A
Having lived in California until 1970，my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate，however，to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and，luckily，none is shown in the website.So，my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter，I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark．
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake，I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like，“Help me get out of here in time，Dear Heavenly Father”．Minutes later，I was safe outside.

The United States has more tornadoes(龙卷风) than any other country in the world.In a normal year there are 800 to 1，000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet.In the Midwest，the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May.Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening.There is often no warning of a tornado.People who live in the Midwest know the signs of tornado activity.The sky becomes dark，often a greenish color.Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail(冰雹)．Suddenly，there is a loud sound，like a train or a jet plane.Sometimes，two，three，five，ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999.The day was stormy，with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon.As the storms continued，tornadoes began to form.Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma，then in Kansas.Some stayed on the ground for several hours，destroying everything they touched.The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others.They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.In some areas，not one home stood.In other areas，the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street，but didn't touch any homes on the right side.The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth.So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

I grew up in a middleclass household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living，a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew，and as a result，I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday，and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before，and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia，but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain，saving every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart，I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the sight of malnourished children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city，home to thousands of families，many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days，I played with children who，despite living in hard conditions，were overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who，despite having nothing，were some of the kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time，my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community，and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip，I began to see the value of learning from people of other races，cultures and religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one，and experienced firsthand the beauty of human diversity.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生)，”said Michael Zey，a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate(保守的估计)．”
At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years，” he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases，they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120，you know；could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？” said Leonard Poon，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕着“人类寿命能否延长”这一主题，给出了一些科学家和专业人士的正反两种观点。
12．By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”，what does Michael Zey mean?
A．They believe that there is no limit of living.
B．They are sure to find the truth about long living.
C．They have got some ideas about living forever.
D．They are able to make people live past the present life span.
C [推理判断题。根据第二段引述Michael Zey的话“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate”并结合第一段内容可知，他要表达的就是科技发展有望使人们延长寿命，与C选项“他们关于永生有了一些想法”符合文意。故选C项。]
13．What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living?
A．People can live from 120 to 180 years.
B．It is still doubtful how long humans can live.
C．The human body is designed to last past about 120 years.
D．It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.
D [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.”可知，Donald Louria认为相关技术的发展会使人类寿命延长变为可能，与D选项说法相符。故选D项。]
14．What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refers to?
A．A great push.
B．The idea of living from 200 to 300 years.
C．The idea of living beyond the present life span.
D．The conservative estimate.
C [代词指代题。根据第四段画线词所在句“However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.”可知，这里表达的就是很多科学家认为人类的身体根本不能支持活过120年，其实就是对以Donald Louria为代表的认为人类可以突破自身寿命的自然极限的科学家们的这一观点表示怀疑。故选C项。]
15．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Living Longer or Not
B．Science，Technology and Long Living
C．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
D．No Limit for Human Life
A [标题归纳题。文章的结构是比较清晰的，围绕着“人类的寿命延长”这一主题，先抛出一方的观点和见解，再给出反对方的观点和见解，诸如However、doubtful、also differ on这些词语都表现出了文章的结构特点，A选项“能否活得更久”符合文章主题，也明确地对应了行文特点，适合作为标题。故选A项。]

Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is，you'll likely receive wildly different responses.The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 16
Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams.
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them. 17 Every day take an action，no matter how small，to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes.
18 Many of my strongest memories come from the times I've failed，and those lessons have stayed with me.Failure is beneficial to us.And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.
19
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional state.If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover. 20
For me，life is about experiences.We all have to dream，work hard，and fail before we can achieve success.Maybe we'll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.
A．Take care of yourself.
B．Improve your personality.
C．Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D．It's best to rest，recover，and slowly build back up your strength.
E．Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.
F．Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes，it is impossible to avoid them.
G．Though we can't choose the outcome of our actions，we can choose to keep pursuing(追求)．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章针对如何使你的经历更有意义这一问题给出了一些方法。
16．E [根据空后“Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.”可知，这里需要引出全文的主题。然而有一件事情，无论我们去哪里，它都会同我们在一起，那就是我们的经历。故选E。]
17．G [ 根据空前“The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them.”和空后“Every day take an action，no matter how small，to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.”可知，这里意思是尽管我们不能选择我们行为的结果，但是我们可以选择一直追求，故选G。]
18．C [C项“Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.”提到了错误使人成长的问题，由此可知，许多“我”最强烈的记忆都是来自失败，犯错是一个人成长的必经之路。故选C。]
19．A [根据空后“Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale.If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知，压力会耗费精力和体力，这一自然段主要介绍了照顾好自己这一问题。故选A。]
20．D [根据空前“If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知，最好休息一下，然后重建你的力量，故选D。]

The Makeup (化妆) Guy
Dave was a makeup artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local community college.He was wellknown as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually，the majority of his students were middleaged housewives，who wanted to finetune their makeup skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time，it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in makeup artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably，the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread.Why did he learn makeup? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor's youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area，which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man's intentions.
Throughout the lessons，ignoring the curious women around him，the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned，leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end，the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer，for they knew it was time to remove their doubts，otherwise...
Finally，one of them couldn't resist her curiosity，so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in makeup artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century，he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes(糖尿病)and she was no longer able to apply her makeup.Fearing being laughed at，she locked herself in her room，abandoning herself to great grief.She was absolutely beautiful even without makeup.But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without makeup.“Sensing her loneliness in a colorlessworld，I was also at a loss as to what to do.Once informed of this class，I determined to learn makeup without hesitation，hoping to make a difference.”
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. Without a pause，he shared his story.He mastered a wide range of practical skills，allowing him to help her take on a new look.Surely，being enveloped by an atmosphere of love，his beloved wife at present was deeply affected.“I not only want to learn how to apply her makeup，I want her to wear the most beautiful makeup so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced.“It is her smile that touches most my heart，not the makeup.”

A
Having lived in California until 1970，my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate，however，to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and，luckily，none is shown in the website.So，my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter，I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark．
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake，I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like，“Help me get out of here in time，Dear Heavenly Father”．Minutes later，I was safe outside.

The United States has more tornadoes(龙卷风) than any other country in the world.In a normal year there are 800 to 1，000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet.In the Midwest，the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May.Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening.There is often no warning of a tornado.People who live in the Midwest know the signs of tornado activity.The sky becomes dark，often a greenish color.Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail(冰雹)．Suddenly，there is a loud sound，like a train or a jet plane.Sometimes，two，three，five，ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999.The day was stormy，with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon.As the storms continued，tornadoes began to form.Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma，then in Kansas.Some stayed on the ground for several hours，destroying everything they touched.The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others.They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.In some areas，not one home stood.In other areas，the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street，but didn't touch any homes on the right side.The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth.So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

I grew up in a middleclass household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living，a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew，and as a result，I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday，and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before，and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia，but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain，saving every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart，I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the sight of malnourished children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city，home to thousands of families，many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days，I played with children who，despite living in hard conditions，were overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who，despite having nothing，were some of the kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time，my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community，and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip，I began to see the value of learning from people of other races，cultures and religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one，and experienced firsthand the beauty of human diversity.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生)，”said Michael Zey，a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate(保守的估计)．”
At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years，” he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases，they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120，you know；could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？” said Leonard Poon，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕着“人类寿命能否延长”这一主题，给出了一些科学家和专业人士的正反两种观点。
12．By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”，what does Michael Zey mean?
A．They believe that there is no limit of living.
B．They are sure to find the truth about long living.
C．They have got some ideas about living forever.
D．They are able to make people live past the present life span.
C [推理判断题。根据第二段引述Michael Zey的话“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate”并结合第一段内容可知，他要表达的就是科技发展有望使人们延长寿命，与C选项“他们关于永生有了一些想法”符合文意。故选C项。]
13．What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living?
A．People can live from 120 to 180 years.
B．It is still doubtful how long humans can live.
C．The human body is designed to last past about 120 years.
D．It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.
D [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.”可知，Donald Louria认为相关技术的发展会使人类寿命延长变为可能，与D选项说法相符。故选D项。]
14．What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refers to?
A．A great push.
B．The idea of living from 200 to 300 years.
C．The idea of living beyond the present life span.
D．The conservative estimate.
C [代词指代题。根据第四段画线词所在句“However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.”可知，这里表达的就是很多科学家认为人类的身体根本不能支持活过120年，其实就是对以Donald Louria为代表的认为人类可以突破自身寿命的自然极限的科学家们的这一观点表示怀疑。故选C项。]
15．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Living Longer or Not
B．Science，Technology and Long Living
C．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
D．No Limit for Human Life
A [标题归纳题。文章的结构是比较清晰的，围绕着“人类的寿命延长”这一主题，先抛出一方的观点和见解，再给出反对方的观点和见解，诸如However、doubtful、also differ on这些词语都表现出了文章的结构特点，A选项“能否活得更久”符合文章主题，也明确地对应了行文特点，适合作为标题。故选A项。]

Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is，you'll likely receive wildly different responses.The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 16
Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams.
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them. 17 Every day take an action，no matter how small，to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes.
18 Many of my strongest memories come from the times I've failed，and those lessons have stayed with me.Failure is beneficial to us.And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.
19
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional state.If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover. 20
For me，life is about experiences.We all have to dream，work hard，and fail before we can achieve success.Maybe we'll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.
A．Take care of yourself.
B．Improve your personality.
C．Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D．It's best to rest，recover，and slowly build back up your strength.
E．Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.
F．Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes，it is impossible to avoid them.
G．Though we can't choose the outcome of our actions，we can choose to keep pursuing(追求)．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章针对如何使你的经历更有意义这一问题给出了一些方法。
16．E [根据空后“Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.”可知，这里需要引出全文的主题。然而有一件事情，无论我们去哪里，它都会同我们在一起，那就是我们的经历。故选E。]
17．G [ 根据空前“The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them.”和空后“Every day take an action，no matter how small，to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.”可知，这里意思是尽管我们不能选择我们行为的结果，但是我们可以选择一直追求，故选G。]
18．C [C项“Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.”提到了错误使人成长的问题，由此可知，许多“我”最强烈的记忆都是来自失败，犯错是一个人成长的必经之路。故选C。]
19．A [根据空后“Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale.If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知，压力会耗费精力和体力，这一自然段主要介绍了照顾好自己这一问题。故选A。]
20．D [根据空前“If you're under stress，your body and mind both require time to recover.”可知，最好休息一下，然后重建你的力量，故选D。]

The Makeup (化妆) Guy
Dave was a makeup artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local community college.He was wellknown as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually，the majority of his students were middleaged housewives，who wanted to finetune their makeup skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time，it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in makeup artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably，the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread.Why did he learn makeup? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor's youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area，which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man's intentions.
Throughout the lessons，ignoring the curious women around him，the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned，leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end，the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer，for they knew it was time to remove their doubts，otherwise...
Finally，one of them couldn't resist her curiosity，so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in makeup artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century，he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
