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.

(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。)”以及第二段第四句“As I went to clear her plate, I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along with a note. (当我去清理她的盘子时，我注意到她留下了一张100美元的钞票和一张便条。)”可知，作者是一家餐厅的服务员。故选D。
【5题详解】
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. Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!” (当我去清理她的盘子时，我注意到她留下了一张100美元的钞票和一张纸条，上面写着：“今天是我化疗的第14天，也是我26岁的生日。到目前为止，生活一直对我很好，我想我会把我的运气传给别人。祝你晚上愉快！” )”可知，女孩吃饭需要12美元，但是她留下了100美元作为礼物给陌生人。女孩给需要帮助的人一些经济支持。故选A。

词句猜测题。根据第三段前两句“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. (我这辈子还从没被陌生人这么感动过。 大约3个月前，我的母亲被诊断出肺癌，所以这件事hit very close to home.。)”可知，首先，作者从未如此被陌生人感动过。其次，作者因为女孩的行为想到了自己的母亲也正经历病痛，所以触动很大。由此可推知划线短语为“对作者触动很大”。故选C。

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.

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.

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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【12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。
【13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。

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。
【15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。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些真正朋友所具有的品质。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You’ve made friends since childhood.(你从小就有很多朋友)”以及后文“Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.(这里有一些迹象可以告诉你，你的朋友是否是真正的朋友)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出不知道谁是真正的朋友，引出后文的方法。故C选项“然而，你可能仍然不知道谁是你真正的朋友”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Honesty is important to keep your friendship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy your friendship.(诚实对保持友谊很重要。一个真正的朋友总是告诉你真相。有时可能很难，但谎言会毁掉你们的友谊)”可知，上文提到了诚实的重要性，本句为本段最后一句，承接上文继续说明朋友的诚实。故G选项“重要的是，你的朋友说话诚实，从不说谎或编造故事”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice.(真正的朋友总是有时间倾听你的问题，给你建议)”以及后文“But the fact that your friend has time to listen shows he cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he can never make time for you when you are in trouble.(但事实上，你的朋友有时间倾听，这表明他关心你。如果你的朋友在你有困难的时候都不能抽出时间来陪你，那他就不是真正的朋友)”可知，后文提到重要的是朋友花时间倾听，表明很关心自己，可推测本句是在说明朋友可能有时无法提供解决你问题的建议。故D选项“他可能无法提供解决你问题的方法”符合语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
空处为本段小标题。根据本段内容“A true friend will always show respect to your ideas whether he agrees or not. Your true friend may say no to you but never insists that he is correct. A true friend sets limits with you because he cares for you and your relationship with him. These limits are also a symbol of respect for you as it can help maintain your friendship.(一个真正的朋友总是会尊重你的想法，不管他是否同意。真正的朋友可能会对你说不，但从不坚持自己是对的。真正的朋友会给你设限，因为他关心你以及你们之间的关系。这些限制也是对你的尊重的象征，因为这有助于维持你们的友谊)”可知，本段的主旨是朋友之间也要始终保持尊重对方。故A选项“始终保持尊重”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据后文“We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his best friend.(我们都是不同的人，我们都会犯错误。真正的朋友总是宽容和理解的，因为他不想冒失去他最好的朋友的风险)”可知，后文提到了都会犯错误，可见朋友之间也会出现问题。故F选项“你和你的朋友之间可能会出现一些问题”符合语境，故选F。

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 items 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 return.
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
Paragraph 1:
Then the old woman introduced herself,

Paragraph 2:
The old woman agreed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
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, D.C. in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating in her mind. She assumed 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.”
Paragraph 2:
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after dinner. Arriving at Scout’s home, the old woman eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was amazed to see her childhood friend standing in front of her. How magical! The scarf indeed brought them good luck. Excited and moved, both of them were in tears. They hadn’t seen each other for many years and had many things to share.
【解析】
【导语】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，自此以后她们不再见面，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，并且带她去和祖母见面了。
【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……”可知，第一段讲这个老太太作了自我介绍。所以应该写：Betty讲述自己为什么也来到了美国，以及Eliza告诉Betty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。

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.

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.
8. 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

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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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 items 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 return.
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.
