She told Cook the time．B. She gave Cook some water．C. She took a photo with Cook．D. She stayed and talked to Cook．18.Clara's act was called a beautiful reminder because ______ ．A. it encouraged people to talk with strangersB. it told people the importance of learning ASLC. it showed there were still people willing to helpD. it proved it was safe for people to travel by airCResearch has already suggested that opening a book mayhelp improve brain function and reduce stress．Now，a teamled by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University islooking into the benefits of growing up around a book⁃filledenvironment；the researchers' new study suggests that homeswith libraries can arm children with skills that last well intoadulthood．The study looked at data from 1600 000 adults from 31 countries，including the United States，Australia，Turkey and Chile．Participants （参与者）filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies，which measures proficiency （水平）in three areas：literacy （读写能力），numeracy and information communication technology．People，25 to 65 years old，were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old．The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of "book⁃oriented socialization．" Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from"10 or less" to "more than 500．"The surveys，which were taken between 2011 and 2015，showed that the average （平均in Turkey，it was 27．In all，however，it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey．The effects were most marked when it came to literacy．Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels．Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average，and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books，at which point the literacy rate．leveled off．The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy；the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests，but skills did improve with increased numbers of books．So，what does the new study tell us？Take，for example，an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home，but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library，but only had nine years of schooling．The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same．"So，literacy⁃wise，bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage，" the study authors write．Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to （沉浸在）books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life，but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind．And so home library size might be important because，as the researchers note，"children emulate （模仿）parents who read．"19.The second paragraph is mainly about ______ ．A. what the study found outB. how the study was carried outC. who were invited to the researchD. why the researchers did the study20.The phrase "leveled off" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ______ "．A. backed to averageB. started fallingC. continued to growD. stopped rising21.The example in Paragraph 5 shows ______ ．A. the disadvantage of having little school educationB. the effect of having a home library in childhoodC. the necessity of raising people's literacy levelD. the importance of getting a university degree22.What can we learn from the passage？______A. The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills．B. Adults benefit more from a home library than children．C. Home library size has little to do with numeracy level．D. Parents who love reading benefit children a lot．Robotic Pets I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life．I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops．At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction．From a neurological point of view，I do not see anything in theway to people bonding （纽带）fully with robotic pets．The humanbrain can attach （赋予）emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling．Being alive is simply not required．From how objectsmove，our brains infer that they are able to act with their own willand purpose．If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive （被动的）movement，then they must be moving on their own．Therefore，they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains．We either fear them，or love them，or hunger for them，or whatever．We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures，with animals，and yes，even with robots．Our brains treat things that act alive as if they arealive-no different．One of the opposite points that people often bring up is thatthey love the way their pets behave，not just look．This getsto AI，which has been developing at a fast pace．We have AIthat can beat world masters in chess and go．I have no doubtwe can build AI to mimic （模仿）the behavior of dogs andcats，if not now then probably within a generation．So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with arobotic pet．But this doesn't mean we would prefer such apet．One argument against robotic pets is that they will beexpensive compared to a live pet-but this is likely not to be true forever．Living pets need to be fed，and they need at least basic medical care，and they may need to be boarded at times．Also，people spend hundreds of dollars on pets，or thousands of dollars on pure bred species．Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones．But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last．The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless．An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system．You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries．They could be a walking cell phone．They would be excellent companions for the elder，affording them more independence for longer．This in itself would be a huge cost saving-anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective．Imagination is really the only limitation，once you have the basics of a working robot．When the technology crosses a certain limit，this will be a thing．Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive （原始的）and cruel．They may have a point．23.Why can we bond fully with robotic pets？______A. They can respond to our reactions．B. They can move actively and freely．C. Our brains can treat things differently．D. Our brains can attach emotions to them．24.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. robotic pets will be cost effective in the futureB. present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live petsC. the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companionsD. the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets25.The writer probably agrees that ______ ．C. technology ensures robotic pets a bright futureD. imagination limits the development of robotic pets三、完形填空（本大题共8小题，共8.0分）If I could go back in timeOne of the most popular topics in the history of science fiction has been the idea of time travel．When I was a child，I often dreamed about a time machine that would allow me to" save" certain moments of my life，so that in case I failed to do something，I could always "load" my life from a checkpoint．As I grew (27)，my life experiences gradually became more diverse （多样的）．In many situations，I had no idea how to act properly，what decisions to make，what path to follow；(28)，I made mistakes．While many of my actions back then turned out for the good in the future，some mistakes provided many painful moments for me and people around me．Mistakes are certain to happen，but they allow us to learn，(29)ourselves，and drive us to change for the better-and still sometimes I would like to jump into a time machine，go back a couple of years ago，and make (30)．Would I try to make other people act in a different way？I think no．I would rather(31)myself about the awaiting consequences （后果）of my most careless decisions．I would talk to a long-haired teen holding his first cigarette and tell him："Don't do that．" So many warnings I would give to myself that sometimes I think：was it really me who did this and that？Having a time machine would make life easier．Perhaps，it is true．But what I think more often now is that living without this teaches us responsibility，about oneself，about important people to us，about one's own life．And besides，our (32)make us what we are today．TodayI am a person leading a healthy，active lifestyle；I try to live each day to fullness in order to(33)nothing．If I could go back in time，I would try to make my (34)better．This is what our parents always try to do when we are children．But you know what？I am glad that no time machine has been invented．26. A. wiser B. older C. stronger D. richer27. A. naturally B. directly C. suddenly D. luckily28. A. love B. enjoy C. develop D. trust29. A. wishes B. journeys C. decisions D. corrections30. A. warn B. comfort C. advise D. criticize31. A. dreams B. changesC. mistakesD. responsibilities32. A. fear B. cost C. miss D. regret33. A. family B. future C. childhood D. education四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.330 million nature lovers from all over the worldvisited US national parks in2018．This summer，visitors will have a new park to explore．Indiana DunesNationalPark started on February 15，2019．Just 50 miles fromChicago，the park is doable as a day trip or a multi⁃day adventure．Located （位于）in north western Indiana along the shore of Lake Michigan，Indiana Dunes is the first national park in this state．The park is already Indiana's most⁃visited site，with about 3.5 million visitors each year．Here's what to know before you visit．The park's most impressive features （特点）are its towering sand dunes．Formed by glacial melt （冰川融化），the park's name sake dunes can reach heights of almost 200 feet．The warm months are the best time to take full advantage of the park's beach．But the park is worth visiting in any season．You can do different activities in differentseasons．To see beautiful fall leaves，plan your visit in autumn．Or explore the park in winter and enjoy far fewer crowds．If you visit in spring，just enjoy your walk for beautiful flowers．A 3.5⁃mile path showing the best the park has to offer．The most famous dune is MountBaldy，and on certain days you can actually climb to the top of this sand dune to enjoy open views of the surrounding landscape （风景）．Other outdoor activities at Indiana Dunes National Park include biking，boating，and fishing．Of course，swimming in Lake Michigan is one of the most beloved activities，but it's important to be mindful of changing water conditions．Like an ocean，Lake Michigan can be calm one minute and dangerous the next．The park's Dunewood Campground has 66 campsites and is equipped with restrooms and showers．It is first⁃come，first⁃served，and the fee is 25 pernight．If you don't want to camp，several other accommodations（住宿）around Indiana Dunes don't requires leeping in a tent．Everything from bed and breakfasts to hotels is available．If you're flying to the Midwest，the airports nearest to Indiana Dunes are South Bend International in South Bend，about 45 miles away，and both Midway and O'Hare in Chicago．From Indianapolis，the drive is about 2.5 hours．The park's main gate is just off I⁃94 and is easily accessed from the Indiana Toll Road．Take the exit for IN⁃49 and you will pass right by the visitor center where you can park，head in to get a map，and plan the day．The park fee is just ﹩6 per car and ﹩80 for a season pass．When did Indiana Dunes National Park start？______Where is the park located？______Why is the park worth visiting in any season？______What can you do on the top of Mount Baldy？______What is the purpose of writing the passage？______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）35.假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办毕业典礼，你打算邀请外教Tim 参加．请用英语写一封电子邮件，告诉他典礼的时间和地点，组织哪些活动，以及需要做什么准备．提示词语： video， speech， dress formally提示问题：• When and where will you hold the ceremony？• What do you advise Tim to prepare for it？Dear Tim，I'm writing to invite you to take part in our graduation ceremony．_______________．Yours，Li Hua"关爱" 就是关心爱护，它在我们身边无处不在．某英文网站正在开展以"关爱" 为主题的征文活动．假如你是李华，请用英语写一篇短文投稿，谈谈生活中你是怎么做的，以及这样做的意义．提示词语： care， help， happiness提示问题：• What do you do in your daily life？• Why do you do so？___________．答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】动词give后用宾格作宾语，根据前句"你为爸爸准备了什么东西吗？"可知宾格用him他，句意：我会给他一支漂亮的笔．故选：C．--父亲节就要到了．你为爸爸准备了什么东西吗？--是的．我会给他一支漂亮的笔．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答2.【答案】A【解析】on"在…之上、在…时候"；at"在、以、向"；in"在…之内"；to"朝、给、对于"，四者都是介词．on 用于具体的某一天，in用于年、月，用于上、下午和晚上，季节，世纪前．at 用于时刻前．由题干"请在5点钟喊醒我．我不得不赶早班火车．"可知，空格是"在（某一时刻）"，用at，因此答案应是at．故选：A．请在5点钟喊醒我．我不得不赶早班火车．本题考查时间介词的用法，在熟知所供词的含义基础上，根据句意，从而判断出正确答．3.【答案】D【解析】根据答句By working hard and thinking more．通过努力工作和多思考．可知问句的疑问词是how 怎样，句意：我怎么才能更好呢故选：D．--我怎么才能更好呢--通过努力工作和多思考．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答4.【答案】A【解析】根据句意：Sara很激动，因为她赢了竞赛．结合选项，A．因为B．虽然C．直到D．除非，选项A符合题意．故选：A．Sara很激动，因为她赢了竞赛．熟悉从属连词的基本用法，结合选项，给出答案．5.【答案】B【解析】根据spring or autumn可知用比较级better更喜欢，句意：露西，你喜欢北京的哪个季节，春天还是秋天？故选：B．--露西，你更喜欢北京的哪个季节，春天还是秋天？--秋天．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答【解析】根据句意"等一会．我正在做作业，快做完了"可知，要用现在进行时，其构成为am/ is/ are doing．故选：B．山姆，我们一起打扫吧．等一会．我正在做作业，快做完了．考查时态要根据时间状语，上下文的关系和语气等，综合判断，也要牢记各种时态的构成．7.【答案】C【解析】A．lose，动词原形，用于一般现在时；A．lost，过去式，用于一般过去时；C．will lose，用于一般将来时；D．have lost，用于现在完成时．此句是if 引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，由题干可知，if you do exercise every day 是if引导的从句，you weight 是主句，主句用一般将来时，will+动词原形，空格处用will lose．故选：C．约翰，如果你每天锻炼身体，你就会减肥的．本题考查if 引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现的原则，结合题意，选出正确答案．8.【答案】D【解析】根据since the Internet was invented可知主句用现在完成时，have/has+过去分词故选：D．自从互联网发明以来，我们的生活发生了很大的变化．解答此类试题时，务必根据题目的要求，在准确理解句子意思的前提下，结合时态准确作答9.【答案】B【解析】根据句意"我想看，但当时我妈妈正在看她最喜欢的电视节目"可知，要用过去进行时，其构成为was/ were doing．故选：B．昨晚你看电视上的篮球赛了吗？我想看，但当时我妈妈正在看她最喜欢的电视节目．对时态和语态的考查，要求牢记各种时态和语态的构成形式，结合时间状语和上下文的关系，找出正确答案．10.【答案】D【解析】根据句意"你想吃点饼干吗？我昨天买的"可知，要用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式．故选：D．你想吃点饼干吗？我昨天买的．对时态和语态的考查，要求牢记各种时态和语态的构成形式，结合时间状语和上下文的关系，找出正确答案．11.【答案】B【解析】句意：为了安全问题，中国的高速列车每天晚上都要被检查。

Through the years, people have worn jewelry for different 13 :to make themselves look beautiful , to protect them from bad things , and to 14 how much money they have.In South Africa , men in the Ndebele tribe 〔部 落 〕often gave their 15 jewelry made of silver or gold rings. Ndebele women wore necklaces around their necks andbracelets around their arms. Rings were 16 worn on their legs. The rings showed wealth. A woman with many rings had a 〔 n 〕 17 husband. In the past, women only took the rings off when their husbands died. Today Ndebele women still wear the rings , but not all of the time.People in India have been wearing jewelry for more than 5,000 years. In the past , both men and women wore a lot of jewelry. Women wore as many as 50 bracelets at a time!Over time , men 18 wearing so much jewelry , but for women jewelry continues to be very important.In India , jewelry means safety. If a family has trouble with money , they can always 19 their jewelry. And , as with the Ndebele tribe , jewelry means wealth. Indian women can expect to receive jewelry as gifts for each important life event , such as birth, marriage, and becoming a mother.In ancient China , people wore jewelry not just to show wealth but also for 20 . They believed that the jade 〔玉 石 〕used in their jewelry was alive and that it could keep bad things away. Many Chinese people today still believe this , and some people only wear the bracelets on their left arms.13. A. reasons B. clothes C. places D. problems14. A. ask B. show C. guess D. explain15.

Over the years , teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot , a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy, and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented iCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using asmartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console 〔操 控器 〕.So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be used with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money and space, and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next time you have aproblem , you'll come up with the next amazing idea!21. If you have no time to take care of your vegetable garden , can help you.16. A. stillB. never 17.

According to the passage, Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect〔建筑〕Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing , the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect, writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.气；itEnniil； lirsriJ TTiuut rcJit Lini rjraitai Tlth训r 防闻卬犀I mem nriunjl 'ifjn 匕nHow was it that you went from architecture to writing —and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create, for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture, I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me , painting is just as important , creatively , but it's something you do alone in your workshop , with a piece of paper and a pot of ink — it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to improve this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process ——it takes at least a year to write a book. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day , in the light , and then putting yourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no one has asked— it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building company Zhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project , suggesting that he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to do some of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion date is in 2021.24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season , our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts. It is easy to get stuck, both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2021.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism〔消费〕:get a good job, get a nice car, and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and workand work to only buy and buy and buy — but does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things , when we should be filling our time with friends , value, and service?An article from the website , Becoming Minimalist , points out the problem with this cycle〔循环〕 in the best way, 'Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before , earn more income, but save less.〞Minimalism isn't all about ridding〔摆脱〕consumerism and products from your life. Minimalism is about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days, minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2021.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If something doesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life ——give it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit , whether it be two weeks or six months , whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your self will to the test. After your allowed time , chances are you will realize all those extra blouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV , cell phone , computer, etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week , or only 30 minutes of social media per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear out some unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then , see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does. Remember, a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It represents your freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle 'people work and work only to buy and buy " shows.A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living , you shouldA. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down " in the last paragraph probabl y mean . 〞A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right “ thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill〔兴奋〕you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study , it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading , but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we woulddo a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted, “ explains Adam Zeman a scientist. " The participants 者〕lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brai n activity for those five texts. xts ranged “ The te 〔涉及〕from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones , including the Highway Code , parts from novels, and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading? Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says , “ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature〔文学〕and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding. 〞Introspection〔内省〕There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain, but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. " These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting, like thinking about what's happened to us recently , thinking about what's going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts , “ explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could be the subject of further research. ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says, “ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will conti nue to ask. 〞31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does. 32. What did the participants do inthe study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities. 33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四？阅读短文,根据短文内容答复以下问题？〔共10分,每题2分〕Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put , like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so , the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card , nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead , she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen, I was embarrassed尴尬的〕every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded〔回应〕with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke , others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there , she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip , I asked her how it went."Ha! " she said' I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken. 〞I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit , Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh are you talking with them now?〞 I asked.“Of course " she said. " One day I climbed up the steps of t he 〔bibefoire I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said , ' Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles. 〞Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long , thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores , I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met , but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation, most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36.

This book is special because I worked with a close foreign friend to translate some Chinese poems into English , which was very challenging. In order to make them better accepted andeasier to understand, we collected lots of materials from the library and the Internet. It took me and my friend one year to translate them.During the process of translating the poems and working with my friend , I learned a lot about the world around me and really got in touch with my soul. Furthermore , I think my English is better than it used to be. Most importantly , I learned the value of teamwork. My friend and I were determined to finish this huge task and that's exactly what we did. I feel so proud of my achievement and I hope I can publish my book soon. 书面表达评分标准第一档：〔10 ~ 9分〕完全符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全？句式多样,词汇丰富？语言准确, 语意连贯, 表达清楚,具有逻辑性？第二档：〔8 ~ 6分〕根本符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全W法结构和词汇根本满足文章需要？语言根本通顺,语意根本连贯,表达根本清楚？虽然有少量语言错误,但不影响整体理解？第三档：〔5 ~ 3分〕局部内容符合题目要求,要点不齐全W法结构和词汇错误较多,语言不通顺,表达不够清楚,影响整体理解？第四档：〔2 ~ 0分〕与题目有关内容不多,只是简单拼凑提示词语,所写内容难以理解？。

Give up?The third day, while I was searching in the woods with my friend Rhea, I told her losing Gracie was like losing faith （信任）in everything, Rhea smiled and said, “You know, maybe Gracie’s on agreat adventure." It seems ________ (34), but I felt better ’s words________ (35) me what, as a writer, I surely have faithin: the power of story.As one writer said, all we have is stories. It’s what holds our lifetogether. We call stories science, some stories myth (神话)，but imagine hearing for the first time that the world may be round. Suchstories only become real when we________(36) them. And somestories are never supported with scientific facts, but they still seemto hold true.For example, ten years earlier, I'd dreamt that I should get a _______ (37), and by that evening. Gracie came into my life. Whenpeople would ask what kind of dog she was, I would say Muppetwolf terrier (小猎狗）.It was something I _______ (38) because Ibelieved Gracie was half dog, half wolf.So why not imagine now that she was off on an adventure exploring her wolf side?The fourth day started with me finding a________ (39) on thesidewalk, I'd always thought of finding money as a good sign. And I was sure Gracie would come home on the fifth day. I guess it was another story to hold on to.On Day Five, I was at a friend’s house when her phone rang.

I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, hoping America would help my future.On the first day, with fear, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and ask this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes,” his voice comforted me a little. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door. In India we assigned (指定的）seats. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image (彰像）produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.Since it was my first day, I was confused which hallway touse, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone, I wasquite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, Iheaded for the cafe. I felt lucky because we didn't have this in India. Every confusion seemed like an obstacle （障碍）I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn't so bad.As time passed that year, I developed some friendships started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old could do them. In India the teachers had a more strict way of saying things. We also had much longer school days in India —7 . to 5:30 pm —while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is the amount I learned each day. Because of these educational opportunities I feel I am the luckiest person in whole world.45.

Here’s what they told us.Getting Along and Having FunAbout two out of three kids said they get along very well with theirparents. About four out of five told us they have fun with theirparents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, mostkids reported arguing with their parents sometimes.“It’s common to disagree and argue,” says D'Arcy Lyness, achild psychologist （心理学家）.“But it’s also important to learn howto do so respectfully ” About half of the kids said they are doing they disagree with their parents, they say they have adiscussion calmly.But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other. Lyness points out that shoutin g never helps. “Speak up, and let your parents know your ideas” she advises. "But be patient. Don’t use a raised, angry voice.”Not surprisingly: three out of four kids admitted (承认）to lying at times. Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disa ppointing their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It can actually get bad results. Telling the truth builds trust. "When parents can trust you: they are more likely to give you more freedom.” she says.A Changing RelationshipKids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close, and not getting along as well with their parents.According to Lyness, those feelings are not uncommon. As kidsgrow up, they have more disagreements or arguments with theirparents. But it doesn't have to be that way. "Kids and parents getalong differently at different times of the journey of life/' she kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to adapt (适应）.“There’s a dance of ways that you act with others and getalong,” she points out. “Then there’s a change, and it’s a differentdance.” Change is normal, she stresses.Share this story with your family. You may find that you have alot to talk about.49. According to the poll how many kids get along very well with their parents?A. About 4/5.B. About 2/3.C. About 1/2.D. About 2/5.50.

To have a talk with their parents.52. What can we learn from the passage?A. Disagreements between parents and kids are avoidable.B. Kids ages 12 to14 lie more because they have less furiesC.

Both parents and kids should make changes to get on well.DTravelling with your belongs on your back, or backpacking is self-planned budget ( 预算）touring using low-cost transport, and often going on foot.Backpackers don’t carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels. Instead, they walk around with backpacks filled with everything they need: ready to sleep under the stars if necessary. With their limited budget, they need to choose lodgings (住宿) and transport based on an old saying — the lower the price, the better.The lure (吸引力)of adventure has made backpacking a popular travel style among young people and students who are seldom owners of fat wallets. They prefer exploring a place by themselves, with only a printed map, or a smart phone on hand."A package tour may suit a family’s needs, but it’s not my cup of tea/1 says Betty Lam, who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer. “I want to explore a place according to my choice, my timetable and myself.”Were there any particularly memorable events on the trip?"Once? the train to Auckland was put off and two of our groupwere hungry, so they left their backpacks with us and went to a nearby shop to buy something to eat. I still remember the scene with Tammy and me running flat out to catch the train, carrying four huge backpacks. The other two were racing behind us as they'd panicked when they saw the train getting ready to pull away from the station. I held the train door open while Tammy was shouting. “Quick —jump in!”Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes! It was so funny!"So was the trip worth all the effort?“Definitely. True, we had a few quarrels (争吵);we have different interests, and it wasn't easy to please everybody- But we managed to reach a compromise (妥协）every time. Travelling with friends helps you learn about getting on with people and working together. All of us had gained a lot by the end of the holiday —the four of us had become really good buddies.”What should backpackers always carry with them?Betty laughs — "not too much! Comfortable walking shoes are important. A raincoat is necessary and bring some practical clothes.”So, is that everything to bear in mind?"Well, yes and no, because you can’t prepare enough. You need much information about where you're going to stay, transport, food, etc. Most importantly, you must have insurance （保险）一just in case your money, passport or backpack get stolen, or you get sick. Take time planning and you'll have fun safely.”53. What do backpackers usually do?A. Stay in pricey hotels.B. Face a lot of dangers.C. Spend much money.D. Choose cheap transport.54. Which of the following statements about Betty is true?A. Betty preferred travelling with her family on holidays.B. The friendship improved as a result of their adventures.C. Only half of Betty’s group caught the train to AucklandD. Betty toured New Zealand with backpackers she met there.55. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To give us some advice on backpacking.B. To tell us about Betty5s travelling story.C. To introduce a hot travel style, backpacking.D. To encourage us to travel with less money.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选顶中选出能填入空白处的昜佳选项。
