Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.
“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”
When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.
The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.
James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.
James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily，listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases，a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
8. By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show .
A. Children should listen to music
B. Why adults should listen to music
C. Listening to music is only good for adults
D. Why scientists are interested in music
9. What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. shows. B. changes.
C. improves. D. harms.
10. The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means .
A. Understanding foreign cultures better
B. Learning languages better
C. Accepting the fast developing world easily
D. Showing greater interest in other cultures
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Why do Children Love Music
B. How to Choose Music for Children
C. Why is Music Important to Children
D. How to Teach Children Music Easily
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章由音乐对成年人的重要性进而引出音乐对儿童的重要性的介绍，并指出了一些理由，如对儿童智力有好处，能够帮助孩子们减轻压力，能够使孩子们心情更好等等。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it.可知听音乐对成年人来说是件好事。确实是。科学研究已经证明了这一点。由此可推知，作者在第一段中提到了科学研究，想说明为什么成年人应该听音乐。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.可知幸运是，听音乐可以帮助他们感觉更好。由此可知，本句意思为太多压力会损害孩子的健康。故划线单词意思为“损害”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.可知音乐可以帮助他们了解外国文化。由此可知，听音乐意味着更好地理解外国文化。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句Here are some reasons why music is important to children.可知以下是为什么音乐对孩子很重要的一些原因。结合文章主要论述了由音乐对成年人的重要性进而引出音乐对儿童的重要性的介绍，并指出了一些理由，如对儿童智力有好处，能够帮助孩子们减轻压力，能够使孩子们心情更好等等。故C选项“为什么音乐对孩子很重要？”符合文章标题。故选C。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题，根据后文Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.可知幸运的是，听音乐可以帮助他们感觉更好。由此可知，本句意思为太多压力会损害孩子的健康。故划线单词意思为“损害”。故选D。

Afternoon tea the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles Ⅱ and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o'clock. This became a habit of hers and later she began inviting friends to join her.
This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while seating in low, comfortable chairs or sofas.
While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea.
To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of London’s finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience.
We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it.
12. Why did the Duchess of Bedford need afternoon tea
A. It’s a fashionable palace social event. B. The evening meal was too late for her.
C. It’s a tradition from King Charles Ⅱ. D. She wanted to spread tea culture in UK.
13. What do we know about high tea
A. It was enjoyed by the upper class. B. It was started by Queen Victoria.
C. It was an occasional social activity. D. It was the main meal of the day.
14. What was the reason for the different names of high tea and low tea
A. Different surroundings to have tea. B. Different time to have tea.
C. Different social classes to have tea. D. Different types of tea.
15. What’s the purpose of this passage
A. To explain the origin of afternoon tea. B. To honor the tradition of drinking tea.
C. To advertise for tea experience trips. D. To introduce two afternoon tea types.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍关于英国下午茶的一些风俗，最后号召游客体验下午茶。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o'clock.”（当时午餐吃得很早，但晚餐很时髦是在八点钟后，两餐之间有很长一段时间。公爵夫人下午会饿，所以她要求在四点钟左右把茶和蛋糕送到她的房间。）可知，主要是因为晚餐供应时间离午餐太久，所以（会饥饿的）公爵夫人要喝下午茶。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families.”（虽然“低茶”在很大程度上是上层阶级的游戏，但“高茶”却是工薪阶层家庭必不可少的一餐。）以及“As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits.”（作为一天中最重要的一餐，餐桌上摆满了肉、面包、黄油、奶酪，当然还有一壶好的浓茶来提神。）可知， “high” tea是一天中非常重要的一餐。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“During the 1880’s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while seating in low, comfortable chairs or sofas.”（在19世纪80年代，上流社会的女性在下午茶时会盛装打扮，也被称为“低茶”，因为茶是在坐在低矮舒适的椅子或沙发上时喝的。）和文章第四段“Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea.”（因为它是在高高的餐桌上吃的，所以被称为“高”茶。）可知，low tea和 high tea主要区别是喝茶的地方和周围环境的差别。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it.”（在伦敦逗留期间，我们为您提供非常英式的下午茶体验之旅。当你想品尝文化时，只要告诉你的导游，我们会以非常合理的费用为你安排一切。这将是一生只有一次的经历。别错过了。）可知，文章主要的目的是打广告，让读者报名体验英国茶文化旅行。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国提出的“一带一路”倡议的发展历程和成就。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：2013年，中国国家主席习近平提出“一带一路”倡议。分析句子可知，propose(提出)是句中谓语动词，与主语Chinese President Xi Jinping之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语In 2013，应使用一般过去时态。故填proposed。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：随着“一带一路”倡议逐步连接世界，沿线国家的年轻人看到了“一带一路”的发展，对“一带一路”的认识也在加深。提示词修饰动词links，用副词gradually作状语，意为“逐渐地，逐步地”。故填gradually。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着“一带一路”倡议逐步连接世界，沿线国家的年轻人看到了“一带一路”的发展，对“一带一路”的认识也在加深。可数名词understanding在句中表示“理解，了解”，泛指，deeper发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我支持“一带一路”建设带来的互利共赢关系，因为它扩大和深化了世界各国的联系。分析句子可知，“(bring) by the BRI”作后置定语，bring(带来)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语a win-win relationship之间是被动关系，应用过去分词表被动和完成。故填brought。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。分析句子可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a win-win relationship，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：“一带一路”倡议还促进了各国之间的文化交流。提示词作定语，修饰名词exchanges，用形容词cultural，意为“文化的”。故填cultural。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，中国邀请俄罗斯艺术家来北京演出俄罗斯经典芭蕾舞剧《胡桃夹子》。“(perform) The Nutcracker”作宾语补足语，perform(表演)是非谓语动词，结合句意，表示将要去做的事情，用动词不定式。故填to perform。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：以此为基础，两国人民可以更好地了解对方的文化。use...as...是固定搭配，意为“把……作为……”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在肯尼亚，有教育交流的机会，肯尼亚学生被派往中国，让他们继续深造。“(allow) them to further their studies”作结果状语，allow(允许)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语opportunities之间是主动关系，用现在分词表示情理之中的结果。故填allowing。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：“一带一路”倡议给沿线国家带来了翻天覆地变化。提示词作宾语，用名词change，意为“改变，变化”，结合句意，变化很多，是复数含义。故填changes。

Davey got up early in the morning and couldn’t wait to look out of the window. To his great disappointment, it was snowing heavily outside. Usually he would look forward to watching snow, but today he was not. It was Christmas Eve, and because of the snowstorm, Davey was worried that his cousin Josh would be stuck in the road and couldn’t make it to his home for Christmas from a neighboring city.
“We haven’t seen each other for half a year, and I have got a special present for him!” Davey said to himself. “How I wish he could get here!” Davey turned away from the window with a sigh (叹气).
In the afternoon, Davey and his parents drove to the town to buy a Christmas tree. When they finished shopping and were about to leave the store, Davey saw a crowd of people outside. He ran to get a closer look. It was Santa Claus (圣诞老人)! Children were waiting in line to express their wishes to him. “Can I get in line, please Dad ” asked Davey. “Well, we’re kind of in a hurry,” said his dad. “But since this is Santa Claus, I guess we can spare the time.”
Davey gave his dad a big thank-you hug and ran to the line. When it was finally his turn, Davey climbed up on Santa’s lap. Santa asked, “Well, what would you like for Christmas ”
“I wish my cousin Josh could get home for Christmas,” Davey said. “But the snow is so deep that Mom and Dad don’t think he can make it.” Having known from the weather forecast(预报) that it would clear up with the snow stopping in the late afternoon, Santa Claus said, “I don’t usually deliver people on Christmas Eve, but I’ll tell you what to do. Tonight, before you go to sleep, make your wish on the biggest, brightest star in the sky. That’s the Wishing Star and it might hear your heart.”

I wish that Josh would come home tonight, so we can all be together for Christmas.” Then he kissed his mom and dad and was about to go to his bedroom.
Just then, they heard the doorbell. “Who could that be ”Davey’s dad wondered and went to open the door. Surprisingly, there was Josh outside the door! Davey ran to Josh with excitement and gave him the biggest hug he could manage. Josh had made it home after all. Davey’s Christmas wish had come true! Later that night, when Davey was finally in bed, he looked out of his window again, saying to the Wishing Star, “Thank you, Wishing Star. Merry Christmas!”

Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.
“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”
When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.
The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.
James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.
James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily，listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases，a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
8. By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show .
A. Children should listen to music
B. Why adults should listen to music
C. Listening to music is only good for adults
D. Why scientists are interested in music
9. What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. shows. B. changes.
C. improves. D. harms.
10. The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means .
A. Understanding foreign cultures better
B. Learning languages better
C. Accepting the fast developing world easily
D. Showing greater interest in other cultures
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Why do Children Love Music
B. How to Choose Music for Children
C. Why is Music Important to Children
D. How to Teach Children Music Easily

Afternoon tea, the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles Ⅱ and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o'clock. This became a habit of hers and later she began inviting friends to join her.
This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while seating in low, comfortable chairs or sofas.
While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea.
To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of London’s finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience.
We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it.
12. Why did the Duchess of Bedford need afternoon tea
A. It’s a fashionable palace social event. B. The evening meal was too late for her.
C. It’s a tradition from King Charles Ⅱ. D. She wanted to spread tea culture in UK.
13. What do we know about high tea
A. It was enjoyed by the upper class. B. It was started by Queen Victoria.
C. It was an occasional social activity. D. It was the main meal of the day.
14. What was the reason for the different names of high tea and low tea
A. Different surroundings to have tea. B. Different time to have tea.
C. Different social classes to have tea. D. Different types of tea.
15. What’s the purpose of this passage
A. To explain the origin of afternoon tea. B. To honor the tradition of drinking tea.
C. To advertise for tea experience trips. D. To introduce two afternoon tea types.
