【題目】Inside the Rain Room

The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.

The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!

【答案】

【1】A

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】本文介紹了Rain Room，目的是吸引參觀者。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二自然段的最后一句話It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!以及表格可知，作者通過介紹Rain Room是來吸引參觀者。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句話With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that.可以知道，這個(gè)跟蹤系統(tǒng)可以感知參觀者的移動(dòng)，并且在參觀者停留的地方停住雨，也就是讓參觀者避免淋雨。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格第一點(diǎn)可知，不能帶雨衣，所以A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)表格第二點(diǎn)可知，不能穿暗色衣服，所以B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)表格第三點(diǎn)可知，拍照是允許的，所以C錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)表格第五點(diǎn)可知，參觀時(shí)間不超過10分鐘，所以D對(duì)了。

【題目】Depression is a very serious condition that can be caused from broken hearts.You have to develop the right mindset(思維模式) to overcome it.【1】

Reflect on your feelings and don't hide them. If you’re emotionally hurt, don’t hide these feelings. Don’t pretend to feel something or avoid what you’re going through. This is the process needed when you’ve suffered from a broken heart. 【2】 Instead, you need to build yourself back up. You'll have to go through the tough part first. Once you've let it out , then you can take the next step to recover from your broken heart.

Forgive if you’re angry. 【3】 That is life. Take something positive out of the situation and hold onto that .You have to accept what has happened, then take the approach of forgiving and accepting.

【4】 Never ignore a good friend or family support. Going through a broken heart should bring you closer to those around you. If you’ve been in a bad relationship, it should let you appreciate the ones who are still there for you. 【5】 If you start to be shut off with others, it develops more bitterness, loneliness, along with possible depression. So reach out to people and don’t use past experiences to affect how you treat them in a negative matter.

【題目】Weather experts said this year could be one of the strongest EL Nino events in recorded history. El Nino means severe weather conditions in parts of the world. In eastern Africa, for example, Kenya and Uganda are preparing for possible flooding. Yet South Africa and Malawi are already dealing with extremely dry weather.

El Nino is Spanish for “the child”. It usually begins in December, near the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, the weather event was named in his honor. El Nino develops when winds off the west coast of South America weaken. This permits warm water in the western Pacific to expand toward the east and the Americas. At the same time, clouds and rain over the warm water move east, too. El Nio conditions normally appear only about twice every 10 years. Usually, El Nino conditions continue for about 12 to 18 months. They bring warm weather to some areas. These areas become wetter than normal, while others become drier.

The United Nations Children’s Fund warns that many people are at risk from hunger, disease and water shortages resulting from El Nino. In the east and southern Africa up to 11 million children could be affected. East African countries usually experience heavy rainfall during the El Nino. Southern Africa usually has little rainfall which may lead to wildfires or drought(干旱).

Weather changes caused by El Nino depend on the strength of the condition. In the early 1980s, strong El Nino was linked to dry weather in Australia and Asia, rain and flooding in South America and high temperatures in many parts of the U.S. The years later, smaller El Nino caused trouble in parts of the U.S. It caused severe floods in the Southeast and the Middle West. Tom Di Leberto is a meteorologist(氣象學(xué)家) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington, D.C. He said this year could be the third strongest El Nino on record. But we will not know for sure until all the weather records are examined.

【1】The author writes the text to tell us_________.

A. many countries are preparing for the coming floods

B. Africa will probably suffer a lot form this year’s El Nino

C. this year could be one of the strongest El Nino on record

D. 11 million children could be affected by this year’s El Nino

【2】The second paragraph is mainly about ____________.

A. what El Nino actually means

B. how El Nino comes into being

C. when El Nino will occur next time

D. why El Nino causes weather changes

【3】Which of the following countries often suffers from flooding caused by El Nino?

A. Kenya B. Malawi

C. Australia D. South Africa

【4】The author mentioned the 1980s’ El Nino and the 1990s’ El Nino to ______ .

A. explain why so many countries were affected by El Nino

B. prove weather changes caused by El Nino depend on its strength

C. argue that El Nino conditions usually appear about twice every 10 years

D. show scientists doubt whether this year will have the strongest El Nino
