Solving puzzles is like solving mysteries, so he likes working on puzzles too. He also likes solving problems. Kevin can usually solve any mystery, puzzle or problem. One day Kevin’s mom was trying to find her glasses. Without her glasses, she could not drive. This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend’s house. It was also a mystery and a puzzle. Kevin really wanted to solve this mystery, so he sat down with his mom. “Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?” he asked. “I had them on while I was watching the news this morning,” she said. “Where were you watching the news?” asked Kevin. His mom thought for a minute, and then she answered that she was in the sitting room. She remembered sitting in her favorite chair and taking off her glasses when the news ended. She thought she had placed her glasses on the table, but they weren’t there. “Are you sure you didn’t put them on again after the morning news?” asked Kevin. “Maybe I did,” his mom replied. “Let’s walk through your day, Mom,” said Kevin. Kevin had his mom describe everything she remembered doing during the day so far. She mentioned watching the news, making breakfast, folding laundry, working in her home office and then gardening.

He looked under the cushion （垫子） of her favorite chair, in the kitchen, in the laundry basket, in her office and around the garden. He didn’t find her glasses. Kevin didn’t want to give up, so he looked in each place again and he looked even harder. When he went around the kitchen again, he opened the cabinets（橱柜）instead of just looking on the counters.

Besides understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time. Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first step of learning. It usually involves things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs. To really understand another culture people have to go beyond the first step. This is a challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call"culture" is hard to see. Culture is like an iceberg. Imagine in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people. When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You watch new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They can be seen easily and quickly. The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions (设想)， communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture influences much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves understanding the hidden part of culture. 27. To really understand another culture, people should . A. learn the rules of language B. learn the hidden culture C. visit some local people D. live with some local people 28. Which of the following does the writer agree? A. Communication styles can be easily seen and learned B. Language learning is more important than culture learning C. Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time D. People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months. 29. The passage is mainly about . A. learning about culture. B. learning about people C. the hidden part of the iceberg D. fluency in another language 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A 【解析】 【分析】本文主要介绍了其它国家语言文化的学习，由于差异性，语言学习和文化学习结合在一起，可能需要很长时间。包括文化的学习以及文化学习方面所遇见的问题。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first step. This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.要真正了解另一种文化，人们必须超越第一步。这是一个挑战，因为通常很难知道要学什么。我们称之为“文化”的很多东西都很难看到。可知，我们要学习隐藏的文化，故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.语言学习和文化学习是同时进行的，可能需要很长时间。可知作者的观点和C选项一致，故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章，全文以“culture”为主线进行。主要讲述了其它国家语言文化的学习，由于差异性，语言学习和文化学习结合在一起，可能需要很长时间。后文具体介绍了不同国家语言文化的深刻内涵。故选A。 D Social Media… the Highs and Lows Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life. However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Now researchers have found that too much time on social media may indeed have some negative( 消极的 ) effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after browsing social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became. There are a number of reasons for this. When browsing social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive(积极的) stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them worried about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络暴力 ) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments(评论) about them. The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to deal with the relationship between our online and offline lives properly. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives. 30. According to the passage we know __________. A. spending more time on social media makes people more enjoyable B. researchers haven’t found anything negative about social media C. it is common for young people to share their lives online D. the world is not so connected like before 31. The words “have concerns about” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “__________”. A. feel worried about B. look forward to C. speak highly of D. get used to 32. The writer says that social media can make people unhappy because __________. A. different people make different comments B. there are many negative stories and bad pictures C. they compare positive pictures to their own lives D. the number of “likes” is larger than they expected 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To ask us to protect ourselves from “cyber bullying”. B. To advise us to keep away from the Internet to live a happy life. C. To remind us of posting positive stories and good pictures online. D. To tell us to keep a balance between our online and offline lives. 【答案】30. C 31. A 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【分析】本文介绍了当今的一种社会问题和现象，那就是社交媒体的日益流行，对人们生活的影响越来越大，作者通过写这篇文章来提醒人们要用正确的心态去对待社交媒体所展示的内容。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day.”可知，对于今天的年轻人来说，每天在网上分享生活照片和互动是完全正常的，故选C。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly”可知，随着社交媒体的日益流行，人们担心公开的信息对自己的影响，所以“have concerns about”表示“担心”，与“feel worried about”同义，故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed”可知，社交媒体会让人们不快乐，因为他们会把那些积极的照片跟自己的现状进行比较，故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“This research shows us that it is important to deal with the relationship between our online and offline lives properly”可知，本文主要目的是告诉我们要平衡好在线和离线生活之间的关系，故选D。 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read I a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 34. Why some people say reading is not as important as it was? ________________________________ 35. What can photographs give people? ________________________________ 36. What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? ________________________________ 37. Why is reading important? What do/will you do to practice reading? ________________________________ 【答案】34. Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 35. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 36. Reading a novel requires imagination. 37. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We/I will read every day to practice reading. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了阅读的重要性和必要性，鼓励人们养成阅读的习惯。 【34题详解】 根据“Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was.”和“These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television.”可知，一些人认为今天的阅读不像以前那么重要了，是因为现在我们有照片、电影、广播和电视等各种获取信息的媒介。故填Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 【35题详解】 根据“Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen.”可知，照片可以让我们非常清楚地了解我们从未见过的地方和人。故填Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 【36题详解】 根据“But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.”可知，读小说比看一部优秀的电影有一定的优势，读小说需要想象力。故填Reading a novel requires imagination. 【37题详解】 根据“Reading is very important for information and pleasure.”可知，阅读对于获取信息和娱乐是非常重要的；再根据“Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become.”可知，我们应该每天阅读来练习阅读技能，读得越多，我们才能成为更好的读者。故填Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We/I will read every day to practice reading. 五、从下面两个题目中在选一据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 38. 发明改变了世界，改变了我们的生活，如手机(mobile phone)、汽车(cars)、 地图(map)等。 假如你是李华，你校英语社团正在开展线上国际交流活动。其公众号计划做关于“发明改变生活”的系列推送。请你用英文给公众号投稿，推荐一个你认为重要的发明，并说明推荐理由。 提示词语： important, change, develop 提示问题： ● What invention do you want to recommend (推荐)? ● Why do you want to recommend it? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Many great inventions have changed our life.

B Kevin loves to read mystery books because he likes to try to solve the mystery himself before he gets to the end. Solving puzzles is like solving mysteries, so he likes working on puzzles too. He also likes solving problems. Kevin can usually solve any mystery, puzzle or problem. One day Kevin’s mom was trying to find her glasses. Without her glasses, she could not drive. This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend’s house. It was also a mystery and a puzzle. Kevin really wanted to solve this mystery, so he sat down with his mom. “Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?” he asked. “I had them on while I was watching the news this morning,” she said. “Where were you watching the news?” asked Kevin. His mom thought for a minute, and then she answered that she was in the sitting room. She remembered sitting in her favorite chair and taking off her glasses when the news ended. She thought she had placed her glasses on the table, but they weren’t there. “Are you sure you didn’t put them on again after the morning news?” asked Kevin. “Maybe I did,” his mom replied. “Let’s walk through your day, Mom,” said Kevin. Kevin had his mom describe everything she remembered doing during the day so far. She mentioned watching the news, making breakfast, folding laundry, working in her home office and then gardening. It was after gardening that she started looking for her glasses. After hearing about his mom’s day, Kevin retraced her path through the house and yard. He looked under the cushion （垫子） of her favorite chair, in the kitchen, in the laundry basket, in her office and around the garden. He didn’t find her glasses. Kevin didn’t want to give up, so he looked in each place again and he looked even harder. When he went around the kitchen again, he opened the cabinets（橱柜）instead of just looking on the counters. Kevin solved the mystery, the puzzle and the problem. He found his mom’s glasses in the drawer with the silverware. “Thank you, Kevin,” said his mom, “I wouldn’t be able to see anything without you.” 24 What was Kevin’s mom trying to find? A. Her glasses. B. Her books. C. Her chairs. D. Her keys. 25. Where did Kevin find them for her mom? A. On the table. B. In the yard. C. In the drawer. D. On the Internet. 26. How did Kevin help her mom find them? A. By reading mystery books. B. By following her day’s path. C. By looking for it in his house with his friends. D. By walking around his house with his mom. C Fluency in another language is a dream of a newcomer to another country. Besides, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time. Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first step of learning. It usually involves things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs. To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first step. This is a challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call"culture" is hard to see. Culture is like an iceberg. Imagine in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people. When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You watch new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They can be seen easily and quickly. The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions (设想)， communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture influences much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves understanding the hidden part of culture. 27. To really understand another culture, people should . A. learn the rules of language B. learn the hidden culture C. visit some local people D. live with some local people 28. Which of the following does the writer agree? A. Communication styles can be easily seen and learned B. Language learning is more important than culture learning C. Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time D. People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months. 29. The passage is mainly about . A. learning about culture. B. learning about people C. the hidden part of the iceberg D. fluency in another language D Social Media… the Highs and Lows Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life. However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Now researchers have found that too much time on social media may indeed have some negative( 消极的 ) effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after browsing social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became. There are a number of reasons for this. When browsing social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive(积极的) stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them worried about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络暴力 ) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments(评论) about them. The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to deal with the relationship between our online and offline lives properly. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives. 30. According to the passage, we know __________. A. spending more time on social media makes people more enjoyable B. researchers haven’t found anything negative about social media C. it is common for young people to share their lives online D. the world is not so connected like before 31. The words “have concerns about” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “__________”. A. feel worried about B. look forward to C. speak highly of D. get used to 32. The writer says that social media can make people unhappy because __________. A. different people make different comments B. there are many negative stories and bad pictures C. they compare positive pictures to their own lives D. the number of “likes” is larger than they expected 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To ask us to protect ourselves from “cyber bullying”. B. To advise us to keep away from the Internet to live a happy life. C. To remind us of posting positive stories and good pictures online. D. To tell us to keep a balance between our online and offline lives. Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read I a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 34.
