They left to spend the night in motels or at friends homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (龙卷风) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldnt offer safety from high wind.“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled (爬) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldnt hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.“Next time, well stay inland at Grandmas. Okay?” my dad said.21. What did the family do before the storm came?A. They left the motels. B. They packed up the cars. C. They stayed on the beach. D. They visited their neighbors.22. What was the familys immediate action when they saw the tornado approach?A. Crawling on the ground. B. Praying in silent terror.C. Running away at once. D. Closing their eyes tightly.23. Where did the family stay in the storm?A. Inside the car. B. In a basement.C. Behind a door. D. Under a deck. 24. What can be the best title for the text?A. Life on the beach B. An Unusual Cottage C. Surviving a Storm D. My Admirable FamilyBA childs birthday party doesnt have to be ahassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, aged 4 and 18 months. “Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesnt have to be that way,” said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year -old, founded a home party-planning business called “A Party in a Basket.” Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and theyre very interactive and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.” The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.25. What does the underlined word “hassle”(paragraph 1) probably mean A. a plan requiring careful thoughtB. a situation causing difficulty or troubleC. a party designed by specialistsD. a demand made by guests26.The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that .A. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitationsB. guests play a part in the preparation of a partyC. it brings parents and children closer togetherD. it provides a subject of conversation27. The main purpose of writing this text is .A. to share information about party planningB. to introduce the joys of a birthday partyC. to announce a business planD. to sell a service28. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner? C“Beating is a sign of affection，cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern timeswith parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever beenbut experts say they still ring true.Today，it seems，Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.“Good education doesnt mean letting your children enjoy privileges，especially our boys.” said Song Wenming，an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua，East Chinas Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”In August，Song sent his 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone，even though it takes a lot of moneyaround $48,000 per yearto send a child to a strict military school.Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.A few years ago，there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today，there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families；some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers，director of marketing and communications at the school.Songs only son，Song Siyu，had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.Now，three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds，finishing a meal without looking at his food，and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism，no matter how unreasonable.“The training is hard but I know it is good for selfdevelopment of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character；they are not personal.”But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.But for those who stick with it，there is a reward for all the hard work.29.From the second paragraph，we can know the old Chinese saying .A.is out of date in modern times B.is still worth trustingC.is disagreed by rich parents D.is deeply believed by better educated parents30.The underlined sentence means that .A.Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonelyB.Song is the only one who sends his child to military schoolC.the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it D.there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song31.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?A.10. B.13. C.25. D.15.32.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Its likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.B.Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.C.Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.D.Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA. DI first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Caf. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpaypaying it forward for a future customers meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Caf opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R .M and healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafs. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“I think the community caf is truly a hand up, not a handout,” Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically dont feel good about going there.“One of the values of the community caf is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”The successful cafs not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood whether its a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am-1pm shift at World-Healthy-Caf began with the caf manager one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasnt the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.33. What is the advantage of community cafs compared with soup kitchens?A. People can have free food.B. People can find their places in society.C. People can stay as long as they like.D. People can maintain their dignity.34. Why are community cafs becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They help to bring people together.B. They bring people true friendships.C. They create a lot of job opportunities.D. They support local economic development.35. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Caf?A. It paid well.B. It was beneficial.C. It changed her.D. It was easy for her.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is an old Spanish saying which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put off our dreams tomorrow? 36 We have to go for them now!l Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about death, but everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day or the hour. 37 Dont go to your tomb(坟墓) with unrealized dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now. 38 One of the biggest dream killers is fear. Many people could have achieved amazing things if only they werent afraid. Just think about all the things youve wanted to go, but allowed fear to convince you that you werent talented, or good enough. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create.l Take action to realize your dream. You can dream about writing a great play, but its never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 39 .Possibilities are waiting on you. There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you. How do you get to them? Simple! Follow your dream. 40 Youll never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen.A. Dont let fear win.B. In other words, dreams dont work unless you do.C. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait.D. Therefore, today is all we have.E. Youll be much happier if you go for it.F. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody can copy.G. Doors that you couldnt imagine open up when you go after what you want.第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When we are young, we always dream of love and success.

I asked what she was thinking about.“Mommy,” she 47 , “I just cant stop looking at your pretty face.” I was deeply moved by her words. Little did she know how many 48 moments the glow of her sincerely loving 49 would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old 50 to a department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a 51 playing the piano. Sam and I 52 down on a marble bench nearby, enjoying the 53 quietly.I didnt realize that Sam had 54 next to me until he turned, took my face 55 his little hands and said, “ 56 with me.”If only those women strolling under the moonlight had known the joy of such an 57 made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. 58 shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑), and pointed at us as we 59 around the open space, I would not have 60 a dance with such a charming young gentleman if Id been offered the universe.41.
