I was definitely not wrong! The wedding ceremony took place in a brightly decorated hotel room. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes. According to tradition, the bride was wearing an eye-catching red silk sari. I did not understand all of the traditional customs, but a few made a deep impression on me. One was the bridegroom’s entrance on a beautiful white horse. I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim’s father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband. It reminded me of my sister’s wedding. Although our cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same. The customs that followed were anything but ordinary. The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times. Then they took seven steps together by the fire, and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily. It was very romantic! After ceremony, it was time for the celebrations. That is a story for another day, but let’s just say there was a lot of dancing. Now I know I have two left feet... and both of them hurt! 1. Why did the bride wear red silk sari? A. because she liked it. B. Because it was the tradition. C. Because she had no other clothes. D. Because it was the most expensive. 2.

It is well known that Cambridge University is one of the best universities in the world, but few people know its unique university system. The trip made me know more about the school. It turned out so different from what I had expected! At Cambridge, there are 31 colleges. These colleges are places where students live, enjoy entertainment, study at libraries and use leisure equipment. Once you enter a college, it becomes your community. Each college is different in terms of places, equipment and atmosphere (氛围). This is why, when applying to Cambridge, applicants (申请人) take great care to choose the right college for themselves. Sometimes, it is just a matter of whether it “feels right” for you. I also had the chance to visit their Museum of Classical Archaeology (考古学). For someone who is crazy about classics (经典), Cambridge is the perfect place to come and learn from their museums. Classics have been interesting me since I was a kid, and I have developed a deep love for Greek mythology (神话) in comic books. In most museums that Cambridge has, it is easy to find exhibits (展品) that enable you to gain knowledge in any area of interest. There is a museum for almost everything you can think of, including earth sciences, art and — of course — classics. If you ever have the chance to visit Cambridge, I would suggest visiting their museums as part of your trip. Not only would you be able to immerse yourself in the studying atmosphere, but you could enjoy the wonderful exhibits each museum offers. 8. How did the writer learn more about Cambridge University according to the passage? A. By reading books. B. By visiting it. C. By watching TV. D. By surfing the Internet. 9. Why should applicants be careful about choosing the right college? A. Students have different interests. B. Not all colleges are open to them. C. The colleges are similar to each other. D. Each college is different in its own way. 10. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The writer’s deep interest in classics. B. The great advantages of visiting Cambridge’s museums. C. The large collection of exhibits in Cambridge’s museums. D. The writer’s visit to the Museum of Classical Archaeology. 11. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph? A. Put. B. Teach. C. Value. D. Dress. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国剑桥大学城的有关信息。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容“Last July, I visited Cambridge, a historical university town in England. It is well known that Cambridge University is one of the best universities in the world, but few people know its unique university system. The trip made me know more about the school. It turned out so different from what I had expected!( 去年7月，我访问了英国历史悠久大学城剑桥。众所周知，剑桥大学是世界上最好的大学之一，但很少有人知道它独特的大学制度。这次旅行使我对学校有了更多的了解。结果和我预料的大不相同！)”可知，作者通过旅行更多地了解了剑桥大学。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each college is different in terms of places, equipment and atmosphere (氛围). This is why, when applying to Cambridge, applicants (申请人) take great care to choose the right college for themselves.(每个学院的地点、设备和氛围都不一样。这就是为什么申请剑桥大学时，申请人会非常小心地为自己选择合适的学院)”可知，申请人会非常小心地为自己选择合适的大学，是因为每个学院都不同。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段，特别是“In most museums that Cambridge has, it is easy to find exhibits (展品) that enable you to gain knowledge in any area of interest. There is a museum for almost everything you can think of, including earth sciences, art and — of course — classics. (在剑桥的大多数博物馆里，很容易找到能让你在任何感兴趣的领域获得知识的展品。这里有一个博物馆，几乎囊括了你能想到的所有东西，包括地球科学、艺术，当然还有经典)”可推知，这一段主要说的是参观剑桥博物馆的好处。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“If you ever have the chance to visit Cambridge, I would suggest visiting their museums as part of your trip. Not only would you be able to immerse yourself in the studying atmosphere, but you could enjoy the wonderful exhibits each museum offers.(如果你有机会参观剑桥，我建议你在旅行中参观他们的博物馆。你不仅可以immerse在学习的氛围中，还可以欣赏每个博物馆提供的精彩展品)”可推断，参观剑桥博物馆你不仅可以沉浸在学习氛围中，还可以欣赏每个博物馆提供的精彩展品。由此推知， 划线单词可用put替换。故选A。 D There are a number of reasons that can be given as to why children should be taught swimming at a young age.

With the money she received for it, she would buy Jim a perfect gift. Della had her hair cut off and sold it for twenty dollars. She spent the next two hours hunting for Jim’s gift. She found it at last: a simple but beautiful watch chain for his gold watch, which had been passed down to him from his grandfather.

Would Jim still think she was pretty? She was about to find out. As she entered the room, Jim’s eyes widened in surprise, but instead of commenting on her new look, which she had transformed into a schoolboy-like appearance, he pulled her into a tight embrace, his words echoing. “Della, you remain the most beautiful person to me, both externally and internally.” His heartfelt reassurance, like a warm blanket, instantly dispelled her lingering nervousness. And the next day would be Christmas. As they exchanged gifts that Christmas Eve, Della presented Jim with the watch chain, her eyes shining with love and gratitude. And as Jim fastened the chain to his cherished gold watch, he whispered softly, “No gift could ever compare to the gift of your love, Della. You are my greatest treasure.” In that simple exchange, they found that the true essence of Christmas lay not in the value of presents, but in the depth of their affection for each other. And as they celebrated the holiday together, surrounded by love and warmth, Della knew that she was the richest woman in the world, regardless of the contents of her purse. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个贫穷的女子Della为了给丈夫Jim买圣诞礼物，决定卖掉自己心爱的长发，最终买到一条手表链的故事，体现了深沉的夫妻之爱和Della的牺牲精神。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她没有漂亮的长发，看起来像个小学生吗？吉姆还会觉得她很漂亮吗？她马上就要知道了。”可知，第一段可描写她内心很忐忑，但是Jim看到Della时拥抱她并驱散了她的不安。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天就是圣诞节了。”可知，第二段可描写平安夜他们交换了礼物，Jim看到金色表链时明白了一切，非常感动，Della也觉得自己非常幸福。 2. 续写线索：忐忑——进入房间——拥抱——驱散紧张——交换礼物——金色表链——交流——感动——幸福 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：entered/approached/ventured ②拥抱：hugged/embraced/enveloped/clasped ③安慰：comforted/encouraged/bolstered 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/ astonishment/amazement ②幸福：happiness/joy/bless 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she entered the room, Jim’s eyes widened in surprise, but instead of commenting on her new look, which she had transformed into a schoolboy-like appearance, he pulled her into a tight embrace, his words echoing.

I was definitely not wrong! The wedding ceremony took place in a brightly decorated hotel room. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes. According to tradition, the bride was wearing an eye-catching red silk sari. I did not understand all of the traditional customs, but a few made a deep impression on me. One was the bridegroom’s entrance on a beautiful white horse. I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim’s father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband. It reminded me of my sister’s wedding. Although our cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same. The customs that followed were anything but ordinary. The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times. Then they took seven steps together by the fire, and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily. It was very romantic! After ceremony, it was time for the celebrations. That is a story for another day, but let’s just say there was a lot of dancing. Now I know I have two left feet... and both of them hurt! 1.

One day, he was walking through the forest, carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you. 4.

Don’t believe the stranger D. Food and water are important C Last July, I visited Cambridge, a historical university town in England. It is well known that Cambridge University is one of the best universities in the world, but few people know its unique university system. The trip made me know more about the school. It turned out so different from what I had expected! At Cambridge, there are 31 colleges. These colleges are places where students live, enjoy entertainment, study at libraries and use leisure equipment. Once you enter a college, it becomes your community. Each college is different in terms of places, equipment and atmosphere (氛围). This is why, when applying to Cambridge, applicants (申请人) take great care to choose the right college for themselves. Sometimes, it is just a matter of whether it “feels right” for you. I also had the chance to visit their Museum of Classical Archaeology (考古学). For someone who is crazy about classics (经典), Cambridge is the perfect place to come and learn from their museums. Classics have been interesting me since I was a kid, and I have developed a deep love for Greek mythology (神话) in comic books. In most museums that Cambridge has, it is easy to find exhibits (展品) that enable you to gain knowledge in any area of interest. There is a museum for almost everything you can think of, including earth sciences, art and — of course — classics. If you ever have the chance to visit Cambridge, I would suggest visiting their museums as part of your trip. Not only would you be able to immerse yourself in the studying atmosphere, but you could enjoy the wonderful exhibits each museum offers. 8. How did the writer learn more about Cambridge University according to the passage? A. By reading books. B. By visiting it. C. By watching TV. D. By surfing the Internet. 9. Why should applicants be careful about choosing the right college? A. Students have different interests. B. Not all colleges are open to them. C. The colleges are similar to each other. D. Each college is different in its own way. 10. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A The writer’s deep interest in classics. B. The great advantages of visiting Cambridge’s museums. C. The large collection of exhibits in Cambridge’s museums. D. The writer’s visit to the Museum of Classical Archaeology. 11. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph? A. Put. B. Teach. C. Value. D. Dress. D There are a number of reasons that can be given as to why children should be taught swimming at a young age. If your children know the basic swimming skills, you can be at peace when your children are near the water. If you are in the process of teaching your children how to swim, then here are some points that you should keep in mind. ♦Help your children pick bathing suits. If your children want to wear a bathing suit and get wet then it is certain that your children will be able to handle the water. ♦If the pool has steps, then it is great. Start from these to help your children gain some confidence. You should make sure that there is one place in the pool where your children can be left safely. ♦The best way to teach your children to swim is to make them join swimming classes. In this way, you will be at peace because there is a professional trainer around your children who can teach them all the tricks of swimming. You can join in the parent-children lessons to make your children feel comfortable. If your children are a bit older, then get permission and sit by the pool to watch them learn.When you get your children admitted to swimming classes, make sure that the lessons go according to the swimming goals that you have set for your children. Swimming is a fun activity and makes it easy for your children to understand coordinating (协调 ) the movements of their arms and legs will take some time. But, with regular practice and training this can be overcome. So, start with the basics and be around your children when they are learning how to swim. Once they know how to swim, then you can be at peace when they play around the water. 12. The pool with steps can make your children . A. excited and calm B. confident and relaxed C. nervous and uneasy D. strange and unusual 13. According to the text, the best way for children to learn swimming is to_____.
