A
[2019·江苏扬州期末]Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce (酱汁), probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants (移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people — hearing the real putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food, “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food... Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn't go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home, “Have they given you dog meat yet？” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one's family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not — chicken claws, duck heads and some animals' organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You'll be glad to know that in my experience, and the impressions have been very good.
【语篇解读】 由于很多广东人移民到英美国家，英美国家的人对中国菜的印象就是广东菜的样子，但现在他们的这种观点正在慢慢转变。
1．Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real putonghua?
A．Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B．Because they all find it hard to learn.
C．Because it's different from what they hear.
D．Because nobody has been to China before.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people”可知，大部分英国人模仿的是广东话，所以当他们听到普通话时，他们感到很吃惊，故选C。
2．What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A．Popular. B．Richer.
C．Tastier. D．Best.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food”可知，Ken Hom认为现在的中国食物的种类越来越丰富。
3．How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A．By giving examples. B．By listing data.
C．By analyzing. D．By reasoning.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。第三段主要讲述了英国人对中国食物的态度正在转变，为了佐证这一观点，作者拿一位美籍华人厨师Ken Hom的观点当做例证，因此选A。
4．What can we infer from “Have they given you dog meat yet”？
A．Foreigners don't like eating dog meat at all.
B．Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.
C．Chinese eat everything including dog meat.
D．There are differences between cultures.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like ‘eating a member of one's family’ according to Vision Times”可知，由于文化差异，在美国人看来狗是家庭的一员，因此他们觉得中国人吃狗肉不可思议，故选D。
B
In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的) education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance of continuing their studies at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD.
Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career (职业), such as clothing design, or business studies.

D．Because there are not enough private schools.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第一段的“In most developed countries...educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life.”可知选B。

A．the cities

If you want to write a strong essay, it is important to make sure you have three clear parts in your paper: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
__1__. It's used to catch your readers' attention and tell them what the essay will be about. Start with information they will need to know in order to understand your topic. Your thesis statement (论点) tells the readers the point or main idea of your essay. __2__ Besides, many teachers suggest making your first sentence eye-catching.
Once you have written a good opening paragraph, it is time to write the body. You'll usually produce at least three supporting paragraphs. __3__ After you have written a supporting paragraph, read it and ask yourself: does it prove what I'm trying to say? Remember, if you want to write a strong essay, one paragraph will center on one idea. __4__
Finally, a strong essay should end with a strong conclusion. When writing this paragraph, ask yourself the following question. __5__ This is your last chance to make an impression on your readers, so tell them one last time what you wanted to prove and how you proved it. Be sure not to simply restate your thesis statement.
A．So, it should appear in the first paragraph.
B．Does this paragraph support my thesis statement?
C．What do I want them to walk away thinking about?
D．Your first paragraph is probably the most important.
E．Of course, you can have as many as you need to prove your point.
F．In other words, you want to attract your readers and keep them reading.
G．If you have two ideas in a single paragraph, break it up into two paragraphs.

2．答案与解析：A'第二段中的“Your thesis statement tells the readers the point or main idea of your essay”与A项内容形成因果关系；且A项中的it指代“Your thesis statement”。
3．答案与解析：E'上文中的“supporting paragraphs”与E项中的“prove your point”在语意上相关；本空前一句说明一般情况，E项内容说明其他情况。
4．答案与解析：G'上文“one paragraph will center on one idea”与G项中的“two ideas in a single paragraph”存在关联；本空前一句介绍恰当写法：一段说明一个观点，而G项是对这个写法的补充说明。

A year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.
We waited for an hour and were getting desperate, We wouldn't be able to stay overnight (在夜里) because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p．m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift. I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my thanks to them.
When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a worker stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare (车费)．
The worker shook his head and said, “No.” On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own plight a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare, What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt light-hearted and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had done. May this chain of kindness continue!

If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.
Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.
Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.
The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

Ⅴ.短文改错
During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us the quiz. I didn't think the question were difficult until I read the last one, “What is the name of the woman who clean the school？” I wasn't a careful person and I was not interesting in such a thing. I had seen the woman cleaning the school several times. She was tall, dark-haired or in her 50s, but how could I know your name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class was ended, one student asked if the last question would count. “Certain，” said the professor, “In your careers you will meet much people. All are very important. They should be respected you.”
