My Mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done.My brothers were seven and five years older than me and much bigger as well. Still, it was I who decided to start the snowball fight. I hit one of them when they werent looking and soon we were all making and throwing snowballs as fast as we could. Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs that came my way until the one that caught me in the back of the head and sent me sliding into the two-foot-deep snowdrift. I felt two hands grasp my shoulders as my oldest brother lifted me out safely. I laughed as I dusted the snow off.Later Mom called us back inside for a lunch of hot chicken soup. I drank it slowly and then sat near the old, wood stove in our living room and let the warmth quickly dry my damp socks and jeans. It felt so nice. I couldnt describe the feeling back then but I know now that it was pure happiness.In those innocent days of childhood there was no regret for the past or worry for the future. Each moment could be enjoyed just the way God intended. Each day could be filled with fun, laughter, and love. I think that we all need to re-experience that feeling in our lives. We need to live with childlike joy while keeping our adult wisdom. We need to throw a few snowballs and drink a few bowls of soup afterwards. We need to trust in our Heavenly Fathers love for us and share our love with others as well. Life here is too brief not to enjoy all of its precious moments.21. The writers mother ordered the boys outside because _A. she wanted to punish them.B. she wanted to do some housework.C. she wanted them to do more outdoor exercises.D. she wanted them to help her do housework outside. 22. Why could the writer avoid so many snowballs?A. Because his figure was small.B. Because he was the youngest.C. Because he had quick reaction.D. Because he was good at avoiding.23. What is the writers purpose in writing the text?A. To show love between brothers.B. To recall an experience in his childhood.C. To show life should be enjoyed to the fullest.D. To sing high praises of his mothers greatness.BOne day your pocket might power your smart phoneSoon you may never have to worry about your smart phone running out of juiceYour clothing will simply power it back up for you. Thats the word from scientists at Chinas Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy, or clothes that can charge things. The assumption is simplePeople today rely heavily upon devices such as smart phones and tablets. And theyre looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go. So if you could design clothing fabric（面料） that could make use of solar power -one of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sources -youd be able to charge your various devices with ease Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibersBut there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes：The fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process， namely during the weaving and cuttingThe Chongqing and Jinan University scientists say theyve solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexible - each individual thread is easily bendable，and not simply the fabric as a whole The teams sample textile can be fully charged to 1.2 volts（伏） in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlight enough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronicsIts durable，too；their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days. But dont worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth. The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns，and tailored into any designed shape, without affecting performance24.What does the underlined phrase running out of juice in Paragraph 1 mean？ A. Being lacking in energyB. Wanting to have some juiceC. Being picked out of a drinkD. Having some water running out25. What is the scientists attitude towards the scientific technology？ A. Optimistic B. Pessimistic C. Neutral D. Doubtful26. This passage is written to _ A. persuade readers to buy new clothesB. inform readers of the ways to use their devicesC. introduce new wearable energy to readersD. remind readers to wear smart clothesCCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wild lands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.28. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures.29. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Californias Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California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。 Rock music consists of many different styles.

Some would suggest that a day would be great if everything they did turned out well, or they got exactly what they needed. On the other hand, have you ever thought that what you may give someone else may be the best day you ever had especially when you put someone elses well-being or happiness first on your list? There is special warmth available to you and that warmth can come from a helping hand, doing a small favor for a total stranger, or even a smile. I recall a day recently when I had to go to the hospital for an appointment because I wasnt feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and determine the cause. As I drove to the hospital, I admittedly was feeling gloomy and certainly wasnt on top of my game. As I approached the hospital, I began my search for a parking spot, a spot that was hard to come with everyone else trying to do the same thing. I finally found a spot not too far from the entrance to the hospital. As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking somewhat upset standing in front of a parking meter two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed was change（零钱） for the meter(收费码表). Although ,I really didnt feel that great, I
