Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren't getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign.

Shortly after Streng sat down to pose, the piece of ice broke off and floated into the water.“I thought it was safe. One girl had been on it and then two girls at the same time, and it was very secure with them. When I got on it, it started to shake and a wave was coming in. A very large wave came in and made the throne kind of shake, and I could tell that I was slipping off,” Streng told ABC News.Streng’s story went hot after her 24-year-old granddaughter Catherine tweeted a text mess- age exchange she had with her father about the incident. “My grandmother almost got lost at sea in Iceland today!”Catherine, who teaches English in Seoul, South Korea, explained via Twitter that her father described the scene vividly. He has a PhD in English, and described the event in the following words, “She climbed to the throne after a wave had pulled back and left it briefly exposed on the beach. Then a wave washed in and removed the ice throne, rocking it from side to side. When the wave left, it lifted the throne and carried her out into the sea with the tide.”Luckily for the Streng family, Randy, a licensed boat captain from Florida with knowledge of water rescue strategies witnessed the whole thing, and was able to save the day（转危为安）.Where was the grandma when her son was taking a picture for her?A. On a crown    B. In an iceboat  C. At a throne beach    D. On an icebergHow did Catherine spread this accident?A. By posting the text message exchange with her father.B. By drawing a vivid picture.C. By exchanging tweeter account.       D. By talking with her father in Seoul.Who saved the grandmother?A. Catherine         B. Streng          C. Randy         D. Judith.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Taking Pictures Must be Very Dangerous  B. A Grandma Floated out to the Sea on an IcebergC. An Optimistic Family Who Love Iceberg  D. The Licensed Boat Captain Went Hot SlowlyCIt's Earth's birthday! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old! In honour of our planet, former U. S.

Many environmental laws were passed, and people all over the country made promises to protect the environment.Since then, Earth Day has spread around the world and people are working together to create cleaner air and energy to take care of Mother Nature.

In New York City, a nonprofit agency called Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me. Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a bath and how to dress a baby depending on the season.She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy and overly demanding. Delores Clemens says, “that's not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. If you never pick him up, he's going to keep crying. Pick your baby up. Cuddle your baby. Hug him! And she started to do that. They just want a little cuddling and a little love. And it works!”Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. Around three hundred fifty teenage mothers graduate from Covenant House's Mommy and Me class every year.In class, with her baby son is Natasha. She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. As she told reporter Adam Phillips, she is also glad for the help they offer in seeking a more secure life.The World Health Organization says the United States has forty-one births for every one thousand girls age fifteen to nineteen.

As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.    While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, “Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone,” Seeing that there was a flower stall（摊位）at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower? It will make her feel better.” I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed.”    By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.” He then turned to me, “You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of  being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son went down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, “Happy Mother's Day to you, too.”注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右；应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；续写部分分为两段，每段的开关语已为你写好；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1:Paragraph 1:       After a moment, the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance                                                                                                                          __________________________________________________________________             Paragraph 2:One year later,                                                                                                                                                                  ____________________________________________________________________            答案听力理解（每小题2分，满分20分）1—5 CBBCC   6. 400/four hundred   7.

The crowd gradually scattered. Tenyson and I went home. On our way home, he asked me worriedly, “Mon, will the elderly lady be OK since she was too old and she had badly fallen over?” I looked at him and said. “The elderly lady would be fine since there were so many people coming to help her. And you did a wonderful deed, my boy.”    One year later, it was Mother's Day again. As last year, I went shopping at the local supermarket with Tenyson. Suddenly, Tenyson said excitedly, “Look , Mom. It is that old woman” I looked that way and saw the elderly lady and her husband. It seemed that she had recovered from her injury. We walked towards them and they were happy to meet us, too. The elderly lady hugged my son and whispered to him. “I will never forget the flower you give me, my sweet boy.”
