They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.‎ Challenging the weather that threatened to damp our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado(龙卷风)was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet.‎ ‎ The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My moan stopped next to the front door. "Where can we go?" She shouted at my dad.‎ Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn't offer safety from high wind.‎ ‎"Follow me!" my dad yelled. We crawled(爬)beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror. ‎ My dad shouted. "Hold on!" and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying.

An aneurysm is a bulge(膨胀)in a blood vessel that can burst. If that happens in the brain, it can be deadly. For survivors, physical disabilities are often severe. They may include memory problems, loss of balance, trouble speaking and even blindness. But new technologies are increasing survival rates and reducing disabilities.‎ Beaumont Bacon is a survivor who makes light of her experience because she is a comedian(‎ 喜剧演员). She uses humor to make others laugh. Now she's working on a new show. Michael Alexander is her doctor. He operated on Beaumont Bacon after her attack. "She had bleeding in the frontal area of her brain, so right above the eyes. The part that was in the brain was about maybe the size of an egg. So, that's a fairly large bleed."‎ Ms. Bacon had a better chance at survival than most people because of Dr. Alexander. He directs the Neurovascular Center in Los Angeles. The center offers new technologies that include placing a catheter(导管)into an aneurysm, then threading wires to promote blood clots(血检). This technique reduces the chances of another burst blood vessel. "You don't have to open up the skull(头盖骨)or open up the brain to do surgery. It's all done from inside the blood vessels. So it reduces the amount of blood loss, and the recovery is much faster."‎ For Beaumont Bacon's recovery, the hospital worked to prevent problems commonly found in patients with a burst aneurysm. The problems include brain swelling that can shut down blood vessels. She spent a month in a coma(昏迷)-unable to communicate with doctors, friends and loved ones. But with a year of treatment, she recovered. Now, she is making people laugh.‎ ‎32. What do you know about aneurysms?‎ A. No technologies can treat them nowadays. B.

It can be known from the passage that Beaumont Bacon .‎ A. was always in an unconscious state after the operation B. recovered soon after the treatment C. returned to work after the treatment D. was the first to try the new technology ‎35. The author shows the effect of the technology by .‎ A. providing an example B. making comparisons C. offering data D. giving explanations 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Create Better Phone Habits If you find yourself constantly checking your cell phone, you may have a problem with overuse of cell phone.
