A
Having lived in California until 1970,my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate,however,to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震級(jí)) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the website.So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later,I was safe outside.

The United States has more tornadoes(龍卷風(fēng)) than any other country in the world.In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet.In the Midwest,the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May.Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening.There is often no warning of a tornado.People who live in the Midwest know the signs of tornado activity.The sky becomes dark,often a greenish color.Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail(冰雹).Suddenly,there is a loud sound,like a train or a jet plane.Sometimes,two,three,five,ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999.The day was stormy,with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon.As the storms continued,tornadoes began to form.Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma,then in Kansas.Some stayed on the ground for several hours,destroying everything they touched.The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others.They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.In some areas,not one home stood.In other areas,the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street,but didn't touch any homes on the right side.The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth.So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

I grew up in a middle-class household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living,a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew,and as a result,I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday,and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before,and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia,but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain,saving every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart,I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the sight of malnourished children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city,home to thousands of families,many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days,I played with children who,despite living in hard conditions,were overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who,despite having nothing,were some of the kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time,my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community,and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip,I began to see the value of learning from people of other races,cultures and religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one,and experienced first-hand the beauty of human diversity.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more?Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),”said Michael Zey,a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate(保守的估計(jì)).”
At the conference in San Francisco,Donald Louria,a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology(納米技術(shù))make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However,many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases,they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120,you know;could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon,director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

B.They are sure to find the truth about long living.
C.They have got some ideas about living forever.
D.They are able to make people live past the present life span.
C [推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段引述Michael Zey的話“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate”并結(jié)合第一段內(nèi)容可知,他要表達(dá)的就是科技發(fā)展有望使人們延長(zhǎng)壽命,與C選項(xiàng)“他們關(guān)于永生有了一些想法”符合文意。故選C項(xiàng)。]
13.What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living?
A.People can live from 120 to 180 years.
B.It is still doubtful how long humans can live.
C.The human body is designed to last past about 120 years.
D.It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.

15.What would be the best title for this text?
A.Living Longer or Not

Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is,you'll likely receive wildly different responses.The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 16
Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams.
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them. 17 Every day take an action,no matter how small,to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes.
18 Many of my strongest memories come from the times I've failed,and those lessons have stayed with me.Failure is beneficial to us.And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.
19
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional state.If you're under stress,your body and mind both require time to recover. 20
For me,life is about experiences.We all have to dream,work hard,and fail before we can achieve success.Maybe we'll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.
A.Take care of yourself.
B.Improve your personality.
C.Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D.It's best to rest,recover,and slowly build back up your strength.
E.Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.
F.Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes,it is impossible to avoid them.
G.Though we can't choose the outcome of our actions,we can choose to keep pursuing(追求).
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文。文章針對(duì)如何使你的經(jīng)歷更有意義這一問題給出了一些方法。
16.E [根據(jù)空后“Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.”可知,這里需要引出全文的主題。然而有一件事情,無論我們?nèi)ツ睦铮紩?huì)同我們?cè)谝黄?,那就是我們的?jīng)歷。故選E。]
17.G [ 根據(jù)空前“The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them.”和空后“Every day take an action,no matter how small,to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.”可知,這里意思是盡管我們不能選擇我們行為的結(jié)果,但是我們可以選擇一直追求,故選G。]
18.C [C項(xiàng)“Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.”提到了錯(cuò)誤使人成長(zhǎng)的問題,由此可知,許多“我”最強(qiáng)烈的記憶都是來自失敗,犯錯(cuò)是一個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)的必經(jīng)之路。故選C。]
19.A [根據(jù)空后“Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale.If you're under stress,your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知,壓力會(huì)耗費(fèi)精力和體力,這一自然段主要介紹了照顧好自己這一問題。故選A。]
20.D [根據(jù)空前“If you're under stress,your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知,最好休息一下,然后重建你的力量,故選D。]

37.itself [考查代詞。根據(jù)語境可知,此處表示“事實(shí)上,并不是寒冷的天氣本身導(dǎo)致了感冒”,故應(yīng)填反身代詞itself。]
38.more [考查限定詞的比較級(jí)。根據(jù)該句中的“more readily”可知,此處也應(yīng)表示比較的含義,故填限定詞的比較級(jí)。]
39.why [考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處引導(dǎo)定語從句,在從句中作原因狀語,先行詞為another reason,故填why。]
40.leading [考查形容詞。修飾名詞reasons要用形容詞,故填leading,意為“主要的”。]
41.a(chǎn)bsence [考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處所填的詞要與school一起構(gòu)成句子的主語,又結(jié)合語境可知,此處表示缺課,故填名詞absence。]
42.recognized [考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處修飾后面的名詞tips且該空前有副詞commonly修飾,故要用過去分詞形式recognized,意為“被認(rèn)可的”。]
43.the [考查冠詞。此處most important是形容詞的最高級(jí);在句中作定語修飾one,其前一般要加the。]
44.in [考查介詞。此處表示“或者通過吸入空氣傳播的微粒”,take in意為“吸入”,為固定用法。]
45.try [此處表示建議,應(yīng)用以動(dòng)詞原形開頭的祈使句,故填try。]

The Make-up (化妝) Guy
Dave was a make-up artist who regularly held make-up artistry classes at the local community college.He was well-known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually,the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives,who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time,it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably,the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations (猜測(cè)) quickly started to spread.Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor's youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area,which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man's intentions.
Throughout the lessons,ignoring the curious women around him,the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned,leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end,the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer,for they knew it was time to remove their doubts,otherwise...
Finally,one of them couldn't resist her curiosity,so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century,he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。

He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes(糖尿病)and she was no longer able to apply her make-up.Fearing being laughed at,she locked herself in her room,abandoning herself to great grief.She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up.But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up.“Sensing her loneliness in a colorless-world,I was also at a loss as to what to do.Once informed of this class,I determined to learn make-up without hesitation,hoping to make a difference.”
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. Without a pause,he shared his story.He mastered a wide range of practical skills,allowing him to help her take on a new look.Surely,being enveloped by an atmosphere of love,his beloved wife at present was deeply affected.“I not only want to learn how to apply her make-up,I want her to wear the most beautiful make-up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced.“It is her smile that touches most my heart,not the make-up.”
