It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better? We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.24．What do we know about Anne of Green Gables?A．It is a recent release.B．It covers real events.C．It is a timeless classic.D．It features world history.25．What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3?A．She is true to herself.B．She achieves her goal.C．She is talented in drawing.D．She cares about others.26．Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19?A．Time waits for no man.B．Do one thing at a time.C．Fortune favours the brave.D．Stop and smell the roses.27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To tell a story.B．To remember a writer.C．To teach a lesson.D．To recommend a book.Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”28．What does the robot do?A．Plant new tulips.B．Clear troubled bulbs.C．Kill deadly virus.D．Harvest grown flowers.29．What can we infer from Visser’s words?A．He dreams of a sports car.B．Tulip fields are low in production.C．The robot is worth the cost.D．Farmers lack technical knowledge. 30．What is the key to making the robots work effectively?A．GPS systems.B．High-tech cameras.C．Daily training.D．Human knowledge.31．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip FarmingB．Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging FarmersC．Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the NetherlandsD．Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip BusinessesParents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them towin. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.32．What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Make sense.B．Face doubts.C．Bring relief.D．Start debates.33．What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?A．Inability to tell right from wrong.B．A sense of satisfaction.C．Eagerness to follow their friends.D．Lack of social experience.34．How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study?A．It starts fights between them.B．It inspires them to question.C．It weakens their independence.D．It helps them to learn better.35．What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom?A．Conduct group discussion.B．Improve time management.C．Encourage personal opinions.D．Develop decision-making skills.Standing at the top of a staircase in the Louvre in Paris, the Nike, or the Winged Victory (胜利女神), looks down over her admiring crowds. This statue is one of the most famous artworks of Greek art. 36 Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866.The Nike consists of two parts: a large ship’s front part, and a standing statue with a totalheight of more than eighteen feet. It looks like the Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky. 37 The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea.38The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. 39 She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face.40 As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before.A．This means that she cannot have held any object.B．The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories.C．It was found on a Greek island in the Aegean sea in 1863.D．This statue was made by artists who left no names in history.E．It’s hard for them to believe such a lifelike statue is made of stone.F．Landing on top of the ship, she celebrates the victory of an ancient battle.G．Despite its incomplete survival, the Winged Victory is truly a masterpiece.三、完形填空Jason Smith is a published children’s author and award-winning poet.

广东省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解There’s a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to celebrate the pollinators (传粉昆虫) dwelling in hives, fields and gardens around the globe since 2015. It draws much concern on bees and there’s a good reason to pay attention to them.“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Hien Ngo, a pollinator expert from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Ngo says they only make up a minority of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss are putting many of those species a risk.“Bees really provide for us in many ways, like food and human well-being. They’re also important to our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,” Ngo says. They even provide inspiration for TikTok, where Erika Thompson，a professional beekeeper in Austin,Texas, shares her work.“The landlord wanted to call an exterminator (根除者), but the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me,” she says in her video.Her fans watch with happiness — and sometimes a little horror-as she picks up mounds (成堆) of bees with her bare hands and then moves them somewhere safer.“I’ve removed bees from a lot of crazy places,” Thompson says. “You know, I’ve removed bees from homes, RVs, tires, speakers and even a toilet.”Thompson’s work is about more than getting millions of views per video. “Bees are just a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems,” she notes. 1．What can we know about World Bee Day?A．It has a long history of hundreds of years.B．It is celebrated on May 22 every year.C．It is designated by the United Kingdom.D．People pay more attention to bees because of it.2．Which factor that makes many bees in danger is NOT mentioned?A．The change of climate. B．The shortage of food.C．The damage to their habitat. D．The application of pesticides. 3．What’s Ngo’s attitude towards celebrating World Bee Day? A．Unconcerned. B．Neutral (中立的).C．Negative. D．Supportive.4．What’s the best title for the text?A．A Video-on BeesB．How to Celebrate World Bee Day?C．Why Should We Celebrate World Bee Day?D．How Can We Human Beings Protect Bees?I live in central London. It’s crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury’s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It’s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can’t remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it’s something I can practice and you can too.For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I’ll meet someone who will make my day.I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before evenapplying.Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don’t be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.5．Why does the author say that he is like a robot?A．He has to work hard.B．He is as smart as a robot.C．He has little time to enjoy his life.D．He seldom makes a connection with strangers.6．What do we know about the author’s mother?A．She has good people skills. B．She is fond of giving advice. C．She has strong belief in magic. D．She is unaware of her privacy concerns. 7．What did the author think about what his mother did?A．It was helpful to her. B．It was none of her business.C．It should be more spontaneous. D．It failed to solve any problems. 8．What does the author suggest?A．Staying away from strangers.B．Keeping in touch with your old friends.C．Communicating with those you encounter.D．Avoiding sharing personal information with others.On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself bending the top of his body forward and raising his shoulders and back and walking slowly up to the platform where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,”says Owen,who builta successful career on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man. He was about25 pounds overweight and had trouble with his back, knees and shoulders.Later, instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-yeargoal.He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise-even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up. Owen began walking though he was out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down,he started lifting weights and hired a personal trainer to teach him and design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed,which turned out to be cycling and swimming.In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes,he was free of aches and pains“Aging is only about 25% genes, and the rest is lifestyle,“he says.“As long as you’re still mobile, it’s never too late to become more healthy.”Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50,in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. He says,“Think of it as movement not exercise.Get started even if you walk just three blocks, which was all I could manage at first.”He adds,“The key is slow and steady progress. Not every investment pays off,but it is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life.”9．What can we learn about Owen from the video?A．He was a tough guy.B．He was in bad physical condition.C．He was overweight but straight in shape.D．He was wealthy and enthusiastic about exercise.10．Why did Owen decide to set a five-year goal?A．To relieve pain.B．To lose weight.C．To write a book.D．To encourage investment.11．Which of the following does Owen agree with?A．It’s better to get started earlier.B．Genes play a key role in anti-aging.C．Healthy lifestyle is vital in delaying aging.D．Exercise quickly promotes physical recovery.12．What can be concluded from the text?A．Bad news has wings. B．A good medicine tastes bitter. C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．It is never too old to work out.It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time and space. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops.Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, one of the pioneers of research into how language manipulates our thoughts, has shown that English speakers typically view time as a horizontal (平的) line. They tend to view time as travelling from left to right, most likely in line with how you are reading the text on this page.Languages also encode (编码) time in their grammar. In English, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present — we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, which means “it rains tomorrow”— you don’t need to build the future into the grammar.But does this affect how we think? In 2013, Keith Chen, a behavioral economist at the University of California, set out to test whether people who speak languages that are “futureless” might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages. For example, German, Chinese, and Japanese have no linguistic barrier between the present and the future, while “futured languages” , such as English, French, Italian and Spanish, encourage speakers to view the future as something separate from the present.He discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future-focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had gained 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke and 29% more likely to be physically active.It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us, which is not to say that any one language is “better” thananother. But being aware of how languages differ can help you think, navigate and communicate better. And while being multilingual (多语的) won’t necessarily make you a genius, we all can gain a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language.13．What does the underlined word “manipulates” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Weakens. B．Shapes. C．Impacts. D．Deepens. 14．How does the author organize paragraph 3?A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.C．By giving definitions. D．By explaining the reasons.15．What were speakers of futureless languages likely to do?A．Smoke and drink.B．Be mentally active.C．Spend money without restriction.D．Take part in future-focused activities.16．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．One language is much better than another.B．Being multilingual can help you become a genius.C．Learning a new language can change your way of life.D．Language has an impact on how we think about the world.二、七选五Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don’t mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. 17 . It turned out that I was too optimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected. 18 . The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. 19 .I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worrythat I wouldn’t finish it. 20 . It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. 21 . It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).A．Hiking could make me fly.B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.E．I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.F．It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.G．A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities.三、完形填空A seven-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people to cycle from Londonto him.Rupert’s life was 32 forever when his Dad passed away in 2019.

Best known for his CNN, Ted Turner launched a second nationwide all-news network, Headline News, purchased the Atlanta Braves baseball team, and became the world's best yachtsman at the America's Cup in 1977. In 1982 Ted Turner was named by Forbes one of the 400 richest people in the US. He was named Time magazine's "Man of the Year" in 1992. How did Ted Turner accomplish all of this at such a young age?Ted Turner's father, Ed, was a self-made millionaire who demanded that his only son try to achieve similar success. He instilled in the boy a strong belief that hard work was good. Besides reading a new book every two days, Ted Turner was also charged rent at home during summer vacations from boarding school. Ed Turner was a strong influence in his son's life.As a child, Ted Turner lived a very lonely life, often separated from his family. He was enrolled in a military academy in the fifth grade and eventually went to Brown University. He attended college off and on, became involved in sailboat racing, and became a member of the U.S. Coast Guard. In his early twenties, Ted Turner became general manager of one of his father's branch offices in Georgia.Two years later after his father’s suicide, Ted Turner took over the company. He soon discovered that he was more skilled than his father in managing the business. During the next twenty years, Ted Turner worked hard to accumulate enough power and money to fulfill his father's dream.Reflecting on his father's death, however, Ted Turner realized that it was dangerous to put too much emphasis on material possessions. He decided to use his hard-earned influence to serve the public. Concerned about the environment, Ted Turner established the Better World Society in 1985. The purpose of this organization was to produce documentaries to educate people about pollution, hunger, and the danger of building weapons of mass destruction. In 1986 Turner began sponsoring the Goodwill Games to promote world peace. The Turner Tomorrow Awards were created to encourage writers and thinkers to focus their attention on solving world problems. The Turner Family Foundation was established in 1992.4.

He demanded the same level of success as he father.CPresident Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket."I just miss – I miss being anonymous," he said. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, gettinginto my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit,getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk."His dream, he said, was to "go through Central Park and watch folks passing by ... spend the day watching people – I miss that".Faced with criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simplythe best way of getting relaxed."It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours," he told Hearst magazines.Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House,he felt disillusioned（醒悟的，幻想破灭的）with the some of the ways of Washington,which he has failed to change, such as the "kabuki dance（日本歌舞）" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin. His comments may be seen as excuse by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached（漠然）, and being slow to engage in important issues such as Libya and the near shutdown ofthe US government last week.Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr Obama has already racked up（打）60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years.In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century.8.According to Obama, he plays golf to ___________.A release his pressureB keep fitC balance his workD show his ability9.We can infer from the passage that Obama is _____________kubuki dance.A curious aboutB interested inC content withD tired of10 which of the following statements is from the critics?A The president lost lots of privacy, but he loves the life in the White HouseB There are always unnecessary procedures among political parties.C The president seems to be indifferent towards some really important issuesD. The president is really a great golf player.11 Which is the passage mainly about?A Obama’s favourite pastimeB Obama’s complaints about lack of privacy as presidentsC The public’s criticism of ObamaD Obama’s regrets for being the US presidentDn his fascinating new book The Sibling Effect: What Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters Reveal About Us Jeffrey Kluger a father of two daughters, describes what happens in our life, about which we may not show much concern. For example, he claim s that “95% percent of parents in the world have a favourite child -and the other 5percent are lying”Kluger may be overstating the figures for dramatic effect— but despite every parent ’sStrong denial （否认）that they have a favorite child 一scientific research shows thathe is not far off the truth.According to a recent study by professor Scott and other researchers from the University of California 一which followed 384 sibling pairs and their parents for three years 一65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers showed a preference for one child. As this was amongfamilies that knew they were being monitored ，there ’s a strong possibility that a significantly larger number of parents could favor a child in life.Favoritism is certainly a controversial topic. When raised as a subject for discussion among parents, it always arouses a stream of great annoyance and immediate denials. Butinterestingly, a lot of personal anecdotes appear from parents Who say they wereovershadowed by a favored sibling ，or were, indeed ，their mother or father ’s favorite.Other research ，where siblings have been asked to say who their mother and father favor ，suggests that mothers do tend to show a preference for their first-born son ,but fathers oftenshow great affection for their youngest daughters. Parents will often be drawn to the child whois easiest to get along With ---or the child that shares similar character to them. For example,mom will have a special bond with her sensitive son who has a talent for art, while dad will pay special attention to his sporty daughter.Professor Scott says being favored or not in a family can color our behavior as adults. "Children who feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop lowself-esteem ，anxiety and depression. ”He also agrees that favored children can find life more difficult when they have to struggle to manage their existence in the real world,12. In Paragraph 2 ，what does the writer think Of Kluger's claim?A. It is a fact to some degree.B. It produces dramatic effect.C. It is the result ofa study.b. It is nothing but a warning.13 .When asked if they have a favorite child ，parents tend toA. show a great interest to the topicB . complain about being ignored when youngC. be angry and refuse to admit itD. express their preference for the youngest child14. Professor Scott believes that ．一一一一A. favored children will have more courage when facing difficulties in lifeB. parent’s way of treating children affects their behavior when they grow upC. being less favored in a family does more harm than being favoredD. least-favored children will not show great respect for their parents15 . Which Of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Love is Essential to a Child ’s GrowthB. Every Parent Has a Favorite ChildC. Bonds among Sisters and BrothersD. Parents' Favoritism Affects a ChildEOver the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles With the British. However ，they ’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence ，and Britain for some of the worst cooking the world. But according to a recentsurvey ，that reputation may no longer reflect reality .In the survey ,71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day ，while only 59 ％of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each weekand also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improvedsince the 1990s ．Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting withthe huge range Of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kindsof new dishes , using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result ，there's much more diversity in British food now ，compared to French food ，which tends to be very traditional.Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don't cook as much as they used to because most Of them workand don ’t have much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes ，but many of them make up for it on the weekend.There's also a difference between Pairs and the country-side .It ’s true that people in Paris don't cook much, but elsewhere , cooking is still att he heart ofdaily life.For many French people, opinions about British food has not changed. When Bemard Blier,thefood editor at a magazine , was asked about British food, he replied: ‘I don ’t go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I’ m not a fan at all. ”16 . What does the underlined part in the first paragragh imply?A. French cooking is better than British cooking.B. The British defeated the French in many battles.C. British cooking is thought to be the worst.D. British cooking is now better than it was.17 . According to the passage ,nowadays British peopleA. cook less at home than the French every dayB. no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetablesC. are more willing to cooking kinds of new foodsD. buy more cookbooks than French people do18.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. French women cook less often now.B. The French prefer ready-made dishes.C.French women seldom cook on the weekend.D. Cooking is at the heart of people's life in Paris.19.What is Bernard’s attitude towards British food?A. He would love to try it.B.He shows no interest in it.C. He considers it worse than before.D.He considers it better than before.20 .What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The history of British food.B.The history of French food.C. The change in British food.D. The change in French food .完形填空At the airport I looked closely at the face of my son, Daniel ,his backpack by his side. We were saying good-bye. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 21 a different life. Itwas a transitional （过渡期的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to leave him some words of22 , But nothing came from my 23 and this was not the first time I had let such a moment 24.When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He looked at me 一as he did now. "What is it going to be like ,Dad? Will I be Okay? ” And then he walked up the 25 of the bus and disappeared inside. And the bus 26 , And I had said nothing.A decade or so later ,a similar 27 played itself out. I drove him to college 、I tried tothink Of something to say to give him 28 and confidence ” he started this new life. Again,words 29 me.Now，as I stood before him .I thought of those 30 oppotunities.How many times have we all such moments pass?My father and I loved each other. Yet,I always 31 never hearing him put his 32 into Words and never having the memory of that moment. Now I could feel my palms( 手掌）33and my throat tighten.
