What is a good excuse to ask for some time off? At your school, sickness may be the only one. But in British schools, family events are also well-accepted ones. The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK has written new guidelines about students asking for leave. They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings or funerals (葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission. Otherwise, they could have got a fine of 60 pounds (about 600 yuan) or faced court. Family events were not proper excuses to get permission.
Many parents complained about this rule.
“Taking family events is very important for children’s growth and that is a lesson the schools cannot ever teach our children.” John Hemming, chairman of Parents Want a Say Organization, told The Independent.
The new change supports this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events. It’s now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China, however, many students rarely have time off for family events.
“That’s part of the reason for the generation gap (代沟) between parents and children,” Guo Hongxia, a researcher at National Institute of Education Sciences, wrote in China Education Daily.
4. In Chinese schools ________ is a good excuse to ask for time off.
A. any excuse B. only sickness
C. school sport D. family events
5. In the UK now, parents won’t be allowed to take out their children out of school because of ________.
A. family weddings B. family funerals
C. fishing organization D. visiting an ill relative
6. Before 2013, ________ could get a fine or face court after taking children out without permission in the UK.
A. Parents Want a Say B. the head teachers of the school
C. children’s teachers D. children’s parents
7. According to the passage, we know that ________.
A. in the UK, there’s a big generation gap between parents and children
B. in China, many students seldom have time off for family events
C. there’s no difference between the rules of taking time off in the world
D. all the students aren’t allowed to take time off for family events
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是中国和英国学生上课请假理由的区别,英国学生可以因为家庭活动请假而中国学生不可以。

细节理解题。根据第一段的“They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings or funerals (葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.(他们将允许父母带孩子离开学校参加家庭婚礼、葬礼或看望生病的亲戚。)”可知,现在在英国,父母不能因为钓鱼活动而把孩子带出学校,故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission.

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his living room and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.
He went downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up the tea things in the kitchen, “These new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need to be cut short by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother finished washing up, she went upstairs to her son’s room and cut the trousers short by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.
Later, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shorted the trousers by two inches.
The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too,remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upstairs with her scissors, needle, and thread(剪子,针和线),and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.(他的母亲和姐妹们都很忙,没有一个人说话。)”可知,当年轻人让母亲和姐妹们给他剪短裤子后,没有给他一个答复的原因是因为她们都在忙,没空回答。故选B。

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
12. What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”?
A. The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B. The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C. Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D. The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B. The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C. The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D. The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
14. How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron?
A. From a strange dream. B. By asking for the public.
C. Through their discussion. D. By studying the Eiffel Tower.
15. What can we infer about the new Olympic medals?
A. They are innovative. B. They are light.
C. They have six sides. D. They are golden-colored.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown”paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut. (每一个新的奥运奖牌上都有一块埃菲尔铁塔的铁,尽管标志性的“埃菲尔铁塔棕色”油漆已经被去掉了。这些碎片被塑造成六边形,这是“法国的形状”。此外,还有“巴黎2024”字样、奥运五环和奥运会徽,会徽看起来像一束火焰,或者是一个短发女人的脸。)”可知,本段主要介绍了奥运奖牌上面的埃菲尔铁塔的碎片被制成六边形的形状、并刻上字和奥运五环等,因此可知,本段介绍了新的巴黎奥运奖牌上的埃菲尔铁塔碎片设计。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?’” (他们是怎么想到这个主意的?巴黎奥组委设计负责人约阿希姆·朗辛告诉媒体:“我们多次讨论设计方案,并意识到有一个世界闻名的标志,那就是埃菲尔铁塔。我们对自己说,‘嘿,如果我们找到埃菲尔铁塔运营公司,看看是否有可能把埃菲尔铁塔的一部分融入到奖牌中呢?’”)”可知,设计者们是在讨论得到的这个设计奖牌的想法。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower. (官方公布了将在今年夏季巴黎奥运会上颁发的金、银、铜牌,每一枚奖牌都有一个独特的纪念品:埃菲尔铁塔上的废铁碎片。)”以及纵观全文可知,法国把埃菲尔铁塔的碎片经过加工设计镶嵌到了奥运奖牌中,这是其他国家没有的,因此推断新的奥运奖牌是独特、新颖的。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章概述了人类为了揭示宇宙奥秘而进行的太空探索活动,提到了一些重要的里程碑事件,并强调了尽管存在困难和灾难,人们仍然相信继续进行太空探索的重要性。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他们制造交通工具将勇敢的人送入太空。vehicle是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应使用复数形式,故填vehicles。
【38题详解】

【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:尽管困难重重,科学家们希望未来的发现不仅能让我们理解宇宙,还能帮助我们更好地生存下去。discovery是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应使用复数形式,故填discoveries。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中做宾补,使用非谓语动词,因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作,填动词不定式,且因enable sb to do sth为固定短语,意为“使某人能够做某事”,故填to understand。

One day, Emma’s mother brought Emma to her favorite steak house (牛排餐厅). She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!”
“Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
“Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?”
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
“No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother.
“Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car.
“Of course, you can,” her mother agreed.

【答案】范文
Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy. She greeted him with a warm smile and handed him the plate of food. On receiving the food, the man could hardly conceal his excitement and thanked her joyfully. Meanwhile, Emma sat down beside him, engaging in a heartfelt conservation. Witnessing the moving scene, the mother felt a sense of satisfaction.
As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. Moved and delighted, her mother gave her a big hug and praised her for extending a helping hand to the homeless man outside. With another large plate of steak ordered on the table, a surge of happiness and warmth running Emma, she was so relieved that she tasted the steak happily. At that moment, the mother realized that Emma had taught her an invaluable lesson-the joy of giving. While the steak may have been Emma’s favorite, Emma understood the importance of sharing and making a difference in someone else’s life.

What is a good excuse to ask for some time off? At your school, sickness may be the only one. But in British schools, family events are also well-accepted ones. The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK has written new guidelines about students asking for leave. They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings or funerals (葬礼) or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission. Otherwise, they could have got a fine of 60 pounds (about 600 yuan) or faced court. Family events were not proper excuses to get permission.
Many parents complained about this rule.
“Taking family events is very important for children’s growth and that is a lesson the schools cannot ever teach our children.” John Hemming, chairman of Parents Want a Say Organization, told The Independent.
The new change supports this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events. It’s now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China, however, many students rarely have time off for family events.
“That’s part of the reason for the generation gap (代沟) between parents and children,” Guo Hongxia, a researcher at National Institute of Education Sciences, wrote in China Education Daily.
4. In Chinese schools ________ is a good excuse to ask for time off.
A. any excuse B. only sickness
C. school sport D. family events
5. In the UK now, parents won’t be allowed to take out their children out of school because of ________.
A. family weddings B. family funerals
C fishing organization D. visiting an ill relative
6. Before 2013 ________ could get a fine or face court after taking children out without permission in the UK.
A. Parents Want a Say B. the head teachers of the school
C. children’s teachers D. children’s parents
7. According to the passage, we know that ________.
A. in the UK there’s a big generation gap between parents and children
B. in China, many students seldom have time off for family events
C. there’s no difference between the rules of taking time off in the world
D. all the students aren’t allowed to take time off for family events

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his living room and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.
He went downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up the tea things in the kitchen, “These new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need to be cut short by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother finished washing up, she went upstairs to her son’s room and cut the trousers short by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.
Later, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shorted the trousers by two inches.
The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too,remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upstairs with her scissors, needle, and thread(剪子,针和线),and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.
You can imagine the look on the young man’s face when he put the trousers on the next morning.

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
12. What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”?
A. The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B. The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C. Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D. The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B. The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C. The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D. The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
14. How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron?
A. From a strange dream. B. By asking for the public.
C. Through their discussion. D. By studying the Eiffel Tower.
15. What can we infer about the new Olympic medals?
A. They are innovative. B. They are light.
C. They have six sides. D. They are golden-colored.

One day, Emma’s mother brought Emma to her favorite steak house (牛排餐厅). She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!”
“Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
“Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?”
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
“No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother.
“Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car.
“Of course, you can,” her mother agreed.
