　　A

　　PAHOA,HAWAII—Hawaii’s Kilauea,one of the most active volcanoes on Earth,has been erupting for more than 30 years.But lava(熔岩) has been rushing toward the town,outside the city of Hilo.

　　It has become a tourist attraction,and visitors gather near a trash transfer station where the lava has destroyed a home.Its roof can be seen in the distance,above the black hardened lava.The lava flow near Pahoa,one of two active holes,is an irregular eruption.For a short period,scientists were trying to forecast that,and every one of those forecasts was wrong because of this start-and-stop feature.There’s almost no way of forecasting more than a day or two in advance.

　　In Honolulu,University of Hawaii researcher Bruce Houghton is analyzing the eruption using high-speed photography.He said that our understanding of volcanoes is improving with input from many scientific disciplines.This photo of the Kilauea lava flow at Pahoa,Hawaii,was taken Jan.22.The lava is now flowing on another,nearby leg.

　　In Pahoa,as the lava approaches within 500 meters of the local highway, some businesses are open,while others have moved to other places.Business owner Constance Rojcewicz is keeping an eye on the flowing lava.“It’s a little bit frightening,”she said.“You want to be ready.I’ll be ready to move out if I need to,in a day or two.”

　　The uncertainty is hard on residents.Scientists have discovered the stress level on families,on interpersonal relationships,on children—that’s the crisis(关键阶段) right now.

　　The lava is bringing long-lasting changes.When the lava flow comes through,its effects remain for hundreds of years.The hardened lava rock remains there for a very long time.But that’s how the islands were built.That’s how the islands grow as a state.The volcano is a part of life on these islands.

　　With any sandwich you buy in the United States you will receive an all too familiar side dish without any explanation.The pickle(泡菜).But why?How did the pickle become such an important part of our deli(熟食店) experience?Where did the pickle come from,and more importantly,why does one always come with your sandwich?

　　Pickles have been around for thousands of years and were considered a type of delicious food as early as 2400 BC.The pickle became popular in the U.S. though when the first Jewish immigrants came to New York from Eastern Europe.Famous for their unique combinations of meat,Jewish delis in the city used the pickle as a palate(味觉) cleanser.The acidity allows you to experience the sharp contrast in flavors and more fully appreciate the taste of your sandwich.The specific deli that was the first to place a pickle alongside a sandwich is unknown,but the practice quickly spread beyond Jewish delis.

　　Across the city of New York,the pickle’s popularity grew and by the 1930s there had been many pickle sellers across the Lower East Side.In fact,there were famous “Pickle Wars” that occurred between the sellers competing for the complete control of trade in the sour sensation.Today the pickle has even been given its own festival in New York that is celebrated in October.

　　Once the pickle became a staple(不可缺少的食物) in New York,the tradition of including the pickle with a deli sandwich grew in appeal and it quickly became a popular choice for an easy-to-prepare side dish across the U.S. In fact,the pickle is now the most commonly used side dish for a sandwich and the combination makes up the majority of all pickle consumption.It has become so standard that restaurants no longer list it on the menu.

　　5.The pickle has been enjoyed by many people in the U.S. since 　. 

　　A.2400 BC

　　B.thousands of years ago

　　C.sandwiches became popular

　　D.the first Jews immigrated to New York

　　6.According to Paragraph 2,the pickle 　. 

　　A.is usually very salty

　　B.is much tastier than meat

　　C.helps clear our sense of taste

　　D.helps enrich the flavor of food

　　7.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

　　A.Pickle sellers in New York.

　　B.The popularity of the pickle.

　　C.The advantage of the pickle.

　　D.Pickle festivals in New York.

　　8.What can we infer from the text?

　　A.There are many kinds of pickles across America.

　　B.The pickle is usually listed on restaurants’ menus.

　　C.Most pickles are used as a side dish for sandwiches.

　　D.Many dishes are accompanied by a variety of pickles.

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human.We might use the word “negative” to describe difficult emotions,but it doesn’t mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn’t have them.Still,most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one.1. 

　　What matters is how our emotions are balanced—how much of each type of emotion,positive or negative,we experience.

　　Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with.For example,fear can make us aware of possible danger.2.　 Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes,crossing a boundary,or losing our trust.Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf. 

　　Negative emotions focus our awareness.3.　 But too many negative emotions can make us feel anxious,exhausted,or stressed out.When negative emotions are out of balance,problems might seem too big to handle. 

　　Positive emotions balance out negative ones,and they have other powerful benefits,too.Instead of narrowing our focus like negative emotions do,positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness,attention,and memory.They help us take in more information and hold several ideas in mind at once.4. 

　　When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities,we are more able to learn and build on our skills.5. 

　　A.What helps you feel confident?

　　B.That leads to doing better on tasks and tests.

　　C.It’s a signal that we might need to protect ourselves.

　　D.They help us focus on a problem so we can deal with it.

　　E.For example,it’s likely you’d prefer to feel happy instead of sad.

　　F.And they then make us understand how different ideas relate to each other.

　　G.Pay attention to these powerful tools and find ways to make time for them.

　　Ⅲ.短文改错

　　(2015·辽宁大连双基测试)

　　One day,I was walking home after school when an old man fell heavy onto the snow-covering road.Many people passed by,and no one took action.Some of them said it was none of their business;others worried that if they helped him,they might got into a difficult situation.Seeing what had happened,I called 120 immediately.While waiting the ambulance,I took down my coat to keep the old man warm.In no time did the ambulance came.Having helped the doctors carry him into an ambulance,I felt relieved.In my opinion,this is our duty to help those who are in troubles.
