The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for Chinese people all around the world. The celebration usually lasts for 15 days or so. There is a lot to do during this time.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, red couplets (春联) are posted on doors. Family members usually get together and have big meals. Their favorite dish on this day is dumplings.
Days before the Spring Festival, families will clean their homes. People think cleaning sweeps away bad luck. It makes the house ready for good luck.
The color red is everywhere during the Spring Festival. People think red is a happy color and will bring them a bright future. People wear red, too. They decorate their homes with pieces of red paper. Kids get a lot of “hong bao”. It is a red paper bag with money in it. Usually, older people give younger ones “hong bao”. They think it brings good luck. When the children get their lucky money, they always give their best regards with good words.
The Spring Festival is the time to make everybody happy. So don't say any bad
words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people. For instance, you'd better not say any bad words like “death”. Don't break anything. People think that it means your good luck is running out.
Also, don't borrow or lend money on these days. If you have borrowed money, return it before the Spring Festival.

(2)此结构的用法总结如下：
形容词多为表示主语性质、特征的词，如easy, difficult, hard, important等。
不定式和句子主语是动宾关系，但用主动形式表被动含义。 不定式有时会带上自己的逻辑主语(for sb.)。
不定式中的动词若是不及物动词，其后要加相应的介词。 ③This kind of job is very easy for_them_to_do. 这种工作对他们来说是很容易做的。 ④The chair is comfortable to_sit_on. 椅子坐起来很舒服。

(1)as though/if后面的从句可用虚拟语气，表示一种假设或不大可能的事。从句表示与现在事实相反时，谓语动词用一般过去时；表示与过去事实相反时，用had＋过去分词；表示将来的可能性不大的情况时，用would/could/might＋动词原形。
②She loves the boy as if she were his mother. 她爱这男孩，就好像她是他的母亲一样。
③He talks about Rome as if he had_been there before. 他说起罗马来好像他以前去过似的。
④She talks and talks as if she would never stop. 她说了又说好像永远停不下来。(不可能是事实)

⑤It looks as though/if it is going to rain. 天似乎要下雨。
(3)从句的省略：若as though/if引导的从句的主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语为be，则省略“从句主语＋be”，从句就变成了“as though/if＋形容词/副词/名词/介宾短语/分词/不定式”。

In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race, which occurs every year during the last Monday in May.This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it.The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese.
Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces (鬼脸)．It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September.The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win.
The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland.The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbour's wife.According to the rules, any woman above 17 is considered as a wife, so if you are within this age, take care while visiting this country during the month of July.
Many of you have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and have known something about pirates.The 19th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate.Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity (宣传) on the Internet.
First staged in 1998, the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean city.As you all know, the town is said to be rich in minerals, so there is no shortage of mud.Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best.
The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism.It's an annual feast held for about 600 monkeys.The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3,000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves.

Ⅳ.阅读七选五
For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.__1__ Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.__2__ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.__3__ When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric (纤维) to make pants for the miners.These
pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉)．This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.__4__.
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.__5__ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States. B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C．Strauss agreed and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since. D．However, he did not get much business for those products.
E．Besides, he also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry. F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it. 答案：1～5 FADCE Ⅴ.短文改错 Dear Sir，
How are you？As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in the next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others.My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise.Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot.So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building but as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully if you could do me favor.
Best wishes! Yours sincerely， Li Ming
答案：第二句：第一个a→an; 去掉in 第三句：held→holds; made→making 第四句：that→which
第五句：attentions→attention 第六句：he→you; get前加to
第七句：gratefully→grateful; favor前加the

情态动词(Ⅰ)
1．can与could的用法 (1)表示能力(could是过去式)。
I can speak English fluently while he can't. 我会说流利的英语而他不会。
(2)表示猜测“可能”，一般用于疑问句和否定句(could是过去式)。 —Look! Someone is coming! Who can it be? 看，有人来了。会是谁呢？
—It can't be Jim. He has gone to Paris. 不可能是吉姆，他去了巴黎。
(3)表示请求和许可(could表更委婉的语气，回答时只能用can)。 You can use my dictionary. 你可以用我的词典。 —Could I use your computer? 我能用一下你的电脑吗？ —Yes, you can. 是的，你可以。
(4)用于肯定的陈述句中，表示理论上或习惯上的可能性。 It can be quite cold here in winter. 这里的冬天有时还真够冷的。
Even an experienced doctor can make a mistake. 即使经验丰富的医生也会犯错误。 [点津]
can与be able to
(1)can只有现在时和过去时could，而be able to则有更多的时态变化，在将来时、完
成时和非谓语动词中只能用be able to。
(2)can一般指自身具有的能力，而be able to则表示经过一段时间的努力后所具有的能力，相当于manage to do或succeed in doing。
(3)在否定结构中
was?were?
?able to与could没有区别。

—Yes, you may./No, you mustn't. 是的，可以。/不，不可以。
(2)表示把握不大的推测，意为“可能”，用于肯定句。might语气更加不肯定，指现在或将来，只有在宾语从句中might do (be)才表示过去的可能性。
I think he may come tomorrow. 我认为明天他可能会来。
I thought you might like something to read, so I bought some books for you. 我想你可能喜欢读点东西，因此我给你买了些书。 (3)may用于祈使句表示祝愿。 May you have a good journey! 祝你旅行愉快！ May you succeed! 祝你成功！ [考题印证]2
①(江西高考改编)Life is unpredictable; even the poorest might/may become the richest. ②(四川高考改编)—May/Can/Could I take the book out?
—I'm afraid not. 3．will与would的用法
(1)表示意志、意愿和决心。用于各种人称，will指现在，would指过去。 John promised his doctor he would not smoke, and he has never smoked ever since. 约翰向医生许诺他不再吸烟，自从那时他从没吸过烟。 Please give me another chance, and I will never do that again. 请再给我一次机会，我再也不会做那事了。
(2)表示请求、建议。用于第二人称的疑问句，would表示更委婉的语气。 Would you mind opening the window for me? 请你为我打开窗户好吗？ Will you call back later, please? 请过一会儿再打过来好吗？
(3)表示习惯性的动作，意思是“总是；习惯于”。will指现在，would指过去。 Fish will die without water. 鱼离开水总是要死的。
She would sit there for hours, reading a book. 她过去总是会坐在那里读几个小时的书。 [点津]
would与used to
两者均表示“过去常常”，但would仅表示过去的习惯性动作(不表状态)，现在有可能还如此，也可能不再那样；used to既表示过去的动作也表示过去的状态，不过现在不再做或不再有那种状态了。
He would take a walk near the forest in the evening. 以前，他晚间常在森林附近散步。
He used to take a walk near the forest in the evening.
他过去常在晚间到森林附近散步。(而现在已不在那里散步了) (4)用于否定句，表示“不肯；不乐意”。 No matter what I said, he wouldn't listen to me. 无论我说什么，他就是不肯听我的。 [考题印证]3
(四川高考改编)I still remember my happy childhood when my mother would take me to Disneyland at weekends.
4．shall与should的用法
(1)shall用于第一、第三人称的疑问句中，表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。 What shall we do this evening?
我们今晚干什么呢？
When shall he be able to leave the hospital? 他什么时间能离开医院？
(2)shall用于第二、第三人称，表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。 You shall fail if you don't work hard. 如果你不努力学习你会考试不及格。(警告) You shall not leave your post. 你不得离开岗位。(命令)
He shall have the book when I finish reading it. 当我读完这本书时他可以拿走。(允诺)
(3)should表示劝告或建议，意思是“应该”；还可表示可能性或表示惊讶。 You should go to class right away. 你应该立刻去教室。
She promised to come by 10：00. She should be here at any moment. 她答应10点前来的，她随时都可能到。 It's strange that he should have done such a thing. 他做这样的事真是太奇怪了。 [考题印证]4
①(江苏高考改编)It was sad to me that they, so poor themselves, should bring me food. ②(辽宁高考改编)One of our rules is that every student shall wear school uniform while at school.
5．must的用法
(1)表示“必须”，语气比should, ought to强烈。其否定形式为mustn't (不准；禁止)。 You must practise your spoken English if you want to improve. 如果你想提高，你就必须练习英语口语。
[点津] 以must开头的一般疑问句的肯定回答中要用must, 否定回答中要用needn't/ don't have to。
—Must I finish the paper today? 今天我必须完成论文吗？ —Yes, you must./No, you needn't. 是的，你必须。/不，你不必。
(2)表示有把握的肯定推测，只能用在肯定句中，意思是“一定；准是”，在否定句、疑问句中要用can't代替。
You have worked hard all day.You must be tired. 你辛苦干了一整天，一定累了。(对现在情况的推测判断)
He must be working in his office. 他一定在办公室工作呢。
It can't be her.I'm sure she doesn't wear glasses. 那不可能是她。我确定她不戴眼镜的。

假设你是红星中学高一(2)班的学生李华。下面四幅图表述了上周一发生在你们班的一个真实故事。请根据图片的先后顺序，为校刊《英语园地》写一篇短文。
注意：词数100左右。
参考词汇：腿缠着绷带with one's leg wrapped in bandages 轮椅wheelchair ①Last Monday, we were having our Chinese class when the teacher suddenly slipped and fell.②We were all worried about her.③A boy carried her on the back, with the help of some others, to the clinic immediately.④The doctor said her right leg was broken and that she had to stay in hospital.⑤The following day, we went to visit her with flowers and fruit.⑥When we saw her lying in bed with her leg wrapped in bandages, we felt sorry for her and hoped that she would recover soon.⑦This Thursday she returned to class on a wheelchair to give us lessons.⑧We were all deeply moved and proud of having such a good teacher.
本文可分为三个层次：
第一层：叙述事情的起因(第一幅图)。
第二层：叙述事情的具体发展过程(第二、三幅图)。 第三层：叙述事情的结局(第四幅图)。
亮点一：本文按照事情的发生过程展开叙述，语言生动形象，行文连贯流畅，可读性强。 亮点二：文章①句使用的“sb. be doing sth. when ...”这一经典句型，④句中said后面跟的两个that引导的宾语从句(第一个宾语从句的引导词that省略)，⑥句中动词的复合宾语结构(see sb. doing sth.)，⑦句中不定式作目的状语等均显示出作者较高的写作水平。
亮点三：②句的be worried about sb.，⑥句的feel sorry for sb.和⑧句的 be proud of ...等常用短语的熟练使用也显示出作者对词汇的很好掌握。
如何写好叙事性记叙文
写叙事性记叙文时，要注意以下几点：
1．结构：常见的叙事性记叙文的结构常分为三段： 第一段：交代事情发生的时间、地点、人物等要素。
第二段：进一步叙述事情的发生、发展过程，在必要时可加入冲突，以达到故事的高潮。
第三段：结尾要尽量自然，做到水到渠成，可适当谈一下自己的感想，发表自己的看法，以达到升华文章主题的目的，但不宜过多。
2．人称：通常用第一人称和第三人称。
3．时态：在叙事过程中，一般用过去时态。在描写背景或某景象时，常用过去进行时，这样显得更加生动形象。
[黄金表达] 1．开头常用句式：
That's really an unforgettable experience. One day, on the way to ...
Last Sunday, my mother and I were doing ...when we saw/heard ... Long long ago/Once upon a time, there was/were ... 2．中间常用句式：

The students in our class organized an activity of “Experience a Low-carbon Day” during the summer vacation.
In the morning, we went to parks by bus instead of going by car. At noon, when we dined out in a restaurant, we refused to use the disposable chopsticks served there.Instead, we each took with us a lunch box in which there was a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. In the afternoon, we went shopping at a supermarket. To avoid the damage to the environment caused by the plastic bags, we put what we had bought into cloth bags. It was hot at night. We didn't turn on the air conditioners. We used electric fans to cool ourselves down.
Although the activity lasted only one day, we have learned a lot from it. We realize that we should take action to protect our earth and start from small things around us.In this way, we are sure to live in a better world.

The fire had trapped 8-year-old Dalton Newlan inside his bedroom. His 76-year-old grandfather, Ed Bellville, was also trapped in the house.

The house was filled with smoke. It was difficult to see things. Frank walked by Bellville at least once without seeing him. The smoke was choking both of them. Bellville's health was already poor and the smoke only made it worse. He's now at a Wichita hospital listed in dangerous condition.

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.Take some time to find out about how one man, who was determined to change the way we treated our planet, didn't stop until he had made a difference.
In 1963, Senator Gaylord Nelson wasn't happy with the earth's condition.He wanted to clean up the planet, solve pollution and environmental problems.A senator (参议员) is someone US citizens choose to help make laws, so Gaylord had a lot of power.He went to John F．Kennedy, the President at the time, with his ideas.The President agreed that the planet's environment was a serious issue, so President Kennedy went around the country on a five-day tour to promote the idea of cleaning up the planet.People began making small changes but it wasn't enough.
A few years later, Senator Nelson decided to put one day aside every year for the cause of saving the planet.On April 22,1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated.More than 20 million people took part in Earth Day activities in 1970.Since then, Earth Day has become an international holiday.People all over the world are doing something to make the Earth a cleaner, better place.
A rock band named Dramarama wrote a song about Earth Day in 1993 called What
Are We Gonna Do.Encouraging your family to recycle on a regular basis is a good
way to help the Earth.

Full of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian (保加利亚人的) festivals and customs date back to old time when man tried to live in peace with nature.The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Year, when the so-called “sourvakari” makes the round of house with wishes for health and wealth.Other main festivals include “ladouvane” — a holiday for young girls on New Year's Day or Midsummer Day (24th June), Shrovetide and Mummers' Games which mark the start of spring, and “lazrouvane” — a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness.And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are “martenitsas” and rose-picking.
Every year on March 1st, the Bulgarians give each other “martenitsas” — a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness.
In late May and early June every year, the rose-picking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountains.Rose-picking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared.The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the world's rose oil which is used by the very well-known perfume (香水) company as a basic element of its products.This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanluk on the
first Sunday in June.

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency.You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely.We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印象深刻的)．We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging (安排) the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an invitation.In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official papers proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa.Then we had to solve the ticket problem.Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance.The next step was to book a hotel.We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome.Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end.Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a Russian.She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use.She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.It's not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times.So, if you're also planning a “single” trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和他的朋友策划的意大利之行。文章介绍了旅游前的准备工作，如自己如何取得签证，还有在意大利旅游时当地的住宿条件，以及自己策划意大利之旅的优点以及感受。
29．Why does the author want to go to Italy again? A．Because he had a great time there. B．Because Italy has a lot of attractions. C．Because his friend invited him there. D．Because he didn't stay in Italy long enough.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印象深刻的). We look forward to going there again！”结合第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“The only thing I'll say right now is that we
really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.”可知， 意大利之行他们玩得很尽兴，给他们留下了深刻的印象，所以想再去意大利，因此选A。
30．What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?
A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling. B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate. C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome. D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an invitation.”可知，最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证，因此选择B。A、C、D虽然文中都涉及了，但是都不符合题干要求。
31．In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains________. A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及该旅馆的好处的介绍可知，作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。
32．From the text we can know the author________. A．enjoys traveling everywhere in the world B．likes being accompanied by tour guides C．advises us to arrange trips by ourselves D．met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段说不想在旅游团的拥挤的人群中，也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会，以及最后一段的“Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.”可以推断出应该选择C。其余选项没有依据。
D
Next Thursday, November 27th (the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving.They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.
Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people.From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings.
But he says it was different when he was a child.Mr Rosa was just three when
his family came to America.“When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn't pay too much attention to it.” But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty.“They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”
And the family had little money.There were six Rosa children.Mr Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania.The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's.But Mr Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.
This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren.
On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California.We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year, her first answer is “The election”. She said she also is deeply grateful for her very large family.Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter.She has five younger brothers and sisters.She also has eight stepbrothers and sisters.Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.
语篇解读：本文通过对两个家庭的叙述得知：感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游冒险，也不是不同代之间的相会。

参考范文：
Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine's
Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas Day? Some people say yes. They think that celebrating foreign festivals is a fashionable activity because it helps not only to make friends but also to gain more knowledge about foreign culture.
Others, however, don't think so. They believe that it is foolish for the Chinese to celebrate foreign festivals, which will greatly affect people's feelings on our own traditional festivals. Some people even consider it as a culture invasion.
As for me, I don't think foreign festivals are very bad things. In fact, the world is becoming “smaller” — people all over the world are becoming a big family. On the other hand, I think we should pay more attention to our own traditional festivals, because they are part of the root of our Chinese culture.

This went on until the year 1996, when the Bloomsbury publishing house agreed to help me. In 1997, Harry Potter was published, and the character soon became one of children's most favorite characters. We had to print more copies several times. In 1998, in the month of February, my very first novel was awarded the British Book Award for “Children's Book of the Year”．

C．To make her daughter happy.

You can deal with winter in two ways: Escape it or embrace it. Watching people dive into snow — in nothing but bathing suits and boots — I'm guessing these people choose to do the latter.
The seasonal madness is part of the Quebec Winter Carnival, now in its 62nd year, said to be the world's largest winter festival. About a half-million people each year come to Quebec City to delight in frigid (寒冷的) fashion.
“We embrace winter，” said Paule Bergeron of Quebec City Tourism.“It's time to play.” The carnival runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 14, with dozens of events. I went last year for a few frigid days, staying at the Hilton Quebec, in the thick of the downtown action. Families are a big part of the carnival. What attract kids are things like ice-fishing at a man-made pond stocked with fish, where if you catch something, you can pay to have it smoked and eat it, or donate it to a food bank.
It's a good chance to experience the culture of this European-feeling city, and nowhere is more evident than in Bonhomme, the carnival's goodwill ambassador, a living avatar (化身) in the form of a giant snowman with a human inside gliding (滑行) around the festivities.
There are two night parades at the carnival. I attended the second one last year, the night before the carnival's close. The streets were lined with thousands of people in a gentle snow and bitter cold, watching local dancers and school groups glide by. In the end, Bonhomme's float came into view, and kids in the crowd went crazy. As the parade ended, thousands followed behind it, becoming part of the Quebec Winter Carnival's magic and madness. And with a cup of milk in my hand, I realized that for once, not only did I not
mind winter, I embraced it.
语篇解读： 本文为说明文。作者亲历了魁北克冬季狂欢节的盛况，感受了人们冬天的激情和活力。
21．Which of the following is TRUE about the Quebec Winter Carnival? A．It is held to attract visitors.
B．It has a history of less than 60 years. C．It is mainly intended to entertain kids. D．It is the largest winter festival in the world.

22．Who is Bonhomme? A．It is a giant snowman. B．It is a famous star in Quebec.
C．It is the goodwill ambassador of the carnival. D．It is the organizer of the Quebec Winter Carnival.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“the carnival's goodwill ambassador”以及“in the form of a giant snowman with a human inside”可知， Bonhomme 是狂欢节的形象大使，是由人装扮的雪人。
23．We can infer from the last paragraph that ______. A．kids love to see Bonhomme B．the carnival ends with two parades
C．the parades are the maddest part of the carnival D．people attend the parades mainly to see Bonhomme
解析：选A 推理判断题。由最后一段“In the end, Bonhomme's float came into view, and kids in the crowd went crazy.”可知，孩子们看到Bonhomme 都激动不已，由此可知，孩子们喜欢看Bonhomme。
24．The author attended the carnival probably as ________. A．a visitor to Quebec B．a festival performer C．an official in Quebec D．a local newspaper reporter

Visitors to this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival can explore the music, history, art and food of Wales. This small country in the United Kingdom is known for its music, sports, beautiful natural areas and ancient history. Visitors to the festival can also learn about the country's language and industry.
Visitors to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival can start their exploration of Wales by learning about its native language, Welsh. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in the world.The first lesson to learn is the Welsh word for Wales: Cymru.
Festival visitors can learn more from Iona Hughes, a Welsh teacher in the country's capital, Cardiff. Welsh and English are now the official languages of Wales. But people there did not always support the use of Welsh. Today, about twenty percent of the population of Wales speaks the language fluently. Iona Hughes said, “It's quite wonderful to see how the language has developed and how the language has grown especially in the last thirty years. I remember as a child actually saying that Welsh was a dying language, and now I'm proud to say that actually it isn't — it's a thriving (欣欣向荣的) language.”
The Welsh people are serious about language and the spoken word. They hold competitions to celebrate their language in literature and music.
Wales is also known for its natural beauty. It has hundreds of lakes and over one thousand kilometres of coastline.
The festival events also tell about Welsh industries. You can see an expert make thread out of wool from a sheep. Or you might learn about traditional Welsh building materials like slate (板岩)．
And, no visit to Wales would be complete without a pub (酒吧) where people can sit down and drink a beer.
语篇解读：本文是说明文，介绍了威尔士的一些情况。 25．From Paragraph 1 we can learn that Wales ________. A．is very big in size B．has many new industries C．is poor in natural scenery D．is famous for many aspects
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，威尔士在很多方面都很出名。 26．Which of the following is TRUE about the Welsh language? A．Most Welsh people speak it well in daily life. B．Some Welsh people show no interest in it. C．It is the only official language of Wales. D．It is the oldest language in the world.
解析：选B 正误判断题。根据第三段第三句可知，并不是所有的英国人都喜欢威尔
士语，故B项正确。根据第三段第四句可知，现在的威尔士人会说威尔士语的很少了，故A项错误；根据第三段第二句可知，威尔士语和英语都是威尔士的官方语言，因此C项错误；根据第二段第二句可知，威尔士语不是最古老的，而是其中之一，故D项错误。
27．What Iona Hughes said shows that ________. A．she is an expert in Welsh B．she has studied Welsh for 30 years
C．she has done a lot for the development of Welsh D．she has a different opinion on Welsh than before
解析：选D 推理判断题。Iona Hughes说到她小时候认为威尔士语是一种即将灭亡的语言，现在认为它是欣欣向荣的语言，由此可推知，她对威尔士语有了不同的认识。
28．The passage is mainly written to ________. A．explain why Wales is famous B．persuade readers to visit Wales C．introduce something about Wales D．introduce Smithsonian Folklife Festival
解析：选C 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了威尔士的一些情况，因此C项是最佳选项。
C
People are always excited whenever they hear the word “free”．The reason behind this is that the prices of all items (物品) in the market are rising and it is already lucky if the prices went down. One item that is included in the list of items that are being given away for free is free baby magazines.
There is no magazine stall that doesn't sell it. In a typical setting, baby magazines are never sold at a lower price unlike fashion magazines because of its content. The content of free baby magazines is not just taken anywhere; they are fruit of personal experience of parents.
Free baby magazines are popular especially in Western countries mainly because of promotional (促销的) reasons. The result is either they are promoting the magazine itself or companies of baby items are promoting their products inside that magazine. So they are still making money out of it even though they say that it is for free. Producers of baby items look at magazines as a positive way to encourage the readers to buy their products. It has a hidden tag (标签) that says，“Buy me; I'm perfect for your baby.”
Parents are always looking for reference when it comes to giving the best for their babies. They sometimes look up the Internet or ask friends. However, a lot of people say that the best way to know the most believable information is by reading baby magazines because they are selected from and based on real information. This is actually the reason why baby magazines are such a hit among mothers of any age.
Another thing about free baby magazines is that they give less information for free. By the time they give out their free magazines, satisfied parents might buy more or introduce it to other parents. Magazine publishers will be able to get more advertisers and writers that would make their magazines more interesting.

Until New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine, on an avenue named after its designer, this 985-foot (300-meter) tower is the most famous edifice (宏伟建筑) in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffel's idea was certainly chosen from
among 700 proposals (提议) to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated (纪念) the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
In 1887, three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000-ton tower.Yet, it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily, its antenna (天线), used for telegraphy at the time, saved it.Last July, it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all, as ominous (不吉利的) black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower：the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.
To date, more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However, it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first, Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing.Today, the Eiffel Tower is adorned (装饰) with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour, from sunset until one am.If you happen to be passing by, look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower, composed of iron and steel, is greater than the sum of its parts.
语篇解读：本文主要是对埃菲尔铁塔的简介。文章叙述了铁塔的由来、基本结构以及对世界游人的吸引状况。
33．If you want to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle, when might you stop by? A．1：15 am B．3：30 pm C．9：10 am
D．0：00 am
解析：选D 细节理解题。文章第三段说埃菲尔铁塔上的灯从日落到次日凌晨一点整每一小时闪耀十分钟，因此选D。
34．When was the Eiffel Tower almost torn down? A．1907. C．1889.
B.1909. D．2003.
解析：选B 细节理解题。文章第二段第二句话说埃菲尔铁塔建成20年后差一点被拆掉，而它建成于1889年，因此选B。
35．At first, what did Parisians think about the tower? A．The steel and iron parts were unimpressive. B．The awe-inspiring design was attracting. C．Both A and B are correct. D．Neither A nor B is correct.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句话可知当时巴黎人不怎么喜欢埃菲尔铁塔，特别是它的建筑风格和金属构架。

One afternoon, my son Adam asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color？”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I'll explain, __41__ you can just wait until we make a quick __42__ at the grocery store. I have something __43__ to show you.”
At the grocery store, we __44__ some apples — red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It's time to __45__ your question.” I put one apple of each __46__ on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a __47__ look on his face. “People are like apples. They come in all __48__ colors, shapes and sizes. On the __49__， some of the apples may not __50__ look as delicious as the others.” As I was talking, Adam was __51__ each one carefully. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, __52__ them back on the table, but __53__ a different place. “Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”
He said, “I __54__ tell. They all look the same now.” “Take a bite of __55__. See if that helps you __56__ which one is which.”
He took __57__， and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are __58__ like apples! They are all different, but once you __59__ the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside.”
He totally __60__ it. I didn't need to say or do anything else. 41．A.although C．because
B．so D．if
解析：选D 儿子有问题要问，“我”要回答，这里给出的是回答的前提条件，所以用if，表示“如果”之意。
42．A.stop C．turn
B．start D．stay
解析：选A 这里说的是很快地去一趟杂货店，所以用stop。 43．A.expressive C．informative
B．encouraging D．interesting
解析：选D 为了吸引孩子的兴趣，给孩子留点悬念，所以需要用interesting。expressive“富有表现力的”；encouraging“令人鼓舞的”；informative“资料丰富的”。
44．A.bought C．saw
B．counted D．collected
解析：选A 在商店得到苹果的途径只有“买”。
45．A.check C．answer
B．mention D．improve
解析：选C 上文孩子提出了问题，此时是要“回答”这个问题。 46．A.size C．shape
B．type D．class
解析：选B 上文提到的红苹果、青苹果和黄苹果是不同“种类”的苹果，所以此处用type。
47．A.worried C．proud
B．satisfied D．curious
解析：选D “我”刚才说要回答孩子的问题，但又摆弄起苹果，这看来是不相关的，所以他会觉得“好奇”。
48．A.ordinary C．different
B．normal D．regular
解析：选C 将人与苹果作比较，显然人跟苹果一样，在颜色、形状和大小方面都是“不同的”。选different符合语境。
49．A.outside C．part
B．whole D．inside
解析：选A 下文的“look as delicious as the others”中的look一词告诉我们，这是从“外观上”看到的，所以是outside。
50．A.still C．only
B．even D．ever
解析：选B not even“连??也不，甚至不”。这些苹果“甚至”看起来也不如别的苹果好吃。
51．A.examining C．drawing
B．measuring D．packing
解析：选A “我”在解释，孩子在那里听着，同时也在仔细“检查”着苹果，所以用A项，体现出小孩的认真、好奇。
52．A.keeping C．pulling
B．placing D．giving
解析：选B 结合上下文可知，“我”削完苹果后，又把它们“放”回到桌子上了。 53．A.on C．for
B．toward D．in
解析：选D 但是放在不同的地方，所以用介词in。 54．A.mustn't
B．can't
C．shouldn't D．needn't
解析：选B 苹果被削了皮，里面的果肉都一样，所以孩子“不能够”辨认出哪个是哪个。
55．A.each one C．the other
B．each other D．one another
解析：选A 有三个苹果，“每一个”都尝尝，所以用each one。each other“彼此，互相”；the other“另一个”；one another“彼此，互相”，不符合语境。
56．A.admit C．decide
B．consider D．believe
解析：选C 看是否能帮你“判断”出哪一个是哪一个。decide在此相当于figure out，有“辨别”之意。
57．A.big bites C．a firm hold
B．deep breath D．a close look
解析：选A 依据上文的“Take a bit of ...”可知，这里是“咬”苹果，所以用big bites。 58．A.just C．merely
B．always D．seldom
解析：选A 由上下文内容可知，这里是说人和苹果是一样的，所以用just。merely“仅仅，只不过”；seldom“很少，罕见”。
59．A.put away C．hand out
B．get down D．take off
解析：选D 人只是外在不同，“脱下”外在的东西，本质都是一样的。这跟苹果一样，削完皮后都一样。put away“放好”；get down“下来”；hand out“分发”。
60．A.made C．got
B．took D．did
解析：选C get it是固定短语，意思是“懂得了，知道了”。

It's the ocean and me
We're the ones to be I always fall asleep Beside the sea
And we've got a certain way How it wakes me every day I never know though With what kind of wave
And you know about oceans How brutally it can rush
Drown you，or calmly caress you With a gentle touch
Sometimes I bring my boat And I believe it will let me float It's just that I'm so often Returning soaked
The ocean has you Has the waves of you
And I have never felt a sea So blue
我们注定要合而为一 我总是在海洋之旁 坠入梦乡
而我们有着某种默契 它每天如何将我唤醒 尽管我从不知道 那是怎样的波浪
而你知道海洋 它在澎湃时多么汹涌 淹没你，或静静地拥抱你 温柔地抚摸
有时我带上我的小舟 相信它会任我漂流 只是我通常 湿漉漉地回来
海洋拥有你 拥有你的一举一动 而我从未感受过哪片海洋 如此蔚蓝
你可曾聆听过海洋的声音？潮起，潮落，如同一呼一吸，缓慢、悠长而深沉。只要轻轻地跟随它的节奏，无论多么烦闷的心都能够渐渐舒缓，变得宁静而松弛。和海浪声一般美如天籁的，还有Sophie Zelmani的歌声。很难想象，这个声线如海妖塞壬般清亮绝美，如北欧天空般干净清澈的瑞典女子已经年过40，而且从未受过任何音乐方面的专业训练。14岁时父亲送给她一把吉他，她便从此走上了音乐之路，并在23岁时发行了第一张唱片。这个甜美淡雅的女子一直在写歌、唱歌，唱的是她的人生感悟和心路历程，简单不做作却感人至深。她的编曲从不花哨复杂，却恰到好处地衬托出她的声音和情感，让每一个有经历的人一听倾心。

1．Everybody has to eat, but do you eat a healthy diet in your daily life? 2．What should we eat according to the following passage?
Sometimes people are curious to know what type of food is healthy and what kind of food may hurt our health.The United States' Department of Agriculture has prepared a small book to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat. The book describes six basic food groups: meat, dairy (things made from milk), grains, fruits, and vegetables. The last group is fat, oil, and sweets.
As a result of years of research, we know that too much fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Because of this, they often get cancer and heart disease. In Japan, on the other hand, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. They also have a very low rate (比率) of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than people in any other country. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rate of heart disease and cancer increases as their diet changes. What's more, as hamburgers and other high-fat foods become common in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is increasing there as well. People
are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba and Hungary. It's no surprise that the disease rate in these countries is increasing along with the change in diet. Therefore, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables, and eat less meat and dairy products.

At my heaviest, my weight rose to 160 pounds.My mother criticized (批评) me when she noticed my weight reaching 110 pounds.I thought she was unhappy when considering I was thin while she was beyond fat, but her words made me fear getting fat.I started freaking when my weight passed 130 pounds.Last fall, my doctor suggested that I walk my dogs more.
My weight at that time was 141 pounds.He told me that I could lose weight by walking my dogs.Over the winter months, despite my careful eating, my weight increased to 160 pounds and I noticed my jeans were then a Size 12.I also noticed that my mastiff (大型驯犬) was out of control.She was a big dog and required a great deal of exercise.My young Lhasa Apso was getting as lazy as I was, so I made a decision to walk both of them every day.
Every morning, after most people in the neighbourhood go to work and after I finish my first few articles, I walk both of my dogs.They both love walk time and I love to walk them.The neighbours have got used to seeing us take our morning walk.They wave, walk out, and pet the dogs and then we move on.
I started out at 160 pounds and I'm getting closer to 130 pounds.I am proud
of the fact that I have lost so much weight.My husband is proud, too.I am looking forward to comfortably fitting myself into a Size 8 and maybe even finally dropping to a Size 6.
错误!
1．The writer wrote this passage to ________. A．explain why she became fat B．share how she lost weight C．advise us to raise a dog D．tell us to enjoy our life
解析：选B 作者意图题。通读全文，可知作者主要是讲她利用遛狗的方法成功地减了肥，即她是如何成功减肥的，故选B。
2．The underlined word “freaking” in Paragraph 1 shows the writer was getting ________.
A．excited C．angry
B．interested D．frightened
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“but her words made me fear getting fat”可知，作者体重达110磅时她已经开始担心会变胖了，而体重达130磅时，她终于开始“害怕”了。
3．What size of jeans is the writer probably taking now? A．A Size 6. C．A Size 10.
B．A Size 8. D．A Size 12.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“my weight increased to 160 pounds and I noticed my jeans were then a Size 12”可知，作者160磅时穿的是12号的牛仔裤，根据末段的“looking forward to comfortably fitting myself into a Size 8”可知作者想穿8号的，又根据末段的“I'm getting closer to 130 pounds”可知，她现在是130磅，由此可推断她现在所穿的可能是10号的牛仔裤。
4．After reading the passage, we know the writer lost weight mainly through ________.
A．eating healthily B．training her dogs C．walking her dogs D．working out in the gym
解析：选C 细节理解题。通读全文可知，作者主要是通过遛狗的方法来达到减肥的目的的。
B
Organic food is very safe and healthy not just for our body but also the environment.It is free from harmful chemicals that may affect us.It also strengthens our immune system (免疫系统)．There are a lot of reasons why organic food is much more expensive than conventional food.Growing organic
food takes a lot of effort and money and shops selling organic food are using the popularity of organic food to sell it at a much higher price.
The number of organic crops is smaller than that of conventional crops.The production costs are very high in organic farming.Many farmers don't use herbicides or pesticides so they have to get rid of the weeds and pests in the fields all by hand, which adds to the cost of organic food.
Also, conventional agriculture is heavily supported by the government in terms of taxes, while organic farming gets no help from the government at all.What's more, the farmers can't use sewage sludge (下水道污泥) and chemical fertilizers, which are cheap to buy.
Another reason is that the demand is much higher than the supply.While there are many people who are trying organic food, there are only a limited number of farmers who produce it.The output of organic food is low while the transport and packaging costs are the same, which lead to its higher price.
Organic farming requires a lot of things that are not needed in conventional farming.But if the demand becomes high enough, the government might one day help organic farming to lessen the costs.
语篇解读：有机食品?organic food?也叫生态或生物食品，是国际上对无污染天然食品比较统一的提法。吃有机食品对人们有很多好处，而有机食品也变得越来越流行。 5．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 1?
A．Simple. C．Usual.
B．Real. D．Similar.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第一段“There are a lot of reasons why organic food is much more expensive than conventional food.” 可知，organic food和conventional food是两种不同的食物，有机食物organic food相对于传统食物conventional food比较
新，故conventional的意思是usual的意思。
6．All the following are the reasons why organic food is more expensive EXCEPT that________.
A．its production is limited
B．its transport and packaging costs are higher C．growing it takes more time and effort
D．there is no financial help from the government
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段“The output of organic food is low while the transport and packaging costs are the same ...”，第一段“Growing organic food takes a lot of effort and money ...” 及第三段 “... while organic farming gets no help from the government at all.” 可知，A、C、D均是有机食物贵的原因。
7．What is mainly discussed in this text? A．How to grow organic food. B．The benefits of organic food. C．Why organic food costs more. D．Organic food and the environment.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了有机食品流行的原因，故C项符合题意。 8．What is the attitude of the author towards organic farming? A．Negative. C．Positive.
B．Doubtful. D．Not mentioned.
解析：选C 观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句话可知，作者对有机作物种植的前景是积极乐观的，故C项正确。
