阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Top Piano Players in the World
Martha Argerich
Martha Argerich could be considered the next Beethoven, as she is one of the most outstanding pianists ever to play. Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s. Argerich was not one for the spotlight, as she often avoided public appearances such as interviews; however, her great talent was all the publicity she needed, standing out during concertos （协奏曲） and sonatas （奏鸣曲）.
Leif Ove Andsnes
Known for his appealing performances of Edvard Grieg’s works, Andsnes has won praise for his performances at some of the world’s most famous concert halls. Andsnes has certainly made his mark in Norway, as he is the founding director of Norway’s Rosendal Chamber Music Festival. Because of his unique voice and interesting approach, he was praised by The New York Times as a “pianist of authoritative elegance, power, and insight”.
Alfred Brendel
Known for his beautiful interpretations of Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and Mozart, Alfred Brendel was considered one of the greats. He played in various concertos throughout his career and became known for his interpretive coldness in recreating these works. Brendel was considered one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, as he made his mark in the classical music industry. Brendel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age.
Arthur Rubinstein
Arthur Rubinstein was certainly one of the greats. His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud. He made various trips worldwide and visited nearly every continent, where crowds met him with great praise and encouragement.
21．What does the female pianist care about more in her career
A．Skills in hosting concertos and sonatas. B．Cooperation with other musicians.
C．Close relationships with the media. D．Unique ways to interpret music.
22．Who learned music by himself or herself

23．How is Arthur Rubinstein different from the other pianists

C．He was the best musician of the 20th century. D．He got in touch with some famous composers.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds （葵花籽） as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door - to - door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready - made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
24．What lesson can we learn from the passage
A．One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B．Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C．It is good to form healthy eating habits. D．Changing your eating habits will change your life.
25．What did the writer become aware of
A．She had ever typed a report about seeds. B．She ate various snacks while watching TV.
C．She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. D．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
26．What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B．Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C．The families would get together for it. D．Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
27．The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ______.
A．acceptable B．critical C．neutral D．doubtful
C
What people say is only one aspect of good communication. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.
Body language, a common form of non - verbal communication, can support what a speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills.
Some professionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers and doctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously （下意识地）. Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise when body language is misunderstood.
Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All these can avoid communication troubles.
Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, unsuitable humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated. Healthy - minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.
28．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Speakers usually pay little attention to what they said and what words and tones they use.
B．Good communication means talking to a person effectively with right tones and speed.
C．Body language and listening skills are highly involved in successful communication.
D．The manner of communication is determined by the listener rather than the speaker.
29．According to the studies, body language ______.
A．makes up 40% of the information received from communication
B．sometimes leads people to misunderstand what others have said
C．can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing
D．can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills
30．Which of the following reactions of a listener may create difficulties in communication
A．Making a summary of what he has heard. B．Repeating the speaker’s words and ideas.
C．Showing his feeling to the speaker. D．Bringing in an unrelated topic.
31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text
A．To emphasize that communication involves more than talking.
B．To introduce different types of non - verbal communication.
C．To suggest ways to effectively communicate with others.
D．To discuss the different effects of good and poor listening skills.
D
Ecotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years. Travelers visit natural environments funding conservation efforts or promoting local economies. In many cases, ecotourism involves close interaction with wildlife.
Now, scientists have analyzed more than 100 research studies on how ecotourism affects wild animals. They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk. Therefore, they have concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.
When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard. As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans, they may become bolder in other situations. If this transfers to their interactions with predator （捕食者）, they are more likely to be injured or killed.
The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder. For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk （麋鹿） and pronghorns （叉角羚） in areas with more tourists are less watchful and spend more time eating.
Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time. “If animals become accustomed to tourists, we might create unintended consequences - affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species’ function in its community,” the researchers write.
Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication （驯养） and urbanization. Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful. Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger. The phenomena result from evolutionary changes, but also from regular interactions with humans.
Scientists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife. It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk.
32．What can we learn from the text
A．Ecotourism causes damage to the natural homes of wildlife.
B．It is easy for eco - tourists to build up trust with wild animals.
C．The effects brought by ecotourism may be harmful to the animals.
D．Wildlife interactions with humans strengthen their function in communities.
33．What does the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Shyer. B．Braver. C．Wiser D．Swifter.
34．The author mentions pronghorns in paragraph 4 as an example to show that ______.
A．wild animals become more relaxed due to evolution
B．animals’ reactions to humans vary from species to species
C．smaller animals tend to be in harmony with natural predators
D．the presence of humans reduces their awareness of potential danger
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Ecotourism Can Put Wild Animals at Risk B．Ecotourism Has Become a Popular Trend
C．Wildlife’s Reactions to Human Activities D．Latest Research Findings on Ecotourism

We all make mistakes. Sometimes, it is hard to admit them. However, there is a magic power in this world that can give us the courage to do so.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio. There was a man in town that everyone seemed to know. We all called him Bob. Bob was uneducated. It seemed that because he was good - natured and not very smart, every one teased （戏弄） him.
One day when I was sitting on the porch, he came walking by. I was about 12 years old and thought it would make me feel grown up to tease him like some adults did in the town.
He asked how I was doing. I told him that my father had lost his job, and that we were short of money. I could see my friends laughing in the background so I went on with the lie. I had him fooled so completely that every time he asked me a question, I would make the situation seem worse, and worse. I knew he made a meager （贫困的） living doing odd jobs, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didn’t know if we would have enough to eat. He replied, “You poor thing. I will pray for you.”
That night I heard the door rattle （沙沙响） softly. I thought it was the wind beating against the door. So I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later when I opened the door to go outside, I realized it wasn’t wind.

56．what 考查表语从句。句意：这就是郑州外国语中学的学生所做的事情。分析句子结构可知，空处连接表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，且宾语指物，因此用what充当引导词。故填what。

参考范文：
Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua from class 2 grade 3. President Xi said in his New Year’s Speech, “We are all running very hard. We are all dream chasers, especially the students.” So, today I am honored to be here to share my views with you.
To begin with, as the Chinese youth of the new era, we are supposed to have specific dreams. Not only can they drive us study hard but also they can help us live a better life with a good command of knowledge. Moreover, it is a strong sense of responsibility that we should have. If we possess responsibility like our great scientists Tu Youyou and Yuanlongping, we may advance bravely when we encounter difficulties in the future. Finally, we have to train ourselves to be more confident and never give up, which is the key to success.
Thank you very much for your attention.

参考范文：
On the doorstep, I found а box of food with a note beside it. Upon seeing the food, I knew who had sent it. My face burning with shame, I took the box inside with care. Packed in the box were some sandwiches, a bottle of milk and some fruit. I picked up the note, on which some words were carefully written, “Sorry, I can only get you these. Hope you like them. I will always pray for you.” The moment I finished reading the note, tears rolled down my face. How could I lie to a person with such a gentle heart I knew it was time to make up for my mistake.
The next evening, with a big apple pie made by myself, I stood at the doorstep of Bob’s house. Having gathered up my courage, I knocked on the door. Bob seemed to be a little surprised when he saw me outside. He explained that it was no big deal and that I needn’t have come to thank him. I lowered my head, apologizing to him for my silly behavior. To my surprise, he just smiled and patted me on the shoulder, saying, “It’s OK. Now shall we take a bite of this tasty apple pie ” I raised my head and nodded with tears of joy. Thanks to Bob, I have learned the magic power of kindness.

W: Dear Jane,
I’ve just seen the first snow this winter, I mean in London. Other parts of Britain, like Scotland and the north of England, have already had some snow falls.
Do you like snow Well, I do. Snow makes me happy and excited. When it snows I love to go out for a walk and take photos. It looks beautiful when everything is covered with snow, and the view is even better from the top of a building.
However, as it is 1℃ here today, the snow won’t stay long on the ground. But I’m lucky because I have taken some photos from the roof of a friend’s house in the center of the city. In the photos you can see high buildings, but the sky looks rather foggy.
I also enjoy walking on the snow. Some people are a bit scared but I love it. Naturally you need to wear the right shoes.
Let’s hope that the snow will bring us good luck!
Yours,
Lisa

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Top Piano Players in the World
Martha Argerich
Martha Argerich could be considered the next Beethoven, as she is one of the most outstanding pianists ever to play. Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s. Argerich was not one for the spotlight, as she often avoided public appearances such as interviews; however, her great talent was all the publicity she needed, standing out during concertos （协奏曲） and sonatas （奏鸣曲）.
Leif Ove Andsnes
Known for his appealing performances of Edvard Grieg’s works, Andsnes has won praise for his performances at some of the world’s most famous concert halls. Andsnes has certainly made his mark in Norway, as he is the founding director of Norway’s Rosendal Chamber Music Festival. Because of his unique voice and interesting approach, he was praised by The New York Times as a “pianist of authoritative elegance, power, and insight”.
Alfred Brendel
Known for his beautiful interpretations of Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and Mozart, Alfred Brendel was considered one of the greats. He played in various concertos throughout his career and became known for his interpretive coldness in recreating these works. Brendel was considered one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, as he made his mark in the classical music industry. Brendel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age.
Arthur Rubinstein
Arthur Rubinstein was certainly one of the greats. His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud. He made various trips worldwide and visited nearly every continent, where crowds met him with great praise and encouragement.
21．What does the female pianist care about more in her career
A．Skills in hosting concertos and sonatas. B．Cooperation with other musicians.
C．Close relationships with the media. D．Unique ways to interpret music.
22．Who learned music by himself or herself
A．Martha Argerich. B．Leif Ove Andsnes. C．Alfred Brendel. D．Arthur Rubinstein.
23．How is Arthur Rubinstein different from the other pianists
A．He was the director of a Norwegian festival. B．He made a difference in classical music.
C．He was the best musician of the 20th century. D．He got in touch with some famous composers.
B
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds （葵花籽） as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door - to - door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready - made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
24．What lesson can we learn from the passage
A．One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B．Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C．It is good to form healthy eating habits. D．Changing your eating habits will change your life.
25．What did the writer become aware of
A．She had ever typed a report about seeds. B．She ate various snacks while watching TV.
C．She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. D．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
26．What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B．Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C．The families would get together for it. D．Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
27．The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ______.
A．acceptable B．critical C．neutral D．doubtful
C
What people say is only one aspect of good communication. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.
Body language, a common form of non - verbal communication, can support what a speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills.
Some professionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers and doctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously （下意识地）. Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise when body language is misunderstood.
Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All these can avoid communication troubles.
Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, unsuitable humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated. Healthy - minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.
28．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Speakers usually pay little attention to what they said and what words and tones they use.
B．Good communication means talking to a person effectively with right tones and speed.
C．Body language and listening skills are highly involved in successful communication.
D．The manner of communication is determined by the listener rather than the speaker.
29．According to the studies, body language ______.
A．makes up 40% of the information received from communication
B．sometimes leads people to misunderstand what others have said
C．can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing
D．can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills
30．Which of the following reactions of a listener may create difficulties in communication
A．Making a summary of what he has heard. B．Repeating the speaker’s words and ideas.
C．Showing his feeling to the speaker. D．Bringing in an unrelated topic.
31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text
A．To emphasize that communication involves more than talking.
B．To introduce different types of non - verbal communication.
C．To suggest ways to effectively communicate with others.
D．To discuss the different effects of good and poor listening skills.
D
Ecotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years. Travelers visit natural environments funding conservation efforts or promoting local economies. In many cases, ecotourism involves close interaction with wildlife.
Now, scientists have analyzed more than 100 research studies on how ecotourism affects wild animals. They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk. Therefore, they have concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals.
When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard. As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans, they may become bolder in other situations. If this transfers to their interactions with predator （捕食者）, they are more likely to be injured or killed.
The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder. For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk （麋鹿） and pronghorns （叉角羚） in areas with more tourists are less watchful and spend more time eating.
Interacting with people can cause great changes in the characteristics of various species over time. “If animals become accustomed to tourists, we might create unintended consequences - affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species’ function in its community,” the researchers write.
Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication （驯养） and urbanization. Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful. Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger. The phenomena result from evolutionary changes, but also from regular interactions with humans.
Scientists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife. It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk.
32．What can we learn from the text
A．Ecotourism causes damage to the natural homes of wildlife.
B．It is easy for eco - tourists to build up trust with wild animals.
C．The effects brought by ecotourism may be harmful to the animals.
D．Wildlife interactions with humans strengthen their function in communities.
33．What does the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Shyer. B．Braver. C．Wiser D．Swifter.
34．The author mentions pronghorns in paragraph 4 as an example to show that ______.
A．wild animals become more relaxed due to evolution
B．animals’ reactions to humans vary from species to species
C．smaller animals tend to be in harmony with natural predators
D．the presence of humans reduces their awareness of potential danger
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Ecotourism Can Put Wild Animals at Risk B．Ecotourism Has Become a Popular Trend
C．Wildlife’s Reactions to Human Activities D．Latest Research Findings on Ecotourism

In the last months of Dad’s life, my brothers and I moved him to a local nursing home nearby. I spent as much time as I could 41 him there. Cancer had damaged his body badly and was now 42 his mind.

She thanked me and gave me a 49 smile. At that moment, I felt a light shine into my soul and a sense of 50 return to my heart. I walked back out, letting the rain wash over me, and thanked all the years I had with Dad. I also knew even if Dad died, the love we shared would 51 continue.
I now still think of that 52 of loving kindness. It reminds me that while we might not be able to live every moment to the fullest, we can still 53 the moments we do have. Life is 54 for love and kindness, which go beyond even death and are ever - lasting 55 . May you fill your days with them.

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。
We all make mistakes. Sometimes, it is hard to admit them. However, there is a magic power in this world that can give us the courage to do so.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio. There was a man in town that everyone seemed to know. We all called him Bob. Bob was uneducated. It seemed that because he was good - natured and not very smart, every one teased （戏弄） him.
One day when I was sitting on the porch, he came walking by. I was about 12 years old and thought it would make me feel grown up to tease him like some adults did in the town.
He asked how I was doing. I told him that my father had lost his job, and that we were short of money. I could see my friends laughing in the background so I went on with the lie. I had him fooled so completely that every time he asked me a question, I would make the situation seem worse, and worse. I knew he made a meager （贫困的） living doing odd jobs, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didn’t know if we would have enough to eat. He replied, “You poor thing. I will pray for you.”
That night I heard the door rattle （沙沙响） softly. I thought it was the wind beating against the door. So I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later when I opened the door to go outside, I realized it wasn’t wind.

第一节
A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了四位世界顶级钢琴演奏家：Martha Argerich，Leif Ove Andsnes，Alfred Brendel和Arthur Rubinstein。
21．B 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词female可以定位到文章的Martha Argerich部分，根据其中的“Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s.”可知，相比于独自表演，Martha Argerich更喜欢和别的音乐家同台表演。所以Martha Argerich在她的职业生涯中在意的是和其他音乐家的合作。故选B。
22．C 细节理解题。根据Alfred Brendel部分中的最后一句“Brendel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age.”可知，Brendel自学音乐。故选C。
23．D 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词Arthur Rubinstein可以定位到文章的最后一部分。根据其中的“His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud.”可知，Rubinstein的职业生涯始于20世纪初，当时他开始接触到一些世界上最有影响力的作曲家。故选D。
B篇
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过中国人喜欢嗑葵花籽的事例，谈论了饮食习惯来自特定的文化。
24．B 推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段中“It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. （这不仅发生在中国。当我出国的时候，我发现人们在食物方面有各种奇怪的习惯。在丹麦，人们把腌制的红鱼放在面包上作为晚餐，不管这对他们的呼吸有多大的危害。他们认为这是一种美食，与他们的文化有关。）”可知，通过本文，我们可以了解到饮食习惯来自特定的文化。故选B。
25．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. （我意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是无意识地开始嗑葵花籽。）”可知，作者意识到了自己有嗑葵花籽的习惯。故选C。

27．A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. （在丹麦，人们把腌制的红鱼放在面包上作为晚餐，不管这对他们的呼吸有多大的危害。他们认为这是一种美食，与他们的文化有关。我认为这是一个很棒的传统。）”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包的方式是可接受的。故选A。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有效的沟通不仅仅是与人交谈，良好的倾听技巧和肢体语言对于我们有效地与他人沟通也很重要。
28．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others. （良好的倾听技巧和肢体语言对我们与他人有效沟通也很重要。）”可知，肢体语言和倾听技巧是成功沟通的关键。故选C。
29．C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The other 50% is obtained from their body language. （另外50%的信息来自他们的肢体语言。）”可知，肢体语言可以提醒倾听者说话人实际想表达的意思。故选C。
30．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, unsuitable humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions.”可知，不好的听众很少有效地沟通。他们常用的造成沟通障碍的方式包括：打岔、不恰当的幽默、评头论足、批评和谈不相干的问题。所以D项“突然引入一个无关的话题”可能造成沟通困难。故选D。
31．A 目的意图题。通读全文，结合第一段中“What people say is only one aspect of good communication. （人们说的话只是良好沟通的一个方面。）”及“Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. （有效的交流不仅仅包括和一个人交谈。）”可知，本文目的是强调交流不仅仅包括说话。故选A。

34．D 推理判断题。根据第四段“The presence of humans... For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk and pronghorns in areas with more tourists are less watchful and spend more time eating”可知，作者以麋鹿和叉角羚为例是为了说明人类的存在可能会阻止动物的天然捕食者，让动物们变得更大胆，降低它们对周边潜在危险的警惕性。故选D。
35．A 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍生态旅游会给野生动物带来一定的危险。故A项最适合作本文标题。故选A。

参考范文：
Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua from class 2 grade 3. President Xi said in his New Year’s Speech, “We are all running very hard. We are all dream chasers, especially the students.” So, today I am honored to be here to share my views with you.
To begin with, as the Chinese youth of the new era, we are supposed to have specific dreams. Not only can they drive us study hard but also they can help us live a better life with a good command of knowledge. Moreover, it is a strong sense of responsibility that we should have. If we possess responsibility like our great scientists Tu Youyou and Yuanlongping, we may advance bravely when we encounter difficulties in the future. Finally, we have to train ourselves to be more confident and never give up, which is the key to success.
Thank you very much for your attention.

参考范文：
On the doorstep, I found а box of food with a note beside it. Upon seeing the food, I knew who had sent it. My face burning with shame, I took the box inside with care. Packed in the box were some sandwiches, a bottle of milk and some fruit. I picked up the note, on which some words were carefully written, “Sorry, I can only get you these. Hope you like them. I will always pray for you.” The moment I finished reading the note, tears rolled down my face. How could I lie to a person with such a gentle heart I knew it was time to make up for my mistake.
The next evening, with a big apple pie made by myself, I stood at the doorstep of Bob’s house. Having gathered up my courage, I knocked on the door. Bob seemed to be a little surprised when he saw me outside. He explained that it was no big deal and that I needn’t have come to thank him. I lowered my head, apologizing to him for my silly behavior. To my surprise, he just smiled and patted me on the shoulder, saying, “It’s OK. Now shall we take a bite of this tasty apple pie ” I raised my head and nodded with tears of joy. Thanks to Bob, I have learned the magic power of kindness.

W: Dear Jane,
I’ve just seen the first snow this winter, I mean in London. Other parts of Britain, like Scotland and the north of England, have already had some snow falls.
Do you like snow Well, I do. Snow makes me happy and excited. When it snows I love to go out for a walk and take photos. It looks beautiful when everything is covered with snow, and the view is even better from the top of a building.
However, as it is 1℃ here today, the snow won’t stay long on the ground. But I’m lucky because I have taken some photos from the roof of a friend’s house in the center of the city. In the photos you can see high buildings, but the sky looks rather foggy.
I also enjoy walking on the snow. Some people are a bit scared but I love it. Naturally you need to wear the right shoes.
Let’s hope that the snow will bring us good luck!
Yours,
Lisa
