Tuesday， Jan. 6， 9：50 p.m.

We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on， and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started， and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.

Wednesday， Jan. 7， 7：30 a.m.

My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly， the power (電力供應) didn’t come back. After I looked out of the window， I felt even sadder： it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back， so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.

Thursday， Jan. 8， 12：30 p.m.

The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持續(xù)) and we had nothing to do but stay at home.

Friday， Jan. 9， 6：00 p.m.

Still no power. Even though we lit (點燃) a few candles， it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles， but I had trouble reading.

Saturday， Jan. 10， 1：00 p.m.

The storm stopped this morning， and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things： bread， some fruit， more drinking water and batteries (電池) for the flashlight. On my way home， the power came back and people were very happy.

1.How did the writer feel when he found it was still raining heavily?

A. Angry. B. Sad. C. Scared. D. Shocked.

2.Why did the writer say it was hard to do anything during the storm?

A. It was too cold in the room.

B. The flashlight had no batteries.

C. The light kept going on and off.

D. The light of candles was too weak.

3.What did the writer NOT buy when he drove out?

A. Newspapers. B. Water. C. Batteries. D. Food.

4.How long did the storm last?

A. Two days. B. Three days.

C. Less than two days. D. More than three days.

5.The material is probably from a _______.

A. guidebook B. diary

C. notice D. science magazine

1.B 2.D 3.A 4.D 5.B 【解析】試題分析：短文大意：該文是由五篇日記組成，記敘了從星期二到星期五這五天發(fā)生的事情。 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

閱讀下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳選項。

The Power of Story

When my dog Gracie disappeared six years ago, I really learned what I believe. Gracie escaped from our backyard around 2:00 p.m. We searched the neighborhood for hours but had no ______. We put up advertisements, and by dark, we returned home, exhausted (精疲力竭).

On the second day, I called my animal doctor, the SPCA, and the animal shelter (收容所). Nothing. I felt lost.

If I knew Gracie had been ______, I would have been heartbroken. If I knew she was caught somewhere, I would save her. If I knew she had found a better home, I would be ______ yet relieved (放心的). But how do I deal with the unknown? Wait patiently? Search endlessly? Give up?

The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I told her losing Gracie was like losing faith (信任) in everything. Rhea smiled and said, “You know, maybe Gracie’s on a great adventure.” It seems ______, but I felt better then. Rhea’s words ______ me what, as a writer, I surely have faith in: the power of story.

As one writer said, all we have is stories. It’s what holds our life together. We call stories science, some stories myth (神話), but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round. Such stories only become real when we ______ them. And some stories are never supported with scientific facts, but they still seem to hold true.

For example, ten years earlier, I’d dreamt that I should get a ______, and by that evening, Gracie came into my life. When people would ask what kind of dog she was, I would say Muppet wolf terrier (小獵狗). It was something I ______ because I believed Gracie was half dog, half wolf.

So why not imagine now that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?

The fourth day started with me finding a ______ on the sidewalk, I’d always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was sure Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to.

On Day Five, I was at a friend’s house when her phone rang. I knew immediately it was news about Gracie. And I was right. When I finally saw her in my hallway, I cried. “My wolf days are ______.” Gracie seemed to say. “I’m back to being a dog”.

Or so is the story I choose to believe.

1.A. luckB. reason C. good D. problem

2.A. keptB. sold C. stolen D. killed

3.A. madB. worried C. sadD. moved

4.A. rightB. strange C. reasonableD. real

5.A. ordered B. warned C. reminded D. suggested

6.A. hear B. know C. believeD. read

7.A. dog B. prizeC. story D. house

8.A. looked up B. built up C. set up D. made up

9.A. card B. coin C. phoneD. book

10.A. lasting B. exciting C. short D. over
