It was a time when I was 11 or 12 years old and all of my elder brothers and sisters came to visit our parents on the weekend. I was of course still living at home. A big storm blew in and lasted for several days. There was no road to travel as roads were all icy. While most people may not like a storm, I really love it as I spent the whole day and night with my family for several days. We played cards, had lots of food and had a really good time. When the storm died down, I was upset. In the end, everyone was able to return home and life came back to normal. What I have been thankful to over the years is that my family has been close during stormy times, and on sunny days as well. We have experienced many storms and still tried to get through them and keep a close relationship. Of course we shouldn’t let a storm be the reason to bring us closer together. Sure blood is very important to one family, but the most important thing comes from respect (尊重) and joy in each other’s family, because members of one family hardly grow up under the same roof (屋檐). 24.

The writer had a good time during the storm. C. The writer enjoyed being with his parents during the rainy weather. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文作者讲述了在暴风雪的日子，家庭成员待在一起，享受着家人之间亲密无间、互相尊重的好时光。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“January passed rapidly and there was so much snow on the ground in Edmonton”可知，下了很多雪，说明是在冬天，故选B。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“While most people may not like a storm, I really love it as I spent the whole day and night with my family for several days.”可知，介绍了作者喜欢暴风雪。结合“I was upset”可知，应该是暴风雪减弱消失后作者很沮丧。故选A。 【26题详解】 段落大意题。根据“What I have been thankful to over the years is that my family has been close during stormy times, and on sunny days as well. We have experienced many storms and still tried to get through them and keep a close relationship.”多年来，我一直心存感激的是，我的家人在风雨交加的日子里一直很亲密。我们经历了许多风暴，但仍然努力度过难关，保持着亲密的关系。可推断，第三段主要为了告诉我们与家庭成员保持亲密的关系是很重要的。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“While most people may not like a storm, I really love it as I spent the whole day and night with my family for several days.

If you are upset or angry, try to keep yourself cool. Try to come up with an idea in order to solve your problem so that it won’t happen again. It’s hard to believe it, but your parents were once kids, too. It might seem that they don’t understand you, but don’t give up. Remember that they don’t really want to make things difficult for you. Your parents care about you, but sometimes it’s just hard for them to know what you are thinking. A parent’s job is to take care of you and keep you safe until you are old enough to take care of yourself! Usually, kids who fight with their parents learn to get along with them sooner or later. This is especially true if kids are able to make their parents know how they feel and what’s important to them. And remember that this takes time. It’s not always easy. Talking to your parents about your opinions instead of shouting at them will also make them listen to you a little more carefully. And you’ll get respect and learn how to get along with them. 28.

It was a time when I was 11 or 12 years old and all of my elder brothers and sisters came to visit our parents on the weekend. I was of course still living at home. A big storm blew in and lasted for several days. There was no road to travel as roads were all icy. While most people may not like a storm, I really love it as I spent the whole day and night with my family for several days. We played cards, had lots of food and had a really good time. When the storm died down, I was upset. In the end, everyone was able to return home and life came back to normal. What I have been thankful to over the years is that my family has been close during stormy times and on sunny days as well. We have experienced many storms and still tried to get through them and keep a close relationship. Of course we shouldn’t let a storm be the reason to bring us closer together. Sure blood is very important to one family, but the most important thing comes from respect (尊重) and joy in each other’s family, because members of one family hardly grow up under the same roof (屋檐). 24. What season was it when the big storm began? A. Summer. B. Winter. C. Autumn. 25. What does the underlined phrase “die down” mean in the second paragraph? A. 减弱 B. 死亡 C. 增强 26. What does the third paragraph want to tell us？ A. The writer is very thankful to his parents for their kind help. B. It is important to experience storms with family members. C. It is important to keep a close relationship with family members. 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The storm took away all the writer’s family members. B. The writer had a good time during the storm. C. The writer enjoyed being with his parents during the rainy weather. C Have you ever felt angry with your parents? Do you sometimes get into a fight with your parents? If you are upset or angry, try to keep yourself cool. Try to come up with an idea in order to solve your problem so that it won’t happen again. It’s hard to believe it, but your parents were once kids, too. It might seem that they don’t understand you, but don’t give up. Remember that they don’t really want to make things difficult for you. Your parents care about you, but sometimes it’s just hard for them to know what you are thinking. A parent’s job is to take care of you and keep you safe until you are old enough to take care of yourself! Usually kids who fight with their parents learn to get along with them sooner or later. This is especially true if kids are able to make their parents know how they feel and what’s important to them. And remember that this takes time. It’s not always easy. Talking to your parents about your opinions instead of shouting at them will also make them listen to you a little more carefully. And you’ll get respect and learn how to get along with them. 28. You should keep yourself _________ if you feel angry. A. upset B. cool C. worried 29. Why do parents misunderstand their kids according to the writer? A. They care about their kids too much. B. They know how their kids feel and what’s important to them. C. They have little idea what their kids are thinking. 30. How can you make your parents listen to you more carefully? A. By talking to them instead of shouting at them. B. By writing to them first. C. By asking your friends to tell your parents your problems. 31. The purpose (目的) of writing the passage is probably to _________. A. talk about how to take care of parents B. introduce ways to solve teenagers’ problems C. show that a mother’s love is great 第二节 (共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 There are two horses working in the field (田野).
