Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota(明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.
1. Bibimbap is ______.
A. a kind of egg cake far less sweet

A. Bibimbap Festival B. Waikiki Spam Jam
C. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival D. Potato Days Festival
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为应用文。主要介绍了四个最疯狂的美食节：韩国的石锅拌饭节、美国夏威夷州的怀基基午餐肉节、法国的贝西埃尔镇复活节彩蛋节、美国明尼苏达州的土豆节。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭，上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的，分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二个标题Waikiki Spam Jam下第二段中的The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May serving... 可知，Waikiki Spam Jam节发生在夏威夷，时间是5月份。由此可知B项符合题意，故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，四个最疯狂的美食节分别发生在Bibimbap Festival是在韩国、Waikiki Spam Jam在美国、Bessieres Easter Egg Festival在法国、Potato Days Festival在美国。分析选项可知，韩国是属于亚洲的，故想了解亚洲饮食文化，要去韩国的Bibimbap Festival，故A为正确答案。
【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。如第1小题就属于细节理解题中较为简单的细节辨认。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭，上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的，分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。
当然细节理解题有时考查并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。
B
It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
4. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015
A. To cheer himself up.
B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel.
D. To share his travelling experiences.
5. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains
A. Shocked. B. Sad.
C. Doubtful. D. Excited
6. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him

B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
7. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online

B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.”可知，布拉德·瑞安(Brad Ryan) 2015年去看望85岁的奶奶时，已经厌倦了兽医学校的学习。他希望一些高质量的家庭时间将有助于提高他的精神。由此可知，他去看望奶奶是希望提升他的精神。A（使自己振作起来）表达此意。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains”可知，当听到奶奶再也看不见大海和山脉的时候，他心碎了。由此可知，他很“伤心”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.””可知，Ryan认为，祖母每天早上醒来都为能活着而心存感激，这教会了他如何生活。和祖母在一起，Ryan不得不放慢脚步，用不同的方式看待生活，这让生活丰富了很多。由此推知，祖母使得Ryan过一种更好的生活。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
”可知，瑞安把他们所有的旅行都贴在了Facebook上。他希望更多的年轻人能抽出时间和他们的长辈在一起。“我想让年轻人知道，和祖父母在一起很酷。我们可以从长辈那里学到很多东西。”由此判断出，他把和祖母的旅行发布到网上的目的是鼓励年轻人们抽时间和长辈在一起，陪伴他们。故选C。
C
For 63 percent of Americans, coffee is one of their daily essentials. This number has been this high since 2017, according to the National Coffee Association. The rise of coffee is due to its numerous benefits like preventing DNA damage, but it works best if you do this simple thing first: Eat.
“Drinking coffee on an empty stomach, or early in the morning before you’ve had breakfast, can raise the level of cortisol (皮质醇) in your body. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, your body starts releasing cortisol. It’s a hormone (激素) that’s responsible for ruling your immune response, metabolism (新陈代谢), and stress response,” says Dr. Nikola Djordjevic, MD.
“If you pump your body with caffeine(咖啡因) when your cortisol is at its peak,” Djordjevic says, “you’ll be forcing your body to bear even more stress.” In a study that evaluated preference for caffeinated drinks among medical students, it’s shown that 25 percent of students drank coffee in the morning on an empty stomach.
These students are at an increased risk of mood changes and possible long-term effects on their health, as explained in the study. “Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can greatly encourage the acid in your stomach, producing a more acidic environment,” says Dr. Jamie Long, a licensed clinical psychologist. Thus, a full stomach is important to control the amount of stomach acid produced.
Since coffee increases your stomach acid, you’re highly likely to experience heartburn and even develop gastric ulcers (胃溃疡), Djordjevic says. Clearly, drinking coffee on an empty stomach affects physical health. But it does harm to mental health, too. The overproduction of acid in the stomach can cause mood swings, nervousness, shaking and other withdrawal symptoms (症状). “And if you’ve already had the sign of experiencing anxiety, you’re even more possible to be attacked by the effects of coffee,” says Long.
Base line: Know your limits so you can fully experience what coffee can offer, because here’s exactly what happens to your body when you drink coffee daily.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The coffee.
B. The DNA damage.
C. The stomach.
D. The National Coffee Association.
9. What does the author tell us about coffee in Paragraph 2
A. It can help to reduce our stress.
B. It will slow down our metabolism.
C. It might contain some kind of hormone.
D. It may increase the cortisol in our bodies.
10. According to Djordjevic and Long, the over- production of stomach acid can ________.
A. be good for our hearts B. make us feel less hungry
C. relieve our nervousness and anxiety D. harm our physical and mental health
11. What can be the best title for this text
A. Why so many Americans are coffee lovers.
B. What you can do to keep your stomach healthy.
C. Why you shouldn’t drink coffee on an empty stomach.
D. How you can control the level of cortisol in your body.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了空腹喝咖啡会影响身体健康，且对心理健康有害。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据所猜词所在的句子“The rise of coffee is due to its numerous benefits like preventing DNA damage, but it works best if you do this simple thing first: Eat.”（咖啡的兴起是因为它有很多好处，比如防止DNA损伤，但如果你先做一件简单的事情：吃，效果最好。）可知咖啡的兴起得益于它的诸多益处，如防止DNA损伤，但如果你先做一件简单的事情:吃，那么咖啡的效果最好。可知，it此处指代上文提到的“咖啡”。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句““Drinking coffee on an empty stomach, or early in the morning before you’ve had breakfast, can raise the level of cortisol (皮质醇) in your body.”(空腹喝咖啡，或者在早餐之前喝咖啡，都会提高体内的皮质醇水平。)可知，作者在第二段告诉了我们咖啡可能会增加我们体内的皮质醇。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中第二句““Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can greatly encourage the acid in your stomach, producing a more acidic environment,” says Dr. Jamie Long, a licensed clinical psychologist. ”(“空腹喝咖啡会极大地刺激胃里的酸性物质，产生更酸的环境，”执业临床心理学家Dr. Jamie Long说)以及倒数第二段中第一句“Since coffee increases your stomach acid, you’re highly likely to experience heartburn and even develop gastric ulcers (胃溃疡), Djordjevic says.Clearly, drinking coffee on an empty stomach affects physical health. But it does harm to mental health, too. ”(Djordjevic说，由于咖啡会增加你的胃酸，你很可能会胃灼热，其至出现胃溃疡。显然，空腹喝咖啡会影响身体健康。但它也对心理健康有害。)可知，Djordjevic和Long认为，胃酸的过度分泌会损害我们的身心健康。故选D项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段““If you pump your body with caffeine(咖啡因) when your cortisol is at its peak,” Djordjevic says, “you’ll be forcing your body to bear even more stress.” In a study that evaluated preference for caffeinated drinks among medical students, it’s shown that 25 percent of students drank coffee in the morning on an empty stomach.”(Djordjevic 说:“如果你在皮质酵达到峰值的时候给你的身体注入咖啡因，你将迫使你的身体承受更多的压力。”在一项评估医学院学生对含咖啡因饮料偏好的研究中，有25%的学生早上空腹喝咖啡)以及下文介绍了空腹喝咖啡导致胃酸过多害我们的身心健康可知，文章主要说明了空腹喝咖啡会有损健康，可知，C选项“为什么不应该空腹喝咖啡。”符合文章标题。故选C项。
D
People say money doesn’t buy happiness, but how much money you make can affect the way you experience it
While it’s true that money can’t buy happiness, having money has certain benefits. For example, money can buy you time to do things that make you happier, and giving away some of your money can make you happier as well. Now scientists from the University of California at Irvine have found that how much money you make may impact (影响) how you experience happiness; higher earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on themselves, while lower earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on connecting with other people.
Scientists used data from an existing survey of 1,519 U.S. adults between the ages of 24 to 93, to be representative of the entire U.S. population. From the survey, scientist collected the household income of each person and analyzed how each person experienced the seven emotions that are believed to cause happiness: amusement, admiration, compassion, satisfaction, enthusiasm, love, and pride.
What they found was that higher earners were associated with the happiness-related emotions of satisfaction, pride, and amusement, all of which are self-focused in nature. Lower earners were associated with more other-oriented (他人指向) happiness-related emotions: compassion, love, and admiration. There were no differences observed with enthusiasm.
As to reasons for the difference, the researchers suppose that while pride and satisfaction may reflect upper class individuals’ desire for independence, increased love and compassion may help lower class individuals form more harmonious (和谐的), interdependent bonds to help deal with their more threatening environments. In other words, the researchers are not saying that one way of getting happiness is better than another, but rather that the way one obtains happiness may be a product of existing and coping within one’s particular circumstances.
12. What do higher earners prefer to do
A. Long to connect with others.
B. Spend more money on the poor.
C. Buy things to make them happier.
D. Pay more attention to themselves.
13. Why did the scientists study the seven emotions
A. They can make people happy.
B. They can be bought with money.
C. They are the most common feelings.
D. They are results of an existing survey.
14. Which emotions do lower-income people have based on the study
A. Pride and satisfaction.
B. Enthusiasm and amusement.
C. Admiration and compassion.
D. Compassion and satisfaction.
15. What can be inferred from people with different incomes
A. Those with lower income live a hard life.
B. They have different ways to get happiness.
C. Richer ones are happier than poorer ones.
D. Their happiness has nothing to do with money.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了金钱是否影响幸福。研究发现高收入者更有可能体验到专注于自己的积极情绪，而低收入者更有可能体验到专注于与他人沟通的积极情绪，即一个人获得幸福的方式可能是一个人在特定环境中生存和应对的产物，无好坏之分。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“ higher earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on themselves...”(高收入者更有可能体验到专注于自己的积极情绪......)可知，挣钱多的人更喜欢关注自己。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“From the survey, scientist collected the household income of each person and analyzed how each person experienced the seven emotions that are believed to cause happiness: amusement, admiration, compassion, satisfaction, enthusiasm, love, and pride.”(从调查中，这位科学家收集了每个人的家庭收入，并分析了每个人是如何体验到七种被认为会带来幸福的情绪的：娱乐、钦佩、同情、满足、热情、爱和骄傲)可知，科学家研究7种情感是因为他们与人们的幸福感有关。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的第二句“Lower earners were associated with more other-oriented happiness-related emotions: compassion, love, and admiration.”（收入较低的人更容易产生与他人相关的快乐情绪:同情、爱和钦佩）可知，收入较低的人们具有感情是敬佩和同情。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句的内容“As to reasons for the difference, the researchers suppose that while pride and satisfaction may reflect upper class individuals' desire for independence, increased love and compassion may help lower class individuals form more harmonious , interdependent bonds to help deal with their more threatening environments.”（至于造成这种差异的原因，研究人员认为，虽然骄傲和满足感可能反映了上层阶级个人对独立的渴望，但增加爱和同情可能有助于下层阶级个人形成更和谐的关系,相互依存的纽带有助于应对更具威胁性的环境）可知，挣钱多的人与挣钱少的人用不同的方法获得幸福。故选B项。

【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何管理愤怒提出了一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文When things or people act in a certain way that is unacceptable to you, you get angry.可知当事物或人以某种你无法接受的方式行事时，你就会生气。以及下文Here are some things you can do to manage anger.可知以下是一些控制愤怒的方法。由此可知，本句是一个过渡句，本段先提到愤怒情形的发生，接着应说明控制愤怒情绪的重要性，点明本文的主旨，同时引出下文介绍控制愤怒情绪的方法，故F选项“学习如何正确管理自己的情绪是很重要的”符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文A lot of people have done things they regretted later because they acted in anger.(很多人因为愤怒而做了事后后悔的事)以及下文So train yourself to be calm when you are angry.(所以训练自己在生气的时候保持冷静)由此可知，本句承接上文说明在愤怒的情形下会不考虑后果而做出一些事情，同时也为下文说明愤怒时要保持镇定提供了原因，故G选项“愤怒促使你不考虑后果地行动”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文Be silent until your anger dies down. Often you use words to express how you feel when you are angry. People have said things they didn’t mean to say. Stay silent when you are angry, which shows you have self-control.可知保持沉默，直到你的怒气平息。当你生气的时候，你经常用语言来表达你的感受。人们说了一些他们并不想说的话。生气的时候保持沉默，说明你有自制力。由此可知，本句应与该段的首句相照应，对本段加以总结，C选项中的“quiet”与前面提到的“silent”相对应，应选C。故C选项“当你生气的时候练习保持安静”符合语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文Avoid people or issues that get you angry. Total avoidance is a very good strategy in managing anger.( 避免让你生气人或问题。完全回避是管理愤怒的一个非常好的策略)以及后文It is a good way of avoiding the negative outcomes of anger when there is little or nothing you can do to get rid of the source of your anger. (当你对摆脱愤怒的源头无能为力时，这是一种避免愤怒带来负面结果的好方法)由此可知，本句与上文这三个句子共同说明要避开令人愤怒的人或事，且E选项中提到的“move away”与上下文中的“avoidance”及“avoiding”相对应，故E选项“了解那些让你生气的事情，然后远离它们”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据后文One good way to handle your anger is to find an exciting activity that you can join in. It could be listening to music, reading, seeing a movie or talking to someone. I have found this particular strategy very helpful. It may work for you as well.可知一个处理愤怒情绪的好方法是找一个你可以参与的令人兴奋的活动。可以是听音乐、读书、看电影或与人交谈。我发现这个特别的策略非常有用。这可能对你也有用。由此可知，根据本段的内容可以概括出本段的主旨，即要让自己做自己喜欢做的事，这样就可以控制住愤怒的情绪，故B选项“参加你喜欢的活动”符合语境，故选B。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分,满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Cathy Martin is a hurricane hunter with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For six months each year, she is part of a team that collects ___36___ she describes as “vital data, to save life and property.”
When winds pick up, ___37___(spin) toward the Caribbean and U. S. coastline, Martin and ___38___(she) flight team spring into action.
They use instruments called dropsondes, which ___39___(set) free from a tube at the back of the plane. As a dropsonde makes its 10,000-foot landing into the sea, it sends out information about air temperature, pressure, humidity, and the speed and ___40___(direct) of the wind.
On an eight-hour flight, Martin’s team ___41___(typical) drops 15 to 20 dropsondes while flying from one side of the storm ___42___ the other, trying to cover as much ground as possible. They head for the center (or eye) of the storm, ___43___ there’s no wind, and also search for the strongest winds, to help people on the coast prepare for what’s coming. Sometimes, they will use an unmanned aircraft ___44___ (gather) data closer to the ocean's surface.
Though these flights can be long, ____45____(tire) and often last several days in a row, Martin likes her job and wishes she could fly every day.
【答案】36. what
37. spinning
38. her 39. are set
40. direction
41. typically
42. to 43. where
44. to gather
45. tiring
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Cathy Martin 以及她的团队是如何收集数据预测飓风的。
【36题详解】
考查连接词。句意：每年有六个月的时间，她是一个团队的成员，这个团队收集她所说的“重要数据，以拯救生命和财产”。本句为宾语从句，因为从句中缺少宾语，指代事物，故填what。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当风力增强，向加勒比海和美国海岸线旋转时，马丁和她的飞行团队立即行动起来。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故spin只能作非谓语动词与逻辑主语wind是主动关系，故填现在分词作状语，故填spinning。
【38题详解】
考查物主代词。修饰名词flight team使用形容词性物主代词，故填her。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：他们使用一种叫做下投式探空仪的仪器，这种仪器从飞机后部的管子中释放出来。主语是dropsondes与谓语动词构成被动关系，结合上下文使用一般现在时，主语为复数名词，故填are set。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：当探空仪降落在10000英尺的海面上时，它会发出有关空气温度、压力、湿度以及风速和风向的信息。根据上文名词并列结构the speed and可知，应填名词，故填direction。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：在8小时飞行中，马丁的团队从风暴的一边飞到另一边时，通常会放下15到20个探空仪，试图覆盖尽可能多的地面。修饰动词drop应用副词，故填typically。
【42题详解】
考查介词。固定短语from…to…“从……到……”，故填介词to。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句连接词。句意：他们前往风暴中心(或风眼)，那里没有风，也寻找最强的风，帮助沿海地区的人们为即将到来的风暴做好准备。本句为定语从句修饰先行词center，且在定语从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：有时，他们会使用无人驾驶飞机收集更接近海洋表面的数据。本句为不定式to do作目的状语，故填to gather。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：虽然这些飞行时间很长，也很累，而且常常会持续好几天，但马丁喜欢她的工作，希望她能每天都飞。根据上文系动词be可知，应填形容词作表语，修饰物，故填tiring。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：
(1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第八小题，句意：他们前往风暴中心(或风眼)，那里没有风，也寻找最强的风，帮助沿海地区的人们为即将到来的风暴做好准备。本句为定语从句修饰先行词center，且在定语从句中做地点状语，故填关系副词where。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写的词数150字左右。
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going ” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess…,” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars（伤疤） such as cuts, scratches and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As I was Looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me. Her angelic face beamed, though, as I could see, there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. You wanna play dolls with me ” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent toward Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked toward the doll house. Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sore for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a profound time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达考查读后续写。短文叙述了作者想成为妈妈那样的人。她心地善良，富有同情心，在她面前总能让人感到很舒服。多年来，她一直是社区的志愿者。作者喜欢去当地的养老院帮助她，直到作者十几岁。突然间，作者太沉迷于自己的世界，而无暇顾及帮助别人。有一天，妈妈拉着极不情愿的作者去了一家儿童庇护所。
【详解】1．通读全文，读懂原文。通读全文首先要解决好五个W和一个H的问题， 即理清人物who、地点where、时间when、事件what、原因why及怎样发展how。
2．构思情节，谋篇布局。按照原文中事件发生的逻辑性，构思好情节发展，发展须符合情节内在的逻辑。应该符合现实发生的真实性。第一段围绕“我”与小女孩的互动展开描写；第二段续写围绕着“我”从这些活动的受益展开描写。
3．理清逻辑，优化语言。这一部分侧重点为语言逻辑，写作不必追求高大上的词汇，相反，朴实自然、地道、贴切的词语便是好的词语．不同的写作对象应采用不同的语言风格，必须采用适当的描写侧重点．续写要抓住续这一核心，按照情节的发展进行延续，写作手法上必须以叙为主，描写上以动作描写为重心，情节的发展合乎逻辑地推进。
【点睛】续写部分描写详略得当，且使用了大量高级词汇和高级句子，如 I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.使用了with+宾语+宾语补足语结构；I felt sore for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us.使用了宾语从句，长句子为文章增色不少。

It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
4. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015
A. To cheer himself up.
B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel.
D. To share his travelling experiences.
5. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains
A. Shocked. B. Sad.
C. Doubtful. D. Excited
6. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him
A. She made him live a better life.
B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
7. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.
C
For 63 percent of Americans, coffee is one of their daily essentials. This number has been this high since 2017, according to the National Coffee Association. The rise of coffee is due to its numerous benefits like preventing DNA damage, but it works best if you do this simple thing first: Eat.
“Drinking coffee on an empty stomach or early in the morning before you’ve had breakfast, can raise the level of cortisol (皮质醇) in your body. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, your body starts releasing cortisol. It’s a hormone (激素) that’s responsible for ruling your immune response, metabolism (新陈代谢), and stress response,” says Dr. Nikola Djordjevic, MD.
“If you pump your body with caffeine(咖啡因) when your cortisol is at its peak,” Djordjevic says, “you’ll be forcing your body to bear even more stress.” In a study that evaluated preference for caffeinated drinks among medical students, it’s shown that 25 percent of students drank coffee in the morning on an empty stomach.
These students are at an increased risk of mood changes and possible long-term effects on their health, as explained in the study. “Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can greatly encourage the acid in your stomach, producing a more acidic environment,” says Dr. Jamie Long, a licensed clinical psychologist. Thus, a full stomach is important to control the amount of stomach acid produced.
Since coffee increases your stomach acid, you’re highly likely to experience heartburn and even develop gastric ulcers (胃溃疡), Djordjevic says. Clearly, drinking coffee on an empty stomach affects physical health. But it does harm to mental health, too. The overproduction of acid in the stomach can cause mood swings, nervousness, shaking and other withdrawal symptoms (症状). “And if you’ve already had the sign of experiencing anxiety, you’re even more possible to be attacked by the effects of coffee,” says Long.

People say money doesn’t buy happiness, but how much money you make can affect the way you experience it
While it’s true that money can’t buy happiness, having money has certain benefits. For example, money can buy you time to do things that make you happier, and giving away some of your money can make you happier as well. Now scientists from the University of California at Irvine have found that how much money you make may impact (影响) how you experience happiness; higher earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on themselves, while lower earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on connecting with other people.
Scientists used data from an existing survey of 1,519 U.S. adults between the ages of 24 to 93, to be representative of the entire U.S. population. From the survey, scientist collected the household income of each person and analyzed how each person experienced the seven emotions that are believed to cause happiness: amusement, admiration, compassion, satisfaction, enthusiasm, love, and pride.
What they found was that higher earners were associated with the happiness-related emotions of satisfaction, pride, and amusement, all of which are self-focused in nature. Lower earners were associated with more other-oriented (他人指向) happiness-related emotions: compassion, love, and admiration. There were no differences observed with enthusiasm.
As to reasons for the difference, the researchers suppose that while pride and satisfaction may reflect upper class individuals’ desire for independence, increased love and compassion may help lower class individuals form more harmonious (和谐的), interdependent bonds to help deal with their more threatening environments. In other words, the researchers are not saying that one way of getting happiness is better than another, but rather that the way one obtains happiness may be a product of existing and coping within one’s particular circumstances.
12. What do higher earners prefer to do
A. Long to connect with others.
B. Spend more money on the poor.
C. Buy things to make them happier.
D. Pay more attention to themselves.
13. Why did the scientists study the seven emotions
A. They can make people happy.
B. They can be bought with money.
C They are the most common feelings.
D. They are results of an existing survey.
14. Which emotions do lower-income people have based on the study
A. Pride and satisfaction.
B. Enthusiasm and amusement.
C. Admiration and compassion.
D. Compassion and satisfaction.
15. What can be inferred from people with different incomes
A. Those with lower income live a hard life.
B. They have different ways to get happiness.
C. Richer ones are happier than poorer ones.
D. Their happiness has nothing to do with money.

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going ” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess…,” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars（伤疤） such as cuts, scratches and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
