“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK.
The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall.
“Many people wonder why I'm obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it's beautiful, and the second thing is that it's outdoors. There's history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it's fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William.
William's younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It's amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It's almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”
William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn't know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,”said William.
24. What do we know about William Lindesay
A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall.
B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986.
C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall.
D. He didn't climb the Great Wall in his teens.
25. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3
A. Reminded. B. Attracted. C. Struck. D. Buried.
26. Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To introduce their home's location.
B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall.
C. To describe the childhood of William's children.
D. To show the Great Wall's impact on William's children.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. William's sons will work in the film industry.
B. William has become a famous director for his film.
C. William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad.
D. William will work for the Chinese government in the future.

Groundhog(土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he'll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it's a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out—and spring will come soon.
“These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That's why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad.
“The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries.
These traditions don't protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don't solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Animals are cleverer than humans.
B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow.
C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed.
D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter.
29. What does the second paragraph talk about
A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world.
C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations.
30. Which is a benefit of these traditions
A. They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support.
C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the idea behind the traditions
A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain.
D
Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know ” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in down town West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She return s to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeep er with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流).“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It's a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
32. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.
33. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work.
C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report.
34. Why is Mazoleny mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To show the popularity of the bar. B. To stress the significance of work.
C. To give an example of healthy eating. D. To explain another reason for the phenomenon.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The tendency to having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection.
C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology.

When I started karate (空手道) class a few years ago, I didn't know a single person. I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part!
But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you're so good at it.”
“You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I'm not good at any of it.”
“In that case, I'm in trouble,” she joked, “because you're the one I stand behind and copy in class.”
I laughed, “Seriously ”
“Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail's mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time going to the karate class for a while after that because I missed Abigail so much.
Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation.
“It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said.
“So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).”
I suddenly realized she'd been silent only because she was new. We started talking more , and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate.
“This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here ”
“My mom's job in New York didn't work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.”
“That's the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.”
I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile.

Things seemed all right at first. However, with time going by, conflicts came out. Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. Trapped in the dilemma, I, surrounded by the sense of sadness, still felt confused why things turned out to be that troublesome, not knowing how to deal with the problem. Worse still, karate even became the most frightening thing to me.
One day, I simply could not stand it anymore. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I stopped them from arguing and said with a deep sigh, “Why can't you get along with each other well Both of you are my best friends.” Hearing my words, they didn't utter a single word, sinking into a deep silence. After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with unaccustomed affection around Abigail's shoulders. Seeing this scene, I took a breath with relief and burst into laughter.

Text 2
M: Hi, Helen. We need to prepare something for Sally's party, don't we
W: Yes. I've bought her a book. I was going to buy her flowers but they only last for a few days.
M: Yes, I thought about flowers, too, but then I thought she might need some new gloves for walking her dog.
Text 3
W: That was a good game! We almost won!
M: Yeah. We tried really hard. Now I'm tired and thirsty!
W:I'm thirsty, too. My mom just bought some orange juice. We can have some when we get back to my house.
M:That's a good idea!

W:I learned skating from my friends, but I didn't seem to improve. Should I take some classes
M: Well, when I started skating, I found a website with many videos showing people the best way to learn. That's what helped me. Maybe you can try that, too.
Text 5
M: So what should I improve
W:The home page is pretty good. It's clear and easy to follow, but you sometimes spend ages trying to search for something, which is really annoying. The menu is quite user-friendly though.
Text 6
M: Hi Sandy! How's your job
W: It's great. I don't make much money but I'm not doing it for the money really, and the work is quite easy. Also, I work with my two best friends, so we have a lot of fun.
M: Great! You need to enjoy the money you make as well. Why don't we go away for a few days in the summer and see if some of our friends want to come with us, too
W: OK. Let's send messages to them.

W: What achievement did you make
M: The sales have grown greatly. I was the sales champion for four years.
W: So why did you quit your job
M: It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow there and I'm looking for new opportunities.

W: Don't worry. I can invite a friend of mine.

W: Hello, Broom Cupboard Real Estate. How can I help you
M: Hey, I'm looking for an apartment for rent.
W: Do you know which area you'd like to live in

W: Well, around 800 to 1,200 a month. Are you alone or with your friend
M: It's not as cheap as I thought. I'll be sharing it with a friend. He prefers a place without too much noise.
W: There's one just right for you. Anything else
M:Oh, I need a place with free parking. Could you tell me something about the apartment
W:The living room is nice and bright. The bedrooms and the kitchen are large. The problem is that the car parking lots are limited.

A good trip always requires proper planning. Today, I'm going to share with you about some places you must visit during your first trip to New York City. On the first day, if you want to see the best view of the city, I recommend Top of the Rock. The ticket starts at $40. You could also go to a rooftop bar to enjoy some drinks. If you're a night owl, I recommend going to Times Square before midnight. There you could see the world's largest digital art display. On the second day, we're going to Central Park. It's world-famous, so you can't miss it. You can go fishing and visit the Conservatory Garden. At Sheep Meadow, we are able to have a picnic. On the last day, walking around Greenwich Village and West Village in Manhattan is a requirement. Try some coffee at Porto Rico Importing Co. Washington Square Park is also a good place to relax and enjoy live music. If you like books, Three Lives & Company is a good choice. That's all about our trip.

“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK.
The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall.
“Many people wonder why I'm obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it's beautiful, and the second thing is that it's outdoors. There's history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it's fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William.
William's younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It's amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It's almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”
William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn't know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,”said William.
24. What do we know about William Lindesay
A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall.
B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986.
C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall.
D. He didn't climb the Great Wall in his teens.
25. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3
A. Reminded. B. Attracted. C. Struck. D. Buried.
26. Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To introduce their home's location.
B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall.
C. To describe the childhood of William's children.
D. To show the Great Wall's impact on William's children.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. William's sons will work in the film industry.
B. William has become a famous director for his film.
C. William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad.
D. William will work for the Chinese government in the future.

Groundhog(土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he'll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it's a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out—and spring will come soon.
“These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That's why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad.
“The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries.
These traditions don't protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don't solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Animals are cleverer than humans.
B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow.
C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed.
D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter.
29. What does the second paragraph talk about
A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world.
C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations.
30. Which is a benefit of these traditions
A. They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support.
C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the idea behind the traditions
A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain.
D
Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know ” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in down town West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She return s to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeep er with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流).“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It's a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
32. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.
33. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work.
C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report.
34. Why is Mazoleny mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To show the popularity of the bar. B. To stress the significance of work.
C. To give an example of healthy eating. D. To explain another reason for the phenomenon.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The tendency to having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection.
C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology.

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。
When I started karate (空手道) class a few years ago, I didn't know a single person. I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part!
But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you're so good at it.”
“You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I'm not good at any of it.”
“In that case, I'm in trouble,” she joked, “because you're the one I stand behind and copy in class.”
I laughed, “Seriously ”
“Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail's mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time going to the karate class for a while after that because I missed Abigail so much.
Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation.
“It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said.
“So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).”
I suddenly realized she'd been silent only because she was new. We started talking more , and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate.
“This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here ”
“My mom's job in New York didn't work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.”
“That's the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.”
I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile.
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。
Things seemed all right at first.
One day, I simply could not stand it anymore.

读后续写
Things seemed all right at first. However, with time going by, conflicts came out. Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. Trapped in the dilemma, I, surrounded by the sense of sadness, still felt confused why things turned out to be that troublesome, not knowing how to deal with the problem. Worse still, karate even became the most frightening thing to me.
One day, I simply could not stand it anymore. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I stopped them from arguing and said with a deep sigh, “Why can't you get along with each other well Both of you are my best friends.” Hearing my words, they didn't utter a single word, sinking into a deep silence. After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with unaccustomed affection around Abigail's shoulders. Seeing this scene, I took a breath with relief and burst into laughter.

A good trip always requires proper planning. Today, I'm going to share with you about some places you must visit during your first trip to New York City. On the first day, if you want to see the best view of the city, I recommend Top of the Rock. The ticket starts at $40. You could also go to a rooftop bar to enjoy some drinks. If you're a night owl, I recommend going to Times Square before midnight. There you could see the world's largest digital art display. On the second day, we're going to Central Park. It's world-famous, so you can't miss it. You can go fishing and visit the Conservatory Garden. At Sheep Meadow, we are able to have a picnic. On the last day, walking around Greenwich Village and West Village in Manhattan is a requirement. Try some coffee at Porto Rico Importing Co. Washington Square Park is also a good place to relax and enjoy live music. If you like books, Three Lives & Company is a good choice. That's all about our trip.
