I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK. The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall. “Many people wonder why I’m obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William. William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.” William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,” said William. 24. What do we know about William Lindesay? A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall. B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986. C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall. D. He didn’t climb the Great Wall in his teens. 25. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Reminded. B. Attracted. C. Struck. D. Buried. 26. Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To introduce their home’s location. B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall. C. To describe the childhood of William’s children. D. To show the Great Wall’s impact on William’s children. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. William’s sons will work in the film industry. B. William has become a famous director for his film. C. William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad. D. William will work for the Chinese government in the future. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自英国的William Lindesay对长城的喜爱。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day(我第一次在地图上看到长城是在1967年，当时我只有11岁。我花了很长时间试图算出长城有多长，但我失败了。我想总有一天我一定会去那里)”和第二段“The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall.(这个英国人说到做到。1986年，他带着跑完长城的计划来到中国)”可知，William Lindesay十几岁时没爬过长城。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day(第一个原因是它很美，第二个原因是它在户外。户外也有历史。你需要行动起来去发现它。第三点是它很有趣。长城每天都在我的脑海里)”可知，William给出了喜欢长城的三个原因。由此推知，划线句讲的是他被长城吸引的原因，故划线词为“吸引，着迷”的意思。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”(威廉王子的小儿子托马斯说：“我经常用‘狂野’来形容我的童年，几乎每个周末都待在长城脚下。这太神奇了，因为没有多少人能一直看到这样的世界遗产，而我全年都能看到它。”他的大儿子詹姆斯说：“住在这里对我对长城的看法有很大影响。它几乎就像我的后院，所以我应该保护它。”)”可推知，第四段提到了托马斯和詹姆斯是为了说明长城对威廉的孩子们的影响。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’(我们收到了很多来自人们的电子邮件，说他们真的很喜欢中国，不知道中国是如此美丽。我成了“长城大使”)”可推知，William推进了中国文化在国外的传播。故选C。 C Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he’ll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it’s a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out — and spring will come soon. “These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad. “The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries. These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem — they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Animals are cleverer than humans. B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow. C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed. D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter. 29. What does the second paragraph talk about? A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world. C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations. 30. Which is a benefit of these traditions? A. They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support. C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea behind the traditions? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。介绍“土拨鼠日”的传统及意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early.(土拨鼠日是2月2日!每年这一天，一群人聚集在宾夕法尼亚州的Punxsutawney，看一只名叫Phil的土拨鼠是否会从它的洞里出来。如果阳光明媚，它在回到洞穴前看到自己的影子，那就意味着冬天还要再持续六个星期)”可知，阳光明媚的土拨鼠日(2月2日)意味着更长的冬天。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad.(“这些传统可以追溯到公元前3000年至5000年的印欧文明，”威尼斯历史学家埃琳娜·里格里托说。“这就是为什么它们遍布欧洲，”她解释道。根据里格里托的说法，这一传统最深层次的意义在于其看似矛盾的本质。它可能看起来不合逻辑，寒冷的日子意味着春天的到来，或者土拨鼠和熊在天气不好的时候决定出门)”可知，该段讲述了动物预测天气的起源及背后的互相矛盾的逻辑根源。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life.(这些传统并不能保护人们免受恶劣天气、死亡或疾病的影响，但它们在情感上保护人们免受与即将到来的现实有关的一些焦虑。它们不能解决真正的问题，但能解决心理问题——它们能帮助你度过人生的艰难时期)”可知，这些传统给人们提供了情感支持。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier.(这些传统并不能保护人们免受恶劣天气、死亡或疾病的影响，但它们在情感上保护人们免受与即将到来的现实有关的一些焦虑。它们不能解决真正的问题，但能解决心理问题——它们能帮助你度过人生的艰难时期。在某种程度上，如果我们相信土拨鼠和熊的神奇力量，我们可能会发现即使是一个更长的冬天也会变得更温暖、更友好)”可知，作者是尊重这种传统的。故选C。 D Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone. A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report. “I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in down town West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She return s to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said. Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeep er with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流).“I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.” That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report. 32. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about? A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service. 33. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch? A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work. C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report. 34. Why is Mazoleny mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To show the popularity of the bar. B. To stress the significance of work. C. To give an example of healthy eating. D. To explain another reason for the phenomenon. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The tendency to having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection. C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。据一份报告显示，越来越多的美国人喜欢独自用餐，并通过两个实例加以说明，文章总结了人们喜欢独自用餐的原因。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report.(一份新的报告发现，在美国，46%的用餐是独自用餐。超过一半(53%)的人独自吃早餐，近一半(46%)的人独自吃午餐。根据该报告的统计数据，只有在晚餐时间我们才会在一起吃饭，74%的人会这样做)”可知，本段的数据是关于用餐习惯的。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She return s to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.(午餐时间的逃离让她可以避免老板拍她的肩膀。她回到工作中感到精力充沛。“今天，我只想给自己留点时间，”她说)”可知，柏克德喜欢出去吃午饭是为了有自己的时间。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeep er with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流). “I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”(仅仅隔着两个座位，当地的摄像师安德鲁·马佐伦尼正在酒吧吃完午餐。他喜欢这样，他可以安静地坐着看手机，或者如果他想和酒保有一点互动，可以和他直呼其名的酒保聊天。他说：“我会回想这一天是怎么过去的，然后想想这一周剩下的时间。这是一个自我反省的机会。你带着一个计划重新回到工作岗位。”)”可知，提到Mazoleny是为了解释他单独用餐的原因。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report.(一份新的报告发现，在美国，46%的用餐是独自用餐。超过一半(53%)的人独自吃早餐，近一半(46%)的人独自吃午餐。根据该报告的统计数据，只有在晚餐时间我们才会在一起吃饭，74%的人会这样做)”可知，本文通过一份调查结果显示美国人喜欢独自用餐的趋势，并总结了人们选择独自用餐的原因。由此可知，这篇文章的主要讲述了独自用餐的倾向。故选A。 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。 Have you ever thought of the reasons why we had better learn a second language?

I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part! But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you’re so good at it.” “You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I’m not good at any of it.” “In that case, I’m in trouble,” she joked, “because you’re the one I stand behind and copy in class.” I laughed, “Seriously?” “Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail’s mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time dragging myself to karate for a while after that I missed Abigail so much. Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation. “It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said. “So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).” I suddenly realized she’d been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate. “This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here?” “My mom’s job in New York didn’t work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.” “That’s the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.” I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Things seemed all right at first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, I simply could not take it anymore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Things seemed all right at first. However, with time going by, conflicts emerged. Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. Trapped in the dilemma, I, enveloped by the sense of sadness, still felt confused why things turned out to be that complicated, not knowing how to tackle the problem. Worse still, karate even became the most frightening thing to me. One day, I simply could not take it anymore. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I stopped them from arguing and said with a deep sigh, “Why can’t you get along with each other well? Both of you are my best friends.” Hearing my words, they didn’t utter a single word, sinking into a deep silence. After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around Abigail’s shoulders. Seeing this scene, I gasped with relief and burst into laughter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者刚开始去学空手道的时候一个人也不认识，作者也因为不知道怎么做一些动作而感到羞愧，有一天一个叫Abigail的女孩告诉作者作者踢腿踢得很棒，从那以后她们成了好朋友，后来，Abigail搬走了，作者又认识了一个叫Ava的女孩，作者也和她成为了好朋友，后来Abigail也回来了，作者希望她们三人能相处得很好，成为亲密的朋友，而Abigail和Ava则有些犹豫地看着对方，脸上带着不确定的微笑。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初一切似乎都很顺利。”可知，第一段可描写后来Abigail和Ava出现矛盾，以及作者所面临的困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，我再也无法忍受了。”可知，第二段可描写作者解决Abigail和Ava之间的矛盾。 2.续写线索：出现矛盾——Abigail抱怨——Ava抓狂——作者困惑，不知如何解决问题——阻止她们争吵——作者说她们都是作者的好朋友——她们陷入沉默——拥抱——作者松了口气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：emerge/appear ②阻止某人做某事：stop sb from doing/prevent sb. from doing ③陷入沉默：sink into a deep silence/fall into a deep silence 情绪类 ①伤心：sadness/sorrow ②害怕：frightening/dreadful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be.

I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK. The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall. “Many people wonder why I’m obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William. William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.” William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,” said William. 24. What do we know about William Lindesay? A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall. B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986. C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall. D. He didn’t climb the Great Wall in his teens. 25. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Reminded. B. Attracted. C. Struck. D. Buried. 26 Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To introduce their home’s location. B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall. C. To describe the childhood of William’s children. D. To show the Great Wall’s impact on William’s children. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. William’s sons will work in the film industry. B. William has become a famous director for his film. C. William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad. D William will work for the Chinese government in the future. C Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he’ll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it’s a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out — and spring will come soon. “These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad. “The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries. These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem — they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Animals are cleverer than humans. B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow. C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed. D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter. 29. What does the second paragraph talk about? A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world. C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations. 30. Which is a benefit of these traditions? A. They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support. C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea behind the traditions? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain. D Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone. A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together, 74 percent, according to statistics (数据) from the report. “I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in down town West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She return s to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said. Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeep er with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流).“I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.” That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report. 32. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about? A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service. 33. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch? A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work. C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report. 34. Why is Mazoleny mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To show the popularity of the bar. B. To stress the significance of work. C. To give an example of healthy eating. D. To explain another reason for the phenomenon. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The tendency to having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection. C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology. 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。 Have you ever thought of the reasons why we had better learn a second language?

I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part! But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you’re so good at it.” “You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I’m not good at any of it.” “In that case, I’m in trouble,” she joked, “because you’re the one I stand behind and copy in class.” I laughed, “Seriously?” “Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail’s mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time dragging myself to karate for a while after that I missed Abigail so much. Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation. “It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said. “So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).” I suddenly realized she’d been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate. “This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here?” “My mom’s job in New York didn’t work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.” “That’s the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.” I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Things seemed all right at first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, I simply could not take it anymore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
