A.Recalling the wonderful childhood days. B.Developing kids’ ability to listen to stories. C.Forming a habit of telling kids bedtime stories. D.Making kids learn to tell bedtime stories themselves. 答案：C　 21 22 23 细节理解题。根据BEDTIME STORY COMPETITION中的“Story Mirror presents an opportunity to share bedtime stories，aiming to bring back the culture of telling wonderful stories to children.”可知，Story Mirror通过举办竞赛的方式给孩子们提供一个分享睡前故事的机会。该竞赛的目的是把讲精彩故事的文化带回给孩子们，即形成一个给孩子讲睡前故事的习惯。 21 22 23 22.What competition will one probably take part in if he/she is in Africa? A.ONLINE ART COMPETITION. B.BEDTIME STORY COMPETITION. C.SCIENCE STUDENT COMPETITION. D.EUROPEAN FASHION AWARD. 答案：A 21 22 23 细节理解题。根据ONLINE ART COMPETITION中的“Region：Global”可知，线上艺术竞赛是在全球范围内举行，来自任何一个地方的参赛者都可以报名参加，而其他三项都有地区限制。 21 22 23 23.Who will probably win 5，000 pounds in the Science Student Competition? A.A middle school laboratory. B.A middle school student team. C.Some talented college students. D.A talented 17-year-old student. 答案：B　 21 22 23 推理判断题。根据SCIENCE STUDENT COMPETITION中的“The winning team will receive 5，000 pounds towards their school science lab.”可知，获胜的队伍可赢得5 000英镑，而奖金会给该校的科学实验室。由此推测，参加者不是个人，而是以小组为单位。 21 22 23 B 　　 By day，Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I’m not a trained musician，but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr.Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot，” Mr.Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns，including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances，there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page，but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand，” Mr.Titterton said.“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists，although Ms.Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner，” she laughed.“He’s interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn!’”“Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。白天，Robert Titterton是一位律师。但在空闲时间，他在舞台上与钢琴家并肩演出，不是作为音乐家，而是作为乐谱翻页者。 24.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A.Read music.　　 B.Play the piano. C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments. 答案：A　 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，Titterton是钢琴家Maria的乐谱翻页者，他学会识谱是为了可以在Maria的表演中帮助她。故选A。 24 25 26 27 25.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous. 答案：C　 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of skills are needed for the job.”和第四段中的“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.”可知，乐谱翻页这份工作需要很多技能，也需要大量的练习。由此可判断出，Titterton作为乐谱翻页者，这项工作是“难度大的，要求高的”。故选C。 24 25 26 27 26.What does Titterton need to practise? A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the “nodding”. C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style. 答案：B　 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...each pianist has their own style of ‘nodding’ to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.”可知，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示需要翻页。这需要大量的练习。故选B。 24 25 26 27 27.Why is Ms.Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A.Because he has very poor eyesight. B.Because he ignores the audience. C.Because he has no interest in music. D.Because he forgets to do his job. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He’s interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn!’”可判断出，她的丈夫经常沉浸于音乐中而忘记翻页，需要她提醒。故选D。 24 25 26 27 C We’re often told “laughter is the best medicine”.Laughter is ancient and instinctual，and a fundamental part of everyday life—something most of us enjoy naturally.There are comedy channels on TV，comedy festivals and our favorite funny friend who’s sure to get our giggle on. So why do we need laughter experts? Surely they’re for people who can’t laugh for whatever reason.However，while the ability to laugh is innate，the decision to activate and use it to its full ability is a choice. When life gets stressful；illness creeps in； relationships are put to the test or we’re struggling financially，there’s rarely much to laugh about.So，we don’t.Yet turning into the lighter，more humorous side of life，and activating one’s “laughter self” is critical to mental health. Rather than waiting for something funny to happen or for life to be a bed of roses，we can transform our emotional state by tapping into our laughter and humor resources.This helps create distance between us and our pain and improve our moods and resilience (恢复力) to stress.It provides relief and release from some of the stress that has embedded in our bodies and minds，freeing ourselves to power forward，even a little. Ironically，because laughter is an innate and largely unconscious behavior，it’s rarely given much thought.As it’s seldom thought about，it can’t be that important. Wrong.If laughing was a more complex behavior，my belief is that people would pay greater honor to it，rather than something to laugh off.It’s actually one of the most complicated things our bodies process.It is a vocal means of communication before language forms and the brain has fully developed.The vast majority of us maintain the ability to laugh until our final curtain call，even amid declining cognitive (认知) function. Turning toward the healing power of humor and laughter assists with personal and professional resilience，performance and overall well-being.No joke. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了笑是最好的解药，以及笑对人生的意义和积极作用。 28.What does the underlined word “innate” in the second paragraph mean? A.From birth. B.From learning. C.From daily life. D.From achievements. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Laughter is ancient and instinctual，and a fundamental part of everyday life—something most of us enjoy naturally.”可知，笑是天生的。innate与from birth同义，故选A。 28 29 30 31 29.According to the author，what should we do when there is little to laugh about? A.Wait for something funny to happen. B.Accept what life has presented to us. C.Exercise to get rid of the stress. D.Make the most of our own sense of humor. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 细节理解题。根据第三段前四句可知，当生活中没什么可笑的事时，我们可以充分利用自己的幽默感来改变我们的情绪状态，故选D。 28 29 30 31 30.What does the author argue in paragraph 5? A.Laughing could improve our cognitive abilities. B.Laughing deserves our more attention. C.The ability to laugh forms after the brain is fully developed. D.Laughing is a complicated means of communication. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 段落大意题。根据第五段可知，笑实际上是我们身体运转过程中最复杂的事情之一，是一种在语言形成和大脑完全发育之前的口头交流方式。我们绝大多数人在谢幕前都保持着笑的能力，即使在认知功能下降的情况下。故本段论述了笑值得我们更多的关注，故选B。 28 29 30 31 31.What could be the best title for the text? A.How Laughter Works B.How Laughter Brings Us Together C.The Health Benefits of Laughter Are No Joke D.Laughter Experts Are in Great Demand 答案：C 28 29 30 31 标题归纳题。根据最后一段的内容并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了笑对健康的益处不是玩笑。故选C。 28 29 30 31 D 　　Australians are pretty bold (大胆的) when it comes to humour.Not afraid of saying something insulting (冒犯的) in the name of a good laugh，they generally don’t hold back.This is always done in fun，however. You get yourself a haircut before going to meet your new Aussie friend.You’re expecting to be praised，but what you hear is，“Did you have a fight with a lawnmower?” You might take this as an insult，but it’s just your friend’s way of saying that you’ve had a haircut. Your friend comes knocking at your bedroom door one morning to tell you’re late for class.You were up studying late the night before and you look a mess.Your friend thinks you need to put a brush through your hair before leaving，but instead of just saying so he says，“Wow.Your hair looks like a bush pig’s arse.” He’s trying to be nice. Australia is one of the cultures on this planet where making fun of someone is a sign of friendship.If you find yourself being made fun of lots，it could be that you’ve scored yourself a whole lot of new friends.Consider yourself lucky—these insults are all part of building a relationship. Australians also use a lot of sarcasm (讽刺).You foolishly say something that’s obvious.For example，“A six pack of beer is named after the number of beers you get in the pack，the number being six.” A normal answer would be，“That is the most obvious statement I’ve ever heard”，but an Australian would say，“Really? You’re so clever.” Now let’s say your teacher tells you that there will be a test the following day.Australians might say，“Great.I can’t wait to add preparing for a test to my already long to-do list.Thank you for this gift.”  [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚人表达幽默和讽刺的语言方式。 32.According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3，Australians try to be humorous ________.  A.by telling funny jokes B.by making fun of friends C.by laughing at themselves D.by showing unfriendliness 答案：B　 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第二段及第三段中的例子可知，澳大利亚人会通过取笑朋友来表现幽默。 32 33 34 35 33.What does the author advise you do when you are laughed at by an Australian? A.Accept it readily. B.Fight back bravely. C.Mind your behaviour. D.End the relationship. 答案：A　 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Consider yourself lucky—these insults are all part of building a relationship.”可知，作者建议当你被澳大利亚人嘲笑的时候，应该欣然接受。 32 33 34 35 34.What do Australians want to express by saying “Thank you for this gift.” in the last paragraph? A.Dislike. B.Worry. C.Gladness. D.Thankfulness. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 句意理解题。根据第五段中的“Australians also use a lot of sarcasm.”和最后一段中的“Now let’s say your teacher tells you that there will be a test the following day.”可知，“Thank you for this gift.”是在用讽刺表达相反的情绪，因此可推测出其表达的意思是不喜欢。 32 33 34 35 35.How is the text mainly developed? A.By telling stories. B.By making comparisons. C.By providing examples. D.By examining differences. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。本文使用了大量的例子来说明澳大利亚人如何表达幽默和讽刺，由此可知，本文主要是通过举例来展开的。 32 33 34 35 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。 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可以提高幽默感的小技巧。 Learning how to be funny can make your entire life much more enjoyable.While some people are naturally funny，others have to work at it. 　36　.

listed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境和时间状语in the late 1970s可知，句子描述过去的情况，应用一般过去时，list与主语He之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是He，be动词应用was。故填was listed。 57.答案：performance 考查词性转换。空处应用名词作句子的主语，结合语意，空处应用名词performance，表示“表演”，用作单数。故填performance。 58.______________ (bear) in the north of England in 1955，he went to very good schools and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in

with为固定短语，表示“爱上……”，所以空处应用介词with。故填with。 61.答案：to appear 考查非谓语动词。set out to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“开始去做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to appear。 62.答案：comedians 考查名词的单复数。结合语意，此处表示“他成为英国有史以来最受欢迎的喜剧演员之一”，固定结构“one of the＋形容词最高级＋名词复数”意为“最……之一”。故填comedians。 63.答案：which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Black Adder series，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用which引导。故填which。 Mr.Bean performed on New Year’s Day，1990.It was 64._______

On his first day of transferring to a new school，he felt nervous and didn’t talk to anyone. However， when he was eating his lunch alone in the cafeteria， a boy named Joel approached him and talked to him. And coincidentally， they became deskmates. As days passed， Liam and Joel became friends. After school， they often played catch together. It was a game they both loved playing. One day， Joel skipped school， and Liam had to sit alone in class. At noon， his class teacher Mary said that Joel got into an accident and he lost his parents in the car crash. Joel was severely injured and was in the hospital. After returning home that day， Liam cried while telling his mother what had happened to Joel. He asked his mother if he could see Joel at the hospital， but she told him the doctors weren’t allowing any visitors at that time. “Don’t worry， Liam. Joel’s grandmother is looking after him at the hospital. He will be fine，” his mother assured him. Meanwhile， Liam missed his best friend at school and wished he would join him at school soon. Since Joel was his only friend and other students didn’t like talking to him， he spent most of the time in school alone. Two months later， Joel returned home and Liam couldn’t wait to see his friend. Liam rushed to Joel’s house with a candy bar and the ball they used to play catch with. However，his friend was now confined to a wheelchair and depended on his grandmother to move around.Liam felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. Moreover， seeing his elderly grandma struggle to push the wheelchair made Liam feel even worse. Later that night， Liam kept thinking of all the ways he could help Joel and then realized buying an electric wheelchair would be the best option. Since an electric wheelchair would be expensive， he decided to set up a charity contest at school. But he needed to ask his teacher first. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 The next day， Liam approached his teacher Mary and shared his idea.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　After the event， Liam counted the money people had left in the donation box._______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] The next day， Liam approached his teacher Mary and shared his idea.

Mary was moved by Liam’s kindness and agreed to let him organize the charity contest. Liam worked tirelessly on the charity event.  After the event， Liam counted the money people had left in the donation box. To his surprise， he had raised enough to buy Joel not only an electric wheelchair but also a computer that he could use while recovering. When he presented the gifts to Joel and his grandmother， the joy and gratitude in their eyes were priceless. Joel’s grandmother hugged Liam tightly and thanked him for being such a good friend to her grandson. Liam finally understood that true friendship means being there for each other in times of need， and he felt grateful for his own personal growth through the experience.  $$
