About 500 Chinese people and 300 Americans took part in the online survey. Here are the results. Such a survey can show the importance of the Spring Festival for Chinese people, but what results in these differences? To my understanding, at least two reasons can explain this result. For one thing, Chinese people have a strong sense of family. For another, people are richer than before, and they have more freedom (自由) during the vacation. So many people choose to celebrate this holiday by travelling. As for Americans, they prefer travelling. In fact, Americans like travelling on vacations, not only Christmas. Americans like exercising. There are no parks with fitness equipment (健身器材) in the US. So, they pay money to go to the gym. 36. About _______ people in total (共计) took part in the online survey. A. 800 B. 500 C. 300 D. 200 37. 13% of Americans choose _______ to celebrate Christmas. A. travelling B. staying at home C. visiting relatives and friends D. studying or exercising 38.

A. prefer to travel B. want to exercise C. they have money to travel, and they have days-off D. they think travelling is more exciting than visiting relatives and friends 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是《城市日报》的一项关于“中国人如何庆祝春节”还有“美国人如何庆祝圣诞节”的调查结果。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“About 500 Chinese people and 300 Americans took part in the online survey.”可知约有500名中国人和300名美国人参与调查，所以总人数是500 + 300 = 800。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表，13%的美国人选择“走亲访友”。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For another, people are richer than before, and they have more freedom (自由) during the vacation. So many people choose to celebrate this holiday by travelling.”可知中国人选择旅行的原因是有钱和假期。故选C。 B Last Friday my friend Deborah asked me if I would like to learn how people make tofu. I couldn’t think of any good reason not to be interested, so I said, “Yes.” The next day I met with her and other three nice people at the Hodo Soy Beanery in Oakland. I enjoyed the tour. The trip was very instructive. The following is what I learned. Tofu has a history of 2, 000 years. The food comes from China. There are two main kinds of tofu, soft tofu (软豆腐) and firm tofu (硬豆腐). In some parts of Asia, people use tofu as a kind of meat. Douhua is one kind of soft tofu. It is a popular breakfast food in China. Because it is very soft, people can’t eat it with chopsticks, but with a spoon. Lots of people eat it as a dessert and often add green onions and sauce to it. In Malaysia, people usually eat douhua with white or dark sugar water. Tofu really has a long history in Chinese culture, and now more and more people around the world enjoy this delicious food. 39. When did the writer go to the Hodo Soy Beanery? A. Last Thursday. B. Last Saturday. C. Last Friday. D. Last Sunday. 40. The underlined word “instructive” probably means “_______”. A. educational B. dangerous C. boring D. difficult 41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. People began to eat tofu 5, 000 years ago. B. In some parts of Asia, people use tofu as a kind of drink. C. Douhua is one kind of firm tofu. D People eat douhua with a spoon. 【答案】39. B 40. A 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者学到了很多关于豆腐的知识。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Last Friday my friend Deborah…The next day I met with her and other three nice people at the Hodo Soy Beanery in Oakland.”可知作者是在上周六去的Hodo Soy Beanery，故选B。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The following is what I learned.”及下文可知，作者学到了很多关于豆腐的知识，因此这次旅行是有教育意义的。故选A。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Douhua is one kind of soft tofu. It is a popular breakfast food in China. Because it is very soft, people can’t eat it with chopsticks, but with a spoon.”可知，人们用勺子吃豆花。故选D。 C A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视). “You have no flying skills at all” He said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? Let’s have a flying competition!” One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles (圈), performed other flying skills, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (努力挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…” The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach. 42. What does the underlined word “him” refer (指) to? A. All kinds of crows. B. The swan. C. The sea. D. Another crow. 43. Why did the crow keep touching the water? A. It was tired and almost fell into the water. B. It was showing another flying skill. C. It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. D. It was enjoying itself by doing so. 44. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. The crow can’t fly. B. Flying skills were useless. C. The swan was able to fly longer and farther than the crow. D. The swan saved the crow because they were good friends. 45. Where might you read this passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a science magazine. C. In an ad. D. In a news report. 【答案】42. B 43. A 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个关于乌鸦和天鹅之间发生的故事。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him…”可知，现在轮到天鹅了。他飞起来，开始在海上飞翔。乌鸦跟在他后面飞。因此划线的“him”指代的是“天鹅”，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.”可知，乌鸦是因为太累了，几乎掉进水里，因此一直接触水面，故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? Let’s have a flying competition…said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition…I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life”可知，可以判断天鹅能够比乌鸦飞得更远更久，因为乌鸦最终因疲惫而求助，故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。文章叙述了一个寓意故事，因此适合出现在故事书中，故选A。 D If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie maybe good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, such as sadness (悲伤). According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Silvia, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people think more. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said, ‘‘But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 46. Why did the scientists ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A. To help them make more friends. B. To help them feel relaxed after class. C. To find out how they felt after watching it. D. To ask them to share their experiences. 47. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A. Your friends. B. Your problems in the life. C. Seeing a sad movie. D. The hope in the future. 48. The writer advises us to _______.

In the English language, there are many meanings using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. ②For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest (抗议) and say “Do not bad mouth me”. Another situation is that you thought someone said something bad about you, and you ask him. He might say, “Do not put words in my mouth!” Sometimes, people tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing. ③Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say. “You take the words right out of my mouth!” ④Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon (银匙) in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food. 49. “Do not put words in my mouth” has the same meaning to “________”. A. I did not say that B. Please don’t ask me C. That’s too dirty D. I am full 50. A person born with a silver spoon in his mouth is ________ according to the passage. A. Friendly B. rich C. strong D. cute 51. What is the passage about? A. English people say bad things very often. B. People use their mouths to do lots of things. C. The rich have different mouths from the poor. D. The word “mouth” has different meanings in English. 52. The right structure of the passage should be A. B. C. D. 【答案】49. A 50. B 51. D 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语中“嘴”的不同意思。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Another situation is that you thought someone said something bad about you, and you ask him. He might say, ‘Do not put words in my mouth!’”可知，此句在否定自己说了坏话。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person ‘was born with a silver spoon (银匙) in his mouth.’”可知，含着银匙出生指的是出生于富贵家庭的人。故选B。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中“In the English language, there are many meanings using the word ‘mouth’”可知，整篇文章围绕着英语中“嘴”的不同的意思而展开。故选D。 【52题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段总述用“嘴”能做很多事，二三四段分别介绍了“嘴”在不同场合中的不同意思。故选A。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 For anyone experiencing the struggle of foreign language learning, here’s my way of learning Chinese.

About 500 Chinese people and 300 Americans took part in the online survey. Here are the results. Such a survey can show the importance of the Spring Festival for Chinese people, but what results in these differences? To my understanding, at least two reasons can explain this result. For one thing, Chinese people have a strong sense of family. For another, people are richer than before, and they have more freedom (自由) during the vacation. So many people choose to celebrate this holiday by travelling. As for Americans, they prefer travelling. In fact, Americans like travelling on vacations, not only Christmas. Americans like exercising. There are no parks with fitness equipment (健身器材) in the US. So, they pay money to go to the gym. 36. About _______ people in total (共计) took part in the online survey. A. 800 B. 500 C. 300 D. 200 37. 13% of Americans choose _______ to celebrate Christmas. A. travelling B. staying at home C. visiting relatives and friends D. studying or exercising 38. Chinese people choose to travel during the Spring Festival because they _______. A. prefer to travel B. want to exercise C. they have money to travel and they have days-off D. they think travelling is more exciting than visiting relatives and friends B Last Friday my friend Deborah asked me if I would like to learn how people make tofu. I couldn’t think of any good reason not to be interested, so I said, “Yes.” The next day I met with her and other three nice people at the Hodo Soy Beanery in Oakland. I enjoyed the tour. The trip was very instructive. The following is what I learned. Tofu has a history of 2, 000 years. The food comes from China. There are two main kinds of tofu, soft tofu (软豆腐) and firm tofu (硬豆腐). In some parts of Asia, people use tofu as a kind of meat. Douhua is one kind of soft tofu. It is a popular breakfast food in China. Because it is very soft people can’t eat it with chopsticks, but with a spoon. Lots of people eat it as a dessert and often add green onions and sauce to it. In Malaysia, people usually eat douhua with white or dark sugar water. Tofu really has a long history in Chinese culture, and now more and more people around the world enjoy this delicious food. 39. When did the writer go to the Hodo Soy Beanery? A. Last Thursday. B. Last Saturday. C. Last Friday. D. Last Sunday. 40. The underlined word “instructive” probably means “_______”. A. educational B. dangerous C. boring D. difficult 41 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. People began to eat tofu 5, 000 years ago. B. In some parts of Asia, people use tofu as a kind of drink. C. Douhua is one kind of firm tofu. D. People eat douhua with a spoon. C A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视). “You have no flying skills at all” He said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? Let’s have a flying competition!” One of the swans a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles (圈), performed other flying skills, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle (努力挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…” The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach. 42. What does the underlined word “him” refer (指) to? A. All kinds of crows. B. The swan. C. The sea. D. Another crow. 43. Why did the crow keep touching the water? A. It was tired and almost fell into the water. B. It was showing another flying skill. C. It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. D. It was enjoying itself by doing so. 44. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. The crow can’t fly. B. Flying skills were useless. C. The swan was able to fly longer and farther than the crow. D. The swan saved the crow because they were good friends. 45. Where might you read this passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a science magazine. C. In an ad. D. In a news report. D If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie maybe good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, such as sadness (悲伤). According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Silvia, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people think more. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said, ‘‘But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 46. Why did the scientists ask the college students to watch a sad movie? A. To help them make more friends. B. To help them feel relaxed after class. C. To find out how they felt after watching it. D. To ask them to share their experiences. 47. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A. Your friends. B. Your problems in the life. C. Seeing a sad movie. D. The hope in the future. 48. The writer advises us to _______. A. watch a sad movie when we are sad B. find true love when we feel sad C. see a happy film when we feel bad D. think about others when we are sad E ①People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. In the English language, there are many meanings using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. ②For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest (抗议) and say “Do not bad mouth me”. Another situation is that you thought someone said something bad about you, and you ask him. He might say, “Do not put words in my mouth!” Sometimes, people tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing. ③Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say. “You take the words right out of my mouth!” ④Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon (银匙) in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food. 49. “Do not put words in my mouth” has the same meaning to “________”. A. I did not say that B. Please don’t ask me C. That’s too dirty D. I am full 50. A person born with a silver spoon in his mouth is ________ according to the passage. A. Friendly B. rich C. strong D. cute 51.
