I’m here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated States last year. I must admit that at first America was a big culture shook for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school. I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn’t miss home or feel lonely. However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. For example, they often say they are “under the weather” when they are ill. Their everyday English is very different from what we learn in China. Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home. School was a big shoock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair! Anyway, I have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey. It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. Now I understand more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well. 14. What exciting experience did Brad have at Halloween? A. He went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. B. He had a big dinner with a huge turkey. C. He played in the snow with his friends. D. He played baseball with his friends. 15. According to the passage, we know that ________. A. Brad Li has been to America before B. the Hursts organized many activities for Brad to improve his English C. Brad found it hard to understand American idioms D. Brad preferred American food to Chinese food 16. What do you think the passage is? A. A novel. B. A speech. C. An interview. D. A notice. 17. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Colorful life at school B. Living in another country C. Staying with a host family D. Good memories with friends 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Brad Li作为交换生在美国的经历和感受。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter.”可知，Brad在万圣节时穿着哈利·波特的服装去参加了一个派对。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms”可知，Brad发现理解美国的习语很困难。故选C。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据“My name is Brad Li. I’m here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated States last year.”可知，本文是Brad Li在做一个关于他作为交换生在美国经历的演讲。故选B。 【17题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“My name is Brad Li. I’m here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated States last year.”及全文壳子，本文主要讲述了Brad Li在美国的生活经历和感受，所以最好的标题是“在另一个国家的生活”。故选B。 C ①We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes. ② Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces… All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. ③ Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In the cartoon film Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. ④ The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. ⑤ Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 18. How does the writer explain the relationship between squares and characters’ personalities? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By raising a question. D. By giving an example. 19. Which picture does the underlined word “triangle” refer to? A. B. C. D. 20. Which of the following is the structure of the article?（①＝Para 1,②＝Para 2……） A. B. C. D. 21. What is the text mainly about? A. Why different shapes represent different things. B. What makes kids fascinated by heroes in films. C. What different shapes represent in different films. D. How cartoons make different colors and shapes 【答案】18. D 19. A 20. A 21. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在电影中不同形状的含义。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the cartoon film Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses...Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.”可知，作者解释卡通人物的个性与方形的关系是靠举例子。故选D。 【19题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way.”及“And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.”可推知，此处意为最愤怒的形状是三角形。故选A。 【20题详解】 篇章结构题。根据第一段“We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life...different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.”可知，第一段提出文章话题，第二、三、四段，分别介绍圆形、正方形和三角形与人物的联系，第五段进行总结，所以A项符合文章结构。故选A。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life...different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.”及全文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了在电影中不同形状的含义。故选C。 D As soon as Bassanio and Graziano left for Venice, Portia Arold Lorenzo said that she and Nerissa were going to stay in a convent until their husbands came back.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。节选自《威尼斯商人》，主要讲述了Portia女扮男装去威尼斯的计划。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第1段“As soon as Bassanio and Graziano left for Venice, Portia Arold Lorenzo said that she and Nerissa were going to stay in a convent until their husbands came back.”、“ She asked Lorenzo and Jessica to look after the palace and the servants until she came back.”、第2段“ She told him to go to Padua and find her friend, Bellario. She gave him a letter to give to Bellario...Bring them to the ship that goes to Venice...The servant hurried away with the letter,”以及第3段“She told Nerissa that their husbands would not recognize them because they were going to disguise themselves as men.”可知，正确的事件顺序是：b.

Reporter: What was the best part of your visit, Julia and Roddy? Julia and Roddy: The tour of the Film Park. Reporter: What did you like most about the Film Park tour? Julia: The Dinosaur Jungle was my favourite. It was hot and smelt like a real jungle. We saw some baby dinosaurs. Then a really big one appeared. Although it was only a model, it looked very real! I almost jumped out of my skin! Roddy: I really liked the Great Wave. It was wonderful. Everything was quiet. Then suddenly we saw a huge wave coming towards us. There was a terrible noise, and the wave seemed to come over the top of us, but we didn’t get wet at all! I don’t know how they did it. Reporter: Did you see any famous stars at the film park? Roddy: No, we didn’t, but we did visit a film set after the tour. The crew were shooting a scene showing some students in a school. They needed some more actors for the scene. To cut a long story short, the director chose me to appear in the film. Reporter: Oh, really? Did you enjoy working as an actor, Roddy? Roddy: Yes, I did. It was really interesting. Reporter: Did you have any difficulty in acting? Roddy: To be honest, it was a piece of cake! 11. Julia means ______ by saying the underlined sentence “I almost jump out of my skin!”.

B My name is Brad Li. I’m here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated States last year. I must admit that at first America was a big culture shook for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school. I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn’t miss home or feel lonely. However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. For example, they often say they are “under the weather” when they are ill. Their everyday English is very different from what we learn in China. Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home. School was a big shoock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair! Anyway, I have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey. It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. Now I understand more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well. 14. What exciting experience did Brad have at Halloween? A. He went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. B. He had a big dinner with a huge turkey. C. He played in the snow with his friends. D. He played baseball with his friends. 15. According to the passage, we know that ________. A. Brad Li has been to America before B. the Hursts organized many activities for Brad to improve his English C. Brad found it hard to understand American idioms D. Brad preferred American food to Chinese food 16. What do you think the passage is? A. A novel. B. A speech. C. An interview. D. A notice. 17. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Colorful life at school B. Living in another country C. Staying with a host family D. Good memories with friends C ①We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes. ② Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces… All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. ③ Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In the cartoon film Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. ④ The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. ⑤ Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 18. How does the writer explain the relationship between squares and characters’ personalities? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By raising a question. D. By giving an example. 19. Which picture does the underlined word “triangle” refer to? A. B. C. D. 20. Which of the following is the structure of the article?（①＝Para 1,②＝Para 2……） A. B. C. D. 21. What is the text mainly about? A. Why different shapes represent different things. B. What makes kids fascinated by heroes in films. C. What different shapes represent in different films. D How cartoons make different colors and shapes D As soon as Bassanio and Graziano left for Venice, Portia Arold Lorenzo said that she and Nerissa were going to stay in a convent until their husbands came back. She told him she wanted to prepare herself for marriage. She asked Lorenzo and Jessica to look after the palace and the servants until she came back. Lorenzo was very happy to do this for her.

I will talk about the battles I have won. I will tell lies about the women who fell in love with me. I’ll tell people that I refused their love and that they cried and that some of them even died of sadness.
