Because there are many cultural differences, I thought I would often miss my family. But instead, I usually feel just at home. Well, it may sound strange, but I think it’s because my mom is like a Chinese person! When we see each other, the first thing she’ll say is, “Have you eaten?” And even if I have, she’ll make food anyway! When I was growing up, that food was often different from what my friends were eating. In those days, my mom was interested in world foods. She could make Italian, Indian and a number of Chinese dishes. Even when she made more typical (典型的) English soup, there was something a bit Chinese about it. Sometimes I’ll try a dish in China like lamb scorpion (羊蝎子) and think, wow! This is just like my mom’s cooking! English cooking can be boring. But my mom loved mixing all kinds of foods together to create a great flavour. She always tried to make food that my family would love. The food culture in the UK doesn’t seem as big as it is in China. But it was always important in our home. Food was something that brought us together and gave us joy, just as it does here in China. 21. What does the writer think of English cooking? A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Fantastic. D. Strange. 22. Why does the writer feel “just at home” in China? A. Because the weather in China is similar to that in England. B. Because his friends from England are also in China. C. Because his mother’s cooking style is similar to China’s. D. Because his mother also moved to China. 23. What kind of dishes could the writer’s mother cook when he was young? A. Only fast food. B. Only Chinese food. C. Only traditional English food. D. Food from different countries like Italy, India, and China. 24. The meaning of the underlined word “flavour” is close to ________. A. taste B. sight C. touch D. look 25. Which idea do you think the writer might agree with? A. The UK’s food culture is bigger than China’s. B. Chinese dishes are the most popular in the world. C. Food culture is not important in the UK. D. Food can bring people together and give them joy. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 24. A 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位来自英格兰的作者在中国生活的感受，尤其是通过母亲烹饪风格的相似性，感受到家的温暖。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“English cooking can be boring.”可知，作者认为英国烹饪是无聊的。故选B。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段和第二段内容，作者提到母亲的行为和烹饪风格与中国文化相似，例如见面就问“吃了吗”以及烹饪多种中国菜，以及第二段中的“This is just like my mom’s cooking!”可推知，作者感到“像在家一样”是因为母亲的烹饪风格与中国相似。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She could make Italian, Indian and a number of Chinese dishes. Even when she made more typical (典型的) English soup, there was something a bit Chinese about it…”可知，作者的母亲会做来自不同国家的菜肴。故选D。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“my mom loved mixing all kinds of foods together to create a great flavour”可知，我妈妈喜欢混合各种食物来创造一种很棒的风味，可知，“flavour”与“味道”相关。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Food was something that brought us together and gave us joy, just as it does here in China.”可推知，作者认为食物能凝聚家庭并带来快乐。故选D。 C Everyone knows that sleep is important for our health, but do you know that it can also help us learn a new language? A study found that brain activity during sleep is good for our memories. In the study, 35 English speakers learnt a language called Mini Pinyin. About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep in a lab. They were tested the next morning. The scientists found that the people who slept after learning remembered much more while the people who just stayed awake remembered less. When we sleep, our brain goes through different phases (阶段). One of these is called REM sleep. It usually first happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream. Another sleep phase is non-REM sleep. During this time, brain activity is much lower. But our brain sorts and saves new information. This is because of two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short term memory part to the long-term memory part. Scott Cousins worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep is important for remembering difficult information, such as a new language. “ ▲ It’s also an important time for the brain to change and grow,” he said. So, if you want to improve your English skills, the key might be going to bed! 26. Which is TRUE about the 35 people in the study? A. Some learnt Chinese but others learnt English. B. Some learnt a language at home but others learnt in a lab. C. Some did the test after sleeping but others didn’t. D. Some learnt an easy language but others learnt a hard one. 27. What happens during the non-REM sleep? A. Brain activity is much higher. B. The brain sorts and saves new information. C. Many people dream during the phase. D. The brain stops dealing with new information. 28. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Brain activities. B. Brain waves. C. Different phases of sleep. D. Different parts of the brain. 29. Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A. Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. B. Sleep is not important in our daily lives. C. It’s necessary for us to study hard. D. REM sleep and non-REM sleep are both important. 30. What’s the best title of this passage? A. How to Learn a New Language B. The Importance of Sleep in Memory C. How to Sleep Well D. The Science of Dreaming During REM Sleep 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项科学研究发现：睡眠对于学习和记忆新语言具有重要作用，并介绍了睡眠的不同阶段 (REM睡眠和非REM睡眠) 对记忆处理的影响。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep in a lab. They were tested the next morning.”可知，一部分人学习后保持清醒并测试，另一部分人学习后睡觉再测试。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Another sleep phase is non-REM sleep. During this time…our brain sorts and saves new information.”可知，在非REM睡眠阶段，大脑会整理和储存新信息。故选B。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This is because of two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information…”可知，“They”指代前一句提到的“two kinds of brain waves” (两种脑电波) 。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据Scott Cousins所说“…sleep is important for remembering difficult information…”以及后文“It’s also an important time for the brain to change and grow”可知，此处应强调睡眠不仅是休息，还对记忆和大脑发育很重要。选项A“对我们来说睡眠不仅是休息”符合语境。故选A。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕睡眠对语言学习和记忆的重要性展开，结合研究说明睡眠阶段如何帮助记忆巩固，因此最佳标题应为“睡眠在记忆中的重要性”。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯(选项中有一项多余) My mom thinks keeping a pet at home can bring lots of happiness But what’s the pet’s favourite food?

How does it taste?”以及后文“They can’t talk.”可知，此处应表达“宠物很难回答这些问题”。选项C“宠物很难回答这些问题”恰好承接上文，引出宠物无法表达口味，因此需要有人品尝。故选C。 【32题详解】 根据前文“Allison works at a pet food company in London.”及后文“Every morning, he goes to his office early.

Because there are many cultural differences, I thought I would often miss my family. But instead, I usually feel just at home. Well, it may sound strange, but I think it’s because my mom is like a Chinese person! When we see each other, the first thing she’ll say is, “Have you eaten?” And even if I have, she’ll make food anyway! When I was growing up, that food was often different from what my friends were eating. In those days, my mom was interested in world foods. She could make Italian, Indian and a number of Chinese dishes. Even when she made more typical (典型的) English soup, there was something a bit Chinese about it. Sometimes I’ll try a dish in China like lamb scorpion (羊蝎子) and think, wow! This is just like my mom’s cooking! English cooking can be boring. But my mom loved mixing all kinds of foods together to create a great flavour. She always tried to make food that my family would love. The food culture in the UK doesn’t seem as big as it is in China. But it was always important in our home. Food was something that brought us together and gave us joy, just as it does here in China. 21. What does the writer think of English cooking? A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Fantastic. D. Strange. 22. Why does the writer feel “just at home” in China? A. Because the weather in China is similar to that in England. B. Because his friends from England are also in China. C. Because his mother’s cooking style is similar to China’s. D. Because his mother also moved to China. 23. What kind of dishes could the writer’s mother cook when he was young? A. Only fast food. B Only Chinese food. C. Only traditional English food. D. Food from different countries like Italy, India, and China. 24. The meaning of the underlined word “flavour” is close to ________. A. taste B. sight C. touch D. look 25. Which idea do you think the writer might agree with? A. The UK’s food culture is bigger than China’s. B. Chinese dishes are the most popular in the world. C. Food culture is not important in the UK. D. Food can bring people together and give them joy. C Everyone knows that sleep is important for our health, but do you know that it can also help us learn a new language? A study found that brain activity during sleep is good for our memories. In the study, 35 English speakers learnt a language called Mini Pinyin. About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep in a lab. They were tested the next morning. The scientists found that the people who slept after learning remembered much more while the people who just stayed awake remembered less. When we sleep, our brain goes through different phases (阶段). One of these is called REM sleep. It usually first happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream. Another sleep phase is non-REM sleep. During this time brain activity is much lower. But our brain sorts and saves new information. This is because of two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short term memory part to the long-term memory part. Scott Cousins worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep is important for remembering difficult information, such as a new language. “ ▲ It’s also an important time for the brain to change and grow,” he said. So, if you want to improve your English skills, the key might be going to bed! 26. Which is TRUE about the 35 people in the study? A. Some learnt Chinese but others learnt English. B. Some learnt a language at home but others learnt in a lab. C. Some did the test after sleeping but others didn’t. D. Some learnt an easy language but others learnt a hard one. 27. What happens during the non-REM sleep? A. Brain activity is much higher. B. The brain sorts and saves new information. C. Many people dream during the phase. D The brain stops dealing with new information. 28. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Brain activities. B. Brain waves. C. Different phases of sleep. D. Different parts of the brain. 29. Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A. Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. B. Sleep is not important in our daily lives. C. It’s necessary for us to study hard. D. REM sleep and non-REM sleep are both important. 30. What’s the best title of this passage? A. How to Learn a New Language B. The Importance of Sleep in Memory C. How to Sleep Well D.

Some enjoy visiting big cities, while others love exploring mountains and lakes. Both travel ways are fun and interesting. Many people think big cities are wonderful places for a holiday. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or even foreign ones like Tokyo and Paris have a lot to offer. Travelers can visit famous landmarks, such as towers, museums, and shopping centers. They can also try different kinds of food and watch interesting shows. City trips are usually convenient (方便的). Public transport like buses and subways makes it easy to get around.
