Until recently, I was not a “real” stepmother either. But I have been living with the man who is now my husband, Bernardo for 10 years and in those 10 years, not only have his younger daughters spent every other weekend and half of their school holiday with us but also his son has lived with us fulltime. In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.Being a step mum is hard enough but being a sortofstepmother is about the most awkward position a mature woman can find herself in. With my sortofsteppies, I have occupied a place of influence, power and sometimes extreme anger by turns. I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grownup friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authoritybut not too much.Love the kids or hate them, you must always remember that no matter how much you cook, clean, hug, comfort and discipline, you will never actually count.To survive, I trained myself to love the stepkids as hard as I could, but not to care. Its a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semidetached is the position.篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要叙述作为一个继母应该如何与孩子相处才是一个适当的度。1Which of the following is true about Bernardo?ABernardo seldom cares about the kids.BBernardo dislikes living with his kids.CBernardo respects the opinion of his kids.DBernardo doesnt recognize his wife as a “real” stepmother.答案：C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.”可知，Bernardo再婚让妻子搬进家里，还要征求孩子们的同意，由此可推断出Bernardo尊重孩子的意见。分析选项可知C项符合题意。2What does the author think of her role in the family?AShe was totally favored by the kids.BShe has acted as an enemy of the kids.CShe didnt have any influence in the family.DShe was the communication bridge between kids and their father.答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段最后部分“I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grownup friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authority .”可知，此处表述继母的身份令作者处于一种微妙的境地，既是一个成熟的朋友，又是能对他们的父亲产生影响的沟通的桥梁；既是家里的女主人，还是权威人物分析选项可知D项符合题意。3Whats the authors advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?ABe partly engaged in kids life.BCare little about kids behavior.CSeldom get involved in kids homework.DBecome the absolute authority of the family.答案：A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Its a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semidetached is the position.”可知，作者对于继母的建议就是部分地参与到孩子们的生活中，与文章最后一句中的“Semidetached”相呼应。分析选项可知A项符合题意，故选A项。BLast month I had a meeting in Seattle, so I decided to bring the whole family and make a trip out of it.

We flew up to Seattle, had a few fun days to explore the city and then boarded a train in Seattle in the morning.We arrived at the train station about 25 minutes before the train left. There were only a few other people in line, so getting on the train was so easy.The scenery was beautiful and exciting. It was so great to sit next to the window and watch the country go by, which was very enjoyable. The train traveled all along the water as we headed south to Oregon.The best part about the train was that you could get up and walk around to do stuff, and actually there was a lot of stuff to do. You could go to the observation car. There you could relax and watch the scenery. They also had a theater car where they were showing Arthur Christmas, which kept the kids entertained. There was also the dining car that served meals. The agent came around before every meal and made a reservation (预订). The food was fine, but not amazing. But everything was served in a way as if you were at a restaurant. It was fun to eat with a view of Mount Hood outside your window.When it was time to sleep, the agent helped us fold down our beds into double bunk beds (双层铺位). I didnt get a picture of this, but it felt comfortable.We had a great experience and have even been talking about taking a train trip across the country again sometime.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者带着家人沿着西雅图的海岸乘火车旅行。他们在火车上过得很愉快。4From Paragraph 1 we know that the writer and his family _.Awent to Seattle mainly to attend a meetingBlooked forward to a train ride down the coastCvisited the city Seattle from time to time togetherDdidnt take trains a lot as a family together in the past答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We had always wanted to take the train down the coast”可知，他们一直都期盼能乘火车沿着海岸旅行。5When the writer and his family arrived at the train station, _.Ait was very hard for them to get on the trainBthere were only a few people on the trainCall the other people had got on the trainDthey didnt wait long to board the train答案：D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“There were only a few other people in line, so getting on the train was so easy.”可知，作者一家人没等多久就上了火车。6How did the writer most probably feel sitting next to the window and watching the country go by?AUpset.

He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack now, but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out the back door and made her way to the_drug_store 6 blocks away . She waited for a long time before the pharmacist (药剂师) turned around and asked her, “And what do you want？”“Well, its about my brother，” Michelle answered, “hes really really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon？” said the pharmacist.“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost？”“We dont sell miracles here, little_girl. I am sorry. But I cant help you.” The pharmacist said.“Listen, I have the money to pay for it.” With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.At this time, a welldressed_man behind Michelle stooped down and asked the little girl, “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”“One_dollar_and_eleven_cents.” Michelle answered in a_low_voice,_“Thats all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”“Well，” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The_exact_price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother lives.”注意：1所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1：Holding the mans hand firmly. Michelle took him home.

Michelle took him home.The little_girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That welldressed_man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the little_brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one_dollar_and_eleven_cents. And it wasnt long before Jack was home again and doing well. Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the_exact_price of a miracle:_one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little child.Paragraph 2：When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed, “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesnt matter how much money she actually had with her, what matters is her faith, a faith that miracles do exist.- 8 -
