Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao says he hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old told reporters that his library includes books that all students can enjoy-from young children in kindergartens to older students in grade 12. What’s more, his library has books for readers of all interests. Guanlao calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁). A genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories), and fiction (or imaginary stories). Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. Guanla o added, “There are also spiritual books for those who are looking for religious knowledge, hardbound and softbound books, autobiographies (自传), and many different genres that one can enjoy, all for free.” Guanlao started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has increased greatly over the years-thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors (捐赠者). Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Program for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals. “My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 4. Why did Guanlao set up the library? A. To make a lot of money. B. To entertain young children. C. To encourage people to read. D. To help parents save money. 5. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Types of books in Guanlao’s library. B. Reasons for Guanlao’s founding the library. C. The number of books in Guanlao’s library. D. The source of the books in Guanlao’s library. 6. What is the attitude of local people toward Guanlao’s library? A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 7. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Students in the Philippines are good at reading. B. Students in the Philippines prefer math and science. C. Guanlao is concerned about students’ education. D. Guanlao is deeply appreciated by the nation. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Hernando Guanlao将自己的家改造成公共图书馆，鼓励阅读。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Guanlao says he hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. (Guanlao说，他希望他的图书馆能激励人们阅读，尤其是年轻人。)”可知，Guanlao建立图书馆是为了鼓励人们阅读。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Guanlao calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁). A genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories), and fiction(or imaginary stories). Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. Guanla o added, “There are also spiritual books for those who are looking for religious knowledge, hardbound and softbound books, autobiographies (自传), and many different genres that one can enjoy, all for free.” (Guanlao将自己的图书馆命名为“阅读俱乐部2000”。它包含许多不同种类的书籍，或体裁。体裁是指具有特定风格、形式或内容的艺术作品、音乐作品或文学作品的一组。文学中的一些体裁有诗歌、非小说类（或真实故事）和小说类（或虚构故事）。此外还有“子体裁”，如烹饪书、科幻小说和神秘小说，不一而足。关劳补充道：“还有为寻求宗教知识的人准备的精神类书籍、精装和平装书籍、自传，以及许多可以享受的不同体裁的书籍，全部免费。”)”可知，第二段主要介绍了Guanlao图书馆中的书籍类型。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Guanlao’s collection has increased greatly over the years-thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors (捐赠者). Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” (多年来，Guanlao的藏书量大幅增长，这要归功于捐赠者源源不断的捐赠。说到捐赠者，他说：“他们只是把一箱箱的书放在我家外面。”)”可知，当地人对Guanlao的图书馆持支持态度。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中““My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” (他说：“我的使命是免费赠送二手和捐赠书籍给他人，并通过文学促进教育。”)”可知，Guanlao关注学生的教育问题。故选C。 C When traveling to foreign countries, mastering the art of body language is key for perfect travel experience. As a body language expert, it’s easy for me to see how we communicate with those around us without even saying a word. I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk. At most times when traveling abroad, it is the only way that connects every human being, no matter the geographic location. A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking flight to your desired destination. For example, it is customary to simply eat the food that you have before you when we are out at a business lunch. In Asian customs, business lunches are strict. Finishing your plate or eating most of the food you ordered is considered rude in Asian culture. “Body language teaches us everything about a person,” says Benjamin Wey, a professor at two European universities. “My professional career would be entirely different if it were not for body language and my understanding of it.” Frequently visiting both Europe and the US, Wey has come to understand that internationally, our ability to actively respect cultural customs becomes the currency within business. One key element that Wey has taken away from his travels abroad is “that all people want to be treated with respect.” So, show your respect-and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route. Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful, and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends. Though we started with one language in common-body language, the cultures of the world have evolved (演化). It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences; it will make our world smaller as a result. 8. Why does the author think body language is important? A. It makes different cultures getting more alike. B. It can effectively show your respect to others. C. It allows us to connect with people anywhere. D. It replaces the need for verbal communication. 9. What does the passage advise travelers to do to improve their travel experience? A. Avoid making any gestures at all. B. Finish the food you order in the plate. C. Learn to use the local language fluently. D. Show respect by following local customs. 10. What does the underlined word “offensive” mean in paragraph 5? A. Rude. B. Similar. C. Awesome. D. Practical. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Cross-cultural Body Language B. The Traditional Cuisine Culture C. A Perfect Travel Experience Abroad D. A Good Way to Learn Foreign Cultures 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述掌握肢体语言艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键，同时旅行者要尊重当地的风俗习惯。 8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk. At most times when traveling abroad, it is the only way that connects every human being, no matter the geographic location. (我特别相信肢体语言这一通用语言的重要性。多数时候在国外旅行时，无论地理位置如何，它是连接每个人的唯一方式)”可知，作者认为肢体语言重要，因为它让我们在任何地方都能与人交流。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking flight to your desired destination. (在飞往您想要的目的地之前，了解一个简单的习俗或尊重的标志至关重要)”和第五段中“So, show your respect-and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route. (所以，表达你的尊重，更多地了解当地的习俗和传统，或者你路线上的景点)”可知，这篇文章建议旅行者遵循当地风俗来表示尊重，以改善他们的旅行体验。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由第五段中“Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful, and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends. (了解哪些手势或表情被认为是有用的，避免那些可能offensive你新朋友的手势或表情)”可知，与“useful”相对应，避免的应是负面词汇，由此推断，offensive含义与“Rude (粗鲁的、无礼的)”相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章首段提出话题，掌握肢体语言的艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键，下文叙述，旅行者要尊重当地风俗习惯，最后一段“Though we started with one language in common-body language, the cultures of the world have evolved (演化). It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences; it will make our world smaller as a result. (虽然我们从共同的肢体语言中的一种语言开始，但世界文化已经发展。重要的是能够识别和理解这些差异，这将使我们的世界变得更小)”可知，“跨文化肢体语言”与文本内容一致，适合作文章标题。故选A项。 D Who doesn’t love a warm, delicious and satisfying meal? Food is what keeps human bodies full of nutrients and it provides the energy needed to go through life. But there is more to eating than just survival. People often use food to bond (建立密切联系) with others through shared meals, food gifts and at celebrations. As the Better Health Channel reports, food is used by people in all countries and cultures around the world as a way to come together and enjoy. Gathering together with friends and family, or even with strangers, nourishes (滋养) more than our bodies. And what’s interesting is that it’s not necessarily the actual food that makes the meal so important. The social interaction of the meal setting encourages people to pay attention to each other and to connect, Life Magazine reports. So how can people include these important “bonding through food” practices into their lives? Some suggest going out to eat with friends, family members or coworkers bi-monthly or even weekly. Going out to eat or sharing meals with others creates much deeper and more meaningful interactions when compared to other joint activities like watching a movie or TV together. Research conducted by the University of Oxford showed that people who eat socially are more well adjusted in social and emotional settings and are more likely to feel better about themselves. And although many people eat their meals alone, 76 percent of the people questioned think sharing a meal is a good way to bring people closer. So why is it that eating with others feels good? A study conducted by the University of Chicago concludes that it is all about trust. According the research, food helps develop trust since eating the same food together with someone else suggests that both parties are willing to bring the same thing into their body. It’s only natural that trust and cooperation are likely to develop as a result of this bonding experience. 12. What is the purpose of sharing meals beyond survival? A. To provide energy for the body. B. To bring people together socially. C. To serve as a form of entertainment. D. To celebrate personal achievements. 13. What can we know from the Life Magazine’s reports? A. Social interaction during meals is significant. B. Meals are primarily for nutritional purposes. C. The food itself is the most important aspect. D. Eating alone is more beneficial than sharing meals. 14. How can people put “bonding through food” into practice? A. By sharing food gifts more often. B. By watching movies or TV together. C. By spending more time with the family. D. By eating together with others regularly. 15. Why does sharing meals feel good? A. It provides a sense of belonging. B. It offers an opportunity for relaxation. C. It develops trust between individuals. D. It allows for the sharing of diverse opinions. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了食物在人类社交中的重要作用，以及如何通过共享食物来建立密切联系和信任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“People often use food to bond (建立密切联系) with others through shared meals, food gifts and at celebrations. As the Better Health Channel reports, food is used by people in all countries and cultures around the world as a way to come together and enjoy.(人们常常会通过共同进餐、赠送食物以及在庆祝活动中利用食物来与他人建立密切联系。正如 “健康频道” 所报道的那样，世界各地所有国家和文化中的人们都把食物作为一种相聚一堂、共享欢乐的方式)”可知，人们通过共同进餐等方式利用食物与他人建立密切联系，在世界各国各文化中食物都是一种让人们相聚在一起、共同享受的方式，说明除了维持生存外，共同进餐的目的在于从社交层面把人们聚到一起。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The social interaction of the meal setting encourages people to pay attention to each other and to connect, Life Magazine reports.(据《生活》杂志报道，用餐环境中的社交互动促使人们相互关注、彼此联结)”可知，这体现出用餐时的社交互动是很重要的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“So how can people include these important “bonding through food” practices into their lives? Some suggest going out to eat with friends, family members or coworkers bi-monthly or even weekly.(那么，人们如何将这些通过食物建立密切联系的重要做法融入自己的生活呢？有些人建议每个月两次或者每周与朋友、家人或同事外出就餐)”可知，人们可以通过每月两次或者每周和朋友、家人或者同事外出吃饭，把 “通过食物建立联系” 的做法融入生活，也就是要经常和别人一起吃饭。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So why is it that eating with others feels good? A study conducted by the University of Chicago concludes that it is all about trust. According the research, food helps develop trust since eating the same food together with someone else suggests that both parties are willing to bring the same thing into their body.(那么，为什么与他人一起用餐感觉很好呢？芝加哥大学开展的一项研究得出结论，这一切都关乎信任。根据这项研究，食物有助于建立信任，因为与他人一起食用相同的食物意味着双方都愿意将同样的东西摄入体内)”可知，芝加哥大学的一项研究得出结论：与他人一起用餐感觉很好是因为信任。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to make art fun for children As with art, it all comes down to interpretation. In reality, art galleries, like the great artworks they house, can appeal to all ages. Surely they can be great fun for children if we set out with the intention of making them so. All we need is a fresh approach. ____16____ Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture? That’s simply not attractive to children. Instead, let them decide on the pace. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eyes on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine. ____17____ Turn art into a game. The particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. ____18____ Make simple quizzes for older children such as, “Who can guess the artist?” or,“Who can identify the period it was made?” Just do this with your children and you’ll find it beneficial to improve their interest. Don’t spend too long in the gallery. ____19____ So limiting your visit to 45 minutes in the gallery is perfect for preventing boredom. With this approach, perhaps consider making a trip to an art gallery part of your day’s activities rather than the main activity. You could even visit two galleries in one day, each for 30 minutes. A gallery trip, you could say! Engage your kids in conversation about art. Talk to children in the language of emotions as this will stimulate their interest. Ask questions such as, “What exhibit did you find most exciting or boring?” or, “___20___” and discuss your different impressions of the same works. By taking this approach, art is no longer dull but something alive and relevant to young people, making it a pursuit that will last a lifetime. A. Do slow looking in the gallery. B. How did that painting make you feel? C. Let your children enjoy art on their own terms. D. What did the artist attempt to say with the exhibit? E. Children naturally have shorter attention spans than adults. F. If they keep going back to a previous room, no problem at all. G. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍如何让孩子们感觉艺术有趣。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture? That’s simply not attractive to children. Instead, let them decide on the pace. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eyes on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine. (谁说在画廊里走来走去必须慢一点，停下来看每一幅画？这对孩子根本没有吸引力。相反，让他们决定速度。如果他们想直接前往某个展览，就让他们吧。如果有什么东西在房间的另一边引起了他们的注意，那绝对没问题)” 该段主要讲述让孩子以自己的方式欣赏艺术，与C项“Let your children enjoy art on their own terms. (让你的孩子按照自己的方式享受艺术)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 17题详解】 根据上文“If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eyes on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine. (如果他们想直接前往某个展览，就让他们吧。如果有什么东西在房间的另一边引起了他们的注意，那绝对没问题)”可知，空处会列举另一种情况，与F项“If they keep going back to a previous room, no problem at all. (如果他们一直回到以前的房间，完全没有问题)”上下文一致，if条件句与上文句式结构一致。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. (特定的艺术作品根本不重要。真正重要的是，无论出于何种原因，孩子们都与艺术建立联系)”与下文“Make simple quizzes for older children such as, ‘Who can guess the artist?’ or, ‘Who can identify the period it was made?’ Just do this with your children and you’ll find it beneficial to improve their interest. (为年龄较大的孩子做一些简单的测验，例如，‘谁能猜出艺术家是谁？’或者，‘谁能确定它的创作时期？’只要和你的孩子一起做这件事，你就会发现提高他们的兴趣是有益的)”可知，空处应为过渡句，与G项“To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward. (为了鼓励这一点，你可以将其制作成游戏，无论是否有奖励。)”上下文一致，符合文意，与小标题“Turn art into a game. (将艺术变成游戏)”相呼应，故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Don’t spend too long in the gallery. (不要在画廊里待太久)”可知，空处会讲述不能待太久的原因，与E项“Children naturally have shorter attention spans than adults. (儿童的注意力持续时间自然比成人短)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Talk to children in the language of emotions as this will stimulate their interest. Ask questions such as, ‘What exhibit did you find most exciting or boring?’ or, (用情感的语言和孩子们交谈，因为这会激发他们的兴趣。可以问这样的问题，‘你觉得哪个展品最令人兴奋或无聊？’或者，)”可知，空处应为一个问句，与讨论展品有关，B项“How did that painting make you feel? (那幅画给你带来什么感觉？)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2020, when she was just 10 years old, Angela Zhao entered her first piano competition.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. They were all immersed in the beautiful memories of the past. Suddenly, Susan said, “I don't know why we argued, and it was all because of some small things.” “And, I care about Lucky. It’s the cutest little dog in the world,” Susan added. Lily smiled and said, “Of course, we’re still good friends.” The two girls talked a lot, as if unaware of the passage of time. They were happy to be able to bridge the gap between each other. After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. Susan decided to try to understand painting, while Lily decided to try to understand science. After school, they went home together. On weekends, they took Lucky to the park for a walk, which made them feel excited. When encountering disagreements, they would analyze rather than argue. True friends will not be separated by minor conflicts. True friends understand and support each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了莉莉和苏珊从幼儿园起就是最好的朋友，她们分享一切，形影不离，她们还收养了一只受伤的流浪狗。但随着时间流逝，她们因为爱好不同及忙碌的学习而忽略彼此，最终引发矛盾，不再理会彼此。一天，莉莉下课回家见到沉思的苏珊，她过去搭话。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她们沉默地坐了一会儿，都陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写两人的心理活动及语言交流。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过交谈，她们想出了一个重建关系的计划。”可知，第二段可描写两人是如何重建友谊的。 2.续写线索：陷入回忆——坦诚交流——原谅彼此——重建友谊——找回友谊——朋友的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①争吵：argue/quarrel ②关心：care about/be concerned with ③决定做某事：decided to do/be determined to do 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao says he hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old told reporters that his library includes books that all students can enjoy-from young children in kindergartens to older students in grade 12. What’s more, his library has books for readers of all interests. Guanlao calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁). A genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories), and fiction (or imaginary stories). Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. Guanla o added, “There are also spiritual books for those who are looking for religious knowledge, hardbound and softbound books, autobiographies (自传), and many different genres that one can enjoy, all for free.” Guanlao started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has increased greatly over the years-thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors (捐赠者). Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Program for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals. “My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 4. Why did Guanlao set up the library? A. To make a lot of money. B. To entertain young children. C. To encourage people to read. D. To help parents save money. 5. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Types of books in Guanlao’s library. B. Reasons for Guanlao’s founding the library. C. The number of books in Guanlao’s library. D The source of the books in Guanlao’s library. 6. What is the attitude of local people toward Guanlao’s library? A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 7 What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Students in the Philippines are good at reading. B. Students in the Philippines prefer math and science. C. Guanlao is concerned about students’ education. D. Guanlao is deeply appreciated by the nation. C When traveling to foreign countries mastering the art of body language is key for perfect travel experience. As a body language expert, it’s easy for me to see how we communicate with those around us without even saying a word. I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk. At most times when traveling abroad, it is the only way that connects every human being, no matter the geographic location. A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking flight to your desired destination. For example, it is customary to simply eat the food that you have before you when we are out at a business lunch. In Asian customs, business lunches are strict. Finishing your plate or eating most of the food you ordered is considered rude in Asian culture. “Body language teaches us everything about a person,” says Benjamin Wey, a professor at two European universities. “My professional career would be entirely different if it were not for body language and my understanding of it.” Frequently visiting both Europe and the US, Wey has come to understand that internationally, our ability to actively respect cultural customs becomes the currency within business. One key element that Wey has taken away from his travels abroad is “that all people want to be treated with respect.” So, show your respect-and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route. Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful, and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends. Though we started with one language in common-body language, the cultures of the world have evolved (演化). It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences; it will make our world smaller as a result. 8. Why does the author think body language is important? A. It makes different cultures getting more alike. B. It can effectively show your respect to others. C. It allows us to connect with people anywhere. D. It replaces the need for verbal communication. 9. What does the passage advise travelers to do to improve their travel experience? A. Avoid making any gestures at all. B. Finish the food you order in the plate. C. Learn to use the local language fluently. D. Show respect by following local customs. 10. What does the underlined word “offensive” mean in paragraph 5? A. Rude. B. Similar. C. Awesome. D. Practical. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Cross-cultural Body Language B. The Traditional Cuisine Culture C. A Perfect Travel Experience Abroad D. A Good Way to Learn Foreign Cultures D Who doesn’t love a warm, delicious and satisfying meal? Food is what keeps human bodies full of nutrients and it provides the energy needed to go through life. But there is more to eating than just survival. People often use food to bond (建立密切联系) with others through shared meals, food gifts and at celebrations. As the Better Health Channel reports, food is used by people in all countries and cultures around the world as a way to come together and enjoy. Gathering together with friends and family, or even with strangers, nourishes (滋养) more than our bodies. And what’s interesting is that it’s not necessarily the actual food that makes the meal so important. The social interaction of the meal setting encourages people to pay attention to each other and to connect, Life Magazine reports. So how can people include these important “bonding through food” practices into their lives? Some suggest going out to eat with friends, family members or coworkers bi-monthly or even weekly. Going out to eat or sharing meals with others creates much deeper and more meaningful interactions when compared to other joint activities like watching a movie or TV together. Research conducted by the University of Oxford showed that people who eat socially are more well adjusted in social and emotional settings and are more likely to feel better about themselves. And although many people eat their meals alone, 76 percent of the people questioned think sharing a meal is a good way to bring people closer. So why is it that eating with others feels good? A study conducted by the University of Chicago concludes that it is all about trust. According the research, food helps develop trust since eating the same food together with someone else suggests that both parties are willing to bring the same thing into their body. It’s only natural that trust and cooperation are likely to develop as a result of this bonding experience. 12. What is the purpose of sharing meals beyond survival? A. To provide energy for the body. B. To bring people together socially. C. To serve as a form of entertainment. D. To celebrate personal achievements. 13. What can we know from the Life Magazine’s reports? A. Social interaction during meals is significant. B. Meals are primarily for nutritional purposes. C. The food itself is the most important aspect. D. Eating alone is more beneficial than sharing meals. 14. How can people put “bonding through food” into practice? A. By sharing food gifts more often. B. By watching movies or TV together. C. By spending more time with the family. D. By eating together with others regularly. 15. Why does sharing meals feel good? A. It provides a sense of belonging. B. It offers an opportunity for relaxation. C. It develops trust between individuals. D. It allows for the sharing of diverse opinions. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to make art fun for children As with art, it all comes down to interpretation. In reality, art galleries, like the great artworks they house, can appeal to all ages. Surely they can be great fun for children if we set out with the intention of making them so. All we need is a fresh approach. ____16____ Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture? That’s simply not attractive to children. Instead, let them decide on the pace. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eyes on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine. ____17____ Turn art into a game. The particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. ____18____ Make simple quizzes for older children such as, “Who can guess the artist?” or,“Who can identify the period it was made?” Just do this with your children and you’ll find it beneficial to improve their interest. Don’t spend too long in the gallery. ____19____ So limiting your visit to 45 minutes in the gallery is perfect for preventing boredom. With this approach, perhaps consider making a trip to an art gallery part of your day’s activities rather than the main activity. You could even visit two galleries in one day, each for 30 minutes.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
