I grew up in a house with an unusual design feature.The floor of part of the house was made of pieces of chalkboards that my father gathered from the local high school when it was repaired.He added a second large piece on the wall,too.
The result was that we always had a place to write notes,draw pictures,do quick calculations,and keep an ongoing grocery list to which anyone could contribute.The wall chalkboard was used for important notes,while the floor was most handy for messages that were meant to catch someone's eye the moment they came in the house,things like "I've run out to the store,back in 30 minutes" or "Please start dinner at 5:30".
When I was young,I thought that every house would have a large writing area,but then I moved away and realized that wasn't the case.For years,especially since having kids,I've tried to keep information organized.Though my Moleskine paper planner has given some semblance (表象) of order to my life,it doesn't make up for a good chalkboard.
But now things have changed.I'm pleased to say that a proper chalkboard has finally been fixed in my kitchen—something that should have happened years ago!My dad recently came for a visit and brought a piece of slate (石板) that fits the wall behind the door,adding a board for chalk.
All of a sudden we have an obvious place to go to store information where all family members can see it,a place where important thoughts can be written down.
I think every house should have a proper-sized chalkboard — a real slate one,if you can find it.It's a game-changer,a family unifier,and an effective organizer.I may not have a chalkboard floor,but once again I have a chalkboard wall,and now my home feels complete.
4.What developed the author's love for houses with a chalkboard? ______
A. His father's expectation of him. B. Usual visits to an old house.
C. The environment he grew up in. D. His habit of writing something.
5.What happened to the author after he had children? ______
A. He was too busy to relax.
B. He developed an interest in chalkboards.

A. He bought slate from a school for the author.
B. He lived together with the author all the time.
C. He got a chalkboard fixed at the author's home.
D. He had a chalkboard wall built in his own kitchen.
7.What is the benefit of having a chalkboard at home according to the author? ______
A. Making one healthier and wealthier.
B. Helping to keep the family life in order.
C. Increasing one's sense of belonging.
D. Developing children's interest in learning.

For some experienced Chinese travelers who have visited many destinations at home and abroad,their focus has changed toward exploring the less traveled domestic road and sharing their stories online.
Tuotuo and Susu are known for their first-person video blogs about less visited destinations in China.The couple's short videos attract over 1.66 million followers on Sina Weibo,many of whom are youngsters with an urge to travel.
The couple has traveled to quaint villages where tourists seldom visit.For example,they visited Laozhai village in Lingshan county,Guilin,Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区).The ancient Yao ethnic group village only has about 200 residents (居民) in 48 households.
During their travels,Tuotuo and Susu dine and rub shoulders with the locals and enjoy rural life. "These travels allow us to meet many interesting Chinese people and experience their unique lifestyles," said 33-year-old Tuotuo.
However,the couple's travels aren't always without challenges.For example,when they visited a cattle-farming family in Yangdong village,Liping county,Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous region in Guizhou,they had to drive on a winding road and a bumpy mud path,but the wonderful view of fields proved to be worthwhile.
"It's like a Land of Peach Blossom in modern society.Their material life may not be as good as those in big cities,but they lead a life of ease and comfort," Tuotuo said.
"Rather than common scenic areas,frequent visitors prefer in-depth travel and are interested in the local lifestyles and local people.For them,tourism has become a kind of lifestyle,and lifestyle has also become an essential part of tourism," said Liu Simin,vice president of tourism at the Beijing-based Chinese Society for Future Studies.
8.Where can we probably learn about Tuotuo's traveling video blogs? ______
A. From the advertisement. B. From the Internet.
C. From the travel brochure. D. From the textbook.
9.Which of the following can best explain the underlined word "quaint" in paragraph 3? ______
A. Old-fashioned and unusual. B. Newly-built and wonderful.
C. Well-known and modern. D. Long-standing and wealthy.
10.What can be learned about Tuotuo and Susu from the text? ______
A. They will probably live in the country.
B. They hate good material life in big cities.
C. They are deeply attracted by local lifestyles.
D. They are more interested in traveling abroad.
11.What is the main idea of paragraph 5? ______
A. The couple's travels are always challenging.
B. The scenery in the country is quite impressive.
C. The conditions in Yangdong village are very poor.
D. Difficulties on the way won't discourage the couple.
D
Students at St.Stanislaus High School in Mississippi are among the volunteers along US coasts raising oysters (牡蛎) to help restore,or repair weakened reefs (礁).Oyster reefs are an important part of coastal environments.Each oyster cleans 95 to 190 liters of water a day.The reefs provide living space for shrimp,crabs and fish.They also protect coastlines.In the states of Maryland,Virginia,Mississippi,and Alabama,now there are more than 1,000 oyster gardens.Most of them are in wire cages hanging from private ports.
Colin Wood,one student looking after the St.Stanislaus garden,said he was excited by the hands-on work. "I didn't realize oysters had a big influence on the environment.And 50,000 to 55,000 adult oysters grown here each year go to reefs in Mobile Bay," he said.
In the 1950s,an average of 37,400 tons of oysters were taken yearly from partly salty waters in the US.But US oyster harvests fell sharply in the 1990s.Data showed the cause of the drop could be overharvesting,pollution,pests and other problems.Then oyster gardening started.
Oyster gardening uses many of the same methods as farming.Farmers around the country grow oysters near the surface of water.Oysters develop much faster where the water holds more food they eat and enemies can be more easily removed.But the oysters are not being grown to be eaten.Oyster gardens get pulled from the water every seven to ten days.The time out of the water is used to clear out small animals,keep oysters from growing through the wires,and dry and clean off plant-life growing on the wires.
Bob Stokes,the director of the Galveston Bay Foundation in Texas,says, "Oyster gardening is as much about education as it is restoration."
12.How does Colin Wood feel about his work? ______
A. Simple. B. Tiring. C. Creative. D. Meaningful.
13.What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 3? ______
A. The use of oyster gardening.
B. The influence of oyster harvests falling.
C. The reason for starting oyster gardening.
D. The problems oyster gardening is facing.
14.Why should oyster gardens be pulled from the water regularly? ______
A. To repair the cages.
B. To pick weak oysters out.
C. To examine the water quality.
D. To keep a good environment for oysters.
15.What can be the best title for the text? ______
A. What oyster gardening is
B. Oyster reefs are becoming endangered
C. Volunteers keep oysters to restore reefs
D. Why oysters are growing popular in the US

Grandpa Cecil Rodgers has narrowly escaped a phone scam (欺骗). It all began with a telephone call…
Cecil is an elderly man from Cincinnati, Ohio, who was looking forward to spending time with his family over the holidays. They were all coming to visit him at his Elmwood Place home, including his adult grandson David. One afternoon, while napping in bed, he was awakened by the sharp ringing of his telephone.
"Who will ring me up at this time?" He wondered. Peering towards the phone, he hesitantly picked it up. From the receiver came an urgent voice. "Grandpa, this is David. I am in trouble."
Before Cecil could ask him any question, he continued, on and off, half crying,"I hit a woman's
car and she was seven months pregnant. And they charged me with drunken driving and I'm in prison..." He sobbed loudly. His voice was so broken that Cecil could hardly match it with the gentle and warm voice of his grandson. Poor David! He must be suffering! Cecil panicked immediately.
Without more detailed communication, the phone passed suddenly to another person - David's lawyer who had a deeper voice. Seemingly, he understood Cecil's anxiety and attempted to comfort him with a solution. "Now the only way to help David is to go to Wal-Mart and transfer $2,300 to another store. I would pick up the money and then use it to post David's bail(保释金)." "I am sure everything would be OK as long as the money is in place," he added.
Ultimately,he lowered his voice,"Don't tell anybody. You don't want to make your grandson look ugly in your neighborhood." The lawyer hung up even before Cecil could give an answer.
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。
Cecil was totally at a loss. _______
The lucky part of Cecil's day was when he stepped into cashier(收银员)Audrella's line in Wal-Mart._________

二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】B、A、C、D
【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据第二段Tuotuo and Susu are known for their first-person video blogs about less visited destinations in China.The couple's short videos attract over 1.66 million followers on Sina Weibo,many of whom are youngsters with an urge to travel.(陀陀和素素以第一人称视频博客出名,这些博客介绍了中国人迹罕至的景点。这对夫妇的短视频在新浪微博上吸引了超过166万粉丝,其中许多是渴望旅行的年轻人。)可知,我们可以从网上了解到陀陀的旅行视频博客。故选B。
(2)词句猜测题。根据第三段For example,they visited Laozhai village in Lingshan county,Guilin,Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区).The ancient Yao ethnic group village only has about 200 residents (居民) in 48 households.(例如,他们参观了广西壮族自治区桂林市灵山县的老寨村。这个古老的瑶族村庄只有大约200名居民,48户。)和第四段These travels allow us to meet many interesting Chinese people and experience their unique lifestyles(这些旅行让我们认识了许多有趣的中国人,体验了他们独特的生活方式)可知,此处是指古老而独特的村庄,所以quaint意为"古色古香的"。A.Old-fashioned and unusual.古老而独特的;B.Newly-built and wonderful.新建的和美妙的;C.Well-known and modern.众所周知和现代的;D.Long-standing and wealthy.悠久而富有的。故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据第四段During their travels,Tuotuo and Susu dine and rub shoulders with the locals and enjoy rural life. "These travels allow us to meet many interesting Chinese people and experience their unique lifestyles," said 33-year-old Tuotuo.(在旅途中,陀陀和素素与当地人共进晚餐,亲密接触,享受乡村生活。33岁的陀陀说:"这些旅行让我们认识了许多有趣的中国人,体验了他们独特的生活方式。")可知,陀陀和素素被当地的生活方式深深吸引。故选C。
(4)段落大意题。根据第五段第一句However,the couple's travels aren't always without challenges.(然而,这对夫妇的旅行并非总是没有挑战。)和第二句中的they had to drive on a winding road and a bumpy mud path,but the wonderful view of fields proved to be worthwhile(他们不得不在一条蜿蜒的道路和一条崎岖不平的泥泞小路上行驶,但田野的美景证明是值得的)可知,第五段主要是讲路上的困难不会使这对夫妇气馁。故选D。
这是一篇记叙文。陀陀和素素是一对旅游博主夫妇,他们的视频介绍了一些中国的人迹罕至的景点,吸引了超过166万粉丝,文章对他们的经历进行了介绍。

12~15.【答案】D、C、D、C
【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据第二段Colin Wood,one student looking after the St.Stanislaus garden,said he was excited by the hands-on work. "I didn't realize oysters had a big influence on the environment.And 50,000 to 55,000 adult oysters grown here each year go to reefs in Mobile Bay," he said.(科林 伍德是一名照看圣斯坦尼斯劳斯花园的学生,他说他对亲自动手的工作感到兴奋。"我没有意识到牡蛎对环境有这么大的影响。每年在这里生长的5万到5.5万只成年牡蛎会流向莫比尔湾的珊瑚礁。")可知,科林 伍德觉得自己的工作很有意义。故选D。

【小题4】formed
【小题5】extremely
【小题6】to help
【小题7】natural
【小题8】growth
【小题9】out
【小题10】farming
【解析】(1)考查宾语从句引导词。句意:给他们一个中国农历,他们就会知道几天甚至几个月后的天气情况。分析可知,此处引导宾语从句,所填词在宾语从句中作宾语,且指事物,所以应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
(2)考查定语从句关系词。句意:他们遵循二十四节气,这是中国文化的重要组成部分。分析可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the 24 Solar Terms,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
(3)考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:2016年11月30日,它被联合国列入《人类非物质文化遗产名录》。分析可知,所填词为句子谓语动词,根据时间状语on Nov 30th,2016可知,句子是在叙述过去的事情,应用一般过去时,动词add和主语it(代指the 24 Solar Terms)之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语it为单数,be动词应用was。故填was added。
(4)考查过去分词。句意:它是人们通过观察太阳的年度运动及其对气候的影响而形成的一种知识体系和社会实践。分析可知,此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,动词form与其逻辑主语a knowledge system and social practice之间构成被动关系,故应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填formed。
(5)考查副词。句意:当时,大多数中国人以农业为生,所以天气变化非常重要。分析可知,此处修饰形容词important,应用副词extremely"非常"作状语。故填extremely。
(6)考查动词不定式。句意:然而,他们没有卫星、互联网或天气广播来帮助他们。分析可知,此处应用to do不定式作后置定语。故填to help。
(7)考查形容词。句意:他们还关注了其他自然变化,如温度、水和作物生长。分析可知,此处修饰名词changes,应用形容词natural"自然的"作定语。故填natural。
(8)考查不可数名词。句意:他们还关注了其他自然变化,如温度、水和作物生长。分析可知,此处作宾语,应用名词growth"生长",growth为不可数名词。故填growth。
(9)考查介词。句意:最后,他们制定了24节气来标记这些变化。根据句意可知,此处是指制定了24节气,故短语work out"制定"符合题意。故填out。
(10)考查动名词。句意:农民们把它当作天气变暖的信号,开始忙着种地。get busy(in)doing sth意为"忙于做某事",为固定搭配,所以此处应用动名词作宾语。故填farming。
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了二十四节气的由来及重要性。

(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速回读短文,抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性,语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
