When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊) . Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
4. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __________.
A. show his magical power B. pay for the delivery
C. satisfy his curiosity D. please his mother
5. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house
A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.
C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.
6. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.
C Its service is getting poor. D. It is not allowed by law.
7. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box
A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.

Next month, I’m traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala — one of the local languages — to have a conversation. I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage this — until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I’m going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the application I’m using. It feels just like a game.
“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’re trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”
Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”. When the application believes that you’ve really memorized a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the application sends you emails, reminding you to “water your plants”.
The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created — I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day.
I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won’t make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my Vocabulary!
8. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise
A. Create memorable experiences. B. Make progress with hard work.
C. Learning words instead of watching TV. D. Combine study with entertainment.
9. What are you doing when you “water your plants”
A. Logging on to the application. B. Being a Memrise user.
C. Practising the vocabulary. D. Moving words to your garden.
10. How does Memrise work
A. By linking different mems together. B. By putting knowledge into practice.
C. By offering human translation services. D. By applying an associative memory approach.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uninterested. D. Negative.
D
People tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods of preparation, preservation techniques (技巧), and types of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Nations or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people associate Italy with pizza and pasta (意大利面食). Yet Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families in the United States prefer to eat “meat and potatoes,” but “meat and potatoes” are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.
Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations, bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported from other countries. Approximately (大约) 80 percent of Samoa’s food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or Australia. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
Even the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to limit conversation during a meal.
Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.
12. What can be learned about Italians’ eating habits
A. They differ from region to region. B. They center on meat and potatoes.
C. They mainly consist of pizza and pasta. D. They are similar to American eating habits.
13. What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa
A. People are forming new food preferences.
B. People can’t be simply defined by their food.
C. People don’t have the same food requirements.
D. People are developing a liking for international food.
14. What does the underlined part “catch up on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Learn about. B. Make up for.
C. Continue with. D. Make a difference to.
15. What advice is given in the last paragraph
A. Expression of friendship should be appropriate.
B. Awareness of food cultures should be developed.
C. Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.
D. Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.

Lee took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When his lungs felt comfortable, he dived beneath the water. Looking up, he could see the bright sun shining on the water’s surface. “Soon,” Lee thought, “I shall be able to hold my breath as long as David. Then I, too, shall be able to dive for pearls.”
With lungs burning, he quickly surfaced and gasped(喘气) for breath. Lee was small for his twelve years, and he hated being treated as a child. David, his old brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Lee’s age.
Now, every day as the sun warmed the bay, David and the other young men went out to dive for oysters (牡蛎). With luck, there would be pearls in many of them. Many times Lee begged to go along, but David always refused.
So every day Lee would go to the shallow water to practice. With each day’s effort, his diving improved and he felt much at home in the water. “Tomorrow I shall challenge David.” Lee decided. The next morning, Lee rose early, hurrying to catch up with David, who was already on the beach. “David, wait!” called Lee.
The group of men around David grew quiet. Lee continued, “David, I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can. If I win, I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side. ”
The men of the village gasped (倒抽气) and began to laugh. David looked amused, “And what if when you lose ”
“I will not lose!” He took a breath, “But if I should, I promise not to ask to go with you for a full year! The men of the village are here to judge. ”
Hearing this, David looked surprised.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 100 左右;
2.续写部分分一段,开头语已为你写好;
But with all of his friends looking on, David had no choice but to agree.

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, including basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes. (我们提供种类繁多的最新自行车,包括有脚刹的基本自行车、有手刹和带排挡的自行车、带儿童座椅的自行车和儿童自行车)”可推知,MacBike的优势是它提供许多类型的自行车。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据定价表可知,租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车一天需要14.75欧元,额外增加天数每天8欧元。所以租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车两天需要14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The tour departs from Dam Square every hour on the hour, starting at 1:00 pm every day. (旅游团每小时从大坝广场出发,每天下午1点开始)”可知,导游城市之旅从大坝广场开始。故选D。

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
4. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __________.
A. show his magical power B. pay for the delivery
C. satisfy his curiosity D. please his mother
5. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house

A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要通过回忆少年时代送奶员给自己带来的快乐,想念那时的岁月,逝去的总是美好的和有趣的。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. (作为一个5岁的男孩,我目不转睛地盯着固定在他腰带上的硬币兑换器。有一天送货时,他注意到了这一点,便从他的硬币兑换机里掏出25美分给了我。)”可知,因为作者当时才5岁,对硬币兑换器感兴趣,感到好奇,所以为了满足小男孩的好奇心,Mr. Basille从他的硬币兑换器里拿出25美分给了他。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze.(各家各户和送奶工之间关系密切。Basille先生甚至有我们家的钥匙,当外面太冷的时候,我们就把盒子放在室内,这样牛奶就不会结冰。)”可判断,Mr. Basille完全得到作者家人的信任,所以才会有男孩家的钥匙。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Big companies allowed the production cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Beside, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. (大公司允许生产更便宜的牛奶,因此让送奶工很难竞争。此外,牛奶到处都可以买到,而提供送奶服务可能并不实际。)”可知,家庭送奶不再存在是因为送奶工无法提供比大公司更便宜的,更大量的牛奶,送奶工难以与之竞争,所以送奶服务已经被挤出市场。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. (最近,我在农村看到的一个旧牛奶盒勾起了我童年的回忆。)” 可知,最近,作者在乡下看到一个旧牛奶盒,使作者想起了童年时牛奶工送奶到家的场景。所以作者把一个旧牛奶盒带回家是因为他怀念过去的美好时光。故选A项。

The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created — I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day.
I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won’t make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my Vocabulary!
8. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise
A. Create memorable experiences. B. Make progress with hard work.
C. Learning words instead of watching TV. D. Combine study with entertainment.
9. What are you doing when you “water your plants”
A. Logging on to the application. B. Being a Memrise user.
C. Practising the vocabulary. D. Moving words to your garden.
10. How does Memrise work
A. By linking different mems together. B. By putting knowledge into practice.
C. By offering human translation services. D. By applying an associative memory approach.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uninterested. D. Negative.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一个学习外语的好帮手——Memrise。它是一款手机应用软件,旨在帮助使用者记单词。其寓教于乐的学习方式很受作者的喜爱。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。题干中的关键信息是Ed Cooke,由此可定位到文章的第二段,根据该段中的Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’re trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”可知,Ed Cooke创造Memrise的初衷就是使学习外语单词不再枯燥乏味,他们尝试用寓教于乐的学习方式让使用者更好地学习单词。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据题干中的water your plants在文章中出现过两次,所以要知道其真正含义应该仔细阅读原文中第一次出现这些词语的地方,即第三段中的Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”.可知,Memrise会给你一些“种子”(单词)让你学习,当你练习这些单词的时候,你就是在给你的“花园”里的“指物”(单词)“浇水”,所以这里“浇灌植物”指的是“学习新单词”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。题干问的是Memrise的运行模式,因此可定位到第四段中的The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind.及作者举的例子可知,该软件通过联想记忆的方法帮助使用者记单词。故选D。
【11题详解】
观点态度题。该题问的是作者的态度,因此应该从文章中寻找作者使用该软件后的心得、体会。从第一段中的Thanks to Memrise, the application I’m using. It feels just like a game.及最后一段中的I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise.可知,作者通过Memrise学会了很多单词,而且学习的过程也充满了乐趣,所以他对该软件的态度是认可的。故选B。
D
People tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods of preparation, preservation techniques (技巧), and types of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Nations or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people associate Italy with pizza and pasta (意大利面食). Yet Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families in the United States prefer to eat “meat and potatoes,” but “meat and potatoes” are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.
Regional food habits do exist but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations, bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported from other countries. Approximately (大约) 80 percent of Samoa’s food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or Australia. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
Even the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to limit conversation during a meal.
Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.
12. What can be learned about Italians’ eating habits
A. They differ from region to region. B. They center on meat and potatoes.
C. They mainly consist of pizza and pasta. D. They are similar to American eating habits.
13. What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa
A. People are forming new food preferences.
B. People can’t be simply defined by their food.
C. People don’t have the same food requirements.
D. People are developing a liking for international food.
14. What does the underlined part “catch up on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Learn about. B. Make up for.
C. Continue with. D. Make a difference to.
15. What advice is given in the last paragraph
A. Expression of friendship should be appropriate.
B. Awareness of food cultures should be developed.
C. Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.
D. Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了不同种族、不同背景的人有不同的饮食文化,并举例进行了说明。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region.(然而,意大利人还吃很多其他的食物,意大利各地的面食种类也各不相同。一个国家的烹饪方法和食物种类因地区而异)”可知,不同地区的意大利人饮食习惯各不相同。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.(因为人和食物是流动的,试图通过一个国家或人民的饮食来描述他们的特征往往是不准确的)”可知,作者举Samoa的例子是为了说明人们不能单纯以饮食定义一个国家或种族。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the lives of family and friends”以及“Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to limit conversation during a meal.(在其他家庭中,吃饭时聊天是可以接受的,但谈话的话题是有限的。在一些东南亚国家,吃饭时限制谈话被认为是礼貌的行为)”可知,吃饭的时候与家人朋友交流以“了解”他们的近况。故画线词的意思是“了解”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.(世界各地的饮食传统差异很大。然而,在世界上大多数地方,食物与热情好客和友谊的表达联系在一起。因此,对饮食规则和习俗的敏感对于建立和加强跨文化关系很重要)”可知,作者认为饮食是建立友谊的一座桥梁,所以我们要有一定的饮食文化意识,了解不同的饮食文化。故选B。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lee took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When his lungs felt comfortable, he dived beneath the water. Looking up, he could see the bright sun shining on the water’s surface. “Soon,” Lee thought, “I shall be able to hold my breath as long as David. Then I, too, shall be able to dive for pearls.”
With lungs burning, he quickly surfaced and gasped(喘气) for breath. Lee was small for his twelve years, and he hated being treated as a child. David, his old brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Lee’s age.
Now, every day as the sun warmed the bay, David and the other young men went out to dive for oysters (牡蛎). With luck, there would be pearls in many of them. Many times Lee begged to go along, but David always refused.
So every day Lee would go to the shallow water to practice. With each day’s effort, his diving improved and he felt much at home in the water. “Tomorrow I shall challenge David.” Lee decided. The next morning, Lee rose early, hurrying to catch up with David, who was already on the beach. “David, wait!” called Lee.
The group of men around David grew quiet. Lee continued, “David, I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can. If I win, I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side. ”
The men of the village gasped (倒抽气) and began to laugh. David looked amused, “And what if when you lose ”
“I will not lose!” He took a breath, “But if I should, I promise not to ask to go with you for a full year! The men of the village are here to judge. ”
Hearing this, David looked surprised.

【答案】But with all of his friends looking on, David had no choice but to agree. They soon reached the bay. The whistle blew and the contest began. After a deep breath, they both dived into the waves. As seconds passed, Lee could feel his lung burning, but his desire to win gave him an extra burst of energy. He cast a glance at his brother, who seemed to gather the last strength to hold his breath. Lee suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Without thinking, Lee kicked his feet and rose to the surface a second before David. The men around them cheered, while David patted Lee and announced “Today we shall have a new diver.”
