I.阅读理解

Ever since my childhood, I have been hearing people talking about Rome. Last month, I finally had the chance to visit it. I spent three busy days there, seeing tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations. There are so many things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹)from its long past. These monuments include the vast Coliseum(竞技场)where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in the Vatican and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
1. What does the underlined word "gladiators" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Athletes. B. Butcher. C. Invaders. D. Fighters.
2. Why did the author think the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating
A. They represent Rome's religion.
B. They are very old and valuable things.
C. They are relics from Rome's distant past.
D. They include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum.
3. What should you be careful in choosing while visiting Rome
A. The attractions. B. The food. C. The hotels. D. The luxury shops.
4. Where is the text most likely from
A. A travel guide. B. A novel. C. A newspaper. D. A science fiction.
【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己游玩意大利首都罗马的经历和感受。
1.D【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词之后的“used to fight each other until death and hunt
from another country”可知，该词意为“角斗士”。故选D.
25.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“full of wonderful relics(遗迹）from its distant past"和“The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating”可知选C.
3.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段前两句中的“In Rome,there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region-..”可知，作者暗示选择食物时要特别小心。故选B.
4.A【解析】文章出处题。本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己游玩意大利首都罗马的经历和感受。最有可能出现在旅行指南上。故选A.
B
No one is sure where and when the expression “apple-pie order” began. It's said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organised way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “apple-pie order” began in New England.
Another old expression, “apple of discord”, comes from ancient myth(神话), however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were silting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses—Eris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.
At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro”—apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “d'amour”—the French word for love. And so “pomo di Moro” became the apple of love.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel.”When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause every one to act badly.
1.Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase “apple-pie order”
A. It began in New England. B. Nobody's sure where and when it began.
C. Everyone is sure where it began. D. It has been put into use recently.
2.What's the meaning of “apple of discord”？
A. Cause of disagreement. B. Situation of danger.
C. Everything in agreement. D. Everything in good order.
3.What's the purpose of the third paragraph
A. To show us a mistaken idea.
B. To tell us a love story about apple.
C.To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love.
D.To show how the tomato was brought in from South America.
4.Which of the following expressions is about health
A. Apple of discord. B. Apple-pie order.
C. One rotten apple spoils the barrel. D. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的No one is sure where and when the expression “apple-pie order”began.可知，没有人知道“apple-pie order”这个短语起源于何时何地，故选B项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，不和女神厄里斯把一个金苹果扔到桌子上，作为对最美女神的奖励，帕里斯最后将苹果给了阿佛洛狄忒，另外两位女神非常生气；此事引发了特洛伊战争。由此可推知，“apple of discord”的意思是“引起争端的原因；不和的种子”。故选A项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的At one time， the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake.可知，第三段主要是解释为什么西红柿一度被称为“a love apple”。故选C项。
4.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”可知，“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”这个表达是和健康有关的。故选D项。

Are you a happy person or an unhappy person

Unhappy people like comparing themselves with others and feel jealous. 4 This is wrong. Instead you should get inspired and try to achieve more. Learn to believe in unlimited possibilities. Don't get upset and think that somebody's luck limits your possible outcome in life,
Unhappy people consider their future with worry and fear. 5 Unhappy people fill the head space with worry and fear. How can you be happy if you are always in worry or fear When worry or fear crosses your mind, ask yourself if there is an action you can take to prevent your fear or worry from happening. If there isn't, just lay it down because worry or fear does you no good at all.
Everyone will probably swim in negative waters once in a while, but what matters is how long you stay there. Follow the ways mentioned above and then you will be much happier.

B. Unhappiness is also a choice.
C. There is only so much space between your ears.

Ever since my childhood, I have been hearing people talking about Rome. Last month, I finally had the chance to visit it. I spent three busy days there, seeing tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations. There are so many things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹)from its long past. These monuments include the vast Coliseum(竞技场)where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in the Vatican and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

No one is sure where and when the expression “apple-pie order” began. It's said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organised way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “apple-pie order” began in New England.
Another old expression, “apple of discord”, comes from ancient myth(神话), however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were silting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses—Eris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.
At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro”—apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “d'amour”—the French word for love. And so “pomo di Moro” became the apple of love.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel.”When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause every one to act badly.
