【答案】
(1)A
(2)C
(3)C
(4)B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。
文章主要介绍了几个英语中与“风暴”有关的表达。
(1)段落大意题。
第三段第一句“Ifyouweatherthestorm,orrideoutthestorm,yousurviveandmoveonwithoutharmorinjury.”可知本段讲述weatherthestorm或者rideoutthestorm指安全度过;和第四段最后一句“Toweatherthestormcanalsomeantomakeitthroughadifficultexperienceortryingtimes.可知第四段讲述Toweatherthestorm指度过难关。
故可知第三四段主要讲述weatherthestorm的意义是什么。
故选A。
(2)推理判断题。
根据第五段第二句“Thecalmbeforethestormcanhappenanytime.Itisthetimebeforesomethingbadhappens.”可知暴风雨前的宁静任何事都可能发生,这是一段某些不好的事情将要发生的时间。
接着作者用家庭聚会作为例子来解释这一种说法的含义,故选C。
(3)推理判断题。
最后一段第二句“Tobrainstormmeanstotrytosolveaproblembytalkingwithotherpeople.”可知头脑风暴的意思是尝试通过与他人交流来解决一个问题,即困难可以通过团队合作来解决,故选C。
(4)主旨大意题。
根据文章内容,如第五段提到暴风雨前的宁静,第六段讲“intheeyeofthestorm”处于风口浪尖上,最后一段说明“brainstorm”头脑风暴,可知文章主要介绍与“风暴”有关的表达,故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及段落大意,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇说明类阅读,要求考生准确捕捉细节信息,通过题干中的关键词在文章中定位,同时根据上下文进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了自己父亲的生活以及处事原则。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Myfather'sapartmentisquitedifferentfromanyotherperson'slivingspace.Exceptformyroom,thereisnofurniture.”我父亲的公寓和其他人的生活空间大不相同。

可知,我父亲公寓的不同寻常之处在于房间里几乎没有家具,故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。

可知“不能在家里穿鞋”是房屋规则之一,故选B。

可知选A。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“Hedidn'tspeakEnglishuntilhewassixteen,andhehadahardtimelearningtowriteit,sohewantsmetobecomeagoodwriteratanearlyage.”他直到16岁才会说英语,而且他很难学会写英语,所以他希望我在很小的时候就成为一名优秀的作家。
可推断出,作者的父亲会说不止一种语言,故选D。
