M：A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.
W：OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden
M：There is about half an acre behind the house. That's plenty of space. We can probably grow a lot of our own food.
W：What are you thinking about growing
M：Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.
W：Do we have enough money to get all of these
M：I think we've saved enough. We can also ask John about the money he borrowed from us.

(W) Good morning, boys and girls. As we know, in the past years our school held many competitions successfully every year, like Singing Competition and Dancing Competition. In fact I do know most of the students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last year. But, now we'll have something that may be much more fun. It's the Pet Competition! Well, in fact, it aims at letting all students know the importance of loving animals. Nowadays, too many people can't treat animals so well. They do not think carefully before getting a pet.
At the competition, you will not be disappointed because our teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love animals. Instead, we can all learn something from a relaxing environment. There's a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best dog. The competition will be based on the dogs' ability. Unfortunately this competition is not open to your pets this year. Our school has selected five dogs for this competition. That means, we can just sit back and enjoy. So please come to join this event and vote for your favorite dogs! How can you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year

Small, family run guesthouses are located in many villages.Prices typically include breakfast or all meals.The Village Hotel in Breb has three guest rooms in the main house and three small houses, each restored or built using local materials.
Where to Eat or Drink
There's a great restaurant offering traditional Maramures tastes beside the Casa Iurca de Calinesti Hotel, located next to Elie Wiesel's birthplace in Sighetu Marmatiei.Weather permitting, sit in the courtyard and watch the chef roast a whole lamb or pig over the open fire.

Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading.These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender based differences.Parents read more with their daughters.This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage.Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially engineered gap for boys' reading
To improve boys' reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading.This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting the so called boy friendly books that boys supposedly prefer.These are typically assumed to be non fiction works, as many people believe that boys prefer to read non fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non fiction.Encouraging all boys to read non fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful.Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books.Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time.To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling.Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons.Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls.Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model.Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要分析了男孩和女孩阅读能力有差异的原因，着重讨论了如何提高男孩子的阅读兴趣，从而增强其阅读能力。

B．To learn what boys are most interested in.
C．To help boys improve their language ability.
D．To show that adults are good reading role models.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句可知，作者建议大人们经常和男孩子们谈论阅读是为了让大人能够了解男孩子们的兴趣。

B．At any time of the school day.
C．At regular times during lessons.

Wikipedia defines a lifestyle as the way a person lives.This includes patterns of social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress.A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview.A healthy lifestyle is generally characterized as a “balanced life” in which one makes “wise choices”．
A healthy lifestyle is a valuable resource for reducing the incidence (发生率) and impact of health problems, for dealing with life stressors successfully, and for improving the quality of life.There is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows our lifestyles play a huge part in how healthy we are.From what we eat and drink, to how much exercise we take, and whether we smoke or take drugs, all will affect our health, not only in terms of life expectancy (预期寿命), but how long we can expect to live without experiencing severe disease.
Conditions such as hypertension (高血压), diabetes, joint disease, and mental illness are responsible for a vast number of deaths and disabilities.Currently, we only reckon on the provision (提供) of clinical care by highly trained health professionals as our major strategy to deal with these conditions.However, the truth is, many occurrences of health problems can be prevented or at least postponed by having a healthy lifestyle.
It is so important to make “keeping healthy” a part of our day to day living habits.Your health depends on what you do throughout the day, every day.Here is a real simple solution—slowly improve your lifestyle in a step by step way.Take one small step for your health today, keep that one going, and add another one every two months.If you take one new health step every two months, for example, in two to three years you will be among the healthiest ten percent of people in the Western world.And you will see and enjoy the benefits.
Living a healthy lifestyle will bring you happiness, health and the life of your dreams.You can fit into your favorite pair of jeans again.You can enjoy all the benefits that perfect health offers you.You can feel your best at all times of the day.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是健康的生活方式，如何养成健康的生活方式及其对我们的意义。
28．What is the benefit of having a healthy lifestyle according to Paragraph 2
A．It can make us less stressed.
B．It can solve our health problems.
C．It can make us adjust to the pace of life.
D．It can determine our physical condition.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的A healthy lifestyle ...for dealing with life stressors successfully可知，拥有健康的生活方式可以缓解我们的紧张感。
29．What does the underlined phrase “reckon on” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Call for. B．Rely on.
C．Pay for. D．Think about.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知，我们可以通过借助健康的生活方式，来推迟很多健康问题出现的时间，甚至是避免健康问题的出现，而不只是依靠专业的医疗手段。由此可推断，reckon on意为“依靠”。
30．What is the author's suggestion on improving our lifestyle
A．Make a plan to improve it gradually.
B．Ask advice from a trained health expert.
C．Take one new health step every three months.
D．Imitate the healthiest people's lifestyle worldwide.

What is success I am not going to try to explain success.I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize What else I believe personal success could be anything at all — it does not have to involve public recognition.Who is more successful A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”．
The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life；because it gives you freedom from worry.Could that be
Success means different things to every one of us.Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves.However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition.How many people are really happy How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives Incidentally，the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth.If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful.Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success.I've got a very long way to go then!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.It's the journey that really matters.Success is what you become in the very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要诠释了成功的定义。
32．What is personal success according to the author
A．Winning public recognition.

Christmas was hanging around.Six year old David was thinking what presents he could get from Santa.He wanted slippers; he wanted a silk tie; he wanted some toys.And school starting soon, he also hoped to get something about schooling.In order to get Santa to know what he needed, he thought he would write a letter to Santa, which he believed would bring him those presents.He found a sheet and made a list of the items on it, and then bent down to post the letter up the chimney, waiting for the winds to take it up.
David got up very early on the Christmas morning.He searched his room carefully, but to his disappointment, he didn't find the presents he hoped for.Hadn't Santa received the letter？Was he too busy to send him the gifts？Although feeling a little upset, David was convinced that Santa would not forget him and he was bound to receive the items.
Many years had passed and 2019 came.In an old house, a young builder, Lewis Shaw was removing the fireplace with his colleagues when he suddenly found a small piece of paper, which was still in perfect condition even if it had turned yellow.He picked it up and unfolded it.It was a letter written to Santa.The touching hand written note read：
Dear Father Christmas，
Please can you send me a drum, box of chalks, slippers, silk tie, pencil box，any little toys you have to spare
Love，
David
It was then signed off with lots of kisses.
This was the very letter written by David and the house was where he had lived during his childhood！The letter struck Shaw so much.How simple Christmas once was！David didn't ask for much, just the things he needed.Nowadays kids always wanted expensive gifts and took it for granted.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

参考范文：
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.He shared a photo of the note on Facebook.He also spoke to the neighbors on both sides of the house.Within two days he connected with David, the now 78 year old man living in a town nearby.They met at the old house, where Shaw returned him the letter.What a great surprise it was that he could read the letter again so many years after he wrote it!
A great surprise was on the way.After a pleasant chat, Shaw handed David a box.Inside it found all the presents David had listed in the letter.In fact, it had taken Shaw much time to collect these presents.He searched many kid's stores for all these things David wanted.David was quite excited — he finally had his Christmas wishes fulfilled!

The Historic Land of Maramure
The county of Maramures, located in the northern part of Romania, is famous for its traditional way of life that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
When to Go
May－June for wild flowers; July－September for hiking; September for harvest events like the Chestnut Festival (Baia Mare), Onion Festival (Asuaju de Sus), and Autumn in Chioar (Remetea Chioarului)．
How to Get Around
Baia Mare is the region's largest town and its transportation hub (交通枢纽)．From Bucharest, the quickest choice is the 85 minute direct flight to Baia Mare International Airport.Rent a car at the airport to travel regionally, and walk, hike, or bike in villages and rural areas.The English speaking staff at the Maramures Tourism Office in Baia Mare (open on weekdays) can provide biking, driving, and hiking routes, plus information about public transportation and bike rentals.
Where to Stay
Small, family run guesthouses are located in many villages.Prices typically include breakfast or all meals.The Village Hotel in Breb has three guest rooms in the main house and three small houses, each restored or built using local materials.
Where to Eat or Drink
There's a great restaurant offering traditional Maramures tastes beside the Casa Iurca de Calinesti Hotel, located next to Elie Wiesel's birthplace in Sighetu Marmatiei.Weather permitting, sit in the courtyard and watch the chef roast a whole lamb or pig over the open fire.
What to Read before You Go
William Blacker's memoir (回忆录) Along the Enchanted Way：A Story of Love and Life in Romania is an insightful look into the customs and cultural traditions of rural Transylvania and Maramures, where the author lived from 1996 to 2004.

Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading.These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender based differences.Parents read more with their daughters.This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage.Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially engineered gap for boys' reading
To improve boys' reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading.This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting the so called boy friendly books that boys supposedly prefer.These are typically assumed to be non fiction works, as many people believe that boys prefer to read non fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non fiction.Encouraging all boys to read non fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful.Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books.Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time.To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling.Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons.Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls.Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model.Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
24．According to the author, what is the main cause of the differences in boys' and girls' reading ability
A．Social factors.
B．Teaching methods.
C．Personal preferences.
D．Psychological differences.
25．Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading
A．To persuade boys to read more often.
B．To learn what boys are most interested in.
C．To help boys improve their language ability.
D．To show that adults are good reading role models.
26．When should schools give students additional library access according to the author
A．Before and after class.
B．At any time of the school day.
C．At regular times during lessons.
D．When they are in the lower grades.
27．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To show students ways to improve their reading.
B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability.
C
Wikipedia defines a lifestyle as the way a person lives.This includes patterns of social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress.A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview.A healthy lifestyle is generally characterized as a “balanced life” in which one makes “wise choices”．
A healthy lifestyle is a valuable resource for reducing the incidence (发生率) and impact of health problems, for dealing with life stressors successfully, and for improving the quality of life.There is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows our lifestyles play a huge part in how healthy we are.From what we eat and drink, to how much exercise we take, and whether we smoke or take drugs, all will affect our health, not only in terms of life expectancy (预期寿命), but how long we can expect to live without experiencing severe disease.
Conditions such as hypertension (高血压), diabetes, joint disease, and mental illness are responsible for a vast number of deaths and disabilities.Currently, we only reckon on the provision (提供) of clinical care by highly trained health professionals as our major strategy to deal with these conditions.However, the truth is, many occurrences of health problems can be prevented or at least postponed by having a healthy lifestyle.
It is so important to make “keeping healthy” a part of our day to day living habits.Your health depends on what you do throughout the day, every day.Here is a real simple solution—slowly improve your lifestyle in a step by step way.Take one small step for your health today, keep that one going, and add another one every two months.If you take one new health step every two months, for example, in two to three years you will be among the healthiest ten percent of people in the Western world.And you will see and enjoy the benefits.
Living a healthy lifestyle will bring you happiness, health and the life of your dreams.You can fit into your favorite pair of jeans again.You can enjoy all the benefits that perfect health offers you.You can feel your best at all times of the day.
28．What is the benefit of having a healthy lifestyle according to Paragraph 2
A．It can make us less stressed.
B．It can solve our health problems.
C．It can make us adjust to the pace of life.
D．It can determine our physical condition.
29．What does the underlined phrase “reckon on” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Call for. B．Rely on.
C．Pay for. D．Think about.
30．What is the author's suggestion on improving our lifestyle
A．Make a plan to improve it gradually.
B．Ask advice from a trained health expert.
C．Take one new health step every three months.
D．Imitate the healthiest people's lifestyle worldwide.
31．What is the structure of the text
A．①—②③—④⑤ B．①②—③④—⑤
C．①—②—③④⑤ D．①—②③—④—⑤
D
What is success I am not going to try to explain success.I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize What else I believe personal success could be anything at all — it does not have to involve public recognition.Who is more successful A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”．
The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life；because it gives you freedom from worry.Could that be
Success means different things to every one of us.Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves.However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition.How many people are really happy How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives Incidentally，the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth.If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful.Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success.I've got a very long way to go then!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.It's the journey that really matters.Success is what you become in the very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
32．What is personal success according to the author
A．Winning public recognition.
B．Being an unhappy millionaire.
C．Something impossible to define simply.
D．Succeeding in doing what you want to.
33．Which plays an important role in your success according to the text
A．Intelligence. B．Confidence.
C．Wealth. D．Kindness.
34．According to the text, humans are different from animals in .
A．belief B．freedom
C．imagination D．success
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．What Is Success
B．No True Success
C．How to Be Successful
D．Success Is Reaching a Destination

This is why road trips were like 53 universities to us.We 54 our PhDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.
