It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way. 24. What is Sweetest Day for? A. To express love to our parents. B. To remind us of people in need of our help. C. To draw people’s attention to disabled people. D. To keep the weak and nice people around us in mind. 25. What does the underlined word “neglected” mean in paragraph 2? A. Escaped. B. Ignored. C. Rejected. D. Inspired. 26. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The importance of Sweetest Day. B. The customs of Sweetest Day. C. The development of Sweetest Day. D. The future of Sweetest Day. 27. How do most people celebrate Sweetest Day according to paragraph 3? A. By giving gifts. B. By offering help to others. C. By sending others reminders. D. By showing others their beliefs. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国甜蜜日的起源和发展。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.(在这个时刻，我们所有人都有机会不仅记住病人、老人和失去父母的孩子，也记住那些给予我们帮助和善意的朋友、同事、亲戚和邻居。)”可知，这一天是希望我们记住身边的弱势群体以及曾经帮助过我们的好心人。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.(于是他在脑海里形成了这样一个想法：向他们表明，他们被记住了。)”可知，这些人总是觉得自己被忘记或忽视了。所以划线词neglected 为“忽视”之意。选项A“Escaped (逃避)”；选项B“Ignored (忽视)”；选项C“Rejected (拒绝)”；选项D“Inspired (激励)”。故选B。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. (60多年前，克利夫兰的一位男子注意到，有些人，比如失去父母的孩子和躺在床上的病人，经常感到被遗忘和被忽视，于是他在脑海里形成了这样一个想法：向他们表明，他们被记住了。)”、“During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. (在接下来的几年里，其他克利夫兰人开始参加庆祝活动，这一天后来被称为“甜蜜日”。)”、“Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. (随着时间的推移，“甜蜜日”将欢乐传递给穷人、病人和失去父母的孩子的想法扩大到每个人，并成为一个用善良的行为或小礼物纪念他人的机会。)”以及“Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. (很快，这个想法就传播到了美国的其他城市。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了甜蜜日的发展。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.(因为对许多人来说，纪念的形式是赠送礼物，甜蜜日给我们提供了一个机会，以一种积极的方式向别人表达我们的关心。)”可知，人们在这一天会赠送礼物。故选A。 C Some civilizations record their pasts with art or books. Others pass on history through folk songs and dances. In Singapore, the story of how a ramshackle fishing village in Southeast Asia developed into a wealthy and modern country often comes in spoonfuls of peppery pork rib soup or bites of fried egg noodles at its hawker centers (小贩中心). For visitors, hawker centers might just seem like food courts: Follow your nose or the longest line, then pay a few Singapore dollars for a plate of food to enjoy at a shared table. For Singaporeans, hawker culture is about more than just a good meal. These food centers are symbols of the country’s diversified culture. Hawker centers are so central to Singapore that the country recently led a successful campaign to have the practice listed as the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. To accommodate (容纳) Singapore’s diversified population, the government made sure the hawker centers included Malay, Indian, and Chinese store owners. “Hawker centers are likely the first places where people will try another ethnic group’s food,” says Chee Kien Lai, author of Early Hawkers in Singa pore. “They’re open to everyone. You can get Chinese food or try Indian cuisine and get connected to different cultures and religions.” After Singapore’s rapid development in the 1970s and 80s, there was a sudden stop in the construction of hawker centers. Everybody was concentrating on becoming a knowledge-based society. By the time the government returned to building new hawker centers in 2011, many people wondered if there were enough people to carry on the tradition. “Even though locals love eating at hawker centers, few are interested in running a small food shop themselves,” says Chee. “The cost of labor has gone up, with the younger, better-educated generation put off by the long hours and physical work the job requires. As aging hawkers retire, their recipes risk extinction.” That’s one of the reasons that, in 2019, Singapore’s National Heritage Board put the hawkers forward for UNESCO recognition. “We need to make them our local cultural heroes,” says Tay. 28. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ramshackle” in paragraph l? A. Poor. B. Big. C. Unfriendly. D. Pretty. 29. For Singaporeans, the hawker centers are__________. A. a means of passing on their history B. an easy way to earn a living C. symbols of being a modern country D. just good places for cheap food 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Singapore has a very diversified population. B. Hawker centers declined shortly after the 1980s. C. There is intense competition among the hawkers. D. Young people enjoy working at the hawker centers. 31. What is Chee Kien Lai worried about? A. The rising prices of food. B. The high cost of labor in Singapore. C. The disappearance of hawker centers. D. A lack of customers for hawker centers. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被列为联合国非物质文化遗产的新加坡小贩中心。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后“developed into a wealthy and modern country (发展成为一个富裕和现代化的国家)”可推断，ramshackle与wealthy, modern的意思相反，也就是意为“贫穷的”，和poor意思相近。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These food centers are symbols of the country’s diversified culture.

It is a global initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the health risks associated with tobacco use and to advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco (烟草) consumption. Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide and is responsible for numerous health problems, including various types of cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and other chronic conditions. Currently, more than 8 million deaths are caused annually worldwide, including 1.2 million deaths from second-hand smoke exposure in non-smokers. The Member States of the WHO created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco and the preventable death and disease it causes. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed Resolution WHA40.38, calling for 7th April 1988 to be a world no-smoking day. “In 1988, Resolution WHA42.19 was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year on 31st May. On World No Tobacco Day, numerous activities and initiatives take place globally to promote tobacco control. These can include public awareness campaigns, educational programs in schools and communities, smoking cessation support, advocacy for stronger tobacco control policies, and various events to encourage individuals to quit smoking. Each year, the WHO chooses a specific theme for World No Tobacco Day to focus on a particular aspect of tobacco control. The theme may address issues such as the impact of tobacco on lung health, ‘the dangers of tobacco industry marketing strategies, or the importance of providing assistance to individuals who want to quit smoking. This theme then becomes the central component of the WHO’s tobacco-related agenda for the following year. The WHO oversees the creation and distribution of publicity materials related to the theme, including brochures, fliers, posters, websites, and press releases. The ultimate purpose of World No Tobacco Day is to raise awareness, encourage individuals to quit tobacco use, and prevent young people from starting smoking. Since 1988, the WHO has presented one or more awards to organizations or individuals who have made exceptional contributions to reducing tobacco consumption. 32. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb (拇指), first and middle fingers. “It’s not that hard,” she said. “That’s easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It’s natural for you”! I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 In an instant, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In an instant, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked up at my boss and we smiled at each other. As l grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, trying to get them into my mouth, my fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal by using chopsticks. It felt like a great achievement to me. In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad that my new boss was so thoughtful a person that he could take everything into consideration. And I’m really happy that I decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we went out for lunch often in this restaurant. Despite suffering a number of setbacks, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. Now, I have totally mastered the skill of using chopsticks. And as an old saying goes, practice makes perfect. It really isn’t that difficult once you get used to it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者申请了温哥华一家中加合资公司的工作，新老板邀请其去中餐馆庆祝，作者因不会用筷子而紧张，向朋友求助后仍担忧。次日赴宴时，发现桌上摆的是刀叉，原来是老板体贴安排，作者深受感动。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“刹那间，我下定决心，让服务员给我带些筷子。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定让服务员拿筷子，拿到筷子后尝试用筷子夹饭和肉却滑落的过程，以及作者不放弃最终用筷子吃完整顿饭，并将其视为巨大成就的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“最后，我一点也不尴尬。”可知，第二段可描写作者不仅没有感到尴尬，还庆幸新老板体贴周到，也开心自己当初决定要筷子的选择；接着写之后作者和老板常去这家餐厅，作者虽多次受挫仍坚持练习用筷子，最终完全掌握用筷子的技能，最后引用“熟能生巧”的俗语，点明“习惯后用筷子其实并不难”的感悟。 2.续写线索：让服务员拿筷子——尝试使用却失败——不放弃——用筷子吃完——未感尴尬——常去吃午饭——坚持练习用筷子——完全掌握用筷子的技能——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小心拿在手里：take them carefully in my hand/hold them cautiously in my hand/grip them gently in my hand ② 放弃：give up/quit/abandon the attempt ③ 坚持尝试：persevere in my attempts/kept on trying/persisted in trying 情绪类 高兴：glad/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand.

It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way. 24. What is Sweetest Day for? A. To express love to our parents. B. To remind us of people in need of our help. C. To draw people’s attention to disabled people. D. To keep the weak and nice people around us in mind. 25. What does the underlined word “neglected” mean in paragraph 2? A. Escaped. B. Ignored. C. Rejected. D. Inspired. 26. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The importance of Sweetest Day. B. The customs of Sweetest Day. C. The development of Sweetest Day. D. The future of Sweetest Day. 27. How do most people celebrate Sweetest Day according to paragraph 3? A. By giving gifts. B. By offering help to others. C. By sending others reminders. D. By showing others their beliefs. C Some civilizations record their pasts with art or books. Others pass on history through folk songs and dances. In Singapore, the story of how a ramshackle fishing village in Southeast Asia developed into a wealthy and modern country often comes in spoonfuls of peppery pork rib soup or bites of fried egg noodles at its hawker centers (小贩中心). For visitors, hawker centers might just seem like food courts: Follow your nose or the longest line, then pay a few Singapore dollars for a plate of food to enjoy at a shared table. For Singaporeans, hawker culture is about more than just a good meal. These food centers are symbols of the country’s diversified culture. Hawker centers are so central to Singapore that the country recently led a successful campaign to have the practice listed as the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. To accommodate (容纳) Singapore’s diversified population, the government made sure the hawker centers included Malay, Indian, and Chinese store owners. “Hawker centers are likely the first places where people will try another ethnic group’s food,” says Chee Kien Lai, author of Early Hawkers in Singa pore. “They’re open to everyone. You can get Chinese food or try Indian cuisine and get connected to different cultures and religions.” After Singapore’s rapid development in the 1970s and 80s, there was a sudden stop in the construction of hawker centers. Everybody was concentrating on becoming a knowledge-based society. By the time the government returned to building new hawker centers in 2011, many people wondered if there were enough people to carry on the tradition. “Even though locals love eating at hawker centers, few are interested in running a small food shop themselves,” says Chee. “The cost of labor has gone up, with the younger, better-educated generation put off by the long hours and physical work the job requires. As aging hawkers retire, their recipes risk extinction.” That’s one of the reasons that, in 2019, Singapore’s National Heritage Board put the hawkers forward for UNESCO recognition. “We need to make them our local cultural heroes,” says Tay. 28. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ramshackle” in paragraph l? A. Poor. B. Big. C. Unfriendly. D. Pretty. 29. For Singaporeans, the hawker centers are__________. A. a means of passing on their history B. an easy way to earn a living C. symbols of being a modern country D. just good places for cheap food 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Singapore has a very diversified population. B. Hawker centers declined shortly after the 1980s. C. There is intense competition among the hawkers. D. Young people enjoy working at the hawker centers. 31. What is Chee Kien Lai worried about? A. The rising prices of food. B. The high cost of labor in Singapore. C. The disappearance of hawker centers. D. A lack of customers for hawker centers. D World No Tobacco Day (世界无烟日) is observed around the world annually on May 31st. It is a global initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the health risks associated with tobacco use and to advocate for effective policies to reduce tobacco (烟草) consumption. Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide and is responsible for numerous health problems, including various types of cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and other chronic conditions. Currently, more than 8 million deaths are caused annually worldwide, including 1.2 million deaths from second-hand smoke exposure in non-smokers. The Member States of the WHO created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco and the preventable death and disease it causes. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed Resolution WHA40.38, calling for 7th April 1988 to be a world no-smoking day. “In 1988, Resolution WHA42.19 was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year on 31st May. On World No Tobacco Day, numerous activities and initiatives take place globally to promote tobacco control. These can include public awareness campaigns, educational programs in schools and communities, smoking cessation support, advocacy for stronger tobacco control policies, and various events to encourage individuals to quit smoking. Each year, the WHO chooses a specific theme for World No Tobacco Day to focus on a particular aspect of tobacco control. The theme may address issues such as the impact of tobacco on lung health, ‘the dangers of tobacco industry marketing strategies, or the importance of providing assistance to individuals who want to quit smoking. This theme then becomes the central component of the WHO’s tobacco-related agenda for the following year. The WHO oversees the creation and distribution of publicity materials related to the theme, including brochures, fliers, posters, websites, and press releases. The ultimate purpose of World No Tobacco Day is to raise awareness, encourage individuals to quit tobacco use, and prevent young people from starting smoking. Since 1988, the WHO has presented one or more awards to organizations or individuals who have made exceptional contributions to reducing tobacco consumption. 32. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb (拇指), first and middle fingers. “It’s not that hard,” she said. “That’s easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It’s natural for you”! I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 In an instant, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
