The pounding rain began in the middle of the night.The people of Jackson，Ohio awoke to the sound and then went back to sleep.The next day the rain continued，and the water began to rise.Statistics said Jackson floods once every one hundred years，but no one believed this would be the flood of the century.People were removed from their homes to higher ground，leaving everything behind.Buildings in the low­lying areas were flooded by water.People watched as dogs，cats，cows and other animals were swept away.Cars and trucks were carried miles from their homes.The people felt helpless as they watched Mother Nature showing her power.
Susan returned to her sixth­grade­student teaching the following Monday.She told the story to her students and showed them pictures from the newspaper.Her inspired students stopped raising money for their trip to Camp Kern and began raising money for the flood victims.They sold lollipops (棒棒糖)，wrote letters to the community asking for donations and collected their own money.Even first­graders donated money.Mountains of clothes，furniture and food piled up.Susan's class made Easter baskets from shoeboxes and filled them with candy and toys as well as toothpaste，soap，toothbrushes and shampoo.
Then Susan and I loaded her mom's black car to the ceiling with the Easter baskets.We went to Jackson.We drove from house to house，knocking on doors，ready to begin our mission (使命)．I was filled with trepidation.Would families who had been destroyed by floodwater want an Easter basket? The action seemed useless at first.But their faces lit up as they opened their gifts.One woman even ran out to find us after opening her box，tears rolling down her face.“I collected rabbits，and I lost them all in the flood.There was a small pink rabbit in my box.I can start my collection again.Thank you.” The strong man standing next to her also had tears in his eyes.

(2018·广东广州六中期末考试)
The secret to happiness is keeping busy，research has found.Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negative feelings，the study found.
However，the bad news is that humans seem hard­wired (天生的) to be lazy in order to save energy，according to Professor Christopher K．Hsee，a behavioural scientist at the University of Chicago.
In a study,98 students were asked to complete two surveys.After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one.
They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to.Whichever option they chose，they received a chocolate bar.It turned out that approximately two­thirds (68 student s) chose the
lazy option.Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed.
Prof.Hsee concluded keeping busy helped keep people happy.He said the findings，reported in the journal Psychological Science，had political implications (可能的影响)．
“Governments may increase the happiness of lazy citizens by having them build bridges”，he proposed.
At the individual level，he advised，“Get up and do something.Even if there really is no point in what you are doing，you will feel better for it.” He added，“Incidentally，thinking deeply or engaging in self­reflection can be regarded as keeping busy，too.”
“You do not need to be running around.You just need to be engaged，either physically or mentally.”
【语篇解读】一项研究发现，快乐的秘诀就是让自己忙起来。

无论是体力上的还是脑力上的，只要有事做，人就会感到快乐。

28．Why can keeping busy make people happy?
A．It can help people get rid of laziness.
B．It can make people sleep better.
C．It can help people get rid of negative feelings.

根据第一段中的“Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negative feelings”可知，C项正确。

故选C。

29．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The finding may contribute to politics.
B．The officials have taken Prof.Hsee's advice.
C．In the study half students didn't hand in the first survey nearby.
D．The government can increase citizens' happiness by building bridges.
解析：选A 细节理解题。

根据第五段中的“He said the findings...had political implications (可能的影响)．”可知，该发现可能具有政治影响。

故选A。

30．Which of the following will Prof.Hsee agree?
A．Only by keeping working all the time can you gain happiness.
B．The journal Psychological Science has political implications.
C．Keeping busy can add to the possibility of being happy.
D．That everybody is born to be lazy is accepted by all.
解析：选C 细节理解题。

Thunderstorms are weather systems that make strong winds，heavy rain，lightning，and thunder.Thunderstorms can happen anywhere with two conditions：the air near the Earth's surface must be warm and wet，and the atmosphere must be unstable (不稳定的)．
Thunderstorms are rare in winter，mostly because of cold ually there are more thunderstorms in summer than in winter.This is because the ground has warmed up enough in summer.When the air has gone high enough，the water vapor (蒸气)in it forms a cloud.The height where this happens depends on the temperature and humidity of the air.
Lightning，which happens with all thunderstorms，makes thousands of forest fires each year in the United States.Lightning also kills or injures hundreds of people a year in the United States.
Thunderstorms not only do damage，but they can be a great help to man and all other living creatures.We get lots of water for many continents during the summer.Plants receive lots of life­giving rain when they n eed it.Thunderstorms are also our natural air conditioners.Hot air at the surface rises up into the high atmosphere where it is put out into space.Clouds give us shade，and rain can cool down a hot day.Without thunderstorms，the Earth would be as much as 20(11℃) warmer.
Here are some tips for keeping safe in a thunderstorm.If lightning comes near，try to find shelter (庇护) in a house，car，or low place under some small trees，but not in a shed.Remember not to use the telephone or any electrical things.
•Stay awa y from water because water conducts electricity.
•Do not stand on a hilltop.Try not to be the tallest object.
•Do not look for shelter under a tree.
•Stay away from metal (like pipes，fences，and wire clotheslines)．
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

主要介绍了雷暴的有关知识，包括雷暴形成的条件、造成的损害、益处以及遇到这种天气的做法等。

32．Why do thunderstorms happen more in summer than in winter?
A．The weather is more changeable in summer.
B．Air in winter can't rise high enough.
C．There is more rain in summer.
D．Summer is hotter and wetter.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据第一段中雷暴形成的两个条件以及第二段中的“This is because the ground has warmed up enough in summer.When the air has gone high enough，the water vapor (蒸气)in it forms a cloud.”可知，和冬季相比，夏天又热又湿，因此雷暴天气更多。

故选D。

33．What does the underlined word “humidity” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Warmth. B．Coldness.
C．Wetness. D．Height.
解析：选 C 词义猜测题。

根据第一段中雷暴形成的条件之一“the air near the Earth's surface must be warm and wet”可知，地球表面温暖潮湿，容易形成雷暴，第二段中“When the air has gone high enough，the water vapor (蒸气)in it forms a cloud.”提到了潮湿这个条件，因此画线词指“湿度”。

故选C。

34．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．Advantages of thunderstorms.
B．Damage caused by thunderstorms.
C．Effects of thunderstorms on the atmosphere.
D．Conditions to cause thunderstorms.
解析：选A 段落大意题。

根据第四段中的“they can be a great help to man and all other living creatures”及下文中所讲述的关于雷暴的各种好处可知，本段主要介绍的是雷暴带来的好处。

故选A。

35．What can we do when a thunderstorm takes place?
A．Use the telephone to call for help immediately.
B．Find a nearby tree as shelter.
C．Remember not to approach water.
D．Avoid hiding in a house.
解析：选 C 细节理解题。

根据文章最后的“Stay away fr om water because water
conducts electricity.”可知，雷暴发生时，应远离水源，因为水会导电，很不安全。

故选C。

【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者参加一次数学考试，但是因为注意力过于集中在第一题上，导致考试时间分配不合理。

61．解析：考查介词。

句意：我常常被告知：耐心、积极思维和毅力是通向成功的必由之路。

a path to意为“一条通往……的道路”，故本空应用介词to。

答案：to
62．解析：考查非限制性定语从句。

句意：考试原定在我们班举行，最后又改在图书馆。

本句为非限制性定语从句，先行词The exam在句中作主语，故本空应用关系代词which。

答案：which
63．解析：考查动词的时态及语态。

根据空前动词“was”可知，本句应用一般过去时；主语The exam和动词change之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态。

答案：was changed
64．解析：考查副词。

句意：然而，这并没有影响到我，因为数学一直是我最强的学科。

前文提到考试地点发生变化，本句表示这并没有影响到我，故上下文表示转折，又根据空前后均为逗号，故本空应用副词however。

答案：however
65．解析：考查代词。

句意：我耐心地走到图书馆，坐到我的座位上，然后深呼吸放松自己。

relax oneself意为“放松自己”。

本句主语为I，故本空应用反身代词myself。

答案：myself
66．解析：考查冠词。

句意：但是当我看到第一个问题的时候，我的情绪马上变了。

表顺序的序数词前应使用定冠词the表示特指，the first question意为“第一个问题”。

答案：the
67．解析：考查连词。

句意：我尽力保持乐观并坚持不懈直到我最后找到了解题方法。

根据句意可知，本句中until引导时间状语从句。

答案：until
68．解析：考查with复合结构。

句意：难题解决了，我对自己的成就感到骄傲。

在with 复合结构中，the problem和动词solve之间为被动关系且动作已经完成，故本空应用过去分词solved作宾补。

答案：solved
69．解析：考查词形转换。

句意：不幸的是，然后我注意到我只剩下10分钟来完成其余的问题。

副词放在句首用逗号和句子隔开，修饰整个句子。

unfortunately意为“不幸地”，放在句首作状语，修饰整个句子。

答案：Unfortunately
70．解析：考查非谓语动词。

修饰表示时间的名词，应用不定式形式，故本空应用to。
