If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
1.What can people do at the apple events
A.Attend experts' lectures. B.Visit fruit-loving families.
C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples.
2.What can we learn about Decio
A.It is a new variety. B.It has a strange look.
C.It is rarely seen now. D.It has a special taste.
3.What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To show how to grow apples. B.To introduce an apple festival.
C.To help people select apples. D.To promote apple research.

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzheimer's—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.
He didn't. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn't have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he'd take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandmother. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandmother died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
My grandfather used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandmother was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can't take away his pain. I can't help him remember. I can't make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us .
1.When the author first saw her grandpa in hospital, ________.
A.she gave up on him B.they were both excited
C.he didn't recognize her D.they talked about the past
2.Why was the author close to tears
A.Her grandmother died about four years ago.
B.Her grandfather needed to be taken care of.

3.Which of the following best describes the author
A.Tolerant and merciful. B.Considerate and patient.
C.Warm-hearted and grateful. D.Strong-minded and generous.
4.Why did the author write this passage
A.To show pity towards her grandfather. B.To record memories of her grandfather.
C.To express deep love for her grandfather. D.To call on further study on Alzheimer's.
D
Visitors still stop at the old house in Scituate, Massachusetts. But the house is not what brings them there. What they want to see is the old stone well beside it and the iron-bound water bucket that's put on its edge.
Two hundred years ago, this farmhouse was the home of Samuel Woodworth. During the long summers of his childhood, young Samuel would often pause at the well. It was a welcome break, especially on a hot afternoon. On such a day he would eagerly draw a bucketful of cold water and satisfy his thirst with a refreshing drink.
When he was fourteen, Woodworth left Scituate for New York City, where he started his own newspaper. Later he worked as an editor at other newspapers and magazines while writing novels, plays, and poetry in his spare time. His life was busy, and he rarely had time to visit the family farm.
But Woodworth never stopped thinking of his Scituate home. After work one evening, Woodworth poured himself a glass of city water. It wasn't very refreshing. Casually he remarked to his wife, Lydia, how wonderful it would be to have a long, cool drink from the oaken bucket at his father's well. Lydia had a suggestion: Why not put it to poetry
It was a suggestion Woodworth could not resist. That night he wrote "The Bucket". In it he captured the world of his childhood on a hot summer day and the simple joy of stopping for a drink at his father's well.
His poem was an instant success. It seemed to touch everyone who had ever been homesick. At the height of its popularity, The Old Oaken Bucket (as it came to be called) was translated into four languages, and the words were set to a popular tune of the time. Over the years, countless people have read or sung Woodworth's ode to his boyhood. Today it is the official song of Scituate, Massachusetts.
In his time, Samuel Woodworth was a successful writer. Now his poems and plays are all but forgotten. He would be, too—if it hadn't been for a glass of warm water, some good advice from his wife, and his love of those long-ago days on the farm.
1. What experience most likely helped Woodworth write "The Bucket"
A. Living in Scituate. B. Growing up on a farm.
C. Working in New York. D. Working for a newspaper.
2. What was Woodworth's purpose for writing the poem
A. To share an opinion. B. To complain about the water in the city.
C. To explain the newspaper business. D. To express an emotion.
3. Why does the author use flashback(倒叙) in the second paragraph
A. It helps readers to become a poet.
B. It helps readers to appreciate city life.
C. It helps readers to learn about the life of the poet.
D. It helps readers to understand how hard Samuel's life was.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the selection
A. The Old Oaken Bucket B. Living in New York
C. Growing up on the Farm D. Good Suggestions from Wife

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。
I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. ①_____. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. ②_____, they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I'm so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English, so this one doesn't really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. ③_____.
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. ④_____. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied, it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
⑤_____. The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That's really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they're translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marina was extremely afraid of the dark. When the lights went out, everything and every shadow appeared to her as the most terrible monsters. Her parents explained to her every day with great patience that these things were not monsters. Marina understood her parents, but she could not stop feeling an awful fear whenever it was dark.
One day her aunt Valerie came to visit. Valerie was an incredible woman. She was famous for her courage, and had been to many journeys of adventure, some of which had been made into books and movies. Marina wanted to conquer her fear of the dark, so she asked her aunt how she became so brave, and whether she had ever been frightened.
"A great many times, Marina," answered her aunt, "I remember when I was small and I was terribly afraid of the dark. I couldn't stay in the dark for even a moment."
Marina became very excited. How was it possible that someone so courageous could have been afraid of the dark
"I'll tell you a secret, Marina. It was some blind children who taught me how to be brave. They can't see, so if they had never discovered the secret of how not to be afraid of the dark, they would have been forever frightened."
"It's true!" said Marina, intrigued. "Can you tell me that secret "
"Of course! The secret is to change your eyes. Since blind children can't see, their hands are their eyes. All what you have to do to conquer your fear is what they do. Close the eyes of your face and open the eyes of your hands. Let's make a deal: tonight, when you go to bed and put out the light, if anything makes you afraid, close your eyes, carefully get out of bed, and try to see what it is that's making you scared. But do it using your hands as eyes...and tomorrow tell me how you're getting on with the fear.''
Marina accepted y but she was rather worried. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When her parents took her to bed, she herself put out the light. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 CBD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据Our Courses部分中的"Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing the fastest possible language learning (see the table below)."可知, 强化课程和标准课程的区别在于强化课程还包括一些额外的课程。
2.细节理解题。根据Arrival and Transfer部分第一句中的"students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end"可知, 这个项目推出了full package, 组织者会从项目开始一直到结束全程照顾学生。
3.细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句话"Depending on the type of allergies and/or dietary requirements, an extra charge may be made for providing special food."可知, 特殊饮食有可能会额外收费。
B
答案：1-4 DCBB
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段的首句"Visiting an apple event...often taste, a wide variety of apples."可知应选D。
2.推理判断题。A选项与第二段中的"it can be...still in existence"不一致, 且由这句话可知, Decio现在比较罕见, 故C项正确; 文中并未提及Decio的外形奇异, 故B选项错误; D选项"It has a special taste."与第二段的最后一句"Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try...anything else."的表述相反。
3.词义猜测题。根据第三段的内容可知, Orleans Reinette虽然口感好, 但对种植环境和土壤要求高, 因此对于大多数喜欢它的人来说, 大饱口福只是一种脱离实际的愿望, 这与B项"A vain hope"相一致。
4.目的意图题。通读全文可知, 这是一篇介绍英国苹果节的文章。故选B项。
C
答案：1-4.CDBC
解析：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的爷爷患有阿尔兹海默症,不记得她是谁了。通过在医院陪伴爷爷,作者意识到她无法消除爷爷的痛苦,她所能做的就是留住他们的回忆。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的"I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me."可知,作者的爷爷认不出她了。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的"This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandmother died four years ago and he didn't remember."可知,作者努力忍住眼泪的原因是爷爷不记得奶奶已经过世了,认为奶奶还活着。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"I told him that my grandmother was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water."可知,作者为了不让爷爷伤心,没有告诉奶奶已经去世了,而且确保爷爷的杯子里面总是有水,说明作者是一个体贴的人。根据本段中"So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes."可知,作者不厌其烦地跟爷爷交谈,一遍一遍地告诉爷爷长得多好看,喜欢爷爷身上衬衫的颜色等等,说明作者是一个有耐心的人。结合选项,故选B。
4.推理判断题。文章主要讲述了作者的爷爷患有阿尔兹海默症,不记得她是谁了。通过在医院陪伴爷爷,作者意识到她无法消除爷爷的痛苦,不能使疾病消失,所能做的就是留住他们的回忆。文章表明了作者对爷爷深深的爱。
D
答案：1-4 BDCA
解析：1.推理判断题。文章的第二段用倒叙的手法，介绍了伍德沃思的童年生活。也正是那时的农场生活，给他带来了美好的回忆，才导致了他后来成功创作了这首诗。
2.推理判断题。从文章的第三、四段不难看出，他写这首诗的目的是表达他对童年时代农场生活以及家乡的思念之情。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“During the long summers of his childhood…draw a bucketful of cold water…”可知，作者这样做是为了让读者了解诗人的生活。
4.主旨大意题。文章从第一段就开始讲述游客来此的目的就是读过他写的诗，来看一看当年Samuel生活过的农场上井边的那只橡木桶。后来又通过这只桶时常想起那甘甜的井水，后来由此写出了那首著名的诗，所以A项可作为本文的标题。
第二节
答案：GFDAC
解析：①根据空后一句"For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing."可知, 通常, 博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写; 据此可推知, "我"发现博客是学习语言的好工具, 因为它们常常是用口语写作的, 故G项正确。
②根据该句中的"they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language"并结合常识可推知, 电影中的字幕虽然有时和所说的话不是很一致, 但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看, 故F项与此处匹配。
③根据空处前两句"A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours."可知, 许多语言学习电脑程序中包括游戏, 而 "我"是一心求胜, 如果"我"玩任何一个, "我"都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知, 如果"我"在学习这门语言, 花费的时间是值得的, 故D项符合语境。
④根据空处前两句"The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian."可知, 对"我"来说, 最难的部分是当"我"足够自信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时"我"实际上被困于这种状态了; 据此可推知, 那让"我"感到很不舒服, 故A项正确。
⑤根据空处所在的位置可知, 空处为该段的主题句; 根据该段中的"It got to the point where...with the limited Russian I had."可知, "我"回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受; 据此可推知, 该段主要介绍"我"也使用"我"正在学的语言来进行思考, 故C项正确。

第二节
答案：
Marina accepted, but she was rather worried. She knew she had to be brave. After all, she was already old enough to conquer her fear. Determined to behave as her aunt told, she was willing to close her eyes and go to touch whatever it was that was frightening her. "Is it a little ridiculous to use the hands as eyes " She thought.
When her parents took her to bed, she herself put out the light. After a short while, she felt afraid of one of the shadows in the bedroom. Oh! That terrible monster came. Marina was trembling, trying to cover herself with the quilt, but her heart still beat quickly, as if it would jump out of her chest. It seemed that the monster was approaching her. Suddenly Marina thought of her aunt's advice, so she closed the eyes of her face and opened the eyes of her hands. And summoning up all her courage, she went over to touch that mysterious shadow...It's her teddy bear! She smiled.

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
1.What can people do at the apple events
A.Attend experts' lectures. B.Visit fruit-loving families.
C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples.
2.What can we learn about Decio
A.It is a new variety. B.It has a strange look.
C.It is rarely seen now. D.It has a special taste.
3.What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To show how to grow apples. B.To introduce an apple festival.
C.To help people select apples. D.To promote apple research.

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzheimer's—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.
He didn't. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn't have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he'd take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandmother. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandmother died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
My grandfather used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandmother was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can't take away his pain. I can't help him remember. I can't make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us .

Visitors still stop at the old house in Scituate, Massachusetts. But the house is not what brings them there. What they want to see is the old stone well beside it and the iron-bound water bucket that's put on its edge.
Two hundred years ago, this farmhouse was the home of Samuel Woodworth. During the long summers of his childhood, young Samuel would often pause at the well. It was a welcome break, especially on a hot afternoon. On such a day he would eagerly draw a bucketful of cold water and satisfy his thirst with a refreshing drink.
When he was fourteen, Woodworth left Scituate for New York City, where he started his own newspaper. Later he worked as an editor at other newspapers and magazines while writing novels, plays, and poetry in his spare time. His life was busy, and he rarely had time to visit the family farm.
But Woodworth never stopped thinking of his Scituate home. After work one evening, Woodworth poured himself a glass of city water. It wasn't very refreshing. Casually he remarked to his wife, Lydia, how wonderful it would be to have a long, cool drink from the oaken bucket at his father's well. Lydia had a suggestion: Why not put it to poetry
It was a suggestion Woodworth could not resist. That night he wrote "The Bucket". In it he captured the world of his childhood on a hot summer day and the simple joy of stopping for a drink at his father's well.
His poem was an instant success. It seemed to touch everyone who had ever been homesick. At the height of its popularity, The Old Oaken Bucket (as it came to be called) was translated into four languages, and the words were set to a popular tune of the time. Over the years, countless people have read or sung Woodworth's ode to his boyhood. Today it is the official song of Scituate, Massachusetts.
In his time, Samuel Woodworth was a successful writer. Now his poems and plays are all but forgotten. He would be, too—if it hadn't been for a glass of warm water, some good advice from his wife, and his love of those long-ago days on the farm.
1. What experience most likely helped Woodworth write "The Bucket"
A. Living in Scituate. B. Growing up on a farm.
C. Working in New York. D. Working for a newspaper.
2. What was Woodworth's purpose for writing the poem
A. To share an opinion. B. To complain about the water in the city.
C. To explain the newspaper business. D. To express an emotion.
3. Why does the author use flashback(倒叙) in the second paragraph
A. It helps readers to become a poet.
B. It helps readers to appreciate city life.
C. It helps readers to learn about the life of the poet.
D. It helps readers to understand how hard Samuel's life was.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the selection
A. The Old Oaken Bucket B. Living in New York
C. Growing up on the Farm D. Good Suggestions from Wife

I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. ①_____. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. ②_____, they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I'm so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English, so this one doesn't really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. ③_____.
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. ④_____. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied, it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
⑤_____. The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That's really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they're translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marina was extremely afraid of the dark. When the lights went out, everything and every shadow appeared to her as the most terrible monsters. Her parents explained to her every day with great patience that these things were not monsters. Marina understood her parents, but she could not stop feeling an awful fear whenever it was dark.
One day her aunt Valerie came to visit. Valerie was an incredible woman. She was famous for her courage, and had been to many journeys of adventure, some of which had been made into books and movies. Marina wanted to conquer her fear of the dark, so she asked her aunt how she became so brave, and whether she had ever been frightened.
"A great many times, Marina," answered her aunt, "I remember when I was small and I was terribly afraid of the dark. I couldn't stay in the dark for even a moment."
Marina became very excited. How was it possible that someone so courageous could have been afraid of the dark
"I'll tell you a secret, Marina. It was some blind children who taught me how to be brave. They can't see, so if they had never discovered the secret of how not to be afraid of the dark, they would have been forever frightened."
"It's true!" said Marina, intrigued. "Can you tell me that secret "
"Of course! The secret is to change your eyes. Since blind children can't see, their hands are their eyes. All what you have to do to conquer your fear is what they do. Close the eyes of your face and open the eyes of your hands. Let's make a deal: tonight, when you go to bed and put out the light, if anything makes you afraid, close your eyes, carefully get out of bed, and try to see what it is that's making you scared. But do it using your hands as eyes...and tomorrow tell me how you're getting on with the fear.''
Marina accepted y but she was rather worried. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When her parents took her to bed, she herself put out the light. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 CBD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据Our Courses部分中的"Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing the fastest possible language learning (see the table below)."可知, 强化课程和标准课程的区别在于强化课程还包括一些额外的课程。
2.细节理解题。根据Arrival and Transfer部分第一句中的"students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end"可知, 这个项目推出了full package, 组织者会从项目开始一直到结束全程照顾学生。
3.细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句话"Depending on the type of allergies and/or dietary requirements, an extra charge may be made for providing special food."可知, 特殊饮食有可能会额外收费。
B
答案：1-4 DCBB
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段的首句"Visiting an apple event...often taste, a wide variety of apples."可知应选D。
2.推理判断题。A选项与第二段中的"it can be...still in existence"不一致, 且由这句话可知, Decio现在比较罕见, 故C项正确; 文中并未提及Decio的外形奇异, 故B选项错误; D选项"It has a special taste."与第二段的最后一句"Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try...anything else."的表述相反。
3.词义猜测题。根据第三段的内容可知, Orleans Reinette虽然口感好, 但对种植环境和土壤要求高, 因此对于大多数喜欢它的人来说, 大饱口福只是一种脱离实际的愿望, 这与B项"A vain hope"相一致。
4.目的意图题。通读全文可知, 这是一篇介绍英国苹果节的文章。故选B项。
C
答案：1-4.CDBC
解析：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的爷爷患有阿尔兹海默症,不记得她是谁了。通过在医院陪伴爷爷,作者意识到她无法消除爷爷的痛苦,她所能做的就是留住他们的回忆。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的"I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me."可知,作者的爷爷认不出她了。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的"This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandmother died four years ago and he didn't remember."可知,作者努力忍住眼泪的原因是爷爷不记得奶奶已经过世了,认为奶奶还活着。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"I told him that my grandmother was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water."可知,作者为了不让爷爷伤心,没有告诉奶奶已经去世了,而且确保爷爷的杯子里面总是有水,说明作者是一个体贴的人。根据本段中"So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes."可知,作者不厌其烦地跟爷爷交谈,一遍一遍地告诉爷爷长得多好看,喜欢爷爷身上衬衫的颜色等等,说明作者是一个有耐心的人。结合选项,故选B。
4.推理判断题。文章主要讲述了作者的爷爷患有阿尔兹海默症,不记得她是谁了。通过在医院陪伴爷爷,作者意识到她无法消除爷爷的痛苦,不能使疾病消失,所能做的就是留住他们的回忆。文章表明了作者对爷爷深深的爱。
D
答案：1-4 BDCA
解析：1.推理判断题。文章的第二段用倒叙的手法，介绍了伍德沃思的童年生活。也正是那时的农场生活，给他带来了美好的回忆，才导致了他后来成功创作了这首诗。
2.推理判断题。从文章的第三、四段不难看出，他写这首诗的目的是表达他对童年时代农场生活以及家乡的思念之情。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“During the long summers of his childhood…draw a bucketful of cold water…”可知，作者这样做是为了让读者了解诗人的生活。
4.主旨大意题。文章从第一段就开始讲述游客来此的目的就是读过他写的诗，来看一看当年Samuel生活过的农场上井边的那只橡木桶。后来又通过这只桶时常想起那甘甜的井水，后来由此写出了那首著名的诗，所以A项可作为本文的标题。
第二节
答案：GFDAC
解析：①根据空后一句"For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing."可知, 通常, 博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写; 据此可推知, "我"发现博客是学习语言的好工具, 因为它们常常是用口语写作的, 故G项正确。
②根据该句中的"they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language"并结合常识可推知, 电影中的字幕虽然有时和所说的话不是很一致, 但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看, 故F项与此处匹配。
③根据空处前两句"A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours."可知, 许多语言学习电脑程序中包括游戏, 而 "我"是一心求胜, 如果"我"玩任何一个, "我"都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知, 如果"我"在学习这门语言, 花费的时间是值得的, 故D项符合语境。
④根据空处前两句"The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian."可知, 对"我"来说, 最难的部分是当"我"足够自信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时"我"实际上被困于这种状态了; 据此可推知, 那让"我"感到很不舒服, 故A项正确。
⑤根据空处所在的位置可知, 空处为该段的主题句; 根据该段中的"It got to the point where...with the limited Russian I had."可知, "我"回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受; 据此可推知, 该段主要介绍"我"也使用"我"正在学的语言来进行思考, 故C项正确。

第二节
答案：
Marina accepted, but she was rather worried. She knew she had to be brave. After all, she was already old enough to conquer her fear. Determined to behave as her aunt told, she was willing to close her eyes and go to touch whatever it was that was frightening her. "Is it a little ridiculous to use the hands as eyes " She thought.
When her parents took her to bed, she herself put out the light. After a short while, she felt afraid of one of the shadows in the bedroom. Oh! That terrible monster came. Marina was trembling, trying to cover herself with the quilt, but her heart still beat quickly, as if it would jump out of her chest. It seemed that the monster was approaching her. Suddenly Marina thought of her aunt's advice, so she closed the eyes of her face and opened the eyes of her hands. And summoning up all her courage, she went over to touch that mysterious shadow...It's her teddy bear! She smiled.
