So when her mom called to ask if she’d like to go shopping at the localfabric(布料) store for the coming Christmas, she couldn’t say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “I remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.Well, Terry’s mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she w hispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It’s your Christmas gift from me.” Terry’s eyes were filed with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curta ins for the kitchen. Rather, Terry’s mom’s kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn’t take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.“I was going to make my first quilt,” she explains. “Every nig ht I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and mak e everything okay.”On Christmas Day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift. 24．What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago?A. Terry made a living by making clothes.B.

Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store.25．Which of the following words best describes Terry’s mom?A. Strict.B. Critical.C. Faithful.D. Considerate.26．What made Terry change her idea about Christmas gifts?A. The value of the fabric.B. The responsibility for her family.C. The memory of her childhood.D. The endless love from her mother.27．W hat is the best title for the text?A. A Christmas DayB. The First QuiltC. Colorful FabricsD. Hard ChildhoodHave you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in, but Europeans take their drinks at room t emperature? In the U. S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it-dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat you rself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthyin Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks athigh-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So, next time you travel overseas, don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.28．Who has written the text?A. A European.B. An American.C. A Canadian.D. An Asian.29．Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature?A. Because they have no fridges.B. Because they have warm taps.C. Because they are accustomed to it.D. Because they can’t afford ice.30．What can we infer about Brits?A. They treat their guests to cold drinks.B. They always follow what Americans do.C. They don’t know where to get ice blocks.D. They have ice boxes later than Americans.31．What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’t.B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.D. How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.When it comes to mental illness, many people often find it tough to get the help they need. This is especially true for young students making the transition(过渡) to college life.“Sometimes, students don’t realize how hard it is to adjust to college,” said Laura Smith, associate dean of students at the University of Texas at Dallas. “You’re not the big fish in your classes anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; you’re away from home. Dealing with these things is not easy.”Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to reach out. But if students don’t feel comfortable seeking help, many feel that it’s the responsibility of their university to help them.“I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling(咨询) centers help students,” said Comnie Trinh. “Counseling services are just as important as academics and sports.”Trinh, 27, graduated from Texas Woman’s University in 2015. During college, she host ed various workshops on how to handle mental health conditions. Trinh used her own story to connect with students who might be facing similar problems. High academic pressures, cultural differences as an Asian American and stressful social situations stood out as some of the most common causes of Trinh’s anxiety.It was only after years of personal problems that she could admit that reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness.”If you feel you can’t connect with other people around you, you should address the issue without shame,” Trinh said. “You’ll find that there are a lot of people out there who sincerelywant to help you.”32．The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon.A. college lifeB. counseling serviceC. mental healthD. cultural differences33．What’s Trinh’s preferred solution to the problems mentioned?A. Making self-criticism.B. Handing the problems actively.C. Solving the problem on your own.D. Finding the causes of the problems.34．What does the underlined phrase “connect with” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Get along with.B. Join together with.C. Be related to.D. Get through to.35．What can we learn from the text?A. Counseling service helps doing research.B. Adjusting to college life is a piece of cake.C. Hosting workshops improves students’ ability.D. Being brave to get help is not a sign of weakness.三、七选五A new study suggests that the timing of a wound affects the speed at which it heals(愈合). Wounds suffered during the day heal around 60 percent faster than those at night.The study showed how the body’s circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) controlled the healing of wounds. 36．It ells our bodies when to wake up, eat and sleep in a cycle—a series of activities that repeat themselves day after day. 37．In the study, researchers found that skin cells moved faster to repair wounds suffered during the day. Their findings were published in the journal Science Transnational Medicine.The researchers examined cells, mice, and burn injury databases. 38．Night-time burns—burns suffered between 8 o’clock at night and 8 o’ clock the next morning—were 95percent healed after an average of 28 days.But after an average of 17 days, daytime burns-burns suffered between 8 o’clock in the morning and 8 o’clock at night—were 95 percent healed. 39．Wounds are very costly to treat. 40．In Britain’s National Health Services, for example, such services cost around $6.56 billion per year. Experts say the high costs result, in part, from a lack of drugs that speed up the closure of wounds.A. Each cycle lasts about 24 hours.B. The circadian rhythm is like a clock or timer.C. Specifically their investigation found the following information:D. The new study’s findings could help scientists develop better drugs.E. In other words, nigh-time injuries took an average of 11days longer to healF. Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on wound-treatment services.G. That’s what a group of researchers from a university in Canada recently published.第II卷（非选择题）请点击修改第II卷的文字说明四、提纲类作文41．假如你是长春市某高中生李华，最近你们班对本市开展的“绿色出行”（Green Transport）计划展开了讨论，该计划倡导市民骑自行车，并且提供了大批量公共自行车。

AYou've just finished a heavy meal and are full up. Suddenly, your host announces proudly that he will be serving his “house specialty” dessert, bananas flambe and that he has spent the better part o f the afternoon preparing it. Even though you are foil and don’t even like bananas, you accept a ser ving of his dessert and eat it all.Clearly, biological factors do not fully explain our eating behavior. Social factors, based on societ al rules and on what we have learned about appropriate eating behavior, also play an important rol e. Take, for example, the simple fact that people customarily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at approximately the same times every day. Because we tend to eat on schedule every day, we feel hungr y as the usual hour approaches.Similarly, we put roughly the same amount of food on our plate every day, even though the amoun t of exercise we may have had, and consequently our need for energy supply, varies from day to d ay. We also tend to prefer particular food over others. Rats and dogs may be a delicacy in certain Asian cultures, but few people in Western cultures find them appealing despite their potentially hi gh nutritional value. In sum, cultural influences and our individual habits play important roles in d etermining when, what, and how much we eat.Other social factors relate to our eating behavior as well. Some of us head toward the refrigerator a fter a difficult day, seeking comfort in a scoop of Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. Perhaps when we were children, our parents gave us food when we were upset. Eventually, we may have learned to associate food with comfort. Similarly, we may learn that eating, which focuses our attention on i mmediate pleasures, provides an escape from unpleasant thoughts. Consequently,we may eat whe n we feel upset and anxious.21. What causes you to accept the host's dessert offer at the end of the meal?A. Your hunger.B. The host’s pride.C. The pleasant taste.D. Social politeness.22. The author explains the factors in eating mainly by .A. making a comparison.B. using examples.C. analyzing the data.D. undertaking a survey.23. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Social Factors in Eating.B. Causes of Hunger.C. Table Manners at Meals.D. Cultural Differences in Eating.Many people prefer eating out instead of cooking at home. A change appears to be taking pla ce, though, and millennials are leading the way. According to one survey, more young people are s tarting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less f ood.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills.Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self- expression. They proudly pos t pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food. After roasting a chicken, they p ut the leftover bones in their freezer instead of the garbage can. Later, they use the bones to make chicken stock which is an important ingredient in many dishes.They also hate throwing out fruit that's too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees c. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, the y place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies. These serv ants use every part of the vegetables they buy, including their stems and. rots, in dishes, They also use beef, chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require. Before going to a market , they write down what they need and don't buy anything else. They way they won't purchase more food than they can consume.56. What is the main subject of this article?A. A cooking trend that has attracted millennials.B.A plan that mllennials have for donating food.C.A novel cooking technique that millennials like.D. A food production system favored by millennials.57. What do milllennials with fruit before freezing it?A. Mix it with other ingredients in a bowl.B. Carefully remove the skin and seeds from it.C. Use a sharp knife to chop it up into pieces.D. Put it in an oven at the proper temperature.58. According to this article, when do millennials make careful choices?A. When they dine out togetherB. Whey they vote for candidatesC. When they choose an employerD. When they plant a new garden59. According to this article, how do millennials avoid purchasing too much food?A They select small cans and packages.B. They prepare a practical shopping list.C. They leave their credit cards at home.D. They weigh produce before buying itCThe Haleakalā Movement, which has affected the Hawaiian people, involved many Hawaiian acti vistspeacefully protesting（抗议） against the construction of the Daniel K. Solar Telescope atop Haleakalā. Thetop of Haleakalā is a very sacred piece of land to Hawaiians. The problem is the leveling out of Ha leakalāto structurally support the base of the telescope. Hawaiians could not watch their sacred land atop theirmountain destroyed.The goal of the protesters was to stop the movement of the trucks hauling（拖拽）telescope parts to thetop of Haleakalā. At each event, protesters would march on the crosswalk in front of the base yard entranceholding signs that read “Aloha…Āina” and “Kūʻē,” meaning Love the Land and Resist respectivel y. Whenthe trucks started their engines, several protesters lay down in the driveway, with their arms linked togetherwith PVC pipes. Twenty of them were arrested.I, as a youth of this generation, am a part of those Hawaiians who stood against the construction of thetelescope and the destruction of our sacred mountain. I experienced first-hand and through social mediawhat happened at each protest. Each of the protests that I attended took place at the Maui Base yar d,however, there were others that took place atop Haleakalā. Most of the protesters marching were o f Mauiroots, but there were other protesters that came from different islands to show their support for the natives‟stand against the destruction of our sacred mountain.Following all that I had experienced these days, I left with the understanding that the youth of our generation have a very important role. Our role is to learn from the mistakes of the present and gui de theworld down the right path allowing it to grow and prosper. We, as the seeds of the present, must gr ow toprotect the history of the human race, but at the same time prevent ourselves from repeating the ac tions anddecisions that may have once destroyed us in the past. We, the youth, are the key to the prosperity of thefuture.28. What caused the Haleakalā Movement?A. That the sacred top of the mountain would be leveled out.B. That local Hawaiians stopped the trucks from going uphill.C. That twenty local Hawaiians protesters were arrested by the police.D. That the rainforests on Mt. Haleakalā were seriously destroyed.29. From the passage, the writer learned __________.A. all Hawaiian young people should participate in the movementB. it is important to protect the environment in Hawaii rainforestC. local Hawaiian culture is more important than the advanced technologyD. young people are an important factor for tomorrow‟s prosperity30. The writer is probably __________.A. a teenage studentB. a school teacherC. a government officialD. a policeman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。

2018高考英语模拟卷4第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15题：每小题2分，满分30分)AThe freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you couldsay“sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon)filled the weekend,but the best part―particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables―was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m.to 1p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,thetomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的)promise,I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal―and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where―luckily for me―I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.1.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.2.What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmers’ market.3.What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.4.What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.BWhen we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults，it is still important for us to have friends.True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.5.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Reduce StressB. How to Make New FriendsC. The Importance of FriendsD. The Qualities of Good Friends6.The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. educateB. encourageC. surpriseD. dislike7.We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always________.A. laugh at us when we’re foolishB. tell us other people’s secretsC. share our sadness and interestsD. support us when we need help8.We can learn from the passage that________.A. people should make friends anytimeB. friends are people who allow you to cryC. a friend helps you in many waysD. good friends are always difficult to meetCThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health andwell-being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated（隔绝）and inactive．Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．These include custom-made navigation（导航）tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains："For many older people，particularly those livingalone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．""But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．"Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems．"For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解决方案）to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．"9.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB？______A. To explore newmeans of transport．B. To design new types of cars．C. To find out older driver′s problems．D. To teach people traffic rules．10.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？______A. It keeps them independent．B. It helps them save time．C. It builds up their strength．D. It cures their mental illnesses．11.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？______A. Improve their driving skills．B. Develop driver-assist technologles．C. Provide tips on repairing their cars．D. Organize regular physical checkups．12.What is the best title for the text？______A. A new Model Electric CarB. A Solution to Traffic ProblemC. Driving Service for eldersD. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road．DOctopuses (章鱼）are sea animals famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms. They live in all the worldˈs oceans but there are especially more octopuses in warm, tropical (热带的）waters. Octopuses, like their cousin, the squid (乌贼）,are often considered “monsters of the deep”, though some species, or types, occupy relatively shallow waters.Most octopuses stay along the oceanˈs floor, although some species are pelagic, which means they live near the waterˈs surface. Other octopus species live in deep, dark waters, rising from below at dawn and dusk to search for food. Crabs and shrimps rank among their favorite foods, though some can attack larger prey（猎物）, like sharks. Octopuses typically drop down on their prey from above and, using powerful suctions that line their arms, pull the animals into their mouths. The octopus performs its famous backward swim by blowing up water through a muscular tube on the body called a siphon. Octopuses also crawl (爬）along the ocean’s floor,putting their arms into small openings to search for food. Seals, whales, and large fish prey on octopuses.If threatened, octopuses shoot an inky liquid that darkens the water, confusing the other animals. The octopus can also change to gray, brown, pink, blue, or- green to mix with its surroundings. Octopuses may also change color as a way to communicate with other octopuses. Octopuses are solitary creatures that live alone in dens (巢穴）built from rocks, which the octopus moves into place using its powerful arms. Octopuses sometimes even fashion a rock "door” for their dens that pull closed when the octopus is safely inside.13.In which place can we find more Octopuses?A. The ocean near Hainan.B. The river near Canada.C. The Arctic Ocean.D. The South Pole.14.What is a way for Octopuses to communicate with each other?A. Using special signals.B. Making special sounds.C. Living together in a group.D. Changing their own colors.15.What do we know about Octopuses?A.They just stay in deep ocean.B. They eat food by using their teeth.C. They donˈt like hunting large animals.D. They shoot an inky liquid to avoid dangers.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。

Neill Park VS Robinson and Eastside Central VS Light HillD. St Matins VS Doonsberg and Northerners VS TigersBAt an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach（蟑螂）flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cock-roach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on herblouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: was the cockroachresponsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbancecaused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it‟s not the shouting of my childrenor my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused bytheir shouting.It‟s not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbanc e caused by the traffic jam. More than the problem, it‟s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive（本能的）while responses tend to be well thought out.24. What happened in the outdoor restaurant?A. A cockroach was found in a woman‟s food and then a man found the same problem.B.A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.C. A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.D. A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.25. According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might in your car.A. complain your delayB. feel upset and annoyedC. relax yourself by listening to musicD. expect someone to clear the road26. What‟s the meaning of the underlined word?A. confusion.B. success.C. poverty.D. harmony.27. What does the passage tell us?A. Speak less, do more!B. Actions speak louder than words!C. Mind your manners while in a restaurant!D. Don‟t react just from your feelings; respond positively!C“Where are we going, Dad?”, one of the hottest Chinese reality shows, has become a hit.Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to bea good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this newform of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Dad dy and cute kids raised a lot of people‟semotional common feelings. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are beingdrawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier betweenthe modern parents and children.The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hotmoms” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents‟confusion in children‟s education and the appeal for the balanc e between career and family.In real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy toaccompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue todo so. The data collected by Hunan TV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female,among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a youngmother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work ortrapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of achild without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers.In a modern family, it is often the old who takethe responsibility of rais ing a child. Theparticipation of mother in the children‟s education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education,and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we goin g, Dad?” shows us.If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modem citizen with independentpersonality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve astheir first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. Thetruth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.28. In raising a child in modern society, parents should .A. let their children go without caring anythingB. keep their children at home to avoid socializingC. balance well between family and careerD. break down the barrier between children and teachers29. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?A. Parents shouldn‟t entirely leave the education of children to the old.B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C.The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.30.The passage suggests young parents feel helpless in raising children mainly because_______.A. they have no professional knowledge for this fieldB. the old are free and forced to raise the grandchildren insteadC. their children feel isolated and lonely with themD. they are occupied with working and making a living31. What chief attitude towards modern family education does the author express in thepassage?A. Pessimistic.B. Worried.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.DWith a growing trend for feminists （女权主义者）, common images of veiled（穿婚纱的）brides walking down the aisle on her father‟s arm could become a thing of the past. Doing awaywith the engagement ring, choosing not to be …given away like property‟ and wearing a colourother than white are key themes in the feminist wedding trend.The findings, revealed in a survey of 200 brides-to-be, suggested that almost a quarterofwomen planned on keeping their last name after marriage, while one in 10 were planning to weara colour other than white on their wedding day.Traditions such as the wearing of an engagement ring are also increasingly being rejected bybrides who feel it is anti-feminist--with such an obvious symbol to be worn on the finger markingthe woman …taken‟.However, while there is undoubtedly exciting data among young brides, parents can takecomfort in the fact that while some women are beginning to push back against the patriarchy （家长制）, the majority are still keen to support certain traditions, with 76 per cent of brides saying they really would like their father to walk them down the aisle.Elki Parmar of Wedding Days. , who conducted the survey, said: “Some of the brideswe have spoken to are doing things to make their wedding more …feminist‟. That could be reflectedby deciding not to be given away, which means that the woman is property to be given away.Other brides are choosing not to wear white on their wedding day, since a woman‟s whitewedding dress traditionally carries meanings of virginal innocence. However, what the groomwears on his wedding day is not recognized to be symbolic, creating somewhat of an imbalance in some feminists‟ views”.32. Which of the following is NOT the symbol of traditional wedding?A. The bride wears bridal veil.B. The bride wears a color other than white.C. The bride wears the engagement ring.D. The bride walks down the aisle on her father‟s arm.33. Why do some brides reject to wear an engagement ring according to the passage?A. Because they don‟t ge t rings matched with their bridal veils.B. Because it may cause their parents discomfort and sorrow.C. Because they want to make their wedding more meaningful.D. Because it is anti-feminist and marks themselves to be “taken”.34. What can we learn from the survey in Paragraph 2?A. More than 200 brides-to-be were investigated.B. Half of the brides won‟t change their last name after marriage to their husband.C. 10% of brides prefer to wear a color other than white on their wedding day.D. No one wants to wear an engagement ring.35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The tendency mentioned in the passage is becoming more and more popular.B. Some women are beginning to push back against their parents.C. The majority of brides don‟t like their father to walk them down the aisle.D. Some brides regard wearing white on the wedding as a symbol of unequal betweenmen andwomen.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。

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-timeactivities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches， canals and coasts， which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing.Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots ， especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads， Stradbroke Island， and Burleigh Heads ， with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend ？They might go for a ride on their boat ！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing ， or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close ， the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat， from shrimps （?r） to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland？A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph ？A.

What are most of the four top Australian pastimesrelated to？A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt ’s a rainy， cold winter afternoon. The boys are playingin their rooms ， so it’s the perfect time to do some baking ， just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead（揉） bread dough（生面团） . Suddenly， there is the sound of shouting， tears， a door slam， followed one of them calling ，“ Mom ！ He hurt me！” and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as myelder son comes up too， ready to defend his position. All hopeof some quiet time has disappeared， but I just don ’t feel like playing judge today.“So， who wants to help me bake some bread？” I askbrightly ， ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring ，”Tristan finally admits. “ Okay， what would you like to make ？”I ask.“Chocolate！”Sawyer yells ，breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies ！”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats ， I know there ’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter，flour on the floor ， and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces― covered in chocolate， of course， but， smiling ear to ear---and the mess，and their previous fight ， is forgotten.As we close the curtains ， we sit together on the sofa， anddig into the big plate of cookies ， fresh from the oven ， baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh ？A. Her two sons fought again.B.She couldn ’t do any baking.C.She had to play with naughty sons.D.Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer ’ s two sons look angry ？A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’ t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26.While baking chocolate ， the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27.Which of the following can be the best title for thetext？A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK toask for leave due to illness ？ The answer is not the common cold or flu ， but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults， costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National HealthService（ NHS ） will be offering a new solution ： acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years ， but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.Traditionally ， doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active ， do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However ， there is evidence that acupuncture may be moreeffective than expensive X-rays or injections ， so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture ， patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation（脊柱推拿）， or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK， acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment， which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on theNHS ， some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similaracupuncture using toothpicks（牙签） which do not stick intothe skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced ， back pain sufferers will be hopingthat acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28.According to the passage， which is the best way to treat back pain？A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture？A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C.Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’ t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph？A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often “read” picture books. They ’ re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately ， some children can’t use these resources，even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson， for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments（ ?网膜零落），making her visually impaired.It is because of people like Elodiethat Tom Yeh， head of the Tactile Picture Books Project ， has started printing 3D books ， so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon ， a popular children ’ s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book， children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to ， whether it is a cow jumping over the moon ， a balloon ， or a dollhouse.Generally ， when children grow older ， they read by using Braille ， a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translatethe patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don ’t have to know how to read to understand them. However， without these ， visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’ t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed ， plastic is layered（分层搁置） repeatedly over a single shape： the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired ”in paragraph 2mean？A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5 ？A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D booksare raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project ？A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二 ? （共 5 小题，每题 2 分，满分10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为剩余选项。
