We use sunny fields to grow vegetables like tomatoes and carrots all year. During the tour, you’ll see these fields under bright sunlight, which helps the plants grow strong. Many people think we use lamps indoors, but no, it’s all natural light outside. You’ll also taste some fresh snacks we make from the harvest. Though drinks aren’t included, bring your own water. Next week we’re starting a bird watching event by the lake. It’s a fun way to see local birds, not fish like some asked about. So enjoy the tour, try the snacks and come back for the birds. 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 Music is an international language, spanning (跨越) cultures across the world, and, in fact, across time, Looking at today’s musical landscape, certain cities truly stand out for their music scenes.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and their write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems.

He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raise dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind”in my class; being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出)and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place: If Louis could find his “Way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?” I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to ‘me the next day-. with an “A”on it.

Silences may be thoughtful or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as uncomfortable. Therefore, they attempt to fill every gap. People in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating, as traditional Chinese and Thai people do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people. For example, Russian, French and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients experience. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help patients. 28. What can we learn about silence in conversations from Paragraph 1? A. It varies with culture. B. It is a sign of boredom. C. It improves friendship. D. It is used to show anger. 29. Which of the following groups might use silence to show agreement? A. The Chinese. B. The Thais. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians. 30. What should nurses do about silence according to the text? A. Break it as soon as possible. B. Let it go as the patients please. C. Use its value to help patients. D. Explain its harm to their patients. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Usages of Silence B. Different Meanings of Silence C. Sounds and Silence D. Silence Is Gold in Some Cultures 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry.(沉默的含义因文化群体而异。当一个人无话可说时，沉默可能是深思熟虑的，也可能是空洞的。谈话中的沉默也可能表示不安或担心。)”可知，从第一段中我们可以了解到对话中的沉默因文化而异。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“For example, Russian, French and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement about the topic under discussion.(例如，俄罗斯人、法国人和西班牙人可能会用沉默来表示对正在讨论的话题的一致意见。)”可知，俄罗斯人用沉默来表示同意。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help patients.(懂得沉默的治愈价值的护士可以用这种理解来帮助病人。)”可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种价值来帮助病人。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.(沉默的含义因文化群体而异。)”可知， 本文主要讲的是沉默的含义因文化群体而异，所以短文的最佳标题是B选项“Different Meanings of Silence(沉默的不同含义)”。故选B。 D There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structures in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study some subjects if they did not have to. 32. Open education allows the students to _______ . A. grow as the educated B. be responsible for their future C. develop their own interests D. discover subjects outside class 33. Some students will do little in an open classroom because _______ . A. there are too few rules B. they hate activities C. they are tired of learning D. they worry about the rules 34.

The writer thinks that open education is a good idea in practice. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章客观分析了开放式教育的利弊，阐述了人们对于开放式教育的看法。而作者认为开放教育是个不错的主意，但从理论上来说是如此。但实际上，它在真实的课堂或学校中可能效果并不理想。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. (这种教学方式能让学生们在成长过程中不断完善自我，并在众多学科领域培养起自己的兴趣爱好。)”可知，开放式教育可以让学生们发展自己的兴趣爱好。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. (对于一些学生来说，规则太少了。这些学生在学校里几乎不会有什么作为。)”可知， 开放式教育规则很少，对于一些学生来说几乎没有约束，从而使得这些学生在学校里几乎不会有什么作为。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. (关于开放式教育的最后一点是，一些传统教师并不喜欢这种模式。许多教师并不认同开放教育的理念。那些希望拥有开放课堂的教师可能会在他们的学校遇到诸多问题。)”可知，文章中分别提及了A项“Some traditional teachers do not like it. (一些传统教师并不喜欢这种做法。)”，B项“Many teachers do not believe in open education. (许多教师不相信开放教育。)”，C项“Teachers may have problems in open classrooms. (在开放课堂中，教师可能会遇到一些问题。)”，而 D项“The teacher’s feelings and attitudes are important to the students. (老师的感受和态度对学生很重要。)”在文中没有提及。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章核心话题为“open education (开放式教育)”，同时结合末尾段内容“Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. (它的一些优点和缺点已经得到了解释。你可能对开放教育有自己的看法。笔者认为开放教育是一个好主意，但只是在理论上。事实上，它在真实的课堂或学校可能效果不佳。)”可知，文章客观分析了开放式教育的利弊，阐述人们对于开放式教育不应该满盘接受，开放式教育的理念在执行上是有一定困难的。选项A“Open education is a really complex idea. (开放式教育是一个非常复杂的概念。)”是对文章的最好总结。故选A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。 Reading is not just an important professional skill.

(只需把这些词划出来或列成清单)能够衔接上文，给出具体操作，且与下文“When you reach a good stopping point, return to each word and look it up, re-reading the sentence it appeared in.(当你找到合适的停顿点时，回到每个单词并查找它，重新阅读它出现过的句子)” 形成先后步骤，符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Particularly if you are a fan of novels and short stories, becoming familiar with common literary tools like metaphor, simile, parallel structure and personification is an important part boing a better reader.( 特别是如果你是小说和短篇小说的粉丝，熟悉常用的文学工具，如隐喻、明喻、平行结构和拟人是成为一个更好的读者的重要组成部分)”可知，阅读时，要熟悉比喻、拟人等文学手法。由此可知，E项Understanding them can enrich the reading experience greatly.(理解这些手法能极大丰富阅读体验)能够衔接上文，说明其好处，符合语境。故选。 【40题详解】 根据本段标题“Don’t rush.(不要急于求成)”及上文“Reading for learning and enjoyment is never a sprint (冲刺). Instead, take your time, advance your skills and their development at your own pace.(为了学习和享受而阅读绝不是一蹴而就。相反，花点时间，按照自己的节奏提升自己的技能和发展)”可知，阅读不能急于求成，要按自己节奏来。由此可知，F项Do not get discouraged if you are a slow reader, especially at first.(如果读得慢，尤其起初，别气馁)能够衔接上文，正面安慰初学者，与“take your time”同义呼应，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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Alice is a student who came to my class last year.

He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried. One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step. As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks. “Emily, what are you doing here?” Mr Jackson asked, surprised. Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.” “Why don’t you go home?” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing. “I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.” Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on. Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet. Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action.

Mr Jackson promised to help them in any way he could. He said to her, “If you don’t mind, Emily can stay with me at my house until you find a house.” Emily’s mother agreed. Mr Jackson took Emily to shop for new clothes first and then took her home. He helped Emily catch up on her studies every day. Soon, Emily’s grades improved, and she started to come out of her shell, making new friends at school. Meanwhile, Emily’s mother managed to find a job and a house.  Paragraph 2: One day, Emily’s mother came to Mr Jackson’s house to pick Emily up. She thanked Mr Jackson for everything he had done for them with tears in her eyes. Mr Jackson smiled and said, “You don’t have to thank me. It’s my pleasure to help you and Emily.” Emily hugged her teacher and said, “Thank you, Mr Jackson. You’re the best!” Mr Jackson hugged her back, feeling the warmth and a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He had made a difference to Emily’s life, and that was all that mattered to him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克逊先生总是很关心他的学生，尤其是那些需要帮助的学生。当他发现学生艾米丽家遇到了困难，杰克逊先生及时提供了帮助，收留艾米丽在自家居住和学习，得到了艾米丽和母亲的感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，杰克逊先生去看艾米丽的母亲。”可知，第一段可描写杰克逊先生提出让艾米丽和自己住一起。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天，艾米丽的妈妈来杰克逊先生家接艾米丽”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽母亲表达感谢以及对艾米丽的影响。 2.续写线索：看望艾米丽母亲——提出艾米丽和自己住——艾米丽成绩提高——母亲来接艾米丽——表达感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help/give a hand 开始：start/begin 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 满足：satisfaction /content 荣幸：pleasure/honor 【点睛】[高分句型1] Soon, Emily’s grades improved, and she started to come out of her shell, making new friends at school.

The greatest classical composers — from Mozart to Haydn to Beethoven to Mahler — all lived and worked in Vienna at one point or another.

B At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断)with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and their write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man. ” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it homie. In the quietness of my bedroom; the ‘story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raise dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind”in my class; being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出)and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place: If Louis could find his “Way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?” I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to ‘me the next day-. with an “A”on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:. “See what you can do when you keep trying?” 24. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because . A. He was new to the class B.

Encouraging 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The disabled should be treated with respect. B. A teacher can open up a new world to students. C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. C The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as uncomfortable. Therefore, they attempt to fill every gap. People in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating, as traditional Chinese and Thai people do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways particularly when dealing with conflicts among people. For example, Russian, French and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients experience. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help patients. 28. What can we learn about silence in conversations from Paragraph 1? A. It varies with culture. B. It is a sign of boredom. C. It improves friendship. D. It is used to show anger. 29. Which of the following groups might use silence to show agreement? A. The Chinese. B. The Thais. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians. 30. What should nurses do about silence according to the text? A. Break it as soon as possible. B. Let it go as the patients please. C. Use its value to help patients. D. Explain its harm to their patients. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Usages of Silence B. Different Meanings of Silence C. Sounds and Silence D. Silence Is Gold in Some Cultures D There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structures in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study some subjects if they did not have to. 32.

He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried. One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step. As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks. “Emily, what are you doing here?” Mr Jackson asked, surprised. Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.” “Why don’t you go home?” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing. “I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.” Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on. Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet. Mr Jackson listened carefully.

Few years ago, visitors couldn't see much because our gardens were small and only had flowers, but now we've made big changes. We use Sunny fields to grow vegetables like tomatoes and carrots.

You'll also taste some fresh legs we make from the harvest. Those drinks, orange included, bring your own water. Next week we're starting a bird watching event by the lake is a fun way to see local birds, not fish like some asked about. So enjoy the tour, try the snacks and come back for the birds.
