Emergency workers are going door-to-door to search for anyone who may still be trapped in their homes. At least seven deaths have been blamed on the storm so far.‎ The storm poured more than 20 inches of rain on one area of Columbia, South Carolina’s capital. Many cars ended up completely under water on flooded streets. Even weather experts said they were surprised by the amount of rain the storm poured on the state. On Sunday, Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years.‎ Earlier in the week, weather experts had predicted Hurricane Joaquin to attack the East Coast, but the hurricane turned away in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the shift, Experts say tropical moisture（水分）from the hurricane helped boost the power of the rainstorm in the Carolinas and several other neighboring states.‎ According to the National Weather Service, Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia. The rain fall total at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 6.87 inches, the highest one-day level ever recorded there.‎ The flooding caused water main breaks that have threatened the drinking water supply for South Carolina’s capital city. Columbia officials told all 375,000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking it. Worse still, many roads and bridges across the state were washed out or under water.‎ One of the hardest hit areas in Columbia was near Gills Greek, where a weather station recorded over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. Rescue crews used boats to save the family of Jeff Whalen, whose house backed up on the stream.‎ Columbia residents have also been helping one another. Rawlings LaMotte, 38, said he and a friend got into a small motorboat and transported several people to safety.‎ ‎21.Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years because__________.‎ A. it came so suddenly ‎ B. it was so serious C. it killed many emergency workers ‎ D. it failed to be predicted ‎22.

Flooding in South Carolina B ‎ The United States of America was founded in 1779 after the 13 independent American states rose up against the ruling British, defeated them in the American Revolutionary War, and signed the Declaration of Independence, the document which declared the creation of the new country.‎ The men who led the revolution, drafted the Declaration of Independence, and wrote the first American laws are known as “founding fathers”. Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.‎ Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother’s printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1929. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked to improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and his work on electricity, including the “kite experiment” which confirmed the nature of lighting, made him famous throughout the world.‎ Franklin earned the title of the “First American” for his efforts to unite the 13 American states, and to win their independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the ‎ British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time, developing his own political ideas.‎ Following his return to America in 1761, he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.‎ After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania. He is also famous today for his wise sayings, including “a penny saved is a penny earned” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.‎ ‎25. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. The American Declaration of Independence.‎ B. Franklin’s contributions to American society.‎ C. The American War of Independence.‎ D. Benjamin Franklin’s early life.‎ ‎26. How did Franklin begin developing his own political thinking?‎ A. By discussing ideas with political activists in Britain.‎ B. By persuading the 13 American states to unite.‎ C. By fighting against British rule in America.‎ D. By writing articles for his own newspaper.‎ ‎27. What can be inferred about Franklin from the article?‎ A. His most important contribution was in science.‎ B. He was the leader of the “founding fathers”.‎ C. He was successful in many different areas.‎ D. He came from a very wealthy family.‎ ‎28. What is the correct order for the following events from Franklin’s life?‎ a. He started a newspaper business.‎ b. He carried out the kite experience on electricity.‎ c. He worked for his brother in a printing company.‎ d. He was appointed the Ambassador to France.‎ e. He helped write the Declaration of Independence. ‎ f. He visited England to discuss independence.‎ A. e, c, a, b, f, d B. c, a, b, f, e, d C. a, c, f, b, d, e D. f, d, a, b, c, e C Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!‎ Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually, that’s your choices, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!‎ In order to make “ sunshine” or rather “ light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you’d like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people, which is actually often attached to feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity about yourself.‎ You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention . Think about it!‎ Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.‎ Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!‎ ‎29. You can have sunshine from your inside ___________.‎ A. by measuring what you need B. by helping someone else C. by watching what you think, say and do D. by changing your intention ‎30. According to the writer, you don’t feel secure about yourself when you ___________.‎ A. gossip about other people ‎ B. take a close look at your intention C. expect to be recognized for what you’ve done ‎ D. become aware of your negative thoughts ‎31. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Expecting something in return for our help isn’t the right intention.‎ B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.‎ C. If we don’t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.‎ D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.‎ ‎32. The passage is written mainly to ____________ .‎ A. stress the importance of the positive lifestyle B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind ‎ C. offer advice on having sunshine from our inside D. warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes D ‎ After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keeping love with my wife, Peggy: I started dating another woman.‎ ‎ It was Peggy’s idea, actually. “You know you love her,” she said one day, taking me by surprise. “Life is too short. You need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”‎ ‎ The other woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2500 miles away to California and started my own family and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mum. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-together and holidays.‎ ‎ She was surprised and suspicious, then, when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong?” she asked. My mother tried to figured out any signals of bad news.‎ ‎ “I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”‎ ‎ “I’d like that a lot,” she replied.‎ ‎ As I drove to her house, I actually couldn’t help wondering what we would talk about and what if she didn’t like the restaurant I chose.‎ ‎ When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, make-up perfectly applied. “I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed,” she said as she got into my car. “They can’t wait to hear about our evening.”‎ ‎ We didn’t go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. My mother held my arm, half out of affection(情感) and half to help her keep balance.‎ ‎ We had a nice talk over dinner, catching up with each other’s lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.‎ ‎ “I will go out with you again,” my mother said as I dropped her off. “but only if you let me buy dinner next time.” I agreed.‎ ‎ “How was your date?” my wife asked when I got home that evening.‎ ‎ “Nice…nicer than I thought it would be,” I said. She smiled.‎ ‎ Mom and I got out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we took in a movie, but mostly we talked. I told her about my trials at work and the kids and Peggy.‎ ‎ Mum filled me in on family gossip and told me about the past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during World War II. I know how she met my father there. We also talked about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worried about the days ahead. “ I have so much living to do,” she told me once. “I need to be there while my grandchildren grow up. I don’t want to miss any of it.”‎ ‎ I often complain about how quickly time flies. Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down.‎ ‎ Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.‎ ‎33. _________ was “another woman” who dated the author.‎ A. His wife’s mother B. His mother C. His wife D. An old woman 34. Why did the author say that “Dating another woman has helped my marriage”?‎ A. He appreciated his wife of the idea.‎ B. He was better to handle the relation of the family, career and friendship.‎ A. Spending time with his mother had taught him the importance of slowing down.‎ B. All of the above.‎ ‎35. What did the response suggest when the author asked his mother to go out for dinner?‎ A. She was not willing to do that.‎ B. She was afraid of that.‎ C. She was not ready for dinner.‎ D. She didn’t expect that.‎ 第一节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ E A laugh track, sometimes called canned laughter, is a collection of pre-recorded audience laughter and applause sounds added to television programs during post-production. The main purpose of the track is to trigger(激发) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humor when watching a taped sitcom (situation comedy). __36__ Therefore, canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.‎ ‎ __37__ The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after the show’s taping. Until that time, other radio and television comedies used a live studio audience or no canned laughter at all. In 1953, a sound engineer named Charley Douglass invented the Laff Box, a small electronic device(装置) containing numerous sounds of recorded laughter and applause. It is said that Charley Douglass selected almost all of his laugh track material from in-studio recordings of several different comedy shows. __38__‎ ‎ During the 1970s, many sitcoms chose to get rid of the practice altogether or mix live audience reactions with the canned laughter. Filming a show in front of a live audience became a symbol of honor. __39__ Live audiences did not always provide a usable response especially after a long day of retakes.‎ ‎ Today, the same company created by Charley Douglass offers an improved digital version of the original Laff Box. __40__ Most sitcoms produced today are still recorded in front of a live audience, but a more subtle（巧妙的）laugh track can be used to improve weak responses.‎ A. However, there was a problem.‎ B. The belief is that laughter creates laughter.‎ C. The first known use of a recorded laugh track is said to be in 1950.‎ D. The effective use of canned laughter is considered more of an art than a science.‎ E. Douglass recorded different styles of laughter and applause without the sound of dialogue.‎ F. If this is true, audience reactions in modern sitcoms may have actually been recorded several years ago.‎ G. In addition to the original laughter and applause, there are tracks for foreign audiences and children’s shows.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用 （共三节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ We all often deal with people who complain about the failures and troubles of their daily lives.
