As we all know, diets which are high in pork, beef, chicken, fish, sugar, noodles and even white rice, are bad for one's health. This causes diseases in almost every organs, but especially it effects two of the most important ones, the heart and the brain. If people compare these problems with the good health condition, they may prefer good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day to buy great-tasting and fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes to keep their nutritional (营养) value, and afterwards serves them, in a most artistic and polite fashion. Please remember your traditional ways of eating, they are far better to those of the West. Certainly fast food makes lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food that is bad for the health of the Chinese people? Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated (装修). Moreover, these restaurants also have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere.” However, Chinese food restaurants could also do like this if they want to organize themselves as Western food restaurants do. These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones that are worth learning from the Western fast food. In other words, only learn the style of the restaurants, not the food or the menus in any way, shape or form. Never let the wish for money destroy the wonderful tradition that the Chinese has formed over the past thousands of years. 31. The Western fast food restaurants have the following advantages EXCEPT _________. A. inviting dining atmosphere B. healthy food C. good service D. tasteful decoration 32.

Weatern cooks buy vegetables every day B. people do not care about their health condition C. good Chinese cooks cook fresh vegetables for only a little time D.

B 32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过对比中西饮食文化，批判西式快餐对健康的危害，强调中式传统饮食的新鲜、营养和艺术性，同时建议中餐厅仅借鉴西式餐厅的管理和装饰风格，而非食物本身。最终呼吁保护中国传统饮食文化，抵制西式快餐的入侵。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, Chinese food restaurants could also do like this if they want to organize themselves as Western food restaurants do”和“only learn the style of the restaurants, not the food or the menus”可知，西式快餐的优势包括环境、服务、装修，但作者明确否定其食物健康性，故选B。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This causes diseases in almost every organs, but especially it effects two of the most important ones, the heart and the brain.”并结合后文“心脏和大脑”可知，“organs”指身体器官，故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“The cook goes out every day to buy great-tasting and fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes to keep their nutritional (营养) value”可推断，优秀的中餐厨师会短暂烹饪新鲜蔬菜以保留营养，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones that are worth learning”可知，西餐厅唯一值得学习的是管理和装饰风格，故选D。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。全文批判西式快餐对健康的危害，呼吁保留中式饮食传统，并仅学习西式餐厅的装饰风格，核心观点是反对西式快餐，故选D。 D Have you read The Grapes of Wrath? It is a book that was published in 1939 by American novelist John Steinbeck. The book was so wonderfully written that it won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction shortly after its publication. It is read in American high school and college literature classes. Later, it became an American classic. The book mainly describes American farmers of the Dust Bowl in the mid-thirties of the twentieth century. The novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their home because of drought, economic difficulties and agricultural industry changes. For their nearly hopeless situation and the terrible oppression, Stein-beck bravely reveals (揭露) the seriousness of the Great Depression (大萧条) and the challenges of migrant farmworkers (移民). We follow the Joad family as they move from city to city, facing all kinds of difficulties. Steinbeck describes man’s inhumanity to man in a masterful way. Migrant farmers are forced to fight against their countrymen just to survive. They are treated like animals by landowners, and there is a clear divide between the rich and the poor. The migrants and poor people are identified (识别的) as the source of evil and suffering. We witness the saving power of family and fellowship. When the Joads meet the Wilsons, they hold together. Through difficulties, they commit to one another. One loss becomes their loss. Their livelihood depends on their union (联盟). Steinbeck shows us the dignity of wrath at every tur. They refuse to be broken by the challenges they face, from some members leaving the family to others dying. The redoubled effects of selfishness (自私) are brought out clearly in this text. We see the greed (贪婪) of people who are only persuaded (说服) by self-interest. As a result of this, thousands of families sink into seriously poverty (贫乏). Steinbeck clearly tells his reason for writing the novel, was to praise union as saving power. However, being popular did not save the book from being banned (被取缔) for certain reasons. Landowners and local businessmen advocated for (提倡) the burning of this book because of the negative results it had on business. 36. Why does the author write this passage? A. To give a general introduction of The Grapes of Wrath. B. To reveal the influence the Great Depression had on people’s lives. C. To explain the writing style of John Steinbeck. D. To praise the book for its business value. 37. Why did landowners and businessmen hate The Grapes of Wrath? A. Because they were published for bringing about the Great Depression. B. Because the book disclosed (透露) their selfishness and greed. C. Because the book brought many families into poverty. D. Because the book had a negative result on their business. 38. The passage mainly tells us _________. A. selfishness and greed B. union of the saving power C. the seriousness of the Great Depression D. difficulties and poverty 39. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________. A. migrant farmers B. the Joads C. countrymen D. migrant farmers and their countrymen 40. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? A. The Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939. B. The novel is about the Joads saved a poor American family. C. The Grapes of Wrath was banned for certain reasons. D. Landowners and local businessmen thought the book had a bad influence on business. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. B 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国作家约翰·斯坦贝克的小说《愤怒的葡萄》的背景、内容、主题及其社会影响。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It is a book that was published in 1939 by American novelist John Steinbeck…The book mainly describes American farmers of the Dust Bowl in the mid-thirties of the twentieth century.”可知，这是一本由美国小说家约翰·斯坦贝克于1939年出版的书，该书主要描述了20世纪30年代中期美国“尘暴区”的农民生活。所以本文是对《愤怒的葡萄》的概括性介绍。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Landowners and local businessmen advocated for the burning of this book because of the negative results it had on business.”可知，地主和当地商人提倡焚烧这本书，因为它对商业产生了负面影响。所以地主和商人讨厌这本书是因为它对商业不利。故选D。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Steinbeck clearly tells his reason for writing the novel, was to praise union as saving power.”可知，斯坦贝克明确表示，他写这部小说的目的是赞美团结作为拯救的力量。所以文章主要强调了团结的力量。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Migrant farmers are forced to fight against their countrymen just to survive. They are treated like animals by landowners…”可知，移民农民为了生存被迫与同胞斗争，他们被地主像动物一样对待。所以“They”指代的是前文提到的“移民农民与同胞”。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their home…”可知，小说聚焦于乔德一家，一个因干旱和经济困难被迫离开家园的贫穷佃农家庭。所以小说讲述的是乔德一家的困境，而非他们拯救另一个家庭。故选B。 五、阅读填空 (15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There was ____41____ English speech contest in my school. I decided ____42____ (take) part in it, because I thought I was good at speaking English and I had some experience in giving speeches. I was sure I could win the contest easily, so I spent little time ____43____ (practice). As the day came, I ____44____ (stand) in front of hundreds of people with little confidence. Did I win? Of course not. The winner was Jim, one of my classmates, who had practiced after school every day. ____45____ there is another chance, I will take it seriously and do my best. It’s almost ____46____ (possible) to go through life without experiencing any ___47___ (fail). But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it’s completely up to us to decide how to look at it. We can choose to see failure as “the end of the world”. Or, we can ____48____ (brave) look at failure as the amazing learning experience, just as the saying “failure is the mother of success”. Failures can stop ____49____ (we) only if we let them. Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the lesson that we’re meant to learn. These lessons are very important; they’re how we grow, and how we keep from ____50____ (make) that same mistake again. 【答案】41. an 42. to take 43. practicing 44. stood 45. If 46. impossible 47. failure 48. bravely 49. us 50. making 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者参加学校英语演讲比赛因准备不足未获胜的经历，告诉我们：失败只有在我们听任它时才会阻碍我们，每次失败都应从中汲取教训，这些教训是成长以及避免重复犯错的关键。 【41题详解】 句意：我的学校有一场英语演讲比赛。“English speech contest”为可数名词单数形式，此处表示泛指“一场英语演讲比赛”，且“English”以元音音素开头，因此应用不定冠词an。故填an。 【42题详解】 句意：我决定参加，因为我认为自己擅长英语口语，且在演讲方面有一定经验。decide to do sth“决定做某事”，动词短语，因此此处应用take不定式形式。故填to take。 【43题详解】 句意：我确信自己能轻松赢得比赛，所以几乎没花时间练习。spend time (in) doing sth“花费时间做某事”，动词短语，因此此处应用practice的动名词形式practicing。故填practicing。 【44题详解】 句意：当比赛那天到来时，我缺乏自信地站在数百人面前。根据“As the day came”可知，时态为一般过去时，因此应用stand的过去式stood。故填stood。 【45题详解】 句意：如果还有机会，我会认真对待并全力以赴。根据“there is another chance, I will take it seriously and do my best.”可知，此处应用if引导条件状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写。故填If。 【46题详解】 句意：人生几乎不可能不经历任何失败。根据“go through life without experiencing any…”可知，此处表示不经历任何失败几乎不可能，因此应用possible的反义词impossible，在句中作表语。故填impossible。 【47题详解】 句意：人生几乎不可能不经历任何失败。根据“any”可知，此处应用fail的名词形式failure，不可数名词。故填failure。 【48题详解】 句意：或者，我们可以勇敢地将失败看作宝贵的学习经历，正如 “失败是成功之母” 这句谚语所说。此处修饰“look at”，应用brave的副词形式bravely。故填bravely。 【49题详解】 句意：只有我们听任失败，它才会阻止我们。根据“stop”可知，此处应用we的宾格形式us。故填us。 【50题详解】 句意：这些教训非常重要；它们是我们成长的方式，也是我们避免再次犯同样错误的途径。keep from doing sth“避免做某事”，动词短语，因此应用make的动名词形式making。故填making。 六、阅读理解七选五 (10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。 Every day we meet new people. Have you ever thought about how we can simply start a conversation with them? ____51____ Just say it.

They won’t talk with you? ____52____ So just start with a simple “Hey” or “Hello”. ____53____ Sometimes, you meet a new friend, try to find the things which both of you have in common, then you can go on the conversation from that point.

Communicate with heart. Imagine when you pour your words out to someone and he is just busy with other things, ____54____ So please remember that next time someone wants to talk with you, just be in that communication with your whole heart.

Names, places and things. ____55____ In this case, I think we should remember the little details (细节) of that people: Maybe one place where you have been together, one thing you both like.

Before they start a conversation they ask questions about the environment. B. Find things in common. C. Forget about the details (细节). D. We often forget other people’s name carelessly. E. and if you ask for their attention, you may get the words “I am listening”. F. Well, they are not talking with you now! G. There are some tips for you. 【答案】51. G 52. F 53. B 54. E 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文提供四个开启对话的实用技巧：直接开口、寻找共同话题、全心投入交流、记住对方细节（如名字、共同经历）。本文通过具体场景分析，鼓励读者克服社交恐惧，掌握自然对话的方法。 【51题详解】 根据“Have you ever thought about how we can simply start a conversation with them?”和下文给出多个具体建议可知，此处需总领全文的过渡句，引出后文的建议。选项G“这里有一些小贴士给你。”符合语境，故选G。 【52题详解】 根据“They won’t talk with you?...So just start with a simple ‘Hey’ or ‘Hello’”可知，前文提出“最坏的结果不过是对方不理你”，后文鼓励直接说“Hello”可知，此处需补充反驳性逻辑，选项F“他们现在也没在跟你交流！”符合语境，故选F。 【53题详解】 根据下文“Sometimes, you meet a new friend, try to find the things which both of you have in common, then you can go on the conversation from that point.”可知，后文讨论“寻找共同点”的方法。选项B“找一些共同点”符合语境，故选B。 【54题详解】 根据“Communicate with heart. Imagine when you pour your words out to someone and he is just busy with other things,”可知，前文描述“对方心不在焉”的场景，此处需补充典型敷衍回应，突出不专注交流的反例。选项E“如果你请求他们的注意，你可能会得到‘我在听’这句话。”符合语境，故选E。 【55题详解】 根据“Names, places and things...In this case, I think we should remember the little details (细节) of that people...”可知，后文讨论“记住细节（如地点、共同喜好）”的重要性，此处需先提出问题——人们常忽视细节（名字等）。选项D“我们经常不小心忘记别人的名字。”符合语境，故选D。 七、书面表达 (共两节，满分35分) 第一节 情境运用 (10分) 根据所提供的图片，用一个完整的句子提问或应答。 56.

He pulled Xiaoming off his bike and rode away. Xiaoming was scared (害怕), but he didn’t run after the robber. He found a telephone and called the police. “Safety is the priority (要务) in such a situation,” Xiaoming said, remembering what his teacher had told him in his first-aid class. “It is not safe to run after an adult who is much stronger than you. ” Xiaoming’s school is one of the first to have compulsory (必修的) first-aid education. Junior 1 students at the school take the class once a week. Students often learn by role-playing (角色扮演) in first-aid classes. Honghong, 12, remembered her favorite lesson. “We changed roles and did it again. We learned a lot while having fun at role-playing,” Honghong said. By that, they can learn to keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger. Teenage safety has become a serious issue recently. According to a survey, about 16, 000 teenagers die in accidents every year. An average of 40 students die every day from drowning (溺水) , food poisoning and traffic accidents. “The teacher told us that we should try not to go out alone, especially at night. If someone tries to do bad things to us, we may hit their eyes or noses or kick their private parts. Then we should quickly run into a crowded place,” said Lili, a 13-year-old girl who has leared a lot from first-aid classes. The topics of the class are regularly changed. The students have learned skills for lifesaving in earthquakes. They also deal with topics like sexual harassment (骚扰) . 21. How often do Junior 1 students take first-aid classes at this school? A.

As we all know, diets which are high in pork, beef, chicken, fish, sugar, noodles and even white rice, are bad for one's health. This causes diseases in almost every organs, but especially it effects two of the most important ones, the heart and the brain. If people compare these problems with the good health condition, they may prefer good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day to buy great-tasting and fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes to keep their nutritional (营养) value, and afterwards serves them, in a most artistic and polite fashion. Please remember your traditional ways of eating, they are far better to those of the West. Certainly fast food makes lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food that is bad for the health of the Chinese people? Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated (装修). Moreover, these restaurants also have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere.” However, Chinese food restaurants could also do like this if they want to organize themselves as Western food restaurants do. These lessons in management and decoration are the only ones that are worth learning from the Western fast food. In other words, only learn the style of the restaurants, not the food or the menus in any way, shape or form. Never let the wish for money destroy the wonderful tradition that the Chinese has formed over the past thousands of years. 31. The Western fast food restaurants have the following advantages EXCEPT _________. A. inviting dining atmosphere B. healthy food C. good service D. tasteful decoration 32. The underlined word “organs” in the passage probably means “_________” in Chinese. A. 快餐 B. 器官 C. 大脑 D. 健康 33. We can infer from the third paragraph that _________. A. Weatern cooks buy vegetables every day B. people do not care about their health condition C. good Chinese cooks cook fresh vegetables for only a little time D. Weatern fast food doesn't do harm to human beings 34. What may a Chinese restaurant learn from a Western restaurant? A. Cooking. B. Food. C. Menus. D. Style. 35. What is probably the best title for this passage? A. A cook who is good at Chinese food. B. The popularity of Western food. C. The importance of Western food. D. Say no to Western fast food. D Have you read The Grapes of Wrath? It is a book that was published in 1939 by American novelist John Steinbeck. The book was so wonderfully written that it won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction shortly after its publication. It is read in American high school and college literature classes. Later, it became an American classic. The book mainly describes American farmers of the Dust Bowl in the mid-thirties of the twentieth century. The novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their home because of drought, economic difficulties and agricultural industry changes. For their nearly hopeless situation and the terrible oppression, Stein-beck bravely reveals (揭露) the seriousness of the Great Depression (大萧条) and the challenges of migrant farmworkers (移民). We follow the Joad family as they move from city to city, facing all kinds of difficulties. Steinbeck describes man’s inhumanity to man in a masterful way.
