A
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所). I suggested that they should stay at local bed and breakfasts, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfasts,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was odd. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where there was a sign saying “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full.
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. But that was not the case. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, however, it usually means that you have to take the road because the usual roads are closed.
English people have problems too when they are faced with foreign languages. Once in Paris, I happened to see a “librairie”. I thought it was a library and walked into it, asking to borrow some books. However, to my surprise the “librarians” all stared at me in amazement! Later I found out that “librairie” in French means “bookstore”.
1. What kind of advice did the author’s Spanish friends want
A Learning English.
B. Going to England by car.
C. Finding places to stay in England.
D. Driving their car on English roads.
2. The author suggested that his friends stay at bed and breakfasts because ________.
A. they would be able to practice their English
B. it would be convenient for them to have dinner
C. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
D. they would have no problem in finding accommodation there
3. What does “NO VACANCIES” in English mean
A. Holidays. B. No empty rooms.
C. Rooms available. D. Not away on holiday.

I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, all the details of my senior high school life are still fresh in my memory.
My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School of Shandong with a long history , which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable senior high school life, I feel happy and impressed.
To be honest, my senior high school life was tiring but I really enjoyed it. I focused myself on studies and studied hard to realize my dream. At that time, I got up at 5: 30 a. m. and went to bed late in order to have more time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities such as English speech contests and calligraphy (书法) competitions.
Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed topics of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to study better.
What's more, my dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I was quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do the cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.
This is my senior high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it.

A Love Note to My Mum
When I was a little girl, you always modelled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood the role that modelling played in your life. Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school.
I couldn’t thank you enough for what you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were focusing on reading law books. I was confused. Why were you doing what I did — memorising textbooks and studying for tests When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, either. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
Young as I was, those words kept ringing in my ears. I watched as you faced the challenges of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a model and a mum of five kids. You never complained or gave up. With your words of wisdom in my mind, I suddenly felt the freedom to pursue my dream. My whole world opened up. I set out to live my life filled with hope, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional success.
Your words became my motto(座右铭). As I grew up, I always found myself in the unique position of being either the first or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength from your words every time I got into trouble.
Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead(稳步前进) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges. You did it, and now I’m doing it. So much to do, so many dreams to realise.

Gone are the days when you and your best friend shared everything about your life. Whether you’re at fault or she is, mending a broken friendship is far from easy. If the relationship means a lot and you aren’t willing to simply throw it away, fixing it is possible. That’s what I have learned in the past months.
When I first moved to Florida I felt so out of place. I had come from a small town and was so unsure of myself. Luckily, my husband and I moved into a friendly neighbourhood, and things became better.
For many years, my neighbour across the street and I shared happy times. But then a misunderstanding occurred, and she quit speaking to me. I tried many times to speak to her about the issue and tell her how sorry I was that I had let her down. But she refused to take my phone calls and avoided me when I was outside.
During our conflict, my husband and I put our house up for sale. We weren’t leaving the neighbourhood because of a feeling of hurt; we were having twins and needed more room for our growing family.
Months later, I moved away without talking to her and putting an end to our misunderstanding. It always made me sad when I thought of how poorly it had ended. For many times I wished we had renewed our friendship. I just hated the feelings left from our unsolved conflict. It was like a scab(痂) that kept reopening and worsening with pain and upset.
About eight months after we moved, I decided to take a drive back into the old neighbourhood. As I drove down my street, I saw my former neighbour washing her car in her front yard. I knew that I needed to stop and greet her. I opened the car door and got out. To my surprise, she came up and gave me a big hug. We both apologized for our actions, and I felt that I finally achieved closure. I was able to say I was sorry and have it accepted.
12. What does the underlined phrase “out of place” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Excited. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Amazed. D. Disappointed.
13. Why did the author sell her house and move away
A. She had a violent quarrel with her neighbour.
B. The whole neighbourhood hurt her family badly.
C. Her husband insisted that they should move away.
D. The house didn’t have enough space for their family.
14 We can infer from Paragraph 5 that the author ________.
A. regretted not resolving the misunderstanding before moving
B. felt mad at her neighbour when she moved away
C. didn’t know how to get along with her neighbour
D. found peace whenever she recalled the memory
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Mending a Friendship
B. Saying Goodbye to a Friend
C. Argument with a Beloved Neighbour
D. A Friendship with an Unexpected Ending

47. 阅读下面材料，割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。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所). I suggested that they should stay at local bed and breakfasts, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfasts,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was odd. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where there was a sign saying “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full.
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign they thought they were going to have fun. But that was not the case. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, however, it usually means that you have to take the road because the usual roads are closed.
English people have problems too when they are faced with foreign languages. Once in Paris, I happened to see a “librairie”. I thought it was a library and walked into it, asking to borrow some books. However, to my surprise the “librarians” all stared at me in amazement! Later I found out that “librairie” in French means “bookstore”.
1. What kind of advice did the author’s Spanish friends want
A. Learning English.
B. Going to England by car.
C. Finding places to stay in England.
D. Driving their car on English roads.
2. The author suggested that his friends stay at bed and breakfasts because ________.
A. they would be able to practice their English
B. it would be convenient for them to have dinner
C. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
D. they would have no problem in finding accommodation there
3. What does “NO VACANCIES” in English mean
A. Holidays. B. No empty rooms.
C. Rooms available. D. Not away on holiday.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的朋友因为语言的差异性在国外发生的趣事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).”（在他们离开之前，他们向我寻求如何找到住所的建议。）可知，作者的西班牙朋友想要寻求如何在英格兰寻找住处的建议。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I suggested that they should stay at local bed and breakfasts, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.”（我建议他们应该待在当地住宿加早餐的旅馆，因为这类住宿给外国拜访者一个和这个家庭说英语的好机会。）可知，作者建议他的西班牙朋友住在当地提供住宿加早餐的家庭旅馆是因为他们有机会练习他们的英语。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms”（所以他们不能去外面标有“空房”的房子，这在英语中意为着有空闲的房间。）可知，在英语中“VACANCIES”意思是“有空的房间”，因此“NO VACANCIES”在英语中意思是“没有空房间”。故选B项。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was years later that I finally understood the role that modelling played in your life. Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school.”（多年以后，我才终于明白模特在你生命中所扮演的角色。我怎么不知道你为了上法学院把每一分钱都攒起来了。）可知，作者的妈妈之前做过时尚模特，由此赚钱上法学院。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Why were you doing what I did — memorising textbooks and studying for tests When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, either.”（你为什么要做我所做的事——背课本和准备考试？当你说你在法学院读书时，我更惊讶了。我也不知道妈妈也能当律师。）可知，作者感到困惑是因为她不知道妈妈竟然和自己一样也在背书，也要为考试学习，她不知道原来妈妈也可以成为律师。故选C项。

You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”（我也不知道妈妈也能当律师。你笑着说：“在生活中，你可以做任何你想做的事。”）和最后一段中的“Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead(稳步前进) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges. You did it, and now I’m doing it”（在你的鼓励下，我在人生的旅途中勇往直前，不再害怕犯错，也不再害怕挑战。你做到了，现在轮到我了。）可推知，作者妈妈追求梦想的经历激励了作者，使她勇于接受挑战。因此，我们应该志存高远，并勇于追梦，为之努力奋斗。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文中第二段的“I couldn’t thank you enough for what you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine.”（我对你感激不尽，那是我九岁那年秋天的一个下午，你对我说的话。）以及第三段中“With your words of wisdom in my mind, I suddenly felt the freedom to pursue my dream.”（有了你智慧的话语在我的脑海里，我突然感到了追求梦想的自由。）和倒数第二段中“Your words became my motto(座右铭).”（你的话成了我的座右铭）可推知，作者写这封信的主要目的是向妈妈表达她的钦佩之情。故选A项。
D
Gone are the days when you and your best friend shared everything about your life. Whether you’re at fault or she is, mending a broken friendship is far from easy. If the relationship means a lot and you aren’t willing to simply throw it away, fixing it is possible. That’s what I have learned in the past months.
When I first moved to Florida, I felt so out of place. I had come from a small town and was so unsure of myself. Luckily, my husband and I moved into a friendly neighbourhood, and things became better.
For many years, my neighbour across the street and I shared happy times. But then a misunderstanding occurred, and she quit speaking to me. I tried many times to speak to her about the issue and tell her how sorry I was that I had let her down. But she refused to take my phone calls and avoided me when I was outside.
During our conflict, my husband and I put our house up for sale. We weren’t leaving the neighbourhood because of a feeling of hurt; we were having twins and needed more room for our growing family.
Months later, I moved away without talking to her and putting an end to our misunderstanding. It always made me sad when I thought of how poorly it had ended. For many times I wished we had renewed our friendship. I just hated the feelings left from our unsolved conflict. It was like a scab(痂) that kept reopening and worsening with pain and upset.
About eight months after we moved, I decided to take a drive back into the old neighbourhood. As I drove down my street, I saw my former neighbour washing her car in her front yard. I knew that I needed to stop and greet her. I opened the car door and got out. To my surprise, she came up and gave me a big hug. We both apologized for our actions, and I felt that I finally achieved closure. I was able to say I was sorry and have it accepted.
12. What does the underlined phrase “out of place” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Excited. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Amazed. D. Disappointed.
13. Why did the author sell her house and move away
A. She had a violent quarrel with her neighbour.
B. The whole neighbourhood hurt her family badly.
C. Her husband insisted that they should move away.
D. The house didn’t have enough space for their family.
14. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that the author ________.
A. regretted not resolving the misunderstanding before moving
B. felt mad at her neighbour when she moved away
C. didn’t know how to get along with her neighbour
D. found peace whenever she recalled the memory
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Mending a Friendship
B. Saying Goodbye to a Friend
C. Argument with a Beloved Neighbour
D. A Friendship with an Unexpected Ending
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为不断壮大的家庭要搬家了，但是一直对搬走前没能解开同邻居之间的误会感到遗憾。搬家后的八个月，作者开车回到旧居与邻居互相拥抱。从而作者明白一个道理：只要你足够重视一份友谊，那么修补好它就是可能的。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句“When I first moved to Florida, I felt so out of place. I had come from a small town and was so unsure of myself. (当我第一次搬到佛罗里达时，我感到很out of place。我来自一个小镇，对自己很不自信。)”可知，作者第一次来到大城市，对一切都不熟悉，自信心不足，所以感到很不舒服。由此猜测划线部分意为“不舒服的”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“We weren’t leaving the neighbourhood because of a feeling of hurt; we were having twins and needed more room for our growing family. (我们离开这个社区不是因为感到受伤；我们有了双胞胎，需要更多的空间来容纳我们不断壮大的家庭。)”可知，作者搬家的原因他们的房子没有足够的空间容纳在壮大的一家人。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二三四句“It always made me sad when I thought of how poorly it had ended. For many times I wished we had renewed our friendship. I just hated the feelings left from our unsolved conflict. (每当我想到它的悲惨结局时，我总是很难过。很多次我都希望我们能重拾友谊。我只是讨厌我们没有解决的冲突留给我的感受。)”可知，作者一直对搬走前没能解开同邻居之间的误会感到遗憾。故选A。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。 根据第一段最后两句“If the relationship means a lot and you aren’t willing to simply throw it away, fixing it is possible. That’s what I have learned in the past months. (如果这段关系意味着很多，而且你不愿意简单地抛弃它，修复它是可能的。这就是我在过去几个月里学到的。)”以及下文作者对于自己经历的描述可知，作者在本文要讲的重点是只要你足够重视一份友谊，那么修补好它就是可能的。因此，本文的最佳标题应是“修补友谊”。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，割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。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades."
“Of course I will." I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I' m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day.
