B I missed the clear blue skies of home in Colorado over my grandparents’ farm. Some of my earliest memories were of sitting on my grandfather’s knee while he played his violin. When I was old enough, I went to college on a music scholarship. But when I came to New York City, I left my violin behind. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company, Jane,” my grandfather always said. I didn’t have either in my life these days. Looking at the gray sky, I was wondering whether I could get auditions- to give a short performance to be in a film. The winter sky was starting to turn purple when I heard something unexpected. An orchestra was practicing. I followed the sounds to the park and saw the musicians practicing. I approached the director during a break. “This is a community orchestra,” he said. “One you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument.” But I couldn’t afford to buy one and it wasn’t the kind of thing my parents could just ship from Colorado. As I walked back with heavy steps, a sign made me stop short: Schumacher Violin Maker. From the window, I saw an old man wearing glasses adjusting the bridge on a violin. I stepped inside and told him my story. When I’d finished, he said,“So, you need a violin.” I nodded in embarrassment. He surveyed the rows of instruments and selected a violin with a bright color. “Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me. Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream. But it was real—as real as the strings I was touching. My heart pounding with excitement, I headed for the park. There was a chair in the orchestra waiting for me. Playing the violin, I immediately felt at home. I made a ton of friends there. Music had brought me good company, just as my grandfather had promised. 24. What might be the author’s dream job in New York City? A. An actress. B. An artist. C. A violinist. D. A composer. 25. How does the author express her mood at different times? A. By creating dialogues. B. By recording emotional conflicts. C. By citing her grandfather’s words. D. By describing the colors of the sky. 26. Who did the author turn to for a violin? A. Her grandfather. B. Her parents. C. The shopkeeper. D. The director. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author? A. She woke up from her dream. B. She failed in her career attempts. C. Her grandfather lived in her heart. D. Music gave her a sense of belonging. C It’s the middle of winter, and the prospect of warm sunny days is a long way off. For some of us, it’s the most depressing time of year, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. It is when the winter blues set in. So what can be done to lift our spirits? The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, which can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having the seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a shortage of light and is thought to affect the part of the brain that rules sleep, appetite, moods and activity levels． Jenny Scott-Thompson diagnosed (诊断) with the SAD struggled with periods of tiredness and unhappiness. She was recommended for light therapy (疗法), which involved sitting in front of a light box as well as going outside during daylight hours. This is believed to help anyone who is affected by winter depression． Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants can help those with more severe depression by artificially raising the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone, and many of us can try to just change our mindset. Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “It can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of seasons.” It might sound easier said than done, but accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us. Writing for a social website, Esther De La Ford asks, “What if we explore what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of being upset about those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection and slowing down． 28. What is the major cause of winter depression? A. Eating more. B. Lack of light. C. Less exercise. D. Feeling lonely. 29. According to Paragraph 4, in what way do antidepressants help patients with more severe depression? A. By increasing the amount of light. B. By changing people’s mindset. C. By artificially raising brain serotonin levels. D. By advising rest and reflection. 30. How does the author develop his idea in paragraph 5? A. By describing details. B. By providing evidence. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example. 31. What's this passage mainly about? A. The types of the SAD. B. The importance of taking action. C. The causes of winter depression. D. The way to stay cheerful in winter. D There are 7 billion people in this world, with 7 billion different opinions about outer beauty. What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else and vice versa. And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical features , there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing. Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look. Plastic surgery (整形) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable. This is absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health. Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So they delve into (钻研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in. In reality, what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies, but remodeling our mindset. We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves. We should be inspired to learn more languages, so we can dive into different cultures and expand our limits. Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless. As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits (特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness, Loyalty, Patience, Integrity, A good sense of humor, and A supportive nature. All of these traits can be found in anyone, regardless of the outer beauty they possess. More importantly, these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life partners, meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face. 32. What does the underlined word “manipulate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Check. B. Manage. C. Maintain. D. Appreciate. 33. Why are many people seeking plastic surgery nowadays according to the text? A To improve their mental health. B. To indicate their identities. C. To adapt to society. D. To cover their physical disability. 34. What’s one feature of inner beauty according to the author? A. It’s permanent. B. It can be measured. C. It’s a natural-born thing. D. It varies from culture to culture. 35 Which topic does A Conscious Rethink probably cover? A. Adventure. B. Healthcare. C. Entertainment. D. Relationship. 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。 Who are your friends?

The rain just came pouring down outside. An elderly man and his wife entered the lobby (大厅)of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA. Trying to get out of the rain, the couple approached the front desk hoping to get a room to stay in for the night. “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked. The clerk, a friendly young man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conferences in the town. "All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. “But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o'clock at night. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.” When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me. I'll make out just fine," the clerk told them. So the couple agreed. As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I'll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn't easy. Three years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the thing when he received a letter from the elderly man. It recalled that stormy night, when he offered his kind help to the elderly couple. In the envelope, there was a round-trip ticket to New York, and a letter asking the young man to pay them a visit.

According to the arrangement, we’d stay here for a year, but when we arrived on a lovely September evening, we realized immediately that we wanted to stay longer. David loved the scenery here and was greatly inspired by it. He wanted to record everything with his paintbrush every day he spent hours outdoors, painting beautiful sunsets, flying birds, and mostly the locals. The styles of his works were always changing, and each new painting was even more beautiful than the previous one last May. While we were visiting a small town, we saw an empty cottage near an open wheat field. David thought it would make a lovely place for an art exhibition, so we rented it. We filled the place with David’s paintings and began to prepare. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to the North Carolina Zoo We are excited to welcome you to the zoo.

Some of my earliest memories were of sitting on my grandfather’s knee while he played his violin. When I was old enough, I went to college on a music scholarship. But when I came to New York City, I left my violin behind. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company, Jane,” my grandfather always said. I didn’t have either in my life these days. Looking at the gray sky, I was wondering whether I could get auditions- to give a short performance to be in a film. The winter sky was starting to turn purple when I heard something unexpected. An orchestra was practicing. I followed the sounds to the park and saw the musicians practicing. I approached the director during a break. “This is a community orchestra,” he said. “One you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument.” But I couldn’t afford to buy one and it wasn’t the kind of thing my parents could just ship from Colorado. As I walked back with heavy steps, a sign made me stop short: Schumacher Violin Maker. From the window, I saw an old man wearing glasses adjusting the bridge on a violin. I stepped inside and told him my story. When I’d finished, he said,“So, you need a violin.” I nodded in embarrassment. He surveyed the rows of instruments and selected a violin with a bright color. “Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me. Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream. But it was real—as real as the strings I was touching. My heart pounding with excitement, I headed for the park. There was a chair in the orchestra waiting for me. Playing the violin, I immediately felt at home. I made a ton of friends there. Music had brought me good company, just as my grandfather had promised. 24. What might be the author’s dream job in New York City? A. An actress. B. An artist. C. A violinist. D. A composer. 25. How does the author express her mood at different times? A. By creating dialogues. B. By recording emotional conflicts. C. By citing her grandfather’s words. D. By describing the colors of the sky. 26. Who did the author turn to for a violin? A. Her grandfather. B. Her parents. C. The shopkeeper. D. The director. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author? A. She woke up from her dream. B. She failed in her career attempts. C. Her grandfather lived in her heart. D. Music gave her a sense of belonging. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在纽约找工作遇到挫折时，遇到了一位好心的店主，送她一把小提琴加入了公园的管弦乐队，音乐给了她归属感，也让她想起了自己的爷爷。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Looking at the gray sky, I was wondering whether I could get auditions- to give a short performance to be in a film.(看着灰色的天空，我在想我是否能得到试镜机会——为一部电影做一个简短的表演。)”可知，作者在纽约的梦想工作是成为一名女演员。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I missed the clear blue skies of home in Colorado over my grandparents’ farm.(我想念科罗拉多老家祖父母农场上空湛蓝的天空。)”、文章第二段“Looking at the gray sky, I was wondering whether I could get auditions- to give a short performance to be in a film.(看着灰色的天空，我在想我是否能得到试镜机会——为一部电影做一个简短的表演。)”和文章第三段“The winter sky was starting to turn purple when I heard something unexpected.( 冬天的天空开始变紫，这时我听到了一件意想不到的事情。)”可推知，作者通过描述天空的颜色来表达不同时期的情绪。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“From the window, I saw an old man wearing glasses adjusting the bridge on a violin. I stepped inside and told him my story. When I’d finished, he said, “So, you need a violin.” I nodded in embarrassment. He surveyed the rows of instruments and selected a violin with a bright color.“Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me.( 从窗口，我看到一位戴眼镜的老人正在调整小提琴上的琴桥。我走进去，告诉他我的故事。当我完成后，他说:“那么，你需要一把小提琴。”我尴尬地点了点头。他察看了一排乐器，挑了一把颜色鲜艳的小提琴。“拿去吧，”他说。“去做你的音乐吧。”)”可知，作者向店主要一把小提琴。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Playing the violin, I immediately felt at home. (拉小提琴时，我立刻有了家的感觉)”可知，音乐给她归属感。故选D。 C It’s the middle of winter, and the prospect of warm sunny days is a long way off. For some of us, it’s the most depressing time of year, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. It is when the winter blues set in. So what can be done to lift our spirits? The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, which can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having the seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a shortage of light and is thought to affect the part of the brain that rules sleep, appetite, moods and activity levels． Jenny Scott-Thompson diagnosed (诊断) with the SAD struggled with periods of tiredness and unhappiness. She was recommended for light therapy (疗法) which involved sitting in front of a light box as well as going outside during daylight hours. This is believed to help anyone who is affected by winter depression． Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants can help those with more severe depression by artificially raising the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone, and many of us can try to just change our mindset. Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “It can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of seasons.” It might sound easier said than done, but accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us. Writing for a social website, Esther De La Ford asks, “What if we explore what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of being upset about those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection and slowing down． 28. What is the major cause of winter depression? A. Eating more. B. Lack of light. C. Less exercise. D. Feeling lonely. 29. According to Paragraph 4, in what way do antidepressants help patients with more severe depression? A. By increasing the amount of light. B. By changing people’s mindset. C. By artificially raising brain serotonin levels. D. By advising rest and reflection. 30. How does the author develop his idea in paragraph 5? A. By describing details. B. By providing evidence. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example. 31. What's this passage mainly about? A. The types of the SAD. B. The importance of taking action. C. The causes of winter depression. D. The way to stay cheerful in winter. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析冬季抑郁的成因，介绍光照疗法、药物治疗及心态调整等改善方法，帮助人们冬季保持愉悦。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a shortage of light(这是一种具有季节性模式的抑郁症，由光照不足引起)”可知，冬季抑郁的主要原因是缺乏光照。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“antidepressants can help those with more severe depression by artificially raising the amount of serotonin in the brain(抗抑郁药物可以通过人为提高大脑中血清素的含量，帮助那些患有更严重抑郁症的人)”可知，药物通过人为提升大脑血清素水平发挥作用。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Writing for a social website, Esther De La Ford asks, “What if we explore what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of being upset about those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection and slowing down．(埃丝特・德拉福特（Esther De La Ford）在某社交网站发文问道：“倘若我们不去为冬季带走的东西而沮丧，转而探索这个时节能赋予我们什么，会怎样呢？” 她建议我们利用这段时间休息、反思，放慢生活节奏。)”可知，作者通过引用埃丝特的观点举例，佐证“积极看待冬季”的建议。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“So what can be done to lift our spirits？(那么，我们可以做些什么来振奋精神呢？)”可知，短文主要分析冬季抑郁的成因，介绍光照疗法、药物治疗及心态调整等改善方法，帮助人们冬季保持愉悦。所以短文主要关于冬季保持愉悦的方法。故选D项。 D There are 7 billion people in this world, with 7 billion different opinions about outer beauty. What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else and vice versa. And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical features , there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing. Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look. Plastic surgery (整形) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable. This is absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health. Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So they delve into (钻研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in. In reality, what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies, but remodeling our mindset. We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves. We should be inspired to learn more languages, so we can dive into different cultures and expand our limits. Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless. As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits (特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness, Loyalty, Patience, Integrity, A good sense of humor, and A supportive nature. All of these traits can be found in anyone, regardless of the outer beauty they possess. More importantly, these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life partners, meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face. 32. What does the underlined word “manipulate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Check. B. Manage. C. Maintain. D. Appreciate. 33. Why are many people seeking plastic surgery nowadays according to the text? A. To improve their mental health. B. To indicate their identities. C. To adapt to society. D. To cover their physical disability. 34. What’s one feature of inner beauty according to the author? A. It’s permanent. B. It can be measured. C. It’s a natural-born thing. D. It varies from culture to culture. 35. Which topic does A Conscious Rethink probably cover? A. Adventure. B. Healthcare. C. Entertainment. D. Relationship. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章揭示了整形手术和其他整容手术受欢迎的原因，并提出外在美会褪色而内在美才是永恒的观点。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Plastic surgery (整形) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable.”（整形和整容手术变得越来越容易和负担得起。）可知划线句子中的“the way you look”指的就是整容和整形手术的方式，而整容和整型是管理人外貌的方式，manage意为“管理”符合题意。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society.”（可悲的是，随着社交媒体成为我们生活的一部分，有太多的人在与自我形象问题作斗争不是因为他们有什么问题而是因为他们确信他们需要以某种方式被社会接受。）可知，现在很多人整容是为了能被社会所接受。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless.”（与其花钱去模仿别人，不如花时间成为最好的自己，因为外在的美会褪色但是内在的美是永恒的。）可知，人们认为持久的是内在美。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。推理判断题。根据第五段“As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits (特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness, Loyalty, Patience, Integrity, A good sense of humor, and A supportive nature.”（正如《有意识的反思》一书所指出的那样，当问及他们在潜在的长期伴侣身上寻找什么品质时，大多数人所说的和外表无关。我们寻找的最多的是善良、忠诚、耐心、正直、幽默和乐于助人的品质。）可知，《有意识的反思》这本书讲的是伴侣之间的关系。故选D项。 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。 Who are your friends? Are they all similar in age to you? ____36____ But you can widen your social circle and gain life-enriching benefits by becoming friends with someone younger or older than you. Having friends of different ages can greatly improve the quality of your life. Having older friends can change your attitude towards life because they have already gone through the challenges you are facing. They have been young parents, have survived a job loss, and can help you get through these changes in your own life. ____37____ Then you’ll feel more ready for what’s coming in future stages. When older people make friends with younger people, they get to share their experiences which can be very rewarding. ____38____ Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better. It gives you meaning and is good for your mental health. Having younger friends can also make you feel younger by including new ideas and energy in your life. ____39____ While making new friends may seem frightening, it’s actually easier than you think. You can first think about your acquaintances or coworkers and see if any of them share your values and interests and would make a good friend. Then see if you can make a coffee date. Besides, you can consider joining in a class that your coworker or acquaintance participates in that you think you will enjoy. ____40____ All in all making friends with people not your age can open your eyes to new ideas and new experiences that can be life-changing. A. For human beings, giving is good. B. Where to find friends sharing a common interest? C. Then how can you make intergenerational friends? D. Having friends at your own age is natural, of course. E. What’s more, younger friends can give you some fresh ideas. F. It’s believed that joining in activities like volunteering is also an effective way. G. An older friend also helps you “try on” certain life experiences before you get there. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. A 39. C 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。交不同年龄的朋友对自己的生活会有哪些帮助？如何结交呢？本文就此进行了回答。 【详解】1. 空前“Are they all similar in age to you? (他们的年龄都和你一样吗？)”提到你的朋友是否都与你年龄相仿，空后“But you can widen your social circle and gain life-enriching benefits by becoming friends with someone younger or older than you.(但是你可以通过和比你年轻或年长的人成为朋友来扩大你的社交圈并获得丰富生活的好处。)”提到和比自己年长或年轻的人交朋友的好处。由此可知，空处是过渡句，应起到承上启下的作用。D项“当然，和同龄人交朋友是很正常的”与空前相呼应，且与空后内容形成转折，符合语境。故选D。 2. 空前“They have been young parents, have survived a job loss, and can help you get through these changes in your own life.(他们是年轻的父母，在失业中幸存下来，可以帮助你度过生活中的这些变化。)”提到年长的朋友能帮助你度过人生中的转变，这是有年长的朋友的一个好处，空后“Then you’ll feel more ready for what’s coming in future stages.(然后你会觉得对未来的事情做好了更多的准备。)”提到这样你就会为接下来的阶段做更好的准备。由此可知空处应引入有年长的朋友的另一个好处。G项“年长的朋友还可以帮助你提前体验某种生活经历”同时表明了有年长的朋友的另一个好处，和上文是并列关系，同时和下文是顺承关系，符合语境。故选G。 3. 空前“When older people make friends with younger people, they get to share their experiences which can be very rewarding.(当年长一些的人与年轻一些的人交朋友时，他们可以分享他们的经历，这可能是非常有益的。)”和空后内容“Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better.( 给予你的智慧和关注会让你感觉更好。)”都与分享和给予有关，因此空处内容也应与此相关。A项“对人类来说，给予是件好事”既与上文“share their experiences”相照应，又与下文“Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better”相联系。故选A。 4. 从空处所在位置可知该空内容应是对段落内容的概括与总结。根据下文中的“You can first think about your acquaintances or coworkers and see if any of them share your values and interests and would make a good friend. Then see if you can make a coffee date. Besides, you can consider joining in a class that your coworker or acquaintance participates in that you think you will enjoy. (首先，你可以想想你的熟人或同事，看看他们是否和你有同样的价值观和兴趣，是否会成为你的好朋友。然后看看你能不能约个时间喝咖啡。此外，你可以考虑加入一个你的同事或熟人参加的你认为自己会喜欢的课程。)”可知，该段主要介绍了结交年长或更年轻的朋友的方法。C项“那么你如何建立跨代友谊呢？”准确概括了段落主旨。故选C。 5. 根据空前的内容“You can first think about your acquaintances or coworkers and see if any of them share your values and interests and would make a good friend. Then see if you can make a coffee date. Besides, you can consider joining in a class that your coworker or acquaintance participates in that you think you will enjoy.(首先，你可以想想你的熟人或同事，看看他们是否和你有同样的价值观和兴趣，是否会成为你的好朋友。然后看看你能不能约个时间喝咖啡。此外，你可以考虑加入一个你的同事或熟人参加的你认为自己会喜欢的课程。)”可知，该段主要介绍了如何结交年长或更年轻的朋友。空处也应是结交年长或更年轻的朋友的一个方法。F项“参加志愿服务等活动也被认为是一个有效方法”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My grandma, Lily, has just turned 70.

The rain just came pouring down outside. An elderly man and his wife entered the lobby (大厅)of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA. Trying to get out of the rain, the couple approached the front desk hoping to get a room to stay in for the night. “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked. The clerk, a friendly young man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conferences in the town. "All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. “But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o'clock at night. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.” When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me. I'll make out just fine," the clerk told them. So the couple agreed. As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I'll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn't easy. Three years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the thing when he received a letter from the elderly man. It recalled that stormy night, when he offered his kind help to the elderly couple. In the envelope, there was a round-trip ticket to New York, and a letter asking the young man to pay them a visit. The young man decided to set out immediately. 注意: 1 .续写词数应为150左右； 2 .续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: “Do you still remember my promise years ago?” the elderly man said to the young man. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You must be joking,” the young man said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: “Do you still remember my promise years ago?” the elderly man said to the young man. The young man was puzzled and remembered nothing of what the elderly man had said years before. He just looked at the elderly man in surprise, shaking his head. “Well,” the elderly man went on. “I promised to build a hotel for you when I left your hotel. You are so kind and so helpful. I'm sure you will turn out to be a good boss in the future. I have firm trust in you. Paragraph 2: “You must be joking,” the young man said. “I'm serious,” said the elderly man with a smile around his mouth. He then pointed to a great new building there. “That,” said the elderly man, “is the hotel I have just built for you. I hope you can take charge of it.” Thus, the young clerk became the first manager of the hotel. But he had never expected the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world's most famous hotels. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个倾盆大雨的夜晚，一对老夫妇进入一家小旅馆想要住宿，但所有客房已经订满。一位年轻的员工将自己的房间让给了他们。多年后，这位老先生兑现当年的承诺，为这个年轻人建造了一座酒店，并邀请他出任经理的感人故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这位老人询问这个年轻人是否还记得他几年前的诺言。”可知，第一段可描写这位老者重提多年前的承诺。打算要为年轻人建造一家酒店，让他做老板。 ②由第二段首句内容“这个年轻人对老人的话难以置信。”可知，第二段可描写年轻人对老人的提议深感惊讶，但在老人诚恳的邀请下，承担起管理酒店的职责。 2.续写线索：重提诺言——惊讶——解释——难以置信——诚恳邀请——成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.管理：take charge of /take over/hold the reins of ②.继续说道：go on/add/move on ③.信任：have trust in sb/have faith in sb/have belief in sb 情绪类 ①.惊讶地：in surprise/in astonishment ②.迷惑不解的：puzzled/confused/bewildered 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
