Weyland's Ice Cream Shop has been a favorite of my children and grandchildren for almost 30 years.We have never had a bad experience at Weyland's — the ice cream and the customer service have always been first rate.We love it that we can enjoy a treat while also supporting a local business.Furthermore, we sincerely appreciate the way Marcus Weyland gives back to the community by always giving 50% of his Friday night profits (盈利) to the Metroville Animal Shelter.
I was shocked and saddened to hear the city of Metroville is determined to force Mr.Weyland out of business so that they can turn the ice cream shop into a parking deck (停车场)．By announcing that the parking deck will be “for the use of the public”， the city has the right to buy Mr.Weyland's shop as long as they pay him “fair market value”．
The amount of money that the government will give Mr.Weyland is only what his building is worth now.They are not compensating (赔偿) him for the money it will cost to open a new shop in another location.They are not compensating him for the money he will lose as he moves his business.Moreover, the city will do nothing to help the shop's five employees who will now be out of work.
The city says that the parking deck will be in_the_public's_best_interest,_but what good will another parking deck do for the city Downtown Metroville already has three parking decks, and they are never full.On the other hand, Weyland's is a family run business that employs local citizens and gives back to the community.How can a parking deck be better for the public than Weyland's Ice Cream Shop
Metroville's citizens deserve to keep their beloved ice cream shop.More importantly, Marcus Weyland deserves better treatment from the city of Metroville.
24．What do we know about Weyland's Ice Cream Shop
A．It enjoys a good name.
B．It employs family members only.
C．It doesn't make money on Friday nights.
D．It will be out of business for lack of customers.
25．What can we learn from the text
A．Mr.Weyland asks too much for moving his business.
B．Metroville is in bad need of another parking deck.
C．The government doesn't value local businesses.
D．The government doesn't pay Mr.Weyland fairly.
26．What does the underlined part “in the public's best interest” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．To the public's biggest advantage.
B．Bringing money for the public.
C．Causing great public concern.
D．In the public's demand.
27．For what purpose is the text written
A．To stress the importance of an ice cream shop.
B．To argue against building a new parking deck.
C．To accuse the government of closing an ice cream shop.
D．To persuade the government to care more about the public.

For the last five years, I have been fortunate enough to work on a large vocabulary research project for Cambridge English, the English Vocabulary Profile.You can view the results for free online at www.englishprofile.org.Working with Carol Cassidy, we developed a database (数据库), containing the words and phrases that learners of English around the world typically know and use.We analysed a 50 million word collection of learners' writing from Cambridge English exams, but we also looked at the vocabulary taught in best selling British and American English course books.
We have found that there are some words that are still characteristically British or American.British people have biscuits with their cup of tea or coffee, but Americans have cookies.We have cookies too in Britain, but they are a certain type of biscuit, such as chocolate chip cookies, where the original recipe (配方) is American.A British person goes on holiday, while an American takes a vacation; you visit a city centre in Britain but go downtown in the US.
A few words have different meanings across the two varieties of English, which could cause some embarrassment (尴尬): Americans who are wearing pants have their legs covered, but if a British person is dressed only in pants, they are in their underwear (clothes that you wear next to your body under your other clothes)! And if you need to fill up your car with fuel, you can ask for gas in the US, but you need to buy petrol in Britain, as “gas” is not a liquid (液体) in British English.
Overall, though, our research shows that British and American English are still very close to each other.The 10 most common words (the, of, to, and, a, in, that, is, for and I) are the same in both countries, and most of the UK's 5,000 most common words are also in the USA's top 5,000.
28．What can we learn about the project the author worked on
A．It offers vocabulary courses online.
B．It is based on powerful evidence.
C．It is a study on English exams.
D．It aims to collect new words.
29．What may British people refer to when they say “cookies”？
A．Tiny chocolate cakes.
B．Biscuits made in Britain.
C．American biscuit recipes.
D．A variety of biscuit.
30．Which sentence may be proper when you chat with British people
A．My car has run out of liquid!
B．It is great to wear pants for the party.
C．I'll fill my car up with gas immediately.
D．I bought the pants in that shop yesterday.
31．What do the numbers in the last paragraph show
A．British and American English are still very similar.
B．The most common English words have changed greatly.
C．Short words are most commonly used in the English language.
D．The differences between British and American English are obvious.
D
As an adult, I like nothing better than to sit on the beach reading. If I have a satisfying reading time on the beach, I will be happy for many days. However, I'm sad to say it isn't really a thing for children. Most children would rather play in the waves or play with sand. But the truth is that even when children are on vacation, they need reading time that we, adults, look forward to. The method is getting them to sit for 5 or 10 minutes to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
Books can probably get wet or filled with sand. They are then pretty much ruined. Some book chapters (章节) may be a little long. Your children may be willing to sit for 10 minutes. However, they may be annoyed at reading if it takes longer than 10 minutes. And if your children are similar to my daughter, they are likely to love reading on the beach.
Every time I go to the beach with my daughter, I will bring a magazine for her. Generally, magazines are not too heavy. They can also be thrown away if they get wet. Besides, they provide just the right amount of reading when my daughter is ready to sit under the sun umbrella. Literary (文学的) magazines like Cricket, Spider and Ladybug will allow your children to read wonderful fiction. Discovery magazines like Click, Dig, and Faces have articles on all sorts of topics that will excite and interest your children. And like the short stories in the literary magazines, these articles have the right length (长度) for reading on the beach.
So don't leave magazines behind when you pack your bags! Put a magazine or two in the pocket of the bag and when your children need a few minutes to relax, pull it out and get them to sit for 10 minutes or so.
32．What are most children unwilling to do on the beach
A．Play freely. B．Make sand castles.
C．Have fun in the waves. D．Read books.
33．What does the author really want to say in Paragraph 2
A．Reading is most children's favorite activity on vacation.
B．Books are not the best choice for reading on the beach.
C．Kids don't spend a lot of time reading books on vacation.
D．It's a pity to throw away books that are ruined by water.
34．Which of the following magazines is different from the others
A．Click. B．Faces.
C．Cricket. D．Dig.
35．What can we know about the author's daughter
A．She likes to read literary magazines.
B．She reads a lot of books during holiday.
C．She usually reads magazines on the beach.
D．She usually spends more than 10 minutes reading on the beach.

Things to stop doing if you want to exercise
How many times have you been told doing exercise is great Yet, we regularly spend time not exercising.However, there are several things you can stop doing to help you make up your mind to exercise.
Stop waiting to feel like exercising.After 20 years of exercise, it's a rare morning that I really feel like getting out of bed at 5：30 for a workout (锻炼)．__36__ So, why do I do it It isn't the wish to exercise that gets me out of bed, but a combination of habit and discipline (纪律)．
Stop setting unrealistic (不切实际的) goals.Yes, it seems like working out for a week or two should produce a good result — your pants should be falling off your body after all that pain and suffering.The reality is a little less than thrilling.__37__ Sometimes it's even worse — you may actually gain weight.This usually lasts for a limited time, but it's still no fun to experience.
Stop making excuses.We can all come up with tons of reasons to leave exercise out.We're too busy.We're tired.__38__ Strangely enough, people who exercise have the same problems, but they somehow manage to exercise every day.
__39__ If there's one thing that's certain in life, it's that we will fail.You are likely to fail in taking exercise.It's not that you are weak.__40__ There will be times when you're sick, injured, on vacation or going through something that forces you to give up your exercise program.It's just what happens.The trick isn't to try to be perfect, but to allow for those times in your life when you just can't work out.
A．Stop being afraid to fail.
B．I don't even want to get up at all.
C．We really need to clean out the car.
D．Stop waiting for the perfect time to exercise.
E．Too often, we wait for the reason to exercise.
F．It's simply that you can't expect to be able to exercise all the time.
G．Sometimes, nothing much happens except sore muscles and disappointment.

Weyland's Ice Cream Shop has been a favorite of my children and grandchildren for almost 30 years.We have never had a bad experience at Weyland's — the ice cream and the customer service have always been first rate.We love it that we can enjoy a treat while also supporting a local business.Furthermore, we sincerely appreciate the way Marcus Weyland gives back to the community by always giving 50% of his Friday night profits (盈利) to the Metroville Animal Shelter.
I was shocked and saddened to hear the city of Metroville is determined to force Mr.Weyland out of business so that they can turn the ice cream shop into a parking deck (停车场)．By announcing that the parking deck will be “for the use of the public”， the city has the right to buy Mr.Weyland's shop as long as they pay him “fair market value”．
The amount of money that the government will give Mr.Weyland is only what his building is worth now.They are not compensating (赔偿) him for the money it will cost to open a new shop in another location.They are not compensating him for the money he will lose as he moves his business.Moreover, the city will do nothing to help the shop's five employees who will now be out of work.
The city says that the parking deck will be in_the_public's_best_interest,_but what good will another parking deck do for the city Downtown Metroville already has three parking decks, and they are never full.On the other hand, Weyland's is a family run business that employs local citizens and gives back to the community.How can a parking deck be better for the public than Weyland's Ice Cream Shop
Metroville's citizens deserve to keep their beloved ice cream shop.More importantly, Marcus Weyland deserves better treatment from the city of Metroville.
语篇解读：本文是夹叙夹议文。文章作者认为Metroville市政府不应以建停车场为由逼迫市民喜爱的冰淇淋店搬迁。
24．What do we know about Weyland's Ice Cream Shop
A．It enjoys a good name.
B．It employs family members only.
C．It doesn't make money on Friday nights.
D．It will be out of business for lack of customers.
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第一段可知，开了几十年的冰激凌店的冰激凌、服务都很好，还坚持做善事。由此可推知，冰激凌店的口碑很好。
25．What can we learn from the text
A．Mr.Weyland asks too much for moving his business.
B．Metroville is in bad need of another parking deck.
C．The government doesn't value local businesses.
D．The government doesn't pay Mr.Weyland fairly.
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句及第三段可知，政府认为建停车场是为了公众使用，只要付给冰激凌店铺公平的市价就可以了。但是没有考虑到其他的费用。由此可知，政府的出价并不公平。
26．What does the underlined part “in the public's best interest” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．To the public's biggest advantage.
B．Bringing money for the public.
C．Causing great public concern.
D．In the public's demand.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。由画线部分之后的“...but what good will another parking deck do for the city？”可知，in the public's best interest此处意为“对公众最有利”。
27．For what purpose is the text written
A．To stress the importance of an ice cream shop.
B．To argue against building a new parking deck.
C．To accuse the government of closing an ice cream shop.
D．To persuade the government to care more about the public.
解析：选C 写作意图题。由文中作者对市政府的决定的反应是震惊、悲伤、失望，及作者抱怨市里不需要更多停车场及补偿费不够等可知，本文旨在谴责政府强迫冰激凌店搬迁的做法。
C
For the last five years, I have been fortunate enough to work on a large vocabulary research project for Cambridge English, the English Vocabulary Profile.You can view the results for free online at www.englishprofile.org.Working with Carol Cassidy, we developed a database (数据库), containing the words and phrases that learners of English around the world typically know and use.We analysed a 50 million word collection of learners' writing from Cambridge English exams, but we also looked at the vocabulary taught in best selling British and American English course books.
We have found that there are some words that are still characteristically British or American.British people have biscuits with their cup of tea or coffee, but Americans have cookies.We have cookies too in Britain, but they are a certain type of biscuit, such as chocolate chip cookies, where the original recipe (配方) is American.A British person goes on holiday, while an American takes a vacation; you visit a city centre in Britain but go downtown in the US.
A few words have different meanings across the two varieties of English, which could cause some embarrassment (尴尬): Americans who are wearing pants have their legs covered, but if a British person is dressed only in pants, they are in their underwear (clothes that you wear next to your body under your other clothes)! And if you need to fill up your car with fuel, you can ask for gas in the US, but you need to buy petrol in Britain, as “gas” is not a liquid (液体) in British English.
Overall, though, our research shows that British and American English are still very close to each other.The 10 most common words (the, of, to, and, a, in, that, is, for and I) are the same in both countries, and most of the UK's 5,000 most common words are also in the USA's top 5,000.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。作者参与了一项关于英式英语和美式英语的研究，发现两种英语依然大同小异。
28．What can we learn about the project the author worked on
A．It offers vocabulary courses online.
B．It is based on powerful evidence.
C．It is a study on English exams.
D．It aims to collect new words.
解析：选B 推理判断题。由第一段的“We analysed a 50 million word collection ...course books.”可知，作者所参与的这个研究项目基于可信的依据。
29．What may British people refer to when they say “cookies”？
A．Tiny chocolate cakes.
B．Biscuits made in Britain.
C．American biscuit recipes.
D．A variety of biscuit.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第二段的“We have cookies too in Britain, but they are a certain type of biscuit”可知，当英国人说cookies时，实际指的是一种源自美国配方的特定饼干，如美式巧克力曲奇。
30．Which sentence may be proper when you chat with British people
A．My car has run out of liquid!
B．It is great to wear pants for the party.
C．I'll fill my car up with gas immediately.
D．I bought the pants in that shop yesterday.
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第三段作者列举英式和美式英语中一些单词的细微差别可知，pants在英国指的是一种内衣，而在美国则指长裤。故与英国人交谈时D项说法中的pants没有特指是哪种类型的衣服，故应该是合理的。
31．What do the numbers in the last paragraph show
A．British and American English are still very similar.
B．The most common English words have changed greatly.
C．Short words are most commonly used in the English language.
D．The differences between British and American English are obvious.
解析：选A 推理判断题。最后一段的“Overall, though, our research shows that British and American English are still very close to each other.”即本段主旨句，该段落中提到的数字是为了说明英式英语和美式英语依然非常相似。
D
As an adult, I like nothing better than to sit on the beach reading. If I have a satisfying reading time on the beach, I will be happy for many days. However, I'm sad to say it isn't really a thing for children. Most children would rather play in the waves or play with sand. But the truth is that even when children are on vacation, they need reading time that we, adults, look forward to. The method is getting them to sit for 5 or 10 minutes to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
Books can probably get wet or filled with sand. They are then pretty much ruined. Some book chapters (章节) may be a little long. Your children may be willing to sit for 10 minutes. However, they may be annoyed at reading if it takes longer than 10 minutes. And if your children are similar to my daughter, they are likely to love reading on the beach.
Every time I go to the beach with my daughter, I will bring a magazine for her. Generally, magazines are not too heavy. They can also be thrown away if they get wet. Besides, they provide just the right amount of reading when my daughter is ready to sit under the sun umbrella. Literary (文学的) magazines like Cricket, Spider and Ladybug will allow your children to read wonderful fiction. Discovery magazines like Click, Dig, and Faces have articles on all sorts of topics that will excite and interest your children. And like the short stories in the literary magazines, these articles have the right length (长度) for reading on the beach.
So don't leave magazines behind when you pack your bags! Put a magazine or two in the pocket of the bag and when your children need a few minutes to relax, pull it out and get them to sit for 10 minutes or so.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。在沙滩度假时，大部分孩子不喜欢看书；而对作者而言，这是一种非常不错的享受，因此他提出了自己的看法。
32．What are most children unwilling to do on the beach
A．Play freely. B．Make sand castles.
C．Have fun in the waves. D．Read books.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, I'm sad to say it isn't really a thing for children. Most children would rather play in the waves or play with sand.”可知，在沙滩度假时，大部分孩子宁愿在波浪中戏耍、玩沙，也不愿意看书。
33．What does the author really want to say in Paragraph 2
A．Reading is most children's favorite activity on vacation.
B．Books are not the best choice for reading on the beach.
C．Kids don't spend a lot of time reading books on vacation.
D．It's a pity to throw away books that are ruined by water.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，作者认为书不是在沙滩阅读的最佳选择。
34．Which of the following magazines is different from the others
A．Click. B．Faces.
C．Cricket. D．Dig.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Literary (文学的) magazines like Cricket, Spider and Ladybug will allow your children to read wonderful fiction.”可知，Cricket属于文学杂志，而其他三项属于探索杂志。
35．What can we know about the author's daughter
A．She likes to read literary magazines.
B．She reads a lot of books during holiday.
C．She usually reads magazines on the beach.
D．She usually spends more than 10 minutes reading on the beach.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“And if your children are similar to my daughter, they are likely to love reading on the beach.”和第三段的“... provide just the right amount of reading when my daughter is ready to sit under the sun umbrella.”可推断，作者的女儿在沙滩度假时经常会阅读杂志。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Things to stop doing if you want to exercise
How many times have you been told doing exercise is great Yet, we regularly spend time not exercising.However, there are several things you can stop doing to help you make up your mind to exercise.
Stop waiting to feel like exercising.After 20 years of exercise, it's a rare morning that I really feel like getting out of bed at 5：30 for a workout (锻炼)．__36__ So, why do I do it It isn't the wish to exercise that gets me out of bed, but a combination of habit and discipline (纪律)．
Stop setting unrealistic (不切实际的) goals.Yes, it seems like working out for a week or two should produce a good result — your pants should be falling off your body after all that pain and suffering.The reality is a little less than thrilling.__37__ Sometimes it's even worse — you may actually gain weight.This usually lasts for a limited time, but it's still no fun to experience.
Stop making excuses.We can all come up with tons of reasons to leave exercise out.We're too busy.We're tired.__38__ Strangely enough, people who exercise have the same problems, but they somehow manage to exercise every day.
__39__ If there's one thing that's certain in life, it's that we will fail.You are likely to fail in taking exercise.It's not that you are weak.__40__ There will be times when you're sick, injured, on vacation or going through something that forces you to give up your exercise program.It's just what happens.The trick isn't to try to be perfect, but to allow for those times in your life when you just can't work out.
A．Stop being afraid to fail.
B．I don't even want to get up at all.
C．We really need to clean out the car.
D．Stop waiting for the perfect time to exercise.
E．Too often, we wait for the reason to exercise.
F．It's simply that you can't expect to be able to exercise all the time.
G．Sometimes, nothing much happens except sore muscles and disappointment.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。如果你想要下定决心坚持锻炼，就应该摒弃一些关于锻炼的错误认知。36.解析：选B 上一句作者提到20年来他很少愿意早起，B项说自己甚至不想起床，两句之间是递进关系。
37．解析：选G 根据本空后的“Sometimes it's even worse”可知，此处也是说一种锻炼达不到预期的糟糕情况，G项说有时候锻炼只会带来酸痛的肌肉和失望，故为正确答案。
38．解析：选C 本段主旨是停止找借口不去锻炼，C项就是上文提到的“tons of reasons”中的一个借口，与本空前的两句话构成并列。
39．解析：选A 此处需要一个主旨句。根据本段中的关键信息词fail可知A项为正确答案。
40．解析：选F 上一句说不能坚持锻炼的原因并非是因为无能，F项说的是真正的原因，两句中的“It's not that”和“It's simply that”形成对比。此外，下文举的例子正是对F项的补充说明。

Sound an alarm.__45__ is an obvious concern in this situation, so if you don't have an alarm system in your house to help __46__ your child inside, you may want to use an individual door alarm.Place a gate in the doorway to your child's __47__.This will keep the sleepwalker in the room, or he may make enough __48__ trying to move the gate that you'll catch your child in the act.Make sure you have safety locks on all doors and windows __49__ outside.So your child can't leave the house while sleepwalking.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Listen to them.Sad people aren't always really looking for an answer; they just want to be heard and have a chance __62__ (express) their feelings.So pull up __63__ chair, offer a smile, and give them a shoulder to cry on.

Change their environment.More often than not, our moods __69__ (determine) by our surroundings.If you hope to get someone out of their __70__ (sad), get them out of their stressful environment.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。每个人都有情绪低落的时候。如何让他(她)重新振作起来呢？本文就此提出了几条建议。
61．are “Here are some easy steps to help you”是完全倒装句，主语是后面的some easy steps，谓语动词要用复数形式。
62．to express chance后跟动词不定式作定语，表示“做某事的机会”。
63．a 这里泛指一把椅子，故用不定冠词。
64．for ask for是动词短语，意思是“要求得到”，符合语境。
65．better 由句中“than you have”可知，这里应该填good的比较级。
66．when “when someone gave you a gift to cheer you up”是定语从句，修饰先行词a time，关系副词when在从句中作时间状语。
67．Giving “giving a gift to someone”是动名词短语作主语。
68．stories 空白处所填单词在句中与jokes并列作主语，又根据谓语动词are可知，需用story的复数形式。
69．are determined 主语our moods是谓语动词动作determine的承受者，需用被动语态；这里讲述的是一般性道理，故用一般现在时。
70．sadness 空白处所填单词在句中作out of的宾语，需用sad的名词形式。

Share housework
It is reported that many students are unwilling to do housework at home, saying that they're too busy studying.
参考范文：
Share housework
It is reported that many students are unwilling to do housework at home, saying that they're too busy studying.However, in my opinion, we students should take some time to help with the housework.Here are the reasons.
Doing housework is not only parents' job, but also ours.If we leave all the housework to our parents, it will make them very tired, because they have to work hard every day.Furthermore, it's not enough for us to just get good grades at school. Being independent is also important.In fact, the earlier we learn to be independent, the better our future will be.Doing housework can help us to learn to look after ourselves and therefore be independent.
So why not share housework at home
