主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型: 说明文
Many of us love summer because it’s the season when vegetables are in abundance.Fresh vegetables have almost all of the nutrients that our body requires.
Fresh cabbage is an excellent source of natural vitamin C.It also contains an adequate number of minerals.Sweet carrot is notably rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂),vitamins and dietary fiber.Onion is a rich source of chromium (铬),a mineral that helps cells respond appropriately to insulin (胰岛素) levels in the blood.As for me,tomato,juicy and delicious,is a wonderful gift to the world.Besides,it contains very good levels of vitamin A and vitamin C,and antioxidants,which are scientifically found to be protective against cancers.
Eat at least 5-7 servings of fresh vegetables every day.Seasonal vegetables should be encouraged.Whenever possible,go for organic farm vegetables to get maximum health benefits.Organic ones tend to be smaller but have rich flavour,possess some good concentration of vitamins and minerals and are loaded with numerous health benefiting antioxidants.
After shopping your choice of vegetables,the first thing you need to do is to wash them thoroughly,especially leafy green vegetables.Soak in salt water for a few minutes,and gently wash in cool water until you are satisfied with the cleanliness.This way you insure they are free from dirt sand and any chemical sprays.If you need to store them,then place inside plastic wrappings in order to preserve their nutrition for short periods until you use them.However,the best way is to use them early while fresh because,firstly,certain vegetables have a very short period of life and secondly,the health benefiting qualities of vegetables declines with time.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,夏季的蔬菜不仅新鲜,而且营养丰富。作者介绍了卷心菜、胡萝卜及洋葱等蔬菜所包含的营养元素。当然,想要保持健康,除了了解蔬菜的营养成分之外,科学的饮食方法也十分重要。

参考范文
Ladies and gentlemen,
I feel greatly honored to be here to tell you something about Chinese banquet customs.Firstly,banquets are usually held in private rooms in restaurants.Guests will be met at the door and led to the banquet room where they will be guided to their places.Occasions are rare when guests sit where they please.Secondly,while at banquets,guests don’t begin to eat until the host raises his chopsticks.And it’s rude to stop eating in the middle of a banquet.Banquets always begin with a toast,with the host expressing his welcome. Finally,the host will say good-bye to everyone at the door and stay longer to pay the bill.
Thank you for listening.
Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a thick forest on the side of a mountain.Many kinds of animals lived in the forest.A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two young ones.The young ones wandered happily here and there.The deer followed her fawns(幼鹿)into a cave.The deer was frightened because it was a tiger’s cave.There were bones of dead animals all over the cave.Fortunately,the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.
The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave when she heard a loud roar.She saw the tiger at a distance coming towards the cave.It was dangerous to go out of the cave now.She thought of a plan.The deer raised her voice and shouted,“My dear young children do not weep.I shall capture(捕捉)a tiger for you to eat.You can have a good dinner.”
The tiger heard these words and became frightened.He thought,“Whose is that strange voice from the cave A dangerous animal is staying inside to capture me.I shall run away to escape death.”The tiger began to run away from there as fast as possible.
A jackal(胡狼) saw the running tiger.“Why are you running in great fear ”the jackal asked.The tiger said,“My friend,a powerful and fierce animal is in my cave.The young ones are crying for a tiger to eat.The mother is promising to capture a tiger for them.So,I am running away.”
The cunning jackal was now sure the tiger was a coward(懦夫).It said,“Don’t be afraid.No animal is fiercer or stronger than a tiger.Let us go together to find out.”
But the tiger said,“I do not want to take a chance.You may run away.I will be left alone to die.So,I will not come with you.”
The jackal said,“Trust me.Let us knot(打结) our tails together.Then I will not be able to leave you.”The tiger agreed unwillingly to this proposal.So the jackal tied their tails in a knot.Now they walked towards the cave together.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together.




The tiger was shocked to hear this and he was sure now the jackal cheated him.




参考范文
Paragraph 1:
The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together.She again raised her voice.She shouted towards her children standing inside the cave,“My dear children,I requested my friend,the clever jackal,to capture a tiger for us.Now look,the jackal has captured a tiger for us.He has tied the tiger’s tail to his tail.This is to prevent the tiger from escaping.You will soon have the tiger for dinner.”
Paragraph 2:
The tiger was shocked to hear this and he was sure now the jackal cheated him.So,the tiger decided to escape from the terrible animal standing inside his cave.He started running.He forgot about the jackal.He dragged the jackal over rocks and thorns.In the mad escape the jackal was caught between two rocks.The tiger pulled with all his might.His tail got cut.The jackal was killed in this incident.The tail-less tiger ran away to another part of the forest.The deer and her young ones left the tiger’s cave.They joined their herd safely.Presence of mind and intelligence can save one from dangerous situations.

DUMPLING
Jiaozi(Chinese dumpling) is one of the most important foods in Chinese new year especially in northern China.Since the shape of Chinese dumpling is similar to ancient Chinese gold,they symbolize wealth.Traditionally,the members of a family get together to make dumplings during the New Year’s Eve.Chinese dumpling is also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals.
I love dumplings especially when I am away from home and simply a bite of it can make me feel better and lift my spirits.
文化意识
Food plays a very important part in our daily life.Besides meeting our basic daily requirements of living,food means more to our human beings.
Food stands for a certain culture.Various foods have been invented by using different ingredients,which not only reflect the preference of the local people,but also form special local customs.What people usually eat is always decided by the difference of the climate and environment where they live to a large extent.Special climate and geography conditions contribute to the formation of food with geographical characteristics.
The process of eating food is also a process of socializing a person.Communicating over dinner is widely accepted by both eastern and western cultures in spite of the existence of the difference in the table manners.Harmonious atmosphere could be created and many disagreements could be erased when people sit around the table enjoying their meals.Many great historical events happened with the backgrounds of dinner.The stories about The Last Supper and Banquet at Hongmen are good examples of these.
Food also has the magical power to strengthen the bond between an individual and a certain person or place.People with the same taste are easy to build up closer connections.A taste a person grows up with always reminds him where he belongs.So it’s not easy for a person to forget where he grew up when a special food slides past his mouth.第四单元测评

William Butler Yeats,a most famous Irish writer,was born in Dublin on June 13,1865.His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦) that was typical of a happy family.Later,Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”.In fact,he inherited(继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature,particularly drama(戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning.He didn’t lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works,Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love,nature,history,time and aging.Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms,he brought modern sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed,his poetry grew finer and richer,which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet,he continued writing almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now be valued as a minor poet,for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeats’s death in 1939,W.H.Auden wrote,among others,the following lines:
Earth,receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel(船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了爱尔兰著名作家叶芝的生平故事以及文学成就。

B.It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.

D.It had an artistic atmosphere.

B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D.Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.

A poem is defined as a composition written in verse.Poems rely heavily on imagery,precise word choice,and metaphor(隐喻),and may take either the form of measures consisting of patterns of stresses or of patterns of different-length syllables.But they don’t necessarily make use of rhyme.Poetry appears earlier than other forms of literature;however one cannot readily tell the characteristics of early poetry.Typically,as a form of literature,poetry makes great use of the forms of the words it uses.That is to say,it focuses on the features of the written or spoken word,rather than on their meaning.
The play,or drama,is another classical literary form that has continued to develop over the years.It generally consists chiefly of a dialogue between characters and is usually for theatrical performances rather than for reading.During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,opera developed as a combination of poetry,drama and music.
An essay consists of a discussion of a topic from an author’s personal point of view.The word “essay” in English is from the French word meaning “attempt”.In this sense,it could be said to mean the author’s attempt to make others accept their view.
Prose consists of writing that does not stick to any particular formal structures.Prose writing can take beautiful forms,but not because of the forms of words it uses.
A novel consists simply of a long story written in prose,yet this form has only developed comparatively recently.Early novels in Europe did not,at the time,count as significant literature,perhaps because “mere” prose writing seemed easy and unimportant.It has become clear,however,that prose writing can provide pleasure to those readers even though it doesn’t stick to poetic forms.

参考范文
Dear Wendy,
I’m so glad to receive your letter.And it is really a coincidence that you asked me about the Tang poems,and I just have learnt something about them.
The Tang poems are various in forms and subjects.Generally speaking,they can be divided into two groups—classical poems and modern poems.Not only the length of a line but also the length of a poem is limited to a certain number of words.There are often four or eight or twelve lines with five or seven words in each line.Poets wrote poems for different purposes,for example,exposing the darkness of the society and describing the beautiful scenes.
There were many famous poets during the Tang Dynasty,such as Li Bai,Du Fu and Bai Juyi.If you want to read more,the book 300 Tang Poems is a good choice,which includes poems of many well-known poets.After reading them,you will have a better understanding of the Tang poems.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
Once,a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave.Stored inside were all kinds of treasure and precious stones,and when he saw it,the man concealed the cave entrance and stayed there,guarding it.
From that day on,the man would hide all his valuables in the cave,and to avoid anyone suspecting he was rich,he gave up his job,his home and his friends.He constantly watched the approaches to his cave,wanting no one to find out about it,and fearing thieves,and he guarded the cave the whole night through.
He was so dedicated to the cave that he hardly ate or drank.Before long,he fell ill.Many days passed,and he got thinner and sicker,losing all his strength,until he was on the point of dying.One day,when he could hardly move at all,he realized that it was his greed which had brought him to this extreme end.He now understood that guarding his treasure had been of no use and no good whatsoever.Just before he died,he decided to share it with others.
He crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels,but discovered,to his horror,that the cave was almost empty.All he could find was a small emerald,which had only a dull sheen to it.The man took it,and left the cave,intending to give it to the first person to come by.Soon a woman approached,and she accepted the emerald with great joy.
“Are you sure there’s nothing else ” replied the woman.The man shook his head,and pointed to the cave.Now he could see that there were,indeed,some treasures still there;he saw some gold coins.“Take them with you.” he said.The woman took both the emerald and the coins,and went away happily.
In a while,an old man came by and asked the man what he was doing there.“What bad luck!Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left from the fabulous hoard of treasure I was guarding.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
“Are you sure there is nothing left ” the old man asked him.





“And why does this happen ” said the man.“Why do these treasures appear and disappear ”

(2021新高考Ⅰ卷)
By day,Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I’m not a trained musician,but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.”Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns,including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key,and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances,there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page,but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,”Mr Titterton said,“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists,although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,”she laughed.“He’s interested in the music,feeling every note,and I have to say:‘Turn,turn!’Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Robert Titterton是一位律师,但他很喜欢音乐,业余时间他在舞台上为钢琴家Maria Raspopova翻乐谱。翻乐谱这份工作看似简单,其实要求很高。
4.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano.
C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria”可知,要想为钢琴家翻乐谱,必须能够识谱。故选A项。
5.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A.Boring.   B.Well-paid.    
C.Demanding.    D.Dangerous.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段内容可推断,在台上为钢琴家翻乐谱这项工作看似简单,实则不然,是一份要求高的工作。故选C项。
6.What does Titterton need to practise
A.Counting the pages.
B.Recognizing the “nodding”.
C.Catching falling objects.
D.Performing in his own style.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,舞台上的无声交流是很关键的,每位钢琴家都有属于自己风格的点头示意的方式,翻乐谱的人必须学会察言观色,才能与演奏者高度默契,而这需要双方经过大量的练习才能实现。故选B项。
7.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”
A.He has very poor eyesight.
B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music.
D.He forgets to do his job.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断,Raspopova的丈夫其实很喜欢音乐,但是他在舞台上只顾欣赏每一个音符,忘记了自己的本职工作,所以妻子才不断提醒他,并称其“the worst page turner”。故选D项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了一个擅长表演京剧的外国青少年的故事。
1.The 考查冠词。第二次在文章中出现,代指前面的Tyler Thompson。
2.to sing 考查非谓语动词。the ability to do sth意为“做某事的能力”,为固定词组搭配,故用不定式作后置定语。
3.who 考查定语从句。who引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词teen。
4.picked 考查动词时态。since意为“自从”时,引导的状语从句中,从句用一般过去时,主句用现在完成时。
5.his 考查代词。根据语境mouth和主语he可知,此处应用形容词性物主代词his修饰名词mouth,在句子中作定语。
6.known 考查非谓语动词。know和句子谓语之间没有连词,故用非谓语动词,且know和其逻辑主语form是动宾关系,故用动词-ed形式作后置定语。
7.movements 考查名词。根据and可知,此处与名词voices呼应,故用名词的复数形式。
8.standing 考查形容词。由空后的名词cheers可知,此处应用形容词形式修饰名词,standing意为“站着进行的”,表示Tyler得到了(观众的)起立欢呼。
9.as 考查介词。此处as意为“作为”,后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式,与performed呼应,表示扮演的角色,符合语境。Unit 1 Food matters

If you’re walking through Boston during a downpour,you might see a poem appear before your eyes.
Titled “Raining Poetry”,this art installation was a collaboration,which needs efforts between the nonprofit Mass Poetry and the city of Boston.The first poems were installed to honour the start of National Poetry Month.Several more were added since then.The poems are invisible during dry and sunny weather,but they appear like magic once raindrops start falling from the sky.
“We want to bring poetry to the people,” said Sara Siegel,program director for Mass Poetry.The poems were selected by Danielle Legros Georges,Boston’s poet laureate(桂冠诗人).Scattered throughout the city,Georges selected the poems mainly based on their relationship to Boston.Another factor was their general themes of water and rain.
The poems were installed by members of the Mayor’s Mural Crew,an organization that introduces young artists to the process of creating public art.The poems can be fixed to the sidewalk in minutes.It will wear away in six to eight weeks.However,the city of Boston and Mass Poetry plan on carpeting city sidewalks with more poems.“It’s a public art project,as the poems are and will be installed in public sites in Boston,and meant for everyone,” Georges said.“I think this is a wonderful way to bring poetry to the people.”
The poems appear throughout the city.While all of the poems currently installed are written in English,Siegel hopes to add new ones in the many languages.“Our hope is in the next two years everyone in the state will encounter a poem in their daily lives at least once or twice a month,” Siegel tells Guerra.“This is a fun and unusual way to bring poetry to the people.”

Ⅶ.读后续写
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。
One day,six-year-old Pete stepped out of his house to buy a lollipop(棒棒糖).It had rained all night long.But now the sun was shining,and the wind was blowing all over the pavements,blowing the rain away.Pete got on his tricycle(三轮脚踏车) and rode away.He felt excited since this was the first time he had gone to a shop on his tricycle.“I’ll ride through every puddle (水坑),” he said to himself.
He rode right through the first puddle,and splashes of water flew up in the air.But when he looked around,the puddle was still there.Behind his tricycle was a long black line.His front wheel had made it when it came out of the puddle.Pete noticed it and he was pleased.“I meant to do that,” he laughed.(But he hadn’t really.) So he rode right through the next puddle,and his black line shone behind him.But now,when he looked around,instead of one black line,there were three,because this puddle was a very big one,and all three of the wheels had gone right into it.“I’m an engine-driver,” cried Pete.“And those are my railway lines.Oooo!”
And he pedaled through every puddle he could see.Sometimes it was a small puddle,and then there was only one railway line.And sometimes it was a middle-sized puddle,and then there were two railway lines.And sometimes it was a very big puddle,with a lot of sky in it,and then the whole tricycle went through it,and there were three railway lines.
Suddenly Pete remembered that he was going to the shop on the corner to buy a lollipop.He put his hand in his pocket to make sure his two pennies were still there.One of them,two of them...Pete felt each of them with his fingers.“It was good of me to remember,” he told himself.“I’m a very good rememberer.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
As he stopped for a break,a little cat came out of a house.






Just then a lady ran out of the house.

As he stopped for a break,a little cat came out of a house.The cat ran up to Pete’s tricycle,doing a funny little dance,and Pete laughed at it.“You funny little cat,” he said.“You funny one.” But the cat didn’t know anything about tricycles.It suddenly put out a paw and played with the tricycle wheel,and the wheel hurt the paw.With its injured paw,the cat ran into the house.And Pete was worried about the hurt little cat and sat quite still.He was very upset.
Just then a lady ran out of the house.She asked Pete what happened to her little cat.Pete explained to her that her cat was trying to play with his tricycle only to hurt itself.Even though it was not his mistake,Pete made an apology.The lady was moved by his honesty and sincerity,and invited him to see her three lovely cats.For Pete,the trip to the shop was a really good experience because he not only saw three lovely cats but also met a very nice lady.

Why People Collect Art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art.But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain.Some resell works,earning enormous profit. 1  Immorally,some “collectors” buy art as a form of money laundering (洗钱),since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
 2  For them,art is important for other reasons.The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds,and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links;they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created.We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. 3  Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.
 4  Through the collections,collectors convey messages not just about themselves,but about the world as a whole.For example,the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends,but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5 
A.Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B.But most collectors think little of profit.
C.Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D.No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E.Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F.It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G.Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们收藏艺术品的几种原因。
1.E 根据上下文内容可知,此处说的是利用艺术品获得经济利益的做法,E项“一些人因为向博物馆捐赠艺术品而获得了大幅减税”符合语境。
2.B 根据下文“For them,art is important for other reasons.”可知,此处说的是一些人收藏艺术品不是看重经济利益,B项“但是,大多数收藏者很少考虑利润”符合语境。
3.F 根据上文可知,艺术是艺术家表达想法和情感的有力方式,F项“它也是表达收藏者的一种有效方式”符合语境。
4.G 根据下文内容可知,通过收藏品,收藏者不仅传递关于他们自己的信息,还传递关于世界的信息,说明收藏者认为自己的收藏品有重要意义。G项“其他艺术收藏者认为自己的收藏品有更广泛的影响力”符合语境。
5.D 根据上文可知,人们收藏艺术品有各种各样的原因,此处总结全文,D项“毫无疑问,艺术收藏是很难戒掉的瘾”符合语境。

Ⅲ.七选五
主题语境:人与自我 语篇类型:说明文
The best way to set yourself up for success is to make sure that your goals are SMART:specific,measurable,attainable,relevant and timely.
Make your goals specific
You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you’re working toward. 1  Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal What exact goal do you want to accomplish Be very specific.When will you start and when will you reach your goal
Make your goals measurable
Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down,it’s time to look at how you will measure your progress.After all,if you don’t have any way to measure your goal,how will you know when you’ve reached it  2  Some examples of measurable goals might be pounds lost,a positive change in blood work numbers,or fitness minutes accumulated.
Make your goals attainable
It’s good to think big. 3  A goal that’s attainable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support,equipment,knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action.
Make your goals relevant
You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle. 4  Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you’ll set yourself up for success.
Make your goals timely
 5  Otherwise,it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it.Every goal should have a date,which will help you stay on track.In addition,set up a few mini-deadlines to keep you on track to reaching your big-picture goal.
A.Put a deadline on your goal.
B.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
C.You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions.
D.Therefore,you should know in advance how you will make this happen.
E.However,it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach.
F.Don’t choose a goal just because someone else thinks it’s something you “should” do.
G.Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。如果人们要想取得成功,设立一个具体可行的目标很重要,本文给出了五条设立目标的建议。
1.C 根据下文的三个问句“Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal What exact goal do you want to accomplish ”“When will you start and when will you reach your goal ”可知,如果我们能够清楚地知道这三个问题的答案,那么我们的目标就是非常清晰的。C项“You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions.”符合上下文语境。
2.G 根据下文“Some examples of measurable goals might be pounds lost,a positive change in blood work numbers,or fitness minutes accumulated.”可知,列举的事例恰好使用数字来测量我们所取得的进步。G项“Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers.”与上下文语境相符。
3.E 本段的标题“Make your goals attainable”意为“让你的目标可以实现”。空格前的意思是“志向远大很好”,空格后的意思是“一个你认为能实现的目标……”。分析选项可知,E项“然而,同样重要的是,你不要设定一个太大而无法达到的目标”和上文构成转折关系。
4.F 上文告诉我们要确保选择了一个适合自己的目标。F项“Don’t choose a goal just because someone else thinks it’s something you ‘should’ do.”符合上下文语境。
5.A 根据下文的“Otherwise,it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it.”可知,我们要给自己的目标设立一个时间节点。A项“Put a deadline on your goal.”符合上下文语境。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。圣诞节期间朋友们都在休闲娱乐,但作者却被安排去上班。本文描写了作者对此问题的想法和感受。
1.A.boss         B.school
C.office D.home
答案C
解析根据第一段第二句可知,那个圣诞节作者一整天都在工作,故此处指作者不得不返回到办公室(office)。
2.A.sad B.excited
C.stupid D.strange
答案A
解析朋友们几乎都在享受假期时作者却不得不工作,这种情况是让作者感到伤心的(sad)。
3.A.working B.employed
C.watching D.included
答案D
解析根据上文可知,作者不得不工作,故他被排除(not included)在了朋友们所参加的娱乐休闲活动之外。
4.A.also B.always
C.even D.still
答案D
解析根据后面的“I am a responsible guy.”可知,虽然作者不情愿,但出于责任感,他还是(still)去工作了。
5.A.important B.good
C.different D.fanny
答案B
解析略读下文可知,本段主要讲了在圣诞节工作的一些好的(good)方面。
6.A.other B.dangerous
C.useless D.simple
答案A
解析根据前面的“...had no plan...”可知,此处指没有其他(other)活动计划。本句中作者并没有对activities施加感彩。
7.A.start B.value
C.spend D.afford
答案C
解析本句中使用了spend...(in) doing sth结构,意为“花费……做某事”。
8.A.pay B.steal
C.save D.make
答案D
解析结合常识可知,在节假日上班可以挣得额外收入。make money“挣钱”,为习惯搭配。
9.A.almost B.hardly
C.only D.exactly
答案A
解析结合常识可知,圣诞节几乎(almost)是世界性的节日。
10.A.explains B.means
C.reads D.reminds
答案B
解析该空所在句与前一句紧密相连。圣诞节几乎是世界性的节日,这就意味着(means)作者公司的大多数国外分公司可能不上班。
11.A.buildings B.countries
C.cities D.villages
答案B
解析根据后面的“...those in China and Japan...”可知,作者联想到的是自己所在公司在其他国家(countries)的分公司。
12.A.after B.with
C.except D.beyond
答案C
解析根据后面的原因状语从句“...as Christmas is not a holiday for people there.”可知,在中国和日本的分公司是被排除(except)在有可能圣诞节不上班的公司之外的。
13.A.work B.talk
C.homework D.cleaning
答案A
解析既然用户少、问题少,作者此时上班需要做的工作(work)自然就少。
14.A.use B.throw
C.bring D.pull
答案C
解析后面的to暗示此处为bring sth to sp结构,意为“把某物带到某处”。
15.A.service B.space
C.pleasure D.pay
答案D
解析联系上文可知,此处指得到额外的加班费用。extra pay与上文提到的extra money意思相同。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了马拉滑雪板——一项将滑雪天赋与高水平的马术相结合的运动。
1.frozen 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词 lake,故用其形容词形式。frozen lake意为“冰封的湖面”。故填frozen。
2.unusual 考查形容词。由前文“skij ring is a sport like no other”(马拉雪橇是一种与众不同的运动)可知,此处应用unusual(不寻常的)修饰名词sport,故填unusual。
3.with 考查介词。mix...with...为固定词组,意为“把……与……结合”。
4.faster 考查比较级。由“than”可知,应用其比较级形式。
5.being allowed/allowed 考查非谓语动词/省略句。before既可作介词,也可作连词。before为介词时,allow与主语构成被动关系,故使用其动词-ing形式的被动形式;before作连词时,此处可看作before they are allowed省略了they are的情况。故填being allowed/allowed。
6.and 考查连词。分析句子可知,fitness tests和 hard theory exams为并列结构作动词pass的宾语,故用并列连词连接。故填and。
7.are 考查时态和主谓一致。not only置于句首时要用部分倒装结构。谓语动词与主语they保持一致,由于本文主要用一般现在时客观介绍马拉滑雪板这项运动,故用一般现在时,填are。
8.fully 考查副词。设空处修饰形容词grown,故用其副词形式。
9.which/that 考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词snow and ice,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故用关系代词,故填which/that。Unit 4Exploring poetry

Kwame Alexander is a best-selling author of 24 books.His novel in verse(诗体) The Crossover won the Newbery Medal in 2015,and was followed by another verse novel in 2016,Booked.In the just-released The Playbook:52 Rules to Aim,Shoot,and Score in This Game Called Life,Alexander aims to inspire readers to dream big and reach for their goals.
TFK(Time For Kids):
What can you tell us about The Playbook
Kwame Alexander:
I wanted to write a book about how important it is to persevere (坚持) and accept the challenges that come,because they only make you stronger.And I wanted to do it in a really cool and fun way,using sports as a metaphor (隐喻),so students would be interested in reading a book that is telling them how to make their lives better.
TFK:
Where did you get the idea for the book
Alexander:
In The Crossover,the father of the main characters,Josh and Jordan,gives them these rules for life,called Basketball Rules.Well,I was having breakfast with a friend of mine in New York City.He said,“Kwame,I love those Basketball Rules you have in The Crossover.You should think about writing a whole book on those.” That’s where it all began.
TFK:
Is it hard to mix sports and poetry (诗歌)
Alexander:
I love sports,and I’ve been writing poetry since I was a kid.So those two things are as natural to me as breathing,laughing and walking.
TFK:
You’ve said teachers need to make learning poetry fun.Did you have a teacher like this as a kid
Alexander:
My mum.She read poetry to my sisters and me when I was a kid,and she would make the words jump off the page!
TFK:
What advice would you give to young writers
Alexander:
Read everything you can get your hands on.The best way to become a good writer is to read what other people have written.

A.His mum who read poetry to him.
B.The teacher who taught him poetry.
C.His friend who read The Crossover.

3.When Alexander was a kid,how did he feel about poetry
A.It was rather boring.
B.It was quite difficult.
C.It was pretty mysterious.

Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life of solitude(隐居).She was born on 10th December 1830 at Amherst,Massachusetts to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson.She had an older brother,Austin,and younger sister named Lavinia.
From 1834 to 1847,Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy,an academic institution that was co-founded by her grandfather,Samuel Fowler Dickinson.In 1847,she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary (now known as Mount Holyoke College) but returned to Amherst only after a year,and began her own unique life.After returning from the Seminary,Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests.She chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room.She started writing poems at around this time.Her initial forays(最初的尝试) were conventional(有争议的) but later on,she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson’s writing style and content.The US Civil War broke out in 1861;her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health reasons,and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco.In addition,she also had a persistent eye trouble.Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson,this could also be considered as the most productive period of her life.During this time,Emily Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.
Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15,1886.Her poems were published by her sister,Lavinia in 1886.During her life,only seven poems were published,but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2,000 poems.
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。艾米莉·狄金森是美国传奇诗人,青少年时代生活单调而平静,受正规的教育。从25岁开始弃绝社交闭门不出,在孤独中埋头写诗三十年,留下诗稿2000余首;生前只是发表过七首,其余的都是她去世后才出版的。

A.She studied at the Amherst Academy.
B.She went to the Hadley Female Seminary.
C.She felt lonely and returned to Amherst.
D.She began her life of solitude.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据下文的“Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests...and spent most of her time inside her room.”可知,她不和社会接触,拒绝接待客人,大部分的时间待在房间里。换言之,她开始隐居,所以选D项。
6.What can we infer from the third paragraph
A.Emily’s writing was disturbed by the US Civil War.
B.Two of her closest friends deserted her in 1861.
C.Charles Wadsworth once lived in San Francisco.
D.Emily developed her own unique style.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据“...and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco.”中的was relocated可知,她的朋友查尔斯·沃兹沃思重新到旧金山定居。由此可知,查尔斯·沃兹沃思以前曾在旧金山居住过,所以选C项。
7.When were most of Emily’s poems published
A.After her death in 1886.
B.During the US Civil War.
C.During her university time.
D.Before her death in 1886.
答案A

主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:记叙文
One of the most famous nursery rhymes(摇篮曲) in the English language is “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.It has touched many children who have read it.It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb.The poem is from a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling,Massachusetts,in the US.
Mary Sawyer (1806—1889) lived on a farm with her family.One day,when she was about nine years old,she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its mother.It was very weak and looked as if it would die at any moment.Mary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after it.Eventually,it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary,following her everywhere she went.
One day,the lamb even followed Mary to school.At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school.During the class,she hid the lamb under her desk.But when she was called to go to the front of the class,to her surprise,the lamb followed her.Though the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school,the teacher had to ask Mary to keep the lamb out of the school.
That very day,a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary’s school.He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day.His poem contained twelve lines.
Later,Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.The poem has become a classic,loved by children all over the world.The appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love between the little girl and her pet.The town of Sterling has honoured Mary’s lamb by building a statue of the lamb with Mr Roulstone’s poem below the statue.

Eric was working in a selling business.He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home.He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children.It was coming up on Mother’s Day,and he usually tried to make it “back home”,but this year he was just too busy and too tired.The day when he was driving in a small town,he saw a flower shop.He said to himself,“I know what I will do.I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it.“How many roses can I get for fifty dollars ” the boy asked.The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive.Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No.I have to have roses,” he said.“My mum was badly sick last year and I didn’t spend much time with her.I want to get something special.It has to be red roses,because that is her favourite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head.Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice.He wanted to get those roses so badly.Eric had been blessed(幸运的) in his business,and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said,“OK,I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air.He took the flowers and ran out of the store.It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother.After that,with a relief he drove down the road.Not long after his driving,he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地).

Eric stopped his car and followed the young man.

Eric went into the car in tears.His mother’s home wasn’t far from here,but he hadn’t seen her for too long a time.He didn’t have a talk with her for too long a time and he didn’t say how much he loved her for too long a time.He turned the car and drove towards the road quickly to the flower shop.He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mum.

Healthy relationships allow you to express your individuality,bring out the best in both of you,and encourage growth.Especially if you are in a new relationship,it’s best to set a foundation for a positive and healthy relationship from the start.There are two pieces of advice on it.
The first one,speak up.Don’t expect your partner to be able to read your mind or “figure it out.” If you have a need or want to express something,you need to communicate it yourself.It’s not fair to you or your partner when you don’t communicate your needs.Likewise,don’t hold in the things that bother you.If you don’t know how to start a conversation,say,“There’s something on my mind and I’d like it if you listened.”
You can also say,“Something is bothering me and I feel like we should talk about it.”
The second one,listen intently.Part of a healthy relationship is knowing when to talk and when to listen.Develop your listening skills by not interrupting and letting your partner finish their thoughts and feelings.Truly listen,and don’t try to come up with a response while your partner is talking.Use active listening skills by reflecting the content and emotions of what your partner is saying.
17.What is the speaker talking about
A.How to build a healthy relationship.
B.How to read others’ mind.
C.How to develop your listening skills.
答案A
18.How many suggestions are referred to
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four.
答案A
19.What isn’t referred to in the passage
A.Speak up.
B.Appreciate each other.
C.Listen intently.
答案B
20.Which is impolite when making a conversation
A.Let others finish their thoughts.
B.Reflect when others are speaking.
C.Hold in the things that bother you.

Feel stressed Want to relax Here are four places for you to go!
The CLF Art Cafe,Peckham
Playing different kinds of music,it has a night to serve most tastes.As one of the leading places for the creative arts,the building is full of friendly but crazy students and young people devoted to having a good time.But for those who aren’t interested in making the ceiling sweat,there is an open-air rooftop,monthly plays and regular showings of films.
Roxy,Fitzrovia
In the heart of London’s shopping center lies one of the flagships for a student night out in London.After showing their Student IDs,students head down into the basement(地下室) of the Roxy where they are thrown into a group of young people from all backgrounds and countries.Whether for a few drinks and a chat or a dance along to the sound of the latest hits,the Roxy’s half-priced cocktail(鸡尾酒) will make sure you are satisfied.
Bar Kick,Shoreditch
For students who are very busy and have forgotten how to relax,keep yourself focused while you play a game of table football.Put yourself into the crowd of bars and clubs Shoreditch has to offer,Bar Kick presents students with a quiet evening.At street level,it seems like any other bar.Heading downstairs you’ll find almost a dozen football tables replacing the dance floor,giving it a competitive edge to an evening away from school work.
The Court,Tottenham Court Road
For an affordable meal and drinks on a Sunday before a week of stress,head over to The bining the perfect combination of traditional pub comforts with student prices,the central London pub offers a quiet place as you catch up with classmates and forget about the stresses of being a student.

A.The CLF Art Cafe.
B.The Court.
C.Bar Kick.
D.Roxy.

D.It offers customers service at half price.

C.It looks different from others in the street.

B
Of course,she wasn’t really my aunt and,out of fear,I never called her that to her face.I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.I enjoyed both reactions,so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman,my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse.During those years,my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield.She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others.Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart,as long as Aunt Fannie was alive,she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.
Each August,my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit.One year,after I had helped with the jam process,Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it.“Hold onto this coin,” she said,“and someday you will be rich.I still have my very first coin,given to me by my grandmother.” So,I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie.In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie’s success resulted from that secret recipe.But to me,it was just a common recipe.Neither have made me become a rich person,but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life.Money can make you feel rich for a while,but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱秘方,说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有,唯有和他人的关系、和朋友家人们一起度过的那些幸福日子以及美好回忆才会让我们变得真正富有。

If you’re planning to go on a diet,or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),knowing exactly what and how much you’re eating is essential.In this day and age,we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smart phones,but they act only as guides,while Panasonic’s revolutionary new device,CaloRieco,actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds.
You’ve probably used calorie calculators before,and you know that they only offer general information.For example,a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a burger,but it can’t tell you exactly how many calories are in the burger at your favourite fast food joint.The same goes for nutrients like protein,carbohydrates (碳水化合物) or fats.This is what makes the new Panasonic CaloRieco so special;it can actually give you accurate information on exactly what is on your plate.
Once it’s done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal,CaloRieco displays the number of calories,as well as the nutritional content on an LED display.According to Panasonic,the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods,except soups and very dark dishes.
CaloRieco can also connect to your smart phone via an app,and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld,so you can access it whenever you need.
Panasonic said that its invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers,both of which make up a sizable market.Unfortunately,you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco,as the device presented at CEATEC is just a prototype(样品).It’s scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years,but the price remains a mystery.
【语篇解读】文章介绍了一款能准确计算食物热量与成分的装置。
28.What can calorie calculators you once used tell you
A.General information.
B.The calories in the burger.

D.Nutrients in fats.
答案A

29.What is CaloRieco’s weakness
A.Showing the amount of calories.
B.Listing the nutritional content.
C.Recognizing most foods.
D.Identifying soups and very dark dishes.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods,except soups and very dark dishes”可知,D项正确。
30.What’s Panasonic’s attitude towards the future of CaloRieco
A.Upset.
B.Optimistic.
C.Unclear.
D.Hopeless.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Panasonic said that its invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers,both of which make up a sizable market.”可知,选B项。
31.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A.To tell us how to have a balanced diet.
B.To show the nutrition we need every day.
C.To introduce a device on calorie calculators.
D.To encourage us to buy CaloRieco,a new device.
答案C

D
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However,the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
32.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are”,再根据第二段的第二句“It also operates as an expression of culture identity”可知,文章中提到的食物的作用是显示国家身份,故选B项。
33.What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The specific traditional food.
B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old-fashioned taste.
答案A
解析代词指代题。通读第二段可知,传统食物是文化的一个重要部分,它显示了文化身份,移民不管去哪儿都带着它,它象征着对自己文化的骄傲,也是排解乡愁的方法。由此可推知,it指代传统食物,故选A项。
34.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第四、五句“Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers”可知,移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人,而且卖给来自不同国家的人。为了使菜肴受到顾客的欢迎,一些移民不得不改变传统的菜肴,故选C项。
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative.
B.Balanced.
C.Unfair.
D.Unchangeable.
答案B
解析观点态度题。根据最后一段的第一句“We should embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food”可知,我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统,但也应该通过尝试其他文化的食物来了解更多文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度,故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all need to eat. 36 .Of course,eating alone at home or at a restaurant can be a very satisfying experience.However,eating too many meals alone can be bad for our health and affect our future success.
 37 .Specifically,men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure,high cholesterol and diabetes.
For children,eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes,but it is also about developing good ones.Several studies have looked at the long-term effects that eating with families has on a child.Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship.However,they do suggest a strong link. 38 ,they are less likely to skip school.When they eat a main meal with their families,they are also less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.
Another study found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits.These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. 39 .
If you find too many of your mealtimes to be lonely events,experts suggest making small changes. 40 ,it is still time for a family to be together.If mornings are less busy than evenings,start by making breakfast your shared meal.If you live alone,reach out to those in your social circle or neighbourhood.If you work in an office,step out with a co-worker for a bite to eat every once in a while,instead of eating at your desk every day.
A.If students have meals alone
B.Even if dinner is a salad and a sandwich
C.They also seemed to have better social skills
D.When students shared a main meal with their families
E.You should make room for at least one shared meal a week
F.A recent study suggests that frequently eating alone may lead to poor eating habits
G.Meals could be a chance to spend time with the people in our lives,but sometimes we eat meals alone
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。研究表明,经常独自用餐不但有害于我们的健康,而且还会影响我们的未来。
36.G 根据空格后的句子“Of course,eating alone at home or at a restaurant...”可知,所填的是引出下文的过渡句。G项“在生活中,吃饭是一个能够和他人共度时光的好机会,但是有时我们会独自用餐”符合语境。
37.F 空格后句子是对空格处的进一步解释说明,介绍了独自用餐带来的坏影响。故此处应说明独自用餐的坏处。F项“最近的一项调查表明频繁地独自用餐可能会导致坏的饮食习惯。”符合上下文。
38.D 根据上文的“However,they do suggest a strong link”可知,D项符合语境。
39.C 本段说明了和家人一起用餐给孩子们带来的好的影响。此处承接上文,C项“它们好像也有更好的社交技能”符合语境。
40.B 根据下文的“it is still time for a family to be together”可知,B项可与下文构成让步关系。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the  56 (important) meal in the day.It may actually be true.Recently,a study of more than 50,000 adults aged 30 and older  57  (find) that people who have breakfast are more likely to lose  58  (weigh) than those who don’t eat a morning meal.Other studies connect not eating breakfast  59  a higher risk of high blood pressure,heart disease and so on.
However,it’s not just when you eat that matters,but  60  you eat also matters. 61  (keep) fit,you should have a balanced diet with protein,fiber and healthy fats,which is the key to a satisfying 62  nutritious breakfast.If you want to keep 63 (you) from being hungry later of the day,you’d better eat within 90 minutes after waking up.Also,coffee drunk on an empty stomach is not recommended because it can be 64 (harm) to your body.
There is an old saying that advises “Eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince,and dinner like a beggar”.It is worth  65 (follow).

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。
An old saying goes that a near neighbour is better than a distant cousin.This saying has fully proved that neighbours are so significant in our life.
In the past,neighbours helped one another build houses and clear fields.They could offer timely help when someone was in trouble.Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment.They shared happiness and sorrow from time to time,which brought a harmonious atmosphere.
However,nowadays,lack of communication and interaction between neighbours is a norm.Close relationship between neighbours is not common in our cities.A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them.We live in an age of machines and the Internet,and each family have its own car,TV set,and washing machine.People no longer depend on neighbours as much as they once did.Machines and the Internet keep people apart.In our grandparents’ time,women met while they hung out the washing,and men stopped and talked while they mowed their lawns.Today,they can’t hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers.And women stay inside with their electrical dryers.Children are inside watching their favourite TV shows or playing computer games.
Is the idea of being a good neighbour old-fashioned In 1965,a power cut hit New York City,and many thousands of people were left helpless.Suddenly everyone shared the same problem,and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbours.People with cars offered rides to those walking.Other people helped direct traffic.Trapped in elevators,people played word games and helped keep each other in good spirit.In times of trouble,people still depend on one another.As time goes on,people may once again feel that being a good neighbour is important.

主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:记叙文
Pablo Picasso,born in Spain in 1881,was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.Picasso began painting when he was a small child and took advanced art courses when he was only fifteen.Between 1904 and 1947 Picasso lived in Paris.In 1947 he moved to Riviera,in the south of France.
Many people thought Picasso’s works were strange and unpleasant.Still,he had a great influence on artists in every country.Today,Picasso is regarded as a genius,and his paintings are in the museums all over the world.
In 1912,Picasso actually invented a new type of art.He painted a picture,and then he pasted bits of paper and something else on the picture.This picture of art is called collage(拼贴艺术).
Picasso was not only a painter,but also a sculptor (雕刻家) and a designer of scenery for plays.There are even some photographs of “light paintings” that he created.These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil,or a small flashlight in the air.Although the images could be seen only by people watching them happen,the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.
By the time he died in France in April of 1973,he had created 22,000 works of art.
When he was asked how someone could become an artist,Picasso would reply,“If you want to draw,you must shut your eyes and sing.”

主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:记叙文
Benjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from camel’s hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long,the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve.That year,one of Benjamin’s cousins,Mr Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city,Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting.William Williams,a well-known painter,came to see him work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文,讲述了美国知名画家本杰明·韦斯特的故事以及他的绘画之路。
5.What is the text mainly about
A.Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.
B.Williams’ influence on Benjamin.
C.The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.
D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
答案C
解析主旨大意题。文章从本杰明在六岁时自制画笔作画写起,到后来利用专业工具作画,再到知名画家送给本杰明书籍,都是在讲述本杰明是如何一步步走上艺术之路的。

A.The cat would be closely watched.
B.The cat would get some medical care.
C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.
D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.
答案D
解析推理判断题。由前文可知,本杰明在没有专业画笔之前是用猫的毛制作画笔的。画线句的字面意思是“猫的命运将会得到改善”。由该段后文可知,本杰明的表兄送给了他专业的颜料和画笔。由此可推知D项与画线句的意思相符。
7.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent

C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.
D.He taught him how to make engravings.

(2021新高考Ⅰ卷)
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing(水管)worked. 2 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said,“Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered,and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago,they eat great food and never gain weight. 3  French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead,they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
 4 On our first morning in Paris,I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost $18!
In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率).You can tell this by café life.French cafés are always crowded. 5 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live,in some way,like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“我”与丈夫在巴黎待着的一周时间内,体会巴黎人的生活方式,感悟巴黎的与众不同之处。
1.F 根据下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.”可知,这里表示所以“我”们做的第一件事就是租了一个非常昂贵的六楼公寓。据此可推测,空格内容与下一句之间构成了因果关系。F项“我们的目的是看看,在某种程度上,我们能否像真正的巴黎人那样生活”与下文能够形成因果关系。
2.C 结合下文“Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said,‘Ouverture des portes,’in perfect French.”可知,本部分是在描述公寓的配套设施等内部情况。C项“有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床”正是对公寓内部的介绍。
3.G 通读本段可知,本段主要讲述了巴黎的饮食。与之表述在意义和语境上有重叠的是D项、E项和G项。结合空前后出现的关键词great food,French strawberries以及flavor bombs等可知,G项“食物是如此美味,你不需要太多就能使你快乐”符合语境。
4.E 结合上一段内容,再根据本段内容,尤其是最后一句“But they cost $18!”可知,本段主要讲述“巴黎食物的价格较贵”这一点。E项“那并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因”,既对上一段内容进行了总结,又引出了法国人吃得少的另一个原因。v5.A 结合空前内容“French cafés are always crowded.”及空后的内容“When do these people work ”可知,A项“并不是所有的顾客都是游客”,与上下句表述内容一致,且空后的these people是答题的关键。

Fuchsia Dunlop decided to visit China after reading articles about the country for several months.The one-month backpacking trip exposed the English woman  1  a wide range of Chinese food.“The dishes and soups I had even in the cheapest and plain eateries were better than  2  I had in the UK.” Dunlop recalled.
The last stop of her trip was Chengdu, 3  capital of southwest China’s Sichuan Province.Dunlop learned from friends that Sichuan food represents one of China’s  4  (good) cuisines,and when the spicy flavour of Sichuan pepper exploded in her mouth,something inside her changed forever.
After she returned to London,Dunlop made the decision to study in China at Sichuan University.When she wrote down “studying Chinese  5  (policy) on ethnic groups” on the  6  (apply) form as the reason for a scholarship,what she really had in mind were Sichuan dishes.

主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:议论文
I have observed that Colbie Caillat has a positive influence on pop culture in recent years.Colbie has taken a stand for natural beauty with the release of her hit single,“Try”.The first time I watched the “Try” music video,I felt inspired.
The video shows women of different backgrounds and body types as well as a range of ages.I find the most inspiration in the expressions on all of the women’s faces throughout the video.Each woman has a positive look on her own face as she is shown without make-up.
In today’s society,there is an unbelievable amount of pressure to “look good”.This opening line sets the mood for the video and gives viewers a chance to wonder whether society likes them.The theme of “Try” is that we young women should focus more on our personalities than our looks,contrary to what society wants us to believe.
I have shown this video to both my mother and my grandmother,since the video speaks positive to women of all ages.The inspirational words cause viewers to think deeper about inner beauty,which is quite powerful.My mother and grandmother had similar comments about the video,which inspired further conversation about their opinions of natural beauty in today’s society.
The closing words of the video are:take your make-up off.Let your hair down.Take a breath.Look into the mirror at yourself.Don’t you like you Because I like you.It is important to focus on ourselves and ask ourselves whether we are pleased with ourselves.Colbie’s efforts break the pop culture rules of make-up.Inspiration and positive self-esteem come from within.Inner beauty makes one look good instead of the outside beauty.Colbie’s efforts should be copied to increase the importance of natural beauty in the pop culture and encourage further inspiration for young women in future generations.
【语篇解读】作者借用Colbie Caillat的一首歌曲“Try”诠释了自己对美的看法。

A.It shows all kinds of women with make-up.
B.It advises everyone not to dress up themselves.
C.It helps viewers find who loves them most.

答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,歌曲“Try”的主题在于强调年轻女性应注重自己的内在品质而不是外在美。
3.From the last paragraph,we can infer that    .
A.people shouldn’t make up
B.people should only care about themselves
C.a woman’s real beauty is from the inside

When early colonial settlers went to America,they took many forms of dance to their new home.Square dancing,one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing,developed from several different Old World group dances,mainly English country dances,and the French quadrille(四对方舞).
In the American version,a square is formed by four couples. 1  Each couple stands on one side of the square,the boy on the left and the girl on the right.An American addition to square dancing is the caller.
The caller—someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music—was a completely American invention. 2  Later the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues(暗示).Thus,dancers didn’t have to remember so many steps.The caller didn’t just call out “do-se-do your partner”;a good caller also came up with colourful sayings or witty lines that he would say in between the cues such as “Don’t be bashful(害羞的) and don’t be afraid.”  3 
Although popular for years,square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s,when Henry Ford helped revive interest in it.Ford,the automobile manufacturer,used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts. 4  Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances,but Lovett said he couldn’t because he had a contract with the inn.Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett’s contract.He took Lovett back to Detroit,where together they established a program for teaching square dancing. 5 
A.They stand facing the center of the square.
B.Lovett’s dance program attracted a lot of audience.
C.The caller was important because he told the dancers what to do.
D.At first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance.
E.A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines.
F.There he enjoyed the dance program run by a man named Benjamin Lovett.
G.Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.

Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room.She had not competed since the accident.As she waited for her turn to skate,Laurie was very nervous.Today was very important in her comeback (复出).“If I can win today,” she thought,“I can skate in the World Cup next year.”
Before Laurie had her accident,everyone had said that she was the one to beat.
She thought back to that car accident where her right knee was badly injured.She spent six total months on recovery,treatment and practice because she hoped to regain her skill.
“Hello,Laurie,” one of her friends burst in.“How’s the knee Is it going to slow you down ”
“I guess we’ll find out tonight,” Laurie said.
“There’s a girl named Jinny,strong in everything.She’s the only real competitor you have to beat,” the friend said and hurried out.
Hearing that,Laurie decided to show her most difficult jump.“If I don’t try it,I won’t stand a chance,” she thought.“Does anyone believe that I can still win ”
Suddenly her right knee sent pain up and down her leg.The doctor said it would do that for a while.“What makes you think you have a chance tonight ” she said to herself.
After the pain passed,she moved slowly to warm up.Then she said firmly,“I must win!”
At that moment,a young woman hurried in with a skate equipment bag.She put some of her belongings onto a chair.Her bag fell to the floor.“Hi,I’m Jinny Jordan,” she said.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny.“So this is my competitor,” thought Laurie.“Because of her,I may lose tonight.”
“I’m Laurie Collins,” Laurie told Jinny.“Something fell out of your bag,Jinny.”
As Jinny began to gather her belongings,the door opened.
“Jinny,” someone called,“your tape of music is missing.You are the next one!Laurie,after Jinny.”
“Oh,my God!I thought I had handed it in hours ago,the green box with my name on,”screamed Jinny,hurrying out.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
“Music is so important to the skating,” Laurie said thoughtfully,doing some preparation alone in the dressing room.







Minutes later,Laurie glided to the center of the stadium when her name was called.

“Music is so important to the skating,” Laurie said thoughtfully,doing some preparation alone in the dressing room.Suddenly,she saw something under a chair.She bent over to pick it up.“Jinny’s green box!” she exclaimed.“It must have rolled out of her bag,” Laurie stood motionlessly.“If Jinny doesn’t have her music,she will lose.She is my only real competitor.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this.Then she wondered.“Do I really want to win so much ” Laurie hesitated for a second.Then she hurried out to give Jinny her music tape.Jinny was grateful to Laurie,and finished the skating successfully.
Minutes later,Laurie glided to the center of the stadium when her name was called.Nervous as she was,she tried to skate in time with her music.Then she did her most difficult jump.“Good,” she thought to herself,“my right knee’s holding up.” As the music ended,applause filled the stadium.When the marks appeared,Laurie knew she achieved her goal.As she walked back to the dressing room,Laurie thought about Jinny’s music tape.“No one will know how close I really came to losing,” Laurie said softly to herself.

Dear friends,
My topic today is music.As is known to all,music is the universal language to all human beings.It plays an important part in our life and makes our life more colourful.Without music,our world would be like a wild desert.
There are different varieties of music,such as popular music,classical music,country music,jazz music,rap music and rock music.
Of all the music,I like popular music best.For one thing,with beautiful melody,it is pleasant to hear;for another,most popular music deals with the topics of love and friendship,which appeals to us young people.
That’s all.Thank you.
文化意识
A world language—music
It can be accepted widely that music is a world language.Music gradually appeared with the development of human beings.And music with different styles has come into being with the formation of cultures’ differences,which also show the diversities in the way of thinking between the east and the west.But,in general,people can read mutual minds through music even if they are from different cultures.So music is a world language to a certain extent.
Different music instruments have been created by people to perform different music with various styles.Piano,violin,tuba,accordion are representatives of western music instruments,while qin,zhong,pipa,erhu,guzheng are mainly invented by Chinese people.The music played on different music instruments shows its own unique styles.Sometimes,creative persons try to find a new way to combine the eastern and western music instruments and make out a new music style.And some of their works are so successful,bringing completely new feelings to the audience.第三单元测评

Technology companies usually focus their benefits on making people stay in the office longer:ping-pong tables,game rooms,on-site training rooms;some even offer laundry services.We,ABC Company,don’t do any of these.Instead,we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible.We designed our benefits system to reflect that.Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.
Vacation:For the last three years in a row,we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift.Everything is paid for and included.Specific,pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain or singles to go to Lijiang,China—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer Weeks:From May through October,everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week.This started out as “Friday’s off”,but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.
To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.
17.Why does ABC Company offer the benefits to its employees
A.To keep them staying longer in the office.
B.To encourage them to work overtime.
C.To help them to get away from the computer.

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all,but owned by none—that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)—the soft sand.He sometimes spends days working on a piece,only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago,when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick.He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish.Since then,Jim has travelled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years,his drawings have become bigger,but the tools he uses haven’t changed—All he needs is a stick,a garden rake(耙) and most importantly,his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist,Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas,sometimes walking for miles,in search of perfect sand.His latest piece of work,which is also the world’s largest freelance drawing(自由绘画),was created in the desert sands of Nevada.It took Jim three trips,eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art.It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However,Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand—he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”,whose motto is to celebrate food at its source.Accordingly,group dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal.The events,which are held in different farms throughout America,are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

(2021全国Ⅰ卷)
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution,but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术家本杰明用塑料垃圾创作了雕塑作品从而引起人们对塑料垃圾的注意和警惕。

Changes have been taking place in Philadelphia since 1984.One by one,graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art.So far,more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted.Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art,thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP).Its work makes schools and public places attractive,and its citizens very proud.The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network.Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director.“When people ask me what our program is about,” she says,“I answer them with one word:hope.” Each year,the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops.Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP’s work,says Golden,is all about developing a sense of community.When a neighbourhood requests a mural,the MAP works with the people there to develop a message.Some messages have been “Safe Streets” “Love and Care” and “Peace Walk”.
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week.Last year,the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people’s collective memory as an extraordinary,pleasant moment in neighbourhood history,” says Golden,who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。自1984年起,费城的涂鸦墙逐渐被壁画墙取代,变成了一种户外艺术。这一活动由MAP发起,旨在传播希望。当一个街区有需求时,MAP会与他们一起想一个主题,再绘画。壁画墙的制作在街区历史上将成为一个非凡、愉快的时刻留在人们记忆中。

A.By having discussions with people in the community.
B.By seeking advice from the city government.

35.Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP
A.Difficult. B.Dangerous.
C.Experimental. D.Successful.
答案D

It was late spring when my mum and I were driving through the countryside.Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with mum.However,little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in he back seat,whose pleasant smell filled the car.Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mum pulled over.“What are you doing ” I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.Fortunately,that wasn’t the case.My mum hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently,I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mum reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we went on with our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about mum’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse,because neither my mum nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by,since we had seen so few along the way.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
I let out a sigh while my mum rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.






As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.

I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,mum and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help.God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them.While we were laughing and talking merrily,we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.第二单元测评

My first job was in Jessif,in the east of Poland.I was promised that I wasn’t going to have to teach any beginners or any little children because it was my first job.I was promptly given the beginners.On my first day of teaching I was given a book which said,“Ah!Go into the classroom and say hello to the children and they’ll all say hello back to you and wave.” I walked into a class of five four-year olds,followed by all their mothers and grandmothers and I said“Hello” and they all burst into tears.I spent half the lesson trying to get them to say “Hello” to each other and stop them from crying while all the grandmothers stood around and stared at me.I finally finished off my singing Happy Princess Song,all on my own,with crying children to accompany me.It was one of the worst days of my life.I could feel the same with all the children though,because I wanted to sit on the floor and cry with them by the end of it.Then I realized that teaching kids was never going to be my career.I had some other classes as well but quit soon after that and moved onto adults who cry slightly less.Yeah,that was my first teaching experience.Not the best.

Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his fantastic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge electronic screen at New York’s Times Square.
“It’s sort of the American dream to see your name up in lights,” says the 25-year-old New Jersey native.“I’d never really cared about my name being that big,but going to New York and seeing the big screens,you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there.”
The video that helps Scholar fulfill his “American dream” was shot and produced in China,where Scholar is living and working as a media company owner.Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University.The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai,spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting,calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument.He also fell in love with the city,where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao,or steamed meat buns,and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.
Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient,modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation,so he returned two years later,when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.
Thanks to a combination of luck and talent,he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner,and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons,fashionists,and art museums in merely six months.The video that plays at Times Square,a tourism promotional film for southwest China’s Chongqing city,is the company’s first project contracted(签合同) by a local government in China.

A large number of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint,write,or draw.Many believe that music helps creativity.
However,an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion.Psychologists from Lancaster University,the University of Gavle,and the University of Central Lancashire say that their findings show music actually blocks creativity.
To come to their conclusions,researchers had participants(参与者) complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room,and then again while music played in the background.They found that background music “badly affected” the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.
The tasks were simple word games.For example,participants were given three words,such as dress,dial and flower.Then,they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word.The single word,in this case,would be “sun” (sundress,sunflower,etc).
Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room,or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar words,instrumental music,or music with familiar words.“We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr.Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.
To conclude,the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity,and instead prove that music consistently disrupts creative performance in dealing with problems.

One of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley.He made the rock and roll music popular all over the world.He sold millions of records and made many successful films,and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.
Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935.His parents were simple country people who often took him to church,where he learned to sing,and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.
When he was young,Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee,where he attended high school,but he was not a good student.His only real interest was singing.He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.
In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother’s birthday.The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music.It was country and western music,but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South.It was called “blues”.
Shortly after that,Elvis met Tom Parker,who became his manager and arranged (安排) concerts for him across the United States and new recordings as well.Soon Elvis became famous around the country.Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.
But Elvis found it difficult to live with success.Like many other famous people,he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer.When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977,his millions of fans were shocked.“The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said.But today his memory and his music live on and will always be remembered as the King of Rock and Roll.

(I) direction.By now I was telling myself that if she could perform in front of hundreds of people 62.      she didn’t know,I could at least tell her how good she sounded.I walked over,put some money in her carriage and 63. (say),“Thank you.I have been going through a hard time 64. (late),but you’ve made me 65.      (will) to try again.”
答案与解析
【语篇解读】音乐能鼓舞人心,催人奋进。作者在失意时,正是因为听到了一首美好的乐曲,才再次尝试奋进。

58.songs 考查名词复数。song为可数名词,前面没有限定词,故应用复数形式。
59.watching 考查非谓语动词。watch与主语I为主动关系,且是伴随stood这一动作而发生的,故用动词-ing形式作状语。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The familiar yellow school bus is the largest system of mass transportation in the US and every school day transports roughly 25 million young people to school and home again after the school day ends.Meanwhile,they are the safest method for getting kids to and from school.Children are 70 times more likely to arrive at school safely on the school bus than if they had traveled to school driving themselves or riding with friends.
These school buses meet more of the nation’s motor vehicle safety standards than any other vehicles on the road.Also,several new technologies available today are making school buses even safer,such as video cameras on the inside and outside,stop-arm cameras,GPS tracking and collision lessening systems.Another safety tool on school buses is high seat backs,closely-spaced seats and energy-absorbing seating.
But even the safeness of school buses would not completely sum up why children are safer when riding the big,yellow bus.The bus is only as safe as the professional men and women who drive them.All drivers must obtain a Class B or C Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).In order to serve as a school bus driver,most applicants are required to successfully complete a training course,along with instruction in the classroom and behind the wheel.
School buses are safe for the environment,not only because each bus replaces 36 passenger cars that would,but for the buses,be on the road taking and picking up school children.Additionally,school buses use alternative green fuels like natural gas,and electric power.
Todd Monteferrario,President of the National School Transportation Association,said parents should remember that the safest and smartest choice is to put their children on the big yellow bus when they can.

It’s no secret that fruit is a smart part of a healthy diet.They are likely to be better for you than any other food.But is all fruit created equal Let’s find out which fruits are the best if you’re looking to lose weight.
Apples are a common favourite.They’re the finest snack: filling,juicy,crunchy(易碎的),and easy to take along.Studies have even shown that eating three apples per day can help with weight loss.
There are plenty of ways to eat apples:Chow down on a whole apple,add apple pieces to your meal,throw apple balls into a salad,bake some with your chicken,or cook up a low-calorie dessert.
Watermelon is low in calories with high water content.This means you can eat two entire cups of watermelon for less than 100 calories and your stomach will feel like you’ve eaten more because the fruit is more than 90 percent water.This way,you’ll avoid higher-calorie foods and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Raspberries are small but powerful!These babies are low in calories and even lower when you consider that they’re high in indigestible(可消化的) fiber.Raspberries have the highest fiber content of any fruit (1 cup = 8g fiber).
Grapefruit gives you a lot of help for your calorie avoidance.A middle-size grapefruit has only around 80 calories,and like watermelon,it’s more than 90 percent water.Plus,studies have shown that a compound(化合物) in grapefruit called naringin could lower blood sugar and lead to weight loss.So enjoy some grapefruit at every chance—press it into your water,throw some into your salad,or use it like lemon to flavour your food.Keep in mind that eating grapefruit with certain medicine could have harmful influence.If you’re on any prescription(药方),check with your doctor before adding grapefruit to your diet.

Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to lower the risk of depression by four fold.While 7.6 percent of the 13,000 people surveyed reported depressive symptoms,just 1.5 percent of the chocolate eaters did.The study also found that the people who consumed the most of any chocolate were also 57 percent less likely to report depressive symptoms.
The study is the first to examine the association with depression according to the type of chocolate consumed.The team assessed data from 13,626 adults from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
A range of other factors including height,weight,marital status,education,household income,physical activity,smoking and chronic(慢性的) health problems were also taken into account to ensure the study only measured chocolate’s effect on depressive symptoms.
After adjusting for these factors,it was found that individuals who reported eating any dark chocolate in two 24-hour periods had 70 percent lower odds of reporting clinically relevant depressive symptoms in the previous two weeks than those who reported not eating chocolate at all.
Chocolate contains a number of psychoactive ingredients (精神活性成分) which produce a feeling of euphoria(兴奋感) similar to that of cannabinoid(大麻素),found in cannabis.It also contains phenylethylamine(苯基乙胺),which is believed to be important for regulating people’s moods.
However British scientists urged caution about the findings,suggesting that the decision to eat dark chocolate could be linked to other health factors.For example people who choose dark chocolate may be more health conscious in general,which is known to protect against depression.
Depressed people are also more likely to crave more sugary fatty foods and so could be less likely to pick a dark alternative when choosing chocolate.
