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 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(异性).
---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(场合) when we meet are business dinners, things like that. 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
1. Who doesn’t think women and men can be close friends?

C. Richard. D. Anna.
2. What does Richard say about friends?
A. They need to have much in common.
B. They’re less important than family.

A. They are all women.
B. They all do the same things.
C. They do not live far away.
D. They are all college students.

Strangers Under 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 not developing at the same rate as your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots(粉刺). 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.
Despite the fact that 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 stormy period will not last. Everything will turn 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(食谱)and put the raw food‘inks’into the printer. You can also modify (修改) 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 be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels(凝胶)?
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.
8. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Soft and convenient. B. Nutritious and tasty.
C. Easy and efficient. D. Slow and popular.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
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 of your 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.
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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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 morning 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 (梁) bordering the doorway. About thirty feet in was a wall of rocks blocking further entrance. From the hole in the ceiling, light sh one on the back wall. David started to show the boys how to climb up the ha ck 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 anyone to go out. Worse still, a stream of water was flowing into the cave.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Justin looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, Justin saw the farmhouse.

Strangers Under 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 not developing at the same rate as your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots(粉刺). 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.
Despite the fact that 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 stormy period will not last. Everything will turn 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(食谱)and put the raw food‘inks’into the printer. You can also modify (修改) 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 be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels(凝胶)?
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.
8. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Soft and convenient. B. Nutritious and tasty.
C. Easy and efficient. D. Slow and popular.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
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

When you set a foot outside of your 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.
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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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.(以我们父母这一代人为例。他们充分践行“沟通”,成长过程中习惯面对面交流,而Y一代是盯着屏幕长大的。我们每天花数小时刷脸书。)”可知在作者看来,Y一代依靠网络进行社交。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“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.(和陌生人交谈意味着要认同自己并不认同的观点,还要努力变成对方期待的样子,正如我之前所说,这是一件麻烦事。)”可知很多年轻人回避结识新人,是觉得这件事很麻烦。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(但是结识新朋友很重要。人生短暂,尽可能多去认识人,努力走出去欢笑。记住,每一声“你好”都会换来微笑,而微笑弥足珍贵。)”可推知,作者写作目的是鼓励人们结识新朋友。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节日二月二龙抬头的节日习俗。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:二月二龙抬头,在每年农历二月初二,是中国的传统节日之一。分析句子可知,句子为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“Dragon Heads-raising Day”,指物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正如谚语所说,龙醒了,抬起了头。分析句子可知,句中有系动词“is”,故空格处应用非谓语动词,句子主语“dragon”和“raise”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用“raise”的现在分词“raising”作状语。故填raising。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:在这一天,龙,中国文化中一个重要的图腾,随着雷声抬起它们的头。分析句子可知,句中“heads”为名词,前面应用形容词性物主代词修饰,“they”为人称代词主格,对应的形容词性物主代词为“their”,意为“它们的”。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:大约在这个时候,地球上充满了生命。根据“Around this time”可知,句中指在一段时间内,充满生命的动作正在发生,故句子应用现在进行时,主语“the earth”是第三人称单数,与“is”连用,“burst”的现在分词为“bursting”,故空格处应填“is bursting”。故填is bursting。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:在古代中国,人们在河边或湖边祈祷,祈求宝贵的春雨来培育庄稼。根据句意和句中“In ancient China”可知,句子陈述的是过去的动作,应用一般过去时,动词要用过去式,“pray”意为“祈祷”,动词词性,过去式为“prayed”。故填prayed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:传统上,这一天吃的食物是以龙的身体部位重新命名的。分析句子可知,空格处应用副词,放在句首,作状语,用来修饰整个句子,“tradition”意为“传统”,名词词性,对应的副词为“traditionally”,意为“传统上”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Traditionally。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:这一天通常吃的特殊食物包括龙鳞(春卷)、爆米花(龙子)和猪头肉。分析句子可知,“food”意为“食物”,名词词性,强调食物的种类时为可数名词,句中强调不同种类的特殊食物,故空格处应用“food”的复数形式“foods”。故填foods。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在山西,人们剪头发是一种象征性的辞旧迎新的举动。分析句子可知,句中涉及“get+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,“cut”意为“剪切”,动词词性,“hair”和“cut”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用“cut”的过去分词“cut”作宾语补足语。故填cut。
【44题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
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 morning 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 (梁) bordering the doorway. About thirty feet in was a wall of rocks blocking further entrance. From the hole in the ceiling, light sh one on the back wall. David started to show the boys how to climb up the ha ck 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 anyone to go out. Worse still, a stream of water was flowing into the cave.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Justin looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.”

Suddenly, Justin saw the farmhouse.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】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.
【解析】
【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
