The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County.It is an ancient tradition,which brings men and women together through food,gifts and music.
In the days before the festival,young women gather leaves and wild flowers,which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours.This brightly coloured rice,known as Sister Rice,gives the festival its name.During the festival,the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry (首饰).
The festival includes parades(游行),horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction (互动)between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song,a man and a woman take turns singing to each other,and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift,but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too.
After meeting the men,the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example,a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man,while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love:The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son as was traditional at the time.She refused,and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time,they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally,the pair overcame their parents’opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.

The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County.It is an ancient tradition,which brings men and women together through food,gifts and music.
In the days before the festival,young women gather leaves and wild flowers,which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours.This brightly coloured rice,known as Sister Rice,gives the festival its name.During the festival,the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry (首饰).
The festival includes parades(游行),horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction (互动)between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song,a man and a woman take turns singing to each other,and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift,but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too.
After meeting the men,the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example,a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man,while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love:The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son as was traditional at the time.She refused,and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time,they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally,the pair overcame their parents’opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.

B.To sell them and make money.
C.To give sticky rice different colours.
D.To cover some objects in a basket.

D.Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman.

B.they were not married in the end
C.the boy refused to marry the girl at first
D.the rice in the bamboo basket carried their love

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。中秋节是中国仅次于春节的第二重要的节日,传统上是在中国农历八月十五日。文章介绍了中秋节的一些习俗和饮食习惯。阅读本文,有利于培养学生了解和传承中华民族优秀传统文化的意识。
答案及剖析:
1.falls 考查时态和主谓一致。根据后文“on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar”可知,陈述客观事实用一般现在时,且or连接的并列成分作主语时,其谓语通常要与最靠近的主语保持一致,即与the Moon Festival保持一致,谓语动词用第三人称单数。
2.was observed 考查时态和语态。根据上文“In the past”,用一般过去时,主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为the Moon Festival,谓语动词用单数。
3.for 考查介词。此处表示“感谢……”,短语为give thanks for。
4.celebration 考查名词。根据上文不定冠词a可知,应填单数名词celebration,作表语。
5.a 考查冠词。table为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且round的发音是以辅音音素开头,应用a。
6.sharing 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“包括做某事”,短语为include doing sth.,与上下文的“eating”和“worshiping”一致,后跟动名词作宾语。
7.eaten 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,eat在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语foods构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作定语。
8.freshest 考查形容词最高级。根据上文定冠词以及后文“and most nutritious”可知,应填形容词最高级freshest,表示“最新鲜的”。
9.what 考查宾语从句。此处为宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指事物,应用what。
10.to enjoy 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“选择做某事”,短语为choose to do sth.。(共78张PPT)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

The craziest Food Festival sounds like a joke topic,but once you start looking into it,you’ll realise they’re everywhere—the crazier,
the better.
The Bibimbap Festival
In Korea,their “mixed rice”dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef,a rainbow of vegetables,a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much.They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music,entertainment and magic,but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
The Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well,it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii,along with a grass skirt and garland (花环).The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam,a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
The Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time,for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷)—15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk(市民).
The Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville,Minnesota,the US.Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests,as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.

B.People spend one day preparing the Spam.
C.The Spam isn’t affordable for the plain townsfolk.
D.The Spam is mainly made from raw beef.

B
The Chongyang Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar,so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn,at harvest-time.
The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain,carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气),and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in the Han Dynasty,about 2,000 years ago,people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival.For many,it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved (发展成) into present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain
The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”,a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”.Mountains are high,so eating cakes can,by a stretch of the imagination,take the place of going for a climb.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了重阳节的时间、历史起源、命名及人们的庆祝方式。阅读本文,有利于丰富学生的文化知识,培养其传承文化的意识。
4.Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on the Chongyang Festival
A.Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.
B.Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.
C.Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.
D.Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits
and prevent one from chill.
答案及剖析:
4.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第三段简要介绍了茱萸这种植物,它具有浓郁的香气,可以用作中草药,但是这些都不是重阳节人们携带茱萸的原因,而“People in ancient times believed it could drive away...chill(寒意) in late autumn.”说的才是这一风俗产生的原因。故选D。
5.People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival .
A.to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter
B.to get some dogwoods
C.to climb a high platform
D.to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery
答案及剖析:
5.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第四段最后提到重阳节的风俗发展成了现在的形式,在这一天人们爬山锻炼身体,同时欣赏秋天的风景。故选D。
6.People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because .
A.the Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”
B.the Chinese word “Gao”for “cake”has the same sound with the
Chinese word for “high”
C.they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival
D.they like eating cakes
答案及剖析:
6.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。最后一段讲的是平原地区的人们过重阳节的习俗。他们远离大山,无法登高。由于在汉语中,“糕”与“高”同音,他们用吃糕的方式过重阳节。故选B。
7.Which of the following is TRUE
A.The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th.
B.People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the
Han Dynasty.
C.People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air.
D.Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains.
答案及剖析:
7.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。重阳节是中国农历的九月初九并不是阳历9月9日;汉朝时人们只是登上高地,并不一定是爬山;吃糕点只是寓意爬山,并不是说明两种活动相像;在第二段则提到了“The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for...traditional activities of the festival.”。故选C。

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一位旅客将一幅昂贵的画落在了机场。他的侄子经过侦查,找到了画。阅读本文,有利于培养学生做事要认真细致的意识。
文章脉络
答案及剖析:
1.B 根据下文“our pre-flight ‘to-do’list”可知,此处是短语make a list(列出清单)。
2.B 此处是短语go wrong意为“出错,出问题”。根据下文“...one unlucky passenger who accidentally 3 a painting worth $340,000 at Dusseldorf Airport”可知,一位乘客把一幅昂贵的画落在机场,是出了错误(wrong)。
3.D 根据下文“ask them to look for the 16 × 24-inch work”可知,这位乘客是将画遗忘(left)在了机场。left意为“留下,落下,遗忘”。
4.B 根据“his flight to Tel Aviv”可知,他在登上(boarded)去特拉维夫的飞机时,将画遗忘了。boarded意为“登机”。
5.A 根据上文“a painting worth $340,000”可知,他将画(painting)包好。
6.C 按照生活常识,丢了东西,应该是联系(contacted)机场帮忙寻找。
7.D 根据上文“a painting”可知,Yves Tanguyart是法国的一位画家(artist)。
8.C 根据上文“it seemed to have disappeared into thin air”可知,关于丢失的画没有任何消息(news)。
9.A 根据上文“He immediately 6 airport authorities”和“With no
8 coming”可知,商人给机场打电话,没有得到任何信息,因此商人的侄子决定自己解决这件事。此处是短语take matters into one’s hands,意为“自己解决问题,亲自动手”。
10.C 根据上文提到的“it seemed to have disappeared into thin air”和下文提到的“the cardboard-coated painting had found its way into a paper recycling bin”可知,后来发现这幅画被扔进了废纸回收箱。找到了这幅昂贵的画,应该是谢天谢地(Thankfully)。
11.B 根据“the puzzle”可知,应该是关于这个谜题的线索(clues)。
12.C 根据下文“the cardboard-coated painting had found its way into a paper recycling bin”可知,经过调查,他们最终断定(decided)这幅画被扔进了废纸回收箱。
13.A 此处是短语conduct a search,意为“进行搜寻”。他们在回收箱里寻找这幅画。
14.B 根据下文“Tragedy(悲剧) avoided.Artwork saved.”可知,这幅昂贵的画并没有被损坏(unharmed)。
15.D 画终于被找到,应该是最高兴的(happiest)事情。Part 2 Listening and Talking,Reading for Writing,Assessing Your Progress

The craziest Food Festival sounds like a joke topic,but once you start looking into it,you’ll realise they’re everywhere—the crazier,the better.
The Bibimbap Festival
In Korea,their “mixed rice”dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef,a rainbow of vegetables,a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much.They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music,entertainment and magic,but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
The Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well,it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii,along with a grass skirt and garland (花环).The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam,a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
The Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time,for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) —15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk (市民).
The Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville,Minnesota,the US.Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests,as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.

答案及剖析:

2.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据Waikiki Spam Jam部分中的“Well,it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii,along with a grass skirt and garland(花环).”可知,午餐肉是夏威夷人最喜欢的食物。
3.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据Potato Days Festival部分中的“Over the last Friday and Saturday in August...contests”可知,如果在八月有时间,你可以去巴恩斯维尔镇举办的土豆节。
B
The Chongyang Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar,so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn,at harvest-time.The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain,carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气),and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in the Han Dynasty,about 2,000 years ago,people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival.For many,it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved (发展成) into present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”,a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”.Mountains are high,so eating cakes can,by a stretch of the imagination,take the place of going for a climb.
4.Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on the Chongyang Festival
A.Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.
B.Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.
C.Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.
D.Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill.
5.People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival .
A.to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter
B.to get some dogwoods
C.to climb a high platform
D.to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery
6.People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because .
A.the Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”
B.the Chinese word “Gao”for “cake”has the same sound with the Chinese word for “high”
C.they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival
D.they like eating cakes
7.Which of the following is TRUE
A.The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th.
B.People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the Han Dynasty.
C.People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air.
D.Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了重阳节的时间、历史起源、命名及人们的庆祝方式。阅读本文,有利于丰富学生的文化知识,培养其传承文化的意识。
答案及剖析:
4.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第三段简要介绍了茱萸这种植物,它具有浓郁的香气,可以用作中草药,但是这些都不是重阳节人们携带茱萸的原因,而“People in ancient times believed it could drive away...chill(寒意) in late autumn.”说的才是这一风俗产生的原因。故选D。
5.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第四段最后提到重阳节的风俗发展成了现在的形式,在这一天人们爬山锻炼身体,同时欣赏秋天的风景。故选D。
6.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。最后一段讲的是平原地区的人们过重阳节的习俗。他们远离大山,无法登高。由于在汉语中,“糕”与“高”同音,他们用吃糕的方式过重阳节。故选B。
7.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。重阳节是中国农历的九月初九并不是阳历9月9日;汉朝时人们只是登上高地,并不一定是爬山;吃糕点只是寓意爬山,并不是说明两种活动相像;在第二段则提到了“The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for...traditional activities of the festival.”。故选C。

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一位旅客将一幅昂贵的画落在了机场。他的侄子经过侦查,找到了画。阅读本文,有利于培养学生做事要认真细致的意识。
文章脉络
答案及剖析:
1.B 根据下文“our pre-flight ‘to-do’list”可知,此处是短语make a list(列出清单)。
2.B 此处是短语go wrong意为“出错,出问题”。根据下文“...one unlucky passenger who accidentally 3 a painting worth $340,000 at Dusseldorf Airport”可知,一位乘客把一幅昂贵的画落在机场,是出了错误(wrong)。
3.D 根据下文“ask them to look for the 16 × 24-inch work”可知,这位乘客是将画遗忘(left)在了机场。left意为“留下,落下,遗忘”。
4.B 根据“his flight to Tel Aviv”可知,他在登上(boarded)去特拉维夫的飞机时,将画遗忘了。boarded意为“登机”。
5.A 根据上文“a painting worth $340,000”可知,他将画(painting)包好。
6.C 按照生活常识,丢了东西,应该是联系(contacted)机场帮忙寻找。
7.D 根据上文“a painting”可知,Yves Tanguyart是法国的一位画家(artist)。
8.C 根据上文“it seemed to have disappeared into thin air”可知,关于丢失的画没有任何消息(news)。
9.A 根据上文“He immediately 6 airport authorities”和“With no 8 coming”可知,商人给机场打电话,没有得到任何信息,因此商人的侄子决定自己解决这件事。此处是短语take matters into one’s hands,意为“自己解决问题,亲自动手”。
10.C 根据上文提到的“it seemed to have disappeared into thin air”和下文提到的“the cardboard-coated painting had found its way into a paper recycling bin”可知,后来发现这幅画被扔进了废纸回收箱。找到了这幅昂贵的画,应该是谢天谢地(Thankfully)。
11.B 根据“the puzzle”可知,应该是关于这个谜题的线索(clues)。
12.C 根据下文“the cardboard-coated painting had found its way into a paper recycling bin”可知,经过调查,他们最终断定(decided)这幅画被扔进了废纸回收箱。
13.A 此处是短语conduct a search,意为“进行搜寻”。他们在回收箱里寻找这幅画。
14.B 根据下文“Tragedy(悲剧) avoided.Artwork saved.”可知,这幅昂贵的画并没有被损坏(unharmed)。
15.D 画终于被找到,应该是最高兴的(happiest)事情。

The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world.In Britain,people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away,and to welcome in the new one at midnight.Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend,
girlfriend or even a complete stranger) as the bells ring out at midnight.
In recent years,street parties have become more popular.Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares,main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous firework displays.
For people who stay at home,most watch special,live New Year shows on TV and countdown,along with the presenters,from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland,on New Year’s Eve,people visit their neighbours and drink,dance and generally have a good time.If you’re invited to a Scottish home,it’s important to know what to bring with you:a lump of coal,some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year.The shortbread represents food,so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year.Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”,so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts,it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can.The first person to knock on a neighbour’s door is supposed to be a tall,dark,handsome man.If you are,you’ll bring good luck to the household.But what if that’s not you Well,
don’t ring the bell just yet.Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!

B.To help those poor families.
C.To send best wishes to the families.
D.To show respect and richness.

It’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer.Pretty soon,they could be making your bed and breakfast,too.
Increasingly,engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your panies including General Electric are working on designs for small robots.Products like the Roomba,a robot that can clean floors,are flying off the shelves.
What’s behind this new robot revolution It’s partly a matter of technology.Devices that can recognise and respond to a human voice have been developed.There are now a few different ways for robots to move around.They can walk,crawl or ride on wheels.Robots are being made smaller and smaller.They are also becoming more and more able.
A bigger part of the story is on the demand side.From the day the television remote control was invented,people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy.Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots,and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.
To be sure,robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off.However,robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon.One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes,things will change forever.
28.The underlined part “flying off the shelves”in the second paragraph means .
A.selling well
B.cleaning the shelves smartly
C.flying freely
D.dropping onto the floor

C.Cleaning floors.
D.Looking after kids and pets.

C.General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.
D.Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us.
语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人的最新发展动态。随着社会的需求及科技的发展,做家务的机器人有望很快上市。阅读本文,有利于增强学生对科技发展与信息技术创新的关注。
答案及剖析:
28.A 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测短语意义的能力。画线短语所在句子的主语是Products like the Roomba (像Roomba这样的产品),是举例。段落中的举例总是为证明段落中心句而存在的。根据本段首句“Increasingly,engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home.”可知,本段主要讲机器人将进入家庭。所以可推知画线短语flying off the shelves(飞离货架)的意思为:极其畅销。故选A。
29.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第二段中的“Products like the Roomba,a robot that can clean floors (像Roomba这样的产品,是能清扫地面的机器人)”可知,Roomba可以清扫地面。故选C。
30.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由文章第三段首句
“What’s behind this new robot revolution It’s partly a matter of technology.”及第四段首句“A bigger part of the story is on the demand side.(更大一部分是需求。)”可知,机器人改革中起更大作用的是消费者的大量需求。故选D。
31.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由最后一段中的“To be sure,robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off.”可知,能用两条腿走路、像人一样说话的机器人离我们还很远。故选D。
D
We have to admit that reading is not a pleasant thing at school.Reading is not based on a child’s interests,but to cope with tests.When children are little,we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they “know”all the words they are reading.This means that when they don’t know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day,I said to them,“Now,I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for fun.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not to ask you what words mean.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that’s enough for me.”
The children sat shocked and silent.Was this a teacher talking One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,“Mr Holt,do you really mean that ”I said just as seriously,“I mean every word of it.”
Later,she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸).I said,“Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going ”She answered,“Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading should be.Let the students make their own decisions,find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it and go on to something else.
32.What did the teacher tell his students to read for
A.For pleasure.
B.For knowledge.
C.For a larger vocabulary.
D.For higher scores in exams.
33.On hearing the teacher’s talk,how did the children probably feel
A.Stupid.
B.Unreasonable.
C.Understandable.
D.Too good to be true.
34.What can we learn from the girl
A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She turned out to be a top student through reading.
C.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
D.She learnt to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
35.What is the teacher’s point of view in the passage
A.Reading requires teachers’guidance.
B.Reading helps students do well in school.
C.Children should be left to decide what to read.
D.Children cannot tell good parts from bad ones.
语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者要求学生们为了乐趣读书的故事。阅读本文,有利于培养学生热爱读书、热爱学习的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第二段中的“Now,I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for fun.”可知,老师告诉学生读书是为了乐趣。故选A。
33.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章第一段中的“After having taught fifth-grade classes...read oftener and more adventurously.”和第二段中的“Now,I would like you to read...read them only for fun.”以及第三段中的“The children sat shocked and silent.Was this a teacher talking ”可推断,听到老师的话,孩子们可能觉得老师让他们为了乐趣读书的做法好到令人难以置信。故选D。
34.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章倒数第二段中的“I said,‘Don’t you find...go on to the next good part.’”可知,女孩学会了欣赏难懂书籍的某些部分。故选D。
35.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章最后一段可推断,文章中老师认为应该让孩子们自己决定读什么。故选C。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了哈尔滨国际冰雪节。阅读本文,有利于丰富学生文化知识,培养其文化意识。
答案及剖析:
56.has become 考查时态和主谓一致。so far表明用现在完成时,主语为It,故填has become。
57.What 考查主语从句。此处为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示“……的事物”,故填What。
petition 考查名词。and表示并列相同成分,此处与festival并列,故填名词competition。
59.increasing 考查非谓语动词。keep doing表示“继续或持续做”,故填increasing。
60.astonishing 考查形容词。此处修饰物,用-ing结尾的形容词,表示“令人……的”,故填astonishing。
61.officially 考查副词。此处修饰谓语动词应用副词,故填officially。
62.on/upon 考查介词。固定搭配depend on/upon表示“依靠,取决于”,故填on/upon。
63.are loved 考查时态和语态。文章基础时态为一般现在时;此处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,that指代“ice lanterns,magical figures and animals”,与love之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are loved。
64.aimed 考查非谓语动词。an ice world与aim之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填aimed。
65.the 考查冠词。此处特指哈尔滨国际冰雪节,故填the。
