But other images also came out of the storm: family photos. After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker found herself with about 200 family photos that didn’t belong to her. It started after the storm. Schenker’s house weathered Helene well, but she said her friend’s entire home was destroyed by flood. Schenker and her friend went for walk to check out the home, which was one of the many local homes that was destroyed. “We spent about four hours digging through the ruins, looking for my friend’s belongings,” Schenker told CBS News last month. “And during the search, I found five photographs. We laid out the photos along the river bank, hoping they would be reunited with their owners.” Schenker later uploaded the photos online. She said she found about 100 photos herself, but picked up about another 100 from others who found them, including search and rescue teams. To date, she has reunited around 15% of the photos with their owners. She still adds new photos to Instagram daily. Each reunion is a heartwarming reminder that what she’s doing is important. “I’m grateful for being able to do this. When you hand something so special to somebody and then give them a hug — it’s such a privilege,” she said. Schenker mails photos to people who are no longer in the area, but she also hand delivers the ones that belong to families who stayed close by. In one case, a college-aged son found his family’s photos on her Instagram, reached out to Schenker and connected her with his mom. “We have now found five photos of this one family, of these two sons, and when I met with the mom to reunite the photos, she shared that one of her sons had actually passed,” Schenker said. “And so, when they lost their home, they lost all memory of this child, which is absolutely devastating in addition to the disaster that has already happened.” She said she recently went for another so-called photo walk — where she dug through ruins to find images — and recognized the woman’s late son in yet another photo. 4. What do we know about Taylor Schenker? A. Her home was destroyed by hurricane Helene. B. She looked for missing photos for a living. C. She helped many hurricane survivors by collecting photos. D. She was known for reuniting people with their missing families. 5. What does the underlined word ones in paragraph 6 refer to? A Families. B. Photos. C. Mails. D. Lives. 6. The author proves the importance of Schenker’s efforts by all the following EXCEPT ________. A. making comparisons B. providing data C. quoting comments D. giving examples 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Families reunited on social media B. Looking into the ruins for hope C. Hurricane torn down millions of homes D. A special reunion after the storm 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Taylor Schenker在飓风Helene过后，帮助幸存者寻找和归还家庭照片的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Schenker’s house weathered Helene well, but she said her friend’s entire home was destroyed by flood. (Schenker的房子在飓风Helene中安然无恙，但她说她朋友的整个家被洪水摧毁了)”可知，A选项错误。根据第四段中的“Schenker later uploaded the photos online. She said she found about 100 photos herself, but picked up about another 100 from others who found them, including search and rescue teams.(Schenker后来将这些照片上传到网上。她说她自己找到了大约100张照片，但从其他人那里又收集了大约100张，包括搜救队找到的)”可知，她通过收集照片帮助了许多飓风幸存者。B和D选项在文中没有提到。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Schenker mails photos to people who are no longer in the area, but she also hand delivers the ones that belong to families who stayed close by.(Schenker将照片邮寄给那些已经不在该地区的人，但她也会亲手将那些属于住在附近的家庭的照片送给他们)”中的deliver和belong to families可知，ones指代的是photos。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To date, she has reunited around 15% of the photos with their owners.(到目前为止，她已经将大约15%的照片归还给了它们的主人)”和第五段中的“Each reunion is a heartwarming reminder that what she’s doing is important.(每次重逢都是一个温馨的提醒，表明她所做的工作很重要)”及第六段中的“In one case, a college-aged son found his family’s photos on her Instagram, reached out to Schenker and connected her with his mom.(在一个案例中，一个大学生在她的Instagram上找到了他家的照片，联系了Schenker，并让她与他妈妈取得了联系)”可知，作者通过提供数据、引用评论、举例来证明Schenker努力的重要性。A选项making comparisons(进行比较)在文中没有体现。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，主要讲述了Taylor Schenker在飓风Helene过后，帮助幸存者寻找和归还家庭照片的故事，强调了她所做的工作的重要性。 “Families reunited on social media”虽然提到了社交媒体，但文章的重点是照片的重聚，而不是通过社交媒体重聚家庭。“Looking into the ruins for hope”和“Hurricane torn down millions of homes”虽然与文章内容相关，但不够具体，无法准确概括文章的核心故事。由此可知，“A special reunion after the storm(风暴后的特殊重逢)”最能概括文章的主题，强调了在灾难后通过照片实现的特殊重聚。故选D。 C On 1 April 1977, second-hand bookshop owner Richard Booth put on a homemade crown, marched through the streets of Hay-on-Wye and declared himself “King of Hay” outside the gates of the Welsh town’s castle. Holding a scepter (权杖), Booth told confused locals and press that he made himself a “king” to encourage tourism and reviving the town’s declining economy. Booth issued passports, stamps and currency for his new “nation”. He would also later made his horse Goldie “prime minister” after a few too many drinks in the local pub. His fans and supporters would be awarded citizenship, and he would rule his self-declared kingdom until his death in 2019. The bookseller’s bold move for independence saved the town. “A lot of small towns were in decline at the time,” explained Dr. Reg Clark, who worked for Booth in the 1970s. “People in rural areas would get an education, but then they would move out and get jobs elsewhere.” Booth’s marketing strategy changed everything. With a population of just 1,500, the town remains home to some 20-plus bookshops and hosts the United Kingdom’s largest literary event, the annual Hay Festival. In the middle of the Hay Festival, festival goers can taste local street food from pop-up food stands and market stalls in the surrounding street. However, it is the books that always keep visitors stand in line. The second-hand bookshops, antique stores and a fascinating map shop lining the main street are among the top choices for festivalgoers. However, before Booth opened Hay-on-Wye’s first bookstore in 1962, there was hardly any interest in books. By 1976 Hay-on-Wye had become known as the world’s first “Town of Books” as bookshops sprang up on every street comer. Despite the harsh economic reality, Booth never quit his chosen career path. By announcing himself a king, Booth attracted publicity as crowds gathered to visit the strange “Town of Books” ruled by a king. Interestingly, the Hay festival was not the creation of Booth. In 1988, Booth even picked a fight with the just-founded Hay Festival, blaming the festival for focusing only on newly published books, thus damaging the local second-hand bookshops. Booth passed away on 20 August 2019, but the “King of Hay” continues. Booth’s real legacy isn’t a flag or even a kingdom, but a lively, book-loving town. “As his friend, I knew that Richard loved Hay and he wanted the best for it. Not because it was his kingdom, but because he loved the community,” said Clark. 8. Which of the following best describes Richard Booth? A. Passionate and patient. B. Sharp-minded but eccentric. C. Kind-hearted but pessimistic. D. Easygoing and brave. 9. Why did Richard Booth declare himself a king? A. It was his desire to rule “Town of Books” as a king. B. He was desperate for attention and publicity to save his own bookstore. C. He was determined to bring the town out of an economic decline. D. He was trying to pick a fight with a new book festival to help secondhand bookshops. 10. What can we learn about the Hay Festival? A. It was founded by the “king” of Hay-on-Wye to attract tourists. B. Books are the sole focus of the festival and visitors can experience nothing else. C. It is a popular book festival held on yearly basis. D. It was criticized by visitors for damaging the interest of second-hand bookshops. 11. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Booth’s book business was smooth sailing ever since he started it. B. The town became famous before Hay festival was created. C. Booth’s book shop had no competition until it was threatened by the Hay festival. D. Booth was loved by his fans, who were awarded citizenship of his kingdom. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了二手书店老板理查德·布斯自封“海伊之王”以促进旅游业、拯救海伊镇经济，其举措使小镇成为“书城”并举办著名书展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Holding a scepter (权杖), Booth told confused locals and press that he made himself a ‘king’ to encourage tourism and reviving the town’s declining economy. Booth issued passports, stamps and currency for his new ‘nation’. He would also later made his horse Goldie ‘prime minister’ after a few too many drinks in the local pub. His fans and supporters would be awarded citizenship, and he would rule his self-declared kingdom until his death in 2019. (高举权杖，布斯告诉困惑的当地人和媒体，他自封“国王”是为了鼓励旅游业，振兴小镇衰败的经济。他为新“国家”发行了护照、邮票和货币。后来还在当地酒吧喝多后，将自己的马Goldie封为“首相”。他的粉丝和支持者将被授予公民身份，他将统治自己的王国，直到2019年去世)”和第三段中“Booth’s marketing strategy changed everything. With a population of just 1,500, the town remains home to some 20-plus bookshops and hosts the United Kingdom’s largest literary event, the annual Hay Festival.(布斯的营销策略改变了一切。该镇人口只有1500人，但仍有20多家书店，每年都会举办英国最大的文学活动——海伊文学节)”可知，布斯通过荒诞行为吸引关注，但核心目的是振兴经济，体现其敏锐的商业头脑与古怪行为并存。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Holding a scepter (权杖), Booth told confused locals and press that he made himself a ‘king’ to encourage tourism and reviving the town’s declining economy. (高举权杖，Booth告诉困惑的当地人和媒体，他自封“国王”是为了鼓励旅游业，振兴小镇衰败的经济)”可知，理查德·布斯自封国王是为了鼓励旅游业，决心让小镇摆脱经济衰退。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“With a population of just 1,500, the town remains home to some 20 plus bookshops and hosts the United Kingdom’s largest literary event, the annual Hay Festival. (这个只有1500人口的小镇仍然有20多家书店，并且举办英国最大的文学活动——一年一度的海伊文学节)”可知，海伊文学节是一个每年举办一次的受欢迎的书展。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“By 1976 Hay on Wye had become known as the world’s first ‘Town of Books’ as bookshops sprang up on every street comer. (到1976年，随着书店在每个街角如雨后春笋般涌现，海伊镇成为了世界上第一个‘书城’)”和“In 1988, Booth even picked a fight with the just founded Hay Festival (1988年，布斯甚至与刚成立海伊文学节发生了争执)”可知，海伊文学节创办于1988年，而这个小镇在此之前就已经出名了。故选B项。 D Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites. And yet they shared an intense respect for nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time. Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area. While Tao’s return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau’s was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.” Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives. Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. Tao’s nature is a place of fields and villages, in other words, rural, and his animals are domestic ones, such as chickens and dogs. The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to and critical of the depressive court life. Beyond the dark and distance lies a village, the smoke above reluctant to depart. A dog is barking somewhere down the lane. and chickens sit atop the mulberry tree. Thoreau’s descriptions of nature emphasized the beauty and purity of the wild areas around him. Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena, he recorded his detailed findings in his journals. Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts, as he describes in his journal: Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet, drink and botanical medicines. It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. 12. What does the underlined words “polar opposite” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Rather similar. B. Far away from the polar area. C. Reasonably familiar. D. Contrastingly different. 13. What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Tao’s decision of returning to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle to which he opposed, whereas Thoreau’s was not. B. Thoreau was unhappy with his life at court, but Tao was not. C. Tao sought for a harmonious relationship with nature, while Thoreau did not. D. Both Tao and Thoreau chose to live in a lakeside cottage in the forest, living in simplicity. 14. Why does the author quote Thoreau’s journal? A. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideal of people living in harmony with nature. B. To prove Thoreau’s love for nature and how he insisted on protecting it. C. To show Thoreau’s description of nature is beautiful and pure. D. To suggest that Thoreau’s understanding of nature was inspired by animals and plants. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards Tao and Thoreau’s lifestyle? A. Dismissive. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive D. Pessimistic. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国东晋诗人陶渊明和19世纪美国诗人亨利·戴维·梭罗虽生活时代和背景迥异，但都尊重自然，为亲近自然转变生活方式，作品展现自然之美。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites.(陶渊明和亨利·戴维·梭罗都是诗人，但一个生活在古代中国，另一个生活在19世纪的美国。从表面上看，这两个人的生活在时间上相隔近1500年，是……)”可知，陶渊明和亨利·戴维·梭罗两人生活时代和地域相差甚远，截然不同。所以划线短语“polar opposite”的意思是“截然不同；完全相反”，与“Contrastingly different”同义。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While Tao’s return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau’s was a personal decision to transform the way he lived.(虽然陶渊明回归自然是对他所反对的生活方式的一种反应，但梭罗的回归是他个人改变生活方式的决定)”可知，陶渊明回归自然是对一种他反对的生活方式的反应，而梭罗不是。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts, as he describes in his journal: (梭罗的写作旨在让人们相信，动植物和我们一样有生存和繁衍的权利。我们应该与它们和谐相处，享受大自然的恩赐，正如他在日记中所描述的：)”和第四段“ Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.(随四季流转而生活；呼吸空气，品尝美酒，享用水果，顺应每个季节的影响)”可知，作者引用梭罗的日记是为了阐述梭罗关于人与自然和谐相处的理想。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires.(像陶渊明和梭罗那样，拒绝安逸熟悉的生活，转而尝试更贴近自然地生活需要相当大的勇气。他们的选择让他们过上了宁静、善于思考且物欲较少的生活)”可知，作者认为他们的选择需要勇气，且肯定了这种生活方式，由此可推断作者对他们的生活方式持支持态度。故选C项。 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。 Living a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to make healthy choices each day.

When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class. An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the chores. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness. Paragraph 2: But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Kayla不喜欢做家务，但是劳动节的时候，父亲却说为了庆祝劳动节，要打扫屋子。Kayla一开始感到失望，但是在做家务的过程中逐渐获得了快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，Kayla对父母的假期计划感到失望”可知，第一段可描写Kayla内心对这个计划的看法，她虽然反对，但是也别无选择。 ②由第二段首句内容“但当她做家务时，情况开始发生变化”可知，第二段可描写Kayla在做家务过程中的感受，她发现了做家务的乐趣，觉得做家务有意义。 2.续写线索：感到失望——别无选择——开始做家务——发现乐趣——愉快完成——Kayla感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①反对：be against/be opposed to ②开始：begin/start ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①快乐：pleasure/joy ②困难：hard/tough 【点睛】[高分句型1] She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work.

But other images also came out of the storm: family photos. After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker found herself with about 200 family photos that didn’t belong to her. It started after the storm. Schenker’s house weathered Helene well, but she said her friend’s entire home was destroyed by flood. Schenker and her friend went for walk to check out the home, which was one of the many local homes that was destroyed. “We spent about four hours digging through the ruins, looking for my friend’s belongings,” Schenker told CBS News last month. “And during the search, I found five photographs. We laid out the photos along the river bank, hoping they would be reunited with their owners.” Schenker later uploaded the photos online. She said she found about 100 photos herself, but picked up about another 100 from others who found them, including search and rescue teams. To date, she has reunited around 15% of the photos with their owners. She still adds new photos to Instagram daily. Each reunion is a heartwarming reminder that what she’s doing is important. “I’m grateful for being able to do this. When you hand something so special to somebody and then give them a hug — it’s such a privilege,” she said. Schenker mails photos to people who are no longer in the area, but she also hand delivers the ones that belong to families who stayed close by. In one case, a college-aged son found his family’s photos on her Instagram, reached out to Schenker and connected her with his mom. “We have now found five photos of this one family, of these two sons, and when I met with the mom to reunite the photos, she shared that one of her sons had actually passed,” Schenker said. “And so, when they lost their home, they lost all memory of this child, which is absolutely devastating in addition to the disaster that has already happened.” She said she recently went for another so-called photo walk — where she dug through ruins to find images — and recognized the woman’s late son in yet another photo. 4 What do we know about Taylor Schenker? A. Her home was destroyed by hurricane Helene. B. She looked for missing photos for a living. C. She helped many hurricane survivors by collecting photos. D. She was known for reuniting people with their missing families. 5. What does the underlined word ones in paragraph 6 refer to? A. Families. B. Photos. C. Mails. D. Lives. 6.

What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Families reunited on social media B. Looking into the ruins for hope C. Hurricane torn down millions of homes D. A special reunion after the storm C On 1 April 1977, second-hand bookshop owner Richard Booth put on a homemade crown, marched through the streets of Hay-on-Wye and declared himself “King of Hay” outside the gates of the Welsh town’s castle. Holding a scepter (权杖), Booth told confused locals and press that he made himself a “king” to encourage tourism and reviving the town’s declining economy. Booth issued passports, stamps and currency for his new “nation”. He would also later made his horse Goldie “prime minister” after a few too many drinks in the local pub. His fans and supporters would be awarded citizenship, and he would rule his self-declared kingdom until his death in 2019. The bookseller’s bold move for independence saved the town. “A lot of small towns were in decline at the time,” explained Dr. Reg Clark, who worked for Booth in the 1970s. “People in rural areas would get an education, but then they would move out and get jobs elsewhere.” Booth’s marketing strategy changed everything. With a population of just 1,500, the town remains home to some 20-plus bookshops and hosts the United Kingdom’s largest literary event, the annual Hay Festival. In the middle of the Hay Festival, festival goers can taste local street food from pop-up food stands and market stalls in the surrounding street. However, it is the books that always keep visitors stand in line. The second-hand bookshops, antique stores and a fascinating map shop lining the main street are among the top choices for festivalgoers. However, before Booth opened Hay-on-Wye’s first bookstore in 1962, there was hardly any interest in books. By 1976 Hay-on-Wye had become known as the world’s first “Town of Books” as bookshops sprang up on every street comer. Despite the harsh economic reality, Booth never quit his chosen career path. By announcing himself a king, Booth attracted publicity as crowds gathered to visit the strange “Town of Books” ruled by a king. Interestingly, the Hay festival was not the creation of Booth. In 1988, Booth even picked a fight with the just-founded Hay Festival, blaming the festival for focusing only on newly published books, thus damaging the local second-hand bookshops. Booth passed away on 20 August 2019, but the “King of Hay” continues. Booth’s real legacy isn’t a flag or even a kingdom, but a lively, book-loving town. “As his friend, I knew that Richard loved Hay and he wanted the best for it. Not because it was his kingdom, but because he loved the community,” said Clark. 8. Which of the following best describes Richard Booth? A. Passionate and patient. B. Sharp-minded but eccentric. C. Kind-hearted but pessimistic. D. Easygoing and brave. 9. Why did Richard Booth declare himself a king? A. It was his desire to rule “Town of Books” as a king. B. He was desperate for attention and publicity to save his own bookstore. C. He was determined to bring the town out of an economic decline. D. He was trying to pick a fight with a new book festival to help secondhand bookshops. 10. What can we learn about the Hay Festival? A. It was founded by the “king” of Hay-on-Wye to attract tourists. B Books are the sole focus of the festival and visitors can experience nothing else. C. It is a popular book festival held on yearly basis. D. It was criticized by visitors for damaging the interest of second-hand bookshops. 11 What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Booth’s book business was smooth sailing ever since he started it. B. The town became famous before Hay festival was created. C. Booth’s book shop had no competition until it was threatened by the Hay festival. D. Booth was loved by his fans, who were awarded citizenship of his kingdom. D Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites. And yet they shared an intense respect for nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time. Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area. While Tao’s return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau’s was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.” Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives. Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. Tao’s nature is a place of fields and villages, in other words, rural, and his animals are domestic ones, such as chickens and dogs. The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to and critical of the depressive court life. Beyond the dark and distance lies a village, the smoke above reluctant to depart. A dog is barking somewhere down the lane. and chickens sit atop the mulberry tree. Thoreau’s descriptions of nature emphasized the beauty and purity of the wild areas around him. Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena, he recorded his detailed findings in his journals. Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts, as he describes in his journal: Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet, drink and botanical medicines. It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. 12. What does the underlined words “polar opposite” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Rather similar. B. Far away from the polar area. C. Reasonably familiar. D. Contrastingly different. 13. What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Tao’s decision of returning to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle to which he opposed, whereas Thoreau’s was not. B. Thoreau was unhappy with his life at court, but Tao was not. C. Tao sought for a harmonious relationship with nature, while Thoreau did not. D. Both Tao and Thoreau chose to live in a lakeside cottage in the forest, living in simplicity. 14. Why does the author quote Thoreau’s journal? A. To illustrate Thoreau’s ideal of people living in harmony with nature. B. To prove Thoreau’s love for nature and how he insisted on protecting it. C. To show Thoreau’s description of nature is beautiful and pure. D. To suggest that Thoreau’s understanding of nature was inspired by animals and plants. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards Tao and Thoreau’s lifestyle? A. Dismissive. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive D. Pessimistic. 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。 Living a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to make healthy choices each day.
