“Good morning,” the new teacher said.“I'm Ernesto Flores, your teacher for fifth grade.” In all his years in school, Julio had never heard a teacher use his or her first name. Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.
“Now I'd like to find out who you are,” said Mr.Flores.He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys. Julio shook his head.Teachers always began with the girls.
“Julio Sanchez,” called Mr.Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.
Several kids laughed.They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J.
Mr. Flores looked up from the roll book. “Isn't that how you say your name?” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J?”
“At home, they call me Hulio. But at school everyone calls me Julio,” Julio said.
“Do you like two pronunciations of your name?” asked the teacher. “It's a good Spanish name and you should be proud of it.”
Julio smiled.“I know,” he said, “but it doesn't matter to me.”
“Are you sure?” asked Mr.Flores.“Your name is a very important part of you.”
Julio thought for a moment.“Okay,” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”
“That's right,” said Mr.Flores.“Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico?”
“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don't remember anything,” Julio replied.
“I think you can interview your parents instead,” Mr. Flores said.
Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.
Julio had to admit (承认) that Mr. Flores was creative and interesting.

This love story began in Winchester, 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled during birth, leaving him brain damaged and unable to control his arms and legs.
When Rick was 11, he managed to use a computer by touching a switch with the side of his head. He was finally able to communicate. And after a high school classmate was injured in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick typed, “Dad, I want to do that.”
How was Dick, a fat man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles But, he tried. That day changed Rick's life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!” And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became crazy about giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. “NO question about it,” Rick typed. “My dad is the father of the century.”
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago, he had a mild heart attack during a race. “If you hadn't been in such great shape,” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So, in a way Dick and Rick saved each other's lives.
They compete in some races every weekend, including the latest Father's Day. That night, Rick bought his dad dinner, but the thing he really wanted to give him was a gift he could never buy. “The thing I'd like most,” Rick typed, “is that my dad sits in the chair and I push him once.”

Since the outbreak of COVID 19 in early 2020, public health and government officials have put social distancing rules in place and advised people to stay at home as much as possible. Many schools around the world started online learning.
Do teenagers have it easy being home all the time Not necessarily. They can't connect with teachers and friends in person and do outdoor activities. They are even concerned about the deadly disease. These have caused a rise in anxiety among young people.
In a study of about 1,500 teens last spring, 70% kids said that they were struggling with anxiety and 45% had felt more stressed than usual. Poncin, a professor of clinical child psychiatry (精神病学), said that it's difficult to show exactly what is causing the increased stress. Some factors focus on our communities and families, while others are individual (个别的). “There are many stress factors that teens are worried about, like their parents losing jobs, family members getting sick, parents not being home, not talking with friends, and more,” Poncin said. “Teens need to learn how to be together and how to talk and be with people.”
Thinking about something over and over also builds stress. To help ease (缓解) their worries, teens can bike, walk the dog or even pick up a new hobby.
In my home state of North Carolina, Roy Goode, head of the local educational agency, is especially concerned about students who don't have the resources they need to learn at home. “Today's students are tomorrow's leaders,” he said. “We need to make sure they all have a chance to succeed so we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.”
32.Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3
A.To tell the reasons leading to anxiety.
B.To stress the importance of being together.
C.To show teens' increased mental problems.
D.To stress the need for dealing with sadness.
33.Which of the following best shows Poncin's opinion
A.He believes chatting online helps.
B.He thinks teens should learn at home.
C.He thinks there are different reasons for teens' stress.
D.He believes government is responsible for COVID 19.
34.According to the passage, what can teens do to free them from worries
A.Stay at home alone. B.Develop new hobbies.
C.Play computer games. D.Have a walk with friends.
35.Where is the text most likely from
A.A diary. B.A magazine. C.A guidebook. D.A novel.

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。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister. The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store. I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother,” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal (水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine,” I dreamed. “We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge,” she said. “I promise.” Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don't know what this is!” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see. “My Christmas doll!” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise!” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意:1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.

32.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“They can't connect with teachers and friends in person and do outdoor activities. They are even concerned about the deadly disease. These have caused a rise in anxiety among young people.”可知,文章第二段介绍了一种社会现象,因为疫情,年轻人的焦虑增加了。再根据第三段关键句“In a study of about 1,500 teens last spring, 70% kids said that they were struggling with anxiety and 45% had felt more stressed than usual.”可知,下文列举了具体的研究数据说明年轻人的焦虑增加了,例如70%的孩子说他们正在与焦虑作斗争,45%的孩子感到比平时更紧张,由此可推断出,作者在第3段中列出数字是为了显示青少年心理问题的增加。
33.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知, Poncin认为,导致青少年压力增加的因素有很多,一些因素集中在我们的社区和家庭,另一些则是个别因素,例如担心父母失业、家人生病等,由此可推断出, Poncin认为青少年的压力有不同的原因。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何组织庭院甩卖提出了一些建议。
36.答案与解析:D 根据空格前后表述可知,上文提到要进行庭院旧货出售,且本段的主旨是提前计划,可知本句是在说明要为庭院旧货出售提前进行准备。故D项“现在给自己至少一个月的准备时间”符合语境。
37.答案与解析:E 根据空前内容可知,上文提到了让几个朋友、邻居或家人也参与出售,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这一做法的作用:吸引更多的买家。E项“多户家庭或社区范围的销售吸引更多的买家”符合语境。
38.答案与解析:C 本段的主旨是打广告的宣传,由此可知空格处是在说明打广告的作用:告诉你的潜在买家你正在打折。故C项符合语境。
39.答案与解析:A 下文提到让物品看起来有吸引力,即让东西看起来不错更有助于销售,A项中Make it look good.对应下文中Make it look attractive。故A选项“让它看起来不错”符合语境。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了患有庞贝氏病的辽宁沈阳17岁男孩Wang Weijia,在自己的努力和社会的帮助下考取天津南开大学的故事。
41.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。句意:初中时,他得了庞贝氏病,导致全身肌肉和神经细胞受损。根据空后“the Pompe disease”可知,“患病”需用动词got。
42.答案与解析:A 考查动词短语辨析。句意见上一句,由空后“damage to muscles and nerve cells throughout the body”可知,此处指庞贝氏病带来的后果,需用动词短语result in。
43.答案与解析:D 考查动词词义辨析。由前文“damage to muscles and nerve cells throughout the body”可知,因为庞贝氏病,王的全身肌肉和神经细胞受损,所以走路时摔跤。
44.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。由后文“Wang's condition worsened”可知,因为病情恶化,由此可知,医疗费用昂贵,王的家人承担不起。
45.答案与解析:C 考查副词词义辨析。strikingly醒目地; originally原来地; severely严重地; accidentally意外地。由前文“Wang's condition worsened”可知,因为病情恶化,所以王的身体严重畸形。
46.答案与解析:D 考查名词词义辨析。句意:为了矫正他弯曲的背部,他每天都在上身套上结实的支架。前文说王的身体严重畸形了,再结合空后“he wears a hard frame on his upper body every day”可知,此处指矫正弯曲的背,王每天都在上身套上结实的支架。
47.答案与解析:B 考查介词词义辨析。句意:尽管有这些困难,他拒绝屈服,从未停止他的学习。空处说有困难,后一句说拒绝屈服,前后表示让步关系,所以此处需用介词despite。
48.答案与解析:C 考查动词词义辨析。根据空前“he refused to give in”可知,因为拒绝屈服,所以此处需用动词stopped,表示王从未停止学习。
49.答案与解析:A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:即使是像坐下来这样简单的动作也会带来很大的挑战。前文提到王的身体严重畸形,所以此处表示像坐下来这种简单的动作都会给身体带来很大挑战。故选A项。

52.答案与解析:D 考查名词词义辨析。strength力气; services服务; encouragement鼓励; efforts努力。王没有放弃自己,一直努力学习,所以此处指他的努力得到了回报。
53.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。由前文“He said one reason...”可知,此处需用名词choice,表示王在解释自己选择南开大学的原因。
54.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。由空前“where the college”可知,此处讲述大学的位置。
55.答案与解析:A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:高考结束后,王决定做些事情来回报别人给他的帮助,比如那些帮他支付医药费的人。repay回报; support支持; offer提供; refuse拒绝。由空后“the aid he has received from people, such as those who helped pay his medical bills”可知,此处指王决定做一些事情来回报那些给她帮助的人。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。讲述了有各种形状和大小可以搭建各种形态的乐高玩具。
56.答案与解析:robots 考查名词。句意:孩子们可以构建车辆,建筑物,甚至可以用砖头造机器人。and连接并列名词,根据前面的名词vehicles, buildings可知,此处应用复数名词robots。
57.答案与解析:of 考查介词。all kinds of是固定短语,意为“各种各样的”。
58.答案与解析:it 考查代词。句意:如果你能想象一个物体,你就可以用砖块来建造它。代词指代前面的an object,表示同一物用it。
59.答案与解析:produces 考查主谓一致。句意:乐高是生产乐高玩具的公司。定语从句中that指代Lego是单数名词,谓语动词也用单数形式produces。
60.答案与解析:which 考查定语从句。本句为定语从句,先行词是the Danish words “leg godt”,在定语从句中作主语,指代物。故用which引导非限制性定语从句。
61.答案与解析:building 考查非谓语动词。句意:其他的乐高积木都是巨大的,人们要花很多时间来建造它们。介词后用动名词作宾语。故填building。
62.答案与解析:biggest 考查形容词最高级。句意:以《星球大战》中著名的千年隼号宇宙飞船为例:当乐高在2007年将其投放市场时,它是他们制作过的最大的乐高套装。表示“有史以来最……”,用形容词最高级biggest。
63.答案与解析:started 考查动词时态。句意:2008年,乐高开始销售泰姬陵的模型,泰姬陵是印度一座巨大而迷人的建筑。时间状语in 2008,是过去的时间,故用一般过去时。故填started。
64.答案与解析:attractive 考查形容词。and表示并列,前面是形容词big,后面也用形容词作定语。故填attractive。
65.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意:乐高仍然是孩子甚至一些成年人的爱好。表示一个爱好用不定冠词,辅音开头的单词前用冠词a。

One possible version:
There, underneaththetree, wasabeautifullypackedgiftbox. Inside it was the “doll” I expected. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply and then opened it expectantly. However, much to my disappointment, it was nothing like the one that we saw at the store. She wore a plain skirt with a simple face. Her black woolen hair was pulled back in a pony tail, with no shiny tiara at all, not to mention the crystal shoes. She was nothing like Cinderella; she looked more like the ugly stepsister.
ButIcouldseeMotherwatchingme, waitingformyresponse. I knew Mum would be sad if she knew what I really felt. Hiding my disappointment, I shouted with delight, “She's hard to resist! Thanks, Mum!” A relieved smile appeared on my mother's face. From time to time, I would take the “ugly stepsister” out and admire it. It is a reminder of my mother's love. Her love would make me special and happy even if things did not always tick all the right boxes.

During the summer holiday some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12 year old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall. To lower the cost, they learned to bargain with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired,” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot”.
24.In the writer's opinion, the 12 students' action was ________.
A.popular B.encouraging C.strange D.embarrassing
25.Why did the cousins decide to sell vegetables at a market
A.To show how able they were. B.To have less hardship of life.
C.To prepare for their future traveling. D.To learn how hard their parents work.
26.Why did they bargain with the sellers
A.They wanted to cut down the cost. B.They wanted to share their feelings.
C.They wanted to get bigger vegetables. D.They wanted to attract more customers.
27.What's the best title of the passage
A.Summer Courses B.Family Business
C.Students Learn from Bargains D.Cousins Work with Vegetables

Kindness and kids just seem to go hand in hand. But 62% of more than 2,600 participants in the NBC News State of Kindness Poll believe that today's kids are less kind than those in the past. Women (66%) feel about this kindness fall more strongly than men (58%). Most of the participants who feel that way (77%) thank parents caused the seeming lack of kindness among today's children, with a few thinking that society, schools, or friends caused it.
At the same time, Americans say they don't put kindness first when it comes to teaching kids values. Among all participants, honesty is taught more than kindness as well as other things like courage, leadership and storing work ethic (道德). But the younger generation—those aged 18~24—think highly of kindness rules. They choose kindness by 10% over honesty as the most important quality to teach kids.
The question of whether kindness is learned or taught—or somewhere in between—causes different opinions. According to the study, Americans have different opinions on whether kindness in something one is born with or needs to be learned and nurtured over time. Slightly more than half (52%) of the participants believe that all of us are born with the ability to show kindness, while 48% believe kindness must be developed.
Parenthood (父母身份) makes a difference to your thoughts on the causes of kindness. Those without kids (56%) are more likely to think that people are born to be kind, while 50% of the participants with kids think kindness is developed.
Also, 51% of dads and 54% of men with no kids believe kindness is something time is born with. Slightly more than half of the moms say kindness must be learned, while 48% believe it is what one is born with.
28.What do participants aged 18~24 consider the most important for kids
A.Honesty. B.Leadership. C.Kindness. D.Courage.
29.The underlined word “nurtured” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.kept B.developed C.replaced D.protected
30.How many moms in the study believe kindness is what one is born with
A.48% B.51% C.52% D.54%
31.What is the test mainly about
A.Causes of today's kids being less kind.
B.The important qualities of today's kids.
C.Different people's opinion's on kindness.
D.Findings of research on today's kids' kindness.

They say that“travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587~1641). His book TheTravelNotesofXuXiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however. Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60 year old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become TheTravelNotesofXuXiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard to reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4 year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
32.What is the passage mainly about
A.The influence of Xu's book TheTravelNotesofXuXiake.
B.The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C.The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
D.The general details of Xu Xiake's life story.
33.Which of the following best describes Xu's mother
A.Supportive and open minded. B.Kind but uneducated.
C.Helpful and hardworking. D.Strict but interesting.
34.Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels
A.It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.
B.It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
C.It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
D.It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
35.What is true about Xu's book TheTravelNotesofXuXiake
A.It was mainly about the different people of China.
B.It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C.It was the first travel book ever written in China.
D.It was only made public after Xu died.

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。
Michael goes to his grandparents' once or twice every month, and he decided to go round to see them when he had a free evening the week before they went for a holiday.
“Come in, Michael,” his grandfather said. “I'm glad you've come round. Take your coat off and sit down for a minute. Let's see the end of this programme on TV. Your grandmother and I watch it every week at this time of night.” So Michael sat in a comfortable chair, quietly waiting for the TV detective (侦探) to find out who the thief was.
Finally, his grandmother got up and turned the TV off. Then, she said, “I'm sorry, Michael, but I must go and see a friend for a few minutes. I'll come back soon. But while I'm out, perhaps you can help your grandfather to bring down the big blue case from the attic (阁楼). We want it for the holiday.”
They watched her going by. “Let's go round to the pub (小店) for a drink,” grandfather said. “That's a good idea,” Michael answered, “but let me give you a hand with the case. Tell me where it is and I'll get it out for you. It's in the attic, isn't it?”
Grandfather pulled down the corners of his mouth. “That's the trouble. It's not there. You can go up and look, but you won't find it. Perhaps, I lend it to somebody, but I can't remember. Your grandmother doesn't know, but she'll find out this week that we've lost our best case.” Michael laughed, “Don't worry. You can use mine. If I go home now I can bring it back in half an hour.” And he went home quickly before the old man could say no.
When he got home, his father called, “What are you looking for, Michael You're throwing your things about, aren't you?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。教授通过杯子和咖啡告诉学生要追求生活的本质,不要被外表所迷惑。
41.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:在给客人提供咖啡之前,教授到厨房拿了一大壶咖啡和各种各样的杯子回来——瓷器的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的,一些看起来普通又便宜,一些精致又昂贵——告诉他们自己喝咖啡。根据空前的“offering his guests coffee”可知,喝咖啡自然要用杯子。故C项正确。
42.答案与解析:A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上。根据空前的“plain looking”及空后的“delicate (精致的) and expensive”可知,此处与“精致又昂贵”相对,指的是“看起来普通又便宜”。故A项正确。
43.答案与解析:C 考查动词词义辨析。端上咖啡和杯子后,教授让学生们自己喝咖啡, help oneself to sth.表示“自用、随便吃/喝”。故C项正确。
44.答案与解析:A 考查动词词义辨析。根据空后的“all the nice looking and expensive cups were __45__, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.”可知,如果你们留意的话,所有好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿走了,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子。故A项正确。
45.答案与解析:B 考查动词(短语)辨析。根据空后的“leaving behind the plain and cheap ones”可知,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子,这说明好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿走(占用)了。故B项正确。
46.答案与解析:A 考查形容词词义辨析。根据空后的“for you to want only the best for yourselves”可知,你们想要得到最好的(东西),这一点是很正常的。故A项正确。
47.答案与解析:D 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文中的“Conversation soon turned into complain about stress in work and life.”可知,学生们开始抱怨工作和生活中的压力,教授用杯子告诉他们想要得到最好的东西正是他们的问题和压力的根源所在。故D项正确。
48.答案与解析:D 考查连接词辨析。分析句子结构可知此处为主语从句,从句中的wanted缺少宾语,所以用what引导这个主语从句,指代“真正想要的东西”。故D项正确。
49.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。所有好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿走了,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子,这说明学生们都去拿最好的杯子,上文中的“want only the best for yourselves”也是提示。故B项正确。
50.答案与解析:C 考查动词词义辨析。空前一句说你们都去为自己挑选最好的杯子,然后就开始注视着别人的杯子(与自己的比较)。故C项正确。
51.答案与解析:A 考查名词词义辨析。根据空前的“the jobs, money”可知,此处指社会地位。故A项正确。
52.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。句意:它们只是维系生活的工具,我们拥有什么样的杯子并不会改变我们生活的质量。根据空前的“hold”可知,此处指“维系(承载和容纳)”。故B项正确。
53.答案与解析:D 考查名词词义辨析。根据上文中的“It is definite that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.”可知,杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量,同样,生活中的那些“杯子”也不会改变我们生活的质量。故D项正确。
54.答案与解析:A 考查动词短语辨析。根据空后的“only on the cup, we fail to __55__ the coffee.”可知,只专注于杯子,就不能享受咖啡的醇香。故A项正确。
55.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。根据上文语境及空后的“the coffee”可知,如果只专注于杯子,就不能享受咖啡的醇香。故B项正确。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一名英语老师由于疾病失业后教老年人如何上网的故事。
56.答案与解析:changed 考查过去分词。句意:此外,在线社区和社交网络改变了一些人的生活。本句主语为people's lives,与change构成被动关系,句子用现在完成时的被动,空处缺少过去分词。
57.答案与解析:Unfortunately 考查副词。根据“out of work due to her sudden illness”可以推测, Jan突然失业是“不幸的”,置于句首,修饰整个句子。故用副词Unfortunately。
58.答案与解析:in 考查介词。be interested in为常用搭配,意为“对……感兴趣的”。
59.答案与解析:got 考查时态。空处缺少where引导的定语从句的谓语,根据主句的谓语joined可知,事情发生在过去,用一般过去时。
60.答案与解析:Inspired 考查非谓语动词。句意:受到她在网上认识的人的启发,她成立了一个IT俱乐部,教老年人如何上网。空处缺少句子的状语,逻辑主语she与inspire为被动关系,用过去分词作状语。
61.答案与解析:an 考查冠词。句意同上。此处IT club第一次出现,为泛指,且IT首字母发音为元音音素,用an。
62.答案与解析:belief 考查名词。句意:她坚信每个人都该使用互联网,弥合数字鸿沟非常重要。空处作hold的宾语, believe“相信”为动词,对应名词为belief,冠词a提示用单数。故填belief。
63.答案与解析:it 考查代词。句意同上。空处缺少代词it作形式主语,真正的主语为“to bridge the digital divide”。故填it。
64.答案与解析:that/who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词为others,定语从句中缺少主语,指人,用who/that。
65.答案与解析:Thinking 考查非谓语动词。句意:“考虑别人的情况启发我去提供帮助。”空处缺少句子的主语, think为动词,应该改为动名词。

But let's not tell your grandmother. Put it against the wall there.”
Michael'sgrandmothercamebackfromherfriend'satthatmoment. When she saw the case by the wall, she laughed happily. Then she picked it up and found a small label—Michael's father's name and address on it. She suddenly understood why her husband did not want to go to the attic to look for the case. Because it was lost long ago. And he didn't tell her the truth for fear of breaking her heart. What a loving lie! Grandmother came over and hugged grandfather tightly, with tears of happiness in her eyes.

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades, and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons.All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. You do not need to say to a three-year old, “Go explore your environment. You can't stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four year olds.They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80%of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
24.What is the main topic of the article
A.An unusual school. B.Children's hobbies.
C.A school without rules. D.Education in the US.

What is the hottest topic at your school recently In Taiyuan No. 55 Middle School, it's money.
The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.
What did they choose to sell Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.
Hu Qing's team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide and seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”
Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn't meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. “He didn't want any change. He said he wanted to help the children,” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.
MengZhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn't buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make the money we need to lead happy lives.”
28.Who took part in the activity
A.Some teachers.
B.About 200 of Junior 1 and Junior 2 students.
C.About 200 students of the three grades.
D.About 200 Junior 1 students.
29.Why did Hu Qing's team finally give up
A.Because the parents didn't like to buy the books.
B.Because the Children Activity Center was too crowded.
C.Because the officers didn't allow them to sell anything there.
D.Because the team played the game of the hide and seek the whole morning.
30.Why did more people come to Wang Bing's stall at last
A.The people were willing to help country kids.
B.A foreigner came up and helped them.
C.The team put up a magic board.
D.The people were interested in their ice cream.
31.What can students learn according to the passage
A.It's impossible for them to make money.
B.It's very important for them to make a living.
C.It's not easy for their parents to make money.
D.It's difficult for them to make money.
D
School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more. I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning, and I never tried to get out of any work. I stayed after school every chance I got. I did most of the work I could, got the best grades I could, and in the end, I graduated from high school with honors. All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me, pushed me, and made learning a fun thing to do.
At the beginning of the school year, I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings, but Mrs. Trainer always sat with me, talked with me, and helped me feel ok without my mom. She was understanding, kind, and always made the classroom a comfortable place. Mrs. Trainer also sat down and helped me learn; I was, and still am, the worst speller, but she tried her hardest to help me.
The second was my senior high school English teacher, Mr. Stonerock. Mr. Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun, especially when we had eight page papers to hand in. Some of my favorite high school memories (记忆) were in his classes. Mr. Stonerock also taught my class APA format (格式) which to me is invaluable. I use it every day in my life. He put up with so many shenanigans (恶作剧) from my classmates and me and always did it with as mile.
My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes, high school level classes, or primary level classes. I have had more influential teachers than I can count. I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers, who give me life advice and guide me. Teachers are invaluable resources (资源) and no one can take their place.
32.Which of the following can best describe the author as a student
A.Creative and proud. B.Confident and polite.
C.Kind hearted and honest. D.Hard working and excellent.
33.How did Mrs. Trainer help the author
A.By teaching him like a mother. B.By helping him to be the best speller.
C.By asking him easy questions in class. D.By learning about his habits from his mother.
34.What is the most useful skill the author learnt from Mr. Stonerock
A.How to finish papers quickly. B.How to use APA format correctly.
C.How to learn English in a fun way. D.How to get on well with classmates.
35.What is the purpose of this text
A.To show how to be a good teacher. B.To stress teachers' key roles in schools.
C.To praise teachers important to the author. D.To share the author's experience as a teacher.

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day.”
For several weeks Mrs. Emerson hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. Her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to dissuade (劝阻) her but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say, “Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car she found that she forgot to buy any tea.

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。如果你的孩子讨厌上学该怎么办?本文关于这个问题提出了几点切实可行的建议。
36.答案与解析:F 考查上下文逻辑。根据空前“he is sick whenever the alarm clock goes off. Your child hides under the covers and cries, ‘I hate school’”可知,这些都是孩子讨厌上学的现象,再根据空后If he behaves like that可知,该空也是孩子讨厌上学的现象,故F项“你的孩子故意忘拿作业”符合上下句逻辑。故选F项。
37.答案与解析:D 考查上下文逻辑。根据空后“you can ask where he sits and why”可知,该空是问句,故选C或D,而C项询问的是关于“你的孩子”的情况;不合题意。D项“你和你的同学相处怎样”符合题意。故选D项。
38.答案与解析:C 考查上下文逻辑。根据空前“Are there behaviour problems you do not realize”可知,是在询问你的孩子的情况。故该空也是询问你的孩子的情况。故选C项。
39.答案与解析:G 考查上下文逻辑。根据空前“If you think there's such a problem, talk to the school”可知,如果学生有学习障碍的话,需要向学校反映,G项“老师在上课时会多注意的(这是学校的解决办法)”符合题意。故选G项。
40.答案与解析:A 考查段落大意。本段主要讲的是要多赞扬少批评;A项“看到好的一面”就是要赞扬的,故可作本段标题。
第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和儿子之间的故事。
41.答案与解析:C 考查副词词义辨析。句意:他骄傲地把笔递给我,等待着我的反应。根据前文的“It's a pen. But not just any pen. It's a lucky pen!”和后文的“waiting for my reaction”可知,科迪说它不是一支普通的笔,而是一支幸运笔,并期待母亲的反应,所以科迪引以为豪,骄傲地递给了母亲。故选C项。
42.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。strange奇怪的,陌生的; special特别的; important重要的; interesting有趣的。根据后文的“It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them.”可知,作者认为科迪给她的笔和其他圆珠笔一模一样,她有一抽屉这样的笔,所以它并无特别之处。故选B项。
43.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。根据后文的“I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses.”可知,作者害怕被出版社拒绝,因此作者是想成为一名作家。故选C项。
44.答案与解析:A 考查动词词义辨析。根据前文的“I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses.”和后文的“What if...likes my writing and I fail?”可知,作者害怕被出版社拒绝,害怕没有人喜欢她的作品,所以此处是作者的担忧。故选A项。
45.答案与解析:D 考查代词词义辨析。句意:如果没有人喜欢我的作品,我失败了怎么办?根据后文的“and I fail”可知,作者害怕失败,失败意味着她的作品没有人喜欢。故选D项。
46.答案与解析:A 考查动词词义辨析。根据前文的“I thought Cody wasn't listening”可知,作者害怕科迪听到,该句用But开头,意思发生了转折,及科迪还是听到了我说的话。故选A项。
47.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:这支笔会让你的故事变得精彩,每个人都会喜欢你。根据下文的“and everyone will love you”可知,笔当然是写东西的,作者的梦想是当作家,所以这支笔会使作者的故事妙笔生花,以至于每个人都喜欢她。故选C项。
48.答案与解析:B 考查副词词义辨析。根据前文的“Even if”可知,所填空应为消极、否定的词语,表示作者最坏的结果是从未卖出处女作。故选B项。
49.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文的“I knew that pen would bring me luck, though.”和下文的“just by having Cody in my life”可知,虽然作者知道这支笔会给她带来好运,但是仅仅有科迪在她身边她就已经很幸运了,从而引出下文发生的事情。故选B项。
50.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:在餐厅里,科迪听到一个比他大的男孩说他有一支幸运笔。根据后文的“In the end, he...his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy—his most important things, for that pen.”可知,科迪用了一大堆自己珍爱的东西换取了那支笔,所以此处是钢笔,而不是其他东西。故选C项。
51.答案与解析:A 考查动词短语辨析。句意: 这个男孩是个强硬的谈判者,但科迪没有放弃。give up放弃; try out试验,提炼; get away逃离,外出度假; call back回电话。此处表示“科迪没有放弃,他付出了很多,最终换取了那支笔”,此处对手的强硬和科迪的坚毅形成了鲜明的对比。故选A项。
52.答案与解析:D 考查动词词义辨析。found发现; kept保持; sold卖出; changed交换。change...for意为“以……交换……”,为固定短语。故选D项。
53.答案与解析:C 考查代词词义辨析。科迪为母亲换来幸运笔是想让母亲能写出好作品,成为受人尊重的人,所以他的目的是使“我”感觉好点。故选C项。
54.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:当收到一封退稿信,我开始感到难过时,看到此笔就会感到很幸运。根据前文的“When a refusal letter arrives”可知,收到退稿信自然感到难过。故选B项。
55.答案与解析:D 考查动词词义辨析。作者认为仅仅拥有科迪就已经是人生很幸运的事情了,到文末再一次点题,尽管作者珍爱那支笔,但是与儿子科迪相比,更珍爱的是科迪。故选D项。

One possible version:
DearPeter,
Longtimenosee!Imissyouverymuch. I realized entering a senior school is really a big challenge. My new school life is a little challenging and stressful.
Firstly, I have difficulty with several subjects. I felt anxious because this school differs in many ways from my previous one. Moreover, I haven't made any new friends, so I felt lonely and helpless. Besides, what is very different is that I have to live on campus from now on.
All in all, though I'm worried about keeping up with the excellent students, I will do my best to study harder. I hope to have a happier, more fruitful and satisfying life in my new school.
Iamlookingforwardtoyourreply.
Yourssincerely,
LiHua

Using 1900 as a starting point, here's a look at some of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes in the last 120 years in the US.
Most powerful hurricanes
Hurricane Camille, which landed on August 17, 1969 near Waveland, Mississippi, is the most powerful storm to strike the Gulf Coast. Camille is one of the four category (级别)-5 hurricanes ever to make a landing in the US, the others being the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Michael in 2018.
According to the National Weather Service, the actual wind speed of Hurricane Camille might be around 175 mph along the coast.
Until the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, Camille's more than 24 foot storm wave in Pass Christian, Mississippi, held the record. Katrina's storm wave along the Mississippi coast reached 30 feet.
Costliest hurricanes
Hurricane Katrina is not only the costliest ever US hurricane but also the most expensive natural disaster in the country's history. Not only did it cost as many as 1, 836 lives and leave millions of people homeless, but it also caused $160 billion in damages.
Katrina landed near the Gulf Coast on August 29,2005 as a category 3 storm. The hurricane's record breaking waves flooded 80% of the city.
Deadliest hurricanes
The category 4 Hurricane Galveston made a surprising landing along the Texas coast on September 8, 1900. It caused a 16 foot storm wave and its wind speed reached 150 mph.
A large part of the city of Galveston, Texas, was left in ruins. The number of death reached 12,000 on Galveston Island and the mainland. It remains the deadliest weather disaster in the US history as it gave the people no time to move out.
21.How many category 5 storms have stricken the US since 1900
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
22.Which is the costliest hurricane in the US
A.Hurricane Camille. B.Hurricane Andrew.
C.Hurricane Katrina. D.Labor Day Hurricane.
23.Why has Hurricane Galveston become the deadliest weather disaster in the US
A.It has caused the biggest waves. B.It has had the highest wind speed.
C.It has caught the people by surprise. D.It has brought in the heaviest rainfall.
B
One day, a few years ago, I was rushing from the pool when a man stopped me and said, “You must come to swim with the team.” I was in my early 50s—too old for a swim team, I thought. But the coach—Igor was his name—insisted: “I can see you are a good swimmer.”
Encouraged, I joined his group of swimmers. Workouts started at 5:30 in the morning when most people were still in bed. Although we were all at different swimming levels, we had one thing in common: We wanted to get better.
After a few days, a bunch of us were complaining about how little progress we were making, how slow we were. Igor smiled and said, “You are all confused! Speed is not the goal; it is the result of perfectly beautiful technique.” What really mattered to Igor was the technique. Once you mastered that, he argued, speed would follow naturally. Speed was simply the welcome side effect of swimming well.
I've been thinking lately that there's a lesson here that goes beyond the pool. We all wanted to swim faster and the more hysterically (歇斯底里般地) we tried, the more speed escaped us. The same goes for happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, yet the more directly we go after happiness, the more elusive (难以捕捉的) it becomes.
Research shows that thinking too much about how to be happy actually weakens well being. This is in part because all that thinking consumes a fair amount of time, and is not itself enjoyable. Study after study shows that good social relationships are the strongest, most consistent predictor of a happy life.
Our technique has improved, thanks to Igor. Some days, I swim only a little faster than I did before. But even if I don't, I feel great.
In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well—just like speed can be the result of excellent swimming technique. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the pool.
24.How did the author react when Igor invited him to join the team
A.He hesitated at first. B.He refused firmly.
C.He accepted it at once. D.He consulted his coach.
25.Why did some teammates feel unhappy after a few days
A.They learned nothing new. B.They were unable to swim faster.
C.They got up too early in the morning. D.They were at different swimming levels.
26.What happens when the author focuses on swimming
A.He becomes the best on the team. B.His social relationships have improved.
C.He makes progress and enjoys himself. D.His swimming speed has increased greatly.
27.What can we know about happiness
A.Happiness comes to those trying hard to achieve it.
B.Happiness is a side effect of a personal hobby.
C.Happiness is a natural result of living well.
D.Happiness arises from a healthy body.

Now Sea World on the Gold Coast is the only dolphin park in Australia to continue keeping dolphins in captivity. This wouldn't have been possible without thousands of warm hearted supporters being a voice for dolphins protection over many years.
In August last year, Ben Pearson, our head of campaigns in Australia and New Zealand, appeared before the NSW upper house inquiry into the use wild animals for entertainment to put forward our case for ban on captive Dolphin breeding in the state. “If a dolphin were bred today, it may still be alive in 2070. This regulation frees future dolphins from being kept in lockdown at a time when the public acceptability of keeping dolphins in captivity for entertainment is declining. As the tide turns against using marine mammals in captivity for entertainment, conversation about what will happen to the dolphins at Sea World needs to start now. First step is a ban on further breeding,” Ben Pearson said.
Major travel brands including Tripadvisor and have already committed to stop selling tickets to dolphin shows and encounters. As well as these great changes for dolphins from the travel industry, Canada recently passed a ban on keeping dolphins and whales for entertainment. This is part of a global movement towards better treatment of these wild animals, which includes the nations of Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, India, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK.
Dolphins are magnificent, intelligent animals. They belong in the wild and should not be bred in captivity for entertainment. In their natural environment, dolphins swim freely in 100 square kilometres of ocean, sometimes more, but the average dolphin in captivity has a fraction of that space. Together, we can make this the last generation of dolphins in captivity.
28.What makes Sea World on the Gold Coast the only dolphin park
A.Dolphins take too long a time to feed.
B.People's awareness of protecting dolphins.
C.Sea World on the Gold Coast has enough money.
D.Dolphins in Sea World on the Gold Coast like people's voice.
29.What does the underlined word “tide” mean in the second paragraph
A.Wave. B.Support. C.Opinion. D.Doubt.
30.What is most likely the result of the measures of the travel industry
A.More parks for dolphins will be built. B.More dolphins will be kept in parks.
C.Wild animals will live a better life. D.More countries will feed wild animals.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Make Dolphins Live Freely B.Protect Sea World on the Gold Coast
C.Change the Ways of Entertainment D.Prevent People from Feeding Animals
D
Summer floods are an annual occurrence for many cities across China. According to the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, in 2012, urban flooding affected 184 cities, while in 2013 the number was 234, and last year it was 125, it said. Now, new measures are being introduced to reduce loss of life and the economic damage caused by flooding.
One of the most effective measures to increase the efficiency of storm drains in cities would be to reduce the storm water runoff and raise the levels of water filtration (过滤) and conservation in urban areas, experts said. To solve the problem of urban flooding once and for all, the central government has decided to push forward the “Sponge City” program, which in part borrows the experiences of low impact development from the United States and Canada in recent years.
The program will allow at least 60 percent of rainwater to soak into the ground, rather than being discharged into rivers. The level of filtration could be further raised in some areas with low levels of rainfall to increase the use of rainwater. The project includes the development of residential communities with storage ponds, filtration pools and wetlands, plus roads and squares built with materials that will allow storm water to soak into the ground more effectively, according to the guideline.
“It would require a major shift in ideas about urban construction. Rainwater should be regarded as a resource, rather than a burden to be dealt with. Concepts of urban construction should shift from the destruction of the ecosystem to its renewal,” Chen Zhenggao, Minister of Housing and Urban rural Development, told a work conference in May. “If the urban runoff cannot be effectively filtered into the ground, the floods that follow will cause the direct loss of life and property,” he said. He also believes low impact development represents the future of the country's urbanization drive. “It (the dealing with storm water) is an issue of public security. Thus it should be a compulsory requirement when new urban areas are being planned and built,” he said.
32.What's the purpose of building a “Sponge City”?
A.To reduce the storm water runoff in urban areas.
B.To raise the levels of water filtration and conservation.
C.To address the problem of urban flooding permanently.
D.To achieve low impact development with borrowed experiences.
33.What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A.At most 60% of rainwater is to soak into the ground.
B.The level of filtration could be increased in areas with more rainfall.
C.Residential communities should be replaced by ponds, pools and wetlands.
D.Roads should be built with materials allowing water to soak into the ground.
34.What can we infer from Chen Zhenggao's remarks
A.Floods take place because of the shift of the ecosystem.
B.Floods will not happen when urban runoff is filtered into rivers.
C.New urban construction concept means replacement of the ecosystem.
D.Low impact urban development is a must to solve the issue of public security.
35.What is the passage mainly about
A.Summer floods have always been an issue for cities.
B.“Sponge City” program is set to soak up urban floodwater.
C.Rainwater should be regarded as a resource rather than a burden.
D.Low impact development can change the situation of urban ecosystem.

__39__
At present, the basic method of controlling locusts is with insecticides (杀虫剂) sprayed from the ground or the air. There are also biological pest control measures. __40__ The biggest enemies are birds. Frogs, spiders, and mantises are natural enemies too. The method has proved effective and at a low cost.
A.Are locusts of no use at all
B.The locust has its natural enemies.
C.Is there no way to stop the locusts

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。
Having just graduated from high school, I was 18 and living with my parents in Denver, Colorado. That summer I decided to take my most daring trip ever. I wanted to go to Utah to visit a dear friend I'd known for four years. My father had given me a small street motorcycle as a graduation present, and I worked out a plan to ride it to Utah.
I was to get an early start, ride all day, and arrive at my destination (Paradise, Utah) that evening. Arriving in Ogden, Utah in the late afternoon, I looked at my map for another route to save time. A small line on the map indicated an unimproved road heading northeast straight to the little town of Paradise!
Of course I headed for it. The road quickly became single, dirty lane, winding through fields. As long as it was dry, surely I'd be OK. Suddenly, I lost control of the motorcycle and it fell over. I didn't get hurt because wasn't going fast, but I was puzzled and couldn't figure out what had happened.
It was dark. While my headlight showed me where the road was, I couldn't tell its condition, only that it was smooth. I started again, and once more fell over after a few feet. I looked around and found myself alone in a high mountain field. For the first time during the trip I started to get worried. A few minutes later I couldn't believe what I saw-a pair of headlights bouncing along the road toward me, coming from the direction I was heading for!
The man driving the small truck stopped and asked if I needed any help. Not the type to bother others with my problems, I said I thought I could get where I was going on my own, but thanked him for the offer.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
He explained the problem—a rain had fallen during the day.

To finish today's programme, I want to tell you about the Rose Shopping Centre. It's taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago.
Firstly, getting there; there are organized coach trips from most towns but they leave early and come back very late, so I drove. You can also get there by subway, but the station is 15 minutes from the centre by bus, and the buses are really crowded.
The shops don't open till 10 am except on Saturday when they open at 9:00. They close at 8 o'clock every day except Friday when they're open until 9 pm.
The centre has three floors. There are 25 different shops on F1 and F2, and there are seven different banks on F3, as well as several restaurants and a cinema.
Although I had a good day, I had one complaint. Everywhere was at first quite clean but people were dropping their fast food boxes and empty drink cans on the ground because there weren't any garbage cans to throw them in. Thank you all for listening! That's all for today's programme.

第一节
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自1900年以来,美国过去120年里的一些最强大、最具破坏性的飓风。
21.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据Most powerful hurricanes部分第一段的最后一句“Camille is one of the four category 5 hurricanes...Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Michael in 2018.”可知,自1900年以来,已有4次5级风暴袭击美国。
22.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据Costliest hurricanes部分的第一句“Hurricane Katrina is not only...the most expensive natural disaster in the country's history.”可知,给美国造成损失最大的飓风是卡特里娜飓风。
23.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据Deadliest hurricanes部分第一段的第一句“The category 4 Hurricane Galveston made a surprising landing along the Texas coast on September 8, 1900.”和第二段最后一句“It remains the deadliest weather disaster in the US history as it gave the people no time to move out.”可知,因为它让人们措手不及,所以加尔维斯顿飓风成为美国最致命的天气灾害。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者的游泳教练让他们明白:游泳技巧提高了,速度自然就快了。正如幸福一样,越是单纯追求幸福,越是得不到,放手不去想关于幸福的事情,幸福自然就来了。
24.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was in my early 50s—too old for a swim team, I thought.”可知,作者一开始觉得自己年龄太大了,有些犹豫。故选A项。

28.答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now Sea World on the Gold Coast is the only dolphin park in Australia to continue keeping dolphins in captivity. This wouldn't have been possible without thousands of warm hearted supporters being a voice for dolphins protection over many years.”可知,是人们保护海豚的意识让黄金海岸的海洋世界成为唯一的海豚公园。故选B项。
29.答案与解析:C 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“This regulation frees future dolphins from being kept in lockdown at a time when the public acceptability of keeping dolphins in captivity for entertainment is declining.(这一规定使未来的海豚免于被封锁,目前公众对将海豚圈养娱乐的接受度正在下降)”以及后文“turns against using marine mammals in captivity for entertainment, conversation about what will happen to the dolphins at Sea World needs to start now”可知,随着反对将圈养的海洋哺乳动物作为娱乐的观点发生了转变,关于海洋世界海豚将会发生什么事情的讨论现在需要开始了,划线词意思是“观点”。故选C项。
30.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段的表述可推知,旅游业的措施最有可能的结果是“野生动物将过上更好的生活”。故选C项。
31.答案与解析:A 主旨大意题。结合全文内容的叙述可知,文章说明了人们保护海豚的意识让黄金海岸的海洋世界成为唯一的海豚公园,还介绍了澳大利亚海豚的保护状况,呼吁未来可以让海豚自由地生活,故A项“让海豚自由地生活”最符合文章标题。
D

33.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据第三段“The project includes the development of residential communities with storage ponds, filtration pools and wetlands, plus roads and squares built with materials...”由此可知,建造道路所用的材料要能使雨水更有效地渗入地面。

39.答案与解析:C 此处是本段的小标题,根据下文“At present...There are also biological pest control measures”可知,本段主要说的是控制蝗虫的办法,可以回答C项“没有办法防止蝗虫吗?”提出的问题。
40.答案与解析:B 根据下文“The biggest enemies are birds. Frogs, spiders, and mantises are natural enemies too.”可知,鸟类、青蛙、蜘蛛和螳螂都是蝗虫的天敌。B项“蝗虫有它的天敌”中的natural enemies与下句中natural enemies是词汇复现。

57.答案与解析:severely 考查副词。句意见上一题。修饰动词affected应用副词severely,意为“严重地”,作状语。
58.答案与解析:With 考查介词。句意:随着捐款、物资和吊唁的滚滚而来,许多中国企业树立了积极的榜样。根据“donations, supplies and condolences (慰唁) rolling in”可知,此处应用介词with构成独立主格结构。
59.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意见上一题。此处第一次提及example,所以是泛指, positive开头发音为辅音,应用不定冠词a。
60.答案与解析:relief 考查名词。句意:中国运动服装公司鸿星尔克捐赠5 000万元人民币(770万美元),为抗洪救灾和援助提供物资。根据“and aid”可知,此处应用名词relief表示“救济”作介词for的宾语。
61.答案与解析:its 考查代词。句意:周三,该公司在其社交媒体平台新浪微博上宣布这一消息后,得到了广泛的支持。修饰名词platform应用形容词性物主代词its表示“它的”。
62.答案与解析:left 考查过去分词。动词leave意为“留下”,和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语comments构成被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词作后置定语。
63.答案与解析:impressive 考查形容词。句意: ERKE的捐赠之所以让人印象深刻,并迅速走红,是因为这对公司来说是一笔大数目,而ERKE的业务在过去几年似乎发展得并不顺利。此处使用“make+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,根据句意可知,此处应用形容词impressive表示“令人印象深刻的”作宾语补足语说明宾语donation的状态。
64.答案与解析:considering 考查现在分词。动词consider意为“考虑”,和谓语之间没有连词,和主句构成主动关系,所以应用现在分词作状语。
65.答案与解析:which 考查定语从句。句意:周四晚上,阿里巴巴电商平台淘宝上的直播频道吸引了超过200万人,比平时的观众数量有了大幅增长。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语,且修饰主句。所以应用关系代词which。

He was so kind that he drove me to my friend's home, which made me less worried. I will always be grateful to him for going out of his way on a dark night to the middle of nowhere to help me.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7, 1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A.104, 944. B.107, 601. C.About 150,000. D.About 250,000.
22.Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A.Michigan Stadium. B.Beaver Stadium.
C.Ohio Stadium. D.Kyle Field.
23.What do the listed stadiums have in common
A.They host big games. B.They have become tourist attractions.
C.They were built by Americans. D.They are favored by architects.
B
Football is my favorite sport. I loved to watch it, but I had never played in a football game before I went to college. I lacked self confidence and I doubted if I could do well in a team, which was why I hardly did sports together with others. I just loved practicing playing football in the backyard of my house.
About one month after I went to college, one day some of my classmates said they'd play a football game with some players of another class. I really looked forward to it but never thought I'd join them to play. That day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates. However, just about ten minutes after the game started, one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play. The other members looked worried. Then one of them came to me and asked, “Can you play?” At first, I shook my head, but then I nodded. “Great! Come and play,” he said. I followed him, having no idea at all what to do. To my joy, he asked me to play in defense (防守). Defense was my favorite because I found it more fun and less complicated (复杂的). Then the game began again. There weren't a lot of big kids on the offensive line (攻击线) of the other team and I suddenly gained some self confidence. About five minutes later, the ball was kicked toward the guard. I thought it was a good opportunity for me. I quickly ran past the guard and got the ball. When the guard came to the offensive line, I kicked the ball. I scored and all my classmates cheered. You may not believe it, but I scored twice that time. The final score was 6—2 and we won. My teammates thought that I did very well and none of them believed I hadn't played in a game before.
That game really changed me. I am a really confident person now and often play football games with my teammates.

Alice was very worried about her dad. For some time now she had noticed he was losing his hair. One day, she asked him,“Daddy, every day you have less hair. Why is that?” Her father smiled and said, “It's the hair thief. He visits my head during the night when I'm asleep. One by one he pulls out my hair as much as he likes. And there's no way to catch him.”
This worried Alice. She decided to help her dad. That very night she stayed awake as long as she could. When she was sure her dad and mom had fallen asleep, she took a hammer and went straight to their bedroom. She walked carefully in order not to make any noise. She didn't want the hair thief to hear her. When she arrived at her father's side, she began looking at his head, trying to catch the hair thief as soon as he appeared. Before long, she saw a shadow on it and she hit it with the hammer.
Her father let out a loud cry. Trembling with shock, he turned the light on and saw Alice waving her hammer in the air with her hands.“Daddy, I nearly got him. I thought I hit him, but it looks like he escaped!” said Alice. Meanwhile, all the noise had woken Alice's mother up. She burst out laughing when she knew what had happened.

This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, but also helps you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation.
To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the best use of your dictionary.
If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word.“Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. When there are differences between British spelling and American spelling, the dictionary shows them with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.

If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced.

Find out what makes you most happy and joyful in life. If you are unclear about what makes you happy, just take a piece of paper and list down every possible activity and thing that makes you happy. __40__
A.What comes easy to you

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。
John was crazy about playing basketball. Every day after school, he would spend much time practicing basketball skills. Sometimes, he didn't go back home until sunset, which made his mother extremely angry. One day, as he was given a chance to watch a basketball game, he dreamed about being a member of the college basketball team the next year. On the way, he was delighted secretly. He thought no one in the world was luckier than him. Suddenly, a car hit him. What a terrible experience! It seemed like a bad dream.
John woke up in a hospital room. He was frightened to death. He realized that he couldn't move both of his legs. At that time, the doctor came in. When the doctor told him that both his legs were broken and he had to sit in the wheelchair for the time being, he knew his college basketball dream was over. He was really depressed. John followed what the doctors had told him, but it did not work entirely. When he left hospital, John was sent to a health recovery center. He never heard of this center before, but it was not far away from his house. Although he felt unwilling to go there, he had no choice but to accept the fact.
A week later, he arrived there unhappily. The first person he met was Sunny Chen, who was so kind and friendly that he warmly welcome John to go there. Sunny's legs were badly hurt in a skating accident. He told John that he would help him recover soon. Though Sunny couldn't move his legs, he became the coach of a basketball team called the Suns. After a period of recovery training. John felt his legs were all right. So Sunny invited him to join the game. Sunny guided the team on his wheelchair. John played badly, but for the first time since the accident, he stopped feeling sorry for himself.

37.答案与解析:E 根据本段的首句可知,第一个方法是要去倾听生活。与E选项“To discover(发现) your life, you must learn to listen to it.(要发现你的生活,你必须学会倾听它)”意思一致, listen是关键词。

第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了油漆工义务修补了船洞,船主的孩子开着船平安归来的温暖哲理故事。小小的举动会在将来产生很大的影响。
41.答案与解析:D 句意:在刷漆的时候,他注意到在船身上有一个洞,决定修补它。根据“there was a hole in the body of the boat”可知,这是看到或注意到的。故选D项。
42.答案与解析:C 既然看到船身上有洞,男子就决定去修补了,在后文中“It's for repairing the __46__ in the boat.”有提到。故选C项。
43.答案与解析:A money钱; paint油漆; brush刷子; fish鱼。根据前文可知他是受雇漆船,可知完成工作之后,会收到钱作为报酬。故选A项。
44.答案与解析:C 第二天,船主人拜访了这个油漆工,给了他一张支票,远远超过他做刷漆工作所得的报酬。根据“much higher than what he was paid for the painting work”可知,船主人又给了他一张远远超过他做刷漆工作所得的报酬的支票,故选C项。
45.答案与解析:D happy开心的; disappointed失望的; embarrassed尴尬的; surprised惊讶的。根据“You've already paid me for painting the boat”可知,油漆工认为船主人已经付过他报酬了,所以对又收到的支票感到惊讶。故选D项。
46.答案与解析:A 这是对你修好了船上的洞的报酬。根据前文讲“油漆工修好了船上的洞”可知,主人是为了感谢此举。故选A项。
47.答案与解析:B 这并不值得您为了如此小的事情付我如此多的钱。根据“it's not worth paying me such a high amount...”可知,油漆工认为这是很小的事,不值得这么多钱。故选B项。
48.答案与解析:C 根据后文船主讲了后来发生的事情可知,船主是要告诉他发生了什么事情。故选C项。
49.答案与解析:A 当船干了的时候,我的孩子们开船进行了一次钓鱼之旅。went on继续; went away离开; went over结束; went through经历。go on a trip意为“旅行”,为固定搭配。
50.答案与解析:D 所以当我回来注意到他们开走了船时,我很绝望。根据“I was not at home at the time.”和“and noticed they had taken the boat”可知当时船主不在家,回来时发现孩子们把船开走了。故选D项。
51.答案与解析:A hopeless绝望的; silly愚蠢的; crazy疯狂的; excited兴奋的。孩子们毫不知情地坐着破洞的船去水上了,极有可能出现意外,身为父亲此刻的心情无疑是绝望的。故选A项。
52.答案与解析:B 想象一下当我看到他们平安回来时的如释重负和喜悦吧。空白处和joy用and连接,意义相近,设身处地地想,船主看到孩子们平安回来时一定是如释重负而且开心的。故选B项。
53.答案与解析:A 根据前文讲船主的孩子们开着船平安归来,是因为油漆工随手修补了船洞,正是油漆工救了船主孩子们的命。故选A项。
54.答案与解析:C 我们每个人都有提供帮助、擦掉眼泪、仔细倾听、修补我们人生中遇到的所有的“洞”的道德责任,因为小小的举动会在将来产生很大的影响。根据“in our life journey”可知,这些“洞”是在人生旅途中偶然遇到的。故选C项。
55.答案与解析:D 我们每个人都有提供帮助、擦掉眼泪、仔细倾听、修补我们人生中遇到的所有的“洞”的道德责任,因为小小的举动会在将来产生很大的影响。achievement成就; progress进步; process过程; difference不同。根据前文讲船主的孩子开着船平安归来,是因为油漆工修补了船洞,可知是小小的举动产生了很大的影响, make a difference意为“产生影响”。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。讲述了自行车车手Cyclist Agustin Navarro在比赛中尊重竞争对手的故事,赞扬了他的体育精神。
56.答案与解析:suddenly 考查副词。句意:突然他看到他的竞争对手自行车轮胎被刺穿了。sudden“突然”为形容词,副词suddenly修饰后面整句。
57.答案与解析:with 考查介词。句意:Ismael Esteban肩扛着自行车向终点跑。由上文可知, Ismael Esteban的自行车坏了,所以只有把自行车放肩膀上往前跑。with可以接复合结构“with+名词+介词短语”,表示方式,作状语。故填with。
58.答案与解析:to pass 非谓语动词不定式。refuse意为“拒绝”, refuse to do something意为“拒绝干某事”。故填to pass。
59.答案与解析:allowing 考查非谓语动词。句意:相反,他骑在Mr. Esteban后面,让他赢得了铜牌。分析句子可知,空格处为非谓语动词作状语,主语he和allow之间是逻辑上的主动的关系,应用现在分词作状语,表结果,故填allowing。
60.答案与解析:behaviour/behavior 考查名词。句意:站在路边的人们为Mr. Navarro的行为鼓掌,并在两人冲过终点线时为他们欢呼——一个步行,另一个骑着他的自行车。根据空格前名词所有格Mr. Navarro's,可知应填名词, behave的名词为behaviour/behavior。
61.答案与解析:one 考查不定代词。句意见上一题。one...the other意为“一个……另一个”。故填one。
62.答案与解析:the 考查冠词。句意:Mr. Esteban后来试图把奖品给Mr. Navarro,但他拒绝了。此处prize是特指Mr. Esteban获得的奖牌,需要用定冠词the限定。
63.答案与解析:was praised 考查被动语态。分析句子可知,空格处为句子谓语,动词praise和主语Mr. Navarro为被动关系,需要用被动语态be+动词的过去分词,因为讲的是过去的事,用一般过去时。主语是单数, be动词用was。
64.答案与解析:where 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处为表语从句中的引导词,体育精神所在的地方,从句中主语为the spirit in sport,谓语lies为不及物动词,根据句意可知,应用where作地点状语。
65.答案与解析:coaches 考查名词的数。句意见上一题。空格处和前面名词competitors, teammates为并列关系,故coach需用复数形式coaches。

One possible version:
DearTom,
Howiseverythinggoingrecently Iamwritingtosharewithyoumyunforgettableexperienceduringthesportsmeetingheldlastmonth. Before the meeting, my teacher and classmates made a detailed plan. We were all very excited to give advice and provide anything needed. At the same time, the athletes made full preparations, running and jumping in their spare time. During the meeting, the athletes competed fairly on the playground with the other athletes cheering around. What a great time!
I think our class has become more united after the sports meeting. In addition, the classmates know more about each other and become closer. As a result,we are more hopeful of the colorful school life.

One possible version:
Johnwasgladthathisdreamofbeingamemberofthebasketballteamcametrue. Basketball was like medicine for him. John was much better and more confident than before. John practiced hard to improve himself. He was always the first to come to the court, and the last to go back home. Although it was not easy for him to play and did badly at first, he never thought about giving up hope. He was a boy with a strong mind.
SunnysawallJohndid, lostinthought. He could not help praising John for his courage and love for basketball. There were many ups and downs in life. No one knew what would happen. However, as long as there was love and hope in our heart, nothing could stop us from achieving what we desired. As a matter of fact, what we should do was hold fast to the dreams and fight to the end.

Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.
Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment,” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative.
While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解), is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24.What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway
A.To sell more coffee and books. B.To attract more customers.
C.To collect money for a new project. D.To inspire reading and recycling.
25.How did Gentile come up with the idea
A.Working with a school to recycle cans. B.Seeing school kids don't like reading.
C.Donating books for a local school. D.Buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26.Who pay for the books of the project
A.The local government. B.Gentile himself.
C.Some publishers. D.His customers.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.An Italian's Reading Initiative B.Recycling Can Get Kids Free Books
C.Michele's Way of Doing Business D.A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste

My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions. I visited all the famous places. I'd like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.
First, I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say that it is a very interesting historical place. I found out that a long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal (皇家的) family. Or maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.
I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, two very popular places for tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.
In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Hyde Park, Green Park, and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.
Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons (鸽子) there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.
Another very special place in London that I like is St. Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. I also was impressed with the museums in London. They're very popular. I found them interesting because you can learn about the history of England.
I had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it because it is a city that is rich in history.

London's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.
Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.
32.Why is London's newest skyscraper called the Shard
A.Because of its cost. B.Because of its size.
C.Because of its shape. D.Because of its height.
33.When Piano designed the Shard, what did he want to do
A.To change London's skyline. B.To inherit London's tradition.
C.To imitate the Egyptian style. D.To attract potential visitors.
34.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ________.
A.is only preferred by the rich B.is intended for wealthy people
C.is far away from the poor area D.is popular only with Londoners
35.Which would be the best title for the passage
A.The Shard: Cheers and Claps B.The Shard: Work of a Great Architect
C.The Shard: New Symbol of London D.The Shard: A Change for the Better

Mary and her husband, Jim, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. However, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Mary was so angry that she said to Jim,“I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Mary just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake, To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and a snow—covered mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Jim!”, Mary cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Jim. Mary kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Mary was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Mary wanted very much to be with Jim and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Mary rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger, Mary began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Mary heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Mary took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag it if they came back again.

Hello, Ryan. Thanks so much for your party! It was a big surprise and I really enjoyed it. I'm sorry that I had to leave early. My dad was worried about the traffic. In the end, we got to the airport at 8:00 pm, much too early. Then the flight finally took off after three hours. My mum wasn't very keen on flying, so she was quite stressed. Altogether, it wasn't much fun. Fortunately, New York time is five hours behind London, so it was still Sunday evening when we arrived.
New York is really different from London, and I feel quite strange. Yesterday my cousin Sam and I went to the Fifth Avenue. You've probably heard of it, which is famous for its amazing stores. I was surprised at the prices. Things are much cheaper here. Of course, I bought some presents for you and your family. I sent them to you by UPS Express. Now I'm quite tired of travelling, and I can't wait to go home in LA! Ryan, don't forget to call me back.Bye.

DearJohn,
I'mwritingtoaskwhetheryouareabletodomeafavour.
I want to have a penfriend, hopefully a boy in his early twenties. He should be interested in travelling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Besides, it would be better for him to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home. With such a penfriend, I hope we can share with our experiences in travelling, taking care of pets and so on. I hope I will improve my English by doing so.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

Wild with joy, she jumped up, waving the blouse while crying. The helicopter spotted her and began to land on the grass. “It's Jim! I know he will come!”A pair of warm hands reached Mary's cheeks. “Where have you been If something happened to you, I would always shave it on my conscience.” “I'm sorry.” Mary said.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Would you like to read books in your free time Here are four books you really should read.
Ender'sGame by Orson Scott Card
It works perfectly as a book for teens. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”. In preparation for the third conflict, children, including the novel's leading character, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, are trained from a very young age.
TheRoad by Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose (散文) stylists. His novel, TheRoad, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more impressive by its briefness.
TheCatcherintheRye by J.D.Salinger
For decades, almost every good book about disaffected adolescents was compared to TheCatcherintheRye, but none has matched the original. Salinger had his finger on the pulse of a generation in a way that few writers can match, and he broke with tradition by writing in a colloquial (口语的) voice.
TellMeaRiddle by Tillie Olsen
You might not have heard of Olsen, but her 1961 story collection TellMeaRiddle was one of the first to chronicle (按事件顺序记载) the lives of working class women. Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.
21.What kind of book is Ender'sGame
A.A love story. B.A story collection.
C.A folk tale. D.A science fiction.
22.Which of the following won its author the Pulitzer Prize
A.TheRoad. B.Ender'sGame.
C.TellMeaRiddle. D.TheCatcherintheRye.
23.Who had an important effect on female writers
A.J.D.Salinger. B.Cormac McCarthy. C.Tillie Olsen. D.Orson Scott Card.
B
My son was entering Grade 1. He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates.
On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one.
How could this happen
I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle (弄混) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.”
If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, I think it is a blunder.
I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.
While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel (残忍的) to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause.
One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing—her son does not have a “best friend”, which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing.
Part of a school's responsibility (责任) is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice.
24.How did the author bring up the topic
A.By telling a story. B.By using other people's words.
C.By making comparisons. D.By showing research findings.
25.What does the underlined word “blunder” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Progress. B.Reason. C.Mistake. D.Failure.
26.Why did the author mention her own primary school experience
A.To prove that smaller classes are better.
B.To discuss the importance of good friends.
C.To explain how friendships are developed at school.
D.To show the advantage of having familiar classmates.
27.What's Karen's attitude toward the practice of her son's school
A.She supports it. B.She is against it.
C.She isn't interested in it. D.She is uncertain about it.
C
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14 year old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (依偎) against me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is understanding which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their mind. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of UncommonSenseforParentswithTeenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.
To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (思想的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
28.What does “The door to his room is always shut” suggest
A.The son keeps himself away from his parents.
B.The son begins to dislike his parents.
C.The son is always busy with his study.
D.The son doesn't want to be ignored.
29.What troubles Tina and Mark most
A.Their daughter isn't as lovely as before.
B.They don't know what to say to their daughter.
C.They can't read their daughter's mind exactly.
D.Their daughter talks with them only when she needs help.
30.Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph
A.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
C.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
D.Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
31.What can we learn from the passage
A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B.Parents have to talk with children face to face.
C.Parents shouldn't be angry with teenagers.
D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
D
Many countries are currently facing major problems related to waste collection, particularly in urban areas, due to the large amount of waste produced daily by the population. Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.
With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system, which they refer to as AGDC, for automatic garbage detection and collection. Their system uses AI algorithms (计算程序) to detect and locate waste in its surroundings, then picks it up with a robotic arm.
The system consists of a robotic body (i.e. a base, a robotic arm and a drawer) and several machine learning algorithms. It uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect garbage on the ground. Then, it calculates its position by analyzing pictures collected by an integrated camera (内置摄像头). Next, another algorithm judges the distance between the robot and the garbage, while also giving instructions to the robot to reach the target location. The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting. When the robot finally reaches the garbage detected by CNNs, it uses a robotic arm to collect it and drops it into a drawer that is attached to its body.
The researchers have already developed a prototype (原型) of their waste detection system, which can currently collect up to 100~200 g of garbage. In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer. In addition, the team is thinking of developing and training a new CNN model that would allow AGDC to detect various kinds of garbage at the same time.
32.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Using technology to collect waste. B.Making using of urban areas effectively.
C.Dealing with industrial pollution. D.Reducing the amount of waste produced.
33.What is the microcontroller used to do
A.Pick the garbage up. B.Detect and locate the garbage.
C.Empty the robot's drawer. D.Direct the robot's movements.
34.How does Paragraph 3 mainly develop
A.By process. B.By classification. C.By comparison. D.By example.
35.What will the researchers do next
A.Build a prototype of AGDC. B.Advertise the prototype of AGDC.
C.Improve the prototype of AGDC. D.Mass produce the prototype of AGDC.

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。
When I was in elementary school, I loved parties. I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at school, so I made friends from various groups. There was an “in” crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school—if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would laugh at him or her.
Shannon was one of my friends who was the uncool type. She was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was a little overweight. I don't know why, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Whenever there was a strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would laugh and point at her. Shannon never said anything.
One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at home. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school.
“Why did you invite Shannon?” asked a cool friend. She said that I had made a big mistake and pressured me to tell her not to come. I wasn't sure what to do; I liked Shannon, yet I was afraid that the cool girls would be angry at me. I knew the right thing to do, but I eventually decided not to say anything to Shannon and let the invitations stay as written.
On the day of my party, both Shannon and my other friends came, and all that happened was that we had much fun together. None of the things I had worried about came to be. More parties and events followed that one and the memory of it gradually faded(模糊). In fact, it was many years later before I thought about that party again.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Good evening, everyone. In today's program I'll tell you something about Ira Marvin Levin.
The writer was born on August 27, 1929, in New York City. He was expected to follow his father into the toy business. But as a teenager, Levin had other ideas. He was so interested in writing. Levin entered a television writing competition when he was at college. He later began to write for TV shows.
While writing for such shows as LightsOut and TheUnitedStatesSteelHour, Levin worked on his first long story. His first book, AKissBeforeDying, came out in 1953. He was thought highly of by the public because of this book. The book won the Edgar Award for best first novel the following year. In 1956, the story became a film starring some stars. Then more works followed, including 1968's Rosemary'sBaby and 1976's TheBoysfromBrazil, which were later turned into films.

第二部分
第一节
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了四本可以在空余时间阅读的书籍。
21.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据Ender'sGame by Orson Scott Card部分中“Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species...”可知,这本书以未来为背景,是一本科幻小说。选项D与文意相符。故选D项。
22.答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据TheRoad by Cormac McCarthy部分中“TheRoad, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction”,可知, TheRoad这本书使其作者获得了普利策奖。选项A符合题意。
23.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据TellMeaRiddle by Tillie Olsen部分中“Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.”可知,作者奥尔森(Tillie Olsen)影响了一代女作家。选项C与文意相符。故选C项。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以儿子上一年级所在班里没有一个好朋友和老同学的故事,探讨了学校对孩子们熟悉的朋友和同学分到不同的班级的做法是错误的,不利于孩子的成长。
24.答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据本文第一段表述可知,作者以自己儿子班级里既没有自己的好朋友也没有老同学这个故事为例,提出本文的话题,他认为学校不应该这样做。故选A项。
25.答案与解析:C 词义猜测题。结合下文第七段“it seems almost cruel to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause (但是在没有正当理由的情况下把低年级的好朋友分开似乎是残忍的)”,以及本文最后“perhaps it is time to rethink this practice(也许是时候重新考虑这种做法了)”可知,如果学校积极尝试把两个最好的朋友安排在不同的班级,只是为了让事情发生变化,我认为这是一个错误,由此推知,划线词所在句意为“我认为这是一个错误”, 即划线词与C选项“Mistake (错误)”意思接近。
26.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据第六段“It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.”,同时结合最后一段“Part of a school's responsibility (责任) is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow.”可知,作者上小学时与他班级的同学一直在同一个班集体里,同学们之间互相熟悉。他认为,在熟悉的班集体里,能让孩子有安全感,有利于他们的成长。 故选D项。
27.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Part of a school's responsibility (责任) is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice.”可知,学校的责任之一是为孩子们提供一个安全舒适的学习和成长空间。如果环境总是在变化,导致可怕的结果,也许是时候重新考虑这种做法了。由此判断出,她对儿子所在学校的做法持反对的态度。故选B项。
C
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了现在的父母不理解孩子的心理变化,并向父母提出了关于如何理解孩子的建议。
28.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句“Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.”可知,他们的儿子与朋友交流比与他们交流多,所以此处的意思是疏远父母。故A项正确。
29.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is understanding which time is which.”可知, Tina和Mark弄不清楚何时要把女儿看成小女孩,何时要把她看成一个年轻的女士,故他们不能确切地读懂女儿的想法。故C项正确。
30.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say...write to them”可知,青少年不愿意与父母谈话,父母亲应该创造机会理解孩子的想法。故B项正确。
31.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.”可知,父母和孩子之间存在较大的隔阂,父母应创造机会多了解孩子的真实想法,多与孩子交流沟通。故D项正确。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了薇什沃卡马政府工程大学研究出的一种名为AGDC的垃圾检测和收集系统,通过内置摄像头和计算程序实现工作,这类科技的发展,有助于改善城市的垃圾收集状况。
32.答案与解析:A 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system”可知,研究人员带着此种想法制造出了垃圾收集系统,所指的应该就是上文中“Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.(技术会在处理这些问题上扮演重要角色,比如说,通过更高效工具的发展来收集垃圾)”即利用科学技术来收集垃圾。与A选项描述相符。
33.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting.”可知,该系统中微处理器的作用是控制机器人的行动。与D选项相符。
34.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。浏览第三段,主要介绍了系统的组成部件,并通过一次工作流程阐述了其工作原理。故选A项。
35.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer...”可知,研究人员下一步将会就目前的原型系统进行升级、扩展。故选C项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了作者和父母之间的关系以及朋友的父母是如何对待朋友的。对此,作者认为作为一个青少年,有一部分是可以自由地走上新的道路,并从我们自己的错误中学习。我们的父母必须让我们在生命的一个自然阶段继续生活。
36.答案与解析:A 根据上文“My parents have very different parenting styles.”爸爸妈妈对我的方式不同,结合“He is calm (镇静的) and reasonable and treats me like an adult.(他冷静、通情达理,把我当大人看待。)”可推测出妈妈对我是与爸爸不同的,对我不像大人。选项A“她跟我说话就好像我还是个孩子似的。”衔接上文。故选A项。
37.答案与解析:E 根据空后的“It was a journey I'd taken with Mum before.(以前,这是我必须带上妈妈的一次旅行)”可知,这里谈论到了旅行这个话题。选项E“最近,我想坐火车去朴次茅斯看一个朋友。”去看朋友就是指的这个旅行。故选E项。
38.答案与解析:C 根据下文“They use monitoring software (监控软件) to secretly watch what their teenagers are looking at online.(他们使用监控软件偷偷地观察他们的青少年在网上看什么。)”可知,其他孩子的父母更过分。选项C“但她不像我朋友的父母那么坏。”对应了下文,说明父母只是不允许我上网比朋友的父母更好一些。故选C项。
39.答案与解析:G 根据上文“I understand them, but they overreact (反应过激).(我理解他们,但他们反应过度了)”可知,父母总是反应过度,结合下文“I think what they should do is keep calm and help us find a way to deal with it.(我认为他们应该做的是保持冷静,帮助我们找到解决问题的方法)”可知,父母的反应使我不愿和他们交流。选项G“他们的所作所为让我们不想和他们谈论我们的私事。”衔接上下文。故选G项。
40.答案与解析:D 根据上文“We love the idea of being really close to our parents.(我们喜欢和父母亲近的想法)”可知,选项D“我们也深知父母最关心我们。”与上文构成并列关系。与下文“But part of being a teenager is feeling free to take steps down new paths and learning from our own mistakes.(但作为一个青少年,有一部分是可以自由地走上新的道路,并从我们自己的错误中学习。)”构成转折。故选D项。

I dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction.
After about a week in community college, I was feeling the same upset and fear I'd felt a few years earlier. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly dressed woman with grey hair walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! You're here because you want to change your lives for the better. And you're going to make it!”
Mrs. Peters didn't know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, yet I felt she was speaking directly to me. She knew exactly what I was feeling and what many of my classmates were probably feeling as well, and she lessened our fears. I came out of that class making up my mind to succeed.
“Are you having trouble keeping up with the workload Break it down into small manageable pieces, and set up a schedule that works for you.” she told us. “Are professors teaching too fast for you to take notes Interrupt (打断) them with a question so you can catch up on your notes before they continue.” she advised. “If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math.” she suggested. As for English composition which can be hard and boring, she gave us interesting writing homework.
She never let us lose sight of our dreams. “Go for the best: you're worth it.” she said when we graduated.
I left that community college with high grades and went on to do further studies. Mrs. Peters wouldn't know that when she gave that talk, she made a huge difference in my life.
24.Why did the author go back to college
A.He was out of a job. B.He was dissatisfied with his job.
C.He tried to start his own business. D.He hoped to learn more about algebra.
25.What troubled the author at college
A.He did badly in recent exams. B.He was forced to leave school.
C.He failed to manage his studies. D.He was beaten by bitter memories.
26.How did Mrs. Peters affect the author

C.By setting him extra homework. D.By giving him inspiration and skills.
27.What advice did Mrs. Peters offer to her students on their careers
A.Have fun. B.Start small. C.Dream big. D.Think twice.

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six year old son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine month old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600.Not bad, huh
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
28.Why did Delta give the author's family credits
A.They took a later flight. B.They had early bookings.
C.Their flight had been delayed. D.Their flight had been cancelled.
29.What can we learn about the author
A.She rarely misses a good deal. B.She seldom makes a compromise.
C.She is very strict with her children. D.She is interested in cheap products.
30.What does the author do
A.She's a teacher. B.She's a housewife.
C.She's a media person. D.She's a businesswoman.
31.What does the author want to tell us
A.How to expose bad tricks. B.How to reserve airline seats.
C.How to spend money wisely. D.How to make a business deal.
D
My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking.He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly.All the while he moved his body to the music. His deskmate Josh couldn't understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don't want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please?”
Mr.Brown didn't answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self control. They seem to do things that are beyond (超出) everyone else's understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What's more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数60左右。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团,马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man dropped his head, and his lips began to shake. The ticket lady again quoted the price. It was obvious that the man didn't have enough money.
How would he turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.

One possible version:
DearWorriedFriend,
You wrote that you couldn't sleep well because of great pressure. I understand your feelings in the freshman year. Therefore, I'd like to offer you some suggestions.
Firstly, I recommend that you talk to someone you trust, which is obviously a good way of sharing your feelings and getting support. Secondly, extra curricular activities and team games with classmates will also be helpful to get rid of your pressure. So, why not work out regularly This way, you will feel energetic and improve your sleep quality.
I hope you'll find my advice useful. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
LiHua
