10.A young boy recently received an unexpected message in the mail from his father Joseph,who died two years ago.
Rowan's dad was a hardworking man who wanted to give his son the best life he could.It was why Rowan's mother,Julie Van Stone,said Joseph joined the Navy and went to MIT to get two masters degrees.
While at school in Boston,he would often write to Rowan.Even when he left school and was driving back to Colorado,he would send postcards from each state he stopped in.Those postcards were sent in 2007."I remember him saying he had sent 5or 6,and I only got 3or 4in the mail.But I never thought anything of it,"Van Stone said.
Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories for Van Stone and her son,especially after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease.Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye.But,on Saturday,just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph's death,a postcard arrived in the mail.It arrived March 11,2015.The message read:"Hello from Pennsylvania.I love you,and I miss you so much.See you soon.Love,Daddy."
Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened,and they may never know.But,they have their own ideas why."I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn't get to say,"Van Stone said.Van Stone says Joseph's last words to her before he died were:"Everything is a circle.We will see each other again.All that matters is love."

33.What did Rowan's dad do to give his son the best life?B
A.He bought many for Julie.
B.He became a soldier in Navy.
C.He kept writing to his son.
D.He got many masters degrees.
34.How long did it take for the postcard to reach Rowan?D
A.2years.B.5years.C.6years.D.8years.
35.Where did Rowan's dad send the postcard?C
A.In Boston.B.In ColoradoC.In PennsylvaniaD.In New York.

     Several years before,I had taken a comedy class to conquer (克服) my fear of public speaking.Like many other performers,I seemed shy in front of people,but after a show,people said,"Hey,you're amazing onstage."

19.One day,around Christmas time,fishermen off the west coast of Peru started on their traditional fishing trip.Much to their surprise,there were no fish!They knew immediately what had happened.Tales from years gone by had told them this was the result of El Nino which sometimes stop fishing for many months!
El Nino is a warm current that comes and goes along the west coast of South America.It got its name from fishermen in Peru more than a century ago.Every few years,they noticed a sudden warming in the normally cool Pacific water where they fished.Because this warming often came about around Christmas,they called it El Nino,which is Spanish for the"Christ Child".Generally,El Nino occurs every three to seven years and lasts only a few weeks to a month or more.
El Nino warms the water it flows through.Because the fish and sea birds need cold water to live,many of them die when El Nino comes through.El Nino also causes both floods and droughts.It is believed that El Nino may have caused the 1993Mississippi and 1995California floods.And at the same time,it may have caused droughts in South America,Africa and Australia.
El Nino has occurred thirteen times within the last fifty years,bringing natural disasters to many countries such as Indonesia and Peru.However,El Nino does not often trouble China.During this period China was badly hit by El Nino only once.In 1998,North China had a terrible drought,while South China was troubled by floods.

32.The underlined word"current"(in Paragraph 2)most probably refers to"A".
A.water  B.wind C.a(chǎn)tmosphere D.climate
33.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE about El Nino?D
A.It happens in November and December.
B.It was named by some Spanish fishermen.
C.It only happens in South America.
D.It lasts a few weeks or more.
34.If El Nino happens,the following will take place EXCEPTB.
A.rises in temperature of the sea water
B.diseases spreading around the world
C.floods and droughts 
D.death of fish and sea birds
35.The purpose of this passage isC.
A.to discuss the prevention of El Nino 
B.to explain how El Nino trouble farmers
C.to let us know about El Nino 
D.to tell us how to prepare for El Nino.

20.When people want to know about the weather,they usually go to there radios,TVs,newspapers,or to the Internet.However,you can also find many weather signs among wildlife,because of their highly developed senses.Drops in air pressure(壓力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways.Mice and deer are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that,before a storm,field mice come out of their holes and run around,Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example,some birds become irritable(急躁的)and quarrelsome and will fight over a price of bread.Other birds chirp(嘰嘰喳喳)and sing just before a storm.It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour on two.Birds also seek safe places before a storm,You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building.Pre-storm low pressure makes the are so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime,rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn.Watch for other weather signs if you see this.If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature,we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

32.The word"indicators"in paragraph I probably meansC.
A.maps          B.services
C.signs         D.stations
33.There will be a storm if birdsA.
A.make more noise than usual
B.fly in different directions
C.come down from tall trees
D.share a piece of bread
34.How can birds sense the coming of a storm?C
A.By feeling a drop in air temperature.
B.By noticing the change of wind directions.
C.By feeling a drop in air pressure.
D.By noticing the movements of other animals.
35.The best title for the text would beD.
