（A）
Paper
seems
to
be
very
common
today,
but
it
is
a
basic
part
of
modern
civilization
(
文
明
).
In
the
Muslim
world,
people
began
to
produce
paper
in
Baghdad
1,100
years
ago
and
it
is
believed
that
the
secrets
of
Chinese
paper
making
were
passed
on
to
the
people
of
Baghdad
around
the
year
751.
Very
quickly,
the
art
of
paper
making
was
developed
and
transformed
into
mass
production
by
the
factories
of
Baghdad.
Many
factories
were
set
up
to
make
paper.
Some
factories
even
developed
the
skill
of
using
linen
(
亚麻
)
to
take
the
place
of
mulberry
trees
(
桑树
)
which
the
Chinese
used.
People
paid
a
lot
of
attention
to
improving
production
during
this
period.
With
this
development,
many
paper
making
factories
appeared
in
Baghdad.
And
then
the
industry
spread
to
Damascus,
which
became
a
major
source
(
来
源
)
of
paper
for
Europe
as
well
as
other
places
around
the
world.
After
the
industry
developed
in
Iraq,
Syria
and
Palestine,
it
spread
west.
The
first
paper
factory
in
Africa
was
built
in
Egypt
around
850.
Then
a
paper
factory
was
built
in
Morocco,
and
it
reached
Spain
in
950.
In
1293
the
first
paper
factory
was
set
up
in
Italy.
The
first
use
of
paper
in
England
did
not
come
until
1309,
and
then
Germany
in
the
late
1300s.

(B)
The
performers
played
different
Chinese
musical
instruments
on
stage,
swinging
along
with
the
beautiful
sounds.
Welcome
to
the
debut
(
初次露面
)
performance
of
Moja
---a
band
of
three
robots.
Students
from
Tsinghua
University
recently
enjoyed
a
special
musical
play,
which
tells
the
story
of
a
student
who
faces
many
challenges
when
he
invents
musical
robots
in
a
lab.
The
musical
drama
was
performed
by
both
human
actors
and
robots.
The
three
Moja
band
members
are
Yuheng,
Yaoguang
and
Kaiyang.
They
play
traditional
Chinese
musical
instruments
---bamboo
flute,
konghou
and
drums.
The
robot
band
project
was
developed
by
teachers
and
students
from
Tsinghua,
as
well
as
entrepreneurs
(
企业家
)
made
up
of
the
university's
graduates.
The
developers
have
different
skills,
such
as
robot
control,
sculpture
(
雕
塑
)
artists,
new
media
artists,
drama
experts
and
musicians.
“Considering
the
appearance,
we
try
to
create
images
from
the
view
of
sculptors,
in
order
to
make
the
robots’
postures
(
姿势
)
and
shapes
look
more
realistic”,says
Mi
Haipeng,
who
leads
the
project.
In
recent
years,
as
a
new
art
form,
robot
art
has
appeared
at
home
and
abroad.
Unlike
industrial
robots
and
service
robots,
art
robots
pay
more
attention
to
the
relationship
between
robots
and
humans
or
between
robots
and
social
culture.
“Across
the
bridge
of
art,
we
hope
to
show
the
idea
of
a
harmonious
coexistence
(
和
谐
共
存)
between
humans
and
technology”,
Mi
says,
adding
that
the
robot
band
will
have
more
members
in
the
future.
31.
Why
was
the
musical
play
special?
A.
Because
some
robots
took
part
in
it.
B.
Because
it
was
for
the
graduation
ceremony.
C.
Because
it
was
performed
in
order
to
raise
money.
D.
Because
different
music
were
played
in
it.

Our
kids
are
the
future.
They
have
the
right
to
learn
about
our
country.
It
is
your
responsibility,
as
a
parent,
to
make
sure
your
kids
know
about
the
economy.
Here
are
some
tips
to
help
you
teach
your
kids
about
economy.
Join
Learning
Activities.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
teach
a
child
something
is
to
develop
his
brain
with
fun
activities.
The
game
of
Monopoly
(
大富翁
)
is
a
great
way
to
explain
the
simple
knowledge
of
finances
(
金融
).
Your
local
library
may
also
have
fun
activities
or
books
that
can
help
you
teach
your
child
about
the
economy.
Have
Daily
Conversations.
Repetition
is
the
key
to
leaning
about
the
economy.
At
first,
you
should
talk
about
its
rules,
such
as
how
money
works
or
how
loans
(
贷款
)
work.
After
that,
you
can
explain
some
important
terms
(
术语
)
and
why
they
are
important.
Answer
Every
Question
with
a
Simple
Explanation.
Your
children
will
have
a
hard
time
to
understand
difficult
words
and
sentences.
You
need
to
do
your
best
to
explain
things
in
very
simple
words
and
terms.
It
can
help
children
understand
easily.
Take
Your
Kids
on
Field
Trips.
Sometimes,
the
best
way
to
learn
something
is
to
see
it.
For
example,
if
you
take
your
kids
to
a
museum
of
American
history,
you
can
show
them
how
different
the
economy
was
at
different

Jarrett
Little
was
road
testing
his
mountain
bike
outside
when
his
riding
partner,
Chris
Dixon,
stopped
suddenly.
Something
in
the
distance
moving
among
the
trees
had
caught
her
attention.
It
turned
out
to
be
a
five-month-old
Great
Dane.
“He
was
really
thin
and
had
a
lot
of
road
rashes
(
皮
疹
)
and
a
broken
leg,”
Little
told
CBS
News.
The
cyclists
fed
the
dog
and
shared
their
water.
They
also
quickly
realized
that
the
dog
was
coming
with
them
although
they
didn’t
know
how
to
deal
with
him.
They
were
more
than
seven
miles
from
the
downtown
and
riding
bikes.
“But
we
couldn’t
leave
him,”
Little
said.
Little
had
an
idea.
He
carefully
picked
up
his
new
friend
and
slipped
his
back
legs
into
the
back
pockets
of
his
clothes.
Then
he
put
the
dog’s
front
paws
(
爪
子
)
over
his
shoulders.
“He
was
injured,
so
he
wasn’t
trying
to
fight,”
Little
said.
“He
was
also
happy
that
we
were
there,
touching
him,
and
that
we
didn’t
leave
him
behind.”
Their
30-minute
ride
into
town
ended
at
a
bike
store,
where
they
got
more
water
and
food
for
the
dog.
That
was
when
Andrea
Shaw,
who
was
in
town
on
business,
arrived.
After
learning
what
had
happened
to
the
dog,
Shaw
decided
to
keep
him.
Shaw
called
him
Columbo
and
scheduled
an
operation
(
安排一场手术
)
on
his
leg
immediately.
Today,
Columbo
is
living
happily
on
a
farm.
As
Dixon
said,
“He
is
literally
the
luckiest
dog
alive.”

然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(A)
It
happened
two
years
ago.
It
was
Mother’s
Day
morning.
I
was
doing
my
shopping
at
our
local
supermarket
with
my
five-year-old
son,
Tenyson.
As
we
were
leaving,
we
found
that
only?minutes
earlier
an
elderly
woman
had
fallen
over
at
the
entrance
and
had
hit
her
head
on
the
ground.
Her
husband
was
with
her,
but
there
was?blood?everywhere
and
the
woman
was
embarrassed(尴尬的)
and
clearly
in
shock.
Walking
towards
the
scene,
Tenyson
became
very
sad
about
what
had
happened
to
the
couple.
He
said
to
me,
“Mum,
it’s
not
much
fun
falling
over
in
front
of
everyone.”
At
the
front
of
the
supermarket
a
charity
group
had
set
up
a
stand
selling
fish
and
chips
and
flowers
to
raise
funds.
Tenyson
suggested
that
we
should
buy
the
lady
a
flower.?“It
will
make
her
feel
better,”?he
said.
I
was
amazed
that
he’d
come
up
with
such
a
sweet
idea.
So
we
went
over
to
the
flower
seller
and
asked
her
if
we
could?buy?a
flower
for
the
lady
to
cheer
her
up.
“Just
take
it,”
she
replied.
“I
can’t
take
your
money
for
such
a
wonderful
gesture(姿势).”
By
now
paramedics（救援人员）had
arrived,
and
were
attending
the
injured(受伤的)
woman.
As
we
walked
up
to
her,
my
son
became?intimidated?by
all
the?blood?and
medical
equipment(器具).
He
said
he
was
just
too
scared
to
go
up
to
her.
Instead
I
gave
the
flower
to
the?woman’s
husband
and
told
him,
“My
son
was?very
sad
for
your
wife
and
wanted
to
give
her
this?flower
to
make
her
feel
better.”
At
that,
the
old
man
started
crying
and
said,
“Thank
you
so
much,
you
have
a
wonderful
son.
Happy
Mother’s
Day
to
you.”
The
man
then
bent
down
and
gave
his
wife
the
flower,
telling?her?who
it
was
from.
Though
badly
hurt
and
shaken,
the
old
lady
looked
up
at
Tenyson
with
love
in
her
eyes
and
gave?him?a
little
smile.
26.
What
does

want

tell

never
be
too

speak

"Mona
Lisa"
attracts
art
lovers
around
the
world．Do
you
know
Lenardo
da
Vinci
also
painted
an
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
before？It
will
be
exhibited
in
Shanghai
next
year．Joel
Feldman，the
general
secretary
of
the
Mona
Lisa
Foundation，accepted
an
interview
about
the
painting
and
the
organization
recently．
Q：How
was
the
"Earlier

discovered？
A：In
1913，Hugh
Blaker，a
manager
of
the
Holburne
Museum
in
England，found
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
and
brought
it
to
his
museum．A
year
later，the
painting
was
sent
to
the
US
for
publisher，bought
the
painting
and
kept
it
in
the
Bank
of
Swizerland．
Since
the
Mona
Lisa
Foundation
was
set
up
in
2008，we
have
done
lots
of
necessary
research
on
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
and
many

is

and
Shanghai
obviously
would
be
the
first
stop．
Q：Could
you
tell
me
more
details
about
the
security
for
the
painting？
A：I
can't
tell
you
a
lot．What
I
can
say
is
that
we
paid
huge
amounts
of
money
for
the
insurance
and
the
visitors
will
be
allowed
to
visit
the
painting
a
day．But

close
to
the

Like
a
lot
of
young
people.
Joanna
Rakoff
took
the
first
job
she
was
offered.
She
decided
to
work
at
one
of
New
York’s
oldest
literary
agencies.
Yet
she
had
no
idea
that
it
would
be
the
first
stepping
stone
on
the
way
to
becoming
a
writer,
and
later,
the
novelist
she
is
today.
In
the
face
of
the
ups
and
downs,
she
gave
it
her
all.
She
can
still
remember
that
her
boss
was
very
challenging.
“The
thing
that
worked
when
my
boss
was
being
difficult
was
remembering
it
wasn’t
personal.
Usually,
it’s
not
about
you,
it’s
them,”
she
advises
anyone
in
a
similar
situation.
Being
a
manager
and
editor
herself
later
in
her
career
also
helped
to
understand
what
happened
years
before.
“It’s
really
hard
managing
a
lot
of
people.
I
had
a
lot
more
sympathy
for
my
former
boss
after
that.
You
don’t
know
everything
that’s
going
on
with
them,
and
remember:
they’re
a
person,
too,”
she
says.
After
only
a
year,
Rakoff
realized
she
was
not
“an
agency
person”
as
her
manager
had
believed,
but
the
seed
had
been
planted.
She
left
with
dreams
of
becoming
a
writer
and
a
real
understanding
of
the
world
of
glossy
(亮丽光鲜的)
magazines.
Rakoff
rose
from
writing
magazine
articles
to
features
editor,
and
later
editor-in-chief.
Dreams
of
one
day
writing
fiction
remained.
“Writing
pieces
for
magazines
really
helped
me
to
become
an
author.
It
helped
make
writing
less
scary.
When
you
write
regularly
and
have
deadlines,
it
really
teaches
you
that
sometimes
you
have
to
sit
down
and
just
do
it,”
she
says.
With
all
the
pressure
on
young
people
these
days,
it
is
important
to
remember
you
don’t
have
to
be
in
the
perfect
job
right
away.
What’s
more,
you
don’t
need
to
know
what
you
want
to
be
or
do
for
a
career
as
soon
as
you
finish
high
school
or
college.
Rakoff
explains
how
many
of
her
very
successful
friends
found
different
paths
toward
becoming
fiction
writers.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
having
a
job
to
keep
you
busy
and
pay
the
bills
while
you
figure
out
your
passions,
she
says.
36.
What
did
Joanna
Rakoff
do
when
she
was
offered
the
first
job?
A.
She
gave
it
up
to
seek
for
some
better
opportunities.
B.
She
left
it
at
once
because
the
boss
was
too
demanding.
C.
She
agreed
to
work
for
the
old
literacy
agency
in
New
York.
D.
She
accepted
it
believing
it
would
lead
to
her
future
success
37.
How
could
Rakoff
understand
her
boss
in
the
literary
agency?
A.
She
thought
her
boss
was
under
great
pressure.
B.
She
believed
her
boss
expected
her
to
work
better.
C.
She
knew
her
colleagues
were
doing
well
enough.

She
became
a
manager
and
editor

on.

has
142
miles

The
LondonMetro
Features：Londoners

subway
the

it
anything
you
like．Trains
started

(A)
It
happened
two
years
ago.
It
was
Mother’s
Day
morning.
I
was
doing
my
shopping
at
our
local
supermarket
with
my
five-year-old
son
Tenyson.
As
we
were
leaving
,we
found
that
only?minutes
earlier
an
elderly
woman
had
fallen
over
at
the
entrance
and
had
hit
her
head
on
the
ground.
Her
husband
was
with
her
but
there
was?blood?everywhere
and
the
woman
was
embarrassed
and
clearly
in
shock.
Walking
towards
the
scene,
Tenyson
became
very
sad
about
what
had
happened
to
the
couple.
He
said
to
me
“Mum
it’s
not
much
fun
falling
over
in
front
of
everyone.”
At
the
front
of
the
supermarket
a
charity
group
had
set
up
a
stand
selling
fish
and
chips
and
flowers
to
raise
funds.
Tenyson
suggested
that
we
should
buy
the
lady
a
flower.?“It
will
make
her
feel
better
”?he
said.
I
was
amazed
that
he’d
come
up
with
such
a
sweet
idea.
So
we
went
over
to
the
flower
seller
and
asked
her
if
we
could?buy?a
flower
for
the
lady
to
cheer
her
up.
“Just
take
it
”
she
replied.
“I
can’t
take
your
money
for
such
a
wonderful
gesture.”
By
now
doctors
had
arrived
and
were
attending
the
injured
woman.
As
we
walked
up
to
her,
my
son
became?intimidated?by
all
the?blood?and
medical
equipment(器具).
He
said
he
was
just
too
scared
to
go
up
to
her.
Instead
I
gave
the
flower
to
the?woman’s
husband
and
told
him
“My
son
was?very
sad
for
your
wife
and
wanted
to
give
her
this?flower
to
make
her
feel
better.”
The
old
man
started
crying
and
said
“Thank
you
so
much，you
have
a
wonderful
son.
Happy
Mother’s
Day
to
you.”
The
man
then
bent
down
and
gave
his
wife
the
flower
telling?her?who
it
was
from.
Though
badly
hurt
and
shaken,
the
old
lady
looked
up
at
Tenyson
with
love
in
her
eyes
and
gave?him?a
little
smile.

kept

Since

up

and
Shanghai
obviously
would
be
the
first
stop．
Q：Could
you
tell
me
more
details
about
the
security
for
the
painting？
A：I
can't
tell
you
a
lot．What
I
can
say
is
that
we
paid
huge
amounts
of
money
for
the
insurance
and
the
visitors
will
be
allowed
to
visit
the
painting
a
day．But
visitors

to
the

Joanna
Rakoff
took
the
first
job
she
was
offered.
She
decided
to
work
at
one
of
New
York’s
oldest
literary
agencies.
Yet
she
had
no
idea
that
it
would
be
the
first
stepping
stone
on
the
way
to
becoming
a
writer,
and
later,
the
novelist
she
is
today.
In
the
face
of
the
ups
and
downs,
she
gave
it
her
all.
She
can
still
remember
that
her
boss
was
very
challenging.
“The
thing
that
worked
when
my
boss
was
being
difficult
was
remembering
it
wasn’t
personal.
Usually,
it’s
not
about
you,
it’s
them,”
she
advises
anyone
in
a
similar
situation.
Being
a
manager
and
editor
herself
later
in
her
career
also
helped
to
understand
what
happened
years
before.
“It’s
really
hard
managing
a
lot
of
people.
I
had
a
lot
more
sympathy
for
my
former
boss
after
that.
You
don’t
know
everything
that’s
going
on
with
them,
and
remember:
they’re
a
person,
too,”
she
says.
After
only
a
year,
Rakoff
realized
she
was
not
“an
agency
person”
as
her
manager
had
believed,
but
the
seed
had
been
planted.
She
left
with
dreams
of
becoming
a
writer
and
a
real
understanding
of
the
world
of
glossy
(亮丽光鲜的)
magazines.
Rakoff
rose
from
writing
magazine
articles
to
features
editor,
and
later
editor-in-chief.
Dreams
of
one
day
writing
fiction
remained.
“Writing
pieces
for
magazines
really
helped
me
to
become
an
author.
It
helped
make
writing
less
scary.
When
you
write
regularly
and
have
deadlines,
it
really
teaches
you
that
sometimes
you
have
to
sit
down
and
just
do
it,”
she
says.
With
all
the
pressure
on
young
people
these
days,
it
is
important
to
remember
you
don’t
have
to
be
in
the
perfect
job
right
away.
What’s
more,
you
don’t
need
to
know
what
you
want
to
be
or
do
for
a
career
as
soon
as
you
finish
high
school
or
college.
Rakoff
explains
how
many
of
her
very
successful
friends
found
different
paths
toward
becoming
fiction
writers.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
having
a
job
to
keep
you
busy
and
pay
the
bills
while
you
figure
out
your
passions,
she
says.

Rakoff
do

A.
She
gave
it
up
to
seek

some
better
opportunities.
B.
She
left
it

demanding.
C.
She
agreed

work
for

York.

（A）
Paper
seems
to
be
very
common
today,
but
it
is
a
basic
part
of
modern
civilization
(
文
明
).
In
the
Muslim
world,
people
began
to
produce
paper
in
Baghdad
1,100
years
ago
and
it
is
believed
that
the
secrets
of
Chinese
paper
making
were
passed
on
to
the
people
of
Baghdad
around
the
year
751.
Very
quickly,
the
art
of
paper
making
was
developed
and
transformed
into
mass
production
by
the
factories
of
Baghdad.
Many
factories
were
set
up
to
make
paper.
Some
factories
even
developed
the
skill
of
using
linen
(
亚麻
)
to
take
the
place
of
mulberry
trees
(
桑树
)
which
the
Chinese
used.
People
paid
a
lot
of
attention
to
improving
production
during
this
period.
With
this
development,
many
paper
making
factories
appeared
in
Baghdad.
And
then
the
industry
spread
to
Damascus,
which
became
a
major
source
(
来
源
)
of
paper
for
Europe
as
well
as
other
places
around
the
world.
After
the
industry
developed
in
Iraq,
Syria
and
Palestine,
it
spread
west.
The
first
paper
factory
in
Africa
was
built
in
Egypt
around
850.
Then
a
paper
factory
was
built
in
Morocco,
and
it
reached
Spain
in
950.
In
1293
the
first
paper
factory
was
set
up
in
Italy.
The
first
use
of
paper
in
England
did
not
come
until
1309,
and
then
Germany
in
the
late
1300s.

(B)
The
performers
played
different
Chinese
musical
instruments
on
stage,
swinging
along
with
the
beautiful
sounds.
Welcome
to
the
debut
(
初次露面
)
performance
of
Moja
---a
band
of
three
robots.
Students
from
Tsinghua
University
recently
enjoyed
a
special
musical
play,
which
tells
the
story
of
a
student
who
faces
many
challenges
when
he
invents
musical
robots
in
a
lab.
The
musical
drama
was
performed
by
both
human
actors
and
robots.
The
three
Moja
band
members
are
Yuheng,
Yaoguang
and
Kaiyang.
They
play
traditional
Chinese
musical
instruments
---bamboo
flute,
konghou
and
drums.
The
robot
band
project
was
developed
by
teachers
and
students
from
Tsinghua,
as
well
as
entrepreneurs
(
企业家
)
made
up
of
the
university's
graduates.
The
developers
have
different
skills,
such
as
robot
control,
sculpture
(
雕
塑
)
artists,
new
media
artists,
drama
experts
and
musicians.
“Considering
the
appearance,
we
try
to
create
images
from
the
view
of
sculptors,
in
order
to
make
the
robots’
postures
(
姿势
)
and
shapes
look
more
realistic”,says
Mi
Haipeng,
who
leads
the
project.
In
recent
years,
as
a
new
art
form,
robot
art
has
appeared
at
home
and
abroad.
Unlike
industrial
robots
and
service
robots,
art
robots
pay
more
attention
to
the
relationship
between
robots
and
humans
or
between
robots
and
social
culture.
“Across
the
bridge
of
art,
we
hope
to
show
the
idea
of
a
harmonious
coexistence
(
和
谐
共
存)
between
humans
and
technology”,
Mi
says,
adding
that
the
robot
band
will
have
more
members
in
the
future.
31.
Why
was
the
musical
play
special?
A.
Because
some
robots
took
part
in
it.
B.
Because
it
was
for
the
graduation
ceremony.
C.
Because
it
was
performed
in
order
to
raise
money.
D.
Because
different
music
were
played
in
it.
32.
What
did

on
stage?
①
They
sang
songs
②
They
called
students’
names.

Our
kids
are
the
future.
They
have
the
right
to
learn
about
our
country.
It
is
your
responsibility,
as
a
parent,
to
make
sure
your
kids
know
about
the
economy.
Here
are
some
tips
to
help
you
teach
your
kids
about
economy.
Join
Learning
Activities.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
teach
a
child
something
is
to
develop
his
brain
with
fun
activities.
The
game
of
Monopoly
(
大富翁
)
is
a
great
way
to
explain
the
simple
knowledge
of
finances
(
金融
).
Your
local
library
may
also
have
fun
activities
or
books
that
can
help
you
teach
your
child
about
the
economy.
Have
Daily
Conversations.
Repetition
is
the
key
to
leaning
about
the
economy.
At
first,
you
should
talk
about
its
rules,
such
as
how
money
works
or
how
loans
(
贷款
)
work.
After
that,
you
can
explain
some
important
terms
(
术语
)
and
why
they
are
important.
Answer
Every
Question
with
a
Simple
Explanation.
Your
children
will
have
a
hard
time
to
understand
difficult
words
and
sentences.
You
need
to
do
your
best
to
explain
things
in
very
simple
words
and
terms.
It
can
help
children
understand
easily.
Take
Your
Kids
on
Field
Trips.
Sometimes,
the
best
way
to
learn
something
is
to
see
it.
For
example,
if
you
take
your
kids
to
a
museum
of
American
history,
you
can
show
them
how
different
the
economy
was
at

Jarrett
Little
was
road
testing
his
mountain
bike
outside
when
his
riding
partner,
Chris
Dixon,
stopped
suddenly.
Something
in
the
distance
moving
among
the
trees
had
caught
her
attention.
It
turned
out
to
be
a
five-month-old
Great
Dane.
“He
was
really
thin
and
had
a
lot
of
road
rashes
(
皮
疹
)
and
a
broken
leg,”
Little
told
CBS
News.
The
cyclists
fed
the
dog
and
shared
their
water.
They
also
quickly
realized
that
the
dog
was
coming
with
them
although
they
didn’t
know
how
to
deal
with
him.
They
were
more
than
seven
miles
from
the
downtown
and
riding
bikes.
“But
we
couldn’t
leave
him,”
Little
said.
Little
had
an
idea.
He
carefully
picked
up
his
new
friend
and
slipped
his
back
legs
into
the
back
pockets
of
his
clothes.
Then
he
put
the
dog’s

(A)
It
happened
two
years
ago.
It
was
Mother’s
Day
morning.
I
was
doing
my
shopping
at
our
local
supermarket
with
my
five-year-old
son,
Tenyson.
As
we
were
leaving,
we
found
that
only?minutes
earlier
an
elderly
woman
had
fallen
over
at
the
entrance
and
had
hit
her
head
on
the
ground.
Her
husband
was
with
her,
but
there
was?blood?everywhere
and
the
woman
was
embarrassed(尴尬的)
and
clearly
in
shock.
Walking
towards
the
scene,
Tenyson
became
very
sad
about
what
had
happened
to
the
couple.
He
said
to
me,
“Mum,
it’s
not
much
fun
falling
over
in
front
of
everyone.”
At
the
front
of
the
supermarket
a
charity
group
had
set
up
a
stand
selling
fish
and
chips
and
flowers
to
raise
funds.
Tenyson
suggested
that
we
should
buy
the
lady
a
flower.?“It
will
make
her
feel
better,”?he
said.
I
was
amazed
that
he’d
come
up
with
such
a
sweet
idea.
So
we
went
over
to
the
flower
seller
and
asked
her
if
we
could?buy?a
flower
for
the
lady
to
cheer
her
up.
“Just
take
it,”
she
replied.
“I
can’t
take
your
money
for
such
a
wonderful
gesture(姿势).”
By
now
paramedics（救援人员）had
arrived,
and
were
attending
the
injured(受伤的)
woman.
As
we
walked
up
to
her,
my
son
became?intimidated?by
all
the?blood?and
medical
equipment(器具).
He
said
he
was
just
too
scared
to
go
up
to
her.
Instead
I
gave
the
flower
to
the?woman’s
husband
and
told
him,
“My
son
was?very
sad
for
your
wife
and
wanted
to
give
her
this?flower
to
make
her
feel
better.”
At
that,
the
old
man
started
crying
and
said,
“Thank
you
so
much,
you
have
a
wonderful
son.
Happy
Mother’s
Day
to
you.”
The
man
then
bent
down
and
gave
his
wife
the
flower,
telling?her?who
it
was
from.
Though
badly
hurt
and
shaken,
the
old
lady
looked
up
at
Tenyson
with
love
in
her
eyes
and
gave?him?a
little
smile.
26.
What
does
the
writer
want
to
tell
us?
A.
One
can
never
be
too
careful.
B.
Actions
speak
louder
than
words.
C.
Love
begins
with
a
little
smile.
D.
A
small
act
of
kindness
brings
a
great
joy.
27.

the
following

TRUE
according
to
the
passage?

elderly
woman
was
knocked
down

在去年的母亲节这一天，我们在购物的时候，前面有一位老人摔倒了并流了很多血。我儿子给她买了花，结果对方很感激儿子善意的做法。也很开心有人能够关心她。作者想通过这个事情告诉我们：有时候一件微不足道的的善意的行为会给自己和他人带来很多的快乐，要与人为善。
【26题详解】
D
推理判断题。这篇文章讲了一个母亲节，作者和儿子在商场购物，发现了一位摔倒受伤的老人，作者的儿子坚持要给老人买束花。尽管老人受伤严重，但是仍然向作者的儿子露出了微笑。由此可见一个小小的善举都可能带来快乐。故选D。
【27题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中so
we
went
over
to
the
flower
seller
and
asked
her
if
we
could
buy
a
flower
for
the
lady
to
cheer
her
up.可知对Tenyson的主意获得了他的母亲的支持，故选B。
【28题详解】
C

said
he
was
just
too
scared
to
go
up
to
her可猜出

【29题详解】
D
推理判断题。根据第一段的I
was
doing
my
shopping
at
our
local
supermarket
with
my
five-year-old
son,
Tenyson.可知这个故事首先发生的是：我和我五岁大的儿子去当地的超市购物。故c项排在第一。故排除B项。根据第一段的As
we
were
leaving,
we
found
that
only?minutes
earlier
an
elderly
woman
had
fallen
over
at
the
entrance可知当我们要离开时，一位老人在门口处摔倒了，故e项排在第二，故排除C项。根据By
now
paramedics（救援人员）had
arrived,
and
were
attending
the
injured(受伤的)
woman.可知后来救援人员到来了，故a项排在第三。因此故事发生的正确顺序，应选D。
【30题详解】
A
标题归纳题。这篇文章讲了一个母亲节，作者和儿子在商场购物，发现了一位摔倒受伤的老人，作者的儿子坚持要给老人买束花。尽管老人受伤严重，但是仍然向作者的儿子露出了微笑。所以最好的题目应该是鲜花的力量，故选A。
点睛：根据题干，在文中寻找答案所在的语句和段落，进行分析理解，词义猜测，推理判断和归纳总结，选出正确的选项。例如小题3，根据he
said
he
was

"Mona
Lisa"

da
Vinci
also
painted
an

the
Mona
Lisa
Foundation，accepted
an
interview
about
the
painting

the
organization
recently．
Q：How
was
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
discovered？
A：In
1913，Hugh
Blaker，a

of
the
Holburne
Museum
in

the
"Earlier

later，the
painting
was
sent
to
the
US
for
publisher，bought
the
painting
and
kept
it
in
the
Bank
of
Swizerland．
Since

Lisa
Foundation

first
saw
the
"Mona

in
the
Louvre
as
a
young
boy．Quite
honestly
I
was
disappointed
as
the
painting
looked
quite
small

dark．When

Lisa"，I
was
absolutely
stunned．Believe
me，there
is
really
something
amazing
that
occurs
when
you
are
in
the
presence
of
this
painting．
Q：Why
did
you
choose
Shanghai
for
this
exhibition？
A：First，Shanghai
is
one
of
world
art
centers．In
addition，the
mission
of
the
foundation
is
to
show
the
painting
to
the
world．Therefore，we
decided
to
begin
its
Asian
tour
and
Shanghai
obviously
would
be
the
first
stop．
Q：Could
you
tell
me
more
details
about
the
security
for
the
painting？
A：I
can't
tell
you
a
lot．What
I
can
say
is
that
we
paid
huge
amounts
of
money
for
the
insurance
and
the
visitors
will
be
allowed
to
visit
the
painting
a
day．But

close
to
the

(C)
Like
a
lot
of
young
people.
Joanna
Rakoff
took
the
first
job
she
was
offered.
She
decided
to
work
at
one
of
New
York’s
oldest
literary
agencies.
Yet
she
had
no
idea
that
it
would
be
the
first
stepping
stone
on
the
way
to
becoming
a
writer,
and
later,
the
novelist
she
is
today.
In
the
face
of
the
ups
and
downs,
she
gave
it
her
all.
She
can
still
remember
that
her
boss
was
very
challenging.
“The
thing
that
worked
when
my
boss
was
being
difficult
was
remembering
it
wasn’t
personal.
Usually,
it’s
not
about
you,
it’s
them,”
she
advises
anyone
in
a
similar
situation.
Being
a
manager
and
editor
herself
later
in
her
career
also
helped
to
understand
what
happened
years
before.
“It’s
really
hard
managing
a
lot
of
people.
I
had
a
lot
more
sympathy
for
my
former
boss
after
that.
You
don’t
know
everything
that’s
going
on
with
them,
and
remember:
they’re
a
person,
too,”
she
says.
After
only
a
year,
Rakoff
realized
she
was
not
“an
agency
person”
as
her
manager
had
believed,
but
the
seed
had
been
planted.
She
left
with
dreams
of
becoming
a
writer
and
a
real
understanding
of
the
world
of
glossy
(亮丽光鲜的)
magazines.
Rakoff
rose
from
writing
magazine
articles
to
features
editor,
and
later
editor-in-chief.
Dreams
of
one
day
writing
fiction
remained.
“Writing
pieces
for
magazines
really
helped
me
to
become
an
author.
It
helped
make
writing
less
scary.
When
you
write
regularly
and
have
deadlines,
it
really
teaches
you
that
sometimes
you
have
to
sit
down
and
just
do
it,”
she
says.
With
all
the
pressure
on
young
people
these
days,
it
is
important
to
remember
you
don’t
have
to
be
in
the
perfect
job
right
away.
What’s
more,
you
don’t
need
to
know
what
you
want
to
be
or
do
for
a
career
as
soon
as
you
finish
high
school
or
college.
Rakoff
explains
how
many
of
her
very
successful
friends
found
different
paths
toward
becoming
fiction
writers.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
having
a
job
to
keep
you
busy
and
pay
the
bills
while
you
figure
out
your
passions,
she
says.

Rakoff

A.

better
opportunities.
B.
She

it

once

demanding.

work

agency
in
New
York.
D.
She

believing

her
future
success
37.

famous
for
its
oshiya---literally，"pusher"---who
shove

can
close．And

(A)
It
happened
two
years
ago.
It
was
Mother’s
Day
morning.
I
was
doing
my
shopping
at
our
local
supermarket
with
my
five-year-old
son
Tenyson.
As
we
were
leaving
,we
found
that
only?minutes
earlier
an
elderly
woman
had
fallen
over
at
the
entrance
and
had
hit
her
head
on
the
ground.
Her
husband
was
with
her
but
there
was?blood?everywhere
and
the
woman
was
embarrassed
and
clearly
in
shock.
Walking
towards
the
scene,
Tenyson
became
very
sad
about
what
had
happened
to
the
couple.
He
said
to
me
“Mum
it’s
not
much
fun
falling
over
in
front
of
everyone.”
At
the
front
of
the
supermarket
a
charity
group
had
set
up
a
stand
selling
fish
and
chips
and
flowers
to
raise
funds.
Tenyson
suggested
that
we
should
buy
the
lady
a
flower.?“It
will
make
her
feel
better
”?he
said.
I
was
amazed
that
he’d
come
up
with
such
a
sweet
idea.
So
we
went
over
to
the
flower
seller
and
asked
her
if
we
could?buy?a
flower
for
the
lady
to
cheer
her
up.
“Just
take
it
”
she
replied.
“I
can’t
take
your
money
for
such
a
wonderful
gesture.”
By
now
doctors
had
arrived
and
were
attending
the
injured
woman.
As
we
walked
up
to
her,
my
son
became?intimidated?by
all
the?blood?and
medical
equipment(器具).
He
said
he
was
just
too
scared
to
go
up
to
her.
Instead
I
gave
the
flower
to
the?woman’s
husband
and
told
him
“My
son
was?very
sad
for
your
wife
and
wanted
to
give
her
this?flower
to
make
her
feel
better.”
The
old
man
started
crying
and
said
“Thank
you
so
much，you
have
a
wonderful
son.
Happy
Mother’s
Day
to
you.”
The
man
then
bent
down
and
gave
his
wife
the
flower
telling?her?who
it
was
from.
Though
badly
hurt
and
shaken,
the
old
lady
looked
up
at
Tenyson
with
love
in
her
eyes
and
gave?him?a
little
smile.

"Mona
Lisa"
attracts
art
lovers
around
the
world．Do
you
know
Lenardo
da
Vinci
also
painted
an
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
before？It
will
be
exhibited
in
Shanghai
next
year．Joel
Feldman，the
general
secretary
of
the
Mona
Lisa
Foundation，accepted
an
interview
about
the
painting
and
the
organization
recently．
Q：How
was
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
discovered？
A：In
1913，Hugh
Blaker，a
manager
of
the
Holburne
Museum
in
England，found
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
and
brought
it
to
his
museum．A
year
later，the
painting
was
sent
to
the
US
for
publisher，bought
the
painting
and
kept
it
in
the
Bank
of
Swizerland．
Since
the
Mona
Lisa
Foundation
was
set
up
in
2008，we
have
done
lots
of
necessary
research
on
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
and
many
high
technologies
were
used．In
the
end，28
out
of
the
29
experts
believe
this
is
certainly
the
painting
created
by
Lenardo
da
vinci．
Q：Do
you
remember
the
feeling
when
you
first
saw
the
"Mona
Lisa"
painting
and
this
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"
painting？
A：I
first
saw
the
"Mona
Lisa"
in
the
Louvre
as
a
young
boy．Quite
honestly
I
was
disappointed
as
the
painting
looked
quite
small
and
dark．When
I
first
saw
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"，I
was
absolutely
stunned．Believe
me，there
is
really
something
amazing
that
occurs
when
you
are
in
the
presence
of
this
painting．
Q：Why
did
you
choose
Shanghai
for
this
exhibition？
A：First，Shanghai
is
one
of
world
art
centers．In
addition，the
mission
of
the
foundation
is
to
show
the
painting
to
the
world．Therefore，we
decided
to
begin
its
Asian
tour
and
Shanghai
obviously
would
be
the
first
stop．
Q：Could
you
tell
me
more
details
about
the
security
for
the
painting？
A：I
can't
tell
you
a
lot．What
I
can
say
is
that
we
paid
huge
amounts
of
money
for
the
insurance
and
the
visitors
will
be
allowed
to
visit
the
painting
a
day．But
visitors
will
be
able
to
come
quite
close
to
the
painting．
31．What
was
the
main
purpose
of
the
research？
A．To
learn
the
history
of
Leonardo
da
Vinci．
B．To
know
the
value
of
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa"．
C．To
find
out
who
painted
the
"Earlier
Mona
Lisa".
D．To
test
different
high
technologies．
32．The

closest
in
meaning
to"______".
A．surprised

passage？

section
B．Sports
section

section

section．
(C)
Like
a
lot
of
young
people.
Joanna
Rakoff
took
the
first
job
she
was
offered.
She
decided
to
work
at
one
of
New
York’s
oldest
literary
agencies.
Yet
she
had
no
idea
that
it
would
be
the
first
stepping
stone
on
the
way
to
becoming
a
writer,
and
later,
the
novelist
she
is
today.
In
the
face
of
the
ups
and
downs,
she
gave
it
her
all.
She
can
still
remember
that
her
boss
was
very
challenging.
“The
thing
that
worked
when
my
boss
was
being
difficult
was
remembering
it
wasn’t
personal.
Usually,
it’s
not
about
you,
it’s
them,”
she
advises
anyone
in
a
similar
situation.
Being
a
manager
and
editor
herself
later
in
her
career
also
helped
to
understand
what
happened
years
before.
“It’s
really
hard
managing
a
lot
of
people.
I
had
a
lot
more
sympathy
for
my
former
boss
after
that.
You
don’t
know
everything
that’s
going
on
with
them,
and
remember:
they’re
a
person,
too,”
she
says.
After
only
a
year,
Rakoff
realized
she
was
not
“an
agency
person”
as
her
manager
had
believed,
but
the
seed
had
been
planted.
She
left
with
dreams
of
becoming
a
writer
and
a
real
understanding
of
the
world
of
glossy
(亮丽光鲜的)
magazines.
Rakoff
rose
from
writing
magazine
articles
to
features
editor,
and
later
editor-in-chief.
Dreams
of
one
day
writing
fiction
remained.
“Writing
pieces
for
magazines
really
helped
me
to
become
an
author.
It
helped
make
writing
less
scary.
When
you
write
regularly
and
have
deadlines,
it
really
teaches
you
that
sometimes
you
have
to
sit
down
and
just
do
it,”
she
says.
With
all
the
pressure
on
young
people
these
days,
it
is
important
to
remember
you
don’t
have
to
be
in
the
perfect
job
right
away.
What’s
more,
you
don’t
need
to
know
what
you
want
to
be
or
do
for
a
career
as
soon
as
you
finish
high
school
or
college.
Rakoff
explains
how
many
of
her
very
successful
friends
found
different
paths
toward
becoming
fiction
writers.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
having
a
job
to
keep
you
busy
and
pay
the
bills
while
you
figure
out
your
passions,
she
says.
36.
What
did
Joanna
Rakoff
do
when
she
was
offered
the
first
job?
A.
She
gave
it
up
to
seek
for
some
better
opportunities.
B.
She
left
it
at
once
because
the
boss
was
too
demanding.
C.
She
agreed
to
work
for
the
old
literacy
agency
in
New
York.
D.
She
accepted
it
believing
it
would
lead
to
her
future
success
37.
How
could
Rakoff
understand
her
boss
in
the
literary
agency?
A.
She
thought
her
boss
was
under
great
pressure.
B.
She
believed
her
boss
expected
her
to
work
better.
C.
She
knew
her
colleagues
were
doing
well
enough.
D.
She
became
a
manager
and
editor
herself
later
on.
