二、阅读理解
A
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack(缝隙) in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned(提及) it, I suddenly became more aware.I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly(不自觉地) cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young，the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize(批评) one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it抯 a delicacy, and it抯 connected to their culture. I think it抯 a wonderful tradition.
What did the writer become aware of?
She had ever typed a report about seeds.
She had various snacks while watching TV.
She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
Children can eat delicious food on that day.
The families get together for it.
Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ????????.
A．acceptable B．critical C．neutral D．doubtful
What lesson can we learn from the story?
One kind of food doesn抰 necessarily suit everyone.
Eating habits come from a certain culture.
It is good to form healthy eating habits.
Changing your eating habits will change your life.
B
Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.
The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill(国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.
Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa抯 high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core. The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.
The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canada抯 premier art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.
The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning, the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures undamaged. The locks on the system open for navigation in mid?May and close in mid?October.
The underlined word “iteration” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”.

a number of apartments and hotels
the older single family homes and townhouses

Do you think Great Britain and the United States are alike? Winston Churchill once joked that the people of Britain and the people of America are separated(分离) only by their language. Do you think that is true? The British and the Americans both speak English as the official language. However, each uses some different words. We Americans are similar to the British. After all, our country was once owned by Great Britain, so we have a lot in common. But there are many differences between us.
Great Britain has a king or queen, and the leader of the government is the Prime Minister. The United States has no kings or queens. Our leader is the President.
Both the British and Americans use pounds and ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Both use miles, yards and feet. Our money is different, though. The British use pounds and pence. Americans use dollars and cents.
Driving in a car is very different in England. They drive on the left side of the road. We drive on the right. What we call the hood of the car, the British call the 揵onnet. British cars run on 損etrol, which we call gasoline.
In our everyday lives, we do many of the same things as the British. But we describe them differently. A young mother here might push a baby in a baby carriage. A British mom pushes a pram. The British watch the 搕elly, while we watch TV. We like to eat French fries, but the British call them 揷hips. Millions of Americans drink coffee, but most British prefer tea.
So we are different in many ways. But we stay friendly anyway.
Winston Churchill抯 words mean that ____________.
Britain and the US are very similar
the people of Britain and the US are friendly
the languages of Britain and the US are the same
there are many differences between Britain and the US
30. Which of the following is used by the British?

A
【答案】本文讲述了直到作者的英国朋友提到中国人都爱嗑瓜子，作者才意识到自己也有这个习惯。作者把这个习惯归结于中国春节文化，就像丹麦人吃面包喜欢加咸红鱼，每一个饮食习惯都有自己特定的文化。
C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯。
D推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知新年的时候会有很多美食，一些是供给祖先的，还有一些，其中含有瓜子，是给邻居和小孩在晚宴前吃的，作者因此学会了嗑瓜子，可见作者嗑瓜子和春节有关联。
A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包的方式是一个很美妙的传统，可见作者接受这种吃法。
B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy，and it’s connected to their culture.”可知，丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的，这和他们的文化有关，正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和中国的春节文化有关。因此饮食习惯来自特定的文化。
B
【答案】文章描写了加拿大渥太华著名的几处地方，并分别对这几处地方进行了详细的说明。
C 解析：词义猜测题。从第二段The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916可知，现如今的中央街区是重新翻修的，以前的那一座在1916年的大火中被毁坏了。所以iteration的意思相当于copy，复制品。故选C。
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Most of the buildings are office towers．While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core．可知在渥太华的市中心都是办公大楼，而且主要是高科技行业的办公大楼。
C 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的The Gallery has a large and varied．．．Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists．可知，主要收藏的是各种各样的画以及雕像、照片。它主要是收藏加拿大人的艺术作品，同时也收藏一些著名的美国人和欧洲人的作品，故选C。

C

推理判断题。根据第一段Winston Churchill once joked that the people of Britain and the people of America are separated(分离) only by their language.（温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经开玩笑说，英国人民和美国人民之间的唯一区别就是他们的语言。）由此可以推断出，温斯顿·丘吉尔的话意味着英国和美国非常相似，故选A。
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段A British mom pushes a “pram”.可知英国人使用“Pram”，故选B。
主旨大意题。最后一段So we are different in many ways.是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了英国和美国之间的差异，所以这篇文章最好的题目是“英国和美国之间的差异”故选D。
三、七选五
【答案】32-36 AFEGB
【分析】文章介绍了英国的有关情况，包括人口、语言、人们对音乐的热爱、受欢迎的运动、食物等。
该段主题是英国的官方语言；此题线索是代词指代和词汇复现。选项A意思为：英国的官方语言是英语。空后一句提到“现在在全世界有上十亿的人说英语”，it指代选项A中的English；下文的“language”“speak English”和选项A中的English是词汇复现。故选A项。
此题是逻辑线索。选项F意思为：这就是为什么英语中有很多法语词汇和表达法。空前一句提到“在1066年到1362年之间，法语是英国的官方语言”是说明原因；选项F中this is why表示结果。两个句子之间是因果关系。故选F项。
该段主题是英国人对音乐的热爱。此题线索是词汇复现。选项E意思为：在夏天你可以去全国各地的音乐节。下文中的“a five-day festival of music…”和“the festivals”和选项E中的music festivals 是词汇复现。选E项。
该段的主题是英国最受欢迎的运动。该段首句提到 “在英国最受欢迎的运动是足球、橄榄球和板球”；选项G意思为：像曼联、切尔西和利物浦这样的英国足球队是世界闻名的。选项G是说明英国足球的影响，是对首句的进一步说明。故选G项。
该段主题是英国是一个多文化的国家；选项B意思为：这对人们所吃的食物有很大的影响。下文提到的“Indian, Chinese and Italian foods …Traditional English food…”都是谈论英国的食物，是顺承选项B的话题，其中food是词汇复现。故选B项。
四、语法填空
【分析】文章主要介绍了美国的Moon Day，它的历史以及庆祝方式。
考查定语从句。___ ___ happened on July 20, 1969.是一个限定性定语从句，修饰先行词human landing on the moon，关系词在从句中作主语，指物,因为landing前面有序数词the first修饰，此处不能用which，只能用that引导。故填that。
考查动词的时态和语态。前面的Ever since说明此句要用完成时态，Moon Day和celebrate之间是一种被动关系，因此用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been celebrated。
考查形容词最高级。根据前面的one of the...可知，此处用形容词great的最高级，表示“最伟大的成就之一”。故填greatest。
考查副词。此处用large的副词形式修饰谓语动词celebrate。故填largely。
考查冠词。句意：这个国家的各地都组织了各种各样的活动来纪念这一重要事件。根据上文的in the United States可知，此处用the country特指美国。故填the。
考查介词。句意：每个人都可以用自己的方式来庆祝中秋节。in one’s own way意为“用某人自己的方式”。故填in。
考查代词。此处用them作cut的宾语，指代前面提到的cookies。故填them。
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，你可以考虑了解一些关于月球的事实。consider“考虑”后面接v.-ing形式，意为“考虑做某事”。故填learning。
考查非谓语动词。此处是句型It be+adj. to do sth.“做某事是怎么样的。”本句话用it作形式主语，所以后面用不定式作真正的主语。故填to educate。
考查名词。根据前面的定冠词the及空后of可知，此处用名词importance作understand的宾语。故填importance。
五、短文改错
【分析】本文主要介绍联合王国的构成，以及爱尔兰南部地区不愿意并脱离爱尔兰，成立了自己的政府。值得赞扬的是，两国确实在货币、国际关系等方面进行了合作，但它们仍有很大的不同。
【详解】
1.考查固定短语。句意：联合王国由英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰组成。固定短语consist of“由……组成”，故with改为of。
2.考查固定短语。句意：英格兰是最大的，为了方便起见，它大致分为三个区。固定短语for convenience“为方便起见”，中间不需要冠词，故去掉the。
3.考查连词。句意：伦敦是国家政府的中心，拥有精美的博物馆、艺术收藏品和最古老的港口。结合语境可知上下文为并列关系应用and，故or改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：在二十世纪早期，英国政府试图通过使爱尔兰在没有冲突的情况下建立联合王国。by为介词后跟动名词做宾语，故get改为getting。
5.考查连词。句意：然而，爱尔兰南部地区不愿意并脱离爱尔兰，成立了自己的政府。根据上下文语境可知此处表示转折应用however。故Therefore改为However。
6.考查动词时态。句意同上。结合上文the southern part of Ireland was unwilling可知应用一般过去时，故break改为broke。
7.考查代词。句意：值得赞扬的是，两国确实在货币、国际关系等方面进行了合作，但它们的制度仍然非常不同。结合下文they still have very different institution可知此处应用they的形容词性物主代词，故its改为their。
8.考查名词的数。句意同上。institution为可数名词，前面没有冠词修饰应用复数形式，故institution改为institutions。
9.考查固定句式。句意：遗憾的是，英国的工业城市没有吸引游客。固定句式it is a pity that…“遗憾的是……”，故pity后加that。
10.考查形容词。句意：人们可以去罗马人建造的更古老但更小的城镇，欣赏历史建筑，也可以去乡村欣赏美丽的风景。architecture为名词需要形容词修饰，故historically改为historical。
六、书面表达
【范文】
Dear Tom,

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, which falls on the fifteenth day of the lunar August, usually in September or October.

二、阅读理解
A
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack(缝隙) in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned(提及) it, I suddenly became more aware.I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly(不自觉地) cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young，the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize(批评) one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it抯 a delicacy, and it抯 connected to their culture. I think it抯 a wonderful tradition.
What did the writer become aware of?
She had ever typed a report about seeds.
She had various snacks while watching TV.
She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
Children can eat delicious food on that day.
The families get together for it.
Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ????????.
A．acceptable B．critical C．neutral D．doubtful
What lesson can we learn from the story?
One kind of food doesn抰 necessarily suit everyone.
Eating habits come from a certain culture.
It is good to form healthy eating habits.
Changing your eating habits will change your life.

Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.
The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill(国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.
Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa抯 high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core. The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.
The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canada抯 premier art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.
The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning, the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures undamaged. The locks on the system open for navigation in mid?May and close in mid?October.

Do you think Great Britain and the United States are alike? Winston Churchill once joked that the people of Britain and the people of America are separated(分离) only by their language. Do you think that is true? The British and the Americans both speak English as the official language. However, each uses some different words. We Americans are similar to the British. After all, our country was once owned by Great Britain, so we have a lot in common. But there are many differences between us.
Great Britain has a king or queen, and the leader of the government is the Prime Minister. The United States has no kings or queens. Our leader is the President.
Both the British and Americans use pounds and ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Both use miles, yards and feet. Our money is different, though. The British use pounds and pence. Americans use dollars and cents.
Driving in a car is very different in England. They drive on the left side of the road. We drive on the right. What we call the hood of the car, the British call the 揵onnet. British cars run on 損etrol, which we call gasoline.
In our everyday lives, we do many of the same things as the British. But we describe them differently. A young mother here might push a baby in a baby carriage. A British mom pushes a pram. The British watch the 搕elly, while we watch TV. We like to eat French fries, but the British call them 揷hips. Millions of Americans drink coffee, but most British prefer tea.
So we are different in many ways. But we stay friendly anyway.
Winston Churchill抯 words mean that ____________.
Britain and the US are very similar
the people of Britain and the US are friendly
the languages of Britain and the US are the same
there are many differences between Britain and the US

【答案】本文讲述了直到作者的英国朋友提到中国人都爱嗑瓜子，作者才意识到自己也有这个习惯。作者把这个习惯归结于中国春节文化，就像丹麦人吃面包喜欢加咸红鱼，每一个饮食习惯都有自己特定的文化。
C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯。
D推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知新年的时候会有很多美食，一些是供给祖先的，还有一些，其中含有瓜子，是给邻居和小孩在晚宴前吃的，作者因此学会了嗑瓜子，可见作者嗑瓜子和春节有关联。
A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包的方式是一个很美妙的传统，可见作者接受这种吃法。
B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy，and it’s connected to their culture.”可知，丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的，这和他们的文化有关，正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和中国的春节文化有关。因此饮食习惯来自特定的文化。

B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Most of the buildings are office towers．While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core．可知在渥太华的市中心都是办公大楼，而且主要是高科技行业的办公大楼。

三、七选五
【答案】32-36 AFEGB
【分析】文章介绍了英国的有关情况，包括人口、语言、人们对音乐的热爱、受欢迎的运动、食物等。
该段主题是英国的官方语言；此题线索是代词指代和词汇复现。选项A意思为：英国的官方语言是英语。空后一句提到“现在在全世界有上十亿的人说英语”，it指代选项A中的English；下文的“language”“speak English”和选项A中的English是词汇复现。故选A项。
此题是逻辑线索。选项F意思为：这就是为什么英语中有很多法语词汇和表达法。空前一句提到“在1066年到1362年之间，法语是英国的官方语言”是说明原因；选项F中this is why表示结果。两个句子之间是因果关系。故选F项。
该段主题是英国人对音乐的热爱。此题线索是词汇复现。选项E意思为：在夏天你可以去全国各地的音乐节。下文中的“a five-day festival of music…”和“the festivals”和选项E中的music festivals 是词汇复现。选E项。
该段的主题是英国最受欢迎的运动。该段首句提到 “在英国最受欢迎的运动是足球、橄榄球和板球”；选项G意思为：像曼联、切尔西和利物浦这样的英国足球队是世界闻名的。选项G是说明英国足球的影响，是对首句的进一步说明。故选G项。

四、语法填空
【分析】文章主要介绍了美国的Moon Day，它的历史以及庆祝方式。
考查定语从句。___ ___ happened on July 20, 1969.是一个限定性定语从句，修饰先行词human landing on the moon，关系词在从句中作主语，指物,因为landing前面有序数词the first修饰，此处不能用which，只能用that引导。故填that。
考查动词的时态和语态。前面的Ever since说明此句要用完成时态，Moon Day和celebrate之间是一种被动关系，因此用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been celebrated。
考查形容词最高级。根据前面的one of the...可知，此处用形容词great的最高级，表示“最伟大的成就之一”。故填greatest。
考查副词。此处用large的副词形式修饰谓语动词celebrate。故填largely。
考查冠词。句意：这个国家的各地都组织了各种各样的活动来纪念这一重要事件。根据上文的in the United States可知，此处用the country特指美国。故填the。
考查介词。句意：每个人都可以用自己的方式来庆祝中秋节。in one’s own way意为“用某人自己的方式”。故填in。
考查代词。此处用them作cut的宾语，指代前面提到的cookies。故填them。
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，你可以考虑了解一些关于月球的事实。consider“考虑”后面接v.-ing形式，意为“考虑做某事”。故填learning。
考查非谓语动词。此处是句型It be+adj. to do sth.“做某事是怎么样的。”本句话用it作形式主语，所以后面用不定式作真正的主语。故填to educate。
考查名词。根据前面的定冠词the及空后of可知，此处用名词importance作understand的宾语。故填importance。
五、短文改错
【分析】本文主要介绍联合王国的构成，以及爱尔兰南部地区不愿意并脱离爱尔兰，成立了自己的政府。值得赞扬的是，两国确实在货币、国际关系等方面进行了合作，但它们仍有很大的不同。
【详解】
1.考查固定短语。句意：联合王国由英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰组成。固定短语consist of“由……组成”，故with改为of。
2.考查固定短语。句意：英格兰是最大的，为了方便起见，它大致分为三个区。固定短语for convenience“为方便起见”，中间不需要冠词，故去掉the。
3.考查连词。句意：伦敦是国家政府的中心，拥有精美的博物馆、艺术收藏品和最古老的港口。结合语境可知上下文为并列关系应用and，故or改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：在二十世纪早期，英国政府试图通过使爱尔兰在没有冲突的情况下建立联合王国。by为介词后跟动名词做宾语，故get改为getting。
5.考查连词。句意：然而，爱尔兰南部地区不愿意并脱离爱尔兰，成立了自己的政府。根据上下文语境可知此处表示转折应用however。故Therefore改为However。
6.考查动词时态。句意同上。结合上文the southern part of Ireland was unwilling可知应用一般过去时，故break改为broke。
7.考查代词。句意：值得赞扬的是，两国确实在货币、国际关系等方面进行了合作，但它们的制度仍然非常不同。结合下文they still have very different institution可知此处应用they的形容词性物主代词，故its改为their。
8.考查名词的数。句意同上。institution为可数名词，前面没有冠词修饰应用复数形式，故institution改为institutions。
9.考查固定句式。句意：遗憾的是，英国的工业城市没有吸引游客。固定句式it is a pity that…“遗憾的是……”，故pity后加that。
10.考查形容词。句意：人们可以去罗马人建造的更古老但更小的城镇，欣赏历史建筑，也可以去乡村欣赏美丽的风景。architecture为名词需要形容词修饰，故historically改为historical。
六、书面表达
【范文】
