(Text 4)
W：Are you ready to place your order
M：I haven't decided yet. Can you give me some advice
W：Sure! Our special today is the fried fish with rice.
M：The fish sounds nice. Can I get that with a side salad
(Text 5)
W：Is the River Thames still polluted
M：It certainly used to be. I remember it used to smell awful, and if you fell in, you had to be taken to hospital.
W：That sounds terrible!
M：But in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact it's now one of the cleanest city rivers in the UK.
(Text 6)
W：Hello, Jack! It's Emily.

M：Thanks. Oh, did I tell you about my trip to London
W：Yes. When are you coming
M：I will be arriving at around 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

M：Haven't I asked you to call if you're going to be home late

M：Ah, yes. It's the same in our country. What about smoking
W：It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you're under 16.
M：That's a good law. Most countries have many teens that smoke.
W：Yes, it has actually become a serious social problem for us here. Okay, the biggest thing you'll need to watch out for is our traffic, as it's quite different from that in other countries. You should be careful when crossing the road, as the traffic moves on the left side of the road here. Always use the crossing for walking.
M：Yes, it's really unique!
W：And don't take any chances when crossing the road. I think the last thing you should be aware of is littering. It is against the law to throw away rubbish on the streets or in other public places. Whenever you have something to throw away, just put it in one of the litter bins along the road, or just put it in your pocket and throw it away at home.
M：Thanks so much for telling me all this.

Hello, everyone. Today, I'm going to share with you a little about the kinds of foods that English people eat.
A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, fried bread, mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes and baked beans, but most English people today prefer a breakfast of hot or cold grain, juice, and a warm drink of either tea or coffee.
The English lunch is normally eaten between 12：00 noon and 1：30 pm, and most often consists of a sandwich. Along with the sandwich, an English person might have a bag of potato chips, fruit or biscuits. A glass of beer might also be added to lunch if the person eats in one of the many pubs; otherwise, a tea or coffee. Fish and chips, often wrapped in a piece of paper, are still a favorite among English diners.
The afternoon tea is simply a time to snack on a bag of potato chips or a few biscuits, and drink a quick cup of tea or coffee. Tiny cakes and sweets are often eaten as well. Tea is also an old fashioned term for dinner; some English people still say “tea” when they mean the last main meal of the day.

Bill Bowerman was a track coach. He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learnt how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971.Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.
To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbara's jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern.He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.
Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles(华夫饼) for breakfast. Bill watched her cook.
He studied the criss cross pattern on a waffle iron.
Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it.
When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron—and the Waffle Trainer was born.
Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974.It was a huge hit. Maybe you've heard of that company—it's called Nike. And today it's worth around D|S100 billion.
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life—and helped turn Nike into a well known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Bill Bowerman 决心设计一款新型轻便跑鞋，几经挫折，最后华夫饼的模具给了他设计灵感，最终诞生了新款耐克训练鞋，耐克公司也成为知名体育用品公司。
24. What shortcomings did the old style running shoes have
A．They were hard to wear.
B．They were too large.
C．They were impractical.
D．They were easy to break.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.”可知，老式跑鞋的缺点是不实用。
25. Where did Bill get the inspiration to invent the famous Waffle Trainer
A．From the skins of the fish.
B．From his wife's jewelry.
C．From the colour of the iron.
D．From his wife's cooking tools.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Inspiration struck.The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for.”可知，Bill从妻子做华夫饼的模具中找到了制作新耐克鞋的灵感。
26．What can we learn from Bill's success
A．A cheerful wife is the joy of life.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Where there's a will, there's a way.
D．A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
解析：选C 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Bill发现老式跑鞋的弊端，决心设计新款跑鞋，经过多次尝试改进，从1971年到1974年，用了三年时间终于完成第一款大受欢迎的耐克鞋。再根据最后一段中的“It serves as a reminder that ...even the breakfast table.”可知，这个发明的过程启示人们面对困难，只要不放弃、多钻研，定能找到解决的办法。由此判断出我们能从比尔的成功中学到：有志者、事竟成。
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Waffles and Nike
B．Inspiration and Invention
C．A Great Inventor
D．A Well known Company
解析：选A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，Bill在设计新款耐克鞋的过程中多次受阻，但在妻子制作华夫饼时受到启发而突破了工作的瓶颈，让新款耐克鞋得以发明，华夫饼是新款耐克鞋诞生的关键转折点。由此可知A项Waffles and Nike (华夫饼和耐克)为最佳标题。

According to a new study, a lot of kids don't drink enough water. Erica Kenney, a scientist at Harvard's T．H. Chan School of Public Health, planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids drank at first. However, she found many kids had not enough water to drink.
Kenney and her team studied a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to 19, between the years 2009 and 2012. She noticed that more than half of the kids were dehydrated (脱水的). Boys were 76% more likely than girls to lack (缺乏) enough water. Nearly one quarter of the kids reported having no plain water.
“These findings are important because they show a potential (潜在的) health problem that has not been given a lot of attention in the past，” said Erica Kenney.
60% of the human body is made up of water. It controls the body temperature, sends oxygen all over the body, helps digestion, and performs various other tasks that keep our bodies healthy.
Not drinking enough water can lead to health problems. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you take part in physical exercise, and if you have a fever.
The United States National Agriculture Library says on average, kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from some foods that contain high amounts of water, such as melons or tomatoes, instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
“The good news is that this is a public health problem with a simple solution，” said senior author on the study and professor health sociology at Harvard University, Steven Gortmaker.“If we can focus on helping children drink more water, we will help them feel better throughout the day and do better in school.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。科学家进行的一项研究发现很多儿童摄入的饮用水不足，这可能会对他们的健康构成威胁。
28．At first, Erica Kenney's study was to ________.
A．find out how much water schools offered to kids
B．test the bad effects sugary drinks have on kids
C．research how much sugary drinks kids drank
D．figure out whether kids like drinking sugary water
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids drank at first”可知，Erica Kenney的研究最初是想调查一下学生们对含糖饮料的摄入量。
29．After the study, Erica Kenney found that ________.
A．most kids have health problems
B．many kids don't drink enough water
C．girls drink more sugary drinks than boys
D．lacking enough water can be bad for kids' health
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Erica Kenney发现很多孩子摄入的饮用水不足。
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to Steven Gortmaker
A．It is just a simple health problem for kids to be dehydrated.
B．The more water kids drink, the better grades they will get.
C．Everyone has to drink 14 cups of water every day.
D．Kids can benefit from drinking more water.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，在Steven Gortmaker看来，儿童喝足够的水后，不仅感觉良好，而且他们的学习效率也会提高，由此可知选D。
31．In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage
A．Science. B．Education.
C．Health. D．Economy.
解析：选C 文章出处题。本文主要讲述了科学家发现很多儿童摄入的饮用水不足，这可能会对他们的健康构成威胁，由此可知本文最有可能出自报纸的健康版块。
D
Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
32. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers
A．Price. B．Safety.
C．Freshness. D．Variety.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.”可知，有机食品的消费者主要关注安全。
33. What is the doctors' suggestion
A．Grow your own food.
B．Reduce the use of pesticides.
C．Make sure the food is clean.
D．Buy large companies' products.
解析：选C 推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.”可知，医生的建议应该是确保食物干净。
34．Which of the following do most people agree on organic food
A．It tastes better.
B．It is easier to grow.
C．It contains more fat.
D．It is more nutritious.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.”可知，大部分人认为有机食品尝起来更好吃。
35．Where does this text probably come from
A．A health magazine.
B．A medical report.
C．A chemistry paper.
D．A menu of a restaurant.
解析：选A 文章出处题。文章讨论了有机食品的价格、营养、味道等问题，因此本文很可能出自健康杂志。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何在紧张的日常安排中有效地阅读书籍，保持阅读的兴趣给出了建议。
36．选G 根据上一句“How to fit books into your tight schedule？”可知，下文的内容应是对此问题的回答，结合下文内容对如何安排时间阅读书籍的建议，据此可知G项“以下是如何为你最喜欢的翻页小说腾出更多时间的方法”符合语境。
37．选D 根据前文“Borrow more books than you can consume.Libraries have extremely large ‘limits’ on items you can check out.”，再结合下文“Return anything you don't get to.”可知，此处说借书的时候要借多一些并且是你感兴趣的，因此D项“所以，疯狂地抓住任何看起来有趣的东西吧”适合承上启下，符合语境。
38．选A 根据下文“ If you have a whole morning to read, you might want some variety.People who read a lot have something going to satisfy all appetites.”可知，在同一时间可以阅读不止一本书籍。A项中的“at a time (同一时间)”对应“a whole morning (一整个早上)”；“more than one book (不止一本书)”对应“all appetites (所有的胃口/欲望)”，由此可知A项“一次阅读多本书”符合语境。
39．选E 根据上文“If you feel you have to finish all the books you start, you may get caught up on something boring and not read again for weeks.”可知，如果开始读的书必须读完，你会觉得很无聊然后放弃；结合本段建议的“Try the 50 page rule.”以及下文“You'll find something else you love more soon.”可知，阅读可以试一下读50页的规则，如果觉得无聊的话就会读一点就放弃，可以更快地去找更感兴趣的读物。因此E项“如果你不感兴趣的话，在读了几十页就可以放弃了”适合承上启下，符合语境。
40．选B 根据下文“ If you're only reading because you ‘should’ read, then over time, reading will drop from the top of your list down to laundry level or going to the dentist.”可知，如果做一件事是承受痛苦的，那么是做不好的，因此B项“人类不能忍受长期的痛苦做好事情”符合语境。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation.The key to__56__(keep) the peace is regular and honest__57__(communicate)．When you disagree with your parents, take a minute__58__(calm) down and try to understand the situation from their point of view.Perhaps they have experienced something similar__59__do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought __60__through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen__61__(care), and address their concerns.__62__this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.
Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent child tensions create, and__63__you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.The good news is that this __64__(storm) period will not last.Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for__65__(adult)．
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。青少年怎样与父母相处？文章给出了解决与父母之间矛盾的一些建议。
56．keeping 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配the key to doing sth 意为“做……的关键”，to是介词，后跟动名词作宾语，故填keeping。
57．communication 考查词性转换。空格前是形容词honest，修饰后面的名词作定语。故填communication。
58．to calm 考查非谓语动词。短语take time to do sth 意为“花费时间做某事”，动词不定式作time的后置定语，故填to calm。
59．and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，这是一个并列谓语的简单句，前后谓语动词用同一个主语且表示并列关系，故填and。
60．it 考查代词。think sth through意为“仔细思考某事”，代词it指代当自己与父母有不同意见时，试着站在他们的角度来理解，即指上文提到的内容，所以是指代句子，故填it。
61．carefully 考查词性转换。副词carefully意为“仔细地”，修饰动词listen作状语，故填carefully。
62．Through 考查介词。介词through意为“通过……”，名词discussion作宾语。置句首单词首字母大写，故填Through。
63．that 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，谓语动词remember后跟并列宾语从句，and是并列remember后的宾语从句，且从句中不缺少成分，句意完整，因此该从句用连接词that引导，故填that。
64．stormy 考查词性转换。空后为名词，此处应填形容词修饰后面的period，故填stormy。
65．adulthood 考查词性转换。介词 for后应填名词，adult本就是名词，但是根据句意，应该是讲为成年人阶段做准备，故填adulthood。

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。
On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger.He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard, and he was of average stature.
His eyes were what struck me the most about him, they were brown and they had a sparkle.Like an inside light that was beaming out of his eyes.His eyes, I thought, represented the man in general.People say they can talk a lot from a person's eyes.It was certainly true in his case.He always waved at every car, he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him.A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp.He had that effect.
I'd quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same, “I'm blessed！”
I knew what his answer was going to be every time, yet I would still ask.It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive, and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids, with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.
Then one day I was called into my boss's office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.A feeling of worry overcame me, and for the rest of that day all I could think of was “How am I going to provide for my kids, how am I going to pay rent, what am I going to do？”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled over to my car.
参考范文：
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset.Still processing what had happened, I didn't even remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn't feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others.I'd hoped to catch the green light, but I missed it.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled over to my car.With a big smile, he looked me straight in the eyes and said “Today I'll give you a dollar”．He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar.I was touched and burst into tears.What he gave me was more than a dollar bill, but a valuable lesson.No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful.I know I am blessed.

Bill Bowerman was a track coach. He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learnt how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971.Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.
To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbara's jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern.He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.
Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles(华夫饼) for breakfast. Bill watched her cook.
He studied the criss cross pattern on a waffle iron.
Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it.
When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron—and the Waffle Trainer was born.
Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974.It was a huge hit. Maybe you've heard of that company—it's called Nike. And today it's worth around D|S100 billion.
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life—and helped turn Nike into a well known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.
24. What shortcomings did the old style running shoes have
A．They were hard to wear.
B．They were too large.
C．They were impractical.
D．They were easy to break.
25. Where did Bill get the inspiration to invent the famous Waffle Trainer
A．From the skins of the fish.
B．From his wife's jewelry.
C．From the colour of the iron.
D．From his wife's cooking tools.
26．What can we learn from Bill's success
A．A cheerful wife is the joy of life.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Where there's a will, there's a way.
D．A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Waffles and Nike
B．Inspiration and Invention
C．A Great Inventor
D．A Well known Company

According to a new study, a lot of kids don't drink enough water. Erica Kenney, a scientist at Harvard's T．H. Chan School of Public Health, planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids drank at first. However, she found many kids had not enough water to drink.
Kenney and her team studied a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to 19, between the years 2009 and 2012. She noticed that more than half of the kids were dehydrated (脱水的). Boys were 76% more likely than girls to lack (缺乏) enough water. Nearly one quarter of the kids reported having no plain water.
“These findings are important because they show a potential (潜在的) health problem that has not been given a lot of attention in the past，” said Erica Kenney.
60% of the human body is made up of water. It controls the body temperature, sends oxygen all over the body, helps digestion, and performs various other tasks that keep our bodies healthy.
Not drinking enough water can lead to health problems. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you take part in physical exercise, and if you have a fever.
The United States National Agriculture Library says on average, kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from some foods that contain high amounts of water, such as melons or tomatoes, instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
“The good news is that this is a public health problem with a simple solution，” said senior author on the study and professor health sociology at Harvard University, Steven Gortmaker.“If we can focus on helping children drink more water, we will help them feel better throughout the day and do better in school.”
28．At first, Erica Kenney's study was to ________.
A．find out how much water schools offered to kids
B．test the bad effects sugary drinks have on kids
C．research how much sugary drinks kids drank
D．figure out whether kids like drinking sugary water
29．After the study, Erica Kenney found that ________.
A．most kids have health problems
B．many kids don't drink enough water
C．girls drink more sugary drinks than boys
D．lacking enough water can be bad for kids' health
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to Steven Gortmaker
A．It is just a simple health problem for kids to be dehydrated.
B．The more water kids drink, the better grades they will get.
C．Everyone has to drink 14 cups of water every day.
D．Kids can benefit from drinking more water.
31．In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage
A．Science. B．Education.
C．Health. D．Economy.
D
Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
32. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers
A．Price. B．Safety.
C．Freshness. D．Variety.
33. What is the doctors' suggestion
A．Grow your own food.
B．Reduce the use of pesticides.
C．Make sure the food is clean.
D．Buy large companies' products.
34．Which of the following do most people agree on organic food
A．It tastes better.
B．It is easier to grow.
C．It contains more fat.
D．It is more nutritious.
35．Where does this text probably come from
A．A health magazine.
B．A medical report.
C．A chemistry paper.
D．A menu of a restaurant.
