(2015郑州高三第一次质量预测)【短篇故事类】
Katie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid;a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies;she was never a discipline(纪律) problem.I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day,and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch.They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem,but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day,I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches,Katie?What happened to your homemade lunch?”I asked.“I lost it,”she responded.I leaned back in my chair and said,“I don’t believe you,Katie.”She didn’t care.“Is someone stealing your lunch,Katie?”I took a new track.“No,I just lost it,”she said.Well,there was nothing else I could do.

【广告说明类】What is the tallest mountain on Earth? Most school children will say the answer is Mount Qomolangma near the border between Nepal and Tibet,China.
There is something that is three hundred and four meters taller than Mount Qomolangma.However,it is mainly underwater.It begins at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean,and rises more than seventeen kilometers from the ocean floor.
Its name is Mauna Loa.In the Hawaiian language,Mauna Loa means “Long Mountain”.Mauna Loa is more than half of the island of Hawaii,the largest of the Hawaiian Islands.It is also the largest and more active volcano on Earth.It has erupted more than thirty times since records were first kept in eighteen forty-three.Today,it is not erupting.However volcano experts say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.
Mauna Loa is not the only volcano on the island of Hawaii.There are four others.One of them,named Kilauea,is still active.It has erupted more than fifty times in the last one hundred years.At this moment,red hot lava is pouring out of Kilauea.It has been doing this since nineteen eighty-three.Sometimes the lava moves slowly.At other times it pours out very fast as huge amounts of pressure force it from the volcano.During these times,it moves almost as quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain.Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat to property on many parts of the island.
