【1】句意：因?yàn)檫@場(chǎng)可怕的暴風(fēng)雨，她的父母決定在下個(gè)周末舉行聚會(huì)。

Instead of 而不是；Thanks for感謝；Because of因?yàn)�。觀察句子邏輯，應(yīng)該是因?yàn)楸╋L(fēng)雨，所以推遲聚會(huì)，故選C。

【2】句意：這不一樣！

Exciting令人激動(dòng)的；different不同的；usual平常的。根據(jù)“My birthday is today, not next weekend! 我的生日是今天，不是下周末！”，可知應(yīng)該是不一樣的，故選B。

【3】句意：薩拉打開(kāi)電視。

listened to the radio聽(tīng)收音機(jī)；turned on the TV打開(kāi)電視；went to the movie去看電影。根據(jù)“almost every station was talking about it. 幾乎每個(gè)電視臺(tái)都在談?wù)撨@件事。”那么應(yīng)該是打開(kāi)電視，故選B。

【4】句意：但是幾乎每個(gè)電視臺(tái)都在談?wù)撨@件事。

Though盡管；And和；But但是。根據(jù)前面“She wanted to watch anything that wasn’t about the storm. 她想看任何與暴風(fēng)雨無(wú)關(guān)的東西�！钡�是幾乎每個(gè)電視臺(tái)都在談?wù)撨@件事，可知應(yīng)該是表轉(zhuǎn)折，故選C。

【5】句意：我甚至不能看我最喜歡的節(jié)目。

even 甚至；just僅僅；never絕不。結(jié)合文意，她想看任何與暴風(fēng)雨無(wú)關(guān)的東西，但是幾乎每個(gè)電視臺(tái)都在談?wù)撨@件事。所以應(yīng)該是這個(gè)時(shí)候甚至不能看最喜歡的節(jié)目，故選A。

【6】句意：她知道如果她的家人失去了他們的家，她會(huì)很難過(guò)的。

food食物；money錢(qián)；home家。根據(jù)“The storm is ruining a lot. Look at that.Those people are trying to save their houses. Could you imagine if we lost our home? 暴風(fēng)雨正在毀掉很多東西。你看，那些人正在搶救他們的房子。你能想象如果我們失去了我們的家嗎？”，所以這里應(yīng)該是指家，故選C。

【7】句意：他們會(huì)沒(méi)事嗎？

they他們；you你，你們；he他。根據(jù)“What's going to happen to all those people? 那些人會(huì)怎么樣呢？”可知這里指的是前面提到的那些人，故選A。

【8】句意：通常，當(dāng)有像這樣的大風(fēng)暴時(shí)，人們會(huì)籌集資金，向無(wú)家可歸的家庭分發(fā)食物和其他東西。

kind親切友好的，有益的；normal標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的，常見(jiàn)的；homeless無(wú)家可歸的，流浪街頭的。因?yàn)榇箫L(fēng)暴破壞家園，那么這里應(yīng)該指無(wú)家可歸的人，故選C。

【9】句意：也許我可以把我的生日錢(qián)寄給他們。

send 運(yùn)送，郵送；pay支付；lend出借。根據(jù)前面提到“I want to help too我也想幫忙”那么應(yīng)該是把錢(qián)寄給需要幫助的人，故選A。

【10】句意：我真的希望一切都會(huì)很快好起來(lái)。

work on致力于；work out有進(jìn)展，被解決；work in把……安排進(jìn)去，摻入。暴風(fēng)雨帶來(lái)災(zāi)難，那么應(yīng)該是希望快點(diǎn)好起來(lái)，把暴風(fēng)雨的事情解決掉，故選B。
