Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends.
One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting.
Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating, drinking and having fun all day.
One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.”

Children seem to care so much about their names. A study shows that most of young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
Some people choose to change their names when they grow up. Many people in show business don’t use the names their parents gave them. Have you ever listened to Joanne No The answer could be “yes” if we call her stage name instead! You may never heard of Margaret. But if we tell you her stage name, you might know her as a famous dancer.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she comes from.
Choosing a good name isn’t easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meanings of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means “born on Saturday”.
Is every boy called Curitis polite And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.
8. What can we know about the study
A. Young kids don’t care about their future.
B. Most of young people care about their names.
C. Most girls want to change their names.
D. Most parents want to rename by themselves.
9. Why is “Joanne” mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To prove some people hope to be renamed.
B. To introduce a famous dancer to readers.
C. To introduce her true name.
D. To tell the benefit of name.
10. Why is it difficult to choose a good name
A. Kids always want to rename.
B. It is hard to change kids’ names.
C. Parents aren’t sure if their kids will like the name.
D Parents want to choose a meaningful name.
11. What is the best title for the text

C. Love your parents, love your name D. Methods to choose a suitable name
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B

Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.
“Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)”, who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it’s widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer no-phone agreements.
Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can’t focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.
“Many parents come back home and focus on their smartphones, ignoring whatever their children are trying to say,” said Shannon Zimmerman, who works as a nanny in San Jose for families that forbid screen time. “As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids.”
12. Why are the Silicon Valley nannies greatly needed according to the text
A. To help parents and children balance work and life.
B. To teach children how to use technology responsibly.
C. To keep children away from screens.
D. To encourage children to exercise.
13. What is the result of spending too much time on screens for teenagers
A. Feeling confused. B. Feeling anxious. C. Feeling bored. D. Feeling nervous.
14. What does Shannon suggest parents do
A. Encourage their children more. B. Play games with their children.
C. Stop using smartphones at home. D. Spend more time with their children.
15. What is the text about
A. Parents concern about screen time for children. B. Children are addicted to screen time.
C. All parents limit children to phones. D. Science has no effects on young minds.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.(一些家长认为，即使是一小段时间的屏幕时间也会非常上瘾，所以最好让他们的孩子完全避免使用或看到这些设备。然而，对于21世纪的工作成年人来说，放弃在家使用电话是很难的。所以，雇人来做这件事更简单)”可知，硅谷的保姆是为了让孩子远离屏幕。故选C。

37. with 38. responsibility##responsibilities
39. are encouraged
40. To make
41. a 42. based
43. seeking
44. Finally
45. which
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述教师如何让学生把学习当乐趣。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如果传统的学习方法不能吸引学生的注意力，为什么不尝试一种创造性的方法呢？空处应填形容词creative“创造性的”作定语，修饰名词method。故填creative。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：一种选择是为学生提供相互指导的机会。provide sb. with sth.“为某人提供某物”，固定搭配，故填介词with。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：当孩子们为自己的学习或他人的学习负责时，他们被鼓励彻底理解材料。分析句子结构可知，本空用不可数名词responsibility“责任，负责”，作given的宾语。responsibility也可以是可数名词，结合句意可知，责任不止一个，应用名词复数形式，作given的宾语。故填responsibility或responsibilities。
【39题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：当孩子们为自己的学习或他人的学习负责时，他们被鼓励彻底理解材料。分析句子结构可知，空处为主句谓语动词，主句主语they和动词encourage“鼓励”为动宾关系，结合全文可知，时态为一般现在时。所以空白处要填一般现在时的被动语态，结合主语they，所以be动词用are。故填are encouraged。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了让学生有机会相互教学，教师可以给每个学生分配一个主题，并要求他们就该主题准备一节课。本句谓语为can assign，此处应用非谓语动词，表目的，用make“制造”的不定式形式，位于句首，首字母大写。故填To make。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：为了让学生有机会相互教学，教师可以给每个学生分配一个主题，并要求他们就该主题准备一节课。此处泛指“一个主题”，且topic以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦准备好了，学生就可以根据他们的主题在全班面前展示材料。本句谓语为can present，此处应用非谓语动词，且 material与base...on...“把……建立在……基础之上”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填based。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：学生们需要依靠彼此来解决他们遇到的任何问题，而不是立即向老师寻求帮助。本句中Rather than为介词短语，后接动词seek“寻求”的动名词形式作宾语。故填seeking。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：最后，老师可以给学生分配小组项目，这将使他们与同学合作，一起讨论问题，使学习更愉快。分析句子可知，空白处在句中作状语，要用副词finally“最后”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Finally。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：最后，老师可以给学生分配小组项目，这将使他们与同学合作，一起讨论问题，使学习更愉快。分析句子结构可知，本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是group projects，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.
This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank.
The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The whole cafe went quiet when they saw what was happening.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked as if he couldn’t thank the waiter enough.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
The whole cafe went quiet when they saw what was happening. Then, out of nowhere, people started clapping. It was like something from a movie. Everyone was smiling and looking at the boy enjoying his surprise meal. As the boy ate, the people in the cafe started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. It was like the waiter’s kindness had the leading function, and now everyone wanted to offer him some money.
The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked as if he couldn’t thank the waiter enough. Perhaps this was the first time he had had such a delicious meal. At the same time, the waiter gave the boy all the money he received just now and encouraged him, “Everything will be OK. Never give up.” The boy was so moved that he couldn’t say any words. He knew that without the waiter’s kind act, he couldn’t have had a full meal. They didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. They were just two people sharing a quiet moment together, and it felt like they understood each other perfectly.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小男孩看到一位女士在柜台付钱离开了，便去吃她剩下的食物。他迅速坐下来，狼吞虎咽地吃剩下的饭菜，就像这是他吃过的最好的一顿饭一样。然后，服务员走了过来，他一开始什么也没说，只是看了一会，男孩感到害怕，停止吃东西，泪水开始充满了他的眼睛。他以为服务员肯定会把他赶出去。相反，服务员拿走了吃了一半的盘子，男孩的心一沉。男孩起身要离开，但他还没走多远，服务员就回来了，让男孩等一会儿。服务员给了他一顿丰盛而新鲜的饭菜。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当他们看到发生的事情时，整个咖啡馆都安静下来了。”可知，第一段可描写咖啡馆里的人们看到这一幕之后所做的事情。
②由第二段首句内容“男孩吃得很饱，心情很好，看起来他对服务员的感激之情溢于言表。”可知，第二段可描写服务员如何处理人们给的小费并且鼓励男孩的过程。
2.续写线索：人们开始鼓掌——看着男孩享受大餐——人们走向服务员，给小费——服务员把小费给男孩——鼓励男孩——男孩感动

Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends.
One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting.
Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating, drinking and having fun all day.
One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.”

Children seem to care so much about their names. A study shows that most of young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
Some people choose to change their names when they grow up. Many people in show business don’t use the names their parents gave them. Have you ever listened to Joanne No The answer could be “yes” if we call her stage name instead! You may never heard of Margaret. But if we tell you her stage name, you might know her as a famous dancer.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she comes from.
Choosing a good name isn’t easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meanings of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means “born on Saturday”.
Is every boy called Curitis polite And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.

Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.
“Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)”, who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it’s widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer no-phone agreements.
Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can’t focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.
“Many parents come back home and focus on their smartphones, ignoring whatever their children are trying to say,” said Shannon Zimmerman, who works as a nanny in San Jose for families that forbid screen time. “As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids.”
12. Why are the Silicon Valley nannies greatly needed according to the text
A. To help parents and children balance work and life.
B. To teach children how to use technology responsibly.
C. To keep children away from screens.
D. To encourage children to exercise.
13. What is the result of spending too much time on screens for teenagers
A. Feeling confused. B. Feeling anxious. C. Feeling bored. D. Feeling nervous.
14. What does Shannon suggest parents do
A. Encourage their children more. B. Play games with their children.
C. Stop using smartphones at home. D. Spend more time with their children.
15. What is the text about
A. Parents concern about screen time for children. B. Children are addicted to screen time.
C. All parents limit children to phones. D. Science has no effects on young minds.

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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.
This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank.
The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.
