A
When I first met George，I was in my early 30s，seeking a creative outlet(出路) unrelated to boring housework and raising little ones.My children，then aged three and five，were just entering kindergarten and school life.At 65，George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby.For both of us，painting was “it”and we met at a local painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last until the day he died.
George arrived in Australia as an immigrant from Britain with his wife and two children.He worked hard，played hard，and had an opinion about everything.He adored his wife，his family，and his friends.A slim and energetic man，George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometres every day.
As the only male in a painting class full of women，George ruled the roost and we were his hens.He adored his singular role and looked after his brood(一窝雏鸡) with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with great passion(热情)，even transforming the spare bedroom into a studio.A studio！His painting equipment was comprehensive.Ever practical，George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box.
After the completion of the course，we still kept in touch.One day when George was about 80 years old，he asked me to come to his house.George explained that he was giving up painting because of his illness and he gave away all his “stuff” to me.
I still use much of his equipment today.The most treasured thing is the red tool box.The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But that’s all right because to my mind friendship is beyond price.
21．Why did the author go to painting class?
A．To enjoy school life again.
B．To make some new friends.
C．To accompany her children.
D．To do something interesting.
22．What might the author think of George?
A．Reliable and caring.
B．Proud and sensitive.
C．Talented and honest.
D．Smart and adventurous.
23．What is the best title for the text?
A．The Red Tool Box
B．A Friend Is a Second Self
C．Have Fun in Painting Classes
D．An Old Man’s Life After Retirement
B
When people find themselves in difficult conflicts，they often turn to mediation(调解)．Mediators are advised to listen attentively，avoid favoring the ideas of one party，and make both sides feel at ease.Surprisingly，new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that，to effectively help people settle their conflicts，mediators should adopt a hostile(敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one.A hostile mediator，we find，brings better results than a nice one.
Why would adding more negativity(消极性) to an already hostile situation prove beneficial？Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling：“I don’t care who started it—both of you，go to your rooms！”At first sight，a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective.But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows，parents’seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect.Children who moments before were troubling each other suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents.
In our research，we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict.In some cases，the mediator had a “nice” approach—calm and polite.In others，he was hostile—aggressive and somewhat rude.Across different types of conflicts，we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.
The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off.In fact，recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior.For example，being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks.Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior.People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.
Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior，hostility can pay off in certain situations.
24．What can we learn about parents’ settlement of conflicts in Paragraph 2?
A．It’s calming and wise.
B．It’s arbitrary but effective.
C．It’s commonly adopted.
D．It harms family relationship.
25．How does the author support his viewpoints?
A．By giving examples and experimenting.
B．By analyzing causes and effects.
C．By presenting facts.
D．By making comparison.
26．What could be the best title of the text?
A．The Significance of Effective Mediation
B．The Costs of Negative Behavior
C．The Benefits of Positive Behavior
D．The Surprising Power of Hostility
C
When was the last time something important slipped your mind？Maybe it was the answer to a test question，the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys.Fortunately，memory can be improved so they won’t happen that often.People’s memory has much to do with training and practice.Applying effective means will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.
When students want to prepare for a test，they often try to study by simply reading over the material again，copying notes，etc.But these methods of remembering are not always helpful.People remember more when actively taking part in their learning rather than passively receiving it.
One great way to do this is to test yourself on the https://www.doczj.com/doc/6a10750190.html,e up with questions about the topic，and try to answer them without looking at your notes.It also helps to try to summarize the material in different ways.You could diagram the information，or you could write your own outline.The more you use the information，the more likely you are to remember it.
When I was 8，I began learning to play the flute(长笛)，and my music instructor said that it’s
better to practice for five minutes a day，seven days a week，than for two hours on one day.The same goes for remembering information.The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information，the more likely you are to remember it.
A psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting.He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern.They forget the most information shortly after learning it.The rate at which they forget then slows down over time.Every time people review the information，it causes them to forget less of it—which means they remember more.So it is vital to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them.Over time，you can review them less and less frequently.
27．What would happen if something slipped your mind?
A．You let your mind wander.
B．You think of the answer to a question.
C．You fail to remember certain information.
D．You keep a person’s name in mind.
28．How does the author support his viewpoints in Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A．By making a comparison.
B．By giving a summary.
C．By conducting experiments.
D．By offering examples.
29．What is the author’s story in Paragraph 4 used to show?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Repeated revision is important.
C．It’s vital to insist on what you are fond of.
D．Efforts play a key part in learning.
30．What is the text mainly about?
A．An explanation of Ebbinghaus’s theory.
B．A description of the learning process.
C．The approaches to improving memory.
D．The relationship between time and memory.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Last year at Christmas my wife，three boys and I were travelling in France.For five terrible days everything had gone wrong.Our rented car broke down；we were all restless and irritable in the crowded car.On Christmas Eve，when we checked into a poor hotel，there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.
It was raining and cold when we went out to eat.We found a boring looking little restaurant carelessly decorated for the holiday.It smelled oily.Only five tables in the restaurant were occupied.There were two German couples，two French families，and an American sailor by himself.In the corner a piano player listlessly(无精打采地) played Christmas music.
I was too stubborn and too tired to leave.I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence.The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor.When he was eating，a half-smile lighted his face.
My wife ordered our meal.The waiter brought us the wrong thing.I scolded my wife for being
stupid.The boys defended her，and I felt even worse.Then，at the table with the French family on our left，the father slapped(扇巴掌) one of his children for some minor fault，and the boy began to cry.On our right，the German wife began scolding her husband.
All of us were interrupted by an unpleasant blast of cold air.Through the front door came an old French flower woman.She wore a ragged overcoat，and dragged herself in on wet，run-down(破烂的) shoes.Carrying her basket of flowers，she went from one table to another.“Flowers，Sir？Only one dollar.”No one bought any.Exhausted，she sat down at a table between the sailor and us.To the waiter she said，“A bowl of soup.I haven’t sold a flower all afternoon.”To the piano player she said bitterly，“Can you imagine，Joseph，soup on Christmas Eve？”

答案精析
语篇解读本文是记叙文。文章讲述了“我”和一位老人的忘年友谊。
21．D[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“seeking a creative outlet(出路) unrelated to boring housework and raising little ones”可知，“我”厌倦了做家务和带孩子，想做点事来调剂枯燥的生活，所以选择去学画画。]
22．A[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He adored his wife，his family，and his friends.”和第三段中的“He adored his singular role and looked after his brood(一窝雏鸡) with the same attention he gave to everything.”可推知，乔治是一个值得信赖的、体贴人的人。]
23．A[标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了“我”和乔治的友谊，而“红色工具箱”正是我们的友情信物，故A项作标题最佳。]
语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。文章辩证地看待了敌对的力量，它更有助于协商双方和解。
24．B[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I don’t care who started it—both of you，go to your rooms”“parents’seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect.Children...become more reasonable due to their unkind parents”可知，第二段中提到的父母的方法虽然有些武断，但是对解决孩子之间的矛盾很有效。]
25．A[写作手法题。根据第二段第二句“Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling...”和第三段中对所做实验的介绍可知，作者通过举例子和做实验来证明观点。]
26．D[标题归纳题。通读全文可知，作者主要介绍了调解者采取敌对态度会带来出乎意料的结果，所以The Surprising Power of Hostility作文章的标题最佳。]
27．C[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Maybe it was the answ er to a test question，the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys.Fortunately，memory can be improved so they won’t happen that often.”可推知，slip one’s mind的意思是“(某事)被(某人)忘记”，故选C项。] 28．D[写作手法题。根据第二、三段内容可知，作者先以学生为考试做准备采用的记忆方法为例，引出积极参与学习过程可以加强记忆，紧接着第三段指出参与学习过程的具体方法，其中列举了用图表显示信息和写提纲的方法，故选D项。]
29．B[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information，the more likely you are to remember it.”可知，作者描述自己学习长笛的经验是为了强调你把花在复习信息上的时间越分散开，越是有规律地频繁复习，你就越有可能记住它，即反复复习很重要。]
30．C[主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了强化记忆的三种方法：积极参与学习过程、反复复习、及时复习，故C项最能概括文章大意。]
31．B[下文说“所以你带着压力离开家，又饿又渴”，B项“没有时间吃东西或喝饮料”与下文一致。故选B。]
32．E [上文说“准时起床(甚至早起)是积极开始一天的必要条件。” E项“它会给你空间和时间来完成你早上的一系列事情”承接上文，该项中的it指上文中的Waking up on time。故选E。] 33．F[上文说“这个习惯对学生来说是可以的，但是如果你想提高你的动力和效率，你绝对应该整理你的床”。F项“你会得到一个整洁的房间和一种自我满足的感觉”承接上文。故选F。] 34．D[上文说“然而，即使你没有养狗，为什么不试着每天早上在户外散步10分钟呢？”D 项“新鲜空气和锻炼会让你感觉更有活力”承接上文。故选D。]
35．A[此空是段落中心句，由上面的几个段落中心句可知，此处应用短小精悍的祈使句，应该在A/C项中选。再根据下文“有条理的人倾向于做这项工作”可知，A项“检查你的待
办事项清单”切题。故选A。]
36．B[由上文中的“I was a terrible student.”可知，“我”不喜欢(like)在电话里和祖母聊天，因为(because)她会问“我”关于学校的事以及“我”正在读什么书。]
37．A[见上题解析。]
38．C[儿时的“我”觉得祖母不了解什么对“我”来说是重要的(important)，这一点在她送礼物时表现得尤为明显。]
39．D[由下文中的“I would read the book”可知，此处指的是祖母像往年一样又送了一本书(book)。]
40．B[由语境可知，“我”会先玩(play with)最新的玩具。]
41．C[由“on Christmas morning and for days and even weeks after”可知，过了很长时间后，“我”才最终(eventually)打开祖母送的礼物。]
42．B[“我”在读书的过程中有时会记住(memorize)一些内容。]
43．A[由文章首句中的terrible student可知，“我”对学业(school)不感兴趣。]
44．D[由下文中的“with her homework”以及“should become a teacher when I grew up”可知，看到“我”如何帮(help)她的孩子做作业，“我”的邻居评论(remark)说“我”长大后应该去当老师。] 45．C[见上题解析。]
46．D[由于“我”不喜欢学习，所以最初“我”觉得当老师这个想法是荒唐的(ridiculous)。] 47．A[由下文的in college可知，此处指“我”决定尝试上大学(college)。]
48．B[由语境可知，“我”坐(sit)在儿童文学课堂上，老师展示了(show)经典儿童书籍的名单。] 49．D[见上题解析。]
50．C[由下文可知，此处指作者发现祖母送的书都是堪称经典的儿童读物，于是就在那时，“我”感动得想哭(cry)。]
51．D[由上文中的“most amazing collection of children’s books”可知，这些书是任何一名老师
都希望(hope)拥有的。]
52．B[由文章前两段可知，祖母没有给(give)“我”小女孩想要的东西，她给“我”的是她认为“我”需要(need)的东西——一个会让“我”终生受用的礼物。]
53．A[见上题解析。]
54．C[由下文中的“I graduated from college，received my master’s degree and became”可知，“我”继续(continue)浇灌祖母很久以前播下的知识的种子。]
55．A[由下文中的“all my students”可知，“我”成了一名教师(teacher)。]
56．to[考查介词。according to...意为“根据……”，为固定搭配。]
57．which[考查定语从句引导词。at which引导定语从句，修饰先行词speed。]
58．has increased[考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语over the last 70 years可知，此处应用现在完成时。句子的主语the speed为第三人称单数，故填has increased。] 59．compared[考查非谓语动词。compare与其逻辑主语3.5mm之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语。]
60．a[考查冠词。survey为可数名词，此处表泛指，且similar的发音是以辅音音素开头的，故填不定冠词a。]
61．importance[考查词性转换。设空处由定冠词the修饰，故应填名词。]
62．trends[考查名词复数。设空处后面的weight of present-day adults为复数概念，故应填trend的复数形式。]
63．Interestingly[考查词性转换。设空处作状语，故应用副词形式。]
64．to grow[考查非谓语动词。tend to do sth.意为“倾向于做某事”，为固定搭配。故用动词不定式作宾语。]
65．quickest[考查形容词的最高级。设空处由the修饰，且由前面的fastest可知，应填quick 的最高级形式。]

I think it will be an enjoyable experience for you.And I bet you will be impressed by the traditional craftsmanship of making tea，which includes washing the tea pots，adding tea leaves，and pouring water into the cups.And then you can taste the tea made by yourself.
I am looking forward to your reply.With best wishes!

参考范文
Having finished his meal and prepared to leave，the sailor walked over to the flower woman’s table.“Merry Christmas！I’ll bought all the flowers，”he handed the flower woman a one-hundred note with a smile.“Really？But I don’t have change，”with these words，a smile illuminated her whole being.The sailor leaned over and kissed her ancient cheek.“This is my Christmas present to you.”Straightening up，the sailor came to every table，handed all the flowers to everyone as a present，wished us a Merry Christmas and departed.
A few seconds later，Christmas exploded throughout the restaurant like a bomb.The old flower woman jumped up，waving the note.Walking slowly to the middle of the floor she did a lively folk dance and shouted to everyone，“Merry Christmas！”My wife waved her flower in time to the music.She was happy and appeared twenty years younger.Everyone joined.The miserable evening in a dull restaurant ended up being the very best Christmas Eve we had ever experienced just because of a young sailor who had Christmas spirit in his soul.He released the love and joy that had
been hidden within us by anger and disappointment.He gave us Christmas.
