Last night at work, a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant.
After eating for a few minutes, she asked me for a napkin (餐巾) and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but didn’t think anything of it. When I turned around, she was gone. As I went to clear her plate, I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along with a note that read, “Today marks my 14th day of chemo (化疗) along with my 26th birthday. Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!”
I have never been so touched by a stranger in my entire life. About 3 months ago, my own mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, so this hit very close to home. Having just witnessed my mother completed her first 5-week cycle of chemo, I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a stranger a gift.
This young woman has completely touched my soul and has affected my life in a way that I will never forget. I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person and I pray that you get well.
Thank you for making the world a better place.

B. To tell her what effect she has on the author.
C. To tell her she is very beautiful.
D. To wish her good luck in getting well.

Technology is everywhere. Almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time. It’s true to say that technology makes our lives easier. However, scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break-otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems. With all this free time, why not put it to good use and do something without technology
To start with, you could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: crafts(工艺), cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to cook for your family, but haven’t had time Perhaps you feel like learning how to knit(编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn You could use your free time to learn something new—and perhaps it will lead to an exciting chance in the future.
If you just want to relax, why not go to a beach Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you don’t live near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why not take along a picnic, or try and discover some of the local wildlife
Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a crossword or a Sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even follow the latest fashion: adult coloring books! Coloring is amazing, and it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!
Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new! You might surprise yourself and find a hidden talent within you; you might make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly switching channels, have a think at what else you could spend your time doing.
28. According to scientists, using technology continuously may ________.
A. make people live longer B. solve many social problems
C. provide people with more free time D. have a bad effect on people’s health
29. What is suggested in the second paragraph
A Learning something new. B. Taking exciting chances.
C. Making a living by knitting. D. Getting together with the family.
30. What can we learn about the Sudoku
A. It’s a great tourist attraction. B. It’s a challenging game.
C. It’s a new fashion show. D. It’s a book about coloring.
31 Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Make More New Friends B. Follow the Latest Fashion
C. Make Plans for Summer Holidays D. Take a Break from Technology
D
The tradition of giving gifts didn’t start with the modern holidays we celebrate. Many ancient cultures celebrated holidays with the exchange of gifts. People who love to give gifts often can’t wait until it’s time for the recipients to open their gifts. If you’ve ever been given a gift, you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.
The wish to hide the identity of a gift until just the right moment led people to wrap gifts long, long ago. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.
Wrapping paper like what we use today, though, is a much more recent invention. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn’t come along until the early 1900s. The first American gift wrap company— Hy-Sill Manufacturing Inc. — was founded by Eli Hyman and Morris Silverman in 1903. It wasn’t as easy to wrap presents back then as it is today, though, because adhesive tape (胶带) wasn’t invented until 1930.
Over the years, wrapping paper has developed into what we see in stores each holiday season. But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. To cut down on this waste, some people carefully unwrap presents, so that the wrapping paper can be reused. Others have started to use reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper.
32. What is the interesting part of people giving a gift
A. Hiding their gifts and their feelings.
B. Giving the recipients a surprise.
C. Letting the recipients open gifts at once.
D. Following a century-old tradition.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. People didn’t know wrapping paper until 1903.
B. Heavy brown paper has been used to wrap gifts for 100 years.
C. Technology made wrapping paper widely available.
D. Adhesive tape was first created by gift wrap companies.
34. What do scientists worry about
A. The future of reusable gift bags.
B. The waste produced by Americans.
C. Wrapping paper’s influence on the environment.
D. People’s admiration for wrapping paper.
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. The popularity of wrapping gifts.
B. The start of wrapping gifts in paper.
C. The problems caused by wrapping paper.
D. The story behind wrapping paper.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn't know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, "Don't worry, Grandma. Nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck." And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
"I'm sorry. Do I know you？" Eliza asked.
"I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend," the old woman replied. "She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours."

【原文】Listen carefully, everyone. There will be a school trip to Hilltop Castle tomorrow. It’s a really interesting place, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy going there. We’re getting group tickets, so instead of the usual price of $6, you only have to pay $3 to visit the castle. And the bus is free. Now, don’t forget that we’re going on March 4th. Mrs. Philips, the school secretary, is away this week, so take your money to Mr. Gifford. He works in the office, too. I’m afraid you’ll have to get up early that day because you have to be at school at 7:30 a.m. The bus is leaving at 7:45 a. m. and I want you all to be at school 15 minutes before that. At the castle, I’ll give you a piece of paper with questions on it and a pen to fill it out with. You should try to answer all the questions on it. And one last thing; the castle doesn’t have a café or a restaurant, so you’ll probably get hungry. Don’t forget to bring a lunch!

Last night at work, a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant.
After eating for a few minutes, she asked me for a napkin (餐巾) and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but didn’t think anything of it. When I turned around, she was gone. As I went to clear her plate, I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along with a note that read, “Today marks my 14th day of chemo (化疗) along with my 26th birthday. Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!”
I have never been so touched by a stranger in my entire life. About 3 months ago, my own mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, so this hit very close to home. Having just witnessed my mother completed her first 5-week cycle of chemo, I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a stranger a gift.
This young woman has completely touched my soul and has affected my life in a way that I will never forget. I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person and I pray that you get well.
Thank you for making the world a better place.

细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant. (她要了一杯水和一份菜单，最后点了一个培根芝士汉堡，在我的餐厅大概要12美元。)”以及根据第二段第四、五、六句“As I went to clear her plate, I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along with a note that read, “Today marks my 14th day of chemo (化疗) along with my 26th birthday.

Technology is everywhere. Almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time. It’s true to say that technology makes our lives easier.

Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a crossword or a Sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even follow the latest fashion: adult coloring books! Coloring is amazing, and it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!
Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new! You might surprise yourself and find a hidden talent within you; you might make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly switching channels, have a think at what else you could spend your time doing.

The tradition of giving gifts didn’t start with the modern holidays we celebrate. Many ancient cultures celebrated holidays with the exchange of gifts. People who love to give gifts often can’t wait until it’s time for the recipients to open their gifts. If you’ve ever been given a gift, you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.
The wish to hide the identity of a gift until just the right moment led people to wrap gifts long, long ago. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.
Wrapping paper like what we use today, though, is a much more recent invention. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn’t come along until the early 1900s. The first American gift wrap company— Hy-Sill Manufacturing Inc. — was founded by Eli Hyman and Morris Silverman in 1903. It wasn’t as easy to wrap presents back then as it is today, though, because adhesive tape (胶带) wasn’t invented until 1930.
Over the years, wrapping paper has developed into what we see in stores each holiday season. But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. To cut down on this waste, some people carefully unwrap presents, so that the wrapping paper can be reused. Others have started to use reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper.
32. What is the interesting part of people giving a gift
A. Hiding their gifts and their feelings.
B. Giving the recipients a surprise.
C. Letting the recipients open gifts at once.
D. Following a century-old tradition.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. People didn’t know wrapping paper until 1903.
B. Heavy brown paper has been used to wrap gifts for 100 years.
C. Technology made wrapping paper widely available.
D. Adhesive tape was first created by gift wrap companies.
34. What do scientists worry about
A. The future of reusable gift bags.
B. The waste produced by Americans.
C. Wrapping paper’s influence on the environment.
D. People’s admiration for wrapping paper.
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. The popularity of wrapping gifts.
B. The start of wrapping gifts in paper.
C. The problems caused by wrapping paper.
D. The story behind wrapping paper.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者从节日期间每人都会送礼物引入话题，介绍了包装纸的由来和发展以及带来的环境污染等背后的故事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“If you’ve ever been given a gift, you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is. (如果你曾经收到过一份礼物，你就会知道其中的一部分乐趣是当你想知道礼物是什么时产生的好奇心。)”可知，当人们收到礼物时，其中的一部分乐趣就是好奇心带来的惊喜，所以人们送礼物的有趣之处在于引起他的好奇心，给他一个惊喜。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn’t come along until the early 1900s. (大规模生产包装纸的技术直到20世纪初才出现。)”可知，大规模的生产包装纸技术使得包装纸被广泛使用。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. (但科学家表示，仅美国在节日期间就会多产生500万吨垃圾，其中大部分来自包装纸和购物袋。)”可知，科学家担心包装纸会带给环境压力。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago. (历史学家认为，用纸包装礼物可能是在几千年前纸被发明后不久开始的。)”可知，讲述了包装纸的由来和发展。再结合最后一段第二句“But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. (但科学家表示，仅美国在节日期间就会多产生500万吨垃圾，其中大部分来自包装纸和购物袋。)”可知，包装纸会带来很多垃圾。所以，本文主要介绍了包装纸的由来和发展以及带来的环境污染等背后的故事。故选D。

【40题详解】
根据小标题“Stop buying items that contain animal products (停止购买含有动物产品的商品)”可知，F选项“Everyone should avoid anything that includes leather, silk or fur. (每个人都应该避免任何包括皮革、丝绸或毛皮的东西。)”照应标题，标题中“含有动物产品的商品”照应了F项中的“包括皮革、丝绸或毛皮的东西”，为上义词和下义词的关系。故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn't know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, "Don't worry, Grandma. Nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck." And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
"I'm sorry. Do I know you？" Eliza asked.
"I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend," the old woman replied. "She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours." Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother's childhood friend
注意：
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。
Paragraph 1:
Then the old woman introduced herself, "My name is
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The old woman agreed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Then the old woman introduced herself "My name is Betty. I'm originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since." Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother's best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother's best friend, she said, "Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody."
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after a quick dinner. On the way, Betty felt her heart was thumping with excitement. She couldn't wait to see her long-lost friend. Arriving at Scout's home, Betty eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Scout和Betty从小是好朋友，但是因为战争原因，Scout必须举家搬去美国，因此他们请求父母给他们买一对围巾作为友谊的象征，自此以后他们不再见面，但是依然保存着围巾，直到一天Scout的孙女带着她的围巾在餐馆的时候，遇到了Betty.
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后老太太自我介绍说:“我的名字叫......。”可知，第一段这个老夫人作了自我介绍。所以应该写：Betty讲述自己为什么也来到了美国，以及Eliza告诉她要带她去见一个人。
②由第二段首句内容“这个老太太同意了。”可知，第二段可描写Betty跟着Eliza去了她的家，见到了童年时的朋友，两人非常激动，不敢相信。
2.续写线索：介绍——回忆——引见——陪回家——相聚——感动
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.想起：crowd into her mind /float into her mind
②.僵住：freeze/root to the ground
③.流泪：burst into tears/ sob/ weep
情绪类
①.砰砰直跳：beat with excitement/thump with excitement
②紧紧地：firmly/ tightly
【点睛】[高分句型1].Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother's best friend, she said, "Betty, would you mind coming with me right now （运用了非谓语动词结构）
[高分句型2].The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. （由连接词the moment引导状语从句）
