Mr. Moster, an American professor, arrived at the classroom on time on the first day in Brazil, but no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few students felt sorry for their lateness. The professor talked to the Brazilian students about lateness and found something surprising. If the Brazilian students had a lunch date with a friend, most of them felt the friends were late for about half an hour. In an American university, classes not only begin on time, but always end on time. On the other hand, in Brazil, neither the teachers nor the students arrive at the starting time. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil. As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being impolite. So he was able to understand and felt comfortable in the new culture. 11. It is important to be on time in America. A. Right. B. Wrong. 12. Many Brazilian students felt sorry for their lateness. A. Right. B. Wrong. 13. In Brazil, teachers are usually on time while students are usually late. A. Right. B. Wrong. 14. The professor felt uncomfortable about students’ lateness after his study. A. Right. B. Wrong. 15. The article tells us different countries have different cultures. A. Right. B. Wrong. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文要讲述美国人比较守时，而巴西人不守时，经常迟到，但是这个是巴西人的文化。所以告诉我们不同的国家有不同的文化。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the United States, it is important to be on time”可知，在美国，守时很重要。故选A。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few students felt sorry for their lateness.”可知，很少有学生为迟到感到抱歉，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On the other hand, in Brazil, neither the teachers nor the students arrive at the starting time.”可知，在巴西，老师和学生都不准时，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being impolite. So he was able to understand and felt comfortable in the new culture.”可知，教授了解到巴西学生并没有不礼貌。他能够理解并在新文化中感到舒适。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文可知，本文通过美国与巴西对比说明了不同国家有不同文化。故选A。 第二节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能回答所提问题或能完成所给句子的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A China and Westen countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea-pigs are ugly (丑陋的), lazy and stupid (愚蠢的). Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig.” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English, there are some sayings like “Eating like a pig.” and “Pigs might fly.” None of them are complimentary. However, pigs have some good qualities (品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not. A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, the Adventures of Mcdull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, Mcdull, has a heart of gold and always works hard for his dreams. Most people want quick success, but Mcdull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again. Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities. 16. China and Western countries have ________ in cultures according to the passage. A. the same idea on pigs B. different ideas on pigs C. the same idea on all the animals D. something different in cultures about certain festivals. 17.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国和西方国家对猪的看法。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea-pigs are ugly (丑陋的), lazy and stupid (愚蠢的).”可知，东西方对猪有相同的观点。故选A。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Just look at some Chinese sayings such as ‘Boiling a dead pig.’ and ‘A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.’ And in English, there are some sayings like ‘Eating like a pig.’ and ‘Pigs might fly.’”可知，这些都不是赞美的句子，故划线部分complimentary意为“赞美的”。故选B。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They are even as smart as dogs and elephants.”可知，它们和狗和大象一样聪明。故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family.”及“Mcdull, has a heart of gold and always works hard for his dreams”可知，作者给出了两个卡通例子是为了展示猪有一些好的品质。故选C。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了对猪的一些看法，“对猪的看法”符合本文标题。故选A。 B City life is cool, but is country life cooler? More people in Britain want to live in the country, and this is causing problems in some rural (乡村的) areas. The population of British cities has been falling for years. Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about 30 percent of their population in 30 years. But Britain’s total population is still growing. Where are the people going? Answer: to the country. Small villages are becoming more popular. People have more space and most houses have gardens. But problems there are growing. Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the cities, so they are traveling long distances each day to go to work. Lots of young people feel that life in the country is boring, as well. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse. Another problem is that parts of the countryside are starting to disappear. People seem to be bringing their problems from the cities to the rural (乡村的) areas they now live in. On some days, air pollution can be a big problem in large parts of southern England, not just in London. Crime (犯罪) has become a serious problem in rural areas. Perhaps there is hope for the future. Soon, Britain’s population will stop rising. In 100 years, there will be fewer people in Britain than today—perhaps two million less. 21. According to the passage, where do more British people like to live? A. In big cities. B. In the countryside. C. In small cities. D. In the foreign countries. 22. What does the underling word “they” refers to (指代)? A. The people living in the little villages. B. The popular small villages in Britain. C. The problems in the big cities in Britain. D.

It takes people lots of time to go to work every day. C. The problems in the cities won’t happen in the countryside. D. The life in the countryside is boring to many young people. 24. How many people may Britain have in 100 years? A. Two million less. B. More than two million. C. One million less. D. More than one million. 25. What is the best title of the passage? A. Working in the big city B. City life is wonderful C. Is countryside life cooler? D. Driving in the countryside 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了英国城市人口向乡村迁移的现象及其带来的问题。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第3、4段“Where are the people going? Answer: to the country.”可知，大部分英国人喜欢住在乡下，故选B。 【22题详解】 代词指代题。根据第6段“Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse.”可知，“them”指的是小村庄的交通问题，故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第6段“Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse.”可知，“城市的问题不会在农村发生”是错误的，故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In 100 years, there will be fewer people in Britain than today—perhaps two million less.”可知，在100年后英国人口可能会减少200万，故选A。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“City life is cool, but is country life cooler?”及全文可知，全文讨论了乡村生活相对于城市生活的各种问题，因此标题为“乡村生活更酷吗？”是最佳选择，故选C。 C If you have some free time, will you watch an enjoyable short video or read an interesting story? If you can only choose one from the two, what should you do? The video may be your better choice（选择）. We are now living in a modern world. With the development of science and technology, almost everything in our life becomes smart. These years, watching videos online is becoming more and more popular. You can see many people watching short videos on the bus or the subway in order to relax after a day’s work. However the number of people reading words is getting smaller. Some people are afraid that videos will one day take the place of words. But will it really happen? Videos can in fact help us get new information more quickly. But can they help us learn about the ancient（古老的）world very well? Many stories in history are in words. We can truly learn about what people did many years ago through reading these words. Short videos are a kind of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. We often want to look for the second video at once after finishing watching one. But can we always remember what these videos are about? When we read a long story well, we often remember what it is about. Words also let us use our imagination, but videos don’t. In a word, videos can change the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun, but words will never go away. Words will be like stars shining from the past to the future. 26. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By asking questions. B. By giving numbers. C. By telling stories. D. By comparing facts. 27. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. People’s worry now. B. Popular short video apps. C. The reason for reading words. D. Things we learn from watching short videos. 28. What does the underlined word “instant” most probably mean? A. Funny. B. Healthy. C. Famous. D. Fast. 29. What can videos do according to the writer? ①Change how we know about our world. ②Let us use our imagination. ③Change how we enjoy ourselves. ④Shine like stars all the time. A. ②③ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ①④ 30. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Videos can’t really take the place of words. B. Words are less useful and more boring than videos. C. Watching videos—A more popular way to have fun. D. Reading words—A better way to learn about ourselves. 【答案】26. A 27. A 28. D 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了短视频文化，人们在休闲时间选择短视频的原因，以及它无法取代文本的观点。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If you can only choose one from the two, what should you do?”可知，作者在通过提问的方式让读者去选择，从而引出短视频这个话题。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some people are afraid that videos will one day take the place of words.”可知，人们害怕文本将会被短视频取代，这也是人们的担忧。故选A。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“They come into and leave our minds like flying cars.”可知，短视频就像飞驰的汽车，在我们的脑海中来去匆忙，由此可见这是一种“速食文化”，说明“instant”在此处表示与“快速”相关的意思。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“videos can change the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun”可知，短视频改变了人们了解世界和让自己快乐的方式。故选B。 【30题详解】 文章主旨题。根据最后一段“In a word, videos can change the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun, but words will never go away.”可知，短视频虽然改变了人们了解世界和让自己快乐的方式，但文本却永远不会离开。因此判断本文主要讲了文本不会被取代。故选A。 非选择题（三大题，共计40分） 四、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。每空1个单词。 Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about ____31____ (they).

They live with their mothers until they are about two—and-a-half years old. However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The polar bears are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice—polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on. Ordinary people don’t care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world.

Mr. Moster, an American professor, arrived at the classroom on time on the first day in Brazil, but no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few students felt sorry for their lateness. The professor talked to the Brazilian students about lateness and found something surprising. If the Brazilian students had a lunch date with a friend, most of them felt the friends were late for about half an hour. In an American university, classes not only begin on time, but always end on time. On the other hand, in Brazil, neither the teachers nor the students arrive at the starting time. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil. As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being impolite. So he was able to understand and felt comfortable in the new culture. 11. It is important to be on time in America. A. Right. B. Wrong. 12. Many Brazilian students felt sorry for their lateness. A. Right. B. Wrong. 13. In Brazil, teachers are usually on time while students are usually late. A. Right. B. Wrong. 14. The professor felt uncomfortable about students’ lateness after his study. A.

Wrong. 第二节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能回答所提问题或能完成所给句子的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A China and Westen countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea-pigs are ugly (丑陋的), lazy and stupid (愚蠢的). Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig.” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English, there are some sayings like “Eating like a pig.” and “Pigs might fly.” None of them are complimentary. However, pigs have some good qualities (品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not. A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, the Adventures of Mcdull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, Mcdull, has a heart of gold and always works hard for his dreams. Most people want quick success, but Mcdull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again. Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities. 16. China and Western countries have ________ in cultures according to the passage. A. the same idea on pigs B. different ideas on pigs C. the same idea on all the animals D. something different in cultures about certain festivals. 17. What does the underlined word “complimentary” mean in Chinese? A. 负面的 B. 赞美的 C. 固执的 D. 欢喜的 18. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Pigs have bad memories. B. Pigs are very kind to people. C. Pigs don’t know who treats them well. D. Pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants. 19. The writer gives the two examples of cartoons in the passage to show ________. A. pigs are slow and patient B. Children like pigs very much C. pigs have some good qualities. D. the two cartoons are well-known 20. What’s the best title (标题) of the passage? A. Opinions on Pigs B. Opinions on Animals C. Opinions on Cartoons D. Opinions on some sayings about pigs B City life is cool, but is country life cooler? More people in Britain want to live in the country, and this is causing problems in some rural (乡村的) areas. The population of British cities has been falling for years. Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about 30 percent of their population in 30 years. But Britain’s total population is still growing. Where are the people going? Answer: to the country. Small villages are becoming more popular. People have more space and most houses have gardens. But problems there are growing. Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the cities, so they are traveling long distances each day to go to work. Lots of young people feel that life in the country is boring, as well. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse. Another problem is that parts of the countryside are starting to disappear. People seem to be bringing their problems from the cities to the rural (乡村的) areas they now live in. On some days, air pollution can be a big problem in large parts of southern England, not just in London. Crime (犯罪) has become a serious problem in rural areas. Perhaps there is hope for the future. Soon, Britain’s population will stop rising. In 100 years, there will be fewer people in Britain than today—perhaps two million less. 21. According to the passage, where do more British people like to live? A. In big cities. B. In the countryside. C. In small cities. D. In the foreign countries. 22. What does the underling word “they” refers to (指代)? A. The people living in the little villages. B. The popular small villages in Britain. C. The problems in the big cities in Britain. D. The traffic problems in the little villages. 23. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about living in the countryside? A. People have more space and most houses have gardens. B. It takes people lots of time to go to work every day. C. The problems in the cities won’t happen in the countryside. D. The life in the countryside is boring to many young people. 24. How many people may Britain have in 100 years? A. Two million less. B. More than two million. C. One million less. D. More than one million. 25. What is the best title of the passage? A Working in the big city B. City life is wonderful C. Is countryside life cooler? D. Driving in the countryside C If you have some free time, will you watch an enjoyable short video or read an interesting story? If you can only choose one from the two, what should you do? The video may be your better choice（选择）. We are now living in a modern world. With the development of science and technology, almost everything in our life becomes smart. These years, watching videos online is becoming more and more popular. You can see many people watching short videos on the bus or the subway in order to relax after a day’s work. However the number of people reading words is getting smaller. Some people are afraid that videos will one day take the place of words. But will it really happen? Videos can in fact help us get new information more quickly. But can they help us learn about the ancient（古老的）world very well? Many stories in history are in words. We can truly learn about what people did many years ago through reading these words. Short videos are a kind of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. We often want to look for the second video at once after finishing watching one. But can we always remember what these videos are about? When we read a long story well, we often remember what it is about. Words also let us use our imagination, but videos don’t. In a word, videos can change the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun, but words will never go away. Words will be like stars shining from the past to the future. 26. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By asking questions. B. By giving numbers. C. By telling stories. D. By comparing facts. 27. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. People’s worry now. B. Popular short video apps. C. The reason for reading words. D. Things we learn from watching short videos. 28. What does the underlined word “instant” most probably mean? A. Funny. B. Healthy. C. Famous. D. Fast. 29. What can videos do according to the writer? ①Change how we know about our world. ②Let us use our imagination. ③Change how we enjoy ourselves. ④Shine like stars all the time. A. ②③ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ①④ 30. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Videos can’t really take the place of words. B. Words are less useful and more boring than videos. C. Watching videos—A more popular way to have fun. D. Reading words—A better way to learn about ourselves. 非选择题（三大题，共计40分） 四、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。每空1个单词。 Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about ____31____ (they).

In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. 通常，北极熊在饭后会小睡一会儿。 A polar bear can have 2—3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two—and-a-half years old. However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The polar bears are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice—polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on. Ordinary people don’t care but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world.
