When I was 18, determined not to spend my last teenage year stuck in a village, I took off with an Australian friend and we traveled around Europe for months. We stayed in the cheapest accommodation we could find and live on bread.
This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the Internet, when the primary contact with home was the collection of mail from the post office. Before I left, Mom had made a money bag to wear around my neck. She’d also made me a sleeping sheet so I could avoid unclean bedding. She didn’t want me to go, and these gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time.
It’s only now, as my 18-year-old daughter is preparing to leave on her own gap year trip, that I have understood what Mom felt.
Working many jobs and saving money, my daughter has researched where to stay, how to get around and what to do when she arrives. She seldom asks for my opinion and I don’t know whether I should back off or not. I want to be cool but not cold. I want to be like the perfect travel guide.
When she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that shape her. I didn’t let myself think too much about her not being here. Our house has already got smaller in size and soon it will just be me, my son and the cat. And I’m not quite ready for that.
But this trip is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter. I have promised not to upset her with messages, but at least I know she can contact me when she wants to.
4. What can we learn about the author’s travel in 1990?
A. She traveled around Europe on her own.
B. She bought clean bedding for a sound sleep.
C. She had to budget carefully to afford the trip.
D. She made calls to keep in touch with her mother.
5. How did the author’s mother feel about her travel plan?
A. Excited. B. Proud. C. Angry. D. Concerned.
6. What troubles the author about her daughter’s gap year trip?
A. Heavy pressure of money.
B. Having no one to turn to for help.
C. Wondering whether to get involved.
D. Little knowledge about the destination.
7. What does the author decide to do?
A. Move into a much larger house.
B. Take a trip with her daughter.
C. Contact her daughter by letter.
D. Trust her daughter and let go.
C
Samantha, like many renters (房客), is tired of renting. One reason is that her rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord (房主) raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to think less about other people than the ones who moved out, “she said. My first neighbor always closed the door heavily; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist (萨克斯管吹奏者) moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the man was only playing two hours a day!”
There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy ones. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a cook. He’d bring me some delicious dishes. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a repair man who helped me with my car all the time and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go to the forest every weekend to watch birds.”
Different persons have different ways of looking at life. Samantha saw the saxophone player as a troublemaker, yet Howard saw the piano player as a happiness bringer. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would be always saying that their roof is the wrong color.
8. What is a reason for Samantha being tired of renting an apartment?
A. Her landlord is impolite. B. The rent increases every year.
C. Her neighbors are boring. D. The place becomes dangerous.
9. What did Samantha think of the saxophonist?
A. Delightful. B. Sensitive. C. Annoying. D. Responsible.
10. What does Howard do every weekend with his latest neighbor?
A. He learns cooking. B. He watches birds in the forest.
C. He listens to music. D. He goes out for a ride in his car.
11. What determines the feeling of happiness according to the text?
A. The way you look at life. B. The profession you are in.
C. The people you stay with. D. The place where you live.
D
If you connected your grandparents with flowers or blooms, what types would they be?
A theory called “orchids (兰花) and dandelions (蒲公英)” was introduced to describe how people adapt to their environment. Just like orchids that need specific conditions to grow, some people show a similar nature. On the other hand, dandelions, like weeds, can grow almost anywhere and stay strong even in difficult environments. The theory, which first came out in 2005, was created to understand how kids grow up. But in 2022, Canadian scientists discovered it also applies to older people. They investigated the lifestyle activities of more than 3,530 older adults, and then studied the influence of these activities on their cognitive (认知的) health, including whether their cognitive patterns changed.
The cognitive patterns of “dandelion” elders appear steady, which means that they tend to have better cognitive health, showing great adaptation and an ability to handle tough conditions. Dandelion-type seniors usually have strong social networks, engage positively with family members and the community, and always seek out the silver linings in life experiences. Having various hobbies or careers, they actively communicate with the world and realize their values, which allows them to find satisfaction in life.
Orchid-type seniors, who tend to have changes in cognitive patterns, maintain limited communication with the outside world. While deeply crazy about one or two hobbies or careers, they tend to focus on these interests. Although they may do well in familiar environments, unfavorable conditions lead them to overreact and struggle.
Knowing what flower type your grandparents are enables you to love and care for them better and helps them enjoy delightful and fulfilling golden years. Dandelions sometimes might struggle with loneliness, so family members’ company is helpful in such cases. For orchids, families should encourage them to express how they feel and what they need.
12. What is the “orchids and dandelions” theory mainly about?
A. The change of lifestyle. B. Personal response to conditions.
C. Growth habit of two plants. D. Differences between generations.
13. What do the underlined words “silver linings” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Surprising truths. B. Unexpected turns.
C. Hopeful aspects. D. Lasting memories.
14. What can we learn about orchid-type seniors?
A. They are willing to make changes. B. They have good social connections.
C. They have a wide variety of hobbies. D. They manage new conditions poorly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Flowers and their influence. B. Family members’ care and love.
C. An insight into seniors’ personalities. D. Tips on how to improve seniors’ health.

When she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that shape her. I didn’t let myself think too much about her not being here. Our house has already got smaller in size and soon it will just be me, my son and the cat. And I’m not quite ready for that.
But this trip is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter. I have promised not to upset her with messages, but at least I know she can contact me when she wants to.
4. What can we learn about the author’s travel in 1990?
A. She traveled around Europe on her own.
B. She bought clean bedding for a sound sleep.
C. She had to budget carefully to afford the trip.
D. She made calls to keep in touch with her mother.
5. How did the author’s mother feel about her travel plan?
A. Excited. B. Proud. C. Angry. D. Concerned.
6. What troubles the author about her daughter’s gap year trip?
A. Heavy pressure of money.
B. Having no one to turn to for help.
C. Wondering whether to get involved.
D. Little knowledge about the destination.
7. What does the author decide to do?

C. Contact her daughter by letter.
D. Trust her daughter and let go.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过作者对自己18岁时欧洲旅行经历的回顾,以及对照自己即将踏上间隔年旅行的女儿的准备情况,文中表达了作为母亲对孩子成长独立的复杂情感,包括理解、支持、不舍与放手之间的平衡。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I was 18, determined not to spend my last teenage year stuck in a village, I took off with an Australian friend and we traveled around Europe for months. We stayed in the cheapest accommodation we could find and live on bread. (当我18岁的时候,我决定不让我的最后一个青少年时期被困在一个村庄里,我和一个澳大利亚朋友起飞,我们在欧洲旅行了几个月。我们住在我们能找到的最便宜的住处,靠面包生活。)”和第二段中“This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the Internet, when the primary contact with home was the collection of mail from the post office. (那是1990年,手机和互联网还没有出现的时候,人们与家的主要联系是从邮局收集邮件。)”可知,作者在1990年的旅行中必须精打细算才能负担得起这次旅行。故选C。

(为了省钱,我的女儿做了很多工作,她研究了住在哪里,如何四处走走,到达后该做些什么。她很少征求我的意见,我不知道该不该退让。我想变酷,但不想变冷。我想成为完美的旅游指南。)”可知,关于女儿的间隔年旅行,作者在纠结是否应该介入或保持距离。故选C。

C
Samantha, like many renters (房客), is tired of renting. One reason is that her rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord (房主) raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to think less about other people than the ones who moved out, “she said. My first neighbor always closed the door heavily; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist (萨克斯管吹奏者) moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the man was only playing two hours a day!”
There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy ones. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a cook. He’d bring me some delicious dishes. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a repair man who helped me with my car all the time and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go to the forest every weekend to watch birds.”
Different persons have different ways of looking at life. Samantha saw the saxophone player as a troublemaker, yet Howard saw the piano player as a happiness bringer. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would be always saying that their roof is the wrong color.
8. What is a reason for Samantha being tired of renting an apartment?
A. Her landlord is impolite. B. The rent increases every year.
C. Her neighbors are boring. D. The place becomes dangerous.
9. What did Samantha think of the saxophonist?
A. Delightful. B. Sensitive. C. Annoying. D. Responsible.
10. What does Howard do every weekend with his latest neighbor?
A. He learns cooking. B. He watches birds in the forest.
C. He listens to music. D. He goes out for a ride in his car.
11. What determines the feeling of happiness according to the text?
A. The way you look at life. B. The profession you are in.
C. The people you stay with. D. The place where you live.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文通过萨曼莎和霍华德租房的不同体验,说明看待生活的方式不同,会带来截然不同的居住感受。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One reason is that her rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord (房主) raises the rent five percent. (其中一个原因是她的房租像钟表一样准时上涨,房东每年都会把房租提高5%。)”可知,萨曼莎厌倦租房的一个原因是房租每年都会上涨。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the man was only playing two hours a day!(他每天练习两小时。每逢周六,他的朋友们会过来,我就能听到一整支乐队的演奏。我报了警,但警方表示,公寓内允许萨克斯演奏,每日时长最长可达四小时,因为这属于与工作相关的活动。他们还说,我算幸运的——这人每天只吹两小时呢!)”可知,萨克斯手的演奏对她造成了困扰,她觉得对方很烦人。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My latest neighbor is a birder; we go to the forest every weekend to watch birds. (我最新的邻居是个观鸟爱好者,我们每个周末都会去森林里观鸟。)”可知,霍华德每周会和新邻居去森林观鸟。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Different persons have different ways of looking at life. Samantha saw the saxophone player as a troublemaker, yet Howard saw the piano player as a happiness bringer. (不同的人有不同的人生观,萨曼莎把萨克斯手看作麻烦制造者,而霍华德却把钢琴手当作快乐的源泉。)”可知,看待生活的方式决定了一个人的幸福感。故选A项。
D
If you connected your grandparents with flowers or blooms, what types would they be?
A theory called “orchids (兰花) and dandelions (蒲公英)” was introduced to describe how people adapt to their environment. Just like orchids that need specific conditions to grow, some people show a similar nature. On the other hand, dandelions, like weeds, can grow almost anywhere and stay strong even in difficult environments. The theory, which first came out in 2005, was created to understand how kids grow up. But in 2022, Canadian scientists discovered it also applies to older people. They investigated the lifestyle activities of more than 3,530 older adults, and then studied the influence of these activities on their cognitive (认知的) health, including whether their cognitive patterns changed.
The cognitive patterns of “dandelion” elders appear steady, which means that they tend to have better cognitive health, showing great adaptation and an ability to handle tough conditions. Dandelion-type seniors usually have strong social networks, engage positively with family members and the community, and always seek out the silver linings in life experiences. Having various hobbies or careers, they actively communicate with the world and realize their values, which allows them to find satisfaction in life.
Orchid-type seniors, who tend to have changes in cognitive patterns, maintain limited communication with the outside world. While deeply crazy about one or two hobbies or careers, they tend to focus on these interests. Although they may do well in familiar environments, unfavorable conditions lead them to overreact and struggle.
Knowing what flower type your grandparents are enables you to love and care for them better and helps them enjoy delightful and fulfilling golden years. Dandelions sometimes might struggle with loneliness, so family members’ company is helpful in such cases. For orchids, families should encourage them to express how they feel and what they need.
12. What is the “orchids and dandelions” theory mainly about?
A. The change of lifestyle. B. Personal response to conditions.
C. Growth habit of two plants. D. Differences between generations.
13. What do the underlined words “silver linings” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Surprising truths. B. Unexpected turns.
C. Hopeful aspects. D. Lasting memories.
14. What can we learn about orchid-type seniors?
A. They are willing to make changes. B. They have good social connections.
C. They have a wide variety of hobbies. D. They manage new conditions poorly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Flowers and their influence. B. Family members’ care and love.
C. An insight into seniors’ personalities. D. Tips on how to improve seniors’ health.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“兰花和蒲公英”理论的具体内容,以及两种不同类型的老人的特点和给出建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A theory called “orchids (兰花) and dandelions (蒲公英)” was introduced to describe how people adapt to their environment. Just like orchids that need specific conditions to grow, some people show a similar nature. On the other hand, dandelions, like weeds, can grow almost anywhere and stay strong even in difficult environments.(一种叫做“兰花和蒲公英”的理论被引入来描述人们如何适应他们的环境。就像兰花需要特定的条件才能生长一样,有些人也表现出类似的天性。另一方面,蒲公英和杂草一样,几乎可以在任何地方生长,即使在困难的环境中也能保持强壮)”可知,“兰花和蒲公英”理论的主要内容是个人对环境的反应。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Having various hobbies or careers, they actively communicate with the world and realize their values, which allows them to find satisfaction in life.(他们有各种各样的爱好或职业,他们积极与世界交流,实现自己的价值观,这让他们在生活中找到满足感)”可知,蒲公英型老年人会在生活中寻找有希望的方面。故划线词意思是“有希望的方面”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Orchid-type seniors, who tend to have changes in cognitive patterns, maintain limited communication with the outside world. While deeply crazy about one or two hobbies or careers, they tend to focus on these interests. Although they may do well in familiar environments, unfavorable conditions lead them to overreact and struggle.(兰花型老年人的认知模式往往会发生变化,他们与外界的交流有限。虽然他们对一两个爱好或职业非常着迷,但他们往往专注于这些兴趣。虽然他们在熟悉的环境中表现得很好,但不利的环境会导致他们反应过度和挣扎)”可知,兰花型老年人不能很好地应对新环境。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“But in 2022, Canadian scientists discovered it also applies to older people. They investigated the lifestyle activities of more than 3,530 older adults, and then studied the influence of these activities on their cognitive (认知的) health, including whether their cognitive patterns changed.(但在2022年,加拿大科学家发现这也适用于老年人。他们调查了3530多名老年人的生活方式活动,然后研究了这些活动对他们认知健康的影响,包括他们的认知模式是否发生了变化)”结合文章主要说明了“兰花和蒲公英”理论的具体内容,以及两种不同类型的老人的特点和给出建议。可知,这篇文章的主要内容是对老年人性格的洞察。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是中国传统小吃糖葫芦,包括其在中国北方冬季的流行情况、制作原料、起源传说以及独特的口味带给人们的童年回忆。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自古以来,它就深受当地居民的喜爱,尤其是孩子们。由Since可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语it是单数,因此空格处是has been。故填has been。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:糖葫芦通常由山楂制成,山楂富含维生素 C,且具有传统的中医疗效。空格处用副词commonly修饰动词made,commonly意为“通常”,故填commonly。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:糖葫芦通常由山楂制成,山楂富含维生素 C,且具有传统的中医疗效。sb. be known to do是固定句式,意为“某人被认定会做某事”,故填to have。
【39题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:据传说,在宋朝,皇帝的一位妃子生病了,食欲不佳。wife是可数名词,空前有one of,空格处用复数wives,故填wives。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:据传说,在宋朝,皇帝的一位妃子生病了,食欲不佳。appetite是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,空格处用不定冠词,poor是辅音音素开头,因此用a,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:医生建议她每次用餐前先将五到十个山楂与糖一起煮熟食用。that引导的宾语从句中谓语是eat,空格处用非谓语动词,haws和boil之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填boiled。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:后来,这个药方被传给了普通百姓。pass on to sb.是固定短语,意为“传给某人”,故填to。
【43题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这就是它们被称为“冰糖葫芦”的原因。空格处引导表语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,此处表示“这就是它们被称为“冰糖葫芦”的原因”,因此用why引导表语从句,表“……的原因”,故填why。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:还有一种说法是,最初的糖葫芦只有两个山楂——顶部有一个小的,下面是大的,这使得它看起来像一个“葫芦”,象征着带来好运的象征。that引导的宾语从句中谓语是had,空格处用非谓语动词,此处用现在分词作状语,表结果,故填making。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:酸甜交织的山楂果有着酸涩的果肉和甘甜的果酱,其味道融合了多种风味,常常让人想起自己快乐的童年时光。由often可知,句子时态是一般现在时,which指代的先行词a combination of flavors是单数概念,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填reminds。
