阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Our bodies need a healthy diet which should include all the things you need to develop normally—proteins,carbohydrates,fats,minerals and vitamins.Cutting out things you might see as fattening,such as carbohydrates or fats,can stop your body from developing normally.
There are some simple rules which can help you to stay a healthy and normal weight.They sound quite easy but might be more difficult to put into practice.You can ask your family and friends to help you to stick to these rules—and it might even help them to be a bit healthier!
·Eat regular meals—breakfast,lunch and dinner.
·Include carbohydrate foods such as bread,potatoes,rice or pasta with every meal.
·Eat at roughly the same time each day.Long gaps between meals can make you so hungry that,when you do eventually eat,you eat far more than you need.
·Get enough sleep.
·Avoid sugary or high fat foods and junk foods.If you have a lunch of crisps,chocolate and a soft drink,it doesn’t feel as if you’re eating very much,but it will pile on the pounds.A sandwich or roll with fruit and milk or juice will make you feel fuller,but you are much less likely to put on weight—and it’s better for your skin.
If you follow these suggestions you will find it easier to control your weight,and you won’t find yourself wanting sweet foods all the time.

I had the meanest mother in the world.While other kids ate candy for breakfast,I had to have cereal eggs and toast.Others had Cokes and candy for lunch,while I had to eat a sandwich.As you can guess,my supper was different from the other kids.But at least I was not alone in my suffering.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.We had to wear clean clothes every day.Other kids always wore their clothes for days.We felt embarrassed because she made our clothes herself,just to save money.
The worst is yet to come.We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning.So while my friends slept,my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labour Law.She made us work.I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years,our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing,red for failing.My mother,however,would merely be content with the black marks.None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.Using this as a background,I’m now trying to bring up my three children.I’m filled with pride when my children think I’m mean because now I thank the meanest mother in the world every day.

Devon Gallagher,a college graduate from Philadelphia,wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler,who was born with a bone disease,had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four.Although the amputation caused misfortune for Gallagher early on,she now sees it as an inspiration for living her best life.
To spread the message,Gallagher has taken to social media,where she shares photos of her travels across the globe.Besides,she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent,which show her cycling over the canals in Amsterdam,relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona,posing with a waffle(华夫饼) in Brussels,taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest,with all the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden thought of getting a chalkboard,” Gallagher said.“My mum and grandmother weren’t too interested in the idea,but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it,so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg,but once she shares the photos,she receives only positive feedback.“My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said.“I know it’s because of my determination to prove to myself that I can do it.Therefore,I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.And if life gives you an artificial leg,make art.

Eventually Casey realized she had to head back to her classes.Chris told her to hold on for just one moment.He then picked up a piece of paper,wrote a short note on it,smiled and gave it to her.After Casey and Chris had said their goodbyes,she opened up the note and was alarmed at what it said.“I wanted to kill myself today.Because of you I now do not.Thank you,beautiful person,” Chris wrote.
Thanks to Casey’s kindness,going out of her way to not just buy a meal for someone in need,but actually sit down with that person and listen,some real change had occurred and one man went from suicidal to hopeful.All it takes is a cup of coffee and small conversation.

Why are people taking pictures of their faces,their hobbies and their food Why do we capture every single moment 36
The special thing about photography is that we can capture moments anywhere and anytime.All we need for this is our smartphone—something that rarely leaves our side.
37 Every single one of us can get started with this wonderful hobby,no matter if your goal is to sell your photographs or just to keep them for your own viewing pleasure.
Every picture you take is a personal story.There is no painting without context(背景).However,unlike a painting,you don’t need to spend hours of your time on it. 38
If you prefer to share your pictures with the world,you can also get immediate feedback(反馈). 39 Pictures connect and show the people around us what’s going on in our life right now.
The most amazing thing for me is without question the ability to capture every single click of a button. 40 It’s crazy how the emotions of one single picture can throw you back in time.We can connect to our past,no matter where we are and preserve those memories that are most meaningful.
A.Camera phones allow us to upload our pictures in a few seconds.
B.Photography is an amazing tool to appreciate the world around us and to stay in the moment.
C.I can’t really give you an answer,because I also like taking photos of everything.
D.Compared to other forms of visual art,you don’t need any special talent for it.
E.This enables me to remember every experience as it happens.
F.It is a way to express yourself through different photographs.
G.It is a way to allow each of you to become an artist.

34.C 细节理解题。根据第四段“Chris told her to hold on for just one moment.He then picked up a piece of paper,wrote a short note on it,smiled and gave it to her.After Casey and Chris had said their goodbyes,she opened up the note and was alarmed at what it said.‘I wanted to kill myself today.Because of you I now do not.Thank you,beautiful person,’Chris wrote.”可知,克里斯让凯西稍等片刻因为他想向她表达他的谢意。故选C项。
35.D 主旨大意题。文章讲述了女大学生Casey Fischer在购餐时遇上一名流浪汉,于是为对方也买了一份。因为她的善举,挽留住了一条生命。这篇文章告诉我们永远不要吝啬善良,一个自以为不起眼的小举动,也许就能带给别人希望。由此可知,用“The power of kindness”作标题最能概括文章大意。故选D项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们喜欢拍照的原因。
36.C 上文中提出了问题,由此推知下文要对问题进行回答。故选C项。
37.D 上文讲的是这个爱好(拍照)是不用任何技巧,人们仅仅是为了自己的观赏乐趣才保留它们。选项D符合语境。故选D项。
38.F 根据上文可知,你所拍摄的每一张照片都是一个个人故事。然而,不像一幅画,你不需要花几个小时在上面。讲述了拍照不费时间,所以下文要提的是拍照可以通过不同的照片来表达自己。故选F项。
39.A 根据上文“If you prefer to share your pictures with the world,you can also get immediate feedback”可知,选项A中的“upload our pictures in a few seconds”与上文的“immediate feedback ”在逻辑上是一致的。故选A项。
40.E 根据上文“The most amazing thing for me is without question the ability to capture every single click of a button.”可以推知,下文讲述的是这样做给“我”带来的意义。E项语义上与前文一致。故选E项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了曾经的作者没有自信,对生活充满恐惧,在去越南教书实习后,作者发生了很大的改变。
41.D “我很厌烦”和“我拥有大多数人所说的美好生活,我的生活也没有什么错”之间是转折关系,用However。故选D项。
42.B 根据空后“and loudly and make sharp memories instead of the gray ones of everyday life”可知这里意思是作者想要生活得明亮和响亮。故选B项。

47.D 根据下文“So I that the small steps weren’t enough.”可知作者尝试了所有方法,比如阅读有关自信的书籍。作者朝着目标迈出了一小步,但是没有一个真的有帮助。故选D项。
48.A 根据下文“I signed up for an internship teaching English in Vietnam,an huge step,one that terrified me as much as it excited me.”可知作者断定这些小步骤是不够的。故选A项。
49.B 根据下文“one that terrified me as much as it excited me”可知这巨大的进步是令人难以置信的。故选B项。
50.C 根据下文“I had no idea whether I would be able to everything this very strange environment would at me.”可知作者独自一人生活在一个食物和街道都很陌生的国家。故选C项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。针对“人们觉得曾经吃过的最好的美食是什么 ”进行调查,结果得到了一些有趣的答案。对许多人来说,美食不仅仅是关于食物的质量,也是关于某个假期的美好回忆或与之分享的人。
56.with 考查固定搭配。“share...with...”为固定搭配,意为“与……分享”,故填with。
57.what 考查宾语从句。本句是一个宾语从句。动词ask后有一个宾语从句,宾语从句中的系动词were缺少表语,指物,泛指,要用what。
58.interesting 考查形容词作定语。本空格在句中修饰名词answers,修饰名词要用形容词,修饰物要用interesting。
59.surveyed 考查非谓语动词。本空格在句中作chefs的定语。根据句意及语境可知,chefs与动词survey二者是被动关系,厨师是被调查的,故要用过去分词作定语,故填surveyed。
60.considered 考查动词的时态。根据前面的语境可知,叙述的是过去的事,因此要用一般过去时,故填considered。

第二节
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 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.”
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.
