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：选B　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：选D　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：选D　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：选A　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：选D　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：选C　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：选A　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：选B　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 them about taking care of crops. 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。 12．What can we know about the Torch Festival from the first paragraph? A．It has nothing to do with farming. B．Its celebrations usually last two days. C．It is a traditional festival of all China. D．It is a festival to show worship of fire. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“The festival came from worship of fire by ancestors.”可知，火把节是一个祭火的节日。 13．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Ancestors. B．Young people. C．Elders. D．Ethnic groups. 解析：选B　代词指代题。根据画线词所在句可知，对于一些少数民族来说，年长者与年轻人分享种植经验并教育他们如何照料庄稼是节日的传统。故代词them指的是前面的young people“年轻人”。 14．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．Why the festival is enjoyed. B．Where the festival is celebrated. C．How the festival is celebrated. D．What torches are used for the festival. 解析：选C　段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，本段主要讲述了在火把节期间的庆祝活动，也就是如何庆祝这个节日。 15．Which is a way that Lisu people in Sichuan celebrate the festival according to the text? A．Holding torch parades. B．Tying fruits to torches with strings. C．Struggling for fruits for good luck. D．Using torches as hurdles for a horse race. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“For the Lisu people in Sichuan, the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades.”可知，举行火把游行是四川傈僳族人庆祝节日的一种方式。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Father's Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time. 16 It was inspired by the actions of an American man named William Smart. William had a happy family but his wife died giving birth to their sixth child. 17 No doubt it was unusual back in those days.His daughter, Sonora Dodd, realised when she was an adult what her father had done for his children.It was one day in the early 1900s, and she was listening to a lecture talking about the importance of Mother's Day. 18 And so the tradition was born.It was set on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary (周年纪念) of Sonora's father's death.Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s.Father's Day is never quite such the big commercial event that Mother's Day is. 19 Well, most people would buy their fathers a card.The card would probably have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. 20 Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks.As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest — make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really appreciated. A．Some people do buy presents as well. B．What do British people do for Father's Day? C．But the origins of the celebration are American. D．“World's Greatest Dad” will be written on them. E．He raised six children alone without remarrying. F．Father's Day means big business for the greeting card industry. G．Then she thought there should also be a Father's Day celebration. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父亲节以及该节日的起源。 16．选C　空后面一句提到：它的灵感来自一个名叫William Smart的美国人的行为。由此可知，父亲节起源于美国人William Smart的行为。故C项“但该节日的庆祝活动起源于美国”衔接下文，符合语境。 17．选E　空前面一句提到： William有一个幸福的家庭，但他的妻子在生第六个孩子时去世了。故E项“他没有再婚，独自抚养了六个孩子”承接上文，符合语境。 18．选G　空前面两句提到：他的女儿Sonora Dodd长大后意识到父亲为孩子们做了什么。那是20世纪初的一天，她正在听一个关于母亲节重要性的演讲。故G项“然后她想也应该庆祝父亲节”承接上文，符合语境。 19．选B　空处位于段首，总领全段。本段主要是在讲述父亲节所做的事。故B项“英国人在父亲节做什么呢？”引出下文，符合语境。 20．选A　空后面一句提到：给爸爸的流行礼物可能是领带、巧克力或袜子。故A项“一些人也买礼物”衔接下文，符合语境。 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2016, Jordyn was about to turn eight years old.Her mom 21 a new way to celebrate her birthday.“What would you think of 22 your gifts to a children's hospital？” her mom asked.

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.

It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school.I joined the theater group and she was a director then.At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image (形象) in order to make her actors, and actresses take her seriously.And then during practice I got a chance to know her better.In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person.Soon we became good friends. I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything.So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will like.This year I want something different and special but I don't know what to give.One day I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where we can buy all kinds of gifts.

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. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新研究表明，人类的嗅觉灵敏，可以迅速辨别气味，这挑战了过去人们认为嗅觉迟钝的观念。 8．How did the researchers carry out their study?

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? A．It's the origin of the Grapefruit 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：选C　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：选B　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. D．The mice taking prescription drugs. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第六段内容和倒数第二段第一句可知，葡萄柚汁对减肥产生效果是在摄入高脂肪的情况下。 15．What's the best title of the text? A．Nutrition of Grapefruit B．Experiment on Grapefruit C．Grapefruit Makes a Hit D．Grapefruit Helps Keep Fit 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文，根据第一段中的“Dieters have long sworn that grapefruit helps them lose weight.”及下文的研究可知，文章主题是通过介绍研究结果，说明葡萄柚具有减肥功效。故D项“葡萄柚有助于保持健康”作文章标题最佳。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 As a student starting your senior high school year, there is no doubt that you may feel both excited and anxious.How do you make a great impression on the first day of school? Here are some simple ways that may help you. Try to be friendly and outgoing to make new friends, and show your teachers you're prepared for the school year. 16 If you aren't given a school supply list, bring a notebook and pencils on the first day so you're prepared. Get a full night's rest before the first day of school. If you show up tired, you're not going to have the energy to perform well. 17 For example, if you know you need to wake up at 7：00 a．m., try to be in bed by 10：30 or 11：00 p．m. 18 If you're only in one classroom for the whole day, get to school in the morning a few minutes early so you have to find out where your class is and what to do with your things. If you go to multiple classrooms throughout the day, try to get to each one on time to make a good impression on your teacher. Smile often. 19 The first day of school is also a great chance to reach out to new people you may not know, so introduce yourself to others with a big smile and possibly you will make a new friend. The first day of school sets the tone (定调子) for the rest of the year, so it's also important to have learning goals and make plans for your studies. 20 Listen carefully when your teacher speaks, and don't forget to take notes in class. A．Set your alarm clock so that you wake up on time. B．Get to school early to arrive at your classes on time. C．It is important to make a good impression on the first day of school. D．When you smile, people will feel more comfortable and want to talk to you. E．Write down any assignments (作业) you have and complete your homework on time.
