One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. I became immediately interested because of the word “Poems” that appeared in big, hot pink letters.
“Is it good ” I asked her.
“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.
“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away, Just leaves them scattered① where they lay, …
① 散乱的
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise, ② I’ll miss her harum-scarum③ noise, And look in vain④ for scattered toys. ② 稳重 ③ 莽撞的 ④ 徒劳的
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sadness washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.
“It’s you, honey,” my mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem described a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was terrible. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible that I began crying.
“What’s wrong ” my mother asked.
“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay ”
“Okay,” I was still crying. My fear had gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple that I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now crazy about the idea of poetry (诗歌), words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
4. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again
A. It has a meaningful title.
B. It was a thick enough book.
C. Something on its cover caught her eye.
D. Her mother was reading it with interest.
5. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because ______.
A. it was a sign of her own childhood
B. it was written in simple language
C. it was written by a famous poet
D. it made her think of what would happen
6. What does the underlined word probably mean
A. Easily. B. Hardly. C. Nearly. D. Narrowly.
7. It can be known from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to ______.
A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles
C. find her wishing to grow up D. experience great homesickness
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文属于记叙文，叙述了作者通过阅读《帕蒂的诗》感受到诗歌的美，进而爱上了诗。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I became immediately interested because of the word “Poems” that appeared in big, hot pink letters.(我立刻就感兴趣了，因为“Poems”这个词是明亮鲜艳的粉红色大字。)”可知，作者会被这本书所吸引是因为这本书封面上印着明亮鲜艳的粉红色大字“Poems”，这引起了她的注意。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第六段中“To my mother, the poem described a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. (对我母亲来说，这首诗描述了一个妈妈在孩子长大离开时的感受。)”可知，对妈妈来说这首诗让她想起我也会长大，也会离开她。由此推知，作者的母亲喜欢读《帕蒂的诗》可能是因为这本书让她想到将要发生的事情。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“The language was simple, so simple that I could...(语言很简单，简单到……)”可推知，既然如此简单，那应该是很“容易”明白，划线词plainly与easily同义。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most. (毕竟，《帕蒂的诗》让我爱上了诗歌，但不是因为这首诗让我精神振奋，而是因为这首诗最伤我的心。)”可推知，《帕蒂的诗》让作者感受到了诗歌的力量。故选A项。
C
There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route (线路) the city planners laid down for us.
Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.
But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. “They see parkour as a lifestyle,” wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”
“Indeed, many do parkour just to escape the daily routine (常规) and experience the city in different ways,” wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It’s great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
8. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour
A. They move on as they wish. B. They plan the way in advance
C. They run faster than others. D. They stick to certain routes.
9. Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics
A. It’s a special way of life.
B. It draws their attention.
C. It’s good for people to keep healthy.
D. It needs some rules and instructions.
10. What do parkour practitioners think of parkour
A. It is more formal than other sports.
B. It is a creative way of life.
C. It’s worth adding to the sporting event.
D. It calls on people to work as a team.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. A new sports competition B. Parkour practitioners
C. Training in a different way D. Making the city their own
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了跑酷这项体育运动，跑酷爱好者将城市作为自己的游乐场，按照自己的意愿在城市中移动。国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。作者认为跑酷帮助人们变得有创造力，还可以释放压力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. (对他们来说，没有固定的路线。没有墙，也没有楼梯—因为他们通过跳跃、攀爬、翻滚和爬行来穿越、穿过、翻越和从任何他们发现的东西下面移动)”可知，跑酷爱好者会按照自己的意愿移动。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.(国际体操联合会(FIG)已经注意到这项活动正在吸引越来越多的人参加—据《卫报》报道，今天仅在英国就有10万人参加跑酷—以及它如何有助于人们变得更加强壮：它训练协调和平衡。因此，该组织正在考虑将跑酷作为一项新运动，并在2024年前将其加入奥运会)”可知，国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure. (他们把跑酷视为一种表达自己的方式，通过放松的动作和创造性的路线，同时释放自己的压力)”可知，酷跑运动员认为是一种创造性的生活方式。故选B。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。主要介绍了跑酷这项体育运动，跑酷爱好者将城市作为自己的游乐场，按照自己的意愿在城市中移动。国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。作者认为跑酷帮助人们变得有创造力，还可以释放压力。文章第二段讲到“To them, there are no fixed routes.

When you think of insects(昆虫), the first word that comes to mind probably won’t be “edible(可食用的)”. Surprisingly, what you may consider an insect may sound like a great meal to another. In Africa and the Middle East, insects such as grasshoppers and mealworms are a common dish. Many Asians also like eating insect dishes.
The idea of replacing(代替) pork, chicken, or beef with insects might sound unpleasant, but eating these small insects can be beneficial to both yourself and the environment.
There are over 2,100 types of edible insects in the world. Many of the insects that are eaten by humans are quite nutritious(有营养的). And they can be eaten in different ways: roasted over an open fire, freeze-dried, or cooked. In fact, insects can be added to various foods, and we likely won’t even notice the difference.
The biggest advantage is that the cost of raising insects is very pared to cows, insects produce eight times fewer carbon emissions(碳排放物) and need six times less water to keep.
To add to that, insects can be fed with waste products. Insect waste can also be repurposed into soil fertilizer(土肥). And unlike traditional farms which take up about 80% of all farming land, insect farms are relatively small and can save space for other uses.
All this makes insect farms more profitable, with little wastage of money and resources.
As our world’s population increases towards 9 billion by 2050, traditional farming will not be enough to meet its growing food needs.
Some companies have already begun experimenting with insects in their food products. Mealworm burger patties, protein powder, and gummy sweets are just a few of the new food creations. And a few months ago, the European Union (EU) said yes to insects for human consumption(食用)!
12. What can we learn about insect eating
A. It’s popular in Africa. B. It’s liked by the author.
C. It’s unpleasant for Asians. D. It’s accepted by few people.
13. What is the advantage of insect farming over traditional farming
A. It is simpler. B. It costs less.
C. It requires no skills. D. It needs no manpower.
14. Which of the following statements might the author agree with
A. Insects will replace beef in hamburgers by 2050.
B. Insects will be humans’ major food choices by 2050.
C. Insects will help meet the growing food needs of humans.
D. Insects will become more nutritious with modern farming.
15. What is the EU’s attitude towards insects becoming humans’ food choices
A. Uncaring. B. Thankful.
C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。世界上有许多种昆虫是可食用的，它们富含营养物质，饲养成本低，而且对环境友好。目前已经有多个公司尝试在他们的食物产品中加入昆虫配料。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In Africa and the Middle East, insects such as grasshoppers and mealworms are a common dish.(在非洲和中东，蝗虫和黄粉虫等昆虫是一种常见的食物。)”可知，在非洲和中东，昆虫菜肴很受欢迎。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The biggest advantage is that the cost of raising insects is very small.(最大的优点是饲养昆虫的成本很低。)”可知，饲养昆虫成本低。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As our world’s population increases towards 9 billion by 2050, traditional farming will not be enough to meet its growing food needs.(随着到2050年世界人口增加到90亿，传统农业将不足以满足其日益增长的粮食需求。)”可知，随着人口增加，传统农业将不足以满足日益增长的粮食需求，由此可推测出，昆虫作为可食用的食物，将会帮助满足人类日益增长的粮食需求。故选C。
【15题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段的最后一句“And a few months ago, the European Union (EU) said yes to insects for human consumption(食用)!(几个月前，欧盟赞同人类食用昆虫！)”可知，欧盟对人类食用昆虫表示赞同，由此可知，欧盟对昆虫作为人类的食物表示支持。say yes to意为“同意”。故选C。

___19___ For example, dishwashers are better at killing viruses than washing dishes by hand, because they keep dishes hotter for longer. Besides, many viruses can live in your washing machine. So wash clothes with hot water and use bleach, if possible. You may even want to run the washing machine with no clothes, just hot water and bleach.
Once you’re feeling better, don’t return to work or school right away. ___20___ If you had a fever, wait at least 24 hours after it ends before going out. This will help protect other people from getting sick.

【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. F

But there are some things you can do to avoid catching it.(如果你的家人有这种病，情况尤其如此。但是你可以做一些事情来避免感染它。)”中的转折词but可知，此处是指肠胃炎很难避免感染。所以选项C“它很容易传播，这使得它很难避免。”切合文意。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Using hand sanitizer (消毒杀菌剂) is better than nothing, but it doesn’t work well against stomach flu.(使用洗手液总比不使用强，但它对肠胃炎效果不佳。)”可知，此处是介绍为什么使用洗手液对肠胃炎效果不佳，所以选项E“这是因为洗手液杀灭的主要是细菌，而不是病毒。”切合文意。故选E。
【18题详解】

【19题详解】
根据后文“For example, dishwashers are better at killing viruses than washing dishes by hand, because they keep dishes hotter for longer.(例如，洗碗机比手洗盘子更能杀死病毒，因为洗碗机能使盘子保持更长时间的温度。)”可知，此处是指热水更容易杀死病毒，所以选项A“热水有助于杀死病毒。”切合文意。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Once you’re feeling better, don’t return to work or school right away.(一旦你感觉好些了，不要马上回去工作或上学。)”可知，此处是指病情好转之后仍具有传染性，所以选项F“在你感觉好些后的几天里，你仍然可以传播这种疾病。”切合文意。故选F。

At first there was no response from my parents. But my little brother replied eagerly, “Me too!”
Then finally my dad spoke, “What! What is it for This little stuff breaks down soon after you get it! It’s an absolutely useless expense (花费) …”
Then, I had an idea. When the summer vacation came, I lied to my parents that I couldn’t stay at home, because the school had supplementary (附加的) programs. As a result, I earned my money for a new MP3 through my part-time job.
I was at home the night before my new school when Mom came into my room. She sat on my bed, and patted me on the shoulder. Then she handed me a small box. “Take this. Don’t tell your father ... Now, study hard, okay ” she said softly.
“Mom, how did you ... ” I asked.
“It’s from my own savings. Your father doesn’t know.” I sat alone for a long time with my new MP3, weeping (哭泣) silently.

【答案】One afternoon, I was in my dorm when a classmate told me that my father was waiting for me downstairs. I rushed out of the door, ran downstairs anxiously, and saw my father standing there. At the sight of me, he managed an embarrassed smile and handed me a box, saying, “Son, I bought this for you since I overheard that it’s an efficient device for study. You will treasure it and use it for a good purpose, won’t you …” Swallowing the rest words, he just turned around and left for work hurriedly. Seeing him off, I dragged my legs to my dorm with the small box in hand.
I sat down and unwrapped the box. Gasping in astonishment, I found a totally brand new MP3 inside. It was neatly packed and the price tag was still attached. I gazed at it for a while, tears in eyes. The tired faces and weathered hands of my parents appeared before my eyes. How could I repay them After putting the MP3 away carefully, I headed for the classroom determinedly. I knew no matter what challenges I met, my parents would always be there for me with their deep love and wholehearted support. I also knew the progress I made in my study was the best present for them.

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. I became immediately interested because of the word “Poems” that appeared in big, hot pink letters.
“Is it good ” I asked her.
“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.
“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away, Just leaves them scattered① where they lay, …
① 散乱的
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise, ② I’ll miss her harum-scarum③ noise, And look in vain④ for scattered toys. ② 稳重 ③ 莽撞的 ④ 徒劳的
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sadness washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.
“It’s you, honey,” my mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem described a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was terrible. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible that I began crying.
“What’s wrong ” my mother asked.
“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay ”
“Okay,” I was still crying. My fear had gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple that I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now crazy about the idea of poetry (诗歌), words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
4. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again
A. It has a meaningful title.
B. It was a thick enough book.
C. Something on its cover caught her eye.
D. Her mother was reading it with interest.
5. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because ______.
A. it was a sign of her own childhood
B. it was written in simple language
C. it was written by a famous poet
D. it made her think of what would happen
6. What does the underlined word probably mean
A. Easily. B. Hardly. C. Nearly. D. Narrowly.
7. It can be known from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to ______.
A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles
C. find her wishing to grow up D. experience great homesickness
C
There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route (线路) the city planners laid down for us.
Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.
But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. “They see parkour as a lifestyle,” wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”
“Indeed, many do parkour just to escape the daily routine (常规) and experience the city in different ways,” wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It’s great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
8. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour
A. They move on as they wish. B. They plan the way in advance
C. They run faster than others. D. They stick to certain routes.
9. Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics
A. It’s a special way of life.
B. It draws their attention.
C. It’s good for people to keep healthy.
D. It needs some rules and instructions.
10. What do parkour practitioners think of parkour
A. It is more formal than other sports.
B. It is a creative way of life.
C. It’s worth adding to the sporting event.
D. It calls on people to work as a team.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. A new sports competition B. Parkour practitioners
C. Training in a different way D. Making the city their own
D
When you think of insects(昆虫), the first word that comes to mind probably won’t be “edible(可食用的)”. Surprisingly, what you may consider an insect may sound like a great meal to another. In Africa and the Middle East, insects such as grasshoppers and mealworms are a common dish. Many Asians also like eating insect dishes.
The idea of replacing(代替) pork, chicken, or beef with insects might sound unpleasant, but eating these small insects can be beneficial to both yourself and the environment.
There are over 2,100 types of edible insects in the world. Many of the insects that are eaten by humans are quite nutritious(有营养的). And they can be eaten in different ways: roasted over an open fire, freeze-dried, or cooked. In fact, insects can be added to various foods, and we likely won’t even notice the difference.
The biggest advantage is that the cost of raising insects is very pared to cows, insects produce eight times fewer carbon emissions(碳排放物) and need six times less water to keep.
To add to that, insects can be fed with waste products. Insect waste can also be repurposed into soil fertilizer(土肥). And unlike traditional farms which take up about 80% of all farming land, insect farms are relatively small and can save space for other uses.
All this makes insect farms more profitable, with little wastage of money and resources.
As our world’s population increases towards 9 billion by 2050, traditional farming will not be enough to meet its growing food needs.
Some companies have already begun experimenting with insects in their food products. Mealworm burger patties, protein powder, and gummy sweets are just a few of the new food creations. And a few months ago, the European Union (EU) said yes to insects for human consumption(食用)!
12. What can we learn about insect eating
A. It’s popular in Africa. B. It’s liked by the author.
C. It’s unpleasant for Asians. D. It’s accepted by few people.
13. What is the advantage of insect farming over traditional farming
A. It is simpler. B. It costs less.
C. It requires no skills. D. It needs no manpower.
14. Which of the following statements might the author agree with
A. Insects will replace beef in hamburgers by 2050.
B. Insects will be humans’ major food choices by 2050.
C. Insects will help meet the growing food needs of humans.
D. Insects will become more nutritious with modern farming.
15. What is the EU’s attitude towards insects becoming humans’ food choices
A. Uncaring. B. Thankful.
C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
