To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked hard and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses. In many places along their trip, the people there opened their doors to the two boys and gave them food. During the trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts (沙漠), rainforests and mountains. Brooks had to return to the USA in the middle of the trip and Gregg went on traveling without him. Two years, twelve countries, and over 30, 500 km later, Gregg finally arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina, in the south of South America (near Guatemala). Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures on a website. The trip taught both boys a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg’s advice: ★Travel light. The fewer things you have, the less you’ll worry about. ★Don’t plan everything. Then you’ll be more relaxed and happy. ★Be friendly.

It would no longer prepare meals in its own kitchen. Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day. The Ministry of Education (教育部) warns (告诫) against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies (公司) in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so popular? They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable sometimes, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either. In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not always unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. The writer started this passage by ________. A. listing numbers B. asking a question C. giving an example D. showing different opinions 12. Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals? A. Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe. B. Because pre-made meals are too expensive. C. Because no national standards are set for pre-made food. D. Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals. 13. What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 3? A. Quick and convenient. B Tasty and healthy. C. Tasteless and unsafe. D. Worrying and unacceptable. 14. What is the future of pre-made meals? A. It has a long way to go. B. It won’t be popular in the future. C. All the parents will accept the pre-made meals. D. The Ministry of Education will accept the pre-made meals. 15. Where is the passage most likely from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A health report. D. A cookbook. 【答案】11. C 12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是关于学校食堂改为预制食品的决定及其引发的争议。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own kitchen.”可知，文章第一段通过举例子来开始文章的，故选C。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Ministry of Education (教育部) warns (告诫) against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food.”可知，因为预制食品没有国家标准。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, parents’ worries are not without reason.”和“Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.”可知，家长对预制饭菜很担忧而且不能接受。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.”可知，它还有很长的路要走。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要是关于学校食堂改为预制食品的决定及其引发的争议，因此可能来源于报纸。故选B。 Sometimes you are not satisfied (满意的) with yourself, thinking you’re short of (缺乏) beauty, short of money or short of friendship.

When we see a woman in a kimono, we may think ____49____ she is Japanese. If a person always wears yellow or pink clothes, maybe he or she is lively and easy﹣going. We get ideas about people from their clothes. As the saying goes, “You are ____50____ you wear.” 【答案】46. so 47. more 48. from 49. that 50. what 【解析】 【导语】短文主要讲述了衣服的演变和功能。最初，人们穿动物皮毛制成的衣物主要是为了保护自己免受太阳、风、雨和寒冷的侵袭。然而现在，衣服的功能远不止保暖那么简单。服装还能展示一个人的职业、文化、爱好甚至心情。例如，当我们看到有人穿着制服时，我们可以从制服上猜测他的职业;看到有人穿着和服，我们可能会认为她是日本人。如果某人总是穿黄色或粉色的衣服，可能意味着他或她性格活泼、随和。正如谚语所说：“人如其衣。” 【46题详解】 句意：人们开始穿衣服，这样他们就可以保护自己免受阳光、风、雨和寒冷的侵袭。根据“People started to wear…from the sun, wind, rain and cold.”可知，人们穿衣服有很多的目的，so that“目的是……”，引导目的状语从句。故填so。 【47题详解】 句意：但现在，衣服不仅仅是保暖。more than“超过”，符合题意。故填more。 【48题详解】 句意：例如，当我们看到一个穿着制服的人时，我们可以从制服中猜出他的工作。根据“we can guess his job …the uniform”，可知空处应填from。故填from。 【49题详解】 句意：当我们看到一个穿着和服的女人时，我们可能会认为她是日本人。空处为that引导的宾语从句，故填that。 【50题详解】 句意：衣如其人。根据“You are…you wear.”可知，what引导表语从句（what做从句中的宾语），符合题意。故填what。 五、补全对话(5小题, 共10分) 根据下面的对话情景,在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子,使对话的意思连贯、完整。 (Joice and her father are planning where to have dinner on Mother’s birthday). Father: Dear, your mom’s birthday is coming. How about asking her to eat dinner outside? Joice: That sounds great! ____51____? Father: Mile Restaurant is the most popular. It’s also the biggest.

I want to buy a beautiful sweater for her.”可知，此处应是问是否想给妈妈买一件礼物，故填Do you want to buy a gift for your mother。 六、书面表达 56. 饮食也是一种文化。中国的饮食文化丰富多彩，源远流长。假如你是李华，请你写信向你的外国笔友Mark介绍一下中国的特色美食粽子，介绍制作粽子的方法、味道并弘扬中国美食文化。 提示： （1）材料：大米，粽叶（reed leaves），红枣（red dates），蜂蜜，糖； （2）步骤：洗净所有食材；将大米和红枣放入粽叶中，加一些糖；把粽叶折叠（fold）好；然后放入锅（pot）里，烹调约一小时；根据需要加一些蜂蜜。 要求： （1）必须包含提示里所有内容，可适当发挥； （2）100词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Mark, Knowing that you take a great fancy to traditional Chinese food, especially Zongzi, I would love to introduce it to you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】[例文] Dear Mark, Knowing that you take a great fancy to traditional Chinese food, especially Zongzi, I would love to introduce it to you.

Many people dream of going on a travel adventure (冒险) to the Americas (美洲). Most of us keep dreaming, but others ▲ . Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from north to south. He got the idea after he finished a 1,600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg’s friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two boys talked and decided their goal: They would travel from Alaska to Argentina by bike. To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked hard and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses. In many places along their trip, the people there opened their doors to the two boys and gave them food. During the trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts (沙漠), rainforests and mountains. Brooks had to return to the USA in the middle of the trip and Gregg went on traveling without him. Two years, twelve countries, and over 30, 500 km later, Gregg finally arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina, in the south of South America (near Guatemala). Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures on a website. The trip taught both boys a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg’s advice: ★Travel light. The fewer things you have, the less you’ll worry about. ★Don’t plan everything. Then you’ll be more relaxed and happy. ★Be friendly. As one traveler told Gregg, “Always remember that no one wants to fight, cheat, or rob (抢劫) a nice man.” 6. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. give up easily B. make it happen C. find it quite difficult D. think it a great idea 7. Gregg and Brooks started their trip from ________. A. Argentina B. Ushuaia C. Guatemala D. Alaska 8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Gregg and Brooks both cycled from Alaska to Argentina. B. Gregg and Brooks saved money for the trip for quite a long time. C. Gregg and Brooks traveled more than 30, 500 kilometers by bike. D. Brooks went back to the USA from Guatemala. 9. Which is the best word to describe (描绘) Gregg and Brooks? A. Friendly. B. Easy-going. C. Brave. D. Honest. 10. In which part of the newspaper can we read the passage? A. Travelling. B. History. C. School Life. D. Music. Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own kitchen. Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day. The Ministry of Education (教育部) warns (告诫) against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies (公司) in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so popular? They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable sometimes, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either. In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not always unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. The writer started this passage by ________. A. listing numbers B. asking a question C. giving an example D. showing different opinions 12. Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals? A. Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe. B. Because pre-made meals are too expensive. C. Because no national standards are set for pre-made food. D. Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals. 13. What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 3? A. Quick and convenient. B. Tasty and healthy. C. Tasteless and unsafe. D Worrying and unacceptable. 14. What is the future of pre-made meals? A. It has a long way to go. B. It won’t be popular in the future. C. All the parents will accept the pre-made meals. D. The Ministry of Education will accept the pre-made meals. 15. Where is the passage most likely from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A health report. D. A cookbook. Sometimes you are not satisfied (满意的) with yourself, thinking you’re short of (缺乏) beauty, short of money or short of friendship. In fact, all these are not necessary.
