Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, 揂mericans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies. The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, 揝ee, if you admit you can't do this on your own, they'll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can't do everything by ourselves and we shouldn't try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he 搉ever found anybody who didn't want to help me when I asked them for help. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co璮ounder of Hewlett璓ackard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter (计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far，” Jobs said.
24．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．What key American values are. B．Asking for help is a sign of strength.
C．Why Americans refuse to ask for help. D．Americans are responsible for their life.
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?
A．Impolite. B．Impatient.
C．Impossible. D．Incompetent.
26．What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?
A．Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust. B．Americans lay emphasis on individual values.
C．Americans should learn to build up confidence. D．Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.
27．What can we learn from Jobs' words in the last paragraph?
A．Don't hesitate to ask for assistance. B．Be brave to try whatever you want.
C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Learn to cooperate with others.
C
Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.
My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.
This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.
The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here！” rang through the warm kitchen. Dad's active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia(痴呆). This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.
In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion. His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.
I'm not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire. I know that that moment will certainly last forever. This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure.
28．The method the writer uses to develop the second paragraph is ________.
A．offering analyses B．providing details
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
29．The author's father's active participation in the game surprised the author because ________.
A．it was the first time he had taken part in such a game
B．he was able to recognize his family members clearly
C．he could have a rest and relax by playing the ball game
D．he could recognize the ball and react accordingly, despite his illness
30．What can we learn about the author's father from the text?
A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.
B．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.
C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.
D．He worked hard and liked to share his feelings with his family.
31．What would be the best title for this text?
A．A Son's Love B．A Father's Smiles
C．The Happiness of a Sick Father D．Unforgettable Memories at Christmas
D
As children we are well?trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A's, the honour roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the 搑ight answer.
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate. She is struggling with what she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do 搒ome big things， like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer but her answer. The grown璾p definition of the 搑ight answer is different from that in school. What would you do if you weren't afraid? It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers. It helps to come back to：
What do I want to be known for? What is my definition of success? What am I best at?
If I had no fears, what would I do?
What is one step I can take today to move me towards my goal (even if it's not perfectly clear)?
I find these types of questions are more helpful in getting to our unique answer rather than “right answer” questions, such as: What will my parents want? What degree or job will mark me as accomplished to the world? What is my best option based on where I work today?
32．What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph?
A．Life is harder for adults than children. B．Academic excellence is not necessary.
C．It is not helpful to follow the rules in school. D．Rules in life are different from those in school.
33．What is wrong with the college student?
A．She does badly in her studies. B．Her parents are not proud of her.
C．She feels puzzled about her life career. D．She is not sure whether to do “some big things”．
34．When looking for the answer in life, you need to ________.
A．trust your parents B．listen to your heart
C．follow valued advice D．learn from your classmates
35．Which of the following questions might not help you to seek your answer?
A．What do I love to do? B．What matters most to me in life?
C．What will make me look successful? D．What will I regret not doing when I'm 80?

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
She was dancing. My crippled (跛的) grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway absolutely shocked.
I heard her sing when I opened the door but did not want to interrupt the beautiful song by yelling I had arrived, so I just slid into the living room. I looked at how her still?lean body bent beautifully, her arms greeting the sunlight that was pouring through the window. And her legs... Those legs that had stiffly walked, aided with a cane (拐杖), insensible shoes as long as I could remember. Now she was wearing beautiful dancing shoes and her legs obeyed her perfectly. No limping(蹒跚). No stiffness. She was the star of the dancing world. And then she'd had her accident and it was all over. I had read that in an old newspaper.
She turned around and saw me standing in the doorway. Her song ended, and her beautiful movements with it, so abruptly that it felt like being shaken awake from a beautiful dream. The sudden silence rang in my ears. Grandma looked like a kid caught with her hand in a cookie jar that I couldn't help myself, and a slightly nervous laughter escaped. Grandma sighed and turned towards the kitchen. I followed her, not believing my eyes. She was walking with no difficulties in her beautiful shoes. We sat down by the table and cut ourselves big pieces of her delicious peach pie.
“So...” I asked, “how did your leg heal (治愈)？”
“To tell you the truth—my legs have been well all my life，” she said.
“But I don't understand！” I said. “Your dancing career...I mean... You pretended all these years？”
“Very much so，” Grandmother closed her eyes.“And for a very good reason.”
“What reason？”
“Your grandfather.”
“You mean he told you not to dance？”
“No, this was my choice. I am sure I would have lost him if I had continued dancing. I weighed fame and love against each other and love won.”

第二部分
第一节
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇广告布告类阅读，主要介绍了亚洲一些国家不容错过的节日。
21．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据Singapore Night Festival部分中的Aug. 17－25可知该节日的庆祝活动持续九天，故选B项。
22．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。文章所介绍的四个节日中，只有Tet Trung Nguyen未提及艺术和文化相关内容，所以如果你只对艺术和文化感兴趣，你可能会错过Tet Trung Nguyen节日，故选B项。
23．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。每一个节日介绍的最后都给出了一个网址，由此推断出可以从网站上找到这些节日的更多信息，故选D项。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。很多人担心求助别人会让别人笑话自己没有能力。因此不愿向他人求助，这导致他们忽视了求助可能带来意想不到的效果。
24．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。第一段第一句指出本文的主旨大意，但是接着话锋一转，提到在美国，由于受到传统文化的影响，人们一向都不愿意求助于人。这种价值观也使他们认为自己可以做任何事，在需要帮助时寻求帮助让他们感觉很糟糕。由此可知，本段主要解释了“美国人为什么一般不愿求助于人”的问题，故选C项。
25．答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.”可知，美国人认为他们什么都会做。再结合第二段中的“if you admit you can't do this on your own，...”如果你承认自己不能做，……可知，文中多次出现了“can”和“can't”。由此可知“when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept.”的意思是当他们求助时，他们有时害怕寻求帮助会使他们显得自己“不能做”，即“无能力的”。因此句中的“inept”为“无能力的”。impolite“不礼貌的”；impatient“不耐心的”；impossible“不可能的”；incompetent“无能力的；不称职的”。故选D项。
26．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, ‘Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.’”和第二段可知，美国人的这种有事不求人的现象，反映了美国人对个人价值观的崇尚。故选B项。
27．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Jobs的话“If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far，”再结合上一段的内容about the power of asking for help, and how he“never found anybody who didn't want to help me when I asked them for help”可知，当他向他人求助时，人们都愿意提供帮助。Jobs以自己为例来说明向他人求助会得到帮助，对自己是有利的。从而推断出，有困难时可以向他人求助，不要犹豫，要敢于求助。故选A项。
C
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了作者的父亲患了痴呆，认不清大家的面孔，也记不清楚地点和时间。但是，在一个圣诞夜，爸爸居然跟孩子们一起玩起了游戏。这是作者记忆中最难忘也最美好的圣诞节。
28．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中描述了小侄子玩球，看到父亲时的困惑；父亲看到球又是如何反应的，都是细节描写，所以B项正确。
29．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，在患了痴呆之后，父亲能够反应敏捷，并跟我们玩游戏，这才是最令我记忆深刻并为之触动的，所以D项正确；A、C项文中没有提到；根据第四段中This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people可知B项错误。
30．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This disease had robbed him of many memories.”可知A项正确；根据第五段中“In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare.”可知B项错误；根据第五段中“His favorite game was chess”可知，父亲教“我”下棋，但没有提到教“我”打篮球或者玩传球游戏，所以C项错误；根据第五段中“never showed nor shared much emotion”可知D项错误。
31．答案与解析：D 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是圣诞夜发生的关于父亲的难忘的事，所以D项最为恰当。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议类文章。作者通过一名大学生对职业选择感到迷茫这件事情，告诉我们作选择时要倾听自己内心真实的声音。
32．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the “right”answer.”可知，作者想告诉我们生活中的规则和学校里的不一样。故选D。
33．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She is struggling with what she wants for her career.”和“Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.”可知，这个大学生对于她的职业选择很迷茫。故选C项。
34．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers.”可知，当在生活中寻找答案时，你需要倾听你自己的心声。故选B项。
35．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，C项是能得出标准答案(right answer)而非适合自己的答案的问题，而A、B、D选项都是发自内心的问题。故选C项。

Paragraph 1：
She thought for a while and then continued.“We were very much in love when your grandfather had to go to war. After he left, I put all my energy into dancing. He would write to me and always ended his letters with‘I love you with my life.’ And then one day a letter came with only three sentences, ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man. Forget about me.’”
Paragraph 2：
By now I had forgotten about the pie and listened to Grandma attentively.“What happened then？” “I told everyone I was caught in a car accident and made sure the newspaper reported it. I had learnt to limp convincingly with a cane before I found your grandfather in the hospital. I told him he was not the only one whose leg would never heal again. ‘So if you think I'm going to let you feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life, think again！’As he struggled out of the wheelchair, I took out the rings I bought the day he left for the war...”

Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, 揂mericans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies. The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, 揝ee, if you admit you can't do this on your own, they'll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can't do everything by ourselves and we shouldn't try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he 搉ever found anybody who didn't want to help me when I asked them for help. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co璮ounder of Hewlett璓ackard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter (计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far，” Jobs said.
24．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．What key American values are. B．Asking for help is a sign of strength.
C．Why Americans refuse to ask for help. D．Americans are responsible for their life.
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?
A．Impolite. B．Impatient.
C．Impossible. D．Incompetent.
26．What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?
A．Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust. B．Americans lay emphasis on individual values.
C．Americans should learn to build up confidence. D．Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.
27．What can we learn from Jobs' words in the last paragraph?
A．Don't hesitate to ask for assistance. B．Be brave to try whatever you want.
C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Learn to cooperate with others.
C
Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.
My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.
This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.
The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here！” rang through the warm kitchen. Dad's active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia(痴呆). This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.
In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion. His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.
I'm not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire. I know that that moment will certainly last forever. This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure.
28．The method the writer uses to develop the second paragraph is ________.
A．offering analyses B．providing details
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
29．The author's father's active participation in the game surprised the author because ________.
A．it was the first time he had taken part in such a game
B．he was able to recognize his family members clearly
C．he could have a rest and relax by playing the ball game
D．he could recognize the ball and react accordingly, despite his illness
30．What can we learn about the author's father from the text?
A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.
B．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.
C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.
D．He worked hard and liked to share his feelings with his family.
31．What would be the best title for this text?
A．A Son's Love B．A Father's Smiles
C．The Happiness of a Sick Father D．Unforgettable Memories at Christmas
D
As children we are well?trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A's, the honour roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the 搑ight answer.
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate. She is struggling with what she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do 搒ome big things， like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer but her answer. The grown璾p definition of the 搑ight answer is different from that in school. What would you do if you weren't afraid? It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers. It helps to come back to：
What do I want to be known for? What is my definition of success? What am I best at?
If I had no fears, what would I do?
What is one step I can take today to move me towards my goal (even if it's not perfectly clear)?
I find these types of questions are more helpful in getting to our unique answer rather than “right answer” questions, such as: What will my parents want? What degree or job will mark me as accomplished to the world? What is my best option based on where I work today?
32．What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph?
A．Life is harder for adults than children. B．Academic excellence is not necessary.
C．It is not helpful to follow the rules in school. D．Rules in life are different from those in school.
33．What is wrong with the college student?
A．She does badly in her studies. B．Her parents are not proud of her.
C．She feels puzzled about her life career. D．She is not sure whether to do “some big things”．
34．When looking for the answer in life, you need to ________.
A．trust your parents B．listen to your heart
C．follow valued advice D．learn from your classmates
35．Which of the following questions might not help you to seek your answer?
A．What do I love to do? B．What matters most to me in life?
C．What will make me look successful? D．What will I regret not doing when I'm 80?

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
She was dancing. My crippled (跛的) grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway absolutely shocked.
I heard her sing when I opened the door but did not want to interrupt the beautiful song by yelling I had arrived, so I just slid into the living room. I looked at how her still?lean body bent beautifully, her arms greeting the sunlight that was pouring through the window. And her legs... Those legs that had stiffly walked, aided with a cane (拐杖), insensible shoes as long as I could remember. Now she was wearing beautiful dancing shoes and her legs obeyed her perfectly. No limping(蹒跚). No stiffness. She was the star of the dancing world. And then she'd had her accident and it was all over. I had read that in an old newspaper.
She turned around and saw me standing in the doorway. Her song ended, and her beautiful movements with it, so abruptly that it felt like being shaken awake from a beautiful dream. The sudden silence rang in my ears. Grandma looked like a kid caught with her hand in a cookie jar that I couldn't help myself, and a slightly nervous laughter escaped. Grandma sighed and turned towards the kitchen. I followed her, not believing my eyes. She was walking with no difficulties in her beautiful shoes. We sat down by the table and cut ourselves big pieces of her delicious peach pie.
“So...” I asked, “how did your leg heal (治愈)？”
“To tell you the truth—my legs have been well all my life，” she said.
“But I don't understand！” I said. “Your dancing career...I mean... You pretended all these years？”
“Very much so，” Grandmother closed her eyes.“And for a very good reason.”
“What reason？”
“Your grandfather.”
“You mean he told you not to dance？”
“No, this was my choice. I am sure I would have lost him if I had continued dancing. I weighed fame and love against each other and love won.”

第二部分
第一节
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇广告布告类阅读，主要介绍了亚洲一些国家不容错过的节日。
21．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据Singapore Night Festival部分中的Aug. 17－25可知该节日的庆祝活动持续九天，故选B项。
22．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。文章所介绍的四个节日中，只有Tet Trung Nguyen未提及艺术和文化相关内容，所以如果你只对艺术和文化感兴趣，你可能会错过Tet Trung Nguyen节日，故选B项。
23．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。每一个节日介绍的最后都给出了一个网址，由此推断出可以从网站上找到这些节日的更多信息，故选D项。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。很多人担心求助别人会让别人笑话自己没有能力。因此不愿向他人求助，这导致他们忽视了求助可能带来意想不到的效果。
24．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。第一段第一句指出本文的主旨大意，但是接着话锋一转，提到在美国，由于受到传统文化的影响，人们一向都不愿意求助于人。这种价值观也使他们认为自己可以做任何事，在需要帮助时寻求帮助让他们感觉很糟糕。由此可知，本段主要解释了“美国人为什么一般不愿求助于人”的问题，故选C项。
25．答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.”可知，美国人认为他们什么都会做。再结合第二段中的“if you admit you can't do this on your own，...”如果你承认自己不能做，……可知，文中多次出现了“can”和“can't”。由此可知“when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept.”的意思是当他们求助时，他们有时害怕寻求帮助会使他们显得自己“不能做”，即“无能力的”。因此句中的“inept”为“无能力的”。impolite“不礼貌的”；impatient“不耐心的”；impossible“不可能的”；incompetent“无能力的；不称职的”。故选D项。
26．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, ‘Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.’”和第二段可知，美国人的这种有事不求人的现象，反映了美国人对个人价值观的崇尚。故选B项。
27．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Jobs的话“If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far，”再结合上一段的内容about the power of asking for help, and how he“never found anybody who didn't want to help me when I asked them for help”可知，当他向他人求助时，人们都愿意提供帮助。Jobs以自己为例来说明向他人求助会得到帮助，对自己是有利的。从而推断出，有困难时可以向他人求助，不要犹豫，要敢于求助。故选A项。
C
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了作者的父亲患了痴呆，认不清大家的面孔，也记不清楚地点和时间。但是，在一个圣诞夜，爸爸居然跟孩子们一起玩起了游戏。这是作者记忆中最难忘也最美好的圣诞节。
28．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中描述了小侄子玩球，看到父亲时的困惑；父亲看到球又是如何反应的，都是细节描写，所以B项正确。
29．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，在患了痴呆之后，父亲能够反应敏捷，并跟我们玩游戏，这才是最令我记忆深刻并为之触动的，所以D项正确；A、C项文中没有提到；根据第四段中This disease had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people可知B项错误。
30．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This disease had robbed him of many memories.”可知A项正确；根据第五段中“In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare.”可知B项错误；根据第五段中“His favorite game was chess”可知，父亲教“我”下棋，但没有提到教“我”打篮球或者玩传球游戏，所以C项错误；根据第五段中“never showed nor shared much emotion”可知D项错误。
31．答案与解析：D 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是圣诞夜发生的关于父亲的难忘的事，所以D项最为恰当。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议类文章。作者通过一名大学生对职业选择感到迷茫这件事情，告诉我们作选择时要倾听自己内心真实的声音。
32．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the “right”answer.”可知，作者想告诉我们生活中的规则和学校里的不一样。故选D。
33．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She is struggling with what she wants for her career.”和“Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.”可知，这个大学生对于她的职业选择很迷茫。故选C项。
34．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers.”可知，当在生活中寻找答案时，你需要倾听你自己的心声。故选B项。
35．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，C项是能得出标准答案(right answer)而非适合自己的答案的问题，而A、B、D选项都是发自内心的问题。故选C项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文介绍的是中国的传统节日——重阳节。文中介绍了重阳节的时间、历史起源及人们庆祝重阳节的方式。
36．答案与解析：F 文章介绍了重阳节的一些习俗，F项符合文意，故选F项。
37．答案与解析：D 根据空前The ninth lunar month，with clear autumn sky and bracing air，is a good time for sightseeing.可知，农历九月，秋高气爽，是观光的好时节。抓住关键词sightseeing，D项也提到了sightseeing，所以人们喜欢在这个月去观光，故选D项。
38．答案与解析：C 根据空前Climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.可知，重阳节登山在唐代就已经流行了。后边要说到流行的证据也就是很多诗都是关于这一习俗的，故选C项。
39．答案与解析：E 根据空前In ancient times，people usually picked fresh chrysanthemums and leaves on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and brewed the mixture of them and grain into the wine.可知，在古代，人们通常在农历九月初九采摘新鲜的菊花及其叶子，然后把它们和谷物混合酿进酒里。此处介绍了菊花酒的酿造，E选项提到要到来年的这一天，人们才拿出来喝，符合语境。故选E项。
40．答案与解析：A 根据空后对重阳糕的介绍，可知这一部分主要介绍了重阳糕这一食物，故选A项。
第三部分

【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要描述了著名作家约翰·欧文让学生欣赏自己的作品时，也注重与他们之间的交流，这些特点给作者留下了深刻的印象。
56．答案与解析：the 考查固定搭配。at the front of是固定搭配，意为“在……前部”。

Paragraph 1：
She thought for a while and then continued.“We were very much in love when your grandfather had to go to war. After he left, I put all my energy into dancing. He would write to me and always ended his letters with‘I love you with my life.’ And then one day a letter came with only three sentences, ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man. Forget about me.’”
Paragraph 2：
By now I had forgotten about the pie and listened to Grandma attentively.“What happened then？” “I told everyone I was caught in a car accident and made sure the newspaper reported it. I had learnt to limp convincingly with a cane before I found your grandfather in the hospital. I told him he was not the only one whose leg would never heal again. ‘So if you think I'm going to let you feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life, think again！’As he struggled out of the wheelchair, I took out the rings I bought the day he left for the war...”
