People love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He used more than 15,000 words in this writing! But Bible’s Old Testament(旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrase.
If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted. Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was silly and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality, Shakespeare called them critics(评论家). Today, foe instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.
The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.

Nowadays, many of us spend about 10 hours a day in front of a Computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. The result is that our Brain easily feels tired. We need to give the brain a rest, but how?
David Strayer is a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. He claims that camping may be just what a tech-tired brain needs. His argument finds strong support from Carl and Kate, two experienced campers. Carl, who works for a mobile phone company, says that being outdoors makes him feel relaxed. It also prepares him for the work he must do. “Camping gives us a chance to be in touch with nature and it’s very relaxing. When you return to work on Monday, you’re in a better state of mind. I really like the way I feel on Monday.” Kate is a senior editor. She says camping brings her some peace she couldn’t have otherwise. She even finds herself more creative.
David Strayer explains that camping allows close contact with nature and being in nature calms the brain and helps it to focus. When people go camping, they need to learn about animals and natural environments; they have to deal with the weather, learn to stay dry in the rain or warm in the snow and have to keep the feet in good condition when hiking and walking.
Some might say that taking a long walk in the woods or by the ocean or in a city park is wonderful, too. But camping requires that one spend more time in nature and it can test him in different ways. And it brings more health benefit as well.
18. What is the result of using electronic devices too much?
A. We will waste time. B. Our brain will feel tired.
C. Our study will be influenced. D. Our brain will be refreshed.
19. Why does the author take Carl and Kate as examples?
A. To show advantages of camping B. To share their work experiences.
C. To show their interest in camping. D. To share a good camping site.
20. Which of the following is the benefit of camping?
A. It helps protect the environment. B. It teaches us to avoid difficult situations.
C. It teaches us to keep warm in the rain. D. It helps us learn more about nature.
21. What is the author’s attitude towards camping?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
【答案】18. B 19. A 20. D 21. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是野营的好处。
18. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The result is that our Brain easily feels tired.（结果就是我们的大脑很容易感到疲劳）”可知，过度使用电子设备的结果是我们的大脑会感到疲劳。故选B。
19. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“He claims that camping may be just what a tech-tired brain needs. His argument finds strong support from Carl and Kate, two experienced campers. Carl, who works for a mobile phone company, says that being outdoors makes him feel relaxed. It also prepares him for the work he must do.（他声称，露营可能正是一个科技疲劳的大脑所需要的。他的观点得到了卡尔和凯特的有力支持，这两个人都是经验丰富的露营者。卡尔在一家移动电话公司工作，他说待在户外让他感到放松。这也为他必须做的工作做好准备）”和“She says camping brings her some peace she couldn’t have otherwise. She even finds herself more creative.（她说，野营给她带来了一些用其他方法无法获得的平静。她甚至发现自己更有创造力了）”可知，作者以卡尔和凯特为例是为了说明野营的优点，故选A。
20. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“When people go camping, they need to learn about animals and natural environments; they have to deal with the weather, learn to stay dry in the rain or warm in the snow and have to keep the feet in good condition when hiking and walking.（当人们去露营时，他们需要了解动物和自然环境；他们必须应对天气，学会在雨中保持干燥，在雪中保持温暖，在徒步和行走时必须保持良好的双脚状态）”可知，露营的好处是帮助我们更多地了解自然。故选D。
21. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But camping requires that one spend more time in nature and it can test him in different ways. And it brings more health benefit as well.（但露营需要一个人花更多的时间在大自然中，它可以在不同的方面考验他。它也带来更多的健康益处）”可知，作者觉得露营很好，因此对露营的态度是支持的，积极的，即Positive，故选B。

Our culture is the system we use to build our identity. All living things are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines like daily housework and weekly shopping. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis.
Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are naturally expected of all members of that society.
Often, cultures can be recognized by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes cultures may be formed by people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do.
Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong feelings connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result.
People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we communicate, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures.
22. Where does the real strength of culture?
A. In arts. B. In families. C. In societies. D. In languages.
23. Which of the following may the author disagree with according to the passage?
A. Culture is the way we behave. B. Culture doesn’t exist in animals.
C. Cultures may not agree with each other. D. Cultures help us understand ourselves.
24. How can people appreciate cultural differences?
A. By communicating. B. By preparing to fight.
C. By building a wall. D. By making friends.
25. What is the best title for the passage?
A. What Is Culture? B. What Is Society? C. What Is Tradition? D. What Is System
【答案】22. C 23. B 24. A 25. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。我们的文化是我们用来建立身份认同的系统。文章主要围绕着“文化是什么”而展开，论述了存在文化的群体以及文化的作用。
22. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The real strength of culture is in larger community groups. These larger groups are called societies.（文化的真正力量在于更大的社区群体。这些较大的群体被称为社会）”可知，文化的真正力量在社会。故选C。
23. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“All living things are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture!（ 所有的生物都是文化的一部分。即使是动物也有自己的文化！）”可知，B选项“文化在动物中不存在”的观点作者不会同意。故选B。
24. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The more we communicate, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures.（我们交流得越多，就越能理解文化的差异）”可知，人们通过交流欣赏文化差异。故选A。
25. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines like daily housework and weekly shopping. It also includes traditions.“（那么什么是文化呢？这是我们在群体中的行为方式。它始于每个家庭。在我们的家庭中，我们做一些事情来建立彼此之间的关系。这包括日常家务和每周购物。它也包括传统。传统是定期重复的活动）”结合文章主要围绕着“文化是什么”而展开，论述了存在文化的群体以及文化的作用。可知，A选项“文化是什么”最符合文章标题。故选A。

第二节 读后续写（共1小题；满分15分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为80左右。
My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er … What … What do you really want to do in the beautiful future?”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him down?” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may not be the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious, Dad?”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs(螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we get lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while. Then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting(蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
Paragraph 1:
At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn’t give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoys and hold on to it.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to schoolwork, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literary journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.
【解析】
