Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.
Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.
The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.
Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.
McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”
24. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities?
A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing.
C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues.
25. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean?
A. Changing the aging process.
B. Tasting some overseas food.
C. Decorating the communities.
D. Testing out various methods.
26. Which statement might Carpenter agree with?
A. Seventy is the new twenty.
B. A good start is half the battle.
C. Never teach old dogs new tricks.
D. Passion serves as a driving force.
27. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People
B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People
C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist
D. Community Is the Source of Strength
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非营利组织EngAGE通过在老年社区提供各种免费项目的方式来改变老年人的生活,帮助老年人重焕活力。
24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. (非营利组织EngAGE在许多方面使她的生活方式成为可能,该组织通过在其老年社区提供各种免费的现场节目,包括小说写作、表演戏剧、广播讲故事和艺术表演,使衰老过程恢复生机。)”可知,老人可以在这里学习小说写作、表演戏剧、广播讲故事和艺术表演,由此可知,老年人在EngAGE社区可以学习小说写作知识。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语下句“And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything. (我们继续这样做,几乎什么都试过。)”可知,为了实现目标,他们几乎什么都试过,由此可知,画线短语“throwing spaghetti against the wall”指“测试各种方法”。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. (在卡彭特看来,退休就像上大学,是一个新的阶段,你正试图弄清楚下一步该做什么。这可以是一个起点,有空闲时间尝试不同的东西或重温旧爱。)”可知,在卡彭特看来,退休是一个新的阶段,可以像大学生一样尝试新东西,“Seventy is the new twenty.”意为“七十岁就是二十岁”,可以表达老人也是年轻人这个观点。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段关键句“McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. (McElroy总结道:“EngAGE是一个为老年人提供无尽机会的地方。)”可知,本文主要介绍了非营利组织EngAGE通过在老年社区提供各种免费项目的方式来改变老年人的生活,让老人有更多机会,“EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People”意为“EngAGE:老年人的机会之地”,能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。
C
Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it.
However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days.
I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice!
The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold.
When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule.
For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring.
I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it.
28. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A moving story.
C. A travel guide. D. A diary.
29. How did the author first hear of the book?
A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book.
C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview.
30. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate?
A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields.
C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way.
31. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book?
A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation.
C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了作者对The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry这本书的介绍和评价。
【28题详解】

【29题详解】

【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it. (在这本书中,你不是通过讨论,而是通过阅读来感受人物和他们的生活。)”可知,作者建议大家通过阅读来感受书中人物及其生活,从而真正欣赏这部作品。故选C。

If you are a teenager without a job,you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children a weekly pocket money for doing small housework,but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money,some ideas might be:
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard,considering mangy jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often. Babysitting is always a good way to make money as a teenager,and finding jobs as a babysitter is often easier than finding a job at a stores.
Doing landscaping(绿化)is something that most adults do not like to do,and teens can usually find jobs around their neighbourhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can try raising their own animals such as chickens,and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first ,but if you have a try ,it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.
32. What problem do teenagers have to face when finding a job in local stores?
A. Low pay.
B. Heavy word.
C. Long working hours.
D. Competition with grown-ups.
33. Which of the following is easier for teens form the country if they want to earn extra money?
A. Babysitting. B. Doing landscaping.
C. Selling photos online. D. Raising animals.
34. What can we learn form the text?
A. Most grown-ups hate doing landscaping.
B. Getting a part-time job is hard for teens.
C. Pocket money form parents is often enough for teens.
D. Looking after babies is easier than serving customers in a restaurant.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Necessary Skills to Make Money
B. How Important Is Money to a Teenager
C. How Can a Teenager Make Extra Money
D. Teenagers Should Depend on Themselves
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。青少年往往需要较多零花钱,文章就青少年如何挣取零用钱给出了一些建议。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often. ”可知,在当地商店大都给成年人提供工作,青少年势必要与其竞争工作岗位。D选项“与成年人的竞争”符合文意。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Teens who live in a country area can try raising their own animals such as chickens,and selling them or their products.”可知,乡下的青少年可以尝试养自家的家畜然后进行售卖。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Doing landscaping(绿化)is something that most adults do not like to do”可知,大部分成年人都不喜欢搞绿化,与A选项描述一致。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。本文在第一段的最后点出主题“If you’re wondering how a teenager can make good money,some ideas might be:”下文也是该内容的具体介绍。C选项“青少年如何挣零用钱”符合主题。故选C项。
【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型——引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化。第4小题就是标题判断题型,本文的结构比较清晰简单,只要考生能抓住“青少年如何赚取零用钱”这一主干信息,就不难对文章的大意做出推断。其中A选项“赚钱的必需技巧”,B选项“金钱对于青少年的重要性”,D选项“青少年应该独立自主”都与文章主题不符,由此也可以确定正确答案。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Language Learner Habits to Avoid
Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.
Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning.______36______ Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.
Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. ______37______ You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!
______38______ We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.
Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” _______39_______ And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.
If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. _______40_______
A. Giving in to laziness.
B. Learning to get rid of laziness.
C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.
D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.
E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.
F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.
G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言学习者要避免的几个语言学习习惯,比如总是分心、只是说说而已以及轻易放弃等。
【36题详解】
根据段落主题句“Always being distracted.(总是分心)”可知,该段的主要内容与“分心”有关。空处上一句“Presence is of fundamental importance in learning.(专注对学习至关重要)”介绍“不分心”对学习的重要性,空处下一句“Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.(学习不能弥补注意力的分散——没有什么可以)”也在强调没有什么可以弥补注意力的分散。因此设空处应该同样介绍注意力的重要性。分析选项内容可知,G项“心不在焉的话,你就不会注意到那些能帮助你进步的事情。”符合语境;G项中的that 指代上文中的Presence。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through.(只说不做。如果你不坚持到底,制定计划或谈论你要做什么就没有什么意义了)”以及后文“You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!(你需要言行一致。如果你只是说说而已,也许这与下面提到的其他习惯之一有关!)”本段主要介绍 “只说不做”这一不好的语言学习习惯。空前内容指出只有计划没有行动是没意义的,空后强调了行动的重要性。F项“行动才会产生结果,而不仅仅是靠言语或想法”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
空处为段落主旨句,应与其他段落主旨句在形式上保持一致,同时在内容上应概括介绍一种不好的语言学习习惯。根据下文“We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.(如果我们做的事情不能激励我们,我们都会变得懒惰。谁在追求伴侣的时候会变得懒惰呢?谁会对自己喜欢做的事情偷懒呢?懒惰是需要改变的信号。强迫自己坚持只会持续很长时间,在它让位于更多的懒惰之前)”可知,本段主要介绍“懒惰”相关的内容。因此A项“屈服于懒惰”概括了本段主旨。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.”(放弃。托马斯·爱迪生曾经说过:“成功最可靠的方法就是再试一次。”)”空前内容提到Thomas Edison的有关成功的名言。E项“不尝试就永远不会成功——不论你如何定义它。”可以承接上文;succeed和Success是同根词复现。同时,E项中的(it) never comes与下文的it comes是对比的逻辑关系。故选E。
【40题详解】
空处上一句“If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.(如果你正在做这些,我的建议是更仔细地看看你是否可以摆脱这些做法)”鼓励人们要摆脱上文中提到的不良习惯,D项“一旦你这样做了,你就会向着更好的方向前进。”承接上文内容(do指代上文的 to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices)。故选D。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will ______56______ (probable) say that they go to learn languages, history, science and some other knowledge. That’s quite true, but do you know ______57______ they learn these things?
We send our children to school to prepare them ______58______ the future when they grow up and have to work for _____59_____ (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that _____60_____ only reason why they go to school?
There is more in education than just ____61____ (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man _____62_____ really knows how to learn will always be _____63_____ (success), because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able _____64_____ (teach) others how to do it in the best way. So the purpose of schools is not to teach languages, history, science, etc., but to teach ______65______ (student) the way to learn.
【答案】56. probably
57. why 58. for
59. themselves
60. the 61. learning
62. who##that
63. successful
64. to teach
65. students
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了上学的原因,孩子们上学不仅是为了学习语言、数学、历史等知识,更重要的是学会如何学习。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:你也许会说他们要去学习语言、历史、科学和一些其他的知识。修饰动词say用副词作状语,所给词是形容词,其副词形式是probably。故填probably。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句连词。句意:那的确是对的,但你知道为什么他们要学这些东西吗?本句中why引导宾语从句,并在句中充当原因状语,故填why。
【58题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:我们送孩子上学让他们为未来做好准备,那时他们长大不得不为自己工作。动词短语prepare sb. for sth.让某人为某事做好准备。句中the future做介词for的宾语,故填for。
【59题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:我们送孩子上学让他们为未来做好准备,那时他们长大不得不为自己工作。主语宾语都是“they”,宾语用反身代词themselves做介词for的宾语,表示强调。故填themselves。
【60题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:但那是他们上学的唯一理由吗?句中使用定冠词the修饰名词短语only reason,表示特指。故填the。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意:教育不仅仅是学习事实。介词than后,learn用动名词形式,故填learning。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:真正知道如何学习的人将会成功的,因为当他必须做新的事情时,他不仅能够自己做好,还能教别人如何以最好的方式去做。本句定语从句的先行词a man,指人,在从句中做主语,用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:真正知道如何学习的人将会成功的,因为当他必须做新的事情时,他不仅能够自己做好,还能教别人如何以最好的方式去做。句中形容词successful和will be构成系表结构,故填successful。
【64题详解】
考查不定式。句意:真正知道如何学习的人将会成功的,因为当他必须做新的事情时,他不仅能够自己做好,还能教别人如何以最好的方式去做。固定短语be able to do sth.能够做某事,teach用不定式形式,故填to teach。
【65题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:所以学校的目的不是教语言、历史、科学等,而是教学生学习的方法。根据常识可知,不止一个学生,应该使用复数名词students做teach的宾语。故填students。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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 woke up early on my birthday, excited to go to school and see my friends. Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other.
I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight.
“Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right?” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!”
Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底).
“Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated.
I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.”
I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else.
After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.”
“Do you know why he sold them?”
“Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated.
I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned home barefoot (赤脚的) and my parents were surprised.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. Out came a kid, calling himself Samuel. After greeting, I came straight to the point, asking why the shoes went to the thrift shop. From Samuel’s hesitant words, I knew the fact that his family needed money badly because of his father’s sudden illness. Thus, Samuel had to give up the precious birthday gift. Moved by what he said, I took off the shoes and handed them to Samuel without hesitation, wishing his family all the best. Tears in eyes, Samuel thanked me again and again.
Paragraph 2:
I returned home barefoot and my parents were shocked. Before they could say anything, the whole story came pouring out. “The amazing shoes have been back to the owner, Samuel! There’s special meaning to him!” I asked my parents to forgive me for my immediate action without referring to their opinions. Instead of scolding (训斥) me, my parents went over and hugged me tightly, praising me for what I had done. Later on, I got another special pair of shoes for my birthday. Such a “small” but beautiful memory inspired me to be a better person.

Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.
Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.
The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.
Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.
McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”
24. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities?
A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing.
C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues.
25. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean?
A. Changing the aging process.
B. Tasting some overseas food.
C. Decorating the communities.
D. Testing out various methods.
26. Which statement might Carpenter agree with?
A. Seventy is the new twenty.
B. A good start is half the battle.
C. Never teach old dogs new tricks.
D. Passion serves as a driving force.
27. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People
B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People
C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist
D. Community Is the Source of Strength

Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it.
However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days.
I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice!
The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold.
When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule.
For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring.
I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it.
28. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A moving story.
C. A travel guide. D. A diary.
29. How did the author first hear of the book?
A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book.
C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview.
30. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate?
A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields.
C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way.
31. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book?
A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation.
C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences.
D

67. 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 woke up early on my birthday, excited to go to school and see my friends. Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other.
I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight.
“Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right?” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!”
Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底).
“Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated.
I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.”
I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else.
After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.”
“Do you know why he sold them?”
“Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated.
I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned home barefoot (赤脚的) and my parents were surprised.
