第一节 阅读理解(每小题2分,共5小题,总分10分)
A
July 21st. 2007 was a typical English summer’s day --- it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5 pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down.
At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs, we put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community. We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.
Although-our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw hut that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”
We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait --- I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts --- living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush --- we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.
26. What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Wrong. B. Missing. C. Right. D. Found.
27. It can be inferred from the text that the author __________.
A. was sick of staying upstairs.
B. cared much about her children.
C. could not stand living a wooden house.
D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood.
28. Why does author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?
A. Because her situation was not serious.
B. Because many other places were flooded.
C. Because she had been to Northern India.
D. Because some others suffered even more.
29. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?
A. She valued human feelings more than before.
B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.
C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.
D. She thought her own home was the most important.
30. Why did the author move to a wooden house in a park?
A. Because it was too damp upstairs and they felt uncomfortable.
B. Because there are no neighbours around and they felt lonely.
C. Because the situation in the city was worse and worse.
D .Because Christmas was corning and they would prepare for it
