Robert Frost (1874—1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century，a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens.In his life，Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works—more than any other poet in American history.His most famous poems include“The Road Not Taken”“Fire and Ice”and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”．Though he is widely read，Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.
Though born in California，Frost was brought up in New England，where he is inseparably linked.After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream，he remained upset for years，producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile.Finally，Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London.It was，and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain.Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost's work and brought it back to the United States，publicizing it insistently.Soon afterwards Frost's collections became bestsellers，and he a famous figure.
From then on，Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry.In 1961，he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration (总统就职典礼)of John F．Kennedy.He recited his poem，“The Gift Outright” from memory at the ceremony.This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly，Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.
1．What makes Frost “the statesman of American letters”？
A．The comments of other writers.
B．His literary achievements.
C．The complexity of his poems.
D．His political activities.

A．He continued writing after his graduation from Dartmouth College.
B．He was well received in London for his first collection.

D．He produced enough works to achieve literary success.

B．The publication of his first collection.
C．The invitation from John F．Kennedy.
D．The recommendation by Amy Lowell.

Alongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive.But it's a lot more than that.As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote, “The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”
Nowadays, for most people in the world's wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.
Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.
And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”．It's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.
But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.
Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.
This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way.But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks -European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves.
So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have.After all, food is essential for survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.
9．According to Mariette Dichristina, what has the closest relationship with us?
A．Air. B．Water.
C．Food. D．Human beings.
10．What does the underlined word “foodie” in Paragraph 4probably mean?
A．Delicious food.
B．A person fond of food.
C．A social media app.
D．A photo of delicious meals.
11．Who can get help from food banks?
A．Poor people in the UK.
B．Poor people in Africa.
C．Starving children in Kenya.
D．People in the drought-stricken.
12．What's the best title for the text?
A．Treat Food as a Hobby
B．Time to Appreciate Food
C．Food Shortage in Some Countries
D．How to Spend World Food Day
答案与解析
本文是一篇议论文。许多人将美食当作嗜好，他们在社交媒体上晒美食照片，但是他们并没有想到在世界的许多地方人们还忍饥挨饿，这就是世界粮食日成立的原因。珍惜粮食，从我做起！
9．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中Mariette Dichristina所说的“The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”可知，我们最亲密的关系不是人与人之间的关系，而是我们的身体和食物之间的关系；据此可知，Mariette Dichristina认为和我们关系最亲密的是食物，故C项正确。
10．B 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的第二句“It's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.”可知，这些人最喜欢在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片；结合画线词所在句子中的“thinks of themselves as a ‘foodie’”可以判断，该处画线词指人，故foodie意为“美食爱好者”，故B项正确。
11．A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的最后一句“But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks ...who can't afford to pay for it themselves.”可知，即使是在英国，低收入家庭也被迫要使用食物银行；该组织是一个向那些无钱购买食物的人捐赠食物的欧洲组织。据此可知，贫穷的英国人可以获得食物银行的帮助，故A项正确。
12．B 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，许多人将美食当作嗜好，他们在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片，享受着美味食品，但是他们并没有想到在世界的许多地方人们还忍饥挨饿，这就是世界粮食日成立的原因。据此推断，B项正确。

Happiness begins from appreciation
If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive.When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune keeps occurring, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive.__1__
It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you.__2__ If you start with one small, positive thing and appreciate it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life.With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you.__3__
● Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day！”
● When you see the rise of gas prices, say “I am so glad to have a vehicle in which to get around.”
● When your boss is too hard on you, say “I am grateful for my job as I know that many don't have one.”
● If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: “I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk, my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works.”
● Write down what you're grateful for each day.In moments when you're feeling really down, read loud what you wrote previously.__4__If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer.
The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation.__5__

Throughout the past few years, I have tried to give myself to others.I have bounced around to find where I truly fit in, I found my place while I stayed in Guatemala, an orphanage (孤儿院)with the children living there.Through hearing many stories of their lives，I was moved to tears and started question my living ways and gave up everything that wasn't essential: makeup and any other sort of luxury (奢侈品)．I lived like they did.It was the most relaxing feeling in the world.
When at Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, we were given the task of creating a pig pen(猪圈)．At first, I thought it should be easy.After arriving at the area where the pig pen should be, we saw a hill.We were told to uproot the weeds as well as level the entire area.Looking at it we felt it would be impossible.On my own faith journey, I have felt this type of doubt before.The “hole” , as we referred to, is a symbol of my faith journey.It appeared to be an obstacle I could not overcome, but in the end I completed it with efforts.I feel this pig pen wasn't easy to create but was so rewarding to give.
I've always struggled to be on a journey of faith, but I've never completely stepped foot onto the path until Guatemala.I've always tried to open my heart to everyone around me and give them my love. I feel as though I cut open my heart and share every bit of love I had with these orphans.There is one orphan named Ceto who will always remain very close to my heart.In Guatemala, I sponsor with thirty dollars a month, but it doesn't seem enough.I'll return there next summer and give more of my love for a whole month.
When it was time to leave，I looked out of the window and saw not just ordinary children.Overall, the most significant accomplishment I made in Guatemala was stepping towards my own faith journey and not looking back.
4．What resulted in the author's decision to live a new life?
A．Desire to help others.
B．Decrease in his income.
C．A knowledge of the orphans' life.
D．Awareness of the difficulty in his life.
5．What does the underlined word “it ”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Removing the doubt.
B．Uprooting the weed.
C．Starting the faith journey.
D．Creating the pig pen.
6．What did the author think of his experience in Guatemala?
A．It was regretful. B．It was meaningful.
C．It was interesting. D．it was frightening.
7．What may be the best title for the text?
A．A Step into a New World
B．An Awful Faith Journey
C．A Great Success in Life
D．A Return of Confidence
答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在危地马拉期间，改变了自己的生活，从而改变了自己的人生。
4．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I found my place while I stayed in Guatemala, an orphanage (孤儿院)，with the children living there.Through hearing many stories of their lives, I was moved to tears and started to question my living ways and gave up everything that wasn't essential”可知，作者了解到孤儿的生活之后，决定改变自己的生活。故选C。
5．D 代词指代题。根据其后句“I feel this pig pen wasn't easy to create but was so rewarding to give.”可以猜测出，it代指Creating the pig pen.建造猪圈这件事。故选D。
6．B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Overall, the most significant accomplishment I made in Guatemala was stepping towards my own faith journey and not looking back.”可以推断出，作者认为在危地马拉的经历是有意义的。故选B。
7．A 标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段中的“Overall, the most significant accomplishment I made in Guatemala was stepping towards my own faith journey and not looking back.”可以推断出在危地马拉期间，作者改变了自己的生活，从而改变了人生。故用A Step into a New World作为本文的标题。故选A。
[名师点睛]
这是一篇人物故事类阅读。阅读文章时，一定要明白作者在危地马拉是如何改变人生的。做细节理解题时，一定要找到文章的原句。如第4小题，重点抓住第一段“I found my place while I stayed in Guatemala”以及后面的句子就可以找出答案。做推理判断题时，切不可凭自己的主观想象来代替文章事实，而是要通过文章的事实，再进行符合逻辑的推理，最终判断出正确的答案。

答案与解析
这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin捡到了作者的钱包，在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还钱包。作者深受感动。文章叙述了事情的来龙去脉和作者的感受。
1．C 根据前文的“fear seized me.My wallet was gone.”可以推知，作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，而汽车正在开往某个作者未知的地方，这使得找回钱包的希望渺茫，因此作者心生“恐惧”。故C选项(unknown)切题。
2．D 根据上一段中的“fear seized me”可以推知，作者在发现丢了钱包之后的第一感觉是“害怕”。之后，作者开始在内心计算找回钱包里的那些东西所需要的时间和钱数。故该空应和fear表达的意思相近，D选项(heart-stopping)切题：令人心跳停止的，惊心动魄的。
3．B 该空指下文中提到的“the credit cards, the driver's license, the cash”，这些都是钱包里装的东西。故选B(content)：所含之物，所容纳之物。
4．B 两小时后有人敲门，丈夫去应门。B选项(answer)切题：应(门)；接(电话)；应答。
5．A 结合下文的陈述可知，那位女士捡到了作者的钱包，她拾金不昧，将钱包完璧归赵。由此可以推知，该处指“钱包里的钱一分也没有丢失”。故A选项(missing)切题：不见的，丢失的。
6．D 作者甚至还没有来得及到门口感谢那位女士，她就离开了。该空表示“甚至”，故选D选项(even)：甚至。
7．C 在网上分享了这个故事之后，作者收到了某个人的来信，这个人确认了那位女士是Erin Smith。C选项(identify)切题：确认，认出，识别。
8．A 找到了那位拾金不昧的女士，作者当然要“马上，毫不耽搁地”打电话去感谢对方。A选项(delay)切断：耽搁，延迟。
9．D 作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上，Erin是在一个座位上发现了它。该空表示“发现”，故选D选项(spot)：发现，认出。
10．C 根据文章最后一段中的“a bitterly cold night”可知，这件事发生在一个寒冷的晚上。同时，Erin又不认识作者。由此推知，该句应指：Erin估计去一个陌生人的家是一个冒险的举动。C选项(calculate)正确：估算，估计，预料。
11．B 根据下文中的转折词but可知，该句和“she decided to take the chance(她决定冒险)”是转折关系。那么该句应指去一个陌生人家是一个冒险的举动。故B选项(risky)正确：冒险的。
12．C 该句叙述的是Erin当时的想法：“如果我处在那种情况下(指丢了钱包这种情形)，我希望有个人努力地找到我”。该空表示“情况，情形”，故选C选项(situation)：情况，情形。
13．A 作者丢了钱包，对于作者来说，这是一个“危机，危难时刻”。故选A选项(crisis)：危机，危难时刻。
14．D Erin捡到了作者的钱包，在归还作者之前，钱包在Erin的手里，Erin暂时“拥有，占有”作者的钱包。故D选项正确。take possession of意为“拥有，占有”。
15．A Erin把作者的驾照图片发到一个论坛里，想看看是否有人认识作者。该空表示“是否”，故选A选项(if)：是否。
16．B 根据后面的转折词but可知，该句和后面一句(她们想帮忙)是转折关系，由此推知，该句指：除了闲聊，作者和那两位妈妈从来没有说过话，即：从未和她们“交换过词语”。B选项(exchange)正确：交换，互换。
17．A 作者曾经读到这样的说法：人们比以往更加四分五裂，即：人们不像以前那样团结，不像以前那样互相帮助了。但是，作者遇到的这些人的行为方式不是那样的。上文中提到的Erin，two moms都是作者遇到的人。故A选项(encounter)正确：偶遇，遇到，邂逅。
18．C 回顾发生的这件事，作者感到很幸运：有人想帮助一个陌生人。C选项(look back)正确：回顾，追忆。
19．D 根据倒数第二段中提到的“people are more divided”可以推知，一般人在捡到别人的钱包后，都不会像Erin那样亲自归还失主。因此该句指：Erin的所作所为远远超越了其他人的行为。该空表示“超过，超越”，故选D选项(beyond)：超过，超越。
20．D Erin在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还作者的钱包，作者对此非常感激。D选项(grateful)正确：感激的。

Spreading Smiles at Birchwood
When Ava McCarver was in kindergarten, her class visited a nursing home.Ava learned that many of the residents(住户) there received few visitors.__1__“I asked my mom if I could visit them，” she said.Soon, Ava and her mom become volunteers at Birchwood Health Care Center.
That was six years ago.__2__She enjoyed hanging out with Mary, Shirley and other residents during her twice-monthly visits.“ I paint their nails, and I talk to a lot of them，” she said.Sometimes she helped lead craft (手工艺) projects.Other times they played card games.“ It's good for the residents to see little kids，” Ava said.“ That makes them really happy.”
__3__She raised money for the nursing home by making refrigerator decorations and selling them at a craft fair.She also collected used puzzles from garage sales and donated them to Birchwood.
Ava wrote a book called The Squirrel Family.In the book, two squirrels raise a family and eventually move into a place called Birchwood where they live happily.__4__Ten stores in her city agreed to display the books, along with a can to collect money.Ava's project raised about 750 dollars.Birchwood used that money to buy furniture for the residents.
Ava said she enjoyed the look of “pure joy” on a resident's face after a hug from her.That's why she started visiting Birchwood to bring happiness to others.__5__“ It's really fun，” she said.“ They have good stories, and I enjoy my time there.”
A．She decided to take action.
B．But she gained happiness for herself, too.
C．Since then，Ava has made many friends at Birchwood.
D．Ava used her book to raise money for the nursing home.
E．Birchwood needs more money to support their residents.
F．Ava found some creative ways to help her friends at Birchwood.
G．Ava's book achieved a great success and earned a large amount of money for her.
答案与解析
本文为故事类。文中讲述了Ava因为在幼儿园参观了伯奇伍德养老院后萌发了去那儿看望老人的想法，并且一直坚持去那儿，与那儿的人们交朋友，为他们筹集资金，帮助他们。她这样不仅给养老院的人们带来快乐，也给自己带来幸福。
1．A 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本空后的内容“Ava问妈妈能不能去拜访伯奇伍德养老院的老人们。不久，Ava和她的妈妈成为了伯奇伍德保健中心的志愿者。”由此可知那时她就决定行动。分析选项可知A项(她决定采取行动)符合题意，故选A项。
2．C 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据第二段的内容可知，从六年前，Ava去养老院内看望人们，与他们玩纸牌等，可知，这都像是朋友一起做的事。分析选项可知，C项(从那时起，Ava就在伯奇伍德交了很多朋友)符合题意，故选C项。
3．F 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后的内容，Ava用了许多的方法来帮助他们，如通过制作冰箱装饰品并在工艺品展览会上出售来为朋友们筹集资金，为他们搜集拼图等，由此可知Ava找到了许多方法来帮助朋友。分析选项可知F项(Ava找到了一些创造性的方式来帮助她在Birchwood的朋友们。)符合题意，故选F项。
4．D 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心词就是Ava的书。主要叙述Ava写了一本书，通过销售她的书的同时为养老院募捐。分析选项可知D项(Ava用她的书为养老院募捐)符合题意，并且本选项与本段中有许多词的复现，如book等，且意义复现有多处。故选D项。
5．B 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文“这就是为什么她开始拜访伯奇伍德，因为这给别人带来快乐”，及下文说这种做法也让她自己很快乐。由此可知，拜访伯奇伍德不仅给他人快乐，也给她自己带来快乐。分析选项可知B项(但她也为自己赢得了快乐)符合题意。故选B项
