题目内容

【题目】 It was Mother’s Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today?”

At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, “Miss Stephanie I’ve been thinking of you!” It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God’s great love for me.

There have been many Mother’s Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.

In the United States and elsewhere, Mother’s Day has become synonymous(与同义)with lots of human expectations. If we’re not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a false standard for feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother’s Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice(庆幸)in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!

1How did the writer feel after comforting others on Mother’s Day?

A.Comfortable.B.Disappointed.

C.Anxious.D.Energetic.

2What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

A.Mother’s Day has become not so important in the United States.

B.The fulfillment of human expectations will never be a heavy burden.

C.The writer was always moved to tears on every Mother’s Day.

D.That Mother’s Day long ago had a positive influence on the writer’s life.

3What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.A Call from a Little Girl.

B.A Memorable Mother’s Day.

C.God’s Great Love for Everyone.

D.A Mother’s Day Long Time Ago.

1推理判断题。根据第一段的taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted…. I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? (…已经接了几个海军妻子和其他需要安慰的人打来的电话。……我靠在椅背上说:“亲爱的上帝,我一直在努力成为别人的福音,但我自己呢?……)可知,从作者靠在椅背上说的那些话显得很无助很失望,故判断出作者在母亲节安慰了别人以后感觉很失望。故选B

2推理判断题。根据最后一段的I rejoice(庆幸)in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day.(我为我所感受到的深沉的爱和关怀而高兴,这种感觉一直持续到今天。)可知,我们能从最后一段得出的结论是很久以前的母亲节对这位作家的生活产生了积极的影响。故选D

3主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段的It was Mother’s Day开篇提到“这是一个母亲节”,作者在母亲节当天接到了几个海军妻子和其他需要安慰的人打来的电话,就在她失望之时,她接到了一个认识的女孩的电话,女孩的话让作者很受感动,让作者觉得这个母亲节非常令人难忘,由此可知,“一个难忘的母亲节”可以做为本篇文章的标题。故选B

【题目】72 Hours in Beijing

Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing!

Mutianyu Great Wall

Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.

798 Art Zone

This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s. The art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.

Summer Palace

Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.

Sichuan Provincial Restaurant

While in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of the places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.

【题目】 A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 1 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.

2 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.

3 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 4

Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 5 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.

A.This isn’t usual though.

B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.

C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.

D.If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.

E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.

F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.

G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

【题目】阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

I peered over my grandma’s shoulder as she sewed pieces of cloth together. The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree.

“Grandma that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.”

“Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.”

Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light.

Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.”

The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled.

“Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness.

Paragraph 1:

“I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma.

Paragraph 2:

Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard.
