Isabella was born in Liverpool, the UK. Several years ago, she opened a restaurant in London. Her restaurant is known for its delicious food and good service, making it one of the most popular restaurants in the area. She believes in honesty and runs her restaurant with it. She firmly believes that there are honest people everywhere.
One busy weekend, there were so many customers that she and the employees were very busy. Luckily, everything was going well. At noon, a young couple came and told a waiter that they’d like to be served quickly. After the fast but delightful meal, the couple gave their credit card over to pay the bill. They were told to pay 20. To their surprise, they could only pay in cash. Obviously, the couple became anxious. When they were about to say something, the waiter was asked to another table to take orders.
When the waiter came back to the table again, he found the couple had gone missing without paying for their food. Learning this, Isabella was quite angry. It was the first time that she had met this. She couldn’t understand their behaviour and even began to doubt her belief. However, Isabella still hoped that the couple would return. Nothing happened.
Ten days later, Isabella was surprised to receive a package. In the package were 30 and a box of chocolates, with a note saying, “We sincerely apologize for our leaving without paying for the food that day, because we didn’t have cash and had to catch the train. We sent the money and the gift to you, expecting your forgiveness!” Surprised but moved, Isabella smiled.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Isabella经营了一家餐厅，并坚信诚实是经营餐厅的关键。在一个繁忙的周末，一对年轻夫妇在餐厅用餐后未付款就离开，让Isabella非常生气和失望。然而，十天后，这对夫妇通过邮寄的方式向Isabella道歉并支付了餐费，还附上了一份礼物。这个事件让Isabella感到惊讶和感动。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Her restaurant is known for its delicious food and good service, making it one of the most popular restaurants in the area. She believes in honesty and runs her restaurant with it. She firmly believes that there are honest people everywhere.(她的餐馆以美味的食物和良好的服务而闻名，是该地区最受欢迎的餐馆之一。她相信诚实，并以此经营她的餐馆。她坚信到处都有诚实的人)”可知，Isabella的餐馆非常受欢迎，说明她的事业很成功；而她本人则非常诚实。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They were told to pay 20. To their surprise, they could only pay in cash. Obviously, the couple became anxious. When they were about to say something, the waiter was asked to another table to take orders.(他们被要求支付20英镑。令他们吃惊的是，他们只能用现金支付。显然，这对夫妇变得焦虑起来。当他们正要说点什么的时候，服务员被叫到另一张桌子去点菜)”可判断，当这对夫妇被要求用现金支付时，他们变得焦虑起来，由此可判断现金支付对他们而言有困难。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When the waiter came back to the table again, he found the couple had gone missing without paying for their food. Learning this, Isabella was quite angry. It was the first time that she had met this. She couldn’t understand their behaviour and even began to doubt her belief.(当服务员再次回到餐桌时，他发现这对夫妇没有付钱就不见了。Isabella知道了这件事，非常生气。这是她第一次遇到这种情况。她无法理解他们的行为，甚至开始怀疑自己的信仰)”可知，Isabella之所以开始怀疑自己的信仰是因为这对夫妇没有付钱就离开了，所以她以为这对夫妇太不诚实。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据前文可知，Isabella以为这对夫妇不诚实，不付钱就离开了，由此开始怀疑自己的信仰。而根据最后一段“Ten days later, Isabella was surprised to receive a package. In the package were 30 and a box of chocolates, with a note saying, “We sincerely apologize for our leaving without paying for the food that day, because we didn’t have cash and had to catch the train. We sent the money and the gift to you, expecting your forgiveness!” Surprised but moved, Isabella smiled.(十天后，Isabella惊讶地收到了一个包裹。包裹里有30英镑和一盒巧克力，并附有一张纸条，上面写着：“我们为那天没付餐费就走而道歉，因为我们没带现金，还要赶火车。我们把钱和礼物送给了你，希望你能原谅我们！”Isabella既惊讶又感动，笑了)”可知，原来那对夫妇是因为太着急赶火车，而且身边没有现金才离开的。如今，误会解除，由此可推断，Isabella得知真相后，会依旧坚持自己的信仰。故选A。
C
A lot is unknown about how babies begin to connect names with objects in their environments. A study by Indiana University researchers offered a fresh view on how babies get this in human development. Before they can speak, babies between the ages of 7 and 11 months have this ability.
To carry out their study, Smith and Clerkin made a list of objects and the heard names of objects as they appeared in babies’ daily lives. They then considered how these experiences influence babies’ memory (记忆) systems.
“When scientists think about how babies manage to learn words, they’ve traditionally focused on the development of babies’ learning abilities,” Smith said. “This is not wrong. But if you pay more attention to the babies’ learning environments, you see their learning tasks and abilities differently. We need to study these learning environments because that will tell us more about what children need to learn a word.”
A full understanding of the learning environments could make researchers and doctors develop useful methods to deal with children who are considered “late talkers”. The environments can be changed to help children who are learning a language more slowly than others.
“The idea is that over long periods of time, the memory for visual objects is being built up slowly in the brain,” Clerkin said. “When a word is spoken at a certain moment and the related memory is reactivated (激活) to the name, the babies can make a connection rapidly.”
8. What can nine-month-old babies do according to the text
A. Have short talks with their parents. B. Show some surprising body movements.
C Match names with their familiar objects. D. Discover the differences between two objects.
9. What can we learn from what Smith said
A. Language skills are difficult to improve for babies.
B. Parents play a key role in children’s language learning.
C. Babies have special ways to adapt to a new environment.
D. Learning environments are important to early word learning.
10. What influence may this study have on “late talkers”
A. They may receive helpful treatment. B. They will learn how to make friends.
C. They will focus more on listening skills. D. They may get more attention from their parents.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Proper Parenting Skills B. The Roots of Language
C Babies’ Fast Physical Development D. A New View of Early Word Learning
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现7到11个月大的婴儿在会说话之前就开始将名字与环境中的物体联系起来，研究人员指出学习环境对早期单词学习很重要。同时这项研究可以让“晚说话者”得到有益的治疗。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A lot is unknown about how babies begin to connect names with objects in their environments. A study by Indiana University researchers offered a fresh view on how babies get this in human development. Before they can speak, babies between the ages of 7 and 11months have this ability.(关于婴儿是如何开始将名字与环境中的物体联系起来的，我们还不清楚。印第安纳大学研究人员的一项研究为婴儿在人类发展过程中如何获得这种能力提供了新的视角。7到11个月大的婴儿在会说话之前就有这种能力了)”可知，9个月大的婴儿能把名字和他们熟悉的物品配对。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But if you pay more attention to the babies’ learning environments, you see their learning tasks and abilities differently. We need to study these learning environments because that will tell us more about what children need to learn a word.(但如果你更关注婴儿的学习环境，你会看到他们的学习任务和能力不同。我们需要研究这些学习环境，因为这将告诉我们更多关于孩子们学习一个单词需要什么)”可知，学习环境对早期单词学习很重要。故选D。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A full understanding of the learning environments could make researchers and doctors develop useful methods to deal with children who are considered “late talkers”. The environments can be changed to help children who are learning a language more slowly than others.(对学习环境的充分了解可以使研究人员和医生开发出有用的方法来处理那些被认为是“说话晚”的孩子。可以改变环境来帮助那些学习语言比别人慢的孩子)”可知，这项研究对“晚说话者”的影响是他们可能会得到有益的治疗。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A lot is unknown about how babies begin to connect names with objects in their environments. A study by Indiana University researchers offered a fresh view on how babies get this in human development.(关于婴儿是如何开始将名字与环境中的物体联系起来的，我们还不清楚。印第安纳大学研究人员的一项研究为婴儿在人类发展过程中如何获得这种能力提供了新的视角)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现7到11个月大的婴儿在会说话之前就开始将名字与环境中的物体联系起来，研究人员指出学习环境对早期单词学习很重要。同时这项研究可以让“晚说话者”得到有益的治疗。由此可知，D选项“早期词汇学习的新观点”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Young children are always growing bigger than their shoes, which create s a lot of waste. However, a company, Woolybubs, came up with new shoes that don’t get thrown away when they no longer fit the owners; they get dissolved (溶解) instead.
Woolybubs was created by Megan and Jesse Milliken, once a shoe designer in a famous company, who are the parents of three young children. They know firsthand how much waste a family creates. Sure, clothing and shoes can be handed down to younger children but there comes a time when they end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). So JesseMilliken and his wife started talking about changing their lives and doing something to help the planet. Therefore, Milliken left the company where he worked. Then he and his wife began to focus on one of the most wasteful parts of the clothing market — shoes.
The new shoes are actually made of 100 percent silk that is coated with a special form of plastic called PVA that is used in lots of other products. The shoes are made to last long enough to be handed down to a second child. “It took us almost a year to develop this special material,” Milliken said. The baby shoes won’t dissolve if you handwash them, or if you get caught in the rain; they only decompose if they are boiled for 40 minutes. The liquid (液体) that remains after boiling is safe.
Woolybubs also has shoes that are made from other recycled materials. When these shoes wear out, they can be sent back to the company to be recycled. The company decided to continue searching for new ways to make its products greener .“We are always looking for new solutions to reduce the environmental influence on the planet,” Milliken said.
12. What is the advantage of the new shoes
A. They are environmentally friendly.
B. They can be cleaned easily by parents.
C. They are made out of different landfill waste.
D. They are beneficial to the development of children’s feet.
13. What drove Megan and Jesse Milliken to make the new shoes
A. The difficulty of selling the shoes.
B. The harm waste does to the Earth.
C. Their family’s losses caused by shoes.
D. Their wish to satisfy their children’s needs.
14. What does the underlined word “decompose” probably mean
A. Last long. B. Break down.
C. Come into use. D. Change the colors.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A. A new topic for shoes.
B. Practical advice for shoppers.
C. Woolybubs’s environmental efforts.
D. High costs of Woolybubs’s new business.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Woolybubs公司推出的一种新型可溶解鞋子的特点、制作过程以及该公司的环保理念。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Young children are always growing bigger than their shoes, which create s a lot of waste. However, a company, Woolybubs, came up with new shoes that don’t get thrown away when they no longer fit the owners; they get dissolved(溶解) instead.(小孩子总是长得比他们的鞋子还大，这就造成了很多浪费。然而，一家名为Woolybubs的公司发明了一种新鞋，当主人不再合脚时，这种鞋不会被扔掉；它们会溶解)”可知，这种新鞋不再合脚时，可以被溶解。由此可知，这种鞋的优点是环保。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Woolybubs was created by Megan and Jesse Milliken, once a shoe designer in a famous company, who are the parents of three young children. They know firsthand how much waste a family creates. Sure, clothing and shoes can be handed down to younger children but there comes a time when they end up in a landfill(垃圾填埋场). So Jesse Milliken and his wife started talking about changing their lives and doing something to help the planet.(Woolybubs是由Megan和Jesse Milliken创立的，他们曾经是一家著名公司的鞋子设计师，他们是三个孩子的父母。他们直接知道一个家庭造成了多少浪费。当然，衣服和鞋子可以传给年幼的孩子，但总有一天它们会被扔进垃圾填埋场。因此，Jesse Milliken和他的妻子开始谈论改变他们的生活，做一些事情来帮助地球)”可知，Jesse Milliken和他的妻子开始设计新鞋是因为他们意识到这些鞋子被丢弃后给地球造成的危害。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“The baby shoes won’t dissolve if you handwash them, or if you get caught in the rain(如果你手洗，或者淋雨，婴儿鞋不会溶解)”以及下一句“The liquid(液体) that remains after boiling is safe.(沸腾后剩下的液体是安全的)”可推测，划线单词指的应该是煮沸40分钟后，鞋子才会“分解”。选项A“Last long. (持续很久)”；选项B“Break down (分解)”；选项C“Come into use (开始使用)”；选项D“Change the colors (改变颜色)”。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Woolybubs also has shoes that are made from other recycled materials. When these shoes wear out, they can be sent back to the company to be recycled. The company decided to continue searching for new ways to make its products greener .“We are always looking for new solutions to reduce the environmental influence on the planet,” Milliken said.(Woolybubs也有用其他可回收材料制成的鞋子。当这些鞋子穿坏了，它们可以被送回公司进行回收。该公司决定继续寻找新的方法使其产品更环保，“我们一直在寻找新的解决方案来减少对地球环境的影响，”Milliken说)”可知，文章最后一段主要强调了Woolybubs公司的环保努力，提到该公司会继续寻找新的方法使其产品更加环保，并致力于减少对地球的环境影响。故选C。

考查时态语态。句意：唐三彩在唐初就被卖到国外，赢得了极大的青睐。它一直以其鲜艳的色彩和令人愉悦的形状而闻名。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据后文in the early Tang dynasty可知发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为Tang Sancai，谓语用单数。故填was sold。

“I'm going to plant vegetables. That way we can have them to eat when they are ready,” Lucy replied.
“How long does that take ” asked Jack. He sometimes liked vegetables, especially carrots.
“It will take a few months before anything is ready to eat, ”Lucy answered. Jack was surprised.
“Months Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long ” Jack said. “You should just go to the store and buy them.”
“Be patient, my dear! Don't you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself ” Lucy said. “And if you come to help, it won't be too much work.”
“I’ll help you, Granny, ”offered Jack. He put down the soccer and went to look at the gardening tools Lucy had prepared.
Lucy taught Jack how to use a trowel (铲) to dig small rows for the seeds. Then, Lucy showed Jack how to place the seeds into each hole and how to cover the holes with soil. Lastly, Jack wrote the names of the vegetables on sticks that Lucy pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we planted, ”Lucy explained.
Once everything was planted, Jack filled the watering can so that Lucy could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow.

【答案】范文
Whenever Jack came to visit, he would rush into the garden to work. Eager to help the vegetables grow well, he first would go to water the plants. After watering the vegetables, he would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Lucy's instruction if necessary. Day after day, spring turned into summer and finally, the plants started revealing their colorful secrets. He was thrilled to see the tomatoes turning red, the cucumbers hiding under the green leaves and the peppers growing bigger. Not until then did he realize that Lucy was right—all he needed was patience.
Finally, Lucy said it was time for the first harvest. With baskets ready, Jack and Lucy started out on their business. Lucy took him around the garden and picked some tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Then for the following hour, they were busying making vegetable salad. Jack helped wash the dirt off the food while Lucy chopped up the vegetables. When Lucy asked Jack to try the fresh salad, he took the first bite of their harvest excitedly. Never had Jack had such tasty salad. Only then did he realize that the fruit of labor is the sweetest of all.

She firmly believes that there are honest people everywhere.
One busy weekend, there were so many customers that she and the employees were very busy. Luckily, everything was going well.

A lot is unknown about how babies begin to connect names with objects in their environments. A study by Indiana University researchers offered a fresh view on how babies get this in human development. Before they can speak, babies between the ages of 7 and 11 months have this ability.
To carry out their study, Smith and Clerkin made a list of objects and the heard names of objects as they appeared in babies’ daily lives. They then considered how these experiences influence babies’ memory (记忆) systems.
“When scientists think about how babies manage to learn words, they’ve traditionally focused on the development of babies’ learning abilities,” Smith said. “This is not wrong. But if you pay more attention to the babies’ learning environments, you see their learning tasks and abilities differently. We need to study these learning environments because that will tell us more about what children need to learn a word.”
A full understanding of the learning environments could make researchers and doctors develop useful methods to deal with children who are considered “late talkers”. The environments can be changed to help children who are learning a language more slowly than others.
“The idea is that over long periods of time, the memory for visual objects is being built up slowly in the brain,” Clerkin said. “When a word is spoken at a certain moment and the related memory is reactivated (激活) to the name, the babies can make a connection rapidly.”
8. What can nine-month-old babies do according to the text
A. Have short talks with their parents. B. Show some surprising body movements.
C. Match names with their familiar objects. D. Discover the differences between two objects.
9. What can we learn from what Smith said
A. Language skills are difficult to improve for babies.
B. Parents play a key role in children’s language learning.
C. Babies have special ways to adapt to a new environment.
D. Learning environments are important to early word learning.
10. What influence may this study have on “late talkers”
A. They may receive helpful treatment. B. They will learn how to make friends.
C. They will focus more on listening skills. D. They may get more attention from their parents.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Proper Parenting Skills B. The Roots of Language
C. Babies’ Fast Physical Development D. A New View of Early Word Learning
D
Young children are always growing bigger than their shoes, which create s a lot of waste. However, a company, Woolybubs, came up with new shoes that don’t get thrown away when they no longer fit the owners; they get dissolved (溶解) instead.
Woolybubs was created by Megan and Jesse Milliken, once a shoe designer in a famous company, who are the parents of three young children. They know firsthand how much waste a family creates. Sure, clothing and shoes can be handed down to younger children but there comes a time when they end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). So JesseMilliken and his wife started talking about changing their lives and doing something to help the planet. Therefore, Milliken left the company where he worked. Then he and his wife began to focus on one of the most wasteful parts of the clothing market — shoes.
The new shoes are actually made of 100 percent silk that is coated with a special form of plastic called PVA that is used in lots of other products. The shoes are made to last long enough to be handed down to a second child. “It took us almost a year to develop this special material,” Milliken said. The baby shoes won’t dissolve if you handwash them, or if you get caught in the rain; they only decompose if they are boiled for 40 minutes. The liquid (液体) that remains after boiling is safe.
Woolybubs also has shoes that are made from other recycled materials. When these shoes wear out, they can be sent back to the company to be recycled. The company decided to continue searching for new ways to make its products greener .“We are always looking for new solutions to reduce the environmental influence on the planet,” Milliken said.
12. What is the advantage of the new shoes
A. They are environmentally friendly.
B. They can be cleaned easily by parents.
C. They are made out of different landfill waste.
D. They are beneficial to the development of children’s feet.
13. What drove Megan and Jesse Milliken to make the new shoes
A. The difficulty of selling the shoes.
B. The harm waste does to the Earth.
C. Their family’s losses caused by shoes.
D. Their wish to satisfy their children’s needs.
14. What does the underlined word “decompose” probably mean
A. Last long. B. Break down.
C. Come into use. D. Change the colors.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A. A new topic for shoes.
B. Practical advice for shoppers.
C. Woolybubs’s environmental efforts.
D. High costs of Woolybubs’s new business.
