【分析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了今年，作者学校号召学生们充分利用时间，在假期做一些社会实践。作者在一家小饭馆馆打工，辛苦地工作也让作者意识到对于作者父母来说，供养这个家庭有多么困难。
【详解】第一处：考查固定短语。句意：今年，我们学校号召我们学生充分利用我们的时间，在假期做一些社会实践。make good use of充分利用，该短语是固定短语，所以去掉a。
第二处：考查形容词。句意：今年，我们学校号召我们学生充分利用我们的时间，在假期做一些社会实践。修饰名词practice，用形容词，所以socially→social。
第三处：考查连词。句意：我原以为很容易，但事实上很难。表示转折关系，所以and→but。
第四处：考查固定短语。句意：我原以为很容易，但事实上很难。as a matter of fact事实上，该短语是固定短语，所以by→as。
第五处：考查时态。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以spend→spent。
第六处：考查固定短语。句意：我整个上午都在洗盘子和摆桌子。Wash dishes洗盘子，该短语是固定短语，所以dish→dishes。
第七处：考查非谓语动词。句意：午饭后，我马上又开始工作，做同样的事情直到晚上十一点。“做”的逻辑主语是“我”，它们之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，所以does→doing。
第八处：考查固定句型。句意：它每天花费我十多个小时在那里工作。It takes sb. some time to do sth.花费某人多长时间做某事，该句型是固定句型，所以myself→me。
第九处：考查引导词。句意：我也意识到对于我父母来说，供养这个家庭有多么困难。文中表示“多么困难”，所以what→how。
第十处：考查介词。句意：我也意识到对于我父母来说，供养这个家庭有多么困难。文中表示“对于…”，所以is之后加for。

　Chilean rescued miner Edison Pena ran the New York City Marathon on November 7th , less than a month after he was rescued from a collapsed (坍塌的) mine that trapped him and the other 32 miners for 69 days. Pena ran 10 km daily through the mine’s tunnels (巷道) to beat the anxiety, wearing cut-down boots until rescuers sent him a pair of sports shoes through a narrow hole that served as the miners’ “lifeline” to the surface.
“When I ran in the darkness, I was running for life,” Pena told a news conference in New York. “I was running to show that I wasn’t just waiting around. I also wanted God to see that I really wanted to live.” The miners were discovered alive on August 22---17 days after the mine collapsed, but it took many more days for rescuers to dig a hole big enough to bring them out.
The New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, had invited Edison Pena to the event after hearing his story. They thought he could ride in the lead vehicle or hold the finish line tape, but Pena said last week he did not want to watch, he wanted to run. “I was very eager to take on this big challenge,” he said. “I wanted to show the world I could run.” He hoped to run the 26.2-mile race in about six hours. “I have a knee injury, but I am eager to cross the finish line,” he said.
An Elvis Presley fan who asked rescuers to send the singer’s music down into the mine, Pena broke into song at the news conference with the Presley hit Return to Sender.
On the morning of November 7th, Pena, known as “the runner” by fellow miners trapped with him, set out to cover the course along with thousands of other runners and completed the race in five hours and 40 minutes.

22. 阅读下列短文，从题中所给的（A，B，C，D）四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami.
Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms. Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most tremendous tonadoes in the nation's history. From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others. "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Express newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth," said Svanstrom.
They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake destroyed the city on February 22. Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone." "We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan." But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svantrom said. "It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth."
The family returned to Stockholm on March 29,2011 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China. But Mr. Svanstrom, who also survived the destructive Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004, said the marriage was still going strong. He added, "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them." "We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy." Mrs. Svantrom added: “ To say we were unlucky with the weather doesn’t really cover it! It’s so absurd that now we can only laugh.”
56. How many countries did the couple visit during their honeymoon?
A. 6.  B. 5.   C. 4.   D. 3.
57. What's the right order of the following things according to the passage?
a. The couple headed south to Brisbane.
b. The couple flew to Cairns.
c. The couple flew to Christchurch.
d. The couple were stranded in Munich.
A. a-b-c-d   B. a-c-b-d  C. d-b-c-a  D. d-b-a-c
58. By saying "We escaped by the skin of our teeth.", Mr. Svanstrom meant that _____
A. The tornadoes was tremendous
B. They escaped from the tornadoes easily.
C. They had a narrow escape from the tornadoes
D. There was something wrong with their teeth
59. According to the last two paragraphs, which word can best describe Mr. Svanstrom?
A. ambitious.   B. enthusiastic
C. considerate   D. optimistic
