Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. She was really nervous whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.”he took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.听力录音原文1M: This math puzzle is really beyond me.W: Well, if you can’t solve it, I won’t stand a chance.2M: Your computer makes such a loud noise. I guess there must be something wrong. You’d better have it checked out.W: You are right. I’ll do that later.3M: What’s the noise? It sounds as if it’s coming from next door. The Nelsons aren’t back yet, are they?W: I don’t think so. It must be the window-cleaner working upstairs.4M: I think there’s a mistake in our bill. We didn’t have dinner here last night.W: I’m sorry, sir. Here is the bill from the hotel restaurant. It’s got your signature on it.M: But that’s not my signature. I’d like to speak to the manager.5W: Good morning, Mr. Smith. I hope I’m not disturbing your work.M: Not at all, Mary. Come in and take a seat. I’m always in my office before lunch.W: I want to tell you that I have already started writing my paper and I’d like to discuss my topic with you.M: Of course. What would you like to work on?6M: This car goes from 0 to 60 in only 5 seconds. Not bad for something built in the old USA!W: Hmm, I usually don’t buy American. How do I know that this is going to be more reliable than something that’s made in Germany?M: Listen, ma’am,I’ve been driving a Ford for the past 20 years, and I mean the same Ford! These are the best in the business. I’m telling you.W: But is it safe?M: Well, that depends on how fast you want to drive!W: What?M: I’m just kidding. That was a joke! Seriously, though, the safety ratings are at the top of its class.I can show you the latest Consumer Reports if you want.W: No, that’s OK. I appreciate your time. I think I’m going to keep looking, though.M: All right. Let me know if I can help.7M: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Or Mrs. Baker, please?W: This is Mrs. Baker speaking.M: Hello, Mrs. Baker, this is Mr. Chin, Timothy’s English teacher. I’m calling because Timothy is struggling in English.W: He isn’t doing well? This is really upsetting. He must study h arder. I will talk to him about that immediately.M: Actually, I’m calling to offer my assistance. Timothy is already working hard in class, but he needs some extra help. If he could stay after class on Mondays and Wednesdays, I’d be able to help him improve. Would it be OK for him to stay after school on those days?W: Definitely. Thank you so much for offering help! I will talk to Timothy today and he’ll startstaying after school next week. Thank you for your concern!M: It’s my pleasure. I enjoy having Timothy in my class.8M: Debbie, I’m sorry to have to say this, but this lateness really can’t go on, you know?W: Oh, no, not again.M: What do you mean by that?W: Well, you’re always going on at me and I’m never more than five minutes late.M: Late is late, my girl! And if you don’t change your ways, I’m afraid I shall have to let you go. W: Let me go? Must you always put things the wrong way round? What you mean is you’ll fire me!M: Will you please stop being so aggressive and so cheeky?W: Oh, why don’t you shut up?M: Really! Debbie ... I never thought you’d... what you do you think you’re doing now?W: Doing? I’m getting my things together. That’s what I’m doing. There’s no need for you to fire me, Mr. Steiner. I resign!9W: How’s your computer c ourse going?M: Well, I’ve just had my class, actually. We have it twice a week and each one lasts two hours. W: That’s too long. Doesn’t it get boring?M: Well, you need that long to actually do a whole document. I can do all sorts of things on my computer that I never knew before.W: I can’t say the same for my cookery course.M: Oh, why not? I thought you were enjoying it.W: It’s enjoyable enough, but we just don’t seem to make much progress. We spent the whole of last week’s lesson learning how to fry an egg.M: So how often is it?W: Just once a week, for an hour and a half. It’s making cakes next week.M: Oh, that sounds fun.W: Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I wanted to ask you something, actually. Have you learnt how to send e-mails on your cours e yet? I can’t get my computer to send them properly, and I was wondering if you’d show me how it’s done.M: Well, if you bring me one of your cakes, I suppose I could try.W: Great, well, when I’ve made them.10I don’t often lose things and I’m especiall y careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet to pay for my dinner and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting.Unfortunately, there were several other people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager came up to me and asked me if anythingwas wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manger what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report it to the police. I told him that I didn’t want to set the police involved in it. Besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address. And he said he would send me the bill.。

2017浙江高考英语试卷及英语联考考试试卷(2)DService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced.

AAt 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you’d call prime real estate. But it was mine.I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farmi ng in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some plowshares, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2 ⅟2-ton Studebaker truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.1. When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina, ________.A. it was well equippedB. he was unsatisfied with itC. it was not a real estateD. he worked very hard on it2. The underlined word “liberating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word ________.A. upsetB. interestingC. freeD. boring3. The author regards buying the Missouri farm as a good idea because _______.A. he was able to sell it at the price of $3,500B. he could recall plenty of experiences in his own farmC. he got the chance to meet his wife working at a church in Shelbina thenD. he could purchase another house in Illinois as a result of successful farming 【答案】1.D 2.C 3.BBNinety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise. If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party, chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study, driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers. The Sunday Times of London detailed the study, which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day, the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower, measured by intelligence and memory tests. The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activity, like television watching.As it turns out, stimulating activity stimulates your brain, whilenon-stimulating activity, well, doesn’t stimulate your brain.“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people. This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet —and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania, a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told the Times.Fortunately for most Americans, the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games, think again. Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible, and if you happen to have free time on your commute, be sure to use it wisely.1. According to the passage, which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?A. Watching TV.B. Having sports.C. Driving long timeD. Sleeping.2. Why does the writer mention “results with people participating in similarly sedentary activities” in para3?A. To make a contrast.B. To give an example.C. To make a description.D. To give more evidence.3. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. long time drive may decrease the driver’s IQB. smoking and bad diet can cause cognitive declineC. people should participate in more stimulating activitiesD. an increasing number of Americans drive to work every day【答案】1.B 2.D 3.CCIt used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan —a character from James Matthew Barrie’s 1911 book —said: “All children, except one, grow up.”But this “fact” doesn’t seem to apply to today’s world anymore.According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the children’s toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials — people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes refer red to as “kidults”.According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today’s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve.“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attr active about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “That’s actually quite sad.”But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “It’s just pop culture stuff. It’s stuff that says, ‘I like a little of this and I like a little of that’,” he told ABC News. “It’s no big deal.”So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it’s time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline (标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的), but growing up is optional.”1. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?A. Something old is not suitable for a new world.B. Many adults still have some childlike features.C. All children grow up as they become adults.D. It’s difficult for some children to grow up in today’s world.2. Which of the following statements is true?A. Frederique Tutt believes that some adults enjoy playing with children’s toys to escape the stress.B. Rob Willner believes that the pleasure brought by toys is easier to achieve.C. Frank Furendi believes that the thrill of youth does not attract adults.D. Todd McFarlane is worrying too much about collecting toys.3. What is the writer’s attitude towards the trend of growing kidults?A. SupportiveB. DoubtfulC. CriticalD. Indifferent4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Growing Old Or Growing UpB. Toys Sales On The RiseC. Staying Young ForeverD. Kidults In Fashion Again【答案】1.B 2.A 3.A 4.C第二节（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余部分。

ABenjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days ,a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old，Mr.Pennington returned for another visit .He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.
