Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “Its the ocean that makes Rockaway so special, she says.On October 29, 2020, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.My morn tells me that I cant control what happens to me, “Natalie says, but I can always choose how I deal with it. Natalies choice was to help.She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patricks collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I cant imagine living anywhere but Rockaway, “Natalie declares. My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before. 25.

Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a childs class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their childrens education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, I really dont know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents help with homework. Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks. They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but theyre still offering advice. Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45 % negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parent to get involved because children with good academic success do have involved parents admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives. 29. The underlined expression parental involvement in Paragraph 1 probablymeans_.A. parents expectation on childrens healthB. parents control over childrens lifeC. parents participation in childrens educationD. parents plan for childrens future30. What is the major finding of Robinsons study?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.C. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.D. Parents are not able to help with childrens homework.31. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents shouldA. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. set a specific life goal for their childrenC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school managementDFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat and when and how we eat them-are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cakes were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Foods also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.32.

What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A. Trust. B. Togetherness C. Health. D. Success34. The author explains the role of food in celebrations byA. making comparisons B. using examplesC. analyzing causes D. describing processes35.What is the passage mainly about?A.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.36 Try the following steps:Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender. Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. Try to see things from your offenders angle.C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. How should you start to forgive?E. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.F. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.G. If you wait/or people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分： 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和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。One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder.

People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 44 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 45 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 46 .Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash, What made it almost 47 to deal with was that the day before the 48 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 49 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 50 . It wasnt until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 51 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 52 everything so harshly. She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 53 as well.Perhaps most of us arent extreme at fault-finding, 54 when were honest, we can be sharply 55 of the world. Im not suggesting you 56 problems, or that you pretend things are 57 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are- 58 most of the time, and especially when its not a really big 59Train yourself to bite your tongue, and with a little 60 ,youll get really good at letting things go.
