Take a trip down memory lane as you meet all your beloved comic characters from the Asterix & Obelix comic series at Parc Astérix. Counted amongst the top 3 largest theme parks in France, Parc Astérix is frequented by a whopping 2 million visitors annually. The rides and exhibits at the park draw inspiration from a wide range of historic cultures such as Ancient Greece and Egypt besides, the Gallic and Roman cultures represented in the comics. Situated 35 km away from Paris, the theme park is easily accessible and is perfect for a leisurely day out with your loved ones.

In the Pascucci household, putting up Christmas lights was always a big day of celebration and a family affair. Every year, Anthony Pascucci, the male head of the family, and his older sister, Connie Pascucci, and Anthony’s son, Anthony Jr., and daughter, Sara, pitched in it.
In 2020, Anthony Sr., 60, tied colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if the brightness of the lights could counter some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19. However, just several days after Christmas Eve the pandemic claimed his life.
Sara says the next weeks were the worst of her life. But when she pulled up to the house at the end of a long day, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. Taking the lights down felt like a final act of closure she wasn’t ready to take. So she kept them up.
One day Sara received an unsigned letter which read “Take your Christmas lights down! It’s Valentine’s Day!!!” Sara was shocked and angry. She decided to post the letter. “I wanted to remind people that we all had a tough year and people should be a little more caring toward each other,” she says.
“I know what it feels like to lose someone and not want to put their things away. It’s very hard,” one man commented. And something strange began to happen. Sara was driving back from work one day when she noticed that Christmas lights were appearing—or reappearing—on neighbors’ houses. The mystery had a sweet explanation: Her neighbors had gotten together and decided, collectively, to hang their lights back up and turn them back on in honor of Sara’s father.
“To see the lights and the block lit up again,” Sara says, “it touched my heart.” A few weeks later, Sara decided she was ready to take down the lights. Sara said it was hard to pack them away—“but not as hard as I think it would have been if we hadn’t experienced all that support and love.”
4. In Sara’s family, putting up Christmas lights ______.
A. was a family routine
B. was Anthony’s responsibility
C. was the biggest event in a year
D. could remove the darkness of the past year
5. Sara kept the lights up because ____.
A. they reminded her of her father
B. it was still Christmas season then
C. it was too troublesome to remove them
D. they were extremely colorful and bright
6. Sara posted the unsigned letter in order to ____.
A. ask for netizens’ help
B. share her anger and shock
C. criticize the person who wrote the letter
D. appeal to people to care about others more
7. Which can be the most probable title for the text?
A. Up in lights. B. Sara’s sweet neighbors.
C. An unforgettable Christmas. D. Let your neighbors’ lights on.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sara的父亲因为新冠病毒而不幸去世，周围邻居通过他们友爱的行为，表达了对这一家的支持。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the Pascucci household, putting up Christmas lights was always a big day of celebration and a family affair.(在帕斯库奇家，挂圣诞彩灯一直是一件值得庆祝的大事，也是一件家庭事务。)”可知，在Sara家，挂圣诞彩灯是家庭惯例。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2020, Anthony Sr., 60, tied colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if the brightness of the lights could counter some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19. However, just several days after Christmas Eve the pandemic claimed his life.(2020年，60岁的老安东尼(Anthony Sr.)在屋顶上挂满了彩灯，直到灯光的亮度似乎可以抵消过去一年因新冠病毒肺炎而带来的一些黑暗。然而，就在平安夜几天后，疫情夺去了他的生命。)”和第三段“Sara says the next weeks were the worst of her life. But when she pulled up to the house at the end of a long day, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. Taking the lights down felt like a final act of closure she wasn’t ready to take. So she kept them up.
(萨拉说，接下来的几周是她一生中最糟糕的时期。但是，当漫长的一天结束时，她把车停在家门口时，闪烁的圣诞彩灯给她带来了一丝快乐。把灯关掉，感觉就像她还没准备好接受的最后一件事。所以她坚持了下来。)”可推知，萨拉一直开着灯，因为这让她想起了她的父亲。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She decided to post the letter. “I wanted to remind people that we all had a tough year and people should be a little more caring toward each other,” she says.(她决定把信寄出去。她说：“我想提醒人们，我们都度过了艰难的一年，人们应该多一点彼此关心。”)”可知，萨拉发布这封没有署名的信是为了呼吁人们多关心别人。故选D。
【7题详解】

Istanbul, Turkey, is one of the world’s most attractive cities, where the ancient and modern blend together almost effortlessly, where Europe meets Asia, and where friendly, generous, and charming locals always have a story to tell. Istanbul is the only settlement in the world that sits on two continents. The Bosporus, a busy waterway, divides the city in two: the western part being the European side and the eastern part being the Asian side. Because there are many monuments and other things of interest, taking a boat ride down the Bosporus Strait is the best way to see Istanbul.
The ideal way to see the city in the shortest amount of time is to hire a catamaran—a sailing boat with two hulls (船身). On a catamaran, you can travel the length of the Bosporus to either the Black Sea or the Sea of Marmara, seeing all that Istanbul has to offer. A catamaran is very convenient, but it has one big shortcoming—it doesn’t allow you to mingle with the local residents, perhaps the most interesting part of this unique city. To get a taste of the native culture, you should take one of the many ferries that are used for public transportation and are more affordable than catamarans. Though they don’t go as far as the catamarans, you can still see many of the highlights of Istanbul, and the ferries allow you to mix with Turkish people and see how they live.
There are total 48 piers and 22 public ferry lines along the Bosporus. The lines are priced according to the distance travelled. Istanbul’s Public Ferries has two main lines that include: Domestic Trips and Bosporus Tours. They operate every 15-20 minutes, leaving regularly from the main downtown ports of Eminonu and continue running throughout the day until 23:00 pm. It’s quite an experience to sit in the tea shop located in the middle of the ferry, watching jewels like the Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia float by. Waiters in regional costume bring you “cay”—Turkish tea—in glasses with cubes of sugar on the side. Sightseeing on the Bosporus as you sip on your tea is a magical way to witness the beauty of Istanbul.
8. Which is true according to Paragraph 1?
A. Europe is a place worthy to be explored.
B. Istanbul is known as a transcontinental city.
C. Boat riding has a very long history in Istanbul.
D. The Bosporus is the best way to know Turkey.
9. What does the underlined word “mingle” mean in Para 2?
A. mix. B. sit. C. rent. D. eat.
10. What do we learn about ferries in Istanbul?
A. They are charged by time and distance.
B. They are highly used by foreign tourists.
C. They can be one of the tools for sightseeing.
D. They can be taken from central ports in the city.
11. This text is most probably taken from ______.
A. a novel B. a guidebook
C. a history textbook D. a scientific research
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅游胜地——伊斯坦布尔。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Istanbul is the only settlement in the world that sits on two continents. (伊斯坦布尔是世界上唯一一个横跨两大洲的城市。)”可知，伊斯坦布尔是一座横贯大陆的城市。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Though they don’t go as far as the catamarans, you can still see many of the highlights of Istanbul, and the ferries allow you to mix with Turkish people and see how they live. (虽然它们没有双体船走得那么远，但你仍然可以看到伊斯坦布尔的许多亮点，轮渡让你可以和土耳其人混在一起，看看他们是如何生活的。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：双体船非常方便，但它有一个很大的缺点——它不允许你与当地居民融合，这可能是这个独特城市最有趣的部分。由此可知，mingle意为“使混合”，与A项mix意思接近。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To get a taste of the native culture, you should take one of the many ferries that are used for public transportation and are more affordable than catamarans. Though they don’t go as far as the catamarans, you can still see many of the highlights of Istanbul, and the ferries allow you to mix with Turkish people and see how they live. (要体验当地文化，你应该乘坐许多公共交通渡轮之一，比双体船更便宜。虽然它们没有双体船走得那么远，但你仍然可以看到伊斯坦布尔的许多亮点，轮渡让你可以和土耳其人混在一起，看看他们是如何生活的。)”可知，伊斯坦布尔的轮渡可以成为观光的工具之一。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Istanbul, Turkey, is one of the world’s most attractive cities, where the ancient and modern blend together almost effortlessly, where Europe meets Asia, and where friendly, generous, and charming locals always have a story to tell. (土耳其的伊斯坦布尔是世界上最具吸引力的城市之一，在这里，古老与现代几乎毫不费力地融合在一起，在这里，欧洲与亚洲相遇，在这里，友好、慷慨、迷人的当地人总是有一个故事要讲。)”和文章第二段“The ideal way to see the city in the shortest amount of time is to hire a catamaran—a sailing boat with two hulls(船身). (在最短的时间内游览这座城市的理想方式是租一艘双体船——一种有两个船体的帆船。)”可知，文章最有可能出自一个旅游指南。故选B。
D
Traditional public schools assign a child to a given school based on his family’s place of residence. As Coleman pointed out, residential assignment promotes division between schools by family background. It creates motivation for families to move to the “good” school districts. Under this system, schools cannot serve as the equal-opportunity engines of our society.
The most promising social policy for fighting the effects of family background, then, could well be the expansion of programs — small schools of choice. These programs allow families to choose schools without regard to their neighborhood of residence. An analysis of more than 100 schools of choice in New York City between 2019 and 2020 might tell us something. It witnessed 9.5 percent increase in the graduation rate of a group of educationally and economically disadvantaged students, at no extra cost to the city.
Small schools of choice might also build the social relationship that Coleman considered crucial for student success. First, small schools are well positioned to build a strong school culture. Helping students to cultivate networks of social relationships better equips them to handle life’s challenges. While schools may not be able to compensate fully for the negative effects of an unstable family, a strong school culture can transform the “social ecology” of a disadvantaged child.
Small schools of choice also encourage a voluntary community that comes together over strong ties and shared values. Typically, schools of choice feature a clearly defined mission and set of core values, which may come from religious traditions and beliefs. The Notre Dame ACE Academy schools, for instance, strive for the twin goals of preparing students for college and for heaven. A focused mission also helps school administrators attract like-minded teachers. A warm teaching staff can be particularly beneficial for children from unstable homes. Exposure to well-functioning adult role models at school might promote well-being and positive emotional development.
12. What might be the effect of residential assignment?
A. The school system might become fair.
B. Families prefer good living environment.
C. Schools will be the equal-opportunity engines.
D. Houses in good school districts might be favored.
13. Who might benefit from small schools of choice?
A. Students from an honored family.
B. Students with a strong sense of culture.
C. Students with economical disadvantage.
D. Students from a noble place of residence.
14 Why are The Notre Dame ACE Academy schools mentioned?
A. To prove effect of religious traditions.
B. To display the benefit of a warm staff.
C. To promote well-being of adults.
D. To attract like-minded teachers.
15. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Small Schools of Choice B. Schools over Shared Values
C. Effects of Family Background D. Ways to Improve Education
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教育政策方面选择小型学校项目，该项目有诸多优势，可以促进社会公正，通过建立社会关系促进学生未来的成功，在自发性社区内帮助学生良性发展。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Coleman pointed out, residential assignment promotes division between schools by family background. It creates motivation for families to move to the “good” school districts.（正如科尔曼指出的，按住宅分配使得学校被按照家庭背景划分。这刺激了家庭搬到“好的”学区。）”可知，按住宅分配的制度下，想要上好的学校，需要住在好的学区内。由此推知，按住宅分配可能会导致好的学区内的房子更受青睐。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“These programs allow families to choose schools without regard to their neighborhood of residence.（这些项目允许家庭在选择学校时不考虑其居住地区。）”和“It witnessed 9.5 percent increase in the graduation rate of a group of educationally and economically disadvantaged students, at no extra cost to the city.（在教育和经济上处于不利条件的学生群体中，毕业率增加了9.5%，而不用城市花费额外费用。）”可知，小型选择学校的项目打破了居住区域的限制，使得在教育和经济上处于不利地位的学生毕业率增加。因此，经济上不利条件的学生可能从该项目中获益。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Notre Dame ACE Academy schools, for instance, strive for the twin goals of preparing students for college and for heaven. A focused mission also helps school administrators attract like-minded teachers. A warm teaching staff can be particularly beneficial for children from unstable homes. Exposure to well-functioning adult role models at school might promote well-being and positive emotional development.（例如，圣母大学ACE学院的学校努力实现两个目标：让学生为大学和天堂做好准备。专注的使命也有助于学校管理者吸引志同道合的教师。温暖的教学团队对来自不稳定家庭的孩子尤其有益。在学校接触人格完整的成人榜样可能会促进健康和积极的情感发展。）”可知，圣母大学ACE学院的学校明确的目标使其可以建立温暖的教学团队，促进学生的良性发展。由此推知，文章提到圣母大学ACE学院的学校是为了证明宗教传统带来的使命、核心价值观的作用。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕教育政策方面的选择小型学校项目展开，介绍了该项目的诸多优势，包括可以促进社会公正，通过建立社会关系促进学生未来的成功，在自发性社区内帮助学生良性发展。因此，A项“选择小型学校”符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。

【答案】Hello Mike,
How are you going these days?
Our yearly campus book fair will be held recently in order to provide us students with an opportunity to exchange books and make better use of used books. At the book fair, students could sell unwanted books, buy needed books or simply trade books with each other. Like other fairs of this kind, prices are typically very low. Happily, students need not get rid of their used books but also bought a few books they really wanted.
As far as I’m concerned, I highly recommend this activity, which is beneficial to us students. On the one hand, our social skills can be well practiced and improved. On the other hand, this activity also gave us an excellent opportunity to feel a bit of the real world. Looking forward to your suggestion for our better campus book fair.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的故事。
It was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day.
I was triage (分诊) nurse that day. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I came back to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot cider. Just then an admitting clerk came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated. “Five, how did I get five? I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.” I complained. So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my triage desk, a pale woman and four small children in somewhat messy clothing.
“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly, and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual questions. When it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague. A six-year-old girl had a headache, but the headache wasn’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Three children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. I checked the chart after the admitting clerk finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I went back to the nurse station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas Day, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action as much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.
We took turns joining in the waiting room.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the family were to leave, the six-year-old came running back.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We took turns joining in the waiting room. We asked for the free meal that was offered to us in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, and prepared other food for our Christmas guests. We also needed presents, so we put together candies, fruits and other things available from different apartments. Rushing in and out of the waiting room, our team made great efforts to make a warm party to meet the needs of the homeless family who just wanted to warm themselves on Christmas Day.
As the family were to leave, the six-year-old came running back. She gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.” As she got back to her family, they all waved one more time. Inside the nurses’ station, there stood a group of nurses with tears of joy in their eyes, who had a Christmas Day that they would never forget.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了圣诞夜一位母亲为了取暖而带着四个孩子谎称看病去急诊室。护士不但没有驱赶，反而热情接待的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我们轮流加入候诊室。”可知，第一段可描写我们的队伍如何帮助他们，可以围绕在聚会上吃的东西展开段落，可以体现护士们对这一家人的细致关心，也可突出她们的“善举”，落脚在一些比较具体的事上，与“我”和其他护士对这一家人的细心观察相呼应。
②由第二段首句内容“当这家人要离开时，6岁的孩子跑了回来。”可知，第二段可描写聚会后这一家人对受到的帮助所做的回应。
2.续写线索：开始行动——做准备——聚会结束——表示感谢——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①做准备：prepare for/make preparations for
②努力：make great efforts/spare no effort
③拥抱：take sb. under one’s arm/ give sb a hug/hug sb tightly

[高分句型2] Inside the nurses’ station, there stood a group of nurses with tears of joy in their eyes, who had a Christmas Day that they would never forget.（运用了完全倒装，运用了who引导非限制性定语从句，that引导定语从句）
