The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special(物种) that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.
1. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4
A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.
B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.
C It slows down the loss of shade trees.
D. It improves local soil conditions.

A couple had to put their wedding on hold after a barn owl (仓枭) called Darcy which had been chosen to deliver the rings fell asleep in the roof of the church. The bride had secretly arranged it. But what happened was out of her expectation.
Rev Bryan, who was in charge of the ceremony between Sonia Cadman, 46, and Andrew Mettle, 49, said: “It would have been absolutely excellent — if it worked. It was a lovely idea and it was supposed to be really stunning. When it dived over the heads of the guests, they’d all feel the air rushing from its wings and would get a big surprise.
“The groom is an amateur falconer (训鹰人) and so it was secretly arranged for two falconers to suddenly appear at the moment when the best man was about to hand over the rings. One of them stood at the front of the church next to us with a gauntlet (金属护手) on, as another appeared at the back of the church with a box. The owl came out and paused for a little bit. Then it saw the gauntlet and took off but instead of landing on the arm of the man and delivering the rings, it went up over our heads, landed in the roof space and fell asleep then.”
Rev Bryan added: “We all laughed about it, and then we tried to get it down, but it didn’t come. It probably thought ‘I’m a barn owl and this is like a barn, so I’ll take a rest’. It is said that never work with animals because they don’t always do as they’re told! So we had plan B — a back-up pair of rings. After a few minutes, we gave up trying to get it down and carried on. It was nice to be able to have a bit of a laugh. It’s important that people realize that a church wedding doesn’t just come as a package of things you have to do. I’m all for including something of the personality and individuality of the couple getting married. It was such a magical wedding and full of emotion.”
“Luckily the service was able to go ahead and the groom was able to hold the bird (after it woke up) and have some really nice pictures taken after the ceremony. ”
5. Why did Darcy appear on the wedding ceremony
A. It was the pet of the new couple. B. The groom wanted to take picture with it.
C. It was expected to deliver the rings to the couple. D. The bride arranged to give it to the groom as a gift.
6. What does the underlined word “stunning”(paragraph 2)mean
A. Amazing. B. Funny. C. Harmonious. D. Inspiring.
7. What did Rev Bryan think of Darcy’s accident
A It had been intended by the two falconers.
B. It made the wedding not as good as expected.
C. It added fun to the routine wedding ceremony.
D. It helped people to realize the value of church weddings.
8. Sonia and Andrew’s wedding ceremony could not go on without ______.
A. the owl B. falconers C. the guests D. the back-up rings
C
For several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by those whose interests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things.
Stressing successes isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science ” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But what is typically thought to be the scientific method — develop a hypothesis (假设), then design an experiment to test it — isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things.
If there is no identifiable scientific method, then what is the reason for trust in science The answer is how those claims are evaluated. The common element in modern science, regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used, is the strict scrutiny (审查) of claims. It’s this tough, sustained process that works to make sure faulty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a lengthy “peer review” because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation (责任) to find faults.
A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads. In areas that have been contested, like climate science and vaccine safety, it’s thousands. This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim. And this is why diversity in science — the more people looking at a claim from different angles — is important.
Does this process ever go wrong Of course. Scientists are humans. There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical (矛盾的): that science produces both novelty and stability. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.
9. How does the author think of the scientific method
A. Stable. B. Persuasive.
C. Unreliable. D. Unrealistic.
10. What does the underlined word “vetted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Explained. B. Examined.
C. Repeated. D. Released.
11. According to the passage, the author may agree that ______.
A. it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claims
B. settled science tends to be collectively overturned
C. a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutiny
D. diversity in knowledge is the common element in science
12. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Put Your Faith in Science B. Defend the Truth in Science
C. Apply Your Mind to Science D. Explore A Dynamic Way to Science
D
We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
13. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
14. Which of the following uses the least energy
A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.
15. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices
A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.

Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch Who would I talk to Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then came the first class——Chinese painting.

As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, my deskmate, gave me a warm smile.

A couple had to put their wedding on hold after a barn owl (仓枭) called Darcy which had been chosen to deliver the rings fell asleep in the roof of the church. The bride had secretly arranged it. But what happened was out of her expectation.
Rev Bryan, who was in charge of the ceremony between Sonia Cadman, 46, and Andrew Mettle, 49, said: “It would have been absolutely excellent — if it worked. It was a lovely idea and it was supposed to be really stunning. When it dived over the heads of the guests, they’d all feel the air rushing from its wings and would get a big surprise.
“The groom is an amateur falconer (训鹰人) and so it was secretly arranged for two falconers to suddenly appear at the moment when the best man was about to hand over the rings. One of them stood at the front of the church next to us with a gauntlet (金属护手) on, as another appeared at the back of the church with a box. The owl came out and paused for a little bit. Then it saw the gauntlet and took off but instead of landing on the arm of the man and delivering the rings, it went up over our heads, landed in the roof space and fell asleep then.”
Rev Bryan added: “We all laughed about it, and then we tried to get it down, but it didn’t come. It probably thought ‘I’m a barn owl and this is like a barn, so I’ll take a rest’. It is said that never work with animals because they don’t always do as they’re told! So we had plan B — a back-up pair of rings. After a few minutes, we gave up trying to get it down and carried on. It was nice to be able to have a bit of a laugh. It’s important that people realize that a church wedding doesn’t just come as a package of things you have to do. I’m all for including something of the personality and individuality of the couple getting married. It was such a magical wedding and full of emotion.”
“Luckily the service was able to go ahead and the groom was able to hold the bird (after it woke up) and have some really nice pictures taken after the ceremony. ”
5. Why did Darcy appear on the wedding ceremony
A. It was the pet of the new couple. B. The groom wanted to take picture with it.
C. It was expected to deliver the rings to the couple. D. The bride arranged to give it to the groom as a gift.
6. What does the underlined word “stunning”(paragraph 2)mean
A. Amazing. B. Funny. C. Harmonious. D. Inspiring.
7. What did Rev Bryan think of Darcy’s accident
A. It had been intended by the two falconers.
B. It made the wedding not as good as expected.
C. It added fun to the routine wedding ceremony.
D. It helped people to realize the value of church weddings.

For several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by those whose interests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things.
Stressing successes isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science ” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But what is typically thought to be the scientific method — develop a hypothesis (假设), then design an experiment to test it — isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things.
If there is no identifiable scientific method, then what is the reason for trust in science The answer is how those claims are evaluated. The common element in modern science, regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used, is the strict scrutiny (审查) of claims. It’s this tough, sustained process that works to make sure faulty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a lengthy “peer review” because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation (责任) to find faults.
A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads. In areas that have been contested, like climate science and vaccine safety, it’s thousands. This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim. And this is why diversity in science — the more people looking at a claim from different angles — is important.
Does this process ever go wrong Of course. Scientists are humans. There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical (矛盾的): that science produces both novelty and stability. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.
9. How does the author think of the scientific method
A. Stable. B. Persuasive.
C. Unreliable. D. Unrealistic.
10. What does the underlined word “vetted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Explained. B. Examined.
C. Repeated. D. Released.
11. According to the passage, the author may agree that ______.
A. it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claims
B. settled science tends to be collectively overturned
C. a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutiny
D. diversity in knowledge is the common element in science
12. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Put Your Faith in Science B. Defend the Truth in Science
C. Apply Your Mind to Science D. Explore A Dynamic Way to Science
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. C 12. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了为什么科学值得我们信任。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的But what is typically thought to be the scientific method — develop a hypothesis (假设), then design an experiment to test it — isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things.可知，但是通常被认为是科学方法的方法——提出一个假设，然后设计一个实验来验证它——并不是科学家们真正在做的。科学是动态的：新方法被发明；旧的被遗弃；有时，科学家们会做很多不同的事情。由此可知，作者认为科学不是一成不变的，是新的方法不断发明，取代旧的方法。即科学方法不是固定的，不可信赖的，我们不能一成不变地依赖一种方法。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。由划线词所在句的前文A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively.可知，科学判断的一个关键方面是集体判断。由此推知，划线词所在句No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads.意为“只有经过几十个（如果不是几百个）负责人的审查，观点才会被接受。”由此可知，划线词意为“审查，仔细检查”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads.(科学判断的一个关键方面是集体判断。只有经过几十个（如果不是几百个）负责人的审查，观点才会被接受)及This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim.(这就是为什么当一个科学家，即使是一个非常著名的科学家，不同意这种观点时，我们通常没有理由过分担心)可知，科学观点是经过多人审查的，而某一个人，即使是非常著名的科学家也不能在审查中起决定性作用。故选C项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段For several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by those whose interests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things. (几十年来，一直存在着一场广泛的、有组织的运动，旨在引起人们对科学的不信任，其资助者是那些其利益和意识形态受到现代科学发现威胁的人。作为回应，科学家们倾向于强调科学的成功。毕竟，科学家在大多数事情上都是正确的)及最后一段中的Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.(面对新的证据，科学家的确会改变主意，但这是科学的强项，而不是弱点)可知，文章主要论述了我们为什么要相信科学。由此可知，A. Put Your Faith in Science(相信科学)适合做本文最佳标题。故选A项。
D
We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
13. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
14. Which of the following uses the least energy
A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.
15. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices
A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.
【答案】13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出纽约罗彻斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事研究证实：旧电子设备要比新设备耗能高，所以作者主张使用新电子设备，既经济又环保。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. (为了弄清楚这些设备消耗了多少电力，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的凯丽·巴比特和她的同事们追踪了每件产品在其整个生命周期中的环境成本——从其矿物被开采到我们停止使用该设备。)”可知，Babbitt’s team研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.(他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知，平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备，可以降低44%的耗能。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.( 但一项新的研究表明，即使旧设备过时了，我们也会继续使用它们。这对环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息，因为这些过时的设备比做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能量。)”以及下文对于一项研究的介绍文可知，因为旧的电子设备耗能高，不环保，因此推断作者建议停止使用旧的电子设备。故选A。

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill.___16___Fortunately, with a little extra effort, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it’ll become second nature.
___17___The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care about the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away That means they don’t want your communication to be any more personal than it already is.___18___And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.
It is worth noting that personal space is culturally different; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another.
Check their arms.___19___Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is slightly reserved, nervous or embarrassed about their appearance and trying to cover it, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(双手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.___20___

【20题详解】
根据上文“If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(双手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired. (如果他们的双臂交叉，而双脚分开得更宽，这是一个强硬或权威的姿势。如果有人将手臂放在脖子或头部后面，他们会对正在讨论的内容持开放态度，或者只是一般的随和。如果他们的手放在臀部，他们可能正在等待、不耐烦或只是累了。)”可知，主要介绍胳膊的不同姿势所反映出的人们内心的情况，与D项“If their hands are closed, they may be angry, or nervous. (如果他们的手合拢，他们可能会生气或紧张。)”上下文一致，符合文意，而且与上文中if从句构成了类似的排比句式，故选D项。

考查定语从句。句意：中国的食物不仅美味，而且是我所见过的最便宜的地方。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为：place，因先行词在定语从句中做状语表示地点，使用关系副词where引导定语从句，故填where。
【38题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意：同上。根据下文“I’ve ever found (我所见过的)”可知此处使用形容词的最高级，空白处应填形容词的最高级，故填cheapest。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：返回美国前在北京的最后一晚，我去了一家北京烤鸭店，有人建议我去试试。根据介词的相关用法，具体的某一天的晚上要用介词on，故填On。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做宾补使用非谓语动词，因空白处说的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to try。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：墙上有精美的木版印刷品，桌子上花瓶里有鲜花，漂亮的银器和漂亮的筷子。分析句子结构，这是一个省略there be结构的句子，空白处在句子中做主语使用名词，因此处表示的是数目不确定的名词，使用复数，故填prints。
【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：有人递给我一份菜单，我发现大部分食物的价格都很低，因为食物质量很高。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was handed。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：鸭子整只或半只，连同所有小装饰品——如果你吃过北京烤鸭，你就知道——一个小玉米饼，把切好的鸭肉和蔬菜、洋葱碎、酱汁放在里面。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为：decorations，因先行词在定语从句中作宾语指物，并且前面有不定代词all修饰，只能使用关系代词that引导定语从句，故填that。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不管怎样，我最后点了一整只鸭子，我想如果我吃不完，我会把剩下的带回酒店吃。分析句子结构，end up doing为固定短语，含义为“最终……”，符合句意，所以空白处应填动名词，故填ordering。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：令人难以置信的是，盘子里一整只鸭子一点都没剩下。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语duck之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填left。

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。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch Who would I talk to Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para1：
（版本一事情搞糟）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students got down to work. However, it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the brush and made it go as I wished Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots! So embarrassed was I that I felt blood rushing to my face.
（版本二无从下手）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. To tell the truth, I made every bit of effort to catch up with the teacher’s words, but still couldn’t understand what he was instructing at all. Then all the students were required to finish a piece of work on their own. Seeing those strange drawing tools and the blank paper on the desk, I felt really stressed because I had no idea where to start, also afraid of others laughing at me. I sat rooted in my seat, my face flushing with embarrassment
Para2:
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, my deskmate, gave me a warm smile. He seemed to understand my awkward situation, so he turned to me and carefully explained what I should do with fluent English. With his patient guidance, I managed to finish my first Chinese painting! Simple as it was, the teacher praised my work in front of the class. I couldn’t conceal my pleasure, and joy danced all the way to my heart, for I knew this would be a wonderful beginning of a new school life, just starting with a warm and friendly smile.
