Whatever your taste, there’s a food festival to match it — no matter how special. The Meatopia This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops. The National Honey Show If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1923, is the place for you. This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally. The Orange Sauce Festival Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for many years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here. The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival If you’d prefer something with a little more kick, then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, people here specialize in baking gingerbread, and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones. 21. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They hold workshops. C. They originated from London. D. They last three days. 22. If you are interested in foreign food, which festival do you like best? A. The Meatopia. B. The National Honey Show. C. The Orange Sauce Festival. D. The Ginger and Spice Festival. 23. What is special about the Ginger and Spice Festival? A. It sells spicy food. B. The ginger used in the festival is from India. C. It has something to do with a historic figure. D. The food is cooked by Robert Clive. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国四个著名的美食节。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Meatopia部分的“ This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. (这个在伦敦举行的为期三天的节日在8月底或9月初举行，是肉类爱好者的天堂。)”和The National Honey Show部分的“ This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.(这个为期三天的活动吸引了许多当地的参与者，他们展示了他们的甜金蜂蜜，其中一些销往全球。)”可知，Meatopia和the National Honey Show共同之处在于，这两个美食节的时长都是三天。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Orange Sauce Festival部分的“There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.(来自全球30多个不同国家的数千名参与者带着他们当地的小吃在这里分享)”可知，因为有来自全球30多个国家的数千名参与者带着他们的当地小吃在这里分享，所以如果对外国食物感兴趣，可以去The Orange Sauce Festival。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Ginger and Spice Festival部分的“Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger.(与其他美食节不同，它庆祝小镇与罗伯特·克莱夫的历史联系，后者从印度带着生姜回来)”可知，因为和历史人物有关系，所以the Ginger and Spice 美食节很特别。故选C。 B When I was nine years old, my dad worked in a heating and air conditioning company. It allowed him to work mainly in the spring and fall. With summers free, my parents took me and my two brothers to the lake every day. I supposed my parents must realize that if they didn’t find us any things to do, we would finally start fighting, as we were too bored. On the way to the lake, my mother drove the car and my father recited (朗诵) poems so my brothers and I wouldn’t get bored. I still didn’t know how my dad had learnt so many poems by heart. But I had a great discovery that every time my father recited them, those verses (诗句) could keep us three quiet for the next twenty--minute drive. Such moments could never be achieved by what else my parents usually did such as singing, telling stories, and so on. One of the poems that completely attracted me was a bit silly. It begins—Ladles and jellyspoons/I come before you/To stand behind you/And tell you something I know nothing about. There were still many similar ones. I found I was deeply caught. I recited these lines in my head over and over, week after week until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain. I even couldn’t help copying those poems neatly in my favorite notebooks. It’s a love story that continues to this day, thirty years and 10 books of my own later. So the value of the story is this: Read to your kids. Sing to your kids. Recite poems for your kids. Be silly with your kids! It may make all the difference. It works for me. Thanks, Dad. 24. According to the author, why were his brothers and he taken to the lake daily in summer? A. To reduce their study pressure. B. To escape the heat of summers. C. To teach them some new life skills. D. To draw their attention to other things. 25. What did the author find on the way to the lake? A. Poems were easy to learn by heart. B. His parents were good at creating poems. C. His father tried hard to get along well with them. D. Poems could make the three brothers calm down. 26. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. He began to write poems himself. B. He gradually fell in love with poems. C. He made changes to some silly poems. D. He grew to be a kid with excellent grades. 27. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Children should be grateful to their parents. B. Parents should avoid being too strict with kids. C. Good family atmosphere is very important for kids. D. Children should be encouraged to follow their dreams. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过个人回忆的方式，作者讲述了童年时期夏天与家人一起去湖边的经历，特别是父亲在途中为他们朗诵诗歌的习惯，以及这一行为对作者产生的深远影响，表达了家庭互动和文学熏陶对孩子成长的重要价值。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“With summers free, my parents took me and my two brothers to the lake every day. I supposed my parents must realize that if they didn’t find us any things to do, we would finally start fighting, as we were too bored. (有了暑假，我父母每天带我和我的两个兄弟去湖边。我想我的父母一定意识到，如果他们找不到任何事情做，我们最终会开始争吵，因为我们太无聊了。)”可知，作者认为父母带他们去湖边是因为如果他们不给孩子们找点事情做，孩子们因为太无聊最终会开始打架。因此，带他们去湖边是为了转移他们的注意力，让他们有事可做。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But I had a great discovery that every time my father recited them, those verses (诗句) could keep us three quiet for the next twenty--minute drive. Such moments could never be achieved by what else my parents usually did such as singing, telling stories, and so on. (但我有一个伟大的发现，每次我父亲背诵这些诗句，这些诗句可以让我们三个人在接下来的20分钟的车程中保持安静。这样的时刻是我父母通常做的其他事情所无法实现的，比如唱歌、讲故事等等。)”可知，作者提到每当父亲朗诵诗歌时，那些诗句能在接下来二十分钟的车程里让三个孩子保持安静，这表明诗歌能让兄弟们平静下来。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I found I was deeply caught. I recited these lines in my head over and over, week after week until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain. I even couldn’t help copying those poems neatly in my favorite notebooks. (我发现自己被深深吸引住了。我在脑海里一遍又一遍地背诵这些句子，一周又一周，直到它们在我的大脑中燃烧起新的电通路。我甚至忍不住把那些诗整齐地抄在我最喜欢的笔记本上。)”可知，本段描述了作者如何被诗歌深深吸引，不断地在脑海中重复这些诗句，并且还整齐地抄写在自己最喜欢的笔记本上，这说明作者逐渐爱上了诗歌。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I found I was deeply caught. I recited these lines in my head over and over, week after week until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain. I even couldn’t help copying those poems neatly in my favorite notebooks. (我发现自己被深深吸引住了。我在脑海里一遍又一遍地背诵这些句子，一周又一周，直到它们在我的大脑中燃烧起新的电通路。我甚至忍不住把那些诗整齐地抄在我最喜欢的笔记本上。)”和最后一段“It’s a love story that continues to this day, thirty years and 10 books of my own later. So the value of the story is this: Read to your kids. Sing to your kids. Recite poems for your kids. Be silly with your kids! It may make all the difference. It works for me. Thanks, Dad. (这是一个延续至今的爱情故事，三十年后我自己写了十本书。所以这个故事的价值在于：读给你的孩子听。给你的孩子唱歌。为你的孩子背诵诗歌。和你的孩子一起犯傻吧！这可能会有很大的不同。这对我很有效。谢谢，爸爸。)”可知，他认为父亲为他们朗诵诗歌这一行为对他们产生了深远的影响，并在结尾处鼓励家长们给孩子读诗、唱歌、背诵诗歌，与孩子一起做些“傻事”，这对孩子来说意义重大，这反映出良好的家庭氛围对孩子非常重要。故选C项。 C With the increasing development of technology, we now have the ability to get much information from foreign media sources (媒体资源). Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the media, such as magazines and newspapers, many people may think that reading magazines and newspapers is the best way to learn about a foreign country. However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations. We cannot deny that magazines and newspapers actually present some valuable information about foreign countries. However, the information that they present is often one­-sided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also, the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. If a government wants to hide some facts, it may force the media to tell lies to its readers, and thus the information that readers receive may not be true. I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country, you can see things that do not appear in magazines and newspapers, and learn about the local political situation, state of the economy, and the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation, and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you are at home reading a newspaper or magazine, you simply get information provided by others passively (被动地) instead of collecting information directly. So, I believe that the best way to learn about a foreign country is not by reading magazines and newspapers but by placing yourself in that foreign country. 28. What does the text mainly discuss? A. How people get information in no time. B. Where people can get information they need. C. Why it’s important to learn about a foreign country. D. What the best way to learn about a foreign country is. 29. What does the underlined word “deny” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Disagree. B. Promise. C. Realize. D. Accept. 30. Which can best describe the information from magazines and newspapers? A. True but not enough. B. Correct but not fresh. C. Limited and not always true. D. Not enough and not valuable. 31. What is the advantage of traveling to a foreign country according to Paragraph 3? A. You’ll have a quicker mind by learning more. B. You’ll have a chance to read local newspapers. C. You’ll meet people who are different from you. D. You’ll learn truths that the media don’t provide. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者在文章中提出了一个观点，即仅通过阅读杂志和报纸来了解外国是有局限性的，并阐述了这一观点的原因。接着，作者提出了自己的建议，即最佳的了解外国的方式是亲自去旅行或居住一段时间。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations. (然而，我认为仅仅通过阅读杂志和报纸来了解外国是有一些局限性的。)”和第三段中“I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. (我认为了解一个国家最好的方法是去那里旅行或生活一段时间。)”可知，本文主要讨论了了解外国最好的方法是什么，作者认为旅行或在国外生活一段时间是最好的方式，而不是仅仅通过阅读杂志和报纸。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“However, the information that they present is often one­-sided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. (然而，它们提供的信息往往是片面的，因此读者只能了解到一种对发生在国外的事件的看法。)”可知，前后两句构成转折关系，划线句子的句意为：我们不能否认杂志和报纸实际上提供了一些关于国外的有价值的信息。此处deny应意为“否认”。A. Disagree不同意；B. Promise承诺；C. Realize意识到；D. Accept接受。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“However, the information that they present is often one­-sided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also, the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. If a government wants to hide some facts, it may force the media to tell lies to its readers, and thus the information that readers receive may not be true. (然而，它们提供的信息往往是片面的，因此读者只能了解到一种对发生在国外的事件的看法。此外，杂志和报纸上的文字和图片可能不是真的。如果政府想要隐瞒一些事实，它可能会迫使媒体对读者说谎，因此读者收到的信息可能不是真实的。)”可知，杂志和报纸上的信息往往是片面的，并且可能不真实，因此它们提供的信息是有限的且不一定总是真实的。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country, you can see things that do not appear in magazines and newspapers, and learn about the local political situation, state of the economy, and the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation, and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you are at home reading a newspaper or magazine, you simply get information provided by others passively (被动地) instead of collecting information directly. (我认为了解一个国家最好的方法是去那里旅行或生活一段时间。通过在一个国家旅行或生活，你可以看到没有出现在杂志和报纸上的事情，并了解当地的政治局势，经济状况和文化。你可以通过与当地人直接交谈来了解一个国家的整体情况，也可以通过与当地人一起生活一段时间来真正了解当地的文化。但是如果你在家里看报纸或杂志，你只是被动地获得别人提供的信息，而不是直接收集信息。)”可知，亲自去国外旅行或生活可以让人直接看到杂志和报纸上没有呈现的事物，了解到更真实的信息，包括当地的政治局势、经济状况和文化等，这是媒体可能没有提供的真相。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How similar are language and music? Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture.___32___ ·Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music.___33___ By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. ·___34___ You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. ·Both share emotion. ___35___ Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.___36___ I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics. A. Both are expressive. B. Both vary with culture. C. Here are some of their similarities. D. How do you know that I am angry? E. We use language to express our thoughts. F. So just as you read English,you can read music. G. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. 【答案】32. C 33. F 34. B 35. D 36. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章对语言和音乐的相同之处进行了分析、说明。 【32题详解】 根据上文“Both language and music play a huge role in our culture.(语言和音乐在我们的文化中都发挥着巨大的作用)”可知，语言和音乐在我们的文化中扮演着重要的角色，再根据下文“Both language and music have a writing system.(语言和音乐都有一个写作系统)”可知空白处作为承上启下关键语句，表达的是语言和音乐的相似之处，与C项“Here are some of their similarities(以下是它们的一些相似之处)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 【33题详解】 根据上文“In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music.(在英语中，我们用字母表来记录语言，字母表是字母的集合。同样，我们用音符来记录音乐。音乐家阅读音符，并以音乐的形式创造意义)”可知，我们可以像读英语那样读音乐，与F项“So just as you read English, you can read music.(所以就像你读英语一样，你也可以读音乐)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【34题详解】 此处是本段小标题，根据下文“You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use.In the same way,we know that styles of music are different around the world(通过听别人使用的语言，你可以很好地猜测他们来自哪里。同样，我们知道世界各地的音乐风格不同)”可知，语言和音乐都会因文化的不同而变化，与B项“Both vary with culture(两者因文化而异)”表达的含义一致，能概括出本段内容，故选B项。 【35题详解】 根据下文“Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words(当然，你可以从我的脸上看到，但通过我说的话你肯定会知道的)”可知空白处引起下文，和下文构成问答结构，由此可知，空处应是指出“你如何知道……？”，与D项“How do you know that I am angry?(你如何知道我饿了？)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 【36题详解】 根据上文“When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness(当你感到幸福时，你可能想跟着一首幸福的歌唱歌跳舞来庆祝你的幸福)”以及下文“I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions(我认为我们都用音乐来表达或处理我们的情绪)”可知，空白处表达的是与上文相对比的情况，当你在情绪不好的时候会听忧伤的音乐，与G项“In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.(相比之下，当你情绪低落时，你可能也会听悲伤的音乐)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Nowadays, cellphones play a big part in our life.

I was not interested in fashion. I preferred reading to sports, and I had difficulty talking to boys. As a result, the first year of high school had not been kind to me. I had no close friends. 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字左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I ran home and told my mother what had happened. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: 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. Paragraph 2: 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. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者自己喜欢和钦佩班里的同学Ashley所以勉强自己投其所好，以此融入进去那个“酷女孩”团体。但在认识到事实后，作者去结交了那些喜欢真实自己的新朋友，再也没有随波逐流，也发现了自己想成为什么样的人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回家告诉妈妈所发生的事。”可知，第一段可描写作者妈妈安慰作者并给了作者建议。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的一个月里，我经历了很多变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者的改变，做回了真实的自己并交到了新朋友。 2.续写线索：妈妈安慰作者——妈妈给出建议——作者的反应——作者的改变——作者的感想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①参加：participate in/ join in/ take part in ②.找出：find out/ figure out 情绪类 ①.孤独：lonely/ disconsolate/ solitary ②.悲伤：sad/ sorrowful/ woeful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Whatever your taste, there’s a food festival to match it — no matter how special. The Meatopia This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops. The National Honey Show If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1923, is the place for you. This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally. The Orange Sauce Festival Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for many years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here. The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival If you’d prefer something with a little more kick, then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, people here specialize in baking gingerbread, and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones. 21. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They hold workshops. C. They originated from London. D. They last three days. 22. If you are interested in foreign food, which festival do you like best? A. The Meatopia. B. The National Honey Show. C. The Orange Sauce Festival. D. The Ginger and Spice Festival. 23. What is special about the Ginger and Spice Festival? A. It sells spicy food. B. The ginger used in the festival is from India. C. It has something to do with a historic figure. D. The food is cooked by Robert Clive. B When I was nine years old, my dad worked in a heating and air conditioning company. It allowed him to work mainly in the spring and fall. With summers free, my parents took me and my two brothers to the lake every day. I supposed my parents must realize that if they didn’t find us any things to do, we would finally start fighting, as we were too bored. On the way to the lake, my mother drove the car and my father recited (朗诵) poems so my brothers and I wouldn’t get bored. I still didn’t know how my dad had learnt so many poems by heart. But I had a great discovery that every time my father recited them, those verses (诗句) could keep us three quiet for the next twenty--minute drive. Such moments could never be achieved by what else my parents usually did such as singing, telling stories, and so on. One of the poems that completely attracted me was a bit silly. It begins—Ladles and jellyspoons/I come before you/To stand behind you/And tell you something I know nothing about. There were still many similar ones. I found I was deeply caught. I recited these lines in my head over and over, week after week until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain. I even couldn’t help copying those poems neatly in my favorite notebooks. It’s a love story that continues to this day, thirty years and 10 books of my own later. So the value of the story is this: Read to your kids. Sing to your kids. Recite poems for your kids. Be silly with your kids! It may make all the difference. It works for me. Thanks, Dad. 24. According to the author, why were his brothers and he taken to the lake daily in summer? A. To reduce their study pressure. B. To escape the heat of summers. C. To teach them some new life skills. D. To draw their attention to other things. 25. What did the author find on the way to the lake? A. Poems were easy to learn by heart. B. His parents were good at creating poems. C. His father tried hard to get along well with them. D. Poems could make the three brothers calm down. 26. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. He began to write poems himself. B. He gradually fell in love with poems. C. He made changes to some silly poems. D. He grew to be a kid with excellent grades. 27. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Children should be grateful to their parents. B. Parents should avoid being too strict with kids. C. Good family atmosphere is very important for kids. D. Children should be encouraged to follow their dreams. C With the increasing development of technology, we now have the ability to get much information from foreign media sources (媒体资源). Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the media, such as magazines and newspapers, many people may think that reading magazines and newspapers is the best way to learn about a foreign country. However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations. We cannot deny that magazines and newspapers actually present some valuable information about foreign countries. However, the information that they present is often one­-sided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also, the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. If a government wants to hide some facts, it may force the media to tell lies to its readers, and thus the information that readers receive may not be true. I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country, you can see things that do not appear in magazines and newspapers, and learn about the local political situation, state of the economy, and the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation, and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you are at home reading a newspaper or magazine, you simply get information provided by others passively (被动地) instead of collecting information directly. So, I believe that the best way to learn about a foreign country is not by reading magazines and newspapers but by placing yourself in that foreign country. 28. What does the text mainly discuss? A. How people get information in no time. B. Where people can get information they need. C. Why it’s important to learn about a foreign country. D. What the best way to learn about a foreign country is. 29. What does the underlined word “deny” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Disagree. B. Promise. C. Realize. D. Accept. 30. Which can best describe the information from magazines and newspapers? A. True but not enough. B. Correct but not fresh. C. Limited and not always true. D. Not enough and not valuable. 31. What is the advantage of traveling to a foreign country according to Paragraph 3? A. You’ll have a quicker mind by learning more. B. You’ll have a chance to read local newspapers. C. You’ll meet people who are different from you. D. You’ll learn truths that the media don’t provide. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How similar are language and music?

Both language and music play a huge role in our culture.___32___ ·Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.

I was not interested in fashion. I preferred reading to sports, and I had difficulty talking to boys. As a result, the first year of high school had not been kind to me. I had no close friends. 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字左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I ran home and told my mother what had happened. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
