W：Oh，hey Mike.Did you go to the gym? Sam said he was going and wanted to go to that new restaurant with you afterwards.
M：I saw him at the gym，but I wasn’t hungry afterwards.So，we decided to go to the movies instead.
Text 2
M：Why were you talking to that guy just now? He looks kind of strange.
W：Oh，the guy in the hat? That’s my professor.I was just asking him about our test tomorrow.
M：OK.It looked like you were giving money to a homeless guy for a second.
Text 3
W：Remember I told you about Bill，the guy I work for? I heard that they want to fire him.
M：I told you that guy was nothing but trouble.You should stay away from him.
W：I’m his secretary.It’s my job to be with him.Besides，he isn’t that bad and he’s funny.
Text 4
W：Hey，Joe! We’re all going over to the hospital to meet Wanda.We’re going to stop at the store first to buy some flowers.
M：Oh，right.It’s her last day and there is a surprise party for her.I have to drop some stuff off at home，but then I’ll head right over.
Text 5
M：I need to take a shower.I was working in the garden all day today，and I’m really dirty.
W：Well，I’m going to wash the dog first.You will have to wait.
M：Oh，I’ll watch TV for a while then...
Text 6
M：Would you mind logging in to our game and helping me with this mission?
W：Sure.Just give me a second to turn on my computer.Which mission are you having trouble with？The one with the snake?
M：That one was a piece of cake，but not as easy as the water one.I’m trying to do the one with the trees now.
W：Oh，yeah.That one isn’t much fun，but you have to do it to go to the next level.
M：Yeah.I did the tower mission yesterday.That was the hardest one.
Text 7
W：You’re up early.What are you doing?
M：I was just watching the sun come up.Charlie and Pat are taking the boat out to go fishing.We’ll have some fresh fish this afternoon.
W：I was talking to Pat yesterday，and she said that they were going to take a trip to the island today.I didn’t know they were going to go fishing.
M：Oh，I just guessed they were fishing because they took the boat out.But if they go to the island，they might bring back some crab.
W：That would be really great！I haven’t had crab for a long time.
M：Do you think I should call her and ask?
W：Sure.That way，we could find out what’s for dinner.
Text 8
W：Hi，Brian.Want some chips?
M：No，thanks，Jenny.I’m not really hungry.I’ll just wait for dinner.
W：Oh，speaking of which...what’s for dinner?
M：I don’t know.It’s Mason’s turn to cook.So，we’ll probably have something spicy.
W：He is a really good cook，but I’m not in the mood for spicy food.Maybe I’ll go out tonight.
M：Oh? Where are you thinking of going?
W：I’m not sure...maybe that new sandwich shop on Oak Street.I heard they had a special on Tuesdays：buy one，get one for half price.
M：Wow，it sounds like you could use some company.
W：Yeah，let’s go.Let me guess...you’ll have a ham and cheese sandwich with bacon，lettuce，and tomato.
M：Sounds good，but no tomato.
W：Really? I love tomatoes.And a sandwich just isn’t a sandwich without hot peppers.
M：Hot peppers？No，thanks.Hey，I thought you said you weren’t in the mood for spicy food!
Text 9
W：What do you want to do tonight? There are a few movies I’d like to go to see.
M：I think Hugo’s band is playing tonight.I got a text about it yesterday.Let me check.
W：Sure.
M：Here it is.Oh，no.They are playing tomorrow night at the Coal Club.Do you want to go?
W：Of course! I love Hugo’s band.
M：I’ll order two tickets online.Wow，it says here that they’re $50 each.
W：Really? Why are they so expensive? His shows are usually free.
M：Yeah，but it says that there are five bands and that you get a free drink and a free shirt.And all the money from the ticket sales is going to go to a children’s charity.
W：Oh，that makes sense，then.Hugo told me a few weeks ago that they were going to play at a special charity event.
M：So，do you still want me to order the tickets?
W：Yeah，sure.It’s for a good cause.
M：That still leaves us with nothing to do tonight.
W：Let’s play a game and stay in.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Do you have cold feet in winter？But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots，you won’t be troubled by that.
UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots.UGG boots became popular among shearers(剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep，wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”．Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers’ Ugly Boots to UGG boots.Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.
UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet.The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable.UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes，yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.
Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.
We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer.In cold weather，the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat.In the heat of summer，the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat.UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.

B
For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life.I was a 30yearold lawyer in New York.But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life.I honestly wanted to be a writer.I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head.But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.
Recently，I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p．m.and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again.The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something，but I start to drown and have no control over my body.Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel.Then I hear a voice say repeatedly，“Now is the time to try something new！”
It wasn’t just a dream；it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life.That afternoon，I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30，and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life.I started to write and have been on the bestsellers list for the last two months.Things have definitely turned around.
Change is a good thing；it gives us an opportunity to take a chance.So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”．

Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain？They are mouse hunters.The post office has actually employed cats since 1868.They are not employed to sort or deliver mail，of course，but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control.They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.
London post offices were the first to try out the experiment.Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply.Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well.Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day.Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.
Some of the hardworking cats have become quite famous.In 1980，a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own.As the two burglars made their way in through the window，Lucky started an attack and they fled emptyhanded.Another excellent cat was Jerry，of Earls Court post office in London.He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day.He drove all the mice away.
However，there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past.With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings，post office cats are not always needed.But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen.According to the post office，there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍英国的邮局使用猫控制老鼠的数量，防止邮件被老鼠毁了。有些猫因为工作优秀而出名，虽然现在邮局不再需要猫了，但是这项服务还会继续。

A．help sort and deliver mails and papers
B．guard the building against thieves
C．keep mails and papers undamaged
D．search for certain dangers in mails
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They are not employed to sort or deliver mail，of course，but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control.They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.”可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了防止邮件和报纸被老鼠破坏。故选C。
29．The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”．
A．decreased B．increased
C．narrowed D．expanded
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control(而是用来保护邮件和控制老鼠数量的)”可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了控制老鼠的数量，所以几个月后老鼠的数量减少了，shrunk＝decreased。故选A。
30．The cat named Lucky became famous because .
A．she served the post office for 16 years around the clock
B．she alone drove two burglars away from the post office
C．she protected mails from being bitten by mice
D．she was employed to sort and deliver mail
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句的内容可知，这只叫Lucky的猫是因为赶走了两个盗贼而出名的。故选B。

A．the duty of the cats has been replaced by machines
B．all the post offices are now completely mice free
C．cats are now considered of little use in post offices
D．cats will still be seen in service for quite a long time
答案 D

D
In the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.However，this may not be true in all countries.An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university.The twohour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a．m.and end at 12.On the first day，when the professor arrived on time，no one was in the classroom.Many students came after 10∶30 a．m.Two students came after 11 a．m.Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized for their lateness.Were these students being rude？He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class，respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react.If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university，students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast，in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class，only a few students left the class at 12∶00；many remained past 12∶30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil，neither is staying late.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章通过美国学生和巴西学生对待迟到的不同理解和做法，说明了准时的重要性因文化而异。
32．The underlined word “punctual” in Para.1 most probably means “ ”．
A．leaving soon after class
B．coming early
C．arriving a few minutes late
D．being on time
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“In the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.”可知，美国人很看重约会、上课、开会准时。or前后是相同的意思，是两种不同的说法。所以punctual和be on time同义。故选D。
33．Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?
A．He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.
B．He felt angry at the students’ rudeness.
C．He wanted to make the students come on time later.
D．He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段的叙述：原约定时间是10点到12点的课，10点时竟然没有巴西学生，许多学生10点半到，甚至还有两个11点后到。来晚的学生只是和教授打招呼，很少有人因迟到而道歉。教授对此感到不解，所以决定研究学生们的行为。故选A。
34．It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that .
A．American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late
B．neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings
C．being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another culture
D．Brazilian students will not come thirtythree minutes after the agreed time
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段的例子“Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized for their lateness.”和第二段的“...the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.”可知，在美国被认为迟到的事在巴西却并不被认为是无礼的。故选C。
35．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．It is important to be on time for class in the United States.
B．The importance of being on time differs among cultures.
C．People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.
D．Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。本文通过美国人眼中巴西学生对准时的表现，及对此现象的调查，说明美国人和巴西人对待迟到的理解和做法不同，说明准时的重要性因文化而异。故选B。
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。
When we think about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，a pinnacle(顶点) of sheer(纯粹的) delight.And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
36 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods，getting a speaking part in the school play.Of course，kids also experience lows，but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
For teenagers，or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 37 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth，love，marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 38 For adults，happiness is complex.
39 But I think a better definition of happiness is “the ability to enjoy something”．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved，the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，even good health.While happiness may be more complex for us，the solution is the same as ever.Happiness isn’t about what happens to us；it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative，and view a difficulty as a challenge. 40
A．Love may not last；loved ones die.
B．For a child，happiness has a magic quality.
C．Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
D．Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.
E．The dictionary defines “happy”as “lucky”or “fortunate”．
F．It’s not wishing for what we don’t have，but enjoying what we do possess.
G．Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement，love，and popularity.
语篇解读 本文属于说明文，作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。
36．答案 B
解析 根据后文中的“kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved”可知，此处是说小孩子的幸福，结合选项可推出B项符合语境。
37．答案 G
解析 根据后文内容“我至今还能感受到没有被邀请参加一个几乎人人都参加的聚会的痛苦。我还记得在另一个活动中被邀请与一位非常英俊的年轻人跳舞时的快乐”可推断，对青少年来说，幸福是有条件的，比如兴奋、爱情和受欢迎程度。故选G项。
38．答案 A
解析 根据空前的“also bring responsibility and the risk of loss”可知，A项“爱情也许不会长久；所爱的人会死亡”符合此处语境。
39．答案 E
解析 后文中的definition对应E项中的define，结合句意可知，E项符合语境。
40．答案 F
解析 根据上文中的“Happiness isn’t about...it’s the ability to...”可知，F项“It’s not wishing for...”继续说明幸福的含义。故选F项。

语篇解读 本文为记叙文。文章讲述了一群孩子对一位母亲的珠宝盒很感兴趣。一天，孩子们问她珠宝盒里装的是什么。看着孩子们急切的眼睛，母亲揭开了秘密。原来盒子里装的不是珠宝等贵重的物品，而是装着爱、欢乐、和平、感恩和信仰的感觉，这种宝盒每个人都有一个。

Classical Chinese garden design aims to create a natural landscape on a small scale and emphasize the perfect harmony between man and nature.
A Chinese garden is like a scroll(卷轴) painting，56. (show) a series of carefully composed scenes.New views are revealed as one walks along the pathways.In the gardens,57.
most frequently meets the eye are winding paths that seemingly lead to nowhere.There，a path seems to end，but all of 58. sudden，a new world is rolled out before you: pavilions(亭子)，rock formations，spring waters—all combined to provide a pleasant surprise! At the 59.
(enter) to a Chinese garden，there is usually a huge stone or wall 60. (use) to screen your view so as to later produce unimaginable delight when you turn around the wall.A Chinese garden may have windows on all 61. (it) four walls.And it is 62. (interest) that，through the windows，visitors may see different views at different angles，and thus the composition of the garden becomes enlarged.
A Chinese garden is where culture is both created and enjoyed.All plants mark the shift of the 63. (season).64. (similar)，water，a symbol of the everchanging,65.
rocks，a symbol of the eternal(永恒的)，create a harmonious balance of nature’s yin and yang.
56．答案 showing
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，本句中的show在句子可作定语，修饰主语painting，二者是主动关系，故用showing。
57．答案 what
解析 考查名词性从句。分析句子可知，主语从句中缺少主语，指物，故填what。
58．答案 a
解析 考查固定搭配。all of a sudden为固定搭配，意为“突然地，出乎意料地”，故填a。
59．答案 entrance/entry
解析 考查名词。分析句子可知，设空处前有定冠词the，在英语中the修饰的是名词，故要用enter的名词形式entrance/entry。
60．答案 used
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意为：在一个中国花园的入口处，通常有一块巨大的石头或墙用来遮挡你的视线。分析句子可知，stone or wall与use之间是被动关系，故填used。
61．答案 its
解析 考查代词。分析句子可知，本句是指墙自身有窗户，故填its(它的)。
62．答案 interesting
解析 考查形容词。本句是常用句式：It is ＋adj.＋that从句。interest是名词，所以用其形容词形式 interesting。
63．答案 seasons
解析 考查名词的复数。一年有四季，故季节要用复数形式seasons。
64．答案 Similarly
解析 考查副词。修饰整个句子用副词，故把similar改为similarly，注意首字母要大写。
65．答案 and
解析 考查连词。句意为：同样地，水是千变万化的象征，岩石是永恒的象征，它们创造了自然界阴阳的和谐。分析句子可知，“水”和“岩石”二者是并列的主语，所以要填and。

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。
Christmas was hanging around.Sixyearold David was thinking what presents he could get from Santa.He wanted slippers；he wanted a silk tie；he wanted some toys.And school starting soon，he also hoped to get something about schooling.In order to get Santa to know what he needed，he thought he would write a letter to Santa，which he believed would bring him those presents.He found a sheet and made a list of the items on it，and then bent down to post the letter up the chimney，waiting for the winds to take it up.
David got up very early on the Christmas morning.He searched his room carefully，but to his disappointment，he didn’t find the presents he hoped for.Hadn’t Santa received the letter？Was he too busy to send him the gifts？Although feeling a little upset，David was convinced that Santa would not forget him and he was bound to receive the items.
Many years had passed and 2020 came.In an old house，a young builder，Lewis Shaw was removing the fireplace with his colleagues when he suddenly found a small piece of paper，which was still in perfect condition even if it had turned yellow.He picked it up and unfolded it.It was a letter written to Santa.The touching handwritten note read：
Dear Father Christmas，
Please can you send me a drum，box of chalks，slippers，silk tie，pencil box，any little toys you have to spare?
Love，
David
It was then signed off with lots of kisses.
This was the very letter written by David and the house was where he had lived during his childhood! The letter struck Shaw so much.How simple Christmas once was! David didn’t ask for much，just the things he just needed.Nowadays kids always wanted expensive gifts and took it for granted.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.
A great surprise was on the way.
参考范文
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.He shared a photo of the note on Facebook.He also spoke to the neighbors on both sides of the house.Within two days he connected David，the now 78yearold man living in a town nearby.They met at the old house，where Shaw returned him the letter.What a great surprise it was that he could read the letter again so many years after he wrote it!
A great surprise was on the way.After a pleasant chat，Shaw handed David a box.Inside it found David all the presents he had listed in the letter.In fact，it had taken Shaw much time to collect these presents.He didn’t even know Rupert Annual was a magazine for children before he was able to get one.David was quite excited—he finally had his Christmas wishes fulfilled!

Do you have cold feet in winter？But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots，you won’t be troubled by that.
UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots.UGG boots became popular among shearers(剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep，wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”．Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers’ Ugly Boots to UGG boots.Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.
UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet.The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable.UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes，yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.
Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.
We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer.In cold weather，the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat.In the heat of summer，the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat.UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.

For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life.I was a 30yearold lawyer in New York.But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life.I honestly wanted to be a writer.I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head.But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.
Recently，I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p．m.and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again.The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something，but I start to drown and have no control over my body.Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel.Then I hear a voice say repeatedly，“Now is the time to try something new！”
It wasn’t just a dream；it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life.That afternoon，I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30，and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life.I started to write and have been on the bestsellers list for the last two months.Things have definitely turned around.
Change is a good thing；it gives us an opportunity to take a chance.So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”．

Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain？They are mouse hunters.The post office has actually employed cats since 1868.They are not employed to sort or deliver mail，of course，but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control.They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.
London post offices were the first to try out the experiment.Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply.Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well.Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day.Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.
Some of the hardworking cats have become quite famous.In 1980，a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own.As the two burglars made their way in through the window，Lucky started an attack and they fled emptyhanded.Another excellent cat was Jerry，of Earls Court post office in London.He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day.He drove all the mice away.
However，there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past.With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings，post office cats are not always needed.But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen.According to the post office，there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.

答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They are not employed to sort or deliver mail，of course，but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control.They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.”可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了防止邮件和报纸被老鼠破坏。故选C。
29．The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”．
A．decreased B．increased
C．narrowed D．expanded
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control(而是用来保护邮件和控制老鼠数量的)”可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了控制老鼠的数量，所以几个月后老鼠的数量减少了，shrunk＝decreased。故选A。
30．The cat named Lucky became famous because .
A．she served the post office for 16 years around the clock
B．she alone drove two burglars away from the post office
C．she protected mails from being bitten by mice
D．she was employed to sort and deliver mail
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句的内容可知，这只叫Lucky的猫是因为赶走了两个盗贼而出名的。故选B。
31．We may learn from the last paragraph that .
A．the duty of the cats has been replaced by machines
B．all the post offices are now completely mice free
C．cats are now considered of little use in post offices
D．cats will still be seen in service for quite a long time
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“但许多邮局仍然雇用它们，它们成了邮递员的好朋友。据邮局表示，在可预见的将来，它们没有停止服务的计划”可知，邮局会在很长时间内使用猫。故选D。
D
In the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.However，this may not be true in all countries.An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university.The twohour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a．m.and end at 12.On the first day，when the professor arrived on time，no one was in the classroom.Many students came after 10∶30 a．m.Two students came after 11 a．m.Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized for their lateness.Were these students being rude？He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class，respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react.If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university，students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast，in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class，only a few students left the class at 12∶00；many remained past 12∶30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil，neither is staying late.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章通过美国学生和巴西学生对待迟到的不同理解和做法，说明了准时的重要性因文化而异。
32．The underlined word “punctual” in Para.1 most probably means “ ”．
A．leaving soon after class
B．coming early
C．arriving a few minutes late
D．being on time
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“In the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.”可知，美国人很看重约会、上课、开会准时。or前后是相同的意思，是两种不同的说法。所以punctual和be on time同义。故选D。
33．Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?
A．He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.
B．He felt angry at the students’ rudeness.
C．He wanted to make the students come on time later.
D．He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段的叙述：原约定时间是10点到12点的课，10点时竟然没有巴西学生，许多学生10点半到，甚至还有两个11点后到。来晚的学生只是和教授打招呼，很少有人因迟到而道歉。教授对此感到不解，所以决定研究学生们的行为。故选A。
34．It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that .
A．American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late
B．neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings
C．being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another culture
D．Brazilian students will not come thirtythree minutes after the agreed time
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段的例子“Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized for their lateness.”和第二段的“...the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.”可知，在美国被认为迟到的事在巴西却并不被认为是无礼的。故选C。
35．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．It is important to be on time for class in the United States.
B．The importance of being on time differs among cultures.
C．People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.
D．Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。本文通过美国人眼中巴西学生对准时的表现，及对此现象的调查，说明美国人和巴西人对待迟到的理解和做法不同，说明准时的重要性因文化而异。故选B。
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。
When we think about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，a pinnacle(顶点) of sheer(纯粹的) delight.And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
36 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods，getting a speaking part in the school play.Of course，kids also experience lows，but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
For teenagers，or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 37 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth，love，marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 38 For adults，happiness is complex.
39 But I think a better definition of happiness is “the ability to enjoy something”．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved，the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，even good health.While happiness may be more complex for us，the solution is the same as ever.Happiness isn’t about what happens to us；it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative，and view a difficulty as a challenge. 40
A．Love may not last；loved ones die.
B．For a child，happiness has a magic quality.
C．Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
D．Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.
E．The dictionary defines “happy”as “lucky”or “fortunate”．
F．It’s not wishing for what we don’t have，but enjoying what we do possess.
G．Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement，love，and popularity.
语篇解读 本文属于说明文，作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。
36．答案 B
解析 根据后文中的“kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved”可知，此处是说小孩子的幸福，结合选项可推出B项符合语境。
37．答案 G
解析 根据后文内容“我至今还能感受到没有被邀请参加一个几乎人人都参加的聚会的痛苦。我还记得在另一个活动中被邀请与一位非常英俊的年轻人跳舞时的快乐”可推断，对青少年来说，幸福是有条件的，比如兴奋、爱情和受欢迎程度。故选G项。
38．答案 A
解析 根据空前的“also bring responsibility and the risk of loss”可知，A项“爱情也许不会长久；所爱的人会死亡”符合此处语境。
39．答案 E
解析 后文中的definition对应E项中的define，结合句意可知，E项符合语境。
40．答案 F
解析 根据上文中的“Happiness isn’t about...it’s the ability to...”可知，F项“It’s not wishing for...”继续说明幸福的含义。故选F项。

rocks，a symbol of the eternal(永恒的)，create a harmonious balance of nature’s yin and yang.

57．答案 what
解析 考查名词性从句。分析句子可知，主语从句中缺少主语，指物，故填what。
58．答案 a
解析 考查固定搭配。all of a sudden为固定搭配，意为“突然地，出乎意料地”，故填a。
59．答案 entrance/entry

60．答案 used

62．答案 interesting

64．答案 Similarly
解析 考查副词。修饰整个句子用副词，故把similar改为similarly，注意首字母要大写。
65．答案 and
解析 考查连词。句意为：同样地，水是千变万化的象征，岩石是永恒的象征，它们创造了自然界阴阳的和谐。分析句子可知，“水”和“岩石”二者是并列的主语，所以要填and。

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。
Christmas was hanging around.Sixyearold David was thinking what presents he could get from Santa.He wanted slippers；he wanted a silk tie；he wanted some toys.And school starting soon，he also hoped to get something about schooling.In order to get Santa to know what he needed，he thought he would write a letter to Santa，which he believed would bring him those presents.He found a sheet and made a list of the items on it，and then bent down to post the letter up the chimney，waiting for the winds to take it up.
David got up very early on the Christmas morning.He searched his room carefully，but to his disappointment，he didn’t find the presents he hoped for.Hadn’t Santa received the letter？Was he too busy to send him the gifts？Although feeling a little upset，David was convinced that Santa would not forget him and he was bound to receive the items.
Many years had passed and 2020 came.In an old house，a young builder，Lewis Shaw was removing the fireplace with his colleagues when he suddenly found a small piece of paper，which was still in perfect condition even if it had turned yellow.He picked it up and unfolded it.It was a letter written to Santa.The touching handwritten note read：
Dear Father Christmas，
Please can you send me a drum，box of chalks，slippers，silk tie，pencil box，any little toys you have to spare?
Love，
David
It was then signed off with lots of kisses.
This was the very letter written by David and the house was where he had lived during his childhood! The letter struck Shaw so much.How simple Christmas once was! David didn’t ask for much，just the things he just needed.Nowadays kids always wanted expensive gifts and took it for granted.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.
A great surprise was on the way.
参考范文
Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.He shared a photo of the note on Facebook.He also spoke to the neighbors on both sides of the house.Within two days he connected David，the now 78yearold man living in a town nearby.They met at the old house，where Shaw returned him the letter.What a great surprise it was that he could read the letter again so many years after he wrote it!
A great surprise was on the way.After a pleasant chat，Shaw handed David a box.Inside it found David all the presents he had listed in the letter.In fact，it had taken Shaw much time to collect these presents.He didn’t even know Rupert Annual was a magazine for children before he was able to get one.David was quite excited—he finally had his Christmas wishes fulfilled!
