The second platform of this far-famed North station, under the lengthy railway track, lays our “mighty mice kingdom.” I was born here on a rainy November night. Since then, the deafening trains accompanied me to sleep and woke me up early in the morning. The mountainous waste, the irregular black stones, the man in white waving the flags, people rushing towards their future, the roaring trains, the frequent announcements. All these have been close to my heart since I was born.
In the midst of the track, I saw a delicious piece of banana fritters that might have been thrown out of the train by someone. My eyes shone bright, and my mouth watered. My feet paced towards the yummy heavenly treat. Suddenly, the air was blowing violently, and my skin’s hair stood up again. I ran back to the hole. The Island Express train came and passed by in a flash of a second. My eyes became yellowish, dreaming of the mouth-watering banana fritters.
I advanced slowly, then two feet hurriedly, and finally, my hands were about to touch the crispy skin of the banana fritters. “Thud…” a cruel crow kidnapped my meal, destroyed my dreams and flew away. The flood of happiness inside my heart turned to a stormy sea. It was a public secret that I led a poverty-stricken life since the mice kingdom collapsed in 1999.
Again, the tiny buds of air around me was blowing, and I ran back to the hole. Dodger Express was passing by. The train made mocking (嘲笑的) sounds at me. “Loser”…. “Loser”…. A stone toppled and fell on my head. I hated myself, hated everything. I fell asleep to escape from this world of embarrassments.
4. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. The living conditions is pleasant. B. The mouse gets used to the surroundings.
C. The kingdom lies at the second floor. D. The mouse can’t fall asleep without deafening trains.
5. Why did the mouse advance slowly
A. Because it was scared of the crow.
B. Because it was out of safety concern.
C. Because it wasn’t desperate for the banana fritters.
D. Because the mouse was frightened by the violently blowing air.
6. What’s the mouse’s reaction to the crow’s behavior
A. Sad B. Ashamed C. Annoyed D. Disappointed
7. What does “loser” indicate in the last paragraph

Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.”
PFAS chemicals infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues, including thyroid disease, liver damage, kidney cancer and so on. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items, such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans, to make them water and heat-resistant.
For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials — paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested.
“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw — or just avoid using straws.”
The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.
8. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Plain. B. Relevant.
C. Doubtful. D. Forceful.
9. Why are PFAS chemicals known as “forever chemicals”
A. They are resistant to water and heat.
B. They take a long time to break down.
C. They exist widely in daily necessities.
D. They may cause various common diseases.
10. What can we know from the test for PFAS
A. PFAS was found in all five types of straws.
B. Paper straws were most likely to contain PFAS.
C. Stainless steel straws are harmless to human health.
D. Glass straws were the most environmentally friendly straws.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the potential risks of PFAS.
B. To show approaches to using straws safely.
C. To present the advantages of stainless steel straws.
D. To appeal to consumers to avoid using straws in daily life.
D
Time spent with friends in childhood is associated with physical health in adulthood, according to data from a multi-decade study of men. The findings show that boys who spent more time with friends as children tended to have lower blood pressure and lower Body Mass Index (体重指数) as men in their early 30s. “These findings suggest that our early social lives may have a small protective influence on our physical health in adulthood, and that it’s not just our caregivers or financial circumstances, but also our friends that may be health protectors,” says psychological scientist Jenny Cundiff.
“Although this wasn’t an experiment, it was a well-controlled longitudinal (纵观的) study with a racially diverse sample. It provides a strong clue that being socially integrated early in life is good for our health independent of a number of other factors such as personality and weight in childhood,” professor Karen Matthews of the University of Pittsburgh explains.
In many previous studies, researchers found an association between adults’ social well-being and health-related outcomes. Cundiff wondered whether this association might be evident much earlier in life, in childhood and adolescence (青春期).
To find out, Cundiff turned her attention to the longitudinal Pittsburgh Youth Study. Specifically, she looked into the information and facts about 267 individuals in Pittsburgh public schools. The participants’ parents reported how much time their children spent with their friends during an average week, beginning when the boys were about 6 years old and continuing through age 16. Analyses revealed that hoys who spent more time with their friends in childhood and adolescence had healthier blood pressure and BMI at 32. This association held even after Cundiff accounted for other potential influences, including physical health in childhood and social integration in adulthood.
The study included only one measure of social integration and did not include specific measures of physiological processes or organic function. Cundiff notes that expanding the range of measures used in future research could help to clarify the pathways linking early peer (同龄人) relationships with physical health decades later.
12. What conclusion does Jenny Cundiff draw from the study
A. Boys tend to spend more time with friends in childhood.
B. Boys are generally more protective as a member of society.
C. Childhood friendships may have health benefits in adulthood.
D. Childhood experiences make a difference to one’s personality.
13. How does Karen Matthews like the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Inspiring. C. Experimental. D. Reasonable.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The field and focus of the study.
B. The course and result of the study.
C. The organizer and subject of the study.
D. The purpose and significance of the study.
15. What’s the limitation of the study
A. Being short of sufficient samples.
B. Not involving men from diverse backgrounds.
C. Lacking multi-dimensional evaluation.
D. Not expanding the range of early peer relationships.
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
Problems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, you are not alone. There are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.
___16___
This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship.
Take their perspective.
___17___So once you can understand their position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to take their perspective and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.
Develop your own identity.
It is OK and even healthy for you to think for yourself and to have your own opinion on matters. ___18___Moreover, in gaining a new sense of independence and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves organically.
Don’t ask for their advice unless you really want it.
Sometimes problems arise between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents try to give advice in an overpowering way that makes the kids feeling uncomfortable. ___19___ However, if you are just feeling lazy to think about things on your own, you can also ask your parents.
Establish boundaries and make rules.
If you want to maintain a positive relationship with parents, but find that you always end up disagreeing, consider setting up some topics as off-limits. This may work better if you are older or no longer live with your parents. ___20___
A. In this way, you gain your own identity.
B. Separate from your parents emotionally.
C. Parents’ opinions on your issues are constructive.
D. Construct strong emotional attachment with your parents.
E. Also try creating rules that both you and your parents agree to abide by (遵守).
F. Often, kids and parents do not get along because they fail to consider each other’s perspectives.
G. To get around this, try only asking for their advice when you are sure that you really want their view.

Priscilla and I had been classmates for several years but we never really liked each other. We had different groups of friends. Priscilla’s friends were very good at sports while my friends and I performed well in our studies. Priscilla was our school’s top athlete and was constantly praised by our teachers. I was jealous of her athletic abilities and her popularity at school. Maliciously (怀有恶意地), I thought she was just manipulating the teachers and her friends with her charm. I felt she was an insincere and shallow person. Therefore, I wanted to have nothing to do with her.
One afternoon, our class attended an adventure camp. One of the activities we participated in was rock climbing. I was very keen to learn rock climbing. We practiced first on a rock climbing wall, and once we had mastered the skills, we could go on to climb the cliff in the forest reserve. Rock climbers must work with a partner. While one person climbs, the partner must hold on tightly to the other end of the rope for safety. If the climber falls, the partner is responsible for stopping the fall.
The trainer assigned Priscilla to be my partner! I was very upset. How could I trust Priscilla She would not stop me from falling. She would probably wish that I would fall. However, there was nothing I could do because the trainer wouldn’t allow us to change partners. So I climbed and Priscilla held on to the safety rope.
While climbing, a wave of joy and confidence came over me. I cautiously made my way up the wall, caught each notch (凹槽) above tightly, and pulled myself up. Every muscle in my body was shaking from the strain of climbing but I wanted to prove to everyone that I was a better rock climber than Priscilla. Thinking about outperforming Priscilla, my focus on climbing left me as I reached for a notch that was too far from my reach. I took a risk and jumped up to grab it.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next thing I knew was that I was falling down quickly.

Fortunately, Priscilla came to the rescue just in time.

Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.”
PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues, including thyroid disease, liver damage, kidney cancer and so on. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items, such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans, to make them water and heat-resistant.
For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials — paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested.
“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw — or just avoid using straws.”
The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.
8. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Plain. B. Relevant.
C. Doubtful. D. Forceful.
9. Why are PFAS chemicals known as “forever chemicals”
A. They are resistant to water and heat.
B. They take a long time to break down.
C. They exist widely in daily necessities.
D. They may cause various common diseases.
10. What can we know from the test for PFAS
A. PFAS was found in all five types of straws.
B. Paper straws were most likely to contain PFAS.
C. Stainless steel straws are harmless to human health.
D. Glass straws were the most environmentally friendly straws.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the potential risks of PFAS.
B. To show approaches to using straws safely.
C. To present the advantages of stainless steel straws.
D. To appeal to consumers to avoid using straws in daily life.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了安特卫普大学的环境科学家、研究员蒂莫·格罗芬博士表示，用纸和竹子等植物材料制成的吸管，通常被宣传为比塑料制成的吸管更可持续、更环保。然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means…”（然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着……）以及第二段中“PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment.”（PFAS化学物质因其寿命长和潜在危害而臭名昭著，会对人类、野生动物和环境产生不利影响。）可知，此处应为这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。故可猜测划线单词discredited为“不可信”的意思，结合选项C项Doubtful“怀疑的”意思一致。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”.”（随着时间的推移，它们的生物降解非常缓慢，可以在环境中存在数千年，这一特性使它们被称为“永远的化学物质”。）可知，PFAS化学物质被称为“永远的化学物质”是因为它们需要很长时间才能降解。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands.”（他们发现大多数品牌(69%)含有PFAS，总共检测到18种不同的PFAS。在纸质吸管中，90%的品牌检测到PFAS。在80%的竹吸管、75%的塑料吸管和40%的玻璃吸管中也检测到PFAS。）可知，从PFAS测试中我们能知道纸吸管最可能含有PFAS。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.”（PFAS浓度较低，考虑到大多数人只是偶尔使用吸管，对人体健康构成的风险有限。然而，PFAS可以在体内停留多年，浓度会随着时间的推移而增加。“少量的PFAS虽然本身无害，但会增加体内已经存在的化学负荷，”Groffen博士总结道。）可推知，作者在最后一段想强调PFAS的潜在风险。故选A项。
D
Time spent with friends in childhood is associated with physical health in adulthood, according to data from a multi-decade study of men. The findings show that boys who spent more time with friends as children tended to have lower blood pressure and lower Body Mass Index (体重指数) as men in their early 30s. “These findings suggest that our early social lives may have a small protective influence on our physical health in adulthood, and that it’s not just our caregivers or financial circumstances, but also our friends that may be health protectors,” says psychological scientist Jenny Cundiff.
“Although this wasn’t an experiment, it was a well-controlled longitudinal (纵观的) study with a racially diverse sample. It provides a strong clue that being socially integrated early in life is good for our health independent of a number of other factors such as personality and weight in childhood,” professor Karen Matthews of the University of Pittsburgh explains.
In many previous studies, researchers found an association between adults’ social well-being and health-related outcomes. Cundiff wondered whether this association might be evident much earlier in life, in childhood and adolescence (青春期).
To find out, Cundiff turned her attention to the longitudinal Pittsburgh Youth Study. Specifically, she looked into the information and facts about 267 individuals in Pittsburgh public schools. The participants’ parents reported how much time their children spent with their friends during an average week, beginning when the boys were about 6 years old and continuing through age 16. Analyses revealed that hoys who spent more time with their friends in childhood and adolescence had healthier blood pressure and BMI at 32. This association held even after Cundiff accounted for other potential influences, including physical health in childhood and social integration in adulthood.
The study included only one measure of social integration and did not include specific measures of physiological processes or organic function. Cundiff notes that expanding the range of measures used in future research could help to clarify the pathways linking early peer (同龄人) relationships with physical health decades later.
12. What conclusion does Jenny Cundiff draw from the study
A. Boys tend to spend more time with friends in childhood.
B. Boys are generally more protective as a member of society.
C. Childhood friendships may have health benefits in adulthood.
D. Childhood experiences make a difference to one’s personality.
13. How does Karen Matthews like the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Inspiring. C. Experimental. D. Reasonable.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The field and focus of the study.
B. The course and result of the study.
C. The organizer and subject of the study.
D. The purpose and significance of the study.
15. What’s the limitation of the study
A. Being short of sufficient samples.
B. Not involving men from diverse backgrounds.
C. Lacking multi-dimensional evaluation.
D. Not expanding the range of early peer relationships.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍根据一项针对男性的长达数十年的研究数据，童年时期与朋友相处的时间与成年后的身体健康有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“These findings suggest that our early social lives may have a small protective influence on our physical health in adulthood, and that it’s not just our caregivers or financial circumstances, but also our friends that may be health protectors(这些发现表明，我们早期的社交生活可能对成年后的身体健康产生较小的保护作用，不仅是我们的照顾者或经济状况，还有我们的朋友可能是健康保护者)”可知，童年的友谊可能对成年后的健康有益，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Karen Matthews的话“Although this wasn’t an experiment, it was a well-controlled longitudinal (纵观的) study with a racially diverse sample. It provides a strong clue that being socially integrated early in life is good for our health independent of a number of other factors such as personality and weight in childhood (虽然这不是一项实验，但它是一项控制良好的纵向研究，样本来自不同种族。它提供了一个强有力的线索，即在生命早期融入社会对我们的健康有益，而不受许多其他因素的影响，比如童年时期的个性和体重)”可知，Karen Matthews认为这一研究结果是有道理的，故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“To find out, Cundiff turned her attention to the longitudinal Pittsburgh Youth Study. Specifically, she looked into the information and facts about 267 individuals in Pittsburgh public schools(为了找到答案，Cundif将注意力转向了匹兹堡青年纵向研究。具体来说，她调查了匹兹堡公立学校267名学生的信息和事实)”以及“Analyses revealed that hoys who spent more time with their friends in childhood and adolescence had healthier blood pressure and BMI at 32(分析显示，在童年和青少年时期花更多时间与朋友在一起的hoys在32岁时血压和BMI更健康)”可知，第四段主要讲的是研究的过程和结果，故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study included only one measure of social integration and did not include specific measures of physiological processes or organic function. Cundiff notes that expanding the range of measures used in future research could help to clarify the pathways linking early peer (同龄人) relationships with physical health decades later(这项研究只包括一种社会融合衡量标准，没有包括生理过程或器质功能的具体衡量标准。Cundif指出，扩大未来研究中使用的测量范围可能有助于澄清几十年后早期同伴关系与身体健康之间的联系途径)”可知研究没有包括生理过程或器质功能的具体衡量标准，所以缺乏多维度评价是其不足之处，故选C项。

Problems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, you are not alone. There are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.
___16___
This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship.
Take their perspective.
___17___So once you can understand their position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to take their perspective and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.
Develop your own identity.
It is OK and even healthy for you to think for yourself and to have your own opinion on matters. ___18___Moreover, in gaining a new sense of independence and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves organically.
Don’t ask for their advice unless you really want it.
Sometimes problems arise between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents try to give advice in an overpowering way that makes the kids feeling uncomfortable. ___19___ However, if you are just feeling lazy to think about things on your own, you can also ask your parents.
Establish boundaries and make rules.
If you want to maintain a positive relationship with parents, but find that you always end up disagreeing, consider setting up some topics as off-limits. This may work better if you are older or no longer live with your parents. ___20___
A. In this way, you gain your own identity.

【16题详解】
根据本段内容“This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship.(这并不是说你不应该关心和爱你的父母。但是，如果你在情感上不那么依恋你的父母，你可能会更少投入到与他们的争论或分歧中。这样你就可以更容易地离开一个情况，而不会让它破坏你们的关系)”可知，本段的主旨是在情感上不那么依恋你的父母，即情感上与父母分离，故B选项“在情感上与父母分离”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“So once you can understand their position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to take their perspective and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.(所以一旦你能理解他们的立场，看到背后的原因，你可能会更愿意站在他们的角度，改善关系。接受你父母的不同。想想他们的生活可能与你的生活有哪些不同，这些不同的经历可能会如何导致你们关系中的问题)”可知，后文提到了理解父母的立场，说明要考虑对方的观点，站在他们的角度，改善关系。F选项中perspectives对应标题perspective。故F选项“通常，孩子和父母相处不好是因为他们没有考虑到对方的观点”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“It is OK and even healthy for you to think for yourself and to have your own opinion on matters.(独立思考和对事情有自己的看法是可以的，甚至是健康的)”以及后文“Moreover, in gaining a new sense of independence and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves organically.(此外，在获得独立和与父母分离的新感觉时，你可能会发现你们的关系有了有机的改善)”可知，本句承接上文说明“独立思考和对事情有自己的看法”的好处。故A选项“通过这种方式，你获得了自己的身份”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes problems arise between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents try to give advice in an overpowering way that makes the kids feeling uncomfortable.(有时，父母和孩子之间会出现问题，尤其是在青少年时期及以后，因为父母试图以一种压倒一切的方式给出建议，这让孩子感到不舒服)”可知，上文提到了父母和青少年就给出建议的方式存在的问题，可知本句主要说明解决方案：只有在你确定你真的想要他们的意见时，才去征求他们的意见。故G选项“为了解决这个问题，只有在你确定你真的想要他们的意见时，才去征求他们的意见”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据标题“Establish boundaries and make rules.(建立界限，制定规则)”以及上文“If you want to maintain a positive relationship with parents, but find that you always end up disagreeing, consider setting up some topics as off-limits. This may work better if you are older or no longer live with your parents.(如果你想和父母保持积极的关系，但发现你们总是意见不一致，那就考虑设置一些禁忌话题。如果你年纪大了或者不再和父母住在一起，这可能会更好)”可知，上文提到了设置一些禁忌话题，故本句应当是在说明制定双方都遵守的规则。故E选项“也试着制定一些你和父母都同意遵守的规则”符合语境，故选E。

第三节 课文填空(共20小题，每小题0.5分，满分10分)
Passage 1
根据课文内容，在空白处填入所缺的单词
Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. ____41____to coming to China, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America, with Chinese food____42____had been changed to suit American tastes. For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which ____43____of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red ____44____. This is probably not an authentic Chinese ____45____, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.
【答案】41. Prior
42. that##which
43. consists
44. peppers
45. recipe
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化与饮食之间的联系。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：在来中国之前，我唯一一次接触中国烹饪的经历是在美国，那里的中餐经过了改造，以适应美国人的口味。根据空格后“我唯一一次接触中国烹饪的经历是在美国”可知，此处指的是“来中国之前”；“在……之前”为prior to… 为固定短语；位于句子开头首字母大写。故填Prior。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在来中国之前，我唯一一次接触中国烹饪的经历是在美国，那里的中餐经过了改造，以适应美国人的口味。分析句子结构可知，空格处以及后面位于名词之后，修饰名词，因此为定语从句；空格处为定语从句的关系词。从句中缺少主语，修饰的名词事物，所以用that或which。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查一般现在时与主谓一致。句意：例如，美国最受欢迎的中国菜是左宗棠鸡，这道菜是用炸鸡蘸上甜酱，用红辣椒调味。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词；根据后文“fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red ____4____”可知，这道菜是将炸鸡淋上甜酱，再加上红辣椒调味，所以谓语的意思应该为“由……组成”；consist of意为“由……组成”，句子描述事实，所以用一般现在时，主语which指代的是“General Tso’s chicken”为单数，所以谓语动词用单数。故填consists。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，美国最受欢迎的中国菜是左宗棠鸡，这道菜是用炸鸡蘸上甜酱，用红辣椒调味。根据常识可知“左宗棠鸡”为湖南菜，所以此处为“用红辣椒调味”。pepper意为“辣椒”为可数名词，辣椒粉是由很多辣椒制作成的，所以用复数。故填peppers。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，这可能不是正宗的中国食谱，所以它不能告诉我们太多关于中国人的事情。根据下文“so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese”可知，这可能不是正宗的中国食谱，所以空格处需要填入“食谱”；recipe意为食谱，空格前有an，所以用单数。故填recipe。
Passage 2
根据课文内容，在空白处填入所缺单词

Priscilla and I had been classmates for several years but we never really liked each other. We had different groups of friends. Priscilla’s friends were very good at sports while my friends and I performed well in our studies. Priscilla was our school’s top athlete and was constantly praised by our teachers. I was jealous of her athletic abilities and her popularity at school. Maliciously (怀有恶意地), I thought she was just manipulating the teachers and her friends with her charm. I felt she was an insincere and shallow person. Therefore, I wanted to have nothing to do with her.
One afternoon, our class attended an adventure camp. One of the activities we participated in was rock climbing. I was very keen to learn rock climbing. We practiced first on a rock climbing wall, and once we had mastered the skills, we could go on to climb the cliff in the forest reserve. Rock climbers must work with a partner. While one person climbs, the partner must hold on tightly to the other end of the rope for safety. If the climber falls, the partner is responsible for stopping the fall.
The trainer assigned Priscilla to be my partner! I was very upset. How could I trust Priscilla She would not stop me from falling. She would probably wish that I would fall. However, there was nothing I could do because the trainer wouldn’t allow us to change partners. So I climbed and Priscilla held on to the safety rope.
While climbing, a wave of joy and confidence came over me. I cautiously made my way up the wall, caught each notch (凹槽) above tightly, and pulled myself up. Every muscle in my body was shaking from the strain of climbing but I wanted to prove to everyone that I was a better rock climber than Priscilla. Thinking about outperforming Priscilla, my focus on climbing left me as I reached for a notch that was too far from my reach. I took a risk and jumped up to grab it.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next thing I knew was that I was falling down quickly. My heart was pounding as I hit the side of the wall. My ears rang and my head spun with the sudden impact. My fingers were bleeding and I scraped (擦伤) my ankles. Fortunately, the helmet I was wearing saved me from seriously hurting myself. As I was fighting to grab hold of any notch on the wall to recover my balance, wild thoughts began flashing through my mind. I was scared that I might crash to the ground and die.
Paragraph 2:
Fortunately, Priscilla came to the rescue just in time. She securely held on to the safety rope and encouraged me to keep going. She knew that I wanted to reach the top of the wall more than anything. When I finally succeeded in my quest, she used the safety rope to lower me gently to the ground. I had been so wrong about Priscilla’s personality. I felt ashamed of my malicious thoughts of her. She was really a kind-hearted person. From that moment forward, we became best friends.
