Surviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______.
A. some friends had lost their lives.
B. her neighborhood was destroyed.
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn.
D. the elderly were free from suffering.
5. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise building.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
6. How did Natalie help the survivors
A. She gave her toys to the kids.
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.
D. She built an information sharing platform.
7. What does the story intend to tell us
A. Little people can make a big difference.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or West, home is best.
D. Technology is power.
C
Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things, do chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not and about what they're allowed to do.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
8. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers
A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first.
C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them.
9. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow
A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit.
C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five.
10. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day.
11. What's the best title for the text
A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems
C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.
B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.
D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.
13. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is.
C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
14. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.
A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
15. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______.
A. some friends had lost their lives.
B. her neighborhood was destroyed.
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn.
D. the elderly were free from suffering.
5. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise building.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
6. How did Natalie help the survivors
A. She gave her toys to the kids.
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.
D. She built an information sharing platform.
7 What does the story intend to tell us
A. Little people can make a big difference.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or West, home is best.
D. Technology is power.

考点：人物故事类短文阅读。
【名师点睛】故事类文章是高考阅读理解常选材料之一。这类文章常通过叙述突出人物性格特征或讲述个人经历与感悟，以及逸闻趣事。文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。
解题技巧：
1、高考选用的此类文章常常为幽默类或情感类故事，其目的或阐明某种观点，或抨击某种陋习，或赞扬某种品德，所以要关注作者表达的个人感悟，提出的个人意见，或故事中出其不意的变化，而这些往往体现文章中心或写作意图，属于必考点。如本题中的第62题：通过Natalie帮助他人的行为告诉读者小人物也可以有大作为这一道理。
2、该类文章语言流畅、有趣，命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。这类文章同学们常有文章易懂，题目不易做的感觉。要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。切不可在个别难懂的词句上停留太久，耽误时间。
3、对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。
C
Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things, do chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not and about what they're allowed to do.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
8 What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers
A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first.
C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them.
9. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow
A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit.
C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five.
10. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day.
11. What's the best title for the text
A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems
C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me” (在我们考虑青少年的规则界限之前，我们需要确保我们有一个非常好的关系基础。说“从现在开始，你必须听我的”是没有意义的)”可知，家长与孩子后期建立规则界限的关键是跟孩子有良好的关系基石。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. (你为青少年制定的规则越详细，他们就越有可能遵守这些规则。)”可知 D选项“5点前完成作业。”规则最详细，故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后“This is not the right time to be dealing with it. Were ally want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. (现在不是处理这件事的时候。我们希望父母和青少年在问题出现之前坐下来想想家里可能发生的事情。)”可推断上文意思是我们经常在匆忙中处理冲突，所以画线词意思是“匆忙地”，和In a hurry的意思最为接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in. (青少年和父母之间发生冲突的原因有很多。有时候青少年和父母之间会发生冲突，因为人类之间总是会发生冲突。人类有不同的需求，不同的感受，对自己想要的东西有不同的看法，与人的关系真的很困难。然而，由于正在发生的荷尔蒙变化和他们所处的人生阶段，青少年可能会引发进一步的冲突。)”可知文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。故选C。
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
12. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.
B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.
D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.
13. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
D There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
14. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.
A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
15. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究表明，学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度，让人变得更聪明，而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density(灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变灰质密度。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。)”可知，一项新研究发现学习新语言可以提高脑力，改变大脑的灰质密度，接着“It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(这与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似。)”提到学习新语言提高脑力与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似，结合常识可知，锻炼时会通过各种运动来活动肌肉，让肌肉变得更强大，由此可推测出，提到锻炼是为了更好地说明学习新语言能够有效训练大脑，让头脑变得更灵活。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.(研究还发现，学习第二语言的人越年轻，效果就越大。)”和第四段“Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.(扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度高于没有学第二语言的人。但一个人在掌握一门新语言之前等待的时间越长，差异就越小。)”可推知，学习第二语言会增加灰质密度，而且越早学习，效果就越好，越晚学习，灰质密度的变化就越小。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. ‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.’ he said. ‘You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.’(威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究了双语与数学技能之间的联系。他说：‘拥有两种语言可以给你打开两扇世界之窗，让大脑更加灵活。你实际上超越了语言，对不同的想法有了更好的理解。’)”和最后一段中的“The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. ‘Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,’ explained the scientists.(结果表明，他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。科学家们解释说：‘学习一门语言意味着你可以进入另一个世界。’)”可知，威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究双语与数学技能之间的联系，他认为学习语言可以更好地了解不同的想法；科学家们认为学习语言让人了解另一个世界，而不单单局限于语言方面，而且越早学习，效果就越好。由此可推测出，提早学习第二语言有助于学习其他科目。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段中用问题“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language (你没有注意到，自从你开始学习一门语言以来，你变得更聪明了吗？)”引出学习语言会让人变聪明的话题，接下来具体介绍了一项新研究的发现：学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度（这是大脑中的信息加工区域），而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。由此可推测出，本文主要讲述的是学习新语言有助于提高人的思维能力。故选C。
