After the first half-day of kindergarten, Abe had something on his mind. His mum, Ricki Weisberg, had made him a sandwich for lunch but Abe wasn’t having it. It was not a good sandwich. So after he stepped off the school bus, he said, “Mommy. Terrible sandwich by the way. Really terrible.”
The honest exchange between Abe and his mum was recorded on video by Weisberg. Weisberg shared it online and it became a hit and brought a lot of laughter to so many people. “It makes me happy because of the gaiety it probably brought to people,” said Weisberg. “For me, I just love that piece of that. Life is hard. So giving people laughter makes me happy.”
But most people just wanted to know one thing: What was the sandwich
Well, the “terrible” sandwich was a hurried, thrown-together butter and jelly sandwich, said Weisberg. On Abe’s first day, Weisberg reread the school communication and realized she would need to pack him food. At first, Weisberg thought she could make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But because of food allergy (过敏) considerations at the school, peanut butter was out of the question. So she made him a butter and jelly sandwich.
Weisberg said, “I thought I made a good sandwich and I was being a good mum, so I was just expecting him to be happy. I was quite surprised when he hit me with that sandwich review.”
The butter, Weisberg would later find out, had gone bad. The sandwich tasted really terrible. “It’s really hard being a mum. You never really know if you’re doing it right. I just want to encourage parents to build that level of trust with your kids so they can be honest with you,” said Weisberg.
24.What does the underlined word “gaiety” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Confusion. B.Challenge. C.Awkwardness. D.Joy.
25.Why didn’t Weisberg make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that day
A.Peanut butter wasn’t allowed in kindergarten. B.She wanted to make something different.
C.Her son didn’t like peanut butter. D.Her son had an allergy to peanut.

Peru is a South American country and it has 1.2 million square kilometres, 32 million people. Peru has a variety of climates, cultures, customs, a splendid history, etc. It is divided into 25 regions. Some regions still continue to suffer poverty because of mismanagement of the country’s resources by the government.
However, in urban areas the job opportunities are very rich. The economic growth and private investments have risen over the years: it has created more jobs and a better lifestyle for Peruvian people. In some regions of Peru, tourism is the first source of income. There are many opportunities for those who want to work by doing handicrafts, painting, traditional jewelry and other art jobs.
Peru has very friendly, warm and attentive people. You will find plenty of touristic attractions throughout the country as well as diverse climates. The Peruvian food is known for its good taste and variety. Peru is an old and traditional country. Throughout the year Peruvians celebrate many festivals like the Corpus Christy, Easter, Fest of San Juan and many others.
To move in, you should hire a moving company. Remember, Peruvian moving companies know what to do; your belongings will arrive in good conditions. They usually use trucks and the moving costs vary according to the number of workers, and the amount of fuel and boxes used. So you need to provide information to the movers about the number, size and fragility of your belongings. Talk with the moving company. Ask them about the packing process. Also, ask them if they offer some type of insurance in case an object is damaged during the trip.
Moving to Peru can be a great experience. Once you have finished the whole moving process, you can plan to visit each region of this country where you can find many different touristic attractions.

Capentes is a waste picker. She collects bags of separated garbage, placing food waste in one container. This material will be turned into compost (堆肥) at the local recycling facility. The rest of the waste goes into separate containers. The recyclable materials are later sold.
The Mother Earth Foundation in the Philippines is a member of the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, called GAIA. The organization wants to prevent food waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场). Food waste gives off methane (甲烷) gas as it breaks down. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane traps more heat than carbon dioxide. But it does not stay in the atmosphere nearly as long—around 12 years compared with hundreds of years.
GAIA says preventing organic waste from going to landfills or being burned is a proven and cost-effective climate solution. The environmental organization supports its members, including waste pickers, around the world. GAIA is working with governments to set up systems to separate and collect organic waste and establish facilities to compost it.
At a materials recycling facility in Malabon, organic waste collected from households is turned into compost. This material then goes into a community garden to grow vegetables. Some of the food waste is broken down into biogas. This biogas is then used to cook vegetables for waste workers to eat. It is a complete cycle, said Froilan Grate, chief of GAIA Asia Pacific, based in Manila.
Grate said there are challenges in establishing these systems in new places. It costs money to set up a facility for composting. People, including local officials, have to be educated on the importance of separating waste. Containers have to be provided to households that cannot buy more than one. And sometimes separating organic waste is not thought to be important. Also, unlike recyclables and metals, there is not a large market for organic materials. Therefore, waste workers must be paid for the system to work.
But Grate believes these problems can be solved. More people are making the connection between reducing methane and fighting climate change. The world needs better systems for dealing with waste because the current methods are adding to warming. The treatment of organic matter is an important way to reduce methane gas.
32.What is GAIA currently committed to
A.Getting rid of food waste by burying it. B.Reducing the impact of organic waste on the climate.
C.Economizing on food. D.Reducing the harm of carbon dioxide.
33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A.The method to collect waste. B.The process to treat organic waste.
C.How to use a recycling facility. D.The wide use of organic waste.
34.Which statement supports the challenge Grate mentioned
A.Collecting organic waste does not require significant investment.
B.Every household needs to constantly replace the latest trash cans.
C.Organic waste holds a large share in the garbage market.
D.Families need to develop the habit of garbage sorting.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.Methane: an Important Greenhouse Gas B.The New Systems to Reduce Greenhouse Gas
C.The New Uses of Organic Waste D.Waste Pickers Help Fight Climate Change

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I will never forget that day with a woman and her beautiful singing. Several years ago, at a medical laboratory clinic in Waterloo, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair singing the tune “My Heart Will Go on”, a song familiar to many people. She sent her sweet voice exploding into every corner of the clinic with little effort.
I was there with my father when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my father. Because she was so tiny, she had to sit on the edge of the chair so her feet could touch the floor. It seemed as though she was sitting forward to start a conversation with him. I was concerned about how my father would react to the possible invasion (侵犯) of his space. He was 77 and had been living with Alzheimer’s disease for several years. This serious brain disorder has been torturing (折磨) my father these years. Since Alzheimer’s has a tendency to destroy a person’s patience, Dad had had a few challenging experiences in the past. I couldn’t help but think that this woman was playing with fire.
Her singing began gently. My father was staring right at her. I couldn’t read his expression, but it seemed to be something like confusion. I wondered whether he was actually looking at her or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind. Or maybe he was trying to discover whether this was someone he should know. That was what was happening now: no polite smile, no friendly nod. Just a stare. This lack of important acknowledgement didn’t stop the little woman one bit and her singing slowly got louder. Getting to the chorus, she was totally lost in her own singing with her eyes shut.
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。
Still, I watched for any signs of an outburst of anger. The woman smiled and said, “Thank you.”

第一节 应用文写作(满分15分)
One possible version:
Dear David,
I’m Li Hua. I am writing to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for your company in Sydney during the winter vacation.
Every time I recall the time I spent in Sydney, I couldn’t help thinking of you. Undoubtedly, I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself so much without you. To begin with, it was the comfortable accommodation and warm atmosphere that made me feel at home and enjoyable. Moreover, not only did you lead me to some scenic spots but also took me to taste all types of food in Sydney, which deepened my understanding of Australian culture.
I am sincerely inviting you to pay a visit to Nanyang next winter vacation.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
One possible version:
Still, I watched for any signs of an outburst of anger. But he didn’t show any signs of an explosion. Instead, his face softened and he was starting to look entertained. It seemed that my father enjoyed the woman’s singing comfortably and calmly. Then, he closed his eyes, too. His head nodded with the melody, and his body was in a relaxing position in his chair. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking at her. “That’s beautiful,” he said.
The woman smiled and said, “Thank you.” Maybe she seldom got others’ praise, for she was a little excited and moved. It was surprising that I had hardly heard my father praised others since he got Alzheimer’s disease. But perhaps this is the power of music. Music makes him calm and quiet. The woman’s fantastic singing clears all his sufferings away. It is likely to arouse my father’s deep memory and helps him recall some good time. People always like beautiful things, even Alzheimer s patients have no exception.

W: Most American university students study four years or more to get a college degree. During this time, they are called undergraduate students. When a student completes his course, he earns a bachelor’s degree that will help him find a job. Many students stay at university and work for a higher degree. Other students take a job for a few years, then they quit working, and they continue studying at the university. Those students work to earn higher degrees. They are called graduate students. Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study. They study to become experts in their field. They hope that when they get their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding interesting jobs with good salaries.
Graduate students are usually too busy studying. Often they have to pay high school fees. Some give up studying before they get their degrees. But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate. In today’s world, most graduates don’t regret spending time on studies. They are finding that things are changing fast. New development are occurring in all fields. For many, graduate study has become a necessity.
