题目内容
12.Our first year in New York we rented a small apartment with a Catholic school nearby,taught by Sisters Charity,handsome women in long black gowns and hats.I liked them a lot,especially my grandmotherly fourth grade teacher,Sister Zoe.I had a lovely name,she said,and she had me teach the whole class how to pronounce it.Yo-lan-da.As the only immigrant in my class,I was put in a special seat in the first row by the window,apart from the other children so that Sister Zoe could tutor me without disturbing them.Slowly,she pronounced the new words I was to repeat:laundromat,cornflakes,subway,snow.Soon I picked up enough English to understand horrible wars were in the air.Russian missiles were being collected and brought together,trained supposedly on New York City.On the television,President Kennedy,looking worried,was explaining we might have to go to war against the enemies.At school,we had air-raid drills:a worrying bell would go off and we'd move into the hall,fall to the floor,cover our heads with our coats,and imagine our hair falling out,the bones in our arms going soft.At home,Mami and my sisters and I prayed for world peace.In class I heard new vocabulary:nuclear bomb,radioactive fallout,bomb shelter.Sister Zoe explained how it would happen.She drew on the blackboard a picture of a mushroom and a cloud of dusty fallout that would kill us all.
The months grew cold,November,December.It was dark when I got up in the morning,and frosty when I followed my breath to school.One morning as I sat at my desk daydreaming,out the window,I saw dots in the air like the ones Sister Zoe had drawn-random at first,then lots and lots.I screamed,"Bomb!Bomb!"Sister Zoe moved around,her full black skirt ballooning as she hurried to my side.A few girls began to cry.
But then Sister Zoe's shocked look faded."Why,Yolanda dear,that's snow!"She laughed."Snow.""Snow,"I repeated.I looked out the window cautiously.All my life I had heard about the white snow that fell out of American skies in the winter.From my desk I watched the fine powder dust the sidewalk and parked cars below.Each flake(雪花) was different,Sister Zoe had said,like a person,irreplaceable and beautiful.

解答 24-27 DDCA
24.D.推理判断题.根据"I was put in a special seat in the first row by the window,apart from the other children so that Sister Zoe could tutor me without disturbing them."可知Sister Zoe老师是一个考虑周到的人.故选D.
25.D.推理判断题.根据"At school,we had air-raid drills:a worrying bell would go off and we'd move into the hall,fall to the floor,cover our heads with our coats,and imagine our hair falling out,the bones in our arms going soft.At home,Mami and my sisters and I prayed for world peace.In class I heard new vocabulary:nuclear bomb,radioactive fallout,bomb shelter.".可知在第二段作者是通过描述一些在学校和家里发生的事情来告诉我们可怕的战争要来啦.故选D.
26.C.细节理解题.根据"One morning as I sat at my desk daydreaming,out the window,I saw dots in the air like the ones Sister Zoe had drawn-random at first,then lots and lots.I screamed,"Bomb!Bomb!"可知作者在那个十二月的早晨突然尖叫是因为她觉得炸弹要来了.故选C.
27.A.主旨大意题.根据"Each flake(雪花) was different,Sister Zoe had said,like a person,irreplaceable and beautiful"并联系上下文可知Snow是这篇文章最好的题目.故选A.

The scientist's knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions (46)B.What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different,any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be (47)J by the change in the conditions.
This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein,who(48)E the theory of relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The(49)H of his mathematics was later tested through investigation.Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
