B I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.

From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing.

She was watching. her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.

Learning to Be Roommate C People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones. A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer. All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become. “It really went well beyond our expectation” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.” Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families. “If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.” 46. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that . A. more fruits are offered at lower prices B. normal-looking produce is banned there C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day 47. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program . A. prevents people from wasting their food B. happens to be a win-win arrangement C. teaches food producers how to grow D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce 48. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The ugly food line B. The food to be wasted C. The abnormal harvest D. All the produce 49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce. B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce. C Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life. D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws. 50. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed. B. The world is usually full of imperfect things. C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones. D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store. D Laugh is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more infectious than any cough or yawn. When laughter is shared, it unites people together and increases happiness and understanding. In addition to “the domino effect” of joy and amusement, laughter also produces healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, improve your energy, reduce pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use. Laughter is a powerful cure to stress, pain, and disagreement. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh after a quarrel. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and ready to act. With so many advantages, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a great resource for defeating problems, improving your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. More than just a break from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult times, a laugh-or even simply a smile-can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter is really infectious-just hearing laughter trains your brain to smile and join in on the fun. Laughter is your birthright and a natural part of life. Infants begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born. Even if you did not grow up in a family where laughter was a common sound, you can learn to laugh at any stage of life. Begin by setting aside special times to seek out humor and laughter, as you might with working out, and build from there. Eventually, you’ll want to add humor and laughter into your life, finding it naturally in everything you do. 51. In the passage, “the domino effect” means ______. A. laughter can bring some unexpected results like cold B. physical changes will be influenced without laughter C. laughter causes other similar positive changes to happen D. the sound of roaring laughter sounds like the sound of falling cards 52. What is the biggest advantage of laughter according to the passage? A. It makes others regard you as a humorous and attractive person. B. People of different languages can communicate by it. C. A person takes it more easily than other kinds of medicine. D. It wastes no money and it can be reached in any time and any place. 53. What is the easiest way to relieve embarrassment after two persons quarreled? A Keep silent and go out of the room slowly. B. Give a smile or laugh from the heart. C. Play a trick on the other one at once. D. Give up one’s opinion and accept the other’s. 54. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. Laughter stands for a positive attitude and inspires you. B. Laughter strengthens a person’s heart and cures patients. C. People should learn to escape from the sad and painful world. D. People should often make trips to find chances of laughing. 55. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. How to choose courses to equip you with rich knowledge. B How to create chances to make you enjoy the benefit of laugh. C. How to make your spare time or after-school activities colorful. D. How to become a humorous person to make you like a gentleman. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共25分) 四、阅读表达：(本大题共5小题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Grandparents’ Day is a warm holiday that allows children and adults an opportunity to show their appreciation for their Grandparents. Grandparents’ Day and the weeks just before it are the time when children all over the country start thinking about what to get their Grandmothers and Grandfathers as presents for Grandparents’ Day. Of course, giving presents is just one way of celebrating Grandparents’ Day, but how to give gifts requires planning. Choosing presents for Grandparents’ Day can be a very difficult task. Because Grandparents’ Day and holidays of its kind are meant to honor some of the most important people in our lives, the task of choosing presents that will be appropriate can be challenging. You don’t know what they like and what can show how much you love and care for them. Especially for those children who do not have much money, finding the suitable Grandparents’ Day present at the right price is a very difficult task. One solution to the difficulty is not to buy anything at all. Rather than buying a material item that is almost sure to be short of expressing the depth and sincerity (诚心诚意) of your feelings for your Grandmother or Grandfather, consider another kind of choice entirely. One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. Of course, there are also a lot more other ways to celebrate Grandparents’ Day than by just giving presents to your parents. 56. What does Grandparents’ Day mean to people? (No more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________ 57. What is challenging when you choose presents? (No more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________ 58. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “appropriate”? (one word) _____________________________________________________________________ 59. What gifts can best show your love to your grandparents?

He said goodbye to his parents and got on the bus, promising to keep them ________ of whatever he would do at school. A. informing B. being informed C. to inform D. informed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他向父母道别后上了公交车，还承诺会随时向他们汇报自己在学校里的情况。此处inform与them构成被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补，故选D。 15. —I’m afraid I can’t finish the work that I have never done before. —______.

A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer. All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become. “It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.” Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families. “If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.” 46. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that . A. more fruits are offered at lower prices B. normal-looking produce is banned there C imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day 47. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program . A. prevents people from wasting their food B. happens to be a win-win arrangement C. teaches food producers how to grow D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce 48. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The ugly food line B. The food to be wasted C. The abnormal harvest D. All the produce 49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce. B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce. C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life. D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws. 50. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed. B. The world is usually full of imperfect things. C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones. D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。在超市购物时，人们倾向于选择好看的水果和蔬菜，但是加拿大的一家连锁超市正在用较低的价格吸引顾客购买品相不太好的农产品。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones. 加拿大连锁超市Loblaws正是以低于正常价格30%的价格来吸引顾客，出售品相不太好的产品。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices.这一项目使食品经销商受益，否则他们将不得不让不正常的收成浪费，而消费者则可以以低价购买新鲜农场产品，可知他的计划是经销商和消费者双赢的。故选B。 【48题详解】 词意推测题。根据前边的内容可知the ugly food line运行良好超出预期，可知it指代前边提到的the ugly food line，故选A。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。第五段主要讲了对苹果和土豆最初提供的积极回应，显示了扩大这一产品线的机会，并为加拿大家庭提供更多的选择。正是这一需求促进了Loblaws的发展。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段Branson说农产品不会都长得很漂亮，不完美的苹果和完美的苹果放在一起一样的吃，可知不完美的农产品和完美的有一样的口感和营养价值，故选C。 D Laugh is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more infectious than any cough or yawn. When laughter is shared, it unites people together and increases happiness and understanding. In addition to “the domino effect” of joy and amusement, laughter also produces healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, improve your energy, reduce pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use. Laughter is a powerful cure to stress, pain, and disagreement. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh after a quarrel. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and ready to act. With so many advantages, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a great resource for defeating problems, improving your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. More than just a break from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult times, a laugh-or even simply a smile-can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter is really infectious-just hearing laughter trains your brain to smile and join in on the fun. Laughter is your birthright and a natural part of life. Infants begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born. Even if you did not grow up in a family where laughter was a common sound, you can learn to laugh at any stage of life. Begin by setting aside special times to seek out humor and laughter, as you might with working out, and build from there. Eventually, you’ll want to add humor and laughter into your life, finding it naturally in everything you do. 51. In the passage, “the domino effect” means ______. A. laughter can bring some unexpected results like cold B. physical changes will be influenced without laughter C. laughter causes other similar positive changes to happen D. the sound of roaring laughter sounds like the sound of falling cards 52.

A person takes it more easily than other kinds of medicine. D. It wastes no money and it can be reached in any time and any place. 53.

Play a trick on the other one at once. D. Give up one’s opinion and accept the other’s. 54. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. Laughter stands for a positive attitude and inspires you. B. Laughter strengthens a person’s heart and cures patients. C. People should learn to escape from the sad and painful world. D. People should often make trips to find chances of laughing. 55.

How to make your spare time or after-school activities colorful. D. How to become a humorous person to make you like a gentleman. 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. A 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述笑对于一个人的身体健康和精神都有积极作用，它能在很大程度上鼓舞一个人，甚至改变一个人的人生。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Laugh is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more infectious than any cough or yawn. When laughter is shared, it unites people together and increases happiness and understanding.(笑是会传染的。大笑的声音比任何咳嗽或打哈欠都更具传染性。当笑声被分享时，它把人们团结在一起，增加快乐和理解。)”，再结合常识“多米诺骨牌效应”常指一系列的连锁反应，即牵一发而动全身，由此可推测把笑声比喻成“多米诺骨牌效应”，意思笑能引起其他类似的积极变化，故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

Grandparents’ Day and the weeks just before it are the time when children all over the country start thinking about what to get their Grandmothers and Grandfathers as presents for Grandparents’ Day. Of course, giving presents is just one way of celebrating Grandparents’ Day, but how to give gifts requires planning. Choosing presents for Grandparents’ Day can be a very difficult task. Because Grandparents’ Day and holidays of its kind are meant to honor some of the most important people in our lives, the task of choosing presents that will be appropriate can be challenging. You don’t know what they like and what can show how much you love and care for them. Especially for those children who do not have much money, finding the suitable Grandparents’ Day present at the right price is a very difficult task. One solution to the difficulty is not to buy anything at all. Rather than buying a material item that is almost sure to be short of expressing the depth and sincerity (诚心诚意) of your feelings for your Grandmother or Grandfather, consider another kind of choice entirely. One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. Of course, there are also a lot more other ways to celebrate Grandparents’ Day than by just giving presents to your parents. 56. What does Grandparents’ Day mean to people?

The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”. As is known to us all, there is an increasing number of cars on roads. We can now drive to work, to go shopping, to visit friends and even to travel across the country. Though they bring us great convenience, cars also go hand in hand with air pollution as well as traffic jams. How to solve these problems is a great challenge to everyone. My suggestion is that we should ride bicycles. There is no doubt that riding bicycles can surely do us good. Firstly, riding bicycles means using cars less, which is a good way to decrease traffic jams. Secondly, riding bikes is environmentally friendly because it doesn’t cause air pollution and it is beneficial to our health. What’s more, bicycles are so handy and convenient that you can go wherever you like and do not need to look for a large parking lot. Since there are so many advantages, why not join us and ride bicycles?
