As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss . By the time I left work at 5 pm, hoever, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids werent with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be ton off the walls, ceilings pulled down. At first we tried to push on through. We didn t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community（社区）. We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and Id never thought how much Id miss that. Although our situation was very had, its difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at whats happening elsewhere. I watched a news peport about floods in Northern India and thought,“We didnt have a straw but（茅草房） that who swept away, and our house is still standing. Were lucky.” We moved back home in August. With December coming, theres still reconstruction work to be done, so its difficult to prepare for Christmas, But I cant wait-Im going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I wont need any gifts-living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, theres really no rush-we have our home back, and thats the main thing.45.What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean? A.Wrong. B.Missing.C.Right.D.Found.46.It can be inferred from the text that the author . A.was sick of staying upstairs B.cared much about her children C.could not stand living in a wooden house D.did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood47.Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph? A.Because ber situation was not serious. B.Because many other places were flooded. C.Because she had been to Northern lndia. D.Because some others suffered even more.48.What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story? A.She valued human feelings more than before. B.She realized she almost didnt need possessions. C.She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.D.She thought her own home was the most important.C Honesty comes in many forms. First theres self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors ? I find that if I try to be something Im not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version（版本） of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”Then theres honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If youve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you cant to wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didnt do well.I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. Id write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasnt thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldnt do that anymore, because I wasnt really helping theml They werent learning anything, and it would only get harder dwon the road. Cheating certainly wasnt helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.49.The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “ ”.A. to be honestB. to be unrealC. to become clearD. to come from an imagined world50.Which of the following can best explain Judy Garlands words?A. Be your true self rather than follow others.B. Dont copy others or you cant be the first class.C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.D. Dont learn from others unless theyre excellent.51.What does the author expect to show by Jeffs story?A. Honesty can be of great help.B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.52.In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express .A. one must be brave to be honestB. its difficult to be honest when others are notC. one should be honest when making a depositD. honesly in ones actions can help him in the futureDCities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who neeed more time to cross streets.A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to offcial data. Crosswalks can be especiallly dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compard with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, healthconscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5, 449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006,.But among those in 2006,471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the NAationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)says.53.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people youger than 70.B.Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.C.Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.D.About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.54.What is FHWAs suggestion to states?A.Fixing more traffic lights.B.Providing more erosswalks.C.Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.D.Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.55.Whats the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the text?A.Therere many cars and buses on the road.B.Pedestrians are careless.C.Crosswalks are crowded.D.Drivers dont give way.56.The report from NHTSA suggests that _.A.fewer people were injured in crosswalksB.crosswalk safety has greatly improvedC.much has been done to reduce traffic accidentsD.pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problemEAll to often,a choice that seems sustainable（可持续的）turns out on closer examination to be problematic.Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol（乙醇）for fuel from corn.Corn is a renewable resoureeyou can harvest it and grow more,almost limitlessly.So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.One might get a bit more energy out of the ethand than that used to make it,which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally,but thats not the end of the problem.Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people,which drives up the cost of food.That result leads to turning the fallow landincluding,in some cases,rain forest in places such as Brazilinto farmland,which in turn gives off lots carbon dioxide(CO2)into the air.Finally,over many years,the energy benefit from buring ethanol would make up for the forest loss.But by then,climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.You cannot really declare any practice“sustainable”until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental（环境的）costs.Even then,technology and public policy keep developing,and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results.The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.57.What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?A.The growing demand for energy to make ethaol.B.The increasing carbon dioxide in the air.C.The greater need for farmland.D.The big chan
