題目列表(包括答案和解析)
Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big 36 in Seattle again. But this time, it's not snow, but the wind and rain. I have 37 seen such a strong wind before even though I had 38 the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.
That 39 storm was so powerful that it 40 the whole big Seattle area out of 41 . 700,000 people had no electricity, and 42 13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big 43 this time. They broke down the power line above the ground, 44 the road and streets, and 45 the houses.
As the last storm was still 46 in my mind, I had another personal 47 about this new storm. 48 , this time, it was not good either. I was 49 to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be 50 off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the 51 , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now 52 is changed.
I guess sometimes, the way that the thing 53 is not always what you 54 . And what I can do now is to fit for it. 55 , we got a free hotel room from my husband's cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.

I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.
This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve, I gave her surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.
The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.
47. The underlined word “dementia” in Paragraph 2 probably is ____.
A. an illness B. a letter C. a house D. a plan
48. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?
A. In her old house.
B. In her old neighborhood church.
C. In the nursing home.
D. In the hospital.
49. What was the best gift that the author got on Christmas Eve?
A. Alice’s happiness. B. Praise from Alice’s friends
C. Thanks from Alice’s daughter. D. The candlelight service.
50. What is the best title for this passage?
A.A special candlelight Christmas Eve B. The dream of an old lonely lady
C.A real present D. The true love
