This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today. All I wanted to do was go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things. Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I.
But today I had to give up our evening. I knew how tired I was, so I just said, “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.”
He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he actually meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay”. And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. And his eyes lighted up. After I put the soup on the desk and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together ” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword—together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
4. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. Bryan’s grandmother was tired.
B. Bryan’s mom drank a bowl of soup.
C. Bryan came with his father that day.
D. Bryan played with his parents that day.
5. Why did the author agree to spend time with Bryan
A. She was required to do so.
B. She was not good at saying no.
C. She wanted to play games with Bryan.
D. She didn’t want to leave Bryan disappointed.
6. Which word can replace the underlined word “shadow” in paragraph 3

7 Which of the following can best describe Bryan
A. Young but loud. B. Careful and loving.
C. Noisy but curious. D. Brave and clever.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者工作回到家非常疲惫,迫切地需要休息,但是当她看到自己六岁的外孙在家里等她,渴望她的陪伴时,她还是强打精神,亲手为外孙做了热汤,随后便睡着了。懂事的外孙一直陪伴在作者身边,照顾着她,两人就这样相互陪伴在一起,就感到非常幸福。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today.”(这周比平时忙,今天我需要睡觉或休息。)和“But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week.”(但当我看到我女儿的车时,我知道这是Bryan的夜晚。自从他的父母分开以来,我一直试图让我六岁的外孙每周至少和我呆上几个小时。)可知,作者是Bryan的外祖母,她当天非常疲惫。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. ”(我看到了布莱恩眼中的阴影,别的东西也在改变,也许他以为我不会再让他来了—— 今晚不会,下周不会,永远不会。最后,我同意了。)可知,Bryan以为作者不愿意让他再来自己家中,所以感到非常伤心、失望,作者不想让自己的外孙失望,所以同意他留下来。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever.”(也许他以为我不会再让他来了 —— 今晚不会,下周不会,永远不会。)可知,Bryan以为自己的外祖母不希望他再来自己家中,以为她不再爱他,所以心里感到伤心、难过,作者在他眼中看到了这种情绪,故“shadow”表示“难过”。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs,”(当我醒来的时候,我的腿上盖着一件外套,)可知,Bryan怕外祖母着凉,所以给她盖上了外套,可见他非常细心;结合“When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said.”(当他发现我醒了,他跑过来给了我一个大大的拥抱。“我爱你,外婆,”他说。)可知,Bryan非常爱自己的外祖母,是一个有爱心的孩子。故选B。
C
These days, ice is easy to get. You can walk to your ice maker and have ice fall into your glass. Hundreds or thousands of years ago, ice wasn’t this easy to be made or to get. In the past, it involved harvesting ice from frozen bodies of water.
People throughout history have known the value of ice. People in ancient China would wait till the winter to make ice blocks from frozen rivers and then they would use ice blocks to keep food cool through warmer months. In ancient cultures, ice was luxury (奢侈的). Royalty would ship ice and then use it for juice drinks and other treats. In an age where there were no ice makers, ice was truly short-in-time and a sign of power.
Sometimes its translucence (半透明) made it perfect for decorative purposes. Centuries ago, some Chinese villagers would freeze buckets and water, cut a hole in the top and pour out the unfrozen water. Then they’d put a candle into the center. And that are what we call ice lanterns (冰灯) now.
And there are now a lot of big events around the world, some of which result in entire multi-story buildings made from ice, with colored lights that make them look like a frozen fairy tale land.
In 1990, Alaska became the host of the annual World Ice Art Championships, which is now a month-long event that attracts dozens of teams and tens of thousands of visitors. Canada is home to several large ice-based events, including the Ice Magic Festival near Lake Louise and the Deep Freeze Festival in Edmonton.
But the biggest and most mind-blowing event is the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China. When complete, the grounds turn into a real ice world, full of huge buildings and beautiful art with the best visual effect. The village includes many features like the Great Wall of China and the Egyptian pyramids, all quite at home in this city that has a lower temperature in January.
8. What is the function of paragraph 1
A. To bring in the topic. B. To show the main idea.
C. To give the background. D. To introduce the way of making ice.
9. Why did the author say the ice was luxury
A. The ice would only be used in winters. B. The ice was transported by ships.
C. The ice would be made for juice drinks. D. The ice was hard to get in warmer months.
10. What can we learn about the festivals in the last two paragraphs
A. They are not big enough to be host. B. They are only to be seen in Canada.
C. They are all festivals about ice. D. They are likely to happen in summer.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Usage of Ice B. The Icy Games’ Host
C. The Ice Was Not Cheap in the Past D. The Art and Value of Ice
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冰在过去的重要价值以及如今一些关于冰的节日活动。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“These days, ice is easy to get. You can walk to your ice maker and have ice fall into your glass. Hundreds or thousands of years ago, ice wasn’t this easy to be made or to get. In the past, it involved harvesting ice from frozen bodies of water.(如今,冰很容易弄到。你可以走到制冰机前,让冰块掉到你的杯子里。数百或数千年前,冰不是这么容易制造或获得的。在过去,它涉及到从冰冻的水体中收集冰)”结合下文讲述了有关冰的节日可推知,第1段的功能是引出话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“People in ancient China would wait till the winter to make ice blocks from frozen rivers and then they would use ice blocks to keep food cool through warmer months. In ancient cultures, ice was luxury (奢侈的). Royalty would ship ice and then use it for juice drinks and other treats. In an age where there were no ice makers, ice was truly short-in-time and a sign of power.(在中国古代,人们会等到冬天用结冰的河流制作冰块,然后在温暖的月份里用冰块来保持食物的凉爽。在古代文化中,冰是奢侈品。皇室会将冰块运来,然后用它来制作果汁饮料和其他美食。在那个没有制冰机的年代,冰确实是短暂的,是力量的象征)”可知,作者说冰是奢侈品是因为在温暖的月份很难得到冰。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In 1990, Alaska became the host of the annual World Ice Art Championships, which is now a month-long event that attracts dozens of teams and tens of thousands of visitors. Canada is home to several large ice-based events, including the Ice Magic Festival near Lake Louise and the Deep Freeze Festival in Edmonton.(1990年,阿拉斯加成为一年一度的世界冰上艺术锦标赛的举办地,现在这是一个为期一个月的活动,吸引了数十支队伍和数万名游客。加拿大是几个大型冰上活动的举办地,包括路易斯湖附近的冰上魔术节和埃德蒙顿的深冻节。)”以及最后一段“But the biggest and most mind-blowing event is the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China. When complete, the grounds turn into a real ice world, full of huge buildings and beautiful art with the best visual effect.(但最大、最令人兴奋的活动是在中国黑龙江省哈尔滨市举行的哈尔滨国际冰雪节。当完成后,场地变成了一个真正的冰世界,充满了巨大的建筑和美丽的艺术,具有最佳的视觉效果)”可知,最后两段的节日都是关于冰的节日。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“People throughout history have known the value of ice.(历史上的人们都知道冰的价值)”以及倒数第三段“And there are now a lot of big events around the world, some of which result in entire multi-story buildings made from ice, with colored lights that make them look like a frozen fairy tale land.(现在世界上有很多大型活动,其中一些活动会导致整个多层建筑由冰制成,彩色灯光使它们看起来像一个冰冻的童话世界)”结合文章主要介绍了冰在过去的重要价值以及如今一些关于冰的节日活动。可知,D选项“冰的艺术和价值”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
12. What are some characteristics of friendship in American culture
A. Real but changeable. B. Real and easy.
C. Close but difficult. D. Easy and slow.
13. If we stay at American friends’ homes for a long time, they’ll be ________.
A. sad B. anxious C. pleased D. impolite
14. What can we know from paragraph 3
A. Chinese express their welcome usually at homes.
B. Americans don’t like to share holidays with friends.
C. Americans can easily understand Chinese’s custom.
D. Chinese are willing to spend time with their friends.
15. Which column in the newspaper is the text probably from
A. Science. B. Culture. C. Entertainment. D. Sports.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析美国人和中国人对待友谊的不同观念和方式,介绍了美国人是如何对待朋友关系的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.”(美国人之间的友谊可以是亲密而真实的,但如果情况发生变化,友谊很快就会消失。)可知,在美国文化中,友谊是真实而易变的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.”(我们中国人理解美国人的另一个难点是,尽管他们在个人日常生活中热情地接纳我们,但如果需要很长时间,他们就不会对我们表现出礼貌。)可知,虽然美国人愿意在家中接待朋友,但是如果时间很长,他们就会表现出不礼貌。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.”(这通常与我们国家的做法相反,在我们国家,我们可能对我们的时间很慷慨。有时,作为主人,我们甚至会在半夜出现在机场去接朋友。我们可以请几天假给外国朋友当导游。)可知,中国人交友在时间方面很慷慨,愿意花时间和朋友在一起。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.”(美国是一个流动的社会。美国人之间的友谊可以是亲密而真实的,但如果情况发生变化,友谊很快就会消失。双方都不觉得受到伤害。他们可能会在一两年内互致圣诞祝福,也许会在一段时间内写几封信——然后就不再写了。如果同样的两个人再次偶然相遇,即使是多年以后,他们也会重新建立起友谊。这对我们中国人来说可能很难理解,因为我们之间的友谊发展得很慢,但可能会成为一生的感情,有时会深入到两个家庭。)以及结合下文可知,本文主要分析了中美两国在对待友谊方面的不同观念和方式,是一种文化差异,所以文章应该来自报纸的文化专栏。故选B。

● ___19___
Anxiety can be unpleasant. Yet, trying to make ourselves feel less anxious often results in greater anxiety. Giving yourself the freedom to feel this is sometimes necessary to free yourself from an impossible battle.
●Set aside a time for planning and seek to keep your worry there

【19题详解】
空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Anxiety can be unpleasant. Yet, trying to make ourselves feel less anxious often results in greater anxiety. Giving yourself the freedom to feel this is sometimes necessary to free yourself from an impossible battle.

【20题详解】
根据上文“Of course, worrying plays a purpose.(当然,担心是有目的的。)”可知,空处承接上文,说明担心的好处,B项中的“it”指代上文中的“worrying”,B项:It helps us plan for the future.(它帮助我们计划未来。)符合语境。故选B。

This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today. All I wanted to do was go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things. Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I.
But today I had to give up our evening. I knew how tired I was, so I just said, “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.”
He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he actually meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay”. And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. And his eyes lighted up. After I put the soup on the desk and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together ” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword—together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
4. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. Bryan’s grandmother was tired.
B. Bryan’s mom drank a bowl of soup.
C. Bryan came with his father that day.
D. Bryan played with his parents that day.
5. Why did the author agree to spend time with Bryan
A. She was required to do so.

These days, ice is easy to get. You can walk to your ice maker and have ice fall into your glass. Hundreds or thousands of years ago, ice wasn’t this easy to be made or to get. In the past, it involved harvesting ice from frozen bodies of water.
People throughout history have known the value of ice. People in ancient China would wait till the winter to make ice blocks from frozen rivers and then they would use ice blocks to keep food cool through warmer months. In ancient cultures, ice was luxury (奢侈的). Royalty would ship ice and then use it for juice drinks and other treats. In an age where there were no ice makers, ice was truly short-in-time and a sign of power.
Sometimes its translucence (半透明) made it perfect for decorative purposes. Centuries ago, some Chinese villagers would freeze buckets and water, cut a hole in the top and pour out the unfrozen water. Then they’d put a candle into the center. And that are what we call ice lanterns (冰灯) now.
And there are now a lot of big events around the world, some of which result in entire multi-story buildings made from ice, with colored lights that make them look like a frozen fairy tale land.
In 1990, Alaska became the host of the annual World Ice Art Championships, which is now a month-long event that attracts dozens of teams and tens of thousands of visitors. Canada is home to several large ice-based events, including the Ice Magic Festival near Lake Louise and the Deep Freeze Festival in Edmonton.
But the biggest and most mind-blowing event is the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China. When complete, the grounds turn into a real ice world, full of huge buildings and beautiful art with the best visual effect. The village includes many features like the Great Wall of China and the Egyptian pyramids, all quite at home in this city that has a lower temperature in January.
8. What is the function of paragraph 1
A. To bring in the topic. B. To show the main idea.
C. To give the background. D. To introduce the way of making ice.
9. Why did the author say the ice was luxury
A. The ice would only be used in winters. B. The ice was transported by ships.
C. The ice would be made for juice drinks. D. The ice was hard to get in warmer months.
10. What can we learn about the festivals in the last two paragraphs
A. They are not big enough to be host. B. They are only to be seen in Canada.
C. They are all festivals about ice. D. They are likely to happen in summer.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Usage of Ice B. The Icy Games’ Host

D
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
12. What are some characteristics of friendship in American culture
A. Real but changeable. B. Real and easy.
C. Close but difficult. D. Easy and slow.
13. If we stay at American friends’ homes for a long time, they’ll be ________.
A. sad B. anxious C. pleased D. impolite
14. What can we know from paragraph 3
A. Chinese express their welcome usually at homes.
B. Americans don’t like to share holidays with friends.
C. Americans can easily understand Chinese’s custom.
D. Chinese are willing to spend time with their friends.
15. Which column in the newspaper is the text probably from
A. Science. B. Culture. C. Entertainment. D. Sports.
