崔翔回答：

　　1.A 　　2.B 　　3.C 　　4.B 　　5.D 　　分析：　　本文主要讲了因为Patti的到来，“我”计划了许多“我”认为很美好的活动。但是，一场未预料到的暴风雨的到来破坏了所有计划，“我们”又通过其他的方式来寻找快乐。这件事情让我认识到：重要的是人，而不是计划。　　1.wouldbeoneofourusualshort-but-sweetget-togethers:anicemealsomeshoppinganoutingwithourkids.”可以看出作者认为这次聚会将会和往常一样，是一次短暂但很甜蜜的聚会：一顿不错的晚餐，适当的购物，一次和孩子们的远足。并没有提到去看电影，故选A。　　2.stormhadspedinoutofnowhere.Thelightswentout—forthenext12hours.”可以看出暴风雨从不知道的地方加速袭来。在接下来的12个小时里，一直处于停电状态，故选B。　　3.firstwetalkedaboutourruinedplans.Then………..Webegantotalkaboutourfriends.Weplannedourparents’upcominganniversaryparty.Ourconversationwenttoplacesithadn’tgoneinyears.”可以看出作者和她的姐姐开始谈论着她们被毁坏的计划，然后开始讨论她们的朋友，紧接着又计划着她们父母即将到来的结婚周年聚会。她们这次的对话延伸到了这些年都没讨论过的话题。从而可以推断出作者和她的姐姐聊了很多，故选C。　　4.nightthelightswentoutontheotherhandtheywillburnbrightlyforalongtime.”看出虽然那晚停电了，但是，另一方面，那个经历将会长时间的燃烧并照亮作者内心。从而推断出作者最后是充满感激的，故选B。　　5. 　　考点：　　考查记叙文阅读。
