Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!‎ During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”‎ After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.‎ I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and concerned looks, and the table was covered with untouched plates.‎ - 28 -‎ ‎“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.‎ The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.‎ And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.‎ ‎4. Why did the author hide himself and cry on the Thanksgiving Day?‎ A. Because he got up too late B. Because some of his family were absent.‎ C. Because he thought the dinner was tasteless.‎ D. Because he doubted the sincerity of others’ thankfulness.‎ ‎5. What can we know about the author’s mother according to the text?‎ A. She is very understanding. B. She is strict with the author.‎ C. She disagreed with the author. D. She showed great worry about the author.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. Having dinner. B. Expressing thankfulness.‎ C. Giving a performance. D. Making a wish.‎ ‎7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. My loving mother B. Love and lies C. An inspiring Thanksgiving D. An unforgettable dinner ‎【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在14岁的感恩节发现大家都是在假装感恩，非常失望，拒绝吃饭，后来饿了去吃饭时，发现大家都在等他，而后明白了，感恩节给了人们机会，能看见自己爱的人。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段“No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend - 28 -‎ ‎ for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”可知，没有人真的感激，我哭泣着说，他们只是在这一天假装这样，因为他们应该这样做。因此，在感恩节的时候，作者哭泣和躲起来是因为他怀疑别人感恩的诚意。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not.可知，我说完后，她点头说“你是对的。在你发现真相之前都是假的。”她说，要不要和他们一起庆祝是我的选择。由此可以看出，作者的妈妈是善解人意（understanding）的，没有因为作者的表现生气或者责备他。故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.可知，最后，我说我感恩有一个可以一起学习、玩耍和长大的弟弟。因此可以看出，it指代的“表达感恩”（Expressing thankfulness）。故选B。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段Something strange happened when I was 14 years old. Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!可知，在我14岁时，一些奇怪的事情发生了。每一个珍贵的感恩节我都兴奋地起很早。但是那个感恩节，不知道为什么，我没理由庆祝。我意识到，我的家人都不是真的感恩。整件事情就是个谎言；根据最后一段For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.可知，对我而言，这个假期是一个机会，让我可以停下来，反思我关心的一切。因此，文章是“一个鼓舞人心的感恩节”。故选C。‎ C Recently according to a new research, humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for up to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the soil during the time of the ice Age’s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoing study into the history of Middle Stone Age communities.‎ An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch - 28 -‎ ‎ consumption in the Klasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths(壁炉) inside the cave, the researchers found “pieces of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to 65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.‎ The findings do not come as a complete surprise — but rather as welcome confirmation of older theories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had previously only been genetic biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans’ digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion of starch.‎ Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎), these cave communities were gilling starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”‎ As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave. Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, the proper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beings have always been searching for their desired things.‎ ‎8. When did humans begin to farm starches?‎ A. After the Ice Age. B. After the Middle Stone Age.‎ C. About 20,000 years ago. D. About 100,000 years ago.‎ ‎9. What was the previous assumption of starches?‎ A. Starch diet promoted food culture. B. Starch diet shaped humans’ evolution.‎ C. Starches had a variety of functions. D. Starches offered humans rich nutrition.‎ - 28 -‎ ‎10. What can we learn about the early humans described by Sarah Wurz?‎ A. They were smart and tough. B. They preferred plants to meat.‎ C. They were generally very healthy. D. They got along with each other.‎ ‎11. What’s the best title for the text?‎ A. Great Civilization of South Africa B. The Evolution of Foods in History C. Starches--the Important Food of Today D. Big Findings--the Starches in Ancient Times ‎【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。研究发现人类和含淀粉类食物的关系可追溯到120,000多年前。比我们种植淀粉类植物的历史还要早100,000 多年。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第1段Recently according to a new research, humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for up to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the soil可知，人类种植含淀粉食物晚了100,000多年。故时间大约是在20,000 年前左右。故选C项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第3段This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans’ digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion of starch可知，原先对淀粉的猜测是人类的消化基因是为了适应不断增加的淀粉消化而逐渐进化的。故选B项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第4段The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎), these cave communities were gilling starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals可知，早期人类可以与恶劣的环境作斗争，他们找到了适合他们的食物，并且知道了如何尽可能地平衡自己的饮食，食用当地鱼类和其他动物的脂肪。由此可知，他们很辛苦也很聪明。故选A项。‎ - 28 -‎ ‎11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。文章第1段说，研究发现人类和含淀粉类的食物关系可追溯到120,000多年前。比我们种植淀粉类植物的历史还要早100,000 多年。后文还提到了，含淀粉类食物促进了人类的演化。综合分析可知，本篇讲述的是一个关于古代淀粉的发现。故选D项。‎ D A book is so much more than mere ink and paper. So insist French booksellers, who for nearly four decades successfully persuade the government to keep the forces of the free market at bay. A law passed in 1981 bans the sale of any book at anything other than the price decided by its publisher. Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sell the latest Thomas Piketty or J.K Rowling at a discount.‎ The fixed-price rule is meant to keep customers loyal to their local bookshop and out of the control of supermarkets and corporations. But the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers has promoted questions worthy of their own tomes(大部头著作). Can you fix the price of a book if it is part of an all-you-can-read subscription service? Are audio-books books at all? And what of authors who self-publish?‎ Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”. In 2011, the rule began to apply to digital tomes. Free delivery by online sellers was prohibited because it implied a subsidy(补贴) on the delivered books (encouraging online sellers to charge only €0.01 for postage). But a new challenge to the policy is proving more difficult to deal with.‎ Used books are exempted from the pricing rule. Third-party sellers on Amazon are accused of using this as a way to apply forbidden discounts: selling brand-new books as “second hand” to make them cheaper. So fans can purchase a copy of the latest Michel Houellebecq novel Serotonine for 11.71 pounds on Amazon, roughly half of its original price. Its seller claims it is in “perfectly new” condition.‎ Amazon claims its practices are legal. But books sellers are upset, and their political allies with them. “This is a major concern,” said Franck Riester, the culture minister, at a bookseller’s conference this week. He says new laws may be needed.‎ Defenders of the fixed-price principle (which has spread to other parts of Europe)‎ - 28 -‎ ‎ say it helps keep independent bookshops alive. Others are not so sure. Books are expensive in France — an odd way to encourage people to buy more.‎ ‎12. What was the function of the law passed in 1981?‎ A. To stop publishers from publishing poor books.‎ B. To prevent the random price of books in the market.‎ C. To help book consumers benefit from the free market.‎ D. To encourage French booksellers to sell cheaper books.‎ ‎13. What’s implied about the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers in Paragraph 2?‎ A. It greatly changed people’s reading habits.‎ B. It challenged the principle of “one book, one price”.‎ C. It weakened the ties between publishers and authors.‎ D. It provided local booksellers with some new opportunities.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined part “are exempted from” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. are involved in. B. are threatened by.‎ C. are consistent with. D. are unrestricted by.‎ ‎15. What is Franck Riester’s attitude towards those third-party sellers’ practices on Amazon?‎ A. He is hopeful of them. B. He is uncertain of them.‎ C. He disapproves of them. D. He is indifferent to them.‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了购买书籍的固定价格规则以及出售图书面临的新问题。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段A law passed in 1981 bans the sale of any book at anything other than the price decided by its publisher. Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sell the latest Thomas Piketty or J.K Rowling at a discount. 1981年通过的一项法律禁止以出版商决定的价格以外的任何价格出售任何书籍。当局者正在打击那些试图以折扣价出售最新的托马斯·皮凯蒂（Thomas Piketty）或J.K·罗琳（J.K Rowling）书籍的人。可知，1981年通过的法律是为了防止图书在市场上随意定价。故选B项。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ - 28 -‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段But the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers has promoted questions worthy of their own tomes(大部头著作).但是，电子商务和电子阅读器的到来，提出了一些值得自己思考的问题。及第三段Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”. 为了保持“一本书，一个价格”的原则，已经做了一些修改。推测，电子商务和电子阅读器的到来意味着它挑战了“一本书，一个价格”的原则。故选B项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。结合后文Third-party sellers on Amazon are accused of using this as a way to apply forbidden discounts: selling brand-new books as “second hand” to make them cheaper. 亚马逊的第三方卖家被指控利用这一点来实施禁止的折扣：将全新的书籍作为“二手”出售，以使其更便宜。推测前文Used books are exempted from the pricing rule. 旧书不受定价规则的约束。因此are exempted from 意为“不受限制的。”故选D项。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is a major concern,” said Franck Riester, the culture minister, at a bookseller’s conference this week. He says new laws may be needed. “这是一个重大问题，”文化部长Franck Riester在本周的一次书商会议上说。他说可能需要新的法律。可知，Franck Riester不赞成那些第三方卖家在亚马逊的做法。故选C项。‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 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。‎ Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions.‎ Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. ___16___ When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling.‎ Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head ___17___ If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed.‎ Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do ‎ - 28 -‎ can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser, you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 a.m. and keep on it. ___18___ ‎ Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. ___19___ Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do to make a better decision next time.‎ ‎___20___ For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end.‎ A. Maintain a flexible approach.‎ B. Enjoy the process of making decisions.‎ C. That’s the same as not making a decision at all.‎ D. It always takes a lot of time to make a decision.‎ E. Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen.‎ F. So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it.‎ G. You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.‎ ‎【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了做决定时应该注意的问题。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 结合后文When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling. (当你决定拿起一支烟来抽的时候，这个决定可能会导致你一支接一支地抽，从而获得同样的快感。)E. Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen. 你所做的任何决定都会导致一连串的事件发生。符合后文描述，一旦决定了抽一支烟就会导致一连串地一直抽烟。故选E项。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 结合前文It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your - 28 -‎ ‎ head.(做一个决定并把它记在脑子里是没有意义的)C. That’s the same as not making a decision at all. 这和根本不做决定是一样的。承接上文没有意义的决定和不做决定是一样的。故选C项。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 结合前文Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through.(告诉别人我们要做什么可以让我们坚持到底。)G. You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word. 你之所以能做到这一点，是因为你觉得守信是一种义务。解释前文告诉别人可以让我们坚持到底的原因。故选G项。‎ ‎19题详解】‎ 结合前文It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. (在做决定的时候，你常常会陷入困境。)F. So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it. 所以，与其为此痛打自己，不如从中吸取教训。给出前文陷入困境时的解决办法和态度。故选F项。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 结合后文For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end. (例如，如果你下个月决定通过有氧运动减肥10磅。你不必只做有氧运动。你可以通过不同的节食方法来减肥，只要它能帮助你最终达到你的目标。想要减肥不一定只靠一种方法，可以采取多种方法达到同一目的。)A. Maintain a flexible approach. 保持灵活的方法。符合本段大意。故选A项。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30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。‎ I had worked for long at the same dead-end job with no pay increases.

I’m fearful that I will lose the track of my old friends, so I decide to keep touch with them by joining a social network. Therefore, my father doesn’t agree with me. He insisted that I should make several new friends near where I live now. Their words make me feel confusing. After a second thought, I still think it is unwise to losing old friends. As an old saying going, “Old friends and old wine are best.” I do believe they are of great significant in my life.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是记叙文。作者搬到新城市，开始在新学校学习。但依然和老朋友保持联系。作者认为老朋友在生活中是很重要的。‎ ‎【详解】1.考查定语从句的引导词。句意：我刚搬到新城市，这意味着我不得不在新学校学习。分析句子结构可知，逗号后是非限定性定语从句，引导词指代的是整个主句的内容，因此使用which引导定语从句。故将where改为which。‎ - 28 -‎ ‎2.考查固定短语。句意：我担心自己会失去老朋友，因此我决定加入社交网络与他们保持联系。lose track of是固定短语，意为“跟不上……的进展，不再掌握……的最新情况”。故将the去掉。‎ ‎3.考查固定短语。句意：我担心自己会失去老朋友，因此我决定加入社交网络与他们保持联系。keep in touch with sb是固定短语，意为“和某人保持联系”。故在keep后面加in。‎ ‎4.考查副词。句意：然而，我父亲不同意我的看法。副词前后的两句话在逻辑上是转折关系。故将 Therefore改为However。‎ ‎5.考查时态及主谓一致。句意：他坚持要我在现在住的地方结交几个新朋友。由上下文的语境可知，本句应使用一般现在时，句子主语是He，insist应使用单数形式。故将insisted改为insists。‎ ‎6.考查人称代词。句意：他的话让我感到困惑。由上文可知，此处是指父亲的话语。故将 Their改为His。‎ ‎7.考查非谓语动词。句意：他的话让我感到困惑。confusing：使人困惑的，通常用于修饰物；confused：感到困惑的，通常用于修饰人。形容宾语me的感受，应使用confused。故将confusing改为confused。‎ ‎8.考查动词不定式。句意：经过一番思考，我仍然认为失去老朋友是不明智的。此处的形式主语it指代的是具体的一次性动作，应该使用动词不定式。故将losing改为lose。‎ ‎9.考查习惯表达。句意：俗话说：“老朋友和老酒最好”。as an old saying goes：俗话说，它是习惯用法。故将going改为goes。‎ ‎10.考查固定用法。句意：我相信他们在我的生活中是很重要的。“be + of +名词”为固定搭配，相当于“be+形容词”，即be of significance相当于be significant。故将significant改为significance。‎ ‎【点睛】“be of+名词”的用法 一、“be of+抽象名词”，这时的of短语相当于这个名词的同根形容词，作为表语表示主语的性质或特征。of的意思是“具有、具备”等，常用于该结构的名词常见的有of use=useful；of no use=useless；of importance=important等。如： The matter is of great importance. =The matter is very important. ‎ - 28 -‎ 在形容词前常用very来修饰，在“of+抽象名词”结构中，名词前常用great, much等来修饰。 二、“be of+集合名词或其它类型的名词”，相当于belong to或have。of表示归属关系或“有”的意思。如：The army and the people are of one family. =The army and the people belong to one family.军民是一家。 三、“be of+物质名词”表示主语是“用某种材料构成或制作的”，相当于be made of或be built of。如：Our building was of bricks. =Our building was built of bricks. 我们的楼房是砖建的。 四、be of+(表示种类、颜色、年龄、形状、价格等）名词，多用来表示主语的特征。这类结构的主语可以是人，也可以是物，其中的of可以省略。常用于该结构的名词有：kind，　age，　color， size， height，　shape， type，　way， price等。如： Several of the stamps were of the unusual kind.其中几张邮票是不同种类的。 The two boys are of the same age.这两个男孩年龄相同。‎ 小题10考查固定用法。句意：我相信他们在我的生活中是很重要的。“be + of +名词”为固定搭配，相当于“be+形容词”，即be of significance相当于be significant。故将significant改为significance。这是上面的第一种情况。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.假如你是班长李华，你们班的外教 Smith 最近生病住院了,请代表你们班的同学给他写封慰问信，内容包括:‎ ‎1. 表示难过； 2. 感谢他的付出； 3. 希望给他一些帮助。‎ 注意：1. 词数:100左右；‎ ‎2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ Dear Smith,‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ - 28 -‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua ‎【答案】Dear Smith,‎ We’re sorry to hear you’re ill and have been in hospital for several days.
