People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs. The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment (承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.
Everyone at a wedding hopes for great happiness between the wedding couple. Wedding traditions are usually a way of showing signs of the hope for great happiness. Some of these traditions are very interesting.

C
We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered (喷溅出) “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed, I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to
work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
28．The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to _________.
A．enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town
B．find out how many ways lead to the square
C．inspire her to find out another way to solve her problem
D．help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day
29．What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day
A．Do something delicious for lunch.
B．Taste her awful lunch.
C．Dismiss the mad cook.
D．Speak to the school about lunch.
30．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that_________.
A．the cook agreed to serve the soup to the writer’s mother.
B．the author’s mother was angry with the cook.
C．her father persuaded her mother successfully.
D．the method the author thought of was effective.
31．What did the author’s mother think of her lunch soup after she tasted it
A．It was delicious. B．It wasn’t so bad as the author said.
C．It is terrible. D．It was as good as her cook did.
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文为记叙文。父亲带我去教堂顶部，让我看下面的路，原来有很多的路都通向同一个广场，以此来比喻在生活中有很多不一样的道路，当我们用一种方法不能成功的时候，请转换思维使用另外一种方法。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段““See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”(“看，亲爱的，”父亲轻轻地说，“到广场的路不止一条。生活就是这样。如果一条路到不了想去的地方，那就试着走另一条路。”)可知，作者的父亲把她带到一座教堂的塔顶，激励她去寻找另一种方法来解决她的问题，故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful(糟糕的) lunches that were served at school.(那天早些时候，我请求母亲为学校提供的难吃的午餐做点什么。)”可知，作者想让她妈妈跟学校谈谈午餐的事。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第五段“At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon (午餐) soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly(第二天到了学校，我偷偷地把午餐汤倒进瓶子里，带回家。然后我让厨师在晚饭时端给妈妈吃。这个计划很成功)”可知划线的句子“Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day（母亲断然表示第二天就去学校就午餐问题提出交涉）”表明作者所想到的方法是有效的。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered (喷溅出). “The cook must have gone mad!””（她喝了一勺汤，然后喷溅出来。“厨师一定疯了！”）可知，母亲喝了一勺学校的汤，然后喷溅出来，认为厨师一定疯了，由此可知，作者的母亲尝过午餐汤后，觉得汤是很糟糕的。故选C。
D
An earthquake is literally an earth-shattering experience! There you are enjoying an afternoon nap, having a cup of coffee in the morning, or even sleeping on a cold winter night when — WHAM! —the entire crockery (陶器) shelf collapses, and all the plates and cups break into pieces. A painting on the wall nearly knocks you down as it falls.
What should one do in an earthquake The prime-time (黄金时间的) news gives no warning, nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon (季风) season,when an earthquake always occurs. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, there is no known way of predicting an earthquake.
Though about 500,000 earthquakes occur each year, only 100 of them cause damage! However, an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night, so it needs to be prepared for when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one.
If you’ re indoors, stay indoors, unless you’re on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside. The best thing to do if you’ re indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a bed or desk. Do not head for the stairway if you’ re living on an upper storey, because stairways can collapse.
If you’ re driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. Before you restart driving, look out for fissures (裂缝), breaks in the road, and bumps or cracks. Inside your home, be careful not to turn on the gas until you’ re sure the cylinder (气罐) is safe, and there is no leak.
Avoid using your telephone unless there’ s an emergency. You could be occupying lines that are needed by other people. Lastly, if you’re not trapped or seriously hurt, do not expect fire fighters, army or police to help you. They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you!
32．What does the underlined word “collapses” mean in the first paragraph
A．Breaks out. B．Falls down.
C．Cuts down. D．Drops out.
33．From the second paragraph we learn that .
A．Monsoons usually come at certain time of the year
B．There are no known ways to predict hurricanes
C．There are warning signs before earthquakes strike
D．A tornado can come at any time, and is hard to predict
34．What should you do if you are on the first floor of a building
A．Stay inside.
B．Head for a stairway.
C．Run outside immediately.
D．Hide under a strong piece of furniture.
35．What does the passage mainly tell us about
A．How to predict earthquakes.
B．What to do during an earthquake.
C．The damage an earthquake can cause.
D．The factors that cause an earthquake.
【答案】32．B 33．A 34．C 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了发生地震时应该做什么。
词句猜测题。根据下文“and all the plates and cups break into pieces.(所有的盘子和杯
子都摔成了碎片。)”可知，此处指发生地震时，整个放陶瓷的架子倒塌了，collapses意为“倒塌”，和B项：falls down(突然倒下)意思接近。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“... nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon season,…(……也不会像季风季节那样，在一年中有一个固定的时间……)”可知，从第二段我们可以了解到季风通常发生在一年中特定的时间。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If you’ re indoors, stay indoors, unless you’re on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside.(如果你在室内，就呆在室内，除非你在一楼，在那里你可以很容易地跑去外面。)”可知，如果你在一楼，最好立刻跑到户外。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“What should one do in an earthquake (在地震中人们应该做什么？)”可知，文章主要讲述了发生地震时应该做什么。故选B。

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Lunchtime Naps in China
In China, lunchtime naps (小睡) are a must. Typical Chinese 56 ( company) generally take much longer to eat lunch, after which, you will see staff 57 (sit) around for a bit longer, checking their WeChat Moments, Weibo or chatting with colleagues.
Don’t bother your Chinese coworkers between 12 pm to 2 pm that’s 58 (they) precious “me time”. Of course, these times may not be 59 (suit) for everyone working in China. Some companies will use 12 pm to 1:30 pm or 12 pm to 1 pm as nap time.
The Chinese view napping not only 60 a time honored tradition for stress relief but also as a way to improve work efficiency in the afternoon. Once a person has eaten a meal, the stomach begins its digestive (消化的) process, 61 will naturally tire us. This is 62 (special) true in the summer. So, 63 power nap is necessary.
Regardless of its human biological benefits, naps are rooted in Chinese culture. Chinese school periods usually end around 4 pm or 5 pm, sometimes even 6 pm. This makes lunchtime naps all the most important so students can have as much energy as needed 64 ( get) through the rest of the day.
Over the years, most Chinese 65 (train) themselves to take a nap after lunch wherever possible. To show you how they’ve become good at taking naps, Internet users have posted a collection of photos of lunchtime nappers. You have to appreciate the creativity and the lengths people will go to for their nap.
【答案】
56．companies 57．sitting 58．their 59．suitable 60．as 61．which 62．specially 63．a 64．to get 65．have trained
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国人的午休习惯。
56．考查名词。句意：典型的中国公司通常会花更长的时间吃午饭，吃完午饭后，你会看到员工坐得更久，查看微信朋友圈、微博或与同事聊天。可数名词company作主语，结合句意和谓语动词take形式可知，主语是复数名词。故填companies。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：典型的中国公司通常会花更长的时间吃午饭，吃完午饭后，你会看到员工坐得更久，查看微信朋友圈、微博或与同事聊天。see sb. doing...是固定搭配，意为“看见某人正在做……”，用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填sitting。
58．考查代词。句意：不要在12点到2点之间打扰你的中国同事，那是他们宝贵的“个人时间”。提示词作定语，用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
59．考查形容词。句意：当然，这些时间可能并不适合每个在中国工作的人。提示词作表语，用形容词suitable，意为“适合的”，表明主语these times的性质。故填suitable。
60．考查介词。句意：中国人认为午睡不仅是一种历史悠久的减压传统，也是提高下午工作效率的一种方式。view...as...是固定搭配，意为“认为……是……；把……看作……”。故填as。
61．考查定语从句。句意：一旦一个人吃完饭，胃就开始了它的消化过程，这自然会让
我们感到疲倦。分析句子可知，空格单词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词digestive (消化的) process，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
62．考查副词。句意：在夏天尤其如此。提示词修饰形容词true，用副词specially作状语，意为“尤其”。故填specially。
63．考查冠词。句意：所以，打个盹是必要的。可数名词nap在句中表示“一次小睡”，泛指，power发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：这使得午休变得尤为重要，这样学生们就可以有足够的精力度过一天的剩余时间。根据句意，“(get) through the rest of the day”是“have as much energy as needed”的目的目的，用不定式作目的状语。故填to get。
65．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：多年来，大多数中国人都训练自己在午饭后尽可能打个盹。分析句子可知，train(训练)是句中谓语动词，与主语most Chinese之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语Over the years，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，复数形式。故填have trained。

67．读后续写
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where you only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids. She was talking on the phone, and her voice told me she was a gentle and patient lady. The two kids were neatly dressed and waited quietly beside her. This must be a nice family, I thought to myself. Therefore, I approached to make a request. But as soon as I said, “Excuse me madam,” she grabbed both her kids and went away. Did I look like someone trying to hurt people I felt my heart sinking horribly.
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I didn’t know why but I just stopped him and made my request. I was expecting him to rush past but he immediately called the number of my driver and waited till my car came to be sure I was picked up, turned around before I could thank him adequately and was gone. Surprised by his kindness, I promised I would do likewise to strangers who sought my help.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者试图在繁华的街道上向人求助，看人们会有什么反应。结果女店员、少年以及一位年轻的母亲和她的两个孩子都先后拒绝了作者的求助，但是一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人注意到了作者，帮作者拨打了电话，作者还没来得及好好感谢他，他就转身走了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，我看到一位年轻的母亲和她的两个孩子”和第二段首句“最后，一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人似乎注意到了我”可知，第一段可描写作者向这位母亲求助结果被拒绝，该段段尾可衔接第二段内容。
②由第二段首句内容“最后，一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人似乎注意到了我。”可知，第二段可描写穿着简陋的男人帮助了作者，而作者还没来得及好好感谢他，他就转身走了，而作者也想把这样的善意继续传递下去。
2.续写线索：发现母子三人——想要求助——被拒绝——被男人注意到——男人提供帮助——司机来接作者——作者感悟

People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs. The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment (承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.
Everyone at a wedding hopes for great happiness between the wedding couple. Wedding traditions are usually a way of showing signs of the hope for great happiness. Some of these traditions are very interesting.
In Sweden, the traditional bride will wear three rings by the end of the wedding ceremony. The first is the engagement (订婚) ring that she entered the ceremony with. The second, the wedding ring, is added to the first. A final ring, however, is added as well. This ring is known as the “motherhood” ring. This is said to show that marriage is about more than just love. It is about building a family.
Wedding traditions in the Philippines, a dance which can last for hours. During the Philippines, guests pin (用大头针别住) money to the bride’s dress to pay for their honeymoon.
A traditional Irish bride may wear a blue wedding dress — believing blue to be a lucky color. English Lavender (薰衣草) is often mixed with her wedding flowers. It is traditional for the bride to braid her hair (梳头发) — as it is considered a good way to bring luck to the new couple.
There are many wedding traditions around the world which may differ from what they
are used to, but if you are about to plan a wedding, you may find it interesting to include some of these traditions in your own wedding.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered (喷溅出) “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed, I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
28．The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to _________.
A．enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town
B．find out how many ways lead to the square
C．inspire her to find out another way to solve her problem
D．help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day
29．What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day
A．Do something delicious for lunch.
B．Taste her awful lunch.
C．Dismiss the mad cook.
D．Speak to the school about lunch.
30．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that_________.
A．the cook agreed to serve the soup to the writer’s mother.
B．the author’s mother was angry with the cook.
C．her father persuaded her mother successfully.
D．the method the author thought of was effective.
31．What did the author’s mother think of her lunch soup after she tasted it
A．It was delicious. B．It wasn’t so bad as the author said.
C．It is terrible. D．It was as good as her cook did.

An earthquake is literally an earth-shattering experience! There you are enjoying an afternoon nap, having a cup of coffee in the morning, or even sleeping on a cold winter night
when — WHAM! —the entire crockery (陶器) shelf collapses, and all the plates and cups break into pieces. A painting on the wall nearly knocks you down as it falls.
What should one do in an earthquake The prime-time (黄金时间的) news gives no warning, nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon (季风) season,when an earthquake always occurs. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, there is no known way of predicting an earthquake.
Though about 500,000 earthquakes occur each year, only 100 of them cause damage! However, an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night, so it needs to be prepared for when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one.
If you’ re indoors, stay indoors, unless you’re on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside. The best thing to do if you’ re indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a bed or desk. Do not head for the stairway if you’ re living on an upper storey, because stairways can collapse.
If you’ re driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. Before you restart driving, look out for fissures (裂缝), breaks in the road, and bumps or cracks. Inside your home, be careful not to turn on the gas until you’ re sure the cylinder (气罐) is safe, and there is no leak.
Avoid using your telephone unless there’ s an emergency. You could be occupying lines that are needed by other people. Lastly, if you’re not trapped or seriously hurt, do not expect fire fighters, army or police to help you. They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you!

In China, lunchtime naps (小睡) are a must. Typical Chinese 56 ( company) generally take much longer to eat lunch, after which, you will see staff 57 (sit) around for a bit longer, checking their WeChat Moments, Weibo or chatting with colleagues.
Don’t bother your Chinese coworkers between 12 pm to 2 pm that’s 58 (they) precious “me time”. Of course, these times may not be 59 (suit) for everyone working in China. Some companies will use 12 pm to 1:30 pm or 12 pm to 1 pm as nap time.
The Chinese view napping not only 60 a time honored tradition for stress relief but also as a way to improve work efficiency in the afternoon. Once a person has eaten a meal, the stomach begins its digestive (消化的) process, 61 will naturally tire us. This is
62 (special) true in the summer. So, 63 power nap is necessary.
Regardless of its human biological benefits, naps are rooted in Chinese culture. Chinese school periods usually end around 4 pm or 5 pm, sometimes even 6 pm. This makes lunchtime naps all the most important so students can have as much energy as needed 64 ( get) through the rest of the day.
Over the years, most Chinese 65 (train) themselves to take a nap after lunch wherever possible. To show you how they’ve become good at taking naps, Internet users have posted a collection of photos of lunchtime nappers. You have to appreciate the creativity and the lengths people will go to for their nap.

67．读后续写
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where you only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
