Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.‎ Your horse Shannon sounds beautiful. I am very jealous (羡慕的) that you get to live on a farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.‎ Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.‎ I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in Central Park.

Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, cars, and people in ‎ tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warmhearted people, and getting home at 2：30 p．m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.‎ Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I've ever experienced.From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it's OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.‎ ‎5．How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?‎ A．Excited and satisfied.‎ B．Confused and shocked.‎ C．Amazed and embarrassed.‎ D．Delighted and interested.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据首段中的“I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.”可知，作者听到这个消息很迷惑；再结合第三段中的“So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked.”可知，选项B正确。‎ ‎6．Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?‎ A．He didn't like Spain.‎ B．He wanted to learn Hungarian.‎ C．It was a rare chance.‎ D．Going to Hungary was much cheaper.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I decided to make the best of it, since it was, after all, a onceinalifetime opportunity.”可知，作者决定充分利用这次机会，因为毕竟这是一次千载难逢的机会，所以选项C正确。a rare chance“一次罕见的机会”。‎ ‎7．What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?‎ A．He fell in love with eating carrots.‎ B．He couldn't wait to leave.‎ C．He was surprised by the landscape.‎ D．He quickly got used to the life there.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The change in the landscape was amazing”可知选项C正确。‎ ‎8．According to Jonathan, the host family ________.‎ A．changed him completely B．taught him how to dance well C．treated him as equally as a student D．showed him the good things of life 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者从寄宿家庭那里学到了很多人生哲学，他们向作者展现了生活中美好的事情，故选项D正确。‎ C My friend Emily has three amazingly wellbehaved children.They put their toys away when she tells them to, go to bed without making any noise, and even settle their own disagreements or quarrels.I actually witnessed her 3yearold son John calmly asking for a truck back from a friend who had pulled it out of his hands suddenly.‎ Emily admits that her children have their moments — “They are kids after all！” — but she says that real discipline (纪律) challenges are not very often.“What's your secret？” I once asked, hoping she could impart some muchneeded wisdom.“Do you threaten them with punishment, give them timeouts or praise them with prizes？” I asked.Emily shook her head and said, “Nothing like that.If I've done anything right, it's that I've made it clear what I expect from them from the beginning.Now, all I have to do is set them an example and shoot them a look, and they know to control their behavior and obey rules.”‎ It may sound too good to be true, but experts agree that Emily has the right idea about teaching kids to behave.“When you make your expectations clear from the time your children are old enough to learn to walk, they accept or absorb those expectations and begin to expect the same thing from themselves，” says Sharon K．Hall, author of Raising Kids in the 21st Century.In other words, since kids naturally want to please their parents, they'll try to behave in the way that you've taught them to.In fact, experts say that kids as young as 18 months can understand and respond to their parents' expectations.‎ There is good news: Teaching selfcontrol to a young child isn't as worrying as it sounds.“If you set out firm rules, tell them why, offer lots of praise and follow rules yourself at around age 2, your child will catch on faster, resist less, and finally behave better，” says Sharon.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者向朋友询问如何让孩子行为举止优秀，朋友的回答看似简单，其实蕴含着很深的道理。‎ ‎9．Why does the author mention John in the first paragraph?‎ A．To explain why he is so violent.‎ B．To indicate he behaves well.‎ C．To describe his dislike of quarrels.‎ D．To show his unwillingness to share.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。第一段主要描述了朋友的孩子所表现出的优秀的行为举止，作者具体列举的John的例子正是要说明这一点。‎ ‎10．What does the underlined word “impart” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Offer.　　　　　　　 B．Prove.‎ C．Accept. D．Question.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。由画线词的上下文内容可知，作者希望朋友可以透露自己是如何让孩子的行为变得如此优秀。‎ ‎11．What leads children to meet parents' expectations according to Sharon?‎ A．Being taught selfcontrol.‎ B．Longing for parents' praise.‎ C．Hoping to make parents happy.‎ D．Worrying about being punished.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第三段的“In other words, since kids naturally want to please their parents, they'll try to behave in the way that you've taught them to.”可知，孩子会为了取悦父母而遵守父母制定的规则。‎ ‎12．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．What rules should parents set out for kids?‎ B．When should kids be taught selfcontrol?‎ C．The key to getting along well with kids D．The secret to raising wellbehaved kids 解析：选D　标题归纳题。综合全文内容可知，文章是就“如何培养孩子优秀的行为举止”展开的。‎ D For most of us, when we think of sports, we think of playing basketball at a neighborhood court or taking tennis classes at a local fitness club.But for some, sports mean something different: skydiving (跳伞) from an airplane thousands of feet above ground or snowboarding down the steepest of hills.Such sports are called extreme sports.Extreme sports are activities, mostly practiced by young people that involve great speed or height, present a certain element (元素) of danger, and require specialized equipment.And they are practiced by individuals who, rather than helping a team to win victory, push themselves to their own physical limits, overcoming personal and environmental obstacles (障碍) to achieve a personal goal.‎ Extreme sports give people the chance to do what they want.For example, instead of going scuba diving, which focuses on safety and the proper use of equipment, why not try and reach great underwater depths without the assistance of breathing equipment, a sport known as “freediving”？‎ The X Games, held every summer and winter, are the Olympics of extreme sports.They are ‎ viewed by millions of people worldwide, and some of the athletes' faces might also be seen in Olympic events, like snowboarding or ski jumping.Fewer young people take up baseball or football, and many are in favor of sports like cave diving, kite surfing, or bungee jumping.‎ Extreme sports are big business, because they have become so popular.Corporations have realized that they can make a lot of money by buying expensive advertising time during the X Games or hiring a wellknown athlete to advertise a product.Extreme sports fashion has also become a huge moneymaker for corporations.The loose clothing by bigname designers, along with the accessories (装饰品) such as sunglasses, hats, and gloves, are expensive, lending weight to the argument that extreme sports have gone with the greed of large companies.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。极限运动是一项可以最大限度地发挥自我身心潜能，向自身挑战的娱乐体育运动，悄然成为都市青年最流行、最持久的时尚运动。‎ ‎13．What do we know about extreme sports?‎ A．They are popular with every age group.‎ B．They are friendly to the environment.‎ C．They can guarantee people's safety.‎ D．They are generally not team sports.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，极限运动不是一项团体运动。‎ ‎14．What is stressed in Paragraph 3?‎ A．The great rise in popularity of extreme sports.‎ B．The reasons why many people choose extreme sports.‎ C．The fight between extreme sports and traditional sports.‎ D．The difference between the X Games and the Olympics.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，本段主要讲的是极限运动越来越受人们的欢迎。‎ ‎15．What's the author's attitude to extreme sports fashion?‎ A．Unconcerned. B．Approving.‎ C．Unfavorable. D．Optimistic 解析：选C　作者态度题。根据最后一段的“lending weight to the argument that extreme sports have gone with the greed of large companies”可知，作者对极限运动风气并不赞同。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Closed circuit television (闭路电视监控系统), called CCTV for short, is everywhere in today's society.__1__ If you take a bus to school, there will be a camera on it.When you go to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camera will be watching you walk around the shop.If you look up, you'll see cameras on many street corners, at bus stops and even in some public toilets.In 2016, an article published in The Guardian stated that there was one camera for every 11 people in ‎ Britain.__2__‎ CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help the police catch people who committed crime.__3__ Sometimes the pictures aren't clear enough to identify people.Often, criminals cover their faces to avoid being caught.Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been used in the UK, which warn criminals that their photos have been taken.‎ ‎__4__ As a nation, we rely on it far too much.At what point did we decide to replace police officers with technology? __5__ If more police were around, I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain have used CCTV in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms.They say it helps prevent bullying (欺凌)．Does it mean nothing else could be done instead?‎ A．Do we really have so much CCTV around?‎ B．Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV.‎ C．However, CCTV does not always have all the answers.‎ D．In my opinion, CCTV has been beyond reasonable limits.‎ E．There are around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain.‎ F．CCTV has the potential to be a weapon in the fight against crime.‎ G．In fact, when we go about our everyday lives, it is impossible to avoid it.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了遍布英国的闭路电视监控系统以及作者对此现象的看法。‎ ‎1．选G　根据本空后所列举的情况可推知，此处是要说明在日常生活中，我们已不可能避开闭路电视监控系统。‎ ‎2．选E　根据本空前所给出的数据可知，此处与上句构成顺接关系，具体说明英国闭路电视监控系统拥有惊人数目的监控摄像头。‎ ‎3．选C　根据上下文内容可知，本空与上句构成对比，且与下句构成顺接关系，即闭路电视监控系统并不总能给出答案。‎ ‎4．选D　根据最后一段内容可知，本空是该段的主题句：在作者看来，人们对闭路电视监控系统的使用太过了；整段内容都是对该观点的说明。‎ ‎5．选B　本空与下句构成对比。一些人支持闭路电视监控系统是因为他们认为这样更安全，作者对此提出反驳意见：如果周围有更多的警察，人们也一样会感觉安全。‎
