“Have you checked the oil in the car, Ted?” my father used to say to me. Sometimes our phone calls would begin and end with an only inquiry(询问) about the oil, without asking anything else. Fathers have lots of love to give, but it’s often provided through useful advice. In my experience, it’s mostly about the car.
Why can’t fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you”? Why can’t the sentences “I care about you” and “You made my life better from the moment you were born” be heard? Because fathers tend to express their true feelings indirectly. You just have to understand the language—Fatherlish(父亲式语言).
When I was 17 years old, I went on my first road trip in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold early morning to say goodbye. “Roads are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try driving faster than a horse. And remember to take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time I thought his speech was pretty funny and old.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that if I had owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I would have understood that the speech that I always laughed at was simply Dad’s way to express love and care.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The author’s father expressed his love differently.
B. The author forgot to check the oil regularly.
C. The author wanted to buy a new car badly.
D. The author’s father preferred to make phone calls.
5. Why does the author mention his first road trip?
A. To show the danger of the trip. B. To tell a very exciting experience.
C. To explain the rules of driving. D. To present his father’s hidden love.
6. How does the author feel about his father’s speech at last?
A. Caring. B. Traditional. C. Funny. D. Old.

Chinese ancient poetry was the heart and soul of Chinese ancient literature. Poems and songs have been the means of entertainment of men from the earliest times. Chinese ancient poetry was primarily written to be chanted or sung.

A new study suggests some of America’s favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper (铜), which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors, and also damage human cells and animal lungs.
Led by researchers at NYU, the study showed poisonous levels of lead in the fireworks. Experiments showed that lung exposure to particle emissions (颗粒排放物) from five types of fireworks significantly increased oxidation (氧化), a chemical process in the body that can damage or even kill cells.
The researchers say the new study is believed to be the first to examine the effects of firework exposure in human cells and living animals, and to test for particles of common firework metals thrown into the atmosphere.
“While many are careful to protect themselves from injury from explosions, our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause, longer-term physical damage, a risk that has been largely ignored,” says study senior author Terry Gordon, a professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine.
Gordon and his team also analyzed 14 air quality samples taken at dozens of sites across the US throughout each year. They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year. Along with lead, copper and other poisonous metals are commonly found in fireworks. “Our research shows that although we are only exposed to these poisonous substances for a short time each year, they are much more poisonous than the pollutants we breathe every day,” says Gordon.
Gordon cautions (警告) that the current investigation is the first step, only addressing the potential effects of one-time exposure to the firework metals. He says repeated exposure is likely a larger concern. Nevertheless, he is planning to share his findings with local health officials, firework producers, the Environmental Protection Agent, and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.
12. Why do some fireworks harm our health?
A. They are oxidized in the air.
B. They can give out harmful metals.
C. They are exposed to particle emissions.
D. They can melt chemical substances in the body.
13. What does the underlined word “inhaling” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Letting out. B. Working out.
C. Taking in. D. Blowing off.
14. What can we infer from Gordon’s research findings?
A. Fireworks are the main cause of air pollution.
B. Air quality on New Year’s Eve is above normal.
C. People breathe in poisonous air for a short time daily.
D. Air pollution on Independence Day is worse than usual.
15. What does Gordon intend to do with fireworks-related persons?
A. Remind them not to set off fireworks.
B. Caution them against producing metals.
C. Alert them to the harm of the experiment.
D. Warn them of the possible dangers of fireworks.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项科学研究表明烟花燃烧释放出的金属元素会造成空气污染，也会损害人类和动物的健康，同时还存在其他潜在危害。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A new study suggests some of America’s favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper (铜), which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors, and also damage human cells and animal lungs.(一项新的研究表明，美国最受欢迎的一些独立日烟火会释放出铅和铜，这两种元素被用来使烟火呈现鲜艳的颜色，还会损害人体细胞和动物肺部)”可知，烟花对健康有害是因为燃放所释放的有害金属。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句“our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause, longer-term physical damage, a risk that has been largely ignored(我们的研究结果表明，吸入烟花的烟雾可能会造成长期的身体损害，这一风险在很大程度上被忽略了)”中的“smoke烟雾”可知，烟雾被吸入人体内才会造成伤害.由此推知，划线词inhaling表示“吸入”，与Taking in同义。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第二句“They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year.(他们发现，在独立日和新年前夕采集的样本中，有毒金属的含量比一年中其他任何时候都要高)”可推知，空气污染在独立日比平常更严重。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Nevertheless, he is planning to share his findings with local health officials, firework producers, the Environmental Protection Agent, and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.(然而，他计划将他的发现与当地卫生官员、烟花生产商、环境保护机构和其他监管机构分享，提醒他们烟花的潜在危害)”可知，Gordon准备将发现结果告知与烟花相关的人员，告诉他们烟花可能带来的危险。故选D。

Practise forming questions!
Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question.___20___So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film?” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.

【答案】Dear Harry,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on learning Chinese.
Chinese is one of the most ancient languages in the world, which is also one of the official languages of the United Nations. With the increasing growth of China’s economy, Chinese will play a more important part in international communication. Therefore, if you have a master of Chinese language, you will have more opportunities in the future.
As for suggestions, it is important to take a Chinese course, which will enable you to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Besides, it is also helpful to watch Chinese TV programs and read Chinese articles online whenever possible. In addition, it may be a good idea to learn classic Chinese songs.
Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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.
A little boy almost thought of himself as the unluckiest child in the world because poliomyelitis （小儿麻痹症）made him unable to walk like normal people. He seldom played with his classmates, and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.
One spring, the boy's father asked for some young trees from the neighbor. He wanted to plant them in the front of the house. He told his children to plant a tree each person. The father said to the children, "Whose tree grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift" The boy also wanted to get his father's gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, he had a terrible idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never attended to it.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn't die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, "from the tree you planted, you will become a great person when you grow up."
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2,请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
One day, the little boy lay on the bed, wondering why his tree can grow so well
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Since then, the little boy became different
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
One day, the little boy lay on bed, wondering why his tree can grow so well. he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants general grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle. All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly fertilizing his small tree! He returned to his room, tears running down his face without restraint.
Paragraph 2:
Since then, the little boy became different. Being strong and confident, he overcame all the difficulties he was faced with. Decades passed, he was elected President of the United States. His name was Franklin Roosevelt. Love is the best nourishment of life; even if it is just one ladleful of clear water, it can make the tree of life thrive. Maybe that tree is inconspicuous; perhaps that the tree is so thin, and even some withered, but as long as there is nourishment of love, it can flourish and even grow into towering trees.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Franklin Roosevelt在父亲的关爱下如何变得乐观的故事。爱是生命中最好的养料；即使只是一勺清水，它都能使生命之树茁壮成长。也许那棵树不够好，也许那棵树那么细，甚至有些脆弱，但只要有爱的滋养，它就可以很好地活跃起来，甚至长成参天大树。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一天，小男孩躺在床上，想知道为什么他的树能长得这么好。”可知，第一段可描写作者在晚上查看树生长的状态，发现父亲在为树施肥。
②由第二段首句内容“从此，小男孩变得不一样了。”可知，第二段可描写作者的变化，因为有爱的滋养，克服了很多困难，他最后取得了很大的成功，成为了美国总统。
2.续写线索：好奇——查看——感动——改变——成功——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①查看：check/figure out
②改变：change/be different
情绪类
①好奇：showing his curiosity/wonder
②感动：be moved/feel touched
【点睛】[高分句型1] he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants general grow at night. （由连接词what引导的宾语从句作recalled的宾语）
[高分句型2] Being strong and confident, he overcame all the difficulties he was faced with. （being现在分词作伴随状语）
