Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
4. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
5. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
6. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
C
Sensory-based food education given to 3 — 5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood.
8. What is the main focus of the new study?
A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices.
C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education.
9. How did the researchers conduct their research?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases.
C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data.
10. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update.
11. What’s Kähkönen’s attitude towards the Sapere method?
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
D
Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter.
About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive — around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining.
Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering (including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda’s habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat.
Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar.
The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitats. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda’s habitat.
12. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food?
A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters.
C. Their habitats are becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat.
13. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show?
A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas.
C. India’s deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China’s advantage in keeping red pandas.
14. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas?
A. Force yak herders to move away.
B. Advocate people to adopt them.
C. Cooperate with local experts to do research.
D. Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers.
15. What’s a suitable title for this text?
A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival.
B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo.
C. The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas.
D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo.

Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.
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。
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
4. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
5. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
6. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
7 Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】

He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.(在她的指导下,Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。“她给我留下了识字的礼物,”他说,“以及作为人的价值。”他的生活有了新的方向)”可知,一位年轻老师的激励使Ghunta阅读水平提高,生活也有了新方向。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.(他从小学毕业时获得了许多学术奖项,其中包括“阅读进步最大”奖。他上了大学。如今,他是两本关于克服童年困难经历的儿童书籍的作者。他现在正在写他的第一部长篇诗集)”可知,第五段主要概括了Ghunta的成就。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(Ghunta说:“我希望她能看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响,以及我如何将对她的记忆——希望和光明——带在身边,以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”结合本文叙述了Ghunta从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程。在此期间一个年轻老师的出现改变了Ghunta的人生方向,由此可见,教师的信念照亮学生成长之路。故选D。

Sensory-based food education given to 3 — 5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood.
8. What is the main focus of the new study?
A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices.
C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education.
9. How did the researchers conduct their research?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases.
C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data.
10. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update.
11. What’s Kähkönen’s attitude towards the Sapere method?
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究显示,在幼儿园对3到5岁的孩子进行以感官为基础的食物教育会增强他们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things.(研究人员使用了基于感官的食物教育方法Sapere,该方法利用了儿童在学习新事物时依赖所有五种感官的自然方式)”可知,这项新研究的主要焦点是Sapere在食品教育中的有效性。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups.(研究人员比较了不同幼儿园组的孩子)”可知,研究者使用对比的方式进行研究。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit.(研究结果表明,以感官为基础的食物教育增加了孩子们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿,尤其是在父母受教育程度较低的孩子中。平均而言,父母受教育程度较低的孩子往往吃较少的蔬菜和水果)”以及划线词上文“ This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help(这就是幼儿园的饮食教育如何帮助……)”可知,食物教育在提高儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿上起着重要的作用。所以幼儿园的食物教育可以帮助缩小不同家庭间孩子在饮食习惯上的差异。故画线词与Narrow意思最为接近,表示“缩小”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health. (“另一个有趣的发现是,Sapere食品教育方法似乎也改善了幼儿园群体的饮食氛围。这鼓励孩子们在他们的盘子里选择更多样化的食物,”健康专家Kähkönen解释说)”可推断,Kähkönen对Sapere方法持“支持”的态度。故选C。

Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter.
About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive — around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining.
Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering (including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda’s habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat.
Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar.
The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitats. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda’s habitat.
12. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food?
A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters.
C. Their habitats are becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat.
13. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show?
A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas.
C. India’s deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China’s advantage in keeping red pandas.
14. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas?
A. Force yak herders to move away.
B. Advocate people to adopt them.
C. Cooperate with local experts to do research.
D. Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers.
15. What’s a suitable title for this text?
A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival.
B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo.
C. The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas.
D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C

( 山体滑坡、洪水等自然灾害;大雪和暴雨也破坏了它们的栖息地。)”可知,由于人类的行为和自然灾害导致了红熊猫的栖息地减少,使得它们找到足够的竹子都很难;结合第四段中的“Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. ( 虽然红熊猫濒临灭绝,但人们正在采取措施拯救这个物种及其栖息地。)”以及下文中列举的数据和尾段中的“The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. (红熊猫网络是一个保护红熊猫及其栖息地的非营利组织。)”可知,针对人类行为和自然灾难导致红熊猫栖息地减少的情况,世界各地以及一些非营利性组织为保护红熊猫开始采取措施,综合以上信息可知,本文主要介绍的是红熊猫面对的严峻形式以及各个国家和组织对它的保护,所以题目“红熊猫的威胁及保护”概括了本文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了在雅典举行的一场茶文化活动,通过这一活动,展现了茶作为中西文化交流的桥梁。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:周六,雅典举办了一场茶文化活动,让希腊客人了解不同种类的茶和制茶技术以及雅集的概念。这里考查enable sb. to do sth.,意为“使得某人做某事”,learn用不定式形式。故填to learn。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此次活动名为“和谐之茶雅集文化沙龙”,包括传统茶道、茶的历史及其在中国人民生活中的作用展览,以及音乐、舞蹈和书法等其他活动。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是The event,指物,且从句缺少主语,故此处填关系代词 which。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:此次活动名为“和谐之茶雅集文化沙龙”,包括传统茶道、茶的历史及其在中国人民生活中的作用展览,以及音乐、舞蹈和书法等其他活动。根据句意,lives与提示词people之间是所属关系,故应该使用名词所有格people’s。故填people’s。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国驻雅典大使馆文化参赞王英说:“雅集在中文中意为汇集一切优雅。” 分析句子成分可知,mean doing sth. (意味着做某事),此处应填所给词的动名词形式,在句子中作宾语。故填gathering。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:茶不仅蕴含着中国人与自然和谐相处的传统哲学,而且是连接中国与世界的重要桥梁。这里表示“一座重要的桥梁”,所以应用不定冠词表泛指,且important 以元音音素开头,所以使用不定冠词 an。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:Michalis Maniatis是一位希腊艺术家,在过去的二十年里一直在希腊和中国之间旅行,他告诉新华社,他的家里到处都是他和已经成为他家人的中国朋友一起享用的茶。分析句子成分可知,该空为定语从句中的谓语;根据for the past two decades可知,此处应填所给词的现在完成时形式或现在完成进行时形式表动作始于过去,一直持续到现在,或者刚刚终止,或者可能仍然要继续下去,从句主语who指代先行词a Greek artist,注意主谓一致。故填has traveled (travelled)/has been traveling (travelling)。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:Michalis Maniatis是一位希腊艺术家,在过去的二十年里一直在希腊和中国之间旅行,他告诉新华社,他的家里到处都是他和已经成为他家人的中国朋友一起享用的茶。这里考查be full of,表示“充满了……”,是固定搭配。故填of。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他喜欢茶的味道、象征意义、优雅和联系。此处需要一个名词与空前taste、symbolism、elegance并列,connection,表“联系”,可为可数名词也可为不可数名词。故填connection(s)。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:茶是人与人之间的桥梁。分析句子成分可知,设空处为句子的谓语,本句陈述的是一般事实,应用一般现在时;主语Tea为不可数名词。故填is。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我希望西方的每个人都能找到一种方法来理解这一点,并意识到通过这个友好的仪式,我们可以相互了解,永远做朋友。设空处需要形容词friendly作定语,修饰名词ceremony。故填friendly。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.”
After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.”
