Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet. Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.
What makes Bibimbap festival special?
A. They take four days to celebrate it.
B. The mixed rice is rich in many vegetables.
C. There’s music, entertainment and magic during the festival.
D. The rice dish needs to be mixed in one big bowl by dozens of chefs together.
22. What do we know about Waikiki Spam Jam ?
A. People spend one day to prepare the Jam.
B. The spam is the most favorite for Hawii people.
C. The Jam isn’t affordable for the plain townsfolk.
D. The Jam is mainly made from raw beef.
23. If you have time in August, you can go to ______.

To Rehan Staton, his childhood was a life of privilege―loving parents, a supportive big brother and a pleasant, private school education. Everything changed when his mother left the country and his father lost his job.
He had to sleep with a heavy jacket on when it was cold. He was always hungry. He said he couldn’t concentrate at school and would sleep during class. He went from straight-As to near the bottom of his class. A teacher told him he needed special education, which made him hate school.
Staton spent his high school years as an excellent athlete, training to become a professional boxer. He had won a lot of martial arts competitions. But a tragedy struck him in his senior year when Staton suffered serious tendonitis(肌腱炎) in both shoulders. He couldn’t lift either arm for months. His dream of becoming a professional player failed. He struggled to apply to colleges but was refused by all of them.
Staton’s body slowly recovered from martial arts and he got a job as a rubbish collector. Many co-workers couldn’t help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? You’re smart. You are too young to be here. Go to college.” It was the first time someone outside his family had spoken highly of his intelligence. It was the co-workers that emboldened him to return to school.
Several co-workers put Staton in touch with a professor at Bowie State University. The professor was impressed with their conversation and persuaded the admissions board to change its former decision.
Going to college forced Staton’s older brother, Reggie, to drop out. They both knew someone had to be working full time along with their dad. It was a decision Reggie made on his own.
After receiving a 4.0, Staton succeeded in becoming a student at the University of Maryland. But he still had a long way to go to attend Harvard Law eventually...
24. What finally changed Rehan Staton’s happy childhood?
A. His brother’s losing the job. B. His serious health problem.
C. His father’s sudden death. D. His mother’s leaving the country.
25. What does the underlined word “emboldened” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Force. B. Direct. C. Encourage. D. Accompany.
26. Why did Staton’s elder brother have to drop out of school?
A. He wanted his brother to study further. B. His father asked him to leave school.
C. He had lost interest in most lessons. D. He had to go out to find his mother.
27. What will the writer mainly talk about next?
A.What Rehan Staton planned to do after entering Harvard.
B. How Rehan Staton managed to be admitted to Harvard.
C. Why Rehan Staton decided to choose to go to Harvard.
D. When Rehan Staton would be successful in Harvard Law.
C
Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese?style spelling bee (拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母). The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six?year?olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up." says the teacher.
28. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It draws great public attention across the country.
B. It's the most?viewed TV programs in the world.
C. It means to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D. It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
29.Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A .Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
B .Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C .Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D .Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
30. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ____________.
A .necessary for adults to survive in Chin.
B .a requirement made by the Education Ministry.
C .helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive.
D .an ability to be developed only when you are students.
31.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science report. B. A news report. C. Children’s literature. D. An advertisement.
D
Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody? Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you? New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应) after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay - even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better - even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”
32. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection?
A. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
B. Because they think it is more polite.
C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
33. In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people __________.
A. rejected others without an apology
B. offered an apology when rejecting others
C. were asked to answer the question in different situations
D. would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
34. What role does an apology play in rejection?
A. It makes the rejection more acceptable.
B. It makes a good impression on the listener.
C. It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
D. It makes the communication more pleasant.
35. What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph?
A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.
B. Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.
C. The difference between a social situation and a business one.
D. A rejection with an apology in a business situation.
三、 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Do you have a place you’ve always wanted to visit? If the answer is yes, have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?
36 Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhood, most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous. The thought of going on a trip alone excites and terrifies them at the same time. Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures.
It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone. 37 For example, being alone on the road, you might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go. If you join a tour halfway, you may be asked why you don’t have friends or family around. 38
First, traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying about others’ needs and wants. If you want, you can read on a bench beside a river for the whole afternoon without being disturbed (打扰). You are free to walk around on different streets. 39 You can also remove that dull daily routine (常规) that always makes you feel tired.
If you make good use of it, traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, as you’ll finally have time to think about your life.
40 All you need to do is to pack your bags, take your passport, gather up your courage and go somewhere. Go out and enjoy being alone, explore the unknown, make some friends, read a book, and get to know more about yourself and the world.
A. Traveling by yourself is also quite easy.
B. You can go to shopping malls and explore the city.
C. For many people, traveling alone can be frightening.
D. There are also some unpleasant moments one might run into.
E. It is important to take some time off and think about the methods.
F. But anyhow, I still suggest that you travel alone at least once in your life.
G. Traveling alone helps us figure out what we really want to fight for in this big world.

C篇解析
本文是一篇新闻报道，主题语境是人与社会。作者通过介绍一个汉字拼写大赛的相关情况谈到了汉字拼写的现状。
28.C细节理解题。结合第一段中的“ Every week in China， millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete …”可知C选项 It draws great public attention across the country.(它引起了全国公众的极大关注)符合题意。
29.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It＇s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.”可知，中国人正在忘记如何写汉字是因为手机和电脑上的软件依据拉丁字母的拼写而提供汉字选择表，人们不需要用手书写。故选C项。
30 .A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture，’she answered‘Students must learn now so they won＇t forget when they grow up ’said the teacher.＂可知，书写汉字的能力是中国传统和文化的一部分，学生现在必须学会，否则长大了就会忘记，故选A项
31.B推理判断题。本文由汉字拼写大赛的情况，谈到中国汉字拼写的现状，再提及文化传承的希望，由此可推断本文来自一篇新闻报道。故选B。
【重点词汇】
competitor n.竟争者 along with除…以外(还)
D篇解析：
本文是一篇说明文。文章在开头通过问题:你有没有遇到过必须对某人说不出如有个同学约你起吃饭?引出研究结论:新的研究表明，至少在社交方面，拒绝的时候不用夹帯句道歉换句话说，说句对不起并不能让被拒绝的人感觉更好受点。事实上这可能会使被拒绝者感觉更槽。
32.细节理解题。结合文章第一段最后句: Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.(很多人认为在拒绝某个请求时表示抱歉是有礼貌。)故:选择B项
33.细节理解题。结合第二段第二句: For her research， she asked over1，000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection.(在她的研究中，她了1000多人，来回应不同的社会排斥的例子。)可知，选项C和文章意思一数。第二段第五句: In some cases the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.(在一些情况下，拒绝泰勒的人说对不起)可知B项是错误;第一段第六句: In other cases， the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.(在其他情况下，拒绝的人并没有说对不起。)可知，选项A错误。第一段最后 wit: People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down， just as Taylor was Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.(人们被问到，如果他们像泰勒样被拒绝，他们会有什么感觉?大多数表示，与拒绝不道歉相比，他们会被拒绝加道歉伤得更深。)可知，选项D错误。故:选择C项
34.细节理解题。结合文章倒数第段的最后一句: Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better-even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.(弗雷曼还表示，道通常让拒绝者感觉更好过，即使这会让被拒绝者感觉更槽。)可知，选项C:这会让拒绝的人感觉更好。和文章的意义一致。故:选择C项。
35.推理判断题。结合最后段的表达: Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. ＂If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job， ＂Freedman said. reactions to apologies may be different.＂(她的研究只涉及社交互动。商务场合可能会有很大不同。弗雷曼表示，如果一位经理拒绝一位求职者，或是一位老板必须要开除名员工，对道歉的反应可能会有所不同。)可以推断出，在接下来的表达中将会涉及商务场合。故:选择D项

完形填空
41--?55???? BCBBC AABCA BCDBC
41．B?看到儿子病重，家里又花光了钱，因此母亲伤心，选 “眼含泪水的” 符合逻辑。
42．C?从储蓄罐里把零花钱 “倾倒” 出来符合语境。
43．B? make one’s way to... “向……走去”。
44．B弟弟病重，因此是头里长了 “坏的”东西。Extra “额外的”，不符合小孩的语言特点和认知水平。
45．C?药店里是 “卖” 药，而不是卖 “奇迹”。
46．A?由语境可知，药剂师了解小女孩弟弟的情况，温柔可亲地回答小女孩，故选A
47．A?下文有提示，这儿刚刚出现这位 “穿着体面的” 顾客，不能马上断定他是 “好心的”，故不选B。
48．B?这位顾客不明白小女孩的弟弟需要什么样的奇迹，故有此问。
49．C?前面出现了小女孩的弟弟头中长了 “坏” 东西的信息，后面有提示，因此小女孩知道需要 “手术” 才能救弟弟的命。A项 “医生” 太笼统，B项 “外科医生”，概念太专业，超出了小女孩的认知水平。
50．A?从后面这位顾客问小女孩有多少钱，可得出答案，小女孩告诉对方把自己所有的 “积蓄” 都带来了。
51．B?此处这位顾客了解了小女孩的用意，故幽默地说：1美元11分钱 “正好” 是买一个奇迹的钱，说明这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟。
52．C?这位顾客要到小女孩 “带”他去她家里去。
53．D?这位顾客要去“见见”小女孩的父母，以便进一步了解情况。
54．B?说明Dr Carlton Armstrong富有爱心，无偿地为小女孩的弟弟做了手术，因此是没有收费。其他选项不合题意。
54．C?小女孩的弟弟不久就回了家痊愈了，注意此选项与后面doing well的并列关系，其他三个选项与doing well在意义上重复。

Dear Jack
How are you doing? Knowing that you are a lover of Chinese painting, I am writing to tell you something about the Chinese painting exhibition held in our school.
As scheduled, the event took place on April 20th in our school hall. Some experts were present and gave lectures of some well-known artists, through which we had a good understanding of the Chinese painting. Some paintings made by students were on display, which was a feat for us. Every student present could feel the beauty of the Chinese painting, benefiting a lot from the activity. Had you attended, you would certainly know more about Chinese art.
Hopefully, you can join us next year.
Yours

Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet. Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.
What makes Bibimbap festival special?
A. They take four days to celebrate it.
B. The mixed rice is rich in many vegetables.
C. There’s music, entertainment and magic during the festival.
D. The rice dish needs to be mixed in one big bowl by dozens of chefs together.
22. What do we know about Waikiki Spam Jam ?
A. People spend one day to prepare the Jam.
B. The spam is the most favorite for Hawii people.
C. The Jam isn’t affordable for the plain townsfolk.
D. The Jam is mainly made from raw beef.
23. If you have time in August, you can go to ______.

To Rehan Staton, his childhood was a life of privilege―loving parents, a supportive big brother and a pleasant, private school education. Everything changed when his mother left the country and his father lost his job.
He had to sleep with a heavy jacket on when it was cold. He was always hungry. He said he couldn’t concentrate at school and would sleep during class. He went from straight-As to near the bottom of his class. A teacher told him he needed special education, which made him hate school.
Staton spent his high school years as an excellent athlete, training to become a professional boxer. He had won a lot of martial arts competitions. But a tragedy struck him in his senior year when Staton suffered serious tendonitis(肌腱炎) in both shoulders. He couldn’t lift either arm for months. His dream of becoming a professional player failed. He struggled to apply to colleges but was refused by all of them.
Staton’s body slowly recovered from martial arts and he got a job as a rubbish collector. Many co-workers couldn’t help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? You’re smart. You are too young to be here. Go to college.” It was the first time someone outside his family had spoken highly of his intelligence. It was the co-workers that emboldened him to return to school.
Several co-workers put Staton in touch with a professor at Bowie State University. The professor was impressed with their conversation and persuaded the admissions board to change its former decision.
Going to college forced Staton’s older brother, Reggie, to drop out. They both knew someone had to be working full time along with their dad. It was a decision Reggie made on his own.
After receiving a 4.0, Staton succeeded in becoming a student at the University of Maryland. But he still had a long way to go to attend Harvard Law eventually...
24. What finally changed Rehan Staton’s happy childhood?
A. His brother’s losing the job. B. His serious health problem.
C. His father’s sudden death. D. His mother’s leaving the country.
25. What does the underlined word “emboldened” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Force. B. Direct. C. Encourage. D. Accompany.
26. Why did Staton’s elder brother have to drop out of school?
A. He wanted his brother to study further. B. His father asked him to leave school.
C. He had lost interest in most lessons. D. He had to go out to find his mother.
27. What will the writer mainly talk about next?
A.What Rehan Staton planned to do after entering Harvard.
B. How Rehan Staton managed to be admitted to Harvard.
C. Why Rehan Staton decided to choose to go to Harvard.
D. When Rehan Staton would be successful in Harvard Law.

Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese?style spelling bee (拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母). The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six?year?olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up." says the teacher.
28. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It draws great public attention across the country.
B. It's the most?viewed TV programs in the world.
C. It means to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D. It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
29.Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A .Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
B .Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C .Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D .Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
30. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ____________.
A .necessary for adults to survive in Chin.
B .a requirement made by the Education Ministry.
C .helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive.
D .an ability to be developed only when you are students.
31.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science report. B. A news report. C. Children’s literature. D. An advertisement.
D
Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody? Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you? New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应) after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay - even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better - even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”
32. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection?
A. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
B. Because they think it is more polite.
C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
33. In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people __________.
A. rejected others without an apology
B. offered an apology when rejecting others
C. were asked to answer the question in different situations
D. would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
34. What role does an apology play in rejection?
A. It makes the rejection more acceptable.
B. It makes a good impression on the listener.
C. It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
D. It makes the communication more pleasant.
35. What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph?
A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.
B. Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.
C. The difference between a social situation and a business one.
D. A rejection with an apology in a business situation.

Do you have a place you’ve always wanted to visit? If the answer is yes, have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?
36 Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhood, most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous. The thought of going on a trip alone excites and terrifies them at the same time. Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures.
It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone. 37 For example, being alone on the road, you might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go. If you join a tour halfway, you may be asked why you don’t have friends or family around. 38
First, traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying about others’ needs and wants. If you want, you can read on a bench beside a river for the whole afternoon without being disturbed (打扰). You are free to walk around on different streets. 39 You can also remove that dull daily routine (常规) that always makes you feel tired.
If you make good use of it, traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, as you’ll finally have time to think about your life.
40 All you need to do is to pack your bags, take your passport, gather up your courage and go somewhere. Go out and enjoy being alone, explore the unknown, make some friends, read a book, and get to know more about yourself and the world.
A. Traveling by yourself is also quite easy.
B. You can go to shopping malls and explore the city.
C. For many people, traveling alone can be frightening.
D. There are also some unpleasant moments one might run into.
E. It is important to take some time off and think about the methods.
F. But anyhow, I still suggest that you travel alone at least once in your life.
G. Traveling alone helps us figure out what we really want to fight for in this big world.

D篇解析：
本文是一篇说明文。文章在开头通过问题:你有没有遇到过必须对某人说不出如有个同学约你起吃饭?引出研究结论:新的研究表明，至少在社交方面，拒绝的时候不用夹帯句道歉换句话说，说句对不起并不能让被拒绝的人感觉更好受点。事实上这可能会使被拒绝者感觉更槽。
32.细节理解题。结合文章第一段最后句: Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.(很多人认为在拒绝某个请求时表示抱歉是有礼貌。)故:选择B项
33.细节理解题。结合第二段第二句: For her research， she asked over1，000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection.(在她的研究中，她了1000多人，来回应不同的社会排斥的例子。)可知，选项C和文章意思一数。第二段第五句: In some cases the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.(在一些情况下，拒绝泰勒的人说对不起)可知B项是错误;第一段第六句: In other cases， the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.(在其他情况下，拒绝的人并没有说对不起。)可知，选项A错误。第一段最后 wit: People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down， just as Taylor was Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.(人们被问到，如果他们像泰勒样被拒绝，他们会有什么感觉?大多数表示，与拒绝不道歉相比，他们会被拒绝加道歉伤得更深。)可知，选项D错误。故:选择C项
34.细节理解题。结合文章倒数第段的最后一句: Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better-even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.(弗雷曼还表示，道通常让拒绝者感觉更好过，即使这会让被拒绝者感觉更槽。)可知，选项C:这会让拒绝的人感觉更好。和文章的意义一致。故:选择C项。
35.推理判断题。结合最后段的表达: Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. ＂If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job， ＂Freedman said. reactions to apologies may be different.＂(她的研究只涉及社交互动。商务场合可能会有很大不同。弗雷曼表示，如果一位经理拒绝一位求职者，或是一位老板必须要开除名员工，对道歉的反应可能会有所不同。)可以推断出，在接下来的表达中将会涉及商务场合。故:选择D项

41．B?看到儿子病重，家里又花光了钱，因此母亲伤心，选 “眼含泪水的” 符合逻辑。
42．C?从储蓄罐里把零花钱 “倾倒” 出来符合语境。
43．B? make one’s way to... “向……走去”。

46．A?由语境可知，药剂师了解小女孩弟弟的情况，温柔可亲地回答小女孩，故选A
47．A?下文有提示，这儿刚刚出现这位 “穿着体面的” 顾客，不能马上断定他是 “好心的”，故不选B。
48．B?这位顾客不明白小女孩的弟弟需要什么样的奇迹，故有此问。
49．C?前面出现了小女孩的弟弟头中长了 “坏” 东西的信息，后面有提示，因此小女孩知道需要 “手术” 才能救弟弟的命。A项 “医生” 太笼统，B项 “外科医生”，概念太专业，超出了小女孩的认知水平。
50．A?从后面这位顾客问小女孩有多少钱，可得出答案，小女孩告诉对方把自己所有的 “积蓄” 都带来了。
51．B?此处这位顾客了解了小女孩的用意，故幽默地说：1美元11分钱 “正好” 是买一个奇迹的钱，说明这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟。
52．C?这位顾客要到小女孩 “带”他去她家里去。
53．D?这位顾客要去“见见”小女孩的父母，以便进一步了解情况。
54．B?说明Dr Carlton Armstrong富有爱心，无偿地为小女孩的弟弟做了手术，因此是没有收费。其他选项不合题意。

Dear Jack
How are you doing? Knowing that you are a lover of Chinese painting, I am writing to tell you something about the Chinese painting exhibition held in our school.
As scheduled, the event took place on April 20th in our school hall. Some experts were present and gave lectures of some well-known artists, through which we had a good understanding of the Chinese painting. Some paintings made by students were on display, which was a feat for us. Every student present could feel the beauty of the Chinese painting, benefiting a lot from the activity. Had you attended, you would certainly know more about Chinese art.
Hopefully, you can join us next year.
