Grandfather and 3-ye ar-old boys are natural buddies. On this particular day in May, the grandfather was pleased to have the company of his best little pal when planting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right siz e to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddad-made holes. They were a great team.
But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves.
“What's this one, Granddad？”
“Beets (甜菜)．”
“Ugh, I hate beets.”
“Well, then, let's do the pumpkin instead.”
“Yuck. I really hate pumpkin.”
“Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant？”
“How about ... doughnuts (油炸圈饼)？”
Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut seed. Looking at the unhappy little face, he suddenly got an inspiration.
“Wait a second. I have to go inside and get the right seeds.”
Granddad returned with a handful of seeds. He and the small boy solemnly planted them in a special corner of the vegetable garden.
Weeks later, when the real seeds began to break through the soil, the boy became delighted with the tiny seedlings (秧苗)．He spent many afternoons helping Granddad water and hoe (用锄头锄) and watch them grow.And when the first baby vegetables were harvested,
he liked them after all.
For weeks, he forgot all about the doughnuts.But then one day at lunch, he said，“Granddad, what happened to our doughnuts？How come they didn't grow？”
Granddad paused a moment.“Well, you know, doughnuts are tricky.Some years when you plant them, you get lots of doughnuts.”He sighed sadly.“But other years, all that comes up are the holes.”

B
On June 2, 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Henry Johnson, a World War Ⅰ soldier, the Medal of Honor. It was the result of a long campaign for a soldier whose heroism had gone unrecognized because of racial discrimination.
Johnson was one of the soldiers serving as guards in France in 1918 when they were surrounded by more than a dozen Germans. The Germans opened fire on them, wounding Johnson over 20 times, but he fought on even after his weapon wouldn't fire anymore.
Though praised by his fellow soldiers and awarded the French Croix de Guerre (法
国英勇十字勋章), he was denied the Medal of Honor in his own country.
The_efforts_to_get_the_soldier_recognized_have_been_filled_with_starts_and_stop s. The work was supported by the office of Charles Schumer, who handed in a 1，258-page recommendation for the award in May 2011 after a great many new documents were discovered.
“A lot of people advocated for this over a long period of time，” said a member of Schumer's, Caroline Wekselbaum, who had spent thousands of hours on Johnson's case.
Their effort to get Johnson the Medal of Honor was blocked in 2003 by Air Force General Richard Myers, who wanted more evidence.
But Schumer's office kept looking for more documentation. One of their findings was a telegram during the war, which mentioned the heroism of Johnson.
Caroline expressed disappointment at the way Johnson was treated. As a black soldier, he and his colleagues were sent to the short-handed French military, but not allowed to fight in the U．S. force.
Johnson's life after World War Ⅰ was filled with highs and lows. His injuries were never properly documented, so he did not receive any medical benefits. He died poor in July 1929, 11 years after his heroism.
4．Obama awarded Henry Johnson in order to________．
A．show the equality between all races
B．correct a mistake he had made
C．set a good example for soldiers
D．approve Henry Johnson's heroism
5．What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Johnson fought bravely without weapons.
B．Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.
C．Johnson's fellow soldiers thought highly of him.
D．Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.
6．How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A．People had great difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.
B．The work of making the government recognize Johnson went very well.
C．A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.
D．People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.
7．What on earth resulted in Johnson's being mistreated?
A．Lack of evidence of his actions.
B．Racial discrimination.
C．His fighting for French military.
D．No documentation of his injuries.

Cities around the world have started to use composting (堆肥) as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋) and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also burns fuel and contributes to global warming. Compost is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leftover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料) for plants and vegetables.
South Korea uses a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage，”“food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”， or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals an NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.
Some people are not excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.
But in Portland, Oregon, which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It's encouraging us to make less waste, and it doesn't smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often，” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.
8．Which is NOT the advantage of composting according to Paragraph 1?
A．Reducing pollution.
B．Recycling organic waste.
C．Contributing to global warming.
D．Saving money used to transport waste to landfills.
9．From Paragraph 2 we learn that________．
A．a South Korean will be fined if he doesn't sort garbage
B．only kitchen waste is expected to be sorted in Canada
C．worm composting is the best way of compost in NYC
D．composting systems are operated all over the world
10．What does the underlined word “it”refer to in Paragraph 2?
A．Compost. B．Fertilizer.
C．The waste. D．The pilot program.
11．What does Paragraph 3 tell us?
A．The future of composting.
B．The problems of composting.
C．People's opinions about composting.
D．The bad effects of composting on people's lives.
D
A peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.
Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.
In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783
Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.
During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.
In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.
12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.
B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.
C．German Nazi party rose because it was defea ted during World War Ⅰ in 1919.
D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.
13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?
A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.
B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.
C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.
D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.
14．It can be inferred from the passage that________．
A．peace treaties are less effective in modern times
B．the stronger side suffers more during a war
C．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countries
D．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times
15．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be r eplaced by “________”．
A．power B．experience
C．reputation D．influence

Ⅰ.语篇解读：祖孙总是完美的搭档。文章描述在菜园种菜时，小孙子不耐烦而央求爷爷种油炸圈饼的场景。爷爷借机告诉了小孙子，好收成时有时没有的道理。1.解析：选A 推理判断
题。根据祖孙两人对话的前半部分可知，小孩不喜欢蔬菜而喜欢油炸圈饼。故选A。
2．解析：选D 推理判断题。虽然孩子开始对蔬菜不感兴趣，但是却对那些秧苗感兴趣，这是因为他看到了自己的劳动成果。故选D。
3．解析：选D 推理判断题。祖父的话表明有时会有好收成有时却没有。故选D。
语篇解读：一位一战黑人士兵100年后获得奥巴马总统的认可。
4．解析：选D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，一战黑人士兵Henry Johnson的英勇行为在将近100年以后的今天才获得认可，奥巴马总统亲自颁发勋章。
5．解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Johnson在枪里没有子弹以后还继续战斗，而不是没有武器徒手与敌人战斗，所以A是错误的；Johnson受了20多处伤，但一直坚持战斗，所以B项是错误的；从第三段前半句里的“praised by his fellow soldiers”可知，C项是正确的；从后半句可知，the Medal of Honor是美国的一种勋章，法国授予Johnson的是the French Croix de Guerre，所以D项是错误的。
6．解析：选A 推理判断题。根据画线句子中的starts and stops以及第六段的例子可知，让Johnson得到官方认可这项工作困难重重，极其不顺利，所以A选项最符合题意。
7．解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后的“because of racial discrimination”以及倒数第二段的“As a black soldier”可看出，造成Johnson受到不公待遇的根本原因是种族歧视，故选B项。
语篇解读：一些城市开始把堆肥作为一种处理垃圾的有效方法。
8．解析：选C 细节理解题。第一段第二句提到运送垃圾到填埋场耗费燃料，加剧气候变暖，这是运送垃圾的弊端，显然不是堆肥的益处。
9．解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可判断A是正确的；B选项中的only是错误的；在纽约，worm composing是composting pilot program的一个项目，但没提到是the best way，所以C项错误；本段只是列举了几个实行堆肥的城市，并不说明世界各地都这么做，所以D 项错误。
10．解析：选C 代词指代题。worm composting是指蚯蚓吃了废物，废物经过蚯蚓的身体变成肥料，所以“it”这里指“the waste”。
11．解析：选B 段落大意题。第三段举例说明堆肥过程中存在的问题，所以选择B项。没提到“未来的发展前景”，故排除A项；这里只是列举了反对观点，C项中的“Pe ople's opinions”太笼统；本段最后一句是说人们很难总是记住垃圾分类，这并不是堆肥对人们生活的不良影响，所以D项的表述是片面的。
语篇解读：战争的双方签署了和平条约，就真正意味着战争的结束吗？
12．解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段中的“When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years”可知，当交战的双方势均力敌的时候，战争会持续更长的时间。
13．解析：选C 段落大意题。通读本段可知，作者在本段列举了两个例子说明了，尽管战争的双方签署了和平条约，但是这并非真正意味着战争的结束，有时候会因为某一方的忽视而导致更多的战争。
14．解析：选A 推理判断题。从第一段中的“In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.”以及最后一段中的“In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehe nsive peace treaty.”可知，在当今世界，和平条约对于真正消除战争所起到的作用并不是很大的。
15．解析：选C 词义猜测题。由“for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted”可知，美国政府没有尊重先前与印第安人部落签署的条约，因此在国际上的声誉很不好。
Ⅱ.16～20 BDGFC
Ⅲ.语篇解读：文章介绍作者遇到一个无家可归的妇女生病了，虽然同事警告他不要帮助这个妇女，但是作者还是毫不犹豫地帮助了她，因为这个小小的善举，作者得到的回报却是巨大的。

22．解析：选B luckily“幸运地”，clearly“清楚地，明显地”，strangely“奇怪地”，sadly“悲伤地”。很明显，她生病了。
23．解析：选A clothes“衣服”，books“书”，food “食物”，medicine“药”。从下文的“I________up a set of clothing and went back to my office”可知应选A。
24．解析：选C 我为她收集了一些衣服，然后回来了。gather“收集”，符合题意。

29．解析：选B home“家”，office“办公室”，classroom“教室”，dormitory“宿舍”。从上文的“while I was working”可知作者应该在办公室。
30．解析：选D energy“精力”，love“爱”，care“关心”，attention“注意”。从前面的curiously可知作者很好奇，所以非常集中注意力。
31．解析：选A disagreement“分歧”，discussion“讨论”，fight“斗争”，quarrel “争吵”。他无意间听见我和同事的分歧。

I love peace and hate war
As we all know, war is still a serious problem in the world today, and I must say I love peace and hate war.
There's no doubt that people all over the world long for peace. Peace is of great benefit to the world. With peace, all the countries in the world can establish hamonious relationships and promote advanced development hand in hand. Peace gives individuals enough freedom and guarantees that we can work and study happily. War, on the other hand, is the root of disasters, which leads to economic depression, the spread of terrible diseases and severe famine.
All in all, for the good of our whole world, it is our responsibility to say no to war and make contributions to world peace.

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.

高中英语选修6 Unit 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artistof this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance(15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they coule decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new

Example: be under obligation to her If you have not signed a contract, you are under no obligation to (= it is not necessary to) pay them any money. You have a legal obligation to (= The law says you must) ensure your child receives a proper education. I haven't got time to do his work for him - I've got too many obligations as it is. A tender conscience is a stronger obligation than a prison. Every man has obligations which belong to his station.
