When the man came to the pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the barkeeper said to him, “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother.” The man considered this for a moment and then replied, “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now?

The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
8. What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A. To develop people’s interest in cultures. B. To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C. To make Chinese ancient culture known. D. To draw wide attention to modern China.
9. What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special?
A. Their special shapes. B. Their nice decoration.
C. Their unique materials. D. Their producing method.
10. What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?
A. The greatness. B. The history. C. The application. D. The significance.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Learning about China from a gallery B. Researching the culture of ancient China
C. Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D. Visiting an amazing museum in China

In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hotstone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hotstone bath. The hotstone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as antiaging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hotstone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hotstone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.
12. How does hotstone massage help people discharge their bodies’ toxins?
A. By making people sweating.
B. By relaxing people’s muscles.
C. By improving blood circulation.
D. By having people’s energy recovered.
13. What is a must when taking a hotstone bath?
A. Steam. B. Hot water. C. Thick clothes. D. Heated stone.
14. What can be learned about the hotstone therapy?
A. It successfully cured many people of cancer.
B. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.
C. It is popular with people because its excellent effects.
D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.
15 In which part of a magazine can we read this text?
A. Art. B. Education. C. Society. D. Health.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times”, answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为130左右:

The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
8. What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A. To develop people’s interest in cultures. B. To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C. To make Chinese ancient culture known. D. To draw wide attention to modern China.

A. Their special shapes. B. Their nice decoration.
C. Their unique materials. D. Their producing method.
10. What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?

A. Learning about China from a gallery B. Researching the culture of ancient China

In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hotstone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hotstone bath. The hotstone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body.

The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as antiaging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times but the modern renewal of hotstone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America.

【16题详解】
根据上文“No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you.(没有人会替你爬上成功的阶梯)”以及后文“From the day you leave your parents’ house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.(从你离开父母家的那一天起,你就必须对自己的生活以及所做的选择负责了)”可知,前一句提到“没人会为你爬成功的梯子”,后一句紧接着说“从你离开父母家的那天起,你就要对自己的生活负责”。B选项“没人会为你的生活负责”承上启下,符合逻辑。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long.(如果你想要更好的生活,你就需要做出更好的选择。你可以一辈子都把自己不快乐的原因归咎于他人)”以及后文“Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life.(只有你自己能够通过改变自己的选择来改变自己的生活。要对生活中的每一件事负责)”可知,前一句说“你可以一辈子责怪别人导致你不快乐”,后一句转折说“只有你能通过改变选择来改变生活”。A选项“然而,这改变不了任何事”起到了很好的转折作用,指出责怪别人是无用的。故选A。
【18题详解】

【19题详解】
根据后文“People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future. But that is not the case. Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily.(人们常常认为,未来会有一场神奇的事件让他们的生活发生彻底的改变。但事实并非如此。你的生活只会随着你的改变而改变。如果每天你都不做出改变,那么就永远不会有任何改变发生)”可知,这是一个段落主题句。通读本段,作者批评了等待“魔法事件”改变生活的想法,强调“你的生活只会随着你的改变而改变”以及“你每天做什么”。F选项“只要努力工作,没有什么是你做不到的”强调了脚踏实地的努力,符合本段反对空想、提倡实干的主旨。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office?(积极塑造未来的一个有效方法是问问自己:如果我已经实现了目标,那么我每天会如何行事?我会读哪些书?每周会锻炼多少次?在办公室里又会如何安排自己的时间?)”可知,前一句作者提出了一系列问题。G选项“一旦你回答了这些问题,你就知道该做什么了”是针对这些问题的自然回应,作为文章结尾非常合适。故选G。

考查非谓语动词。句意:回家后,我问他们如果想让当地人明白自己的意思,会怎么做。if从句中wanted是谓语,空格处用非谓语动词,themselves和understand之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动,作宾语补足语,故填understood。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们的回答是:哎呀,用我们的手和脚(来比划)。此处用介词with表示“使用”,故填with。
【43题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:我在这里想展示的是,肢体语言在我们的日常生活中起着至关重要的作用。空格处引导的是主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,此处表示“我在这里想展示的”,因此用what引导主语从句,位于句首,首字母大写,故填What。
44题详解】
考查名词。句意:当你掌握了德语中常见的表达方式后,你与当地人的交流互动就会立刻得到改善。your后跟名词,interact的名词是interaction,意为“交流互动”,可作不可数名词,也可用复数,故填interaction(s)。
【45题详解】
考查动名词。句意:从一开始就学习一些基本原则和手势,会对你很有帮助。空格处用动名词作主语,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Learning。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times”, answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.

On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. My fellows put forward several suggestions and I also contributed Dad’s idea for discussion. To my pleasant surprise, the New Year lights tour won their hearts. We called the seniors’ home and they were thrilled about our proposal. The following weeks, we were busy lining up everything for the tour, including the bus to drive the seniors along the planned route.
On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow. Despite the cold, the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood. All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began. The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filling up. Returning to the seniors’ home, they couldn’t stop talking about all they’d seen and thanked us again and again. Looking at their excited and grateful faces, we’d never felt warmer.
