Wanting to make Emma feel at home, Wang Li often helped her with her schoolwork and showed her around the city. One afternoon, Wang Li bought a cake and carefully divided it into two halves with a clean knife. She kept one half for herself and happily offered the other half to Emma, saying, “This is really tasty! Try it!” To Wang Li’s surprise, Emma looked a little uncomfortable and politely refused, “Oh, thank you, but that’s okay. You can keep it for yourself.” Wang Li didn’t know what to say and even felt a little hurt, because in China, sharing food, such as snacks, is a warm way to show one’s politeness and friendship. She thought maybe Emma didn’t like her or the food. Later, Wang Li talked to her English teacher about it. The teacher smiled and explained, “In some Western cultures, offering someone a half-eaten piece of food—even if it was cut with a clean knife—can sometimes be regarded as unhygienic by people who aren’t very close friends. Emma probably didn’t mean to be rude; she might just have different habits.” Wang Li understood Emma’s feelings then. The next day, she brought a whole, untouched cake to Emma. “This one is just for you to try,” she said with a smile. Emma accepted it gladly and thanked her. Wang Li also explained that she just wanted to share something good with Emma. They both laughed about the earlier cultural misunderstanding and learned something new about each other’s local customs. 19. How did Wang Li show her kindness to Emma? A. By sharing a piece of cake. B. By showing her around the school. C. By helping her with her housework. 20 Why did Wang Li feel hurt? A. Because Emma ate all the cake. B. Because Emma tried it quickly. C. Because Emma refused her friendly offer. 21. What does the word “unhygienic” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Not clean. B. Not worth. C. Not direct. 22. What do you think caused the misunderstanding? A. A language mistake. B. Emma’s dislike for Chinese food. C. A difference in food sharing habits. 23. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A Mistake between Two Friends. B. A Small Cake, Big Cultural Difference. C. A Way to Share Things between Friends. (C) 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使其意思通顺，选项中有一项为多余项。 We are often told to work hard. Have you ever wondered if studying too much can be a problem? 24. ____24____ Overlearning means spending a lot more time studying or practicing something than is necessary to just learn it. ____25____ That is overlearning. Some people think overlearning is a good thing. They believe it helps you remember what you learn better and for a longer time. But there can be something bad, too. When you overlearn, you might get really tired and stressed. It can take up so much of your time that you don’t have any left for other activities that you enjoy. Also, if you repeat things many times, you might get bored. ____26____ Another problem is that overlearning can make you think you know something really well. But you might have difficulty working out problems when you use the knowledge in a different situation. ____27____ One way is to set a limit (限制) for yourself on how much time you will spend on one subject or task. Another is to take breaks. This helps your brain rest and be ready to learn more in a faster way when you come back to it. Actually, working hard really matters. ____28____ Remember, there is more to life than just studying! A. Well, let’s talk about overlearning. B. So, how can you avoid overlearning? C. And when you are bored, you can’t pay attention. D. It might make you feel confident about your knowledge. E. But it’s also important to have breaks away from your work. F. For example, you keep memorizing words after mastering them. (D) 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Moments (朋友圈) is one of the much-loved parts of WeChat. Without doubt, Moments is a tool for people to record their life or communicate with others. But do you think parents should be allowed to read through their children’s Moments? Why or why not?

Avoiding disagreement They would have something against my lifestyle or friends. Wanting independence It’s my personal space and I need to keep my own private ideas. Holding different opinions They don’t understand why I like a singing star or why I like to play online games. Chart Ⅱ Why do teenagers stop their parents from visiting their Moments? Let’s listen to the three students’ opinions about it since their opinions may be the most typical ones among teenagers. Along our way of growing up, we might think that we are so independent that we can refuse our parents’ suggestions. However, we may get into trouble because we don’t have enough experience. To avoid this, we should give our parents a place in our online world so that they can give us a hand when necessary. Andy 16 Many students keep themselves away from their parents because of teenage rebellion (叛逆). But at the same time, they want to be understood and get help when in trouble. By visiting our Moments, parents can offer help in time if it is necessary. Welcoming parents to our Moments would make the communication between parents and children smoother. Susan, 17 Everyone needs some private space and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my Moments, they require me to do as they wish, which would make me uncomfortable even though it would show their love and care. Jake, 16 29.
