Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students. There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms(校服).
I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers(同龄人间的平等).
From sixth grade until I graduated from high school, I attended a school that required students to wear uniforms. The uniform was very simple: dark brown shoes, green-brown pants, and a white shirt. The uniform left little room for any kind of self-expression, especially through clothes.
However, I learned how to stand out by expressing myself through my personality, art, and sports. I did not know I could draw until the sixth grade. I also would never have learned of my musical abilities if it were not for my desire to find ways to express myself. Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.
Uniforms also help to a much safer learning environment. I remember a particular event that happened in my junior year of high school. A man ran away from prison and wanted to hide in the gym of our school. Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place. School officials kept the man locked inside our gym until the police came to take him back to prison.
Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class(经济阶层). In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.
24. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By explaining a basic rule.

25. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Uniforms should be more modern.
B. Uniforms are popular with students.
C. Uniforms can help shape better students.
D. Uniforms are bad for self-development.
26. What do the underlined words “out of place” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Running fast. B. Standing straight.
C. Dressing differently. D. Breathing heavily.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To record his high school life.
B. To introduce high school uniforms.
C. To ask students to like what they wear.
D. To show his favorable view towards uniforms.
You probably learned in elementary school that counting the rings of a tree trunk is a simple way to measure its history and age. But what if you need to find out how old a live and healthy tree is without calling in an expert?
Cutting it open to determine its age would cause irreversible(不可逆转的) damage to a live tree. But there is one quick way to determine a standing tree’s age and it calls for a bit of math. First use a tape measure to record the circumference(周长) of the tree trunk at roughly 1.3 meters from the ground. Next, it’s time to determine the tree’s diameter(直径). To do that, divide the tree’s circumference by pi(3.14). Then, take the diameter and multiply it by the species’ specific growth factor(因子) number. This is where knowing the tree species is vital.
Scientists used their knowledge to uncover growth factors for each tree species. Multiplying the tree’s diameter by the tree’s specific growth factor will give you the tree’s rough age.
Growth factors vary from two to seven and beyond. The growth factors for some of the most common tree species include: red maple: 4.5, cottonwood: 2, sugar maple: 5.5, dogwood: 7, and white oak: 5. So let’s take a red maple, which has a growth factor of 4.5, and assume it has a circumference of 22 inches. To get its age, divide 22 inches by pi to get the tree’s diameter — 7 inches. Now take 7 and multiply that by 4.5, which is the red maple’s growth factor and you get 31.5, the rough age of the tree.
This is a simple way to count roughly a tree’s age without threatening the tree’s health, but it doesn’t guarantee 100 percent exactness; growth factors are most exact for trees found in healthy forests. Urban trees face stressors like poor soil or limited growing areas that may affect their overall health and growth.
28. What is the problem with the familiar method of counting a tree’s age?
A. It is not exact. B. It is not suitable for a living tree.
C. It needs the help of an expert. D. It takes too much time.
29. What is important in calculating the age of a live tree?
A. The tree species. B. The growth speed of the tree.
C. The height of the tree. D. The living environment of the tree.
30. What is the age of a sugar maple 6 inches in diameter?
A. 27. B. 30. C. 33. D. 42.
31. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Uncover Trees’ Growth Factors
B. What Affects the Age of a Tree
C. How to Keep a Tree Live and Healthy
D. How to Get the Age of a Live Tree Mathematically
The ability to use the left hand is referred to as left-handedness. Left-handedness is actually more common in the male population than in females. There are a number of myths about them.
It is difficult for left-handed children to learn writing of the alphabet, without personal tutoring. Not true at all. Observe the left-handed toddler. Everyone else is more bothered about his left-handedness than he himself is. The left-handed child adapts to writing, drawing and all other activities that require him to hold a writing tool as early as the right-handed. In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.
Lefties have a lesser chance of surviving a hand-to-hand fight. This is anything but true. History bears witness to the advantage left-handedness had during hand-to-hand fights and even within the boxing ring. In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.
Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.
Research shows that left-handed people are in fact high achievers. This is because their brains are structured to widen their abilities. A number of mathematical, artistic and sporting geniuses were and are left-handed. However, most left-handers over the world, might have, at some stage in their life, been on the receiving end of devalued comments regarding their choice of hand. I am sure this list and discussion about left-handed people would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.
32. Compared to right-handed children, what can we learn about left-handed ones?
A. They find it hard to learn writing.
B. They are tired of the left-handedness.
C. They are used to writing tools too late.
D. They may have more beautiful handwriting.
33. What advantage do lefties have in hand-to-hand fights?
A. They could start a surprise attack with their left hands.
B. They could attack their partners’ left sides surprisingly.
C. They have a better chance to beat their partners in history.
D. They are good at fighting especially within the boxing ring.
34. What is the computer mouse mentioned to show us?
A. Left-handed people are in fact high achievers.
B. Left-handed people have many disadvantages.
C. Many tools are designed for the left-handed.
D. Many left-handed receive bad remarks daily.
35. What is the author’s attitude to left-handedness?
A. Indifferent. B. Confused. C. Critical. D. Favorable.

第二部分、读后续写
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. “No Santa Claus?” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for break during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I chose a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid ten dollars down. “Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap(包裹) the coat in Christmas paper.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open.

M: Right, do you have to help around the house?
W: Not really.
M: So you don’t have to do anything for this pocket money?!
W: Mom said if I did that, I would never have time to do my schoolwork.
M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you’re 15?
W: Well, Mom just says she’ll decide when I am ready to have more, and I have just got to wait.

W: So, I should talk to her again?
M: Yes, but don’t argue with her. Just discuss it calmly.
W: OK thanks!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to east campus library. To start your tour, I’m going to give you some useful information and regulations. I won’t keep you long. First, how to enter our library. Thanks to the advanced technology, you just need to bring your student card and touch it in front of the touch point and the door will automatically open for you. Then the opening hours. Our library is open from 9 am to 10 pm every weekday. For the weekends, it’s only open from 11 am to 4 pm. Please bear that in mind, so you won’t come in vain. Our library is also open for the local residents. And there are differences for students and the public: our current students can borrow up to 12 books at a time. However, for the rest, the maximum they can borrow is 9. You need to return the books on time, or your library account will be blocked and you can’t borrow any more books. Remember books have different due days according to their popularity. Mostly, the books should be returned within 4 weeks, but for the popular books you have to bring them back within only one week. The last thing I must mention here is that you are not allowed to smoke in the library anywhere at any time. And as to drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in. OK, now it’s time to show you where everything is.

本文是篇夹叙夹议文。为了避免因服装不同造成学生之间的一些差别和攀比，穿校服成为一个较好的解决办法。作者通过自身的一些经历和体会，讲述了穿校服带来的好处。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms.”（这个问题有一个简单的解决办法：校服）可知，作者用“this problem”引出了文章主题。根据第一段中“Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year.

The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students.”（每年8月左右，数百万青少年带着父母去商店为新学年的开始购买新衣服。不是每个家长都能负担得起，一些青少年被迫穿和去年一样的衣服去上学。服装上的明显差异造成了学生之间的差异。）可知，这是一个普遍问题，所以作者是通过描写一个普遍问题而引出主题。故选D。
25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers（同龄人间的平等）.”（我从个人经历和调查中了解到，穿制服会在同龄人之间产生一种平等感），第四段“Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.”（校服让我知道我就是我自己，除了我的穿着。）、第五段“Uniforms also help to a much safer learning environment.”（校服还有助于营造更安全的学习环境。）和最后一段“Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class(经济阶层).”（校服有助于为所有学生提供更好的教育体验，无论什么种族、文化或经济阶层）可知，作者认为校服对学生有很大好处，能够帮助塑造更好的学生。故选C。
26. 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place.”（幸运的是，在可能发生危险之前，遍布学校里的摄像头很快发现了这个陌生人，因为他out of place。）并结合全文可知，这个陌生人因为没有穿校服，与其它同学不相称，所以很显眼，很容易被发现，out of place意为“穿着不同（Dressing differently）”。故选C。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.”（总之，穿校服对学校和学生都有好处。）并结合前文可知，作者主要是为了描写穿校服的好处，表达自己支持校服的观点。故选D。
28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是如何通过数学知识来计算活树的年龄。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“You probably learned in elementary school that counting the rings of a tree trunk is a simple way to measure its history and age.”（你可能在小学就学到，计算树干的年轮是一个简单的衡量它的历史和年龄的方法。）及第二段中“Cutting it open to determine its age would cause irreversible(不可逆转的) damage to a live tree.”（把它切开以确定它的年龄会对一棵活树造成不可逆转的伤害。）可知，人们熟悉的数树干的年轮确定树木的年龄的方法不适用于活树。故选B。
29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then, take the diameter and multiply it by the species’ specific growth factor(因子) number. This is where knowing the tree species is vital.”（然后，取直径乘以物种的特定生长因子数。这是了解树种的至关重要的地方。）可知，要确定一棵活树的年龄，知道这种树的种类是非常重要的。故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Multiplying the tree’s diameter by the tree’s specific growth factor will give you the tree’s rough age.”（把树的直径乘以树的特定生长因子，你就得到了树的大概年龄。）及第四段中“The growth factors for some of the most common tree species include: red maple: 4.5, cottonwood: 2, sugar maple: 5.5,”（一些最常见的树种的生长因子包括：红枫：4.5；杨木：2；糖枫：5.5）可知，糖枫的特定生长因子为5.5，结合题干中提到的直径为6英寸，所以这棵糖枫的树龄为：5.5*6=33，故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第二段中“But there is one quick way to determine a standing tree’s age and it calls for a bit of math.”（但是有一种快速的方法可以确定一棵活树的年龄，这需要一些数学知识。）同时结合下文中提到的具体的计算方法，因而推断本文主要讲述的是如何通过数学知识来计算活树的年龄的方法。D项“如何用数学方法计算出一棵活的树的年龄”为最佳标题。故选D。
32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍关于左撇子的许多神话。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.（事实上，许多左撇子的字写得比右撇子同伴更好。）”可知，很多左撇子孩子的字写得更漂亮。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.（事实上，一个普遍的观察是，左撇子战斗者能够在张开的、没有保护的右侧发动强烈的突然袭击。）”可知，左撇子在肉搏战中的优势是能够在右侧，用左手突袭。故选A。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools too are available, such that they can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.（左撇子很多时候在使用为右撇子设计的工具时处于劣势。嗯，这是真的，但是今天，有各种各样的工具和设备是为左撇子设计的。也有许多右手工具可用，因此它们可以模制以满足左撇子工匠的需求。甚至电脑鼠标在使用中也受到了挑战，触摸板为左撇子提供了专业平等的机会。）”可知，本段主要说明现如今许多工具都是为左撇子设计的。所以推断作者提及鼠标是为了向我们说明许多工具都是为左撇子设计的。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I am sure this list and discussion about left-handed people would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.（我相信这份名单和关于左撇子的讨论足以让我们为自己是左撇子而自豪。）”可推断，作者对左撇子的态度是称赞的。故选D。
36. C 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. D
这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了人们对运动会是否要有输赢的不同观点。
36. 根据前文“These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere.（这两个字可以在各地的学生心中激起喜悦和恐惧）”可知，本段会分别说喜欢运动和恐惧运动的人，再根据后文“For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.（对其他人来说，这可能就像不得不参加他们不擅长的事情一样）”可知，后文讲过恐惧运动的人，所以空处应是喜欢运动的人，所以C项“For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.（对许多人来说，运动会是很有趣的一天）”符合文意。故选C项。
37. 由上文“They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are.（他们希望通过减少运动日的竞争性，激发所有能力的孩子参加运动，而不必担心失败。运动和健身对每个人来说都很重要，无论你在运动方面有多擅长）”可知，上文讲非竞争性运动让所有孩子不必担心失败，尽情地运动，这是它的益处，E选项“Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.（每个人都应该为自己的努力和发挥作用而庆祝）”承接上文讲非竞争性运动给孩子带来的益处。故选E项。
38. 由上文“However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win.（然而，一些人认为运动有赢家很重要，学会输和学会如何赢一样重要）”和下文“Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!（尤其是在运动日，这是你真正证明自己的机会！）”可知，上下文讲赢的重要性，A选项“What’s the point if no one wins?（如果没有人赢，那有什么意义？）”体现了对嬴得看重。故选A项。
39. 分析设空可知，空处位于段首，起到引领全段的作用，是对本段的高度概括，所以根据后文“According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer ‘traditional’ competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing.（据家庭在线2017年的一项调查，82%的父母表示他们更喜欢‘传统的’竞技体育日。许多成年人认为孩子可以从输赢中学到宝贵的经验）”可知，本段是在讲大部分人都同意上文提到的观点，特别是父母，所以F项“There are lots of people who agree with the idea — parents in particular!（有很多人同意这个想法，尤其是父母!）”符合文意。故选F项。
40. 根据后文“We want to know your ideas.（我们想知道你的想法）”可推断，空处应是提了一个问题，此处才会说想知道你的想法，再根据前文“People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days.（当谈到学校运动会时，到底是获胜还是参与才是重要的，人们有不同的看法）”可知，本段主要是在讨论学校运动会，所以应该是针对学校运动会提问。所以D项“So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not?（那么，学校运动会是否应该是竞争性的呢？）”符合文意。故选D项。
41. C 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. B 46. A 47. B 48. C 49. A 50. D 51. A 52. B 53. B 54. C 55. D
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者10岁时去迪士尼世界度假，要参加的派对需要穿公主礼服，但是，由于疾病和药物，作者很胖，没有合适的礼服，她很伤心。后来，16岁时，又一次和家人去迪士尼世界，这一次，妈妈和作者决定亲手制作适合自己的礼服，这时的作者终于明白：成为公主并不是以“瘦，漂亮，尺寸”为标准，而是自己的精神状态。无论什么样，都可以是公主。
41. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我10岁的时候，我和家人第一次去迪士尼世界度假，我们要去参加一个“海盗和公主派对”。A. classmate同班同学；B. partner伙伴；C. family家人；D. friend朋友。根据后文“my mom（我的妈妈）”可推知，作者和家人一起去迪士尼世界。故选C项。

52. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：要找到适合我尺寸的公主礼服仍然很困难，但我和妈妈决定自己做一条神奇的公主礼服，向10岁的我证明我是公主，而且我不需要寻找某种特定的方式来成为公主。A. room房间；B. size尺寸；C. hand手；D. pack纸包。分析语境“a princess dress（一件公主礼服）”可知，对应的应是B项“size（尺寸）”，作者仍然很难找到符合自己尺寸的公主礼服。故选B项。

Dear Jim,
I am really sorry to know that you have been suffering from poor health these days. In response to your request in the last letter, I am glad to offer my advice.
First of all, a balanced diet is of prime importance, considering how obsessed you are with sweet food. It is urgent that you eat more fresh vegetables and fruit and avoid food high in fat and sugar. Besides, daily exercise is equally important. Stick to it, and you will definitely get in better shape. Furthermore, it is said that you will have a healthier heart with at least 7 hours of sleep every night. So, do get enough sleep! One more thing: stay positive and smile more.
I do hope my advice will be of practical help to you. I’m looking forward to your recovery.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap(包裹) the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, from Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby’s house, explaining I was officially one of the Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, dashing for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded on his doorbell and then I hid in the car with my grandma.
Paragraph2:
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. Finally, it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he glanced around and looked quite astonished. Seconds later, he called his mother to go out for a check. Hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Clause, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that moment, I even made up my mind to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that a person who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas present under the tree.

Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students. There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms(校服).
I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers(同龄人间的平等).
From sixth grade until I graduated from high school, I attended a school that required students to wear uniforms. The uniform was very simple: dark brown shoes, green-brown pants, and a white shirt. The uniform left little room for any kind of self-expression, especially through clothes.
However, I learned how to stand out by expressing myself through my personality, art, and sports. I did not know I could draw until the sixth grade. I also would never have learned of my musical abilities if it were not for my desire to find ways to express myself. Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.
Uniforms also help to a much safer learning environment. I remember a particular event that happened in my junior year of high school. A man ran away from prison and wanted to hide in the gym of our school. Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place. School officials kept the man locked inside our gym until the police came to take him back to prison.
Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class(经济阶层). In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.
24. How does the author introduce the topic?

You probably learned in elementary school that counting the rings of a tree trunk is a simple way to measure its history and age. But what if you need to find out how old a live and healthy tree is without calling in an expert?
Cutting it open to determine its age would cause irreversible(不可逆转的) damage to a live tree. But there is one quick way to determine a standing tree’s age and it calls for a bit of math. First use a tape measure to record the circumference(周长) of the tree trunk at roughly 1.3 meters from the ground. Next, it’s time to determine the tree’s diameter(直径). To do that, divide the tree’s circumference by pi(3.14). Then, take the diameter and multiply it by the species’ specific growth factor(因子) number. This is where knowing the tree species is vital.
Scientists used their knowledge to uncover growth factors for each tree species. Multiplying the tree’s diameter by the tree’s specific growth factor will give you the tree’s rough age.
Growth factors vary from two to seven and beyond. The growth factors for some of the most common tree species include: red maple: 4.5, cottonwood: 2, sugar maple: 5.5, dogwood: 7, and white oak: 5. So let’s take a red maple, which has a growth factor of 4.5, and assume it has a circumference of 22 inches. To get its age, divide 22 inches by pi to get the tree’s diameter — 7 inches. Now take 7 and multiply that by 4.5, which is the red maple’s growth factor and you get 31.5, the rough age of the tree.
This is a simple way to count roughly a tree’s age without threatening the tree’s health, but it doesn’t guarantee 100 percent exactness; growth factors are most exact for trees found in healthy forests. Urban trees face stressors like poor soil or limited growing areas that may affect their overall health and growth.
28. What is the problem with the familiar method of counting a tree’s age?
A. It is not exact. B. It is not suitable for a living tree.
C. It needs the help of an expert. D. It takes too much time.
29. What is important in calculating the age of a live tree?
A. The tree species. B. The growth speed of the tree.
C. The height of the tree. D. The living environment of the tree.
30. What is the age of a sugar maple 6 inches in diameter?
A. 27. B. 30. C. 33. D. 42.
31. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Uncover Trees’ Growth Factors
B. What Affects the Age of a Tree
C. How to Keep a Tree Live and Healthy
D. How to Get the Age of a Live Tree Mathematically
The ability to use the left hand is referred to as left-handedness. Left-handedness is actually more common in the male population than in females. There are a number of myths about them.
It is difficult for left-handed children to learn writing of the alphabet, without personal tutoring. Not true at all. Observe the left-handed toddler. Everyone else is more bothered about his left-handedness than he himself is. The left-handed child adapts to writing, drawing and all other activities that require him to hold a writing tool as early as the right-handed. In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.
Lefties have a lesser chance of surviving a hand-to-hand fight. This is anything but true. History bears witness to the advantage left-handedness had during hand-to-hand fights and even within the boxing ring. In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.
Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.
Research shows that left-handed people are in fact high achievers. This is because their brains are structured to widen their abilities. A number of mathematical, artistic and sporting geniuses were and are left-handed. However, most left-handers over the world, might have, at some stage in their life, been on the receiving end of devalued comments regarding their choice of hand. I am sure this list and discussion about left-handed people would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.
32. Compared to right-handed children, what can we learn about left-handed ones?
A. They find it hard to learn writing.
B. They are tired of the left-handedness.
C. They are used to writing tools too late.
D. They may have more beautiful handwriting.
33. What advantage do lefties have in hand-to-hand fights?
A. They could start a surprise attack with their left hands.
B. They could attack their partners’ left sides surprisingly.
C. They have a better chance to beat their partners in history.
D. They are good at fighting especially within the boxing ring.
34. What is the computer mouse mentioned to show us?
A. Left-handed people are in fact high achievers.
B. Left-handed people have many disadvantages.
C. Many tools are designed for the left-handed.
D. Many left-handed receive bad remarks daily.
35. What is the author’s attitude to left-handedness?
A. Indifferent. B. Confused. C. Critical. D. Favorable.

第二部分、读后续写
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. “No Santa Claus?” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for break during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I chose a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid ten dollars down. “Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

本文是篇夹叙夹议文。为了避免因服装不同造成学生之间的一些差别和攀比，穿校服成为一个较好的解决办法。作者通过自身的一些经历和体会，讲述了穿校服带来的好处。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms.”（这个问题有一个简单的解决办法：校服）可知，作者用“this problem”引出了文章主题。根据第一段中“Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students.”（每年8月左右，数百万青少年带着父母去商店为新学年的开始购买新衣服。不是每个家长都能负担得起，一些青少年被迫穿和去年一样的衣服去上学。服装上的明显差异造成了学生之间的差异。）可知，这是一个普遍问题，所以作者是通过描写一个普遍问题而引出主题。故选D。
25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers（同龄人间的平等）.”（我从个人经历和调查中了解到，穿制服会在同龄人之间产生一种平等感），第四段“Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.”（校服让我知道我就是我自己，除了我的穿着。）、第五段“Uniforms also help to a much safer learning environment.”（校服还有助于营造更安全的学习环境。）和最后一段“Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class(经济阶层).”（校服有助于为所有学生提供更好的教育体验，无论什么种族、文化或经济阶层）可知，作者认为校服对学生有很大好处，能够帮助塑造更好的学生。故选C。
26. 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place.”（幸运的是，在可能发生危险之前，遍布学校里的摄像头很快发现了这个陌生人，因为他out of place。）并结合全文可知，这个陌生人因为没有穿校服，与其它同学不相称，所以很显眼，很容易被发现，out of place意为“穿着不同（Dressing differently）”。故选C。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.”（总之，穿校服对学校和学生都有好处。）并结合前文可知，作者主要是为了描写穿校服的好处，表达自己支持校服的观点。故选D。
28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是如何通过数学知识来计算活树的年龄。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“You probably learned in elementary school that counting the rings of a tree trunk is a simple way to measure its history and age.”（你可能在小学就学到，计算树干的年轮是一个简单的衡量它的历史和年龄的方法。）及第二段中“Cutting it open to determine its age would cause irreversible(不可逆转的) damage to a live tree.”（把它切开以确定它的年龄会对一棵活树造成不可逆转的伤害。）可知，人们熟悉的数树干的年轮确定树木的年龄的方法不适用于活树。故选B。
29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then, take the diameter and multiply it by the species’ specific growth factor(因子) number. This is where knowing the tree species is vital.”（然后，取直径乘以物种的特定生长因子数。这是了解树种的至关重要的地方。）可知，要确定一棵活树的年龄，知道这种树的种类是非常重要的。故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Multiplying the tree’s diameter by the tree’s specific growth factor will give you the tree’s rough age.”（把树的直径乘以树的特定生长因子，你就得到了树的大概年龄。）及第四段中“The growth factors for some of the most common tree species include: red maple: 4.5, cottonwood: 2, sugar maple: 5.5,”（一些最常见的树种的生长因子包括：红枫：4.5；杨木：2；糖枫：5.5）可知，糖枫的特定生长因子为5.5，结合题干中提到的直径为6英寸，所以这棵糖枫的树龄为：5.5*6=33，故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第二段中“But there is one quick way to determine a standing tree’s age and it calls for a bit of math.”（但是有一种快速的方法可以确定一棵活树的年龄，这需要一些数学知识。）同时结合下文中提到的具体的计算方法，因而推断本文主要讲述的是如何通过数学知识来计算活树的年龄的方法。D项“如何用数学方法计算出一棵活的树的年龄”为最佳标题。故选D。
32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍关于左撇子的许多神话。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.（事实上，许多左撇子的字写得比右撇子同伴更好。）”可知，很多左撇子孩子的字写得更漂亮。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.（事实上，一个普遍的观察是，左撇子战斗者能够在张开的、没有保护的右侧发动强烈的突然袭击。）”可知，左撇子在肉搏战中的优势是能够在右侧，用左手突袭。故选A。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools too are available, such that they can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.（左撇子很多时候在使用为右撇子设计的工具时处于劣势。嗯，这是真的，但是今天，有各种各样的工具和设备是为左撇子设计的。也有许多右手工具可用，因此它们可以模制以满足左撇子工匠的需求。甚至电脑鼠标在使用中也受到了挑战，触摸板为左撇子提供了专业平等的机会。）”可知，本段主要说明现如今许多工具都是为左撇子设计的。所以推断作者提及鼠标是为了向我们说明许多工具都是为左撇子设计的。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I am sure this list and discussion about left-handed people would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.（我相信这份名单和关于左撇子的讨论足以让我们为自己是左撇子而自豪。）”可推断，作者对左撇子的态度是称赞的。故选D。
36. C 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. D
这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了人们对运动会是否要有输赢的不同观点。
36. 根据前文“These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere.（这两个字可以在各地的学生心中激起喜悦和恐惧）”可知，本段会分别说喜欢运动和恐惧运动的人，再根据后文“For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.（对其他人来说，这可能就像不得不参加他们不擅长的事情一样）”可知，后文讲过恐惧运动的人，所以空处应是喜欢运动的人，所以C项“For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.（对许多人来说，运动会是很有趣的一天）”符合文意。故选C项。
37. 由上文“They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are.（他们希望通过减少运动日的竞争性，激发所有能力的孩子参加运动，而不必担心失败。运动和健身对每个人来说都很重要，无论你在运动方面有多擅长）”可知，上文讲非竞争性运动让所有孩子不必担心失败，尽情地运动，这是它的益处，E选项“Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.（每个人都应该为自己的努力和发挥作用而庆祝）”承接上文讲非竞争性运动给孩子带来的益处。故选E项。
38. 由上文“However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win.（然而，一些人认为运动有赢家很重要，学会输和学会如何赢一样重要）”和下文“Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!（尤其是在运动日，这是你真正证明自己的机会！）”可知，上下文讲赢的重要性，A选项“What’s the point if no one wins?（如果没有人赢，那有什么意义？）”体现了对嬴得看重。故选A项。
39. 分析设空可知，空处位于段首，起到引领全段的作用，是对本段的高度概括，所以根据后文“According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer ‘traditional’ competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing.（据家庭在线2017年的一项调查，82%的父母表示他们更喜欢‘传统的’竞技体育日。许多成年人认为孩子可以从输赢中学到宝贵的经验）”可知，本段是在讲大部分人都同意上文提到的观点，特别是父母，所以F项“There are lots of people who agree with the idea — parents in particular!（有很多人同意这个想法，尤其是父母!）”符合文意。故选F项。
40. 根据后文“We want to know your ideas.（我们想知道你的想法）”可推断，空处应是提了一个问题，此处才会说想知道你的想法，再根据前文“People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days.（当谈到学校运动会时，到底是获胜还是参与才是重要的，人们有不同的看法）”可知，本段主要是在讨论学校运动会，所以应该是针对学校运动会提问。所以D项“So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not?（那么，学校运动会是否应该是竞争性的呢？）”符合文意。故选D项。
41. C 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. B 46. A 47. B 48. C 49. A 50. D 51. A 52. B 53. B 54. C 55. D
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者10岁时去迪士尼世界度假，要参加的派对需要穿公主礼服，但是，由于疾病和药物，作者很胖，没有合适的礼服，她很伤心。后来，16岁时，又一次和家人去迪士尼世界，这一次，妈妈和作者决定亲手制作适合自己的礼服，这时的作者终于明白：成为公主并不是以“瘦，漂亮，尺寸”为标准，而是自己的精神状态。无论什么样，都可以是公主。
41. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我10岁的时候，我和家人第一次去迪士尼世界度假，我们要去参加一个“海盗和公主派对”。A. classmate同班同学；B. partner伙伴；C. family家人；D. friend朋友。根据后文“my mom（我的妈妈）”可推知，作者和家人一起去迪士尼世界。故选C项。
42. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们不知道这是化装舞会，但没问题——我妈妈说她会带我去买公主礼服。A. problem问题；B. surprise惊讶；C. chance机会；D. wonder惊奇。根据后文“my mom said she’d ____3____ me to get a princess dress（我妈妈说她会带我去买公主礼服）”可知，妈妈说要给作者买一套公主礼服，因此，刚开始没有装扮用的戏服也没问题。故选A项。
43. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们不知道这是化装舞会，但没问题——我妈妈说她会带我去买公主礼服。A. persuade说服；B. encourage鼓励C. send发送；D. take引领。根据后文“the land of princesses（公主的国度）”可知，她们去了卖礼服的地方买礼服，take sb. to do意为“带某人去做某事”。故选D项。
44. 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们去了“公主的国度”，但他们没有适合我的戏服。A. struggled for为……奋斗；B. paid for支付；C. asked for请求；D. headed for前往。根据后文“but they didn’t have one for me（但他们没有适合我的戏服）”可知，妈妈带作者去买公主礼服，“head for+某地”，意为“前往某地”。故选D项。
45. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的疾病和药物导致了我的超重。A. trouble麻烦；B. illness疾病；C. injury受伤；D. addiction添加物。与前文“Lyme disease（莱姆病）”相呼应，这里应是B项“illness”，作者的疾病和药物使她肥胖。故选B项。
46. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我太大了，不适合儿童戏服，成人戏服也不适合我。A. big大的；B. small小的；C. tall高的；D. thin瘦的。根据前文“I was in the beginning stage of Lyme disease.（我当时正处于莱姆病的初期阶段）”可知，作者由于生病和药物变得很胖，因此，对于孩子尺码的戏服来说，她太“大”了。故选A项。
47. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我太大了，不适合儿童戏服，成人戏服也不适合我。A. appear出现；B. work工作；C. cheat欺骗；D. crack裂开。根据主语“the adult costumes（成人戏服）”可推知，成人的戏服应该也不适合作者，“work for sb.”可以理解为“为某人工作，适用于某人”。故选B项。

51. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：要找到适合我尺寸的公主礼服仍然很困难，但我和妈妈决定自己做一条神奇的公主礼服，向10岁的我证明我是公主，而且我不需要寻找某种特定的方式来成为公主。A. hard困难的；B. convenient方便的；C. strange奇怪的；D. possible可能的。“still”意为“仍然，还”，因此这里应是表达作者仍然像上一次一样很难找到合适的公主礼服。故选A项。
52. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：要找到适合我尺寸的公主礼服仍然很困难，但我和妈妈决定自己做一条神奇的公主礼服，向10岁的我证明我是公主，而且我不需要寻找某种特定的方式来成为公主。A. room房间；B. size尺寸；C. hand手；D. pack纸包。分析语境“a princess dress（一件公主礼服）”可知，对应的应是B项“size（尺寸）”，作者仍然很难找到符合自己尺寸的公主礼服。故选B项。

54. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我明白了，不管你长什么样子，你都可以成为公主。A. shared分享；B. heard听见；C. learned学会；D. requested要求。分析语境可知，后文“no matter what you look like, you can be a princess（不管你长什么样子，你都可以成为公主）”是作者通过这个经历所学到的生活哲理。故选C项。
55. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是一种精神状态。A. wealth财富；B. shock震惊；C. health健康；D. mind精神。根据前文作者的认知“I’ve ____14___ that no matter what you look like, you can be a princess. A princess isn’t a size.（我明白了，不管你长什么样子，你都可以成为公主。公主不是尺码的问题）”可知，“瘦”或“漂亮”不是成为公主的标准，而是一种精神。故选D项。

Dear Jim,
I am really sorry to know that you have been suffering from poor health these days. In response to your request in the last letter, I am glad to offer my advice.
First of all, a balanced diet is of prime importance, considering how obsessed you are with sweet food. It is urgent that you eat more fresh vegetables and fruit and avoid food high in fat and sugar. Besides, daily exercise is equally important. Stick to it, and you will definitely get in better shape. Furthermore, it is said that you will have a healthier heart with at least 7 hours of sleep every night. So, do get enough sleep! One more thing: stay positive and smile more.
I do hope my advice will be of practical help to you. I’m looking forward to your recovery.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap(包裹) the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, from Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby’s house, explaining I was officially one of the Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, dashing for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded on his doorbell and then I hid in the car with my grandma.
Paragraph2:
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. Finally, it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he glanced around and looked quite astonished. Seconds later, he called his mother to go out for a check. Hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Clause, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that moment, I even made up my mind to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that a person who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas present under the tree.
