Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among teenagers these days. Volunteering means working for free to help others or protect the environment. It is a meaningful activity that can enrich our life experience and teach us valuable life lessons.
There are many kinds of volunteer work for middle school students. Some volunteers work in old people’s homes. They talk with the lonely old people, help clean their rooms, read newspapers to them and sing songs for them. Some volunteers go to animal shelters to look after homeless cats and dogs. They feed animals, clean their houses and take them for walks. Other volunteers take part in environmental activities, such as picking up rubbish in the park, planting trees and telling people to protect nature.
Volunteering brings many advantages to teenagers. First, it makes us caring and responsible. When we help others, we learn to think more about people in need instead of only caring about ourselves. Second, we can make new friends who share the same interest. Working together with other volunteers makes us learn teamwork. Third, volunteering helps us improve our communication skills. We have to talk with different people and learn how to get along well with others.
Volunteering also takes time and energy. We should arrange our time well and never let it influence our schoolwork. We don’t need to do difficult or big jobs. Small acts of kindness are also great volunteer work. Even helping your neighbors and classmates in daily life is a kind of volunteering.
If you have spare time, try to be a volunteer. You will get much more than you give.
36. What does volunteering mean?
A. Working to make money.
B. Working for free to help others or protect the environment.
C. Studying in different places.
D. Traveling with friends.
37. Which is NOT mentioned as volunteer work in the passage?
A. Helping old people.
B. Looking after homeless animals.
C. Teaching kids English at weekends.
D. Picking up rubbish in the park.
38. What advantage can volunteering bring us?
A. We can make more money.
B. We needn’t do our homework.
C. We can become more caring and responsible.
D. We can travel for free.
39. The writer thinks that ________.

C. Teenagers have no time to be volunteers
D. Volunteering is only for adults
40. What’s the writer’s attitude towards volunteering?

第二节 阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Travelling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a look and then you can have a great trip there.
Mexico
In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).
The US
Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen… nearly anyone with a service job.
Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.
Britain
British people are known for queuing. From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in Britain, you may make them angry.
Japan
You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when you try clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.
41. What are good gifts for local people in Mexico?
________________________________________________________________________
42. Why shouldn’t tourists ask people’s age in the US?
________________________________________________________________________
43. How long does it usually take a British person in queues in his life?
________________________________________________________________________
44. What should you do before going into the fitting room in Japan?
________________________________________________________________________
45. What taboos do you have in your country? Why is it a taboo in your country?
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】41. Some simple things like flowers but not red flowers.
42. Because it is not polite to ask people’s age in the US.
43. Six months of their life/Half a year of their life.
44. I should take off my shoes./We should take off our shoes.
45. We’d better avoid choosing the number “4” for our telephone or car numbers. Because it sounds like the Chinese character “si”, which means “death”.(合理即可)
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了墨西哥、美国、英国、日本四个国家的一些文化禁忌。
【41题详解】
根据文章Mexico部分“For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers”可知,在墨西哥适合送给当地人的好礼物是像花之类的简单物品,但是不要送红色的花。故填Some simple things like flowers but not red flowers.
【42题详解】
根据文章The US部分“But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.”可知,在美国游客不能问别人年龄是因为这是不礼貌的。故填Because it is not polite to ask people’s age in the US.
【43题详解】
根据文章Britain部分“Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues.”可知,一个英国人一生中通常要花六个月的时间排队。故填Six months of their life/Half a year of their life.
【44题详解】
根据文章Japan部分“You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room.”可知,在日本进入试衣间前应该脱掉鞋子。故填I should take off my shoes./We should take off our shoes.
【45题详解】
本题为开放性问题,需结合中国文化禁忌作答,理由合理即可。故填We’d better avoid choosing the number “4” for our telephone or car numbers. Because it sounds like the Chinese character “si”, which means “death”.
第四部分 情景交际(每小题2分,满分10分)

【答案】46. Have you heard of/read it?
47. What’s it about?
48. What’s Tom Sawyer like?
49. Is the story interesting?
50. You’re right.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一段关于阅读《汤姆·索亚历险记》的对话,两人交流了该书的内容与主人公特点,并就健康阅读习惯提出了建议。
【46题详解】
B说自己正在读《汤姆·索亚历险记》,结合A的回答“No, I haven’t.”(不,我没读过),可知此处B是在询问A是否读过或听说过这本书,故用疑问句“Have you heard of/read it?”衔接下文。
【47题详解】
B介绍完书名后,A表示没读过并紧接着询问了书的内容,结合B的回答“It’s about a little boy called Tom Sawyer...”,可知此处A是在问“这本书是关于什么的?”,故用“What’s it about?”进行提问。
【48题详解】
A在听完B介绍汤姆·索亚和朋友们冒险的故事后,B进一步描述了汤姆的性格特点“He is clever enough to overcome many difficulties.”,由此推断A在此处询问了汤姆是个怎样的人,故用“What’s Tom Sawyer like?”使对话连贯。
【49题详解】
B在回答“Yes, it’s very interesting.”之后,又补充说这本书有趣到自己停不下来,说明A在此之前询问了这本书是否有趣,故用“Is the story interesting?”引出B的肯定回答。
【50题详解】
A建议阅读一小时左右需要休息以放松眼睛,B在表达感谢(Thanks for your advice.)之前,应先对A的建议表示赞同,故用“You’re right.”起到肯定并过渡的作用。

Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among teenagers these days. Volunteering means working for free to help others or protect the environment. It is a meaningful activity that can enrich our life experience and teach us valuable life lessons.
There are many kinds of volunteer work for middle school students. Some volunteers work in old people’s homes. They talk with the lonely old people, help clean their rooms, read newspapers to them and sing songs for them. Some volunteers go to animal shelters to look after homeless cats and dogs. They feed animals, clean their houses and take them for walks. Other volunteers take part in environmental activities, such as picking up rubbish in the park, planting trees and telling people to protect nature.
Volunteering brings many advantages to teenagers. First, it makes us caring and responsible. When we help others, we learn to think more about people in need instead of only caring about ourselves. Second, we can make new friends who share the same interest. Working together with other volunteers makes us learn teamwork. Third, volunteering helps us improve our communication skills. We have to talk with different people and learn how to get along well with others.
Volunteering also takes time and energy. We should arrange our time well and never let it influence our schoolwork. We don’t need to do difficult or big jobs. Small acts of kindness are also great volunteer work. Even helping your neighbors and classmates in daily life is a kind of volunteering.
If you have spare time, try to be a volunteer. You will get much more than you give.
36. What does volunteering mean?
A. Working to make money.
B. Working for free to help others or protect the environment.
C. Studying in different places.
D. Traveling with friends.
37. Which is NOT mentioned as volunteer work in the passage?
A. Helping old people.
B. Looking after homeless animals.
C. Teaching kids English at weekends.
D. Picking up rubbish in the park.
38. What advantage can volunteering bring us?
A. We can make more money.

C. Teenagers have no time to be volunteers
D. Volunteering is only for adults
40. What’s the writer’s attitude towards volunteering?

第二节 阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Travelling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a look and then you can have a great trip there.
Mexico
In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).
The US
Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen… nearly anyone with a service job.
Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.
Britain
British people are known for queuing. From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in Britain, you may make them angry.
Japan
You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when you try clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.
41. What are good gifts for local people in Mexico?
________________________________________________________________________
42. Why shouldn’t tourists ask people’s age in the US?

43. How long does it usually take a British person in queues in his life?
________________________________________________________________________

45. What taboos do you have in your country? Why is it a taboo in your country?
