I taught home economics for over 40 years and I’m now retired, but do bed and breakfast, and cook privately in other people’s homes. Together with our grandchildren, this keeps me busy. The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steel work, which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel, which is combined with more traditional elements like the cabinetry (橱柜). We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond. It has carefully placed picture windows, which provide ever-changing views as the seasons continue. We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn (仓库) to the next, in order to take advantage of the views. Our architect creatively transformed our basic concept by turning it 90 degrees to include a large glass wall, which we hadn’t thought of. I am always cooking, so I wanted plenty of space, and the ability to entertain on a large scale(大范围) as well as somewhere for the two of us to eat. I love the size, the natural light and the peace and quiet, together with the amazing outlook. We have a large family and the open nature of the kitchen and outdoor terrace make it great for entertaining -but the most relaxing moment is sitting with a cup of tea and, Bill, our dog. I also enjoy the early mornings, watching the sunrise when no one else is up. I particularly love festivals in spring when all the family is home. The weather is warming up, we can open the doors to the garden, and the grandchildren are hunting for surprises from mother nature. 24．What do we know about the author? A．She worked as a teacher before. B．She keeps her grandchildren busy. C．She was tired of doing housework. D．She likes visiting other people’s homes. 25．What does paragraph 2 focus on about the kitchen? A．Its style and age. B．Its location and views. C．Its design and characteristics. D．Its size and materials. 26．Why did the author and her family move the kitchen? A．To have bigger room for meals. B．To obtain better visual effects. C．To follow the architect’s advice. D．To offer more family activities. 27．What’s the author’s attitude towards her life now? A．Anxious. B．Content. C．Sensitive. D．Doubtful. C In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said. The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo. Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical (对称的), and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict. Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO. 28．What do we know about tulou? A．Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status. B．Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally. C．Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement. D．They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function. 29．What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict? A．Enough food. B．Escape tunnels. C．Small windows. D．Defensive weapons. 30．What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou? A．Unconcerned. B．Favorable. C．Negative. D．Unclear. 31．Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A．Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008 B．Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending C．Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings D．Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments D When parents discover their children have lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasures are capable of such a trick. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them. Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children's honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie. The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with(未受惩罚) almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a“truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other people's children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not. Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said,“The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children's lies. Parents' truth bias may result in parents being less doubtful about their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking. Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people's children. 32．What does the underlined word“impair”in Paragraph 2 mean? A．show B．develop C．damage D．recognize 33．When lying to their parents, children can't be easily found because ________. A．their parents pretend not to see the lies B．their parents aren't prepared for the lies C．they are very good at hiding their lies D．they know how to lie to their parents 34．What does Dr Evans want to find about children's lying? A．What makes parents lose trust in their children B．What causes children to tell lies to their parents C．What makes parents fail to see their children's lies D．What affects children's relations with their parents 35．What can be inferred from Dr Evans's study in the last two paragraphs? A．Parents tend to protect their own children B．Lying is a part of children's development C．Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies D．Parents can judge lies told by children of others more easily 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 Fall Off a Skateboard Safely Skateboarding is very popular exercise. Learning how to fall safely in the course of skateboarding will keep you safer and relatively pain-free. In skateboarding, falling is a big part. It’s unavoidable. 36 Roll to land on your shoulder or back instead. When you fall, roll to land on your shoulder or back instead, tucking (收拢) in your elbows. The roll takes the energy out of the fall. If you can, roll with the fall — land on your shoulder and let the force of the fall play itself out with the roll. 37 Keep your limbs loose to absorb the fall. Stiffening up (变得僵硬) increases the risk of breaking bones. Learn to run out of tricks. This is where you try something thrilling and the board goes wrong and you catch yourself running. 38 But if you do this right, you’ll get out of a lot of falls! Wear kneepads on ramps (斜坡). If you are skateboarding on ramps, wearing kneepads can keep you safer from injuries. Teach yourself to always fall to your knees and slide down the ramp. 39 Just run up the side of a ramp, drop to your knees and then slide down. Practice like this for a while to get it in your head. 40 Your instincts (直觉) when you fall are to throw your hands out. But you shouldn’t do that when there’s concrete below you. You could break your wrists. You can buy wrist guards for skateboarding. These can help if you’re afraid of catching yourself with your hands. But it’s better to learn to overlook and control your instincts so you can fall more carefully. A．It takes some getting used to. B．It will hurt a little, but not so bad. C．You can actually practice this and it is fun too. D．Learn never to catch yourself with your hands. E．Employ wrist guards to avoid injury to your wrists. F．You can avoid serious injury with following practical tips. G．So you should keep away from this type of exercise as much as possible. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Clayton Guy, a 62-year-old teacher from Arcadia High School in Phoenix, Arizona, was in trouble over the cost of his wife’s important heart surgery.

You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play. When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长). Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions. Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive. Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning. “When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated. As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A C A B B B A A B B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C A A B C C B C B A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B B D A C B B D A B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B C B C D F B A C D 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 A C B B D C B A C D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B A C D D 56．delivered 57．it 58．which/that 59．development 60．by 61．traditional 62．committed 63．firmly 64．heard 65．appealing 66．Dear Jack, I’m thrilled to inform you about an upcoming event that I believe you’ll find fascinating — an exhibition dedicated to Chinese Cinema soon to be held at the Chengdu Museum.

Yours, Li Hua 67．He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). At the news, I sighed and forced a smile. Sensing my disappointment, Artie put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged, “Seize the chance and you can shine too. Believe in yourself!” His words giving me a burst of confidence, I nodded admittedly, determined to be the best understudy. In the following days, I spent hours every day rehearsing my lines, perfecting my expressions and practicing each act. Gradually, I grew more confident and was fully prepared for the possibility of stepping onto the stage if needed. On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. Panic filled the air backstage. Calm outside but nervous inside, I took a deep breath and stepped forward. All those days of hard work and preparation had led to this moment. As the curtains rose, I walked onto the stage with a newfound courage. The lights shone on me, and I delivered my lines with full of passion and confidence. With the music fading away, the audience broke into thunderous applause. At that very moment, I knew I fulfilled my mission as an understudy. That day, I became the star of the show, proving to myself and everyone that chances are for those who are prepared. 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
