Earlier this month,6-year-old lsaac went on vacation to Fort Walton,Florida,with his family. While there,his mother Garrett learned about Lulu,a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏症).
At LuLu,Isaac could eat a salad and roast chicken with rice.“lsaac looked at me as if he was asking me,Is this ok?”Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK,Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of ordering and eating at a restaurant.” “That look on his face seemed to show that this was the coolest thing he had ever done.” Garrett said.
Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It’s not fun and it feels unfair,” she said.
Their night at Lulu marked a celebration for lsaac. Isaac felt terribly fulfilled because of eating at the restaurant. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurant's Facebook page to thank them for helping her son. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving hi m this experience.” she wrote in her post.

We have been improving this process over the last 10 years since our allergy program was started.”
On Garrett's Facebook post,Lulu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. “Thank you for sharing your experience with us.” the restaurant wrote in a comment. “We are excited to see your son so happy!””

The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》)does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers(修复者)of relics and antiquities(古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(工艺)in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance(忍耐), loneliness…All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Oing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
8. According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A. To show people how antiques are restored
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers
9. What can we learn from what Wang Lin says in paragraph4
A. He often gets tired with his work B. There is no need to do restoration work fast
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration
10. What does the underlined word “humdrum” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Boring B. Different C. Relaxing D. Unusual
11. What is the purpose of the bicyle-riding scene in the documentary
A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers
D
The country’s first national park, Yellowstone, is renaming one of its largest mountains to honor indigenous people after research revealed the man it had been named after helped lead a massacre (屠杀) against local tribes. As part of the park’s 150th anniversary, officials announced the 10,551-foot high peak formerly called Mount Doane is now First Peoples Mountain.
“It is a victory, yes. Is history being rewritten and retold truthfully I hope so,” William Snell, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, told NPR. His group helped advise federal officials on the name change. In an email, Snell said the change to First Peoples Mountain couldn't have come at a better time as Yellowstone officials prepare for the park’s anniversary in August.
The peak—along a range on the eastern side of Yellowstone Lake—had been named after Gustavus Doane, who helped lead the Washburn-Langford-Doane exploration in 1870 that eventually led to the park getting federal protection.
But recently, historians uncovered Doane’s role in an attack that left at least 173 Native Americans dead. Known as the Marias Massacre, Doane carried out the attack over the killing of a white fur trader. In writings, Doane cast a favorable light on the attack and even showed off about it for the rest of his life, the National Park Service said last week.
The renaming to First Peoples Mountain is part of a trend to better recognize the roles and contributions of Native Americans. It has also become a priority of the nation’s first indigenous cabinet secretary—the Interior Department’s Deb Haaland, who oversees the National Park Service—and Charles SamsⅢ, the first Native American to serve as that agency’s director.
Across the American West, many iconic representative mountains and other environmental places were named after early white settlers, mostly men and some with terrible pasts.
In Yellowstone, park officials say they may consider further changes to derogatory (贬损的) or inappropriate geographical names in the months ahead.
12 Why does Yellowstone decide to rename one of its largest mountains
A. To gain more profits. B. To uncover the history of 1870s.
C. To be in honour of Native Americans. D. To change people's attitude towards the park.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The terrible pasts of Doane. B. The effort historians made.
C. The contributions Doane made. D. The conclusion National Park Service drew.
14. What will Yellowstone Park do according to park officials
A. Improve the service qualities. B. Learn from history events and characters.
C Protect the environment of Yellowstone Park. D. Consider renaming improper geographical names.
15. What can we learn from the text
A. Doane regarded his deeds as a shame. B. Doane was once mistaken for a hero.
C. Americans reacted to the renaming negatively. D. The government thought little of the renaming work.

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job, and now our financial situation was depressing. Finally, I had put the home on the market. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬), Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in discouragement, I sat typing up my application letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help sighing and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式答题卡相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital.

【分析】这是一篇说明文,介绍了纪录片《我在故宫修文物》所反映出的中国古董修复师的工匠精神。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec.16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers of relics and antiquities.”(取而代之的是,这部纪录片于12月16日在中国电影院上映,重点关注的是普通人——文物和古物的修复者。)可知,纪录片《我在故宫修文物》的主要目的是让人们关注中国古董修复师的生活。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.”(然而,在一个一切都在快速变化的社会中,这些修复师的耐心和内心的平静尤为宝贵。)可知,从第四段中王林的话中可知,古董修复师需要耐心和平和。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句和第二句“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet”(如果你选择这份工作,你必须坐在椅子上工作数小时。你需要安静,习惯于安静)可知,古董修复师的工作需要长时间安静地坐着。根据第五段倒第二句 “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness…”(追求严谨和完美,致力于工作,耐心,忍耐,孤独……)可知,古董修复师的工作需要耐心和忍耐,是很孤独的。所以古董修复师的工作是枯燥无聊的,humdrum意为 “枯燥无聊的”。故选A。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.”(《我在故宫修文物》证明了许多人关于古董修复者的想法是错误的,这让他们意识到他们不是老而乏味的教授,而是40多岁、30多岁甚至20多岁的人,他们可以非常讨人喜欢。)可知,纪录片中骑行场景的目的是为了表明这部纪录片打破了古董修复者陈旧呆板的形象。故选D。
D
The country’s first national park, Yellowstone, is renaming one of its largest mountains to honor indigenous people after research revealed the man it had been named after helped lead a massacre (屠杀) against local tribes. As part of the park’s 150th anniversary, officials announced the 10,551-foot high peak formerly called Mount Doane is now First Peoples Mountain.
“It is a victory, yes. Is history being rewritten and retold truthfully I hope so,” William Snell, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, told NPR. His group helped advise federal officials on the name change. In an email, Snell said the change to First Peoples Mountain couldn't have come at a better time as Yellowstone officials prepare for the park’s anniversary in August.
The peak—along a range on the eastern side of Yellowstone Lake—had been named after Gustavus Doane, who helped lead the Washburn-Langford-Doane exploration in 1870 that eventually led to the park getting federal protection.
But recently, historians uncovered Doane’s role in an attack that left at least 173 Native Americans dead. Known as the Marias Massacre, Doane carried out the attack over the killing of a white fur trader. In writings, Doane cast a favorable light on the attack and even showed off about it for the rest of his life, the National Park Service said last week.
The renaming to First Peoples Mountain is part of a trend to better recognize the roles and contributions of Native Americans. It has also become a priority of the nation’s first indigenous cabinet secretary—the Interior Department’s Deb Haaland, who oversees the National Park Service—and Charles SamsⅢ, the first Native American to serve as that agency’s director.
Across the American West, many iconic representative mountains and other environmental places were named after early white settlers, mostly men and some with terrible pasts.
In Yellowstone, park officials say they may consider further changes to derogatory (贬损的) or inappropriate geographical names in the months ahead.
12. Why does Yellowstone decide to rename one of its largest mountains
A. To gain more profits. B. To uncover the history of 1870s.
C. To be in honour of Native Americans. D. To change people's attitude towards the park.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The terrible pasts of Doane. B. The effort historians made.
C. The contributions Doane made. D. The conclusion National Park Service drew.
14 What will Yellowstone Park do according to park officials
A Improve the service qualities. B. Learn from history events and characters.
C. Protect the environment of Yellowstone Park. D. Consider renaming improper geographical names.
15. What can we learn from the text
A. Doane regarded his deeds as a shame. B. Doane was once mistaken for a hero.
C. Americans reacted to the renaming negatively. D. The government thought little of the renaming work.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了国家黄石公园正在为其最大的山脉之一重新命名,并解释了重新命名的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The country’s first national park, Yellowstone, is renaming one of its largest mountains to honor indigenous people after research revealed the man it had been named after helped lead a massacre against local tribes.(在研究显示该公园以帮助领导了一场针对当地部落的大屠杀的男子的名字命名之后,国家第一个国家公园黄石公园正在重新命名其最大的山脉之一,以纪念原住民)”可知,黄石公园决定重新命名它最大的山脉之一,是为了纪念美国原住民。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But recently, historians uncovered Doane’s role in an attack that left at least 173 Native Americans dead. Known as the Marias Massacre, Doane carried out the attack over the killing of a white fur trader.(但最近,历史学家发现了多恩在一起袭击中的作用,这次袭击造成至少173名美国原住民死亡。以马里亚斯大屠杀而闻名,多恩实施了袭击,以回应其杀害一名白色毛皮贸易商的事件)”可知,本段主要讲述了多恩的可怕的过去。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In Yellowstone, park officials say they may consider further changes to derogatory or inappropriate geographical names in the months ahead.(在黄石公园,公园官员表示,他们可能会考虑在未来几个月对贬损的或不恰当的地名进行进一步修改)”可知,根据公园官员的说法,黄石公园将考虑重命名不适当的地名。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The peak—along a range on the eastern side of Yellowstone Lake—had been named after Gustavus Doane, who helped lead the Washburn-Langford-Doane exploration in 1870 that eventually led to the park getting federal protection.(黄石湖东侧山脉沿线的山峰以古斯塔夫·多恩的名字命名,他在1870年帮助领导了沃什本·朗福德·多恩探险队,最终使公园获得联邦保护)”以及第四段“But recently, historians uncovered Doane’s role in an attack that left at least 173 Native Americans dead.(但最近,历史学家发现了多恩在一起袭击中的作用,这次袭击造成至少173名美国原住民死亡)”可推知,做了可怕的事情的多恩曾经被误以为是英雄。故选B项。

Traveling anywhere with kids can be challenging, who can make or break the holiday for the whole family. ___16___ Not necessarily! Here are some practical tips on how to travel internationally with kids safely and stress-free.
● ___17___ Kids have a tiny attention span, so you’ll need to keep them engaged during the long voyage from takeoff to landing. Bring an armful of new toys, books, stickers, pencils and crayons, and load your tablet with new apps. And bring some healthy snacks, too.
● Prioritize(优先考虑) sleep and food. These are two keys to kids’ happiness anywhere in the world: Keep them well-fed and well-rested. ___18___ Pick and choose late nights carefully. Build your agenda around your children. Don’t be too ambitious and pack the days full. Leave lots of downtime. And always have snacks on hand for times when the next meal is nowhere in sight.

● Be open to unexpected discoveries. Traveling with kids will open new worlds and new possibilities you could never imagine; for example, a local invites you for dinner or a fisherman offers to show you his boat. ___20___ These are often the most rewarding moments of any journey.

B. Prepare for long flights.
C. When opportunity knocks go with it.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了带孩子进行国际旅行的几条建议。
【16题详解】
根据前句“Traveling anywhere with kids can be challenging, who can make or break the holiday for the whole family.( 带着孩子去任何地方旅行都是一件很有挑战性的事情,因为孩子可以决定整个家庭假期的成败。)”可知,带孩子旅行具有挑战性。再根据后句“Not necessarily!(未必!) ”和接着为带孩子进行国际旅行提出了建议,所以这里讨论带孩子进行国际旅行的难度是否更大。所以选择项G“Does it mean traveling abroad with kids is a tougher job (这是否意味着带着孩子出国旅行是一项更困难的工作 )”符合上下文语境。此句为承上启下句。故选G。
【17题详解】
本句为本段中心句。根据本段内容可知,本段主要讲的是在长途国际旅行时,为了让孩子保持专注,父母应该准备的东西。所以选择项B“Prepare for long flights. (做好长途飞行的准备。)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“long flights”和后文中的“long voyage”相一致。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据前句“These are two keys to kids' happiness anywhere in the world: Keep them well-fed and well-rested.(这是世界上任何地方的孩子快乐的两个关键:让他们吃好、休息好。)”可知,孩子快乐的关键,做到这两个关键就一切都好。所以选择项D“Thus everything else will fall into place. (这样,其他的一切都将到位。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据本段中心句“Provide options and plans. ”()(提供选择和计划)可知,本段的建议是在旅行中给孩子提供选择和参与决策的机会,接着说的是这样做能让孩子们体会到成就感,接下来进一步给出这样做的好处。所以选择项E“It will reduce complaining greatly as well. (这也将大大减少抱怨。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前句“Traveling with kids will open new worlds and new possibilities you could never imagine;(和孩子们一起旅行会打开你无法想象的新世界和可能性)”可知,在旅行过程中可以遇到的新机会。所以选择项E“When opportunity knocks go with it. (机不可失,时不再来。)”符合上下文语境。与主题句“Be open to unexpected discoveries.(对意外发现保持开放的心态。)”相照应。选择项中的“opportunity”与前句中的“new worlds and new possibilities”相一致。故选C。

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job, and now our financial situation was depressing. Finally, I had put the home on the market. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬), Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in discouragement, I sat typing up my application letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help sighing and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.

【答案】参考范文1:
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Breathless and astonished, I watched Brigitte mustering her courage to swim towards my son, who was struggling desperately in the icy water. Almost meanwhile, I sprang into action. With every powerful stroke, I got close to where Forrest was floating. Fortunately, he was about to sink when I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the shallow end of the pool, with Brigitte paddling alongside, concern obvious in her big and intelligent eyes. The moment I got my boy out, our beloved dog bounced around him, constantly licking his pale face as if to warm him. Voice trembling, I called 911 and soon we were rushed to the nearest hospital. Every second counted!
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. At this, I heaved a sigh of relief. On arriving home, our dog Brigitte leaped high up to give us warm and wet kisses, wagging her tail cheerfully. Looking directly into her eyes with gratitude and a bit of guilt, I scooped her up and held her close to my chest, unwilling to let her go for a single minute. It was then that I suddenly became aware that life sometimes can be cruel and miserable, but there was always someone or something guiding you, protecting you, and accompanying you with unconditional love and loyalty. Our dog was just our guardian angel, shattering my despair about losing our home and guiding us out of trouble. How could I leave her
参考范文2:
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest’s yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in, lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil. Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part of our lives, who I would never give up.
