At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake (地震).” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.
Nothing happened in the next few hours. My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicenter (震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the city of Kashmir. After we watched the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.
I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors (幸存者). We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake. And I felt terrible when I saw the tears of the people crying for those dead people.

句意:吉姆决定打扫洗手间,于是他拿起了“打扫浴室”的卡片。根据“clean the bathroom”可知是决定打扫洗手间,clean“打扫”,decide to do“决定做某事”,此处应用动词原形。故填clean。
【47题详解】
句意:罗伯特喜欢铺床,所以他拿起自己最喜欢的卡片。根据“loved to make the bed”可知,喜欢铺床,favorite“最喜欢的”符合语境。故填favorite。
【48题详解】
句意:很快,两个男孩很高兴地拿走了所有的卡片。此处指前文提到的卡片card,all修饰名词复数。故填cards。
【49题详解】
句意:为了帮助孩子们做家务,他们的母亲经过深思熟虑,想出了这个主意。根据“their mother thought…and came up with this idea.”可知,这里是他们的母亲经过深思熟虑,想出了这个主意,think hard意为“深思熟虑”。故填hard。
【50题详解】
句意:当然,他们的父母周末做家务,让吉姆和罗伯特有两天的空闲时间。根据“the parents did the chores at weekends”可知,这里指他们的父母周末做家务,让孩子们休息两天,free“空闲的”符合语境。故填free。

【答案】例文:
Dear Tom,
I know you have some problems in your life and study. Here is some advice for you.
First, if you feel lonely and find it difficult to make friends with others, try to be friendly and talk to others more. Join clubs or activities to meet new friends. Second, don’t spend too much time playing computer games. It’s bad for your health and studies. Third, finish your homework on time and ask teachers for help when you have problems. Considering that you are not good at Chinese, I suggest you practice speaking Chinese more with Chinese friends. Last, quarreling with parents can make them sad. Try to communicate with your parents often. Tell them your feelings, and listen to theirs.
Hope these tips can help you. You’re a great person, and I believe you can overcome these challenges!
Yours,
Li Hua

Course 4
This course is special because the teachers will show you lots of knowledge (知识) out of classrooms. There is a big garden which needs planting. Students will plant flowers, vegetables and some trees with the teachers’ help.

①Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
②Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
③Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty (口渴的)—sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
④Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
⑤Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
⑥Don’t eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.

B. We should eat dinner at least 2 hours before sleeping.

At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake (地震).” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.
Nothing happened in the next few hours. My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicenter (震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the city of Kashmir. After we watched the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.
I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors (幸存者). We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake. And I felt terrible when I saw the tears of the people crying for those dead people.
27. The writer was ________ when the earthquake happened.
A. reading a book B. cooking breakfast C. moving a table D. talking with his parents
