A
Our first year in New York we rented a small apartment with a Catholic school nearby，taught by
the Sisters of Charity，handsome women in long black gowns and hats.I liked them a lot，especially
my grandmotherly fourth grade teacher，Sister Zoe.I had a lovely name，she said，and she had me
teach the whole class how to pronounce it：Yo-lan-da.As the only immigrant in my class，I was put
in a special seat in the first row by the window，apart from the other children so that Sister Zoe could
tutor me without disturbing them.Slowly，she pronounced the new words I was to
repeat：laundromat，cornflakes，subway，snow.
Soon I picked up enough English to understand horrible wars were in the air.Russian missiles
were being collected and brought together，trained supposedly on New York City.On the
television，President Kennedy，looking worried，was explaining we might have to go to war
against the enemies.At school，we had air-raid drills：a worrying bell would go off and we’d move
into the hall，fall to the floor，cover our heads with our coats，and imagine our hair falling out，the
bones in our arms going soft.At home，Mami and my sisters and I prayed for world peace.In class I
heard new vocabulary：nuclear bomb，radioactive fallout，bomb shelter.Sister Zoe explained how
it would happen.She drew on the blackboard a picture of a mushroom and a cloud of dusty fallout that
would kill us all.
The months grew cold，November，December.It was dark when I got up in the morning，and
frosty when I followed my breath to school.One morning as I sat at my desk daydreaming，out the
window，I saw dots in the air like the ones Sister Zoe had drawn—random at first，then lots and
lots.I screamed，“Bomb！Bomb！” Sister Zoe moved around，her full black skirt ballooning out
as she hurried to my side.A few girls began to cry.
But then Sister Zoe’s shocked look faded.“Why，Yolanda dear，that’s snow！” she
laughed.“Snow.”“Snow，” I repeated.I looked out the window cautiously.All my life I had heard
about the white snow that fell out of American skies in the winter.From my desk I watched the fine
powder dust the sidewalk and parked cars below.“Each flake(雪花) was different，”Sister Zoe had
said，“like a person，irreplaceable and beautiful.” 语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为移民孩子，作者在学校总会得到Zoe老师的特别关照，在一次下雪的时候，作者将雪误认为是炸弹，但Zoe老师告诉她说那是雪花，人如同这雪花一样，都是不可取代且美丽的。
1．According to Paragraph 1，which of the following words can best describe Sister Zoe?
A．Devoted. B．Faithful.
C．Ambitious. D．Considerate.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句可推断出，Zoe是一位考虑周到的老师。considerate意为“体贴的，考虑周到的”，符合题意。故选D。
2．Why did the writer scream suddenly on that December morning?
A．Because she heard bombs exploding.
B．Because she mistakenly caused a panic.
C．Because she thought bombs were coming.
D．Because she got excited about the snowfall.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可推断出，作者在那个12月的一个早上突然尖叫的原因是她认为炸弹就要落下来了。故选C。
3．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．Snow
B．Bomb
C．New York Life
D．Sister Zoe’s Experience
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。根据最后一段最后一句及全文内容可知，Zoe告诉作者，人同雪花一样，美丽而又无可取代；此处用雪来比喻人，符合题意。故选A。
B
(2018·吉林长春质检)
Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune
system.However，many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night.The average adult today gets
only 6.4 hours of sleep.Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness
of sleep deprivation in the working population.A significant number of people work at night，work
long hours，or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.
Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of
electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function
normally.In one study，thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep
patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours.During the experiment，the subjects were asked to perform several tasks，such as mathematics and word
problems，while undergoing scans of their brain activity.The researchers found that the temporal
lobe(颞叶) of the brain，the region involved in language processing，was active during speech tasks
in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep.After several hours without
sleep，there was no activity within this region.
Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory
and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident.In one study of drivers，researchers
reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk.They found that people who drove
