A．On January 25. B．On February 1. C．On February 8. D．On March 13. C　[细节理解题。根据文章Bell Summer Camps部分“Camps go on sale to Bell members on Saturday，February 8，for an exclusive week's pre­sale and discounts of $30/camp on full­week registration.”可知，2月8日这一天有30美元的折扣优惠，所以可以省钱。故选C。] B On a drive to my appointment on Halloween，I thought about how life should be going.I was 30，a mother of three daughters—twin five­year­olds and a one­year­old.I should be playing in the park with them or visiting the library.But once again，I needed this appointment. It had been a year since I'd been diagnosed with cancer.My surgery was over，so it's just a routine blood test.As always，there was a fear that the cancer had returned.But today，it was more than that.I felt alone，tired，and sad.My family and friends were busy with their lives，and I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness.I just wanted to see the positive things in life and be truly grateful—without reservations. When we finally arrived，we sat in a crowded waiting room.It was pretty uneventful (平淡的) until my youngest daughter，dressed up like an angel，walked up to a complete stranger and said，“Tweet.” This was what she said，“Trick or Treat，” coached previously by her twin sisters.The old woman，who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver，knew exactly what my daughter meant.She ordered her helper to take her over to the vending machine.She put in enough money to give each of my girls a treat.This caring act started a run on the vending machine.Soon，everyone had a candy bar or bag of chips ready for impromptu trick or treat，which was beyond their expectations. Everyone was smiling and laughing，and my daughters were extremely happy with their good fortune.Here were these people，facing who­knows­what health difficulties，and they only thought of giving three little girls some Halloween fun.It was a lesson for me about how good，kind and generous people are.The gratitude I felt was overwhelming (压倒性的)，and the thankfulness didn't fade away. 【语篇解读】　文章讲述了作者带着女儿们，在医院参加了一次特殊的“不给糖就捣蛋”的万圣节活动。 4．Where might the story take place according to the text? A．In the library. B．In the park. C．In a hospital. D．At a store. C　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“It had been a year since I'd been diagnosed with cancer.My surgery was over，so it's just a routine blood test.”和最后一段“Here were these people，facing who­knows­what health difficulties，and they only thought of giving three little girls some Halloween fun.”可推测出，故事发生在医院。故选C项。] 5．How did the author feel about that day's appointment on her way to her destination? A．She felt excited. B．She was optimistic. C．She feared the worst. D．She had mixed feelings. D　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“As always，there was a fear that the cancer had returned.But today，it was more than that.I felt alone，tired，and sad.”和本段最后一句“I just wanted to see the positive things in life and be truly grateful — without reservations.”可知，在去医院检查的路上，作者的情绪非常复杂。故选D项。] 6．What does the underlined word “impromptu” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Unprepared. B．Initial. C．Eventful. D．Splendid. A　[词义猜测题。根据画线部分后文“which was beyond their expectations”可知，“不给糖果就捣乱”的活动出乎意料，在等候室内的每个人都没有准备。因此画线单词impromptu意思为“未做准备的”。故选A项。] 7．What might be the best title for the text? A．An Exciting Appointment B．A Special Trick or Treat C．A Routine Blood Test D．One Special Friend B　[标题归纳题。根据全文故事内容可知，作者之前得过癌症，做完手术之后，在万圣节带着孩子们到医院进行复查，由于一岁的小女儿向一位坐在轮椅上的老人提出“不给糖果就捣乱”，医院的病人们忘记了疾病，积极参与到“不给糖果就捣乱”的活动中来，病人们暂时忘记了烦恼。因此A Special Trick or Treat(一个特殊的“不给糖果就捣乱”)适合做本文的最佳题目。故选B项。] C Getting kids interested in science at an early age is very important.It's easier than you think.It is happening all around us，and you can use everyday things to encourage your children's interest and knowledge. Most parents believe that it is difficult to help their children with science.But you don't need a high scientific degree to teach young children science.All you need is that you're willing to try，to see the world，and to take the time to encourage their natural curiosity. You can help by having an active attitude toward science yourself.Then start simply by asking your children questions about the things you see every day.And then listen to their answers without judging them，which will improve their confidence，and help you decide just what your children do or do not know. Different kids have different interests so they need different kinds of science projects.A rock collection may interest your young daughter but your older son may need something more to do with it.Knowing your child is the best way to find enjoyable learning activities.Here are some more tips. —Choose activities that are the right level of difficulty.If you are not sure，pick something easier. —Read the suggested ages on any projects，books，then make sure that the activity is proper for your child. —Consider how well the type of the project matches your child's personality and learning style. —Let your child choose the project or activity.It's easy enough to ask.Rather than overwhelm him，suggest 2 or 3 possibilities.When a child picks something he is interested in，he will enjoy it and learn more from it. 【语篇解读】　对孩子来说，科学是枯燥的，他们往往不感兴趣。本文主要介绍了怎样教孩子学科学。 8．The best title for the text would be “ ”． A．Helping Kids Choose Projects B．Having an Active Attitude toward Science C．Tips on Teaching Children Science D．The Best Way to Build up Confidence C　[标题归纳题。文章第一段点明本文要谈论的话题：让孩子早早地对科学产生兴趣是重要的。下文具体介绍如何教孩子学习科学，故答案为C。] 9．When listening to children's answers，parents shouldn't judge them so that they can ． A．get children's support B．find children's weaknesses C．learn more from it D．make children full of confidence D　[细节理解题。由第三段的“And then listen to their answers without judging them，which will improve their confidence...”可知，答案为D。] 10．The features of science activities you choose don't include ． A．being as easy as possible B．being proper for kids C．agreeing with kids' learning style D．being enjoyable A　[细节理解题。由倒数第四段“Choose activities that are the right level of difficulty.If you are not sure，pick something easier.”可知，A项表述错误。] 11．The underlined word “overwhelm” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”． A．express B．control C．request D．beat B　[词义猜测题。由画线词前面的“Let your child choose the project or activity.”以及后面的“suggest 2 or 3 possibilities”可知，要让孩子自己选择项目或活动，可以给他们几个建议，而不是压制他们，故B项为最佳答案。] D Food brings us together and connects us to our families，friends，nature and to foreign cultures.Food is universal.Food waste，on the other hand，has become a universal problem，as it significantly contributes to climate change.Luckily，there are countries that have laws to require supermarkets or other businesses to donate unsold food. About one third of all food grown for human consumption is thrown out or wasted according to the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO).This creates both environmental and financial problems，since traditional agriculture requires large amounts of resources including land and water.Food production is also a major cause of greenhouse gases and climate change. Food waste occurs at every step of food production from the field to the store.In fact，fruits，vegetables，and roots have the highest waste.Donating food that is unusually wasted does not mean giving away damaged food.Sometimes it is simply a case of food being mislabeled，a can that has a torn label，or slightly bruised fruit. To reduce both the financial and environmental pressure，Italy passed a law to encourage businesses and farmers to donate unsold food to charities.Companies that donate their leftovers will pay lower taxes on waste removal. Waste management is also a very costly thing for governments.In fact，according to Global Citizen, in 2016，Italy spent over $13.3 billion on waste management.The idea behind the law is that when it is economic and convenient，companies will happily follow the law. France was the first country to pass a food donation law in 2016.It required supermarkets that are at least 4，300 square feet to donate unsold food to charity.Since then，90 percent of supermarkets began donating food，the number of which was 66 percent before the law. To increase food donations，Israel passed a law in 2018 to ensure that unused food from restaurants，hotels and other places goes to the people that need it most. 【语篇解读】　食物浪费已经成为一个全球性的问题，因为它严重加剧了气候变化。幸运的是，有些国家有法律要求超市或其他企业捐赠未售出的食品。文章介绍了如今食物浪费的现状和不良影响，对此意大利通过了一项法律鼓励企业和农民将未售出的食品捐赠给慈善机构，并介绍了这一法律的影响。 12．What does paragraph 2 focus on? A．FAO's guidelines. B．Human eating diets. C．Global climate change. D．Food waste problems. D　[段落大意题。根据第二段“About one third of all food grown for human consumption is thrown out or wasted according to the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO).This creates both environmental and financial problems，since traditional agriculture requires large amounts of resources including land and water.Food production is also a major cause of greenhouse gases and climate change.”可知，第二段的重点是食物浪费问题。故选D。] 13．What is most likely to be given away according to the law? A．Heavily broken canned food. B．Unhealthy vegetables. C．Slightly bruised fruit. D．Damaged food. C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“Donating food that is unusually wasted does not mean giving away damaged food.Sometimes it is simply a case of food being mislabeled，a can that has a torn label，or slightly bruised fruit.”可知，根据法律，轻微擦伤的水果最有可能被捐赠。故选C。] 14．What benefit will the Italian government get from the law? A．It will sell donated food to make money. B．It will ask companies to pay higher taxes. C．It will save money on waste management. D．It will attract more international companies. C　[细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Waste management is also a very costly thing for governments.In fact，according to Global Citizen，in 2016，Italy spent over $13.3 billion on waste management.The idea behind the law is that when it is economic and convenient，companies will happily follow the law.”可知，意大利政府将从这项法律中得到的好处是，政府将节省花在废物管理上的钱。故选C。] 15．What is known about the food donation law? A．It seems difficult to pass in Israel. B．It takes effect gradually in France. C．It is just applied in supermarkets. D．It is an unsuccessful try in France. B　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“France was the first country to pass a food donation law in 2016.It required supermarkets that are at least 4，300 square feet to donate unsold food to charity.Since then，90 percent of supermarkets began donating food，the number of which was 66 percent before the law.”可知，食品捐赠法在法国逐渐生效。故选B。] 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Noodles That Became a Popular Dish in China Luosifen is a feature of the city of Liuzhou in Guangxi. 16 Originally served as a cheap street snack in small restaurants in Liuzhou，luosifen was more and more popular after it appeared in a food program，A Bite of China. 17 But it was a creative manager at an instant luosifen factory in Liuzhou that caused the current popularity online. 18 It showed how they made the noodles，and took live orders online from viewers.Over 10，000 packets were sold in two hours，according to local media.Other luosifen makers quickly followed suit，creating an online craze (热潮) that has not faded. 19 It was its effort that turned the street snack into a household food.Taobao sold over 28 million luosifen packets last year，making it the most popular food item on the platform.

The girl，Ashley，was very different from me.She was fashionable，and she was very artistic，listening to bands I had never heard of.She was quite popular.We were always in the same classes throughout school，but didn't talk much. During summer school，the teacher asked us to pair up(结对) on a school project.Ashley didn't seem to like working with me at first，but she gave in.I guessed it was because none of her “cool” friends were in the class.We met at the library to work on the project.Ashley did most of the talking.We sat by each other the rest of the summer and when classes ended，we continued to hang out. I admired Ashley；she was the kind of person I thought I wanted to be.I began to wear the clothes she wore.I quit reading and started watching the TV programs that Ashley watched.I decided to take an art class though I had really wanted to take the theatre.When we started school again，I met Ashley's group of friends，the “cool girls”．She was the leader of the group.To fit in with the group，I followed them around，laughing at their jokes and agreeing with their opinions I actually disagreed with.But I didn't say much. One day，I went to join the group again.They were chatting without noticing my arrival.One girl said，“Ashley，she just follows you around，trying to be you.She copies you；she doesn't have her own personality(个性).” Ashley replied，“I wish she could find the group she actually belonged to.” I was shocked and sad.I thought I had fit in with them. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。 2．请按如下格式作答。 I ran home and told my mother what had happened. Over the next month，I went through a lot of changes. 【参考范文】 I ran home and told my mother what had happened. She just hugged me while I cried for hours.I felt lonely and sad.The advice my mother gave was so simple.I had heard it a million times，but this time it was impressive: “Just be yourself and people will like you for who you are.” Hearing that，I stopped crying and decided to find out who I was.That was exactly what I did.I didn't hang out with Ashley and her group any longer. Over the next month，I went through a lot of changes. I dropped the art class and joined the theatre.I began making new friends who liked me for who I was.I continued reading，and developed my own opinions.I never again followed the crowd.I built up the courage to participate in each of my school play，and played lead roles.The friends I made in the theatre are still my great friends.When looking back，I think it was the year that I found out the person I was going to be. 17/18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
