There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
24. What’s the function of food mentioned in the article
A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history. D. To show a community’s superiority.
25. What does the underlined “it”in Paragraph2 refer to
A The specific traditional food. B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste.
26. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
27. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A. Negative. B. Balanced.
C. Unfair. D. Unchangeable.
C
Entering the main office of the Anderson Center, it's not uncommon to hear music, since the property has long served as an artists’ community.
But recently, the sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.
Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program, “He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential,” said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.
Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him, Baton is a “special person”—a little quiet, but with very deep feelings. When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.
Barton begged his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had to really practice and become a good guzheng player.
Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton couldn't find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话). At the same time, he accustomed his body to “feeling” guzheng music.
Barton recently uploaded his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great!” or “This foreigner can play our music.”
Music goes beyond nationality. You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.
28. Why was Barton the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program
A. His grandmother insisted.
B. He was the first to play guzheng.
C. His skills and talent were impressive.
D. He was one of the few who could play guzheng.
29 How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng
A. Puzzled. B. Excited.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
30. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean
A Music is the best way to communicate.
B. Music can be spread far and wide.
C. Music is a universal language.
D. Music can go further.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote a music program.
B. To advertise the Anderson Center.
C. To persuade foreigner to play guzheng.
D. To introduce the great power of music.
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to becoming farmers, and their languages became more settled and fewer in number, too. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory (强制的) education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages and close to disappear, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
32. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected.
33. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2
A. Difficult. B. Advanced.
C. Powerful. D. Modern.
34. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400.
C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.

Dear Editor,
Recently our school has set up a rule that no student allowed to take their mobiles into class, which has aroused a lot of discussions among we students.
Many of the students feel strong against the rule arguing that the mobile had become a necessary part of our life. They also consider that a must for us to get relaxing from our busy studies.
When it comes to me, like some other student I hold a different opinion. While a mobile phone can help us get some relief, with it we can be more devoted to our studies, but spare more time to communicate with those around us. Therefore, I believe in this school rule is beneficial to every student.
Yours,
Li Hua

【原文】W:Hello,everyone! My name is Jenny Marshall,and I want to tell you about my recent school trip to a place called Markham.Our teacher,Mr. Griffiths,who actually teaches us maths, is also really interested in geography, so he wanted to take us there -and he thought we'd get material for other subjects like art and photography,too.
I was surprised to find that the cave we were in was completely dry, apart from a stream that ran right through it, which I wanted to examine a bit more closely. And there was also a waterfall that dropped into a black hole at the back of the cave. Needless say, no one really wanted to explore that part!
The guide also asked us what different shapes we could see in the rocks. Many people thought one rock was shaped like a snake, and several in my group thought hey saw a horse in another rock, but I didn't manage to see anything more exciting than a rock that looked a bit like a rabbit.
The final part of our visit was to an exhibition about the history of the caves. We saw videos about how the caves were explored, and photos of the brave divers who first went into the caves, But I was even more impressed by the machines we were shown. They really brought the history of the place to life for me.

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
24. What’s the function of food mentioned in the article
A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history. D. To show a community’s superiority.
25. What does the underlined “it”in Paragraph2 refer to
A. The specific traditional food. B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste.
26. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D To present their own food culture in a new way.
27. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A. Negative. B. Balanced.
C Unfair. D. Unchangeable.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】

Entering the main office of the Anderson Center, it's not uncommon to hear music, since the property has long served as an artists’ community.
But recently, the sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.
Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program, “He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential,” said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.
Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him, Baton is a “special person”—a little quiet, but with very deep feelings. When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.
Barton begged his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had to really practice and become a good guzheng player.
Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton couldn't find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话). At the same time, he accustomed his body to “feeling” guzheng music.
Barton recently uploaded his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great!” or “This foreigner can play our music.”
Music goes beyond nationality. You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.
28. Why was Barton the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program
A. His grandmother insisted.
B. He was the first to play guzheng.
C. His skills and talent were impressive.
D. He was one of the few who could play guzheng.
29. How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng
A. Puzzled. B. Excited.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
30. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Music is the best way to communicate.
B. Music can be spread far and wide.
C. Music is a universal language.
D. Music can go further.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote a music program.
B To advertise the Anderson Center.
C. To persuade foreigner to play guzheng.
D. To introduce the great power of music.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了美国男孩Barton学习中国乐器古筝的经过，阐释了音乐无国界的道理。
【28题详解】

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings.”（当他第一次看到古筝的照片时，他试图用一个木制茶盘和吉他弦来制作自己的古筝。）可知，Barton对古筝充满热情，内心是激动的。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.”（不管你说什么语言，你都可以学习乐器。你可以学习任何你喜欢的乐器，创作音乐与人们分享。）可知，无论说哪种语言，任何人都可以学习乐器，也可以创造音乐与人们分享，任何人都可以理解音乐，即音乐无国界，音乐为通用语言。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章的最后一段可知，本文用Barton学习古筝的例子阐释了音乐无国界以及音乐有无穷力量的道理。故选D项。

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to becoming farmers, and their languages became more settled and fewer in number, too. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory (强制的) education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages and close to disappear, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
32. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected.
33. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2
A. Difficult. B. Advanced.
C. Powerful. D. Modern.
34. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400.
C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了最近一段时间，语言出现的少，消失的多，随着社会和工业化的发展，语言消失地越来越快。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.”（一些语言专家认为，一万年前，当世界上只有五百万到一千万人口时，他们之间可能会说12000种语言。）可知，在狩猎时代，人口少，语言种类却很多。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory (强制的) education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear,”（近几个世纪来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和普及义务教育的普及，特别是过去几十年来的全球化和更好的交流，都导致许多语言消失，）以及单词后“such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.”（例如英语、西班牙语和汉语等语言正日益占据上风。）可知，许多语言已经消失，而英语、西班牙语和汉语等语言日益占据上风，推测划线词汇dominant表示“主导的”，与powerful同义。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.”（全球不同语言使用人数的中位数只有6000，这意味着世界上一半语言的使用者少于6000人。）以及第三段“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.”（目前，世界上大约有6800种语言。）可知，现在使用者少于6000人的语言大约有3400种。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going”（但是最近一段时间，出现的少，消失的多）以及第二段内容可知，随着人类社会的发展，很多语言已经消失，即人类的发展使得语言的种类变少。故选C项。

【答案】 ①. do ②. the ③. trick
【解析】
【详解】考查动词原形。句意：有时单凭气味就能达到目的，更不用说那可爱的奶油味了，它就像一台时光机，能立即把我带回阳光明媚的童年。do the trick达到目的，起作用。情态动词can后接动词原形。根据汉语提示及句意，故填①do ②the ③trick。

【答案】served
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：每个人的舒适食物在很大程度上取决于他们来自哪里——对于一个英国本土人来说，这可能是经典的炸鱼和薯条，被端上来时是热的、咸的和酸的。空处应用非谓语动词作状语，且serve与the classic fish and chips之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式作。故填served。
63. To love and ________ (love) is the greatest happiness in the world. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】to be loved##be loved
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：爱和被爱是世界上最大的幸福。由“To love and ”可知，空处也应填入动词不定式，与to love并列作主语，结合句意可知应用不定式的被动式“to be loved”，表示“被爱”，并列情况下，第二个不定式符号to可以省略，故填to be loved或be loved。
64. Each ________ (spoon) of this amazing dessert is a light, creamy experience to remember. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】spoonful
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：每一勺这种令人惊异的甜点都是一种清淡、奶油味的味觉体验。由each可知，空处应填入名词形式，此处表示“一勺（的量）”应用名词spoonful，each spoonful of表示“每一勺”，故填spoonful。
65. ________ I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours.（用适当的词填空）
【答案】What
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：我最喜欢四川火锅的一点是，它们提供了一个很好的机会来社交，因为一顿饭可以持续几个小时。分析句子可知，空处引导主语从句，且从句谓语动词love后缺少宾语，句意表示最喜欢的是“……的东西”，应用what引导该从句，作从句的宾语，空处位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。
66. ________ ________ (乐器) come in a wide range of types. （根据汉语提示完成句子）
【答案】 ①. Musical ②. instruments
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词和名词。句意：乐器种类繁多。根据汉语提示“乐器”可知应填入musical instrument，musical(音乐的)作定语修饰名词instrument(仪器)，由谓语动词come可知，主语应用复数形式，空处位于句首，musical首字母大写。故填①Musical②instruments。
67. It’s a piece that really deserves ________ (hear) （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】to be heard##hearing
【解析】

【答案】torn
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：音乐让我经历了一个关于一对年轻夫妇被家人拆散的经典故事的曲折。分析句子，took是谓语动词，空处应用非谓语动词形式，修饰a young couple，tear apart表示“把……痛苦地分开”，与逻辑主语a young couple之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填torn。
69. The music is light and pleasant, as if ________ (whisper) to the audience. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】whispering
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：音乐轻快悦耳，好像在向观众低语。分析句子，as if表示“好像”，引导状语从句，从句表示动作正在进行，应用现在进行时，使用it指代The music作主语，谓语动词为is whispering，状语从句的主语与主句主语一致，且有be动词时，可以省略主语和be动词。故填whispering。
70. The tunes are easy to ________ (sing). （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】sing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：曲调很容易唱。分析句子，本句使用“主语+be动词+形容词+不定式”结构，该结构中不定式与句子主语The tunes之间有逻辑上的动宾关系，不定式应用主动形式表示被动意义，空前已经出现to，空处填写动词原形形式即可。故填sing。

【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：和传统意义上欧洲艺术界占主流的的历史题材画不同，日常题材是他们作品的主要焦点。根据句意以及汉语提示，空处应填固定短语as opposed to表示“与……相对”，介词to后接the history paintings作宾语。故填as opposed to。
73. He stood in shame, his head down and eyes ________ （lower）(所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】lowered
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他羞愧地站在那里低着头，低着眼睛。本句为独立主格结构，逻辑主语 eyes与lower之间被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。根据句意，故填lowered。
74. Many famous people wear sunglass so that they can go to public places without ________(recognize). (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】being recognized
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：许多名人戴太阳镜，这样他们去公共场所时就不会被认出来。空处作介词的宾语，且与people构成被动关系，故用being done形式。故填being recognized。

Dear Editor,
Recently our school has set up a rule that no student allowed to take their mobiles into class, which has aroused a lot of discussions among we students.
Many of the students feel strong against the rule arguing that the mobile had become a necessary part of our life. They also consider that a must for us to get relaxing from our busy studies.
When it comes to me, like some other student I hold a different opinion. While a mobile phone can help us get some relief, with it we can be more devoted to our studies, but spare more time to communicate with those around us. Therefore, I believe in this school rule is beneficial to every student.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1.allowed前加is
2.we→us
3.strong→strongly
4.had→has
5.that→it
6.relaxing→relaxed
7.student→students
8.with→without
9.but→and
10.去掉believe后的in
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态。句意：最近我们学校制定了纪律，学生不允许带手机到课堂上……。allow做谓语动词与主语no student是被动关系，结合语境可知，文章讲述现在的事情，故用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语是第三人称单数。故填allowed前加is。
考查代词。among是介词，作宾语用人称代词宾格，故将we改为us。
考查副词。strongly作状语修饰动词feel，作状语用副词形式。故将strong改为strongly。
考查动词。文章描述现在的事情，用现在完成时态，主语the mobile是第三人称单数。故将had改为has。
考查代词。句意：他们也认为我们从繁忙的学习中放松也是一种需要。it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式复合结构for us to get…。故将that改为it。
考查过去分词。relaxed做形容词，表示“感动放松的”；relaxing“令人放松的”；此次指我们感动放松的。故将relaxing改为relaxed。
考查名词。student是可数名词，由some修饰用复数。故将student改为students。
考查介词。句意：尽管手机可以让我们得到一些放松，但是没有它，我们可以更加致力于学习。根据语境，故将with改为without。
考查连词。句意：……没有手机我们更加致力于学习，并且可以抽出更多的时间与我们周围的人交流。前后文是并列关系，不是转折关系。故将but改为and。
考查介词。句意：因此，我相信这个学校规定对每一个学生都是有益的。believe后接宾语从句，believe in表示“信任”不符合句意。故去掉believe后的介词in。
