AAlice Walker makes her living by writing. And her poems, short stories, and novels have won many prizes for her. She was born in Eatonton, Georgia; she went to public schools there, and then to Spelman College in Atlanta before coming to New York to attend Sarah Lawrence College, from which she graduated in 1965.For a time she lived in Jackson, Mississippi, with her lawyer husband and small daughter.About Langston Hughes: American Poet, her first book for children, she says,” After my first meeting with Langston Hughes, I promised I would write a book for children someday. Why? Because I, at twenty-two, knew next to nothing of his work, and he didn’t scold me. He just gave me a pile of his books. And he was kind to me. I will always be thankful that in his warmth he fulfilled my deepest dream (and need) of what a poet should be.”“To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t think of him or speak of him. Once, just before he died, when he was sick with the flu, I took him a full basket of oranges. The joy I felt in giving that simple gift is undiminished (没有减弱) by time. He said he liked oranges, too.”21. In the passage, Alice Walker is .A. a researcher at Sarah Lawrence CollegeB. a professor at Sarah Lawrence CollegeC. a prize-winning writerD. a writer of plays for children22. From the passage we can conclude that Alice Walker was twenty-two years old when .A. she moved to Jackson, MississippiB. she moved to New YorkC. she first met with Langston HughesD. Langston Hughes died23. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Langston Hughes’ books about Alice Walker.B. The childhood of Alice Walker and Langston Hughes.C. Langston Hughes, American poet.D. Alice Walker’s reflection on Langston Hughes.BSchool had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun —maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”24. Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1?A. To check the patient’s brain.B. To reduce the patient’s headache.C. To prevent the patient from throwing up.D. To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.25. What can we know about the radiation treatment?A. It can be received at home.B. It has to be finished in a month.C. It may make the patients feel worried.D. It will cause huge physical pain for patients.26. What does Cook do to help the children being treated?A. Offer them some free masks as gifts.B. Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.C. Dress them up as cartoon characters.D. Make the masks more interesting to kids.27. What does the author want to show by telling this story?A. Love can treat the terrible sickness.B. Kindness can bring warmth and joy.C. Health matters to everyone.D. Creativity leads to success.CWhat is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”.The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life, because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy?How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I’ve got a very long way to go them!Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It’s the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.28. What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognition.B. Being an unhappy millionaire.C. Something impossible to define simply.D. Succeeding in doing what you want.29. According to the text, humans are different from animals in .A. beliefB. imaginationC. freedomD. success30. What can be the best title for the text?A. What is successB. No true successC. How to be successfulD. Success is reaching a destination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。

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)ADo you really care who wins Oscars?On February 24 this year,the Academy Awards were presented to actors,actresses,directors,musicians and many other people.Usually they are the "best" and we,the audience,are persuaded that this is true.This year,the nominations (提名)for Best Picture include Black Panther,Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book.According to many people,these are great movies,as are the performers who bring the stories to life.Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star.However,Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016,but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing.I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor.And of course,let's not forget Romeo and Juliet.I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning.I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people.They most certainly are talented.What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have.After all ,at this year's Golden Globe Awards,Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did.So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics (评论家)say.If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is,go and watch the film he or she stars in.1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage?______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors.B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films.C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films.D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4?______A. Express.B. Understand.C. Change.D. Show.3.In the author's opinion,what is the best way to judge an actor?______A. To see if he has won an Oscar.B. To read what critics say.C. To judge him by watching his acting.D. To see how many awards he has won.BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ .A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks.D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends.Being with them,you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world.How do these "friend magnets (磁铁)" do it?It's simple:they're truly interested in people.The people they meet feel important and special,so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends! (1)Ask questions and listen to the answers.Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and thought,"Wow,that person is really interested in what I have to say!" Chances are that he was asking you questions and truly listening to your answers.In a conversation,ask people about things they are interested in or their opinions on something.(2) If you land on a topic that someone is excited about,bingo!Watch your body language.(3) If you are interested in what someone has to say,you'll most likely smile encouragingly,and meet her eyes.Otherwise,you'll probably stare into space or tap your foot.(4) Is it hard to picture yourself walking down the hall handing out praise to everyone?(Nice jacket,Principal D!" "Love the jeans,Popular girl!")Of course it is---you'd feel more fake than a three-dollar bill!

He looked around, but no one else was near the ticket.All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other.Karl decided to write his name on the blank line.Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he'd already earned.With so many chances,at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sist er's birthday present, just like what he had been hoping for.He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest (胸膛), and it wasn't his heartbeat.He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out (弄清楚).He did find the ticket, but he hadn't earned it.Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it.But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister.

We don’t understand you, sir!”“Well, come and I will tell you a story.”“Is it a true story?”“Yes, every word is true.”“Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones very accurately.”“One day I went to work for an old couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many birds making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young chicks there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily.”“During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat on a pole and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my utmost skill. It struck the bird on the head and she dropped dead!”“I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. I could never look at them in the face afterwards. Oh, that I should have told them how sorry I was!”“They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me! My dear boys, I would pay agreat deal today if I could undo what I did!“For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before, but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.”The boys at once dropped the stones they had in their hands, and the bird had no more trouble from them.1.Why did the boy throw stones at the bird?A.Because she was too noisy to the boy.B. Because she had a voice nature gave her.C.Because the stone always rebounded to the boy.D.

The boy that throws stones.C. The birds that sing well.D. The old man that tells stories.CFor some people, there’s no better companion than man’s best friend – a dog. This four-legged canine can bring comfort and joy and provide much-needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because peoplespent more time at home during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.It was demand for puppies in particular that saw the biggest increase. Who couldn’t resist their playful personalities, adorable eyes, and super-soft coats?However, as demand for a new pooch increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for £3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fear that high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling(贩卖) or dog theft. And a BBC investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies(幼犬) and kittens on social media sites – something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue centre or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard to come to terms with life in a new home. Animal behaviourists in the UK have reported a surge in requests to help dogs suffering from fear-aggression(害怕攻击) after their lives have been turned upside down.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare(幸福安康) of these much-loved pets. Ian Atkin, manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in the UK, told the BBC: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Claire Calder from the UK’s Dogs Trust rescue charity says “the economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look after a dog.” The message is not to buy a puppy in haste and to pick one that fits into your lifestyle.1.Why did dog ownership increase during the coronavirus pandemic?A.Because people were looking for companionship and exercise.B.Because dogs were also locked down together with people.C.Because dogs became more playful, lovely and likeable.D.Because the price of dogs increased at the same time.2.What does the underlined phrase “come to terms with”most probably mean?A. rescueB. regretC. accessD. accept3.How might going back to work affect the life of a dog?A. Its price would be increased sharplyB. It might be sold on social mediaC. It can be smuggled and stolenD. It could suffer from separation anxiety4.The author writes this article mainly to talk about_______________.A. some concerns about the welfare of pet dogs.B. some bad behaviors people do to pet dogs.C. why people should raise a pet dog at home.D. why dogs are becoming more and more expensiveDThis new Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service honors Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu(1912-1997), one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.The stamp art features a detailed portrait of Wu, wearing a black-and-white traditional Chinese dress known as qipao. The background was painted with an ancient, highly valued color historically used in artistic depictions of angels and nobleness.During a career of more than 40 years in a field dominated(主宰) by men, Wu proved herself as the expert on marking research to test fundamental(基础的) theories of physics.In 1944, Wu accepted a position under the Division of War Research at Columbia University working for the Manhattan project. Carrying out highly secret research for the production of the world's first atomic bomb, Wu made invaluable contributions to the experimental process of using the uranium atom(铀原子).After the war ended, Wu stayed on at Columbia as a research professor, focusing herexperimentation on beta decay(β衰变). With imagination and careful research, she created a more precise spectrometer(分光器) to finally explain the problem of beta decay, one that had troubled physicists in America and across Europe for many years.In 1956, theoretical physicists Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang approached Wu for help in developing a theory that challenged the foundational law of conservation of parity(宇称守恒定律). Wu created a thoughtful and difficult experiment to test the theory. She observed that, in weak interactions(弱相互作用), parity is not conserved-a finding that helped the two lead physicists earn the Nobel Prize in Physics.Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with original art by Kam Mak.The Chien-Shiung Wu stamp is being issued(发行) as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.1. What do we know about Chien-Shiung Wu from this article?A. She liked wearing Chinese clothes.B. She worked for the first atomic bomb.C. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics.D. She was the best female scientist in physics.2. How can we describe Chien-Shiung Wu's research?A. FocusedB. Independent.C. RoughD. Part-time3. Why does the new stamp honor Dr Chien-Shiung Wu?A. She was a Chinese American.B. She always helped other physicists.C. She was a female scientist in the man-dominated field.D. She contributed much to many theories of physics.4. What is the purpose of this article?A. To praise a scientist.B. To introduce a new stamp.C. To talk about a science research.D. To discuss the art of stamps.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)ADo you really care who wins Oscars?On February 24 this year,the Academy Awards were presented to actors,actresses,directors,musicians and many other people.Usually they are the "best" and we,the audience,are persuaded that this is true.This year,the nominations (提名)for Best Picture include Black Panther,Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book.According to many people,these are great movies,as are the performers who bring the stories to life.Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star.However,Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016,but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing.I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor.And of course,let's not forget Romeo and Juliet.I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning.I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people.They most certainly are talented.What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have.After all ,at this year's Golden Globe Awards,Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did.So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics (评论家)say.If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is,go and watch the film he or she stars in.1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage?______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors.B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films.C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films.D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4?______A. Express.B. Understand.C. Change.D. Show.3.In the author's opinion,what is the best way to judge an actor?______A. To see if he has won an Oscar.B. To read what critics say.C. To judge him by watching his acting.D. To see how many awards he has won.BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mindwhile eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ .A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks.D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments areneeded to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends.Being with them,you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world.How do these "friend magnets (磁铁)" do it?It's simple:they're truly interested in people.The people they meet feel important and special,so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends!

There,lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase, was a golden ticket! He picked it up.His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank (空白的).The boys and girls in Karl's class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week his teacher, Miss Evans,drew a ticket out of a jar (广口瓶), and let the winner choose a prize.Karl couldn't believe his luck.The golden ticket was going to be drawn, and here was another ticket, just for him . He looked around, but no one else was near the ticket.All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other.Karl decided to write his name on the blank line.Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he'd already earned.With so many chances,at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sist er's birthday present, just like what he had been hoping for.He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest (胸膛), and it wasn't his heartbeat.He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out (弄清楚).He did find the ticket, but he hadn't earned it.Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it.But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister. "When you make a right choice, you can feel peaceful inside. You never have to feel bad about your choice later."注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语.Paragraph l:He put the pencil back in his pocket.Paragraph 2:"Karl, I'd like you to have another ticket," Miss Evans said.答案和解析1.【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】B【小题3】C【解析】1.D.细节理解题.根据文章第三段However,Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016,but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing.I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor然而,莱昂纳多在2016年之前从未获得过奥斯卡奖.但这并不意味着他的电影并不令人惊讶.我只需要提到泰坦尼克号和华尔街之狼,你就会清楚地看到他是一名优秀的演员.可知会在这篇文章中提到莱昂纳多因为他是一个好演员,但直到2016年才获得奥斯卡奖;故选D.2.B.词义猜测题.根据文章第四段I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning.I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people恐怕有人误解了我的意思,我不是说那些获得奥斯卡奖的人不是天才;可知意为理解;故选B.3.C.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics (评论家) say.If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is,go and watch the film he or she stars in如果你想知道一个男演员或女演员到底有多好,就去看他或她主演的电影吧.可知在作者看来,判断演员的最佳方式是看他的表演;故选C本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了我们不要仅仅根据影评人(评论家)的话来评判一个男演员或女演员,应该根据他的表演来判定.考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.4.【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】A【小题3】D【解析】【文章大意】本文属于说明文阅读。
