(总分：150分　　　　时间：120分钟)

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.

The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.

Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but they're still offering advice.”

Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.

Common sense suggests it is a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that Asian­American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”

语篇导读

本文为议论文，题材为学校教育类。主要对父母参与孩子的学习活动所产生的影响进行了论述。

21．The underlined expression “parental involvement” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．parents' expectation on children's health

B．parents' participation in children's education

C．parents' control over children's life

D．parents' plan for children's future

解析：B　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的关键信息“父母帮助孩子做作业”和“Other forms”可推测画线短语应是“父母参与孩子的学习活动”这一含义，故选B项。

22．What is the major finding of Robinson's study?

A．Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.

B．Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.

C．Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.

D．Parents are not able to help with children's homework.

解析：C　推理判断题。通读全文可知，Robinson的研究发现：父母参与孩子的学习活动并没有像原先认为的那样起作用，故选C项。

23．The example of Asian­American parents implies that parents should ________.

A．help children realize the importance of schooling

B．set a specific life goal for their children

C．spend more time improving their own lives

D．take a more active part in school management

解析：A　推理判断题。最后一段Robinson提出自己的观点为：父母参与孩子的学习活动不是他们获得成功的根本原因。然后列举了亚裔美国人几乎不直接参与孩子学习活动的例子来证明自己的观点。亚裔美国人主要是让孩子意识到学业的成功对他们改善未来生活的重要性，故选A项。

Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps. The pay was low; it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.

Medway's annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot(烟灰) behind and have some fun. The sweeps' holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally，they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.

Their fun continued with the Jack­in­the­Green ceremony，a seven­foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill，Chatham. The Jack­in­the­Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade. When the Climbing Boys' Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade，the traditional procession gradually began to fade. The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.

The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colourful mix of music，dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three­day festival. The festival was ________revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton，a keen historian. He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today—an excellent performance of traditional Britain.

Gordon researched the Sweeps' tradition and organized a small parade，involving local Morris teams. In time，Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remained actively involved.

Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon(簧风琴) for several Morris teams. Doug Hudson is the festival's music director，a role he has held for many years. Through Gordon's vision and hard work，Doug's musical ability and the council's help，the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country.

语篇导读

本文是一篇记叙文，几百年前，扫烟囱节的出现为扫烟囱的人带来了些许欢乐和放松，在这一节日消失近一个世纪以后，通过高登·牛顿的不懈努力，扫烟囱节又重新回到人们的生活中。人们通过歌舞的形式来庆祝这一节日。

24．Medway's Sweeps Festival ________.

A．has been organized by the Jack­in­the­Green

B．dated back to the May celebration in the early 1900s

C．is held to honor those chimney sweeps every other year

D．has become a time for chimney sweeps to enjoy themselves

解析：D　细节理解题。由第二段中的the one time… have some fun可知，在当时，扫烟囱节成为扫烟囱工人娱乐的一种方式。A项中the Jack­in­the­Green为庆祝活动中的一个人物而非活动组织者；扫烟囱节可以追溯到400年前而非20世纪初，故B项不对；对于现代扫烟囱节举行的频率，文章并未提及，故C项有误。

25．The underlined word “revived” in the 4th paragraph most probably means “________”．

A．realized B．reviewed

C．recreated D．recognized

解析：C　词义猜测题。根据文章可知，扫烟囱节在20世纪初举行过最后一次庆祝后于1981年又重新出现。根据语境及画线词后的Gordon Newton(高登·牛顿)可知是他重新创立(recreate)了扫烟囱节。其他各项含义；realized意识到，实现；reviewed复习；recognized认出，认可。

26．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．the festival has never been supported by the local government

B．The festival is a good way to see British folk customs in action

C．youngsters have been forbidden to be chimney sweeps since 1981

D．the modern festival lasts five days celebrating the coming of spring

解析：B　推理判断题。由文章第四段中he has helped…an excellent performance of traditional Britain可推知，在现代扫烟囱节里，人们可以欣赏到英国传统的表演。

27．What is the passage mainly concerned about?

A．Sweeps Festival's history.

B．Medway's traditional holidays.

C．Climbing Boys' Act 1868.

D．A procession in Rochester.

解析：A　主旨大意题。文章讲述了扫烟囱节的过去和现在，即扫烟囱节的历史。

Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left，we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and，except for a few places in faraway mountain areas，the roads were wide，and well­paved(铺设). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns difficult，so we picnicked almost every day.

The following day after our arrival was Turkey's Children's Day，started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.Ataturk loved children and he often said：“Children are a new beginning of tomorrow.” He even dedicated(奉献) the day 23rd of April to the children which is celebrated as Children's Day.

On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government，and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day.He can decide what's going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president next to him. There are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some shops aren't open because they are celebrating the day as well.

All in all，it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend(推荐) a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous(冒险的) spirit!

(2016·广东实验中学期中考试)

Dear Editor，

I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says，“If you see him in The New York Sun，it's so.” Please tell me the truth: is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O'Hanlon

115 W. 95th St.

Dear Virginia，

Virginia，your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism(怀疑态度) of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. All minds，Virginia，whether they are men's or children's，are little. In this great universe of ours，man is a mere insect in his intellect(智力)，compared with the boundless world around him，and measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge.

Yes，Virginia，there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love，generosity(慷慨) and devotion exist，and you know that they give your life their highest beauty and joy. How terrible would the world be if there were no Santa Claus. There would be no childlike faith then，no poetry，and no romance to make human existence tolerable. We should have no enjoyment，except in sense and sight.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! Nobody sees Santa Claus，but there is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not，but there is no proof that they are not there.Nobody can imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world.

No Santa Claus! Actually he lives forever. A thousand years from now，Virginia，he will continue to make the heart of childhood glad.

Yours，

Editor

语篇导读

本文是两封书信。一名8岁的小女孩给报社写信询问这个世界上有没有圣诞老人，而报社针对该问题作出了回应。

32. Why does Virginia write to The New York Sun?

A．To tell other children not to be cheated by Santa Claus.

B．To take part in a writing competition by The New York Sun.

C．To ask for information about Christmas fairy tales.

D．To ask if what her friends say about Santa Claus is true.

解析：D　细节理解题。在第一封信中，Virginia谈到她的朋友们说世上没有圣诞老人，Virginia就给报社的编辑写信，为了求证世界上是否有圣诞老人。因此选D项。

33. The editor compares man to insects to show that ________.

A．man isn't clever enough to understand the great world

B．man depends on the sun to give him the energy to live

C．man needs lies and fairy tales to grasp the whole truth

D．man should learn to respect and protect nature as insects do

解析：A　推理判断题。根据第二封信的第一段可知，与广袤无边的宇宙相比，人类在智力方面仅仅像昆虫一样，难以掌握全部的真理和知识。由此推断选A项。

34. According to the passage，what would happen if we believe there were no Santa Claus?

A．We would live in a world of silence and blindness.

B．We would lose our devotion to and love for each other.

C．We would live in a world without faith or imagination.

D．We would make the environment too terrible to live in.

解析：C　推理判断题。第二封信的第二段中讲到，如果没有圣诞老人，我们就不会有孩童般的信念，不再有诗意，不再有浪漫，我们将体会不到感官之外的快乐。由此推断选C项，我们会生活在一个没有信念和想象的世界里。

35. Where can you most probably find the passage?

A．In a religious book. B．In a newspaper.

C．On the Internet. D．In a fairy story.

解析：B　推理判断题。从文章的内容可知，这是两封读者和编辑之间的信，因此可推知可能出现在报纸上，故选B项。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Building Trust in a Relationship Again

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.__36__ Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Unfortunately，we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. __37__ It's understandable，but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there.

●__38__ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well­being.

●__39__ If you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives，we'll have our trust tested or violated.

●You didn't lose “everything”. Once trust is lost，what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.__40__ Instead，it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A．Learn to really trust yourself.

B．It is putting confidence in someone.

C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.

E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.

F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.

语篇导读

人和人之间需要相互信任，赢得别人的信任并不是一件容易的事。我们也曾在某个特定的关系群中失去了对别人的信任，成了背叛的受害者。如何重新在这个关系群中建立起那份信任呢？本文给出了几条建议。

36．解析：B　第一段阐述了什么是“信任”。空格前说Trust is a learned behavior…，空格后说Trust is a risk.由此推断出选B项。　

37．解析：E　空格前列举了遭遇背叛的几种情况：被偷、被撒谎、被误导、被欺骗，这些事情的发生使人们受到了深深的伤害，他们不能容忍它再次发生，故选E项。

38．解析：A　根据后面句子中的Having confidence in yourself…可知此处作者建议：学会真正信任你自己，故选A项。

39．解析：C　根据后面句子中的you are the victim和being a victim以及a “victim mentality”可知此处作者的建议是：不要再把自己当成一个受害者，故选C项。

40．解析：G　空格前作者建议：不要从绝望的角度看局面，而要感激你生活中所有的好的方面。空格后作者说：这是一种健康的方式……。由此推断出此处答案为G项：看到事情积极的方面并不意味着你在忽视已经发生的事情。

第三部分　英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Western people always give us an impression(印象) of being independent. My experience told me that they are good at teamwork，too!

During my visit to Valleyview Secondary School，what I heard most often were words __41__ these：“Please do __42__！”，“Four students a group.” or“Change and form a new group.” In Canada，classes are full of __43__. Students act in groups both inside and outside the classroom. Their stress on team spirit really __44__ me. Here is what I saw：

Students were __45__ to take an exam in this class. They used PowerPoint to make presentations(展示). I was quite interested in such a high­tech __46__ of examination. And the students were once again __47__ into groups and once again took me by surprise.

Each group had three students. One was to control the computer，the second __48__ a reporter to ask questions，and the third spokesman to give the __49__. Students chose the roles themselves.“I'm __50__ in the computer，my friend Darcy is talkative(爱多说话的) and Alan appears handsome，__51__ we make a great group！”A boy said to me __52__ after the exam.

How was the students' performance __53__？“According to the whole group's work，of course.” I got the answer from the teacher. Each student has his strong points and __54__. I thought about the question for a long time after the class: is it fair to __55__ every student with the same paper? Canadian schools introduce cooperation(合作) into their exams.A student __56__ to take the job that he thinks he is good at，and he works with his __57__ to try to be the best in class. Isn't it a good way to judge students?

We all know that cooperation is __58__，but how to develop this ability? I do think we can learn __59__ from schools in Canada. Maybe it's a good idea to __60__ group activities!

42．A.in pairs B．on purpose

解析：C　从上文引号中的内容不难看出这些都属于课堂上的小组活动(activities)。

44．A.moved B．puzzled

48．A.worked as B．agreed with

C．called on D．acted as

解析：D　从下文中的“Students chose the roles themselves”可以看出，这个考试是让孩子们扮演不同角色进行小组活动，所以act as“充当”，符合语境。work as从事……工作；agree with与(某人)有相同的看法，同意(某人的)意见；call on拜访。

49．A.explanations B．lectures

C．answers D．details

解析：C　对应上文中的“to ask questions”，所以这里用answers。

50．A.skilled B．buried

C．interested D．engaged

解析：A　根据常识，学生一般都选自己擅长的角色，所以用skilled“(人)有技能的，熟练的”，它常与at/in连用。

C．but D．or

解析：A　结合空处前后语境可知，此处表示因果关系，故用so。

52．A.coldly B．slowly

54．A.characters B．advantages

解析：C　对应空前的“strong points”可知选C项。weakness弱点。

55．A.teach B．evaluate

C．develop D．test

解析：D　本句的意思是：用同一张试卷测试(test)每一名学生，这样公平吗？

56．A.requests B．volunteers

C．roommates D．partners

解析：D　本文的主题是小组活动，所以此处用partners表示学生和自己的搭档们一起努力做到最好。

58．A.important B．simple

解析：A　根据常识及下文中作者希望我们学习加拿大的小组活动这种模式可知，作者认为合作很重要(important)。

60．A.give up B．hope for

C．put off D．begin with

第Ⅱ卷

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Are you the first or the last child in your family? Or are you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters about the birth order in the family. But there are different __61__(idea) about what birth order means. Some people say that the oldest children，__62__ are smart and strong­willed，are very likely __________63__(succeed).

What happens __66__ the other children in the family? Middle children don't get so much attention，so they don't feel that important. If a family has many children，the middle one sometimes gets __67__(lose) in the crowd. The youngest child，however，often gets special attention. Often this child grows up to be funny.

But a recent study saw things quite __68__(difference). The study found that the first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their life. They usually __69__(follow) orders. But rules didn't mean as much to the other children in the family. They took chances and they often did __________70__(well) in life.

语篇导读

本文主要谈论了在一个家庭中孩子的出生顺序对孩子的影响。

61．ideas

解析：考查名词复数。idea是可数名词，根据空前的different可知，这里应用名词复数形式。

62．who

解析：考查定语从句的关系词。此处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰the oldest children，且在从句中作主语，故用who。

43．to_succeed

解析：考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth.是固定用法，意为“可能做某事”。

64．and

解析：考查连词。父母给第一个孩子很多时间，并非常关注他/她。此处表示并列关系，故用and。

65．the

解析：考查冠词。独生子女也会因为同样的原因成功。same前要用定冠词the，表示前面刚提过的同样的原因。

66．to

解析：考查介词。家庭中的其他孩子会发生什么呢？What happens to sb.是固定句型，意为“某人发生了什么事”。

67．lost

解析：考查词形转换。如果一个家庭中有很多孩子，中间的孩子有时候会在众多孩子中迷失。此处的gets是系动词，后接形容词作表语，故填lost。

68．differently

解析：考查词形转换。但是最近一个研究不是这样看待这个问题的。此处应用副词修饰动词saw，故用differently“不同地”。

69．followed

解析：考查动词的时态。他们通常遵循规则。文章对研究的描述为一般过去时，故填followed。

70．better

解析：考查副词的比较级。他们敢于冒险，经常在生活中做得更好。此处表示与大孩子相比，故用比较级。

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world，so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

At a party，my coach，with a biscuit in his mouth，asked surprisingly who made them and joked，“I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

My favorite picture at the party was of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

71．第一段第一句：去掉in　考查介词。在last week，next week，this week之前不需要任何介词。

72．第一段第二句：anything→something　考查代词。我想为教练做点什么特别的事情，而不是任何事情。

73．第一段第三句：better→best　考查形容词最高级。妈妈做的饼干是世界上最好的。这里用最高级。

74．第一段第三句：decide→decided　考查动词时态。全文是回忆过去的一件事情，用一般过去时态。

75．第一段第四句：step→steps　考查名词的数。some basic steps一些基本的步骤。

76．第一段第六句：well→good　考查形容词。be动词后接形容词good，意为“好的”，well作形容词时，意为“健康的”。

77．第一段第七句：after→when/while　考查连词。在打包的时候掉了一些饼干。

78．第二段：第一个a→the　考查冠词。party是第二次出现，应用定冠词。

79．第二段：第二个just后面加上to　考查非谓语动词。此处为不定式作目的状语。

【参考范文】

Dear_Jack，

Thanks_for_your_e­mail._I'm_glad_to_tell_you_something_about_China's_Spring_Festival.

As you know，the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China，just like Christmas in the west. It falls on the last day of lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival.

Before the festival comes，people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the new year. On New Year's Eve，people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while eating delicious food. During the festival，people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their relatives and friends.

As a teenager，I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get lucky money from my parents and relatives and enjoy myself with my friends as well.

How_do_you_like_the_Spring_Festival？I'm_looking_forward_to_hearing_from_you.

Yours，

Li_Hua

(2016·安徽合肥高一联考)Do you love holidays but hate the increase in weight that follows？You are not alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people，however，are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning，though，it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Don't miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast(宴会)，have a small，low­fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.

Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.

A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.

Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high­fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth，try mints(薄荷) and fruit. They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20­minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories(多余的热量)．

(2016·湖北武汉高一联考)Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just taken out from the freezer. Fruit，candies，nuts，chocolate，cake with buttercream frosting(糖霜)，even peas，all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact，I often eat them that way.

I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family，lots of things were thrown into the freezer—finally，two freezers—to prevent them from going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.

If we eat when they are still warm，we'll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It's better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we'll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower，more patient effort. That's the point about frozen buttercream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature，and it's gone very quickly. But when it's frozen，you can enjoy the taste much longer as ________it melts(融化) in your mouth.

The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. Take frozen grapes for example，I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy，and somehow their sweetness is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心)．This is the same with oranges，apples，bananas…You might think bananas would get super­hard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool，creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer，they will have a double taste.

As long as you aren't eating anything that truly has to be hot，go ahead and experiment.

语篇导读

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与别人截然不同的爱好——喜欢吃冰箱里冷冻过的东西，并分析了自己喜欢这种吃法的原因。最后，作者建议大家也都来试一下。

A．Fruit should be frozen before one eats it.

B．Frozen food is better than hot food.

D．Hot food is not healthy.

29．The author began to enjoy frozen food when he ________.

A．was young B．learned cooking

C．got married D．got a fever

解析：A　细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句可知A项正确。

B．Because the taste is not good when they are hot.

C．Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.

D．Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.

31．What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

A．The taste. B．Buttercream.

C．The cookie. D．Frozen buttercream frosting.

(2016·陕西商洛镇安中学月考)The kitchen inventions throughout history have paved the way for safer meals. However，do you know how the following kitchen aids came about?

The Oven

Historians owe the invention of the first ovens to ancient Egyptians. The earliest ones were taller and made of baked clay. Inside，they were divided into separate upper and lower chambers(室). The oven was heated by burning wood in the lower chamber. Food to be baked was put into the upper chamber through a hole at the top of the oven.

The barrel

According to historical records from the first century，the first wooden barrels were produced by people who lived in the Alps，Europe's highest mountains. For centuries，such barrels have been used to store and transport dry goods as well as wine and beer. Because of their curved(弯曲的) sides and round tops and bottoms，barrels can be rolled，which makes them easier than boxes to handle. Today，metal barrels are widely used to store oil and other liquids.

The egg carton

Back in 1911，an argument in British Columbia，Canada，led to a useful invention. Eggs shipped by a local farmer to a hotel owner often arrived broken，and each blamed the other for the damage. To solve the problem，Canadian newspaperman Joseph Coyle invented a paper carton with small and hollow(空的) spaces that cushioned the eggs and kept them separated. Coyle's invention was so successful that we still use it today.

The knife

Many believe the knife is mankind's oldest tool，with the earliest forms made from flint(燧石) or a glass­like rock and then from metal around 2500 BC. Through the years，the cutting device evolved into the handy tool we use today.

While we take these inventions for granted now，our lives would be very different without these kitchen aids.

语篇导读

本文介绍了一些厨房用品的发明过程。

32．How did the early oven bake food?

A．By baking the food in the two chambers in turn.

B．By burning wood in the lower chamber to bake.

C．By putting the food in the upper chamber to cook.

D．By burning the upper chamber through the hole on top.

解析：B　细节理解题。从The oven中的介绍可知，早期的烤箱分为上下两个部分，在下层烧木头来烧烤放在上层的食物，故B项正确。

33．According to the text，what makes barrels easier than boxes to handle?

A．Their size. B．Their material.

C．Their weight. D．Their shape.

解析：D　细节理解题。由The barrel中的倒数第二句可知，桶的形状使桶比盒子更容易搬动，故D项正确。

34．What do we know about Coyle's carton?

A．It was invented to win a big prize.

B．It kept the right temperature for eggs.

C．It prevented eggs from hitting each other.

D．It was later made perfect by local farmers.

解析：C　细节理解题。根据The egg carton中提到的鸡蛋运输过程中的问题以及“Joseph Coyle invented a paper carton with small and hollow(空的) spaces that cushioned the eggs and kept them separated”可知，Coyle发明纸盒是为了防止鸡蛋相互碰撞，故C项正确。

35．We can learn from the text that ________.

A．the first ovens are similar to what they are today

B．Ancient Egyptians invented the first wooden barrels

C．the earliest form of the knife appeared around 2500 BC

D．Coyle ended the conflict between the farmer and the hotel owner

解析：D　细节理解题。根据The egg carton中的“Back in 1911，an argument in British Columbia，Canada，led to a useful invention”以及“To solve the problem，Canadian newspaperman Joseph Coyle invented a paper carton”可知，Coyle的发明解决了当地农民与旅馆老板之间的争执。

__38__ You might be used to staying up late，perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet. I suggest going to bed earlier，even if you don't think you'll sleep，and read while in bed. If you're really tired，you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.

Put your alarm clock far from your bed. If it's right next to your bed，you'll shut it off. If it's far from your bed，you will have to get out of bed to shut it off. By then，you've been up. __39__ Don't make getting back in bed an option.

Set something important to do early in the morning. This will force you to get up.

__40__ You can make a cup of hot coffee or tea for yourself and read a book. You can also treat yourself to a tasty breakfast. It might seem at first that you are forcing yourself to do something hard，but if you make it pleasurable，soon you will look forward to getting up early.

A．Allow yourself to sleep earlier.

B．Don't wake up early and waste that extra time.

C．Make getting up early a reward.

D．So you may wonder how to become an early riser.

E．Get out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm.

(2016·陕西西安高新一中期末考试)Mary will never forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day，__61__(wear) sunglasses. And the news __62__(quick) got around that he was from New York City. For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt __63__(please)，but she quickly realized that it wasn't her；it was probably the fact that she sat in __64__ last row.

If he __65__(think) he could escape attention by sitting at the back，he was wrong. It might have made it a little harder for everybody because it meant they had to turn around，but that didn't stop the kids in the class.

语篇导读

本文是一篇记叙文。一个男生来到了Mary的班里并和坐在最后一排的Mary成为同桌。

61．wearing

解析：考查非谓语动词。He与wear之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语，表示主动。

62．quickly

解析：考查词形转换。此处修饰动词词组got around，故用副词quickly“迅速地”。

63．pleased

解析：考查词形转换。felt在此处是系动词，后接形容词作表语。pleased满意的，高兴的。

64．the

解析：考查冠词。in the last row在最后一排。

65．thought

解析：考查动词的时态。此处意为：如果他认为坐在后面就可以避开注意，那他就错了。根据was可知，此处表示过去的动作，应用一般过去时。

66．which

解析：考查定语从句的关系词。当然，无论什么时候他们转过身来看他，他们也不得不看Mary，这使得Mary觉得自己像明星。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语中从句并在从句中作主语，指代前面主句的内容，故用which。

67．medical

解析：考查词形转换。你需要眼镜是由于疾病的原因吗？此处修饰名词reasons，故用形容词medical“疾病的”。

68．for

解析：考查介词。一段时间前用介词for。

69．what

解析：考查名词性从句的引导词。所有其他学生都好奇这个男孩要做什么。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语，故用what。

70．them

解析：考查代词。男孩摘下了眼镜，笑着说：“这很酷。”此处代指眼镜glasses，故用them。

第四部分　写作(共两节，满分35分)

第一节　短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

删除：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。

修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。

When I was a child，I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there. Now I am living in a city，but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately，on the development of industrialization，the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out. We must found ways to protect your environment. If we fail to do so，we'll live to regret it.

71．第二句：think→thought　考查动词的时态。由was，hoped和would be可知，此处叙述的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时。

72．第三句：countryside前加the　考查冠词。in the countryside“在农村/乡下”为固定表达。

73．第四句：or→and　考查并列连词。由本句句意可知，此处表示并列关系，故需用and。

74．第五句：on→with　考查介词。表示“随着……”用介词with。

75．第六句：去掉been　考查动词的语态。主语studies和动词show之间为主动关系，故需用主动语态。

76．第六句：seriously→serious　考查形容词作定语。修饰名词需用形容词。

77．第七句：airs→air　考查名词的数。air为物质名词，是不可数名词。

78．第八句：Much→Many　考查形容词作定语。many修饰可数名词复数，much修饰不可数名词。此处修饰复数名词animals，故用many。

79．第九句：found→find　考查情态动词的用法。情态动词后的动词需用原形。

80．第九句：your→our/the　考查代词或定冠词。此处为形容词性物主代词作定语，句子的主语为we，故需用our与之相呼应。也可用定冠词the来限定。

第二节　书面表达(满分25分)

在班级活动中，当你的想法与大多数同学不一致时，你是坚持自己的观点并说服别人，还是尊重大多数同学的意见？请你以“When I Have a Different Opinion”为题，用英语写一篇100～120个词的短文。要求如下：

1．从以上两种做法中选择一种；

2．以具体事例阐述你选择的理由。

注意：短文中，不得以任何形式透露地区、学校、同学姓名等真实信息。

【参考范文】

When_I_Have_a_Different_Opinion

We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. When I have a different opinion，I may choose to give it up and respect the opinion of the majority.

The main reason for my choice is that being brought up in a culture emphasizing collectivism，I tend to sacrifice my own interest for the group benefits. Once we were left to decide whether to have a picnic in a park or go to a museum. I would love to go to a museum，but most of my classmates wanted to go for a picnic. Without hesitation，I decided to follow them and we did have lots of fun that day. Sometimes giving up a little can mean getting more.

(2016·辽宁沈阳高一联考)There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighbourhood. But the first step to keeping your child safe in your neighbourhood is to know your neighbours.

Knowing your neighbours can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”，or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar，but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It's these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.

But you shouldn't just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighbourhood，but are you OK with them being on the playground？Knowing your neighbours solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area that they gather. Let's face it: you don't want your child to play around people or people's children that curse(咒骂)or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbours.

Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbours is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them，but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbours，they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick(砖)house，than the people，in the house on the corner，that no one ever sees.

语篇导读

本文主要介绍在社区保护孩子安全的问题。

28．This passage is mainly to tell us ________.

A．how to keep your child safe in the neighbourhood

B．how to set a good example to your neighbours

C．how to get along with your neighbours

D．how to teach your child to protect himself/herself

解析：A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了如何保护孩子在社区的安全——首先要深入了解你的邻居，故选A项。

29．If someone resides two doors down，he ________.

A．studies at the same school with your kid

B．often comes to the neighbourhood to offer help

C．lives in the same neighbourhood as you

D．likes driving the truck around the neighbourhood

解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的第二句可知，如果一个人resides two doors down，这个人住的地方和你家隔着两家，他应该和你住在同一个社区。

30．The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．becoming very excited B．becoming very worried

C．becoming very disappointed D．becoming very relaxed

解析：B　词义推测题。你对进入社区的车或者车上坐的人是熟悉的，这会使得你无论什么时候看见有人开车经过孩子们玩的地方都不会担心。

31．The neighbours would like to look after your kid ________.

A．if they are often encouraged

B．if you are getting on well with them

C．if you are the one nobody knows

D．if they think you are a beautiful lady

(2016·黑龙江哈尔滨高一联考)I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have cereal，eggs or toast. Others had cakes and candy for lunch，while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess，my supper was different from the other kids'. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself，just to save money.

The worst was yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and get up at 7：45 the next morning. So when my friends slept，my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labour Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years，our friends' report cards had beautiful colours on them，black for passing，red for failing. My mother，however，would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.

She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background，I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

语篇导读

本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者认为最苛刻、最刁难人的妈妈却培养出了诚实、有教养的人。作者希望传承妈妈的教育方式教育好自己的孩子。

32．From the passage we can learn that the writer's mother was ________.

A．not generous at all

B．very strict with her children

C．very mean with money matters

D．very cruel to her children

解析：B　推理判断题。通读全文我们可以看出作者的母亲对子女要求非常严格。要注意前文虽然作者说母亲吝啬，但后文作者表达了对母亲的感激。

33．Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?

A．Eating differently from other kids.

B．Wearing clean clothes made by mother.

C．Going to bed early and getting up early.

D．Letting mother know where they were.

A．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studies

B．mother was punished for breaking Child Labour Law

C．all the other kids studied better than the writer

D．the writer's family lived a miserable life

解析：A　推理判断题。第三段中，母亲对子女的学习要求非常高。及倒数第二句提到母亲只对及格以上的成绩才感到满意。有这样一位严母的管教，孩子们会努力学习，取得好成绩。第三段中，只讲到break Child Labour law，未提及punish，故B项错误。第三段倒数第三句及第四段第一句可知C项错误。最后一段很明显表现了对母亲严加管教的赞扬，所以D项中的miserable不对。

35．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Mother practised economy in running her home.

B．The writer is very thankful to her mother.

C．The writer is severe with her children when bringing them up.

D．The writer has a deep hatred for her mother.

解析：D　推理判断题。母亲的严格管教使孩子们受益匪浅。作者是怀着对母亲的感激之情写这篇文章的。虽然文章开头说母亲“mean(吝啬、刻薄)”，但并不恨她。最后一段也说明了这一点。

语篇导读

本文针对是否应该帮助陌生人这一话题进行了讨论。

61．who

解析：考查定语从句的引导词。此处引导定语从句，修饰those，且在从句中作主语，故应用who。

62．careful

解析：考查词形转换。此处在句中作表语，故用形容词careful小心的。

63．had

解析：考查动词的时态。根据句中的last week可知，动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时。

64．a

解析：考查冠词。帮助别人是一种美德。此处virtue是可数名词，表泛指，且该词的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。

65．and

解析：考查连词。我们或许有一天会遇到麻烦，会需要别人的帮助。空处前后是并列关系，故用并列连词and。

66．to_imagine

解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处it是形式主语，不定式作真正的主语。

67．are_misunderstood

解析：考查动词的时态和语态。有时候我们会被误会。因we与misunderstand之间是被动关系，且表示客观情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态。

69．in

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left­hand side of the classroom，I could easy see the football field. In the mornings，it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance，I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the classroom was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom，I will never forget it.

71．第一句：side→sides　考查名词的的数。side是可数名词，前面有three修饰，side要改为sides。

72．第一句：from→of　考查介词。be made from由……制成，看不出原材料；be made of由……制成/组成，看得出原材料，所以from要改为of。

73．第二句：sit→sitting　考查非谓语动词。enjoy后接动名词，所以sit要改为sitting。

74．第三句：easy→easily　考查副词用法。修饰动词see应用副词，所以easy改为easily。

75．第五句：is→was　考查动词时态。全文用的都是过去时，所以要把is改为was。

76．第六句：them→it　考查代词。这里指代的是park，所以要把them改为it。

77．第七句：删掉could后的not　考查句意。根据上下文可知这里应该是表肯定，所以把not删掉。

78．第九句：在第一个in后加a　考查固定搭配。固定短语in a hurry仓促；匆忙。

79．第十句：felt→feel　考查非谓语动词。make sb.do sth.使某人做某事，所以felt要改为feel。

80．第十一句：If→Although/Though　考查连词。句意：虽然我在那个教室学习时还是个孩子，但是我永远都忘不了它。根据句意可知要把If改为Although或Though。

The plan: turn the Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields，and then fill it with creatures from the earth.

This idea may sound like something from science fiction，but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.

This suggests the future for the “red planet” will be the main topic for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA this week. Leading researchers as well as science fiction writers will attend the event. It comes as NASA is preparing a multi­billion­dollar Mars research programme.

“Turning the Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction，”said Dr.Michael Meyer，NASA's senior scientist. “Now，with scientists exploring the reality，we can ask what are the real possibilities of changing the Mars.”

Most scientists agree that the Mars could be turned into a little earth，although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal. But many experts are shocked by the idea.

“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet，”said Paul Murdin from the Institute of Astronomy，Cambridge，UK.

Over the past months，scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms. Europe and America's robot explorers have found the proof that water，mixed with soil，exists in large amounts on the planet.

In addition，two different groups of scientists announced on March 28 that they had found signs of methane(甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere；the gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes(微生物) living in the red planet's soil.

But scientists such as Dr.Lisa Pratt，a biologist at Indiana University，say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little earth project.

“Before we have even discovered if there is life on the Mars，we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these native life forms，all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried in the soil，” said Dr.Lisa Pratt.

Monica Grady，a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum，London，shares this view.“We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious information we are looking for，” she said.“This is just wrong.”

语篇导读

本文是一篇科普说明文。在太空开拓人类新的生存领地一直是科幻小说的主题，也是人类一直希望实现的梦想。如今，美国的一部分科学家想把红色火星改造成蓝色的“生命天堂”。就这一提议且看科学家们唇枪舌剑辩得失。

24．The passage is about ________.

A．a plan turning the Mars into a little earth

B．the necessity of changing the Mars

C．finding water on the Mars

D．the Mars supporting life

解析：A　主旨大意题。由第一段可以看出，人们计划将火星变为一个小地球。后文就这一计划是否应该实施进行了探讨。故文章是围绕将火星变为小地球这一话题展开的。

25．Why is Dr.Lisa Pratt against the plan?

A．Water has been found on the Mars.

B．It will cost too much money and work.

C．The native life forms on the Mars would be destroyed.

D．The earth is being destroyed at an unbelievable speed.

解析：C　细节理解题。由倒数第三段可知，莉萨博士反对该计划的原因是担心火星上的微生物会受到破坏。

26．What could prove the existence of microbes living in the Mars' soil?

A．Liquid water on the Mars.

B．Some creatures on the Mars.

C．A lot of good soil on the Mars.

D．Signs of methane in the Mars' atmosphere.

解析：D　推理判断题。由倒数第四段可以看出，科学家在火星上发现了甲烷，而甲烷是生物排放出的一种气体。由此科学家认为火星上有微生物存在。

27．We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．water is a key factor for life；without it，living on the Mars would be impossible

B．the project won't affect the native life forms supposed to live on the Mars

C．the idea turning the Mars into a little earth is nothing but science fiction

D．Monica Grady is in favour of carrying out the little earth project

解析：A　推理判断题。由倒数第五段可知，科学家对于能够在火星上发现生物非常有自信，因为欧洲和美国的机器人已经发现了水存在的证据。由此我们可推知，水是生命存在的重要因素。

There have been many great inventions，which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things to travel long distances. For hundreds of years there were few inventions that have made as much effect as the wheel. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore(开发) much any more. They began to work to make life better instead.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera，the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions.The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928，and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man had a wish to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries，including China and Japan，have made their steps into space.

语篇导读

本文为说明文，文中介绍了几种与人们现实生活有关的伟大的发明。

28．The first great invention ever known was ________.

A．the camera B．the wheel

29．Which of the following was turned out nearly at the same time with the jet plane?

A．The radio. B．The camera.

C．Nylon. D．The helicopter.

解析：C　细节理解题 。根据第二段“…and jet planes in 1930.”及“Nylon came out in 1935.”可知这两种发明出现的时间几乎差不多，故选C项。

30．We can safely come to the conclusion that people's life will be made even better through ________.

A．new discoveries

B．greater inventions

C．better ways to get over diseases

D．all of above

解析：D　推理判断题。结合全文讲述的发明及重要发现，及第二段“The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases.”可知D比较全面。

31．This passage talks mainly about ________.

A．how inventions affect people's life

B．when electric light was invented

C．which country made the first step into space

D．why cars were very important

解析：A　主旨大意题。根据首段第一句及下文所述可知本文主要是介绍发明是如何影响人们的生活的。

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example，the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programmes come to US through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.________This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the Earth.Sometimes，it moves away from its orbit，so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.

Space is not empty! Every week，more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth.A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the Earth to be repaired.Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.

语篇导读

本文是一篇科普说明文。文章对各种卫星的用途、卫星工作的状态以及人们对已损坏卫星的处理办法进行了解释说明。

32．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A．Sending information for weather forecasts.

B．Taking photographs of the Earth.

C．Sending TV pictures.

D．Providing food for airplane pilots.

解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段和第三段首句不难看出，卫星可以传递天气预报信息、拍摄地球照片、传递电视图片等，但是没说为飞行员提供食物，所以选择D项。

33．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?

A．In order to take photographs.

B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.

C．In order to move away from its orbit.

D．In order to send television pictures.

解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可以看出，卫星之所以用和地球自转相同的速度绕地球旋转，是为了保持在一定位置上。显然B项正确。

34．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

A．A satellite.

B．A little rocket.

C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.

D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.

解析：C　词义猜测题。this在此替代前文的Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place，故选C项。

35．Which is true of satellites?

A．A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years.

B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.

C．A broken satellite is never left in space.

D．Broken satellites often crash into each other.

解析：A　细节理解题。根据最后一段不难看出A项正确。B项错在Every time；C项错在never；D项错在often，最后一句…they can crash into each other.中can“可能”在此表示对客观情况的推测，不是事实。

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability，money and time.__36__ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready？__37__

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __38__.It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3．__39__ This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. __40__ And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things.

B．Ability is easily improved.

C．Make three or four instead.

D．Understand your food better.

E．Cooking is a burden for many people.

F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

The days of carrying bottles of suncream to the beach could be over，as the world's first drinkable suncream __61__(launch)．

Harmonized H2O UV claims to provide holidaymakers __62__ up to a protection factor of 30，which means sunbathers could be able to soak up the rays for __63__(long) without fear of getting burned.

语篇导读

本文讲述了一家公司研制出了一种可以喝的防晒液。

61．was_launched/has_been_launched

解析：考查动词的时态和语态。本句的主语是suncream，与launch为被动关系，故用被动语态；且根据语境可知，此处指已发生的事，应用一般过去时或现在完成时。

62．with

解析：考查介词。provide sb.with sth.为某人提供某物，为固定搭配，故填with。

63．longer

解析：考查形容词的比较级。日光浴者可以更长时间地吸收辐射而不用担心会被晒伤。根据语境可知，空处应用形容词的比较级。

64．Once

解析：考查连词。根据“这种防晒液一旦被摄入”可知，此处应填入引导条件状语从句的引导词，故用Once，意为“一旦”。

65．which

解析：考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，修饰The suncream，故用which。
