Looking up at the golden red sun ball, she was surprised by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.‎ The atmosphere relaxed her. This was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow(平房)163, where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters, she would have been safe in her house。‎ ‎ It was really getting dark now. She wished she had her favorite coat on. It might keep her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought dissipated(消散) when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now… ‎ ‎      She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen and saw a note written by her father, “Dear Ellen, there’s some coffee ready; I went looking.” But where was Ellen? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in and saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so ‎ tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up, but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up something was different. She wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas(睡衣).      It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice. “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.” 21.The author mentions the views of the beach in Para. 1 in order to __________. A. tell us the time of the story B. show Jennifer’s eased mind C. show Jennifer’s loneliness D. indicate the beauty of nature 22.Jennifer decided to go home because __________.

Jennifer went home to fetch her favorite coat. B. Jennifer’s father was so worried that he couldn’t take care of the outside garden. C. Jennifer understood why the outside garden was left uncared for. D. Jennifer’s father used to be too strict with her. 24.Which of the following shows the change of Jennifer’s feeling? A. Relaxed → Lonely → Tired → Upset. B. Angry →Relaxed →Fearful → Comfortable. C. Fearful →Relaxed →Cheerful →Lonely. D.

But the great thing is, no matter how a poem is written it still holds great emotion. Some common techniques are used in poetry.‎ ‎    Onomatopoeia(拟声) is one of the easiest ways to learn and use. The definition of onomatopoeia is a word copying a sound. For example, “buzz”, “moo” and “beep”. This can be used in a variety of ways, giving the reader a “hands on” feel.‎ ‎    One technique that you might be familiar with is alliteration(头韵). This procedure is used by starting three or more words with the same sound An example of this would be “The crazy crackling crops”. The three words don’t have to have the exact same beginning to have this effect.‎ ‎    The next style is assonance(谐音). It is defined as a repetition of vowel sounds within syllables with changing consonants. This is also used in many different situations. One would be “tilting at windmills”. Notice the vowels within each syllable that sound the same.‎ ‎    Rhyming is probably the most well-known technique used. However, unlike popular belief, it does not need to be within a poem to make it a poem.‎ ‎    As for similes(明喻),they are often used within poetry. They are an expression that compares one thing to another. A paradigm of this would be “The milk tasted ‎ like pickles”. This method is used in all forms of poetry and generally has the words “like” or “as”.‎ ‎    The last but not least style is metaphor(隐喻). A metaphor is a word or phrase used one way to mean another. Metaphors are sometimes hard to find and it takes some thinking to figure out, but they give writers more power to express their thoughts about a certain situation. In fact, not only is it found within the story, the story itself is a metaphor of memory and the constant reminder of the narrator's loss.‎ ‎    To have a full grasp of poetry, onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, rhyming, simile and metaphor should be household words.‎ 28. To write a poem, you ________. A. needn't start with three exact same sound words. ‎ A. should pay more attention to vowels and consonants. C. have to use the words such as “like” and “as”. ‎ D. should use one word to refer to another meaning. 29. According to the text, the use of onomatopoeia makes ______. A. poems sound more like a poem. B. readers experience a lifelike feeling. C. the writer expresses himself in a free way. D. readers have difficulty understanding a poem. 30. Which of the following means “a word or phrase used one way to mean another”? A. Alliteration. B. Rhyming. C. Metaphor. D. Assonance. 31. The underlined words “household words” may refer to words that ________. A. describe the life of people at home. B. are used by family members. C. are connected with a home. D. are very well-known.‎ D ‎    When her five daughters were young, Helene Ann always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew ‎ up.     Helene and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.     Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”     Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ann.’s working together. Now the Ann’s corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.‎ 32. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show _____. A. the strength of family unity. B. the difficulty of growing up. C. the advantage of chopsticks. D. the best way of giving a lesson. 33.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the Ann’s family _____. A. started a business in 1975. B. left Vietnam without much money. C. bought a restaurant in San Francisco. D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles. 34‎ ‎.What can we infer about the Ann’s daughters? A. They did not finish their college education. ‎ B. They could not bear to work in the family business. C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them. ‎ D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Run a Corporation. B. Strength Comes from Peace. C. How to Achieve a Big Dream. D. Family Unity Builds Success.‎ E 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。‎ ‎    Millions of people all over the world use the word OK.
