We went shopping and spent a lot of money. What we liked most was going to the theater. We don’t have a lot of chances to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people said English food was very bad, but we didn’t think so. It was true that most of the restaurants were French, Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals. In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already decided to go there again next year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. I’m sure we will need them sooner or later.

What a day! That morning. I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel embarrassed or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and that there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning.
My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended (推荐) that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t give up. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
24. How did Adam feel about his first day of senior high school compared to his former expectation?
A. He felt more lonely than expected. B. He was less embarrassed than he thought.
C. He was frightened by the new environment. D. He refused to talk to anyone.
25. Why did Adam choose advanced literature?
A. It was the easiest course available. B. His friends from junior high recommended it.
C. His adviser forced him to take it. D. He enjoyed English and performed well in it.
26. What did Adam do after failing to join the football team?
A. He gave up playing sports forever.
B. He argued with the coach for unfair treatment.
C. He joined a volunteer club to help others.
D. He practiced alone to improve for next year.
27. What is Adam’s attitude toward his future studies in senior high school?
A. He is worried but determined to succeed. B. He believes it will be very easy.
C. He plans to stop schooling due to difficulties. D. He doesn’t care about his grades.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了高一新生Adam的高中初体验,包括选课、选择课外活动的经历,以及他对高中生活的担忧与期待。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel embarrassed or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school.(那天早上,我担心没人会和我说话。但我错了。在高中的第一天,我一点也不觉得尴尬或害怕。)”可知,Adam原本担心没人交流、会感到尴尬,但实际情况并非如此,他没有想象中那么尴尬。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.(我的顾问建议我报名高级文学课程,因为我喜欢英语而且擅长英语。)”可知,Adam选择高级文学课程的原因是他热爱英语且成绩优异。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t give up. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead.(我试图加入学校足球队,但教练告诉我我踢得不够好。显然,我很不开心,但我不会放弃。我会自己想办法提高,以便明年能加入球队。相反,我加入了一个志愿者俱乐部。)”可知,Adam没能加入足球队后,加入了志愿者俱乐部,符合题意。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.(我有点担心在高级课程中跟上其他同学的步伐,而且要适应所有的作业也会相当困难。尽管如此,我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是有趣的,但我会为大学或未来的任何事情做好充分准备。)”可知,Adam对高中学习既感到担忧,又有努力准备、争取成功的决心。故选A项。
C
Bogre Udell, who speaks four languages, met Federico Andrade, who speaks five, at the Parsons New School in New York City. In 2014, they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to reach 1,000 in the coming years.
“When humans lose a language, we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,”said Bogre Udell. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.
Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood, share their stories, and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language, and he also recorded it. However, priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly. Not long ago, one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.
A lack of protection and globalization are responsible for diminishing language diversity. For much of the 20th century, governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived. However, most languages die today because of other factors, climate change and urbanization contribute (是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages.
28. What do Bogre Udell and Federico Andrade want to do together?
A Offer language courses to people. B. Record all the languages in the world.
C. Find out the reasons for language loss. D. Test people’s language levels.
29. What does the author point out in Paragraph 2?
A. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.
B. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.
C. Language loss is becoming very serious.
D. Few people are worried about language loss.
30. How do volunteers help protect languages?
A. By improving the living conditions of native speakers.
B. By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.
C. By writing down native speakers’ stories.
D. By learning languages from native speakers.
31. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Decreasing. B. Contacting. C. Creating. D. Encouraging.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了Bogre Udell和Federico Andrade为保护语言多样性所做的努力,以及语言消失的现状、原因等。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2014, they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to reach 1,000 in the coming years.(2014年,他们启动了一个项目,首次对世界上的每一种语言进行公开记录。他们已经记录了350多种语言,并计划在未来几年内达到1000种。)”可知,Bogre Udell和Federico Andrade想一起记录世界上所有的语言。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.(1950年至2010年间,230种语言消失了。如今,世界上三分之一的语言只剩下不到1000名使用者。每两周就有一种语言随着最后一位使用者而消失,据说到下个世纪,50%到90%的语言将会消失。)”可知,作者在第二段中指出了语言消失正变得非常严重。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages.(Wikitongues已经向40个国家的志愿者发出请求,让他们拍摄以母语为母语的人用过去、现在和将来时态谈论他们的母语的视频。)”可知,志愿者通过拍摄以母语为母语的人用他们的语言交谈的视频来帮助保护语言。故选B。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“For much of the 20th century, governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived. However, most languages die today because of other factors, climate change and urbanization contribute (是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages.(20世纪的大部分时间里,世界各国政府曾强制部分当地人使用官方语言。自欧洲定居者抵达澳大利亚以来,已有超过100种语言消失。但如今,大多数语言的消亡源于其他因素,气候变化和城市化是导致语言消失的重要原因。)”可知,缺乏保护与全球化是导致语言多样性减少的原因。由此可知,diminishing意为“减少”。故选A。
D
Australian teenagers are missing important, basic kitchen skills and it’s having a negative influence on their health. It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.
A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42% can’t boil noodles; 83.9% don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.
Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do better when it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.
The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food. “I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.
32. What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers?
A. They are poor at cooking. B. They like convenience meals.
C. They are interested in cooking. D. They eat unhealthy food.
33. What did Miriam Raleigh try to express?
A. The way to reduce obesity in young people.
B. The need to improve everyone’s cooking skills.
C. Her worry about the unhealthy lifestyle.
D. Her concern in young parents’ education.
34. What does Alexander think of the Kitchen Garden program?
A. Disappointing. B. Unsuccessful. C. Useless. D. Hopeful.
35. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To teach teenagers cooking. B. To improve school education.
C. To promote a cooking program. D. To care about teenagers’ health.

【答案】36. B 37. G 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何让你的朋友振作起来的一些窍门。
【36题详解】
空格处是本段主题句,根据空后的“If your friend is angry about a situation at work, help her see the positive side of things. Hear out her problem before reacting (回应). But try to help her asking questions such as, “What things can you do to make the situation better?” or “What’s been happening at work lately that’s been good?”(如果你的朋友对工作中的某件事很生气,帮助她看到事情积极的一面。在做出反应之前先听听她的问题。但试着帮助她问一些问题,比如,“你能做些什么来改善情况?”或者“最近工作上发生了什么好事?”)”可知,本段主要说明的是帮助朋友看到事情积极的一面,B选项“Help her to see the positive side(帮助她看到积极的一面)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为主题句。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据第三段的主题句“Send her a card or postcard.(给她寄张卡片或明信片。)”与空前一句“Drop a note in the mail to her.(给她寄封信。)”判断,本段建议给朋友写封邮件或者寄张明信片,因此推断空格处要说她寄卡片相关的内容,G项“If you include one with a funny card, that’s better(如果你附上一张有趣的卡片,那就更好了)”,符合语境,承接上文,呼应主题。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据该空后的“as they can help her build confidence and self-esteem(因为它们可以帮助她建立自信和自尊)”判断,空格处要说到一些帮助她建立自信和自尊的事情,E项“Don’t be afraid to tell your friend these things(不要害怕告诉你的朋友这些事)”提到要告诉朋友一些事情,其中的“these things”指代前面提到的有关“they are smart, strong, and beautiful”的事情,而告诉朋友这些事情能帮助她建立自信和自尊,与下文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据主题句Try out new things together.(一起尝试新事物)和空后的“If you want your friends to be happy, encourage them to try new things with you.(如果你想让你的朋友开心,鼓励他们和你一起尝试新事物。)”判断,本段建议和朋友一起尝试新事物,因此空格处应该提到新事物,D项“In turn, discover new things you love(反过来,发现你喜欢的新事物)”提到要发现新事物,其中的“new things”和空后的“new things”相一致,因此D选项符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据空前的主题句“Bring her one of her favorite treats.(给她带一个她最喜欢的食物。)”与空后一句“Maybe she can’t live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a special love for black forest cake.(也许她离不开下午的咖啡,也许她对黑森林蛋糕情有独钟。)”判断,本段建议给朋友带一些她最喜欢的美食,故C项“You know what your friend likes(你知道你朋友喜欢什么)”说到了你知道朋友喜欢什么,承上启下,呼应主题,引出下文朋友可能喜欢的食物。故选C。

第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
English has several chicken ___56___ (expression) that describe human ___57___ (behave). For example, if you are an early riser, we might say you wake up with the chickens. If you are ___58___ (frighten) of something, you might be called a chicken. And if you run around in a crazy way — or just very busy — you ___59___ (say) to be running around like a chicken with its head ___60___ (cut) off.
But today we are going to explore ___61___ expression: “Your chickens have come home to roost.” with a little more meaning. For a chicken, to roost means to settle down for rest or sleep. But for us, the expression is not at all restful. When our chickens come home to roost it means that our past mistakes or wrongdoings have come back to cause us problems, ___62___ happened with a man named Alex. He was very good ___63___ one thing — lying. He ___64___ (lie) to people at work, to every woman he met, to his neighbors and even to his family. Then one day, he got into serious trouble with the police. He was accused of ____65____ (steal) from his workplace. And this time, no one came to help. After years of lying to people, his chickens had finally come home to roost. He was on his own.
【答案】56. expressions
57. behavior
58. frightened
59. are said
60. cut 61. an
62. which 63. at
64. lied 65. stealing
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语中几个以“鸡(chicken)”为喻体的习语,并重点解析了“自食恶果(Your chickens have come home to roost)”的含义。
【56题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:英语中有几个与“鸡(chicken)”有关的表达,用来描述人类行为。空处作has的宾语,空前有several“若干”修饰,需用可数名词expression“表达”的复数形式。故填expressions。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处作describe的宾语,被human修饰,名词behavior符合题意,意为“行为”,是不可数名词。故填behavior。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如果你对某事感到害怕,你可能会被称为“胆小鬼(chicken)”。空处作表语,描述主语的心理感受,应用-ed结尾的形容词frightened,意为“害怕的”。故填frightened。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:如果你疯狂地四处奔波——或者只是很忙——人们会说你像只无头苍蝇一样跑来跑去。空处作句子的谓语,此处在描述通常性的事实,时态应用一般现在时,say“说”和主语you之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是you,be动词应用are。故填are said。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处用了with的复合结构,空处作宾语补足语,cut off“切断”和its head逻辑上是被动关系,且“切断”的行为已完成,因此用cut过去分词形式。故填cut。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但今天我们要探讨一个更有深意的表达:“自食恶果”。空处表示泛指,意为“一个更有深意的表达”,应用不定冠词,且expression的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:当我们“自食恶果”时,这意味着我们过去的错误或恶行终于回来困扰我们了,这是一个叫Alex的男人的遭遇。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句,从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:他擅长一件事——撒谎。结合空后的“one thing”可知,固定搭配be good at“擅长……”符合题意。故填at。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:他对同事撒谎,对遇到的每个女性撒谎,对邻居甚至家人撒谎。空处作句子的谓语,此处在叙述发生在Alex身上的事,结合后文met可知事情发生在过去,时态应用一般过去时,因此用lie“说谎”的过去式lied。故填lied。
65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他被指控从工作场所盗窃。短语be accused of doing意为“被指控做某事”,空处应用steal“偷窃,盗窃”的动名词形式,作宾语。故填stealing。

67. 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。
Most of you have probably felt this before — you wait a long time for something, but when it gets close, you’re afraid of what’s coming. That’s exactly how I felt before my first day of senior high school. I worked hard to pass the tests and had an interview with the headmaster to get into this famous school. When it was finally time to start, I couldn’t sleep the night before because I was so nervous about how I would look in front of everyone.
It was Monday morning. I was too excited to sleep the night before, so I arrived at school half an hour early. I walked nervously through the hallway. After about 15 minutes, the hallway was packed with students. The teachers seemed too busy to notice me. I knew which room I needed to go to and had already checked that it was open, but I was hesitant (犹豫不决的) to go in and stood alone. The students moved around me as if I wasn’t there, and I felt disappointed and lonely.
Suddenly, a well-dressed boy got close to me. He introduced himself as Thompson and asked if I was lost and if he could help me with anything. I realized how kind he was, and he was exactly who I had wished for a minute before, but I was too nervous to be friendly. Instead of accepting his help and making friends with him, I told him to mind his own business and that I was old enough to find my class without anyone’s help.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Luckily, the boy smiled at me and went away without getting angry.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Unexpectedly, Thompson walked into the same classroom.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Luckily, the boy smiled at me and went away without getting angry. I felt a wave of shame wash over me. I realized my response had been uncalled for, especially from someone who was trying to help. As I stood there, I wished I could take my words back. The bell rang, signaling the start of the first period, and I reluctantly walked into my classroom, still feeling embarrassed about my earlier reaction.
Unexpectedly, Thompson walked into the same classroom. My heart sank, and I hoped he wouldn’t recognize me as the rude boy from the hallway. But to my surprise, he walked over and sat down next to me, flashing a friendly smile. I took a deep breath and decided to change my approach. “Hey, I’m sorry about earlier. I was really nervous,” I said, trying to sound sincere. “No worries! It’s a big day for all of us. I was nervous too,” he replied. As the class progressed, I felt the weight of my earlier anxiety lift. Thompson ended up being a great friend, and that first day, which had started so painfully, turned into a memorable experience filled with laughter and new beginnings.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在高中第一天时很紧张,当天去教室时迷了路。一位好心的男孩想要帮助却被作者粗鲁地拒绝了。后来,作者发现原来想要提供帮助的男孩就是他的同班同学。最后作者向那位男孩道了歉并且明白了不应该让情绪紧张和焦虑阻碍自己与人开诚布公、愉快地交流。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是,那个男孩对我笑了笑,没有生气地走开了。”可知,第一段可描写作者在男孩离开后的内心感受。

2.续写线索:汤普森离开——作者感到羞耻——走近教室——和汤普森见面以及道歉——成为好朋友——感悟

What a day! That morning. I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel embarrassed or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and that there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning.
My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended (推荐) that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t give up. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
24. How did Adam feel about his first day of senior high school compared to his former expectation?
A. He felt more lonely than expected. B. He was less embarrassed than he thought.
C. He was frightened by the new environment. D. He refused to talk to anyone.
25. Why did Adam choose advanced literature?
A. It was the easiest course available. B. His friends from junior high recommended it.
C. His adviser forced him to take it. D. He enjoyed English and performed well in it.
26. What did Adam do after failing to join the football team?
A. He gave up playing sports forever.
B. He argued with the coach for unfair treatment.
C. He joined a volunteer club to help others.
D. He practiced alone to improve for next year.
27. What is Adam’s attitude toward his future studies in senior high school?
A. He is worried but determined to succeed. B. He believes it will be very easy.
C. He plans to stop schooling due to difficulties. D. He doesn’t care about his grades.
C
Bogre Udell, who speaks four languages, met Federico Andrade, who speaks five, at the Parsons New School in New York City. In 2014, they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to reach 1,000 in the coming years.
“When humans lose a language, we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,”said Bogre Udell. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.
Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood, share their stories, and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language, and he also recorded it. However, priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly. Not long ago, one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.
A lack of protection and globalization are responsible for diminishing language diversity. For much of the 20th century, governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived. However, most languages die today because of other factors, climate change and urbanization contribute (是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages.
28. What do Bogre Udell and Federico Andrade want to do together?
A. Offer language courses to people. B. Record all the languages in the world.
C. Find out the reasons for language loss. D. Test people’s language levels.
29. What does the author point out in Paragraph 2?
A. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.
B. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.
C. Language loss is becoming very serious.
D. Few people are worried about language loss.
30. How do volunteers help protect languages?
A. By improving the living conditions of native speakers.
B By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.
C. By writing down native speakers’ stories.
D. By learning languages from native speakers.
31. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Decreasing. B. Contacting. C. Creating. D. Encouraging.
D
Australian teenagers are missing important, basic kitchen skills and it’s having a negative influence on their health. It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.
A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42% can’t boil noodles; 83.9% don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.
Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do better when it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Miriam Raleigh an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.
The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food. “I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.
32. What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers?
A. They are poor at cooking. B. They like convenience meals.
C. They are interested in cooking. D. They eat unhealthy food.
33. What did Miriam Raleigh try to express?
A. The way to reduce obesity in young people.
B. The need to improve everyone’s cooking skills.
C. Her worry about the unhealthy lifestyle.
D. Her concern in young parents’ education.
34 What does Alexander think of the Kitchen Garden program?
A. Disappointing. B. Unsuccessful. C. Useless. D. Hopeful.
35. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To teach teenagers cooking. B. To improve school education.
C. To promote a cooking program. D. To care about teenagers’ health.

67. 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。
Most of you have probably felt this before — you wait a long time for something, but when it gets close, you’re afraid of what’s coming. That’s exactly how I felt before my first day of senior high school. I worked hard to pass the tests and had an interview with the headmaster to get into this famous school. When it was finally time to start, I couldn’t sleep the night before because I was so nervous about how I would look in front of everyone.
It was Monday morning. I was too excited to sleep the night before, so I arrived at school half an hour early. I walked nervously through the hallway. After about 15 minutes, the hallway was packed with students. The teachers seemed too busy to notice me. I knew which room I needed to go to and had already checked that it was open, but I was hesitant (犹豫不决的) to go in and stood alone. The students moved around me as if I wasn’t there, and I felt disappointed and lonely.
Suddenly, a well-dressed boy got close to me. He introduced himself as Thompson and asked if I was lost and if he could help me with anything. I realized how kind he was, and he was exactly who I had wished for a minute before, but I was too nervous to be friendly. Instead of accepting his help and making friends with him, I told him to mind his own business and that I was old enough to find my class without anyone’s help.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Luckily, the boy smiled at me and went away without getting angry.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Unexpectedly, Thompson walked into the same classroom.
