I am glad to know that a DV competition will be hold next month. All the senior students are welcome to film videos about the color1 ful school life, that will go by soon. Those who are interested are expected to limit the videos to s minutes and simple upload it to the school website.
Though not a expert in video-making, but I still want to have a try. I would take this chance to record those wonderful moment with my teachers and friends. From my opinion, nothing is valuable and meaningful than the days with them.
参考答案：

本文主要讲了作者想要参加学校举办的DV录制大赛，记录自己老师和朋友们精彩的时刻。
考查语态。DV competition与hold之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，hold改成held。
考查非限制性定语从句。which will go by soon. 是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用which， that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
考查副词。修饰动词upload，用副词，所以simple改成 simply。
考查代词。指代前面的the videos，所以it改成them。
考查固定用法。though与but不能连用，所以去掉though。
考查冠词。泛指“一位专家”，且expert的首字母发音是元音，所以a改成an。
考查时态。表示将要发生的事情，用一般将来时，所以would改成will。
考查名词单复数。我将抓住这个机会记录我的老师和朋友们精彩的时刻。“精彩的时刻”是复数意义，所以moment改成 moments。
考查固定用法。in one’s opinion依某人来看，是固定用法，所以from改成in。
考查比较级。由than可判断出这里需要使用比较级，所以valuable之前加more。

三、 阅读理解
21. “Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”
Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.
Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.
“Good education doesn’t mean letting your children enjoy privileges, especially our boys.” said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家)in Jinhua’ East China’s Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”
In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.
A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.“All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families; some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song’s only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.
Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.
“The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character; they are not personal.”
But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.
But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.
32. From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying ________ .
A. is out of date in modern times           B. is disagreed by rich parents
C. is still worth trusting                  D. is deeply believed by better educated parents
33. The underlined sentence means that _________.
A. Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonely
B. Song is the only one who sends his child to military school
C. there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song
D. the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it
34. How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?
A. 10.　　    B. 13.         C. 15.         D. 25.
35. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.
B. Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.
C. Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.
D. Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.
参考答案：
32.C
33.C
34.D
35.A
试题分析：文章讲述了越来越多的中国家长把孩子送到VFMA接受军事化管理以提高孩子各方面素质，反映了家庭教育观念的变化。
32.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的"but experts say they still ring true"和第三段Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.可知打是亲,骂是爱这句谚语在现在仍然有价值，现在的父母对孩子要求严格也是爱的表现。故选C。

22. A weather system known as a polar vortex brought dangerously cold weather to large parts of the United States this week. A polar vortex is a cold, thick low pressure system. The air turns counter-clockwise when on the move.
The polar vortex started up in Canada. After crossing the border, it moved deep into the southeastern United States. The polar vortex brought the coldest temperatures in more than 20 years to many areas. Alice Jenkins lives in Washington D.C.
“I have a coat on. I have three sweaters. I have two blouses. But I don’t feel like I have anything on.”
Another woman, named Amanda, lives nearby in Maryland.
“It’s D.C. It’s not supposed to be this cold.”
The extreme weather started with a low-pressure system near the North Pole. The Arctic air was pushed as far south as Alabama on wind currents known as the jet stream. The bitter cold covered much of the central United States, forcing schools, government offices and businesses to
close.
But the polar vortex did not have the same effect everywhere.
Interestingly enough, it is warmer in Alaska and also somewhat warmer over Greenland because when you exhaust cold air in the North Pole and the Arctic region, when it’s forced southward, it can’t all stay there. Basically it’s rushing towards us in the United States.”
Camden Walker, a weather expert, says the weather system moved away quickly from places like Washington. But the cold air and high winds were staying longer in the middle of the country.
Temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius or lower were reported in Washington, New York, Boston and Philadelphia. In fact, temperatures in all or parts of the 50 states were below freezing at some point on Tuesday. Even in Hawaii, it was minus six degrees at the top of the state’s highest mountain. 
The effect of the polar vortex was extensive. Airline companies cancelled more than 11,000 flights over a four day period. The cold weather also interfered with train service. In the south, the Tennessee Valley Authority said it set a single day record for electricity as homeowners struggled to stay warm. But there was more to the picture.
67. Which of the following statements about the polar vortex is NOT true?
   A. It came from around the North Pole area.    
B. All the places it swept across became extremely cold.
C. It caused Washington, D.C to be colder than usual in this season.
D. It caused great losses in the U.S.
68. The purpose of Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 is to_________.
   A. say Alice and Amanda should have put on more clothes
   B. show Washington, D.C is the most affected place in America
   C. indicate the extremely cold weather this year is unusual for Washington, D.C
   D. tell us women suffered more from the extreme weather
69. Central U.S. was more severely affected by the cold because _________.
   A. it was the place where the polar vortex was born
   B. it was too low here for the polar vortex to leave
   C. it was close to Washington, D.C
   D. it was the cold air and high winds that stayed longer here
70. The passage is probably going to talk about _________ if it continues.
   A. other damage the polar vortex caused       
B. how long the extreme weather will last
   C. what can be done to stop it happening again  
D. the best way to stay warm this winter
