On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soon faded (消退) when the man didn’t look at her or say “Hi” back. As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “May be he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident. A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath. As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged (搭理) her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.” From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on identifying (识别) various plants and trees.

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree？ To solve this problem, 26 .They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers. However, according to a scientific research, part of the reason 27 is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）.So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't know it. All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, 28 . Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, 29 . And scientists write down their feelings about food taste. Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought.

Do you agree？“但是，普遍的是他们感觉食物口味变坏了，你同意吗？”以及They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers“他们想要这么做因为他们不想失去顾客”可知，空处表示“航空公司努力改善他们的食物”。故选F。 27．根据However, according to a scientific research, part of the reason“然而，根据科学研究，部分理由是”以及at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground“在高海拔，我们不能像在地面那样品尝食物”可知，空处表示“为什么飞机上的食物尝起来很糟糕”可知，故选B。 28．根据All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food“所有的这些帮助解释为什么飞机上的食物尝起来很糟糕。他们也帮助解释了为什么航空公司选择提供给乘客咸的和辛辣的食物”可知，飞机上的食物不好，航空公司提供咸的和辛辣的食物，如果不这么做的话食物就会无味，故选D。 29．根据Now there are many researches on this“现在在这上面有许多试验”以及And scientists write down their feelings about food taste“科学家写出他们对食物的感觉”可知，their代指some volunteers，即“一些志愿者被要求躺在比他们的头高的地方数周”。故选E。 30．根据Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully“因为他们不能成功地处理特别的环境”可知，根据选项可知，这种特别的环境指的是气压，空处应填“例如气压的改变”，故选A。 三、短文填空 用方框内所给单词的适当形式填空。 fly  father  we  kite  high  drop  buy  but  why  a  keep  of A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival.

It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well. It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts. There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them. World Smile Day encourages you to do something to bring smiles into the world. If we do this, we can make the world a better place. 16．How does the writer introduce the topic at the beginning of the passage? A．By listing a fact. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question.

Do you agree？ To solve this problem, 26 .They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers. However, according to a scientific research, part of the reason 27 is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）.So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't know it. All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, 28 . Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, 29 .

On this day, people would like to drink chrysanthemum (菊花) wine. The Chinese word for wine is Jiu, a similar pronunciation of the Chinese word for “long”, which means “forever”. Another special food for this festival is chrysanthemum cakes. The Chinese word for cake is Gao, a similar pronunciation of the Chinese word “high”, showing great progress at work and in daily life. It is hard to say when these customs began. But there are many stories about the festival. As was recorded in a historical book of the sixth century, there lived a man named Huan Jing. He was learning the magic arts from Fei Changfang. One day, the two people were climbing a mountain. Fei Changfang suddenly stopped and looked very upset. He told Huan Jing, “On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, a disaster will come to your hometown. You must go home at once. Remember to make a red bag for each of your family members. Then you must all tie your bags to your arms, leave home quickly and climb to the top of a mountain. Most importantly, you must all drink some chrysanthemum wine. Only by doing so can your family members be safe.” On hearing this, Huan Jing rushed home and asked his family to do as his teacher said. The whole family climbed a nearby mountain and did not return until the evening. When they got back home, they found all their animals dead, including chickens, sheep, dogs and even the ox. Since then, climbing a mountain and drinking chrysanthemum wine became the traditional activities of the Double Ninth Festival. 阅读短文，回答问题。 41．What food and drinks do the Chinese people enjoy on the Double Ninth Festival? 42．What special meaning does the chrysanthemum cake have? 43．When did the story in the passage happen? 44．What did Fei Changfang tell Huan Jing to do on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month? 45．What did the family find when they returned? 第6页，共7页 第5页，共7页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
