A
Organic
food
(有机食品)is
very
popular.It
is
also
expensive.Some
organic
food
costs
twice
as
much
as
non?organic
food.Some
parents
and
pet
owners
pay
up
to
200
percent
more
for
organic
food
while
some
people
think
organic
food
is
a
waste
of
money.
There
is
one
main
difference
between
organic
and
non?organic
food.
Organic
farms
do
not
use
agricultural
chemicals,
such
as
pesticides
(杀虫剂).
This
makes
sure
that
the
products
are
natural.
Some
people
think
“organic”
means
“locally
grown”.
At
the
beginning,
this
was
true.
Over
time
organic
farming
became
more
difficult.
The
demand
for
organic
food
grew
larger
than
the
supply.
Small
companies
had
to
sell
out
to
large
companies.
There
weren't
enough
organic
materials.
This
made
it
difficult
for
many
organic
companies
to
stay
in
business.
Today,
many
large
companies
have
an
organic
line
of
products.
Is
organic
food
more
nutritious
(有营养的)?
This
is
part
of
the
debate.
Many
farmers
and
consumers
(消费者)
believe
it
is.
They
think
agricultural
chemicals
cause
health
problems,
such
as
cancer.Many
health
experts
disagree.
Few
studies
prove
that
organic
food
prevents
health
problems.
Health
experts
worry
more
about
bacteria
(细菌).
These
can
come
into
contact
with
organic
and
non?organic
food.Doctors
recommend
washing
produce
very
carefully.
Most
people
agree
that
naturally
grown
food
tastes
better.
Is
tastier
food
worth
the
extra
money?
This
is
a
matter
of
opinion.
Whether
it
is
healthier
or
not
may
require
more
research.
However,
organic
consumers
argue
it
is
better
to
be
safe
than
sorry.
本文介绍了有机食品很受欢迎，虽然价格很贵，但是味道好，吃得放心，有机食品消费者认为安全第一。
1．What
is
probably
the
major
concern(关注)
of
organic
food
consumers?
A．Price.
B．Safety.
C．Freshness.
D．Variety.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段However,
organic
consumers
argue
it
is
better
to
be
safe
than
sorry.(然而，有机食品消费者认为安全比后悔好。)可知只要安全，消费者宁愿多花点钱，故选B。
2．What
is
the
doctors'
suggestion?
A．Grow
your
own
food.
B．Reduce
the
use
of
pesticides.
C．Make
sure
the
food
is
clean.
D．Buy
large
companies'
products.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。
根据第四段的最后一句Doctors
recommend
washing
produce
very
carefully.(医生建议清洗时要非常小心。)可知医生建议食品要清洗干净，故选C。
3.Which
of
the
following
do
most
people
agree
on
organic
food?
A．It
tastes
better.
B．It
is
easier
to
grow.
C．It
contains
more
fat.
D．It
is
more
nutritious.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句
Most
people
agree
that
naturally
grown
food
tastes
better.(大多数人都同意自然生长的食物味道更好。)可知有机食品尝起来很好，故选A。
4.Where
does
this
text
probably
come
from?
A．A
health
magazine.
B．A
medical
report.
C．A
chemistry
paper.
D．A
menu
of
a
restaurant.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。本文介绍的是有机食品，价格贵却很受欢迎，安全健康第一，所以跟健康有关，故选A。
B
I'll
admit
I've
never
quite
understood
the
obsession
(难以破除的成见)
surrounding
genetically
modified
(GM)
crops.To
environmentalist
opponents，GM
foods
are
simply
evil，an
understudied，possibly
harmful
tool
used
by
big
agricultural
businesses
to
control
global
seed
markets
and
beat
local
farmers.They
argue
that
GM
foods
have
never
delivered
on
their
supposed
promise，that
money
spent
on
GM
crops
would
be
better
channeled
to
organic
farming
and
that
consumers
should
be
protected
with
warning
labels
on
any
products
that
contain
genetically
modified
ingredients.To
supporters，GM
crops
are
a
key
part
of
the
effort
to
sustainably
provide
food
to
meet
a
growing
global
population.But
more
than
that，supporters
see
the
GM
opposition
of
many
environmentalists
as
fundamentally
anti?science，no
different
than
those
who
question
the
basics
of
man?made
climate
change.
For
both
sides，GM
foods
seem
to
act
as
a
symbol:
you're
pro?agricultural
business
or
anti?science.But
science
is
exactly
what
we
need
more
of
when
it
comes
to
GM
foods，which
is
why
I
was
happy
to
see
Nature
devote
a
special
series
of
articles
to
the
GM
food
controversy.The
conclusion:
while
GM
crops
haven't
yet
realized
their
initial
promise
and
have
been
dominated
by
agricultural
businesses，there
is
reason
to
continue
to
use
and
develop
them
to
help
meet
the
enormous
challenge
of
sustainably
feeding
a
growing
planet.
That
doesn't
mean
GM
crops
are
perfect，or
a
one?size?fits?all
solution
to
global
agriculture
problems.But
anything
that
can
increase
farming
efficiency—the
amount
of
crops
we
can
produce
per
acre
of
land—will
be
extremely
useful.GM
crops
can
and
almost
certainly
will
be
part
of
that
suite
of
tools,
but
so
will
traditional
plant
breeding，improved
soil
and
crop
management—and
perhaps
most
important
of
all，better
storage
and
transport
infrastructure
(基础设施)
especially
in
the
developing
world.(It
doesn't
do
much
good
for
farmers
in
places
like
sub?Saharan
Africa
to
produce
more
food
if
they
can't
get
it
to
hungry
consumers.)
I'd
like
to
see
more
non?industry
research
done
on
GM
crops—not
just
because
we'd
worry
less
about
prejudice，but
also
because
seed
companies
like
Monsanto
and
Pioneer
shouldn't
be
the
only
entities
(实体)
working
to
harness
genetic
modification.I'd
like
to
see
GM
research
on
less
commercial
crops，like
corn.I
don't
think
it's
vital
to
label
GM
ingredients
in
food，but
I
also
wouldn't
be
against
it—and
industry
would
be
smart
to
go
along
with
labeling，just
as
a
way
of
removing
fears
about
the
technology.
Most
of
all，though，I
wish
a
tenth
of
the
energy
that's
spent
endlessly
debating
GM
crops
was
focused
on
those
more
pressing
challenges
for
global
agriculture.There
are
much
bigger
battles
to
fight.
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了关于转基因农作物的讨论。作者认为与其关注转基因农作物，不如花时间来关注一下全球农业面临的更紧迫的挑战。
1.
How
do
environmentalist
opponents
view
GM
foods
according
to
the
passage?
A．They
will
eventually
ruin
agriculture
and
the
environment.
B．They
are
used
by
big
businesses
to
dominate
agriculture.
C．They
have
proved
potentially
harmful
to
consumers'
health.
D．They
pose
a
big
threat
to
current
farming
practice.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。第一段To
environmentalist
opponents，GM
foods
are
simply
evil，an
understudied，possibly
harmful
tool
used
by
big
agricultural
businesses
to
control
global
seed
markets
and
beat
local
farmers.指出奉行环境保护主义的反对者们反对转基因食品是因为转基因食品邪恶、没有经过充分研究并可能成为大型农业公司控制全球种子市场和压榨当地农民的工具。由此可见，B的意思符合文意，即转基因食品是一种被大型农业公司用以垄断的工具，故选B。
2．What
does
the
author
say
is
vital
to
solving
the
controversy
between
the
two
sides
of
the
debate?
A．Breaking
the
GM
food
monopoly
(垄断).
B．More
friendly
exchange
of
ideas.
C．Regulating
GM
food
production.
D．More
scientific
research
on
GM
crops.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。第二段首句就提到了题干中的two
sides，表明对双方而言，转基因食品标志着你是亲农业还是反科学。第二句中But
science
is
exactly
what
we
need
more
of
when
it
comes
to
GM
foods接着指出，当涉及转基因食品时，我们更需要的是科学，故答案为D。
3．What
is
the
author's
view
on
the
solution
to
agricultural
problems?
A．It
has
to
depend
more
and
more
on
GM
technology.
B．It
is
vital
to
the
sustainable
development
of
human
society.
C．GM
crops
should
be
allowed
until
better
alternatives
are
found.
D．Whatever
is
useful
to
improve
farming
efficiency
should
be
encouraged.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。第三段That
doesn't
mean
GM
crops
are
perfect，or
a
one?size?fits?all
solution
to
global
agriculture
problems.But
anything
that
can
increase
farming
efficiency—the
amount
of
crops
we
can
produce
per
acre
of
land—will
be
extremely
useful.指出，转基因农作物并不是解决全球农业问题“一劳永逸”的办法，但是任何提高耕作效率的方法都是极为有用的，故答案为D。
4．What
does
the
author
think
of
the
ongoing
debate
around
GM
crops?
A．It
arises
out
of
ignorance
of
and
prejudice
against
new
science.
B．It
distracts
the
public
attention
from
other
key
issues
of
the
world.
C．Efforts
spent
on
it
should
be
turned
to
more
urgent
issues
of
agriculture.
D．Neither
side
is
likely
to
give
in
until
more
convincing
evidence
is
found.
答案：C
解析：观点态度题。答案定位在末段，作者在定位段中指出，人们应该拿出花在无休止讨论转基因农作物上的时间的十分之一来关注一下全球农业面临的更紧迫的挑战，故答案为C。Unit

本文是一篇人物传记，主要介绍了杂交水稻之父袁隆平的贡献和人生态度。
1．when
解析：考查定语从句。句意：袁隆平生于1930年，并于1953年毕业于西南农业大学，当时饥饿对很多农村人是一个大问题。分析句子结构可知，定语从句的先行词为1953，关系词在从句中作时间状语，故填when。
2．has_been
解析：考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，想办法种植更多的水稻就成了他的人生目标。时间状语Since
then表明此处应用现在完成时，动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数，故填has
been。
3．to_increase
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：他寻找一种在不扩大农业用地的前提下提高水稻产量的办法。a
way
to
do
sth.是惯用搭配，表示“做某事的方法”。故填to
increase。
4．is_considered
解析：考查时态和语态。句意：如今，他被认为是一个毕生致力于寻找提高粮食产量的办法的人。主语he与consider之间是被动关系，再结合时间状语Now可知，此处用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is
considered。
5．finding
解析：考查非谓语动词。
句意参考上题解析。devote...to...中的to是介词，其后接动名词作宾语，故填finding。
6．a
解析：考查冠司。句意：他种的是一种产量高的超级杂交水稻。此处的output是可数名词，用不定冠词表泛指，故填a。
7．However__
解析：考查副词。句意：种植他的杂交水稻，农民的收成是以前的两倍。然而，他并不关心出名。根据语境可知，上下文内容含有转折含义，故填However。
8．less
解析：考查形容词比较级。句意：他觉得成名后搞科研就不那么自由了。根据语境可知，此处表示“比成名前更少的自由”，含有比较意味，故填less。
9．hobbies
解析：考查名词。句意：他宁愿把时间花在业余爱好上。hobby是可数名词，此处用复数表泛指，故填hobbies。
10．with
解析：考查介词。句意：他认为有钱的人的烦恼只会更多而不会更少。此处用with表示“具有，拥有”，故填with。

Skyscrapers
are
the

to
seeing
tall
buildings
and
apartments.
Farms，on

associated
with
rural(农村的)life.However，there
are
experts
who
think
skyscrapers
should
become
farms
to
meet
the
increasing
food
needs.
By
the
middle
of
this
century,
some
scientists
suggest，almost
80%
of
the
earth's
population
could
live
in
cities.
In
addition，the
population
could
increase
to
9.1
billion
people
during
that
time
yet
the
amount
of
land
available
for
farming
will
be
the

current

crops
in
environmentally
friendly
skyscrapers,
could
be
the
solution.
In
spite
of
concerns
over
high
costs,
experts
want
to
make
it
a
reality
and
use
these
skyscrapers
to
grow
crops.
Vertical
farms
would
have
many
advantages,
supporters
say.
Unlike
traditional
farming,
vertical
farming
could
be
free
of
chemicals
and
diseases.
Besides,
crops
would
not
suffer
from
problems
like
flooding.
Finally，vertical
farms
would
reduce
the
cost
and
negative
effects
of
transporting
food
over
long
distances.
Some
argue
that
although
crops
growing
in
a
tall
glass
building
would
get
natural
sunlight
during
the
day，it
wouldn't
be
enough.
For
this
reason，vertical
farms
would
need
additional
light
sources(来源),
such
as
artificial
light.
Another
way
of
growing
fresh
food
is
to
build
urban
farms
on
rooftops.
This
more
practical
approach
may
be
more
achievable
than
the
idea
of
farms
in
skyscrapers,
researchers
suggest.
Experts
agree
that
innovative(革新的)farming
practices
are
needed
to
support
the
need
for
more
food
at
affordable
costs,
both
to
the
farmer
and
to
the
consumer，but
the
best
ideas
could
be
yet
to
come.

of
food
supply.
C．High
cost
for
transporting
crops.
D．Environmental

can
produce
organic
food.
B．It
requires
little
care.

needs
very
low
cost.
答案：A

traditional
farming,
vertical
farming
could
be
free
of
chemicals
and
diseases.可知，垂直农业不受化学物品和病虫害的影响，故可以生产有机食品，故选A。
3．What
is
a
big
challenge
to
make
vertical
farming
a
reality?
A．Farmable
land.
B．Crop
diseases.
C．Light
sources.

conditions.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Some
argue
that

growing
in
a
tall
glass
building
would
get
natural
sunlight
during

can
be
the
best
title
of
the
test?
A．Future
Food
Needs
B．Symbol
of
Urban
Life

How
to
Pass
Final
Exams
If
you're
a
student,
exams
are
an
important
part
not
only
of
any
class,
but
also
your
final
grade.
Preparing
throughout
the
semester
is
the
most
effective
way
to
do
well
on
your
final
exams.
__1__However,
there
are
things
you
can
do
to
help
you
pass
your
exams.
Attend
class
regularly.
You
cannot
successfully
pass
a
class
or
exams
if
you
do
not
attend
the
class.
This
will
allow
you
to
hear
important
lectures
and
take
notes.
It
also
helps
you
understand
your
readings
and
assignments.
__2__Teachers
usually
discuss
what
is
on
an
exam
during
classes.
If
you
aren't
in
class,
you
can't
get
this
important
information.
Start
studying
early.
__3__A
month
before
the
test
date
is
a
good
time
to
begin
your
preparations.
You
can
study
simply
by
reviewing
your
notes
for
20—30
minutes
a
day.
If
you
have
questions,
ask
the
teacher.
__4__
Practice
exams
are
a
highly
effective
way
to
study
for
tests.
They
will
help
you
relax
and
point
out
any
weak
areas
you
may
have
going
in
to
the
final
exam
date.
If
you
test
yourself
just
twice,
you
will
remember
75%—80%
of
the
material
two
weeks
later.
With
no
practice
tests,
that
figure
is
just
20%.
Reduce
your
anxiety.
You
wouldn't
have
anxiety
if
you
weren't
worried
about
passing
your
final
exam.
However,
research
shows
that
anxiety
blocks
your

which
can
really
put
a

A．Do

throughout
the
semester
is
the
most
effective
way
to
do
well
on

month
before
the
test
date
is
a
good
time
to
begin
your
preparations.(考试前一个月是开始准备的好时候。)以及本段小标题Start

4．A 解析：根据下文Practice
exams
are
a
highly
effective
way
to
study
for
tests.(练习测验是一种非常有效的备考方法。)中practice
exam可对应到A选项中Do
a
practice

Korea,
__1__
Vietnam,
food

本文是说明文。文章主要从筷子使用的范围，制作筷子的方式和方法，筷子使用的历史及其发展等几方面来展开论述的。
1．and
解析：考查并列连词。这里列举了一些亚洲的国家，它们是并列关系，故填and。
2．be_made
解析：考查固定词组。句意：精美的筷子可能是由刻有汉字的金或银制成的。be
made
of...由……制成，情态动词后跟动词原形，故填be
made。
3．to_create
解析：考查不定式作目的状语。句意：技术娴熟的工人会把各种各样的硬质木材和金属结合起来，以创造出特殊风格的筷子。这里用不定式表目的，故填to
create。
4．using
解析：考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意：人们可能使用大锅煮食物，用树枝搅拌食物。use的逻辑主语是people，两者是主动关系，用现在分词表示伴随状况，故填using。
5．as/when
解析：考查时间状语从句。句意：随着人口的增长，人们开始把食物切成小块，这样可以煮得快一点。这里是时间状语从句，用引导词as来引导，表示“随着”，符合语境。when意为“当……时候”，也符合语境，故填as/when。
6．gradually
解析：考查副词。副词修饰动词或形容词，这里修饰动词短语turned
into，故填gradually。
7．who
解析：考查非限制性定语从句。句中有逗号，说明是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Confucius，定语从句缺少主语，且指人，故填who。
8．development
解析：考查词性转换。the＋名词＋of...意为“……的……”，这里指“筷子的发展”，故填development。
9．were
解析：考查时态。根据句意可知，这里指的是刀子因太暴力而不适合在餐桌上使用，believed后跟一个宾语从句，and连接了两个并列的谓语，主语knives是复数，根据时态和主谓一致的原则，这里应用were。
10．with
解析：考查介词。句意：例如，在印度，大部分人还是用传统的吃饭方法——用手拿。with＋表示具体工具的名词，表示“用……”，故填with。Unit

Ⅰ.阅读理解
If
you've
always
wanted
to
start
your
own
herb
or
vegetable
garden
but
don't
have
the
yard
space
or
the
“green
thumb”
to
pull
it
off,
there's
now
another
option.
The
OGarden
Smart
is
an
indoor
gardening
system
that
grows
up
to
90
plants
at
one
time—20
of
which
are
safe
to
eat.
Strawberries,
green
beans,
peppers,
green
onions,
and
cherry
tomatoes
are
just
a
few
of
the
fruits
and
vegetables
the
OGarden
can
grow.
Up
to
30
potted
plants
can
be
placed
on
a
lower
shelf,
where
the
seeds
are
allowed
to
germinate
(发芽).
Once
they
germinate,
the
plants
can
then
be
moved
to
the
turning
wheel
up
above,
which
holds
up
to
60
plants
at
a
time.
It
takes
about
30
to
40
days
to
harvest
the
produce,
depending
on
the
type
of
plant
grown.
The
system
is
self?watering
and
uses
automatic
LED
lights
to
provide
the
right
amount
of
sunlight,
no
matter
what
season
it
is.
The
only
work
that's
required
is
planting
the
seeds
and
refilling
the
water
tank
once
a
week.
The
OGarden
Smart
is
the
second
product
introduced
by
company
co?founders
Pierre
Nibart
and
Pierre?Etienne
Bourget,
of
Quebec,
Canada.
The
original
OGarden
appeared
in
2017,
and
the
Smart
upgrade
adds
a
few
new
features,
including
automatic
watering,
automatic
LED
lighting,
and
a
water
warning
system.
Some
reviewers
of
the
original
OGarden
commented
that
the
system
is
easy
to
use,
and
that
the
vegetables
taste
better
than
store?bought
produce.
The
OGarden
Smart
will
set
you
back
859
Canadian
dollars
(about
614
USD)
if
you
order
it
on
Kickstarter
at
a
discounted
rate,
but
the
company's
founders
are
quick
to
point
out
that
it
will
help
you
save
money
in
the
long?run.
The
system
lets
you
grow
organic
(有机的)
produce
at
a
small
part
of
the
price
you'd
pay
at
your
local
grocery
store.
To

the
buying
options
available,

Any
orders
that
are

this
May.

Working
the
Land
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Scientists
say
a
huge
percentage
of
bird
species
are
in
danger
because
their
habitats,
or
homelands,
are
disappearing.
Traditional
migration
(迁徙)
paths
take
birds
through
countries
that
are
not
protecting
the
places
for
birds
to
stop,
rest
and
feed.
The
scientists
studied
the
migration
or
flight
paths
of
almost
1,500
species.
They
decided
that
91
percent
of
them
passed
through
dangerous
areas.
The
major
danger
for
migratory
birds
is
development.
Buildings
and
pavements
have
covered
the
places
where
birds
stop
and
feed
as
they
move
from
one
part
of
the
world
to
another.
One
of
the
scientists
who
worked
on
the
study
says,
“Many
of
these
important
places
have
been
lost
to
land_reclamation
because
of
urban,
industrial
and
agricultural
land
expansion.”
The
problem,
according
to
scientists,
is
that
many
of
these
small
birds
die
along
their
migration
paths
because
they
don't
have
a
safe
place
to
feed
and
rest.
There
is
no
place
to
restore
(恢复)
their
energy
for
the
next
part
of
their
journey.
Countries
in
North
Africa,
Central
Asia
and
those
along
the
coasts
of
East
Asia
are
having
the
most
difficult
time
in
protecting
land.
The
scientists
say
these
countries
do
not
have
enough
areas
that
are
safe
for
birds.
One
species
that
doesn't
exist
now
is
the
Eskimo
curlew.
“Our
world
gets
poorer
every
time
we
lose
a
species，”
one
of
the
scientists
says.
The
researchers
say
countries
need
to
work
together
and
come
up
with
safe
stopping
areas
for
birds
that
pass
through
their
boundaries.
For
example,
one
country
might
have
preserved
safe
zones
for
migrating
birds.
But
a
neighbor
country
might
not.
A
bird
might
die.One
scientist
who
is
not
connected
with
the
report
tells
Los
Angeles
Times
that
while
some
habitats
are
changing,
more
work
can
be
done
to
make
urban
areas
safe
for
birds.
He
says
small
changes,
like
planting
more
native
plants
or
keeping
cats
out
of
the
areas
birds
would
be
likely
to
use,
could
make
a
big
difference.
本文是一篇生态环境类短文。随着城市化建设和工农业发展，候鸟栖息地遭到严重破坏，这将直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。
1．The
disappearance
of
the
bird
habitats
is
mainly
caused
by
________.
A．development
B．the
change
of
climate
C．filling
seas
to
grow
grain
D．the
loss
of
land
and
water
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的The
major
danger
for
migratory
birds
is
development.
Buildings
and
pavements
have
covered
the
places
where
birds
stop
and
feed和Many
of
these
important
places
have
been
lost
to
land_reclamation
because
of
urban,
industrial
and
agricultural
land
expansion可知，导致大量鸟类栖息地消失的主要原因是发展，具体表现在城镇、工业和农业用地的扩张。故选A。
2.What
do
the
underlined
words
“land
reclamation”
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A．Abusing
the
farming
land.
B．The
disappearance
of
good
land.
C．Causing
the
land
quality
to
get
worse.
D．Making
land
suitable
for
farming
or
building.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第三段because
of
urban,
industrial
and
agricultural
land
expansion及前后内容可知，由于城市、工业和农业用地的扩张，可以猜测出land
reclamation意为“土地开垦”，所以Making
land
suitable
for
farming
or
building.的表述符合该词义。故选D。
3．Many
birds
die
on
the
way
of
migration
mainly
because
they
________.
A．are
harmed
by
humans
B．are
killed
by
other
animals
C．have
to
take
a
long
journey
D．have
no
safe
place
to
rest
and
eat
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的The
problem,
according
to
scientists,
is
that
many
of
these
small
birds
die
along
their
migration
paths
because
they
don't
have
a
safe
place
to
feed
and
rest.
There
is
no
place
to
restore
(恢复)
their
energy
for
the
next
part
of
their
journey.可知，迁徙中死去的鸟主要是因为在迁徙途中没有可供休息和进食的安全地点。故选D。
4．According
to
the
researchers,
how
can
we
protect
the
migrating
birds?
A．By
keeping
fewer
cats
or
dogs.
B．By
stopping
the
urban
development.
C．By
helping
change
the
birds'
migration
paths.
D．By
preserving
the
local
ecological
environments.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。文章最后两段是说，各国需要合作，为路过的鸟类提供安全的栖息地。各国可以做一些工作，把该国的城镇区域变成鸟类安全的栖息地。结合最后所列举的两项举措我们可推知，要保护好迁徙的鸟类，我们就要保护好地方生态环境。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
Small
talk
is
a
good
way
to
make
friends.
If
you
travel
to
other
countries
or
have
friends
from
abroad,
do
you
know
how
to
use
small
talk
to
make
conversation?
In
Britain,
the
best
topic
is
the
weather.
British
weather
is
changing
all
the
time.
__1__
Besides
weather,
it's
good
to
talk
about
gardens
with
English
people.
You
could
say
“Those
roses
look
really
beautiful,
don't
they？”
__2__
So
it's
also
nice
to
start
with
“What
a
lovely
dog!
What
is
its
name？”
In
America,
people
like
to
talk
about
sports
news,
such
as
American
football
and
basketball.__3__So
you
might
say
“It's
a
nice
shirt!
Where
did
you
get
it？”
Weather
is
a
safe
topic
there,
too.
__4__Don't
ask
people
“How
old
are
you？”
Never
ask:
“How
much
money
do
you
make？”It
makes
people
uncomfortable.
Don't
ask
strangers
whether
they
are
married.
__5__
There
are
others
in
our
daily
life.
A．English
people
love
their
pets.
B．Americans
also
talk
about
clothes.
C．Politics
or
religion
is
not
a
good
topic.
D．Only
a
few
topics
are
not
used
for
small
talk.
E．There
are
also
a
lot
of
topics
to
avoid
during
small
talk.
F．You
can
start
chatting
by
saying
“It's
a
lovely
day
today,
isn't
it？”
G．Friends
are
important
to
us
all,
but
how
to
make
friends
is
a
problem.
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了怎样和外国人开启一个聊天的话题。
1．F 解析：根据本空前的“In
Britain,
the
best
topic
is
the
weather.”可知，在英国，天气是最好的话题，故F项(你可以这样开始聊天：“今天天气真好，不是吗？”)符合语境。
2．A 解析：根据本空后的“So
it's
also
nice
to
start
with‘What
a
lovely
dog!
What
is
its
name？’”可知，以“多么可爱的狗狗啊！它叫什么？”开启一段对话也很好，故A项(英国人喜欢他们的宠物)符合语境。
3．B 解析：根据本空后的“So
you
might
say
‘It's
a
nice
shirt!
Where
did
you
get
it？’”可知，你也可以说“衬衫很不错！你在哪里买的？”，故B项(美国人也谈论服饰)符合语境。
4．E 解析：根据本空后的“Don't
ask
people
‘How
old
are
you？’
Never
ask:
‘How
much
money
do
you
make？’”可知，不要问别人的年龄和薪水，故E项(在闲聊中也有很多话题要避免)符合语境。
5．C 解析：根据本空前的内容可知，本段举例说明聊天时要避免的话题，故C项(政治和宗教不是一个好的话题)符合语境。
Ⅲ.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。
Sara
Savick
remembers
one
special
Easter
when
she
was
nine
years
old.
Her
parents
gave
her
a
baby
duckling
in
a
yellow
basket.
“Mom
said
later
that
she
bought
the
little
duck
because
she
felt
sorry
for
it，”
recalled
Sara.
The
people
at
the
pet
store
colored
the
feathers
pink
for
Easter.
Sara
named
the
duck
Pinky.
Sara's
mother
really
didn't
think
the
baby
duck
would
survive
very
long.
But
to
her
surprise,
Pinky
grew
and
got
stronger
and
stronger.
Soon,
the
little
duckling
was
a
healthy,
hungry
duck
with
white
feathers.
“We
fed
Pinky
oatmeal,
cooked
and
uncooked,
and
small
pieces
of
vegetables，”
said
Sara.
Pinky
lived
inside
the
house
with
Sara
and
her
family.
She
specially
fancied
taking
baths
with
Sara.
Everyone
treated
Pinky
as
a
family
member.
But
just
when
everything
appeared
to
be
perfect,
the
night
of
the
“talk”
came.
Sara's
mom
and
dad
sat
her
down,
explaining
that
the
best
thing
for
Pinky
was
to
live
a
normal
duck
life,
with
other
ducks.
It
was
not
natural
for
ducks
to
live
indoors
with
a
family,
her
father
told
her.
He
added
Pinky
needed
to
swim
in
ponds
and
do
all
the
same
things
that
ducks
in
the
wild
do.
Sara
started
to
cry,
knowing
what
was
going
to
happen.
Sara's
parents
decided
to
take
Pinky
to
a
park,
which
was
two
miles
away.
There
was
a
pond
with
a
lot
of
other
ducks.
Pinky
would
have
the
chance
to
live
a
natural
life
and
Sara
could
still
visit
her.
The
big
day
came,
Sara
and
her
parents
put
Pinky
in
a
box
and
drove
to
the
park.
Sara
said
that
Pinky
did
not
look
happy;
maybe
Pinky
was
convinced
that
she
was
a
human,
not
a
duck.
答案
Paragraph
1：
Everyone
was
sad
when
they
left
Pinky
at
the
pond,
even
Sara's
father.
But
he
tried
to
convince
Sara
that
Pinky
was
fine.
Walking
towards
the
car,
Sara
looked
over
her
shoulder
and
saw
Pinky
standing
alone.
The
other
ducks
were
swimming
around
in
circles,
looking
at
Pinky.
To
Sara,
it
seemed
that
they
were
trying
to
identify
the
strange
animal.
They
didn't
recognize
Pinky
as
a
duck.
Worried
about
Pinky,
Sara
dreamed
of
Pinky
being
bullied
by
other
ducks
the
whole
night.
Paragraph
2：
The
next
morning,
when
looking
out
of
the
kitchen
window,
Sara
couldn't
believe
her
eyes!
There
was
Pinky,
happily
walking
around
on
the
grass.
Thrilled
at
what
she
saw,
she
kept
asking
herself,
“How
did
she
make
it？”
After
all,
it
was
two
miles
away
and
he
managed
to
walk
back
through
the
city
street.
Incredible!
But
her
parents
drove
Pinky
back
to
the
pond
again
regardless
of
her
request.
The
following
morning,
there
was
Pinky
again
on
the
grass!
Seeing
Pinky
again,
her
father,
waving
his
arms
about
wildly,
moved
his
lips
without
saying
anything.
Meanwhile,
Sarah,
overjoyed,
hugged
Pinky
tightly,
tears
streaming
down
her
cheeks.
