He has seen many great changes in the country over the past 20 years, especially on trains. At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to China with his family. In the following years, he and his parents lived in a few cities. They also traveled a lot during holidays. However, traveling itself wasn’t always relaxing. When his family moved from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, they took the old green train and spent one and a half days on the trip. Now with the high- speed train, life becomes much easier. Long and boring trips in the past have become shorter. Also, the modern trains are more comfortable. “A coin (硬币) wouldn’t move at all on the table of a fast moving train.” He said excitedly. Patterson was glad to see these changes in China, but he also wondered how they happened. When he read a poem about China’s role model Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer. Jiao was seriously ill at that time, but he still kept working to help people till the end of his life. Jiao devoted (献身) himself to improving people’s life. “He was really great. I learn a lot from him,” said Patterson. Patterson now works as a Confucius Institute volunteer at Lancaster University. “I’m proud to act as a bridge between the UK and China and help the two peoples know about each other’s cultures better.” 38. How old is Cameron Patterson now? A. 8 years old. B. 15 years old. C. 28 years old. D. 33 years old. 39. What’s Patterson’s purpose by using the words about a coin? A. To show the modern trains are more comfortable. B. To show that long trips in the past have become shorter. C. To tell readers that life in China has become much easier. D. To draw readers’ attention to the changes of Chinese trains. 40. When did Patterson understand the reason why China has changed a lot? A. When he traveled with his parents. B.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一记叙文，文章以英国学生Cameron Patterson的视角介绍了中国近年来的飞速发展。他现在作为中英两国文化交流的桥梁，他感到骄傲、自豪。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He has seen many great changes in the country over the past 20 years, especially on trains.”和“At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to China with his family.”可知，Cameron在8岁时来到中国，已在中国生活了20年，所以现在是28岁。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Also, the modern trains are more comfortable. ‘A coin (硬币) wouldn’t move at all on the table of a fast moving train.’”可知，一枚硬币在快速行驶的火车的桌子上根本不会动，作者通过举例子的方式说明了现在火车的舒适度大大提升。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“he read a poem about China’s role model Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer.”可知，Cameron通过阅读焦裕禄的诗理解了中国变化的原因。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to China with his family.”；“When his family moved from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, they took the old green train and spent one and a half days on the trip.”；“When he read a poem about China’s role model Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer.”；”和“Patterson now works as a Confucius Institute volunteer at Lancaster University.”可知，Patterson先从威尔士搬到中国(a)，然后乘座旧绿皮火车从杭州到广州(d)，接着读到了关于焦裕禄的诗©，最后在兰卡斯特大学成为孔子学院的志愿者(b)。所以正确顺序是a-d-c-b。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m proud to act as a bridge between the UK and China and help the two peoples know about each other’s cultures better.”可知，Patterson喜欢充当中英文化交流的桥梁。故选C。 C Do you know when restaurants were invented? The first restaurants were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today. The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls and people didn’t order food from a menu. Everyone used to share the food from big bowls. Scientists believed that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didn’t have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants. Later, restaurants began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than one million people lived in the city of ancient Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way, a very big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didn’t have to eat the same food as everyone else. For the next several centuries, there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food in the street or at inns—small hotels. Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There were more options in menus, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, this kind of restaurants began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world. Now, restaurants are everywhere. You can buy different kinds of foods. You can have food sent to your door. But remember it wasn’t always like that. 43. Who shared the food from big bowls together in restaurants? A. People in ancient Rome. B. People in ancient Hangzhou. C. People in ancient Paris. D. People around the world. 44. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How people made a living in ancient Hangzhou. B. What restaurants were like in ancient Hangzhou. C. When people ate in restaurants in ancient Hangzhou. D. Why people ate in restaurants in ancient Hangzhou. 45. When did people start opening restaurants in Paris? A. In the early 1100s. B. In the 1300s. C. In the middle of the 1700s. D. In the 1800s. 46. What does the underlined word “options” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Requests. B. Rules. C. Trades. D. Choices. 47. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Development of Restaurants B. Different Restaurants in Different Countries C. Differences among Chinese Restaurants D. Traditions of Serving Food in Restaurants 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. C 46. D 47. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了餐馆的发展史。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.”和“Everyone used to share the food from big bowls.”可知，最早的餐馆出现在古希腊和古罗马，每个人过去都会分享大碗里的食物。故选A。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段，特别是“All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way, a very big street in the city.”可知，该段主要介绍了在古代杭州，人们为什么在餐馆吃饭。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris.”可知，18世纪中期，巴黎开始开设餐馆。故选C。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“There were more options in menus”并结合选项可知，菜单上由更多的选择。故选D。 【47题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章可知，本文主要介绍了餐馆的发展史。故选A。 D The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea No.1: ① Inventing means creating something“ new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea No.2: ② There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for music. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea No.3: ③ Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.

He has seen many great changes in the country over the past 20 years, especially on trains. At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to China with his family. In the following years, he and his parents lived in a few cities. They also traveled a lot during holidays. However, traveling itself wasn’t always relaxing. When his family moved from Hangzhou to Guangzhou, they took the old green train and spent one and a half days on the trip. Now with the high- speed train, life becomes much easier. Long and boring trips in the past have become shorter. Also, the modern trains are more comfortable. “A coin (硬币) wouldn’t move at all on the table of a fast moving train.” He said excitedly. Patterson was glad to see these changes in China, but he also wondered how they happened. When he read a poem about China’s role model Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer. Jiao was seriously ill at that time, but he still kept working to help people till the end of his life. Jiao devoted (献身) himself to improving people’s life. “He was really great. I learn a lot from him,” said Patterson. Patterson now works as a Confucius Institute volunteer at Lancaster University. “I’m proud to act as a bridge between the UK and China and help the two peoples know about each other’s cultures better.” 38. How old is Cameron Patterson now? A. 8 years old. B. 15 years old. C. 28 years old. D. 33 years old. 39. What’s Patterson’s purpose by using the words about a coin? A. To show the modern trains are more comfortable. B. To show that long trips in the past have become shorter. C. To tell readers that life in China has become much easier. D.

However, they were very different from restaurants today. The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls and people didn’t order food from a menu. Everyone used to share the food from big bowls. Scientists believed that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didn’t have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants. Later, restaurants began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than one million people lived in the city of ancient Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way, a very big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didn’t have to eat the same food as everyone else. For the next several centuries there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food in the street or at inns—small hotels. Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There were more options in menus, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, this kind of restaurants began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world. Now restaurants are everywhere. You can buy different kinds of foods. You can have food sent to your door. But remember it wasn’t always like that. 43. Who shared the food from big bowls together in restaurants? A. People in ancient Rome. B. People in ancient Hangzhou. C. People in ancient Paris. D. People around the world. 44. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How people made a living in ancient Hangzhou. B. What restaurants were like in ancient Hangzhou. C. When people ate in restaurants in ancient Hangzhou. D. Why people ate in restaurants in ancient Hangzhou. 45. When did people start opening restaurants in Paris? A. In the early 1100s. B. In the 1300s. C. In the middle of the 1700s. D. In the 1800s. 46. What does the underlined word “options” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Requests. B. Rules. C. Trades. D. Choices. 47. Which of the following can be the best title? A Development of Restaurants B. Different Restaurants in Different Countries C. Differences among Chinese Restaurants D. Traditions of Serving Food in Restaurants D The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea No.1: ① Inventing means creating something“ new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea No.2: ② There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for music. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea No.3: ③ Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床). 48. What is important for Mozart’s creativity except for his talent for music? A. Being a music teacher. B. Making friends with Edison. C. Practising for hours every day. D. Failing from time to time. 49. Match the title with each part. a. Inventors are born, not made. b. Inventors are always old people. c. An invention has to be something completely new. A. ①-a; ②-b; ③-c B. ①-c; ②-a; ③-b C. ①-b; ②-a; ③-c D. ①-c; ②-b; ③-a 50. What can we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. His father was an inventor. B. He went blind when he was 15. C. He did something great for blind people. D. He once performed in a show and fell into the safety net. 51. Who does the underlined“ him” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Mozart. B. Thomas Edison. C. Louis Braille. D. George Nissen. 52. What’s the writer’s opinion about inventing? A. Anybody can be an inventor. B. Inventors are born with special talents. C. An invention has to be something completely new. D. It’s impossible for the young to be inventors. 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 Dear Joe, I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. ____53____ We didn’t have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends.
