The Future Stars
General Introduction
The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality child care in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations.
A healthy curiosity for learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most critical time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling.
Hours of Operation
Child care will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for holidays). Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arises, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival; not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.
Parking
Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas, Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle.
Tuition (学费)
When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child.
The weekly tuition fee is $98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $25.00 late fee.

B
Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After they introduced the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, he was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of the marching band. He and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and performances. His father rolls his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick’s fans.
But it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul deeper. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability, the musical gifts I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
36. What can we know from the text
A. Patrick is now in charge of a marching band.
B. My friends told me the performance would be very special.
C. Patrick showed a gift of music at an early age.
D. Patrick played the piano much better than he sang.
37. According to the text, Patrick’s father ________.
A. taught Patrick to sing and play the piano
B. accompanied him to attend classes and practices
C. expected his son to be a great musician and singer
D. has become the leader of the marching band
38. What made the author most impressed
A. His attitude of gratitude. B. His working hard.
C. His wonderful performance. D. His unlucky fate.
39. The underlined word “blessed” in Paragraph 5 might be replaced by “________”.
A. unfortunate B. hopeful C. talkative D. lucky
40. The story of Patrick Henry Hughes teaches us to ________.
A. share our kindness with others B. develop an interest in music
C. study hard and realize our dream D. value what we have had
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者在一场表演中了解到了年轻音乐家Patrick Henry Hughes的事迹。他出生就没有眼睛,也无法行走,但上天给了他音乐天赋,他很感激自己能凭借这个天赋来认识人。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested.(在他一岁生日之前,他发现了钢琴。他的妈妈说:“我可以在钢琴上弹奏任何音符,一两次尝试,他就会弹出来。”到他两岁生日时,他可以根据要求演奏简单的歌曲。)”可知,Patrick很小的时候就显露出了音乐天赋。故选C。

细节理解题。根据第四段中的“His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s.(他的父亲和他一起上课,他几乎所有成绩都得A。)”和“They attend all the band practices and performances.(他们参加了所有的乐队练习和演出。)”可知,Patrick的父亲陪他一起上课和练习。故选B。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul deeper.(但正是Patrick的“感恩态度”更深地打动了我的灵魂。)”可知,最让作者印象深刻的是Patrick的“感恩态度”。故选A。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“He said, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability, the musical gifts I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”(他说:“上帝让我失明,无法行走。大不了!他给了我这种能力,即我拥有的音乐天赋……这是结识新朋友的绝佳机会。”)”可知,Patrick认为虽然自己天生失明并且无法行走,但他很感激上天让自己拥有音乐天赋,这种天赋给了他结识新朋友的机会,由此可推测出,他认为自己是幸运的。blessed意为“幸运的”,与lucky意思相近。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”(Patrick Henry Hughes出生时没有眼睛,关节僵硬,这使他终身残疾。然而,作为一个孩子,他安装了义眼,并被安置在轮椅上。在他一岁生日之前,他发现了钢琴。他的妈妈说:“我可以在钢琴上弹奏任何音符,一两次尝试,他就会弹出来。”到他两岁生日时,他可以根据要求演奏简单的歌曲。他的父亲很兴奋。“我们可能不打棒球,但我们可以一起演奏音乐。”)”和第五段“But it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul deeper. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability, the musical gifts I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”(但正是Patrick的“感恩态度”深深打动了我的灵魂。在舞台上,在歌曲间隙,他向观众讲述了他的生活,以及他是多么的幸运。他说:“上帝让我失明,无法行走。大不了!他给了我这种能力,即我拥有的音乐天赋……让我有机会结识新朋友。”)”可知,Patrick天生残疾,但很小的时候就展现了音乐天赋,他对自己的生活持感恩态度,积极看待生活,利用自己的音乐天赋来结识人。由此可推测,Patrick的故事告诉我们要珍惜我们所拥有的东西。故选D。
C
Eating out is such a pleasure-the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else — that it’s a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.
Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There’s nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez’s move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else’s opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life’s other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best—you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people- watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them-first date, business meeting, night out with friends-produce human behaviour of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor (投资者) Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive
This “human zoo” part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I’d hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn’t be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was “doing it right.”
So next time you’re considering your eating out choices remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: “The best number for a dinner party is two — myself and a super head waiter.”
41. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The reasons for eating out alone. B. The trouble with eating in public.
C. The suggestions about dining out. D. The fear of making dining choices.
42. What is the best part of dining out alone
A. One can fix one’s eyes on the food.
B. One can enjoy reading while eating.
C. One is likely to come across famous people.
D. One is given the chance to watch other diners.
43. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5
A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.
B Famous people are always the center of attention.
C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.
D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.
44. The underlined word “consequences” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. reasons B. results C. causes D. advantages
45. What is suggested at the end of the text
A. Dining with friends. B. Chatting over dinner.
C. Having a table for one. D. Sharing a table with a waiter.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. C

Ⅴ. 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup.
We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.
Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.
Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality.
I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food.
46. List at least two benefits of eating out according to the text. (No more than 15 words)
________________
47. What does the underlined word “option” most probably mean (1 word)
________________
48. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about (No more than 7 words)
________________
49. What advice is given concerning shopping for food in Paragraph 4 ( No more than 4 words)
________________
50. Do you like eating at home Give your own reasons. (No more than 25 words)
________________
【答案】46. The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends.
47. Choice./Selection./Alternative.
48. The advantages/benefits of eating at home.
49. Less quantity, more quality.
50. Yes I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐各自的好处,并对在家就餐购买食材给出一些建议。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. (有人为你的每一个需求服务的体验,有一种和朋友在餐馆里的社交体验,当然,还有一种不需要在家里做清理的巨大好处。)”可知,在外就餐的好处是服务员可以为你服务、可以和朋友待在一起、不必做清理工作。故答案为The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends.
【47题详解】
考查词句猜测。划线词句前文“We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life.(我们都知道在外面吃饭很贵,而且我很确定大学不是普通人生活中最赚钱的时期。)”说明大学生没钱在外面吃饭,常选择在家吃饭,从而推知划线词句“That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.(这就是为什么大多数时候在家吃饭真的是许多大学生的唯一选择。)”其中划线词应为“选择”的意思。故答案为Choice./Selection./Alternative。
【48题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food.(在家吃饭并不一定是枯燥、无聊或困难的。它可以也应该是一种充满活力、创造性的体验,改变你看待食物的方式。)”以及“Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.(把在家吃饭作为一个学习和发展你的厨房技能的机会,我向你保证,它们将在你的余生中是有用的和有益的。)”可知,本段主要介绍了在家吃饭的好处。故答案为The advantages/benefits of eating at home。
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. (另一个重要的概念是要记住,当谈到购买食物时——少数量,多质量。)”可知,本段关于购买食物给出的建议是数量要少,质量要高。故答案为Less quantity, more quality。
【50题详解】
考查阅读表达。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐的好处。根据问题,可以肯定在家吃饭的好处。表示自己喜欢在家吃饭,因为在家吃饭对我们的健康更有益,自己做饭可以保持食材的健康和清洁。故答案为Yes, I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean。

The Future Stars
General Introduction
The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality child care in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations.
A healthy curiosity for learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most critical time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling.
Hours of Operation
Child care will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for holidays). Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arises, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival; not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.
Parking
Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle.
Tuition (学费)
When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child.
The weekly tuition fee is $98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $25.00 late fee.
For more information, please call 434-293-6110 or visit at www..

Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After they introduced the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, he was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of the marching band. He and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and performances. His father rolls his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick’s fans.
But it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul deeper. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability, the musical gifts I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
36. What can we know from the text
A. Patrick is now in charge of a marching band.
B. My friends told me the performance would be very special.
C. Patrick showed a gift of music at an early age.
D. Patrick played the piano much better than he sang.
37. According to the text, Patrick’s father ________.
A. taught Patrick to sing and play the piano
B. accompanied him to attend classes and practices
C. expected his son to be a great musician and singer
D. has become the leader of the marching band
38. What made the author most impressed
A. His attitude of gratitude. B. His working hard.
C. His wonderful performance. D. His unlucky fate.
39. The underlined word “blessed” in Paragraph 5 might be replaced by “________”.

40. The story of Patrick Henry Hughes teaches us to ________.
A. share our kindness with others B. develop an interest in music

Eating out is such a pleasure-the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else — that it’s a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.
Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There’s nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez’s move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else’s opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life’s other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best—you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people- watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them-first date, business meeting, night out with friends-produce human behaviour of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor (投资者) Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive
This “human zoo” part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I’d hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn’t be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was “doing it right.”
So next time you’re considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: “The best number for a dinner party is two — myself and a super head waiter.”

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup.
We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.
Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.
Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality.
I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food.
