Once when I was like nine years old a kid from my neighborhood gave me a rock, littered with yellow crystals, that he’d found in his granny’s backyard. He said it was a geode(晶球). I didn’t know what that meant, but I thought crystals were cool; I’d only ever seen them in the shops at the mall. I showed the gift to my aunt who then gave me a book on rocks that my cousin had outgrown. She explained how there were all sorts of different rocks out there, and how there was a whole science — called geology — devoted to collecting and studying them.
Because it was summer, and because I was sure I’d make an even better geologist than my cousin or the neighbor kid, I decided to give it a try. Using one of the little hand-shovels from my pop’s garden, I explored the banks of the shallow river that ran along the edge of our backyard and dug around in the little forest down the street. But all I ever turned up was the same old blue slate(石板) that we already had in spades on the side of our house. The rock book was a tease; it contained many pretty things, but none of them were to be found within the few-mile-radius(半径) through which I was allowed to ride my bike without my parents’ permission.
After a few weeks, I gave up and moved on to botany. We had awesome flower and vegetable gardens in our yard and it was far more satisfying to plant and grow and harvest (and eat!) our little crop of tomatoes and zucchini and corn than it was to search for things that might be pretty but were near impossible to find and had no practical value anyway. My failed attempt at geology had embarrassed me. And in my embarrassment, I had concluded that all of geology was foolish (I think I even threw the book away).
24. Who gave the author a book on rock?
A. A kid
B. the author’s granny
C. the author’s aunt
D. The author’s cousin
25. What did the author find with his hand -shovels?
A. Little forest B. pretty things.
C. The same old blue slate D. spades
26. How did the author feel at his failure in geology ?
A. curious B. embarrassed
C. satisfied. D. angry
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Geology is a science has nothing to do with rocks .
B. Geology failed to attract the author at last.
C. Geology was more interesting than botany for the author. .
D. Geology had some practical value for the author.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. B

Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
28. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement?
A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide.
29. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text?
A. Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous.
C Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible.
30. What can be inferred from the text?
A. People don’t like others to step into their houses.
B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D. People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Love Your Neighbors B. An Amazing Woman
C. Happy Front Yard Time D. Tables Where All Are Welcome
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段“Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.”(克里斯汀·谢尔是“绿松石桌”的创始人,这是一个普通人想要在自己的前院建立社区的运动。)和最后一段“A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.”(从德州开始的十年后,成千上万的绿松石桌遍布全球50个州和13个国家。)可知,文章主要讲述克里斯汀·谢尔在前院放置了一张青绿色餐桌,与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的宣传和带动下,现已形成了一场全国性的运动。因此D项“欢迎所有人的桌子”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

When I got home after dropping out of college in my junior year because of depression, I didn’t want to get out of bed every day. But my parents wanted me to, so I just removed myself from the living room to the couch. Sometimes I would turn on the TV and watch marathons, but mostly I just sat there, lost in thought.
One day when I was lying on the couch, not knowing what to do, I thought since I had been out of school for a long time, I had better do something productive in my life. I looked at what I could do. I could attend online college classes, go to in-person events just to get out of the house, or take up a hobby. But none of these things made me happy, and my depression seemed to follow me inseparably.
However, there was something that was my thing. No matter what kind of day I’m having now, the mere mention of start-ups still cheers me up. I have been doing business in some kinds of forms ever since I was a kid, and despite everything, this enthusiasm has always been in my heart.
So I started thinking of ideas, seeing which one could become practical. I spent my days being glued to a wide purple notebook and a pen in hand, sometimes moving from the couch to the table on our back porch (门廊) in the mornings. If I got up early enough, I’d watch the sun come up. It was there, in the still mornings, that I learned about life and started to look back on mine.
With time going on, the depression started to lift. I was making more progress in my recovery, and the good days were more frequent than the bad. I started a couple of different businesses, eventually settling on a web design business, and did a lot of experiments, which changed my ideas. After a period of time, things started to work.
32. What seemed to trouble the author all the time?

C. Attractive TV programs. D. Certain mental problems.
33. What did the author begin to think of doing one day?
A. Finding a way out. B. Going back to school.
C. Escaping from home. D. Hosting out-door activities.
34. What exactly lifted the author’s spirits?
A. Taking notes attentively. B. Appreciating early mornings.
C. Recalling the cheerful childhood. D. Following the passion in business.
35. What do you think of the author?
A. Lonely but talented. B. Passive but productive.
C. Stressed but optimistic. D. Uncreative but changeable.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C

本段的主旨句是段首“Learn a language to make new friends. (学习一种语言来结交新朋友)”,所以本段都在围绕学习新语言这个主题;G选项“For maximum fun, choose one you’ve always been interested in learning. (为了获得最大的乐趣,选择一种你一直感兴趣的语言)”中的one指代前文的a language,maximum fun呼应空前“There are few things more fun than being able to speak another language.(没有什么比能说另一种语言更有趣的了)”的fun,且与空后“ Then find learning resources online. (然后在线查找学习资源)”构成顺序关系,先选择自己感兴趣的语言,再查找相关学习资源。故答案为G。
【37题详解】
空后“You can learn to create a website from the very beginning with HTML. Or, you can learn to create a website without computer language skills on a publishing platform like WordPress. (你可以从一开始就学习使用HTML创建网站。或者你也可以学习在WordPress这样的发布平台上创建一个没有计算机语言技能的网站)”用具体例子强调create a website,所以A选项“Create a website to learn about web publishing. (创建网站去学习网络出版)”符合题意,同时该空置于段首,结合其它段落结构,是本段的主旨句。故答案为A。
【38题详解】
本段的主旨句是A选项“Create a website to learn about web publishing. (创建网站去学习网络出版)”,所以本段都在围绕website这一主题,E选项“Consider publishing your photos, videos and original writings. (考虑发布你的照片、视频和原创文章)”是具体发布的内容,选项中的publishing呼应主题。故答案为E。
【39题详解】
本段的主旨句是段首“Find a job to earn some money. (找份工作挣点钱)”,所以本段围绕找兼职这一主题,C选项“Restaurants and stores often hire teens during the summer. (餐馆和商店在夏季经常雇佣青少年)”是作者具体推荐的兼职工作地点。故答案为C。
【40题详解】
空后“If they’re free, they might even organize a fun road trip or two around campus visits. (如果他们有空,他们甚至会组织一次或两次有趣的校园自驾游)”中的代词they说明该空含有复数名词且指人,D选项“Consider asking your parents to take you on campus visits. (考虑让你的父母带你参观校园)”中的your parents等同于后文的they,且campus visits原词复现。故答案为D。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据为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。
Aladdin and his mother lived a poor life in Arabia. One day, he got an old lamp under a tree. WHOOSH! When he rubbed it, noise, fire and red smoke came from the lamp, and out of the smoke came a very big jinnee(神仙). “ I’ am slave of the lamp. What is your wish,master?” Cried the jinnee.
With this magic lamp Aladdin and his mother became rich and he even married the princess. He owned all the happiness. Meanwhile, he was respected by people around for his kindness to the poor. However, he was envied by Abanazar a magician from Morocco who wanted Aladdin’s magic lamp very much but he didn’t know where the lamp was hidden. So he got out his seven black stones which were magic too, and put them in water. Then he was informed that the lamp was in a palace in Arabia.
Abanazar flew to the palace and plotted his dirty plans. For the next week Abanazar watched Aladdin’s palace until Aladdin and his friends left the palace to go hunting in the hills one day.
Abanazar passed off himself as an old man, selling lamps in the street. “But not for money.” a slave-girl reported to the princess, “the old man said, ‘New lamps for old. Give me an old lamp and you can have a new one’. So every body’s getting a new lamp.”
“Yes, my husband’s old lamp! Go and give it to the old man”, the princess knew nothing about the lamp and its magic, “ Aladdin will be happy to have a nice new lamp!”
The old man(it was Abanazar ,of course) fled into the hills with the magic lamp in such a hurry that his magic stones were left on the floor in front of the palace.
Para 1. Abanazar just couldn’t wait to rub the lamp.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. It was many,many miles from Arabia to Morocco,but Aladdin was there in a second.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Abanazar just couldn’t wait to rub the lamp. Just in a flash, the ginnee appeared, “What’s your wish,my master?”. Envied Aladdin for so long, Abanazar was desperate to take everything from him, including his wealth, the grand palace, his wife and even his life. “But I shall not kill people,” the jinnee refused. With some dissatisfaction, Abanazar ordered the jinnee to carry all back to Morocco. Soon, when Aladdin was back home from hunting, he was too shocked to utter a word at the sight. His happiness was stolen! Annoyed, his mind was in chaos.His tears were welling up and dropped down on the floor,coinciddently on the magic seven black stones. The stones informed Aladdin of the truth and only if he found the magic lamp was he able to get everything back to Arabia. Aladdin got on the journey to Morocco, avenging.(142)
It was many,many miles from Arabia to Morocco,but Aladdin was there in a second. With the help of the seven black stones, Aladdin not only found his palace but also the princess soon. “I apologized for my ignorant, but Abanazar always carries the lamp with himself.”the guilty princess was crying. Aladdin comforted her and gave her some sleeping- powder from the magic stones, telling her to do as she was told and slid to hide in another room. Minutes later, Abanazar was in. The princess pretended to be happy to see him and suggested a drink with him. Abanazar accepted it with pleasure and fell into sleep, forever. From Abanazar’s pocket,Aladdin found the magic lamp and rubbed it. Noise, fire and red smoke came out, and happiness came back to Aladdin again. (125)

Once when I was like nine years old a kid from my neighborhood gave me a rock, littered with yellow crystals, that he’d found in his granny’s backyard. He said it was a geode(晶球). I didn’t know what that meant, but I thought crystals were cool; I’d only ever seen them in the shops at the mall. I showed the gift to my aunt who then gave me a book on rocks that my cousin had outgrown. She explained how there were all sorts of different rocks out there, and how there was a whole science — called geology — devoted to collecting and studying them.
Because it was summer, and because I was sure I’d make an even better geologist than my cousin or the neighbor kid, I decided to give it a try. Using one of the little hand-shovels from my pop’s garden, I explored the banks of the shallow river that ran along the edge of our backyard and dug around in the little forest down the street. But all I ever turned up was the same old blue slate(石板) that we already had in spades on the side of our house. The rock book was a tease; it contained many pretty things, but none of them were to be found within the few-mile-radius(半径) through which I was allowed to ride my bike without my parents’ permission.
After a few weeks, I gave up and moved on to botany. We had awesome flower and vegetable gardens in our yard and it was far more satisfying to plant and grow and harvest (and eat!) our little crop of tomatoes and zucchini and corn than it was to search for things that might be pretty but were near impossible to find and had no practical value anyway. My failed attempt at geology had embarrassed me. And in my embarrassment, I had concluded that all of geology was foolish (I think I even threw the book away).

Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
28. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement?
A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide.
29. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text?

30. What can be inferred from the text?

B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D. People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Love Your Neighbors B. An Amazing Woman
C. Happy Front Yard Time D. Tables Where All Are Welcome
D
When I got home after dropping out of college in my junior year because of depression, I didn’t want to get out of bed every day. But my parents wanted me to, so I just removed myself from the living room to the couch. Sometimes I would turn on the TV and watch marathons, but mostly I just sat there, lost in thought.
One day when I was lying on the couch, not knowing what to do, I thought since I had been out of school for a long time, I had better do something productive in my life. I looked at what I could do. I could attend online college classes, go to in-person events just to get out of the house, or take up a hobby. But none of these things made me happy, and my depression seemed to follow me inseparably.
However, there was something that was my thing. No matter what kind of day I’m having now, the mere mention of start-ups still cheers me up. I have been doing business in some kinds of forms ever since I was a kid, and despite everything, this enthusiasm has always been in my heart.
So I started thinking of ideas, seeing which one could become practical. I spent my days being glued to a wide purple notebook and a pen in hand, sometimes moving from the couch to the table on our back porch (门廊) in the mornings. If I got up early enough, I’d watch the sun come up. It was there, in the still mornings, that I learned about life and started to look back on mine.
With time going on, the depression started to lift. I was making more progress in my recovery, and the good days were more frequent than the bad. I started a couple of different businesses, eventually settling on a web design business, and did a lot of experiments, which changed my ideas. After a period of time, things started to work.
32. What seemed to trouble the author all the time?

A. Finding a way out. B. Going back to school.
C. Escaping from home. D. Hosting out-door activities.
34. What exactly lifted the author’s spirits?
A. Taking notes attentively. B. Appreciating early mornings.
C. Recalling the cheerful childhood. D. Following the passion in business.
35. What do you think of the author?
A. Lonely but talented. B. Passive but productive.
C. Stressed but optimistic. D. Uncreative but changeable.

Aladdin and his mother lived a poor life in Arabia. One day, he got an old lamp under a tree. WHOOSH! When he rubbed it, noise, fire and red smoke came from the lamp, and out of the smoke came a very big jinnee(神仙). “ I’ am slave of the lamp. What is your wish,master?” Cried the jinnee.
With this magic lamp, Aladdin and his mother became rich and he even married the princess. He owned all the happiness. Meanwhile, he was respected by people around for his kindness to the poor. However, he was envied by Abanazar a magician from Morocco who wanted Aladdin’s magic lamp very much but he didn’t know where the lamp was hidden. So he got out his seven black stones which were magic too, and put them in water. Then he was informed that the lamp was in a palace in Arabia.
Abanazar flew to the palace and plotted his dirty plans. For the next week Abanazar watched Aladdin’s palace until Aladdin and his friends left the palace to go hunting in the hills one day.
Abanazar passed off himself as an old man, selling lamps in the street. “But not for money.” a slave-girl reported to the princess, “the old man said, ‘New lamps for old. Give me an old lamp and you can have a new one’. So every body’s getting a new lamp.”
“Yes, my husband’s old lamp! Go and give it to the old man”, the princess knew nothing about the lamp and its magic, “ Aladdin will be happy to have a nice new lamp!”
The old man(it was Abanazar ,of course) fled into the hills with the magic lamp in such a hurry that his magic stones were left on the floor in front of the palace.
Para 1. Abanazar just couldn’t wait to rub the lamp.
