A
When you are about to go to a boarding school in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective, you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7: 00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.
Lessons:
Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, at 10: 40 am, you’ll have a short break. The next period of classes will include two more lessons.
Lunch:
Lunch is usually held around 12: 30 pm at the dining hall, where you’ll join your friends to enjoy a hot dish. After an hour of lunch, you’ll have three or four more lessons to attend.

At 5: 00 pm you will have finished your school lessons for the day. Most boarding schools in the UK offer their full boarders different kinds of hot meals to choose from.

Vincent Van Gogh
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until at the age of l6. He then left school and joined a " company of art business in the lager city. During the next seven years, van Gogh bought and sold pintings in the Netherlands, London, and Paris. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artworks was not his dream. He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing He believed that to a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That was when van Gogh developed a style that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three- dimensional. This quality makes people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas (帆布). while the stars glow with unearhly brightness. Each brushstroke(笔画) creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpseof the majesty (庄严） of the night sky。 The Starry Night displays the gift of van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful imagine with simple brush and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting, yet when go today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time, his influence is strong, many painters mimic his style and use of color.His artwork can be found in museums all over the world.
24.How did Van Gogh learn to paint
A by reading books about art B. By observed the world around him
C. by studying the works of greatest artists D. by equipping himself with basic skills.
25.Why did the author include the Starry Night in the passage ?
A. to express Van Gogh’s feelings about his art. B. to present Van Gogh’s respect for nature
C. to show Van Gogh’s style of painting. D. .to praise Van Gogh’s ability
26.What did the author seem to admire most about Van Gogh’s paintings?
A. image B. light C. theme D. brushwork.
27.What does the underlined word “mimic” in the last paragraph mean ?
A. copy B. teach C. change D. create.
C
Despite the fact that there has never been so much wealth or so many wealthy people in the world, many of the world’s poor people still live in material and energy poverty. Could you and I cut back on our consumption (消耗) so as to make some space for others to increase theirs?
I am sure we could. But, unfortunately, everything about our economic systems is set up to make us believe and behave otherwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nothing wrong with wanting ever newer and more expensive things as long as we can afford them.
Look around you for a moment. No society anywhere before lived like this. Further, since our spending must necessarily be someone else’s income, we tell ourselves that we actually make the world a better place every time we buy another pair of shoes or trade in a car for the latest model. And that’s the tug (拉) of war that plays itself out cruelly in our lives, as one side of our age cries out “less”, and from the other side comes the answering cry “more”.
Of course, wanting to live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we would never have generated the progress that has brought us to our present station.
But now we should think deeply about how and why we consume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the history of economic—including Adam Smith—thought, having more does not always translate into being happier. Evidence shows that many people in the developing world, despite being hard-up, report being just as happy as those in the materially rich societies of the West.
So what now? The answer, perhaps, is to try to be rich in the enjoyment of things, not in the accumulation (堆积) of them. A pair of good shoes, lightly creased (起皱) but also carefully polished (擦亮) once a month; a meal cooked at home instead of a trip to McDonald’s—such as these lie our act of saving from the virus of compulsive (强迫性的) consumption.
28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. People tend to buy things unreasonably.
B. People refuse to cut down on consumption.
C. People all face material and energy poverty.
D. People believe in political and economic systems.
29. What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Held. B. Rooted. C. Changed. D. Possessed.
30. What does the author suggest?
A. Trying to be rich. B. The more, the better.
C. Enjoying what we have. D. Focusing on the compulsive(难控制的）consumption.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Economy.
D
For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help lessen the effects of a warmer world. Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behavior. In a paper published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a professor in Australia, shows that is already happening. In some species of Australian parrot, for instance beak(喙) size has increased by between 4% and 10%since 1871. Similar trends are seen in species of mice and bats growing bigger ears, tails, legs and wings.
All that fits nicely with evolutionary(进化的) theory. “Allen’s rule”, named after Joe Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger appendages(附加物) than those in mild areas. Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body volume, helping it to get rid of additional heal. Fennec foxes, meanwhile, which are native to the Sahara desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared with their Arctic cousins.
Ryding’s team combined data from different species in different places. Now that they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, climate change is the most reasonable explanation. Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs, it is unclear how far the process might go. Bigger beaks might interfere with feeding, for instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.
Honestly, studying a broader range of animals will help firm up exactly what is happening. For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%. That may change as warming accelerates. Every little bit of avoided future temperature increases results in less warming that would otherwise slay for essentially forever.
32. Why do some species grow bigger parts of their body?
A. They are following the new trends. B. They have to adapt to warmer climate.
C. Scientists need them to do experiments. D. Larger parts tend to help them feed well.
33. Where may warm-blooded animals have bigger body parts?
A. In mild areas. B. In hot places. C. In the Arctic. D. In deserted regions.
34. What do we know about the change in animals from the last two paragraphs?
A. It comes at a cost. B. Its cause is definite.
C. It happens in the same habitat. D. Its process will end soon.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Living on a Warming Planet B. Measures to Remove Heat
C. Pioneering Research on Animals D. Evolution to Survive Heat

A food additive is any substance that is added to food．Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food”． 36 . Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas．
The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances．Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided． 37 . And some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food．Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange．Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”．

We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better．Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products．Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, and give it a longer shelf life． 39 .
Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument．Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe． 40 . Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added．But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives are subjected to strict testing before they can be placed on the market．For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects from the long-term use of presently approved food additives are very slim．
A．Food additives are used for many reasons．
B．The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals．
C．It pays to avoid food additives and eat only whole foods．
D．Of course, they make it more attractive to the consumer．
E．But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten．
F．Some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market.
G．Food additives are substances that become part of a food product when they are added during the processing or making of that food．

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。 续写的词数应为150左右。
I received an urgent call from my aunt. " Turn on the TV. Granny's on the Channel 10 news. " It turned out that Granny had made a sandwich run for her office and was stopped at a red light downtown. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the breeze when a man rushed up to the driver's side window, intending to carjack（劫车）her.
Now, what the would-be carjacker couldn't have known was that this woman simply wasn't " a granny" . This was Nancy Johnson — the same woman who owned and lived on a Texas cattle farm, drove her own tractors, and dug her own post holes to lay fence. The week before, she had shot a rattlesnake and chopped off its head with a shovel . She was the proud owner of the new minivan（小型货车）she was driving. In other words, she was not your normal kind of granny.
The carjacker leaned into the open window, one hand stuffed in his pocket, and said, " Get out of this car. I have a gun, and I will shoot you.” A statement like that would have terrified anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge." If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would've pulled it out and led with that first," she shouted at him, apparently unworried.
She was right. The criminal didn't have a gun. He instead reached into the window, grabbed her, and tried to pull her out of the van. He pulled open the door, wildly catching Granny's arms. Granny leaned her shoulder inside to press the horn（喇叭) and started yelling to make people around notice what was happening. With the door now open, she held tight the steering wheel with one arm and started kicking the man anywhere her foot could make contact. This tall woman had quite a reach.
注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右。2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。

Dear Smith,
Knowing that you are interested in a traditional Chinese festival, which is called Dragon Boat Festival by Chinese, I am writing to introduce it to you. The dragon boat festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month in honor of the great poet, Qu Yuan. As is known to us, in order to warn the king, Qu yuan sacrifice his life to jump into the Miluo river. People were touched by his behavior and set the day he died as a festival to show honor to him. On that day, we often eat rice-dumplings and drink a special wine. Besides, what should be stressed is the dragon-boat racing, which is very interesting and exciting. People gather on the both sides of the river to watch the participators spare no effort to make for the finishing line. The dragon boat festival l is approaching. Would you like to join us to spend it?
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】After a well-placed kick, the man was done, and attempted to release her and run. But Granny wouldn’t stand for that. It was now her turn to grab onto him, her hands made strong from hours and hours of farm work. That poor fool didn’t have a chance. She shouted for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came. A silver-haired woman had just made a citizen’s arrest.
Later, we asked “Granny, don’t you realize you could have got yourself hilled?” Granny’s answer was surprisingly amusing and simple: “I wasn’t scared of that little idiot. I’d had my brand-new van for less than two days and a pack of good sandwiches for my office. And there was no way he was going to get either of those!” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years. She encouraged us to push boundaries and expectations. But even more so, she taught us fearlessness.


41.B　此处表示这家店的人气的核心是其独特的员工:几乎每个人都有智力或发育障碍。42.D　根据语境可知,Amy Wright的孩子Beau和Bitty都患有唐氏综合征,这是她和丈夫开咖啡馆的灵感来源。故选D。
43.A　根据语境可知,雇主不愿意给那些有智力或发育障碍的人面试机会。故选A。
44.C　根据语境并结合选项,Wright脑子里突然闪过开一家咖啡店的念头。strike"突然想到"。
45.A　看到员工在门口招呼客人、准备食物、端咖啡、擦桌子,人们就会意识到这些人是多么有能力。故选A。
46.A　参见上题解析。capable "有能力"。
47.C　该店开业时,门外立刻排起了队。故选C。
48.D　全国新闻工作者关注它,六个月后,它不得不搬到一个更大的场地。故选D。
49.B　参见上题解析。故选B。
50.C　根据下文内容可知,Wright最自豪的是这家咖啡店在社区中所搭建的桥梁。故选C。
51.D　根据上文中的"That’s a feeling of happiness most people don’t get elsewhere"可知,大多数人在其他地方体验不到那种快乐,那吸引人们重回这里。
52.A　根据下文中的"with those with disabilities and realize how much more alike we are"可知,人们通过和残疾人交流认识到大家是多么相似。interact"交流,沟通"。
53.D　根据下文"It’s a human rights movement"可知,此处表示这不仅仅是一杯咖啡。故选D。
54.B　它给予我们的员工尊重和被重视的感觉。value"重视"。
55.C　根据上文中的"For many employees, it’s their first job"可知,对于很多员工来说,这是他们的第一份工作,因此他们很开心。故选C。
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇读后续写。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的奶奶开车上街。在停车等红绿灯的时候遇到了拦路抢劫犯。作者的奶奶没有被吓到，反而在路上和抢劫犯做斗争。抓住了抢劫犯，并因此上了电视。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：在踢了一脚后，这名男子被击倒，并试图放开她并逃跑……，所以这一段应该写歹徒试图逃跑而奶奶伙同其他人制服歹徒，并因此上了电视。要详细写奶奶是如何抓住那个歹徒的。第二段开头是：后来，我们问:“奶奶，难道你没有意识到你会被人盯上吗?” 本段应该写奶奶不畏惧任何坏人。并且通过奶奶的事迹，教会了我们一些人身哲理：我们要无所畏惧。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】文章思路清晰，语言规范，段落整齐，语篇连贯，层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式:with的复合结构With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came；定语从句：But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years等。高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次，整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。

And there was no way he was going to get either of those!” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years. She encouraged us to push boundaries and expectations. But even more so, she taught us fearlessness.
