Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Every
day
can
be
a
fresh,
new
beginning—this
is
very
important
if
you
had
a
difficult
day
before.By
starting
with
a
positive
attitude,
you
can
face
the
challenges
of
the
day
in
a
good
state
of
mind.
1
Exercise.Exercising
is
one
of
the
best
methods
to
start
your
day
for
your
mind
as
well
as
the
body.
2
In
addition,
it
also
reduces
stress
and
improves
your
metabolism
(新陈代谢)．So
go
for
a
walk,
go
for
a
bike
ride,
or
go
to
the
gym
in
the
morning.
Organize
yourself.
3
Make
a
to?do
list
and
make
an
effort
to
follow
it.It
will
keep
you
organized
and
make
your
day
easier.However,
make
sure
that
your
to?do
list
is
manageable.There
are
only
so
many
things
you
can
do
in
a
day.
Smile.Starting
your
day
by
acting
the
way
you
want
to
feel
can
help
you
be
more
positive.
4
The
easiest
thing
to
do
is
smile.Just
smile
because
you
are
alive
and
you
can.Watch
or
listen
to
something
humorous
so
you
can
laugh.It
makes
you
feel
positive
and
really
good
about
yourself
and
the
world
that
surrounds
you.
Keep
important
items
in
the
same
place.To
make
mornings
less
busy,
start
a
habit—keeping
your
important
items
in
one
easily
accessible
place.
5
This
way,
you
are
never
looking
for
that
lost
item
when
you
are
running
behind.
A．Write
down
the
tasks
for
the
day.
B．Try
other
actions
to
get
yourself
to
feel
happier.
C．Try
some
of
the
following
tips
to
start
your
day
right.
D．Put
your
keys,
wallet,
purse,
and
other
important
items
there.
E．Instead
of
rushing
through
the
morning,
go
slow
and
take
your
time.
F．It
increases
brain
function,
which
can
help
you
get
a
jump?start
on
the
day.
G．If
you
feel
annoyed
or
tired,
do
something
physical
to
make
yourself
feel
happy.
【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。如何开始新的一天呢？本文提出了一些实用的建议。
1．C [由下文给出的一些开始新的一天的建议可判断选C项。]
2．F [由后一句可推断此处说明运动的作用，故选F项。]
3．A [由后一句“Make
a
to?do
list
and
make
an
effort
to
follow
it.”可知，该空建议写下任务。]
4．G [G项中的“make
yourself
feel

Ⅱ.完形填空
Several
years
ago，my
friend
Arlene
and
her
husband
were
invited
to
spend
the
weekend
at
the
husband's
employer's
home.Arlene
was
nervous
about
the
1
，because
the
boss
was
very
2
，
with
a
fine
home
and
cars
costing
more
than
her
house.
Everything
went
well
and
Arlene
was
delighted
to
have
this
rare
chance
to
see
how
rich
people
3
.The
boss
was
quite
generous
as
a(n)
host
and
took
them
to
the
finest
restaurant
for
dinner.
4
the
three
of
them
were
about
to
enter
the
restaurant，the
boss
walked
slightly
ahead.
5
he
stopped
and
looked
down
at
the
road
for
a
long，silent
moment.Arlene
wondered
if
she
was
supposed
to
6
him.Then
with
curiosity，Arlene
looked
down
at
the
road
too.There
was
nothing
on
the
7
except
a
single
darkened
8
.The
boss
reached
down
and
picked
up
the
penny.He
smiled，and
then
put
it
in
his
9
as
if
he
had
found
a
great
treasure.Why
would
a
man
like
this
even
take
the
time
to
10
and
pick
up
a
single
penny?
What
11
did
this
man
have
for
a
single
penny?
When
they
were
in
the
restaurant
she
could
12
it
no
longer.She
casually
mentioned
that
her
daughter
had
once
had
a
coin
collection，and
asked
if
the
penny
he
had
found
was
of
some
13
.A
smile
crossed
the
man's
face
as
he
took
the
penny
out
of
his
pocket.“Look
at
it，”
he
said，“In
God
We
Trust.”
“In
America，for
those
who
trust
in
God，the
name
of
God
is
holy，
14
on
a
coin.Whenever
I
find
a
coin
I
see
those
words.They
can
be
found
on
every
single
American
coin，but
people
never
seem
to
15
them!
For
a
short
time，at
least，I
cherish(珍惜)each
one
as
if
it
were
gold.”

The
origins
of
the
Christmas
traditions
are
the
most
fascinating
of
any
holiday.All
our
favorite
activities
can
be
traced
(追溯)
back
to
specific
points
in
history,
and
knowing
how
these
things
came
about
just
makes
celebrating
Christmas
much
more
wonderful.
The
original
Nicholas
was
born
in
280
AD
in
the
small
country
of
Lycia,
which
is
now
part
of
modern
Turkey.Nicholas
became
first
a
priest
(牧师)
and
then
a
bishop
(主教)
in
the
early
Christian
church.The
first
paintings
of
him
show
Nicholas
wearing
the
clothes
of
a
Christian
bishop—red
decorated
with
white.When
we
see
Santa's
suit
today,
we're
still
seeing
the
two
kinds
of
colors.
Nicholas
became
famous
for
gift?giving.In
the
early
fourth
century,
a
legend
began
to
spread
about
Nicholas
coming
at
night
to
the
home
of
three
poor
girls
who
did
not
have
money
and
therefore
could
not
get
married.While
the
girls
slept,
Nicholas
left
gold
coins
in
their
stockings,
which
were
drying
by
the
fire.That's
how
the
tradition
of
Santa
filling
stockings
got
its
start.
In
1841,
Santa
first
appeared
at
a
department
store
in
Philadelphia.This
Santa
tried
to
climb
down
a
chimney
to
impress
the
children
who
were
watching,
but
he
got
stuck
halfway
down.In
1890,
department
store
Santas
began
appearing
all
over
America,
especially
on
the
East
Coast
around
Boston.Parents
in
other
countries
joined
together
and
hired
passenger
trains
to
take
their
families
to
see
these
Santas.
At
the
same
time,
Ralph
E．Morris
of
the
New
England
Telephone
Company
suggested
that
strings
of
lights
be
hung
on
Christmas
trees.After
all,
lights
would
be
much
safer
than
candles.Our
modern?day
image
of
Santa
as
a
fat
man
is
based
on
ads
of
the
Coca?Cola
company
in
the
1930s.Artist
Hans
Sundblom
used
a
retired
salesman
named
Les
Prentice
as
his
model.

B [推理判断题。由第一段可知，我们喜欢的任何圣诞节传统都可以追溯到历史上特定的由来，并且知道这些活动是如何产生的。由此可推知，这些传统都是建立在事实之上的。]
2．What
do
we
know
about
Nicholas?
A．He
set
up
the
first
Christian
church.
B．He
was
called
Santa
Claus
when
he
was
born.
C．His
clothes
are
similar
to
Santa's
suit
in
color.
D．His
image
is
the
same
as
the
modern?day
Santa.
C [推理判断题。由第二段“The
first
paintings
of
him
show
Nicholas
wearing
the
clothes
of
a
Christian
bishop—red
decorated
with
white.When
we
see
Santa's
suit
today,
we're
still
seeing
the
two
kinds
of
colors.”可知，尼古拉斯第一批画像中穿着基督教主教的衣服——红色镶有白色的衣服。在如今圣诞老人的装扮中，我们看到的仍然是这两种颜色。]
3．Three
poor
girls
are
mentioned
to
.
A．prove
that
Nicholas
used
to
be
a
rich
man
B．tell
of
the
origin
of
Santa
filling
stockings
C．show
Christmas
was
set
up
mainly
for
the
poor
D．describe
a
famous
story
in
the
early
fourth
century
B [细节理解题。由第三段“That's
how
the
tradition
of
Santa
filling
stockings
got
its
start.”可知，提到三个穷苦女孩是为了讲述圣诞老人把礼物放进袜子这一传统的由来。]
4．What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
two
paragraphs?
A．Santa
didn't
become
popular
until
the
year
1890.
B．Candles
have
never
been
used
on
Christmas
trees.

Coca?Cola
company
designed
the
image
of
Santa.
D．Santa
began
giving
gifts
by
climbing
down
chimneys
in
1841.
A [推理判断题。由倒数第二段可知，1890年，圣诞老人百货商场盛行于美国，尤其是在波士顿的东海岸。世界各地的家长一起带着家人，坐着租来的旅客列车观赏这些圣诞老人。由此可知，圣诞老人于1890年开始流行。]
B
Valentine's
Day
Valentine's
Day
is
named
for
Saint
Valentine，an
early
Christian
churchman(牧师)
who
reportedly
helped
young
lovers.Valentine
was
killed
for
his
Christian
beliefs
on
February
14
more
than
1,700
years
ago，but
the
day
got
its
name
even
earlier
than
that.
More
than
2,000
years
ago，the
ancient
Romans
celebrated
a
holiday
for
lovers.As
part
of
the
celebration，girls
wrote
their
names
on
pieces
of
paper
and
put
them
in
a
large
container.Boys
reached
into
the
container
and
pulled
one
out.The
girl
whose
name
was
written
on
the
paper
became
his
lover
or
sweetheart
for
a
year.
Lovers
still
put
their
names
on
pieces
of
paper
and
they
send
each
other
Valentine's
Day
cards
that
tell
of
their
love.Sometimes
they
also
send
gifts，like
flowers
or
chocolate
candy.Americans
usually
send
these
gifts
and
cards
through
the
mail
system.But
some
use
another
way
to
send
this
message.They
have
it
printed
in
a
newspaper.The
cost
is
usually
a
few
dollars.Some
of
the
messages
are
simple
and
short，“Jane，I
love
you
very
much.”Others
say
more.This
one，for
example，“Don，roses
are
red.Violets(紫罗兰)are
purple.I
hope
you
love
me
as
much
as
I
love
you.Forever，Mary.”
Most
of
the
newspapers
that
print
such
messages
are
local，but
USA
Today
is
sold
throughout
the
United
States
and
90
other
countries
as
well.This
means
someone
can
send
a
Valentine
message
to
a
lover
in
a
faraway
city
or
town
almost
anywhere
in
the
world.These
messages
cost
80
dollars
and
more.An
employee(职员)of
USA
Today
says
readers
can
have
a
small
heart
or
rose
printed
along
with
their
messages
this
year.Will
this
kind
of
Valentine's
Day
message
reach
the
one
you
love?
Well，just
make
sure
he
or
she
reads
the
newspaper.
5．What
is
the
cost
of
printing
a
message
to
show
one's
love？It's
.
A．a
few
dollars
B．a
few
dollars
in
a
local
newspaper
and
80
dollars
in
USA
Today
C．80
dollars
and
more
D．very
expensive
B [由第三段中的“They
have
it
printed
in
a
newspaper.The
cost
is
usually
a
few
dollars.”和第四段中的“These
messages
cost
80
dollars
and
more.”这两处信息可知B项正确。]
6．What
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage?
A．The
ancient
Roman
girls
were
more
open
and
easy?going
than
boys.
B．Valentine
was
killed
for
helping
lovers.
C．Readers
of
USA
Today
can
send
roses
to
their
lovers
along
with
printed
messages.
D．Valentine
was
honoured
by
people
for
his
firm
Christian
beliefs
and
warm
heart.
D [A项在原文中没有提及；根据第一段中“Valentine
was
killed
for
his
Christian
beliefs...”可知B项错误；C项在文中有信息说明；只有D项的内容是根据全文概括和推断出来的。]
7．What
is
the
purpose
of
the
passage?
A．To
briefly
introduce
the
origin
of
Valentine's
Day
and
the
modern
style.

Ⅱ.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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Twenty
years
ago，I
drove
a
taxi
for
a
living.One
night
I
went
to
pick
up
a
passenger
at
2：30
a．m..When
I
arrived，I
found
the
building
was
dark
except
for
a
single
light
in
a
ground
floor
window.
I
walked
to
the
door
and
knocked，“Just
a
minute，”
answered
a
weak，elderly
voice.
After
a
long
time，the
door
opened.A
small
woman
in
her
eighties
stood
before
me.By
her
side
was
a
small
suitcase.
I
took
the
suitcase
to
the
car，and
then
returned
to
help
the
woman.She
took
my
arm
and
we
walked
slowly
towards
the
car.
She
kept
thanking
me
for
my
kindness.“It's
nothing，”
I
told
her.“I
just
try
to
treat
my
passengers
the
way
I
would
want
my
mother
treated.”
“Oh，you're
such
a
good
man.”
She
said.When
we
got
into
the
taxi，she
gave
me
an
address，and
then
asked，“Could
you
drive
through
downtown？”
“It's
not
the
shortest
way，”
I
answered
quickly.
“Oh，I'm
in
no
hurry，”
she
said.“I'm
on
my
way
to
a
hospice(临终医院)．I
don't
have
any
family
left.The
doctor
says
I
don't
have
much
time.”
I
quietly
reached
over
and
shut
off
the
meter(计价器)．For
the
next
two
hours，we
drove
through
the
city.She
showed
me
the
building
where
she
had
once
worked，the
neighborhood
where
she
had
lived，and
the
furniture
shop
that
had
once
been
a
ballroom
where
she
had
gone
dancing
as
a
girl.
Sometimes
she'd
ask
me
to
slow
down
in
front
of
a
particular
building
and
would
sit
staring
into
the
darkness，saying
nothing.
At
dawn，she
suddenly
said，“I'm
tired.Let's
go
now.”
We
drove
in
silence
to
the
address
she
had
given.
“How
much
do
I
owe
you？”
she
asked.
“Nothing，”
I
said.
“You
have
to
make
a
living，”
she
answered.“Oh，there
are
other
passengers，”
I
answered.She
thanked
me，but
she
looked
so
sad.
Paragraph
1：
Almost
without
thinking，I
bent
and
gave
her
a
hug.
Paragraph
2：
The
next
day，I
was
on
my
way
to
visit
her.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
Almost
without
thinking，I
bent
and
gave
her
a
hug.She
held
onto
me
tightly.Before
the
woman
left
for
the
hospice，I
said
to
her，“My
mother
treated
everyone
kindly
and
she
is
a
person
of
great
kindness，but
she
passed
away
years
ago.You
are
like
my
mother.”
The
woman
said，“
Thank
you.If
you
want
to
visit
me，I'll
tell
you
my
story.”
Then
the
weak
woman
left，after
which
I
drove
the
taxi
to
go
home.
Paragraph
2：
The
next
day，I
was
on
my
way
to
visit
her.She
told
me
she
was
the
owner
of
a
particular
building
I
saw
last
night.But
she
had
no
time
to
care
about
her
family.Her
only
son
died
one
year
ago
because
of
cancer.She
sold
everything
to
save
him，but
failed.How
sad！At
last，the
old
woman
said
to
me，“Life
is
short，but
please
be
in
no
hurry.Always
remember
that
family
is
the
most
important
thing
to
you.”After
a
long
silence
in
the
darkness，I
nodded
hard.
