My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.
A few days ago, I was on a trip. To save money, I planned to stay in someone’s house. When arrived in the house owner’s city, it was raining hard. My host was very friendly. She invited me to take a walk around her city. But I didn’t have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wondered if she had any shoes for me, but finally, I said nothing.
It was really cold outside and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost feeling in my feet. That was all because I wouldn’t ask a simple thing like, “Could you find a pair of good shoes for me?”
From that day on, I tried hard to overcome(克服) the fear to ask. It took me a long time. I’ve found that people are always happy to offer help. What’s more, asking isn’t a sign of weakness. Asking gives you the chance to find the kindness of others.
Go to ask someone. The worst answer is just “no” while the best answer is an experience you’ll never forget.
8. What should the writer be in his parents’ eyes?
A. Talented. B. Clever. C. Independent. D. Careful.
9. In Paragraph 2, why did the writer say nothing in the end?
A. Because the host didn’t have any good shoes for him.
B. Because the writer didn’t want to cause trouble for the host.
C. Because the host told the writer not to borrow anything from her.
D. Because the writer thought it was not necessary.
10. What happened to the writer after the trip?
A. The writer learned a lesson from the trip. B. The writer bought himself some warm shoes.
C. The writer was still afraid to talk with others. D. The writer spent a long time helping poor people.
11. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Helping others is always a good thing. B. Don’t go outside on rainy and windy days.
C. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are in trouble. D. Always ask for help,never try to make it by yourself.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文作者用自己的亲身经历告诉我们,当我们有困难时,要勇于向其他人求助。其实人们总是会乐于向我们提供帮助,同时也给了我们发现善良的机会。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据“My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself.”可知,父母很少让作者寻求帮助,由此可推知在父母眼里作者是很独立的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据“I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.”可知作者最后什么都没说,是因为他不想给别人带来麻烦。故选B。

D
①We spend most of our time with friends who we like. Well, who would stay with a person one doesn’t like? What kind of people are welcomed by others, then?
②There are many attractive (有吸引力的) people around you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have.
③Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with a sad person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage (联系). If you are with a jolly person, you are more probably to be glad. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you.
④Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we experience failure (失败), sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to spend time with you.
⑤Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t lend a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too.
⑥It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character. So if you want to attract friends, I suggest you learn to develop these traits.

Mike, the host of “Discover Nature” program, is having an interview with Mr. Wilson, a famous food scientist on honey.
Mike: Good morning, dear friends. Today, we are happy to have the famous food scientist Mr. Wilson with us. Welcome!
Mr. Wilson: Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be part of this program.
Mike: It’s reported that scientists found pots of honey in Tutankhamen’s tomb (图坦卡蒙墓) in ancient Egypt and the honey was still sweet and eatable. That’s really amazing! ____16____ Mr. Wilson, could you explain it to us?
Mr. Wilson: Sure. There are three main reasons: Firstly, most bacteria (细菌) can’t grow in honey because it’s acidic (酸性的). The acid in honey kills any bacteria trying to grow in it.
Mike: That makes sense. What’s next?
Mr. Wilson: Secondly, honey is high in sugar. It is made of 80% sugar. ____17____
Mike: Got it! And what about the third one?
Mr. Wilson: ____18____ Bacteria need water to survive and grow, so it’s impossible for bacteria to survive in honey.
Mike: Amazing! Now, I’m curious why Tutankhamen liked honey.
Mr. Wilson: Ancient people loved honey. ____19____ Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, burns or skin diseases. Since bacteria didn’t easily grow in it, the honey could be used in a way similar to a bandage (绷带). It protected the skin while it healed.
Mike: Great insights! Thanks for sharing with us. That’s the end of Discover Nature.
A. Honey is low in water.
B. Why didn’t the honey go bad?
C. It was not easy for bees to make honey.
D. Sugar can last for a very long time without going bad.
E. It was not only delicious but also useful as medicine.
Do you like honey? Why or why not? (不超过15词)

【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A 19. E
20. No, I don’t. Because I don’t like sweet food.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇访谈。Mike和著名食品科学家Wilson先生讨论了蜂蜜为什么能够长期保存不变质,以及古代人如何使用蜂蜜。
【16题详解】
根据前文“It’s reported that scientists found pots of honey in Tutankhamen’s tomb in ancient Egypt and the honey was still sweet and eatable. That’s really amazing!”可知,此处表达Mike对蜂蜜为什么没有变质感到好奇。选项B“为什么蜂蜜没有变质?”符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Secondly, honey is high in sugar. It is made of 80% sugar.”可知,此处表达糖分对蜂蜜的作用,选项D“糖可以保存很长时间而不会变质。”符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Bacteria need water to survive and grow, so it’s impossible for bacteria to survive in honey.”可知,细菌需要水才能生存和繁殖,因此细菌无法在蜂蜜中存活因为蜂蜜含水量低,选项A“蜂蜜含水量低。”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, burns or skin diseases.”可知,该处是介绍为什么古人喜欢蜂蜜。选项E“它不仅美味可口,还可以入药。”符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】

①A few years ago my young sons, Sam, Jerry and Alex, joined in a bike competition in a town far from our home. As their father was busy, I drove them to the competition.
②We were quite new to the town and didn’t know anyone there. But soon after arriving, a friendly woman came to me. While waiting for the competition to end, we talked happily. Her name was Bev and she was there with her sons Jim and Carl. Unluckily, in the last race, my youngest son, Alex, had an accident. He cried and cried, so I ran to him. He broke his arm badly. Just before I decided to take Alex to hospital, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) face. It was Bev. Although we still hardly knew each other, she knew I was scared by the accident and was worried about having two other children to care for in an unfamiliar town.
③“You go with him to the hospital,” Bev said. “I’ll take the other two home with my boys. Here is my phone number. I live not far from the town hospital.”
④Bev is like an angel (天使). I will never forget her kindness in taking care of my two other children so that I could give my injured (受伤的) child the best care.
⑤Our friendship (友谊) started that day, and will last forever.
4. Who drove Sam, Jerry and Alex to the bike competition?
A. Their father. B. Their mother. C. Their aunt. D. Their uncle.

My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.
A few days ago I was on a trip. To save money, I planned to stay in someone’s house. When arrived in the house owner’s city, it was raining hard. My host was very friendly. She invited me to take a walk around her city. But I didn’t have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wondered if she had any shoes for me, but finally, I said nothing.
It was really cold outside and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost feeling in my feet. That was all because I wouldn’t ask a simple thing like, “Could you find a pair of good shoes for me?”
From that day on, I tried hard to overcome(克服) the fear to ask. It took me a long time. I’ve found that people are always happy to offer help. What’s more, asking isn’t a sign of weakness. Asking gives you the chance to find the kindness of others.
Go to ask someone. The worst answer is just “no” while the best answer is an experience you’ll never forget.
8. What should the writer be in his parents’ eyes?
A. Talented. B. Clever. C. Independent. D. Careful.
9. In Paragraph 2 why did the writer say nothing in the end?
A. Because the host didn’t have any good shoes for him.
B. Because the writer didn’t want to cause trouble for the host.
C. Because the host told the writer not to borrow anything from her.
D. Because the writer thought it was not necessary.
10. What happened to the writer after the trip?
A. The writer learned a lesson from the trip. B. The writer bought himself some warm shoes.
C. The writer was still afraid to talk with others. D. The writer spent a long time helping poor people.
11. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Helping others is always a good thing. B. Don’t go outside on rainy and windy days.
C. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are in trouble. D. Always ask for help,never try to make it by yourself.
D
①We spend most of our time with friends who we like. Well, who would stay with a person one doesn’t like? What kind of people are welcomed by others, then?
②There are many attractive (有吸引力的) people around you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have.
③Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with a sad person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage (联系). If you are with a jolly person, you are more probably to be glad. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you.
④Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we experience failure (失败), sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to spend time with you.
⑤Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t lend a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too.
⑥It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character. So if you want to attract friends, I suggest you learn to develop these traits.
12. What writing skill does the writer use in Paragraph One?
A. Telling a story to interest readers.
B. Asking questions to introduce the topic.
C. Showing what popular people are like.
D. Comparing two different kinds of friends.
13. Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1...)
A. B. C. D.
14. What does the underlined word “jolly” in Paragraph 3 probably means?
A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Upset.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How To Be An Attractive Person B. How To Introduce The Traits Of Oneself
C. How To Live A Happy Life D. How To Find A Real Friend

Mike, the host of “Discover Nature” program, is having an interview with Mr. Wilson, a famous food scientist on honey.
Mike: Good morning, dear friends. Today, we are happy to have the famous food scientist Mr. Wilson with us. Welcome!
Mr. Wilson: Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be part of this program.
Mike: It’s reported that scientists found pots of honey in Tutankhamen’s tomb (图坦卡蒙墓) in ancient Egypt and the honey was still sweet and eatable. That’s really amazing! ____16____ Mr. Wilson, could you explain it to us?
Mr. Wilson: Sure. There are three main reasons: Firstly, most bacteria (细菌) can’t grow in honey because it’s acidic (酸性的). The acid in honey kills any bacteria trying to grow in it.
Mike: That makes sense. What’s next?
Mr. Wilson: Secondly, honey is high in sugar. It is made of 80% sugar. ____17____
Mike: Got it! And what about the third one?
Mr. Wilson: ____18____ Bacteria need water to survive and grow, so it’s impossible for bacteria to survive in honey.
Mike: Amazing! Now, I’m curious why Tutankhamen liked honey.
Mr. Wilson: Ancient people loved honey. ____19____ Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, burns or skin diseases. Since bacteria didn’t easily grow in it, the honey could be used in a way similar to a bandage (绷带). It protected the skin while it healed.
Mike: Great insights! Thanks for sharing with us. That’s the end of Discover Nature.
A. Honey is low in water.
B. Why didn’t the honey go bad?
C. It was not easy for bees to make honey.
D. Sugar can last for a very long time without going bad.
E. It was not only delicious but also useful as medicine.
