While I appreciate the feelings and effort put into making them, I usually don’t really care about the end result. Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally belonged to my mother. In her later years, after my father passed away, she joined a weekly ‘book club’ with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, was skilled in handicrafts and she made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded on a chair in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small, one-bedroom suite at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I playfully teased (取笑) my mom about her never using the quilt and asked her why she kept it. She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily. After thinking this over for several days, I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, but I won’t pressure her to keep it, although I’m secretly hoping she will. Patchwork quilts hold stories. The tales we attach to what we see and do enrich our lives, turning the ordinary into something magical. 56. What was the author’s attitude towards patchwork quilts at the beginning? A. The author was eager to learn about them. B. The author didn’t care much for them. C. The author was very fond of them. D. The author admired them greatly. 57. What was the true purpose of the author’s mother attending the “book club”? A. To socialize with neighbors. B. To share handcrafting skills. C. To learn how to make coffee. D. To discuss the books they read. 58. Why did the author’s mother keep the quilt for years without using it? A. She found it too beautiful to use. B. She planned to give it to her daughter. C. It reminded her of the weekly book club. D. It represented the values of community and care. 59. What did the author do with the quilt after inheriting it? A. The author gave it away to a friend. B. The author kept it folded on a shelf. C. The author used it frequently. D. The author redecorated it. 60. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The stories can make our ordinary life more exciting. B. Patchwork quilts are valuable because they are handmade. C. Ordinary objects can become magical through the stories we tell. D. The craftsmanship of patchwork quilts is what makes them special. C Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest place on Earth. It's also the driest. With annual rainfall close to zero, Antarctica is technically a desert. Covering about 14 million square kilometers around the South Pole, it is the fifth largest continent in the world. A high mountain range, the Trans-Antarctic range, runs from east to west, cutting the continent in two. There are volcanoes too, but they are not very active. Antarctica holds 90% of the world's ice, and most of its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state, of course. 98% of the surface is covered permanently in the ice cap. On average it is two kilometers thick, but in some places it reaches a depth of five kilometers. Strong winds driven by gravity blow from the pole to the coastline, while other winds blow round the coast. It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable (不宜居的) place. Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife, which has adapted to its extreme conditions. There are different types of penguins, flying birds, seals, and whales. But the long Antarctic winter night, which lasts for 182 days (the longest period of continuous darkness on earth) , as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants can survive there. Only two types of flowering plants are found, while there are no trees on the large continent. The rest of the plants are made up of mosses, algae and lichen. Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice. Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years. As a result, it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice, can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research. Most of them are meteorites (陨石) from outer space. One rock, known as the “Alien” rock, may contain evidence of extra-terrestrial (外星人) life. Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north. They called it Anti-Arktikos, or Antarctica: the opposite of Arctic (北极) . When Europeans discovered the continent of America in 15 century, the great age of exploration began. However, progress to the South Pole was slow. Not until the late 18h century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle, but he never saw land. Then in 1895, a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland. The race to the pole had begun. It was finally reached on 11th December, 1911 by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen. 61. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _________. A. tell us about the history of the discovery of Antarctica B. tell us that Antarctica is completely covered in thick ice C. introduce the distribution of fresh water in Antarctica D. introduce the basic information about Antarctica 62. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. All Antarctic plants grow on ice. B. Animals can't survive the Antarctic polar night. C. Antarctica has a great variety of plants. D. Despite the extreme conditions in Antarctica, many plants and animals live there. 63. What does the author intend to show with the example of the “Alien (外星人) ” rock? A. There are aliens in Antarctica. B. Meteorites all contain evidence of alien existence. C. There's a lot to study in Antarctica. D. Rocks are rare in Antarctica. 64 What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. The Greek geographers found the Antarctica. B. James Cook was the first explorer who reached the South Pole. C. A Norwegian reached the South Pole first. D. Humans first set foot on the Antarctic mainland in 1911. 65. What makes the best title for the passage? A. A Race to the South Pole B. Antarctica: the Last Continent C. The wildlife of Antarctica D. Antarctica: A desert D One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might someday get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not responsible. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoor citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 66. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________. A. kids miss the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 67. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________. A. be less healthy both physically and mentally B. be over-protected by their parents C. keep a high sense of wonder D. change wild places and creatures for the better 68. According to the author children’s breaking an arm is ________. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 69. What does the underlined word “cement” in the last paragraph mean? A. Weaken. B. Strengthen. C. Lower. D. Decease. 70. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________. A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 第II卷 (非选择题, 共35分) 第四部分: 阅读表达(共5小题：每小题2分，10分) 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 71. How did Kristin Schell decorate the table in her front yard?

While I appreciate the feelings and effort put into making them, I usually don’t really care about the end result. Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally belonged to my mother. In her later years, after my father passed away, she joined a weekly ‘book club’ with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, was skilled in handicrafts and she made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded on a chair in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small, one-bedroom suite at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I playfully teased (取笑) my mom about her never using the quilt and asked her why she kept it. She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily. After thinking this over for several days, I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, but I won’t pressure her to keep it, although I’m secretly hoping she will. Patchwork quilts hold stories.

In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee.(在我父亲去世后的晚年，她加入了社区里一些妇女每周一次的“读书俱乐部”。事实上，这只是她们聚在一起喝咖啡的一个借口。)”可知，作者的母亲参加“读书俱乐部”的真正目的是为了与邻居们社交。故选A项。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily.(她说这是因为它是Emily送的礼物。我进一步追问，因为她与Emily并不特别亲近，甚至不喜欢被子的设计。她的回答依然如故：因为它是Emily送的。)”以及第五段中的“I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another.(我意识到，被子的价值不在于它的外观或制作者，而在于它对母亲关于邻里关系、社区和相互关怀的意义。)”可以推断，作者的母亲保留被子多年未使用的原因是它代表了社区和关怀的价值。故选D项。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“I inherited the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since.(我十多年前继承了这块被子，从那以后它一直折叠在架子上。)”可知，作者继承被子后一直将其折叠放在架子上。故选B项。 【60题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Patchwork quilts hold stories. The tales we attach to what we see and do enrich our lives, turning the ordinary into something magical.(拼缝被子承载着故事。我们赋予所见所为故事丰富了我们的生活，将平凡变为神奇。)”可以推断，最后一段的大意是普通的物品通过我们讲述的故事变得非凡。故选C项。 C Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest place on Earth. It's also the driest. With annual rainfall close to zero, Antarctica is technically a desert. Covering about 14 million square kilometers around the South Pole, it is the fifth largest continent in the world. A high mountain range, the Trans-Antarctic range, runs from east to west, cutting the continent in two. There are volcanoes too, but they are not very active. Antarctica holds 90% of the world's ice, and most of its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state, of course. 98% of the surface is covered permanently in the ice cap. On average it is two kilometers thick, but in some places it reaches a depth of five kilometers. Strong winds driven by gravity blow from the pole to the coastline, while other winds blow round the coast. It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable (不宜居的) place. Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife, which has adapted to its extreme conditions. There are different types of penguins, flying birds, seals, and whales. But the long Antarctic winter night, which lasts for 182 days (the longest period of continuous darkness on earth) , as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants can survive there. Only two types of flowering plants are found, while there are no trees on the large continent. The rest of the plants are made up of mosses, algae and lichen. Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice. Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years. As a result, it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice, can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research. Most of them are meteorites (陨石) from outer space. One rock, known as the “Alien” rock, may contain evidence of extra-terrestrial (外星人) life. Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north. They called it Anti-Arktikos, or Antarctica: the opposite of Arctic (北极) . When Europeans discovered the continent of America in 15 century, the great age of exploration began. However, progress to the South Pole was slow. Not until the late 18h century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle, but he never saw land. Then in 1895, a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland. The race to the pole had begun. It was finally reached on 11th December, 1911 by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen. 61. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _________. A. tell us about the history of the discovery of Antarctica B. tell us that Antarctica is completely covered in thick ice C. introduce the distribution of fresh water in Antarctica D. introduce the basic information about Antarctica 62. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. All Antarctic plants grow on ice. B. Animals can't survive the Antarctic polar night. C. Antarctica has a great variety of plants. D. Despite the extreme conditions in Antarctica, many plants and animals live there. 63. What does the author intend to show with the example of the “Alien (外星人) ” rock? A. There are aliens in Antarctica. B. Meteorites all contain evidence of alien existence. C. There's a lot to study in Antarctica. D. Rocks are rare in Antarctica. 64. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. The Greek geographers found the Antarctica. B. James Cook was the first explorer who reached the South Pole. C A Norwegian reached the South Pole first. D. Humans first set foot on the Antarctic mainland in 1911. 65. What makes the best title for the passage? A. A Race to the South Pole B. Antarctica: the Last Continent C. The wildlife of Antarctica D. Antarctica: A desert 【答案】61. D 62. D 63. C 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了南极洲的地理特征、气候、野生动植物以及科学研究价值等方面的信息。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest place on Earth. It's also the driest.

As a result, it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice, can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research.

Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not responsible. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoor citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 66. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________. A. kids miss the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 67. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________. A. be less healthy both physically and mentally B. be over-protected by their parents C. keep a high sense of wonder D. change wild places and creatures for the better 68. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is ________. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 69. What does the underlined word “cement” in the last paragraph mean? A. Weaken. B. Strengthen. C. Lower. D. Decease. 70. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________. A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 【答案】66. D 67. A 68. B 69. B 70. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了作者对孩子可能会迷失在“科技的海洋”中，而不是去体验自然世界的担忧，呼吁每个人都应该帮助我们的孩子重新获得探索的自由和快乐。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes.(我们每个人在大自然中都有一个地方，我们有时会去，即使它被拆毁了。我们不能成为拥有这个地方的最后一代人。照这样下去，失去户外奇妙感的孩子长大后就不会成为自然景观的保护者)”可知，本段作者暗含的中心观点应该是孩子们被期望成长为大自然的保护者。故选D项。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest.(没有大自然的体验，孩子们可以过得很好，但他们错过了丰富他们生活的巨大机会。这适用于他们的身体健康和心理健康，压力水平，创造力和认知技能。专家预测，现代的孩子会比他们的父母健康状况更差，他们说缺乏户外活动肯定是其中的一部分原因。研究表明，在有自然元素的学校里，孩子们在学业上表现得更好，在自然中玩耍可以培养最聪明的人的领导力，而不是最强硬的人)”可推知，没有经历过自然的孩子将会比他们的父母健康状况更差，这适用于他们的身体健康和心理健康。故选A项。 【68题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might someday get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. (我们现在最大的恐惧之一是，我们的孩子可能有一天会迷失在“科技的海洋”中，而不是体验自然世界)”和倒数第二段中“Kids are not responsible. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage.(孩子们不负责任。他们受到过度保护和惊吓。这有时是危险的，但来自电脑的重复压力正在取代折断手臂，成为童年的成人礼)”可知，儿童们沉浸在科技的海洋中，正在失去自然体验，可得出作者认为儿童的折断手臂指的是他们成长过程中的自然经历，故选B项。 【69题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoor citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods(每个人，从开发商，到学校和户外市民，都应该帮助我们的孩子重新获得探索的自由和快乐，在田野和树林中建立友谊)”可知，此处讲述了每个人应该帮助孩子回到自然环境，去体会自然的快乐，因为这是有好处的，再根据后文“love, respect and need for landscape”可知，cement应该有利于对景观的热爱、尊重和需求，可推知，cement正面的意思，结合选项，应该和B项Strengthen“加强”意思相近。故选B项。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might someday get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world.(我们现在最大的担忧之一是，我们的孩子有一天可能会迷失在“科技的海洋”中，而不是去体验自然世界)”以及后文，主要在讲述，孩子脱离自然后的坏处，可知，本文作者主要是想表现出他对孩子们缺乏自然经验的关心。故选C项。 第II卷 (非选择题, 共35分) 第四部分: 阅读表达(共5小题：每小题2分，10分) 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 71. How did Kristin Schell decorate the table in her front yard? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What activities did Kristin and her kids do at the turquoise table? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 73. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 74. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 75. What do you think of The Turquoise Table? And give your reasons. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71. She painted the table turquoise. 72. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. 73. The reason why people do not want to socialize. 74. Relieve. 75. I think turquoise tables are really good for bringing the community closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。克里斯汀·谢尔在前院放置了一张青绿色餐桌，与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的宣传和带动下，现已形成了一场全国性的运动。 【71题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk(聚会结束后，我把桌子漆成了绿松石色——我最喜欢的颜色——并把它放在前院，离人行道只有几英尺远)”可知，克里斯汀·谢尔将前院的桌子漆成绿松石色。故答案为She painted the table turquoise. 【72题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks.(那张绿松石桌子成了克里斯汀和她的孩子们玩耍的地方。他们玩游戏，做手工，吃零食)”可知，克里斯汀和她的孩子们在绿松石餐桌上玩游戏，做手工，吃零食。故答案为They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. 【73题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第五段“People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.(人们常常不愿邀请别人到家里来。他们认为他们的房子太乱了，不够大，或者他们没有足够的时间。“我们的完美主义会让我们错过与他人交流的乐趣，”克里斯汀说。她的野餐桌带走了借口和压力)”可知，第5段的主旨是人们不愿意社交的原因。故答案为The reason why people do not want to socialize. 【74题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段““It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.(她说:“这是一种简单的方式，可以让你放慢脚步，与他人交流。”那张绿松石色的桌子很诱人，有一种共同的感觉)”；倒数第三段“Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.(她的野餐桌带走了借口和压力)”以及划线词后文“loneliness and building relationships in her community”可知，绿松石餐桌在缓解孤独感和建立社区关系方面迈出一小步。故划线词意思是“缓解”。故答案为Relieve. 【75题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你觉得绿松石桌怎么样？并给出你的理由”可回答我认为绿松石桌确实有助于拉近社区的距离。故答案为I think turquoise tables are really good for bringing the community closer together. 76. 作文，满分25分 76. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，你一直想加入你们城市的慈善机构“保护野生生物慈善团体”。请你给俱乐部写一封信，内容包括 ： 1.为什么要加入。 2. 提出一些保护动物的建议。 3.你的愿望。 注意：(1)词数不少于100词; (2)可以适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：charity 慈善机构 Dear sir and Madam， ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】 Dear Sir and Madam, My name is Li Jin, a student from Chenguang High School.I am writing to express my earnest desire to join your noble cause and contribute to the protection of wildlife.
