For Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.
Hilltop Pub&Grill
Hilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “high-quality North Atlantic fish, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.
The Final Score Bar&Grill
The Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter choices set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.
Point After Pub&Grill
Point After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,” explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.
Two Harps Pub
This Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it. It really made sense to open up an Irish bar.” The growing pub advises guests to try a cold beer with their Friday fried fish.

A Portland, Oregon man has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance.
Colin O’Brady has completed the 1,500-kilometer trip. He crossed the continent in 54 days. Friends, family and other people followed his progress through messages and pictures he left on social media.
O’Brady spoke with his wife Jenna Besaw by telephone soon after he completed the journey. “It was an emotional call,” she said. “He seemed overwhelmed by love and appreciation, and he really wanted to say ‘thank you’ to all of us.”
The 33-year-old O’Brady documented the trip on the social networking services Instagram. He called his journey “The Impossible First”. He wrote that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O’Brady wrote, “While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced.”
The day before, he wrote that he was “in the zone” and thought he could make it to the end without stopping. “I was listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe,” he wrote. “I called home and talked to my mom, sister and wife. I promised them I would stop when I need to.”
Other people have traveled across Antarctica, but they all had some form of assistance. They either had better, more plentiful supplies or devices that helped move them forward.
In 2016, British explorer Henry Worsley died in his attempt to travel alone across Antarctica unassisted. Worsley’s friend Louis Rudd, also from Britain, is attempting an unaided solo journey in Worsley’s honor. He was competing against O’Brady to be the first to do it. Besaw told the Associated Press that her husband plans to stay in Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip.

6. Why does O’Brady still remain in Antarctica

C. To help other explorers. D. To make his victory recognized.
7. What might be a suitable title for the text
A. The Antarctic Continent B. The Impossible First
C Traveling in Antarctica D. An Incomplete Journey

Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference People say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw (人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.
8. What do we know about Abdul
A. He doesn’t support his family. B. He plants trees with his own money.
C. He makes a living by doing different jobs. D. He plants trees to win his neighbors’ praise.
9. Why does Abdul plant trees on government land
A. To get money from government.
B. To set a good example to people.
C. To protect them from being cut down.
D. To get a place from government to build his own house.
10. Which of the following can best describe Abdul
A. Poor but helpful. B. Rich and reliable.
C. Uncaring and stupid. D. Active but dishonest.
11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Driving a rickshaw. B. Planting trees.
C. Making big money. D. Building a better home.
D
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
12. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us D. how much vegetables one should eat
13. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
14. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
15. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. it's better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it's better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables

47. 阅读下面材料，割据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.

1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；

C. Keeping in touch with them. D. Stopping the travel halfway.
6. Why does O’Brady still remain in Antarctica

C. To help other explorers. D. To make his victory recognized.

4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“He called his journey “The Impossible First”. He wrote that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O’Brady wrote, “While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, …”(O’Brady称自己的旅程为“不可能的第一”。他完成了最后129公里的冲刺，冲向了终点线。这段距离花了一天时间才走完。他写道:“虽然过去的32小时是我一生中最具挑战性的时刻，……)”可知O’Brady的南极之旅很困难，很有挑战性，他认为很难完成。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“I was listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe,”(我倾听自己身体的声音，注意每一个细节以保证自己的安全)和“I called home and talked to my mom, sister and wife. I promised them I would stop when I need to.”(我打电话回家，和我的妈妈、姐姐和妻子谈了谈。我答应过他们，必要时我会停下来。)可知O’Brady答应家人自己会注意安全，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besaw told the Associated Press that her husband plans to stay in Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip.” (Besaw告诉美联社，她的丈夫计划留在南极洲，直到Rudd结束他的旅行。)可知O’Brady仍然留在南极洲没回来是在等待另一个探险者Rudd，故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“A Portland, Oregon man has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance.”提到O’Brady成为第一个在没有任何帮助的情况下独自穿越南极洲的人。下文讲述了他穿越南极遇到的困难和克服困难穿越的过程。第四段“He called his journey “The Impossible First”.”O’Brady称自己的旅程为“不可能的第一”， The Impossible First能概况全文，适合作为标题。这次旅行O’Brady成功完成了，D项表达错误；本文不是在讲述南极洲或普通的南极之旅，A、C不能概况文章内容，故选B。
C
Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference People say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw (人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.
8. What do we know about Abdul
A. He doesn’t support his family. B. He plants trees with his own money.
C. He makes a living by doing different jobs. D. He plants trees to win his neighbors’ praise.
9. Why does Abdul plant trees on government land
A. To get money from government.
B. To set a good example to people.
C. To protect them from being cut down.
D. To get a place from government to build his own house.
10. Which of the following can best describe Abdul
A. Poor but helpful. B. Rich and reliable.
C. Uncaring and stupid. D. Active but dishonest.
11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Driving a rickshaw. B. Planting trees.
C. Making big money. D. Building a better home.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象，包括考查it（指动物，无生命的事物、特定的事件或人），they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词)，he/she等人称代词的指代意义，以及指示代词this，that，these，those等在文章中的指代意义，考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人，物，事件的认知能力。解答这类题时，同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容，分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程，理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系，从而准确推断其指代的对象。例如，在第4小题中，同学们要弄懂全文大意，才能理清it指代的对象。仅凭it所在句是无法推理出其指代意义的。第一段提到he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees.到目前为止，他已经种了一个有17500多棵树的小树。和倒数第二段The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment. 《每日星报》希望每个人都以他为榜样，保护环境。可知Abdul一生种树为社会做贡献，也因此受到表彰。The Daily Star希望更多的人向他学习，保护环境。 Abdul 说的I can’t do it alone.指的是靠他自己的力量种树不行，需要更多人参与。 it 指planting trees，故选B。

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
12. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us D. how much vegetables one should eat
13. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
14. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
15. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. it's better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it's better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，割据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I' m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day.
