As we close out the final days of this year, treat yourself to a deliciously distracting new book — a book that you can dip into throughout the holidays. Read up, rest up, and enjoy yourself.

Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond

Mindfulness Activities for Kids

We could all use a little more peace in our lives. Uniquely suited for children and parents to do together, the 40 mindfulness exercises recommended here — from pausing to fully enjoy a tasty sandwich to taking a walk together — will not only teach children calm and gratitude, but also bring grown­ups and their children closer together.

Before She Disappeared

Frankie Elkin is a recovering alcoholic who devotes her time to solving cold cases, especially those involving people of colour. A new investigation brings her to Boston, searching for a Haitian teenager who disappeared months ago. But as Frankie starts asking questions, someone else will stop at nothing to keep the answers hidden.

Oak Flat

Lauren Redniss' OakFlat tells the story of the land near the San Carlos Reservation through an Apache family fighting to protect the land, which the US government and two world­power mining enterprises are attempting to seize and destroy for its copper resources.

My kid's new school is a construction area now. Even though the new building is very exciting, in the meantime there is no real playground for all the kids to use. They just run around the front of the school during the lunch break.

This gets me thinking about starting a book club for the upper elementary kids to meet in during lunch. This idea has the added benefit of giving my very shy daughter a chance to make some connections with other kids who like books as much as she does.

This is how I'm starting our book club. After getting permission from the principal and finding a space in the school to hold our meetings, I'll send out a flier (传单) in our Friday school notes with my contact information. At our first meeting we'll think of a name for our book club and decide together on the first two books we will read.

I absolutely love the idea of a mother­daughter book club. The reason is that my friend, mother of a teenage daughter, told me she always tried to befriend all the mothers of her daughter's friends. As a group they're better able to know what the girls are doing.

Now that my daughter is in the fourth grade and we're at a new school, I'm feeling especially drawn to start forming relationships with the mothers of her friends. A book club seems like a good way to do that with the added benefit of getting to open up communication between daughters and mothers, because in a few years a lot of our daughters won't really want to talk to us.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者建立读书俱乐部的计划并借此告诉读者：读书俱乐部可以充当父母与父母、父母与孩子、孩子与孩子之间沟通交流的桥梁。

A．Her daughter is too shy.

5．What is the added benefit of starting a book club for the author?

A．Improving her daughter's grades.

B．Helping her daughter communicate with others.

C．Making her daughter love reading.

D．Keeping her daughter busy with her homework.

6．Why does the author claim she likes a mother­daughter club?

A．The club will attract more students to read.

B．Her daughter can make more good friends.

C．It's easy for her to get to know her daughter better.

D．Her daughter likes to communicate with more people.

解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“As a group they're better able to know what the girls are doing.”可知，作者喜欢母女读书俱乐部是因为自己可以更好地了解女儿的动向。

7．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To share a valuable plan.

People_seldom_feel_neutral_about_poetry. Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and love.It isn't.Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent (等价的) for life itself and its human experiences.Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing.That's not true either.It is easy to become frustrated by words — in poetry or in life — but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important.Poetry is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.

One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings.Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think.Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most outstanding values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures (俘获) exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader.No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well.”Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.

8．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that ________.

A．many people think that poetry is neutral

B．people always differ in their views about poetry

C．people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry

D．people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless

解析：选D　句意理解题。画线句是第一段的主题句，由下文所陈述的人们对诗歌的态度可知，一般来说，人们要么认为诗歌非常重要，要么认为诗歌完全无用。

9．According to the author, poetry ________.

A．is more than just words

B．is the poets' feelings about words

C．is anything but patterns of lines

D．is an experiment on the use of words

解析：选A　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，诗歌不仅是一种语言，通过读诗也可以收获很多。

10．What does poetry try to express?

A．What love and death mean.

B．What people think about themselves.

C．What people feel but find it hard to describe.

D．How people go through life.

解析：选C　推理判断题。由第二段第三句中的“to express the inexpressible”可知，诗歌可以表达难以表达的感情。

11．What is this passage mainly about?

A．The structure of poetry.

B．The nature and importance of poetry.

C．The components of poetry.

D．The appreciation of poetry.

解析：选B　主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章主要讲述了诗歌的本质及其重要性。

D

American researchers say they have found the strongest link yet between ozone pollution and damage to health.Their findings show that short­term increases in ozone lead to higher death rates in cities.

Ozone is a form of oxygen. The gas is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere to protect the Earth against radiation from the sun. But human activities can also create ozone in the lower atmosphere. Gases from vehicles and industry react with sunlight to form this ozone. Levels usually increase in the warmer months. Ozone is the main chemical in smog, the air pollution that is a combination of fog and smoke.

Ozone has been linked to heart and lung problems especially, and to higher rates of hospital cases. Researchers from Yale University and Johns Hopkins University did the study. Michelle Bell of Yale was the lead researcher. TheJournaloftheAmericanMedicalAssociation published the results.The researchers collected information on 95 American cities. These contain about 40% of the national population. The study compared death rates to ozone levels between 1987 and 2000. The research suggests that even a small increase in ozone, ten parts per thousand million, can lead to higher death rates the following week. The study found that the average daily number of deaths rose 0.5 percent. Heart and lung related deaths rose 0.6 percent. And deaths among older people rose 0.7 percent.

The study is one of the largest ever done of ozone and death rates. The researchers note that ozone is widespread in the United States and many other countries.The United States Environmental Protection Agency is re­examining its air pollution rules. The current limit for ozone is eighty parts per thousand million for an eight­hour period. Limits were higher in the past. But the researchers say they found an increase in deaths even below the current levels.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了臭氧的短期增加会导致城市中人群的高死亡率。

12．What can we know about the smog from Paragraph 2?

A．It is made up of water.

B．It can make the air clean.

C．Ozone is only a small part in it.

D．It is polluted air including fog and smoke.

解析：选D　 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Ozone is the main chemical in smog, the air pollution that is a combination of fog and smoke.”可知，雾霾是包含雾和烟的被污染的空气。

13．What can we learn from the study?

A．The study placed the time between 1987 and 2000.

B．The old are easier to suffer from an increase in ozone.

C．The collected information is from 40% of American cities.

D．A small increase in ozone can't cause higher death rates.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And deaths among older people rose 0.7 percent.”可知，研究发现老年人更容易受到臭氧增加的影响。

14．What can we infer from the passage?

A．The present ozone level in America is safe for people.

B．There is no direct connection between ozone and death rates.

C．The study of ozone and death rates has been done several times.

D．America has a worse problem with ozone than other countries.

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The study is one of the largest ever done of ozone and death rates.”可推知，关于臭氧和死亡率的研究已经做了好几次了。

15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Is ozone linked to heart and lung problems?

B．Can ozone levels cause environment to go worse and worse?

C．How can death rate be reduced by protecting environment?

D．What is the connection between death rates and ozone levels?

解析：选D　标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合全文内容可知，一项研究发现，臭氧的短期增加会导致城市中人群的高死亡率。故D选项“死亡率和臭氧水平之间有什么联系？”最适合作文章标题。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

So, You Want to Be a Writer?

What are some tips on becoming a writer?

Read everything you can. Most writers are good readers. They read because they love to lose themselves in books. They like the sounds of languages and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as winning a race or eating really good food. __16__ Do you like stories that are fast­paced and full of unexpected twists? Do you prefer to read books with characters who seem like someone you might know? Do you like to feel scared or do you like a story that makes you laugh until you cry? Think about the types of writing you like best, and try to identify the qualities that attract you.

__17__ It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not record it immediately. If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafeteria or waiting for the bus, something might give you an idea for a character or a scene in a story. You might have a dream you don't want to forget, or you might just write down the lyrics of a song you love. __18__

Do your homework. If you decide that you would like to submit your work for publication, make sure you do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues. __19__ If you are submitting to a book publisher, explore their website to make sure your material is similar to (but not exactly the same as) other books they publish.

Stay positive. A writer's life can be frustrating. Sometimes it's hard to sit down and write. __20__ This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.

A．Talk to friends.

B．Keep a notebook.

C．As you read, pay attention to what speaks to you.

D．You may get many refusals before you receive a single acceptance.

E．Does it seem like your writing fits in with other stories or articles?

F．These everyday thoughts and observations can be material for your writing one day.

G．Writing is a good way to clear your mind and make room for more of the “good stuff”．

16．解析：选C　根据空处所在段落的小标题“Read everything you can”可知，文章给的第一个建议与阅读有关，只有选项C出现了read“阅读”，故选C项。

17．解析：选B　空处为标题句，根据下文“If you get into the habit of carrying a notebook or journal ...”可知，选项B(带一个笔记本)切题。

18．解析：选F　根据空处上文“you can write down anything you want to remember”可知，本段的建议是积累所思及所看，选项F总结了为什么要有一个笔记本，切题。

19．解析：选E　根据空前“If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old issues.”和空后“If you are submitting to a book publisher ... they publish.”可知，空处应该介绍投稿时需要注意的事情，故选项E承上启下，切题。

20．解析：选D　根据下文“This is why perseverance is an important quality for a writer to have.”可知，“This”指代空处的句子，因此D项(在你被接受之前，你可能会遭到多次拒绝)符合语境，承接下文“这就是为什么毅力是作家的重要品质的”。

He thought about last weekend. That __21__ Friday, he and his daughter watched the prints (脚印) of birds in the __22__. When the snow relented (减弱), Esme insisted they go out, so they bought a plastic sled (雪橇) and drove out to the hill. He __23__ her sail down the hill quickly with big laughter time after time. Then she said “let's build a snowman” and they worked __24__， making a great ball of snow around the bottom of the hill, and a small one for the head. He __25__ his hat and Esme made a face from branches. When they had finished she __26__ the hat to a better angle, then __27__ its belly.

“Looks like you, Dad.”

__28__ the noise of the plane's engine, he __29__ how, as they were leaving, he turned and saw the swathe (一长条田地) of grass they had exposed all round the snowman.

He stared out at the vast fields of clouds. By now the snowman would have melted. Maybe someone walking there might see a __30__ and a pile of branches. They might __31__ about who left them there and why.

第二节(满分25分)

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。

The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored with everything associated with English courses. I hated it when the assignments (任务分配) turned out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony (痛苦) for teachers to read and for me to write.

When our class was assigned to Mr Smith for third­year English, I saw another cheerless year. Mr Smith had a reputation among us for dullness and inability to inspire students.

I prepared for a fruitless year with Mr Smith and for a long time was not disappointed. Late in the year we dealt with the informal essay. Mr Smith distributed a homework sheet offering us a choice for topics. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eyes stopped was “The Art of Eating Spaghetti (意大利面)”．

This title produced an extraordinary series of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back to a night when all of us were seated around the supper table — Uncle Allen, my mother, Doris — and Aunt Pat served spaghetti  for supper. Spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. All the good humor of Uncle Allen's house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from the plate to our mouth.

Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr Smith. The next morning I turned in my essay.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 1：

Twodayslaterinclass, MrSmithreturnedeveryone'sgradedpaperexceptmine. 　

Paragraph 2：

IwastryingnottoshowmydelightatthedemonstrationwhenMrSmithwalkedover. 　

参考范文：

Paragraph 1：

Twodayslaterinclass, MrSmithreturnedeveryone'sgradedpaperexceptmine. A little bit embarrassed, I sank into my seat. Mr Smith must have been annoyed at my essay and he would order me to stay after school for punishment. At the thought of that, my heart sank. But then Mr Smith cleared his throat, signaled us to listen and started to read an essay. It was mine! TheArtofEatingSpaghetti! He read in high spirits, his voice, his hands and his mouth all joining in. And apparently all my classmates were amused. They laughed with open­hearted enjoyment. All the good humor of eating spaghetti woke in the class.

Paragraph 2：

IwastryingnottoshowmydelightatthedemonstrationwhenMrSmithwalkedover. He returned my essay and congratulated me. Then he encouraged my classmates to ask me more about the funny experience. Immediately, they gathered around me, asking me to act out the way I moved spaghetti from the plate to my mouth. With pleasure, I did it. Watching my awkwardness and clumsiness, they laughed themselves under the desk. So did I myself. “You are so humorous. You promise to be a good writer！” Mr Smith beamed. He did touch me! And he did inspire me to have taken writing seriously since my third year.
