Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy
Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30-minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other people by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.

After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first subway that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage (车厢) subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into misadventures.
4. Why does the author decided to take the subway
A. Because he believed in his ability to deal with the trip
B. Because the network covered most of the stops
C. Because he lived near the city center
D. Because he had a good impression of its cleanliness
5. Having been shown the room card, the young man .
A. still remained puzzled B. understood the author well
C. answered the author directly D. pointed at the subway map
6. Which of the following can’t be used to describe the young man
A. helpful. B. impolite. C. warm-hearted. D. responsible.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To prove the importance of being careful
B. To introduce a young man who didn’t know English
C. To complain some cultural misunderstanding
D. To describe one of his adventurous experiences
C
Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
9. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
10. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D. Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
11. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School
D
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they influence you on your decision or action, it’s called peer pressure. All of us, at some point in our lives, have had to deal with peer pressure.
Recent studies have shown that peer pressure might cause an upside to you. It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to become a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. When a teen knows that his teammates are practicing hard to become better players then it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team.
Having a group that brings positive peer pressure can also help you pick up healthy habits that can shape both your personality and your future. For example, when a child knows that some of his friends regularly read storybooks, he may get into the habit of reading. Seeing that his friends exercise daily, even he may take up the habit.
Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a fall in your self-confidence. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that others might make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” can influence them to leave their better judgment behind. Besides, it is common for teenagers to think that nobody understands them and that the whole world is against them. The influence of peer pressure is such that it keeps them completely away from their family and friends who mean well. They just shut themselves off and fall into bad company.
It’s likely that you’ve experienced the impact of peer pressure in different areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to. Sometimes it can be hard to resist(抵抗) and you may feel forced to do something you’re uncomfortable with. So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A quick reaction. B. A positive influence.
C. A serious challenge. D. A possible conflict
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 .
A. Peer pressure can get teenagers to become less self-confident
B. Peer pressure can provide a positive model for teammates
C. Peer pressure can get teenagers to make fun of their peers.
D. Peer pressure can help teenagers improve relationship with family members
14. What does the author advise us to do about peer pressure
A. Just follow the trends ranging from clothes to music.
B. Accept it all because it is hard to resist.
C. Stay clear-minded and choose the influence wisely.
D. Fit into a healthy and happy lifestyle.
15. Which section is the text probably taken from
A. Science. B. History. C. Opinion. D. Entertainment.

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。
“Hey!” the voice called from behind me. “Are you a girl or a duck？” I ignored the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp (跛行) to become even more apparent (明显). Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I took my place in the first row of desks and I was thankful for alphabetic seating (按字母顺序排列座位). My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end of it. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her comments, they would wave it off and tell me to ignore her.
Still, I hated that I didn’t walk like everyone else. I didn’t like not being able to run as fast or as straight as the other kids and I didn’t like getting picked last for teams in gym class. Mostly, though, I really hated it when people like Betsy made negative comments about how I walked.
One day, our teacher asked us to change seats. “Class,” our teacher addressed us one morning, “you’ve been in the same seats for a full term and you’ve become friendly with the students around you. Now it’s time to change seats and make some new friends.” The class let out a collective moan (集体抱怨). As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.
I knew this wasn’t going to be good and I soon discovered I was right. Betsy often leaned (倚靠)into my back “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. When that didn’t work, she poked (戳) me. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.
注意:.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
Paragraph 1: My mother sat me down and began to talk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Then one day I did what my mother taught me and amazing things happened.

After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first subway that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage (车厢) subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into misadventures.

Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
9. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
10. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D. Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
11. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今，祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同。文章通过举例说明了老年人和他们的孙辈使用社交媒体的不同习惯，以及对社交媒体的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-5 5 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.(如今，祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同。在英国，55岁以上的用户越来越多，这意味着他们很快将成为该网站的第二大用户群体，55-64岁的用户有350万，65岁以上的用户有290万)”可知，越来越多的老年人开始使用社交媒体。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”(59岁的希拉说：“我加入是为了看看我的孙子们在做什么，因为我的女儿上传了他们的视频和照片。这是一种比等待信件和照片更好的方式来了解他们在做什么。当我还是个孩子的时候，我们就是这样做的，但我觉得我很幸运，我能比我的祖父母看到更多他们的生活。”)”可推知，希拉对社交媒体感到满意。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”(另一方面，希拉和学校里的老朋友取得了联系，她已经40年没有联系了。她说：“我们用Facebook在全国各地安排见面。这完全改变了我的社交生活。”)”可推知，社交媒体实际上帮助老年人认识他们的朋友。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different.(如今，祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同)”结合文章通过举例说明了老年人和他们的孙辈使用社交媒体的不同习惯，以及对社交媒体的看法。可知，A选项“几代人的上网习惯不同”最符合文章标题。故选A。

People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they influence you on your decision or action, it’s called peer pressure. All of us, at some point in our lives, have had to deal with peer pressure.
Recent studies have shown that peer pressure might cause an upside to you. It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to become a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. When a teen knows that his teammates are practicing hard to become better players then it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team.
Having a group that brings positive peer pressure can also help you pick up healthy habits that can shape both your personality and your future. For example, when a child knows that some of his friends regularly read storybooks, he may get into the habit of reading. Seeing that his friends exercise daily, even he may take up the habit.
Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a fall in your self-confidence. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that others might make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” can influence them to leave their better judgment behind. Besides, it is common for teenagers to think that nobody understands them and that the whole world is against them. The influence of peer pressure is such that it keeps them completely away from their family and friends who mean well. They just shut themselves off and fall into bad company.
It’s likely that you’ve experienced the impact of peer pressure in different areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to. Sometimes it can be hard to resist(抵抗) and you may feel forced to do something you’re uncomfortable with. So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A quick reaction. B. A positive influence.
C. A serious challenge. D. A possible conflict
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 .
A. Peer pressure can get teenagers to become less self-confident
B. Peer pressure can provide a positive model for teammates
C. Peer pressure can get teenagers to make fun of their peers.
D. Peer pressure can help teenagers improve relationship with family members
14. What does the author advise us to do about peer pressure
A. Just follow the trends ranging from clothes to music.
B. Accept it all because it is hard to resist.
C. Stay clear-minded and choose the influence wisely.
D. Fit into a healthy and happy lifestyle.
15. Which section is the text probably taken from
A. Science. B. History. C. Opinion. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者主要给读者讲了什么是同伴压力和同伴压力的影响，以及要选择积极的同伴压力让自己成为更好的人。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to become a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. (它可以让你反思自己的行为，改变自己的方式，成为一个更好的人。观察别人努力来达到他们的目标，肯定会鼓励你做出巨大的努力来实现一些积极的事情)”可知，来自同伴的压力会让你做出积极的改变。所以划线单词所在的句子“Recent studies have shown that peer pressure might cause an upside to you.”意思是“最近的研究表明，来自同伴的压力可能会给你带来好处”，所以猜测an upside意思是“好处或者积极的影响”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a fall in your self-confidence. (就像有些影响可以是积极的，有些也可以是消极的。来自同伴的压力有时会使你的自信心下降)”可知，来自同辈的压力也会有降低自信这样的消极影响。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.(因此，意识到并仔细选择同伴的影响将带来健康和快乐的经历，这是一个终生的过程)”可知，作者建议读者要保持清醒、选择积极的同伴影响。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章最后一句“So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.(因此，意识到并仔细选择同伴的影响将带来健康和快乐的经历，这是一个终生的过程)”可知，作者建议大家选择积极的同伴压力让自己成为更好的人，所以文章主要介绍的是作者的观点和看法。由此推知，文章很有可能出自于“观点（看法）”栏目。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是许多喀麦隆学生有兴趣学习汉语，以提高自己的职业技能。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：近年来，喀麦隆讲汉语的学生人数大幅增加。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据该句中的时间状语in recent years可知，该句应该用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，同时，当the number of＋复数名词作主语时，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has increased/has been increasing。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：许多喀麦隆学生有兴趣学习汉语，以提高自己的职业技能。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，根据固定短语be interested in... 意为“对……感兴趣”可知，此处应为interested。故填interested。
【38题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：在整个非洲，喀麦隆是学习汉语人数最多的国家。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语，根据句中提到的范围In all of Africa以及定冠词the可知，此处应该用形容词的最高级形式。故填highest。
【39题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：我们有近200所中学可以提供汉语课程，”一位喀麦隆官员最近告诉新华社。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处使用关系代词，先行词schools指的是事物，所以使用关系代词which或者that。故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：这位官员说，“现在，又有四所州立大学正式申请开设中文课程。2008年，全国只有一所州立大学授予汉语学位。”分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语来修饰动词applied，formal的副词为formally意为“正式地”符合句意。故填formally。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这位官员说，“现在，又有四所州立大学正式申请开设中文课程。2008年，全国只有一所州立大学授予汉语学位。”分析句子结构可知，official为可数名词单数，结合句意可知，此处的official指的是上文中提到的同一人，所以此处使用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他强调，由马鲁阿大学和孔子学院共同培养的近300名喀麦隆人现在选择在全国的学校教授汉语。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语，根据固定用法choose to do sth意为“选择去做某事”可知，此处应使用动词不定式形式，且表示主动意义。故填to teach。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：在喀麦隆，很难找到学过汉语的人仍然失业，而其他语言的情况就不一样了。分析句子结构可知，此处为it作形式主语，动词不定式为该句真正的主语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填It。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在喀麦隆，很难找到学过汉语的人仍然失业，而其他语言的情况就不一样了。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，根据空前的other可知，此处应为名词复数形式。故填languages。
【45题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：在中国毕业后，喀麦隆学生选择继续在中国学习或在喀麦隆从事与中国有关的工作。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，graduate的名词为graduation意为“毕业”，且为不可数名词。故填graduation。

第二节 (满分 25 分)
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。
“Hey!” the voice called from behind me. “Are you a girl or a duck？” I ignored the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp (跛行) to become even more apparent (明显). Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I took my place in the first row of desks and I was thankful for alphabetic seating (按字母顺序排列座位). My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end of it. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her comments, they would wave it off and tell me to ignore her.
Still, I hated that I didn’t walk like everyone else. I didn’t like not being able to run as fast or as straight as the other kids and I didn’t like getting picked last for teams in gym class. Mostly, though, I really hated it when people like Betsy made negative comments about how I walked.
One day, our teacher asked us to change seats. “Class,” our teacher addressed us one morning, “you’ve been in the same seats for a full term and you’ve become friendly with the students around you. Now it’s time to change seats and make some new friends.” The class let out a collective moan (集体抱怨). As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.
I knew this wasn’t going to be good and I soon discovered I was right. Betsy often leaned (倚靠)into my back, “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. When that didn’t work, she poked (戳) me. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.
注意:.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
Paragraph 1: My mother sat me down and began to talk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Then one day I did what my mother taught me and amazing things happened.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
One possible version
My mother sat me down and began to talk. “Look,” she held my hand “there will always be mean people like Betsy in this world. That is hard to change. But you can change the way you cope with them. Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Treat them with kindness’ ” I shook my head. “It’s simple. Just show your kindness to the girl now and then. If she drops her pen, pick it up and hand it to her. Things like that. Just be nice to her.”
Then one day I did what my mother taught me and amazing things happened. Our teacher announced seriously that there would be an exam the next morning. As Betsy was not good at study, I offered to help her review. Betsy was surprised but grateful. She said shyly, “You’re so nice. I truly regret making those rude remarks on you. Can we be friends ” I was glad that I had followed my mom’s advice. It was just what I needed. And probably just what Betsy needed, too.
