When I was younger, I was addicted to reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter. From fairy tales to thrillers, nonfiction to plays, I enjoyed reading any literature that I could lay my hands on.
However, while there are many books for younger children, once you reach your mid-teens the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple but not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn't quite understand.
This lack of choice eventually led me to read less and less. When I was in secondary school, the only books I read were the ones that were assigned to me in English class, and I was never very enthusiastic about my teacher's choices. I thought too much discussion of symbolism and themes ruined the book. Maybe the sky being blue didn't represent anything; maybe it was just a description!
Fortunately, I realised quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module in my first year. At first, I thought I wouldn't enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However, I soon realised that at the university level, the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say! And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the subtle aspects of the plot: yes, even the symbolism and themes.
I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X's autobiography and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad, I spend a lot of my spare time reading in bookshops and cafés. I'm so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.
1.What does the author intend to say in Paragraph 1
A.She used to stay up late at night.
B.She read very fast as a young girl.
C.She loved reading very much in her childhood.
D.She once bought many different kinds of books.
2.Why did the author read less when she was a teenager
A.She found very few suitable books to read. B.She was too busy with her schoolwork.
C.She had no right to choose books herself. D.She was really tired of reading books.
3.What made the author fall in love with reading again
A.Her reading experiences at university. B.A book by Malcolm X.
C.A special bookstore abroad. D.Her professor of French literature.
4.What's the text mainly about
A.The importance of discussing a book's theme. B.The author's desire to read widely.
C.The ways to form good reading habits. D.The process of the author picking up reading.
C
Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought-out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.
Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honoured and quickly realised the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice. "If Mrs. Wang needed this service, maybe other parents would as well," Jessup thought.
After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed 1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major characteristics, like honesty and optimism.
In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages the technical operation. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on her studies.
1.What's the purpose of Special Name
A.To help Chinese teens go abroad. B.To strengthen children's personalities.
C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby. D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.
2.What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name
A.A suggestion from a business partner. B.Her interest in Chinese culture.
C.A Chinese mother's request. D.A character from a play.
3.What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future
A.A woman with achievements. B.A famous actress.
C.A successful businesswoman. D.A western culture expert.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name
A.It offers a free service.
B.It's updated every day.
C.It's operated completely by itself.
D.It is easy to manage.

There are many beautiful places in Europe worth visiting. Among them Greece is right at the top. A vacation to Greece will give you everything you ever want in a holiday.

Switzerland is also proud of Jungfraujoch — the highest train station in Europe. Switzerland has developed an amazing transport network, and each and every mountain village can be got to by some kind of public transport.
Venice of Italy is another great destination. It has an amazing history and is famous for its beautiful architecture. There are many old buildings worth visiting. Venice is also filled with many art galleries. The Grand Canal is a long canal that runs right through the city. This is referred to as the most beautiful street in the whole of Venice.

六、阅读下面材料,根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。续写的词数应为150左右。
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem, my inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room". I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued to the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
Paragraph 1:
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, and was awarded a PhD in literature.

五、答案：
Hello, everyone! I'm glad to have this chance to share some ideas about garbage classification with you.
In my understanding, the earth is home to every individual, and it's our duty to protect the environment voluntarily. By sorting the waste, we can not only reduce pollution but also conserve energy, which will pave the way for the recycling of valuable resources.
For the sake of our environment and life, we are expected to learn to sort the rubbish and make it a habit. Every individual can make a difference and let's bring a brighter future for the planet!
Thank you!
六、答案：
Paragraph 1:
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something. The trick of reading is to put yourself into the story experiencing what the author goes through and appreciating its meaning in your heart. As long as I clung to this process, not only was my inability to read defeated, but also an inner aspiration to read was stimulated, which changed my life for the better. During the summer, I incredibly developed special companionship with books, ranging from vivid storybooks to academic articles. My mother was more than delighted to see my change.
Paragraph 2:
And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, and was awarded a PhD in literature. She proposed that my experience should be of use to others. So I set up a team to provide those who had difficulty reading with space to turn to, through which I myself also gained a better understanding of reading as well as my life. My first adventure of reading turned out to be a permanent treasure.

续写第一段开头为：妈妈的电话把我带回了现实世界。我突然意识到一件事。……后面应该写我意识的事情，就是把自己置身于阅读之中，联想自身的经历，就能克服阅读障碍。
续写第二段开头为：几年后，她为儿子读了成千上万本书而感到自豪，并获得了文学博士学位。后面应该写妈妈建议我把自己读书的经历分享给其他人，让其他有阅读障碍的人能够轻松阅读。

When I was younger, I was addicted to reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter. From fairy tales to thrillers, nonfiction to plays, I enjoyed reading any literature that I could lay my hands on.
However, while there are many books for younger children, once you reach your mid-teens the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple but not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn't quite understand.
This lack of choice eventually led me to read less and less. When I was in secondary school, the only books I read were the ones that were assigned to me in English class, and I was never very enthusiastic about my teacher's choices. I thought too much discussion of symbolism and themes ruined the book. Maybe the sky being blue didn't represent anything; maybe it was just a description!
Fortunately, I realised quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module in my first year. At first, I thought I wouldn't enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However, I soon realised that at the university level, the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say! And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the subtle aspects of the plot: yes, even the symbolism and themes.
I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X's autobiography and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad, I spend a lot of my spare time reading in bookshops and cafés. I'm so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.

Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought-out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.
Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honoured and quickly realised the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice. "If Mrs. Wang needed this service, maybe other parents would as well," Jessup thought.
After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed 1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major characteristics, like honesty and optimism.
In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages the technical operation. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on her studies.
1.What's the purpose of Special Name
A.To help Chinese teens go abroad. B.To strengthen children's personalities.
C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby. D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.
2.What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name
A.A suggestion from a business partner. B.Her interest in Chinese culture.
C.A Chinese mother's request. D.A character from a play.
3.What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future
A.A woman with achievements. B.A famous actress.
C.A successful businesswoman. D.A western culture expert.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name
A.It offers a free service.
B.It's updated every day.
C.It's operated completely by itself.
D.It is easy to manage.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem, my inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room". I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued to the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
Paragraph 1:
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something.

Paragraph 2:
And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, and was awarded a PhD in literature.

六、答案：
Paragraph 1:
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something. The trick of reading is to put yourself into the story experiencing what the author goes through and appreciating its meaning in your heart. As long as I clung to this process, not only was my inability to read defeated, but also an inner aspiration to read was stimulated, which changed my life for the better. During the summer, I incredibly developed special companionship with books, ranging from vivid storybooks to academic articles. My mother was more than delighted to see my change.
Paragraph 2:
And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, and was awarded a PhD in literature. She proposed that my experience should be of use to others. So I set up a team to provide those who had difficulty reading with space to turn to, through which I myself also gained a better understanding of reading as well as my life. My first adventure of reading turned out to be a permanent treasure.
解析： 本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，作者是阅读有障碍的人，在他12岁的时候，妈妈命令他去图书馆去借一本书，作者在图书馆中读了一本关于一只小狗和他的主人之间故事的书，联想自己的经历，沉浸在故事之中。
续写第一段开头为：妈妈的电话把我带回了现实世界。我突然意识到一件事。……后面应该写我意识的事情，就是把自己置身于阅读之中，联想自身的经历，就能克服阅读障碍。
续写第二段开头为：几年后，她为儿子读了成千上万本书而感到自豪，并获得了文学博士学位。后面应该写妈妈建议我把自己读书的经历分享给其他人，让其他有阅读障碍的人能够轻松阅读。
