If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strongwind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confudus on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerner sphilosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
24.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius B.show great respect for the ancient thinker
C.attract the readers’ interest in the subject D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
25.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ______.
A.fight for a chance to learn Chinese B.take an active part in Chinese competitions
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams D.have a great interest in studying Chinese
26.What is the best title for the passage
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America B.Old Thinker with a Big Future
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners D.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
27.The passage is likely to appear in ______.
A.a philosophy textbook B.a history paper C.a newspaper D.a biography
C
My love for animals began through watching wildlife documentaries when I was a kid. I went on to study Environmental Science at university, and became interested in marine (海洋的) biology when I did my master’s degree. That’s when I realised that there was a possibility to do more for Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, many people would associate marine life only with seafood, and few people would consider it as a part of nature to be appreciated. Although our marine life is highly diverse, our waters have been overfished for more than 40 years. Records show that, decades ago, Hong Kong had such high production of seafood that it supported about 90% of the local demand. Today, at least 90% of the seafood we eat has to be imported to meet local demand, as our waters are so overfished that they can no longer support the local appetite.
Despite this shift, we are still a city in love with seafood — according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Hong Kong has the second highest annual seafood consumption per capita (人均) in Asia — but consumers are barely aware of where their seafood comes from and which species are threatened.
There is a lot of room for improvement in Hong Kong. Improving local fishery management policies and increasing the coverage of Marine Protected Areas, as well as conducting the relevant research to inform decisions, could move the city towards greater sustainability in this area. And consumers should avoid eating seafood that is on the threatened species list. As a general rule of thumb, if people are not sure what the species is, they should choose something else that they are more familiar with.
With the marine ecosystem already weak and easily destroyed, the greatest threat is continued ignorance and inaction. It is time for us to show that we can also be a part of the solution. If each person plays their part — even for just one meal a day — Hong Kong would already be on its way to making considerable progress towards sustainable seafood consumption.
28.How does the author introduce overfishing in Paragraph 2
A.By listing reasons. B.By offering examples. C.By giving exact figures. D.By making comparisons.
29.What is true about HK people according to the passage
A.They all see marine life as a part of nature. B.They consume 90% of the seafood in Asia.
C.They have a rather big appetite for seafood. D.They are aware of the source of the seafood.
30.What does the author suggest people do when eating seafood
A.Keep off unfamiliar species. B.Ignore dangerous species.
C.Choose endangered species. D.Avoid non-threatened species.
31.What is the author’s purpose of writing this article
A.To protect the marine ecosystem. B.To stop consuming seafood.
C.To improve local fishery management policies. D.To criticize the overfishing situation in Hong Kong.
第二节:阅读七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
I was recently in a business meeting, where two managers faced off (直接对抗) with their wildly different opinions. But to our surprise, the meeting went remarkably well — and all because one of them simply showed a calin maturity (成熟). He kept saying things like, “I absolutely see your point, Jeff,” and “You’re right about that. Could we consider... ” 32 And things went smoothly. So what are more ways to bring more cool, collected calm into our life Here are some.
◆ Focus on your own stuff.
It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our paychecks (薪水), the contents of our closets, relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you, you can’t help but just do you. 33
◆ Know how to laugh at yourself.
Joan Rivers said, “Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny.” 34 And once you get to the point where you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at pretty much anything.
◆ 35
I don’t think there is anything more grown-up than taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses or exceptions-parental, governmental or otherwise. When you own your circumstances and your “stuff” you’re empowered.
36 We can quantify our calm by our ability to “shake it off”. You really can choose to free yourself from anything: a rude remark, a disrespect from someone you’ve never liked, a passive-aggressive colleague... whatever. When you can shake all that off and just focus on the present moment, you kind of have it figured out.
A.Don’t blame others. B.Never react. C.And when that happens, life gets awesome. D.Life doesn’t have to be so serious, does it E.Will guilt and regret have you living in the past F.Maturity begins when drama and dissatisfaction end. G.He met his colleague’s argument with absolute calm.

A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother—loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout (放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids ” “What ! Oh, Gosh... I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections (反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

第二节 读后续写(满分20分)
【文章大意】
本文主要讲述了一个健忘但富有爱心且友好的妈妈的故事。文章第一段总述了作者的妈妈是一个健忘但富有爱心、友好的人,她的这些性格特点在作者一家的一次出游中表现得淋漓尽致。第二段叙述作者一家准备开车去看望祖父母并欣赏沿路风景,作者和自己的兄弟David向伙伴们告别,但一家人在出发两小时后又返回来拿东西,这是妈妈健忘的表现之一。第三段叙述了妈妈健忘的表现之二:当爸爸睡着,由妈妈驾车的时候,作者和David怕妈妈把他们落下,因此去加油站的卫生间时必须要留一个人放哨才行。第四段叙述了在作者一家出行几天后的某个晚上,由于找不到有空房间的酒店妈妈提出找一个陌生人的后院搭建帐篷暂住一晚的提议,但被作者他们否定了。这体现了妈妈友善、可爱的性格特点。
【写作指导】
本篇续写信息点众多,给考生提供了广阔的发挥空间,考生可从多个角度展开。比如续写第一段提出作者他们记起了帐篷,下文就可以围绕帐篷展开话题。当然也可以按照妈妈健忘以及友好的性格特点,预测可能会发生的一些有趣的事。在出游中他们也可能还会产生一些问题,下文就可以叙述如何解决这些问题。因为续写第二段首句表明他们顺利经过了几个州,而且沿途欣赏到美丽的景色,那么下文就可以叙述在欣赏美丽的景色过程中,在他们家人之间发生的美好而有趣的事。这里就需要考生发挥足够的想象力。文章第一句“I had an interesting childhood”和最后一段相呼应,故无论如何发挥,文章最终体现的主题应该是亲情和爱。
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we brought with us. We were happy to see it still packed, and hoped it would be packed forever. However, the thing came to its turning point. Mom lost Dad in the gas station when we were sleeping. What’s worse, as the dark was approaching, we met the same trouble again. Fearful as Mom was, she decided to camp near the road waiting for Dad. The wind blew wildly like a monster. Tears took control of us. Mom embraced us tightly singing a soft song, which really made us relaxed. We didn’t meet Dad in the next few days, but we felt comfortable staying with Mom.
Paragraph 2:
We drove through several states and saw lots of sights along the way. The tent became a closer friend then. Every time we camped, Mom would read a book or sing a soft song. The warmth of her arms never faded away in my memory. Though she was forgetful, laughter accompanied us along the way. We finally met poor Dad at our destination. This trip made me realize that love can always light the way for people in the dark.

W: Hey, Peter, I’m sorry!
M: Hi, Diana, what’s wrong
W: We were going to Hong Kong this weekend but I’m afraid I can’t go.
M: How come
W: I have a really big geography test and I have to study for it.
M: We can go next week instead.

M: You look tired now, Joanna.
W: I know. I got up at 4 am to make breakfast for my mother.
M: You are a great daughter.
W: Not really. It is my mother who is wonderful. She gave me life and brought me up very well.
M: So you try to repay her on Mother’s Day.
W: Right. But she has given me so much that it will take hundreds of years to repay her.
M: Maybe we should have Mother’s Day every day instead of just once a year.
W: It’s a good idea, Jeff. But I can’t get up so early to make breakfast for her every day.
M: We should tell our moms how much we love them more often.
W: I agree! I will tell my husband your great idea.

M: Good evening, everybody. Today we are going to talk about saving money. Many of us have to save money, but different people save money in different ways. Now we are going to talk to Kathy to see what she does. Hi, Kathy, do you try to save money
W: Sure. I’m a housewife, so I have to save money as much as possible.
M: And how do you save Can you tell us something about it
W: Well, I try not to shop in department stores or supermarkets except when things are on sale. I never pay full price. I really like shopping in outdoor markets, and I can usually find some real bargains there.
M: Great! That’s a good idea.
W: And also my husband and I don’t own a car. If we need one for a weekend, we just rent one. We can’t really afford to buy a used one.
M: I see.
W: And the best way to save money is not to pay people to fix things for you.
M: Sorry, I can’t understand that. What do you mean, Kathy
W: Well, my husband often tries to repair things around the house. We can save a lot of money that way.
M: Well, thank you very much, Kathy.
