试题分析：在狂风暴雨来袭时，竹子应对自如，柔韧有余，弯而不折，代表了生命的弹性和韧性。在本文中作者通过看到竹子在大风中的表现，联想到人也应该像竹子一样不要因一时的困境，一时的打击而一蹶不振，要像竹子一样有着生命的弹性，要弯而不折。
小题1: A动词辨析。A.流动；B. 奔跑；C.去；D. 来。根据上文可知作者坐在河边，所以看到河水的流淌，故A选项正确。
小题2:C动词辨析。A.打破； B.移动；C. 弯腰；D.颤抖。根据下文under pressure from the wind可知竹子在风的吹拂下会弯曲，所以答案选C。
小题3:A动词辨析。A.回到，归还 ；B. 保留；C. 给；D.飞。由常识可知大风刮过去之后，一切都会恢复原样，竹子也会重新直立起身，恢复到最初的位置，故答案选A。
小题4:C动词短语辨析。A. 死于；B. 死光；C. 渐息；D. 接连死去。根据语境可知此处指的是在风逐渐平息之后，故C选项正确
小题5:B名词辨析。A. 权力； B. 能力；C. 能量；D. 力量。Power强调权利，ability指人们做事的能力； energy强调人的精力；strength指的是体力，力气。由情境可知此处指竹子能重新恢复原样的能力，而且下文this word means the ability to也是重要提示，所以判断B选项正确。
小题6:D动词辨析。A敲击； B.去；C. 出现；D.来。固定短语：come to one’s mind“进入脑海，想起某事”，由上下文可知作者看到这种情景从而产生了一些想法，所以答案选D。
小题7:A动词辨析。A. 恢复； B. 使平静；C.使舒服；D. 下沉。从上文的讲述可知作者从竹子在大风刮过之后能恢复原来的位置，联想到了人从打击中恢复的能力，所以A为正确选项。
小题8:C形容词辨析。A.高B.低C. 折的，；D. 回到的。breaking point“（问题难以遏制的）顶点，极限。”根据上下文可知此处指的是人处于生活低谷时，一切压力苦难看似不能承受时，所以B选项正确。
小题9:A副词辨析。A. 感谢地 ；B. 希望地；C. 惊讶地；D. 快乐地。根据下文you have survived the experience可知人能走出低谷，从打击中恢复是值得庆幸的，所以答案选A。
小题10:B形容词辨析。A. 放松的；B. 糟糕的；C. 强壮的 ；D. 惊恐的。根据上文you felt emotionally(情感上的) tired, mentally exhausted and可以判断此处填表示不好处境的词，根据词义可知B选项正确。
小题11:B名词辨析。A. 课；B.混合物；C. 连接；D. 舞台。由情理可知生活中充满了起起伏伏，有时得意也有时失意，a mixture of“…..混合物”，所以判断B选项正确，。
小题12:C形容词辨析。A. 远离；B. 远；C. 靠近；D. 快。作者在上文提到风把竹子刮到几乎要折断的地步，由此可知此处指的是逆境几乎让人不能承受时，达到极致的时候，所以判断A选项正确。

举一反三
Just like other countries in Europe, it is one of the customs in Iceland to shake hands and say “Hello”. Kissing each other’s cheeks is acceptable along with wishing each other a happy day.
Another custom is to take off your shoes in the hallway(走廊) when you enter someone’s home. Also, don’t be surprised if someone invites you to their house, since Icelanders love to have guests. Just make sure you take flowers or a similar token of thanks to give them.
If you have been invited to eat, keep in mind that you don’t need to express thanks before meals like the French or the Japanese. Rather, eat heartily and then thank your host afterwards by shaking his hand.
Keep in mind that believing in mysterious beings is part of the tradition in Iceland. Indeed, most of the unique and sometimes strange rock formations in Iceland are due to elves(小精灵), according to the people of Iceland.
Are you planning to spend Christmas in Iceland? If so, make sure you practice saying “Gleileg jol got tog fars!” first, which is the local Christmas greeting. It is part of the tradition in Iceland to have long Christmas holidays—26 days—longer than in any other European country. There are 13 Santa Clauses in Iceland, too!
There may not be a law requiring you to follow the customs, but there is no harm in doing so. Following them, you might be rewarded with a rich cultural experience and a more meaningful trip.

Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, “Let’s get out of here. This man is a risk to your health. ” As she helped me struggle to the door, the doctor came near us. “Stay back,” demanded my wife. “Stay away from us.”
As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us “Keep going,” said my wife, pushing the intravenous（静脉注射的）stand. “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor. “Don’t come any closer to us.”
The two of us moved as one. We escaped to the safety and hoped of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.

Throughout the years of changing , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while some type of part-time job. Leaving a career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a to rearrange furniture, make curtains and pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my heroine.

The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.
That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.
When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldn’t settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?
He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:
I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it’s up to you. I’ll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it’s there, I’ll come in; if not, I’ll wave good-bye and go.
And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.
His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________
The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.

| A．Every inch of the house was covered in white. Sheets, pillowcases and table clothes had been placed on every window and door, making it look like a snow house. |

An increase in homelessness is probably the worst result of a nation’s financial disaster. About 3 million Americans were homeless because of a lack of affordable housing. Experts suggest that a family should spend no more than 30 percent of its income on housing. In fact, in some families housing costs make up 50 percent or more. An unexpected event, such as losing work or illness, can quickly push a family into homelessness.
An article in Time magazine tells a story of one such family. A young couple and their three children rented a two-bedroom apartment for about $350 a month. They could hardly go on with the husband’s $920-a-month take-home pay; so when their rent was raised to $500 a month, they could no longer make ends meet.
Another woman was found dead on a street in Washington D.C., the capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
People become homeless for different reasons. Some may not be able to pay for housing, because they have lost their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental diseases, or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, many of whom do not live with their family. And what’s more, there are not enough centers for shelter as the government doesn’t pay enough attention to this social problem.
People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economical problem as well as a social problem.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________ in the US.
| A．ways of solving economic problems |
| B．homeless people being taken good care of |
| C．different reasons for economic recession |
| D．economic recession leading to social problems |
| A．presenting specific figures | B．giving examples |
| C．explaining in details | D．discussing different opinions |
| A．an increase of living costs | B．more and more deaths |
| C．an increase of homeless people | D．less centers for poor people |
| A．2. | B．3. | C．4. | D．5. |
