This is why he’s on the Star Junior Cooks TV programme. ②The ten-year-old New Yorker likes cooking. He can make fantastic soups, salads and the best cakes. But there are many other children on the show, too. And they are all very good. More and more young people are interested in cooking. Many of them learn it from their parents. Others watch special cooking videos for children on YouTube. In many cities, there are special cooking classes for young people. Some of them are for children from the age of three! But what must you do to become a star cook? Of course, it’s important that you like cooking and really do well in it. But there are some rules. You must be nine years old or more to be on Star Junior Cooks. “We must wash our hands before we start cooking,” Harry says. “And of course we mustn’t put them in our mouths. A cook doesn’t do that! And we must be very careful when using fire.” The show starts. ③Harry is excited. He knows he’s an excellent cook. This time he makes tomato soup, some salads, steak and carrot cake. ④The people in the studio love Harry’s food. He stays on the show. The show is over at 5 pm. Harry is happy and a little tired. He goes home. It’s time to do his homework. 19. How do American young people learn cooking? A. By eating with their parents. B. By watching cooking videos on the website. C. By having some farming classes. D. By joining the Star Junior Cooks TV show. 20. Who can most probably be a star cook in the programme? A. Jenny washes her hands before eating. B.

Which underlined se ntence in the passage shows that Harry is an excellent cook? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了10岁的哈利想要成为一名星级厨师，参加了美国的一档烹饪节目，并介绍了成为星级厨师的条件。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many of them learn it from their parents. Others watch special cooking videos for children on YouTube.”可知，人们可以通过父母学习厨艺，也可以看网上专业的厨艺视频学习。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You must be nine years old or more to be on Star Junior Cooks. ‘We must wash our hands before we start cooking,’ Harry says. ‘And of course we mustn’t put them in our mouths. A cook doesn’t do that! And we must be very careful when using fire.’”可知，要成为星级厨师，首先年龄在九岁以上，在烹饪前要洗手，不能把手放嘴巴里，使用火的时候必须小心。选项D“吉姆，一个擅长烹饪的中学生”最符合要求。故选D。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He wants to be one now”、“The ten-year-old New Yorker likes cooking.”、“Harry is excited.”以及“The people in the studio love Harry’s food.”可知，前三句都代表了亨利的想法和情绪，第四句表明人们对于哈利的食物的喜爱，从侧面表现哈利做的食物好吃。故选D。 C ①Pain is a common experience in everyday life. What causes pain? Pain hurts us, but could it be good for us? Is pain in fact helpful? It is really important to know more about it. ②Pain is the body’s way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body. For example, if you break your leg, pain stops you from walking on it. If you didn’t feel any pain, you would continue walking around and you could hurt your leg more. But why does it continue to hurt even after you have stopped walking on your hurt leg? That is because your body needs you to relax in order to get better. ③But how does pain work? We have special cells (细胞) in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies, too. When something goes wrong, they send messages to the brain (大脑). The brain then makes us feel pain so we will stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Put your hand on a hot cup, and your hand’s cells tell your brain. You are able to quickly move your hand away from the cup. At the same time, your brain gets the message that something is wrong and you need to care for your hand. It all happens in less than a second. ④But did you know that the brain itself cannot feel pain? In fact, when doctors cut into the brain, they do not put the person to sleep. Because the person does not feel any pain in the brain, it is thought to be much safer if the person is awake while the doctor works. 22. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Pain helps protect our body. B. Pain makes our body relaxed. C. Pain stops us from walking. D. Pain makes our legs stronger. 23. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cells. B. Eyes. C. Bodies. D. Hands. 24. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】22. A 23. A 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了关于疼痛的一些信息。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Pain is the body’s way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body.”可知，第二段主要介绍疼痛帮助保护我们的身体。故选A。 【23题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“We have special cells (细胞) in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies, too. When something goes wrong, they send messages to the brain (大脑).”可知，当出现问题时，细胞会向大脑发送信息，故选A。 【24题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段总述告诉我们了解疼痛很重要；第二段介绍疼痛帮助保护我们的身体；第三段介绍疼痛是如何产生的；第四段介绍大脑自己感受不到疼痛，因此本文的结构是总—分，故选C。 D Billy Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, begging (乞讨) for money for food. Every day, as he sat thinking about his life, he sometimes heard the sound of a coin or two dropping into his cup. One day, the noise was louder than usual. A little later, when he looked into the cup, he could not believe what he saw. At the bottom was a shining gold ring (戒指). Billy wanted to sell the ring at a pawn shop and that’s what he did. To his surprise, he could get $ 660. Billy thought long and hard. Was this a mistake? It was more money than he’d seen in a long time. But then he thought about his grandfather. He always taught him to do the right thing. Billy changed his mind and kept the ring. Maybe one day its owner (主人) would return. Two days later,a young woman called Sarah came to him and asked if he found anything unusual in his cup. Billy reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. When he saw the smile on Sarah’s face, he knew he did the right thing. She explained that when she dropped the coins into his cup, she forgot there was a ring in her wallet. But the story doesn’t end there. Sarah and her husband wanted to help Billy. They posted the story on the Internet and called on people to raise money for him. Soon, they had more than $ 12,000. With their help, Billy no longer spends his days begging. He has a home and a job now. The story also made the local news and he met his two sisters again after over 16 years. 25. What did Billy do on the streets of Kansas City? A. He sold food. B. He asked for money. C. He made cups. D. He collected rings. 26. What was Billy’s first idea to do with the ring? A. To return the ring. B. To wear the ring on his finger. C. To sell the ring. D.

A. ①②③④ B. ③②①④ C. ③②④① D. ①④②③ 28. What can you learn from Billy in the story?（用约12个词回答） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】25. B 26. C 27. B 28. A small kind action may bring a good result. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了比利沿街乞讨，一天一位女士不小心把戒指掉进了他的杯子，他最后把戒指还给这位女士，女士深受感动，于是为他募捐，最终他有了家也有了工作。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Billy Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, begging for money for food.”可知，比利沿街乞讨是要钱和食物。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Billy wanted to sell the ring at a pawn shop and that’s what he did.”可知，他的第一个念头是卖掉戒指。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One day, the noise was louder than usual. A little later, when he looked into the cup, he could not believe what he saw. At the bottom was a shining gold ring”和第二段“Billy changed his mind and kept the ring. Maybe one day its owner would return.”和最后一段“Sarah and her husband wanted to help Billy. They posted the story on the Internet and called on people to raise money for him.”以及最后一段“The story also made the local news and he met his two sisters again after over 16 years.”可知，正确顺序为③②①④。故选B。 【28题详解】 通读全文可知，本文介绍了比利沿街乞讨，一天一位女士不小心把戒指掉进了他的杯子，他最后把戒指还给这位女士，女士深受感动，于是为他募捐，最终他有了家也有了工作。所以我们可以从他身上学到：一个小小的善举可能会带来好的结果。故填A small kind action may bring a good result. 第二节（共4小题，每小题1分，共4分） 阅读下面材料，从下面所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确的选项，将其序号填入各小题。有一项多余。 Fion a Melntyre is a taxi driver in London.

B Harry doesn’t want to be a star cook when he’s 20. ①He wants to be one now. This is why he’s on the Star Junior Cooks TV programme. ②The ten-year-old New Yorker likes cooking. He can make fantastic soups, salads and the best cakes. But there are many other children on the show, too. And they are all very good. More and more young people are interested in cooking. Many of them learn it from their parents. Others watch special cooking videos for children on YouTube. In many cities, there are special cooking classes for young people. Some of them are for children from the age of three! But what must you do to become a star cook? Of course, it’s important that you like cooking and really do well in it. But there are some rules. You must be nine years old or more to be on Star Junior Cooks. “We must wash our hands before we start cooking,” Harry says. “And of course we mustn’t put them in our mouths. A cook doesn’t do that! And we must be very careful when using fire.” The show starts. ③Harry is excited. He knows he’s an excellent cook. This time he makes tomato soup some salads, steak and carrot cake. ④The people in the studio love Harry’s food. He stays on the show. The show is over at 5 pm. Harry is happy and a little tired. He goes home. It’s time to do his homework. 19. How do American young people learn cooking? A. By eating with their parents. B. By watching cooking videos on the website. C. By having some farming classes. D. By joining the Star Junior Cooks TV show. 20. Who can most probably be a star cook in the programme? A. Jenny washes her hands before eating. B. Tom, a four-year-old boy, likes cooking a lot. C. Susan loves watching the Star Junior Cooks. D. Jim,a middle school student, is good at cooking. 21. Which underlined se ntence in the passage shows that Harry is an excellent cook? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ C ①Pain is a common experience in everyday life. What causes pain? Pain hurts us, but could it be good for us? Is pain in fact helpful? It is really important to know more about it. ②Pain is the body’s way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body. For example, if you break your leg, pain stops you from walking on it. If you didn’t feel any pain, you would continue walking around and you could hurt your leg more. But why does it continue to hurt even after you have stopped walking on your hurt leg? That is because your body needs you to relax in order to get better. ③But how does pain work? We have special cells (细胞) in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies, too. When something goes wrong, they send messages to the brain (大脑). The brain then makes us feel pain so we will stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Put your hand on a hot cup, and your hand’s cells tell your brain. You are able to quickly move your hand away from the cup. At the same time, your brain gets the message that something is wrong and you need to care for your hand. It all happens in less than a second. ④But did you know that the brain itself cannot feel pain? In fact, when doctors cut into the brain, they do not put the person to sleep. Because the person does not feel any pain in the brain, it is thought to be much safer if the person is awake while the doctor works. 22. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Pain helps protect our body. B. Pain makes our body relaxed. C. Pain stops us from walking. D. Pain makes our legs stronger. 23. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cells. B. Eyes. C. Bodies. D. Hands. 24. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. D Billy Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, begging (乞讨) for money for food. Every day, as he sat thinking about his life, he sometimes heard the sound of a coin or two dropping into his cup. One day, the noise was louder than usual. A little later, when he looked into the cup, he could not believe what he saw. At the bottom was a shining gold ring (戒指). Billy wanted to sell the ring at a pawn shop and that’s what he did. To his surprise, he could get $ 660. Billy thought long and hard. Was this a mistake? It was more money than he’d seen in a long time. But then he thought about his grandfather. He always taught him to do the right thing. Billy changed his mind and kept the ring. Maybe one day its owner (主人) would return. Two days later,a young woman called Sarah came to him and asked if he found anything unusual in his cup. Billy reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. When he saw the smile on Sarah’s face, he knew he did the right thing. She explained that when she dropped the coins into his cup, she forgot there was a ring in her wallet. But the story doesn’t end there. Sarah and her husband wanted to help Billy. They posted the story on the Internet and called on people to raise money for him. Soon, they had more than $ 12,000. With their help, Billy no longer spends his days begging. He has a home and a job now. The story also made the local news and he met his two sisters again after over 16 years. 25 What did Billy do on the streets of Kansas City? A He sold food. B. He asked for money. C. He made cups. D. He collected rings. 26. What was Billy’s first idea to do with the ring? A. To return the ring. B. To wear the ring on his finger. C. To sell the ring. D.

A. ①②③④ B. ③②①④ C. ③②④① D. ①④②③ 28.
