We greet people we know and people we don’t know. Doctor Aka stopped and gave greetings to the men sitting along the way. Ayah and I came to a little store to buy bread and candies. It wouldn’t do, to arrive at the joy empty-handed.
It’s the end of my 7-month stay in an Uzbek village teaching English and I was walking down the dirt roads with my host parents — Doctor Aka and Nurse Ayah. We drew close to a relative’s house, Shakhnoza Sister’s, whose children we love. “Let’s see the baby. We can’t just go by without seeing the little Kyrgyz (吉尔吉斯人),” laughed the Doctor. It’s his personal joke to call the lovely baby a Kyrgyz.
We then continued our joy. There are endless occasions to throw party in this village. Birthdays, weddings, buying a car, a holiday — all call for throwing a party. The occasion in this evening was the return of a relative and his wife from working in Russa. Ayah and I joined the women in their separate pace. All the aunts were present. We enjoyed Russian chocolate, drank green tea, told stories, tasted Osh — a rice dish of Central Asia.
My departure (离开) in a few weeks was now a main topic: we were planning to have a good-bye party, to cry, to keep in touch by Skype, and for me to invite them to my wedding. The last blessing was given by the oldest person present. We headed out the gate amid “Bye, Cathy! Come again!” “Okay! Come to our house next time!” …
Seven months ago I didn’t know these people or their language. I didn’t know that I would visit from place to place and find them just that joy.

How important has Internet become in our lives The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found.
“In 2006, only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.”
The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant.
When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships.
According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense.)
“In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the ‘highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.”
8. Which is the most impressive result of the latest survey
A. Users’ dependence on Internet. B. The fast growth of Internet users.
C. The kindness of online communities. D. The strengthened family relationships.
9. How many participants found it the hardest to give up Internet in 2006
A. 15%. B. 38%. C. 53%. D. 68%.
10. What message does Lee Rainie seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. Online depression cannot be avoided. B. Don’t show off in online communities.
C. Don’t make unnecessary comparison. D. Copy your friends’ wonderful lifestyles.
11. How do the researchers feel about the results of the survey
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究人员通过调查研究发现互联网用户数量的爆炸式增长，但是网络也使很多人感到不快乐 。
【8题详解】
细节理解题，根据第二段“‘In 2006, only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,’ said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. ‘It is what has impressed us the most.’（2006年，只有14%的美国成年人使用互联网。皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)互联网项目主管李 雷尼(Lee Rainie)说，如今这个数字是87%。“这是给我们印象最深的。”）”及对比其他各项指标数值可知，互联网用户数量的爆炸式增长给研究人员留下了最深刻的印象。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in2006.（调查显示，53%的互联网用户表示，互联网已成为最难放弃的科技工具。这比2006年进行的一项类似调查的结果高出15%。）”可知，百分之38受访者认为2006年最难戒掉互联网。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题，根据最后一段“‘There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the ‘highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,’ said Lee Rainie. ‘It’s really silly.’（Lee Rainie说:“有强有力的证据表明，互联网用户倾向于将自己的日常生活与朋友生活中的‘精彩时刻’进行比较。”“这真的很愚蠢。”）”可知，Lee Rainie是在提醒网民不要进行错误的攀比。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题，通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found.（皮尤研究中心为庆祝网络诞生25周年进行了一项调查。研究人员对他们的发现感到非常振奋。）”可推断，研究人员对互联网的普及持乐观态度。故选A。

Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15 What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C. To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国上海的迪士尼乐园。设计者在里面融入了大量的中国元素。当然也提到了一些遗憾的地方，对中国元素还是有一些没有做到位的地方。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”(我可以向你保证，还有很多事情要透露，我迫不及待地想在未来岁月里与大家分享这一切。)可知，Joe Schott对上海迪士尼乐园的态度是充满信心的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段““We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.”(迪士尼董事长鲍勃·伊格尔表示：“我们不是在中国建造迪士尼乐园，而是建造了中国的迪士尼。”)和第七段“There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.”(有一家传统的中国茶馆，以当地食物为特色。《狮子王》首次以普通话演出，主角是孙悟空和身着中国戏曲服装的角色(服装)吸引亚洲观众。)可知，接下来提到的中国茶社、当地食物、中国戏曲服装、美猴王等都在说上海的迪士尼是融入了中国当地文化的迪士尼乐园。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses.”(当发现中国人没有最喜欢的迪斯尼公主时，该公司决定将所有公主都放在城堡里。) 可知，因为中国人没有特定的最受喜爱的迪士尼公主，所以在中国迪士尼乐园有迪士尼电影中所有的公主。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.”(然而，中国的迪斯尼乐园有时与中国没有密切联系。迪士尼唯一一部基于中国故事的动画片《花木兰》，讲述了一位中国女战士的故事，既没有自己的骑乘节目，也没有舞台剧。这个角色只是一尊雕像，漂浮在游行队伍中。)可知，文中提到花木兰主要是指花木兰电影是迪士尼拍过的唯一以中国故事为背景的动画电影，而这个角色却在中国迪士尼只是一个雕塑，没有进一步挖掘成舞台剧等。表明中国的迪士尼乐园没有充分反映中国文化。故选C。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a dark night in Texas when Luke Armstrong drove into town. He had a lot of things on his mind and he was driving slowly, thinking of solutions to his problems. He had a sick daughter named Anne, and he was worried she would give in to her illness before he could gather enough money to pay for the surgery (外科手术).
Suddenly, he noticed a flashy sports car parked by the side of the road. It looked like it had a broken tire, but Luke couldn’t be too sure. He passed it without giving it a second thought and continued down the road.
He was so lost in thought that he almost missed the prone (俯卧的) figure of a human lying just by the side of the road. “What is it ” he said to himself and his truck stopped beside the figure.
It was a woman, and she was weak. Luke immediately knew he had to help her as soon as possible. He noticed her expensive outfit as he lifted her. “Perhaps she owns the fancy car I saw a few minutes ago,” Luke said to himself as he moved her to his truck and turned on the heater.
He noticed that she seemed to be having trouble breathing, so he called 911 and reported his exact location as well as the predicament (困境) he found the woman in.
Soon the ambulance came, and the woman was carried away.
After checking on his daughter the next day, Luke decided to see how the woman he rescued was feeling. He had been told she was getting treated in the same hospital. It turned out that she was no longer in danger. She was very grateful for his kindness. After learning about his daughter, she expressed great sympathy (同情).
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

A week passed with Luke trying his best to work something out for his child.

Who might be kind enough to pay for the surgery
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A week passed with Luke trying his best to work something out for his child. He had taken on a part-time job in hopes that things would help out, but he knew it would be several months before his savings could cover the surgery. He was trying to find more solutions when he received a call from an unknown number. It was the head physician of a very expensive hospital, and he had great news. “I’m calling to arrange a suitable date for your daughter’s surgery. Someone has generously offered to pay for its cost,” the man said.
Who might be kind enough to pay for the surgery Luke thought to himself, wandering outside of the operating room. Fortunately, the surgery was successful. Luke was very happy but also very confused as he did not know who to thank. He asked his friends and relatives if they had donated the money, but in vain. When he went to pick up his daughter for her journey home, he caught sight of a beautiful woman smiling gracefully at him, and he got it in a flash. It was her, the woman he rescued on the highway.(169w)

We greet people we know and people we don’t know. Doctor Aka stopped and gave greetings to the men sitting along the way. Ayah and I came to a little store to buy bread and candies. It wouldn’t do, to arrive at the joy empty-handed.
It’s the end of my 7-month stay in an Uzbek village teaching English and I was walking down the dirt roads with my host parents — Doctor Aka and Nurse Ayah. We drew close to a relative’s house, Shakhnoza Sister’s, whose children we love. “Let’s see the baby. We can’t just go by without seeing the little Kyrgyz (吉尔吉斯人),” laughed the Doctor. It’s his personal joke to call the lovely baby a Kyrgyz.
We then continued our joy. There are endless occasions to throw party in this village. Birthdays, weddings, buying a car, a holiday — all call for throwing a party. The occasion in this evening was the return of a relative and his wife from working in Russa. Ayah and I joined the women in their separate pace. All the aunts were present. We enjoyed Russian chocolate, drank green tea, told stories, tasted Osh — a rice dish of Central Asia.
My departure (离开) in a few weeks was now a main topic: we were planning to have a good-bye party, to cry, to keep in touch by Skype, and for me to invite them to my wedding. The last blessing was given by the oldest person present. We headed out the gate amid “Bye, Cathy! Come again!” “Okay! Come to our house next time!” …
Seven months ago I didn’t know these people or their language. I didn’t know that I would visit from place to place and find them just that joy.
4. What can we know about Doctor Aka
A. He is kind and humorous. B. He is head of the village.
C. He never greets others. D. He works in Russia.
5. What’s the purpose of the author stay in the village for seven months
A. To sell bread. B. To teach English. C. To build roads. D. To visit a relative.
6. What can we learn about the party from paragraph 3
A. It’s for a couple’s returning from abroad. B. It’s hosted by Shakhnoza Sister.
C. It pushed the author to buy a car. D. It only served green tea to the guests.
7. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. She is planning to comeback. B. She wants to become a nurse.
C. She is unwilling to have a wedding. D. She misses her days in the village.
C
How important has Internet become in our lives The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found.
“In 2006, only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.”
The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant.
When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships.
According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense.)
“In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the ‘highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.”
8. Which is the most impressive result of the latest survey
A Users’ dependence on Internet. B. The fast growth of Internet users.
C. The kindness of online communities. D. The strengthened family relationships.
9. How many participants found it the hardest to give up Internet in 2006
A. 15%. B. 38%. C. 53%. D. 68%.
10. What message does Lee Rainie seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. Online depression cannot be avoided. B. Don’t show off in online communities.
C. Don’t make unnecessary comparison. D. Copy your friends’ wonderful lifestyles.
11. How do the researchers feel about the results of the survey
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
D
Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15. What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C. To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a dark night in Texas when Luke Armstrong drove into town. He had a lot of things on his mind, and he was driving slowly, thinking of solutions to his problems. He had a sick daughter named Anne, and he was worried she would give in to her illness before he could gather enough money to pay for the surgery (外科手术).
Suddenly, he noticed a flashy sports car parked by the side of the road. It looked like it had a broken tire, but Luke couldn’t be too sure. He passed it without giving it a second thought and continued down the road.
He was so lost in thought that he almost missed the prone (俯卧的) figure of a human lying just by the side of the road. “What is it ” he said to himself and his truck stopped beside the figure.
It was a woman, and she was weak. Luke immediately knew he had to help her as soon as possible. He noticed her expensive outfit as he lifted her. “Perhaps she owns the fancy car I saw a few minutes ago,” Luke said to himself as he moved her to his truck and turned on the heater.
He noticed that she seemed to be having trouble breathing so he called 911 and reported his exact location as well as the predicament (困境) he found the woman in.
Soon the ambulance came, and the woman was carried away.
After checking on his daughter the next day, Luke decided to see how the woman he rescued was feeling. He had been told she was getting treated in the same hospital. It turned out that she was no longer in danger. She was very grateful for his kindness. After learning about his daughter, she expressed great sympathy (同情).
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

A week passed with Luke trying his best to work something out for his child.
