As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually in Eastern Europe, so you don't need to bring along your smartest clothing.
At the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage, we suggest you consider bringing along the following things, which we find particularly useful in Eastern Europe.
Batteries：If your camera，flash，or other appliances run on batteries，bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don't exist in Eastern Europe，and those that do often don't last very long.
Calculator: Many travelers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator. We suggest a credit-card calculator which fits into your wallet or purse.
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills ($l and $5) to use in hard-currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard-currency stores never seem to have the right change, and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash”on hand.
Electric Current Adapter: If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A．C．, not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug. Get in touch with the Franzus Company, 352 Park Ave. South, New York, NY10010 (tel.212/889-5850), and ask for their booklet, "Foreign Electricity Is No Dark Secret".
Language Tools: One of Europe's big challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go -you won't find them once you are. in Eastern Europe.
If you are interested in learning an Eastern European language in more detail, we recommend the tape course produced by Audio Forum. In each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook. You can ask Audio Forum for their catalog at 96 Broad St., Guiford, CT06437 (tel. toll free 800/243-1234).
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around (as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box.651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 6197755 -9399, or toll free 800/874-9925) outside California.
Traveler's Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler's checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.
1．Which of the following sections deal with money matters
A．Cash & Money Belt
B．Money Belt & Calculator
C．Cash & Traveler's Checks
D．Calculator & Electric Current Adapter
2．Eagle Creek Travel Gear is a company producing ______.
A．calculators B．tapes
C．electric current adapters D．money belts

本文是一篇说明文。文章作者给了我们一些去东欧旅游时应带什么东西的建议。
1．
细节理解题。根据文章Cash中的“We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills ($l and $5) to use in hard-currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc.(我们发现有小面额的美钞(1美元和5美元)供应很好，可以在硬通货商店使用，购买国际火车票等。)”和Traveler's Checks中的“These are necessary. Bring your traveler's checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.(这些是必需的。随身携带小到中等面额的旅行支票(10美元、20美元或50美元)，一次换一点，这样就不会带着很多当地货币了。为了保险起见，一定要把支票号码抄在两处，以防支票发生意外。)”可知，Cash(现金)和Traveler's Checks(旅行支票)两部分涉及到与金钱有关。故选C。
2．
细节理解题。根据文章Money Belt中的“A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around (as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box.651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 6197755 -9399, or toll free 800/874-9925) outside California. (当你有很多文件要携带时(就像你在东欧经常做的那样)，钱带特别有用。我们找到的最好的一款是Eagle Greek Travel Gear，位于加州索罗那海滩，Cedros大道143号(邮政信箱651号)，92075(电话6197755 -9399，或免费800/874-9925)。)” 可知，Eagle Creek Travel Gear是一家公司生产钱带的公司。故选D。

(我们发现有小面额的美钞(1美元和5美元)供应很好，可以在硬通货商店使用，购买国际火车票等。硬通货商店似乎从来没有合适的找零，因此，如果手头没有一些“可观的现金”，你可能会亏本)” 可知，A选择项“东欧没有商店接受硬通货”不是事实，表述错误。故选A。
When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC．
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.
6．What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about
A．Durant’s career path.
B．Durant’s hard childhood.
C．Durant’s mother’s devotion to the family.
D．Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent.
7．What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Enjoyable. B．Important.
C．Unusual. D．Hopeful.
8．What does Durant’s mother do as a motivational speaker
A．To share experience of her life and education on her son.
B．To make Durant realize the importance of financial planning.
C．To give the audience advice on how to achieve financial stability.
D．To explain that we can enjoy rewards by working hard.
9．What are the financial principles of Durant’s mom
A．Enjoying now and planning for the future.
B．Sharing rewards and creating a charity program.
C．Spending less money and saving for the emergencies.
D．Donating money to the charity and helping more schools.

本文是一则新闻报道，文章报道了NBA巨星Kevin Durant的母亲在Durant进入联盟时对他进行的金钱观的教育。
6．
细节理解题。根据第一段的“His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.（他真诚地表达了她为杜兰特和他弟弟所做的牺牲，这也促成了一部关于她作为单亲母亲的一生历程的电影——《真正的MVP：旺达·杜兰特的故事》）”可知，电影The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story主要是关于杜兰特母亲对家庭的奉献。故选C。
7．
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“he prepares for his future（他为他的未来做准备）”和“she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning（她也想确保儿子明白财务规划的重要性）”可推知，Durant母亲想让Durant知道经济上为未来做好准备也是很重要的，因此划线词的意思是“重要的”，即important，故选B。
8．
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.（如今，这位NBA巨星的母亲作为一名励志演说家和慈善家周游全国。周一，她在纽约的汤森路透上谈到了自己为实现财务稳定所做的努力，并分享了她儿子加入CNBC时她给他的理财建议）”可知，作为一个励志演说家，杜兰特的母亲主要做的是为听众提供如何实现财务稳定的建议。故选C。
9．
细节理解题。根据第三段的“While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.（虽然她建议儿子享受自己的劳动回报，但她也想确保儿子明白财务规划的重要性）”可知，杜兰特妈妈的财务原则是享受现在，规划未来。故选A。
While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears, nose, tongue and eyes should be called as special senses The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten？Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50, 000 different scents, which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate their pupils, change the focus and blur their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision, you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision, the rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also changed by the environment, diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
11．What does the example of “heavy meal and hearing” in the first paragraph prove
A．Every sensory organs has its specific function.
B．We easily fall asleep after eating a heavy meal
C．We feel the world through our eyes, ears, nose and tongue.
D．All the individual sensory organs are actually connected.
12．What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean
A．Our sense of taste becomes sharper when our tongue is dry.
B．The chemical dissolved in the saliva helps digest food eaten.
C．Saliva plays an important role in identifying the taste of food.
D．The taste buds works better when there is less saliva in the mouth.
13．Which of the following person prefers a quiet environment
A．A craftsman who is working on a diamond. B．An actor who is doing rehearsal.
C．A pilot who is flying a plane. D．An engineer who is checking machines.
14．According to the passage, how does a newborn sense his parents are with him
A．The identical genes guide him. B．He can recognize their unique smell
C．He can hear their individual voices. D．The sensor in his brain picks them out.
【答案】11．D
12．C
13．A
14．B

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了感官的功能以及感官之间所存在的某种连通性，并通过具体的例子加以了说明。
11．
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch does change after a heavy meal.(看起来这些感觉器官是独立的，但它们确实表现出了某种连通性。有趣的是，当我们吃了丰盛的食物后，我们的听力就不那么敏锐了。饱餐一顿后好好睡一觉不是很好吗？这并不是说我们在饭后就聋了，但在饱餐一顿之后，听觉的音高确实发生了变化)”可推知，第一段中“吃得多听力差”的例子说明了所有单独的感觉器官实际上是相连的。故选D。
12．
句意猜测题。根据第二段“We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten？Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue.”可知，我们通常把味道归功于我们的舌头，但是你知道吗，除非唾液溶解了某些东西，否则我们的舌头就认不出所吃食物的味道。味觉只不过是食物中的化学物质溶解在唾液中，被舌头上的味蕾感知，可见唾液在识别食物的味道中起着重要的作用，所以画线句“Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.(试着用纸巾擦干舌头和嘴巴，然后尝点东西)”真正的意思是想说唾液在识别食物的味道中起着重要的作用。故画线句意思是“唾液在识别食物的味道中起着重要的作用”。故选C。
13．
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment.(因此，外科医生、制表师和那些从事精细工作的专业人员确实更喜欢一个没有声音的环境)”可知，一个正在钻钻石的工匠更喜欢安静的环境。故选A。
14．
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. (我们每一个人都有一种独特的或个性的或特征的气味，这对我们来说是独一无二的，除了同卵双胞胎。这种气味非常微妙，但即使是新生儿也能感觉到。这可能是由于这种气味，新生儿认识到他的父母在周围)”可知，一个新生儿通过辨认父母独特的气味来感觉他的父母和他在一起。故选B。
You probably know Machu Picchu and the Taj Mahal as famous UNESCO World Heritage sites—structures and monuments of great cultural value. But what about Beijing opera Or the art of pizza-making in Naples What do these have in common
Traditions like these are known as “intangible cultural heritage”. In comparison with UNESCO World Heritage sites, intangible heritage does not include buildings like palaces and temples. Instead, it includes traditional art forms, such as music, dance, and craft-making—living traditions that are an important part of a place’s culture.
UNESCO began to identify cultural traditions in 2008. By 2017, UNESCO had approved (批准) more than 300 diverse practices. These include cultural events like the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, performing arts like Spanish flamenco, and handicrafts like Japanese washi paper-making. In 2010, UNESCO also began to include important regional cuisines, starting with French and Mexican food.
Cultural rituals (仪式) are an important part of the UNESCO list. An example is the Tlemcen wedding ceremony in Algeria. The ceremony begins in the bride’s parents’ home, where friends and female relatives help the bride prepare for the ceremony. The bride is first dressed in a golden silk dress. Before leaving the house for the ceremony, her face is wrapped in a golden silk veil (面纱). Later, during the wedding feast, the bride removes her veil, ready to be married. The tradition has passed from one generation to the next, and marks the community’s cultural identity.
Some of the cultural items on the list are dying out and in need of protection. An example is Al Sadu—a traditional form of weaving in the United Arab Emirates. The tradition was once widely practiced by communities of desert Bedouin women. However, as many Bedouins have now moved to cities, Al Sadu is mostly practiced by older women whose number is decreasing.
UNESCO hopes that by bringing attention to cultural traditions such as Al Sadu, they will be more likely to survive. “Cultural traditions are important to fight for.” says Cecile Duvelle of UNESCO. “The more globalized the world becomes,” she adds, “the more important it is not to lose these traditional roots.”
16．Which of the following could NOT be added to the intangible cultural heritage list
A．Flute music from Peru. B．A historic bridge in Paris.
C．An Irish poetry festival. D．A traditional Italian diet.
17．What can we learn from the passage
A．All of the cultural items on the UNESCO list are not well preserved.
B．The traditional weaving—Al Sadu is still popular in Bedouin culture.
C．The main ceremony of the Tlemcen wedding takes place in the bride’s parents’ home.
D．Typical regional dishes are among the first items on the UNESCO list of intangible heritage.
18.A
19．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Disappearing Cultural Traditions
B．Different Types of Cultural Practices
C．An Introduction to Intangible Heritage
D．Cultural Heritage on the UNESCO List
【答案】16．B

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非物质文化遗产的特征，以及一些非物质文化遗产正在消失，需要保护。
16．
细节理解题。根据第二段“In comparison with UNESCO World Heritage sites, intangible heritage does not include buildings like palaces and temples.Instead, it includes traditional art forms, such as music, dance, and craft-making—living traditions that are an important part of a place’s culture.”（与联合国教科文组织世界遗产相比，非物质文化遗产不包括宫殿和寺庙等建筑。相反，它包括传统艺术形式，如音乐、舞蹈和作为一个地方文化重要组成部分的手工艺生活传统。）可知，非物质文化遗产不包括宫殿和寺庙等建筑，结合选项，“巴黎的一座历史悠久的桥”是建筑，不能被列入非物质文化遗产名录。故选B项。
17．
推理判断题。根据第五段“Some of the cultural items on the list are dying out and in need of protection.”（名单上的一些文化项目正在消失，需要保护。）可知，已经列入非物质文化遗产名录的一些文化项目正在消失，由此可见，不是所有联合国教科文组织名单上的文化项目都得到了很好的保护。故选A项。
19．
标题判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产的特征，以及一些非物质文化遗产正在消失，需要保护，所以“非物质文化遗产的概述”可以作为文章标题。故选C项。
五、七选五

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Daniel,
I'm sorry to hear that you had an argument with your mother.
In my opinion, you should apologize to your mother, as she has done nothing wrong to prevent you from Internet addiction. Although the internet plays an important role in modern life, we can’t ignore its harm to us. Many students spend most of the time playing computer games or chatting aimlessly with others, which may not only result in poor health and decline in study, but also loss of communication in the real world.
As students, we should devote our energy to study. When available, you may as well walk outside with your friends or take some exercise to keep fit instead of playing computer games. Only in this way can you live and study happily and healthily.

九、读后续写
50．阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice's birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangos before noon.
When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocket knife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of mango tree.
He stayed there, holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it,though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意;
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph l:
On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House. When finally reaching Honey House, Tony just rushed in, out of breath. The owner of the store looked at him with a curious look. On hearing Tony's explanation, the owner opened the bag to check the mangoes. To Tony's disappointment, they're not enough to exchange a lovely doll. He walked out with tears rolling down his face when he met the other boys carrying bags of mangoes. Knowing Tony's situation, they decided to gather all their mangoes to give his sister a dream present.
Paragraph 2:
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. When subconsciously reaching out for a glass cup, she found a card saying "Look at the sofa. "Then she surprisingly saw the doll she had been dreaming of for a long time. When Tony said" Happy birthday, "Alice couldn't help crying and hugged him tightly. Touched by the warm atmosphere, their parents smiled with pleasure, knowing their son had grown up and reliable enough to take care of his sister. Wealth isn't always where happiness comes from, and love is something that really makes a great difference.

As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually in Eastern Europe, so you don't need to bring along your smartest clothing.
At the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage, we suggest you consider bringing along the following things, which we find particularly useful in Eastern Europe.
Batteries：If your camera，flash，or other appliances run on batteries，bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don't exist in Eastern Europe，and those that do often don't last very long.
Calculator: Many travelers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator. We suggest a credit-card calculator which fits into your wallet or purse.
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills ($l and $5) to use in hard-currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard-currency stores never seem to have the right change, and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash”on hand.
Electric Current Adapter: If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A．C．, not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug. Get in touch with the Franzus Company, 352 Park Ave. South, New York, NY10010 (tel.212/889-5850), and ask for their booklet, "Foreign Electricity Is No Dark Secret".
Language Tools: One of Europe's big challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go -you won't find them once you are in Eastern Europe.
If you are interested in learning an Eastern European language in more detail, we recommend the tape course produced by Audio Forum. In each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook. You can ask Audio Forum for their catalog at 96 Broad St., Guiford, CT06437 (tel. toll free 800/243-1234).
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around (as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box.651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 6197755 -9399, or toll free 800/874-9925) outside California.
Traveler's Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler's checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.
21．Which of the following sections deal with money matters
A．Cash &Money Belt
B．Money Belt & Calculator
C．Cash &Traveler's Checks
D．Calculator &Electric Current Adapter
22．Eagle Creek Travel Gear is a company producing ______.
A．calculators B．tapes
C．electric current adapters D．money belts
23．Which of the following is NOT a fact according to the passage
A．No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.
B．Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.
C．The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A．C．
D．Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.

When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC．
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.
24．What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about
A．Durant’s career path.
B．Durant’s hard childhood.
C．Durant’s mother’s devotion to the family.
D．Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent.
25．What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Enjoyable. B．Important.
C．Unusual. D．Hopeful.
26．What does Durant’s mother do as a motivational speaker
A．To share experience of her life and education on her son.
B．To make Durant realize the importance of financial planning.
C．To give the audience advice on how to achieve financial stability.
D．To explain that we can enjoy rewards by working hard.
27．What are the financial principles of Durant’s mom
A．Enjoying now and planning for the future.
B．Sharing rewards and creating a charity program.
C．Spending less money and saving for the emergencies.
D．Donating money to the charity and helping more schools.
C
While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears, nose, tongue and eyes should be called as special senses The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten？Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50, 000 different scents, which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate their pupils, change the focus and blur their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision, you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision, the rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also changed by the environment, diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
28．What does the example of “heavy meal and hearing” in the first paragraph prove
A．Every sensory organs has its specific function.
B．We easily fall asleep after eating a heavy meal
C．We feel the world through our eyes, ears, nose and tongue.
D．All the individual sensory organs are actually connected.
29．What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean
A．Our sense of taste becomes sharper when our tongue is dry.
B．The chemical dissolved in the saliva helps digest food eaten.
C．Saliva plays an important role in identifying the taste of food.
D．The taste buds works better when there is less saliva in the mouth.
30．Which of the following person prefers a quiet environment
A．A craftsman who is working on a diamond. B．An actor who is doing rehearsal.
C．A pilot who is flying a plane. D．An engineer who is checking machines.
31．According to the passage, how does a newborn sense his parents are with him
A．The identical genes guide him. B．He can recognize their unique smell
C．He can hear their individual voices. D．The sensor in his brain picks them out.

You probably know Machu Picchu and the Taj Mahal as famous UNESCO World Heritage sites—structures and monuments of great cultural value. But what about Beijing opera Or the art of pizza-making in Naples What do these have in common
Traditions like these are known as “intangible cultural heritage”. In comparison with UNESCO World Heritage sites, intangible heritage does not include buildings like palaces and temples. Instead, it includes traditional art forms, such as music, dance, and craft-making—living traditions that are an important part of a place’s culture.
UNESCO began to identify cultural traditions in 2008. By 2017, UNESCO had approved (批准) more than 300 diverse practices. These include cultural events like the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, performing arts like Spanish flamenco, and handicrafts like Japanese washi paper-making. In 2010, UNESCO also began to include important regional cuisines, starting with French and Mexican food.
Cultural rituals (仪式) are an important part of the UNESCO list. An example is the Tlemcen wedding ceremony in Algeria. The ceremony begins in the bride’s parents’ home, where friends and female relatives help the bride prepare for the ceremony. The bride is first dressed in a golden silk dress. Before leaving the house for the ceremony, her face is wrapped in a golden silk veil (面纱). Later, during the wedding feast, the bride removes her veil, ready to be married. The tradition has passed from one generation to the next, and marks the community’s cultural identity.
Some of the cultural items on the list are dying out and in need of protection. An example is Al Sadu—a traditional form of weaving in the United Arab Emirates. The tradition was once widely practiced by communities of desert Bedouin women. However, as many Bedouins have now moved to cities, Al Sadu is mostly practiced by older women whose number is decreasing.
UNESCO hopes that by bringing attention to cultural traditions such as Al Sadu, they will be more likely to survive. “Cultural traditions are important to fight for.” says Cecile Duvelle of UNESCO. “The more globalized the world becomes,” she adds, “the more important it is not to lose these traditional roots.”
32．Which of the following could NOT be added to the intangible cultural heritage list
A．Flute music from Peru. B．A historic bridge in Paris.
C．An Irish poetry festival. D．A traditional Italian diet.
33．What can we learn from the passage
A．All of the cultural items on the UNESCO list are not well preserved.
B．The traditional weaving—Al Sadu is still popular in Bedouin culture.
C．The main ceremony of the Tlemcen wedding takes place in the bride’s parents’ home.
D．Typical regional dishes are among the first items on the UNESCO list of intangible heritage.
34．According to Cecile Duvelle, which of the following is true
A. We should preserve the roots of traditions during the process of globalization.
B. Cultural traditions are thriving.
C. Cultural traditions are loosing their roots.
D. Cultural traditions would not survive if they catch people’s attention.
35.What’s the best title for the passage
A．Disappearing Cultural Traditions
B．Different Types of Cultural Practices
C．An Introduction to Intangible Heritage

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice's birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangos before noon.
When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocket knife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of mango tree.
He stayed there, holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it,though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段. 每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph l：
On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Homey House.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table.
