Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events,concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.)costs ￡118.15 ￡169.15 at . A week later,the same room costs ￡118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booked two months in advance,the cheapest room at the Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September is ￡95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel is ￡75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room costs just ￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for ￡420 for five days in late September,with the room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London's “Boris bikes”have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving on public transport or car parking.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle(casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours)and Cardiff(free for up to 30 minutes,or ￡5 per day).

The past two years, instead of my favourite maple- frosted donut (枫糖霜甜甜圈)cake, I had one birthday request from my family—hiking and a picnic together. Thankfully, it was my special day, so they only rolled their eyes and sighed once and then agreed to come along—exploring new places and discovering hidden waterfalls.
That was the past two years. That's not today.
Today is my birthday, and I'm on the other side of the world. I wish that I could hang out with my family and friends in the US. Just for today—on my birthday.
We are “lonely internationals”. It's hard. I won't pretend it's not.
My mother, “Nana” to my four boys, tells me regularly how she has missed almost all of her grandsons' birthday celebrations. She intentionally(有意地) connects with them through texts and FaceTime on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and see the kids blow out their candles.
However, that is not the same as “being there” physically together. She feels like she misses our major life milestones called “birthdays”.
Today, I'm okay. My mother had made an e-card for me, sent to my email box early this morning. She never forgets. My in-laws, my sister and her family, my sweet friend in France, and my dear friends here in Spain and over there in the US have already wished me “Happy Birthday” online. Some even mailed me cards and gifts across the sea.
The only “gifts” I'm missing are maple-frosted donuts for a birthday cake. My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she travelled to visit me. However, after a 20-hour trip across the sea, they weren't so fresh anymore.
Tonight, we will have a special dinner outside on our back porch in the cool, evening air. I will blow out a lot of candles on my birthday cake.
I am happy. I have breath, life, a heartbeat, and deep inner joy from the love of my family and friends around the world.

A.By hanging out with her friends.
B.By eating her favourite birthday cake.
C.By travelling to new places on her own.

A.Singing “Happy Birthday”.
B.Feeling faraway on one's birthdays.
C.Celebrating others' birthdays online.
D.Connecting with people through texts.
6.What did the author's mother do to celebrate her birthday this year
A.She sent her an e-card.
B.She made her a hand-written card.
C.She travelled long hours to visit her.
D.She sent her some maple-frosted donuts.
7.What did the author think of her birthday this year
A.It was full of surprises.
B.It brought more sadness than happiness.
C.It made her feel loved and remembered.
D.It was a sign of being faraway from those she loves.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
8.The writer of this passage must be .
A.an American B.a Chinese
C.a professor D.a student
9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
10.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be .
A.warmly welcomed at the airport
B.offered a ride to his home
C.treated hospitably at his home
D.treated to dinner in a restaurant
11.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “ ”.
A.Friendships between Chinese
B.Friendships between Americans
C.Americans' hospitality
D.Americans' and Chinese people's views on friendships

As with many etymologies(词源), the exact root of this word—“buck” is difficult to say with one hundred percent certainty. However, the leading theory is extremely believable and backed up by a fair bit of documented evidence. Specially, it is thought that a dollar is called “a buck” thanks to deer.
One of the earliest references of this was in 1748, 44 years before the first US dollar was created, where there is a reference to the exchange rate for a cast of alcoholic drink traded to Native Americans being “5 bucks”, referring to deerskin.
In yet another documented reference from 1748, about Conrad Weiser, while traveling through present day Ohio, noted in his journal that someone had been “robbed of the value of 300 bucks”.
At this time, a buck skin was a common medium of exchange. There is also evident that “a buck” didn't simply mean one piece of deerskin, but may have meant multiple skins, depending on quality. For instance, skins from deer killed in the winter were considered superior to those killed in the summer, due to the fur being thicker. It is thought that the highest quality skins generally had a one to one value at a single buck. The specific value for given sets of skins was then set at trading. In addition, when the skin was from another animal, the number of skins required to equal a buck varied based on the animal and the quality of the skins. For instance, there is one documented trade where twelve high-quality rabbit skin equaled one buck.
This use of skins as a medium of exchange gradually die out over the next century as more and more Europeans moved in and built towns and cities. Once the US dollar was officially introduced after the passing of the Coinage Act of 1792, it quickly became the leading item used as a medium of exchange, but the term “buck” stuck around and by the mid-nineteenth century was being used as an informal term for the dollar.
12.It can be inferred from the text that .
A.the first dollar was made from deerskin
B.a skin from any animal was valued at a buck
C.the quality of deerskin varied with the change of seasons
D.deerskin was the only medium for trading in the 1970s
13.When did the use of skins as a common medium of exchange die out
A.As more and more Europeans settled in America.
B.When the Coinage Act of 1792 was passed.
C.When the bucks died out in the 1950s.
D.As the US dollar was officially introduced.
14.The author develops this text mainly by .
A.analyzing causes
B.following the order of importance
C.making comparison
D.following the order of time
15.The text is mainly about .
A.when the dollar first appeared
B.why a dollar is called “a buck”
C.what a dollar was worth in the past
D.how the word “dollar” came into being

Gaining an understanding of other cultures benefits both you and other people by deepening your understanding of how different people are. 16 You can do research via the Internet or the local library, get to know other cultures in your community, and travel whenever possible.
Read online news sources. 17 Subscribe to newspapers from that culture online to know more about what they are reading. Browse websites with data on entertainment, outings, politics, or trends.

There are many channels on YouTube dedicated to a specific culture or some aspects of a culture. 20 Type into the YouTube search bar things such as “Learn about French culture” or “What do people in India commonly eat”.

Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记) in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. I didn't know anybody in my class. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. I was already confused because in India the teachers switch according to periods while most of the students have the same class periods.
With anxiety on the one hand and fear on the other, I reached for the door knob, opening it slowly. Everyone's eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel more comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn't have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door instead of the corner where all of the boys were sitting. I didn't actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
Since it was my first day, I was confused which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. It was noon. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It's still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.”
Paragraph 2:
The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者身处异国他乡,过生日的感受与以往有很大的不同。
4.D 细节理解题。由第一段中的The past two years, instead of my favourite maple-frosted donut cake, I had one birthday request from my family—hiking and a picnic together.可知,前两年作者和家人一起远足野餐来庆祝生日。因此选D项。
5.C 推理判断题。画线词所在段落的上一段讲述了作者母亲远程给外孙庆祝生日的方式,画线词所在句出现转折,说明那种方式与亲自在场庆祝生日不同。因此可推断,that指代通过网络远程庆祝生日。
6.A 细节理解题。由第七段中的My mother had made an e-card for me, sent to my email box early this morning.可知,今年作者生日时,作者的母亲给她发了一张电子贺卡庆祝她的生日,A项正确,同时显然B项错误;由倒数第三段中的My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she travelled to visit me.可以判断C、D两项错误。
7.C 推理判断题。由第七段和最后一段可知,今年生日时,作者的亲朋好友纷纷用各种方式从远方送来祝福,作者很开心,并为收到家人和朋友的爱感到喜悦。因此,今年的生日让作者感到被爱和被挂念。因此选C项。

3.pretend v.假装 4.regularly adv.经常;有规律地 5.on one's own独自;单独;独立地
长难句分析
原句 She intentionally(有意地) connects with them through texts and FaceTime on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and see the kids blow out their candles.
分析 so that在句中引导目的状语从句,意思为“以便于”。该状语从句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词,即can join和(can)see。
句意 她有意地在他们生日的时候与他们通过短信和FaceTime联系,以便于她可以和我们一起唱“生日快乐”歌,并且看到孩子们吹灭蜡烛。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比介绍了中美之间交友的特点和观念的差异。
8.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand以及文中多处出现的“we”,可以推断这是一个中国人写的文章。故选B项。
9.D 推理判断题。 根据第一段中的This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.判断,A、B都是中国人交友的特点。再根据第三段中的they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time判断C项描述错误。根据第一段中的If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.可知D项正确。
10.C 细节理解题。根据第三、四段的描述可知美国人比较吝惜时间,你需要自己操劳没到他们家之前的其他事;一旦到了他们家里,他们就会很热情。A、B、D三个选项与原文不符。故选C项。

【高频词汇】 1.by chance偶然 2.extend v.延伸 3.include v.允许(某人)加入(活动);包括;包含 4.a great deal of大量的 5.generous adj.慷慨的,大方的 6.manage v.明智地使用(金钱或时间);完成(困难的事) 7.routine n.常规;正常顺序
长难句分析
原句 Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.
分析 该句是一个主从复合句,is后面的that引导表语从句。该表语从句中含有一个由although引导的让步状语从句;同时,该让步状语从句对应的主句中又含有一个由if引导的条件状语从句。
句意 我们中国人理解美国人的另一个难点是,虽然他们热情地允许我们加入他们个人的日常生活,但如果需要(花费)大量的时间,他们没有表现出礼貌。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一美元被称为“a buck”的原因。
12.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的For instance, skin from deer killed in the winter were considered superior to those killed in the summer, due to the fur being thicker.可知,冬季被杀的鹿的鹿皮比夏季的鹿皮好,因为毛发更厚实,即鹿皮的质量因季节的变化而有所不同。A、B两项文中未出现;根据文章最后一段可以判断D项与原文不符。故选C项。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知,当越来越多的欧洲人定居美国后,毛皮作为交易媒介的作用也逐渐消失了。故选A项。
14.D 推理判断题。由文章中的年份可知该篇文章是从buck这一词的开始到最终不再使用展开介绍,故文章是按时间顺序来说明buck的词源的。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句 Specially, it is thought that a dollar is called “a buck” thanks to deer.以及下文主要讲述buck作为物物交换的媒介,可知本文在说明一美元被称为“a buck”的缘由。A、C、D三个选项与文章主旨不符。故选B项。
【高频词汇】 1.certainty n.确定性,确实;确实的事
2.reference n.文献;参考 3.exchange n.& v.兑换;交换;交流
4.medium n.媒介 adj.中等的 5.multiple adj.数量多的,多种多样的 6.superior to(在品质上)更好;比……占优势 7.in addition此外 8.die out灭绝;消失
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。学习其他国家的文化是一种极其宝贵的体验。了解其他国家的文化对你和其他人都有好处。本文讲述了了解其他国家文化的一些方法与途径。
16.D 本句是个过渡句,起承上启下的作用。根据本段第一句Learning about other cultures is an invaluable experience.(了解其他国家的文化是一种极其宝贵的体验。)可知,本段应该谈论了解其他国家文化的话题,故D项“获取有关其他国家文化的知识有很多途径”符合题意。同时和下文的每段段首句相呼应。
17.B 根据第三段的首句Follow social media about your chosen culture.中的 chosen culture“被选择的文化”可知本空应该是选择你想了解的文化,故B项符合题意,其中的 Choose cultures与第三段首句相呼应。
18.G 设空处上一句说到了互联网使世界变得越来越小了,变得越来越容易接近,所以此处应是说这种现象的具体表现,即你可以在一些社交媒体上发现来自全国各地文化的人,故G项符合题意,且G项中的“Facebook, Twitter, Instagram” 和本段首句中的“social media”是相吻合的。
19.A 本段建议在网上问一些问题。故A项“发布问题并等待答复”符合上下文语境。误解分析:本题容易错选C项或者E项,因为这两项中都有Ask,很容易造成错选。但是做此题时需要看上一句“看看当地社区和接受问题或对话的论坛”可知,看完这些之后应该发布问题等待其他人的答复。上下文并没有提示信息说明具体问什么内容。
20.F 根据本段第一句Look up YouTube videos.可知, YouTube是个视频网站,F项中的“these videos(这些视频)”与“YouTube videos”是相呼应的。故选F项。
【高频词汇】 1.invaluable adj.无价的 2.subscribe to订阅 3.accessible adj.可接近的;可到达的 4.interaction n.互动;相互作用 5.dedicated adj.专用的;专门用途的;专心致志的;一心一意的 6.response n.回答;答复

21.A 句意:他们吃的东西和我们最喜欢的电视节目里的人物吃的东西一样。eat吃;mix混合;keep保持;buy买。由上文的I was envious of my friends who got to stay at school for lunch.和下文的The meals we ate at home were different.可知,作为中国人的作者在家吃的与朋友不一样,他羡慕朋友们在学校吃饭,因为朋友们吃的东西和他们最喜欢的电视节目里的人物吃的东西一样。故选A项。
22.B 句意:我愣住了,感觉自己被抓住了。quit停止;freeze停住不动;fall落下;change改变。由下文的feeling like I'd been caught可知,当被问及“午餐吃什么”时,作者感觉自己被抓住了,这是一种“愣住”的感觉。故选B项。
23.C 句意:当我转过身去,我感觉我的脸都热了,希望她不要再问我什么。figure计算;agree同意;hope希望;regret后悔。由上文的My face felt hot as I turned away可知,作者此时很尴尬,自然希望同学不要再问下去了。故选C项。
24.B 句意:尽管如此,一年中有一天,妈妈破例让我们留在学校吃午饭。excuse借口;exception例外;impression印象;appointment约会。由全文可知,作者一般在家里吃饭,所以他羡慕在食堂吃饭的同学,但在食堂庆祝中国新年的那一天,妈妈却让作者在食堂吃饭,这是一种破例的行为,固定短语make an exception(破例)。故选B项。
25.C 句意:每年,中国节时,食堂都会庆祝中国新年。create创造;save节约;celebrate庆祝;guide引导。由下文的The school is honoring our heritage和下文语境可知,食堂为了纪念中国传统,在中国节时会做中餐来庆祝中国新年。故选C项。
26.A 句意:我能记得的第一次中国节午餐是在我六岁的时候。remember记得;discover发现;order命令;serve服务。由下文语境可知,此处指作者回忆6岁时他第一次在学校吃中国节午餐的情景。故选A项。
27.D 句意:我期待这一天好几个星期了。put up with忍受;look out for留心;come up with想出;look forward to期待。由上文语境可知,作者一直羡慕在食堂吃饭的同学,妈妈难得破例一次,所以作者很期待这一天。故选D项。
28.B 句意:当我排队时,我想象着他们(食堂工作人员)为我们准备的饭。programme项目;meal一顿饭;seat座位;guest客人。由上文语境可知,作者终于等到了这一天,排队时,想象着为他们准备的饭。故选B项。
29.D 句意:当然会有鱼——每一顿中国年夜饭都包括鱼。chicken鸡,鸡肉;beef牛肉;bacon熏猪肉;fish鱼,鱼肉。由下文的every Chinese New Year meal included fish可知,当然会有鱼。故选D项。

34.A 句意:他们称这是“中国式”午餐,那为什么我以前从未见过 see看见;miss想念;use使用;read阅读。由上文语境可知,作者没认出来餐盘里的食物是中餐,所以对于所谓的“中国式”午餐,作者以前应该是没见过的,否则他认得出来。故选A项。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了春节和春节的庆祝。
36.called 考查过去分词。句意:庆祝中国新年,也叫春节,产生于恐惧和神话。设空处作后置定语,修饰名词Chinese New Year,且Chinese New Year与call之间为被动关系,故填 called。
37.that/which 考查定语从句。句意:传说野兽年(也就是“年”这个词)每年年底出来攻击村民。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the wild beast Nian,且在从句中作主语,故填关系代词that或者 which。

45.and 考查并列连词。句意:庆祝活动持续一整天,有时一家人会为亲戚们做两顿饭,一顿是午餐,一顿是晚餐。根据设空处前的a family ends up cooking two meals for relatives可知,once at lunch和once at dinner是并列关系,而非选择关系,故填and。

Dear Peter,
How is your life in the Confucius Institute You said you wanted to give your Chinese teacher a gift for the coming Spring Festival. I think I can help you and I will give you some advice.
As for your teacher, I suggest you present him with a pen, which is the gift we often give our teachers. Besides, a cup is also a good choice as a gift for your teacher. You don't have to spend much money because it is only a way to show your love for your teacher. I hope my advice can be of great help.
Wish you a happy Chinese Spring Festival!I'm looking forward to seeing you after the Spring Festival.
Yours sincerely,

故事 要素 Time On the first day of my high school in America
Place Classroom
Characters I (a student from India), the teacher
Reason The differences between America and India
情节 Beginning 一个来自印度的转学学生第一次去美国上学。由于美国的教学模式与印度的不同,他错过了第一节课。第一节课下课后,他才找到教室。
Development 第二节课美国教师所用的现代设备是他没有接触过的,他不知道什么时候吃饭,他又不愿意问同学,因此出现了尴尬。
续写 方向 Para. 1 She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.” ① “我”向老师道歉,继续上课; ② 美国不一样的教学模式、先进的教学理念深深吸引着 “我”,回家路上不一样的美妙风景使“我”对新生活产生了憧憬,“我”爱上了这里的一切。
Para. 2 The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them. ①老师们有一个有趣的方法,把困难的事情简化到一个三岁的孩子都能做; ② 在老师和同学的帮助下,“我”获得自信; ③“我”的学业取得了进步,并喜欢上了美国的校园生活。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.” I apologized in a soft voice. My class continued. On the way back home, I saw the western sky color up slowly, painting feather-like clouds in singular shades of neon pinks and purples and greys. With modern technology and enthusiastic Americans, no matter how unfitted and unfamiliar I was, there was no denying that how fascinating the life in America was. Woken by dreams, going to bed contentedly every day, I had come to love my life here. Such was my first school life in America, totally different from that in India.
Paragraph 2:
The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them.Unintelligent as I was, they guided me to the right way of learning. It was the teachers and classmates that became the people who I wouldn't be able to function without. Day in and day out, I immersed myself in the sea of knowledge and was bathed in the atmosphere of confidence, which bettered my values and morals and led me to a brand-new future.

Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events,concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.)costs ￡118.15 ￡169.15 at . A week later,the same room costs ￡118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booked two months in advance,the cheapest room at the Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September is ￡95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel is ￡75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room costs just ￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for ￡420 for five days in late September,with the room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London's “Boris bikes”have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving on public transport or car parking.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle(casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours)and Cardiff(free for up to 30 minutes,or ￡5 per day).

The past two years, instead of my favourite maple- frosted donut (枫糖霜甜甜圈)cake, I had one birthday request from my family—hiking and a picnic together. Thankfully, it was my special day, so they only rolled their eyes and sighed once and then agreed to come along—exploring new places and discovering hidden waterfalls.
That was the past two years. That's not today.
Today is my birthday, and I'm on the other side of the world. I wish that I could hang out with my family and friends in the US. Just for today—on my birthday.
We are “lonely internationals”. It's hard. I won't pretend it's not.
My mother, “Nana” to my four boys, tells me regularly how she has missed almost all of her grandsons' birthday celebrations. She intentionally(有意地) connects with them through texts and FaceTime on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and see the kids blow out their candles.
However, that is not the same as “being there” physically together. She feels like she misses our major life milestones called “birthdays”.
Today, I'm okay. My mother had made an e-card for me, sent to my email box early this morning. She never forgets. My in-laws, my sister and her family, my sweet friend in France, and my dear friends here in Spain and over there in the US have already wished me “Happy Birthday” online. Some even mailed me cards and gifts across the sea.
The only “gifts” I'm missing are maple-frosted donuts for a birthday cake. My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she travelled to visit me. However, after a 20-hour trip across the sea, they weren't so fresh anymore.
Tonight, we will have a special dinner outside on our back porch in the cool, evening air. I will blow out a lot of candles on my birthday cake.
I am happy. I have breath, life, a heartbeat, and deep inner joy from the love of my family and friends around the world.

A.She sent her an e-card.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
8.The writer of this passage must be .
A.an American B.a Chinese
C.a professor D.a student
9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
10.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be .
A.warmly welcomed at the airport
B.offered a ride to his home
C.treated hospitably at his home
D.treated to dinner in a restaurant
11.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “ ”.
A.Friendships between Chinese
B.Friendships between Americans
C.Americans' hospitality
D.Americans' and Chinese people's views on friendships

As with many etymologies(词源), the exact root of this word—“buck” is difficult to say with one hundred percent certainty. However, the leading theory is extremely believable and backed up by a fair bit of documented evidence. Specially, it is thought that a dollar is called “a buck” thanks to deer.
One of the earliest references of this was in 1748, 44 years before the first US dollar was created, where there is a reference to the exchange rate for a cast of alcoholic drink traded to Native Americans being “5 bucks”, referring to deerskin.
In yet another documented reference from 1748, about Conrad Weiser, while traveling through present day Ohio, noted in his journal that someone had been “robbed of the value of 300 bucks”.
At this time, a buck skin was a common medium of exchange. There is also evident that “a buck” didn't simply mean one piece of deerskin, but may have meant multiple skins, depending on quality. For instance, skins from deer killed in the winter were considered superior to those killed in the summer, due to the fur being thicker. It is thought that the highest quality skins generally had a one to one value at a single buck. The specific value for given sets of skins was then set at trading. In addition, when the skin was from another animal, the number of skins required to equal a buck varied based on the animal and the quality of the skins. For instance, there is one documented trade where twelve high-quality rabbit skin equaled one buck.
This use of skins as a medium of exchange gradually die out over the next century as more and more Europeans moved in and built towns and cities. Once the US dollar was officially introduced after the passing of the Coinage Act of 1792, it quickly became the leading item used as a medium of exchange, but the term “buck” stuck around and by the mid-nineteenth century was being used as an informal term for the dollar.
12.It can be inferred from the text that .
A.the first dollar was made from deerskin
B.a skin from any animal was valued at a buck
C.the quality of deerskin varied with the change of seasons
D.deerskin was the only medium for trading in the 1970s
13.When did the use of skins as a common medium of exchange die out
A.As more and more Europeans settled in America.
B.When the Coinage Act of 1792 was passed.
C.When the bucks died out in the 1950s.
D.As the US dollar was officially introduced.
14.The author develops this text mainly by .
A.analyzing causes
B.following the order of importance
C.making comparison
D.following the order of time
15.The text is mainly about .
A.when the dollar first appeared
B.why a dollar is called “a buck”
C.what a dollar was worth in the past
D.how the word “dollar” came into being

Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记) in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. I didn't know anybody in my class. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. I was already confused because in India the teachers switch according to periods while most of the students have the same class periods.
With anxiety on the one hand and fear on the other, I reached for the door knob, opening it slowly. Everyone's eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel more comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn't have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door instead of the corner where all of the boys were sitting. I didn't actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
Since it was my first day, I was confused which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. It was noon. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It's still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.”
Paragraph 2:
The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者身处异国他乡,过生日的感受与以往有很大的不同。
4.D 细节理解题。由第一段中的The past two years, instead of my favourite maple-frosted donut cake, I had one birthday request from my family—hiking and a picnic together.可知,前两年作者和家人一起远足野餐来庆祝生日。因此选D项。
5.C 推理判断题。画线词所在段落的上一段讲述了作者母亲远程给外孙庆祝生日的方式,画线词所在句出现转折,说明那种方式与亲自在场庆祝生日不同。因此可推断,that指代通过网络远程庆祝生日。
6.A 细节理解题。由第七段中的My mother had made an e-card for me, sent to my email box early this morning.可知,今年作者生日时,作者的母亲给她发了一张电子贺卡庆祝她的生日,A项正确,同时显然B项错误;由倒数第三段中的My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she travelled to visit me.可以判断C、D两项错误。
7.C 推理判断题。由第七段和最后一段可知,今年生日时,作者的亲朋好友纷纷用各种方式从远方送来祝福,作者很开心,并为收到家人和朋友的爱感到喜悦。因此,今年的生日让作者感到被爱和被挂念。因此选C项。
【高频词汇】 1.explore v.探索;考察 2.hang out闲逛
3.pretend v.假装 4.regularly adv.经常;有规律地 5.on one's own独自;单独;独立地
长难句分析
原句 She intentionally(有意地) connects with them through texts and FaceTime on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and see the kids blow out their candles.
分析 so that在句中引导目的状语从句,意思为“以便于”。该状语从句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词,即can join和(can)see。
句意 她有意地在他们生日的时候与他们通过短信和FaceTime联系,以便于她可以和我们一起唱“生日快乐”歌,并且看到孩子们吹灭蜡烛。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比介绍了中美之间交友的特点和观念的差异。
8.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand以及文中多处出现的“we”,可以推断这是一个中国人写的文章。故选B项。
9.D 推理判断题。 根据第一段中的This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.判断,A、B都是中国人交友的特点。再根据第三段中的they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time判断C项描述错误。根据第一段中的If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.可知D项正确。
10.C 细节理解题。根据第三、四段的描述可知美国人比较吝惜时间,你需要自己操劳没到他们家之前的其他事;一旦到了他们家里,他们就会很热情。A、B、D三个选项与原文不符。故选C项。
11.D 主旨大意题。文章通篇都在通过对比的方式来介绍中国人和美国人不同的交友观念。故选D项。
【高频词汇】 1.by chance偶然 2.extend v.延伸 3.include v.允许(某人)加入(活动);包括;包含 4.a great deal of大量的 5.generous adj.慷慨的,大方的 6.manage v.明智地使用(金钱或时间);完成(困难的事) 7.routine n.常规;正常顺序
长难句分析
原句 Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.
分析 该句是一个主从复合句,is后面的that引导表语从句。该表语从句中含有一个由although引导的让步状语从句;同时,该让步状语从句对应的主句中又含有一个由if引导的条件状语从句。
句意 我们中国人理解美国人的另一个难点是,虽然他们热情地允许我们加入他们个人的日常生活,但如果需要(花费)大量的时间,他们没有表现出礼貌。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一美元被称为“a buck”的原因。
12.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的For instance, skin from deer killed in the winter were considered superior to those killed in the summer, due to the fur being thicker.可知,冬季被杀的鹿的鹿皮比夏季的鹿皮好,因为毛发更厚实,即鹿皮的质量因季节的变化而有所不同。A、B两项文中未出现;根据文章最后一段可以判断D项与原文不符。故选C项。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知,当越来越多的欧洲人定居美国后,毛皮作为交易媒介的作用也逐渐消失了。故选A项。
14.D 推理判断题。由文章中的年份可知该篇文章是从buck这一词的开始到最终不再使用展开介绍,故文章是按时间顺序来说明buck的词源的。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句 Specially, it is thought that a dollar is called “a buck” thanks to deer.以及下文主要讲述buck作为物物交换的媒介,可知本文在说明一美元被称为“a buck”的缘由。A、C、D三个选项与文章主旨不符。故选B项。
【高频词汇】 1.certainty n.确定性,确实;确实的事
2.reference n.文献;参考 3.exchange n.& v.兑换;交换;交流
4.medium n.媒介 adj.中等的 5.multiple adj.数量多的,多种多样的 6.superior to(在品质上)更好;比……占优势 7.in addition此外 8.die out灭绝;消失
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。学习其他国家的文化是一种极其宝贵的体验。了解其他国家的文化对你和其他人都有好处。本文讲述了了解其他国家文化的一些方法与途径。
16.D 本句是个过渡句,起承上启下的作用。根据本段第一句Learning about other cultures is an invaluable experience.(了解其他国家的文化是一种极其宝贵的体验。)可知,本段应该谈论了解其他国家文化的话题,故D项“获取有关其他国家文化的知识有很多途径”符合题意。同时和下文的每段段首句相呼应。
17.B 根据第三段的首句Follow social media about your chosen culture.中的 chosen culture“被选择的文化”可知本空应该是选择你想了解的文化,故B项符合题意,其中的 Choose cultures与第三段首句相呼应。
18.G 设空处上一句说到了互联网使世界变得越来越小了,变得越来越容易接近,所以此处应是说这种现象的具体表现,即你可以在一些社交媒体上发现来自全国各地文化的人,故G项符合题意,且G项中的“Facebook, Twitter, Instagram” 和本段首句中的“social media”是相吻合的。
19.A 本段建议在网上问一些问题。故A项“发布问题并等待答复”符合上下文语境。误解分析:本题容易错选C项或者E项,因为这两项中都有Ask,很容易造成错选。但是做此题时需要看上一句“看看当地社区和接受问题或对话的论坛”可知,看完这些之后应该发布问题等待其他人的答复。上下文并没有提示信息说明具体问什么内容。
20.F 根据本段第一句Look up YouTube videos.可知, YouTube是个视频网站,F项中的“these videos(这些视频)”与“YouTube videos”是相呼应的。故选F项。
【高频词汇】 1.invaluable adj.无价的 2.subscribe to订阅 3.accessible adj.可接近的;可到达的 4.interaction n.互动;相互作用 5.dedicated adj.专用的;专门用途的;专心致志的;一心一意的 6.response n.回答;答复

21.A 句意:他们吃的东西和我们最喜欢的电视节目里的人物吃的东西一样。eat吃;mix混合;keep保持;buy买。由上文的I was envious of my friends who got to stay at school for lunch.和下文的The meals we ate at home were different.可知,作为中国人的作者在家吃的与朋友不一样,他羡慕朋友们在学校吃饭,因为朋友们吃的东西和他们最喜欢的电视节目里的人物吃的东西一样。故选A项。

24.B 句意:尽管如此,一年中有一天,妈妈破例让我们留在学校吃午饭。excuse借口;exception例外;impression印象;appointment约会。由全文可知,作者一般在家里吃饭,所以他羡慕在食堂吃饭的同学,但在食堂庆祝中国新年的那一天,妈妈却让作者在食堂吃饭,这是一种破例的行为,固定短语make an exception(破例)。故选B项。
25.C 句意:每年,中国节时,食堂都会庆祝中国新年。create创造;save节约;celebrate庆祝;guide引导。由下文的The school is honoring our heritage和下文语境可知,食堂为了纪念中国传统,在中国节时会做中餐来庆祝中国新年。故选C项。

33.D 句意:我几乎什么都认不出来。improve提高;understand理解;observe观察;recognize认出。由下文语境可知,作者从未见过这样的中餐,很困惑,说明作者没认出来餐盘里的食物是中餐。故选D项。
34.A 句意:他们称这是“中国式”午餐,那为什么我以前从未见过 see看见;miss想念;use使用;read阅读。由上文语境可知,作者没认出来餐盘里的食物是中餐,所以对于所谓的“中国式”午餐,作者以前应该是没见过的,否则他认得出来。故选A项。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了春节和春节的庆祝。
36.called 考查过去分词。句意:庆祝中国新年,也叫春节,产生于恐惧和神话。设空处作后置定语,修饰名词Chinese New Year,且Chinese New Year与call之间为被动关系,故填 called。
37.that/which 考查定语从句。句意:传说野兽年(也就是“年”这个词)每年年底出来攻击村民。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the wild beast Nian,且在从句中作主语,故填关系代词that或者 which。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
How is your life in the Confucius Institute You said you wanted to give your Chinese teacher a gift for the coming Spring Festival. I think I can help you and I will give you some advice.
As for your teacher, I suggest you present him with a pen, which is the gift we often give our teachers. Besides, a cup is also a good choice as a gift for your teacher. You don't have to spend much money because it is only a way to show your love for your teacher. I hope my advice can be of great help.
Wish you a happy Chinese Spring Festival!I'm looking forward to seeing you after the Spring Festival.
Yours sincerely,

故事 要素 Time On the first day of my high school in America
Place Classroom
Characters I (a student from India), the teacher
Reason The differences between America and India
情节 Beginning 一个来自印度的转学学生第一次去美国上学。由于美国的教学模式与印度的不同,他错过了第一节课。第一节课下课后,他才找到教室。
Development 第二节课美国教师所用的现代设备是他没有接触过的,他不知道什么时候吃饭,他又不愿意问同学,因此出现了尴尬。
续写 方向 Para. 1 She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.” ① “我”向老师道歉,继续上课; ② 美国不一样的教学模式、先进的教学理念深深吸引着 “我”,回家路上不一样的美妙风景使“我”对新生活产生了憧憬,“我”爱上了这里的一切。
Para. 2 The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them. ①老师们有一个有趣的方法,把困难的事情简化到一个三岁的孩子都能做; ② 在老师和同学的帮助下,“我”获得自信; ③“我”的学业取得了进步,并喜欢上了美国的校园生活。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She said in anger, “That is the lunch bell.” I apologized in a soft voice. My class continued. On the way back home, I saw the western sky color up slowly, painting feather-like clouds in singular shades of neon pinks and purples and greys. With modern technology and enthusiastic Americans, no matter how unfitted and unfamiliar I was, there was no denying that how fascinating the life in America was. Woken by dreams, going to bed contentedly every day, I had come to love my life here. Such was my first school life in America, totally different from that in India.
Paragraph 2:
The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old child could do them.Unintelligent as I was, they guided me to the right way of learning. It was the teachers and classmates that became the people who I wouldn't be able to function without. Day in and day out, I immersed myself in the sea of knowledge and was bathed in the atmosphere of confidence, which bettered my values and morals and led me to a brand-new future.
