A
Dear Mr. King,
I'm Bob Watson, one of the customers of your grocery store. I'm writing to express my opinions about your goods.
Your Supermart is super in many ways. First, I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh baked items. Second, your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to your Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don't like to make two trips. I have been a long-time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the satisfying items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer.
Specifically, I have never been able to get nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient(原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection to their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,
Bob Watson

From McDonald's to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget(预算). It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase(购买). For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.
One day I realized that I was spending $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! I decided to give myself a tight budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the whole week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it would be mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there would be no more fast food that week.
The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small one. It was still satisfying but not nearly as expensive. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. I never really felt unhappy because it was a wise choice to spend or save with each purchase.
The envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.
Changing the way I spent money on fast food not only helped my budget, but watched my weight. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but allowed to make positive choices to improve my life.

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about _________.
A.their home comforts B.their body shape
C.house buying D.healthy diets
2.A home environment in blue can help people ________.
A.digest food better B.reduce food intake
C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites
3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes
A.Eat quickly. B.Play fast music.
C.Use smaller spoons. D.Turn down the lights.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Is Your House Making You Fat B.Ways of Serving Dinner
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing
D
There it was. A test of will power. I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value. A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories
The latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I'd get an exercise session (训练时段). And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork. I put on my exercise outfit(全套服装) and went downstairs.
The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again. My reward: one small bite of cheese cake. If I wanted another, I'd have to run down and up and down and up again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vanilla(香草) goodness without guilt. I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted(冲刺) through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly, it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake. Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn't want the cake any more. I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favourite, I remembered my stairs trick.
1.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 1
A.She had weak will power.
B.She was bad-tempered and very critical.
C.She needed assistance with making the choice.
D.She hesitated over eating something against her diet.
2.What does the underlined word ''incentive" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Reason. B.Hesitation. C.Replacement. D.Companion.
3.What do we learn about the author's plan
A.It involved much energy consumption(消耗).
B.It rid the cake of the pleasant taste.
C.It changed the author's preference for food.
D.It was tiring and caused suffering.
4.What may be the best title for the passage
A.A Costly Dilemma B.An Evil Cheese Cake
C.A Trick That Worked D.A Sweating Experience

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proudly as they could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You are my knight in shining armor." He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, "You got that right." The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, "Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets, so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady told him the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say " The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea.

Paragraph 2:
That day my father and I went back to our car. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3.答案:A

3.答案:C
解析:考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Changing the way I spent money on fast food not only helped my budget, but watched my weight"可知,作者通过设定预算不但减少了快餐开支,而且控制了体重。由此可推断,信封预算对健康有好处。故C选项正确。
4.答案:C

2.词义猜测题。【关键句1】And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive.【关键句2】My reward: one small bite of cheese cake.【解析】关键句1中提到利用奶酪蛋糕实施锻炼计划,关键句2提到将奶酪蛋糕作为奖励,显然画线词意思与“奖励”相关。A项reason意为“理由”;B项hesitation意为“犹豫”;C项replacement意为“代替物”;D项companion意为“同伴”。结合画线句,显然用奶酪蛋糕作为锻炼的“理由”最合适,故答案选A项。
3.细节理解题。【关键句】I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted...【解析】根据关键句可知,作者制定的计划消耗了大量的能量,让她觉得筋疲力尽,只想喝水,对美味的蛋糕已不那么渴求了。故答案选A项。
4.主旨大意题。【关键句】My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favourite, I remembered my stairs trick.【解析】通读全文可知,作者设计了一个巧妙计划:将奶酪蛋糕作为锻炼的奖励。再由关键句可知,这个爬楼梯的伎俩奏效了,抓住其中plan worked和trick等词可知,答案选C项。
第二节
答案:①-⑤GDFAB
解析:①考查上下文串联。第一句"Everyone knows that fish is good for health."是总写,But表示转折,说明but前面一句是对第一句的解释,G项"鱼中的脂肪有助于预防心脏病"符合语境,故选G。
②考查上下文串联。题目前一句"Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult."可知,购买,存放和烧鱼并非难事,再根据后面一句可知,文章主要介绍了买鱼和烧鱼的简单知识,D项"这仅仅需要一点知识"符合语境,此题容易与C项混淆,C项后面应该直接跟烧鱼的方法,即C项与后一句重复,故选D。
③考查上下文串联。根据"Fresh fish should smell sweet"可知,本段讲的是买鱼的时候要闻一下鱼的气味,故选F。
④考查上下文串联。根据前一句"Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh."可知,带有强烈的味道的鱼都不是新鲜的,不应该买这样的鱼,A项与后句联系紧密,故选A。
⑤考查上下文串联。根据"Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot"可知,本段介绍的是蒸鱼的方法,故选B。

6.答案:A
解析:由文章首句及第六段中的“It'll be good for you to try something new”可知,“我”不是一个善于尝试新食物的人。由此可推断,此处表示“我”只拿了盘色拉,上面加了自己平时吃的调料。A.通常的;B.私人的;C.健康的;D.新的。top...with...意为“把……放在……的上面”;dressing在此处意为“调料”,usual dressing表示“平时吃的调料”。故选A。

11.答案:C
解析:由下文中的“I managed to break the shell...using the tip of my knife to dig bits of meat out of the shell.”及“it tasted good”可知,作者最终品尝了蟹腿。由此可知此处是对作者在品尝蟹腿前心理的描写:“我”最终鼓足勇气决定品尝一下蟹腿。give sth. a try尝试某物。故选C。A.改变;B.检查;D.触摸。
12.答案:D
解析:由上文中的“I managed to break the shell and cut my finger on the shell.”可知,“我”把蟹壳弄碎,却伤了自己的手指;由“it tasted good”可知作者最后尝到了蟹腿。再结合空前的finally和选项可推断此处是作者吃蟹腿时最后的动作:最后“我”用刀尖从壳里挖出一点蟹肉。end up doing sth.最终做某事。故选D。talk about doing sth.谈论做某事;worry about doing sth.担心做某事;give up doing sth.放弃做某事。
13.答案:C
解析:由上文中的“I managed to break the shell...using the tip of my knife to dig bits of meat out of the shell.”可知,“我”费了九牛二虎之力才吃到蟹肉,所以此处表示“我从来没有过为了吃一顿饭必须这么努力的情况”。work hard努力做。故选C。
14.答案:A
解析:由上文可知,起初“我”非常不愿意品尝蟹肉,在丈夫的鼓励下,“我”决定试一试。结合空后的“it tasted good”可知空后是作者没想到的结果(蟹肉竟然很好吃),与上文描述的作者不愿意品尝形成对比。由此推测此处表示一种意外。结合选项可知A项(令人惊讶地,出人意料地)符合语境,故选A。B.自然地;C.秘密地;D.不幸地。

第二节
答案:①What ②humans ③undoubtedly ④hotter ⑤astonished ⑥was ⑦and ⑧aching ⑨mine ⑩a
解析:①考查名词性从句。分析句子结构并结合语境可知, 本空引导主语从句, 且在从句中做主语, 意为"......的事物"。本空位于句首, 首字母应大写, 故填What。
②考查名词的单复数。本空做宾语从句主语we的同位语, 故应该用名词的复数形式。
③考查副词。分析句子结构可知, 空处做状语修饰动词help, 故填undoubtedly。
④考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知气温越低, 温泉就越热。本空所在句使用了"the+比较级..., the+比较级..."结构表示"越......, 越......", 故本空填hot的比较级hotter。
⑤考查形容词。本空在"leave+复合宾语"结构中做宾语补足语。astonished吃惊的, 惊讶的; astonishing令人惊讶的。根据语境可知, 这里指的是使我们惊讶, 故填astonished。
⑥考查时态。句中有时间状语then, 因此这里说的是当初人们把那些石头放在固定的位置上(即做成石头台阶)很难, 本空填was。
⑦考查连词。本空连接两个谓语动词(highlights和offers), 表示顺接关系, 因此这里填并列连词and。
⑧考查非谓语动词。本空在句中做定语, ache与中心词legs是逻辑上的主动关系, 故用现在分词aching。
⑨考查代词。与前面的"it will always stick in the visitor's memory"呼应, 这里表示"It sure sticks in my memory", 因此本空填名词性物主代词mine。
⑩考查冠词。此处must表示"必须做的事", 为可数名词, 通常用单数。a must表示"一件必须做的事"。

答案:
Dear Fred,
I'm delighted to introduce the recipe for Dongpo's Braised Pork to you.
First, prepare 600 g streaky pork with skin on and a proper amount of green onion, ginger, soy sauce, yellow rice wine and rock candy. Second, boil the pork in water for 3 minutes, take it out and cut it into large cubes. Next, put the green onion and ginger into the pot and put the pork cubes on them. After that, add other ingredients such as soy sauce, yellow rice wine and rock candy to the pot. The most important step is to boil the mixture in the pot for about two hours over the slow fire. Finally, a delicious dish appears in front of you.
That's all about the recipe for the dish. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Paragraph 1:
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea. My dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket." The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on, he looked straight into my dad's eyes, took my dad's hand in both of his, holding the $20 bill, and with his lips shaking, a tear running down his cheek, he replied, "Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family."
Paragraph 2:
That day my father and I went back to our car. When I asked Dad why he did so, Dad said, "My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn't begging for a handout, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young." He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. "We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn't go to the circus tonight, but we didn't go without."
