As Tara pushed her daughter Norah around the store last month, she passed an old man who was by himself. The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship. Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife died in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since. The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr. Dan smile since the death of his wife. Knowing that Tara contacted Mr. Dan, and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other. “She has shown me a depth of love, a depth that I didn’t know existed,” Mr. Dan told the reporter. Mr. Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah, he hadn’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep. Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless. After meeting Norah, he said he now sleeps soundly. For Mr. Dan’s 82nd birthday on October 20, the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents—and, of course, cupcakes.

The Gold Coast certainly offers something for every member of our family. We all love heading down to the beach for an early morning swim or surf. The beaches feature some of the softest golden sand and pumping waves, making them ideal for surfing. Safety is important especially when I'm out with the kids, and I feel better knowing that lifeguards are continually on patrol（巡逻）. The long coas also offer the perfect setting for a leisurely walk at sunset-a favorite activity of mine. Then, of course, there’s the bargain-hunting in the city’s center. For shoppings goers there are amazing shopping centers boutiques and the usual chain stores. I always pick up loads of goodies at Pacific Fair. The Gold Coast is popular for its theme parks-Sea World, Wamer Bros Movie World and Dream World. The seal and dolphin presentations at Sea World keep both children and adults on the edge of their seats as the sea creatures go through a series of complicated jumps, flips and rolls. It’s great entertainment and an educational window to the underwater world for the kids. Our kids also enjoy meeting the characters at Movie World and watching how real movies are made. Night-time is equally fun, as we usually set off to find the best local restaurants and cafes. The mix of cultures and influences has given the Gold Coast a wide variety of choices, including modem Australian, Italian, Asian and seafood, although sometimes nothing beats fish and chips! A visit to the Gold Coast in the Sunshine State is worthwhile and fun. 38. Why does the author consider the Gold Coast as her ideal holiday destination? A. There are a lot of shopping centers. B.

For shoppings goers there are amazing shopping centers boutiques and the usual chain stores. 当然，在 市中心有讨价还价的人。对于购物中心的游客来说，这里有令人惊叹的购物中心精品店和通 常的连锁商店。由此推知，C 项符合题意。 【40 题详解】 段落大意题。根据第四段第一句 The Gold Coast is popular for its theme parks-Sea World, Wamer Bros Movie World and Dream World.可知本段讲述的是“主题公园都提供什么”，故选 A。 【41 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句 Night-time is equally fun, as we usually set off to find the best local restaurants and cafes.夜晚同样有趣，因为我们通常会出发去寻找当地最好的餐馆和咖 啡馆。可推断，各种各样的食品选择使 the Gold Coast 的夜晚对游客有吸引力。故选 D。 【点睛】做词义猜测题时要利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推 测词义。最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识推断词义。切记抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容 是做题的关键。本题第 2 小题，根据第三段中 Then, of course, there’s the bargain-hunting in the city’s center.

That’s when you realize that they make no sense. Why do people keep these uninteresting, pointless little plants outside their homes? They’re not beautiful like flowers, they don’t provide food and you have to take care of them constantly. Israeli bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari thought these deeds were weird too. He looked into their history and ended up with an interesting story. No one considered putting patches of grass outside their homes in ancient times. That changed in the Middle Ages, when French and English kings and nobles started putting patches of grass at their castle entrances. “Well-kept lawns demand land and a lot of work,” wrote Harari in his book. “In exchange, they produce nothing of value.” Peasants could never afford to waste their time or land on lawns, so these lawns were a perfect status symbol（身份的象征）for nobility（高贵）. When the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th and 19th centuries, the middle classes started being able to afford their own suburban（郊区的）houses. And guess what became the suburban status symbol? A perfectly kept lawn. The popularity of lawns continued to grow, taking over public event spaces and sports. In the past, people played sports on all kinds of surfaces—dirt, ice, sand. But in the last couple centuries, they made the switch to green grass. “Grass is nowadays the most widespread crop in the USA after corn and wheat,” Harari continued. Lawns spread beyond Europe and the U.S, and they’re now status symbols around the world. Suburban people may not realize it, but they care for lawns just because centuries ago, French and English kings wanted to show off by intentionally planting something useless. It’s strange that people should continue to spend so much time and money on what’s really a leftover（遗留物）from the Middle Ages. When you plan your house, you can shake off（摆脱）the cultural leftover and imagine for yourself a rock garden or some other new creation. 42. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. strange B. ordinary C. beneficial D. attractive 43. What could lawns indicate in the 19th century? A. Environmental awareness. B. People’s taste. C. Cultural background. D. Personal wealth. 44. What is the author’s attitude towards keeping lawns? A. Uncaring. B. Disapproving. C. Favorable. D. unclear. 45. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Function of Lawns B. The Value of Lawns C. The History of Lawns D. The Management of Lawns 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是草坪的历史。 【42 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中 Why do people keep these uninteresting, pointless little plants outside their homes?“为什么人们会把这些无趣的、毫无意义的小植物留在家里？” They’re not beautiful like flowers, they don’t provide food and you have to take care of them constantly.“它们 不像花朵那样美丽，它们不提供食物，你必须不断地照顾它们”和第二段 Israeli bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari thought these deeds were weird too.（以色列畅销作家 Yuval Noah Harari 认为这些行为也很怪异。） He looked into their history and ended up with an interesting story.“他 研究了他们的历史，最后得到了一个有趣的故事。”由此可知，划线词的意思是“奇怪的”， 故选 A。 【43 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句 these lawns were a perfect status symbol（身份的象征）for nobility（高贵）. 和第五段 When the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th and 19th centuries, the middle classes started being able to afford their own suburban“ 郊 区的 ”houses. And guess what became the suburban status symbol? A perfectly kept lawn.可知，在 19 世纪，草坪能显示出个人 财富。故选 D。 【44 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 It’s strange that people should continue to spend so much time and money on what’s really a leftover from the Middle Ages. When you plan your house, you can shake off（摆脱）the cultural leftover and imagine for yourself a rock garden or some other new creation. 真奇怪，人们竟然继续在中世纪遗留下来的东西上花费那么多时间和金钱。当你规划你的房 子时，你可以摆脱文化遗留物，为自己想象一个岩石花园或其他新的创造。可推断作者对保 持草坪的态度是“不赞成”，故选 B。 【45 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中 He looked into their history and ended up with an interesting story.及 全文可知，本文主要介绍的是草坪的历史。故选 C。 【点睛】弄清文章的大意，关键是找到主题句。主题句的位置：主题句通常在文首、文末或 首尾呼应，有时也在文中，或没有主题句，需根据文章所述内容进行归纳。各段的主题句也 常在该段的首句或尾句。议论文和说明文一般有主题句，但记叙文通常没有主题句，需要归 纳。本题第 4 小题，根据第一段中 Lawns“草坪”are some of the most common things in the world until you really start thinking about them. That’s when you realize that they make no sense.可知，本 文讲述的是 Lawns 的历史。故选 C。 第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，共 10 分） Not too long ago, a young man asked me a question: how do you make study more fun? You can improve your study habits and make your process more enjoyable. It’s a matter of many things.

When the timer goes off, give yourself a few minutes to relax, drink some water, etc. ___49___ Reward yourself Sweet treats and other snacks often come to mind as a “reward”, and that might work for you, but it’s also probably not a great idea to eat a bag of potato chips after every 25-minute study session.

Having listened to the social workers introduction, I found the activity quite meaningful and decided to take part. That Sunday, most of my neighbours gathered for the start of the activity. Since my mom was fond of flowers, we chose Chinese roses. Together with my parents, I carefully planted the flower seedlings and gently watered them. A few days later, I was surprised to see our photos of planting flowers posted on the bulletin board in our community. My neighbours and I recalled the activity and talked a lot about how to take care of the plants. Now looking after plants has become part of my life.
