Ⅲ.阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项(共26分,每小题2分)
A
Once
upon
a
time
there
was
no
tea
at
all
in
England.
People
there
used
to
drink
a
light
beer(啤酒).
No
coffee
or
milk
but
large
glasses
of
beer
stood
on
the
breakfast
table!
When
tea
was
first
brought
to
England,
an
old
couple
got
some
as
a
special
treat.
But
they
did
not
know
how
it
should
be
used.
They
cooked
the
leaves
in
hot
water,
and
spread
them
on
a
piece
of
bacon(熏肉)
which
they
were
going
to
have
for
dinner.
They
ate
the
leaves,
and
threw
the
tea
away!
However,
tea
is
becoming
as
popular
as
coffee
and
milk
in
England
today.
Tea
is
the
leaf
of
a
plant
which
grows
widely
in
China,
Japan
and
some
other
countries.
Tea
farmers
usually
grow
many
tea
plants
on
a
large
piece
of
land.
When
the
tea
leaves
are
ready
to
be
picked,
it
is
the
busiest
time
for
tea
farmers
in
a
year.
They
pull
off
the
leaves
and
dry
them.
In
their
spare
time,
they
pick
out
the
best
leaves
and
get
them
ready
for
the
market.
In
China,
whenever
a
visitor
comes
into
a
house,
he
is
served
with
a
cup
of
tea.
(　　)21.What
was
served
for
breakfast
in
England
long
ago?
A.Beer.
B.Tea.
C.Coffee.
D.Milk.
(　　)22.What
did
the
old
couple
do
with
the
tea
leaves?
A.They
sold
them.
B.They
ate
them.
C.They
burnt
them.
D.They
threw
them
away.
(　　)23.It
is
the
busiest
time
for
tea
farmers
in
a
year
when
they
　　　　.?
A.serve
visitors
at
home
B.sell
tea
in
the
market
C.pick
and
dry
tea
leaves
D.look
for
a
piece
of
land
B
Do
you
know
when
restaurants
were
invented?
The
first
restaurants
were
invented
thousands
of
years
ago.
However,
they
were
very
different
from
the
restaurants
today.
The
first
restaurants
were
in
ancient
Greece
and
ancient
Rome.
These
restaurants
served
food
in
large
stone
bowls.
People
didn’t
order
food
from
a
menu.
Everyone
used
to
share
the
food
from
big
bowls.
People
believe
that
these
places
were
very
popular
because
most
homes
in
ancient
Greece
and
ancient
Rome
didn’t
have
kitchens.
Also,
people
didn’t
have
to
store
food
at
home
if
they
ate
their
meals
at
these
restaurants.
Later,
restaurants
began
to
open
in
China.
In
the
early
1100s,
more
than
1
million
people
lived
in
the
city
of
Hangzhou,
China.
It
was
a
very
busy
city,
and
people
had
money.
All
of
these
people
had
to
eat.
Smart
cooks
started
cooking
and
selling
food
along
very
big
streets
in
the
city.
Unlike
in
ancient
Greece
and
ancient
Rome,
people
in
China
could
choose
food
from
a
menu.
They
didn’t
have
to
eat
the
same
food
as
everyone
else.
For
the
next
several
centuries,
there
were
restaurants
all
over
the
world.
People
could
buy
food
on
the
street
or
at
inns—small
hotels.
Then
in
the
middle
of
the
1700s,
restaurants
started
opening
in
Paris.
These
restaurants
were
more
similar
to
the
restaurants
we
know
today.
There
was
a
bigger
variety
of
food,
and
eating
in
these
restaurants
was
a
more
enjoyable
experience.
In
the
19th
century,
trains
made
travel
much
faster
and
simpler.
In
the
end,
this
kind
of
restaurant
began
to
appear
all
over
Europe
and
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
Now,
restaurants
are
everywhere.
You
can
buy
different
kinds
of
food.
You
can
have
food
sent
to
your
door.
(　　)24.It
is
believed
that
the
first
restaurants
were
popular
because
　　　　.?
A.people
could
eat
different
food
B.the
food
there
was
very
cheap
C.people
were
too
busy
to
cook
D.most
homes
didn’t
have
kitchens
(　　)25.How
were
the
restaurants
in
Hangzhou
different
from
the
first
restaurants?
A.They
offered
menus
to
customers.
B.They
usually
served
the
same
food.
C.They
sold
the
food
in
large
stone
bowls.
D.They
prepared
food
for
all
people
in
the
city.
(　　)26.The
writer
wrote
this
passage
to
　　　　.?
A.help
us
choose
restaurants
B.tell
us
the
history
of
restaurants
C.encourage
us
to
eat
at
restaurants
D.show
us
the
changes
of
eating
habits

As
we
all
know,
the
ocean
moves.
But
waves(波浪)
breaking
on
the
beach
make
the
ocean
fun.
When
you
stand
on
the
shore(海岸)
and
look
at
the
waves,
it
seems
like
the
water
is
rolling(翻滚)
in
toward
you.
But
the
water
is
not
really
moving
forward.
What
you
see
moving
is
wave
energy.
And
wave
energy
comes
from
the
wind.
Let’s
think
about
how
this
works.
As
wave
energy
passes
through
the
water,
the
energy
makes
particles(微粒)
of
water
move
up
and
down.
Just
give
you
an
example
of
a
wave
passing
under
a
basketball.
We
put
a
basketball
on
the
sea.
When
the
wind
blows,
a
wave
comes
from
behind
the
basketball.
The
basketball
moves
up
to
the
top
with
the
wave.
Then
the
wave
continues
and
leaves
the
basketball
behind.
The
basketball
looks
lower,
but
it
doesn’t
move
forward.
That’s
because
the
wave
energy
moves
the
water
that
is
under
the
basketball
up
and
down
as
it
passes.
So,
why
can
you
see
a
wave
knock
you
down
on
the
shore?
When
a
wave
moves
toward
the
shore,
the
bottom
of
the
wave
slows
down
because
it
meets
the
ocean
floor.
But
the
top,
which
is
called
the
crest,
keeps
moving.
The
different
action
causes
the
wave
to
fall
over
or
break
onto
the
shore.
If
a
wave
is
very
large,
it
carries
a
lot
of
energy
when
it
hits
the
land.
As
time
goes
by,
waves
can
break
up
and
carry
away
the
rocks
and
other
things
on
the
shore.
Shorelines(海岸线)
are
changing
all
the
time
because
of
wave
action.
(　　)27.　　　　　
is/are
really
moving
forward
when
you
look
at
the
waves.?
A.
Water
B.
Wave
energy
C.
Water
and
wave
energy
D.
The
shore
(　　)28.The
underlined
word
“crest”
in
the
passage
means
“　　　　”
in
Chinese.?
A.
波峰
B.
波谷
C.
波长
D.
波浪
(　　)29.Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.
Wave
energy
comes
from
the
wind.
B.
All
the
waves
can
carry
a
lot
of
energy
when
they
hit
the
land.
C.
Wave
action
makes
shorelines
change
all
the
time.
D.
As
wave
energy
passes
through
the
water,
the
energy
makes
particles
of
water
move
up
and
down.
D
If
you’re
ever
apart
from
your
children,
a
new
study
says
just
talking
on
the
phone
will
help
just
as
much
as
a
hug(拥抱).
If
you’re
a
parent
who
spends
long
hours
on
the
job,
you
probably
feel
sorry
for
spending
so
much
time
away
from
your
kids.
But
the
results
of
a
new
study
show
that
a
mother’s
voice
alone
can
be
just
as
comforting
to
an
anxious
child
as
physical
contact(接触).
In
an
experiment,
researchers
from
the
University
of
Wisconsin
Madison
asked
a
group
of
girls
between
the
ages
of
7
and
12
to
solve
maths
problems
in
front
of
judges—a
stressful
situation
for
anyone.
Before
the
girls
were
set
to
give
their
answers,
the
researchers
measured
their
levels
of
two
hormones(荷尔蒙):
cortisol,
which
goes
up
during
stressful
periods,
and
oxytocin,
the
“love”
hormone,
which
goes
down
at
the
same
time.
After
the
girls
finished
the
problems,
some
of
them
got
to
meet
up
with
their
mothers
right
away.
The
mums
came
in
and
hugged
the
girls.
Another
group
of
the
girls
didn’t
see
their
mothers,
but
received
phone
calls
from
them,
in
which
their
mothers
told
them
how
well
they’d
done.
The
final
group
had
no
contact
with
their
mothers,
but
instead
watched
an
animal
movie,
March
of
the
Penguins.
Finally,
the
girls’
hormone
levels
were
measured
again.
Although
the
movie
was
interesting,
it
did
nothing
to
reduce
the
children’s
anxiety—but,
surprisingly,
both
the
physical
contact
and
phone
calls
from
their
mothers
had
the
same
effect
on
reducing
the
girls’
stress
levels.
So,
no
matter
how
old
you
are,
if
you’re
feeling
stressed
about
something
in
your
life,
a
phone
call
to
Mum
might
be
just
the
key
to
helping
you
feel
better.
(　　)30.If
a
girl
is
under
stress,
　　　　.
?
A.she
can’t
solve
maths
problems
B.she
will
have
high
levels
of
hormone
C.oxytocin
will
remain
at
a
high
level
D.cortisol
will
go
up
with
oxytocin
down
(　　)31.Which
of
the
following
is
the
right
order
in
which
the
study
was
carried
out?

girls’
levels
of
hormones
were
measured
again.
b.The
girls
solved
maths
problems.
c.The
girls’
levels

girls
were

A.b-c-d-a
B.d-b-c-a
C.c-b-d-a
D.d-c-b-a
(　　)32.From

infer
that
　　　　.
?
A.it
is
easy
for
girls
to
solve
maths
problems
B.the
girls
who
had

C.all
mothers
should
hug
their
kids
as
often
as
possible
D.older
girls
have

cortisol
than

ones

the

of
the
passage?
A.A
mother’s
voice
can
comfort
her

B.Mothers
should
often

Germs
are
very
small
living
things.
They
are
so
small
that
we
cannot
see
them
unless
we
use
a
microscope.
They
are
found
in
all
kinds
of
places,
all
over
the
world.
There
are
four
main
types
of
germs.
They
can
invade(侵入)
plants,
animals
and
people,
and
sometimes
they
can
make
us
sick.
Bacteria(细菌)
live
just
about
everywhere
on
Earth.
Not
all
bacteria
are
bad.
Some
of
them
are
good
for
our
bodies.
They
help
us
keep
things
in
balance.
Good
bacteria
live
in
our
bodies
and
help
us
use
the
nutrients
in
the
food
we
eat
and
make
waste
from
what’s
left
over.
We
couldn’t
make
the
most
of
a
healthy
meal
without
these
important
helper
germs!
There
are
several
types
of
bad
bacteria,
including
those
that
cause
sore
throats.
Viruses(病毒)
need
a
host
to
keep
living.
They
need
to
be
inside
a
place
of
a
living
plant
or
animal,
including
humans,
or
even
inside
a
bacterium!
Whatever
a
virus
lives
in
is
called
its
host.
Once
a
virus
finds
the
perfect
host,
the
goal
is
to
reproduce
and
spread.
Viruses
are
pretty
tricky
because
they
can
change
quickly
to
fit
a
new
environment.
When
viruses
get
inside
people’s
bodies,
they
can
spread
and
make
people
sick.
Fungi(真菌)
are
kind
of
like
plants.
Unlike
other
plants,
fungi
cannot
make
their
own
food
from
soil,
water,
and
air.
Fungi
love
warm
and
wet
places.
Most
fungi
are
harmless.
The
kind
that
can
grow
on
your
skin
can
be
treated.
It
probably
won’t
hurt
you.
But
it
really
makes
you
uncomfortable!
Protozoa(原生动物)
are
extremely
small.
Most
of
them
live
in
water.
Some
protozoa
actually
eat
bacteria
and
they
are
good
because
they
also
eat
the
waste
of
other
small
living
things.
Some
protozoa
are
bad,
and
they
live
off
of
other
living
things,
sometimes
humans.
For
example,
if
a
person
drinks
unclean
water,
protozoa
may
cause
health
problems.
34.Are
germs
small?
?
35.How
many
germs
are
mentioned
in
the
passage?
?
36.Why
can
viruses
change
quickly?
?
37.Where
do
fungi
love
to
stay?
?
38.What
does
the
passage
mainly
talk
about?
?

Ⅴ.题目①
One
possible
version:
Every
family
has
lots
of
housework.
In
my
free
time
I
often
do
some
housework
such
as
washing
clothes,
sweeping
the
floor
and
watering
flowers.
I
think
I’ve
learned
how
to
look
after
my
family
and
myself
by
doing
housework.
Sometimes
cleaning
all
the
windows
is
an
enjoyable
experience.
I
really
feel
proud
of
myself.
Doing
the
housework
also
makes
me
grow
a
sense
of
responsibility.
The
winter
holiday
is
coming.
I’m
going
to
learn
how
to
cook
some
dishes.
My
parents
will
be
happy
to
enjoy
them.
I
hope
everyone
is
glad
to
do
housework.
Let’s
take
action.
题目②
One
possible
version:
As
we
all
know,
everyone
has
his
unforgettable
memories.
I
still
remember
the
first
time
I
volunteered
at
the
old
people’s
home.
I
got
up
early
that
day
because
I
was
too
excited
to
sleep.
In
the
morning,
we
volunteers
bought
some
flowers
and
fresh
fruit.
When
we
arrived
at
the
Happiness
Nursing
Home,
we
sent
the
old
people
the
flowers,
fruit
and
our
best
wishes.
How
happy
they
were!
Then
we
cleaned
the
windows
and
swept
the
floor
for
them.
After
that,
some
of
us
sang
some
songs
to
them.
Some
read
newspapers
to
them,
and
some
chatted
with
them.
When
it
was
time
for
us
volunteers
to
leave,
they
were
grateful
for
our
kindness.
From
this
meaningful
activity,
I
found
that
we
are
supposed
to
care
for
the
old
and
respect
them
in
our
daily
life.
