阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I think a close friend is someone who you get on well with,who helps you when you have
problems,who gives you advice,and who always has time for you.I didn't use to have many close
friends when I was at school because I was very shy,but now I have several.They are all women.I
think it's difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex ()
-Marie
I think a close friend is someone who you've known for a long time,and who you still get on
with.They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together.I've got three close friends who
I was at middle school with and we often go out together (without our parents of course).We often
go camping,play football,or walk outside in the open air.
-David
I'm not sure how to answer the question because I don't really have any close friends.I know a
lot of people but mainly through work,and the social occasions (when we meet are business
dinners.I think if you come from a really close family,friends are a bit unnecessary.I like spending
my free time with my family.
-Richard
For me,close friends are the people you spend your free time with.I go out at weekends with a
group of people,and they are all my close friends.They're also people who live near me.I don't think
you can have close friends at a distance because you need to be able to see each other often.But I
don't think you need to be doing the same things.I mean I'm at school but none of my friends are.
-Anna
21.Who doesn't think women and men can be close friends?
A.Marie.
B.David.
C.Richard.
D.Anna.

A.They need to have much in common.
B.They're less important than family
C.They must work in the same place.
D.They come from social occasions.

B
Strangers uder the Same Roof
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument?Have your once warm and
open conversations become cold and guarded?Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them
on anything?You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and
their parents.
Teenagers'physical changes may result in such family tensions.You may feel anxious that you are
developing at a different rate as your friends,shooting up in height or getting left far behind.You might
worry about your changing voice,weight problems or spots ()When the worries get too much,your
parents are often the first target of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs,too.You enter a strange middle
ground-no longer a small child but not quite an adult.You have both a new desire for independence
and a continued need for your parents'love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make
decisions on your own.Unfortunately,your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel
unhappy.Sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride.It can be difficult when your parents
treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your
relationship.
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family,you can take action to
improve the situation.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.Just remember
that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create,and that you and
your parents can work together to improve your relationship.The good news is that this stommy period
will not last.Everything will tum out all right in the end,and the changes and challenges of your teenage
years will prepare you for adulthood.

3D printing is becoming more and more popular.We are now able to create things we need
very quickly and easily using 3D printers.But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this.They hope that
having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it'll be quite easy:you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food
inks'into the printer.You can also modify (the instructions to make the food exactly how
you want it.This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment.There would be
less need for traditional growing,transporting and packaging processes as food production would be
a lot more efficient.For example,alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae,beetroot
leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia(a swallowing disorder).They
could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have
trouble in swallowing them.
However,some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster.It could take
away many jobs,including those from growing,transporting and packaging food.Imagine a world
where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a
raw"food ink".Likewise,traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business.Also,there are
concerns about the nutritional value of printed food:is it really possible to get the nutrients we need
from food-based inks and gels(疑胶)?
What's more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional
and enjoyable activity.It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and
meals can be created at the touch of a button
28.Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
英语试卷
A.Soft and convenient.
B.Nutritious and tasty.
C.Easy and efficient.
D.Slow and popular.
29.Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A.Many people could lose their jobs
B.We could all eat the same food.
C.It would affect the people's health.
D.Traditional food would disappear.
30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B.The future of 3D food printing is uncertain
C.It would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D.3D food printing would be a failure
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Can 3D-printing Create Everything?
B.3D-printing Food Will be in Fashion!
C.The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing
D.3D Food "Printing"Coming to the Kitchen
D
When you set a foot outside ofyour door to drop trash,go to a social event or go for a walk,
thoughts like"I hope I don't see anyone I know"or "please don't talk to me"may run through your
mind.I've also said such things to myself.Sometimes,the last thing you want to do is talk with someone,
especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people?Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time?
Or are we just lazy,thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?
Communication is the key to life.We have been told that many times.Take the past generations,like
our parents,for example.They seem to take full advantage of that whole"communication"idea because
they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens.We spend hours of our
days sitting on Facebook.We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to
say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.
Nowadays,we are so caught up in our little circle of friends-our comfort zone.We love it that
they laugh at our jokes,understand our feelings and can read our minds.Most importantly,they know
when we want to be alone.They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't actually
believe and being someone you think they want you to be-it is,as I said before,a trouble.It takes up so
much energy,and at some point or another,it is too tiring.
第3页共6页
But meeting new people is important.Life is too short,so meet all the people you can meet,
make the effort to go out and laugh.Remember,every"hello"leads to a smile-and smile is worth
a lot.
32.What do we learn about the author?
A.He likes to be alone.
B.He feels stressed out lately.
C.He's active in attending social events.
D.He's afraid of talking to others at times.
33.What's the problem of Generation-Y in the author's eyes?
A.They rely on the Internet to socialize.
B.They are less confident in themselves.
C.They have difficulty in communicating.
D.They are unwilling to make new friends
34.Why do many young people avoid meeting new people?
A.They think it troublesome.
B.They are busy with their studies.
C.They fear to disappoint their old friends
D.They want to take time to do meaningful work.
35.Why does the author write the passage?
A.To tell about the importance of friends
B.To give tips on how to meet new people.
C.To encourage people to meet new people
D.To introduce the disadvantages of Generation-Y.

A Reason to Run
Justin and his friend David had known each other before they became classmates.David
didn't seem to mind that Justin was small for his age.But on the first day of school,when David
and Justin had lunch with the rest of the fifth-grade boys,Steven asked when David had started
playing with babies.David laughed out loud and Justin felt uneasy
Several weeks later,David called to invite Justin to his birthday party at his grandfather's
farm.Justin didn't want to go.He had wanted to spend the day running.When he ran,the problems
at school didn't matter,and being the smallest kid in his class didn't matter,either.So every day
after school he practiced.And Saturday moming was the best time to run.
This Saturday,however,he reached the farm with Steven and the rest of David's friends.
David's mother suggested that David show the boys around,so David asked his grandfather,Mr.
Hamilton,to drive them to the foot of a hill.Mr.Hamilton left to prepare for the party.The boys
decided to enter a cave,go out from a hole at its top,climb the hill and then hike back.
The entrance to the cave was a big stone room with huge wooden beams (bordering the
doorway.About thirty feet in was a wall of rocks blocking further entrance.From the hole in the
ceiling,light shone on the back wall.David started to show the boys how to climb up the back wall.
"Let me go first,"Steven demanded.He grabbed David's belt and pulled him off the rock,throwing
him into Rafael.
"Watch it!"shouted David.But it was too late.He and Rafael fell hard against a beam and
the wood started to crack.A second later the beam fell.Then part of the ceiling collapsed.Dust
filled the air.When the dust finally settled,the six boys found themselves trapped in the cave and
the only exit was the hole in the ceiling,which became smaller-too small for any one to go out.
Worse still,a stream of water was flowing into the cave.

Dear Andrew,
How nice to hear from you again! I think it is natural for you not to get used to the life there.Here are my suggestions.
First of all, respect the local customs there and try to involve yourself in the natives' lives.Secondly, communicate more with American students and make friends with them.What's more, join in outdoor activities actively, which may help you relax and have fun.Finally,mind your own manners when getting along with your friends.
I do hope my suggestions will help you.May you adapt to your new life and enjoy your stay there.
Yours sincerly,
Li Hua
读后续写
Justin looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out. He volunteered to have a try. He climbed slowly up the back wall and, with some effort, managed to go through the opening. Once outside, he took off towards the farm at full speed. After five minutes, he slowed downed a little until he could get regular step. That was what he would have done in a real race, but he wasn’t practicing anymore. He began counting the trees he passed. He got a regular pace and then picked up speed. He ran as he had never run before.
Suddenly, Justin saw the farmhouse. “Mr. Hamilton! Hurry! Everyone is trapped in the cave.” Without wasting a moment, Mr. Hamilton left for the cave while David’s mom called the police. By the time Justin and David’s mom reached the hill, the police had cleared the small opening and were pulling the boys out. Everyone was OK. Steven approached Justin and said “I sincerely apologize for making fun of you. It’s amazing how quickly you managed to get help.” “Apology accepted. Running at that speed was no big deal,” Justin replied, feeling a sense of pride in his body shape for the first time.
【导语】本文以事故发生的情节为线索展开,讲述了Justin和他的朋友David在成为同学前就认识了,Justin的年龄较小,个子不高,由于其他同学的一个笑话使得Justin有些不安,他每天都在跑步,这样就不会在想学校的问题了,在一个星期六,David邀请他去农场参加他的生日派对,David带着几个伙伴进入了一个洞穴,在跨越洞穴入口的一个石头房间时发生了意外,大家被困在洞穴的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Justin抬头看了看那个洞,说:“我可能足够小,可以出去。”可知,第一段可描写Justin是如何钻出洞口的,又是如何到达农场的,结合本文的题目应涉及到Justin跑步的相关内容。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,Justin看到了农场。”可知,第二段可描写Justin将消息告诉大人们后,人们又是怎么做的而最终将被困的孩子解救出来,此时Justin如何看待自己的小身材的。
2.续写线索:主动尝试钻出洞口——全速跑向农场——到达农场报信——人们马上行动——救出被困孩子——Justin的感悟

W: ⑨We can take the train. That will be faster.
M: ⑨Okay. I’ll book the tickets immediately.

M: ⑪Can you do me a big favor, Bella?
W: How big, Kevin? ⑪The last time you said that, I ended up making ten calls to our business partners. The manager even thought I had too much free time at work.
M: Well, I’m sorry. But things are different this time. ⑫I have to type plenty of documents by Friday afternoon. Could you help me to type half of them?
W: But it’s only Tuesday. You’ve got enough time to deal with it!
M: Yes, but Mr. Brown has asked me to go on a business trip to London with him this afternoon. And I can’t come back until Friday morning.
W: I’m sorry, Kevin. I also have a lot of work to do.
M: Oh, please! What if I get you a cup of coffee every morning for the next week?
W: Well, ⑬give me some time to think about it. I will give you my answer before lunch.
M: OK.

W: I can’t believe my eyes, Bill. ⑭Are you having a salad for lunch? No hamburger or fried chicken?
M: Get used to it, Mary. Most fast food is high in salt. ⑭⑮My doctor says I should stay away from salty food to lower my blood pressure.
W: Really? I didn’t expect you to have this disease at such a young age.
M: Actually, it’s not that serious. But eating less salt has also been believed to reduce the risk of a heart attack.
W: Well, I’m glad you’re starting to pay more attention to your diet.
M: Besides that, ⑯I also go swimming in the gym every Tuesday and Thursday, and play tennis every Saturday. Sometimes, I play basketball with my friends.
W: Cool. ⑰The only game I know how to play is badminton.
M: I can teach you tennis this Saturday if you like. It’s very easy.
W: Really? That’s very kind of you.
