Sweat rolled off my forehead as my younger brother and I sat under the tree .
"Hi，Jason, " said my brother ,Chad. "Do you hear the train? " I listened，but I heard only thunder in the distance. It was still miles away，but I heard it. It grew stronger and louder as it gained speed and got closer .How .could that be?I wondered .
We were about to grab our bikes to see what it actually was when we stopped. What looked like a flock of birds darkened the sky overhead. When I looked at it closer，I realized it wasn't birds. It was a tornado (龙卷风) .The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the air turned green and heavy. The sun disappeared. The wind strengthened and roared.I grabbed Chad's arm and pulled him toward the house .I tried to open the door， but it was as if an invisible force pushed against me. The door refused to open. When we finally managed to get inside，we found it was as dark as night. Our family had practiced a tornado safety plan many times. But I had never imagined that it would be just Chad and me at home the first time we needed to use it.
"Inside the closet!"I yelled.It was small and crowded,but we got in it anyway. Chad began to cry. "It's going to be all right. "I told him. But I was worried about Mom. I hope she'd found a safe place to wait out the storm.
The storm continued. I heard a thud on the roof. I felt the whole house shaking. Then it was quiet.I opened the door and we inched our way out of the closet. Rain had got in through the open window and wet the carpets. A kitchen Window had shattered，its screen blown away.I looked at the backyard. The tree was uprooted，and broken branches lay on the ground .
"Jason， I can't get service， " Chad said as he held the phone in his hand. We had no electricity，either. I glanced at the wall clock. Had it been only 20 minutes since we'd first heard the thunder? Then I heard footsteps toward the house .Mom had made it home safely. "Boys!" she yelled. "Are you all right?
We ran out and hugged her. The sun came out，and this time it shone bright and clear .

Traveling on an airplane can be a very tiring task even in the best of circumstances, which is why when Sophie Murphy boarded a recent flight from Sydney to Melbourne and noticed an awful tension" in the cabin， she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.
A teenage boy with Down syndrome(唐氏综合症)who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew's warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing- and angering people on the already tense flight.
"If it was a cartoon, " remembered Murphy, "there would have been smoke coming out of people's ears."
As the boy's elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, but in vain, Murphy，42一 -who had been a teacher for more than 20 years- stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.
She found the boy in the passage between rows o1 seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him. Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand- rand then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Murphy asked for sick bags， and held them as the boy threw up several times， including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they'd get through it together.
After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers- obviously following Murphy's amazing example- allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Murphy for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert Way of handling the situation.

I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.
The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate(极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I had a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me out, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed(显示)my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weaknesses are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the unknown.
1：How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?
A.She got cross. B.She was determined.
C.She got frightened. D.She was uninterested.
2：What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands?
A.Personal qualities. B.Individual abilities.
C.Spirit of teamwork. D.Courage to challenge.
3：What does the author think of women’s showing weaknesses?
A.Beneficial. B.Shameful. C.Merciful. D.Disturbing.
4：What’s the intention of the author in writing this passage?
A.To inspire us to prepare for our future goal.
B.To advise women how to turn to others.
C.To make suggestions to her team members.
D.To encourage people to explore the unknown.

A primary school principal in north China has become the latest Internet celebrity for leading some cool moves during a morning exercise routine with his students.
Every morning, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at Xiguan Primary School in Linyi County, Shanxi Province would lead about 700 pupils in the playground in a synchronised “ghost shuffle” routine—a dance that incorporates contemporary jazz steps with heel, toe and arm movements. The bold headmaster thought the fun and energetic exercise routine would better encourage students to get active instead of “being glued to their mobile phones”.
The school’s new 30-minute dance routine has replaced the government-imposed broadcast callisthenics programme, a short workout that has been a requirement at every primary, middle and secondary school in China since 1951. “I thought we needed a change because the students have been losing interest in doing the broadcast callisthenics routine,” Zhang told the Southern Metropolis News.
The dedicated principal said he came across a group of people doing the “ghost shuffle” routine at a public plaza last summer and decided to learn the dance himself. “I thought the dance would be great for kids,” he said. “The music is full of energy and it really gets the happy feeling of flowing.” In October, he introduced the choreographed(编排的)routine to all of his students and shortly after, even teachers and staff were joining in. “Now the students aren’t constantly on their phones. I sometimes catch them watching different dance routine videos and learning new moves!”the proud headmaster told reporters.
The video quickly went around on Chinese social media, with a Weibo topic page titled “principal leads students in ghost dance routine” gathering 250 million views. “This is perhaps the best adaptation of sport and entertainment for children,” a comment on Weibo read.
1：What can we know from the passage?
A.Zhang Pengfei is a primary school principal in south China.
B.Xiguan Primary School’s new 30-minute dance routine is both fun and energetic.
C.Doing the broadcast callisthenics routine is only required at primary schools in China.
D.Few people showed interest in Zhang Pengfei’s ghost dance routine video on Weibo.
2：What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.People hold a critical attitude towards the adaptation.
B.People hold an indifferent attitude towards the adaptation.
C.People hold a negative attitude towards the adaptation.
D.People hold a supportive attitude towards the adaptation.

In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
1. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A. His friends' invitation.
B. His interest in the country.
C. His love for teaching.
D. His desire to regain health.
2. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
3. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Dangerous.
4. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book.
B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To remember a writer.
D. To recommend a travel destination.
参考答案：
1.根据第一段的”A few years later, still attracted to the country. he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Ara Sea”可知，几年后，Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。
2.划线句是第二段首句，that用来指代上文提的事情，因此推断that指代第一段的内容，根据第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea(几年后，仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章)”可知，that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事，故选D。
3.根据第三段”This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.”可知，在乌兹别克斯坦的旅途中，Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖，也看到了社会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕，Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上，他因为被怀疑进行毒品交易，他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳，他参加了一个山区葬礼，然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦，他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知，在旅途中，他经历了很多事情。结合选项，B选项(充满事件的，多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。
4.文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行，引出他写的书，接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容，是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。

Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.

A. She helped her dad with his work.
B. She ran the family farm on her own.
C. She supported herself through college.
D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
2. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily.
B. To learn from the best nurses.
C. To save money for her parents.
D. To find a well-paid job there.
3. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?

B. Her time with family.
C. Her reputation.
D. Her chance of promotion.
4. What can we learn from Jenifer's story?
A. Time is money.

“The Great Good Place” is a short story by American novelist Henry James, first published in 1900. Its theme is that people need a place where they can escape the grind of daily life. This is an idea that Howard Schultz, who turned the Starbucks coffee chain into an international giant, used in his business strategy.
Born in 1952, Schultz grew up in Brooklyn. After university, he worked for a firm supplying coffee-making equipment. Shortly after working there, Schultz noticed that a company in Seattle was buying a surprisingly large amount of the firm's equipment, and he decided to investigate. It turned out to be a simple coffee-bean store, but its owners were committed to teaching the public to appreciate good coffee.
This store in Seattle opened in 1971 and took its name from Starbuck, a sailor in the classic novel Moby Dick. Its logo was a two-tailed mermaid. Fascinated by its owners' commitment to coffee, Schultz joined Starbucks. Later, on a trip to Europe, he was impressed by the way that street cafés in Italy were both meeting points and places to drink espresso. This was something American didn't have yet.
In 1985, Schultz started his own coffee-bar business, which soon became a success. Two years later, he got together with some other investors and bought Starbucks for US $ 3. 8 million. Adopting the name and logo, Schultz developed a marketing strategy that turned ordinary cafés into fashionable outlets for coffee. He used clever tricks, such as selling coffee in "short", "tall" and "grande" size rather than the usual small, medium, and large. Customers learned to pronounce unfamiliar Italian names like latte and macchiato. Schultz actually created a market that hadn't existed before.
Within 20 years, Schultz had taken coffee culture from the streets of Europe to almost every city in developed countries. Today, millions of people a week visit Starbucks locations in countries globally. Clearly, these customers are happy with the "great good place".

I wish we hadn't come on this trip! "Jeff's voice echoed across the narrow canyon(峡谷). His father stopped, breathing heavily." T his is hard on you, but you've got to come through with courage!" He gently placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Now, I don't know if I can make it without stopping every so often. You're young, but you're strong and fast. Do you remember the way back fro m here to the road, if you had to go alone?"
Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of Mark, his seventeen-year-old brother at their campsite. H e was bitten by a snake yesterday. T his morning he couldn't move, and the pain got worse. He needed medical attention right away. They had left their phone in the car, and it must have been out of power by then. Leaving Mark at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice.
"Jeff, could you do it?"
Jeff looked to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded and a plan began to take hold in his mind. "What is the name of that little town we stopped, Dad?" T here must be a hospital there.
"Flint. We parked at the side of the road a few miles out of Flint."
Jeff nodded. T hen they continued climbing. Stone by stone, they made their way up the canyon. Gradually, Jeff's father grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Jeff waved to him and then climb ed toward the road. Two hours later, he finally reached the road and struggled toward the town, almost exhausted.
"Can't stop," he thought. "Mark's in big trouble. Keep going." Suddenly, he saw a truck heading to ward him. "Hey, mister!" he shouted, waving both arms. He began to jog toward the truck, and then broke into a full-speed run.
His chest was burning with every breath when the truck driver stopped by him. Jeff explained breathlessly. T he driver reached for his cellphone as soon as he heard about Mark. "Better get the helicopter in there," he said immediately，But Jeff wasn't sure about that because everything got unclear and then went black and quiet.
Hours later, Jeff opened his eyes to find his father on a chair nearby, "You' re a hero, son," his father said with a smile. "You had the helicopter sent into the canyon after Mark.I can't tell you h ow happy I was when I saw it overhead. T hey got him to the hospital, He's going to be fine soon. I'm so proud of you!"
