A
Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
1. On which of the following can trains pass
A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
B. Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge.
D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
2. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge
A. It is a busy bridge. B. It was built in 1980.
C. It has a roof. D. It is a wooden bridge.
3. Where can you find the longest bridge over water
A. In America. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In China.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去的一个世纪里人类修建的四座有特色的桥梁。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge中“The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. (这座164.8公里长的大桥建于2011年，是京沪高速铁路的一部分。)”可知，因为丹昆特大桥是京沪高铁的一部分，由此可知，火车可以从丹昆特大桥通过。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hartland Covered Bridge中“Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.(虽然这座桥最初是没有屋顶的，但在1921年的维修期间，桥上覆盖了木制材料。)”可知，加拿大哈特兰廊桥的特别之处在于它有木制屋顶。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jiaozhou Bay Bridge中“The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.(2011年，中国新建的胶州湾大桥被吉尼斯世界纪录评为“世界上最长的水上桥梁”，此前该头衔由庞恰特雷恩湖堤道保持。)”可知，在中国你可以找到最长的水上桥梁——胶州湾大桥。故选D。
B
Kyle was a boy in my fifth grade class. When we sat across from each other, he would reach his legs and step on my foot, causing rapid pain. Eventually, my seat was moved. But Kyle’s abuse didn’t stop. His words were annoying to an eleven-year-old girl. Kyle also bullied my friend Megan. At one point she ran out of the classroom because he copied her nonstop. Despite meetings with teachers and parents, nothing changed.
Then one day, Kyle forced me into a wall and insulted (侮辱) my brother. With my teacher standing behind me, I told Kyle exactly how much he had hurt Megan and me physically and emotionally. I had tears streaming down my face, but I didn’t care. In the end, I cheered inside as Kyle quietly apologized.
Kyle’s teasing didn’t completely end, but it definitely subsided, and the final month of school went by fairly smoothly. Kyle was going to a private school the next year. I had only seen Kyle once, at a movie theater. We didn’t speak, and pretended we didn’t see each other.
Later one night as I thought about the marks he’d left on the tops of my feet, the words, and the pain, I felt no hate for him. Instead, I felt pity. This boy, who had ruined much of my fifth grade experience, had probably been going through his own issues then. He was obviously mad at the world and maybe he was simply taking that anger out on my friend and me. I felt that being angry with Kyle for what he had done was like drinking poison and expecting him to die. By holding my hate for Kyle inside, I was only hurting myself. That night, by letting go of that pain, I felt free. With forgiveness, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives.
4. What did the author do about her trouble
A. She turned to the teacher.
B. She reported it to the police.
C. She quietly accepted all this.
D. She shared it with Megan.
5. How did the author feel after Kyle apologized
A. Annoyed. B. Happy. C. Quiet. D. Frightened.
6. What does the underlined word “subsided” mean in paragraph 3
A. Increased. B. Supported. C. Reduced. D. Replaced.
7. What did the author learn from the experience
A. Never be afraid to express your true feelings.
B. Never pity those without concern for others.
C. Don’t let other people hold back your dreams.
D. Don’t take the punishment for others’ mistakes.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者读小学的时候被同学欺凌，作者勇敢地怒斥对方之后得到了他的道歉，后来作者回想起那位同学给她带来的不好的经历以及伤害时，她感悟到：我们应该学会宽恕，放下心中沉重的负担，继续自己的生活。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中“Despite meetings with teachers and parents, nothing changed.(尽管与老师和家长会面，但一切都没有改变。)”可知，作者对她遇到的麻烦向老师求助，但是没什么改变。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the end, I cheered inside as Kyle quietly apologized.(最后，当凯尔悄悄地道歉时，我在心里欢呼。)”可知，最后凯尔低声道歉了，作者内心在欢呼，由此推断作者此时感到快乐。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Kyle’s teasing didn’t completely end(凯尔的戏弄并没有完全结束)”可知，凯尔对作者的戏弄并没有完全停止，根据“but”以及语境的连贯判断，画线词的含义是“变少”符合语境。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“By holding my hate for Kyle inside, I was only hurting myself. That night, by letting go of that pain, I felt free. With forgiveness, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives.(把对凯尔的恨藏在心里，只会伤害我自己。那天晚上，通过放下痛苦，我感到了自由。有了宽恕，我们就能放下不必要的负担，真正拥有自己的生活。)”可知，作者认为，如果继续对他人心怀怨恨，只会伤害自己，学会宽恕，我们才能继续自己的生活。由此可推断，作者在自己的经历中感悟到的是：不要拿别人的错误惩罚自己。故选D项。
C
Change can be unsettling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an undeniable anxiety that accompanies seeing our lives shift. Thankfully, nature reminds us that entering a new season in our lives is nothing to fear but something to enjoy.
What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a highly profitable form of tourism in the United States. A research shows that across states in the eastern half of the country, fall foliage (叶子) tourism contributes more than $30 billion to local economies. And even though climate change has made int more difficult to predict when exactly foliage will peak, it hasn’t stopped people from trying to figure it out. Tourism leaders from the Smoky Mountains recently released their annual fall foliage prediction map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views.
Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it’s temporary. Eventually, branches will become bare, and we’ll stop taking photos for social media. And as the seasons change and we feel that familiar longing for what was, trees will once again embrace (欣然接受) their evolution.
Even when they aren’t decorated with flashy fall colors and their internal systems slow down, trees are still supporting the ecosystem. Their fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and fungi and provide the soil with nutrients the tree needs to grow. Insects take up shelter in their bark, eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest. Their strong roots stabilize the soil, preventing erosion (侵蚀) from winter snowmelt.
Right now, trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next chapter. During this time of the year, it feels like forests are just offering endless joy for free. And fall foliage is an everlasting reminder that the growth with changes is beautiful.
8. What does “leaf-peeping” refer to
A. A form of tourism where people go to see fall foliage.
B. A measure taken by tourism leaders to protect trees.
C. A research about the effects of climate change on trees.
D. A method for predicting when fall foliage will peak.
9. Why do people find fall foliage so special
A. It brings change to daily life. B. It contributes to local economy.
C. It helps preserve ecosystems. D. It lasts only for a short time.
10. What can we learn about trees in fall from paragraph 4
A They are easily damaged by bacteria. B. They stop rooting due to cold weather.
C. They continue providing shelter for wildlife. D. They play a role in reducing snowfall.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Trees Supporting the Ecosystem B. Lesson from Trees: Embracing Change
C. Fall Foliage Tourism in the US D. Climate Changes in the Season of Fall
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在美国，观赏秋叶成为了一种盈利性的旅游方式，秋天的树木给我们带来无尽的欢乐，也是成长与变化之美的永恒象征。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a highly profitable form of tourism in the United States. A research shows that across states in the eastern half of the country, fall foliage tourism contributes more than $30 billion to local economies. (在美国，现在所谓的“赏叶”已经成为一种高利润的旅游形式。一项研究表明，在美国东半部的各州，赏叶旅游为当地经济贡献了300多亿美元。)”可知，leaf-peeping指的是人们去看落叶的一种旅游方式。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it’s temporary. (也许树叶如此特别的部分原因是人们相信它是暂时的。) ”可知，人们觉得秋天的树叶如此特别是因为它只持续很短的时间。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Insects take up shelter in their bark, eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest. (昆虫躲在树皮里，最终成为其他寻找巢穴的野生动物的食物。)”可知，秋天的树虽然叶子落下了，但仍为野生动物提供食物和庇护。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段的“Change can be unsettling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an undeniable anxiety that accompanies seeing our lives shift. Thankfully, nature reminds us that entering a new season in our lives is nothing to fear but something to enjoy. (变化可能令人不安。无论是好是坏，令人兴奋还是出乎意料，看到我们的生活发生变化，总有一种不可否认的焦虑。值得庆幸的是，大自然提醒我们，进入生命的新季节没有什么可怕的，而是值得享受的。)”可知，文章介绍秋天的到来有着好的一面也有坏的一面，但不管怎样生命的新陈代谢提醒人们要用心去拥抱和接受一切，因此B项(树木带来的启示：拥抱变化)能够概括文章内容，适合作为标题，故选B。
D
What makes a word real Who has the power to make those kinds of official decisions about words Those are the questions many people have in mind. When most people say a word isn’t real, what they mean is that it doesn’t appear in a dictionary. That, of course, raises some other questions, including, who writes dictionaries
Now, dictionaries are good resources, but they are changeable. If you ask dictionary editors, what they’ll tell you is that they’re just trying to keep up with people as people change the language. They’re watching what people say and what people write and trying to figure out what’s going to stick and what’s not going to stick.
Every January, dictionary editors go to the American Dialect Society Meeting every year, where among other things, they decide on the word of the year. There are about 200 or 300 people who come. Some of them are the best known linguists in the United States. In the past, some of the winners have been “staycation” to describe a vacation spent at home and “tweet” to describe a post made on the social networking service Twitter.
So how does a word get into a dictionary It gets in because people use it and people keep using it, and dictionary editors are paying attention to people. If a community of speakers is using a word and knows what it means, it’s real. That word might be informal and that word might be a word that you think is illogical or unnecessary, but as long as people are using the word, it is real. I hope that what you can do is to find language change not annoying but fun and interesting, just the way dictionary editors do. I hope you can enjoy being part of the creativity that is continually remaking our language and keeping it alive.
12. Why do dictionaries change over time
A. Speakers keep changing language. B. Linguists often make up new words.
C. Dictionary editors change every year. D. Words in the dictionary are out of date.
13. Who has the right to decide the word of the year
A. New words inventors. B. American Officials.
C. Dictionary editors. D. Famous linguists.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards language changing
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Confused
15. Where does this passage most probably come from
A. A science fiction. B. A history book. C. A news report. D. A popular magazine.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了语言会随着人们的使用而变化，进而字典也会发生变化，并介绍了新词是如何进入字典的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now, dictionaries are good resources, but they are changeable. If you ask dictionary editors, what they’ll tell you is that they’re just trying to keep up with people as people change the language. (现在，字典是很好的资源，但是它们是多变的。如果你问词典编辑，他们会告诉你，他们只是想跟上人们改变语言的步伐。)”可知，人们语言一直在发生变化，字典的变化为了跟上人们改变语言的步伐。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Every January, dictionary editors go to the American Dialect Society Meeting every year, where among other things, they decide on the word of the year. (每年一月，词典编辑们都会参加美国方言协会年会，在那里他们会决定年度词汇。)”可知，每年的一月，字典编纂者会去美国方言协会参加年度会议，他们会决定年度词汇。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I hope that what you can do is to find language change not annoying but fun and interesting, just the way dictionary editors do. I hope you can enjoy being part of the creativity that is continually remaking our language and keeping it alive.(我希望你能做的是发现语言的变化不是烦人的，而是有趣的，就像字典编辑一样。我希望你能享受成为创造力的一部分，不断地重塑我们的语言，让它保持活力。)”可知，作者希望人们能够意识到：语言变化不是令人烦恼的而是有趣的，能享受成为创造力的一部分，不断地重塑我们的语言，让它保持活力；由此可知，作者对于语言变化的态度是积极的。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“So how does a word get into a dictionary It gets in because people use it and people keep using it, and dictionary editors are paying attention to people. If a community of speakers is using a word and knows what it means, it’s real. That word might be informal and that word might be a word that you think is illogical or unnecessary, but as long as people are using the word, it is real. (那么一个单词是如何进入字典的呢 它之所以被收录，是因为人们在使用它，而且一直在使用它，词典编辑们也在关注人们。如果一群人在使用一个词，并且知道它的意思，那么这个词就是真实的。那个词可能是非正式的，那个词可能是一个你认为不合逻辑或不必要的词，但只要人们在使用这个词，它就是真实的。)”可知，本文主要阐述了语言会随着人们的使用而变化，进而字典也会发生变化，并介绍了新词是如何进入字典的；由此可知，本文最有可能来自面向大众的通俗杂志，向人们介绍有关词典的知识。故选D。

So, what do you do Here are some tips that can step up your photography game.(问题是你不是专业摄影师。那么，你是怎么做的 这里有一些技巧可以提高你的摄影水平)”提到了你并非专业摄影师，那么你会怎么做，接下来的几段介绍了能提高摄影水平的几个技巧，可知本句与上文构成转折关系，指出想拍出不同的照片。故F选项“但是，你不会想拍和别人拍的一样的照片”符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“Before you snap (拍摄) a shot, ask yourself: What are you trying to document and why That may be as simple as saying to yourself: “I’m going to take a picture of this painting at the museum because I like the colors.” It can help you focus on what you want to remember.(在你拍照之前，问问你自己：你想要记录什么，为什么？这可能就像对自己说:“我要在博物馆给这幅画拍张照片，因为我喜欢它的颜色。”它可以帮助你专注于你想要记住的东西)”可知，设空处为小标题，起总结全段主旨的作用。通读该段内容可知，该段介绍的技巧是在拍照之前，你可以问问自己：你想记录什么？为什么？B项概括了本段主旨，适合作小标题。故B选项“拍照前要三思”符合语境，故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Professional photographers often create “shot lists”—a checklist of every photo they hope to capture, along with notes on style and composition—to ensure they get the coverage they need.

【20题详解】
根据上文“It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip.(在匆忙的旅行中很难欣赏你的照片)”说明了在匆忙的旅行中，你可能很难顾得上欣赏你的照片。下文“You’ll most likely find some surprises—a glance (一瞥) of a friend in the background or a dangling (悬挂的) flower from a tree branch.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A third-grade class knows exactly what will brighten an older neighbor’s holiday meal-and it isn’t a roast turkey. In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money, ”I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”
I wanted the children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological (神学的) ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.
Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn’t wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart (购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a “necessity” that sent them racing. “Flowers!”
“We have Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, limited money and after all, you can’t eat flowers.”“But Mrs. Sherlock, ” the group replied, looking at me eagerly, “we want flowers.”Defeated, sighed as the children put a bunch of pink roses into the cart.
An organization had given us the name and address of Maria, a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. Soon we were bouncing along a rough road to her house. We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.
My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying “Thanks”一much to the visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.
Paragraph 1
As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. Maria waved goodbye to us, then turned around and walked across the room, past the roast turkey, past the decorations, straight to the flowers. She put her face in the flowers. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips, which brightened up the whole room all of a sudden. The old lady was transformed before our eyes. She seemed to become energetic and young again, a tired face disappearing without a trace.
Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet. At that very brief moment, the children saw the power to make others’ life better by giving. They sensed that sometimes a person needs a bunch of pretty flowers on a dark November day. And they did make the right choice for what could cheer up an old lonely lady’s Thanksgiving holiday—just something simple but surprising as well as beautiful. We indeed made the idea come alive.

Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
1. On which of the following can trains pass
A Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
B. Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge.
D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
2. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge

Kyle was a boy in my fifth grade class. When we sat across from each other, he would reach his legs and step on my foot, causing rapid pain. Eventually, my seat was moved. But Kyle’s abuse didn’t stop. His words were annoying to an eleven-year-old girl. Kyle also bullied my friend Megan. At one point she ran out of the classroom because he copied her nonstop. Despite meetings with teachers and parents, nothing changed.
Then one day, Kyle forced me into a wall and insulted (侮辱) my brother. With my teacher standing behind me, I told Kyle exactly how much he had hurt Megan and me physically and emotionally. I had tears streaming down my face, but I didn’t care. In the end, I cheered inside as Kyle quietly apologized.
Kyle’s teasing didn’t completely end but it definitely subsided, and the final month of school went by fairly smoothly. Kyle was going to a private school the next year. I had only seen Kyle once, at a movie theater. We didn’t speak, and pretended we didn’t see each other.
Later one night as I thought about the marks he’d left on the tops of my feet, the words, and the pain, I felt no hate for him. Instead, I felt pity. This boy, who had ruined much of my fifth grade experience, had probably been going through his own issues then. He was obviously mad at the world and maybe he was simply taking that anger out on my friend and me. I felt that being angry with Kyle for what he had done was like drinking poison and expecting him to die. By holding my hate for Kyle inside, I was only hurting myself. That night, by letting go of that pain, I felt free. With forgiveness, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives.
4. What did the author do about her trouble
A. She turned to the teacher.
B. She reported it to the police.
C. She quietly accepted all this.
D. She shared it with Megan.
5. How did the author feel after Kyle apologized
A. Annoyed. B. Happy. C. Quiet. D. Frightened.
6. What does the underlined word “subsided” mean in paragraph 3
A. Increased. B. Supported. C. Reduced. D. Replaced.
7. What did the author learn from the experience
A. Never be afraid to express your true feelings.
B. Never pity those without concern for others.
C. Don’t let other people hold back your dreams.
D. Don’t take the punishment for others’ mistakes.
C
Change can be unsettling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an undeniable anxiety that accompanies seeing our lives shift. Thankfully, nature reminds us that entering a new season in our lives is nothing to fear but something to enjoy.
What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a highly profitable form of tourism in the United States. A research shows that across states in the eastern half of the country, fall foliage (叶子) tourism contributes more than $30 billion to local economies. And even though climate change has made int more difficult to predict when exactly foliage will peak, it hasn’t stopped people from trying to figure it out. Tourism leaders from the Smoky Mountains recently released their annual fall foliage prediction map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views.
Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it’s temporary. Eventually, branches will become bare, and we’ll stop taking photos for social media. And as the seasons change and we feel that familiar longing for what was, trees will once again embrace (欣然接受) their evolution.
Even when they aren’t decorated with flashy fall colors and their internal systems slow down, trees are still supporting the ecosystem. Their fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and fungi and provide the soil with nutrients the tree needs to grow. Insects take up shelter in their bark, eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest. Their strong roots stabilize the soil, preventing erosion (侵蚀) from winter snowmelt.
Right now, trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next chapter. During this time of the year, it feels like forests are just offering endless joy for free. And fall foliage is an everlasting reminder that the growth with changes is beautiful.
8. What does “leaf-peeping” refer to
A. A form of tourism where people go to see fall foliage.
B. A measure taken by tourism leaders to protect trees.
C. A research about the effects of climate change on trees.
D. A method for predicting when fall foliage will peak.
9. Why do people find fall foliage so special
A. It brings change to daily life. B. It contributes to local economy.
C. It helps preserve ecosystems. D. It lasts only for a short time.
10. What can we learn about trees in fall from paragraph 4
A. They are easily damaged by bacteria. B. They stop rooting due to cold weather.
C. They continue providing shelter for wildlife. D. They play a role in reducing snowfall.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Trees Supporting the Ecosystem B. Lesson from Trees: Embracing Change
C. Fall Foliage Tourism in the US D. Climate Changes in the Season of Fall
D
What makes a word real Who has the power to make those kinds of official decisions about words Those are the questions many people have in mind. When most people say a word isn’t real, what they mean is that it doesn’t appear in a dictionary. That, of course, raises some other questions, including, who writes dictionaries
Now, dictionaries are good resources, but they are changeable. If you ask dictionary editors, what they’ll tell you is that they’re just trying to keep up with people as people change the language. They’re watching what people say and what people write and trying to figure out what’s going to stick and what’s not going to stick.
Every January, dictionary editors go to the American Dialect Society Meeting every year, where among other things, they decide on the word of the year. There are about 200 or 300 people who come. Some of them are the best known linguists in the United States. In the past, some of the winners have been “staycation” to describe a vacation spent at home and “tweet” to describe a post made on the social networking service Twitter.
So how does a word get into a dictionary It gets in because people use it and people keep using it, and dictionary editors are paying attention to people. If a community of speakers is using a word and knows what it means, it’s real. That word might be informal and that word might be a word that you think is illogical or unnecessary, but as long as people are using the word, it is real. I hope that what you can do is to find language change not annoying but fun and interesting, just the way dictionary editors do.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A third-grade class knows exactly what will brighten an older neighbor’s holiday meal-and it isn’t a roast turkey. In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money, ”I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”
I wanted the children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological (神学的) ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.
Early in Thanksgiving week the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn’t wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart (购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a “necessity” that sent them racing. “Flowers!”
“We have Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, limited money and after all, you can’t eat flowers.”“But Mrs. Sherlock, ” the group replied, looking at me eagerly, “we want flowers.”Defeated, sighed as the children put a bunch of pink roses into the cart.
An organization had given us the name and address of Maria, a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. Soon we were bouncing along a rough road to her house. We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.
My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying “Thanks”一much to the visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.
Paragraph 1
As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window.

Paragraph 2
Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet.
