Christmas Day is for eating,drinking,watching bad TV-and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realize your husband’s aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.
Presentbuying can be a minefield: from how much to spend,to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don’t want, to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to a little something.
Here, FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only thing that’s red this Christmas is Santa Claus’ nose.
“If you’ve just started seeing someone you don’t need to spend a fortune” says dating advisor James Preece.
“It’s much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that’s a little bit different.£20 is about the right amount, with a maximum of £50 if you can afford it.”
“Or you don’t even need to go that far”, says relationship expert and founder of BeLoveCurious.com, Helen Rice.“Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out.Feel free to give the person you’re dating something thoughtful, just don’t spend a lot of money.”
“If you’re in a longterm relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation,”adds James.“You don’t need to go craze, but it’s a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them.”
“It’s also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than big one.Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping,so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy.”
4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph in this article?
A. To arrest the attention of readers. B. To criticize greed of mean couples.

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News. “Nobody messes with the piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes long, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk—her mom doesn’t have milk money but I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $ 30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸 盒). The total adds up to about $ 180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine didn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” said Jackie. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
8. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank?
A. She wanted to play with the coins.
B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
D. She hoped to show off her savings in class.
9. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words?
A. Touched. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Relieved.
10. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience?
A. Many hands make light work.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
11. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Jackie’s Piggy Bank B. Small Coins, Big Deeds
C. A Moved Grandmother D. The Piggy Bank and Milk
D
Lego is considering a brick(积木)rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste.The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的)materials by 2030 and is investing significant resources in finding alternatives.
Tim Brooks,vice-president responsible for sustainability,said the company was“totally open”to the idea of the product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem.“What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?”Mr.Brooks added.
“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at the beginning.” Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the fewest resources. He said many would “probably never see the light of day”and that there is no current plan to try out the rental plan.
Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint for growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment.It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.
So far,the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made of plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane.The green trees,plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but currently make up only 1%— 2% of total plastic elements produced.Henrik Nielson,a production supervisor(主管)in Lego’s factory,said last year:“We need to learn again how to do this.”
Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than 100,000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives.It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.
12. What is Lego making great efforts for?
A. promote its brick rental plan B. explore ways to reduce plastic waste
C. raise its production efficiency D. develop new products
13 What does Mr.Brooks think about Lego’s brick rental plan?
A. It is well under way. B. It is totally useless.
C. It has a long way to go. D. It goes against Lego’s interests.
14. How does the writer tell of Lego’s stress of reducing plastic waste?
A. By means of comparison. B. By means of examples.
C By means of figures. D. By means of classification.
15. What is Lego’s attitude toward developing non-plastic alternatives?
A. Defensive. B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Determined.

I went to a supermarket to pick up some things. I placed my purse in the baby carry-on chair and turned my back to add some cabbages into a bag for supper. The cart(购物车)was right next to me one minute ago, then gone!
As I looked around, I did not see an abandoned cart nor mine. I searched the fruit and vegetable area, and every cart but with no luck, no purse! My heart started pounding as I realized that someone may have taken my purse.
I walked to a member of staff, explaining what happened. He ran to get the manager. The manager listened carefully and told me she would go into her office and check the camera to see what happened on the video and call the police if necessary. I felt very nervous then. I told them my purse had my keys, license, phone, identification, etc. Meanwhile, the staff said he would check carts. The manager ran to her office at the front of the store to check the camera.
A young lady had just walked by asking if I was OK. I said, “Not good, but thanks.” I asked if she had a cell phone to call my phone to check if someone would pick it up. But no one answered it. I thanked her. She said she would accompany(陪伴)me till I found my purse. I couldn’t thank her enough.
After a while, the manager came back and told me she had seen an old woman in the camera video take my cart when I was in the meat section. Not until that time did I remembered that there was indeed a woman near me picking out goods. She must have dragged my cart by accident!
I rushed to the meat section, followed by the manager and the young lady. To my relief, I found the old woman without any effort.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Christmas Day is for eating,drinking,watching bad TV-and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realize your husband’s aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.
Presentbuying can be a minefield: from how much to spend,to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don’t want, to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to a little something.
Here, FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only thing that’s red this Christmas is Santa Claus’ nose.
“If you’ve just started seeing someone you don’t need to spend a fortune” says dating advisor James Preece.
“It’s much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that’s a little bit different.£20 is about the right amount, with a maximum of £50 if you can afford it.”
“Or you don’t even need to go that far”, says relationship expert and founder of BeLoveCurious.com, Helen Rice.“Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out.Feel free to give the person you’re dating something thoughtful, just don’t spend a lot of money.”
“If you’re in a longterm relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation,”adds James.“You don’t need to go craze, but it’s a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them.”
“It’s also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than big one.Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping,so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy.”

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News. “Nobody messes with the piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes long, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk—her mom doesn’t have milk money but I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $ 30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸 盒). The total adds up to about $ 180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine didn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” said Jackie. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
8. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank?
A. She wanted to play with the coins.
B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
D. She hoped to show off her savings in class.
9. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words?
A. Touched. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Relieved.
10. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience?
A. Many hands make light work.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
11. What is the best title for this passage?

C. A Moved Grandmother D. The Piggy Bank and Milk

Lego is considering a brick(积木)rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste.The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的)materials by 2030 and is investing significant resources in finding alternatives.
Tim Brooks,vice-president responsible for sustainability,said the company was“totally open”to the idea of the product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem.“What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?”Mr.Brooks added.
“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at the beginning.” Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the fewest resources. He said many would “probably never see the light of day”and that there is no current plan to try out the rental plan.
Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint for growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment.It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.
So far,the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made of plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane.The green trees,plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but currently make up only 1%— 2% of total plastic elements produced.Henrik Nielson,a production supervisor(主管)in Lego’s factory,said last year:“We need to learn again how to do this.”
Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than 100,000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives.It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.
12. What is Lego making great efforts for?
A. promote its brick rental plan B. explore ways to reduce plastic waste
C. raise its production efficiency D. develop new products
13. What does Mr.Brooks think about Lego’s brick rental plan?
A. It is well under way. B. It is totally useless.
C. It has a long way to go. D. It goes against Lego’s interests.
14. How does the writer tell of Lego’s stress of reducing plastic waste?
A. By means of comparison. B. By means of examples.
C. By means of figures. D. By means of classification.
15. What is Lego’s attitude toward developing non-plastic alternatives?
A. Defensive. B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Determined.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是Lego公司正在考虑一项积木租赁计划,尽可能减少塑料垃圾,打算到2030年所有积木都将使用可持续材料,并投入大量资金和人力开发新的能源来替代现在的塑料资源。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的)materials by 2030 and is investing significant resources in finding alternatives.(这家丹麦玩具制造商承诺到2030年用可持续材料制造所有积木,并投入大量资源寻找替代品。)”可知,到2030年,所有积木都将使用可持续材料,并在努力地寻找可替代资源,说明乐高公司正在努力的想办法减少塑料污染。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at the beginning.” Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the fewest resources.(“有很多技术思考需要做。我们才刚刚开始。”布鲁克斯先生说,乐高正在探索几个想法,以期在消耗最少资源的同时从产品中产生最高价值。)”中布鲁克斯所说可知,乐高的积木租赁计划要想落实,需要进行大量的技术思考,探索几个想法,由此可见,要实现这一计划还有很长的路要走。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but currently make up only 1%— 2% of total plastic elements produced.”(去年年底,绿色的树木、植物和花朵首次出现在乐高玩具中,但目前只占塑料制品总产量的1% - 2%)可知,乐高在讲述减少塑料垃圾的压力时列举了一些数据。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段“The company has invested more than 100,000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.(该公司已投资超过1亿欧元,并雇用了100人研究非塑料替代品。它的目标是到2025年将其所有包装排除在垃圾填埋场之外。)”可知,该公司投巨资和雇佣大量人力来研究现在积木塑料的替代品,并计划到2025年垃圾填埋场里内没有所料包装,由此可推断,乐高公司下定决心要开发塑料的替代品。故选D项。

Customs on either side of the Atlantic

When someone knocks into you.
If someone bumps into an American, the victim will most likely look the accidental aggressor in the face and expect an apology. If however, ___17___. chances are that the victim will say "sorry" before the other can make his or her own apology.
___18___
Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.
When you don't finish your food.
When dining out at a restaurant, ___19___ They think the food is somehow "tainted" once they’ve poked at it with a knife and fork. In the US, wrapping it up to take home is a standard practice.

【答案】16. C 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了英国和美国的风俗习惯。
【16题详解】
由“We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language. But in fact, ___1___. as BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans”可知,众所周知,英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。近日,BBC就刊登了一篇文章,题为“八种情境:英美人的不同表现”。所以小题1既要与上文为转折关系,又要承接下文。故C选项“探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣”切题。故选C项。
【17题详解】
由“chances are that the victim will say "sorry" before the other can make his or her own apology.”可知,他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。所以小题2是条件状语从句的从句,说明如果被撞的碰巧是英国人,他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。且话题一致。故E选项“如果被撞的碰巧是英国人”切题。故选E项。
【18题详解】
由“Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.”可知,享用晚餐时,英国人虽然不会像热门英剧《唐顿庄园》中那样人人身着晚礼服,但在去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆。所以本段主要在说晚宴穿什么也就是小题3本段的标题所要说明的内容。故A选线“晚宴穿什么”切题。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由“When dining out at a restaurant, ___4___ They think the food is somehow "tainted" once they’ve poked at it with a knife and fork.”可知,外出就餐时,因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后便被“玷污”了。所以小题4要补充出时间状语从句的主句,也要承接下文。故F选项“英国人不会将剩饭剩菜打包带走”切题。故选F项。
【20题详解】
由“Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout way”可知,甚至在看见司机绕路时。所以小题5要补充是让步状语从句的主句,说明甚至在看见司机绕路时,会怎么办。故D选项“他们也会一言不发 ”切题。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I went to a supermarket to pick up some things. I placed my purse in the baby carry-on chair and turned my back to add some cabbages into a bag for supper. The cart(购物车)was right next to me one minute ago, then gone!
As I looked around, I did not see an abandoned cart nor mine. I searched the fruit and vegetable area, and every cart but with no luck, no purse! My heart started pounding as I realized that someone may have taken my purse.
I walked to a member of staff, explaining what happened. He ran to get the manager. The manager listened carefully and told me she would go into her office and check the camera to see what happened on the video and call the police if necessary. I felt very nervous then. I told them my purse had my keys, license, phone, identification, etc. Meanwhile, the staff said he would check carts. The manager ran to her office at the front of the store to check the camera.
A young lady had just walked by asking if I was OK. I said “Not good, but thanks.” I asked if she had a cell phone to call my phone to check if someone would pick it up. But no one answered it. I thanked her. She said she would accompany(陪伴)me till I found my purse. I couldn’t thank her enough.
After a while, the manager came back and told me she had seen an old woman in the camera video take my cart when I was in the meat section. Not until that time did I remembered that there was indeed a woman near me picking out goods. She must have dragged my cart by accident!
I rushed to the meat section followed by the manager and the young lady. To my relief, I found the old woman without any effort.

【答案】参考范文:

I could not believe she had been adding items and not noticed she had the wrong cart and purse. Finally, I dug out my purse at the very bottom of the cart. She seemed embarrassed and apologized tome sincerely. I smiled to her and was about to leave when I heard she talked to herself, “But where is my cart? My purse is just in that cart!”
I accompanied the old lady to the manager’s of fice to check the camera again. Luckily, we saw the cart was placed in the corner of the meat section and no one noticed. She thanked me and the manager and then went back for her cart. After thanking the manager, I walked out with my purse and I saw the young lady immediately. I showed my gratitude again. It was a surprise to be on the receiving end from the kindness of strangers. I assured her I would never forget her kindness and assistance and would “pay it forward”.
