Text 10
In the 17th century,when a British businessman heard that there were 100 million people in China,he was determined to go there and sell spoons.He thought that even if a spoon would only sell for one penny,he would still make 100 million pennies,but he failed.The Chinese people used chopsticks,not spoons.
Some people did some research on the origin of China’s chopsticks compared to the knife and fork in the West.One theory is that China was an agricultural society and relied on vegetables for food.Chopsticks were very convenient tools for eating.Westerners,on the other hand,mainly lived on meat.The knife and fork was more practical.Others believe that China did not have much industry,and therefore people used chopsticks.The West was an industrial society,so their eating tools were made of metal.
In addition,table manners are very strict during a Chinese meal.Respect must be given to the elderly.Each time a dish is served,every one has to wait until the oldest person starts.Westerners simply say,“Help yourself,”to start.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art. Among them, calligraphy, poetry and painting are the most famous. Often they would be put together in art.These became important starting with the Song Dynasty.
Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old times the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practice for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of the over 40,000 characters needed to be written correctly. And each stroke (筆畫) in a character had to be written in a certain order.
Poetry is also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, and all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang Dynasty poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (文官) and work for the government.
Chinese painting is often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as “national painting” or “native painting” which is quite different from Western painting. People can draw mountains, buildings, birds, trees and water.

Grandma stopped her truck at a crossroads and had the window down to enjoy the light wind.Suddenly, a man rushed up to the driver’s side window,trying to rob (搶劫) her truck.
However, the man didn’t know that this woman simply wasn’t your normal kind of grandma.This was Nancy Johnson—who owned a big farm in Texas, drove her own truck and had even shot (射殺) a snake recently.
With one hand in his pocket, the man said, “Get out of the truck.I have a gun and I will shoot you.”To his surprise, Grandma saw it as a joke. “If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would have pulled it out,” she said,looking the man straight in the eye.
She was right.The man didn’t have a gun.So he wildly grabbed (抓住)her through the window and tried to pull her out of the truck. With the door now open, Grandma started kicking the man anywhere her feet could reach.After about 5 minutes’ fighting, the man wanted to release (放開) her and run.But Grandma wouldn’t agree.It was now her turn to grab him. People around rushed to her.Together, they caught the man.
At first, we grandkids were extremely angry with her,“Grandma, don’t you realize you could have gotten yourself killed?” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day—the same lesson that had been there through the years.
She would push us out of the house at 8:00 a.m., telling us to be back at dark.She taught us how to climb into the truck,which seemed frightening yet exciting. She taught us fearlessness.

Canada is a bilingual country with “co-official” languages. English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all government agencies in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from government in either English or French. Government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in certain bilingual regions.
Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years' War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (憲法)Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co-official languages.
Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.
The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English and French and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.
Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase “where numbers justify ”to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.
While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics. Canada finds that over 200 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French.
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。主要介紹了加拿大是一個雙語國家。使用兩種官方語言:英語和法語。說明了形成這兩種官方語言的歷史原因,以及這兩種官方語言目前面臨的現(xiàn)狀。
1.Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?
A.The language-using tradition caused by Canada's colonial history.
B.The theoretical commitment made by Canadian courts in the past.
C.The welcome attitude towards people coming from all over the world.
D.The mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education.
A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句“As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England.”可知,加拿大接受兩種官方語言的原因是加拿大殖民歷史形成的語言使用傳統(tǒng),故選A。
2.What is the current situation of official languages in Canada?
A.People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal laws.
B.Federal governments have to provide bilingual services to all citizens in Canada.
C.French minority communities are given more support due to their language-using history.
D.There are more people speaking English than French in some parts of Canada.
D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.”可知,加拿大官方語言的現(xiàn)實情況是說英語的人多于說法語的人,故選D。
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.
B.Some Canadians in certain districts might speak neither English nor French.
C.Either French or English should be used on products in Canada according to the law.
D.English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger users in Canada.
B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句中的“many Canadians speak another language entirely”可知,許多加拿大人說另一種完全不同的語言,即既不說英語也不說法語,故選B。
4.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.The Official Languages in Canada
B.Canada, a Multiple-language Land
C.Balancing English and French in Canada
D.Advancing English and French in Canada
A 標(biāo)題歸納題。本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了加拿大有兩種官方語言,形成這兩種官方語言的歷史原因以及官方語言目前面臨的現(xiàn)狀,故主要討論了加拿大的官方語言,故選A。

Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media (社交媒體).People who are over 55 are joining Facebook in increasing numbers,which means that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group—with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million aged over 65.
Surprisingly, 44% of grandparents say they have “excellent”skills in using social media.Sheila, 67, of Swansea, Mass., would put herself in this group.“I joined Facebook to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them.I also show off my garden when it’s in bloom (開花) or how happy my husband and I are when we go for a picnic to my family members.Without social media,I don’t think we would have the same relationship,” says Sheila.
Teenagers are spending so much time on their phones at home that they ignore their friends in real life.However, the elderly may not do the same.For example, Sheila has got in touch with old friends from school whom she hasn’t heard from in the past forty years.“We use Facebook to discuss when and where to meet,”she says.“It’s changed my life completely.”
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early users of the smartphone.Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or personal computer endlessly. He says, “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages.
【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。簡要介紹了不同年齡段的人使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)的不同習(xí)慣。
1.What does the first paragraph show?
A.More and more old people are using social media.
B.Grandparents become famous on social media.
C.Kids teach their grandparents to surf online.
D.Facebook manages to increase its users.
答案 A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知,如今,很多祖父母們開始使用社交媒體,55歲以上的人即將成為Facebook的第二大用戶群體。即越來越多的老年人開始使用社交媒體。
2.What can we learn about Sheila?
A.She lives far away from her grandchildren.
B.She persuaded her friends to use social media.
C.She gets closer to her family because of social media.
D.She enjoys sharing her grandchildren’s life online.
答案 C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中Sheila的話可知,她通過社交媒體了解孫輩的生活,也通過社交媒體和家人分享自己的生活。結(jié)合Without social media,I don’t think we would have the same relationship可以推知,Sheila認(rèn)為通過使用社交媒體,她和家人的距離更近了。
3.What does the underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Look after. B.Learn from.
C.Make room for. D.Pay no attention to.
答案 D 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的“青少年在家花太多時間玩手機”及畫線詞后“Sheila因使用Facebook和失去聯(lián)系40年的朋友聯(lián)系上了”可知,青少年因玩手機而忽略了現(xiàn)實生活中的朋友。ignore意為“不予理睬”。
4.Why does Peter use his old-style mobile phone in the evenings and at weekends?
A.To make calls and send text messages.
B.To set a good example to his children.
C.To stop working when at home.
D.To remember the old days.
答案 B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段,尤其是How could I tell my...a screen myself?可知,Peter在晚上和周末使用老式手機是為了給孩子樹立榜樣,避免孩子們沉迷于手機。
第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
The dictionary isn't forever. What happens to a word when its popularity starts to decline? Here's how the process of deleting a word from the dictionary works.
The dictionary is actually a steadily enlarging volume. 1 New words arise from emerging and expanding disciplines. Definitions also change and shift, so common words gain new meanings. On the other hand,there are also words that become outdated. 2
Who decides which words to delete? 3 While adding a word to the dictionary is a precise process, it's even more difficult for a word to get deleted. Editors maintain and study vast language databases to keep up-to-date on the words in circulation across various media.
The Oxford English Dictionary covers the English language over the last 1,000 years, and it's considered definitive and authoritative. 4 And each has its own process for additions and removals.
5 A 2019 petition (請愿) with 30,000 signatures calls for The Oxford English Dictionary to remove sexist language and definitions,especially those terms under the word “woman”. And The Merriam-Webster Dictionary recently changed definitions of identity-related words to reflect new cultural meanings around fairness.
A.Some new words might be out-of-date one day.
B.As a result, words get removed from the dictionary.
C.Dictionary additions and deletions reflect social changes.
D.It's up to the dictionary editors to make the final decision.
E.That's because the English language constantly develops and changes.
F.These are often the types of words that will make it into dictionaries.
G.However, there are many other dictionaries that are reliable and trustworthy.
【語篇解讀】 英語是不斷發(fā)展和變化的。新詞匯產(chǎn)生于新興和擴展的知識領(lǐng)域,定義也會變化,所以常用詞有了新的含義。另一方面,有些詞也會過時。本文主要說明了從詞典中刪除一個單詞的過程。
1.E 邏輯推斷。根據(jù)上文“The dictionary is actually a steadily enlarging volume.”可知,詞典實際上在不斷地擴大其詞匯量。下文提到了新的詞匯不斷產(chǎn)生和發(fā)展。由此可推知,本句應(yīng)介紹詞典不斷擴大的原因。故E項(這是因為英語語言不斷發(fā)展和變化)符合上下文語境。
2.B 邏輯推斷。根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句可知,另一方面,有些詞也會過時。下一段第一句講的是,那么誰來決定哪些單詞要被刪除呢?由此可推知,本句應(yīng)說明的是一些詞過時的結(jié)果。故B項(結(jié)果,單詞就被人們從字典中刪除了)符合上下文語境。
3.D 語境推斷。根據(jù)空前一句可知,上文提出問題,故本空應(yīng)是對上文提出的問題(誰決定刪除哪些單詞?)的回答。故D項(最終決定權(quán)在詞典編輯手中)符合上下文語境。
4.G 復(fù)現(xiàn)推斷。根據(jù)空后一句可知,每個詞典都有自己的添加和移除流程。其中each指代詞典,由此可推知,設(shè)空處也應(yīng)有“詞典”一詞。而空前一句講到,《牛津英語詞典》涵蓋了過去1 000年的英語語言,被認(rèn)為是權(quán)威且可靠的。結(jié)合選項可知,G項(然而,還有許多其他的詞典是可靠的并值得信賴的)符合此處語境。
5.C 語境推斷。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容可知,2019年,一份有3萬人簽名的請愿書呼吁《牛津英語詞典》刪除有關(guān)性別歧視的語言和定義,特別是在“女性”這一單詞下的不當(dāng)內(nèi)容。并且《韋氏詞典》最近改變了與身份有關(guān)的詞的定義,以反映關(guān)于公平的新的文化意義。由此可推知,本段主要講述的是社會的變化和詞典的增刪之間的關(guān)系。故C項(詞典的增刪反映了社會的變化)符合本段主旨。
第三部分 語言運用(共兩節(jié),滿分30分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題1分,滿分15分)
閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。
You may think that speaking English to yourself is a silly idea.In fact, it is one of the most __1__ ways of improving your speaking skills.
First off, speaking to yourself will __2__ you of the fear of making mistakes and feeling __3__ as you probably would when speaking with another person.You don’t even have to speak loudly.Yet, this will help you __4__ the sound of your own voice when speaking English, which you may find strange at first.
If you are wondering what there is to __5__ about, you can always start by expressing the __6__ you are having at the moment.What you say isn’t important; it’s __7__ that you simply keep talking.

Perfect your talking-to-yourself __10__ by using a mirror (鏡子) to make short 2-3 minute impromptu (即興的) speeches.Pick any topic you like,and speak about that __11__ for several minutes straight, without __12__.It’s important that you don’t stop speaking even if you feel that you have nothing else to __13__ or that you can’t find the right word.Go around and express your ideas in a(n) __14__ way. In time, you will realize how __15__ this exercise really is.
【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章介紹了自言自語說英語的好處以及如何利用該方法提高英語口語能力。
1.A.unusual B.effective C.difficult D.similar
答案 B 本句中的it指代上文中的speaking English to yourself,再由上文中的a silly idea、In fact和下文介紹自言自語的好處可知,本空所在句與上句形成對比關(guān)系。故effective(有效的)符合語境。
2.A.free B.tell C.warn D.a(chǎn)dvise
答案 A 解析見下題
3.A.excited B.calm C.a(chǎn)ngry D.nervous
答案 D 本段是把speaking to yourself與speaking with another person進行比較,說明自言自語說英語的好處。根據(jù)常識可知,與他人用英語交談一般會令人“緊張(nervous)”。自言自語的優(yōu)勢在于能讓你從犯錯的恐懼和與他人交談時的緊張中解脫出來。free...of...解除……。
4.A.listen to B.take care of C.pass on D.get used to
答案 D 根據(jù)下文中的you may find strange at first可知,自言自語說英語的另外一個好處是你對自己的聲音從陌生到接受的改變。故get used to(習(xí)慣于)符合語境。
5.A.learn B.speak C.worry D.discuss
答案 B 本文的關(guān)鍵信息為speaking (English) to yourself,故此處選speak,是對speaking的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。
6.A.methods B.stories C.ideas D.fears
答案 C 本段旨在介紹自言自語練習(xí)說英語的內(nèi)容有哪些,一種方法就是從表達(dá)你此刻的想法開始。故選ideas,且與下文中的ideas是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
7.A.natural B.interesting C.important D.strange
答案 C 本空前的important是提示。根據(jù)語境可知,你說什么并不重要,重要的是你要持續(xù)地說。
8.A.realizing B.remembering C.a(chǎn)ccepting D.imagining
答案 D 通過自言自語的方式,回答別人提出的問題,自然是一種想象,故選imagining。
9.A.think B.a(chǎn)nswer C.teach D.study
答案 A 由上文中的asking you questions so that you can answer them可知,用英語回答對方提出的問題,是一種練習(xí)用英語思考的極好方法。think符合語境。
10.A.problem B.skill C.situation D.understanding
答案 B 下文中的using a mirror to make short 2-3 minute impromptu speeches是一種完善自言自語“技巧(skill)”的方法。
11.A.person B.way C.topic D.speech
答案 C 本空是對上文中的topic的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。選項中的speech具有干擾性,但說的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是與某個話題相關(guān),而非與演講或說話方式相關(guān),故排除。
12.A.forgetting B.planning C.a(chǎn)dding D.stopping
答案 D 由下文中的you don’t stop speaking可知,此處是建議你要連續(xù)幾分鐘不停地說那個話題的內(nèi)容。本空與下文中的stop是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
13.A.say B.a(chǎn)ct C.change D.lose
答案 A 本空所在句旨在介紹不停地說的重要性,即使你覺得沒有什么可說的或者找不到合適的詞,也不要停止說話。故選say,且與speak是同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系。
14.A.single B.secret C.different D.common
答案 C 本空所在句承接上文內(nèi)容。當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)沒什么可說的或者找不到合適的詞時,如果想不停地說,可以用另一種方式表達(dá)你的想法。故different符合語境。
15.A.old B.helpful C.expensive D.tiring
答案 B 本空所在句中的this exercise指代“對著鏡子進行兩到三分鐘即興自言自語演講”的方法。由上文中的Perfect your talking-to-yourself...impromptu speeches可知,這種練習(xí)方法是有用的。故選helpful。
第二節(jié) (共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)
閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
The game of Go (圍棋) is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. In China, Go 1.________ (recognize) as “hand conversations” as well, through which players communicate with each other. 2.________ other words, they “talk” through the placing of pieces on the board. The metaphor (比喻) first 3.________ (use) by Zhi Daolin, a Buddhist master of the Jin Dynasty, reflects the nature of the game. While scholars of his time often lost 4.________ (they) in philosophical (哲學(xué)的) debates on life and universe, he preferred to play Go 5.________ he believed was full of hows and whys of life.
Master Go players often feel as if they were playing a real-life game: sometimes one can move forward, while at other times, one must slow down;sometimes one can 6.________ (direct) face the challenger, at other times one must take an indirect approach. Appropriate placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to 7.________ one might solve a difficult problem of life. The purpose of 8.________ (play) Go is not just to win but also, more importantly, to seek 9.________ (wise) through the process. The players unite with each other on the board. Instead of fighting as 10.________ (enemy), they cooperate to play a good game. One thoughtless move could ruin the enjoyment.
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文。短文介紹了中國圍棋背后的精神以及它體現(xiàn)出的生活哲理。
1.is recognized 句意:在中國,圍棋也被認(rèn)為是“手談”,玩家通過手對弈進行交流。分析句子可知,本句為一般現(xiàn)在時,主語Go與謂語recognize在邏輯上是被動關(guān)系,所以用is recognized。故填is recognized。
2.In 句意:換句話說,他們通過在黑板上放置棋子來“交談”。in other words“換句話說”為固定短語。故填I(lǐng)n。
3.used 句意:這一隱喻最早由晉代佛教大師智道林使用,反映了圍棋的本質(zhì)。分析句子可知,The metaphor與use在邏輯上是被動關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞used。故填used。
4.themselves 句意:當(dāng)他那個時代的學(xué)者們常常陷入關(guān)于生命和宇宙的哲學(xué)辯論時,他更喜歡下圍棋。他相信圍棋充滿了生活的哲理。主語與賓語表示同一個人時,賓語用反身代詞。所以用themselves。故填themselves。
5.which 句意見上題。分析句子可知,Go為先行詞,在后面的定語從句中作主語,所以關(guān)系代詞為which。故填which。
6.directly 句意:有時人可以直接面對挑戰(zhàn)者,有時必須采取間接的方法來面對挑戰(zhàn)者。修飾動詞face需用副詞。故填directly。
7.how 句意:一個小小的圍棋棋子的恰當(dāng)擺放就像一個人如何解決生活中的難題一樣。to為介詞,后接賓語從句,根據(jù)句意可知,空處缺少表示方式的連接副詞how。故填how。
8.playing 句意:下圍棋的目的不僅僅是為了贏,更重要的是在這個過程中尋求智慧。分析句子可知,of為介詞,后接動名詞playing。故填playing。
9.wisdom 句意見上題。seek 為及物動詞,后接名詞wisdom作賓語。故填wisdom。
10.enemies 句意:他們不是以敵人的身份在博弈,而是合作下好一盤棋。enemy為可數(shù)名詞,其前無任何修飾成分,所以空處應(yīng)填enemy的復(fù)數(shù)enemies。故填enemies。

第二節(jié)(滿分25分)
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
There are a few tips that can make road cycling fun and safe for people of all experience levels.In the United States, riders should usually ride on the right hand side of the road,while they may ride on the left side of the road in other countries.Besides, if the traffic is heavy, cyclists may be required to let other cars pass first in some areas.If bikeways are available (可用的), use the bikeways and know how to do safely. Generally,all road cyelists are required to follow all traffic signs and rules, even if other cars are not present.
Before your cycling, make sure the bike helmet (頭盔) fits according to the instructions.If the helmet is too large or too small, it can’t protect the cyclist’s head well. Protective eyewear (護目鏡)is also a good idea and must fit so it doesn’t fall off while speeding downhill or cycling uphill. If there are windy conditions,protective eyewear can help prevent dirt (灰塵) from causing the discomfort of eyes which can be a danger to a rider.
In fact, it is also important for riders to learn how to brake (剎車). This is usually done by quickly shaking the front brake. A good tip is to practice using the front brake before heading out on the road.Besides, it is important to learn how to ride in a bike group. It is often taught in a professional training team.
Finally, do not forget to plan and prepare for the bike route. For example, consider if road repairing is present on a given route.Besides,it may be more enjoyable to ride during times and on roads that do not have a heavy traffic.Meanwhile, consider whether a dog may be present;an angry dog may try to knock a cyclist over, and it may be best to find another route.
