Mr. Black and Mr. White were two very famous artists in the city. Their drawings were also very popular in the city. But they tried to see who could draw the best picture.
One day they asked an old man to be the judge. Mr. Black drew an apple tree. He put his picture in the field. Soon the birds came and tried to eat the apples. The old man saw it and said, “You have certainly won. Mr. White cannot draw so good a picture as yours. But we will go to see his picture.”
They went to Mr. White’s house. There were nothing but red beautiful curtains on the wall. The old man asked, “Where is your picture, Mr. White ” He said, “Lift the curtains, and you will find my picture.” The old man tried to lift the curtains but found that they were drawn there.

We all know that drinking too much is bad for us, but what about moderate (适度) drinking
We’ve known about the relationship between moderate drinking and good health for quite some time. Researchers have identified that people who drink a moderate amount are at a lower risk of things like heart disease and fatness than both people who drink a lot and people who never drink. It’s fairly well-established that if you look at society at large, people who drink a moderate amount are the healthiest in a number of ways.
The problem is that moderate drinking isn’t an isolated behavior (孤立的行为). You can’t easily separate moderate drinking from the people who drink moderately, which means that you can’t easily identify whether it’s actually the alcohol (酒) that’s improving people’s health or something else.
The issue is pretty obvious when you look at the people who drink moderately in all of these studies. They tend to be more educated, smoke less and in general are better off than both people who drink a lot and those who never drink. People who never drink are also different in a lot of ways, for example, illness, poverty (贫穷), and previous alcoholism.
Recent studies in Israel and New Zealand show that there probably aren’t any significant health benefits of moderate drinking. Once you get rid of the effects of society, even a small amount of drink is connected to worse health.
It seems that moderate drinking probably isn’t good for our health after all. While there may be some minor heart health benefits, alcohol is addictive (使人成瘾的) and causes damage to many other organs.
I’m going to keep drinking, but not for my health. Wine is delicious and beer is just wonderful. Drink for the taste, drink to socialise, but don’t drink because you think it’s going to heal your heart. But if possible, try to drink less.
8. What is the common belief about drinking alcohol
A. Drinking has little to do with health. B. Moderate drinking benefits our health.
C. Drinking reduces the risk of heart disease. D. The healthier you are, the more you can drink.
9. Who is more likely to drink moderately
A. A rich man. B. A sick man.
C. A former alcoholic. D. A poorly-educated man.
10. What do we know about drinking from the fifth paragraph
A. Drinking is an isolated behaviour. B. Drinking is good for the society.
C. Drinking is more of a social activity. D. Drinking can cause bad health.
11. What can be the best title of this text
A. Is Alcohol Suitable for You B. What Is Moderate Drinking
C. Do You Know How to Drink D. Is Moderate Drinking Healthy
D
I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I m most passionate(感兴趣) about so I decided it was worth the 5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time After carefully analysing the situation, I came up with an explanation.
Now I realise, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.
It is obvious, in hindsight(在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour (如饥似渴地读) the whole thing in a matter of hours.
Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate(热爱) about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.
12. What surprised the author
A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap.
C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Explore ways to create a reading list.
B. Introduce his particular taste in books.
C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader.
D. Analyze how children’s books are classified.
14. What books does the author advise people to read
A. Those that attract their interest.
B. Those that enrich their knowledge.
C. Those that are popular among readers.
D. Those that are written by best-selling authors.
15. What is the best title for text
A. Learning from a great book B. How I fell in love with reading
C. Creating a successful study tour D. How I developed a reading habit

I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes, I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph1:
Slowly,Peter raised his hand.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Peter looked around.

We all know that drinking too much is bad for us, but what about moderate (适度) drinking
We’ve known about the relationship between moderate drinking and good health for quite some time. Researchers have identified that people who drink a moderate amount are at a lower risk of things like heart disease and fatness than both people who drink a lot and people who never drink. It’s fairly well-established that if you look at society at large, people who drink a moderate amount are the healthiest in a number of ways.
The problem is that moderate drinking isn’t an isolated behavior (孤立的行为). You can’t easily separate moderate drinking from the people who drink moderately, which means that you can’t easily identify whether it’s actually the alcohol (酒) that’s improving people’s health or something else.
The issue is pretty obvious when you look at the people who drink moderately in all of these studies. They tend to be more educated, smoke less and in general are better off than both people who drink a lot and those who never drink. People who never drink are also different in a lot of ways, for example, illness, poverty (贫穷), and previous alcoholism.
Recent studies in Israel and New Zealand show that there probably aren’t any significant health benefits of moderate drinking. Once you get rid of the effects of society, even a small amount of drink is connected to worse health.
It seems that moderate drinking probably isn’t good for our health after all. While there may be some minor heart health benefits, alcohol is addictive (使人成瘾的) and causes damage to many other organs.
I’m going to keep drinking, but not for my health. Wine is delicious and beer is just wonderful. Drink for the taste, drink to socialise, but don’t drink because you think it’s going to heal your heart. But if possible, try to drink less.
8. What is the common belief about drinking alcohol
A. Drinking has little to do with health. B. Moderate drinking benefits our health.
C. Drinking reduces the risk of heart disease. D. The healthier you are, the more you can drink.
9. Who is more likely to drink moderately
A. A rich man. B. A sick man.
C. A former alcoholic. D. A poorly-educated man.
10. What do we know about drinking from the fifth paragraph
A. Drinking is an isolated behaviour. B. Drinking is good for the society.
C. Drinking is more of a social activity. D. Drinking can cause bad health.
11. What can be the best title of this text
A. Is Alcohol Suitable for You B. What Is Moderate Drinking
C. Do You Know How to Drink D. Is Moderate Drinking Healthy
【答案】8 B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个最新研究发现：“适度饮酒有益健康”的说法是错误的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers have identified that people who drink a moderate amount are at a lower risk of things like heart disease and fatness than both people who drink a lot and people who never drink.(研究人员发现，与大量饮酒和从不饮酒的人相比，适度饮酒的人患心脏病和肥胖等疾病的风险更低)”可知，关于饮酒的普遍看法是适度饮酒有益健康。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“They tend to be more educated, smoke less and in general are better off than both people who drink a lot and those who never drink.(他们往往受教育程度更高，吸烟更少，总的来说，他们比酗酒和从不喝酒的人都更富有)”可知，适度饮酒的人往往受教育程度更高、吸烟更少，并比其他人更富有，所以有钱人更有可能适度饮酒。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Once you get rid of the effects of society, even a small amount of drink is connected to worse health.(一旦你摆脱了社会的影响，即使少量饮酒也会导致健康恶化)”可知，摆脱社会影响的话，饮酒会导致健康不良。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We all know that drinking too much is bad for us, but what about moderate drinking (我们都知道酗酒对我们有害，但适度饮酒又如何呢？)”以及文章内容可知，本文通过介绍了最近的研究，说明饮酒是一种社会行为，对健康没有任何益处，所以“适度饮酒是健康的吗？”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。

I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I m most passionate(感兴趣的) about so I decided it was worth the 5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time After carefully analysing the situation, I came up with an explanation.
Now I realise, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.
It is obvious, in hindsight(在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour (如饥似渴地读) the whole thing in a matter of hours.
Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate(热爱) about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.
12. What surprised the author
A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap.
C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Explore ways to create a reading list.
B. Introduce his particular taste in books.
C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader.
D. Analyze how children’s books are classified.
14. What books does the author advise people to read
A. Those that attract their interest.
B. Those that enrich their knowledge.
C. Those that are popular among readers.
D. Those that are written by best-selling authors.
15. What is the best title for text
A. Learning from a great book B. How I fell in love with reading
C. Creating a successful study tour D. How I developed a reading habit
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己如何爱上阅读的经历说明了什么是正确的读书方式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began.(令我惊讶的是，我在两个小时的返程航班上读完了整本书——从此我对阅读的热爱开始了)”可知，让作者感到惊讶的是他竟然读完了这本书。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.(作为一个孩子，我在看书或阅读方面没有太多经验。所以，当我决定拿起一本书时，我本以为这是我应该读的书，我相信我一定会喜欢。然后我最终认为自己是一个根本不喜欢读书的人)”等内容可知，本段旨在解释作者过去不喜欢读书的原因。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate(热爱) about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.(所以，要确保你读的是与你真正感兴趣的主题有关的书——不要害怕创建你独特的书架)”可知，作者建议人们读那些能引起兴趣的书。故选A。
【15题详解】

Friendship is very important to me.____16____ . In order to develop good friendships, I will always value these qualities in good friends and try to measure myself against these standards.
A good friend should be humorous. Nothing makes spending time together more fun than a friend who makes you laugh. My best friend is a funny girl. I feel happy when I listen to her talking. We laugh at the funny scenes in films, we laugh at each other’s silly mistakes, ____17____. No true friendship can grow unless the people involved are able to laugh together.

____19____. A good friend must be able to tell you the truth not only when you are right, but also when you are wrong. Without this, the friendship will only ever exist on the surface and never develop a deeper meaning. In fact, I am glad that my friend can always point out what I have done wrong. I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes, I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.
____20____. A friendship where both parties have all of these qualities will surely be a long-lasting relationship. It will enrich the lives of both friends.
A. A true friend should be honest.

【17题详解】
根据空前“We laugh at the funny scenes in films, we laugh at each other’s silly mistakes(我们笑电影中有趣的场景，我们笑对方愚蠢的错误)”可知，此处是描述作者和好朋友大笑的场景，C项“我们也笑自己”与上文语义一致，故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A close friend should also be trustworthy.(亲密的朋友也应该是值得信赖的)”以及下文“Whenever I feel low, my best friend has a way to break through my tears, and she will not let my secret out.(每当我情绪低落时，我最好的朋友总有办法打破我的眼泪，她不会让我的秘密泄露出去)”可知，亲密的朋友应是值得信赖，不会泄露秘密，D项“一个真正的朋友必须是一个你可以信任的人，可以把你的秘密告诉他”符合语境，故选 D。
【19题详解】
根据本段中“A good friend must be able to tell you the truth not only when you are right, but also when you are wrong.(一个好朋友必须能在你对的时候告诉你真相，也能在你错的时候告诉你真相)”以及“I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes, I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.(一开始我可能会不高兴，但当我意识到她就像一面镜子，诚实地反映我的错误时，我不得不承认，这种友谊使我成为一个更好的人)”可知，此处是说朋友之间应该诚实，A项“真正的朋友应该是诚实的”适合作为段落主题句，故选A。

To begin with, have a full and frank talk with your classmates about how you feel and tell them not to judge a book by its cover, which is a wise way to let your dark thoughts out. Additionally, take part in more activities in class and show yourself bravely, and your classmates will find you a good person to make friends with. Most importantly, if you are dangerously overweight, it is very important that you should try to lose weight properly. Of course, don’t turn to extreme methods to slim down quickly. You should have a balanced diet and get plenty of exercise.
I hope you’ll soon feel happy and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Allen

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph1:
Slowly,Peter raised his hand.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with ’s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’. ”Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s testpaper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
