2018-2019学年高二英语下学期周测试题(3.25-3.31)一、阅读理解（本大题共8小题，共24.0分） A I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago Even though 1own a home in Port St Lucie just minutes from the ocean， an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse Instead of enjoying Floridas mild winters， I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island， the place I called home for 65 yearsIm like a migratory bird （候鸟） that has lost its sense of timing and direction， my wings flapping against season So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds？ The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees， I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees， and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center Floridians decorate， too， but cant create the special feel of a New England winter I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I havent seen in months What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner， or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas？ Even the first snowfall seems special I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch（ My wife and 1spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge， and Im grateful that I dont have to shovel） While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island， they are some of the reasons why I e back Who says you cant go home？1.
