But once you take some time on them, you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day. Early Morning Usually boarders get up around 7: 00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast. Lessons Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, you’ll have a short break at 10: 40 am. The next period of classes will include two more lessons.

Activities All boarding schools in the UK provide many different kinds of activities for their boarders, such as football, swimming, golf or art. Prep An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as “prep”. Although prep might sound stressful, it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies. Free time Once you are done with your classes and activities, it’s time to relax. Bedtime In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10: 30 pm. Being nervous before you go to a boarding school is completely normal and understandable. Hopefully, being aware of the usual routine you’ll be following can help you. Once you are there, you will see how exciting life in a boarding school in England can be. 1. What do we know about boarding schools in England from the text? A.

B When I was a teenager, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored every time my family took a vacation. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album (专辑). It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day. “Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea?” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.” I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a pigeon (鸽子). I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns (封锁) limited our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. Then one day I opened my mailbox and saw three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them. I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred way of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. However, even as the lock-downs end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter. 4. Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards? A. To share her travel experiences. B. To show love and care. C. To keep in touch with people. D. To kill the time. 5. What did the author think of life without a phone? A. It was unbelievable. B. It was peaceful. C. It was just as usual. D. It was attractive. 6. How did the author feel when receiving her granddaughters’ letters? A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Regretful. D. Embarrassed. 7. Which one should be the title for the text? A. An Old Postcard Album B. New Ways of Communication C. Love during Lockdowns D. Attraction of Postcards C When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking? Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking? Does the look on their face and the way they behave indicate how they’re feeling — or are they feeling nothing at all? Humans have a range of emotions, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals, mainly because they can’t express their feelings. Perhaps it’s pets we think we understand most — as they are the animals we spend a lot of time with and therefore get to know best. Some of us own dogs because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us, although love could just be a human emotion. Professor Kim Bard, an expert from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond with concern when their owner — but not a stranger — pretends to cry.” Other wild animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience grief when someone in their group dies. Farm animals we often eat, such as cows and chickens, are also believed to experience pain, joy and other emotions. It’s believed even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us. If we understand the depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. 8. What’s the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To raise a question. B. To make a comparison. C. To bring in the topic. D. To present an argument. 9. Why does the author think the animals we understand most are our pets? A. Because they are the animals we love most. B. Because they are good companions and are loyal to us. C. Because they are the animals we usually stay with. D. Because they love us, although love could just be a human emotion. 10. What does the underlined word “grief” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Happiness. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Panic. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. D Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cuisine traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an personal level we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. On a larger scale, traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also serves as an expression of cultural identity (身份). Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places. In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor (味道) is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together. The cuisine of the United States also reflects its history. The European colonization (殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients (食材) and cooking styles to the U. S. As the world becomes more globalized it is easier to get cuisines from different cultures. We should keep our traditions through our culture’s food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods. 12. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1? A. Traditions on culture. B. Difficulties in cooking food. C. Concerns about food and culture. D. Connections between food and culture. 13 What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Memories. B. Traditional culture. C. Traditional cuisine. D. Generation. 14. How do people feel about Chinese food? A. It is rich in all kinds of vitamins. B. It balances the dishes of different countries. C. It is extremely significant to balance people’s daily life. D. It contains rich dishes with various flavors balanced. 15. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. What Food Tells Us About Culture. B. What Effect Food Causes on Culture. C. How Food Becomes More Globalized. D. How Traditional Cuisine is Passed Down. 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Staying Sharp It’s normal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you’re feeling a bit sluggish (迟钝的) when it comes to remembering things. ____16____, try out these five tips to stay sharp. ____17____.

Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, curt (简短失礼的，简略的) to my polite “Happy New Year.” He nodded and I sat in front of him. Minutes passed but nothing happened. Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register (登记簿). After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers. After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!” Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched.

Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”(“因为在我们有电话之前，这就是我们交流的方式，”她说。“我会在早上的邮件中寄出一张明信片，我的朋友会在当天下午收到。然后她会寄出一封回信，第二天早上就会到我的邮箱里。”) ”可知，作者的祖母写明信片是为了和人们保持联系。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world.(我很惊讶。没有电话的生活听起来就像来自另一个世界的事情)”可知，作者认为没有电话的生活是难以置信的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Then one day I opened my mailbox and saw three hand addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.(然后有一天，我打开邮箱，看到了三个手写地址的信封。它们来自我的孙女们，每封信都感谢我寄的明信片。信中表达了她们对疫情的失望，并描述了我的信息是如何安慰她们的)”和第六段中“Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred way of communication and texted my thanks for their letters.(像她一样，我接受了女孩们喜欢的交流方式，并发短信感谢她们的来信)”可知，疫情阻止了作者对孙女们的探望，所以收到她们的来信时是高兴的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第三段中““Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone(因为在我们有电话之前，这就是我们交流的方式)”可知祖母时代明信片用于交流；根据第五段“The notes expressed their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.(信中表达了她们对疫情的失望，并描述了我的信息是如何安慰她们的)”可知作者寄的明信片安慰了孙女们；根据最后一段“However, even as the lock downs end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter.(然而，即使封锁结束，我也会继续给她们寄明信片，因为每个人都喜欢收到真正的信件)”可知明信片受欢迎。这些都体现了明信片的魅力。故D项“Attraction of Postcards(明信片的魅力)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 C When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking? Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking? Does the look on their face and the way they behave indicate how they’re feeling — or are they feeling nothing at all? Humans have a range of emotions, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals, mainly because they can’t express their feelings. Perhaps it’s pets we think we understand most — as they are the animals we spend a lot of time with and therefore get to know best. Some of us own dogs because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us, although love could just be a human emotion. Professor Kim Bard, an expert from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond with concern when their owner — but not a stranger — pretends to cry.” Other wild animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience grief when someone in their group dies. Farm animals we often eat, such as cows and chickens, are also believed to experience pain, joy and other emotions. It’s believed even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us. If we understand the depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. 8. What’s the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To raise a question. B. To make a comparison. C. To bring in the topic. D. To present an argument. 9 Why does the author think the animals we understand most are our pets? A. Because they are the animals we love most. B. Because they are good companions and are loyal to us. C. Because they are the animals we usually stay with. D. Because they love us, although love could just be a human emotion. 10. What does the underlined word “grief” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Happiness. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Panic. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了动物是否有情感以及情感程度，指出宠物和野生动物可能都有情感，还引发了对动物园和屠宰场存在合理性的思考。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking? Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions in us, but what are they thinking? Does the look on their face and the way they behave indicate how they’re feeling — or are they feeling nothing at all?(当你遇到动物时，你是否想知道它们在想什么?看到一只新生的小羊或一只可爱的小狗可能会在我们心中激起快乐的情绪，但它们在想什么呢?它们脸上的表情和它们的行为方式是否表明了它们的感受——或者它们什么都没有感觉到？)”可推知，作者通过提出问题引发读者兴趣，从而引入动物是否有情感这一话题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps it’s pets we think we understand most — as they are the animals we spend a lot of time with and therefore get to know best.(也许我们认为最了解的是宠物——因为它们是我们花很多时间相处的动物，因此也最了解它们)”可知，作者认为我们最了解宠物是因为我们通常和它们待在一起。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Other wild animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience grief when someone in their group dies.(其他野生动物可能也有感情。例如，众所周知，当长颈鹿和鲸鱼群体中的某一个死亡时，它们会经历grief)”可知，划线词所在句用举例的方式来说明其他野生动物可能也有感情，结合常识，群体中有成员死亡时，动物感受到的情感应该是“悲伤”。由此可知，划线词grief意思是“悲伤”，与B项“Sadness”同义。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If we understand the depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems.(如果我们了解动物能感受到的情感深度，这应该会让我们质疑世界各地动物园和屠宰场的存在，并重新思考这些体系)”可推知，作者对动物园和屠宰场的存在表示怀疑。故选D项。 D Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cuisine traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an personal level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. On a larger scale, traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also serves as an expression of cultural identity (身份). Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places. In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor (味道) is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together. The cuisine of the United States also reflects its history. The European colonization (殖民) of the Americas brought European ingredients (食材) and cooking styles to the U. S. As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to get cuisines from different cultures. We should keep our traditions through our culture’s food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods. 12. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1? A. Traditions on culture. B. Difficulties in cooking food. C. Concerns about food and culture. D. Connections between food and culture. 13. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Memories. B. Traditional culture. C. Traditional cuisine. D. Generation. 14. How do people feel about Chinese food? A. It is rich in all kinds of vitamins. B. It balances the dishes of different countries. C. It is extremely significant to balance people’s daily life. D. It contains rich dishes with various flavors balanced. 15. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. What Food Tells Us About Culture. B. What Effect Food Causes on Culture. C. How Food Becomes More Globalized. D. How Traditional Cuisine is Passed Down. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食物与文化之间存在着比人们想象中更多的联系，阐述了食物在个人和文化层面的意义，并举例说明不同国家的食物反映其文化。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cuisine traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.(你有没有想过，你每天吃的食物能告诉你你来自哪里？你有没有想过为什么世界不同地区的人吃不同类型的食物？你有没有问过自己，为什么某些食物或烹饪传统对你的文化如此重要？食物和文化之间的联系比你想象的要多)”可知，作者通过提问引发思考，并在段尾表达食物和文化之间存在联系。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据指代关系和第三段中“On a larger scale, traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also serves as an expression of cultural identity (身份).(从更大的层面来看，传统美食一代一代传承下来。它也是文化身份的一种表达)”可知，指示代词“It”指代的是前面提到的“traditional cuisine(传统美食)”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor (味道) is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together.(在中国，和谐几乎是生活方方面面的重要特质。这在中国美食中得到了体现，几乎每一种味道都被平衡地运用，创造出各种味道相得益彰的美味菜肴)”可知，人们认为中国食物包含各种味道搭配平衡的丰富菜肴。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cuisine traditions are so important to your culture?

But if you decide to eat fruits, vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you’ll find that you’re full of energy.(你可能听过“人如其食”这句话。如果你决定吃高糖高脂的食物，那么你会感到懒惰且没有精力。但如果你决定吃水果、蔬菜并做出其他健康的饮食选择，你会发现自己充满活力)”强调了饮食对大脑和身体状态的影响。A选项“Feed your brain(滋养你的大脑)”符合语境，因为健康饮食就是在滋养大脑，为大脑提供能量。故选A项。 【18题详解】 下文“whether it is puzzles, reading, cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working(无论是拼图、阅读、烹饪还是其他能让你的大脑运转的任务)”说明要不断做一些能让大脑活动的事情。G选项“Challenge yourself constantly(不断挑战自己)”与之呼应，不断挑战自己去做各种能让大脑工作的任务，才能让大脑保持活跃。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks(你身体将无法为你提供记忆事情和完成任务所需的能量)”描述了一种不好的身体状态下的结果。C选项“If you choose to be lazy(如果你选择偷懒)”能引出这种结果，因为偷懒不保持健康，身体就无法提供足够能量。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis(一定要保证身体日常运转所需的必要睡眠时间)”强调了睡眠的重要性。F选项“According to studies, sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories(根据研究，睡眠有助于强化和恢复你的记忆)”进一步说明了睡眠对记忆的好处，与上文强调睡眠重要性相呼应。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分 55 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各选项所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was growing up I do not recall hearing the words “I love you” from my father.

I love you!’”中，作者主动对父亲表达了爱。“make the first move”表示“主动采取行动”，符合作者主动打破沉默表达爱的行为。故选D项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：犹豫了一会儿后，在我们下次的电话交谈中，我突然说：“爸爸……我爱你！”A. exploration探索；B. preparation准备；C. assumption假设；D. hesitation犹豫。根据前文“I decided to set my ego (自我) aside”可知，作者是在经过一番内心的纠结后才说出“我爱你”，这种纠结就是犹豫。故选D项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：电话那头一阵沉默，他局促地回答道：“嗯，我也爱你！”A. sound声音；B. silence沉默；C. voice嗓音；D. ring铃声。后文“he awkwardly (局促地) replied”说明父亲没有马上回应作者的“我爱你”，而是隔了一会儿才局促地回答，这表明电话那头在作者说完后有一阵沉默。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词和动词词义辨析。句意：我笑着说：“爸爸，我知道你爱我，当你准备好了，我知道你会说出你想说的话。”A. preparing准备；B. ready准备好的；C. waiting等待；D. pleased高兴的。根据前文可知，父亲不善于表达对作者的爱，结合“I know you love me”和“I know you will say what you want to say.”可推知，作者相信父亲准备好的时候会表达自己的爱。故选B项。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：十五分钟后，我妈妈打电话来，紧张地问：“保罗，一切都还好吗？你跟你爸爸说了什么？他看起来很奇怪！”A. confidently自信地；B. curiously好奇地；C. nervously紧张地；D. currently目前。后文妈妈问“Paul, is everything okay? What did you say to your dad?”，说明妈妈认为发生了什么事情，所以是紧张地询问情况。故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：十五分钟后，我妈妈打电话来，紧张地问：“保罗，一切都还好吗？你跟你爸爸说了什么？他看起来很奇怪！”A. familiar熟悉的；B. impressive印象深刻的；C. strange奇怪的；D. ashamed羞愧的。前文“at the other end and he awkwardly (局促地) replied”提到父亲听到作者说“我爱你”时感到局促，表现不自然，结合“What did you say to your dad?”可推知，妈妈觉得爸爸的表现和平时不一样，很奇怪。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们结束谈话时，爸爸用“保罗，我爱你”结束了我们的电话交谈。A. developed发展；B. opened打开；C. started开始；D. ended结束。前文“When we finished our talk”明确表示通话结束，那么爸爸是用“保罗，我爱你”来结束这次通话的。故选D项。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这次通话时我正在工作，当我终于“听到”那份爱时，泪水顺着我的脸颊滚落。A. rolling down滚落；B. going through经历；C. washing away冲走；D. falling off掉落。前文提到作者成长过程中没听过父亲说“我爱你”，这次父亲主动说出，作者内心感动。“tears rolling down one’s cheeks”形象地描绘了作者感动得泪水顺着脸颊滚落的情景。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们俩都坐在那里流泪时，我们意识到这个特殊的时刻将我们的父子关系提升到了一个新的高度。A. realized意识到；B. reminded提醒；C. sighed叹气；D. illustrated说明。前文描述了作者和父亲互相表达爱意以及两人都流泪的情景，后文“this special ____ had taken our father son ____ to a new level”说明他们在那一刻察觉到这次交流对父子关系有积极影响，即“意识到”了这一点。故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我们俩都坐在那里流泪时，我们意识到这个特殊的时刻将我们的父子关系提升到了一个新的高度。A. atmosphere氛围；B. event事件；C. performance表演；D. moment时刻。前文详细描述了作者和父亲互相表达爱意的过程，从作者主动说“我爱你”到父亲后来也回应，这一系列过程中的关键就是他们互相说出“我爱你”的这一特殊瞬间。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我们俩都坐在那里流泪时，我们意识到这个特殊的时刻将我们的父子关系提升到了一个新的高度。A. relationship关系；B. friendship友谊；C. gap差距；D. position位置。文章开头表明作者成长中与父亲不常表达爱，到后来互相说出“我爱你”，这一变化明显提升了他们之间的父子关系。故选A项。 第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 With a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper, Fu Zhao’e from the Ningxia Hui autonomous region can cut out an image of Argentina football star Lionel Messi within a couple of ____36____ (minute).

Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register (登记簿). After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers. After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!” Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项 polite sure angry hope go fall push think touch do patient shout On New Year’s Day, I went to get my bank work ________ and said “Happy New Year” to the bank person ________.

Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way.( 这是新年，一年的第一天。幸运的是，那天是休息日，所以我想把银行的工作做完。)”可知，当作者来到银行时，心情很好，对一切都充满希望。所以选择单词hope，再根据空前的felt可知，空处为形容词，担当表语。故填hopeful。 ④.考查谓语动词。根据第二段“Minutes passed but nothing happened.(几分钟过去了，但什么也没发生。)”可知，空处指的是“几分钟过去了”。分析句子成分可知，空处为短语“go by”，意为“时间的流逝”；根据上下文可知，空处为一般过去时。故填问题。 ⑤.考查形容词。根据第三段“Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him.(然后非常不确定和尴尬，我把我的表格和小册子放在他面前。)”可知，空处指的是“不确定”，所以选择单词“sure”，加否定前缀“un”，构成单词“unsure”，意为不确定。故填unsure。 ⑥.考查谓语动词。根据第四段“The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him.(我说出这句话的那一刻，我觉得好像一颗重磅炸弹落在了他身上。)”可知，空处指的是“炸弹落在了他身上”，故选择单词“fall”，用过去完成时。故填had fallen。 ⑦.考查形容词。根据第四段“After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done.(等了几分钟后，我表现出了各种不耐烦的迹象，我问他我的工作完成了没有。)”可知，作者此时已经有点不耐烦。所以选择单词patient，加否定前缀“im”，构成单词“impatient”，意为“不耐烦”。故填impatient。 ⑧.考查非谓语动词。根据第五段“Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched.(就在这时，我看见了他早上喝的那杯茶，它已经在那儿放了十分钟了，一动也没动。)”可知，空处为非谓语动词担当状语，表示“没有动”。所以选择单词“touch”，加否定前缀“un”，和“his morning cup of tea”之间存在被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填untouched。 ⑨.考查形容词。根据第五段“Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(突然间，我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人，面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知，作者突然就理解了这个工作人员，认为自己应该体贴他的心情。空处为形容词担当表语，选择单词think，用形容词形式。故填thoughtful。 ⑩.考查谓语动词。根据第五段“Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(突然间，我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人，面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知，作者理解了工作人员，所以认为自己不应该催促他。选择单词“push”，情态动词之后用动词原形。故填push。 47题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第四段“After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”(等了几分钟后，我表现出了各种不耐烦的迹象，我问他我的工作完成了没有。我说出这句话的那一刻，我觉得好像一颗重磅炸弹落在了他身上。他喊道：“什么也做不了，这需要时间！” )”可知，当遇到作者这样的人来办理业务的时候，他一定觉得很焦虑或者紧张，又来了一个人，没有耐心，只会督促他先办理他的业务。故答案为He must be feeling so worried/upset/anxious/nervous that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.” 【48题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(就在这时，我看见了他早上喝的那杯茶，它已经在那儿放了十分钟了，一动也没动。他干活的时候，茶几乎都凉了。突然间，我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人，面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知，当作者看到桌子上工作人员的茶都冷了的时候，作者突然就理解了工作人员的心情。作者有可能会让工作人员先喝茶。而工作人员也会解释自己为什么会先处理自己手头的事。故答案为I might say to him, “Sir, you please have your tea; I am not in a hurry.” He might look up at me for the first time, give me a rare smile and say, “Thanks, but it is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but somebody else will come who will be in a hurry.” and then continue his work at hand. 【49题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章内容可知，作者本来看到工作人员只忙着手头的工作，却不帮自己处理业务，就开始急躁。但是，当作者看到工作人员的茶都冷了没空喝的时候，作者又理解了工作人员。所以，从这件事，我们可以知道，当事情发生时，我们应该多沟通，以了解对方，不要不问青红皂白就指责对方。故答案为I would learn to be more communicative, understanding / thoughtful / empathetic and friendly with people who help me with my work, putting myself in others’ shoes and be thankful that they are there for me, not taking their work for my convenience for granted. 第四部分 书面表达（满分 20 分） 50. 假如你是李华。你生活的城市即将举行一场以“建设与自然共生的理想家园”为主题的英语演讲比赛。请写一篇演讲稿，要点如下： 1.对该主题的理解； 2.本市的有效做法； 3.你的倡议。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.短文的题目已为你写好。 A Dream City at One with Nature ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A Dream City at One with Nature Hello, everyone! I'm Li Hua. Today I'd like to share my opinions on “Build A Dream City at One with Nature”.As middle school students, it's our duty to help build an ideal home that coexists with nature. We often say that the earth is our homeland and human society comes from nature. People should live harmoniously with nature. All the materials we need to live with come from nature. But we should also repay the nature, rather than blindly solicit. Planting more trees is important to the environment. What’s more, choosing green transportation to reduce pollution is friendly to nature. The more people choose the public transportation, the less traffic jam there will be and the cleaner the air will be. I believe in that way, man and nature will become more harmonious to get along. The dream city at one with nature will last forever. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇演讲稿，主题是“建设与自然共生的理想家园”。 【详解】1.词汇积累 责任：duty →responsibility 来自：come from →originate from 索求：solicit→extort 减少：reduce →cut down 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Planting more trees is important to the environment. 拓展句：It is important to the environment that we should plant more trees. 【点睛】【高分句型1】What’s more, choosing green transportation to reduce pollution is friendly to nature.
