The head of the house often carves the turkey，⑲ and the rest of the family sit down to eat when all of the food is ready and set on the table. Often, someone is chosen to pray in order to thank God for his many blessings.After the prayer is finished, people start passing around the food and helping themselves to the dishes on the table. People usually engage in light conversation as they eat. ⑳ After the meal is over，pumpkin pies are served，and then the family help clean up the table and dishes.It is often common for family members to sit and watch American football on TV. 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 If you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the following ideas shared by some great talents might help you out. Read books from eras past—Albert Einstein Keeping up with current events and latest books on the bestseller list is a big job, but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works, too. Otherwise, you'd be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times”， he wrote in a 1952 journal article. Don't jump too quickly from book to book—Seneca　 Seneca, a first­century Roman philosopher, believed that reading a wide variety of books in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.“You must linger (停留) among a limited number of master thinkers, if you want to gain ideas which shall win a firm hold in your mind，” he wrote. Shop at secondhand bookstores—Virginia Woolf　 In her essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores, where the works “have come together in vast flocks (簇) of various feathers, and have a fascination which the carefully chosen books of the library lack”. According to Woolf, looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn't have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers, who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners. Skip outdated scientific works, but not old literature—Edward Bulwer­Lytton 19th­century British novelist Edward Bulwer­Lytton was a firm believer in the value of reading old literature.“In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest，” he wrote in his 1863 essay collection Caxtoniana.“The classic literature is always modern. New books revive and redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and inspire new ideas.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四位著名人物关于如何挑选书的想法。 21．Who held the idea that great works should be digested? A．Albert Einstein. B．Seneca. C．Virginia Woolf. D．Edward Bulwer­Lytton. B　解析：细节理解题。根据Don't jump too quickly from book to book—Seneca中的“Seneca...keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.”及“You must linger...master thinkers”可知，塞涅卡认为伟大的作品应该被领悟。 22．What attracted Virginia Woolf to secondhand bookstores? A.A wider range of books. B．The lower price. C．A more careful collection. D．The better service. A　解析：细节理解题。根据Shop at secondhand bookstores—Virginia Woolf中的“Virginia Woolf described the benefits...‘have come together...which the carefully chosen books of the library lack’”可知，范围更广的图书吸引了弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙去二手书店。 23．How did Edward Bulwer­Lytton find the classic literature? A．Interesting.　　　　　 B．Outdated. C．Challenging. D．Valuable. D　解析：推理判断题。根据Skip outdated scientific works, but not old literature—Edward Bulwer ­Lytton中的“Edward Bulwer ­Lytton was a firm believer in the value of reading old literature”可知，爱德华·布威­利顿认为古典文学是有价值的。 B My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4­year­old has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7­year­old's long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys' heads.I love everything about these girls and they know it. But I try not to tell them they're beautiful.My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressures of being a woman in our society.They know nothing about plastic surgery，diets，“feeling fat”，or eating disorders.We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls, as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are.Here's the thing，though.What we're also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls.The more I talk about beauty and looks，even in a positive way，the more I'm conveying the importance of those things. However，it doesn't mean I don't praise my girls.Instead of saying “You look beautiful！”， I might say the more specific “Don't you look fancy today！” or “Those colors go so well together.” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls，but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style.It means that they are in charge of how they look. Naturally，I buy most of my girls clothes.But I don't usually manage their outfit (整套衣服) choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head­to­toe pink，or they can choose to give up dresses altogether.Of course we've seen some mismatching，but they own those styles.They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what I or anyone else will say about how they look. And that's the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在审美方面是如何教育自己的两个女儿的。 24．What do the author's two daughters have in common?

Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its bond to physical health, mental health and longevity: good relationships. In 2008, researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s every night for eight nights.Researchers spoke to each partner separately and asked them a series of questions about their days. On days when these men and women spent more time in the company of others, they were happier.Like most older people, those in the Harvard Study experienced day­to­day rises and falls in their levels of physical pain and health difficulties.But researchers found that the people who were in more satisfying relationships were cushioned (缓冲) somehow from these ups and downs of mood—their happiness did not decline as much on the days when they had more pain.Simply put, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect. Elizabeth Gillespie, a therapist of couples, stated that although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well­being. Today we live in much more complicated environments, so meeting our social needs presents different challenges.We might be sitting on a gold mine of vitality that we are not paying attention to, because it is hidden by the shiny appeal of smartphones or pushed to the side by work demands. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对哈佛大学成人发展研究项目的阐述说明了友好的社交关系对幸福至关重要。 28．What's the purpose of the Harvard Study of Adult Development?

Over three years, this could lead to a weight loss of 26 pounds—simply by sleeping more, the researchers said. A team from the University of Chicago wanted to look at how sleep interacts with obesity and so carried out a clinical trial with 80 adults. Writing in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, they found that young, overweight adults who habitually slept fewer than 6.5 hours a night were able to add an extra 1.2 hours of sleep per night after undergoing counselling to improve their sleeping habits. The results showed that getting more sleep reduced people's overall intake by an average of 270 calories per day, with some people consuming 500 fewer calories. Dr. Esra Tasali, from the University of Chicago's sleep centre, said the study had not intended to look at weight loss. “But even within just two weeks, we have quantified evidence showing a decrease in caloric intake and a negative energy balance—caloric intake is less than calories burned，” she said. “If healthy sleep habits are kept over a longer period, this would lead to clinically important weight loss over time. Many people are working hard to find ways to decrease their caloric intake to lose weight—well, just by sleeping more, you may be able to reduce it considerably.” The study did not attempt to restrict people's diets. Instead, they slept in their own beds, tracked their sleep with wearable devices, and otherwise followed a normal lifestyle without any instructions on diet or exercise. Dr. Tasali said that limiting the use of devices such as mobile phones before bedtime helped people get more sleep. She added, “We saw that after just a single sleep counselling session, participants could change their bedtime habits enough to lead to an increase in sleep time.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，每天晚上多睡一个小时可以减少卡路里的摄入。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及相关发现。 32．Why did the researchers carry out the study? A.To find how to reduce weight. B．To know the proper sleep time. C．To learn about healthy sleep habits. D.To study the link between sleep and obesity. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A team from...look at how sleep interacts with obesity and so carried out a clinical trial with 80 adults.”可知，研究人员进行这项研究是为了研究睡眠和肥胖之间的联系。 33．What's Dr. Tasali's attitude to the findings of the study? A．Doubtful. B．Confident. C．Negative. D．Ambiguous. B　解析：观点态度题。根据第四段中的“we have quantified evidence showing...is less than calories burned”可推知，塔萨利博士对于实验结果是非常自信的。 34．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Participants should go on a restricted diet and do more exercise. B．Limiting the use of digital devices is the best way to get enough sleep. C．Participants tracked their sleep without disturbing their normal lifestyle. D.A single sleep counselling session is useless for participants to change. C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，该研究是在不影响参与者正常生活方式的情况下跟踪他们的睡眠。 35．What's the best title of the passage?

They remind us that something's appearance should not be the most important thing when we determine its value.36.________ Many people still feel insecure about their appearance, so what can a person do to improve their own body positivity? Not comparing your body with others' is a good first step.37.________ Comparing with others only creates something that we think is a standard we need to meet and leads to feelings of disappointment if we can't. 38．________ When someone says something nice, embrace it—don't push it away or play it down. And praise others too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them. It can lift their moods.

I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had spared no effort to practise my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, every word disappeared from my head as soon as I stepped onstage. Finally，my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words，kindly delivered，still stung especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease，and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the shelf was turning green.Under the huge elm trees，we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the flowers.“I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds，” she said，pulling a flower up by its roots.“From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions，” I protested.“All flowers are beautiful，even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously.“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？” she asked thoughtfully.I nodded, pleased that I had won her over.“And that is true of people too，” she added.“Not everyone can be a princess, so there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 “But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said.____________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage on the night of the performance，I felt nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： “But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said. She encouraged and comforted me as usual，“You just haven't been ready for the stage performance.” Seeing the sadness on my face soften a little, she added，“Why not take the narrator's part as an opportunity to be familiar with the stage？” Her encouragement calmed me down gradually, and I began to accept that the narrator's part was of vital significance.Soon it was the big day. Backstage on the night of the performance，I felt nervous. But then I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me，hoping it would be my lucky charm. After the play，I took home the flower. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily at me. Though decades passed, her smile and her words of wisdom have stayed with me and shaped me into who I am now！And this is perhaps the best gift that I've ever received in my life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $单元过关检测一、第一部分听力。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Excuse me, is there something wrong?
