I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
4 What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. The author was very willing to stay with Kate. B. Kate always helped the author to clean her bed.
C. The author felt proud to have such a roommate. D. The author didn’t get along very well with Kate.
5. What caused their quarrel to break out
A. The author placed her shoes under Kate’s bed. B. The author refused to listen to Kate’s advice.
C. The news of Kate’s grandma’s illness spread. D. The author was very tired of Kate at school.
6. Why did the author tidy their room silently
A. Because she realized the importance of tidiness. B. Because she would like to express her concern.
C. Because she was required by other roommates. D. Because she expected to be inspected by school.
7. What was their future life like after their argument
A. They never quarreled with each other about anything again.
B. They separated at once and never wanted to see each other.
C. They completely understood the principle of being roommates.

C
Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach!
For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks.
Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) — and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “bringing sand to the beach.”
“Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose.
To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach.
We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant.” With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing ( the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant).
8. What can be pointless to bring when going to the beach
A. A towel. B. A chair. C. A shovel. D. The sand.
9. Why are so many things mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show many activities on a beach trip. B. To show the various meaningless things.
C. To advice necessary things for a nice trip. D. To bring hope for an enjoyable family trip.
10. How to understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 5
A. Doing things too much is as bad as doing little. B. We should take measures to protect the ocean.
C. There can’t be too much killing of marine life. D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences.
11. Which saying has the opposite meaning of “pointless, useless actions”
A. Teaching a fish how to swim smoothly. B. Providing timely help to those in need.
C. Teaching eagles to fly higher and higher. D. Adding some fresh water to the sea.
D
You’ve heard the phrase “home for the holidays”, but I would like to introduce a new phrase: hygge for the holidays. A hygge holiday is all about peaceful, quiet and cozy(温暖舒适的) surroundings. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it Holiday hygge is easy and comforting. Most people are already doing at least some of these simple hygge holidays without even knowing it.
Hygge is a Danish word originally coming from an old Norwegian word meaning well-being and protection from the outside harm. It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love.
Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. Hygge really is a reflection of one aspect of Danish living, and, happily, in the last five years the concept of hygge has made its way to the US and many other countries. I mean what’s not to like about nurturing(培育)peace and quiet and coziness
Here are some more descriptive words for hygge: comfort, familiarity, friendship, laughter, and even seasonal homemade food and drinks. While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months.
Hygge is the most suitable for the November and December holiday season because it’s all about peaceful and cozy surroundings that fill you with contentment. There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season.
12. Why do Danish people choose a hygge holiday
A. To deal with cold and long winters. B. To follow the latest holiday trend.
C. To fight against nature physically. D. To spend more time with their family.
13. How does the author find hygge
A. It reflects Danish living totally. B. It is mainly about some feeling.
C. It is limited to Denmark and the US. D. It represents ancient Danish culture
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A. People do hygge in more ways. B. Hygge is preferred in summertime.
C. Hygge is still perfect for winter. D. People access hygge in certain time.
15. What might the author go on to talk about
A. Ways of hygge celebrations. B. Tips on achieving hygge.
C. Different opinions about hygge D. Benefits of bringing hygge into home.

①A Teacher’s Diary
April 14
I put Sharla Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano (火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together.
Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear!
I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊).
I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.
②A Student’s Diary
April 16
Yesterday Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project.
I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.
③The Show Time
The last workday for the project came.
“Is there a problem ” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though.
“Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.
“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”
“I see. What do you think, Tony ” Mrs. Holt waited.
“Well, I think it would have lava (岩浆) running down.”
“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt ”
Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right ”
Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”
It was the show time._______________

From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

C
Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach!
For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks.
Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) — and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “bringing sand to the beach.”
“Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose.
To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach.
We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant.” With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing ( the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant).
8. What can be pointless to bring when going to the beach
A. A towel. B. A chair. C. A shovel. D. The sand.
9. Why are so many things mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show many activities on a beach trip. B. To show the various meaningless things.
C. To advice necessary things for a nice trip. D. To bring hope for an enjoyable family trip.
10. How to understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 5
A. Doing things too much is as bad as doing little. B. We should take measures to protect the ocean.
C. There can’t be too much killing of marine life. D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences.
11. Which saying has the opposite meaning of “pointless, useless actions”
A. Teaching a fish how to swim smoothly. B. Providing timely help to those in need.
C. Teaching eagles to fly higher and higher. D. Adding some fresh water to the sea.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个英语习语“Bringing sand to the beach (把沙子带到海滩)”的用法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. (例如，沙滩巾可以让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带沙滩椅。)”以及第三段中“So, bringing sand-digging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) — and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! (因此，带上挖沙工具——比如铲子和水桶是个好主意。但是你不需要带沙子。大多数海滩已经有很多了！这就引出了我们今天的表达:“把沙子带到海滩上。”)”可推知，去沙滩带沙是徒劳的。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. (去海滩旅行，我们带几样东西，可以使旅行更愉快。例如，沙滩巾让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带一把沙滩椅。一把沙滩伞可以保护你免受强烈的阳光照射。在海里游泳真的会让你很饿。所以很多人带冷藏箱来装食物和饮料。)”可推知，提到这些物品是为一次愉快的旅行提供必要的建议。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段““Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose. (“把沙子带到海滩”描述的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。这些动作毫无用处。这意味着没有任何意义。)”以及第五段的后文“Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. (Overkill的意思是做的或拥有的比必要或有用的多。通常在使用这个表达的时候，我们会说“like”。例如，带鲜花去花店开业就像把沙子带到海滩。)”可知，做事太多和做得少一样糟糕。A. Doing things too much is as bad as doing little做事太多和做得少一样糟糕；B. We should take measures to protect the ocean我们应该采取措施保护海洋；C. There can’t be too much killing of marine life对海洋生物的捕杀再多也不为过；D. Things can’t be done based on one’s preferences做事不能凭个人喜好。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. (今天我们谈论的是毫无意义的、无用的行动。我们有一个表达方式来帮助我们做到这一点。)”以及最后一段中“We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. (我们通常用like bring sand to the beach来表示不需要带什么东西到某地。但是你也可以用不同的物体和地点来表达同样的意思。)”可知，pointless, useless actions意为“过犹不及”。A. Teaching a fish how to swim smoothly. 教一条鱼如何顺利地游泳；B. Providing timely help to those in need及时为有需要的人提供帮助；C. Teaching eagles to fly higher and higher教鹰飞得越来越高；D. Adding some fresh water to the sea给大海添加一些淡水。选项 B是其相反的表达方式。故选B。
D
You’ve heard the phrase “home for the holidays”, but I would like to introduce a new phrase: hygge for the holidays. A hygge holiday is all about peaceful, quiet and cozy(温暖舒适的) surroundings. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it Holiday hygge is easy and comforting. Most people are already doing at least some of these simple hygge holidays without even knowing it.
Hygge is a Danish word originally coming from an old Norwegian word meaning well-being and protection from the outside harm. It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love.
Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. Hygge really is a reflection of one aspect of Danish living, and, happily, in the last five years the concept of hygge has made its way to the US and many other countries. I mean what’s not to like about nurturing(培育)peace and quiet and coziness
Here are some more descriptive words for hygge: comfort, familiarity, friendship, laughter, and even seasonal homemade food and drinks. While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months.
Hygge is the most suitable for the November and December holiday season because it’s all about peaceful and cozy surroundings that fill you with contentment. There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season.
12. Why do Danish people choose a hygge holiday
A. To deal with cold and long winters. B. To follow the latest holiday trend.
C. To fight against nature physically. D. To spend more time with their family.
13. How does the author find hygge
A. It reflects Danish living totally. B. It is mainly about some feeling.
C. It is limited to Denmark and the US. D. It represents ancient Danish culture
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A. People do hygge in more ways. B. Hygge is preferred in summertime.
C. Hygge is still perfect for winter. D. People access hygge in certain time.
15. What might the author go on to talk about
A. Ways of hygge celebrations. B. Tips on achieving hygge.
C. Different opinions about hygge D. Benefits of bringing hygge into home.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种度假模式——“hygge for the holidays”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love. (众所周知，丹麦的冬天非常寒冷，而且持续时间很长。丹麦人用hygge这个概念来让自己在黑暗的冬季保持积极的心态，让他们的家充满舒适和爱。)” 可知，丹麦人选择hygge这样的度假方式是为了应对寒冷漫长的冬季。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. (Hygge对丹麦人来说是一个非常重要的词，经常用来描述他们的文化，它不一定是一件东西，你可以买到的东西，更多的是你感受到的东西。)” 可知，作者认为这种度假方式重在感觉。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months. (虽然在一年中的任何时候都可以通过hygge活动来实现hygge——和朋友一起户外烧烤，和家人在星空下看电影都是夏季hygge的好例子，但它通常与寒冷的月份联系在一起，因为它能够在黑暗的冬季提振一个人的精神。)”可知，虽然现在在一年中的任何时候都可以进行hygge活动，但作者强调的是这种度假方式仍然最适合冬季。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season. (在这个季节，你确实可以做一些事情来给家里带来节日的舒适。)”可推断出作者接下来可能会介绍一些能帮助你把hygge带回家，即获取hygge的方法。故选B。

考查非谓语动词。句意：几个世纪以来，一系列不同的王朝统治着中国，紧接着是短暂的中华民国（1912年——1949年）。分析可知，“__1____ (follow) by the short-lived Republic of China …”为状语，用非谓语表达。主语“a succession of different dynasties”与动词“follow”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填followed。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：经过漫长的内战，中国共产党于1949年宣布中国独立，成立中华人民共和国。分析可知，“China’s”为名词所有格，作名词的定语，因此所填应是名词形式。“independent”，形容词，意为“独立的”，其名词形式为“independence (独立)”。故填independence。
【38题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：1949年10月1日，在天安门广场举行了正式的胜利仪式，中国共产党领导人毛泽东在这里升起了中国第一面共产党国旗。分析可知，“____3____ official victory ceremony”为名词短语，中心词“ceremony”为可数名词，所填空应是不定冠词做限定词。空后形容词“official/ f l/”发音为元音音素开头，这里应是用“an”。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句引导词。句意：1949年10月1日，在天安门广场举行了正式的胜利仪式，中国共产党领导人毛泽东在这里升起了中国第一面共产党国旗。分析可知，“____4____ Mao Zedong, the leader of the CCP, raised China’s first Communist national flag”作之前名词“Tian’anmen Square”的非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：1949年10月2日，中华人民共和国正式宣布建国日为国庆日。分析可知，“declare sth to be…”，固定短语，意为“宣布……成为……”，此处为被动结构“be declared to be…”，意为“被宣布为……”。故填to be。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：自1950年以来，每年的10月1日都作为中国的一个伟大的全国性节日来庆祝，每年都会组织各种各样的活动来纪念这一天。分析可知，所填动词作句子的谓语动词，动词“celebrate”与主语“October 1st”之间为被动关系，同时结合时间状语“Since 1950”可知，这里应是现在完成时被动结构，且主语为第三人称单数，因此为“has been done”。故填has been celebrated。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：自1950年以来，每年的10月1日都作为中国的一个伟大的全国性节日来庆祝，每年都会组织各种各样的活动来纪念这一天。分析可知，“various (各种各样的)”之后接可数名词复数形式。故填activities。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前，中国的国庆节为期一周。分析可知，这里应是副词在句首作状语。“present”，形容词，意为“目前的，当前的”，其副词形式为“presently(现在，眼下)”，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Presently。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：中国国庆假期是中国最繁忙的旅游时段。根据空前有定冠词“the”，并结合句意可推知，这里应是用形容词最高级。“busy”，形容词，意为“繁忙的，忙碌的”，其最高级形式为“busiest”。故填busiest。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：旅游景点拥挤不堪，酒店也被订满了。分析可知，前句“Tourist attractions are crowded (旅游景点拥挤不堪)”与后句“hotels are fully booked (酒店都订满了)”之间为并列关系，所填应是并列连词“and”。故填and。

第一节(每题5分，满分25分)
阅读下面材料，按要求完成下面小题。
①A Teacher’s Diary
April 14
I put Sharla, Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano (火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together.
Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear!
I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊).
I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.
②A Student’s Diary
April 16
Yesterday Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project.
I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.
③The Show Time
The last workday for the project came.
“Is there a problem ” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though.
“Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.
“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”
“I see. What do you think, Tony ” Mrs. Holt waited.
“Well, I think it would have lava (岩浆) running down.”
“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt ”
Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right ”
Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”
It was the show time._______________

As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.

【46题详解】
考查英译汉。As a result of意为“由于”；the whole thing going downhill意为“整个事情一团糟”；we ended up making no progress意为“我们毫无进展”；the whole day意为“一天下来”。故翻译成：由于整个事情一团糟，一天下来我们一无所获/毫无进展。
