Birthdays in Mexico In Mexico, children often get piñatas (皮纳塔) on their birthdays. Their parents put chocolates and other sweets inside the piñata and hang it on a tree. Then the children hit the piñata with a stick. It breaks and the sweets fall out onto the ground. Business birthdays A business birthday shows that a company is successful. Many businesses in the USA celebrate important birthdays, like 10, 50 or 150 years. Companies hold parties and send cards. Sometimes they make TV advertisements. It is a good chance to advertise the business. Name days As well as a birthday, many people in Southern and Eastern Europe also celebrate their name days. In Greece, name days are more important than birthdays. People have big parties and open their houses to anybody who wants to come. People bring small gifts, often flowers or a box of sweets. Islamic New Year In Muslim countries across the world, people celebrate Eid. Eid means festival or celebration. During Eid, people visit family and friends, as well as people who are sick or in hospital. They give presents, such as sweets and food. Children receive toys, too. Children often wear special traditional clothes during the Eid celebrations. Birthdays in China In China, people often celebrate birthdays by eating with family or friends, and the last dish of the meal is always noodles. The noodles are long and thin. You have to eat them in one piece. You can’t cut them. In Chinese culture, long noodles mean you will have a long life. 1. Where do people celebrate Business Birthdays according to the text? A. In China. B. In Mexico. C. In America. D. In Greece. 2. How do Greeks celebrate Name Days? A. Holding parties. B. Visiting parents. C. Wearing traditional clothes. D. Eating with family or friends. 3. Why do Chinese people eat noodles on their birthdays? A. Noodles in China are delicious. B. Noodles represent the reunion of family. C. Noodles are a traditional and popular food. D. Noodles symbolize longevity in Chinese culture. B Earlier this year I made a decision to remove all Internet service from my home. It ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made. I was not content with the time I was wasting —I felt I could do more purposeful things with my time than spend it on the Internet. This doesn’t mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong —it’s not. It is an amazing tool, one that changed my life for the better. How can I go without Internet service at home? The answer is easy: I plan my Internet use. I don’t do so in a strictly controlled way—it’s not like I say, “OK, I’ll be on Twitter from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. next Thursday.” If I see something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have Internet access. Now I’m forced to leave the house to access the Internet. I’ll go to the library, the coffee shop, or some other place with free public Wi-Fi to work on all the things I need to do online (post writing, check email, read blogs, etc.). No longer am I taking unconscious (无意识的) breaks from my life to surf the Internet. Now when I’m on the Internet, it has a purpose—it is a tool I use to improve my life. Sure, sometimes I watch some funny videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go to the Internet with the intention of doing these things. When I got rid of the Internet at home, I did it mostly so I could focus on writing--but I have found so many extra benefits. I have more time for friends. I have more time to exercise. I no longer want the Internet badly like I once did. My mind is more focused on important things. And I don’t have a monthly Internet bill. 4. Why did the author remove all Internet service from his home? A. To reduce the cost of living. B. To make good use of his time. C. To enjoy his own company. D. To stay away from technology. 5. What can be learned about the author’s new way of using the Internet? A. He surfs the Internet at a fxed time. B. He watches funny videos more often. C. He has to pay to access public Wi-Fi. D. He uses the Internet more purposefully. 6. How does the author feel about the result of his decision? A. It is upsetting. B. It is satisfying. C. It is discouraging. D. It is embarrassing. 7. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He is a writer. B. He is short of money. C. He lives alone. D. He likes to stay home. C It is widely known that any English conversation begins with the weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, people fail to come up with a good explanation for this English weather-speak. Bill Bryson, for example, says that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the interest in it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles. Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena (现象). “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it draws the English as well as the outsider. Bryson and Paxman stand for common misunderstandings about the weather-speak among the English. Both of them, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are greetings. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding. 8. Why does the author mention Dr Johnson’s comment? A. Because Dr Johnson is famous. B. To show that most people agree with Dr Johnson. C. Because the comment was accurate two hundred years ago. D. To show that English conversations usually start with the weather. 9. According to the text, what does Jeremy Paxman believe? A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather. B. There is nothing special about the English weather. C. The English weather attracts people to the British Isles. D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty. 10. What does the underlined word “draws” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Explores. B. Attracts. C. Ensures. D. Digitises. 11. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text? A. To analyse the weather in the UK. B. To explain what English weather-speak is about. C. To argue with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman. D. To tell people that the English weather is changeable. D Sugar painting, as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is regarded as both sugar and painting to view or eat. It can be seen in temple fairs, market fairs or in parks. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicraft (手工艺) which is especially popular in northern China. Boil brown sugar, white sugar and little malt sugar in a fire until it can draw lines. Then the artist scoops up a spoon of the melted (融化的) sugar juice, casting (浇) it quickly back and forth on a stone board to create a shape. The shapes of characters and animals such as dragons, fish,birds, butterflies, Zhang Fei and others attract children’s imaginations the most. After finishing, they scoop up the sugar painting with a wide flat blade and attach (固定) it to a bamboo stick. As one symbol of Chinese culture nowadays, sugar painting has been gradually getting more and more attention. Chengdu Sugar Painting has been listed in the “National Intangible Cultural Heritage”. Cai Shuquan, born in a sugar painting family in Sichuan Province, has performed sugar painting shows in large Chinese cities and even in foreign countries such as Japan, Germany,Spain, Singapore and so on. Some say sugar painting may date back to the Ming Dynasty. The handicraft then spread and gradually developed among the common folk. Some other people say the unique folk art was created by the great poet Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted by the emperor because of his special handicraft of drawing by melted sugar. In order to pay back the emperor, he took some apprentices (徒弟) to pass on the skill after retirement. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down among the people. 12. What can we know about sugar painting? A. It is artistic and practical. B. It hardly appears in fairs. C. It’s an art form made by machine. D. It’s quite popular in southern China. 13. Which is NOT the step of making sugar painting? A. Heat the sugar in a fire. B. Cast the melted sugar into a spoon. C. Create a shape with melted sugar. D. Attach the sugar painting to a bamboo stick. 14. What is mainly talked about on sugar painting in the last paragraph? A. Its shape. B. Its birthplace. C. Its art value. D. Its related history. 15. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To show the ways to make sugar painting. B. To introduce a traditional Chinese folk art. C. To present the development of sugar painting. D. To call on people to protect traditional culture. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you’re in good company.

Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.”(众所周知，任何一场英国人对话都会以谈论天气作为开场。这种对天气的执着关注在约翰逊博士的名言中得到了体现，他说：“当两个英国人相遇时，他们首先谈论的话题就是天气。”)”可知，作者提到约翰逊博士的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.(人们关注的并非这些现象本身，而是其中所蕴含的不确定性)”可知，杰里米·帕克斯曼认为英国人谈论天气是因为天气的不确定性。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain(英格兰的天气变化无常、充满不确定性)”以及后文“the English as well as the outsider(英国人和外国人)”可知，英国的天气变化无常，既吸引了英国人，也吸引了外地人。由此可知，draw意为“吸引”，和attract意思接近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, people fail to come up with a good explanation for this English weather-speak.(尽管约翰逊的这一观察在如今依然准确无误，但人们却无法给出一个合理的解释来说明这种有关天气的表述在英语中的运用情况)”以及全文从英国人见面打招呼最常问天气引入主题，为什么英国人那么喜欢以天气为话题，通过对两个常见的错误观点的介绍，继而深层分析其文化根源——日常问候的方式、一种社会纽带推测，故作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是解释英语中的天气表达方式是关于什么。 D Sugar painting, as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is regarded as both sugar and painting to view or eat. It can be seen in temple fairs, market fairs or in parks. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicraft (手工艺) which is especially popular in northern China. Boil brown sugar, white sugar and little malt sugar in a fire until it can draw lines. Then the artist scoops up a spoon of the melted (融化的) sugar juice, casting (浇) it quickly back and forth on a stone board to create a shape. The shapes of characters and animals such as dragons, fish,birds, butterflies, Zhang Fei and others attract children’s imaginations the most. After finishing, they scoop up the sugar painting with a wide flat blade and attach (固定) it to a bamboo stick. As one symbol of Chinese culture nowadays, sugar painting has been gradually getting more and more attention. Chengdu Sugar Painting has been listed in the “National Intangible Cultural Heritage”. Cai Shuquan, born in a sugar painting family in Sichuan Province, has performed sugar painting shows in large Chinese cities and even in foreign countries such as Japan, Germany,Spain, Singapore and so on. Some say sugar painting may date back to the Ming Dynasty. The handicraft then spread and gradually developed among the common folk. Some other people say the unique folk art was created by the great poet Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted by the emperor because of his special handicraft of drawing by melted sugar. In order to pay back the emperor, he took some apprentices (徒弟) to pass on the skill after retirement. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down among the people. 12. What can we know about sugar painting? A. It is artistic and practical. B. It hardly appears in fairs. C. It’s an art form made by machine. D. It’s quite popular in southern China. 13. Which is NOT the step of making sugar painting? A. Heat the sugar in a fire. B. Cast the melted sugar into a spoon. C. Create a shape with melted sugar. D. Attach the sugar painting to a bamboo stick. 14. What is mainly talked about on sugar painting in the last paragraph? A. Its shape. B. Its birthplace. C. Its art value. D. Its related history. 15. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To show the ways to make sugar painting. B. To introduce a traditional Chinese folk art. C. To present the development of sugar painting. D. To call on people to protect traditional culture. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是中国的糖画这种传统民间艺术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is regarded as both sugar and painting to view or eat.(它既是糖，又是画，既可观赏，又可食用。)”可知，糖画兼具艺术性和实用性。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Boil brown sugar, white sugar and little malt sugar in a fire until it can draw lines. Then the artist scoops up a spoon of the melted (融化的) sugar juice, casting (浇) it quickly back and forth on a stone board to create a shape. The shapes of characters and animals such as dragons, fish,birds, butterflies, Zhang Fei and others attract children’s imaginations the most. After finishing, they scoop up the sugar painting with a wide flat blade and attach (固定) it to a bamboo stick.(把红糖、白糖和少量麦芽糖放在火里煮，直到它能画出线条。然后，艺术家舀起一勺融化的糖汁，在一块石板上快速地来回浇筑，形成一个形状。龙、鱼、鸟、蝴蝶、张飞等人物和动物的形状最能吸引孩子们的想象力。完成后，他们用一个宽平的刀片舀起糖画，把它粘在竹棍上。)”可知，把融化的糖倒入勺子里不是制作糖画的步骤，而是艺术家舀起糖汁，故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Some say sugar painting may date back to the Ming Dynasty. The handicraft then spread and gradually developed among the common folk. Some other people say the unique folk art was created by the great poet Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted by the emperor because of his special handicraft of drawing by melted sugar. In order to pay back the emperor, he took some apprentices (徒弟) to pass on the skill after retirement. Spreading from hand to hand, the handicraft of sugar painting was passed down among the people.(有人说糖画可以追溯到明朝。手工业随后在民间传播并逐渐发展起来。还有一些人说，这种独特的民间艺术是由唐代大诗人陈子强创造的。他因为擅长用融化的糖作画的特殊手艺而被皇帝提拔。为了报答皇帝，他在退休后带了一些徒弟把技艺传承下去。糖画手艺在民间流传开来。)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了糖画的相关历史，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Sugar painting, as its name suggests, is made from sugar. It is regarded as both sugar and painting to view or eat. It can be seen in temple fairs, market fairs or in parks. Sugar painting is a kind of folk traditional handicraft (手工艺) which is especially popular in northern China.(糖画，顾名思义，就是用糖做成的。它既是糖，又是画，既可观赏，又可食用。它可以在庙会、集市或公园里看到。糖画是中国北方地区特别流行的一种民间传统手工艺。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是糖画这种中国民间传统手工艺，因此目的是介绍一种中国传统民间艺术。故选B。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you’re in good company.

He is in deep thought, with his head ________ (bury) in his hands. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】buried 【解析】 【详解】句意：他陷入沉思，双手抱头掩面。空处在with复合结构中作宾补，bury和宾语his head为逻辑被动关系，应用过去分词buried。 64. Prices of daily goods ________ (buy) online can be lower than those in some stores. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】bought 【解析】 【详解】句意：网购的日常用品价格会比部分实体店中的价格更低。句中已有谓语动词can be，空处应用非谓语动词，buy和逻辑主语goods为被动关系，用过去分词，作后置定语。 65. Many new houses ________ (build) in the flood-stricken area in the past few months.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】have been built 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几个月里，洪水灾区建造了许多新房子。分析句子可知，build(建造)是句中谓语动词，与主语houses之间是被动关系，句中有时间状语in the past few months，应现在完成时态，又因主语是复数名词，谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态，复数形式。故填have been built。 66. The music of the film ________ (play) by the famous musician sounds so ________ (excite). (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】 ①. played ②. exciting 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位著名音乐家演奏的电影配乐听起来令人十分振奋。第一空，句中已有sounds，空处作非谓语动词，名词The music of the film与动词play为被动关系，应用过去分词played作后置定语；第二空，空处作表语，说明事物The music of the film，应用形容词exciting，表示“令人兴奋的”。 第五部分：写作（共1节 满分15分） 67. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Jack最近沉迷网络，影响学习与生活。请给他写一封建议信，内容如下： 1.表达关心： 2.给出合理使用网络的建议（控制时间、理性上网、助力学习）； 3.表达希望。 要求： 1.词数：100左右。开头、结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2.可适当增加细节，行文连贯。 Dear Jack, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】【参考范文】 Dear Jack, I’m concerned to hear that you’ve been spending too much time online, which does harm to your study and health.
