well prepared a gymnast is, he still needs a lot of luck in performing. A. Whatever B. Although C. No matter D. However 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

July 27st, 2010 was a typical English summer’s day – it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs.

At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community（社区）. We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.

Although our situation was very had, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw but（茅草房）that who swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”

We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas, But I can’t wait-I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts-living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush-we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.

What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean?

A．Wrong B．Missing C．Right D．Difficult

Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph?

A．Because they were able to move to a new place.

B．Because many other places were flooded.

C．Because their straw hut was not swept away.

D．Because some others suffered even more.

It can be inferred from the text that the author .

A．was sick of staying upstairs

B．cared much about her children

C．could not stand living in a wooden house

D．did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood

What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?

A．She valued human feelings more than before.

B．She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.

C．She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.

D．She thought her own home was the most important.

In an effort to undo what she had done, she went to an older, wiser woman in the village, explained her 4 , and asked for advice.

     But of course Billy is much more than a tennis champion.
     He is like an ambassador for the sport and for his country. He has done great work to help children around
the world,and his generosity to children's charity funds is well known.
     And of course, Billy is the most successful graduate of our club. He won the club championships when
he was twelve-yes, at only twelve. And Billy has not forgotten where it all started. That's why he accepted
our invitation to speak to us tonight. We're proud to have played a small part in Billy's success.
     Won't you please give a big hand to our own Billy Rogers?
