“Shuan Q” is a meme(网络流行语)which can be used as a popular way to say “I’m speechless” with a matching emoji(表情包)at ached behind. No-one can deny the power of the Internet. Some believe it makes language weaker but some see a brighter side, believing it makes online communication easier between strangers.
An elementary school teacher in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, says that the evolution of Internet slang is not all fun and carefree. From his daily observations, he believes the “geographic boundary” between Internet slang and formal language is disappearing. On many occasions, the composition she has received from pupil have been flooded with abbreviated slangs(网络梗).
During last year’s Two Sessions, several representatives put forward proposals such as “regulating online language” and “banning vulgar(粗俗)words”, specifically to address this issue, expressing the need to reduce online language misuse and strengthen the protection of Chinese.
However many experts and scholars of linguistics and communication including Feng Zhiwei disagree. Feng, believes that Internet language is a natural product of the dynamic development of language, and it is not necessary to ban it.

Trainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to petitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.
To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.
32. Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
33. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports

34. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Common B. Unreasonable C. Unique. D. Frequent.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.
C. The problems of kids’ playing sports.
D. The benefits of kids’ playing sports.

The cost of a smile
Kathy was a young woman in her 20’s who worked in a small restaurant as a waitress. One day, as she went about her shift with her usual angry look, a kind old man walked in and sat down at the counter. He read the menu and politely told her what he wanted.
Kathy took his order and yelled, “Your food will be ready soon.” As she turned to leave, the man said, “A smile costs nothing”. Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order, cleared his plates, and gave him the bill, for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her, he smiled and thanked her. This only made her angrier.
A week went by, and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened. And each time Kathy took his order he would say, “A smile costs nothing.”
But a week later, Kathy picked up a menu, wrote the words “1 SMILE … $20" at the bottom, and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.
He came, and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu. The old man ordered his usual and added, “… and a smile, if you don’t mind”. Kathy was so surprised. She laughed out loud, “Now, now …” The man jokingly scolded. “I ordered a smile, not a laugh”. So Kathy put on a bright smile and said, “Coming right up, sir.” And to her surprise, he left $20 tip!
A few years went by, and the two bonded like family. Charlie, the kind old man, was a retired manager whose wife passed away long ago. He spent most of his time at home, with the exception of his frequent restaurant visits. Every day Kathy spent her break talking to him.

M: Because he suffers from anxiety. He lacks confidence. His brain is so active and he thinks too much. When it comes to exams, his intelligence actually works against him.
W: I wish we could help him. It seems so unfair that a person’s future can be determined by how well they perform on one particular day.
M: It is unfair — but life is unfair. We must try to help him by showing him how to keep calm in stressful situations.
W: How do we do that I can’t say that I’m exactly an expert at dealing with stress, although I am better at it than I used to be.
M: I can help him. I always think that exercise is a great way for dealing with stress and anxiety. When you have exhausted yourself while doing exercise, you don’t have the energy to be nervous.

To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.

A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
33. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.

35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了了“篮球之父”James Naismith 发明篮球的故事。
【56题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：虽然James Naismith 博士从来不认为这很重要，但他今天最出名的是一件事——他是篮球大师之一。由句意可知，“he never thought it very important”和“Dr. Naismith is today best known for one thing”之间呈转折关系，所以用连词although/though/while，引导让步状语从句。空格置于句首，首字母要大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：虽然James Naismith 博士从来不认为这很重要，但他今天最出名的是一件事——他是篮球大师之一。由空前提示“one of the”可知，该空填名词的复数，即masters，作表语。故填masters。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他于1861年出生于加拿大，最初在美国的一所特殊体校工作。分析句子成分，句子的谓语动词是worked，所以该空填非谓语。“某人出生”用be born表示，所以填过去分词born，空格置于句首，首字母要大写。故填Born。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：就在最后一天，詹姆斯想出了他的主意。空后是特殊的时间，所以用时间介词on，on the very last day表示“就在最后一天”。故填on。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据说“篮球的诞生”是在1891年12月21日，当时该校的两支球队进行了一场汗流浃背的的比赛。分析句子结构，此处考查非限制性定语从句，先行词是December 21, 1891，在从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when。故填when。
61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：据说“篮球的诞生”是在1891年12月21日，当时该校的两支球队进行了一场汗流浃背的的比赛。空后是名词game，所以该空填形容词sweaty，表示“汗淋淋的，汗流浃背的”作定语。故填sweaty。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：每支球队有九名球员，足球是为学生设计的，而不是篮球。分析句子成分，该空在句中作谓语。由提示动词“had”可知时态是一般过去时，主语footballs和design之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动，即were designed。故填were designed。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不久之后，游戏变成了每边五名球员，在球场上互相挑战。分析句子成分，该句子的谓语动词是changed，所以该空填非谓语。逻辑主语 five players 和challenge之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词challenging，作状语。故填challenging。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：令我们非常悲伤的是，James Naismith 博士没能活着看到篮球成为今天这样一项世界性的运动。分析句子成分，该空修饰介词短语to our sadness，所以用副词extremely，表示“非常，极度”，空格置于句首，首字母要大写。故填Extremely。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，在1936年，就在他去世前三年，篮球在柏林奥运会上成为奥运会项目。空后是可数名词单数“Olympic sport”，所以空格填不定冠词，表泛指。Olympic发音以元音音素开头，所以填an。故填an。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Frank,
I am more than glad to hear that you are to learn about Chinese culture and make more Chinese friends. Knowing that you expect to learn Chinese well, I’m writing to recommend some tips based on my experience.
Firstly, as an ancient language, Chinese is rich in words and cultural contents. Therefore, to be a smart Chinese learner, you’d better learn about the features of Chinese by doing a significant amount of reading. Only in this way, can you explore abundant expressions, as well as the cultural background. Additionally, fitting yourself into the local life, being exposed to local accent and turning to native speakers when necessary are also advisable. Moreover, I think we can talk in Chinese on the phone, or you can write letters in Chinese as often as you can.
Wish you a smart and successful Chinese learner!
Yours truly,
Li Hua

二、读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
The cost of a smile
Kathy was a young woman in her 20’s who worked in a small restaurant as a waitress. One day, as she went about her shift with her usual angry look, a kind old man walked in and sat down at the counter. He read the menu and politely told her what he wanted.
Kathy took his order and yelled, “Your food will be ready soon.” As she turned to leave, the man said, “A smile costs nothing”. Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order, cleared his plates, and gave him the bill, for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her, he smiled and thanked her. This only made her angrier.
A week went by, and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened. And each time Kathy took his order he would say, “A smile costs nothing.”
But a week later, Kathy picked up a menu, wrote the words “1 SMILE … $20" at the bottom, and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.
He came, and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu. The old man ordered his usual and added, “… and a smile, if you don’t mind”. Kathy was so surprised. She laughed out loud, “Now, now …” The man jokingly scolded. “I ordered a smile, not a laugh”. So Kathy put on a bright smile and said, “Coming right up, sir.” And to her surprise, he left $20 tip!
A few years went by, and the two bonded like family. Charlie, the kind old man, was a retired manager whose wife passed away long ago. He spent most of his time at home, with the exception of his frequent restaurant visits. Every day Kathy spent her break talking to him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
One day he didn’t come to the restaurant. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Several days after the funeral(葬礼), Kathy received a very important-looking letter in the mail.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day he didn't come to the restaurant. Kathy couldn't concentrate on her work the whole day. Even when the restaurant was going to close, Charlie didn't show up, and she was trapped in anxiety. After work, Kathy hurried to Charlie's home, only to be told by his neighbors that he had passed away last night. Not until then did she know that he had fought against cancer alone during the past years. Kathy couldn't trust her ears when she heard this. At Charlie's funeral, the happy memories with Charlie kept flashing in her mind.
Several days after the funeral, Kathy received a very important-looking letter in the mail. She opened the letter with her hands shaking slightly. At the sight of the familiar handwriting, tears welled up in Kathy's eyes. Charlie expressed his gratitude for her company these years. It suddenly dawned on Kathy that with the help of Charlie, she transformed from the previous angry-looking waitress to a smiling girl. Only then did she realize the true meaning of smile: bring others warmth and company.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要讲述了Kathy是个爱生气的女服务员，某天一位老人来餐馆吃饭，点完菜告诉她“微笑不花钱”，让Kathy更生气了。后来那个人每天都来吃午饭，每次Kathy为他点菜时，他都说：“微笑不用花钱。”到后来Kathy终于露出了微笑。几年过去了，他们也成为了朋友，这位善良的老人名叫Charlie，是一位退休的经理，他的妻子很久以前就去世了。除了经常去餐馆之外，他大部分时间都呆在家里。Kathy每天的休息时间都和他聊天。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：有一天他没有来餐厅。所以后文应该是讲述Kathy去Charlie家寻找他，却被告知Charlie昨晚去世了，他过去几年一直独自与癌症作斗争。听到这些，Kathy不敢相信自己的耳朵。在Charlie的葬礼上，和Charlie在一起的美好回忆不断在她脑海中闪现。
第二段开头是：葬礼后几天，Kathy收到一封信，看上去很重要。本段应该写信上的内容，信是Charlie写的，Charlie对她这些年来的陪伴表示感谢。Kathy突然意识到，在Charlie的帮助下，她从以前看起来生气的女服务员变成了一个微笑的女孩。她才意识到微笑的真正含义：给别人带来温暖和陪伴。
续写内容要符合逻辑，本篇主要用一般过去时，还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：concentrate on；show up；anxiety；only to；not until；dawn on；well up等高级词汇；Not until then did she know that he had fought against cancer alone during the past years.运用了倒装句；She opened the letter with her hands shaking slightly.运用with的复合结构等高级句式。
