My dad doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does. Every Saturday he produces homemade bread. When he’s finished, the whole house smells delicious.
The rest of the week, Dad works as a mechanic (机修工). The car repair shop where Dad works is running so well that he is always busy. He is under a lot of stress. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax.
I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I failed to join the school swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again. Besides, I’m taking some difficult classes this year.
I think Dad knew I was feeling bad. Last Saturday he asked me how things were going. I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all. He looked at me for a moment, and then he said it was time for me to help. Then he headed to the kitchen.
I followed right behind him. Once we were there, Dad got out his big mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden spoon, and told me to mix while he added the ingredients (配料). Dad isn’t big on measuring. He knows how much of each ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great.
When I had finished, Dad showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团). Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl and then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly rise and double in size. Next, we divided it into two and waited for it to rise again. After that, we put the dough into pans (烤盘) and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double.
Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part. “Listen to me, Diana. It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the baking oven, but if you do, the bread will be hard. The most important lesson of all is learning to be patient.” Dad taught me more than how to bake bread.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking (皮艇运动) or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed travelers who enjoy peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the travelers’ lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine (常规) and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
28．Which of the following is a quiet traveler most likely to choose
A．Backpacking across a country. B．White water rafting.
C．Hiking to some mountains. D．Wine tasting in a foreign bar.
29．What is Not mentioned as a factor of adventure travels
A．Health condition. B．Financial (财务的) situation.
C．Personal safety. D．Personal preference.
30．Which is the most important to have an adventure travel
A．Whether you enjoy yourself. B．Whether you try something dangerous.
C．Where you go for the traveling. D．What you do in the traveling.
31．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Tips on Adventure Travel. B．What Is Adventure Travel.
C．Who Is Interested in Adventure Travel. D．Popular Places for Adventure Travel.
A team of communication professors from the Brigham Young University discovered that people using the social media platform Facebook can be divided into four different categories (类别) . Their findings basically tell us why an average of l.28 billion people check their Facebook every day, with most users spending about 35 minutes daily on Facebook.
To identify (鉴定) different kinds of Facebook users, the researchers made a list of 48 reasons why people use Facebook. They then asked study subjects to report their personal connection to the reasons, rating each from “most like me” to “least like me”. To get a better understanding of them, the researchers interviewed each subject.
Based on the results, the researchers identified four categories of Facebook users: relationship builders, town criers (街头公告员) , selfies (自拍) and window shoppers.
Relationship builders and selfies often post pictures, videos and text updates on their Facebook. Relationship builders post mainly to further strengthen the relationships they have beyond the virtual (虚拟的) world. Selfies are more focused on getting attention, likes and comments. Town criers often post information, and share news stories and details of events. On the other hand, window shoppers are more likely to be onlookers who prefer watching what other people do.
The researchers noted that Facebook users may place themselves in more than one of the categories. For example, most people are likely to be selfies. However, users can find themselves more in one category than the others.
32．What can we learn from paragraph 1
A．Most users visit Facebook every day.
B．Facebook seriously affects people’s normal lives.
C．1.28 billion people in total have registered Facebook.
D．Users spend at most 35 minutes on Facebook every day.
33．What did the researchers ask the subjects to do
A．Posting pictures on Facebook.
B．Sharing what they do on Facebook.
C．Explaining why they use Facebook.
D．Dividing the users into four categories.
34．What is the difference between relationship builders and selfies
A．Selfies enjoy making comments on others.
B．Selfies intend to get more attention from others.
C．Relationship builders take an interest in the virtual world.
D．Relationship builders use Facebook to share details of events.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Facebook is becoming more and more popular.
B．People can’t live comfortably without Facebook.
C．Researchers suggest limiting time on Facebook.

Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。标准答题卡每段9.5行
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.

The first class is maths. I like maths. It’s easy. There are twenty-three students in my maths class, including a few exchange students who come from different nations. Chemistry is a bit boring, and there are twenty students in that class. The teacher likes to wear formal clothes and he looks nice. My English class is small. Our English teacher always gives great lectures and I think it’s fun to speak English. Science is the biggest class. There are thirty students in that class-twenty boys and ten girls. Science is very hard, though. Each class, we have a test. I don’t like that! The first class in the afternoon is physics and I like it best. The last class of the day is music, and we are active in that class.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员关于Facebook用户四个种类的发现。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A team of communication professors from the Brigham Young University discovered that people using the social media platform Facebook can be divided into four different categories (类别). Their findings basically tell us why an average of l.28 billion people check their Facebook every day, with most users spending about 35 minutes daily on Facebook. (Brigham Young大学的传播学教授团队发现，使用社交媒体平台Facebook的人可以分为不同的四类。他们的研究结果基本上告诉我们，为什么平均有12.8亿人每天查看Facebook，大多数用户每天在Facebook上花35分钟)”可知，调查的结果回答了每天平均有12.8亿人登陆Facebook的原因，由此可知，大部分用户有每天看Facebook的倾向。故选A项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To identify (鉴定) different kinds of Facebook users, the researchers made a list of 48 reasons why people use Facebook. They then asked study subjects to report their personal connection to the reasons, rating each from “most like me” to “least like me”. To get a better understanding of them, the researchers interviewed each subject. (为了鉴定不同类型的Facebook用户，研究人员列出了人们使用Facebook的48个原因。然后，他们要求研究对象报告他们与这些原因的个人联系，从“最像我”到“最不像我”对每个人进行评级。为了更好地了解他们，研究人员采访了每位实验对象。)”可知研究人员列出了人们使用Facebook的48个原因，然后让每个实验对象报告他们与这些原因的个人联系，也就是说让他们在这些原因中找出跟他们使用Facebook的原因最像的那个，即研究人员让每个实验对象说明他们使用Facebook的原因；故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Relationship builders and selfies often post pictures, videos and text updates on their Facebook. Relationship builders post mainly to further strengthen the relationships they have beyond the virtual (虚拟的) world. Selfies are more focused on getting attention, likes and comments. (人际关系建立者和自拍者经常在他们的 Facebook上发布图片、视频和文本更新。关系建立者发布主要是为了进一步加强他们在虚拟世界之外的关系。自拍者更注重获得关注、点赞和评论。)”可知玩自拍的人主要是为了获得更多关注、点赞和评论；故选项B“Selfies intend to get more attention from others (自拍者是为了获得更多的关注)”表述正确；故选B项。
35．主旨大意题。文章开头点明主题，即使用社交媒体平台Facebook的用户可分为四个不同的类别，而文章后面的段落都是围绕此主题来进行阐述的，故选项D“Researchers have identified four kinds of Facebook users (研究人员鉴定了四种Facebook用户)”是本文主旨；故选D项。
36．G 37．F 38．B 39．C 40．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了旅行前学习新语言的技巧。
36．上文“To learn a language, you do not have to take full time classes.(要学习一门语言，你并不一定要参加全日制课程的学习)”说明不必参加全日制课程也可以学习语言，该空承上启下，下文的小标题给出了一些学习建议，因此G选项“你可以按照下面的建议，在旅行前快速掌握一些基本知识”符合语境。故选G。
37．上文“Learning a language doesn’t happen overnight. Think of it like learning an instrument or training for a marathon.(学习一门语言并非一蹴而就。可以把它比作学习一种乐器或者为马拉松比赛进行训练那样)”结合该段小标题“Practise (练习)”强调了练习的重要。F选项“你所需要的时间取决于你学习的语言、练习的频率和学习方式”符合语境，说明学习语言不是一蹴而就的，需要投入时间。故选F。
38．根据后文“One good way to practise is to use the language you’re learning. Speaking to a native speaker is the best choice because they can train you better and correct your mistakes. Find one on the Internet or in real life and strike a conversation with them.There are some free language exchange websites where you can find native speakers to practise with.(一种有效的练习方法就是运用你正在学习的语言。与母语人士交流是最佳选择，因为他们能更好地训练你并纠正你的错误。可以在网上或现实中找到这样的人，并与他们进行对话。还有一些免费的语言交流网站，你可以在那里找到可以一起练习的母语人士)”可知，该设空处为段落小标题。这一段主要讲了和讲母语的人交谈是学习当地语言的一个好方法。所以该段落小标题为B选项“与母语人士交谈”，该段落中多次出现native speakers，与B选项中的native speakers呼应。故选B。
39．上文“There are some free language exchange websites where you can find native speakers to practise with.(有一些免费的语言交流网站，你可以在上面找到母语人士一起练习交流)”指出了寻找练习机会的渠道，该空承接上文，指出寻找练习机会的另外一个方法。C选项“你也可以找一个私人课程来参加”，其中also是一个提示词。故选C。
40．上文“Apps like Google Translate, Duolingo, Bilingual or Hi Native can help you to learn languages quickly. Those apps can help you learn the language effectively.(像谷歌翻译、多洛林、双语或“嗨，母语人士”这样的应用程序能够帮助你快速学习语言。这些应用程序能够有效地帮助你学习语言)”指出了这些语言学习应用的优点，结合下文“they are not necessarily the best choice.(它们不一定是最好的选择)”与上文是转折关系，可推断E选项“但如果你时间紧迫，想要掌握基本知识”切题，与上文是转折关系，说明其缺点。故选E。
41．B 42．C 43．A 44．D 45．C 46．D 47．B 48．A 49．A 50．C 51．D 52．C 53．B 54．D 55．B

I’m excited to tell you that our school is going to hold a Music Lunch Recital.
In order to enrich our life and ease the study pressure, the Music Lunch Recital will be held in the lecture hall from 12:30 to 13:30 on December 11th. During the recital, several honoured guests will be invited to play some famous pieces, including Butterfly Lovers. I know you are very interested in traditional Chinese music, so I think it’s a great opportunity for you to appreciate the well-known pieces.
Eagerly looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,

67．One possible version:
Under the burning sun, my mom was mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流涞背). Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew it’s so hard for mom to earn money.
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a parasol/portable electric fan/bottle of sunscreen for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the parasol/electric fan/bottle of sunscreen. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money.
