Festivals Around the World
Festivals, vibrant threads in humanity’s cultural tapestry, serve as timeless bridges connecting generations and communities. Across continents and eras, these celebrations all share a fundamental purpose: to preserve heritage while nurturing human connections. At their heart, festivals fulfill profound human needs — strengthening community bonds through shared experiences, offering respite from daily routines, and providing opportunities for both joyous celebration and contemplative renewal. Here are four distinctive festivals across continents.
La Tomatina (Spain)
Held on the last Wednesday of August in Buñol, this festival features a massive tomato fight. Thousands gather to throw tomatoes, symbolizing fun and community bonding. It began in 1945 and has grown into a global attraction.
Diwali (India)
Known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is celebrated in October or November. Families light oil lamps, set off fireworks, and share sweets to honor the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Sapporo Snow Festival (Japan)
This February event in Hokkaido displays giant ice sculptures and snow statues. Started in 1950, it attracts artists worldwide and includes ice slides and nighttime illuminations.
Día de los Muertos (Mexico)
On November 1-2, Mexicans honor deceased loved ones with altars, marigold flowers, and sugar skulls. It’s a vibrant mix of indigenous traditions and Catholic influences, celebrating life and death joyfully.
21. Where can people join in the tomato fight?
A. Mexico. B. India. C. Spain. D. Japan.
22. What do people do during Diwali?
A. Host ice sculpture exhibition. B. Light oil lamps and set off fireworks.
C. Make sugar skulls. D. Have a tomato fight.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham was wandering around outside his home in Noring California. His 90-pound pit bull (斗牛犬), Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble. And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham’s attention. It was the deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast, which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy’s head and started dragging him away.
Benham, a thin, fit, 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS13, “the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’.” He lowered his shoulder and ran quickly towards the bear. But it only seized Buddy tightly. Benham grabbed the bear by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open but the jaw was locked tight. Benham resorted to street fighting — punching the bear over and over around its mouth and nose. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape His face was bloodied. He had a bite mark clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.
“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He picked up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy’s surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the procedure through a window, waiting for a miracle.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.”
24. Why did the author mention the weight of the bear in paragraph 2?
A. To prove the excitement of Benham.
B. To describe the fear in Buddy’s heart.
C To indicate the difficulty of the rescue.
D. To show the bear’s starvation and fierceness.
25. How was the dog finally saved from the bear?
A. Benham defeated the beast by grabbing its throat.
B. Benham ran towards the beast with dropped shoulder.
C. Benham punched the beast’s mouth and nose repeatedly.
D. Benham forced open the beast’s mouth by unlocking its jaw.
26. What can we infer about Benham and Buddy?
A. Buddy once saved Benham. B. They used to share a shelter.
C Benham had no kid but Buddy. D. They had very close relationship.
27. Which words can best describe Benham?
A. Smart and hard-working. B. Calm and physically strong.
C. Brave and kind-hearted. D. Knowledgeable and reliable.
C
Tailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes. Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design. Car seat belts, for example, which date back to the 1880s, are often still more suitable for men, who tend to sit farther back than women when driving. And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-school bias (偏见) into new products. Consider smart phones. Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman’s hand, as are many video-game controllers.
An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies who may be unaware of the problems women face. And once an idea gets the preen light, it will then be handled by product-design and, engineering teams, three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions, but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences. Next comes testing. Naturally, designers test original models on their intended customers, but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people because of gender (性别) bias.
Tech’s design bias needs fixing for moral, safety and business reasons. The ethical importance is obvious: it is wrong that women have to make do with a “one-size-fits-men” world, as Caroline Criado Perez, a writer, puts it. As for safety, regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women — including seat belts — because they are not designed properly.
But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias, because huge opportunities are being missed. Women are 50% of the population, and make 70-80% of the world’s consumer-spending decisions.
Change is coming. The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices, but most now manage just fine. “Femtech” start-up companies, which focus on women’s health and well-being, may raise MYM 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women. Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers. For the companies that get it right, that means higher profits. What is holding them back?
28. Why are car seat belts often designed with a bias towards men?
A. Because men tend to sit farther back in cars compared to women.
B. Because car seat belts have not changed significantly since their invention.
C. Because tech companies are putting biases into their new car seat belt designs.
D. Because tailors have a deeper understanding of body shapes than car seat belt designers.
29. What is discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. Why tech’s design bias needs to be fixed.
B. What can be done to fix tech design’s bias.
C. Where gender bias in product design is rooted.
D. Who is responsible for gender bias in tech companies.
30. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Tech companies are unwilling to change.
B. Design bias may result in missed opportunities.
C. Male workers benefit more in engineering teams.
D. Tech companies are poor at making user-friendly products.
31. How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design?
A. Uncertain. B. Sceptical. C. Negative. D. Positive.
D
Glass might soon meet a surprising competitor: bamboo. Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that repels fire and water, and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo.
Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts. To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4 — 7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees.
The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing lignin which makes plants look solid and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics.
Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn’t catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals.
32. What does the underlined word “repels” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Resists. B. Conducts. C. Absorbs. D. Attracts.
33. How did the researchers make bamboo see-through?
A. By adding plastic-like materials and water.
B. By removing sodium silicate and adding lignin.
C. By adding lignin and filling it with sodium silicate.
D. By removing lignin and filling it with sodium silicate.
34. What can be learned about clear bamboo from the text?
A. It is not as strong as common plastics.
B. It can only be used for building windows.
C. It offers potential for both building and energy fields.
D. It is less environmentally friendly than traditional glass.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of making clear wood. B. The disadvantages of traditional glass.
C. A new environmentally friendly material. D. The application of clear bamboo in solar cells.

77. 阅读下面材料,根据其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。
The class came to an end. John was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! John picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in John’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! John looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Smith was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning.
John decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would be most likely to be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?”, he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John stared at the blank name line for a moment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“John, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Smith said.

She works in the tourist industry. She discovered this canteen, which is near her home and offers fair prices, through a restaurant review app. “I’ve ordered several takeaway meals in the past, but today, I want some freshly cooked dishes,” Fang said. Hu Yifan, manager of the canteen, said chefs at the canteen cook special meals for elderly residents before making dishes for other customers. “Food for the elderly should be soft and the flavors should be mild,” Hu said. The canteen also offers special discounts to the elderly. Those aged from 60 to 79 benefit from a 20 percent discount, diners aged from 80 to 89 receive a 30 percent reduction, and those older than 90 get a 50 percent discount. “The canteen has more business on working days, and we only provide lunch on weekends, as we think that weekends are a time for people to dine together with friends and family,” Hu said. The popularity of community canteens has increased quickly recently, especially among the younger generation. While these canteens continue to provide convenience for the elderly, they also make some changes to satisfy the dining preferences of the younger generation, with longer opening hours and more attractive decorations.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham was wandering around outside his home in Noring California. His 90-pound pit bull (斗牛犬), Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble. And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham’s attention. It was the deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast, which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy’s head and started dragging him away.
Benham, a thin, fit, 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS13, “the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’.” He lowered his shoulder and ran quickly towards the bear. But it only seized Buddy tightly. Benham grabbed the bear by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open but the jaw was locked tight. Benham resorted to street fighting — punching the bear over and over around its mouth and nose. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape. His face was bloodied. He had a bite mark clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.
“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He picked up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy’s surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the procedure through a window, waiting for a miracle.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.”
24. Why did the author mention the weight of the bear in paragraph 2?
A. To prove the excitement of Benham.
B. To describe the fear in Buddy’s heart.
C. To indicate the difficulty of the rescue.
D. To show the bear’s starvation and fierceness.
25. How was the dog finally saved from the bear?
A. Benham defeated the beast by grabbing its throat.
B. Benham ran towards the beast with dropped shoulder.
C. Benham punched the beast’s mouth and nose repeatedly.
D. Benham forced open the beast’s mouth by unlocking its jaw.
26. What can we infer about Benham and Buddy?

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Kaleb Benham勇敢地从黑熊口中救出自己的斗牛犬Buddy的故事,展现了他对狗深深的关爱以及勇敢善良的品质。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段后两句“Benham wheeled around to see the beast, which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy’s head and started dragging him away. (贝纳姆急忙转身去看那头野兽,他估计这头野兽重约350磅,在大约100英尺开外。刹那间,那头熊咬住了巴迪的脑袋,开始把它拖走)”以及第三段第一句“Benham, a thin, fit, 24-year-old, took off after them. (贝纳姆,一位身材瘦削、体格健壮的24岁男子,跟在它们后面出发了)”可知,熊重约350磅,而Benham很瘦,他要从这么重的熊口中救Buddy,难度很大。所以提到熊的重量是为了表明救援的困难程度。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段后两句“Benham resorted to street fighting — punching the bear over and over around its mouth and nose. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods. (本哈姆采取了近身搏斗的方式 —— 一遍又一遍地击打熊的嘴巴和鼻子。这起作用了。熊放下了狗,然后跑进了树林里)”可知,Benham通过反复击打熊的嘴和鼻子,使熊放开了狗。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.” (据CBS13报道,这是贝纳姆第二次救下巴迪。第一次是几年前从一家动物收容所救出它。“如果这是你的孩子,你会怎么做?”他问道。他朝巴迪点了点头,补充道:“那就是我的孩子。”)”可知,Benham两次救了Buddy,并且把Buddy当作自己的孩子。由此可推断出他们之间有着非常亲密的关系。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Benham, a thin, fit, 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS13, “the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’.” (24岁的贝纳姆身材瘦削、体格健壮,他拔腿追了上去。“说实话,”他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司13频道,“我唯一能想到的就是‘救我的孩子’。”)”以及他救Buddy的行为可知,面对350磅的熊,他毫不畏惧地去救Buddy,体现了他的勇敢;再根据最后一段后两句““If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.” (“如果这是你的孩子,你会怎么做?”他问道。他朝巴迪点了点头,补充道:“那是我的孩子。”)”可知,他从收容所救Buddy以及努力救Buddy,说明他心地善良。故选C项。

Tailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes. Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design. Car seat belts, for example, which date back to the 1880s, are often still more suitable for men, who tend to sit farther back than women when driving. And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-school bias (偏见) into new products. Consider smart phones. Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman’s hand, as are many video-game controllers.
An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies who may be unaware of the problems women face. And once an idea gets the preen light, it will then be handled by product-design and, engineering teams, three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions, but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences. Next comes testing. Naturally, designers test original models on their intended customers, but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people because of gender (性别) bias.
Tech’s design bias needs fixing for moral, safety and business reasons. The ethical importance is obvious: it is wrong that women have to make do with a “one-size-fits-men” world, as Caroline Criado Perez, a writer, puts it. As for safety, regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women — including seat belts — because they are not designed properly.
But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias, because huge opportunities are being missed. Women are 50% of the population, and make 70-80% of the world’s consumer-spending decisions.
Change is coming. The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices, but most now manage just fine. “Femtech” start-up companies, which focus on women’s health and well-being, may raise MYM 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women. Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers. For the companies that get it right, that means higher profits. What is holding them back?
28. Why are car seat belts often designed with a bias towards men?
A. Because men tend to sit farther back in cars compared to women.
B. Because car seat belts have not changed significantly since their invention.
C. Because tech companies are putting biases into their new car seat belt designs.
D. Because tailors have a deeper understanding of body shapes than car seat belt designers.
29. What is discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. Why tech’s design bias needs to be fixed.
B. What can be done to fix tech design’s bias.
C. Where gender bias in product design is rooted.
D. Who is responsible for gender bias in tech companies.
30. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Tech companies are unwilling to change.
B. Design bias may result in missed opportunities.
C. Male workers benefit more in engineering teams.
D. Tech companies are poor at making user-friendly products.
31. How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design?
A. Uncertain. B. Sceptical. C. Negative. D. Positive.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了许多产品设计存在性别偏见,如汽车安全带、智能手机等。其根源在于男性主导公司、设计团队的性别偏见以及测试反馈不足。设计偏见需修正,因关乎道德、安全且会错失商机。如今已有改变,如语音识别系统改善,未来无偏见设计前景积极,能带来高利润。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Car seat belts, for example, which date back to the 1880s, are often still more suitable for men, who tend to sit farther back than women when driving.(例如,汽车安全带可以追溯到19世纪80年代,通常仍然更适合男性,因为男性在开车时往往比女性坐得更远)”可知,汽车安全带的设计总是偏向男性是因为男性在车里往往比女性坐得靠后一些。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies who may be unaware of the problems women face. And once an idea gets the preen light, it will then be handled by product-design and, engineering teams, three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions, but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences. Next comes testing. Naturally, designers test original models on their intended customers, but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people because of gender (性别) bias.(对其设计问题的一个明显解释是,男性控制着大多数公司,他们可能没有意识到女性面临的问题。一旦一个想法得到认可,它就会被产品设计和工程团队处理,其中四分之三的成员是男性。这些团队经常使用数据来做决定,但将所有用户混合在一起意味着他们可能无法发现基于性别差异的趋势。接下来是测试。当然,设计师会在他们的目标客户身上测试原始模型,但由于性别偏见,他们可能无法从足够广泛的人群中获得反馈)”可知,第2段讨论了产品设计中性别偏见的根源。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias, because huge opportunities are being missed.(但是,避免设计偏差也有一个强有力的商业理由,因为这样会错失巨大的机会)”可知,设计偏差可能导致错失巨大的机会。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Change is coming. The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices, but most now manage just fine. “Femtech” start-up companies, which focus on women’s health and well-being, may raise MYM 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women. Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers. For the companies that get it right, that means higher profits.(变化即将到来。最初的语音识别系统很难理解女性的声音,但现在大多数系统都做得很好。专注于女性健康和福祉的“Femtech”初创公司可能在今年年底前筹集到10亿马币。风险投资基金和科技公司正在雇佣更多的女性。确保产品是为每个人设计的,会让顾客更快乐、更安全。对于那些做对了的公司来说,这意味着更高的利润)”可知,作者对无偏见产品设计的未来是积极的看法。故选D。
D
Glass might soon meet a surprising competitor: bamboo. Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that repels fire and water, and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo.
Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts. To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4 — 7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees.
The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing lignin which makes plants look solid and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics.
Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn’t catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals.
32. What does the underlined word “repels” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Resists. B. Conducts. C. Absorbs. D. Attracts.
33. How did the researchers make bamboo see-through?
A. By adding plastic-like materials and water.
B. By removing sodium silicate and adding lignin.
C. By adding lignin and filling it with sodium silicate.
D. By removing lignin and filling it with sodium silicate.
34. What can be learned about clear bamboo from the text?
A. It is not as strong as common plastics.
B. It can only be used for building windows.
C. It offers potential for both building and energy fields.
D. It is less environmentally friendly than traditional glass.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of making clear wood. B. The disadvantages of traditional glass.
C. A new environmentally friendly material. D. The application of clear bamboo in solar cells.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】

【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn’t catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy.(重要的是,透明竹子显示出特殊的防火安全特性。与木质材料不同,它不易着火,能阻挡水,并阻止危险烟雾和气体的扩散——这是建筑使用的关键优势。当作为先进太阳能电池(一种能源技术)的基底进行测试时,它有助于更好地控制光线,将能源产量提高了 15.29%。这种双重作用表明,它可以用于利用阳光照明,同时产生清洁能源的智能建筑中)”可推知,透明竹子在建筑和能源领域都有潜在的应用价值。故选C。

【38题详解】
结合后文Most Americans had never heard of raisins at that time.( 那时,大多数美国人从未听说过葡萄干)可知,美国人那时还不知道葡萄可以制成葡萄干,因此本句应当说明葡萄被用作了其他用途,如当做新鲜水果或制成葡萄酒。故C选项“这些葡萄要么作为新鲜水果食用,要么制成葡萄酒”符合上下文语境,故选C。
【39题详解】
根据上文One grower took the dried grapes to a grocer in San Francisco.( 一个种植者把晒干的葡萄拿到旧金山的一家杂货店)中a grocer可对应到G选项中“The grocer's”,同为说明葡萄干在这家杂货店的情况。故G选项“杂货店的顾客发现葡萄干是一种美味的食品”符合上下文语境,故选G。
【40题详解】
结合后文Raisins also provide potassium, magnesium, calcium and certain B vitamins.( 葡萄干还提供钾、镁、钙和某些B族维生素)可知,此处是在说明葡萄干的好处。故E选项“葡萄干含铁量高,这对儿童生长发育很重要”符合上下文语境,故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者与小王子的交流以及小王子和玫瑰之间的故事,展现了小王子情感的变化。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:多亏了那只绵羊,小王子生活的秘密被透露给了我。“the secret of the little prince’s life”是句子主语,与“reveal”之间是被动关系,即秘密被揭示,且动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为单数。故填was revealed。
【57题详解】
考查介词固定搭配。句意:我告诉小王子,花的刺完全没有用处。“be of no use”为固定短语,意为“无用的”。故填of。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我不耐烦的态度激怒了小王子,他的脸因极度愤怒而变得苍白。“____3____ face turned white with extreme rage”为定语从句,先行词是“the little prince”,在从句中“face”和“the little prince”是所属关系,要用关系代词whose引导定语从句,在从句中作定语。故填whose。
59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他抽泣着说:“如果一个人爱上一朵花,只要看着它盛开的那颗星星,就足以让他开心。”此处泛指“一朵花”,“flower”是可数名词,且发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a;也可用one表示“一”的概念。故填a/one。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他的话让我感到羞愧。“make sb. + 形容词”为固定结构,此处用形容词作宾补,“ashamed”表示“感到羞愧的”,符合语境。故填ashamed。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我把他抱在怀里摇晃着,用言语安慰他。句中已有谓语动词“took”和“rocked”,所给动词“reassure”需用非谓语动词形式,主语“I”与“reassure”是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填reassuring。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:小王子遇到了一朵独特的花,它是由一颗从不知名地方吹来的种子长出来的。that引导的定语从句中,已有谓语动词“came up”,所给动词“blow”需用非谓语动词形式,“seed”和“blow”是逻辑上的被动关系,即种子被吹,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填blown。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:被她的芬芳和光彩迷住了,小王子无法抑制自己的爱慕之情。“his”是形容词性物主代词,后接名词,“admiration”表示“钦佩,赞赏”,符合语境,作resist宾语。故填admiration。
【64题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:尽管小王子满足了她所有的要求,但他逐渐因她的谎言和虚荣而感到沮丧。“the little prince satisfied all her requests”是对“the fact”的解释说明,为同位语从句,从句不缺少成分,句意完整,所以用连接词that引导。故填that。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:他意识到自己没能看到她骄傲背后的爱意,并且承认自己年轻时无法真正理解和珍惜她。“realized he failed to see the love behind her pride”和“admitted his youthful inability to truly understand and cherish her”是并列关系,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
第四部分:单词拼写(共10小题,每题1分,满分10分)
根据首字母或汉语填空,一空一词。
(注意:运用必修二Units 1—2词汇,并将完整且准确的单词形式写在答题卡上)

69. In time of difficulty, what we need is not ________ (抱怨) about each other but understanding of each other. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)

【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:20 年前,当他遭受严重的背痛时,他开始对替代疗法产生了兴趣。空处为when引导的时间状语从句中的谓语,表示“遭受折磨”应用动词suffer,根据时间状语“20 years ago”可知,空处应使用一般过去时。故填suffered。
73. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not wise for teenagers to be a_____________ to playing with smart phones because we may ignore other things in life. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】addicted##ddicted
【解析】

第二节(满分25分)
77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
The class came to an end. John was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! John picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in John’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! John looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Smith was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning.
John decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would be most likely to be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?”, he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John stared at the blank name line for a moment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“John, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Smith said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】John stared at the blank name line for a moment. He knew his plan wouldn’t be so great if he won with a ticket that didn’t belong to him. So he walked up to his teacher. “Miss Smith, I happened to find this ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think the one who lost it will look for it. And these are mine.” he said, dropping his six tickets into the box. When he turned around to leave, the teacher stopped him.
“John, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Smith said. John was amazed and wondered why. Miss Smith smiled and signed to the class to quiet down, “John handed in the golden ticket he had just found. I think he is honest and deserves another one!” The class burst into loud applause. John happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the ticket drawing. He still wanted his name to be picked, but he would feel OK even if it wasn’t. After all, making the right choice did make him feel great!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了约翰班上的男孩和女孩可以通过学习成绩好或者通过额外的帮助或者善良而获得金奖券。每周一次,他们的老师从桌上的一个盒子里抽出一张彩票,让获奖者选择一个奖品。一天约翰在地上捡到一张没有名字的金奖券,他本可以在这张没有名字的券上写上自己的名字,这样就可以抽到奖品为妹妹准备生日礼物,但是他最后还是将这张券给了老师。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“约翰盯着空白的姓名行看了一会儿。”可知,第一段可描写约翰犹豫不决,不知道该不该留下这张券纠结心里。
②由第二段首句内容““约翰,我打算给你一票!”史密斯小姐说。”可知,第二段可描写约翰将捡到的券给了老师,他的这一做法赢得了大家的赞赏,所以老师给了他一张券。
2.续写线索:兴奋——犹豫——上交——夸赞——高兴——感悟
