A
People
are
so
busy
these
days
that
many
people
have
no
time
to
cook.
This
becomes
a
problem,
because
most
families
love
home
cooking!
The
food
tastes
good
and
warm,
and
a
family
meal
brings
everyone
together.
In
some
families,
meals
are
often
the
only
times
everyone
sees
one
another
at
the
same
time.
Another
reason
people
enjoy
home
cooking
is
that
it
is
often
a
way
of
showing
love.
A
parent
who
makes
some
cookies
is
not
just
satisfying
a
child’s
sweet
teeth.
She
or
he
is
sending
a
message.
The
message
says,
“I
care
about
you
enough
to
spend
an
hour
making
cookies
that
you
will
eat
up
in
15
minutes
if
I
let
you.
”
There
is
also
something
about
the
smell
of
home
cooking.
The
smell
of
home
cooking
pleases
people
of
all
ages.
It
makes
most
of
us
feel
good
and
loved,
even
if
we
are
the
ones
doing
the
cooking!
Next
time
you
smell
a
cake
making,
stop
for
a
moment
and
pay
attention
to
your
mood(心情).
【语篇概述】本文讲述了人们很喜欢家常饭菜的原因。因为家里做的饭菜代表着美味、温暖、爱心,

【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据上下文句意:

孩子喜欢甜食,
这还给孩子传递一个信息……,
答案选B。
B
“Father
Christmas”(or“Santa
Claus”)has
become
the
human
face
of
Christmas.
Pictures
will
be
seen
everywhere
of
the
old
man
with
long
white
beard,
red
coat,
and
bag
of
toys.
Children
are
taught
that
he
brings
them
presents
the
night
before
Christmas,
and
many
children
up
to
the
age
of
7
or
8
really
believe
this
is
true.
In
most
countries,
it
is
said
that
he
lives
near
the
North
Pole,
and
arrives
through
the
sky
on
a
sledge(snow
cart)pulled
by
reindeer(驯鹿).
He
comes
into
houses
down
the
chimney
at
midnight
and
places
presents
for
the
children
in
socks
or
bags
by
their
beds
or
in
front
of
the
family
Christmas
tree.
In
shops
or
at
children’s
parties,
someone
will
dress
up
as
Father
Christmas
and
give
small
presents
to
children,
or
ask
them
what
gifts
they
want
for
Christmas.
Christmas
can
be
a
time
of
magic
and
excitement
for
children.
Father
Christmas
is
based
on
a
real
person,
St.
Nicholas,
which
explains
his
other
name“Santa
Claus”which
comes
from
the
Dutch“Sinterklaas”.
Nicholas
was
a
Christian
leader
from
Myra(in
modern?day
Turkey)in
the
4th
century
AD.
He
was
very
shy,
and
wanted
to
give
money
to
poor
people
without
them
knowing
about
it.
It
is
said
that
one
day,
he
climbed
the
roof
of
a
house
and
dropped
a
purse
of
money
down
the
chimney.
It
landed
in
the
stocking
which
a
girl
had
hung
on
by
the
fire!
This
may
explain
the
Father
Christmas
comes
down
the
chimney
and
places
gifts
in
children’s
stockings.

阅读填句
根据短文内容,
从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Making
friends
is
a
skill
like
most
skills.
It
improves
with
practice.
If
you
want
to
meet
people
and
make
friends,
you
must
be
willing
to
take
some
action.
You
must
first
go
where
there
are
people.
1
Joining
a
club
or
a
group,
talking
with
those
who
like
the
same
things
as
you
do
is
much
easier.
Or
join
someone
in
some
activity.
2 After
all
meeting
strangers
means
facing
the
unknown.
And
it’s
human
nature
to
feel
a
bit
uncomfortable
about
the
unknown.
Most
of
our
fears
about
dealing
with
new
people
come
from
doubts
about
ourselves.
We
imagine
other
people
are
judging
us,
finding
us
too
tall
or
too
short,
too
this
or
too
that.
3 Try
to
accept
yourself
as
you
are,
and
try
to
put
the
other
person
at
ease.
You’ll
both
feel
more
comfortable.
Try
to
act
self-confident
even
if
you
don’t
feel
that
way.
When
you
enter
a
room
full
of
strangers,
such
as
a
new
classroom,
walk
tall
and
straight,
look
directly
at
other
people
and
smile,
and
say
something.
4
Just
meeting
someone
new
does
not
mean
that
you
will
make
friends
with
that
person—friendship
is
based
on
mutual(相互的)liking
and“give
and
take”.
5
A.
Don’t
wait
for
the
other
person
to
start
a
conversation.
B.
But
don’t
forget
that
they
must
be
feeling
the
same
way.
C.
You
won’t
make
friends
staying
at
home
alone.
D.
It
depends
on
one’s
character
to
make
good
friends.
E.
It
takes
time
and
effort
to
develop.
F.
Many
people
are
nervous
when
talking
to
new
people.
G.
I’m
a
shy
person
and
it
is
very
difficult
for
me
to
make
friends
with
other
people.
答案:
1～5.

阅读理解
A
It
was
Saturday
night
in
London.
I
was
waiting
to
catch
the
bus
home
with
my
friend
Laura.
I
was
dressed
as
the
cartoon
character
the
Pink
Panther,
complete
with
pink
cat
ears
attached
to
a
hairband,
a
pink
tail
made
of
a
long
piece
of
pink
cloth,
and
whiskers(猫须)drawn
on
my
face.
Laura
was
dressed
as
a
cat.
It
was,
of
course,
Halloween(万圣节),
and
we
had
been
at
a
Halloween
party.
The
night
of
October
31
is
a
perfect
excuse
to
dress
up
in
silly
costumes
and
have
a
scary
party.
Traditionally
it
was“All
Souls’Day”,
when
the
ghosts
of
the
dead
rose
from
their
graves.
In
the
UK,
however,
it
also
means
the
end
of
British
Summer
Time.
All
the
clocks
are
put
back
one
hour
on
the
last
Saturday
of
October.
You
wake
up
on
Sunday
morning
thinking
that
it
is
8
am,
and
then
remember
with
relief
that
you
actually
have
another
hour
in
bed.
The
trouble
is,
the
buses
had
not
changed
their
timetables.
The
night
bus
drivers
were
still
operating
according
to
their
original(原来的)hours.
However,
the
day
bus
drivers
had
already
put
their
watches
back,
and
were
looking
forward
to
that
extra
hour
in
bed.
So
Laura
and
I
waited
and
waited
and
waited.
People
who
went
past
stared,
laughed,
or
made
funny
comments—“Someone
locks
the
cat
out
of
the
house
tonight?
”or“Who
lets
the
cat
out
of
the
bag?
”
Finally
the
bus
came—three
hours
later.
By
that
time
we
had
made
friends
with
local
shop
owners
as
they
opened
for
morning
business,
as
well
as
with
a
friendly
tramp(流浪汉)sitting
on
the
street
with
his
dog.
Halloween
may
be
a
party
night—just
don’t
forget
the
practicalities(实际情况)when
you’re
in

really
scary.

【解析】选A。主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出,
文章主要讲述作者在万圣节之夜的经历,
故A项最能概括本文主旨。
B
It
is
said
that
the
custom
of
eating
Yuanxiao
originated
during
the
Eastern
Jin
Dynasty
in
the
fourth
century,
then
became
popular
during
the
Tang
and
Song
periods.
The
fillings
inside
the
dumplings
or
Yuanxiao
are
either
sweet
or
salty.
Sweet
fillings
are
made
of
sugar,
walnuts,
sesame(芝麻),
osmanthus
flowers(桂花),
rose
petals,
sweetened
tangerine(橘子)peel,
bean
paste,
or
jujube
paste(枣酱).
A
single
ingredient
or
any
combination
can
be
used
as
the
filling.
The
salty
variety
is
filled
with
minced
meat(肉末儿),
vegetables
or
a
mixture.
The
way
to
make
Yuanxiao
also
varies
between
northern
and
southern
China.
The
usual
method
followed
in
southern
provinces
is
to
shape
the
dough
of
rice
flour
into
balls,
make
a
hole,
insert
the
filling,
then
close
the
hole
and
smooth
out
the
dumpling
by
rolling
it
between
your
hands.
In
North
China,
sweet
or
nut-meat
stuffing
is
the
usual
ingredient.
The
fillings
are
pressed
into
hardened
cores,
dipped
lightly
in
water
and
rolled
in
a
flat
basket
containing
dry
glutinous
rice
flour.
A
layer
of
the
flour
sticks
to
the
filling,
which
is
then
again
dipped
in
water
and
rolled
a
second
time
in
the
rice
flour.
And
so
it
goes,
like
rolling
a
snowball,
until
the
dumpling
is
the
desired
size.
The
custom
of
eating
Yuanxiao
dumplings
remains.
This
tradition
encourages
both
old
and
new
stores
to
promote
their
Yuanxiao
products.
They
all
try
their
best
to
improve
the
taste
and
quality
of
the
dumplings
to
attract
more
customers.

完形填空
When
I
was
in
primary
school,
I
got
into
a
major
argument
with
a
boy
in
my
class.
I
can’t 1 what
it
was
about,
but
I
have
never
forgotten
the 2 I
learned
that
day.
I
was 3 that
I
was
right
and
he
was
wrong—and
he
was
sure
that
I
was
wrong
and
he
was
right.
The 4 decided
to
teach
us
a
very
important
lesson.
She
5 both
of
us
up
to
the 6 of
the
class
and 7 him
on
one
side
of
her
desk
and
me
on 8 .
In
the
middle
of
her
desk
was
a
large,
round
object.
I
could 9 see
that
it
was
black.
She
asked
the
boy
what 10 the
object
was.
“White,
”he
answered.
I
couldn’t
believe
he
said
the
object
was
white,
11 it
was
obviously
black!
Another 12 started
between
my
classmate
and
me,
this 13 about
the
color
of
the
object.
The
teacher
told
me
to
go
to
stand
where
the
boy
was
standing
and
told
him
to
come
to
stand
where
I
had
been.
We
changed 14 ,
and
now
she
asked
me
what
the
color
of
the
object
was.
I 15 answer,
“White.
”It
was
an
object
with
two 16 colored
sides,
and
from
his
side
it
was
white.
17 from
my
side
was
the
color
black.
My
teacher
taught
me
a
very
important
lesson
that
day:
You
must 18 in
the
other
person’s
shoes
and
look
at
the 19 through
their
eyes
in
order
to 20 understand
their
view.

Today
is
Sunday.
I’ve
been
in
Russia
for
two
months.
This
is
the
first
time
that
I’ve
been
away
my
family
for
such
a
long
time.
With
the
help
of
Katia,
a
roommate
of
me,
I’ve
soon
got
used
to
live
without
my
parents
around.
Katia,
like
many
other
Russian
girls,
are
nice
and
lively.
We
became
friends
shortly
after
we
met
each
other.
Although
her
English
is
a
little
hardly
to
understand,
we
enjoy
chatting
and
we
usually
talk
a
lot
about
our
own
family.
We’re
both
surprising
that
Chinese
culture
and
Russian
culture
were
so
different.
Now,
we
are
planning
a
small
party
for
the
next
Sunday.
There,
Katia
will
introduce
me
to
some
of
her
friends,
one
of
who
has
been
to
China
several
times.
I
just
can’t
wait.
答案:
1.
【解析】第三句中的away后加from。be
away
from意为“离开……”。
2.
【解析】第四句中的me→mine。a
roommate
of
mine是固定结构,
介词of后应该使用名词所有格形式或名词性物主代词。
3.
【解析】第四句中的live→living。get
used
to意为“习惯于……”,
其中to是介词,
后跟-ing形式或名词、代词。
4.
【解析】第五句中的are→is。本句中的主语是Katia,
故用单数谓语动词is。
5.
【解析】第七句中的hardly→hard。此处意思是“尽管她的英语有点难懂”,
hardly是副词,
意为“几乎不”,
hard是形容词,
意为“难的”。
6.
【解析】第七句中的family→families。此处应该用名词复数,
表示“我”和Katia的两个家庭。
7.
【解析】第八句中的surprising→surprised。此处应该表示人感到“惊讶的”,
而surprising表示“令人惊讶的”。
8.
【解析】第八句中的were→are。通读全文可知,
此处应该用一般现在时,
表示客观情况。
9.
【解析】第九句中的the去掉。next
Sunday是固定用法,
无需再使用定冠词the。
10.
【解析】第十句中的who→whom。此句是非限制性定语从句,
先行词是friends,
在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,
故关系代词使用宾格whom。

A
Carnival(狂欢节)does
not
take
place
only
in
Louisiana.
There
are
many
celebrations
around
the
world.
In
Brazil,
the
celebration
is
supposed
to
go
on
from
the
Saturday
before
Mardi
Gras(大斋节前的最后一天)to
Mardi
Gras
Day,
but
in
some
Brazilian
cities
the
celebration
can
last
seven
or
eight
days.
Just
like
New
Orleans,
not
many
important
things
are
decided
in
Brazil
from
New
Year’s
Day
to
Mardi
Gras
Day
because
everyone
is
preparing
for
or
celebrating
carnival.
Most
Brazilian
parades
have
a
subject,
which
could
be
political
or
historical.
The
parades
had
to
have
a
subject
related
to
Brazil
until
1996.
Some
cities
in
Brazil
do
not
have
a
street
carnival,
but
they
might
have
an
indoor
party.
Bolivia
has
carnival
parades
for
children
and
then
more
parades
for
adults.
The
children
dress
up
in
costumes
and
march
in
the
streets.
The
adults
make
traditional
dance
groups
and
dance
in
the
streets.
But
the
main
part
of
Bolivia’s
carnival
is
getting
wet.
Almost
everyone
gets
wet
from
water
balloons
and
water
buckets.
In
Oruru,
Bolivia,
their
carnival
is
held
in
the
last
ten
days
of
the
carnival
season.
People
there
join
in
dancing,
but
their
main
carnival
event
is
a
ceremonial
parade
that
lasts
for
twenty
hours
and
parades
for
four
kilometers.
Over
20,
000
dancers
are
involved
as
well
as
10,
000
musicians.
This
parade
attracts
at
least
400,
000
people.
The
carnival
in
Venice,
Italy
is
often
regarded
as
the
most
carefully
prepared
carnival
and
lasts
ten
days
before
Lent(大斋节).
Many
events
are
held
in
the
canals
including
shows,
concerts,
dances
and
water
processions(队列).
The
official
ending
to
the
celebration
is
the
party
held
in
St.
Mark’s
Square.

B
“When
your
mother
scolds
you,
you
can
look
elsewhere
and
think
about
other
things.
Just
ignore
her
words.
But
remember:
such
a
tough
attitude
cannot
be
used
often.
”
These
words
are
from
a
series
of
cartoons
which
outline
skills
for
children
to
fight
against
their
mothers.
The
images
have
created
heated
debate
among
Chinese
netizens.
Considered
as“a
book
for
children
aged
6
to
12
who
are
always
scolded
by
their
parents”,
the
cartoons,
drawn
by
two
10-year-old
Beijing
girls,
list
over
20
skills
which
children
can
use
to
deal
with
their
mothers’
anger
such
as
crying,
pretending
to
be
ashamed,
fleeing
into
the
washroom
and
pleasing
her
afterwards.
Each
skill
is
described
with
vivid
pictures
and
humorous
notes.
The
creativity
of
the
young
girls
has
amazed
netizens,
the
Yangtse
Evening
Post
reported
on
Thursday.
According
to
one
of
the
girls’
mothers,
her
daughter
once
received
a
poor
mark
in
an
exam,
and
the
mother
blamed
her
and
compared
her
performance
with
another
classmate’s.
The
daughter’s
feelings
led
to
her
creating
the
cartoons.
The
girl’s
father,
who
first
posted
the
pictures
on
his
Sohu
Microblog
on
Monday,
said
he
hopes
parents
pay
attention
to
the
pictures,
allow
children
to
feel
free
to
develop
their
own
characteristics(品性)and
try
not
to
criticize
them
so
often.
“The
cartoons,
although
maybe
an
individual
case(个例),
show
a
modern
phenomenon(现象)and
some
of
the
problems
within
Chinese
family
education,
”said
Yu
Qinfang,
an
expert
on
family
education
in
Shanghai.
Not
giving
children
enough
time
and
hurrying
them
to
do
thing
seems
to
be
a
very
tiny
detail
within
family
life,
but
it
is
potentially(潜在地)a
huge
problem
which
can
easily
be
ignored
by
parents,
said
Yu.
A
mother’s
blame
may
lead
to
negative
feelings
within
her
child’s
heart,
Yu
said,
parents
should
learn
to
blame
less
and
be
more
patient.

been
sad
because
of
failure?
Please
remember,
for
often,
achieving
what
you
set
out
to
do
is
not
the
most
important
thing.
A
boy
decided
to
dig
a
deep
hole
behind
his
house.
As
he
was
working,
a
couple
of
older
boys
stopped
by
to
watch.
“What
are
you
doing?
”asked
one
of
the
visitors.
“I
want
to
dig
a
hole
all
the
way
through
the
earth!
”the
boy
answered
excitedly.
The
older
boys
began
to
laugh,
telling
him
that
digging
a
hole
all
the
way
through
the
earth
was
impossible.
After
a
while,
the
boy
picked
up
a
jar.
He
showed
it
to
the
visitors.
It
was
full
of
all
kinds
of
stones
and
insects.
Then
he
said
calmly
and
confidently,
“Maybe
I
can’t
finish
digging
all
the
way
through
the
earth,
but
look
at
what
I’ve
found
during
this
period!
”
The
boy’s
goal
was
far
too
difficult,
but
it
did
cause
him
to
go
on.
And
that
is
what
a
goal
is
for-to
cause
us
to
move
in
the
direction
we
have
chosen,
in
other
words,
to
cause
us
to
keep
working!
Not
every
goal
will
be
fully
achieved.
Not
every
job
will
end
up
with
a
success.
Not
every
dream
will
come
true.
But
when
you
fall
short
of
your
aim,
maybe
you
can
say,
“Yes,
but
look
at
what
I’ve
found
along
the
way!
There
are
so
many
wonderful
things
having
come
into
my
life
because
I
tried
to
do
something!
”It
is
in
the
digging
that
life
is
lived.
It
is
the
unexpected
joy
on
the
journey
that
really
makes
sense.

阅读理解
A
After
living
in
the
United
States
for
quite
a
long
time,
I
do
not
think
about
the
cultural
differences
any
more.
Last
month,
my
parents
came
to
visit
me.
Their
observations(观察)on
the
American
lifestyle
reminded
me
that
cultural
differences
between
living
in
China
and
America
are
actually
everywhere.
When
my
parents
came
to
America,
they
praised
my
house.
Everyone
had
his
/
her
own
bedroom;
there
was
a
front
yard,
a
backyard
and
a
garage;
there
were
many
bathrooms—all
convenient
and
comfortable.
However,
they
were
not
used
to
the
glass
doors
at
the
first
floor.
My
mom,
from
southern
China,
was
worried
that
someone
would
break
open
the
glass
doors.
Though
I
said
that
nobody
would
do
that,
she
was
still
worried
about
it.
When
I
brought
them
to
eat
in
fast
food
restaurants,
whether
it
was
at
McDonald’s
or
KFC,
they
saw
that
refilling
drink
was
for
free.
This
concept(观念)of
free
refills
was
so
new
to
them.
A
Chinese
friend
told
me
a
story.
He
and
his
American
girlfriend
ate
at
a
restaurant.
His
girlfriend
wanted
to
drink
English
tea.
He
was
curious,
so
he
tried
some
and
found
that
it
didn’t
taste
bad
with
milk
and
sugar
in
it.
Adding
more
water
to
tea
is
free
of
course,
so
he
drank
more
cups.
His
girlfriend
found
it
embarrassing
and
explained
to
him
that
what
he
was
doing
was
not
exactly
fair.
If
he
wanted
to
drink
more
tea,
he
should
buy
another
cup.
My
friend
thought
that
Americans
could
take
advantage
of
the
free
refills,
but
only
a
few
of
them
did
that.
After
staying
in
America
for
some
time,
he
changed
that
habit.
【语篇概述】作者通过身边的一些实例,

We
can
infer
that
the
writer .
A.
doesn’t
like
American
culture
B.
has
got
used
to
her
life

C.
received
an
American
education
as
a

D.
thinks

Chinese
cultures

living
in
the
United
States

quite
a
long
time,
I
do
not
think
about
the
cultural
differences

可推断作者已经习惯了在美国的生活。
2.
What
made
the
writer’s
parents
worried?
A.
Someone
would
break
into
the
house.
B.
Someone
would
bump

doors.
C.
They
wouldn’t
have
a
bedroom
of
their
own.
D.
They
wouldn’t
live
comfortably

【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段的My
mom,
from
southern
China,
was
worried
that
someone
would
break
open
the
glass
doors.
可知作者的母亲担心有人会破门而入,
闯入她女儿的房子里。

When
eating
at
McDonald’s
for
the
first
time
in
America,
the
writer’s
parents
were
probably
surprised
that .
A.
there
were
so
many

B.
the
prices
for
food
were
so
low
C.
they
could
refill
drinks
for

could
get
extra
food
for
free
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段的This
concept
of
free
refills
was
so
new
to
them.
可推断作者的父母第一次在麦当劳吃饭时,
知道可以免费续杯应该很惊讶。
4.
The
American
girl
mentioned
in
the
last
paragraph
thought
that .
A.
Americans
like
taking
advantage
of
other
people
B.

boyfriend
wouldn’t
like
traditional

tea
C.
drinking
too
much
English
tea
harmed
people’s
health
D.
her
boyfriend
shouldn’t
take
advantage
of
the
free
refills
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据末段的His
girlfriend
found
it
embarrassing
and
explained
to
him
that
what
he
was
doing
was
not
exactly
fair.
If
he
wanted
to
drink
more
tea,
he
should
buy
another
cup.
可知那个美国女孩认为她男朋友不应该贪这种便宜。
B
Many
of
us
have
read
stories
or
seen
films
about
space-creatures.
They
come
to
the
Earth
in
spaceships
that
look
like
flying
saucers.
These
space-creatures
do
not
look
like
human
beings
at
all,
but
they
are
usually
very
clever.
In
one
film,
they
were
tiny
little
men
with
large
heads.
When
they
landed
on
the
Earth,
they
knew
exactly
what
to
do.
They
went
straight
to
the
President’s
palace
and
made
him
their
prisoner!
The
stories
about
space-creatures
are,
of
course,
not
true.
Space-creatures
exist
only
in
storybooks
and
films,
just
like
giants
and
fairies.
But
many
scientists
are
asking
this
question—“Is
there
life
on
other
planets?
”There
are
millions
of
planets
in
the
universe,
and
the
Earth
is
just
one
of
them.
Could
there
be
living
things
on
other
planets?
Many
people
believe
that
other
planets
in
the
universe
are
most
suitable
for
living
things.
Are
scientists
sure
that
there
is
no
life
on
other
planets?
At
this
stage
we
still
cannot
be
sure.
All
the
planets,
except
the
moon
and
Mars,
are
so
far
away
that
it
will
take
hundreds
of
years
for
our
spaceships
to
reach
them.
【语篇概述】我们都听说过太空生物,
这些故事是真是假?
目前科学家们对此还难以确定。

Which
of
the
following

A.
The

C.
Space-creatures

D.

【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段的开头明确指出,
外太空有生命的故事并不真实(The

are,
of
course,
not
true.
)。
8.
In
the
passage
the
underlined
word“straight”means .
A.
upright
B.
slowly
C.
directly
D.
honestly
【解析】选C。词义理解题。第一段倒数第二句说太空生物“knew
exactly
what
to
do”,
接着提到他们到总统的府邸把总统变成他们的囚徒,
由此推断straight带有“不假思索、毫不犹豫”的含义。directly意为“直接地,
径直地”,
与straight最为接近。

A
The
little
town
of
Half
Moon
Bay
has
become
the
pumpkin
capital
of
California.
Each
year
about
6,
000
tons
of
this
unusual
fruit
are
raised
and
shipped
as
far
as
Hawaii
and
the
east
coast
of
the
United
States.
Yet
pumpkins
were
first
grown
in
the
town
only
in
1934,
when
a
nine-year-old
boy
planted
a
few
seeds
and
grew
a
crop
of
his
own.
Now
they
are
such
big
business
that
Half
Moon
Bay
holds
a
pumpkin
festival
in
fall
every
year
and
there
are
more
than
10,
000
visitors.
Farmers
work
all
summer
to
try
to
grow
the
biggest
pumpkins
in
the
world,
and
thousands
of
visitors
come
to
help
harvest
them.
The
festival
is
held
at
the
same
time
with
Halloween
at
the
end
of
October.
Children
all
over
the
country
make
Jack-O’-lanterns(南瓜灯)out
of
pumpkins
by
emptying
them,
carving
faces
in
them
and
putting
candles
inside.
The
insides
of
the
pumpkins
can
then
be
used
to
make
delicious
pies.
The

pumpkins
long

375
students
aged
from
10
to
18
in
seven
Chinese
cities
found
that
38
per
cent
of
them
believe
they
use
the
Internet
often.
While
most
of
them
get
useful
information
and
use
the
Internet
to
help
in
their
studies,
some
are
not
using
it
in
a
good
way.
Many
are
playing
online
games
too
much.
A
few
even
visit
Web
sites
they

A
middle
school
teacher
from
Beijing
warns
that
bad
things
can
happen
if
young
people
spend
too
much
time
on
the
Internet.
She
had
a

then
he
started
visiting
sex
Web
sites.
He
went
mad,

In
order
to
help
young
people
use
the
Internet
in
a
good
way,
a
textbook
on
good
Internet
behavior
has
started
to
be
used
in
some
Shanghai
middle
schools
this
term.
The
book
uses
real
examples
to
teach

all
about
good
ways
of

the
Internet.
The
book
gives
useful
advice
such
as
it’s
good
to
read
news
or
find
helpful
information
to
study.
Some
students
also
make
online
friends.
But
if
you
are
meeting
a
friend
offline,
make
sure
your
parents
know.
Teachers
and
parents
all
think
the
book
is
a
very
good
idea.
This
teacher
said
the
book
will
be
a
guide
for
teens
using
the
Internet.
She
believes
it
will
keep
students
away
from
bad
sites.
“Many

阅读填句
根据短文内容,
从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We
often
focus
on
building
relationships
with
others
that
we
forget
the
essential
first
step:
being
friends
of
ourselves.
1 .
How
can
we
have
good
relationships
with
others
if
we
don’t
even
have
good
relationships
with
ourselves?
The
problem
might
be
worse
than
we
expect.
Maybe
we
don’t
like
ourselves
without
realizing
it.
Here
is
a
simple
checklist:
Is
there
anything
you
don’t
like
about
yourself
from
these
lists?
Your
past:
Maybe
you
have
made
mistakes
in
the
past
which
you
feel
bad
about.
2 .
Even
if
that
happened
in
distant
past,
your
subconscious
mind
still
has
a
reason
not
to
like
yourself.
Your
background:
You
might
wish
that
you
were
born
in
a
different
family,
or
that
you
have
a
different
background.
3 .
They
seem
to
get
whatever
they
want
without
working
hard
because
of
their
background.
Your
personality
traits(特点):
You
might
have
some
personality
traits
that
you
don’t
like.
For
example,
you
may
be
an
introvert(内向的人)and
you
don’t
like
it;
you
wish
you
were
an
extrovert.
Others
might
have
better
achievements
than
you,
and
no
matter
how
hard
you
tried,
it
might
seem
impossible
for
you
to
match
them.
4 .
Is
there
anything
that
resonates(引起共鸣)with
you?
All
these
give
reasons
to
you
not
to
like
yourself.
That
in
turn
makes
it
difficult
for
you
to
be
a
good
friend
to
yourself.
5 .
Here
are
some
tips:
?Forgive
yourself
?Accept
things
you
can’t
change
?Focus
on
your
strengths
?Write
your
success
stories
?Stop
comparing
yourself
with
others
?Always
be
true
to
yourself
A.
You
can
do
something
to
improve
the
relationships
with
others.
B.
You
might
then
think
that
it’s
because
you
are
not
smart
enough
or
don’t
have
enough
talents.
C.
That
is
the
first
step
if
we
are
to
have
good
relationships
with
others.
D.
Fortunately,
there
are
always
things
you
can
do
to
fix
the
situation.
E.
You
might
be
disappointed
with
yourself
on

Celebration
课时巩固提升
When
my
first
wartime
Christmas
came,
I
was
in
basic
training
in
New
Jersey
and
not
sure
if
I
would
make
it
home
for
the
holiday.
Only
on
the
afternoon
of
December
23
was
the
list
of
men
who
would
have
the
three-day
holiday
posted.
I
was
one
of
the
lucky
soldiers.
It
was
Christmas
Eve
when
I
arrived
home,
and
a
little
snow
had
fallen.
Mother
opened
the
front
door.
I
could
see
beyond
her,
into
the
corner
of
the
living
room
where
the
tree
had
always
stood.
There
were
lights,
colors,
and
ornaments(饰品)shining
against
the
green
of
a
pine.
“Where
did
it
come
from?
”I
asked.
“I
asked
the
Gates
boy
to
cut
it,
”my
mother
said.
“I
wouldn’t
have
had
one
just
for
myself,
but
when
in
great
need.
.
.
such
a
rush!
He
just
brought
it
in
this
afternoon.
”
The
pine
reached
to
the
proper
height,
almost
to
the
ceiling,
and
the
Tree
Top
Crystal(水晶)Star
was
in
its
place.
A
few
green
branches
reached
out
a
little
terribly
at
the
side,
I
thought,
and
there
was
a
bit
of
bare
trunk
showing
in
the
middle.
But
the
tree
filled
the
room
with
warm
light
and
the
whole
house
with
the
pleasant
smell
of
Christmas.
“It’s
not
like
the
one
you
used
to
find,
”my
mother
went
on.
“Yours
were
always
in
good
shape.
I
suppose
the
Gates
boy
didn’t
know
where
to
look
for
a
better
one.
But
I
couldn’t
be
fussy(挑剔的).
”
“Don’t
worry,
”I
told
her.
“It’s
perfect.
”
It
wasn’t,
of
course,
but
at
the
moment
I
realized
something
for
the
first
time:
All
Christmas
trees
are
perfect.
