Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Dear Abby, My third grader hates reading and we’d all been looking forward to a rest this summer. But we just-received his teacher’s summer-reading assignment, which requires him to read six books and write three book reports. Do I really need to force him to do this work over the summer? Won’t it only make him hate reading all the more? Kristal Dear Kristal, You’re right that your son needs a break this summer, but taking a break doesn’t mean ignoring academic skills altogether. Summer reading is of great importance to reduce the gap between students who struggle and those who succeed. It will help him to retain the skills that he had gained during the school year. It would be great if you can make reading more enjoyable, and more routine, for him. Here are some tips that may help. Help him find books that he’s more likely to take pleasure in. If the school assigned a summer-reading list, look over it with your son to see which ones may most interest him, and let him choose a couple of books. Help your son plan how to get through the books he has chosen by establishing a routine. He should choose for himself a particular time of day during which he’ll do his reading. What’s important is consistency: Reading will become more of a habit and less of a battle if he has a regular time when he expects to be doing it. Remember: frequency is the key. Fifteen to twenty minutes of daily reading is better than, say, two hours every Sunday. He might write down a sentence-long summary and a reaction every day or two after completing his reading so that writing a book report will be easier once he has finished reading a book. Your goal is to make reading part of his life in such a way that it won’t require a daily battle. By giving him agency and helping him to create a routine, you’ll make this summer more relaxing for the both of you. Yours Abby 38. Abby is most probably ________. A. a third grader B. a parent C. an editor D. a school teacher 39. Kristal wrote the letter because she didn’t know ________. A. how to help her son write book reports B. how to motivate her son to study harder C. how to help her son have a fulfilling summer vacation D. whether she should force her son to read at the risk of making him hate the activity all the more 40. The underlined word “retain” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. control B. forget C. select D. preserve 41. In Abby’s opinion, what should Kristal do to change her son’s attitude towards reading? ① Help him find books that interest him. ②Help him write down a complete summary every day. ③Help him establish a reading routine and develop good reading habits. ④Help him finish the reading reports to boost his confidence in reading. A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ②④ 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，为两封书信往来。主要围绕Kristal写给Abby的信以及Abby的回信展开，探讨了关于孩子暑假阅读作业的问题及相应建议。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据Abby的回信第一段中的“Summer reading is of great importance to reduce the gap between students who struggle and those who succeed. (暑期阅读对于缩小学习困难学生和成绩优异学生之间的差距具有重要意义。)”及后面的建议并结合书信专栏的常见设定可知，她不仅明确暑期阅读的重要性，还能给出专业且具体的引导建议。因此，Abby最可能是负责解答读者咨询的专栏“编辑”。故选C项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kristal书信中的“Do I really need to force him to do this work over the summer? Won’t it only make him hate reading all the more? (我真的需要强迫他在整个夏天做这项工作吗？这难道不会只会让他更加讨厌阅读吗？)”可知，她写信是因为不知道 “是否应该强迫儿子阅读，以免让他更讨厌阅读”。故选D项。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句和前一句“Summer reading is of great importance to reduce the gap between students who struggle and those who succeed. It will help him to retain the skills that he had gained during the school year. (暑期阅读对于缩小成绩不佳学生和成绩优异学生之间的差距至关重要。它将帮助学生retain在学年中获得的技能。)”可知，“retain”在此应为“保留；保持；巩固”之意，与“preserve”意思相近。故选D项。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据Abby给出的建议，首先提到“Help him find books that he’s more likely to take pleasure in. (帮助他找到他更可能喜欢的书。)”，与选项①相符；其次提到“Help your son plan how to get through the books he has chosen by establishing a routine. (通过制定一个常规计划，帮助你的儿子规划如何读完他选的那些书。)”与选项③相符。而选项②“Help him write down a complete summary every day. (每天帮他写下一份完整的总结。)”表述错误，与“He might write down a sentence-long summary and a reaction every day or two after completing his reading so that writing a book report will be easier once he has finished reading a book. (他可以在完成阅读后的每隔一两天写下一句总结和感想，这样当他读完一本书后，写读书报告就会更容易些。)”不符；选项④“Help him finish the reading reports to boost his confidence in reading. (帮他完成阅读报告，以增强他在阅读方面的自信心。)”在文中并未提及。故选B项。 (B) Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.

The man was swinging a rope of dough between his hands. He raised the dough and firmly slapped it repeatedly against the countertop (操作台). As he continued slapping it, the dough stretched longer and longer. Holding the centre of the strand, he then split the dough down the middle to form a loop (环). At last, he tossed it into a waiting pot of bubbling water. I was attracted by this display, so I asked the chef for a serving. Minutes later, a bowl of thick noodles soaked in hot chilli oil and vinegar and sprinkled with spring onions and garlic was brought to me. The noodles were as wide as a belt and nearly as long as one too. Their firm texture (口感) offered a satisfying bite. The slapping technique, as it turned out, helped the noodles to absorb the rich flavours of the seasonings. Here in Xi’an, the craft of noodle-pulling is so closely connected with that slapping sound that the noise ended up inspiring this dish’s curious name: biang biang noodles. The “biang” character is thought to be like the sound of dough hitting a counter. It is also believed to be more complex to write than any other character in the Chinese language, with 58 strokes. I was surprised to discover that the character doesn’t actually exist — at least, not according to official dictionaries. That’s because the character is entirely a folk creation. Taking a closer look at the symbol, I realised that it is also made up of many distinct elements. Together, they paint a picture of Xi’an’s rich history. Hiding in biang, for example, is the Chinese character for silk. Xi’an was the starting point of the Silk Road. Along those trade routes, horses not only provided a primary means of transport, but were traded as well. It makes sense, then, that the biang character containing the symbol for horse. On either side of the horse symbol, the Chinese character meaning “long” or “length” also appears. Whether this be viewed as a reference to the Silk Road or to the noodles themselves, both would seem appropriate. It’s unclear exactly how the complex character originated. One widely told story credits it to a young scholar from the Qin dynasty who didn’t have enough money for his bowl of biang biang noodles and offered to invent a character instead of payment. Today, there are amusing poems people can recite to help recall all of the complicated character’s numerous strokes. 45. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________. A. the origin of biang biang noodles B. the process of making biang biang noodles C. how biang biang noodles smell and taste D. the thing that makes noodles in Xi’an special 46. Based on information from the article, a bowl of biang biang noodles includes all of the following ingredients EXCEPT________. A. salted horse meat B. chilli oil and vinegar C. belt-like wide noodles D. spring onions and garlic 47. Which of the following statements about the biang character is NOT true? A. It has been included in most official dictionaries. B. Its structure reflects the long and rich history of Xi’an. C. Its pronunciation is like the sound of dough hitting the counter. D. Interesting rhymes were invented to help people remember how to write it. 48. What is the author’s intention in writing the article? A. To tell readers that the biang character does not exist. B. To summarise the characteristics of biang and the way to write it. C. To inform readers of biang biang noodles and the culture reflected. D. To remind readers to be curious all the time and that learning is everywhere. 【答案】45. B 46. A 47. A 48. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了biang biang面的制作过程、特点以及“biang”字的由来和文化内涵。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The man was swinging a rope of dough between his hands. He raised the dough and firmly slapped it repeatedly against the countertop (操作台). As he continued slapping it, the dough stretched longer and longer. Holding the centre of the strand, he then split the dough down the middle to form a loop (环). At last, he tossed it into a waiting pot of bubbling water. (那个男人正双手间甩动着一根面团绳。他举起面团，用力地反复拍打在操作台上。随着他不断拍打，面团变得越来越长。接着，他握住面条的中间，从中间将面团撕开，形成一个环。最后，他把面团扔进一口正冒着泡的沸水锅里)”可知，第二段主要描述了制作biang biang面的过程。故选B。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Minutes later, a bowl of thick noodles soaked in hot chilli oil and vinegar and sprinkled with spring onions and garlic was brought to me. The noodles were as wide as a belt and nearly as long as one too. (几分钟后，一碗浸在热辣椒油和醋里的粗面条，撒上葱和大蒜，端到了我面前。面条像腰带一样宽，几乎和腰带一样长。)”可知，一碗biang biang面包括辣椒油和醋、像腰带一样宽的面条、葱和大蒜，没有提到“咸马肉”。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“I was surprised to discover that the character doesn’t actually exist-at least, not according to official dictionaries. (我惊讶地发现，这个字实际上并不存在 —— 至少，官方字典里没有。)”可知，“biang”字并未被收录在官方字典中，所以A项“已被大多数官方词典收录”表述错误。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕biang biang面展开，介绍了其制作、口感、名字由来，重点解读了“biang”字的文化内涵，核心意图是向读者介绍 biang biang 面及其所体现的文化。故选C。 Section C (8%) Directions: Read the following passage.

But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn’t true relaxation. Depending on what you are watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous. The same is true for alcohol, drugs or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false state of relaxation that’s only temporary. What the body really needs is a relaxation technique — like deep breathing, tai chi or yoga — that has a physical effect on the mind. Get enough sleep, nutrition and exercise Get the right amount of sleep for your needs not too much or too little. Eat well-chosen fruit, vegetables, low fat proteins and whole grains for long term energy instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine. ___50___ In that way, your brain and body can operate at their best. Connect with others. ___51___ Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, which allows us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone. ___52___ Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful. Choose somewhere you feel safe so that you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Walking or hiking can offer additional benefit or exercise. Invite a friend or two — or a family member along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well. Think positively. A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful and positive. Allow yourself to dream and wish for the best. A.

Outline Writing(8%) Directions: Read the following passage and complete the brief outline that follows. Write no more than 5 words for each blank. “Think green!” We have heard of it many times, but do we understand what it means? Climate change will affect us. our health and the health of the planet, so maybe it’s time to do something about it. A great way to “think green” is to turn off the electronic appliances in our homes and spend time doing other activities instead of watching TV or surfing the Internet. The planet is helped because we are using less energy. And if we are not using our electronic appliances, we will have time to exercise, connect with our friends, and develop other interests and hobbies. We can choose activities that are both enjoyable and kind to the planet. We can use the free time to plant a vegetable garden, which will help both the gardener and the planet. The gardener gets exercise, time outdoors in the fresh air, the satisfaction of raising food, as well as the benefit of eating well. In addition, if you garden organically, you won’t use toxic chemicals and pesticides (杀虫剂). This will help our water cleaner and ensure that small animals, birds, and beneficial insects are not harmed. Gardening is one small way to go green and relieve stress, but you can also encourage environmental responsibility in bigger ways. It is also important to support green projects that help the planet. We can encourage governments and businesses to use energy from solar power or to build fewer roads and more bicycle lanes. Or we can volunteer for projects on our own communities, such as cleaning our green spaces and rivers. In this way, we can get exercise while we work to make a cleaner place to enjoy nature. Supporting and participating in green projects is healthy for us and the planet. We can each have a smart part of the solution to environmental problems. If we start with our everyday choices, we can “think green”, “act green” and “support green.” Through our actions we will perhaps make a difference to both the Earth and ourselves. Outline: I.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Dear Abby, My third grader hates reading and we’d all been looking forward to a rest this summer. But we just-received his teacher’s summer-reading assignment, which requires him to read six books and write three book reports. Do I really need to force him to do this work over the summer? Won’t it only make him hate reading all the more? Kristal Dear Kristal, You’re right that your son needs a break this summer, but taking a break doesn’t mean ignoring academic skills altogether. Summer reading is of great importance to reduce the gap between students who struggle and those who succeed. It will help him to retain the skills that he had gained during the school year. It would be great if you can make reading more enjoyable, and more routine, for him. Here are some tips that may help. Help him find books that he’s more likely to take pleasure in. If the school assigned a summer-reading list, look over it with your son to see which ones may most interest him, and let him choose a couple of books. Help your son plan how to get through the books he has chosen by establishing a routine. He should choose for himself a particular time of day during which he’ll do his reading. What’s important is consistency: Reading will become more of a habit and less of a battle if he has a regular time when he expects to be doing it. Remember: frequency is the key. Fifteen to twenty minutes of daily reading is better than, say, two hours every Sunday. He might write down a sentence-long summary and a reaction every day or two after completing his reading so that writing a book report will be easier once he has finished reading a book. Your goal is to make reading part of his life in such a way that it won’t require a daily battle. By giving him agency and helping him to create a routine, you’ll make this summer more relaxing for the both of you. Yours Abby 38. Abby is most probably ________. A. a third grader B. a parent C. an editor D. a school teacher 39. Kristal wrote the letter because she didn’t know ________. A. how to help her son write book reports B. how to motivate her son to study harder C. how to help her son have a fulfilling summer vacation D. whether she should force her son to read at the risk of making him hate the activity all the more 40. The underlined word “retain” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. control B. forget C. select D. preserve 41. In Abby’s opinion, what should Kristal do to change her son’s attitude towards reading? ① Help him find books that interest him. ②Help him write down a complete summary every day. ③Help him establish a reading routine and develop good reading habits. ④Help him finish the reading reports to boost his confidence in reading.

The man was swinging a rope of dough between his hands. He raised the dough and firmly slapped it repeatedly against the countertop (操作台). As he continued slapping it, the dough stretched longer and longer. Holding the centre of the strand, he then split the dough down the middle to form a loop (环). At last, he tossed it into a waiting pot of bubbling water. I was attracted by this display, so I asked the chef for a serving. Minutes later, a bowl of thick noodles soaked in hot chilli oil and vinegar and sprinkled with spring onions and garlic was brought to me. The noodles were as wide as a belt and nearly as long as one too. Their firm texture (口感) offered a satisfying bite. The slapping technique, as it turned out, helped the noodles to absorb the rich flavours of the seasonings. Here in Xi’an, the craft of noodle-pulling is so closely connected with that slapping sound that the noise ended up inspiring this dish’s curious name: biang biang noodles. The “biang” character is thought to be like the sound of dough hitting a counter. It is also believed to be more complex to write than any other character in the Chinese language, with 58 strokes. I was surprised to discover that the character doesn’t actually exist — at least, not according to official dictionaries. That’s because the character is entirely a folk creation. Taking a closer look at the symbol, I realised that it is also made up of many distinct elements. Together, they paint a picture of Xi’an’s rich history. Hiding in biang, for example, is the Chinese character for silk. Xi’an was the starting point of the Silk Road. Along those trade routes, horses not only provided a primary means of transport, but were traded as well. It makes sense, then, that the biang character containing the symbol for horse. On either side of the horse symbol, the Chinese character meaning “long” or “length” also appears. Whether this be viewed as a reference to the Silk Road or to the noodles themselves, both would seem appropriate. It’s unclear exactly how the complex character originated. One widely told story credits it to a young scholar from the Qin dynasty who didn’t have enough money for his bowl of biang biang noodles and offered to invent a character instead of payment. Today, there are amusing poems people can recite to help recall all of the complicated character’s numerous strokes. 45. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________. A. the origin of biang biang noodles B. the process of making biang biang noodles C. how biang biang noodles smell and taste D. the thing that makes noodles in Xi’an special 46. Based on information from the article, a bowl of biang biang noodles includes all of the following ingredients EXCEPT________. A. salted horse meat B. chilli oil and vinegar C. belt-like wide noodles D. spring onions and garlic 47. Which of the following statements about the biang character is NOT true? A. It has been included in most official dictionaries. B. Its structure reflects the long and rich history of Xi’an. C. Its pronunciation is like the sound of dough hitting the counter. D. Interesting rhymes were invented to help people remember how to write it. 48. What is the author’s intention in writing the article? A. To tell readers that the biang character does not exist. B. To summarise the characteristics of biang and the way to write it. C. To inform readers of biang biang noodles and the culture reflected. D. To remind readers to be curious all the time and that learning is everywhere. Section C (8%) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tension and stress from time to time. Here are some ways to help us manage them. ___49___ We all think we know how to relax. But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn’t true relaxation. Depending on what you are watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous. The same is true for alcohol, drugs or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false state of relaxation that’s only temporary. What the body really needs is a relaxation technique — like deep breathing, tai chi or yoga — that has a physical effect on the mind. Get enough sleep, nutrition and exercise Get the right amount of sleep for your needs not too much or too little. Eat well-chosen fruit, vegetables, low fat proteins and whole grains for long term energy instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine. ___50___ In that way, your brain and body can operate at their best. Connect with others. ___51___ Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, which allows us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone. ___52___ Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful. Choose somewhere you feel safe so that you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Walking or hiking can offer additional benefit or exercise. Invite a friend or two — or a family member along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well. Think positively. A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful and positive. Allow yourself to dream and wish for the best. A. Spend time with your friends or family. B. Express yourself to others. C. Connect with nature. D. Keep away from stress and anxiety. E. Exercise to send oxygen to every cell to the body. F. Choose a correct way to relax. Ⅳ. Outline Writing(8%) Directions: Read the following passage and complete the brief outline that follows. Write no more than 5 words for each blank. “Think green!” We have heard of it many times, but do we understand what it means? Climate change will affect us. our health and the health of the planet, so maybe it’s time to do something about it. A great way to “think green” is to turn off the electronic appliances in our homes and spend time doing other activities instead of watching TV or surfing the Internet. The planet is helped because we are using less energy. And if we are not using our electronic appliances, we will have time to exercise, connect with our friends, and develop other interests and hobbies. We can choose activities that are both enjoyable and kind to the planet. We can use the free time to plant a vegetable garden, which will help both the gardener and the planet. The gardener gets exercise, time outdoors in the fresh air, the satisfaction of raising food, as well as the benefit of eating well. In addition, if you garden organically, you won’t use toxic chemicals and pesticides (杀虫剂). This will help our water cleaner and ensure that small animals, birds, and beneficial insects are not harmed. Gardening is one small way to go green and relieve stress, but you can also encourage environmental responsibility in bigger ways. It is also important to support green projects that help the planet. We can encourage governments and businesses to use energy from solar power or to build fewer roads and more bicycle lanes. Or we can volunteer for projects on our own communities, such as cleaning our green spaces and rivers. In this way, we can get exercise while we work to make a cleaner place to enjoy nature. Supporting and participating in green projects is healthy for us and the planet. We can each have a smart part of the solution to environmental problems. If we start with our everyday choices, we can “think green”, “act green” and “support green.” Through our actions we will perhaps make a difference to both the Earth and ourselves. Outline: I.
