In an international spelling contest (竞赛) in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 16 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 17 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 18 the word, but instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 19 letter — so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 20 , the entire audience stood to their feet, clapping (鼓掌) to applaud her 21 .

It’s so true that the choices you make today 32 you what you are tomorrow. Our children will 33 our behavior much more than our advice. So if we want them to 34 to be honest, we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember, our kids are 35 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.

It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in.
So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a fierce argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
41.Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A.She felt it hard to finish the race. B.She had no time to join in the event.
C.She thought the research meaningless. D.She was reminded of her mother's death.
42.What does the underlined word “prick” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Hurt. B.Lose. C.Win. D.Warm.
43.What mainly helped the author recover from her mum’s death?
A.The company of her friends. B.The inspiration from her mum.
C.The pleasure in going for a run. D.The success in organizing an event.
44.Which of the words can best describe the author’s mum?
A.Considerate and polite. B.Brave and humorous.
C.Strong-willed and caring. D.Outgoing and patient.
45.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.How I Got Healed in Running B.The Loss of Sweet memories
C.What Matters Most in Running D.The Benefits of Mothers’ love
C
An interesting scientific finding that challenges common beliefs is that eating chocolate can actually be good for you. For a long time, people thought chocolate was just a sweet treat that could make them gain weight and harm their teeth. However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts.
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基). Consuming foods high in antioxidants can help maintain a healthy heart and reduce the risk of certain diseases. Researchers have discovered that the specific types of antioxidants in dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
So, how can this knowledge be used in our day-to-day lives? First, it’s important to choose dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Higher cocoa content means more antioxidants the chocolate contains. Second, consuming it in limited amounts is important. Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories.
Another way to apply this knowledge is by eating dark chocolate when you have a desire for sweets. Instead of choosing sugary milk chocolate or candy, a piece of dark chocolate can satisfy your sweet tooth while being healthier. Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases. This discovery about dark chocolate can encourage students to learn more about the health benefits and downsides of other foods.
The idea that all chocolate is unhealthy is challenged by the discovery that dark chocolate can be part of a health y diet. Choosing the right chocolate and eating it in moderation (适度) lets people enjoy its taste and health benefits. This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health.
46.What does recent research say about chocolate?
A.It’s only for kids. B.It can be healthy.
C.It’s made from milk. D.It’s good in big amounts.
47.What can antioxidants help prevent?
A.Hunger. B.Feeling uninterested.
C.Sleepiness: D.Damage from free radicals.
48.What is the main reason for eating dark chocolate in limited amounts?
A.It also contains calories and fat. B.It can make you very energetic.
C.It has high levels of caffeine. D.It’s too expensive.
49.Why might teachers discuss dark chocolate in nutrition lessons?
A.To show not all sugary foods are harmful.
B.To encourage the daily intake of chocolate.
C.To frighten students about health risks.
D.To argue against eating any sweets.
50.What does the passage suggest about our understanding of food and health?
A.It is unchanging and inflexible. B.It is less important than taste.
C.It can develop with new studies. D.It has been completely understood.
D
In 1999, Google hired its 53rd employee called Charlie Ayers. This employee was unique. He didn’t develop software, nor did he have business knowledge. In fact, he just worked for a famous band. But Charlie won a cooking competition held by the company. Then, he became the company’s chef. He would help Google feed its employees. Since then, Google’s policy of free snacks has been copied.
This policy may make sense for some companies since employees don’t need to travel far to eat. The companies think it can also improve traffic during lunch hour. But firms’ free-snack policy has been attacked by politicians. They believe it extremely reduces the number of customers of local restaurants, which causes many of them to break down and eventually harms the relevant industries. So officials are preventing Facebook opening a canteen at its new campus.
There have been many theories explaining what motivates firms to provide free snacks. Some argue it’s a firm’s dirty trick to keep workers working for longer hours. Others argue it’s about helping the firm attract talents. Still others say rich firms are just generous and that their generosity, in turn, makes their workers happier and more productive. All of these may contribute to the firms’ free snacks.
Google says its food system is about promoting teamwork and creativity. The idea is that it provides chances to bond and exchange ideas when employees randomly meet and eat together. This. they believe, encourages creativity. While free snacks might increase the amount of time employees spend in the office, the theory that it increases creativity lacks evidence. Actually, evidence suggests unlimited candy and chips in the break room will affect people’s cognitive (认知的) performance, which might eventually prevent workers from thinking intelligently. It’s no wonder that some Google’s competitors rejected the food policy.
If companies want workers to exchange ideas, regular meals can make it. A better food system for companies is one where workers would be given a gift card for food purchases. Some colleges have a similar food system, which offers discount to fruit and vegetables and places an extra cost on junk food — junk food, after all, could end up increasing the company’s health insurance bills.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The same is true for snacks.
51.Why does the author mention Charlie Ayers in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the background of the passage.
B.To expand understanding of the topic.
C.To lead into the topic of the passage.
D.To show the structure of the passage.
52.What do politicians think of firms’ free-snack policy?
A.It does increase the employees’ creativity.
B.It’s beneficial to local transportation.
C.It brings negative effect on local restaurants.
D.It strengthens the unity of the firms’ employees.
53.What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The importance of the free-snack policy.
B.The possible causes of some firms’ free-snack policy.
C.The benefits of free-snack policy to workers.
D.The oppositions to the free-snack policy.
54.Why do some companies decline the free snack policy?
A.They think it weakens employees’ creativity.
B.They consider it a big financial burden.
C.They are unaware of its positive influence.
D.They find it unattractive to many employees.
55.Which of the following will the author agree with?
A.Companies should increase their insurance bills on workers.
B.Colleges’ food systems tend to be superior to companies’.
C.Free snacks are unnecessary in the companies.
D.A good food system can give discounts to any food.
第二部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
“I don’t like it,” my daughter said, spitting her spinach (菠菜) onto her plate. “I want nuggets (消块).” Determined not to give in to picky eating, I stayed firm. Unhealthy food, I believed, should be for special occasions. “Mommy worked hard to make you a nutritious (有营养的) meal. Please eat it.” I begged, exhausted after her fourth refusal this week.
“No!” she shouted, tossing her food on the floor. “My friends get whatever they want for dinner. I hate you!” I felt like a failure as a parent. Taking a deep breath, I gave her a serious look. “Come on, you know the rule.”“Yes, I should try everything three times,” she replied, rolling her eyes. “That’s right,” I said kindly. “So two more bites.”
My mother had a rule: try every food three times. The first time to try it, the second to get over the first reaction, and the third to see if you really didn’t like it. If I still hated it, she wouldn’t make me eat it again. This approach worked for me, except with liver and bananas.
I used the same rule with my daughter. A smile appeared on my face as I watched her swallow her second bite of spinach and then open her mouth for the third. She ate her final bite, and my thoughts wandered to how the“three times rule” had impacted my life.
This rule gave me the courage to face fears, from public speaking to career changes. My life has been fuller because of it. If I hadn’t tried everything three times, I wouldn’t be a writer today. After two rejections, I tried a third time and have been happily writing ever since. My daughter, once a picky eater, is now a vegetarian who loves spinach.
56.Why did the author insist on her daughter eating spinach? (no more than 10 words)
57.What does the underlined word “tossing” mean in Paragraph Two? (One word)
58.What was the mother’s rule for trying new food? (no more than 5 words)

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从16-35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In an international spelling contest (竞赛) in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 16 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 17 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 18 the word, but instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 19 letter — so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 20 , the entire audience stood to their feet, clapping (鼓掌) to applaud her 21 . Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s good quality, even when it 22 her the contest. But the fact is that she 23 the biggest contest that day: the contest of her 24 .
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we should do if we knew we would never get 25 . This young girl could easily have 26 and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you 27 , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to 28 her own conscience (良知) and character more than the prize from a spelling 29 . Her pride was more important than any 30 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to 31 herself and the choice she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today 32 you what you are tomorrow. Our children will 33 our behavior much more than our advice. So if we want them to 34 to be honest, we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember, our kids are 35 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.

It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in.
So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a fierce argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
41.Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A.She felt it hard to finish the race. B.She had no time to join in the event.
C.She thought the research meaningless. D.She was reminded of her mother's death.
42.What does the underlined word “prick” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Hurt. B.Lose. C.Win. D.Warm.
43.What mainly helped the author recover from her mum’s death?
A.The company of her friends. B.The inspiration from her mum.
C.The pleasure in going for a run. D.The success in organizing an event.
44.Which of the words can best describe the author’s mum?
A.Considerate and polite. B.Brave and humorous.
C.Strong-willed and caring. D.Outgoing and patient.
45.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.How I Got Healed in Running B.The Loss of Sweet memories
C.What Matters Most in Running D.The Benefits of Mothers’ love
【答案】41.D 42.A 43.B 44.C 45.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在母亲去世后,通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲,逐渐走出悲伤,找到内心的平静的故事。
41.细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(妈妈去世后一周,我不知道该如何继续生活。所以,当我收到朋友发来的一封关于一场有益于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时,我忽略了它。这似乎刺痛了我的心,因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知,作者一开始忽略那封邮件是因为这让作者想起了母亲的去世。故选D。
42.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it.(那是我妈妈去世一周后,我不知道该如何继续生活。因此,当我收到一位朋友发来的关于一场有利于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时,我忽略了它。)”以及下文“as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知,作者在母亲去世一周后收到了一封邮件,是关于有利于癌症研究的比赛,而作者的母亲就是死于癌症,由此可推测,这封邮件刺痛了作者的内心,让作者难过、伤心;“prick”意思是“刺痛,使痛心”,与hurt意思相近。故选A。
43.细节理解题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.(她是那种永不放弃的人。正是这种精神帮助我度过难关。)”可知,是母亲永不放弃的精神激励了作者,帮助作者从母亲去世的伤痛中恢复过来。故选B。
44.推理判断题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up.(她是那种永不放弃的人。)”可知,作者的母亲意志坚强;根据第六段“I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.(当我想起妈妈被诊断出癌症后说的话时,我正想痛打自己一顿。‘我不想让你对任何事情感到后悔。’她那双薄如纸的手紧紧地抓着我。我肩上的重担减轻了。)”可知,作者的母亲很爱作者,是一个有爱心的人;由此可知,最能描述作者母亲的词是“意志坚强且有爱心的”。故选C。
45.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.(当比赛那天到来的时候,我为我的妈妈付出了我的一切,为了她教给我的一切,也为了她继续教给我的一切。当我跑步的时候,每当我想慢下来的时候,我就会想象她为我加油。冲过终点线时,我心中充满了她的爱和一种平和的感觉。)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者在母亲去世后非常难过,不知道该如何继续生活,而通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲,作者逐渐走出悲伤,找到内心的平静的故事;由此可知,选项A“How I Got Healed in Running(我是如何在跑步中治愈的)”最符合文章主旨,最适合作为本文标题。故选A。
C
An interesting scientific finding that challenges common beliefs is that eating chocolate can actually be good for you. For a long time, people thought chocolate was just a sweet treat that could make them gain weight and harm their teeth. However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts.
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基). Consuming foods high in antioxidants can help maintain a healthy heart and reduce the risk of certain diseases. Researchers have discovered that the specific types of antioxidants in dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
So, how can this knowledge be used in our day-to-day lives? First, it’s important to choose dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Higher cocoa content means more antioxidants the chocolate contains. Second, consuming it in limited amounts is important. Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories.
Another way to apply this knowledge is by eating dark chocolate when you have a desire for sweets. Instead of choosing sugary milk chocolate or candy, a piece of dark chocolate can satisfy your sweet tooth while being healthier. Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases. This discovery about dark chocolate can encourage students to learn more about the health benefits and downsides of other foods.
The idea that all chocolate is unhealthy is challenged by the discovery that dark chocolate can be part of a health y diet. Choosing the right chocolate and eating it in moderation (适度) lets people enjoy its taste and health benefits. This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health.
46.What does recent research say about chocolate?
A.It’s only for kids. B.It can be healthy.
C.It’s made from milk. D.It’s good in big amounts.
47.What can antioxidants help prevent?
A.Hunger. B.Feeling uninterested.
C.Sleepiness: D.Damage from free radicals.
48.What is the main reason for eating dark chocolate in limited amounts?
A.It also contains calories and fat. B.It can make you very energetic.
C.It has high levels of caffeine. D.It’s too expensive.
49.Why might teachers discuss dark chocolate in nutrition lessons?
A.To show not all sugary foods are harmful.
B.To encourage the daily intake of chocolate.
C.To frighten students about health risks.
D.To argue against eating any sweets.
50.What does the passage suggest about our understanding of food and health?
A.It is unchanging and inflexible. B.It is less important than taste.
C.It can develop with new studies. D.It has been completely understood.
【答案】46.B 47.D 48.A 49.A 50.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现黑巧克力有益健康,含抗氧化剂,适量食用为宜,可用于教学,说明科学发现能重塑对食物与健康的认知。
46.细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts.(然而,最近的研究发现,特别是黑巧克力,少量食用会有一些健康益处)”可知,近期研究表明巧克力(尤其是黑巧克力)可能是健康的。故选B项。
47.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基).(黑巧克力富含抗氧化剂。这些物质可以保护你的身体免受被称为自由基的有害微粒造成的损害)”可知,抗氧化剂有助于防止自由基带来的损害。故选D项。
48.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories.(尽管黑巧克力对你的健康有好处,但它也含有卡路里和脂肪。每周几次吃一小块黑巧克力,就可以享受它的健康益处,而不需要额外的卡路里)”可知,限量食用黑巧克力是因为它含有卡路里和脂肪。故选A项。
49.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases.(教师可以用这个例子来教学生营养和从整体上看待食物的价值。仅仅因为某物含有糖并不意味着它在所有情况下都是坏的)”可推知,教师在营养课上讨论黑巧克力是为了说明并非所有含糖食物都有害。故选A项。
50.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health.(这表明科学发现如何能够重塑我们对食物和健康的理解)” 可推知,文章表明我们对食物和健康的理解会随着新研究而发展。故选C项。

In 1999, Google hired its 53rd employee called Charlie Ayers. This employee was unique. He didn’t develop software, nor did he have business knowledge. In fact, he just worked for a famous band. But Charlie won a cooking competition held by the company. Then, he became the company’s chef. He would help Google feed its employees. Since then, Google’s policy of free snacks has been copied.
This policy may make sense for some companies since employees don’t need to travel far to eat. The companies think it can also improve traffic during lunch hour. But firms’ free-snack policy has been attacked by politicians. They believe it extremely reduces the number of customers of local restaurants, which causes many of them to break down and eventually harms the relevant industries. So officials are preventing Facebook opening a canteen at its new campus.
There have been many theories explaining what motivates firms to provide free snacks. Some argue it’s a firm’s dirty trick to keep workers working for longer hours. Others argue it’s about helping the firm attract talents. Still others say rich firms are just generous and that their generosity, in turn, makes their workers happier and more productive. All of these may contribute to the firms’ free snacks.
Google says its food system is about promoting teamwork and creativity. The idea is that it provides chances to bond and exchange ideas when employees randomly meet and eat together. This. they believe, encourages creativity. While free snacks might increase the amount of time employees spend in the office, the theory that it increases creativity lacks evidence. Actually, evidence suggests unlimited candy and chips in the break room will affect people’s cognitive (认知的) performance, which might eventually prevent workers from thinking intelligently. It’s no wonder that some Google’s competitors rejected the food policy.
If companies want workers to exchange ideas, regular meals can make it. A better food system for companies is one where workers would be given a gift card for food purchases. Some colleges have a similar food system, which offers discount to fruit and vegetables and places an extra cost on junk food — junk food, after all, could end up increasing the company’s health insurance bills.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The same is true for snacks.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了公司为员工提供免费零食的政策及其影响和争议。
51.推理判断题。根据第一段中“In 1999, Google hired its 53rd employee called Charlie Ayers. This employee was unique. He didn’t develop software, nor did he have business knowledge. In fact, he just worked for a famous band. But Charlie won a cooking competition held by the company. Then, he became the company’s chef. He would help Google feed its employees. Since then, Google’s policy of free snacks has been copied. (1999年,谷歌雇佣了第53名员工,名叫查理·艾尔斯。这个员工很特别。他既没有开发软件,也没有商业知识。事实上,他只是为一个著名乐队工作。但查理赢得了公司举办的烹饪比赛。然后,他成为了公司的厨师。他将帮助谷歌为员工提供食物。从那时起,谷歌的免费零食政策就被其他公司效仿)”结合下文对公司免费零食政策的讨论可知,作者在第一段提到查理·艾尔斯是为了引出文章的主题,即公司为员工提供免费零食的政策。故选C。
52.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But firms’ free-snack policy has been attacked by politicians. They believe it extremely reduces the number of customers of local restaurants, which causes many of them to break down and eventually harms the relevant industries. (但公司的免费零食政策遭到了政客们的抨击。他们认为,这极大地减少了当地餐馆的顾客数量,导致其中许多餐馆倒闭,最终损害了相关产业)”可知,政客们认为公司的免费零食政策对当地餐馆产生了负面影响。故选C。
53.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“There have been many theories explaining what motivates firms to provide free snacks. Some argue it’s a firm’s dirty trick to keep workers working for longer hours. Others argue it’s about helping the firm attract talents. Still others say rich firms are just generous and that their generosity, in turn, makes their workers happier and more productive. (有许多理论解释了是什么促使公司提供免费零食。一些人认为,这是公司让员工工作更长时间的肮脏伎俩。另一些人则认为,这是为了帮助公司吸引人才。还有一些人说,富裕的公司只是慷慨大方,而他们的慷慨反过来又让员工更快乐、更有效率)”可知,第三段主要讨论了一些公司提供免费零食政策的可能原因。故选B。
54.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Actually, evidence suggests unlimited candy and chips in the break room will affect people’s cognitive (认知的) performance , which might eventually prevent workers from thinking intelligently. It’s no wonder that some Google’s competitors rejected the food policy. (事实上,有证据表明,休息室里无限的糖果和薯片会影响人们的认知表现,这最终可能会阻止员工进行智能思考。难怪谷歌的一些竞争对手拒绝了这项食品政策)”可知,一些公司拒绝免费零食政策是因为他们认为这会削弱员工的创造力。故选A。
55.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If companies want workers to exchange ideas, regular meals can make it. A better food system for companies is one where workers would be given a gift card for food purchases. Some colleges have a similar food system, which offers discount to fruit and vegetables and places an extra cost on junk food — junk food, after all, could end up increasing the company’s health insurance bills. (如果公司希望员工交流想法,定期聚餐就能实现这一点。对公司来说,更好的餐饮制度是为员工提供用于购买食品的礼品卡。一些大学有类似的餐饮制度,对水果和蔬菜提供折扣,对垃圾食品则收取额外费用 —— 毕竟,垃圾食品最终可能会增加公司的健康保险费用)”及最后一段“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The same is true for snacks. (天下没有免费的午餐。零食也是如此)”可知,作者认为公司为员工提供免费零食并不是一件好事。由此推知,作者认为公司提供免费零食是没有必要的。故选C。
第二部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
“I don’t like it,” my daughter said, spitting her spinach (菠菜) onto her plate. “I want nuggets (消块).” Determined not to give in to picky eating, I stayed firm. Unhealthy food, I believed, should be for special occasions. “Mommy worked hard to make you a nutritious (有营养的) meal. Please eat it.” I begged, exhausted after her fourth refusal this week.
“No!” she shouted, tossing her food on the floor. “My friends get whatever they want for dinner. I hate you!” I felt like a failure as a parent. Taking a deep breath, I gave her a serious look. “Come on, you know the rule.”“Yes, I should try everything three times,” she replied, rolling her eyes. “That’s right,” I said kindly. “So two more bites.”
My mother had a rule: try every food three times. The first time to try it, the second to get over the first reaction, and the third to see if you really didn’t like it. If I still hated it, she wouldn’t make me eat it again. This approach worked for me, except with liver and bananas.
I used the same rule with my daughter. A smile appeared on my face as I watched her swallow her second bite of spinach and then open her mouth for the third. She ate her final bite, and my thoughts wandered to how the“three times rule” had impacted my life.
This rule gave me the courage to face fears, from public speaking to career changes. My life has been fuller because of it. If I hadn’t tried everything three times, I wouldn’t be a writer today. After two rejections, I tried a third time and have been happily writing ever since. My daughter, once a picky eater, is now a vegetarian who loves spinach.
56.Why did the author insist on her daughter eating spinach? (no more than 10 words)
57.What does the underlined word “tossing” mean in Paragraph Two? (One word)
58.What was the mother’s rule for trying new food? (no more than 5 words)
59.How did the “three times rule” affect the author’s life? (no more than 15 words)
60.Have you used the “three times rule” in your life? Please give an example. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56.Because it is nutritious. 57.Throwing. 58.Try every food three times. 59.It gave her courage to face fears and helped her become a writer. 60.Yes. I didn’t like running at first, but after trying three times, I liked running.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了当面对不爱吃菠菜的女儿时,作为母亲的作者使用了自己独特的“三次法则”。
56.考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Unhealthy food, I believed, should be for special occasions. “Mommy worked hard to make you a nutritious (有营养的) meal. Please eat it.”(我认为,不健康的食物应该适合特殊场合。“妈妈很辛苦才给你做了一顿有营养的饭菜。请吃掉它。”)”可知,作者坚持让女儿吃菠菜,是因为菠菜有营养,故填Because it is nutritious.
57.考查词句猜测。根据划线单词所在句子““No!” she shouted, tossing her food on the floor.(“不!”她喊道,把食物tossing地板上)”可知,女儿拒绝吃菠菜,很生气,由此推知,将食物扔在地板上,划线单词意为“扔”,故填Throwing。
58.考查细节理解。根据第三段中“My mother had a rule: try every food three times. (我妈妈有一个规矩:每种食物都尝试三遍)”可知,母亲尝试新食物的规则是:每种食物都尝试三遍。故填Try every food three times.
59.考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“This rule gave me the courage to face fears, from public speaking to career changes. My life has been fuller because of it. If I hadn’t tried everything three times, I wouldn’t be a writer today. (这条规则让我有勇气面对恐惧,从公开演讲到职业转变。我的生活因此变得更加充实。如果我没有把所有事情都尝试三遍,我今天就不会成为一名作家)”可知,这条规则让作者有勇气面对恐惧,并成为一名作家,故填It gave her courage to face fears and helped her become a writer.
60.开放性试题。言之有理即可,注意词数限制。问题是:你在生活中运用过“三次法则”吗?请举个例子。可以回答为:是的。我原来不喜欢跑步,但是在尝试三遍后开始喜欢上跑步。故填Yes. I didn’t like running at first, but after trying three times, I liked running.
