The storm had winds of up to 120 miles an hour, so it could be very dangerous.
Olivia’s city experienced several hurricanes before. All the family had to prepare for it. So Olivia stopped running around with her mom doing last-minute things for her party. She helped her mom prepare their hurricane safety kit (急救包).
While Olivia and her mom were busy at the store buying things, Olivia’s dad was busy helping their neighbor, an old woman, get prepared. When he finished, he returned to their house and covered their windows.
When all the preparations were ready, Olivia’s parents brought some things together: their important papers, some family photos, and a few clothes for everyone. They put them in their car.
Since Olivia’s grandparents live in Atlanta, Olivia and her family would leave Miami and go stay with them for a few days. Hopefully, they would all be able to return soon. Sometimes hurricanes change direction (方向). Olivia hoped this would happen, but she also looked forward to staying with her grandparents for a long time.
59. What broke Olivia’s plan?
A. Her health problem. B. A weather problem.
C. The closing down of the park. D. The family’s trip plan to Miami.

However, the girl didn’t walk into the shop. She just stood there quietly. Ms. Wei was worried about the girl and tried talking with her. She learned that the girl went to see a doctor, but the doctor was out for lunch. She went out of the hospital and didn’t know where to go.
“What’s the matter?” Ms. Wei asked. “I have depression (抑郁症),” the girl replied. Ms. Wei felt sorry. She took some flowers and gave them to her to cheer her up. “These flowers are for you, dear,” Ms. Wei said. “Life is beautiful. Be like the flowers.”
The girl took the flowers and a look of joy appeared on her face. She said thanks and left happily.
Several days later, the girl returned to the shop with her mother. She bought two cups of bubble tea (奶茶) for Ms. Wei. She also gave Ms. Wei a big hug (拥抱).

It’s the most important day I remember in all my life. On this day, my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that day, everyone was busy. I guessed that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door to wait, Suddenly, I felt someone was walking towards me. I reached out my hand for my mom. Someone took it, and I was held (握住) close in her arms. At that time, I didn’t know she was coming to show all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
The morning after my teacher came, she led me into her room and gave me a doll (洋娃娃). I played with it for a little while, and then Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word “d-o-l-l”. I was interested in this finger play and tried to copy it right away. When I’m finally successful in spelling the letters, I was delighted and excited.
In the days that followed I learned to spell in this special way a lot of words like hat, cup, sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.
66. How old was the writer when she met her teacher?
A. 3 months old. B. 3 years old. C. 6 years old. D. over 7 years old.
67. Why did the writer guess something unusual was going to happen?
A. Because someone told her before.
B. Because the door was widely open.
C. Because everybody was out that day.
D. Because everybody was busy at home.

They will do it again this year, Bull Thomas will visit Bookworm Bookshop and Mel’s Music Shop and ask them to give us things that we can sell at the event. Philip White will e-mail all the teachers and ask them to come to our event. Alice Brown will put a message online telling people the event is open to everyone.
However, there’s more to do, and we need your help. We want you to give us things that we can sell books, old clothes, anything that we can sell to raise money for poor children. We also need some student volunteers to sell the things we get on the Market Day.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
I’m Sally, and I’m from a town, where it hardly ever rains. The weather is almost sunny all year round.
However, yesterday was different. I woke up late because the clouds made it seem like nighttime. I was so hurried (匆忙的) that I left my house without taking an umbrella.
While I was waiting for a bus, it began to rain. A car passed by and splashed (减) water on me. My school uniform was really dirty when I got to school. Then during lunchtime, I opened my lunch box and found it was wet. I had to eat a cold and wet sandwich.
After school, I realized I didn’t have enough money for the bus ride, so I had to walk home. While I was walking, I realized that walking in the rain wasn’t as bad as taking the bus—there were two car accidents. Walking might be safer.
When I got home, I got wet through. Luckily, my mom was already home, and she was making hot chocolate for everyone. I took a hot shower and changed into dry clothes. Soon the hot chocolate warmed me up. It wasn’t a bad day, was it?

【75题详解】
根据“After school, I realized I didn’t have enough money for the bus ride, so I had to walk home”可知,放学后,Sally意识到自己没有足够的钱坐公共汽车,所以她不得不走回家。故填Because she didn’t have enough money for the bus ride.

Olivia was sad that she couldn’t believe it! She planned to have her birthday party tomorrow at Cool Park, but it seemed that a hurricane (飓风) was moving to the southern part of the United States—somewhere near Miami, Olivia’s city. The storm had winds of up to 120 miles an hour, so it could be very dangerous.
Olivia’s city experienced several hurricanes before. All the family had to prepare for it. So Olivia stopped running around with her mom doing last-minute things for her party. She helped her mom prepare their hurricane safety kit (急救包).
While Olivia and her mom were busy at the store buying things, Olivia’s dad was busy helping their neighbor, an old woman, get prepared. When he finished, he returned to their house and covered their windows.
When all the preparations were ready, Olivia’s parents brought some things together: their important papers, some family photos, and a few clothes for everyone. They put them in their car.
Since Olivia’s grandparents live in Atlanta, Olivia and her family would leave Miami and go stay with them for a few days. Hopefully, they would all be able to return soon. Sometimes hurricanes change direction (方向). Olivia hoped this would happen, but she also looked forward to staying with her grandparents for a long time.
59. What broke Olivia’s plan?
A. Her health problem. B. A weather problem.
C. The closing down of the park. D. The family’s trip plan to Miami.

③He brought things together. ④He bought things at the store.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④

A Visiting her grandparents. B. Having her birthday party.

“What’s the matter?” Ms. Wei asked. “I have depression (抑郁症),” the girl replied. Ms. Wei felt sorry. She took some flowers and gave them to her to cheer her up. “These flowers are for you, dear,” Ms. Wei said. “Life is beautiful. Be like the flowers.”
The girl took the flowers and a look of joy appeared on her face. She said thanks and left happily.
Several days later, the girl returned to the shop with her mother. She bought two cups of bubble tea (奶茶) for Ms. Wei. She also gave Ms. Wei a big hug (拥抱).

It’s the most important day I remember in all my life. On this day, my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that day, everyone was busy. I guessed that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door to wait, Suddenly, I felt someone was walking towards me. I reached out my hand for my mom. Someone took it, and I was held (握住) close in her arms. At that time, I didn’t know she was coming to show all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
The morning after my teacher came, she led me into her room and gave me a doll (洋娃娃). I played with it for a little while, and then Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word “d-o-l-l”. I was interested in this finger play and tried to copy it right away. When I’m finally successful in spelling the letters, I was delighted and excited.
In the days that followed I learned to spell in this special way a lot of words like hat, cup, sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
I’m Sally, and I’m from a town, where it hardly ever rains. The weather is almost sunny all year round.
However, yesterday was different. I woke up late because the clouds made it seem like nighttime. I was so hurried (匆忙的) that I left my house without taking an umbrella.
While I was waiting for a bus, it began to rain. A car passed by and splashed (减) water on me. My school uniform was really dirty when I got to school. Then during lunchtime, I opened my lunch box and found it was wet. I had to eat a cold and wet sandwich.
After school, I realized I didn’t have enough money for the bus ride, so I had to walk home. While I was walking, I realized that walking in the rain wasn’t as bad as taking the bus—there were two car accidents. Walking might be safer.
When I got home, I got wet through. Luckily, my mom was already home, and she was making hot chocolate for everyone. I took a hot shower and changed into dry clothes. Soon the hot chocolate warmed me up. It wasn’t a bad day, was it?
