In the video, the new student Jackson just got a seat and ate his chicken sandwich. Suddenly the food stuck (卡住) in his throat and his face turned red. Hunter Olsen sat across from Jackson. He thought that Jackson was just joking and laughed along with his friends.
But soon it became clear that Jackson was really choking and tried to cough the food out. He pointed to his throat to tell Hunter that he was not playing a trick. Hunter realized that he had to do something and used the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法). Finally, Jackson coughed the food out and could breathe again.
Ms. Howa, who taught them the Heimlich maneuver during her health class, said she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what happened. But she was over the moon to know that her student put what she taught into practice. She was so proud of Hunter.
Hunter said he wasn’t interested in Ms. Howa’s class because he thought he would never use it in his life, but her great teaching helped him know what to do when in trouble. Then he said, “I just thought that doing something was better than doing nothing.”

C
Natural disasters are terrible events that can hurt people and destroy our environment. Among them, earthquakes and tsunamis are two common and dangerous ones:.They often bring serious damage, so it is important for us to learn about them and know how to protect ourselves.
An earthquake happens when rocks under the earth move suddenly and quickly. This strong movement makes the ground shake a lot. In a serious earthquake, tall buildings may fall down, roads can break, and power lines may fall. People may get hurt, lose their homes, or even lose their lives. What’s worse, most earthquakes come without any clear warning, so we must keep safety rules in mind and stay calm when danger comes.
A tsunami is a big disaster that often comes after an undersea earthquake. It is a series of huge and powerful sea waves. These waves can travel very fast and reach the coast quickly. When they arrive, they can wash away houses, cars, trees, and even people near the sea. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the worst in history. It hit many countries and took thousands of lives.
Staying safe is the most important thing. When an earthquake happens, we should hide under strong desks or tables, and stay far away from windows, heavy furniture or walls. If we are near the sea and feel an earthquake, we should move to higher ground at once, because a tsunami may follow soon.
We cannot stop natural disasters, but we can learn more about them and get well prepared. Knowing how to protect ourselves can help us stay safe and save more lives when danger comes.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个女孩子向父亲述说生活的艰难,父亲通过在水中煮土豆,鸡蛋和咖啡豆的例子告诉女孩生活的样子取决于你如何对待它。
【21题详解】
句意:她厌倦了一直奋斗和努力工作。
relaxed放松的;tired厌倦的;excited激动的;surprised惊讶的。根据“ she didn’t know how she was going to make it”可知她不知道该如何应对生活中的困难,故她厌倦了一直奋斗。短语“be tired of doing sth.”意为“对……厌倦的”。故选B。
【22题详解】
句意:似乎一个问题刚解决,另一个问题就接踵而至。
question问题(提问中的);advice建议;problem困难(特指难题);dream梦想。根据“her life was terrible”可知她认为生活是艰难的,说明生活中有很多难题。故选C。
【23题详解】
句意:他往三个罐子里装满水,然后把每个罐子放在高高的火上。
dropped掉;raised举;筹集;filled填充;placed放置。根据短语“fill sth. with sth.”意为“用某物填充某物”可知此处是在罐子里装满水。故选C。
【24题详解】
句意:当三个锅开始沸腾时,他把土豆放在一个锅里,鸡蛋放在第二个锅里和咖啡豆放在第三个锅里。
potatoes土豆;eggs鸡蛋;coffee咖啡;water水。根据第三段“potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same difficulty”可知,这里共出现了三种食物,土豆,鸡蛋和咖啡豆,故在第二个罐子里放入了鸡蛋。故选B。
【25题详解】
句意:然后,他让这几个罐子放在火上煮,一句话也没对女儿说。
them他们;it它;her她;him他。根据前文中他将三种食物分别放进三个装满水的罐子里可知,他让这三个罐子在火上煮,故这里的代词应该指代三个罐子,故选A。
【26题详解】
句意:女儿等着,不知道他在干什么
when什么时候;why为什么;what什么;how如何。分析句子成分可知,what he was doing 是wonder的宾语,且在宾语从句中,what作do的宾语,能作宾语的只能是what。故选C。
【27题详解】
句意:二十分钟后,他关掉了炉子。
minutes分钟;hours小时;days天;months月。根据故事发生的情节和常识判断可知是罐子在炉子上煮了二十分钟。故选A。
【28题详解】
句意:然后他解释说,土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆都面临着同样的困难
invited邀请;reminded提醒;encouraged鼓励;explained解释。根据下文是对三种食物遇到的相同难题,但最终产生不同的结果的一种解释,故选D。
【29题详解】
句意:然而,他们都以不同的方式处理它。
quickly快速地;slowly慢慢地;differently不同地;suddenly突然地。根据下文中土豆在煮后变软了,鸡蛋变硬了,咖啡豆变成了不一样的东西,说明他们以不同的方式应对问题——煮。故选C。
【30题详解】
句意:土豆在进去的时候是硬的,但是在沸水中,它变得柔软。
clean干净的;strong强壮的;weak虚弱的;dirty脏的。根据“soft and”可知横线上的词应当与soft具有相近的意思。故选C。
【31题详解】
句意:鸡蛋很容易碎,但放在沸水中后就变硬了。
before在……前;after在……后;though尽管;so所以。根据前文中关于土豆的描述是被煮的前后状态对比,说明此处是对鸡蛋被沸水煮的前后对比,因此进入前是易碎的,之后变硬了。故选B。
【32题详解】
句意:当它们被放入沸水中后,它们创造了一些新的东西。
met遇到;found发现;created创造;collected收集。根据上下文可知they指的是咖啡豆,由常识判断可知咖啡豆被煮过后会变成咖啡液,故从形态上发生了变化,成为一种新的东西。故选C。
【33题详解】
句意:“你是哪一个?”他问女儿。
looked看;left离开;asked问;answered回答。根据引号中是个问题可知,他问了女儿一个问题。故选C。
【34题详解】
句意:你是土豆、鸡蛋还是咖啡豆?
and和;or或者;否则;but但是;because因为。分析句子结构可知,这里是一个选择疑问句。故用or表示“还是”,故选B。
【35题详解】
句意:在生活中,事情发生在我们周围,发生在我们身上,但唯一真正重要的是你选择如何处理它,以及你从中得到了什么。
remember记住;forget忘记;decided决定;matter有重大影响。根据上下文可知,父亲将三种不同食物的最终结果比作生活中我们处理问题的方式和态度,意在说明困难时常有,但重要的是处理方式和态度。故选D。

【42题详解】
句意:在他的老师把试卷递给他之后,杰森写上了他的名字并从第一个问题开始。根据“his teacher handed him the test paper”可知,此时考试刚刚开始。杰森应该回答第一个问题。“第一个”用序数词first表示。
【43题详解】
句意:当他做题的时候,他意识到考试不是那么难。从句“he was working through the questions”指的是主句“he realized that the test was not that hard”发生的时间,while引导时间状语从句。首字母大写。
【44题详解】
句意:考试结束之后,当杰森把卷子交上去的时候,他笑了。“hand in”,动词短语,意为“递交”。句子为一般过去时,动词用过去式。故填handed。

A boy helped save the life of his friend from choking (哽噎) in the dining hall at school while having their lunch there. Many people watched the video of the accident on the Internet.
In the video, the new student Jackson just got a seat and ate his chicken sandwich. Suddenly the food stuck (卡住) in his throat and his face turned red. Hunter Olsen sat across from Jackson. He thought that Jackson was just joking and laughed along with his friends.
But soon it became clear that Jackson was really choking and tried to cough the food out. He pointed to his throat to tell Hunter that he was not playing a trick. Hunter realized that he had to do something and used the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法). Finally, Jackson coughed the food out and could breathe again.
Ms. Howa, who taught them the Heimlich maneuver during her health class, said she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what happened. But she was over the moon to know that her student put what she taught into practice. She was so proud of Hunter.
Hunter said he wasn’t interested in Ms. Howa’s class because he thought he would never use it in his life, but her great teaching helped him know what to do when in trouble. Then he said, “I just thought that doing something was better than doing nothing.”

Natural disasters are terrible events that can hurt people and destroy our environment. Among them, earthquakes and tsunamis are two common and dangerous ones:.They often bring serious damage, so it is important for us to learn about them and know how to protect ourselves.
An earthquake happens when rocks under the earth move suddenly and quickly. This strong movement makes the ground shake a lot. In a serious earthquake, tall buildings may fall down, roads can break, and power lines may fall. People may get hurt, lose their homes, or even lose their lives. What’s worse, most earthquakes come without any clear warning, so we must keep safety rules in mind and stay calm when danger comes.
A tsunami is a big disaster that often comes after an undersea earthquake. It is a series of huge and powerful sea waves. These waves can travel very fast and reach the coast quickly. When they arrive, they can wash away houses, cars, trees, and even people near the sea. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the worst in history. It hit many countries and took thousands of lives.
Staying safe is the most important thing. When an earthquake happens, we should hide under strong desks or tables, and stay far away from windows, heavy furniture or walls. If we are near the sea and feel an earthquake, we should move to higher ground at once, because a tsunami may follow soon.
We cannot stop natural disasters, but we can learn more about them and get well prepared. Knowing how to protect ourselves can help us stay safe and save more lives when danger comes.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. What possible results do earthquakes bring according to the passage?
A. Plants grow faster and better. B. Tall buildings and roads may be destroyed.
C. Days become longer and nights shorter. D. More trees and flowers appear.
12. What should we do at once if we are near the sea and feel an earthquake?
A. Go to the beach to watch waves. B. Move quickly to higher ground.
C. Stay in a small room near windows. D. Run into a tall building.
13. Which of the following is a right way to keep safe during an earthquake?
A. Stand near windows or heavy furniture. B. Run outside as quickly as possible.
C. Hide under strong desks or tables. D. Take expensive things with you.
14. According to the passage, what usually leads to a tsunami?
A. Heavy rain and strong wind along the coast. B. A strong undersea earthquake.
C. Sudden temperature change at sea. D. Serious air pollution in the ocean.
15. Why does the writer advise us to learn about earthquakes and tsunamis?
A. Because they are easy to study.
