While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers,a restaurant owner in the U.S. is taking it to a whole new level. Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal. The atmosphere（气氛）at his restaurant “Tim's Place” is so positive(积极的)that customers often call it the "World's friendliest restaurant”."Tim's Hug” is in fact an item on the menu described as a "love” treat. Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everyt hing he has achieved. The 26-year-old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer(唐氏综合症患者)in the U.S. to own a rest aurant，but he has several other things to be proud of— he's a skillful special Olympian,an excellent sailor,and all experience d fisherman. He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school! So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself,supported him. Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking,and he introduced the idea of free hugs. He realized that people want t o feel at home at a restaurant. That is why he included "love” as all item on the menu. Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't,he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010，and Tim has given out over 19,000 hugs in the past five years — he kee ps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting "Tim's Place". "I've been coming here once a week." sa id Michelle Garth-Jones,a regular customer. "I love local restaurants,and this special one has a story that stays with you."（1） Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?（2） Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris?（3） What may be the best title for this passage?15. 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

stuttered（口吃）．Then （13）of performing in front of people made me worried．The reason why I （14）to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program．On the day of the audition（试演），there were also some acting exercises to warm us up．We were divided into pairs to （15）parts of the play．I felt very worried．After I said some of the lines（台词），my partner said，"I （16）you are stuttering．Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter？"I was speechless．When my （17）to audition came，my heart was beating fast．Across from me sat the director and his assistants（助手）．Needless to say．I was

stutter．We went through itseveral times，and finally it was over．I was so （20），The next Monday I was told that I had made the play．How excited I was!It was a lot of fun doing the play，and it was clear

neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）areboth fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In geography magazine．D．In a farming book．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip ﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26﹣year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000 hugsin the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this special one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a

the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on sharperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．Alice B．The March HareC．The Hatter D．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the

children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe

homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"五、适当形式填空（A)41．（1分）Don't touch the（break）glasses．It may hurt your hand．42．（1分）More action must be taken to

animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them floatthrough the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？B A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，D．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in

book．【分析】文章大意：这是一篇日常文化类阅读，主要介绍地球上除了动物和植物以外，还有很多有机体，其中真菌就是其中之一，很多菌类很恶心，但是有一些对我们的生活是有益的，比如酵母来做面包，蘑菇等．菌类可以用来治疗和挽救人们的生命，清理地球等，如果没有真菌我们的世界将是一片混乱．【解答】23．答案：B．词意猜测题．A强壮的．B讨厌的．C积极的．D小的．根据后面such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．比如在冰箱里留太久的食物上出现的绿色黑色的东西．可知，应该是很多菌类看起来"令人厌恶的"，选B．24．答案：D．细节理解题．根据倒数第二行Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．其他种类的真菌可以用来做药，从而挽救了许多人的生命．及最后一段第二行They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a house cleaning它们分解它们．变为土壤．真菌得到一顿饭，世界有了一个大扫除．可知，有些菌类对人类和环境有益．选D．25．答案：B．文章来源题．A在一份社会报告中．B在生物学书中．C在一个地理杂志．D在一本农业书中．短文主要介绍菌类的种类，及对人们和地球的影响．因此应该是来源于生物书中，选B．【点评】阅读题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据所给问题选择正确选项完成试题．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip ﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？CA．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones
