Ⅰ.阅读理解
Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.
My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.
This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.
The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here！”rang through the warm kitchen. Dad's active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆)．This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.
In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion.His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.
I'm not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire.I know that that moment will certainly last forever.This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory — one that I will always treasure.
语篇解读：“我”的爸爸患了痴呆，他识不清大家的面孔，也记不清楚地点和时间段。但是，在一个圣诞夜，爸爸居然跟我们一起玩起了游戏。这是我记忆中最难忘也最美好的圣诞节。
1．The method the writer uses to develop the second paragraph is________.
A．offering analyses B．providing details
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
解析：选B 写作手法题。第二段描述了小侄子玩球，看到父亲时的困惑；父亲看到球又是如何反应的，都是细节描写，所以B项正确。
2．The author's father's active participation in the game surprised the author because________.
A．it was the first time he had taken part in such a game
B．he was able to recognize his family members clearly
C．he could have a rest and relax by playing the ball game
D．he could recognize the ball and react accordingly, despite his illness
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第四段内容可知在患了痴呆之后，父亲能够反应敏捷，并跟我们玩游戏，这才是最令我记忆深刻并为之触动的，所以D项正确；A、C项文中没有提到；由第四段“This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people ...”可知B项错误。
3．What can we learn about the author's father from the text
A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.
B．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.
C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.

解析：选A 细节理解题。由第四段“This disease had robbed him of many memories ...”可知A项正确；由第五段“In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare.”可知B项错误；由第五段“His favorite game was chess ...”可知父亲教“我”下棋，但没有提到教“我”打篮球或者玩传球游戏，所以C项错误；由第五段“... never showed nor shared much emotion”可知D项错误。
4．What would be the best title for this text
A．A Son's Love
B．A Father's Smiles
C．The Happiness of a Sick Father
D．Unforgettable Memories at Christmas
解析：选D 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是圣诞夜发生的关于父亲的难忘的事，所以D项最为恰当。

As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns about the various skills you would like your child to acquire. Music is one of them. __1__ On the other hand, it is great for a child's overall development if he or she has an interest in art.
__2__ The concentration helps them with their grades. Their learning and communication skills will be better than others of their own age. They also develop lots of confidence and self esteem.
Another advantage of your child to learn music becomes apparent only at a later stage. __3__ It can be very beneficial and many top musicians have a very early exposure to music and connect this with their later success.
You can start when your child is only a baby, by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home. __4__ And you could sustain your child's interest by having both of you singing together.
Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age. This is great if the child is having a good time, especially when a child's brain has a wonderful capacity for mastering new skills. It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons. You can be assured that nothing productive will come out of it. __5__
If you start your child on music lessons by the age of 5, taking care to encourage him or her and not to push him or her, your child will grow up into an accomplished adult with a well rounded personality.
A．It can have good effects on your child.
B．This is selecting music as a career.
C．And your child will have a lifelong dislike of music.
D．Otherwise, you'll completely spoil your child's future.
E．You could ensure that there is a song or tune played in the background.
F．The advantages of teaching children to play a musical instrument are many.
G．On the one hand, you can encourage your child's creativity and natural hobby.
语篇解读：音乐可以培养人的情操，让孩子从小接触音乐益处颇多，甚至会让其受益终生。
1．解析：选G 由空后的“On the other hand”提示可知本空应该是讲“一方面”，所以选G项。
2．解析：选F 第二段主要讲某事的好处，所以选项F能概括本段主旨。
3．解析：选B 由下文中的“many top musicians have a very early exposure to music and connect this with their later success”可知此处应该是讲兴趣培养与职业选择的关系。4.解析：选E 由下文中的“having both of you singing together”可以推断“在有音乐背景的环境下”，所以此处选E。
5．解析：选C 前文“should not have to”及“nothing productive will come of it”可知本空应该是讲相对消极的作用，C项符合语境。

__5__ great Chinese poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty once compared Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face to blooming peonies (牡丹). Flowering in May, peonies' large petals and strong colors are linked to prosperity and __6__ (rich) in traditional Chinese culture.
The orchid (兰花) is well known for its delicate smell. Beautiful articles and poems __7__ (call) “lanzhang” by Chinese people in ancient times.
Roses, of course, have the __8__ (colorful) meaning among all the flowers. Red roses, to this day, mean “I love you.” A red rose, rather than yellow roses, __9__ (act) as the traditional romantic gift given to your love on Valentine's Day. __10__ (send) yellow roses can be risky, as they represent either friendship or envy.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们把花当作信使来表达情感。
1．directly 考查副词。由空前的动词saying可知，此处应用副词修饰，故填directly。
2．what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，同时结合语境“一个人害怕表达什么”，所以填what。
3．that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词为flowers且有形容词最高级修饰，所以空处只能填关系代词that而不能用which。
4．to praise 考查非谓语动词。结合语境可知此处应用不定式作目的状语，所以填to praise。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。
5．The 考查冠词。句中Li Bai作poet的同位语，而介词短语from the Tang Dynasty是后置定语，所以空处应填定冠词The表特指。
6．richness 考查名词。空前and一词决定其前后单词词性相同，and前prosperity (繁荣)是名词，所以空处应该也是名词，形容词rich的名词是richness。
7．were called 考查动词的时态和语态。sth. be called sth. “……被称为……”，是固定搭配；由时间状语“in ancient times (在古代)”可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。
8．most colorful 考查形容词最高级。由句末介词短语“among all the flowers(在所有的花之中)”可知，这里应用形容词的最高级，所以填most colorful。
9．acts 考查动词的时态及主谓一致。本段描述的都是客观情况，故应用一般现在时；句子的主语是A red rose，而不是rather than后的yellow roses，所以谓语动词应该用单数形式，故填acts。
10．Sending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少主语，所以应用动词 ing形式作主语，故填Sending。
Ⅴ.应用文写作
假定你是李华，得知外教Mr. Hall寒假不回国，想邀请他到你家过春节。请给他写一封信，内容包括：
1．时间；
2．一同过节的家人；
3．活动。
注意：
1．词数80左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

Dear Mr. Hall，

4．to praise 考查非谓语动词。结合语境可知此处应用不定式作目的状语，所以填to praise。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。
5．The 考查冠词。句中Li Bai作poet的同位语，而介词短语from the Tang Dynasty是后置定语，所以空处应填定冠词The表特指。
6．richness 考查名词。空前and一词决定其前后单词词性相同，and前prosperity (繁荣)是名词，所以空处应该也是名词，形容词rich的名词是richness。
7．were called 考查动词的时态和语态。sth. be called sth. “……被称为……”，是固定搭配；由时间状语“in ancient times (在古代)”可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。
8．most colorful 考查形容词最高级。由句末介词短语“among all the flowers(在所有的花之中)”可知，这里应用形容词的最高级，所以填most colorful。
9．acts 考查动词的时态及主谓一致。本段描述的都是客观情况，故应用一般现在时；句子的主语是A red rose，而不是rather than后的yellow roses，所以谓语动词应该用单数形式，故填acts。
10．Sending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少主语，所以应用动词 ing形式作主语，故填Sending。
Ⅴ.应用文写作
假定你是李华，得知外教Mr. Hall寒假不回国，想邀请他到你家过春节。请给他写一封信，内容包括：
1．时间；
2．一同过节的家人；
3．活动。
注意：
1．词数80左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
Dear Mr. Hall，
I'm writing to invite you to come to my home to celebrate the Spring Festival which is around the corner. It's traditionally a time for family reunion, so my parents and my brother will all be there. We'll make dumplings together and have a big dinner. We'll also play card games and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. You may even get a gift from my parents. If you're able to come, I'll go and pick you up at your place.
Yours，
Li Hua
