分析 本文通过一个中国的传说的故事说明中国情人节的来历.

解答 51.youngest 根据句意:玉皇大帝最小的女儿,所以用最高级youngest.
52.fell 考查固定搭配.fall in love with sb是英语的固定搭配"爱上某人".
53.to 考查固定搭配.get married to 是英语的固定搭配"与某人结婚".
54.until 考查连词.根据句意:他们幸福地生活了好几年,直到天上的皇后知道了一切.until了"直到".
55.what考查宾语从句.宾语从句中Weaving Maid had done缺少宾语,所以用what来引导.
56.permission考查名词.没有她的允许,permission是名词"允许".
57.to see 考查固定搭配.be allowed to do sth 是英语的固定搭配"被允许做某事".
58.Moved 考查非谓语.move的逻辑主语是the birds,鸟儿们被感动了,所以用过去分词在句中做状语.
59.a 考查冠词.搭了一座桥,这里是泛指,所以用不定冠词a.
60.which 考查定语从句.这是一个非限制性定语从句,所以用关系代词which来引导.

8.Rod Kalin learned the secret to success while he was young.As a child,he liked playing with a stuffed (填充)rabbit his mother had made."At that time,I knew he would become a craftsman (工匠) in the future,"Kalin's mother said.
Kalin's father was a carpenter and taught him early how to use his hands.In high school,Kalin was so interested in photography that he cut class to take photos 18 hours a day.Eventually Kalin ended up at New York University.One night,his landlord asked him to build a website for his restaurant."I didn't know anything about websites,but I built the basic site by looking through books in four weeks,"Kalin recalls.
After working on a craft site that provided"advice and a lot of hand-holding",Kalin recognized that there was no market for their goods.He wrote a fan letter to Stewart Butterfield,the founder of Flickr,who had sold his highly popular photo-sharing website to Yahoo!Impressed by Kalin's letter,he took a look at Kalin's idea and invited him to San Francisco for a month in 2006.He taught Kalin how to build a website,and helped him borrow $615,000 from a bank.
With the help of Stewart,Kalin was able to create etsy.com,an online craft fair that may be the largest market for hand made goods in the world.Last year,350,000 woodworkers and other craftsmen sold their one-of-a-kind goods on the four-year-old site.It sells everything from hand-knitted T-shirts to wooden electric guitars.In an age of chain stores and malls,it seems there's still a big market for the unique:custom-made skirts and hand-painted tea sets.Today,Etsy's staff has increased to 70 employees,and more than three million consumers in 150 countries are buying goods on Etsy every year.

7.A record warm December raised average temperatures enough to make 2015 the second hottest year on record in the contiguous United States,according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climate Monitoring Annual Report,which was released Thursday.
The United Nations had previously reported that 2015 was shaping up to be the warmest year on record for the whole planet.
Last year was also the third wettest on record in the U.S.and saw ten weather-or climate-related disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage in the U.S.and killed a total of 155 people.These include a drought,two floods,five severe storms,a wildfire,and a winter storm.
The average U.S.temperature was 54.4°F,2.4°F above the 20th century average,and second only to 2012's record warmth.This was also the 19th consecutive year with average temperatures above the average for the century.Every state reported above-average annual temperatures.The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December,when many places saw temperatures 30 degrees above normal and many records were set.
This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month,when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above normal.Part of this warming was driven by a strong El Ni?o,or periodic warming in the Pacific Ocean,but some of it can also be attributed to global warming,says meteorologist Eric Holthaus,who was not involved with the federal report.
The analysis comes less than a month after the U.S.and 194 other countries signed an agreement in Paris to more aggressively counter the effects of climate change.
"Even if all the initial targets in Paris are met,we'll only be part of the way there when it comes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere,"said President Barack Obama at the time.Still,the agreement represented"a turning point"by setting up"the architecture"for doing so,he said.
NOAA's climate monitoring center doesn't issue predictions for future weather,but the agency's Climate Prediction Center does.That team's forecast for the next three months calls for warmer-than-average temperatures in much of the country,although parts of Texas and the Southeast may be a little cooler than usual.
As Lancaster University Professor Gail Whiteman told the Weather Channel,"climate change means extreme weather is the new normal."

28.What's the meaning of the underlined sentence"climate change means extreme weather is the new normal"?D
A.Extreme weather will not normal due to the climate change.
B.Climate change will result in the unpredictable weather.
C.Climate change will be more and more common except for the extreme weather.
D.Extreme weather will be kind of tendency in the future.
29.Which of the following statement is true?D
A.The target of reducing carbon is accomplished.
B.$1 billion loss was caused by the extreme weather.
C.In most areas of US,the temperatures will be warmer than average.
D.2015 was the first warmest and the third wettest on record in the country.
30.What can be inferred from the text?A
A.The reducing of carbon still needs great efforts worldwide.
B.NOAA has nothing to do with the predictions for climate change.
C.The whole US will be warmer in the future due to the global warming.
D.The weather change in the western areas is more obvious than that in the east.
31.We can probably find the text in?B
A.a government report
B.a science magazine
C.an advertisement
D.a newspaper.

9.Christmas is the biggest holiday in the UK,but there's another contender (竞争者) that comes a close second,that is,Easter.
Easter is considered the most important and oldest festival in Christianity.While Christmas Day always (61)falls(fall) on Dec.25,Easter Sunday can happen any time between March 22 (62)andApril 25.This year,the big day will be April 16.
Easter was (63)traditionally(tradition) a religious holiday where Christians would celebrate their
(64)belief(believe) of the resurrection (复活) of Jesus Christ.This still happens,but over the years it (65)has grown(grow) to be defined(界定;给…下定义) by different things.
To many,Easter is a time (66)for relaxation.People usually decorate eggs and enjoy a big meal of roast lamb at home with family.A rabbit (67)carrying(carry) a basket filled with chocolate eggs is a traditional symbol of the holiday.Some families even set up Easter egg hunts (68)wherethey hide eggs in their gardens and get local children to find them.To many young people,Easter no longer has the same traditional,religious meaning.The younger generation,(69)exposed(expose) to the increased commercialism (商业主义) placed on major holidays,is becoming less aware of (70)its(it) meaning and implication(内涵).They just enjoy the day and have fun.
