一、完形填空
When
I
was
fourteen
years
old,
my
mum
and
I
didn’t
have
money
for
a
Christmas
dinner,
much
less（更不用说）
gifts.
I
knew
she
was
sad
about
it
and
I
1
my
mind
we
wouldn’t
let
it
get
us
down.
Homemade
gifts
were
nice,
2
I
was
not
imaginative
and
too
poor
for
supplies.
I
decided
to
give
my
mum
something
I
treasured
3
—a
necklace.
I
didn’t
4
anything
that
year.
It
was
about
giving.
I
cleaned
the
necklace,
and
wrapped（包裹）
it
in
the
prettiest
paper
I
5
find.
I
was
so
excited
6
I
couldn’t
wait
for
her
to
open
it.
Single
mums
have
it
hard,
and
I
really
wanted
to
see
her
smile.
I
7
her
the
little
box,
hugged
and
kissed
her
and
wished
her
Merry
Christmas.
I
waited
8
for
her
to
open
it
but
she
just
sat
there
with
the
box
in
her
hands
and
looked
at
it.
After
a
while
she
looked
at
me
and
said,
“I
have
9
for
you
too.”
She
reached
into
her
pocket,
pulling
out
another
small
box,
placed
it
in
my
hands
and
told
me
although
it
was
not
much,
it
was
filled
10
love.
I
was
curious
and
a
little
afraid.
I
knew
money
was
tight
and
hoped
Mum
hadn’t
11
money
on
something
we
couldn’t
afford.
Inside
the
box,
there
was
a
tiny
ring
with
a
small
diamond（钻石）
in
the
centre.
She
told
me
that
it
had
been
her
wedding
ring
from
my
12
.
It
was
mine
now.
I
slipped（滑）
it
on
my
finger
and
hugged
my
mum.
She
opened
the
little
box
and
13
she
saw
the
necklace,
big
tears
filled
her
eyes.
She
asked
me
to
put
it
on
her.
She
held
the
necklace
and
told
me
she
thought
this
was
our
14
Christmas
ever.
I
could
only
15
in
agreement.

二、阅读理解
On
December
24,
kids
around
the
world
waited
for
Santa
Claus（圣诞老人）.
They
thought
that
the
fat,
white-bearded
man
would
bring
them
gifts.
But
do
you
know
that
some
people
would
rather
keep
Santa
out
of
the
door?
Last
month,
10
doctoral（博士的）
students
from
Tsinghua,
Peking
and
Renmin
Universities
said
Santa
Claus
wasn’t
welcome
in
China.
“Foreign
holidays
like
Christmas
are
now
very
popular
in
China,
while
fewer
and
fewer
people
celebrate
traditional
Chinese
festivals
like
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival,”
said
the
students
in
a
public
letter.
They
asked
people
to
stop
sending
Christmas
cards
and
giving
gifts
to
their
children.
Instead,
they
said
that
Chinese
should
spend
more
time
on
traditional
festivals.
They
have
lots
of
support.
In
Hunan,
several
people
went
out
on
the
street
on
Christmas
Day.
They
made
poems
and
wrote
Chinese
calligraphy（书法）.
“Rather
than
spending
money
on
Christmas,
we
should
care
more
about
our
own
culture,”
said
one
of
them.
But
others
have
different
ideas.
“Celebrations
of
foreign
holidays
help
us
know
more
about
foreign
cultures.
It
is
good
for
us
to
make
friends,”
said
Liu
Yang,
a
14-year-old
boy
from
Shanghai.
Sun
Long,
13,
from
Beijing,
sees
the
celebration
as
a
way
to
make
people
happier
and
closer.
“My
school
held
a
big
party
on
Christmas
Day.
We
played
games
and
shared
gifts
with
each
other.
I
think
we
have
got
closer,”
he
said.
（
）1.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE?
A.
Some
college
students
wanted
Chinese
people
to
pay
more
attention
to
traditional
Chinese
festivals.
B.
All
students
are
interested
in
foreign
holidays.
C.
More
students
want
to
stop
spending
more
time
on
Chinese
culture.
D.
Fewer
people
like
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival.
（
）2.
What
did
people
do
in
China
after
the
10
students’
letter
came
out?
A.
They
stopped
sending
Christmas
cards
and
giving
gifts
to
their
children.
B.
They
made
poems
and
wrote
Chinese
calligraphy.
C.
Few
of
them
cared
more
about
their
own
culture.
D.
Many
of
them
supported
the
students’
idea.
（
）3.
What
did
a
student
called
Sun
Long
think
of
foreign
holidays?
A.
It
was
good
to
make
friends.
B.
It
was
helpful
to
know
more
about
cultures.
C.
It
was
a
happy
time
to
relax
and
get
closer.
D.
It
was
a
good
time
to

三、词汇运用
根据短文内容和所给汉语提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式（每空一词）。
Every
year,
we
celebrate
Teachers’
Day
in
honour
of
the
teachers
who
spend
so
much
time
teaching
us
so
many
things.
It
is
on
the
1
（第十）
day
of
September.
This
year,
we
had
half
a
day
2__________（休息）.
It
started
with
a
school
meeting
in
the
hall.
The
headmaster
gave
a
3__________（演讲）
there
first.
After
that,
we
began
to
celebrate
the4__________（假日）
in
our
own
class.
My
classmates
5__________（举办）
a
small
party
for
our
teachers.
Firstly,
we
arranged
the
chairs
and
desks
so
that
they
surrounded
an
empty
space
in
the
middle
of
the
classroom.
Then
we
6__________（摆放）
all
kinds
of
foods
and
drinks
on
the
desks.
After
that
we
began
eating,
drinking
and
playing
games
with
our
teachers.
Most
of
the
teachers
were
very
active
and
we
enjoyed
7__________（我们自己）
very
much.
It
was
so
different
from
having
lessons.
There
was
also
a
short
play
for
our
teachers.
I
didn’t
have
time
to
watch
it
because
I
was
washing
the
8__________（盘子）.
The
party
continued
9__________（直到……为止）
the
bell
rang.
The
day
was
10__________（结束）
and
we
went
home,
tired
but
happy.
All
in
all,
it
was
a
great
day.
四、任务型阅读
在英国布里斯托（Bristol）举行的国际热气球节是欧洲最大的热气球节之一，每年吸引大量游客前往。请你根据下面的介绍，补全网页信息。每空不超过三个单词。
The
hot-air
balloon
first
appeared
in
the
18th
century.
It
was
invented
by
Montgolfier
brothers
in
France.
They
held
the
first
hot
air
balloon
show.
Although
the
modern
hot-air
balloon
is
different
from
Montgolfier
brothers’,
it
is
still
made
up
of
three
main
parts.
At
the
top
of
it
is
a
big
balloon.
It
is
used
to
carry
hot-air.
Under
it
is
a
heater（加热器）.
It
helps
the
hot
air
balloon
stay
high
in
the
sky
like
a
boat
on
the
river.
And
a
basket
is
connected
to
the
bottom
to
carry
people
and
things.
If
you
are
interested
in
hot-air
balloons,
welcome
to
Bristol
International
Balloon
Festival
to
enjoy
four
days
of
fun
in
August.
During
the
festival,
you
can
have
a
picnic
in
the
open
air,
take
beautiful
photos,
and
even
travel
in
a
hot-air
balloon
to
have
a
bird’s-eye
view（鸟瞰）
of
the
city.
How
exciting
the
experience
will
be!
