Hidden gardens in London
From nature reserves to community spaces, we’ve dug up some of London’s most secret gardens, where you’ll find pockets of splendid nature and forget about all your worries.
Queen’s Wood
Across the road from the better-known Highgate Wood, there is something more magical and quiet about Queen’s Wood— witness its hilly pathways through the mountain ash and cherry trees. It might be only a few hundred metres from Highgate tube station, but native bluebells and countless species of small animals make this a wonderful retreat.
Phoenix Garden
Behind Charing Cross Road, this is a super spot for a leafy lunchtime break. Look out for frogs and sparrows, which are thriving thanks to an enthusiastic conservation initiative. The garden closed last autumn for redevelopment work but has reopened in time to take advantage of our long-awaited spell of improved weather.
Postman’s Park
A short walk from St Paul’s Cathedral lies one of London’s most touching monuments: George Frederic Watts’s Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice. Within the quiet Postman’s Park, nestled beneath a roof, are just over 50 ceramic plaques(牌匾), each honoring the memory of an ordinary person who lost their life trying to save others.
Red Cross Garden
Originally intended to give Southwark children a space to play, this Victorian garden has been restored to its original design, complete with pond, cottage, bandstand and formal borders. While relaxing in the restored bandstand, it’s hard to imagine the view back in 1887 when it was surrounded by workhouses and factories.
1. Which garden is close to a subway station?
A. Queen’s Wood. B. Phoenix Garden.
C. Postman’s Park. D. Red Cross Garden.
2 What can you do in Postman’s Park?
A. Take photos of old workhouses. B. Swim in the pond.
C. Learn stories about selflessness. D. Enjoy a band show.
3. What do Phoenix Garden and Red Cross Garden have in common?
A. They have got some repair work. B. They were surrounded by factories.
C. They will be temporarily closed. D. They have the same original design.
As the capital of China’s Shaanxi Province, Xi’an’s long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: “If Xi’an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. ”
However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi’an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.
One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda — Xi’an’s most sacred (神圣的) monument — which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda’s scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city’s skyline.
Xi’an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.
A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi’an’s most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum (陵庙) guarded by an entire army.
4. From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi’an is being ploughed into .
A. restoring the monuments B. restoring the Pagoda
C. tourism industry D. exploring the history
5. How many historical sites in Xi’an have been referred to in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. One. D. Six.
6. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park?
A. Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.
B. The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.
C. It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.
D. Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Make a visit to ancient sites at once. B. China’s ancient capital rises again.
C. Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors. D. Take a view in the modern city.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
8. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports. B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.
9. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
10. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sports news. B. Science articles.
C Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
Put your hand over your heart and sit very still. You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.
In Ghana, a country in Africa, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children of Ghana also learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.
For thousands of years in Africa, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?
In West Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher or lower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.
In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.
Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.
Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for the heartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?
12. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. drums beat like our hearts
B. drums have a long history
C. drums are widely used in the world
D. drums are important for many people worldwide
13. From the text, we learn that in Ghana drums________.
A. are not as useful as before B. teach children a lot of things
C. help bring the war to an end D. are used in class by teachers
14. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.
A. how a word can have different sounds
B. how to speak African languages
C. how a drum tells stories
D. how to beat a drum
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Know the history of the drum B. Listen to the story of the drum
C. Beat the drum of life D. Love me, love my drum

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?
Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. ____16____
Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I don’t think so. ____17____ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.
____18____ What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. ____19____ Let’s not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate’s coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.
“I can live for two months on a good compliment (夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. ____20____ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself?” It is amazing how those few words can change a child's outlook... almost immediately.
A. The pen is more powerful than the sword.
B. Is it really reasonable to do something like that?
C. Do they display the attitude that we want to convey?
D. It is important to have your words match your actions.
E. Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
F. Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both.
G. Don’t be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.

I headed off to the doctor for what I thought would be a series of tests but which turned out to be a valuable lesson in not ____29____ everything you read online.

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。
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. Her old Barbie bicycle was just too babyish, and besides, it needed a new tire.
As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, —or so we thought, as she didn’t mention it again. Merrily, we started purchasing the latest fashion—Baby Sitter’s Club dolls—and beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.”
Now we didn’t know what to do. It was just too late, with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. So here we were—Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., having just returned from a wonderful party, looking forward to our evening ahead—hours of wrapping children’s presents, parents’ presents, a brother’s presents and friends’ presents. With Almie Rose and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, lay comfortably in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle, the guilt and the idea that we were parents who would disappoint their child.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and she can trade it for a real one later?” my husband Ron thought.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the package with the clay bike.

(这座维多利亚时代的花园原本是为了给萨瑟克区的孩子们提供一个玩耍的空间,现在已经恢复了原来的设计,包括池塘、小屋、音乐台和正式的边界。当你在修复后的舞台上放松时,很难想象1887年被济贫院和工厂包围时的景象。)”可知,Phoenix Garden和Red Cross Garden共同之处在于它们都有一些修复工作。故选A。
As the capital of China’s Shaanxi Province, Xi’an’s long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: “If Xi’an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. ”
However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi’an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.
One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda — Xi’an’s most sacred (神圣的) monument — which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda’s scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city’s skyline.
Xi’an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.
A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi’an’s most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum (陵庙) guarded by an entire army.
4. From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi’an is being ploughed into .
A. restoring the monuments B. restoring the Pagoda
C. tourism industry D. exploring the history
5. How many historical sites in Xi’an have been referred to in the passage?

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
8. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports. B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.
9. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
10. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sports news. B. Science articles.
C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D

Put your hand over your heart and sit very still. You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.
In Ghana, a country in Africa, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children of Ghana also learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.
For thousands of years in Africa, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?
In West Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher or lower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.
In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.
Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.
Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for the heartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?
12. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. drums beat like our hearts
B. drums have a long history
C. drums are widely used in the world
D. drums are important for many people worldwide
13. From the text, we learn that in Ghana drums________.
A. are not as useful as before B. teach children a lot of things
C. help bring the war to an end D. are used in class by teachers
14. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.
A. how a word can have different sounds
B. how to speak African languages
C. how a drum tells stories
D. how to beat a drum
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Know the history of the drum B. Listen to the story of the drum
C. Beat the drum of life D. Love me, love my drum
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了鼓如何传情达意讲述故事。
12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.(你可能会注意到,你的心跳的声音和鼓的节拍很相似。你的心脏在你出生前就开始跳动,并持续你的一生。因此,鼓的跳动代表了世界各地许多人的生活节奏)”可知,作者用心跳声引入文章主题drum,表面上描述心跳对人类的重要性,实际上是拿心跳和鼓做类比,告诉我们对于世界上的很多人,鼓的重要性犹如心跳的重要性一样。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In Ghana, a country in Africa, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children of Ghana also learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior. (在非洲国家阿富汗,许多学校用鼓而不是钟来展示上课的开始和结束。通过鼓声,加纳的孩子们也了解了他们的历史和文化。他们听到了通过鼓声传来的古老的故事。鼓的故事也教孩子们的游戏、规则和关于行为的课程)”可知,鼓在乌干达不仅可以充当课堂铃声,还可以讲述文化历史和故事。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”. (取决于音高或音调,同样的声音可以有许多不同的含义,例如,当用两个低音说话时,非洲单词“ilu”的意思是“鼓”。当用高低音说话时,“ilu”的意思是“城镇”。)”可知,这个例子是为了说明 “the same sound with different tones have different meanings.(同样的声音可以有许多不同的含义) ”,结合第六段的“Drum language works in the same way.(鼓语言的工作方式也是一样的。相同的音调相同的声音有不同的含义。)”以及第三段的 “But how can drums tell stories?( 但是鼓是如何讲故事呢) 可知,四到七段都是围绕着第三段这个承上启下的问题展开,所以这个例子更深层的作用是告知大家鼓是如何通过音调的高低来传情达意,讲述故事的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通过梳理各段大意和文章结构我们可得出全文重点,第一段讲述鼓对于许多人是重要的,第二段讲述鼓可以教给孩子们很多东西,从而引出第三段讲述鼓可以讲故事,但鼓如何讲故事呢?四到七段讲述鼓如何“讲话”和讲故事。由此可见,全文大部分段落讲述鼓是如何传情达意讲述故事。因此推断B项“倾听鼓的故事”为最佳标题。故选B。

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?
Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. ____16____
Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I don’t think so. ____17____ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.
____18____ What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. ____19____ Let’s not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate’s coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.
“I can live for two months on a good compliment (夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. ____20____ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself?” It is amazing how those few words can change a child's outlook... almost immediately.
A. The pen is more powerful than the sword.
B. Is it really reasonable to do something like that?
C. Do they display the attitude that we want to convey?
D. It is important to have your words match your actions.
E. Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
F. Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both.
G. Don’t be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过一系列的说明,解释了文字和语言的重要性以及对人的影响。作者告诉我们语言对人们有终生的影响,因此我们要鼓励赞美孩子,不要使用刻薄的话讽刺挖苦孩子。
【16题详解】
由上文“Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. (我们社会节奏很快。我们都从一个地方冲到另一个地方,对着慢驶的司机按喇叭,他们可能在车里和孩子们唱歌,或者指出一些有趣的景点。我们今天没有时间做那种傻事。但我们试着对自己说,明天我们会腾出时间玩。到了该好好考虑我们的行为和言语的时候了)”可知,社会节奏快,人们没有时间坐在车里和孩子们唱歌或者指出一些有趣的景点而导致车慢速行驶的事情了,但人们又说会抽出时间玩乐,这是言行不一致的表现,这种言行不一致没有表达我们想要干的事情,因此是时候要言行一致,看看言行一致能否表达我们想要干的事情,承接上文,C选项“它们(我们的言语和行为)是否表现出我们想要表达的态度?”切题,C选项中的“they”对应上文的“our actions and our words”。故选C项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I don’t think so. (你真的想过“行动胜于雄辩”这句话吗?现在想想。如果你说了一件事,做了一件相反的事,你会忽略那些话,只记住那些行动吗?我不这么认为)”和下文“It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile. (同样重要的是,用语言表达感激、爱、认可和幸福,然后用拥抱、拍拍后背或微笑来跟随这些语言)”可知,作者认为“行动胜于雄辩”这句话不正确,因为伴随着言语来行动去表达情感同等重要,说明作者认为言行一致很重要,承接上下文,D选项“言行一致是很重要的。”切题。故选D项。
【18题详解】
由下文“What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. (这一谚语怎么样??好还是不好?单词很有分量,会被记住很多年,尤其是当它们被写下来的时候)”可知,承接下文,该空应该是一句谚语,讲述语言的力量,A选项“笔比剑更有力。”切题,下文中的“Words carry a lot of weight”也解释了这一谚语的含义。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. (刻薄的言辞会伤害你的那一刻和一生。我相信我们每个人都记得有一次,一位朋友发表了一句不友好的评论)”可知,上文讲到刻薄的言辞会伤人,列举朋友说刻薄言语的例子,说明刻薄言语对人的伤害,承接上文,F选项“这些话语会对你和你们之间的关系造成持久的伤害。”说明了刻薄言语对人的伤害,F选项中的“Those words”对应上文的“made an unkind comment”。故选F项。
【20题详解】
由上文““I can live for two months on a good compliment (夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. (马克·吐温说:“我可以靠一句赞美的话活两个月。”当孩子们感到被欣赏和理解时,他们会变得更强壮)”和下文“A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. (要扭转糟糕的一天,一个完美的方法就是表扬你的孩子)”可知,空前空后都讲述赞美的重要性,赞美的话语对孩子的作用,承接上下文,G选项“不要害怕一整天把鼓励的语言如雨般倾注在孩子身上。”与鼓励赞美相关。故选G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。
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. Her old Barbie bicycle was just too babyish, and besides, it needed a new tire.
As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, —or so we thought, as she didn’t mention it again. Merrily, we started purchasing the latest fashion—Baby Sitter’s Club dolls—and beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.”
Now we didn’t know what to do. It was just too late, with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. So here we were—Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., having just returned from a wonderful party, looking forward to our evening ahead—hours of wrapping children’s presents, parents’ presents, a brother’s presents and friends’ presents. With Almie Rose and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, lay comfortably in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle, the guilt and the idea that we were parents who would disappoint their child.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and she can trade it for a real one later?” my husband Ron thought.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the package with the clay bike.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土)and she can trade it for a real one later?" my husband Ron thought.He also wrote a note that she could trade it for a real bike. "This is an expensive item and she is 'such a big girl,' it would be much better for her to pick it out." he thought. So he spent the next four hours painstakingly (尽心地) working with clay to make a tiny bike. Finally, his face expanded with a satisfied smile when he finished it.
Paragraph 2:
On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the package with the clay bike. Almie’s heart raced when she opened it and found the note. "Does this mean that I will trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?" Smiling, I said, "Yes." With tears in her eyes, she replied, "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike." At that moment, we were too amazed to hear her response and her father hugged her tightly.
