When George was 8, his father sent him to work. Life was hard for the poor American family. Food became more important than school. When George was 98, he heard about evening classes near his home.

How much do you think each of them tipped? The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right?” The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” The Chinese woman asked, “What’s a tip ?” Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There, it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill. Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping-waiters and waitresses are expecting to get 15-20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all. Why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour. It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers and taxi drivers also expect tips. Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you may actually upset him or her. 54. What did the Chinese woman mean? A. She didn’t want to give any tip. B. She believed tipping should be little. C. She thought 20 percent was not enough. D. She didn’t know anything about tipping. 55. Why is tipping a big deal in the United States? A. Because it is not a tradition for servers to get payment. B Because waiters and waitresses get very low wages. C. Because the US sets a minimum wage for every person. D. Because there are too many serving jobs in the US. 56. Which country does not have a culture of tipping? A. Britain B. Indonesia C. Thailand D. Japan 57. What is the story mainly about? A. How Americans eat out. B. Tipping culture worldwide. C. Why high tips are expected. D. Shared service traditions. 【答案】54. D 55. B 56. D 57. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了在世界各国人们给服务员小费的情况。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States.”可知，在中国给小费不是一种传统，因此那个中国女人的意思是她对给小费一无所知。故选D。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资), and tips make up for that.”可知，给小费在美国是件大事，因为服务员的工资很低。故选B。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture.”可知，在日本，没有小费的文化。故选D。 【57题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture.”可知，本文介绍了全世界的小费文化。故选B。 C “Look in my eyes! Tell me why!” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these famous ancient people speaking in a modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755—763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high sounds and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too eye-catching, which is different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake (假的) information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 58.

According to Nanfang Daily, what should we do when we watch these videos? A. Pay attention to the speaking style. B. Watch out for untrue information. C. Check the creators of the videos. D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了现在的视频博主用现代的方式让古代的人自己说话。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These videos have become popular, showing these famous ancient people speaking in a modern language.”可知，这些视频很受欢迎，展示了这些著名的古代人用现代语言说话。故选A。 【59题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“‘They’re too eye-catching, which is different from how they really were,’ explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu.”可知，annoy的意思是“使某人生气”。故选C。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Xia Boen,14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos.”可知，他不喜欢他们说话的方式，但记得他们说的话。故选D。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据“These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people ‘speak for themselves’. However, ‘we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake (假) information,’ noted Nanfang Daily.”可推知，应该小心不真实的信息。故选B。 D Imagine (想象) you are collecting some information about winter traditions in northern China. You click on a link for a video that you think could be useful to you. The video, however, takes time to load. After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you continue to wait patiently? Ramesh Sitaraman is an American computer scientist. He placed 6.7 million people in a situation like the one above. According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the “Close” icon. Sitaraman’s study, along with several other studies, shows people are becoming less and less patient. Because of the faster and faster Internet speeds, we are used to receiving “instant gratification”. We expect to get what we want without having to wait. When we don’t get what we want at once, we become worried or even angry. This happens not only in front of our screens. Take one of my friends for example. One day last summer, he was cycling home after work. At one crossing, he had to stop because of a red traffic light. After waiting for 30 seconds, he felt impatient and made a crazy decision: Go in whichever (无论哪个) direction he saw there was a green light. The decision didn’t really save him time. In fact, he took a detour and needed 20 minutes more than usual to get back home. My friend is not alone. Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes—a main reason for accidents. Being patient doesn’t just save you trouble. It is also key to your success in life. The next time you want to get instant gratification, ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time. 62. Why does the writer ask readers to imagine putting themselves in the situation in paragraph1? A. To make people think about if they are patient. B. To introduce the right way of clicking on links. C. To recommend readers how to find useful videos. D. To describe the importance of Chinese traditions. 63. Suppose (假定) “x” means the time people have to wait before the video begins and that “y” means the number of the people who choose to wait for the video to start playing. According to paragraph 2, which of the charts below shows the relationship (关系) between “x” and “y”? A. B. C. D. 64. What is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①……②③……④⑤……⑥ B. ①②……③④⑤…⑥ C. ①②……③④……⑤⑥ D. ①……②③④……⑤⑥ 65. How does the writer feel about “instant gratification”? A. The writer strongly supports it. B. The writer doesn’t agree about it. C. The writer can’t decide if it is right. D. The writer shows great interest in it. 【答案】62. A 63. B 64. A 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现如今“耐心”的重要性以及当我们快要失去耐心时，我们应该怎样做。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The video, however, takes time to load. After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you continue to wait patiently?”可知，作者让读者思考当自己遇到下载视频需要等待时，是否会耐心等待，可推测作者想让人们思考自己是否有耐心。故选A。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据“According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the ‘Close’ icon.”可知，如果两秒钟后视频还没有开始下载，人们就会开始放弃这个视频，并且每过一秒就会有5.8%的人关闭视频下载，可推测人们可以等待2秒钟，2秒钟后人数迅速下降。故选B。 【64题详解】 篇章结构题。根据全文可知，①通过下载视频的事情，让读者思考自己是否有耐心，总起引出下文；②③通过Ramesh Sitaraman的研究说明人们在使用电脑时耐心越来越少，并指出人们没有耐心的原因；④⑤通过作者朋友的例子指出了我们在生活中遇到事情或麻烦时同样没有耐心；⑥总结全文，提出增加耐心的建议，可推测文章结构为①总起引出下文——②③事件——④⑤事件——⑥总结全文。故选A。 【65题详解】 观点态度题。根据“The next time you want to get instant gratification, ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time.”可知，作者希望在下次想立即得到满足时，请思考自己是否真的如此着急，如果不着急真的会错过一些重要的事情吗，最后作者提出做好事情需要时间，可推测作者不赞同即时满足。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66.

The girl had trouble _______ what happened to her because of shyness. (解释) 【答案】explaining 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个女孩因为害羞，难以解释发生在她身上的事。根据“The girl had trouble...”可知，此处考查have trouble doing sth表示“做某事有困难”，“解释”对应的动词为explain，需用其动名词形式explaining符合语境。故填explaining。 71. The shy girl always avoids ______ in places which are too public. (work) 【答案】working 【解析】 【详解】句意：害羞的女孩总是避免工作在太公众的地方。avoid“避免”，后接动名词作宾语，故填working。 72. The storm caused flood. Thousands of people were _______. (home) 【答案】homeless 【解析】 【详解】句意：暴风雨引发了洪水，成千上万的人无家可归。根据“The storm caused flood”可知，洪水导致人们失去家园，也就是无家可归，home变为homeless，表示“无家可归的”，形容词。故填homeless。 73 The boy worked hard and finished _______ in the competition. (nine) 【答案】ninth 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个男孩努力工作并在比赛中获得了第九名。根据括号内提示词及句子结构可知，此处需要将基数词nine转换为序数词ninth，表示“第九名”。故填ninth。 74. No decisions have been reached since the plan is still under _______.

Suddenly a footman (男仆) with the face of a fish ran out of the woods. She knew he was a footman because he was wearing a footman’s uniform. He had a big envelope (信封) under his arm. He knocked on the door of the house and another footman with the face of a frog opened it. The fish-footman gave the frog-footman the envelope and said in a very serious voice. “For the Duchess. An invitation from the Queen to play croquet (槌球).” The frog footman repeated in a serious voice: “From the Queen. An invitation to the Duchess (公爵夫人) to play croquet.” They looked very silly. Alice wanted to laugh. When the fish-footman left, Alice opened the door and went in. Alice found herself in a big kitchen. The Duchess was sitting in the middle of it. She was holding a crying baby. The cook was standing next to the fire. She was stirring a pan of soup. Alice sneezed (打喷嚏). “There’s too much pepper (胡椒粉) in that soup,” she said to herself. It was true. Both the Duchess and the baby were sneezing, too. A big cat was sitting on the floor near the fire. It was grinning (咧嘴笑) from ear to ear. “Er-excuse me,” Alice said to the Duchess. “Why is your cat grinning?” “Because it’s a Cheshire Cat,” the Duchess replied. “Pig!” She said the last word very loudly and Alice jumped. But the Duchess wasn’t speaking to her. She was speaking to the crying baby. Alice decided to continue the conversation. “I didn’t know that Cheshire cats grinned. In fact, I didn’t know that cats could grin.” “Well, they can. And most of them do!” the Duchess said. Suddenly she threw the baby at Alice. The baby was difficult to hold because it was a strange shape. Alice looked at the baby again, more carefully. It was a pig. —Taken from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 76.

A. 25% B. 30% C. 50% D. 80% B Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think each of them tipped? The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right?” The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” The Chinese woman asked, “What’s a tip ?” Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There, it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill. Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping-waiters and waitresses are expecting to get 15-20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all. Why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour. It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers and taxi drivers also expect tips. Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you may actually upset him or her. 54. What did the Chinese woman mean? A. She didn’t want to give any tip. B. She believed tipping should be little. C. She thought 20 percent was not enough. D. She didn’t know anything about tipping. 55. Why is tipping a big deal in the United States? A. Because it is not a tradition for servers to get payment. B. Because waiters and waitresses get very low wages. C. Because the US sets a minimum wage for every person. D. Because there are too many serving jobs in the US. 56. Which country does not have a culture of tipping? A. Britain B. Indonesia C. Thailand D. Japan 57. What is the story mainly about? A. How Americans eat out. B. Tipping culture worldwide. C. Why high tips are expected. D. Shared service traditions. C “Look in my eyes! Tell me why!” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these famous ancient people speaking in a modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755—763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high sounds and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too eye-catching, which is different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake (假的) information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 58. What do the famous ancient people do in the creative videos, according to Paragraph 2? A. They speak in a modern way. B. They write poems in modern styles. C. They chat with popular vloggers about AI. D. They show people’s lives in the Tang Dynasty. 59. What does the underlined word “annoys” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Makes someone relaxed. B. Makes someone interested. C. Makes someone angry. D. Makes someone feel different. 60. What is Xia Boen’s opinion of the videos? A. He preferred traditional textbooks to these videos. B. He enjoyed watching them and found them fun. C. He was surprised by the ancient people’s achievements. D. He disliked how they spoke but remembered what they said. 61. According to Nanfang Daily, what should we do when we watch these videos? A Pay attention to the speaking style. B. Watch out for untrue information. C. Check the creators of the videos. D. Copy the way the ancient people speak. D Imagine (想象) you are collecting some information about winter traditions in northern China. You click on a link for a video that you think could be useful to you. The video, however, takes time to load. After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you continue to wait patiently? Ramesh Sitaraman is an American computer scientist. He placed 6.7 million people in a situation like the one above. According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the “Close” icon. Sitaraman’s study, along with several other studies, shows people are becoming less and less patient. Because of the faster and faster Internet speeds, we are used to receiving “instant gratification”. We expect to get what we want without having to wait. When we don’t get what we want at once, we become worried or even angry. This happens not only in front of our screens. Take one of my friends for example. One day last summer, he was cycling home after work. At one crossing, he had to stop because of a red traffic light. After waiting for 30 seconds, he felt impatient and made a crazy decision: Go in whichever (无论哪个) direction he saw there was a green light. The decision didn’t really save him time. In fact, he took a detour and needed 20 minutes more than usual to get back home. My friend is not alone. Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes—a main reason for accidents. Being patient doesn’t just save you trouble. It is also key to your success in life. The next time you want to get instant gratification, ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time. 62. Why does the writer ask readers to imagine putting themselves in the situation in paragraph1? A. To make people think about if they are patient. B. To introduce the right way of clicking on links. C. To recommend readers how to find useful videos. D. To describe the importance of Chinese traditions. 63. Suppose (假定) “x” means the time people have to wait before the video begins and that “y” means the number of the people who choose to wait for the video to start playing. According to paragraph 2, which of the charts below shows the relationship (关系) between “x” and “y”? A. B. C. D. 64. What is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①……②③……④⑤……⑥ B. ①②……③④⑤…⑥ C. ①②……③④……⑤⑥ D. ①……②③④……⑤⑥ 65. How does the writer feel about “instant gratification”? A. The writer strongly supports it. B. The writer doesn’t agree about it. C. The writer can’t decide if it is right. D. The writer shows great interest in it. 第Ⅱ卷（60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66.

Suddenly a footman (男仆) with the face of a fish ran out of the woods. She knew he was a footman because he was wearing a footman’s uniform. He had a big envelope (信封) under his arm. He knocked on the door of the house and another footman with the face of a frog opened it. The fish-footman gave the frog-footman the envelope and said in a very serious voice. “For the Duchess. An invitation from the Queen to play croquet (槌球).” The frog footman repeated in a serious voice: “From the Queen. An invitation to the Duchess (公爵夫人) to play croquet.” They looked very silly. Alice wanted to laugh. When the fish-footman left, Alice opened the door and went in. Alice found herself in a big kitchen. The Duchess was sitting in the middle of it. She was holding a crying baby. The cook was standing next to the fire. She was stirring a pan of soup. Alice sneezed (打喷嚏). “There’s too much pepper (胡椒粉) in that soup,” she said to herself. It was true. Both the Duchess and the baby were sneezing, too. A big cat was sitting on the floor near the fire. It was grinning (咧嘴笑) from ear to ear. “Er-excuse me,” Alice said to the Duchess. “Why is your cat grinning?” “Because it’s a Cheshire Cat,” the Duchess replied. “Pig!” She said the last word very loudly and Alice jumped. But the Duchess wasn’t speaking to her. She was speaking to the crying baby. Alice decided to continue the conversation. “I didn’t know that Cheshire cats grinned. In fact, I didn’t know that cats could grin.” “Well, they can. And most of them do!” the Duchess said. Suddenly she threw the baby at Alice. The baby was difficult to hold because it was a strange shape. Alice looked at the baby again, more carefully. It was a pig. —Taken from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 76.
