Doughnuts are round pieces of deep-fried dough, usually topped with powdered sugar, chocolate or other sweets. This year, June 4 was National Doughnut Day in the US. It falls on the first Friday of June every year. On this day, popular doughnut stores like Dunlin’s doughnuts and Krispy Kreme give away free doughnuts to people. Doughnuts used to be a comfort food for soldiers. In 1917, some Americans went to France to help soldiers during World War I. To cheer up soldiers who were missing home, these people used the things they could find—flour, sugar, lard, baking powder, cinnamon (肉桂), and milk—to make doughnuts. They fried them in the soldiers’ helmets! In 1928, the group started selling doughnuts to raise money for people. National Doughnut Day was born. These days, doughnuts are often seen in American breakfast tables. My favourite doughnuts are the ones that my mum makes every autumn. Topped with cinnamon and brown sugar, they’re sweet treat that I looked forward to every year when I was a kid. Doughnuts aren’t the healthiest snack, but they’re surely one of the best. 18.

So, the different living habits of people around the country has always been an interesting topic. Now, one living habit is being talked about a lot: the way that northerners and southerners shop at food markets. People from southern China say they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 250 grams of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is normal, reported China Daily. Also, you can buy a very small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel (削皮) and cut the fruit. But shop owners in the north rarely offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different climates. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up (囤货) on food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese people buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad. 22. What do we know about the fruit stores in southern China? A. They offer free boxes and baskets. B. They sell many fruits together. C. They can help prepare the fruit for customers. D. They sell fruit in packs of two. 23. What is the big difference in the shopping habits of the two groups? A. What foods they can buy. B. How much the foods cost. C. How they spend money. D. How long they store fresh food. 24. The underlined words “due to” mean . A. leading to B. instead of C. because of D. apart from 25. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How the weather is different in China B. Chinese people’s differences in buying foods C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese people D. Buying different things across China 【答案】22. C 23. D 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，本文主要介绍了中国南北方人们不同的购物习惯，这种不同的生活习惯可能是因为中国南北气候的差异。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Also, you can buy a very small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel (削皮) and cut the fruit.”可推知，南方的水果店可以帮助顾客把水果切好，准备好。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up (囤货) on food, especially for the long winter.”以及“But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese people buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.”可知，南北方购物习惯的差异就是“他们储存新鲜食物的时间”。故选D。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The difference could be due to the different climates.”可知，此处应该表达这种差异可能是由于不同的气候，因此划线单词的意思是“由于”。故选C。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国南北方人们不同购物习惯，这种不同的生活习惯可能是因为中国南北气候的差异。因此最佳标题是“中国人购买食物的差异”。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (共40分) 四、补全对话(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 根据下面的对话情景，在空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Hello!

This one is all about cars-their history, how they work, and some of the strange cars that run along the road. I really enjoyed reading about early cars. Cars these days seem much less exciting. Full of Beans by Peggy Thomas Henry Ford made cars. But did you know he also liked to invent with soybeans (大豆)? It started when he went to look for a cleaner auto fuel (燃料). His soybean lab came up with many new things, like soy cloth, car paint, plastic (which Ford used inhis cars) and auto fuel. Racing Driver by Giles Chapman If you dream of being a race car driver, this will be a good book for you. It is full of useful information about all kinds of race cars and how to drive them.

Racing Driver B Jin Yong is the pen name of Louis Cha Leung-yumg (查良镛). He was the most important Chinese martial arts novelist (武侠小说家). About six years ago, he passed away at the age of 94 in Hong Kong. During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts novels. His books sold well around the world. It’s just as the well-known saying goes, “Wherever there are Chinese, you will find Jin Yong’s novels.” With his books, Jin Yong created an imaginary (想象的) world called jianghu. In jianghu, fighting heroes (侠) practice martial arts. But Jin Yong also used some stories from history and traditional Chinese culture to make this world. His stories took place in different dynasties (朝代). He used Chinese poems in his books. This makes his books rich and colorful. However, more importantly, Jin Yong has shaped the values (塑造价值观) of many Chinese people. He once said that “wuxia (martial arts novels) is mainly about xia instead of wu (kung fu)”. The characters in Jin Yong’s books fight for justice (公平) and righteousness (正义). And his readers will always thank him for teaching them these values. 14. When did Jin Yong pass away? A. In 1994. B. In 2000. C. In 2015. D. In 2018. 15. What does the last sentence in Paragraph 2 show about Jin Yong’s books? A. They help people from other countries learn Chinese. B. They are not easy to find in some places. C. They are cheaper than other Chinese books. D. They are very popular among Chinese people. 16. What can people read about in Jin Yong’s books? a. stories from history b. traditional Chinese culture c. Chinese poems d. world arts A. abc B. bcd C. abd D. acd 17. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Popular characters from Jin Yong’s books. B. The values in Jin Yong’s books. C. The readers’ ideas about kung fu. D. The meaning of reading. C Have you ever had a doughnut? Doughnuts are round pieces of deep-fried dough, usually topped with powdered sugar, chocolate or other sweets. This year, June 4 was National Doughnut Day in the US. It falls on the first Friday of June every year. On this day, popular doughnut stores like Dunlin’s doughnuts and Krispy Kreme give away free doughnuts to people. Doughnuts used to be a comfort food for soldiers. In 1917, some Americans went to France to help soldiers during World War I. To cheer up soldiers who were missing home, these people used the things they could find—flour, sugar, lard, baking powder, cinnamon (肉桂), and milk—to make doughnuts. They fried them in the soldiers’ helmets! In 1928, the group started selling doughnuts to raise money for people. National Doughnut Day was born. These days, doughnuts are often seen in American breakfast tables. My favourite doughnuts are the ones that my mum makes every autumn. Topped with cinnamon and brown sugar, they’re sweet treat that I looked forward to every year when I was a kid. Doughnuts aren’t the healthiest snack, but they’re surely one of the best. 18. When is National Doughnut Day in the US? A. On June 4. B. On June 5. C. On the first Thursday of June. D. On the first Friday of June. 19. National Doughnut Day was born after . A. Americans went to France to help soldiers in 1917 B. people started to fry doughnuts in soldiers’ helmets C. the group started to raise money by selling doughnuts in 1928 D. Dunlin’s doughnuts and Krispy Kreme began to give away free doughnuts 20. What does the underlined word “helmets” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 头盔 B. 衣服 C. 腰带 D. 靴子 21. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Para 4? A. The writer doesn’t like doughnuts at all. B. The writer warns us not to eat much snack. C Doughnuts are among the writer’s favourite snack. D. Doughnuts are the best breakfast food of all. D China covers a large area and has a big population. So the different living habits of people around the country has always been an interesting topic. Now, one living habit is being talked about a lot: the way that northerners and southerners shop at food markets. People from southern China say they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 250 grams of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is normal, reported China Daily. Also, you can buy a very small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel (削皮) and cut the fruit. But shop owners in the north rarely offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different climates. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up (囤货) on food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese people buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad. 22. What do we know about the fruit stores in southern China? A. They offer free boxes and baskets. B. They sell many fruits together. C. They can help prepare the fruit for customers. D. They sell fruit in packs of two. 23. What is the big difference in the shopping habits of the two groups? A. What foods they can buy. B. How much the foods cost. C. How they spend money. D. How long they store fresh food. 24. The underlined words “due to” mean . A. leading to B. instead of C. because of D. apart from 25. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How the weather is different in China B. Chinese people’s differences in buying foods C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese people D.
