It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market，where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。

How about an ice-Cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Justask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream – as well as for developing over 75 flavors （味道）.Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No –there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food – science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the prod uct have the color expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste! Continuing to think up new ideas、try out new flavors、and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy –working at once cool job.46．what is John Harrison’s job?A．An official.B．An ice-cream taster.C．A chemist.D．An ice-cream manufacturer.47．According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .A．keep a diary of workB．have a degree in related subjectsC．have new ideas every dayD．find out new flavors each day48．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A．He stirs the ice cream.B．He examines the color of the ice cream.C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D．He lets the ice cream warm up.49．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? A．Tasting with EyesB．Flavors of Ice CreamC．John Harrison’s LifeD．One Cool JobB篇Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stopLieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about foo d anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality（个性）and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how, Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company（航空公司）was looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.50. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family ____.A. have relatives in EuropeB. love cooking at homeC. often hold partiesD. own a restaurant51. The Food Network got to know Lieberman ____.A. at one of his partiesB. from his teachersC. through his taped showD. on a television program52. What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?A. A natural ability to attract others.B. A way to show one’s achievement.C. Lieberman’s after-class interest.D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.53. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.54. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?A. He is clever but lonely.B. he is friendly and active.C. He enjoys traveling around.D. He often changes his menus.1-5.DABAD6-10.AACBB11-15.BAABB16-20.CAACD21-25.DADBC26-45：BCDAB; BCDCA; DADCA; BABCA46-54 BBDD BCADB。

You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups.

Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.61.

Popular entertainersBA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their c hildren’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children totake part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.65. What is the aim of the plan?A. To prevent the students’ road accidentsB. To relieve the traffic pressureC. To save time for the parents and studentsD. To help the parents save money66. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A. By letting the bus run in the morning onlyB. By limiting the number of the studentsC. By getting the support from the headmasterD. By linking the new bus service with the existing one67. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A. The bus company will make much more moneyB. The children can choose whatever school they likeC. The parents can get rid of their worriesD. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides68. This passage is most probably _____A. a personal letterB. an advertisementC. a headmaster’s reportD. a newspaper articleCEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not onlydoes he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(溃烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something; showing us something, emphasizing something----- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.69. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______.A. most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter use shapes and colors instead of wordsD. many painters do not say anything70. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.A. carries a message to the publicB. only provides interesting patternsC. has no pattern or formD. teaches the public important truths71. The writer says that modern art contains______A. nothing but meaningless patternsB. uninteresting aspects of the worldC. subjects chosen partly for their meaningD. completely meaningless subjects72. Which of the following is implied but NOT directly stated in the passage?A. A painting is more easily understood than a songB. Art is only the arranging of shapes and colorsC. Every artist tries to say something to the publicD. One must look beyond shapes and colors to find out what an artist is sayingDFucheng Garden Villas is situated along the North 4th Ring Road, just 2 kilometres east away from the Asian Games Village with easy traffic connection.

Not only equipment but also all materials of the construction and the decoration are made in AmericaETo find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) their borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the country’s history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a hu ge “village” Canada is!76. In the early sixteenth century, the King of France ordered Cartier to ______A. find the new worldB. build an entirely new countryC. go and visit the American IndiansD. get more information about America and find a way to Asia77. Having reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence Cartier thought _____A. he had already got to IndiaB. it was a water way to the New WorldC. it was a water passage to the EastD. he had sailed into the Atlantic78. In the early sixteenth century, Quebec was only ____.A. an Indian villageB. a little town in southern CanadaC. a village at the entrance to the Gulf of St. LawrenceD. the place which we call Canada now79. Pick out the right statements from the following _____A. Quebec was a village and Stadacona was anotherB. Cartier mistook Quebec for StadaconaC. Stadacona was a village in QuebecD. Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec then80.“Canada” was first used to refer to _____A. a small town in StadaconaB. the place called QuebecC. a long water passageD. a huge village including Quebec and Stadacona第二卷第一节．短文改错Ben and his wife were on their way of a dinner party.

Unit 1 Living well(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·南宁二中、柳州高中联考)Every year at this time,the peasants began their long religious journey to Geed­leh,to visit the church there, and to pray for God’s help. Theywalked or rode in wagons; they crowded the roads leading tothe holy town, f or Geed­leh was famous in Poland as a place where God did miracles. The cool autumn days also brought many beggars to Geed­leh. The peasants gave away more of their money on such a religious holiday as this. Some of the beggars were blind; some had no feet or arms. Some were very old and seemed like lost children looking for their mothers.There was one among them who was called “the Mute Singer”. He was given this name because he could not speak. There was a time when he was able to sing, while playing his guitar. But he lost his voice. Now he played the guitar and sang, but no sounds came from his throat. His lips just moved with the music.The Mute Singer was a tall, strange­looking man. His face and hands were brown. He had white hair and a white beard：he looked like one of the wise men you read about in the Bible.Early one morning I saw the Mute Singer washing himself at the river. He smiled and touched the ground with his hand, meaning that I should sit down. Then, he pointed his finger straight up, to tell me that he had a surprise for me.Suddenly, he put his hand into the water and rubbed two of his fingers together, making a strange sound, exactly like the sound of a frog. He did it many times, and then he lightly hit the top of the water, sending little waves across the water to the other side.Suddenly, everything around us seemed to be moving. I could not believe that it was real. Thousands of frogs came racing toward us, jumping, and swimming... under the water and on top of the water. I began to shake with excitement.The frogs crowded around us. I could see their heads and eyes showing above the top of the water.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了每年农民们去往朝圣的路上都会遇到一些乞丐，并重点讲述了其中的一位“沉默的歌者”。

AI’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago.I remembered his name and said, “Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he ha s said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?”I have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: You couldn’t accept tips(小费). Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in t he car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应) is to take a quarter and give it to me. I say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.”When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t,”they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.”And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really can’t.”It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically(身体上) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.21. What can be the best title for this text?A. How Hard Life is for Box BoysB. Getting along with CustomersC. Why I Gave up My JobD. The Art of Taking Tips22. From the second paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his jobB. with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC. Mr Castle mistook Irving for BrettD. Irving was the writer’s real name23. The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.A. customers only gave small tipsB. some customers had strange ideas about tippingC. the store forbade the box boys to take tipsD. he didn’t want to fight with the customers24. The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph pr obably means ________.A. misunderstoodB. defeatedC. hatefulD. hurtBEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for—its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount V esuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ---a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.25. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived.26. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.27. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.CExcused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chut e? You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis’ Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.28. The purpose in writing this text is ________.A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB. to introduce a recycling system for high risesC. to describe the use of computer technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises29. When he say s “You won’t be for long” the writer means that ________.A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB. rubbish chutes will become out of date before longC. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbishD. it won’t be long before you’ll have t o recycle your rubbish30. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ________.A. lock the other floors’ chute doorsB. check if the container is fullC. press the correct buttonD. break up the rubbish31. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________.A. it reduces the cost of recyclingB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipmentDOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can seesome possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That’s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.32. A particular mention made of Sta pledon’s book in the opening paragraph ________.A. serves as a description of human historyB. serves an introduction to the discussionC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. shows the popularity of the book33. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in orderto show that ________.A. human history is extremely longB. life has changed a great dealC. it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future34. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.A. tools used in farmingB. ideas about modern lifeC. unknown things in the futureD. hunting skills in the Stone Age35. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.A. serve the interests of the present and future generationsB. enable us to better understand human historyC. help us to improve farmingD. make life worth living第二节(共5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。
