Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her senior high school life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling with homework all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, h placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After puling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境)—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
4. Why did the girl complain to her father?

C. Because of her father’ s busy work. D. Because of the food her father cooked.

7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Challenges and responses. B. Adversities and a chef.
C. A chef and coffee beans. D. Father and daughter.

Little kids can pick up a new language pretty easily. It’s supposed to be far harder for older children. But that conclusion (结论) might not be correct. The window on when people can learn a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18.
Earlier research had suggested we’re best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. But that’s not so, said Joshua Hartshorne and his colleagues.
Hartshorne surveyed tens of thousands of people online. He began by asking volunteers to take an online English grammar test. He used their answers to guess their native languages. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived? the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. It also asked how long they’d lived in an English-speaking country.
Hartshorne’s group analyzed (分析) responses from 669,498 native and non-native speakers of English. If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as those who had learned both English and another language from birth, the researchers found.
The results further showed that around age 17, people’s ability to learn grammar took a nosedive and that those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency (熟练) as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.
However, they found language learning did not end at 17 and people’s English skills kept improving slightly until around age 30. This was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language, the new study found.
8. How did Hartshorne do the survey?
A. He paid his friends to do it. B. He surveyed thousands of students.
C. He interviewed passers-by. D. He carried out the survey online.
9. Which of the following best explains “took a nosedive” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. Fell. B. Changed. C. Counted. D. Rose.
10. What do the researchers say about language learning?
A. It requires few skills. B. It keeps people smarter.
C. It ends at the age of 17. D. It needs more practice.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A learning guide. B. A study on language learning.
C. An English speaker. D. A survey on grammar rules.

"Why did you do this without asking for my permission first? Don't you know it's a total waste of time and it will have a bad influence on your study?" That's what my mother yelled at the ten-year-old me when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.
I bowed my head; yes, she was right. By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come — the examination to enter my dream junior high school. For that. I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favourite cartoon program and even the joyful weekend family reunion with my cousins. I wouldn't be surprised at all if my very strict-university-teacher mother got angry at me when I chose to do anything that had little to do with study at that important moment. In her opinion, if I hadn't spent all my time on my study I would have difficulty in entering my dream junior high school.
But that's not all to it. When I was ten, I was nervous, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal (致命的) to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.
Well I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid. But he told me that — since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable garden.
The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher's words.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Apparently surprised by my determination, my mother looked as if she was close to another explosion-but she only sighed and agreed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, h placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After puling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境)—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her senior high school life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling with homework all the time.(从前,一个女儿向她的父亲抱怨她的高中生活很不愉快,她一直在厌倦挣扎)”可知,女孩向她的父亲抱怨是因为她艰难的学校生活。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境)—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.( 然后他解释说,土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆都处于同样的逆境中——沸水。然而,每个的反应都不一样。)”和倒数第二段的“When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?(当逆境找上门来时,你将如何应对?)”可知,在这里父亲把土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆比喻成不同的人,说明不同的人对逆境有不同的反应。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。由后半句“with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water.(薄薄的外壳保护着它的液体,直到它被放入沸水中)”中的“the thin outer shell(薄薄的外壳)”,可知,鸡蛋是易碎的,所以fragile的意思是“易碎的”,D项“easily-broken(容易碎的)”的意思与其接近。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章讲述的是一个女孩向父亲抱怨,说她的高中生活不快乐,她厌倦了一直在奋斗。父亲将她带到厨房,用土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆分别放在盆里煮,让孩子看这三种东西的反应,从而启发孩子在逆境的时候应该怎么办。结合倒数第二段“The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”(坚硬的土豆在沸水中变得又软又弱。鸡蛋是易碎的,薄薄的外壳保护着它的液体,直到它被放入沸水中。然后蛋的内部变硬了。然而,咖啡豆是独一无二的。当它们暴露在沸水中后,它们改变了水,创造了新的东西。“你想成为哪一个?”他问。“当逆境找上门来时,你将如何应对?”)”可知A选项“Challenges and responses.(挑战和应对)”概括文章主要内容,适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
C
Little kids can pick up a new language pretty easily. It’s supposed to be far harder for older children. But that conclusion (结论) might not be correct. The window on when people can learn a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18.
Earlier research had suggested we’re best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. But that’s not so, said Joshua Hartshorne and his colleagues.
Hartshorne surveyed tens of thousands of people online. He began by asking volunteers to take an online English grammar test. He used their answers to guess their native languages. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived? the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. It also asked how long they’d lived in an English-speaking country.
Hartshorne’s group analyzed (分析) responses from 669,498 native and non-native speakers of English. If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as those who had learned both English and another language from birth, the researchers found.
The results further showed that around age 17, people’s ability to learn grammar took a nosedive and that those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency (熟练) as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.
However, they found language learning did not end at 17 and people’s English skills kept improving slightly until around age 30. This was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language, the new study found.
8. How did Hartshorne do the survey?
A. He paid his friends to do it. B. He surveyed thousands of students.
C. He interviewed passers-by. D. He carried out the survey online.
9. Which of the following best explains “took a nosedive” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. Fell. B. Changed. C. Counted. D. Rose.
10. What do the researchers say about language learning?
A. It requires few skills. B. It keeps people smarter.
C. It ends at the age of 17. D. It needs more practice.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A learning guide. B. A study on language learning.
C. An English speaker. D. A survey on grammar rules.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于语言学习窗口的研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He began by asking volunteers to take an online English grammar test.(他开始要求志愿者参加在线英语语法测试)”可知,Hartshorne是通过志愿者在线测试、问答等方式开展调查工作的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组后文“those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency (熟练) as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.(而那些在10岁或12岁之后开始学习英语人的英语水平从未达到更年轻的人的水平。为什么?研究人员认为,这是因为他们在17岁时技能下降之前练习的时间较少)”可知,took a nosedive是指在17岁左右时人们学习语法的能力是急剧下降的。由此推知,划线短语与选项A的意思最接近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The results further showed that around age 17, people’s ability to learn grammar took a nosedive and that those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency (熟练) as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.(研究结果进一步表明,在17岁左右,人们学习语法的能力急剧下降,而那些在10岁或12岁之后开始学习英语的人的英语水平从未达到更年轻的人的水平。为什么?研究人员认为,这是因为他们在17岁时技能下降之前练习的时间较少)”可推知,研究人员认为语言学习需要大量练习。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Little kids can pick up a new language pretty easily. It’s supposed to be far harder for older children. But that conclusion(结论) might not be correct. The window on when people can learn a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18.(小孩子很容易学会一门新语言。对于年龄较大的孩子来说,这应该要困难得多。但这个结论可能不正确。人们何时能学好一门语言的窗口似乎要持续到17岁或18岁左右)”和第二段“Earlier research had suggested we’re best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. But that’s not so, said Joshua Hartshorne and his colleagues.(早期的研究表明,我们最擅长在幼儿时期学习语法。约书亚·哈特肖恩和他的同事说,然后我们在5岁左右就走到了死胡同。但事实并非如此)”可知,本文主要介绍了一项关于语言学习窗口的研究。故选B。
D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了煎饼这种中国街头小吃的制作过程、历史渊源及其受欢迎程度。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:观看制作煎饼的过程是一次有趣的体验。空处需用动名词作主语,句首首字母需大写。故填Watching。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这几乎和真正吃一个煎饼一样好。空处需用副词作状语修饰动名词eating,actual的副词为actually“实际上,真正地”。故填actually。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:如果/当你不想要其中的一些,就说出来!根据空后“just say so! ”和空前“Then the pancake will be topped with different fillings. ”可知,空处需用if引导条件状语从句,也可用用when引导时间状语从句,句首首字母需大写。故填If/When。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:选择馅料的自由很容易满足不同顾客的口味。different后需接可数名词复数,customer意为“顾客”,其复数形式为customers。故填customers。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:但是这种食物太受欢迎了,你经常要排队等着轮到你。wait in line for…“排队等……”,固定搭配。故填for。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:人们普遍认为,这种小吃是几千年前在山东省发明的,在那里煎饼和馅饼是重要的食物。根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,因为小吃是被发明,所以空处需用一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done,主语为this snack,所以be动词需用was。故填was created。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是Shandong Province,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:有一次,他的士兵们丢了炊具后,他命令厨师做一些面糊,把它铺在火上的盾牌上。order sb. to do sth.“命令某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to make。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:士兵们后来发现这种食物很美味,这让他们精力充沛。空处需用形容词作宾语补足语,taste的形容词为tasty“美味的”。故填tasty。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:今天,这种小吃在世界许多地方继续流行。its是形容词性物主代词,后需接名词,popular的名词为popularity“流行,受欢迎”。故填popularity。

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】
Dear Jack,
I heard that you had a quarrel with your parents because you are addicted to mobile phone games. So you must be upset now.
To be honest, what you did is not the right thing. Firstly, you are supposed to focus on your study instead of mobile phone games, which have negative effects on your health or even make you have poorer eyesight. What’s more, you shouldn’t quarrel with your parents. They were concerned about your health and study, but you didn’t show respect, which made them heartbroken. I think you should apologize to them sincerely and quit this bad habit now.
I am expecting your good news.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。(字数150左右)
"Why did you do this without asking for my permission first? Don't you know it's a total waste of time and it will have a bad influence on your study?" That's what my mother yelled at the ten-year-old me when she found out that I had signed up for an English story-telling competition.
I bowed my head; yes, she was right. By then I was entering Grade Six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come — the examination to enter my dream junior high school. For that. I had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favourite cartoon program and even the joyful weekend family reunion with my cousins. I wouldn't be surprised at all if my very strict-university-teacher mother got angry at me when I chose to do anything that had little to do with study at that important moment. In her opinion, if I hadn't spent all my time on my study I would have difficulty in entering my dream junior high school.
But that's not all to it. When I was ten, I was nervous, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. These signs looked fatal (致命的) to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that I could be anything but a good public speaker.
Well, I myself actually said no to my English teacher at first, because I had never done anything like that before and I was afraid. But he told me that — since I liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story I love to everyone? He also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable garden.
The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher's words.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Apparently surprised by my determination, my mother looked as if she was close to another explosion-but she only sighed and agreed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher's words. The feeling of telling my beloved story to someone else lighted a spark of anticipation in my little chest. So after what seemed to be ages, harsh words from the above of my head suddenly disappeared. An urge of begging for my mother's permission got more and more uncontrollable. Eventually, I bravely raised my head, fearlessly looked into her eyes, and earnestly pleaded, "Mom please! I just want to have a try."
Apparently surprised by my determination, my mother looked as if she was close to another explosion — but she only sighed and agreed. Soon I started working with my English teacher day and night to hunt for a story, to illustrate the details, and to practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of the mirror. On the day of the competition, I went on the stage for the very first time in my life. Nervous as I was, I still finished my story. Although I only got the third prize at that time, I thanked my teacher and my mother for letting me take a road that I had never taken before.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者回忆自己十岁时因为报名参加英语演讲比赛,而让母亲生气的经历,母亲生气是因为她担心作者把宝贵的时间花在演讲比赛上,从而影响了学习,但作者的英语老师却鼓励其参加比赛。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“十岁的我被老师的话说服了。”可知,第一段可描写作者再一次请求母亲允许。
②由第二段首句内容“母亲显然对我的决心感到惊讶,她看起来好像又要发生一次爆发了——但她只是叹了口气,表示同意。”可知,第二段可描写作者为比赛做准备和比赛结果。
2.续写线索:恳求——练习——获得三等奖——感谢
3.词汇激活

①恳求:plead/beg
②练习:practice/train
③获得三等奖:get the third prize/be awarded the third prize
