Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 41 Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D Happiness means having money and power. 42. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 43. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________. A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 44. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 45. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________. A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical C To grow sugary dates in the sand, Siwa’s farmers must first make the desert suitable for farming. An oasis (绿洲) in Egypt, Siwa has been home to humans for thousands of years. Since ancient times, the oasis has hosted farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians, tables. The desert environment in Siwa is not quite fit for plants to grow. For example, the water there contains much salt. However, with local people’s efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony. That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. To make a new piece of field, farmers first remove the top soil and replace it with a mixture of sand and waste matter from animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and olive trees. These farming skills are passed down from generation to generation. To grow date trees is demanding. And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to mature, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa grows more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year. The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is significant in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course, there’s the fruit itself. The dates can be cooked with goat meat or mixed with eggs for breakfast. They can also be mixed with flour, water, and olive oil, and boiled slowly to make a local dessert. Local farmers once developed many unique date varieties, which their camels carried to Cairo. But later many of those varieties perished. And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk. The 1985 construction of a road in the oasis made the survival of local agricultural tradition even tougher. 46. What can we learn about sugary dates from Paragraph 1? A. They can adapt to tough environment. B. They have existed for a long time. C. They’re introduced to Egypt from abroad. D. They’re the most valuable fruit in Egypt. 47. What impressed the author a lot during his visit to Siwa? A. The great variety of plants grown there, B. The hard but happy life of local people. C. The great complexity of the local agriculture. D. The local farmers’ wisdom and contribution to farming. 48. What do the figures mentioned in Paragraph 3 show? A. It’s worthwhile to make an effort to grow date trees. B. It’s easy for farmers to pick dates from the trees. C. It costs a lot to grow date trees in the basis. D. It’s necessary to develop agriculture in Siwa. 49. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. People’s preference for dates. B. The introduction to local food, C. The usage of date trees’ different parts. D. The locals’ high expectations of date trees. 50. What does the underlined word “perished” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Died out. B. Spread out. C. Got created. D. Became known. D TikTok is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18. The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said it is introducing the feature to encourage teens to manage their screen time. TikTok added that the new limit comes after it brought in a prompt (提示符) last year, which helped increase the use of their screen time tools by 234%. Hitting the limit, users affected will receive a new passcode on the screen in their app to unlock extra time. Anyone who rejects the new 60-minute restriction and goes on to use the app for 100 minutes a day will receive a warning from TikTok to set their own screen time controls. Parents of children using the Family Pairing option on the app will also be able to set screen time limits, as well as access a dashboard (控制面板) which would give a breakdown of app usage. Cormac Keenan, head of trust and safety at TikTok, said the company had worked with researchers in developing the new limits. “Since there’s no agreement on the ‘right’ amount of screen time, we consulted the current academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital in choosing this limit,” he said. Critics of the video app welcomed the screen time limit, but described it as the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to TikTok’s response to young users’ exposure to the platform. “TikTok has won the race for the hearts and minds of 14 to 24-year-olds in the United States and the United Kingdom,” said Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “It is the one that needs to be dealt with most urgently.” Mr Ahmed said his centre’s research at the end of last year found that within minutes of opening a TikTok account, a 13-year-old girl user was receiving eating disorder and self-harm content in her feed. He called on the platform to focus its efforts not just on limiting screen time, but also to “clean up” feeds of harmful content to make it a “safe environment for children”. 51. In the first paragraph, TikTok is introducing the new screen time limit to________. A. encourage in-person interactions B. increase the use of the platform C. help teens stay in control of their use D. avoid criticism from concerned parents 52. What will happen when users under 18 reach their screen time limit? A. Their parents will send them a warning message. B. They will be locked out of their account for the day. C. They must enter a passcode to continue using the app. D. Their parents must access a dashboard to activate the app. 53. How did TikTok develop the new limits? A. By seeking expert advice. B. By consulting the government. C. By launching a survey among its users. D. By copying other social media platforms. 54. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph? A. An insufficient action to keep teens safe on TikTok. B. An noticeable part of network security problems. C. An urgent issue waiting for TikTok to deal with. D. An over reliance on TikTok among teens. 55. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________. A. TikTok exposes young users to mental disorder B. TikTok is dangerously addictive to teens C. TikTok appeals to young users worldwide D. TikTok is popular but not safe enough for teens 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题) 四、阅读表达：本大题共5小题，每题2分，共10分。 阅读下面短文并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 The Christmas of my 16th, when decorating the Christmas tree with Mum, I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball. It had been on our tree for as long as I could remember. Regretfully, I knelt to pick up the pieces and was surprised to find a small piece of paper among them. Unfolding the tiny note, I recognized my father’s penciled writing. Lifting my eyes, I saw my mothers smile. “Your Daddy wrote that and put it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together, just before you were born,” she said. I wouldn’t have believed it, if there hadn’t been the note in my hands. Daddy always regarded getting the tree decorated as an important task. And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my Daddy had done something romantic at Christmas. Carefully putting the note aside, I cleaned up the pieces, wishing I could reassemble them. “You needn’t fit the parts of the old glass ball together again. Pick out another one and put the note back inside.” Mum said. Now, as I celebrate the holidays without Mum, who died of cancer years ago, I feel really sad. Each year as I decorate Christmas tree. I recall the moment I shared with her that winter afternoon and blink away my tears. As I carefully handle those old glass balls. I love knowing that one of them holds a secret between Daddy and Mum — a secret that was obvious to all who knew them. The note inside one of those old glass balls on Christmas tree holds the heart of my parents’ marriage in three warm words: “I love you.” 56.

I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 41. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 42. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 43. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________. A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 44. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 45. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________. A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有两种幸福，作者着重讲述了第二种幸福，认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天幸福。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. (我不相信幸福有一个普遍的定义。根据我的说法，幸福是一种非常主观的情感)”可推知，作者认为幸福很主观，所以每个人都有自己的幸福。故选B项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. (我所说的第二种幸福来自我们对生活的期望，这种期望因人而异。例如，一个对自己的生活抱有很大期望的人可能会发现很难找到幸福。他们在生活中不断地寻找these things，而这些东西似乎总是逃避他们)”可知，人们对生活有太多期望是难以找到幸福的，可得出these things指代上文提到的“对生活的期望”。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! (在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们寻求更多的新目标、新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，即使他们的目标实现了，有些人仍然不快乐，是因为他们有需要实现的新目标要完成。故选C项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人可能会幸福。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“here is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. (有一种幸福是普遍的，还有另一种幸福，对我们每个人来说都很独特。正是这种幸福让我觉得更有趣)”和第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，作者认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天、能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人更有可能每天幸福。由此推知，作者告诉读者要随遇而安，尽情享受每一天，去感受幸福。故选C项。 C To grow sugary dates in the sand, Siwa’s farmers must first make the desert suitable for farming. An oasis (绿洲) in Egypt, Siwa has been home to humans for thousands of years. Since ancient times, the oasis has hosted farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians, tables. The desert environment in Siwa is not quite fit for plants to grow. For example, the water there contains much salt. However, with local people’s efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony. That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. To make a new piece of field, farmers first remove the top soil and replace it with a mixture of sand and waste matter from animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and olive trees. These farming skills are passed down from generation to generation. To grow date trees is demanding. And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to mature, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa grows more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year. The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is significant in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course, there’s the fruit itself. The dates can be cooked with goat meat or mixed with eggs for breakfast. They can also be mixed with flour, water, and olive oil, and boiled slowly to make a local dessert. Local farmers once developed many unique date varieties, which their camels carried to Cairo. But later many of those varieties perished. And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk. The 1985 construction of a road in the oasis made the survival of local agricultural tradition even tougher. 46. What can we learn about sugary dates from Paragraph 1? A. They can adapt to tough environment. B. They have existed for a long time. C. They’re introduced to Egypt from abroad. D. They’re the most valuable fruit in Egypt. 47. What impressed the author a lot during his visit to Siwa? A. The great variety of plants grown there, B. The hard but happy life of local people. C. The great complexity of the local agriculture. D. The local farmers’ wisdom and contribution to farming. 48. What do the figures mentioned in Paragraph 3 show? A. It’s worthwhile to make an effort to grow date trees. B. It’s easy for farmers to pick dates from the trees. C. It costs a lot to grow date trees in the basis. D. It’s necessary to develop agriculture in Siwa. 49. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. People’s preference for dates. B. The introduction to local food, C. The usage of date trees’ different parts. D. The locals’ high expectations of date trees. 50. What does the underlined word “perished” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Died out. B. Spread out. C. Got created. D. Became known. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Siwa的农民克服地理环境上的困难，用智慧和努力在沙漠上种甜枣的故事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Since ancient times, the oasis has hosted farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians, tables.(自古以来，这个绿洲就有农场生产埃及一些最有价值的椰枣，甜椰枣也出现在埃及人的餐桌上)”可知，甜枣已经存在很长时间了。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, with local people’s efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony. That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. (然而，在当地人的努力下，Siwa绿洲包含了复杂的农田，枣树、农作物和其他植物在这里和谐地生长。在我参观绿洲时，那给我留下了深刻的印象)”可知，在Siwa访问期间，当地农民的智慧和对农业的贡献给作者留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to mature, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa grows more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year.(一棵新的枣树需要10年的时间成熟，但一旦成熟，树就会结出丰硕的果实:每年大约110磅的枣子。每个农民都用熟练的手采摘枣子。他们只用一条皮带就能爬树。Siwa族每年总共种植28万棵椰枣，产量超过2.5万吨)”可知，第三段提到的数字表明，努力种植枣树是值得的。故选A项。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is significant in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course, there’s the fruit itself.(枣子可以新鲜吃，也可以弄干吃。枣树的每一部分在锡瓦都很重要，从做成床和盒子的叶子到用来盖房子的木头。当然，还有水果本身)”可知，第四段主要是枣树不同部位的用途。故选C项。 【50题详解】 从句猜测题。根据划线词后面的“And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk.(在今天，仅剩几种主要的品种被保留了下来，一些已经很稀缺了，甚至处于危险中)”可推知，划线词所在句意为“但后来这些品种中的许多都灭绝了。”由此推知，划线词perished与died out意思接近。故选A项。 D TikTok is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18. The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said it is introducing the feature to encourage teens to manage their screen time. TikTok added that the new limit comes after it brought in a prompt (提示符) last year, which helped increase the use of their screen time tools by 234%. Hitting the limit, users affected will receive a new passcode on the screen in their app to unlock extra time. Anyone who rejects the new 60-minute restriction and goes on to use the app for 100 minutes a day will receive a warning from TikTok to set their own screen time controls. Parents of children using the Family Pairing option on the app will also be able to set screen time limits, as well as access a dashboard (控制面板) which would give a breakdown of app usage. Cormac Keenan, head of trust and safety at TikTok, said the company had worked with researchers in developing the new limits. “Since there’s no agreement on the ‘right’ amount of screen time, we consulted the current academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital in choosing this limit,” he said. Critics of the video app welcomed the screen time limit, but described it as the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to TikTok’s response to young users’ exposure to the platform. “TikTok has won the race for the hearts and minds of 14 to 24-year-olds in the United States and the United Kingdom,” said Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “It is the one that needs to be dealt with most urgently.” Mr Ahmed said his centre’s research at the end of last year found that within minutes of opening a TikTok account, a 13-year-old girl user was receiving eating disorder and self-harm content in her feed. He called on the platform to focus its efforts not just on limiting screen time, but also to “clean up” feeds of harmful content to make it a “safe environment for children”. 51. In the first paragraph, TikTok is introducing the new screen time limit to________. A. encourage in-person interactions B. increase the use of the platform C. help teens stay in control of their use D. avoid criticism from concerned parents 52. What will happen when users under 18 reach their screen time limit? A. Their parents will send them a warning message. B. They will be locked out of their account for the day. C. They must enter a passcode to continue using the app. D. Their parents must access a dashboard to activate the app. 53. How did TikTok develop the new limits? A. By seeking expert advice. B. By consulting the government. C. By launching a survey among its users. D. By copying other social media platforms. 54. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph? A. An insufficient action to keep teens safe on TikTok. B. An noticeable part of network security problems. C. An urgent issue waiting for TikTok to deal with. D. An over reliance on TikTok among teens. 55. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________. A. TikTok exposes young users to mental disorder B. TikTok is dangerously addictive to teens C. TikTok appeals to young users worldwide D. TikTok is popular but not safe enough for teens 【答案】51. C 52. C 53. A 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了TikTok引入了新的屏幕时间限制，以帮助青少年控制自己的使用，解释了这一举措背后的原因以及来源。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“TikTok is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18. The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said it is introducing the feature to encourage teens to manage their screen time. TikTok added that the new limit comes after it brought in a prompt (提示符) last year, which helped increase the use of their screen time tools by 234%.(TikTok为18岁以下的用户设置了每天60分钟的屏幕时间限制。这款视频应用由中国字节跳动公司所有，该公司表示，推出这一功能是为了鼓励青少年管理他们的屏幕时间。TikTok补充说，新的限制是在去年引入提示符之后出台的，这使得他们的屏幕时间工具的使用率增加了234%)”可知，在第一段中，TikTok引入了新的屏幕时间限制，以帮助青少年控制自己的使用。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Hitting the limit, users affected will receive a new passcode on the screen in their app to unlock extra time.(达到限制后，受影响的用户将在其应用程序的屏幕上收到一个新密码，以解锁额外的时间)”可知，当18岁以下的用户达到屏幕使用时间限制时，他们必须输入密码才能继续使用应用程序。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Since there’s no agreement on the ‘right’ amount of screen time, we consulted the current academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital in choosing this limit,” he said.(他说：“由于对屏幕时间的‘正确’量没有一致意见，我们咨询了目前的学术研究和波士顿儿童医院数字健康实验室的专家，选择了这个限制。”)”可知，TikTok通过寻求专家建议开发新的限制。故选A。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Critics of the video app welcomed the screen time limit”以及后文“when it comes to TikTok’s response to young users’ exposure to the platform”可知，这款视频应用的批评者对屏幕时间限制表示欢迎，但在TikTok对年轻用户接触该平台的反应方面，他们称这只是“保护青少年在TikTok上安全的行动不足”的其中一个问题。后文也提到了13岁女孩收到了饮食失调和自我伤害的内容，故划线词意思是“保护青少年在TikTok上安全的行动不足”。故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr Ahmed said his centre’s research at the end of last year found that within minutes of opening a TikTok account, a 13-year-old girl user was receiving eating disorder and self-harm content in her feed. He called on the platform to focus its efforts not just on limiting screen time, but also to “clean up” feeds of harmful content to make it a “safe environment for children”.(艾哈迈德表示，他的中心去年年底的研究发现，一名13岁的女孩用户在开通TikTok账户的几分钟内，就收到了饮食失调和自我伤害的内容。他呼吁该平台不仅要集中精力限制屏幕时间，还要“清理”有害内容，使其成为“儿童的安全环境”)”可推知，TikTok很受欢迎，但对青少年来说不够安全。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题) 四、阅读表达：本大题共5小题，每题2分，共10分。 阅读下面短文并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 The Christmas of my 16th, when decorating the Christmas tree with Mum, I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball. It had been on our tree for as long as I could remember. Regretfully, I knelt to pick up the pieces and was surprised to find a small piece of paper among them. Unfolding the tiny note, I recognized my father’s penciled writing. Lifting my eyes, I saw my mothers smile. “Your Daddy wrote that and put it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together, just before you were born,” she said. I wouldn’t have believed it, if there hadn’t been the note in my hands. Daddy always regarded getting the tree decorated as an important task. And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my Daddy had done something romantic at Christmas. Carefully putting the note aside, I cleaned up the pieces, wishing I could reassemble them. “You needn’t fit the parts of the old glass ball together again. Pick out another one and put the note back inside.” Mum said. Now, as I celebrate the holidays without Mum, who died of cancer years ago, I feel really sad. Each year as I decorate Christmas tree. I recall the moment I shared with her that winter afternoon and blink away my tears. As I carefully handle those old glass balls. I love knowing that one of them holds a secret between Daddy and Mum — a secret that was obvious to all who knew them. The note inside one of those old glass balls on Christmas tree holds the heart of my parents’ marriage in three warm words: “I love you.” 56.
