Upstairs, the children were asleep. But I wasn39。t feeling happy. In midDecember, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said. In the years since that painful season, I have e to look back upon New Year39。s Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Year39。s Eve brings a halt to the endless mitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect. New Year39。s Eve is full of possibility and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the ing year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months? In many ways, New Year39。s Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition(過(guò)渡) that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It39。s about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong (迅猛地) into the unfamiliar. Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead. Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness(沉靜) and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese. I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing(熱情洋溢的) heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness this holiday season.（1）What does the underlined word halt in Paragraph 2 mean most probably?

In midDecember, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die.（但是我不開(kāi)心。12月中旬，我和丈夫被告知，他得了癌癥，即將去世。）可知，作者在十年前新年前夜不開(kāi)心的主要原因是她丈夫面臨的健康問(wèn)題。故選B。 （3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.（我發(fā)現(xiàn)，每一年我都必須走出即將結(jié)束的已經(jīng)適應(yīng)一年的自己的版本，輕松地進(jìn)入我將為未來(lái)的一年實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)的版本。）可知，作者認(rèn)為人們?cè)谛履陸?yīng)該想想過(guò)去，為未來(lái)做好準(zhǔn)備。故選D。 （4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容可知，作者分享自己的經(jīng)歷和對(duì)新年夜的看法，故推知作者的寫(xiě)作目的是為了分享自己對(duì)于新年夜的看法和觀點(diǎn)。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查學(xué)生對(duì)語(yǔ)篇的理解能力。通讀全文，把握文章主旨。理解題干，在原文找到對(duì)應(yīng)段或具體到對(duì)應(yīng)上下文，歸納總結(jié)答案。9．閱讀理解 By the time you read these words, winter should have gone within the Northern Hemisphere (半球). But at its worst, this winter was unusually cold. Here in New York City on January 31, the low temperature dropped to 17℃. In Chicago, it was also 17℃—but that was the high. The low jumped to 29℃. And the wind chill within the Windy City was 44℃ or 46℃, relying on which climate station was crying out in pain. As ic Lewis Black said, That is not weather. That39。s an emergency condition. When the forecast warned us a few days earlier that Arctic air was looming (陰森地逼近), President Trump issued a sincere and helpful tweet, which ended with: What the hell is going on with Global Warming? Please e back fast, we need you! And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request. On February 4 the Chicago temperature reached 11℃. And the following day the Big Apple was in a sunny 19℃. The Arctic is warming at twice the speed as the global average. This heat might help disrupt (打破) the polar vortex, a gradual wind pattern that usually stays focused on circling the North Pole. A shaky jet stream (高速氣流) then ru
