Things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by? It’s so easy to forget things you have. If we don’t use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that’s not just the things in your home— technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind. We’ve learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday. You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop （旧货店）. Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up? Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change. Today could be a good day to visit your older families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up. Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff. 27. What is Old Stuff Day? A. A day to throw away old things. B. A day to follow new technology. C. A day to get together with families. D. A day to enjoy and reuse old things. 28. From paragraph 3, we know that ________. A. age brings people new things B. people love buying new things C. people always clean up old stuff D. old stuff is still valuable and useful 29. Which of the following is a proper way to deal with old stuff? A. Breaking them into pieces. B. Sending them to charity shops. C. Forgetting them in some places. D. Turning them into waste things. 30. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to make people ________. A. realize value of old stuff B. explore new technology C. produce more old things D. remember family history D Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?” It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future. What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are. So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile. 31. What does the underlined word “react” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A. 回应 B. 道歉 C. 报告 D. 建议 32. Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 33. What is the most important to leave good impressions? A. Shaking hands. B. Stating your name. C. Dressing nicely. D. Wearing a smile. 34. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out. C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. The First Impression Does Count B. Smiling Makes the First Impression C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions D. Impressions Decide Who You Are 五、任务型阅读。阅读短文，并按要求完成16~20题。 Our school is No.1 Middle School. It isn’t a big one with a long history, but I'm lucky that I am a student of this school.

It is all about old stuff. Things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by? It’s so easy to forget things you have. If we don’t use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that’s not just the things in your home— technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind. We’ve learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday. You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop （旧货店）. Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up? Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change. Today could be a good day to visit your older families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up. Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff. 27. What is Old Stuff Day? A. A day to throw away old things. B. A day to follow new technology. C. A day to get together with families. D. A day to enjoy and reuse old things. 28. From paragraph 3, we know that ________. A. age brings people new things B. people love buying new things C. people always clean up old stuff D. old stuff is still valuable and useful 29. Which of the following is a proper way to deal with old stuff? A. Breaking them into pieces. B. Sending them to charity shops. C. Forgetting them in some places. D. Turning them into waste things. 30. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to make people ________. A. realize value of old stuff B. explore new technology C. produce more old things D. remember family history 【答案】27. D 28. D 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【分析】文章介绍了旧物日的意义以及在这一天人们可以做的一些事情以及旧东西该如何处理。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“March 2 is Old Stuff Day（旧物日）. It is all about old stuff. Things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it.”可知，旧货日是一个享受并重复使用旧东西的日子。故选D。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“We’ve learned to value what age can bring to things...It’s certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm.”可知，本段主要是说旧东西是有用的有价值的，故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop.”可知，旧东西可以送到慈善商店，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“March 2 is Old Stuff Day（旧物日）.

What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are. So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile. 31. What does the underlined word “react” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A. 回应 B. 道歉 C. 报告 D. 建议 32. Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 33. What is the most important to leave good impressions? A. Shaking hands. B. Stating your name. C. Dressing nicely. D. Wearing a smile. 34. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out. C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. The First Impression Does Count B. Smiling Makes the First Impression C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions D. Impressions Decide Who You Are 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述第一印象的重要性，怎样给他人留下好的第一印象以及微笑和积极的心态给人们带来的好处。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future可知，第一次见到你时，别人对你的第一印象可能会影响他将来如何对待你或对你的反应。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds可知，更有趣的是，大脑在大约三秒钟内就吸收了所有的信息来产生第一印象，所以第二段表达其他人对你形成第一印象需要多长时间，故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you可知，然而，给人留下良好第一印象最重要的工具是你的脸。微笑，反应迅速，看上去很开心，这些都会给人留下积极的印象，尤其是那些不认识你的人，所以微笑很重要，故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things可知，此外，微笑和保持积极的情绪有助于你了解和更好地理解新事物。所以积极的态度能帮助我们，故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据but it is true --- the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future以及下文可知，主要讲述如何给人留下好想印象，包括微笑、保持积极的心态，这些都起着重要的作用，故选A。 【点睛】解答词义猜测题时，可以使用如下技巧：1、根据上下文来猜测词义；2、通过同义词或近义词来猜测词义；3、通过构词法来猜测词义；4、通过定义或释义来猜测词义；5、通过句法功能来猜测词义；6、通过转折和因果关系来猜测词义；7. 通过生活常识来猜测词义。对于这类题采取“代入法”也非常有效，即将备选答案逐一代入文中，哪一个选项能使句子的意思通顺、连贯，且与上下文的内容一致，哪一个选项就是该题的正确答案。 五、任务型阅读。阅读短文，并按要求完成16~20题。 Our school is No.1 Middle School. It isn’t a big one with a long history, but I'm lucky that I am a student of this school. Ten years ago, there were not any teaching buildings and not a library in our school.
