The two young designers both want to design good games that help children.They also have the same sense of humor.So,you could say they are cut from the same cloth. They are also good friends.So if Catherine were in need,Felix would give her the shirt 製 off his back.Now,we praise people who roll up their sleeves and who give you the shirt off their backs.We tip our hats to these people. 。 OK,another phrase.Catherine has been out of work for a month,and she is on pins and needles for months,hoping for a job offer.Tailors often use pins and needles when making clothes.Most pins and needles are made of metal-and they are sharp!They would 荪 hurt you if you sat on them.So if you are on pins and needles,you are anxiously waiting for something to happen. 21.How can we describe twins according to the passage? A.They are tailor-made. B.They are on pins and needles. C.They are cut from the same cloth. D.They tip their hats to each other. e 22.In which situation may we give a friend the shirt off our backs? ☒ A.He has done a good deed. B.He is lacking in food. C.He is curious about something.

D.A TV show. 9 B Last year,my mother brought out an old college-ruled notebook:one of the journals in which she has kept a record of all the dinner parties she has hosted since 1976.I have a similar journal.But I am a writer,and she is a chemist.Mine features descriptions and feelings about the dinners I've hosted,while hers reads like laboratory notes-just the meal plan and who was invited. “Salmon mousse(慕斯)，”she announced,reading the first entry.“My God,I must have made that a hundred times.Do you remember them?"I did not.But I did remember that salmon mousse. Old friends came and went in her joumal.New favorites joined the menu.My husband's name first shows up in 1997,along with a meal of just hors d'oeuvres because he loved it. My sister-in-law's name arrived in 2006,and with it,all shellfish disappeared from family menus-she would get sick after eating it.There is my mother's partner,Ruth,who appeared in 199l,signaling almost five years of vegetarian(素食主义者)dishes before she gave in to my mother's ham.And there is my father,who,despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce. While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party,I write in mine afterward.In my mother's books,everything is clear.Hers passes from early motherhood through divorce and the deaths of friends without a break.I,on the other hand,have three entire years unaccounted for.I see her journals and am envious:By 45,I should not be winging it at dinner.I should practice with old favorites.I should have a salmon mousse. And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for writer friends.The menu is already written in my book.To start,a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge:salmon gravlax.And for this I must apologize to my mother:It is as close as I can get.I love you;I do.But I have always hated that salmon mousse. 24.What can we know from Paragraph 3?

C The biggest soccer story of the summer was not Germany's win at the Confederations Cup in Russia.And it was not the United States'Cold Cup win over Jamaica either. Instead,it was the constant discussion about whether Brazilian star Neymar would leave his current team,Barcelona,and move to Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona recently played in the United States,and it was what all people wanted to know about.But that discussion has come to an end.Barcelona announced on Wednesday that Neymar said goodbye to his teammates and told the team he was leaving. Paris Saint-Germain will need to pay Barcelona over 200 million euros to purchase Neymar's contract.Until then,Neymar is still a member of Barcelona.However,he will not practise with the team. In July,many sports publications wrote about the possibility of Neymar leaving Barcelona. They said he did not like being the team's second-best player behind Argentine star Lionel Messi. The question about whether Neymar would stay or go grew more intense in the last week,as Barcelon finished its tour of the U.S.and returned to Europe.Neymar did not travel with the team.Instead,he went to Asia to make appearances for his sponsors.He returned to Spain on Tuesday night,and told the team his decision on Wednesday. Now,the soccer world must wait for Barcelona's bank account to grow by over 200 million euros.When that happens,Neymar will be on his way to Paris. On Wednesday,Messi used Instagram to post a goodbye video message to Neymar. The two have been Barcelona teammates since 2013.More than 5 million people watched the video in the first three hours. 28.The biggest soccer story of the summer was A.whether Neymar would leave Barcelona B.Germany's win at the Confederations Cup C.the United States'Gold Cup win over Jamaica D.Messi used Instagram to post a goodbye video message 29.What's the probable reason for Neymar's leaving Barcelona?

The report,called Places That Make Us,was conducted by National Trust's and Surrey University's researchers.Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)(磁共振成像)scans on2 0 volunteers and conducted an online survey of2,O00 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places. "Working with leading researchers and academics,and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology,we examined how places affect people,how they become special,and why we feel a pull towards them,"explained Nino Strachey,head of research for the National Trust. The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes,houses,and other locations,as well as personally meaningful objects.Measuring their brain activity,the researchers found that it was the places,as opposed to the objects,that caused the brain to get the most excited. Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times,once at home and the other time at their special place.The research made discoveries that had never known before the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging,physical and emotional safety,and an intense internal pull to the place. Dr.Andy Myers we weighed in on the research,saying,"For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places,far beyond any research that has been done before." 32.How was the research conducted? A.By performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers. B.By measuring the participants'brain by MRI. C.By doing rough interviews with the participants.

A.Everyone has his way to be happy. B.Valuable places can make people happy. C.Teddy bears are best memories for children. D.Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being. 第二节（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。 选项中有两项为多余选项。（七选五） Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever. 36 If you aren't made of money,it's hard to give your kids everything they want.That's why it's important to help them understand the value of money. Start teaching your children about money early.Starting around age 10,give them a few dollars every week for them to spend however they want.Make the pocket money dependent on doing housework.37 Don't set limits on what they can spend it on, and don't continually buy them things they want.They'll soon learn that if they spend all their money as soon as they get it,they won't be able to afford more expensive things they want. You should also start early introducing your children to budgets and how much things cost.38 Soon they'll realise how much some things really cost. As your child gets older,about 13 or 14,increase their pocket money as you increase their responsibility.Once they're more responsible,give them a budget for something bigger like clothes and make hem stick to it. Eventually,your child will probably get a job.Take this opportunity to teach them about savings.39 Let them use the rest as mad money to spend however they want.If you're worried about what they're buying,open them a checking account you can monitor. Teaching your child the value of money will not happen overnight. 40 Remember that they will probably mess up along the way,but mistakes are how they learn. A.It takes many small steps. B.But let them choose what they want to do. C.You should refuse them wisely if they ask you for money frequently. D.Have them go to the store with you or watch you pay the bills. E.There are expensive clothes,video games,phones and more. F.Knowing how to save money can help children find a good job in the future. G.Have them put some into a savings account to use for college or other pursuits. 第三部分语言运用（共两节） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When you eat something really sour,there is something that can't be ignored.It is the 41 that isn't limited to your tongue.An especially sour bite has a way of making your entire face 42 into a look of discomfort.If you can't 43 puckering(撅起)your mouth when you lick a lemon or snack on Sour Patch Kids,you can thank evolution. 13 That unmistakable sour flavor that stimulate your taste buds is a product that acids release when they combine with saliva ()When your mouth 44 this sign of acid,it lets you know in a dramatic way.Your taste receptors 45 and your face twists involuntarily in what's known as a rejection response,according to Live Science. Your tongue's reactions to bitter or spicy foods are rejection 46 as well.Many plants found in nature with these 47 are poisonous,and your body's strong reaction is its way of protecting you from harm.Sourness 48 naturally in fruits like citrus ()but it can be a warning of food-borne illness in many cases. 49 fruits and dairy products contain acid,which gives them a sour taste too. It's hard to ignore the sour flavor of what you're eating when it twists your entire facial expression.This reaction isn't necessarily enough to help someone who has already taken a bite of a bad apple,but it may protect the people they're with.When our early human ancestors hunted for food,a sudden twisted face may have 50 that whatever that person put in their mouth wasn't good to eat. The pucker response to 51 flavors helped early humans avoid getting sick, but it doesn't stop us from eating this kind of food today.The flavor is so sought after that there's an entire candy market 52 to maximizing it in processed products.So why do we love to eat the very thing that our face and tongue warns us might kill us? The answer is 53 taste.Humans don't naturally desire bitter,spicy,or sour foods,but foods with these characteristics are important components of a nutritious diet. 54 loving these flavors from birth,we're conditioned to enjoy them through repeated exposure.By becoming familiar with the taste via our peers and family members, humans 55 learn which sour (and bitter and spicy)foods are healthy and which are potentially harmful. Though we rely on the sense every day,taste doesn't work exactly how you may assume. 41.A.challenge B.panic C.sensation D.impression 42.A.adjust B.perceive C.react D.contract 43.A.decline B.insist C.persist D.resist 44.A.distinguishes B.detects C.identifies D.encounters 45.A.take up B.light up C.get across D.bring down 46.A.responses B.impairments C.preferences D.guarantees 47.A.bitterness B.declines C.flavors D.textures 48.A.puts up B.picks up C.stays up D.shows up 49.A.Ripe B.Raw C.Spoiled D.Purchased 50.A.proved B.confessed C.communicated D.displayed 51.A.salty B.bitter C.spicy D.sour 52.A.ceased B.deserved C.desired D.devoted 53.A.acquired B.born C.gained D.undeveloped 54.A.Apart from B.Thanks to C.Instead of D.Regardless of 55.A.gradually B.faithfully C.barely D.respectively 14 第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Some inventions happen in strange ways.The potato chip is one of them.Moon's Lake House was 56. restaurant in New York in the 1845s.George Crum was the cook there.Many rich people often came to the restaurant to enjoy his 57.

Take it with you.”I stuffed both bags into my briefcase(公文包)，kissed the child and rushed off. At midday,while hurriedly swallowing down my real lunch,I tore open Molly's bag and shook out the contents.Two hair ribbons,three small stones,a plastic dinosaur,a pencil,a tiny seashell,a marble,a used lipstick,a small doll,two chocolate bars and 13 pennies. I smiled.How charming!Rising to work,I swept the desk clean into the wastebasket-leftover lunch,Molly's junk and all.There wasn't anything in there I needed. That evening Molly came to stand beside me while I was reading the paper."Where's my bag?"“What bag?"“You know,the one I gave you this morning.”“I left it at the office, why?”“I forgot to put this note in it."She handed over the note.“Besides,I want it back.” "Why?""Those are my things in the bag,Daddy,the ones I really like.I thought you might like to play with them,but now I want them back.You didn't lose the bag,did you, Daddy?"Tears puddled in her eyes. “Oh,no,】just forgot to bring it home,”I lied..“Bring it tomorrow,okay?”As she hugged my neck with relief,I unfolded the note that had not gotten into the bag:"I love you,Daddy.” Oh.And uh-oh.I looked long at the face of my child.She had given me her treasures-all that a 7-year-old held dear.Love in a paper bag,and I had missed it-not only missed it,but had thrown it away because"there wasn't anything in there I needed".

There are several reasons for its popularity. First,it is so convenient to get fast food that it can save a lot of time.Secondly,its popularity also results from the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants and the excellent service there. However,fast food is far from satisfactory in nutrition,especially for the health and growth of the children and young men.Therefore,doctors suggest that people,especially children,should eat as little fast food as possible.In my opinion, fast food is the best choice when you are too busy to spare enough time.And you'd better turn to it once in a while. 二、读后续写 Paragraph 1: While travelling,the two did meet some hardships or danger.They were forced to avoid wild dogs,got lost a time or two,suffered sore feet,and befriended a wild donkey,but no matter how unusual the conditions were,they just kept going.Romeo wanted nothing but a hug from his 77-year-old grandma,which motivated and inspired him greatly on the journey. Paragraph 2: On September 21,father and son finally made it to Grandma Rosemary's home in London.When Grandma's house eventually came in sight,Romeo burst into a joyful run that ended in the embrace he'd so longed for.Grandma didn't believe her grandson's unbelievable journey at first.But more than anything else,her heart was filled with love and gratitude. "Children can inspire us and lift us all up.On behalf of all the grannies in all the world,I want to thank Romeo and hug him and kiss him a lot, she told the Times.

The Great Wall is a symbol of the ancient Chinese civilization;however,now it is in danger and some day there may not be the existence of it because of some people's destruction. As we can see,apart from the Great Wall, some other precious and important relics in our country have been destroyed.But the local people are not aware of their importance.Cultural heritage is left to us by our ancestors and is also a symbol of their wisdom,which played a very important role in history. In my opinion,on the one hand,we should make some people who lack cultural knowledge know about the importance of the historic relics.On the other hand,the government should take some measures to preserve them and if necessary,laws will be made to punish those who destroy them on purpose.Only in this way can we make our history richer and richer. 第二节 Paragraph 1: It was a long trip back to the of fice.I picked up the wastebasket and poured the contents on my desk.I was carefully sorting it all out.After removing the dirt off and spraying the whole thing with breath freshener to kill the smell of food.I carefully smoothed out the bag and put the treasures inside.I carried the whole thing home gingerly,like an injured kitten.That evening,I returned it to Molly.After dinner,I asked Molly to tell me about the stuff in the bag,and so she took it all out a piece at a time and placed the objects in a row on the dining room table. Everything had a story,a memory,or was attached to dreams and imaginary friends.I managed to say"I see"very wisely several times. And,as a matter of fact,I did see. Paragraph 2: To my surprise,Molly gave the bag to me once again several days later.The same bag and same stuff inside.I felt forgiven,and trusted and loved.And a little more comfortable wearing the title of father.Over several months,the bag with the note in went with me from time to time.In time Molly turned her attention to other things. She found other treasures,lost in new games,and grew up.I was left holding the bag.She gave it to me one morning and never asked for its return. And so I have it still.
