I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick It could truly be our family s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter died last September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to have dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout(外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom to cook Easter dinner together with me. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love—just like Peter would have wanted.
24.What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come
A.To go out to have dinner.
B.To order pizza.
C.To show off his cooking skills.
D.To cook a big dinner for his family.
25.What does the text tell us
A.The Easter dinner was the family s last dinner.
B.Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner.
C.Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love.
D.Their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure.
26.What does the author mean by saying “I d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4
A.She wasn t confident about cooking the Easter dinner.
B.She was not able to eat a lot of food.
C.The Easter dinner made her sick.
D.She couldn t cook the dinner alone.
27.What can be the best title for the text
A.Cooking in the Kitchen
B.Filling Peter s Shoes
C.Happy Easter Day
D.Terrible Cooks

An annoying brother or sister may break your toys, but he or she may help you when you are in trouble. A new study suggests that younger siblings might be good for your health.
Children who didn t welcome a baby brother or sister to the family before first grade had almost three times the likelihood of obesity compared with kids who experienced the birth of a sibling when they were around 3 to 4 years old, the study found.
“It is possibly because when there is a younger sibling in the family, a child might become more active—for example, running around more with their younger sibling,” said Julie Lumeng, a public health researcher at the University of Michigan.
“Maybe families are more likely to take the kids to the park when there is a younger sibling, or maybe the child is less likely to sit or watch TV when there is a younger sibling to ask them to join more active pretend play,” she added.
Mealtimes might also be different with a second kid at the table. Parents of an only child can often focus too much on what their kid eats, which can lead to bad eating habits, some previous research suggests.
“When parents use restrictive or pressure-to-eat feeding practices, children have an increased risk of being overweight,” said Jerica Berge, a researcher at the University of Minnesota.
“When a new child is introduced, parents may relax their focus on the older child s eating behaviors, making it possible for the older child to self-regulate their eating,” said Berge. “This self-regulation may lead to a healthier weight for the child with a sibling.”
For their study, Lumeng and colleagues followed 697 US children from birth through age 6. However, the authors acknowledged that their study lacked objectively measured birth weights and information on events such as a divorce, a move or a job loss in the family—all of which can influence the odds of children becoming obese.

28.How can an only child become, compared to children with younger siblings
A.Overweight. B.Selfish.
C.Healthier. D.Careful.
29.How can children change when they have a younger sibling
A.They may refuse to play at home.
B.They may have more physical activities.
C.They may feel annoyed and unhappy.
D.They may spend more time with their parents.
30.For parents, which of the following can be good for their children s health
A.Paying more attention to kids eating habits.
B.Using some restrictive feeding practices.
C.Allowing kids to control their eating.
D.Letting the older child regulate the diet of the younger child.
31.Where can we read this passage
A.On TV. B.On the Internet.
C.On the radio. D.In the newspaper.

The secret of eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked years ago—by McDonald s. According to a new study from Cornell University s Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards—like the toys in McDonald s Happy Meals—stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does.
The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item.
They found that the majority of both kids and adults opted for a half-sized portion when the meal was combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same.
Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket, with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a tangible gift in persuading people to eat less.
“The fact that participants were willing to substitute the mere prospect of a relatively small monetary award for part of a food item is interesting,” says Reimann.
He theorizes that it is the emotional components of these intangible prizes that make them effective. In fact, vaguely-stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with hard odds included.
“One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally provoking than certain awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning prizes provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope—a state that is in itself psychologically rewarding.” In other words, there s a reason why people like to gamble.
How could this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily
One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant and make you eat a little less.
32.What do we learn about McDonald s inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals
A.It may shed light on people s desire to crack a secret.
B.It has proved to be key to McDonald s business success.
C.It leads kids to find out what is hidden inside.
D.It may be a pleasant way for kids to reduce their food intake.
33.What is the finding of the researchers led by Martin Reimann
A.Reducing food intake is not that difficult if people go to McDonald s more.
B.Most kids and adults don t actually feel hungry when they eat half of their meal.
C.Eating a smaller portion of food does good to the health of kids and adults alike.
D.Most kids and adults will choose a smaller meal that comes with a non-food item.
34.What is more interesting in Martin Reimann s finding
A.Kids preferred an award in the form of money to one in the form of a toy.
B.Adults chose the smaller portion on the mere promise of a future award.
C.Both kids and adults felt satisfied with only half of their meal portions.
D.Neither children nor adults could resist the temptation of a free toy.
35.What can we infer from Martin Reimann s finding
A.People should eat much less if they wish to stay healthy and happy.
B.More fast food restaurants are likely to follow McDonald s example.
C.We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business.
D.More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion on behavior.

Are you confused about what to do next when you plan a birthday celebration for your loved family member or try to help your family prepare for birthdays 36 Here are some tips on birthday celebrations to get you started.

Find a meeting place. Many people like to hold their parties at home. 39 You can save a large amount of stress by finding a meeting place outside. Maybe an open park is good for a birthday party as long as it doesn t disturb the people around.
Invite a special guest. Birthdays are often more memorable than the rest. To ensure your loved one s party is special, besides gifts, think about someone you can invite and that your family member will be happy and surprised to see. 40 If you take time and care to plan or prepare for your family member s party, you can make her or his day extra special.

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。
A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签) and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(散开) presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill over from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but I thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother s handwriting.
“Mom, I can t...”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me.

37.A 主旨句。本段提到订购蛋糕比自己制作蛋糕更合适,A项(买一个特别的蛋糕)能概括本段内容,符合语境,适合作本段的主旨句。A项中的Buy是关键词,与下文中的ordering呼应,故选A。
38.F 细节句。上文“form a band”和“They can play as much music as you like.”提到了演奏音乐,F项中的live music是关键词,与上文是顺承关系,所以F项(你们所有人都将通过这种方式在现场音乐中享受自我)符合语境。故选F。
39.G 过渡句。上文“Many people like to hold their parties at home.”提到了在家中举行聚会,下文“You can save a large amount of stress by finding a meeting place outside.”提出在户外举行聚会的建议。G项(但不是每个人的房子都足够大,可以举办生日聚会)承接上文,对上文进行转折,指出在家中举行聚会的不便,同时引出下文在户外举行聚会的建议。G项承上启下,符合语境,其中But是关键词。故选G。
40.E 细节句。上文“think about someone you can invite and that your family member will be happy and surprised to see”提到了你可以邀请的人,E项中的a friend是关键词,与上文的someone呼应,所以E项(这个人可以是你的家人想见的一个朋友)承接上文,符合语境。故选E。

41.B 根据本段第一句及第二句中的“But”和“or with no home at all”可知,第二句是对第一句的转折,指的是还有很多孩子家庭贫困(poor),甚至没有家。
42.A 根据本段第一句可知蛋糕在庆祝生日时是一个很重要的部分;根据“They don t get to experience the...many of us take for granted.”可知,此处是说这些孩子无法感受这份我们习以为常的礼物(gifts),也就是蛋糕。故选A。B.好处;C.结果;D.问题。
43.D 根据本空所在句的前一句和空后的“chose to take action”可知,Kakes 4 Kids认识到(recognized)了这个问题,并且选择采取行动。故选D。A.预计;B.相信;C.支持。

47.C 根据后文的“we forget that it s a really...thing for kids”可推知,此处是说Becky认为成年人往往不那么重视、喜欢(enjoy)过生日,所以他们会忘记过生日对孩子们的意义。故选C。A.避免;B.建议;D.介意。
48.A 根据文章第一段第一句及最后一段可知,用生日蛋糕来庆祝生日对孩子们来说很重要,再结合本段中的“as adults, we often don t...celebrating our birthday so much”及“So we forget that it s a really...thing for kids, especially kids...”可知,此处是说庆祝生日对孩子们来说很重要(important)。故选A。B.个人的;C.熟悉的;D.压力大的。
49.C 根据文章第一段中的“But there are many kids from...families or with no home at all.”再结合整篇文章讲的Kakes 4 Kids为贫困家庭的孩子赠送生日蛋糕这件事可知,此处指“身处困境(in difficult situations)的孩子们”;根据本段中的“I think that...especially kids who are in...situations”可知,此处是说成年人常常不再享受自己的生日庆祝活动,所以就会忘记庆祝生日对于孩子们,尤其是身处困境的孩子们来说是一件非常重要的事。故选C。
50.A 根据本段中对Becky及志愿者如何为孩子们定制、寄送生日蛋糕的描述可知,本段是在讲赠送生日蛋糕的整个过程,所以此处指这个过程(process)非常简单。

54.A 根据本段中的“they can feel a sense of...and satisfaction”可知,设空处与空后的satisfaction并列作a sense of的宾语;根据空后的“when they see some photos of...children next to their cakes”再结合选项可推断A项(成就)符合语境,表示他们看到孩子们的照片后有一种成就感和满足感。
55.B 根据本段中的“they can feel a sense of...and satisfaction when they see some photos of...children next to their cakes”尤其是其中的“...and satisfaction”再结合Kakes 4 Kids给孩子们赠送生日蛋糕这件事推断孩子们是高兴的。四个选项中B项(兴奋的)最符合语境,此处表示当Kakes 4 Kids的志愿者们看到兴高采烈的孩子们与自己的蛋糕的合影时,他们就会有种成就感和满足感。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节日——端午节,介绍了关于其起源的传说和节日的习俗。

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
A Food Festival
In order to promote Chinese food culture and enrich students campus life, our school held a food festival in the dining room last Sunday.
During the activity, the cooks from our school introduced traditional styles of cooking and cooked many famous dishes like stinky tofu and Kung Pao Chicken. Many students also cooked in person with the help of the cooks.
All the students present spoke highly of this activity which let them have a better understanding of China s rich and profound food culture.
第二节
One possible version:
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother. I was stopped by my mother s eager, joyful look. “Let s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow-dryer. Though this might seem nothing but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was extremely surprised. In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom s selfless behavior was impossible to understand. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas gift so that I could have one more present.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me. I have always remembered that Christmas fondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life, I can now understand my mom s actions. I see, actually, she was not “giving up her Christmas present” as I had thought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom s simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom s giving, I will choose to give in my life.

I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick It could truly be our family s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother s job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter died last September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he d been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to have dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout(外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom to cook Easter dinner together with me. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women s basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn t feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad. The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love—just like Peter would have wanted.
24.What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come
A.To go out to have dinner.
B.To order pizza.
C.To show off his cooking skills.
D.To cook a big dinner for his family.
25.What does the text tell us
A.The Easter dinner was the family s last dinner.
B.Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner.
C.Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love.
D.Their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure.
26.What does the author mean by saying “I d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4
A.She wasn t confident about cooking the Easter dinner.
B.She was not able to eat a lot of food.
C.The Easter dinner made her sick.
D.She couldn t cook the dinner alone.
27.What can be the best title for the text
A.Cooking in the Kitchen
B.Filling Peter s Shoes
C.Happy Easter Day
D.Terrible Cooks

An annoying brother or sister may break your toys, but he or she may help you when you are in trouble. A new study suggests that younger siblings might be good for your health.
Children who didn t welcome a baby brother or sister to the family before first grade had almost three times the likelihood of obesity compared with kids who experienced the birth of a sibling when they were around 3 to 4 years old, the study found.
“It is possibly because when there is a younger sibling in the family, a child might become more active—for example, running around more with their younger sibling,” said Julie Lumeng, a public health researcher at the University of Michigan.
“Maybe families are more likely to take the kids to the park when there is a younger sibling, or maybe the child is less likely to sit or watch TV when there is a younger sibling to ask them to join more active pretend play,” she added.
Mealtimes might also be different with a second kid at the table. Parents of an only child can often focus too much on what their kid eats, which can lead to bad eating habits, some previous research suggests.
“When parents use restrictive or pressure-to-eat feeding practices, children have an increased risk of being overweight,” said Jerica Berge, a researcher at the University of Minnesota.
“When a new child is introduced, parents may relax their focus on the older child s eating behaviors, making it possible for the older child to self-regulate their eating,” said Berge. “This self-regulation may lead to a healthier weight for the child with a sibling.”
For their study, Lumeng and colleagues followed 697 US children from birth through age 6. However, the authors acknowledged that their study lacked objectively measured birth weights and information on events such as a divorce, a move or a job loss in the family—all of which can influence the odds of children becoming obese.

28.How can an only child become, compared to children with younger siblings
A.Overweight. B.Selfish.
C.Healthier. D.Careful.
29.How can children change when they have a younger sibling
A.They may refuse to play at home.
B.They may have more physical activities.
C.They may feel annoyed and unhappy.
D.They may spend more time with their parents.
30.For parents, which of the following can be good for their children s health
A.Paying more attention to kids eating habits.
B.Using some restrictive feeding practices.
C.Allowing kids to control their eating.
D.Letting the older child regulate the diet of the younger child.
31.Where can we read this passage
A.On TV. B.On the Internet.
C.On the radio. D.In the newspaper.

The secret of eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked years ago—by McDonald s. According to a new study from Cornell University s Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards—like the toys in McDonald s Happy Meals—stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does.
The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item.
They found that the majority of both kids and adults opted for a half-sized portion when the meal was combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same.
Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket, with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a tangible gift in persuading people to eat less.
“The fact that participants were willing to substitute the mere prospect of a relatively small monetary award for part of a food item is interesting,” says Reimann.
He theorizes that it is the emotional components of these intangible prizes that make them effective. In fact, vaguely-stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with hard odds included.
“One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally provoking than certain awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning prizes provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope—a state that is in itself psychologically rewarding.” In other words, there s a reason why people like to gamble.
How could this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily
One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant and make you eat a little less.
32.What do we learn about McDonald s inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals
A.It may shed light on people s desire to crack a secret.
B.It has proved to be key to McDonald s business success.
C.It leads kids to find out what is hidden inside.
D.It may be a pleasant way for kids to reduce their food intake.
33.What is the finding of the researchers led by Martin Reimann
A.Reducing food intake is not that difficult if people go to McDonald s more.
B.Most kids and adults don t actually feel hungry when they eat half of their meal.
C.Eating a smaller portion of food does good to the health of kids and adults alike.
D.Most kids and adults will choose a smaller meal that comes with a non-food item.
34.What is more interesting in Martin Reimann s finding
A.Kids preferred an award in the form of money to one in the form of a toy.
B.Adults chose the smaller portion on the mere promise of a future award.
C.Both kids and adults felt satisfied with only half of their meal portions.
D.Neither children nor adults could resist the temptation of a free toy.
35.What can we infer from Martin Reimann s finding
A.People should eat much less if they wish to stay healthy and happy.
B.More fast food restaurants are likely to follow McDonald s example.
C.We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business.
D.More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion on behavior.

A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签) and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(散开) presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill over from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but I thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother s handwriting.
“Mom, I can t...”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me.

22.C 细节理解题。根据“Tomorrowland Winter”部分中的“The spot lies in a sunny highland, giving a breathtaking sparkle to its variety of slopes that are suitable for beginners, experts and everyone in between.”可知,Tomorrowland Winter滑雪景点有各种各样的斜坡,适合不同水平的滑雪者;根据“Snowboxx”部分中的“The skiing meets the demands of beginners and experts alike, with plenty of easy slopes and more challenging ones to discover.”可知,Snowboxx滑雪景点也有很多不同种类的、适合不同水平的滑雪者的斜坡。由此可知二者的共同之处是它们都有适合所有滑雪者的斜坡。故选C。
23.C 细节理解题。根据“Snowdaze”部分中的“After the first impressive performance, Spanish snow sports and electronic music festival Snowdaze returns to the Pyrenees for a second edition in Candanchu.”可知,Snowdaze因为举办电子音乐节而吸引电子音乐爱好者。故选C。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者接替哥哥为家人做节日晚餐的事,虽然作者做得没有哥哥好,但她也是和妈妈一起用爱心为家人做饭。
24.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Making the holiday meal was my brother s job”和第三段第三、四句“Peter would have hated...made with love.”可知,如果节日来临,作者的哥哥Peter就会为家人准备节日晚餐。故选D。
25.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三、四句“Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.”可知,作者的哥哥Peter喜欢用爱心做饭。故选C。
26.A 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段可知作者要为全家人做复活节晚餐,但在这之前作者几乎连烧开水都不会,并且害怕家人吃了她做的饭会生病,结合画线句后一句“No one could do this half as well as Peter.”可知作者觉得自己不如Peter做得好。结合选项推测A项(她对做复活节晚餐没有信心)最符合画线句子所表达的感情,符合文意,故选A。
27.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要叙述了作者接替哥哥用爱心为家人做节日晚餐的事情。短语fill one s shoes意为“妥善代职”,此短语出现在文章第二段第二句“I could never fill his shoes.”以及倒数第二段最后一句“I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters Shoes.”,由此可知B项贯穿全文,作为标题最符合文章想要表达的中心思想。故选B。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了与家里有兄弟姐妹的孩子相比,独生子女更有可能出现超重问题,并分析了产生这一现象的可能的原因。
28.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知,研究发现,在上一年级之前家里没有弟弟或妹妹出生的孩子,与在3到4岁时经历过弟弟或妹妹出生的孩子相比,肥胖的可能性几乎是三倍。由此可知,与有弟弟或妹妹的孩子比起来,独生子女更有可能产生超重问题。故选A。
29.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中Julie Lumeng说的话可知,当家里有了弟弟或妹妹时,孩子会变得更活跃,比如,会更多地和弟弟或妹妹一起跑来跑去。由此可知,当孩子们有了弟弟或妹妹后,他们可能会有更多的身体活动。故选B。
30.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,当家中有一个新生儿出生时,父母可能会放松对年长的孩子饮食行为的关注,使年长的孩子有可能自我调节饮食,这种自我调节可能会让他们的体重更健康。由此可推知,对于父母来说,C选项“允许孩子们控制自己的饮食”可能对孩子的健康有益。故选C。
31.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For more information about this topic, please click here.”可知,此处是说点击这里以获得更多有关此话题的信息。由此可推知,这篇文章最有可能选自互联网。故选B。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,当食物与奖励搭配在一起或者给人们对未来奖励的承诺时,人们会选择吃更少的食物。这一发现可以在帮助餐饮业有回头客的同时引导人们少吃。
32.D 推理判断题。根据文章首段可知,麦当劳在开心乐园餐中加入玩具这一做法会像食物一样刺激大脑中的奖励中心,从而可能使孩子们少吃而且仍然快乐。故选D。
33.D 细节理解题。根据第二、三段可知,马丁·雷曼领导的研究人员发现大多数孩子和成年人会选择一顿与非食物物品的奖励搭配在一起的减半的餐食。故选D。

35.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,承诺一顿未来的减半的免费甜点可以是减半的餐食的奖励,这样可以吸引顾客再次光临,同时能引导顾客少吃。综合最后两段可知,马丁·雷曼的发现可以在帮助餐饮业有回头客的同时引导人们少吃。故选C。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了能让生日聚会变得特别的几条建议。
36.C 细节句。上文“Are you confused about what to do next when you plan a birthday celebration...or try to help your family prepare for birthdays ”提到了计划和准备生日庆祝活动,下文“Here are some tips on birthday celebrations to get you started.”提到有一些关于庆祝生日的建议可以帮助你开始准备工作。结合选项可知C项“要知道从哪里开始并不总是那么容易”与下文联系紧密,表示“因为不容易,所以给出了一些建议”,逻辑通顺,符合语境。故选C。
37.A 主旨句。本段提到订购蛋糕比自己制作蛋糕更合适,A项(买一个特别的蛋糕)能概括本段内容,符合语境,适合作本段的主旨句。A项中的Buy是关键词,与下文中的ordering呼应,故选A。
38.F 细节句。上文“form a band”和“They can play as much music as you like.”提到了演奏音乐,F项中的live music是关键词,与上文是顺承关系,所以F项(你们所有人都将通过这种方式在现场音乐中享受自我)符合语境。故选F。
39.G 过渡句。上文“Many people like to hold their parties at home.”提到了在家中举行聚会,下文“You can save a large amount of stress by finding a meeting place outside.”提出在户外举行聚会的建议。G项(但不是每个人的房子都足够大,可以举办生日聚会)承接上文,对上文进行转折,指出在家中举行聚会的不便,同时引出下文在户外举行聚会的建议。G项承上启下,符合语境,其中But是关键词。故选G。
40.E 细节句。上文“think about someone you can invite and that your family member will be happy and surprised to see”提到了你可以邀请的人,E项中的a friend是关键词,与上文的someone呼应,所以E项(这个人可以是你的家人想见的一个朋友)承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个名为Kakes 4 Kids的非营利组织为贫困家庭的孩子赠送生日蛋糕,为他们庆祝生日。
41.B 根据本段第一句及第二句中的“But”和“or with no home at all”可知,第二句是对第一句的转折,指的是还有很多孩子家庭贫困(poor),甚至没有家。
42.A 根据本段第一句可知蛋糕在庆祝生日时是一个很重要的部分;根据“They don t get to experience the...many of us take for granted.”可知,此处是说这些孩子无法感受这份我们习以为常的礼物(gifts),也就是蛋糕。故选A。B.好处;C.结果;D.问题。

46.B 根据第四段对Kakes 4 Kids为孩子们提供蛋糕的整个过程的描述尤其是其中的“Once the cakes are...”及“they see some photos...next to their cakes”可知,这一组织的工作就是给每个符合条件的孩子一个蛋糕(cake)。
47.C 根据后文的“we forget that it s a really...thing for kids”可推知,此处是说Becky认为成年人往往不那么重视、喜欢(enjoy)过生日,所以他们会忘记过生日对孩子们的意义。故选C。A.避免;B.建议;D.介意。
48.A 根据文章第一段第一句及最后一段可知,用生日蛋糕来庆祝生日对孩子们来说很重要,再结合本段中的“as adults, we often don t...celebrating our birthday so much”及“So we forget that it s a really...thing for kids, especially kids...”可知,此处是说庆祝生日对孩子们来说很重要(important)。故选A。B.个人的;C.熟悉的;D.压力大的。
49.C 根据文章第一段中的“But there are many kids from...families or with no home at all.”再结合整篇文章讲的Kakes 4 Kids为贫困家庭的孩子赠送生日蛋糕这件事可知,此处指“身处困境(in difficult situations)的孩子们”;根据本段中的“I think that...especially kids who are in...situations”可知,此处是说成年人常常不再享受自己的生日庆祝活动,所以就会忘记庆祝生日对于孩子们,尤其是身处困境的孩子们来说是一件非常重要的事。故选C。
50.A 根据本段中对Becky及志愿者如何为孩子们定制、寄送生日蛋糕的描述可知,本段是在讲赠送生日蛋糕的整个过程,所以此处指这个过程(process)非常简单。

55.B 根据本段中的“they can feel a sense of...and satisfaction when they see some photos of...children next to their cakes”尤其是其中的“...and satisfaction”再结合Kakes 4 Kids给孩子们赠送生日蛋糕这件事推断孩子们是高兴的。四个选项中B项(兴奋的)最符合语境,此处表示当Kakes 4 Kids的志愿者们看到兴高采烈的孩子们与自己的蛋糕的合影时,他们就会有种成就感和满足感。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节日——端午节,介绍了关于其起源的传说和节日的习俗。
56.or 考查连词。句意:它还被称为“端午节”“重五节”或“端阳节”。根据句意和句子结构可知,“duan wu jie”“chong wu jie”和“duan yang jie”之间是选择关系,应用or连接,表示“或者”。故填or。
57.beginning 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,设空处与空前的meaning为并列成分,一起作explaining的宾语,结合空前的the和空后的of可知空处应用名词;结合语境可知此处表示“解释端午节的意义和开端”,则设空处意为“开始,开端”,故填beginning。
58.to remember 考查动词不定式。句意:一个传说是通常庆祝这个节日是为了纪念一位伟大的诗人屈原。句中that引导表语从句,从句中is held是谓语,设空处应用非谓语动词;结合句意可知空处表示目的,应用不定式作目的状语。故填to remember。
59.by 考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示“由学者进行的研究”,空处意为“由(……进行)”,引出动作的执行者,应用介词by,表示被动。故填by。
60.first 考查序数词。句意:第一种观点认为,它与中国古代传说中的一条龙的故事有关。根据第一段最后“However, researches done by scholars have led to another two probable views.”可知,上文提到一共有两种观点,而空处指的是“第一种”观点,应用序数词。故填first。
61.themselves 考查代词。句意:南方的人们认为他们自己是龙的孩子。本句的宾语和主语一样,都是指People of the south,宾语应用反身代词,表示“他们自己”,故填themselves。
62.wishing 考查现在分词。句意:在农历五月初五,他们会敬奉龙的“图腾”,希望来年有个好收成。这里为非谓语动词作状语,句子主语they和动词wish之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填wishing。
63.is based 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:另一种观点是它基于“邪恶的一天”的神话。句中that引导表语从句,it为从句的主语,空处为从句的谓语。此处是在介绍第二种观点,结合上一段介绍第一种观点的时态可知,此处是一般叙述,应用一般现在时。be based on为固定搭配,意为“以……为基础”,由此可知从句主语it与base之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且从句主语为单数,故填is based。
64.easily 考查副词。修饰动词get应用副词形式。故填easily。
65.which/that 考查定语从句。“ 65 are now popular worldwide”为设空处引导的定语从句,先行词为dragon boat races,设空处在定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或that引导定语从句。故填which或that。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
A Food Festival
In order to promote Chinese food culture and enrich students campus life, our school held a food festival in the dining room last Sunday.
During the activity, the cooks from our school introduced traditional styles of cooking and cooked many famous dishes like stinky tofu and Kung Pao Chicken. Many students also cooked in person with the help of the cooks.
All the students present spoke highly of this activity which let them have a better understanding of China s rich and profound food culture.
第二节
One possible version:
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother. I was stopped by my mother s eager, joyful look. “Let s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow-dryer. Though this might seem nothing but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was extremely surprised. In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom s selfless behavior was impossible to understand. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas gift so that I could have one more present.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me. I have always remembered that Christmas fondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life, I can now understand my mom s actions. I see, actually, she was not “giving up her Christmas present” as I had thought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom s simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom s giving, I will choose to give in my life.
