Once I read about a country where if you go to a house and praise some small things, the owners feel it a must to offer it to you as a gift.I don't remember the name of the country; the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother's home.
Knowing Mama, I have always been careful with my praise, but that doesn't stop her.She can always sense admiration beyond words.I was just staring at that photo of Mount Hood because I have a similar one in my bedroom. Mama would nod, “Of course.You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set.If a mother doesn't understand, who does?”
Recently I have been worrying for weeks about a Mother's Day gift for Mama, as there is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will quickly come back to the giver.If I buy her something wearable, she immediately finds it fits me perfectly.If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root in a glass of water.If I give her some food, she wants me to stay for lunch and eat it.
My wise Papa, long ago stopped trying to shop for her.Instead, on every important occasion he writes a short poem in which he tells of their meeting, wedding, and later marriage life.After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that his poetic inspiration has dried up, but Mama doesn't complain.She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, “It doesn't have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it's from the heart.”
This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama.I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother's Day” and tell her there's nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为母亲挑选母亲节礼物的经历。作者决定送给母亲一篇自己写的文章作为礼物,文章虽不押韵,但发自内心,以此表达对母亲的爱和祝福。
4.Why does the author mention the country in paragraph 1?
A.To explain a rule. B.To lead in the topic.
C.To present a fact. D.To prove her point.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,作者通过一个关于赞扬与赠送礼物的国家习俗来引出自己的母亲也有类似的习惯,从而自然过渡到文章的主题——关于给母亲送礼物的故事。因此,目的是引出文章主题。
5.Why is the author always careful with her praise?
A.She doesn't like any small things.
B.Mama will be too proud of herself.
C.She doesn't want Mama to know real her.
D.Mama will give her whatever she praises.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was just staring at that photo of Mount Hood because I have a similar one in my bedroom. Mama would nod, ‘Of course.You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set.If a mother doesn't understand, who does?’”可知,作者知道如果她对某样东西表示赞美,母亲很可能会将它作为礼物送给她。因此,为了避免这种情况,她总是小心地赞美。
6.What makes it difficult to buy a gift for Mama?
A.Mama's refusal of any gifts.
B.Mama's misunderstanding of givers.
C.Mama's attitude to festivals.
D.Mama's practice of giving back.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“Recently I have been worrying for weeks about a Mother's Day gift for Mama, as there is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will quickly come back to the giver.”可知,作者担心给母亲的礼物会很快回到送礼人手中,因为母亲总是以各种方式回馈礼物,这说明了给妈妈买礼物的困难所在。
7.What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A.Mama values sincere love over gift itself.
B.Poems and articles are Mama's favorite gifts.
C.Papa writes poems as gifts to save money.
D.Papa and I could never find a good enough gift for Mama.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据最后两段可知,作者提到父亲写诗作为礼物,并且母亲并不在意诗是否押韵,只在乎它是否发自内心。接着,作者决定给母亲写一篇不押韵但发自内心的杂志文章作为礼物。这些描述都暗示了母亲更看重的是真诚的爱而非礼物本身。
C
Every festival has its own meaning.Labour Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work.But somehow it now seems that while celebrating all festivals we just care about one thing — shopping.And that can be a big problem.
“In a way, over-consumption (过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems,” Kalle Lasn once said.Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event.It's held on the day, which is known as Black Friday — a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.
You can see something strange here.
Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up over 30 years ago, we seem to need it now more than ever.It's just as Lasn said, all the different kinds of dilemmas (困境) in our lives today — bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean — seem to be the same cause: over-consumption.
The latest example is the Singles' Day shopping craze (狂热) of November 11, which saw a new sales record.But as Nie Li, an organizer at Greenpeace, said, “Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste.” And it was reported that last year the Singles' Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, including plastic and cardboard.The Collins dictionary also named “single-use” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there're too many things we throw away after only using them once.
So, Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year, but it's not just to remind us about a break from shopping on that day, but to change our lifestyle completely, focusing on fun “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Buy Nothing Day以及该节日的意义:不要把钱浪费在无用的东西上。
8.What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A.To express people's love for all festivals.
B.To talk about the meaning of the festivals.
C.To appreciate the value of hard work.
D.To introduce the topic of the text.
√
解析:推理判断题。本段先举例说明每个节日都有它自己的意义,又说现在每个节日似乎都和购物有关,而购物可能会造成大问题,从而引出主题及下文内容。故第一段的作用是引出文章主题。
9.Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day?
A.To help people save money.
B.To cut the cost for daily life.
C.To prevent over-consumption.
D.To set up a new sales record.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,Lasn认为过度消费是所有环境问题的根源,他设立Buy Nothing Day旨在与不健康的消费习惯作斗争。由此可见,Lasn设立此节日是防止过度消费。
10.What's Nie Li's attitude towards the shopping craze?
A.Opposed. B.Supportive.
C.Unknown. D.Neutral.
√
解析:观点态度题。根据第五段中的“Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste.”可知,Nie Li认为创纪录的过度消费意味着创纪录的浪费,即他对购物狂潮持反对态度。
11.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.A New Lifestyle
B.Buy Nothing Day
C.A Change in People's Life
D.Festivals Around the World
√
解析:标题归纳题。文章内容围绕Buy Nothing Day展开,并介绍节日的意义所在,故用Buy Nothing Day作题目最合适。
D
The Torch Festival (火把节) is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as the Yi, Bai, Hani, Lisu, and Lahu, etc.It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June, with three days of celebrations.The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors.For some ethnic groups, it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate _____ about taking care of crops.
them
During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings.When the strings are broken after the torches are lit, people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan, the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades.Big torches are carried by teams of people, which is like a fire dragon.If different teams meet, it's a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火把节是中国西南地区一些少数民族的传统节日,以及在节日期间不同民族的庆祝活动。

A.It has nothing to do with farming.

14.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family's house was close to a road.And on the far end of the road stood a big tree.My parents, together with me, often crossed the road to the big tree to have fun with our neighbors.But I wasn't allowed to cross the road to go there by myself for my safety.
One day, for some reason, the big tree would be cut down.It was just before dinner time.A large crowd of neighbors gathered at the far end of the road to watch the falling of this tree.I watched from my house as the tree, tied with ropes, was lowered down.Soon, the huge tree fell safely to the ground with a big sound.But the kids and grown-ups didn't leave.They moved closer to stay around this wonderful old tree.
Like them, I wanted to touch the tree with my hands and say good-bye.But I was only five years old and wasn't allowed to cross the busy road alone.But as I became sadder when watching the tree nearly disappear, I thought to myself, “What's the worst thing that could happen?” I didn't see any cars coming, so I ran across the road to say good-bye to the fallen tree.
After standing around and talking with some of the neighbors, I realized that I had stayed there too long.“I am late for dinner, and I'm in trouble.” I told myself.Without even thinking, and without seeing if there were any cars coming, I dashed out between two parked cars and raced toward the other side of the road.
I didn't see a car rushing forward from the other end of the road.And the driver didn't expect I'd cross the road at that moment.When spotting me, he tried to stop his car, whose tires produced loud and unpleasant noises.But it was too late.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Before knowing what had happened, I was struck down.__________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the hospital, it was discovered that luckily I was not seriously injured.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Before knowing what had happened, I was struck down.At the moment I was knocked down, I let out an instinctive scream.My neighbors heard me screaming, and people ran around me.My parents came, too, very worried about me, but they didn't dare to move me.When the driver got out of the car, he kept apologizing to me.I lay weak on the ground and just wanted to rest, so I said nothing.Someone called the police and an ambulance came and rushed me to the hospital.
At the hospital, it was discovered that luckily I was not seriously injured.During the days when I was in hospital, my parents stayed with me every day.My kindergarten classmates often came to play games with me.The driver who knocked me down sent me an apology card, flowers and my favorite snack.The driver apologized to me and asked me to forgive him.I told the driver it was my fault, too.The driver thanked me for forgiving him.

In a single in-breath, human sense of smell can recognize the difference between odors (气味) quickly.Its level of sensitivity is equal to color vision, according to a new study.This doesn't agree with the widely held belief that olfaction (嗅觉) is slow.
The researchers, from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ohio State University, developed a device that included two main parts.One allows odors to flow in one direction and the other is capable of delivering odors to human nose with an accuracy of 18 milliseconds.The researchers asked 229 adults in China to wear this device and smell different odor mixtures.Two odors are presented one after another within a single in-breath.
They found that participants could identify different odor orders when the two odors were only 60 milliseconds apart, which challenged the timing of the previous research, around 1,200 milliseconds.They noted that they used only four odors and that it would be beneficial to test a wider variety to determine whether the human olfaction is more sensitive to certain odor or mixture.
“This study sheds important light on the puzzling system that supports human odor recognition,” Dr.Robert Datta wrote, a professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.The study of human olfaction has historically fallen behind that of vision and hearing, because as humans, we think of ourselves as visual creatures that largely use speech to communicate.It helps fill a key gap in our understanding of how we as humans smell.

Dieters have long sworn that grapefruit helps them lose weight. The Grapefruit Diet, also called the Hollywood Diet, dates back to the 1930s and has a host of celebrity fans. It involves having grapefruit or grapefruit juice with every meal while cutting back on calories.
Now, scientists are beginning to believe them.
A study has found that drinking grapefruit juice when eating fatty food lowers the amount of weight put on by up to a fifth.
The research also suggested that grapefruit could be as good as prescription drugs at keeping blood sugar levels under control — a key part of managing diabetes.
The experiments were conducted on mice — but researchers say the results are true for humans. Professor Joseph Napoli, of the University of California, Berkeley, said, “We see all sorts of tricks about nutrition. But these results, based on controlled experiments, make it necessary to study the potential health-promoting properties of grapefruit juice further.”
The researchers found that when the mice were fed fatty food for three months, those given grapefruit juice to drink gained up to 18 percent less weight than those given water.
They also had lower blood sugar and insulin (胰岛素) levels — despite eating the same number of calories and doing the same amount of exercise as the mice who drank water. In fact, grapefruit juice was as good at controlling insulin as the widely used diabetes drugs, the journal PLOS ONE reports.
However, the fruit juice only had an effect on weight when the animals ate fatty food.The researchers said they did not know how grapefruit stops the pounds from piling on.
Spokesman Mariette Abrahams, a dietician, said until then it is too early for people to try grapefruit diets. “Grapefruit should be part of a healthy balanced diet, but it shouldn't be the focus of the diet,” she said.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对研究结果的介绍,说明葡萄柚具有减肥功效。
12.What can be known about the Hollywood Diet?

B.It was more popular in the 1930s than any time.
C.It may appeal to fat people.
D.Scientists may think it is nonsense.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Dieters have long sworn that grapefruit helps them lose weight.”可知,Hollywood Diet能帮助人们减肥,所以可推断,它能吸引肥胖的人。
13.What did the experiments on mice show?
A.They should have been conducted on humans.
B.The results apply to humans too.
C.Grapefruit could cure diabetes.
D.Mice prefer grapefruit juice to water.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The experiments were conducted on mice — but researchers say the results are true for humans.”可知,在老鼠身上做的实验结果也适用于人类。
14.In which case will grapefruit juice make a difference to weight loss?
A.The mice with high blood sugar.
B.The mice doing a lot of exercise.
C.The mice on a fatty diet.

17.选A 由下文可知,如果你知道你需要在早上7点起床,试着在晚上10点半或11点上床睡觉。此处在讲述睡觉和起床的问题,故A项“把你的闹钟调好以便你准时起床”衔接下文,符合语境。
18.选B 根据下文的“a few minutes early”及“get to each one on time”可知,B项“早点去学校以便准时上课”能概括本段内容。
19.选D 由上文可知,要经常微笑。D项“当你微笑时,人们会觉得更舒服,想和你交谈”符合本段主旨,其中“smile”是关键词。
20.选E 由上文可知,开学第一天会为这一年余下的日子定下基调,所以制订学习目标和学习计划也很重要。本段在讲述与学习有关的事情,故E项“写下你的作业任务并按时完成作业”符合语境。
