So I decided to refuse all their unreasonable requests. As a result, they didn’t order me to do anything anymore. From this experience, I learned to say no to unfair things bravely, because only in this way can I get respect. Matt, London My classmate Jack used to laugh at me because of my weight. I cared too much about the opinion so I ate less and paid more attention to my appearance (外貌). The more I care about the comments (评论), the more worried I became. After realizing that everyone was different, I refused to change myself. Now I have got back my confidence and don’t care about what others say. I think it is necessary to say no and stand up for myself. Sandy, Rome I used to have difficulty working out math problems. To help me, my classmates showed me their answers directly.

Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course! Why are you in college at such a ‘young’ age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children and then travel around.” “Are you serious?” I asked.

When you lose your dreams, you die.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older.

Why is there so much gun violence (暴力) in the US? Although the problem is complicated (复杂的), there are three big reasons: too many guns, weak gun laws and cultural factors (因素). The US has a lot of guns—120.5 guns for every 100 Americans according to a 2017 survey (调查). In other words, there are more guns than people in the US. This makes it easier for people to get guns. Although US federal law says certain people can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy for Americans to buy them anyway, said Vox. A big part of this is loopholes (漏洞) in gun sales. In the US, when you buy a gun from a licensed (有经营许可的) shop or at a gun show, they have to check your background. But if you buy from a private seller, they don’t have to do that. Even in those cases where a background check is made, it can only take up to three days at most. If the seller does not receive a clear answer within three days, the seller can still sell the gun, reported CGTN. The US also has a unique gun culture, influenced by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution (宪法第二修正案). Some people believe it gives them special rights (权利), making them refuse to give up their guns for the greater good. Around 60 percent of Americans think gun violence is a big problem and want stricter gun laws. But keeping gun violence under control in the US is not easy. Because it’s unclear if US lawmakers, who listen to powerful gun groups like the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America, will make changes. 13. What are the main reasons for increasing gun violence in the US? a. the high ownership of guns b. the weak laws on buying guns c. the light punishment on gun violence d. the right to have guns in the minds of Americans A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 14. Those who are not allowed to have guns _________. A. won’t have any chance to buy guns B. can buy guns with a special license C. can buy guns from private sellers D. can buy guns by showing their background 15. In the writer’s opinion, to keep gun violence under control in the US is __________. A. meaningless B. costly C. difficult D. possible 16. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. C 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国枪支暴力事件增多的主要原因。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Although the problem is complicated (复杂的), there are three big reasons: too many guns, weak gun laws and cultural factors (因素).”可知，美国枪支暴力事件增多的主要原因有：枪支过多、枪支法律薄弱和文化因素。对应文章二、三、四段，分别是：枪支的高拥有率、关于购买枪支的薄弱法律、美国人心目中拥有枪支的权利。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although US federal law says certain people can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy for Americans to buy them anyway”和“In the US, when you buy a gun from a licensed (有经营许可的) shop or at a gun show, they have to check your background. But if you buy from a private seller, they don’t have to do that.”可知，尽管美国联邦法律规定某些人不能购买枪支，但美国人购买枪支仍然相当容易；如果你从私人卖家那里购买，他们不会检查你的背景。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But keeping gun violence under control in the US is not easy.”可知，但在美国，控制枪支暴力并不容易。故选C。 【16题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章可知，第一段是总起，提出美国枪支暴力事件增多的主要原因有：枪支过多、枪支法律薄弱和文化因素。第二、第三、第四段分别具体说明这三个原因：枪支的高拥有率、关于购买枪支的薄弱法律、美国人心目中拥有枪支的权利。最后一段是总结：控制枪支暴力并不容易。所以文章结构是总①-分②③④-总⑤，故选A。 第二节 阅读短文, 从方框中所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 People used sundials (日晷) to tell the time in ancient times.

Home News Activities Ideas Wu Shan, Beijing When I was in primary school, two of my classmates always asked me to do many things for them, like buying breakfast or copying the materials, which put me under great anxiety. So I decided to refuse all their unreasonable requests. As a result, they didn’t order me to do anything anymore. From this experience, I learned to say no to unfair things bravely, because only in this way can I get respect. Matt, London My classmate Jack used to laugh at me because of my weight. I cared too much about the opinion so I ate less and paid more attention to my appearance (外貌). The more I care about the comments (评论), the more worried I became. After realizing that everyone was different, I refused to change myself. Now I have got back my confidence and don’t care about what others say. I think it is necessary to say no and stand up for myself. Sandy, Rome I used to have difficulty working out math problems. To help me, my classmates showed me their answers directly. However, I still couldn’t work out the problems during the next test. Then I realized that if I want to improve myself, I have to say no to their help. Since then, I refused my classmates’ help and improved math on my own. 5. The underlined word “anxiety” in paragraph 1 probably means “___▲___”. A. pride B. worry C. pity D. effort 6.

I turned round to find an old lady looking up at me with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course! Why are you in college at such a ‘young’ age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children and then travel around.” “Are you serious?” I asked. I wondered why she challenged herself such a thing at this age. “I always dreamed of having a college education, and now I’m getting one.” she told me. We became friends. Every day, we would leave class together and talk for hours. Listening to this human “time machine” was so interesting, when she shared her years of wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a meeting. I’ll never forget what she told us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only a few secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t need any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the chance in change. Have no regrets. People usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but for things they did not do.” 9. According to the passage, which of the following sentence is TRUE? A. The old lady met a rich husband and got married. B. The old lady worked hard to go to college. C. The old lady was very kind and humorous. D. The old lady went to college at an early age. 10. The old lady’s speech told us ________. A. if we grow old, we shouldn’t play B. if we want to keep young, we should have dreams. C. growing older requires some talents and abilities.

B. Live with a dream and without regrets. C. Be nice and humorous. D. The trouble with growing old. In early December, the US broke a terrible new record: 38 big shootings (大规模枪击事件) in a single year, in which 203 people have died. Why is there so much gun violence (暴力) in the US? Although the problem is complicated (复杂的), there are three big reasons: too many guns, weak gun laws and cultural factors (因素). The US has a lot of guns—120.5 guns for every 100 Americans, according to a 2017 survey (调查). In other words, there are more guns than people in the US. This makes it easier for people to get guns. Although US federal law says certain people can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy for Americans to buy them anyway, said Vox. A big part of this is loopholes (漏洞) in gun sales. In the US, when you buy a gun from a licensed (有经营许可的) shop or at a gun show, they have to check your background. But if you buy from a private seller, they don’t have to do that. Even in those cases where a background check is made, it can only take up to three days at most. If the seller does not receive a clear answer within three days, the seller can still sell the gun, reported CGTN. The US also has a unique gun culture, influenced by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution (宪法第二修正案). Some people believe it gives them special rights (权利), making them refuse to give up their guns for the greater good. Around 60 percent of Americans think gun violence is a big problem and want stricter gun laws. But keeping gun violence under control in the US is not easy. Because it’s unclear if US lawmakers, who listen to powerful gun groups like the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America, will make changes. 13. What are the main reasons for increasing gun violence in the US? a. the high ownership of guns b. the weak laws on buying guns c. the light punishment on gun violence d. the right to have guns in the minds of Americans A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 14. Those who are not allowed to have guns _________. A. won’t have any chance to buy guns B. can buy guns with a special license C. can buy guns from private sellers D. can buy guns by showing their background 15. In the writer’s opinion, to keep gun violence under control in the US is __________. A. meaningless B. costly C. difficult D. possible 16. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读短文, 从方框中所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 People used sundials (日晷) to tell the time in ancient times.

Christmas Day is very popular in China, especially for young people. Should Chinese people celebrate Christmas Day? 60% people think that we should not take Christmas so seriously, 10% think everyone should celebrate Christmas. Some people think celebrating Christmas Day can help them understand western culture better. Some people think it is a great holiday to have a good time with their families and friends. During Christmas Day, they can meet friends, go shopping, watch movies and go to different parties. But I have different ideas. China has its own holidays, such as the Spring Festival, Double Ninth Festival and Mid-Autumn Day, so we don’t have to celebrate holidays from other countries. Some people spend a lot of money celebrating Christmas Day. People buy lots of gifts for their friends and families, but this is not the best way to show their love. 41. Who likes Christmas Day better in China? ________________ 42. How many reasons are listed for celebrating Christmas Day? ________________ 43. What’s the writer’s opinion about celebrating Christmas Day? ________________ 44. Which Chinese festival do you like best? Why?
