No doubt one of China’s greatest resources is its diverse cuisine. One of the most popular foods to be found is no doubt the street snacks that make up a large part of everyday life. “Compared with A Bite of China, which showcases chefs’ cooking processes and demonstrates delicious cuisine on air, Chinese Barbecue is more down-to-earth in depicting the people,” commented a viewer.
The new documentary series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food option that sizzles (咝咝作响) over hot coals on just about every street comer in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat shining over hot coal containers, while not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China, is an essential part of people’s night life. The pleasant smell and atmosphere surrounding the grilled (烤的) street food is “something that could entice people to fly downstairs at night,” the documentary claims.
In many Chinese eyes, barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from homemade food by mothers which is a symbol of kinship (亲切感). Barbecue is where you become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, barbecue lets people cut loose and relax with old friends and newly made friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.
On the other side of the world, in the United States, BBQ, well received by all ages, demonstrates the even more enthusiastic personality of Americans, who grill large steaks on their outdoor stoves at home and enjoy competing to see who has the better cooking skills. It’s safe to say that the world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth generated by fire.
4. What is Chinese Barbecue
A. A popular documentary.
B. A cooking class.
C. A soap opera of chefs.
D. A cuisine radio programme.
5. What makes barbecue distinguish from other food in Chinese’s view
A. Quality food.
B. Polite atmosphere.
C. Beautiful cooking style.
D. Close bonds between friends.
6. What can we know from the passage
A. A Bite of China is more down-to-earth in depicting the people.
B. Barbecued meat is not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China.
C. Food made by restaurants is a symbol of kinship.
D. BBQ is well received only by the old in the UK.
7. Why does the author mention BBQ in the United States
A. To present special American culture.
B. To show friendship between countries.
C. To indicate the popularity of BBQ.
D. To make a comparison with Chinese BBQ.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国烧烤食品的特色和吸引力。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“Compared with A Bite of China, which showcases chefs’ cooking processes and demonstrates delicious cuisine on air, Chinese Barbecue is more down-to-earth in depicting the people (与《舌尖上的中国》相比，《中国烧烤》在描绘人方面更接地气。《舌尖上的中国》展示了厨师的烹饪过程，并在直播中展示了美味佳肴。”)”可知，Chinese Barbecue是一部受欢迎的纪录片。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, barbecue lets people cut loose and relax with old friends and newly made friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship. (与公务午餐不同的是，在公务午餐期间，人们相当矜持和礼貌，烧烤让人们与老朋友和新朋友放松，留下持久的友谊印象。)”可知，在中国人看来，烧烤与其他食物的区别是朋友之间的亲密关系。故选D。
【6题详解】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“On the other side of the world, in the United States, BBQ, well received by all ages, demonstrates the even more enthusiastic personality of Americans, who grill large steaks on their outdoor stoves at home and enjoy competing to see who has the better cooking skills. (在世界的另一端，在美国，BBQ受到了所有年龄段的欢迎，它展示了美国人更热情的个性，他们在家里的户外炉灶上烤大块牛排，并喜欢比赛，看看谁的厨艺更好。)”可知，作者提到美国的BBQ是为了表示烧烤的受欢迎程度。故选C。

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it, it is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you’re saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech.

The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appeal on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word, and sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under the water.

Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.(聋哑人可以阅读和理解它们。很快，许多国家都有了聋人学校。唯一的聋人大学是华盛顿特区的加劳德特学院)”以及倒数第二段中“One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet, you can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under the water.(一个手指放在演员的嘴前意味着安静，你可以和窗户后面关着的人说话。当你和朋友去游泳的时候，你们可以在水下交谈。)”可知，婴儿，聋哑人以及平常日生活中都在使用手语，因此，手语每天都在使用，其广泛地应用于人们的生活各处。故选D。

A wireless charging room can deliver power through the air to any laptop, tablet or phone without the need for plugs or cables.
The new technology involves generating magnetic fields (磁场) over longer distances without also producing electrical fields that would prove harmful to any people or animals within the room, according to the team from the University of Tokyo.
The system, which has been tested in a single room but is still in its initial stage, can deliver up to 50 watts of power without exceeding (超过) current guidelines for human exposure to magnetic fields, the study authors explained. It could be used to charge any device with a wire coil fitted inside, similar to the system used with wireless charging pads currently in use — but without the pad. As well as removing charging cables from desks, it could allow for more devices to be fully robotized without the need for ports, plugs or cables.
To demonstrate the new system, they installed the unique wireless charging equipment in a purpose-built aluminum “test room”. They then used it to power lamps, fans and mobile phones that drew current from anywhere in the room, regardless of where furniture or people had been placed.
Researchers didn’t say what the technology might cost because it is still very early in development and “years away” from being made available to the public. “This really ups the power of computing world — you could put a computer anywhere without ever having to worry about charging or plugging in,” said study coauthor Alanson Sample from the University of Michigan. There are also medical applications, according to Sample, who said heart implants (植入) currently require a wire from the pump to run through the body and into a socket. “This could remove that,” the author said, adding it would act to reduce the risk of infection and improve patients’ quality of life by removing the wire completely.
12. What’s the advantage of the new technology according to the text
A. It has been widely used in many fields.
B. It’s environmentally friendly.
C. The cable is essential in the new technology.
D. It can only be used to charge some devices.
13. What does the underlined word “robotized” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Antique. B. Contradictory. C. Complex. D. Automatic.
14. What can we infer from this text
A. People can benefit a lot from this technology.
B. The technology takes a lot of investment.
C. All the heart problems can’t be solved without the new technology.
D. The technology never ups the power of the computing world.
15. In which column of the newspaper can you read the passage
A. Geography. B. Culture. C. Science. D. Literature.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段中划线单词上文“As well as removing charging cables from desks, it could allow for more devices (除了从桌子上取下充电电缆外，它还可以容纳更多的设备)”以及下文“without the need for ports, plugs or cables(不需要端口、插头或电线)”可知，此处上下文说的是无线自动充电，划线词的含义应为“自动化的”，D项Automatic“自动化的”与之意思相近。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are also medical applications (也有临床应用)”以及“adding it would act to reduce the risk of infection and improve patients’ quality of life by removing the wire completely(补充说，它将通过完全移除电线来降低感染风险并提高患者生活质量)”可推知，我们能从这篇文章中推断出人们可以从这项技术中受益匪浅。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。本文的主要介绍了一项通过空气供电的无线充电技术。根据文章第一段“A wireless charging room has been developed by scientists. It can deliver power through the air to any laptop, tablet or phone without the need for plugs or cables. (科学家开发了一种无线充电室。它可以通过空气向任何笔记本电脑、平板电脑或手机供电，而不需要插头或电缆)”可推知，你能在报纸的科学栏读到这段文章。故选C。

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。
Janiece Jenkins is a math teacher at East Orange Community Charter School, New Jersey. She had been certified in CPR (心肺复苏术) and first aid, 5 years before working here in the school. Because Janiece had never had a chance to put it into use, she almost forgot it after all those years. Recently, the school arranged for all the teachers to take a refresher course. As in the past, Janiece thought little of the first aid knowledge and she never thought she could put it into practice one day. But it happened that way.
On a hot summer afternoon, 9-year-old Robert Stonaker was preparing for his math class when he felt a rush of thirst. He reached for a bottle of water from his school bag. But the cap of the water bottle was too tight, so he struggled to remove it with his mouth. When the third grader squeezed (挤压) the bottle, the water pushed the cap down his throat and blocked his airway.
Unable to breathe, Robert got out from his seat in panic and ran over to the sink to see if he could spit the cap out himself. When that didn’t work, he ran across the room to ask Janiece for help, pointing to his throat.
The boy couldn’t talk. His face was pale, nd he was struggling to breathe. Janiece knew from the desperation on his face that he was choking and that he was in bad need of help. At the critical moment, timing is everything. Brain damage starts after approximately four minutes without oxygen.
Thanks to the refresher course, the first aid steps were fresh in Janiece’s mind. She stood behind Robert and wrapped her arms around the boy’s waist. With one hand made a fist, she pressed hard and quick into his stomach. She pulled inward and upward as she pressed as if she’s trying to lift the boy off the ground. After several rounds of pulls and presses, the cap of the water bottle popped out of his mouth. Seeing the cap on the floor, Janiece breathed a big sigh of relief.
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。
Then Janiece took Robert to the nearest hospital and telephoned Robert’s parents.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Janiece hoped her action would inspire others to get the training to help people in need.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Then Janiece took Robert to the nearest hospital and telephoned Robert’s parents. Through further examination, the doctor told them everything was OK when Robert’s parents arrived at the hospital. Robert’s parents shook Janiece’s hands and expressed their gratitude to Janiece, without her calmness, quick thinking and timely help, things would have been unimaginable. Robert said that Ms. Jenkins was his new favorite superhero. Janiece felt incredibly thankful for her CPR and first aid training and for her ability to help a student in need.
Janiece hoped her action would inspire others to get the training to help people in need. She began teaching people about CPR and first aid, and created classes about it. She said that people were always thinking that there was somebody more responsible. For example, there was a nurse. But there were also cases where there was no one there. If she weren’t certified, this could have gone the other way. Therefore, she hoped more people could take part in and get the training to help people in need.

No doubt one of China’s greatest resources is its diverse cuisine. One of the most popular foods to be found is no doubt the street snacks that make up a large part of everyday life. “Compared with A Bite of China, which showcases chefs’ cooking processes and demonstrates delicious cuisine on air, Chinese Barbecue is more down-to-earth in depicting the people,” commented a viewer.
The new documentary series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food option that sizzles (咝咝作响) over hot coals on just about every street comer in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat shining over hot coal containers, while not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China, is an essential part of people’s night life. The pleasant smell and atmosphere surrounding the grilled (烤的) street food is “something that could entice people to fly downstairs at night,” the documentary claims.
In many Chinese eyes, barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from homemade food by mothers which is a symbol of kinship (亲切感). Barbecue is where you become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, barbecue lets people cut loose and relax with old friends and newly made friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.
On the other side of the world, in the United States, BBQ, well received by all ages, demonstrates the even more enthusiastic personality of Americans, who grill large steaks on their outdoor stoves at home and enjoy competing to see who has the better cooking skills. It’s safe to say that the world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth generated by fire.
4 What is Chinese Barbecue
A. A popular documentary.
B. A cooking class.
C. A soap opera of chefs.
D. A cuisine radio programme.
5. What makes barbecue distinguish from other food in Chinese’s view
A. Quality food.
B. Polite atmosphere.
C. Beautiful cooking style.
D. Close bonds between friends.
6. What can we know from the passage
A. A Bite of China is more down-to-earth in depicting the people.
B. Barbecued meat is not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China.
C. Food made by restaurants is a symbol of kinship.
D. BBQ is well received only by the old in the UK.
7. Why does the author mention BBQ in the United States
A. To present special American culture.
B. To show friendship between countries.
C. To indicate the popularity of BBQ.
D. To make a comparison with Chinese BBQ.
C
There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it, it is sign language.

The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appeal on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word, and sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.

The new technology involves generating magnetic fields (磁场) over longer distances without also producing electrical fields that would prove harmful to any people or animals within the room, according to the team from the University of Tokyo.
The system, which has been tested in a single room but is still in its initial stage, can deliver up to 50 watts of power without exceeding (超过) current guidelines for human exposure to magnetic fields, the study authors explained. It could be used to charge any device with a wire coil fitted inside, similar to the system used with wireless charging pads currently in use — but without the pad. As well as removing charging cables from desks, it could allow for more devices to be fully robotized without the need for ports, plugs or cables.
To demonstrate the new system, they installed the unique wireless charging equipment in a purpose-built aluminum “test room”. They then used it to power lamps, fans and mobile phones that drew current from anywhere in the room, regardless of where furniture or people had been placed.
Researchers didn’t say what the technology might cost because it is still very early in development and “years away” from being made available to the public. “This really ups the power of computing world — you could put a computer anywhere without ever having to worry about charging or plugging in,” said study coauthor Alanson Sample from the University of Michigan. There are also medical applications, according to Sample, who said heart implants (植入) currently require a wire from the pump to run through the body and into a socket. “This could remove that,” the author said, adding it would act to reduce the risk of infection and improve patients’ quality of life by removing the wire completely.

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。
Janiece Jenkins is a math teacher at East Orange Community Charter School, New Jersey. She had been certified in CPR (心肺复苏术) and first aid, 5 years before working here in the school. Because Janiece had never had a chance to put it into use, she almost forgot it after all those years. Recently, the school arranged for all the teachers to take a refresher course. As in the past, Janiece thought little of the first aid knowledge and she never thought she could put it into practice one day. But it happened that way.
On a hot summer afternoon, 9-year-old Robert Stonaker was preparing for his math class when he felt a rush of thirst. He reached for a bottle of water from his school bag. But the cap of the water bottle was too tight, so he struggled to remove it with his mouth. When the third grader squeezed (挤压) the bottle, the water pushed the cap down his throat and blocked his airway.
Unable to breathe, Robert got out from his seat in panic and ran over to the sink to see if he could spit the cap out himself. When that didn’t work, he ran across the room to ask Janiece for help, pointing to his throat.
The boy couldn’t talk. His face was pale, nd he was struggling to breathe. Janiece knew from the desperation on his face that he was choking and that he was in bad need of help. At the critical moment, timing is everything. Brain damage starts after approximately four minutes without oxygen.
Thanks to the refresher course, the first aid steps were fresh in Janiece’s mind. She stood behind Robert and wrapped her arms around the boy’s waist. With one hand made a fist, she pressed hard and quick into his stomach. She pulled inward and upward as she pressed as if she’s trying to lift the boy off the ground. After several rounds of pulls and presses, the cap of the water bottle popped out of his mouth. Seeing the cap on the floor, Janiece breathed a big sigh of relief.
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。
Then Janiece took Robert to the nearest hospital and telephoned Robert’s parents.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Janiece hoped her action would inspire others to get the training to help people in need.
