My parents ran the Pagonis restaurant, a small eatery in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and my first real job, when I was six years old, was shining diners’ shoes. My duties increased as I grew older. By the age of ten I was clearing tables and working as the janitor(清洁工). Dad beamed when he told me that I was the best “mop guy” he’d ever had.
Working in the restaurant was a source of great pride because I was pitching in for the good of the whole family. But my father made it clear. I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team. I had to be responsible, hard-working and polite to the customers.
Except for the shoeshine job I was never paid for any work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he ‘should give me $10 a week. He said, “Okay, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day you eat here And for the times you bring in your buddies for free sodas ” He figured I owed him about $40 a week. This taught me that when you negotiate, you’d better know the other side’s arguments as well as your own.
I remember coming home to Charleroi after being away in the Army about two years. I had just been promoted to captain and was full of pride as I walked into my parents’ restaurant. The first thing Dad said was, “It’s the janitor’s day off. How about you cleaning up tonight ”“I can’t believe this!” I thought. “I’m an officer in the United States Army!” But it didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just another member of the team. I reached for the mop.
Working for Dad had taught me that loyalty to a team comes first. It doesn’t matter whether that team is involved in a family restaurant or in the Army.
24. How was the author’s work at the restaurant

B. It was beyond his power.

D. Earning a living.

C. His father didn’t realize he was an honored captain.
D. His father fully understood his son’s pride as an officer.

I’ve kept many of my childhood friendships so far. But as we grew up, some of them moved to other cities and those who remained in my city have jobs and families. Planning our schedules was challenging. I had to find a new way to make friends. So I asked relationship experts (专家) for their suggestions.
First, consider what’s keeping you from expanding (拓展) your friendships. “We can give it different names, like the fear of not being liked, or the fear of doing it wrong, or the fear of being judged,” says Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert. “Underneath all of that is the fear of being rejected (拒绝).”
When you know what’s holding you back, you can take steps to open yourself up to new friendships. If you’re looking for someone online who shares your interest like hiking, the app Meetup may be a perfect choice for you.
After hanging out online for some time, you may want to get together in person. But there’s always a risk of rejection. Still, someone needs to take the first step. Coffee or lunch is a good place to start. If you both own pets, meet at a dog park.
Make safety an important thing by meeting in a public space. Although you might think you know the person online, meeting face to face requires a different level of trust. Before you agree to meet someone in person, consider how much information they’ve shared with you. Do you know where they work and whether they have an online footprint If you don’t think you know enough about them, keep your friendship online until you feel more comfortable getting together. Don’t let the rush of making a new friend cloud your better judgment.
After you’ve made the move from online friends to friends in real life, there’s no reason you can’t toggle (切换) between online and in-person friendships. Keep the momentum (势头) going and stay connected with your friends.
28. Why did the author need to change her way of making friends
A. She moved to a new city.
B. She has only a few friends in her city.
C. She wants to become a relationship expert.
D. She has difficulty staying connected with her old friends.
29. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Shasta Nelson’s words in paragraph 2
A. To discuss why people are often rejected.
B. To encourage people to be open to new friends.
C. To explain why people find it hard to make new friends.
D. To prove that friendships are important in people’s lives.
30. What can people do with Meetup
A. Make online friends with similar interests.
B. Learn how to get along well with others.
C. Develop various new hobbies.
D. Catch up with old friends.
31. What does the underlined word “cloud” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Form. B. Accept. C. Test. D. Confuse.
D
When asked what his father did for a living, Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s OK, because he gets paid to do it. ”
He isn’t wrong. His father is a hacker(黑客), who is proud of his job, just like doctors are proud of the work they do. Thanks to security researchers’ hacking practices, leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks. In another case, criminals found an unknown weakness in Google’s Android operating systems before security researchers did, giving the bad guys full control of more than a dozen phone models.
However, finding Mike’s father’s personalized plates for his car with the word ‘HACKING’, an employee of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles quickly took them away, claiming that a license plate displaying “HACKING” publicized criminal activity. While this reaction really isn’t the fault of the well-intentioned employee, it’s a sign of how a deeply rooted misrepresentation of his profession has created a fixed wrong image. It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’, where hackers are often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards.
But actually, hacking is just an activity. What separates any activity from a crime is, very often, permission. People are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour, which is a criminal offense. Since a driver is just a driver, why must a hacker be a criminal Someone who engages in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a ‘bad hacker’ but a ‘cybercriminal’. Contrary to popular belief, most hackers like Mike’s father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.
32. What did Mike’s son think of Mike’s job
A. Admirable. B. Amazing. C. Acceptable. D. Annoying.
33. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about concerning the hackers’ job
A. Its weakness. B. Its importance. C. Its variety D. Its security.
34. Why does the writer mention ‘Hollywood’ in paragraph 3
A. To entertain the renders. B. To question the employee’s claim.
C. To clarify the concept of hacking. D. To trace the wrong image of hackers.
35. What message does the author really want to convey in the text
A. Hacking mostly counts. B. Hacking is actually a crime.
C. Hacking is popular with people. D. Hacking needs licenses.

My parents ran the Pagonis restaurant, a small eatery in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and my first real job, when I was six years old, was shining diners’ shoes. My duties increased as I grew older. By the age of ten I was clearing tables and working as the janitor(清洁工). Dad beamed when he told me that I was the best “mop guy” he’d ever had.
Working in the restaurant was a source of great pride because I was pitching in for the good of the whole family. But my father made it clear. I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team. I had to be responsible, hard-working and polite to the customers.
Except for the shoeshine job, I was never paid for any work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he ‘should give me $10 a week. He said, “Okay, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day you eat here And for the times you bring in your buddies for free sodas ” He figured I owed him about $40 a week. This taught me that when you negotiate, you’d better know the other side’s arguments as well as your own.
I remember coming home to Charleroi after being away in the Army about two years. I had just been promoted to captain and was full of pride as I walked into my parents’ restaurant. The first thing Dad said was, “It’s the janitor’s day off. How about you cleaning up tonight ”“I can’t believe this!” I thought. “I’m an officer in the United States Army!” But it didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just another member of the team. I reached for the mop.
Working for Dad had taught me that loyalty to a team comes first. It doesn’t matter whether that team is involved in a family restaurant or in the Army.

A. It was unpaid.
B. It was beyond his power.

C. Making a sacrifice.
D. Earning a living.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者幼时起就在父母经营的餐馆帮工，在这期间，父亲教导作者，整个家庭作为一个团队，每一个成员都要努力担负起自己的责任。后来作者当了军官，回到餐馆父亲还是让他拿起拖把，担负起在家庭里的责任。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“By the age of ten I was clearing tables and working as the janitor(清洁工). Dad beamed when he told me that I was the best “mop guy” he’d ever had.( 十岁的时候，我就开始清理桌子和当清洁工了。爸爸笑着告诉我，我是他请过的最好的“清洁工”)”可知，父亲对作者的清洁工作评价很高，很赞赏。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Working in the restaurant was a source of great pride(在餐厅工作是一件非常自豪的事情)”可知，作者在自家小餐馆工作是有自豪感的，因为他为了整个家庭的利益，做出了自己的一份努力。所以划线词应该表示，出了自己的一份力。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I remember coming home to Charleroi after being away in the Army about two years. I had just been promoted to captain and was full of pride as I walked into my parents’ restaurant. The first thing Dad said was, ‘It’s the janitor’s day off. How about you cleaning up tonight ’‘I can’t believe this!’ I thought. ‘I’m an officer in the United States Army!’ (我记得离家在部队大约两年后回到沙勒罗瓦的家。我刚被提升为上尉，当我走进父母开的餐馆时，我满怀自豪。爸爸说的第一句话是：“今天是清洁工的休息日。今晚你来打扫怎么样？“我真不敢相信！”我想。“我是美国陆军的一名军官!”)”可知，作者为自己的军官的身份很自豪，认为自己和以前不一样了。可是爸爸还是把他看成家庭团队中的普通一员，对待他和以前一样，让他打扫。作者很意外。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段末“I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team. I had to be responsible, hard-working and polite to the customers.(我必须达到一定的标准才能成为团队的一员。我必须负责，努力工作，对顾客有礼貌)”可知，根据文中父亲的标准，作为一个团队的成员，应该是勤奋的，责任心强。be hard-working与diligence意思一致，be responsible 和 faithfulness意义一致。故选C项。
C
I’ve kept many of my childhood friendships so far. But as we grew up, some of them moved to other cities and those who remained in my city have jobs and families. Planning our schedules was challenging. I had to find a new way to make friends. So I asked relationship experts (专家) for their suggestions.
First, consider what’s keeping you from expanding (拓展) your friendships. “We can give it different names, like the fear of not being liked, or the fear of doing it wrong, or the fear of being judged,” says Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert. “Underneath all of that is the fear of being rejected (拒绝).”
When you know what’s holding you back, you can take steps to open yourself up to new friendships. If you’re looking for someone online who shares your interest like hiking, the app Meetup may be a perfect choice for you.
After hanging out online for some time, you may want to get together in person. But there’s always a risk of rejection. Still, someone needs to take the first step. Coffee or lunch is a good place to start. If you both own pets, meet at a dog park.
Make safety an important thing by meeting in a public space. Although you might think you know the person online, meeting face to face requires a different level of trust. Before you agree to meet someone in person, consider how much information they’ve shared with you. Do you know where they work and whether they have an online footprint If you don’t think you know enough about them, keep your friendship online until you feel more comfortable getting together. Don’t let the rush of making a new friend cloud your better judgment.
After you’ve made the move from online friends to friends in real life, there’s no reason you can’t toggle (切换) between online and in-person friendships. Keep the momentum (势头) going and stay connected with your friends.
28. Why did the author need to change her way of making friends
A. She moved to a new city.
B. She has only a few friends in her city.
C She wants to become a relationship expert.
D. She has difficulty staying connected with her old friends.
29. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Shasta Nelson’s words in paragraph 2
A. To discuss why people are often rejected.
B. To encourage people to be open to new friends.
C. To explain why people find it hard to make new friends.
D. To prove that friendships are important in people’s lives.
30. What can people do with Meetup
A. Make online friends with similar interests.
B. Learn how to get along well with others.
C. Develop various new hobbies.
D. Catch up with old friends.
31. What does the underlined word “cloud” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Form. B. Accept. C. Test. D. Confuse.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在网上交友以及维持这样的友谊。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I’ve kept many of my childhood friendships so far. But as we grew up, some of them moved to other cities and those who remained in my city have jobs and families. Planning our schedules was challenging. I had to find a new way to make friends. (到目前为止，我还保留着许多儿时的友谊。但随着我们长大，他们中的一些人搬到了其他城市，而留在我所在城市的人有了工作和家庭。计划我们的日程是很有挑战性的。我必须找到一种新的交朋友的方式。)”可知，作者之所以要找到新的交友方式是因为她很难和老朋友保持联系。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“First, consider what’s keeping you from expanding (拓展) your friendships. “We can give it different names, like the fear of not being liked, or the fear of doing it wrong, or the fear of being judged,” says Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert. “Underneath all of that is the fear of being rejected (拒绝).”(首先，考虑是什么阻碍了你扩大友谊。“我们可以给它起不同的名字，比如害怕不被喜欢，或者害怕做错，或者害怕被评判，”友谊专家Shasta Nelson说。“在这一切的背后是对被拒绝的恐惧。”)”可知，作者在第二段提到Shasta Nelson的话是为了解释我们为什么很难交到新朋友。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If you’re looking for someone online who shares your interest like hiking, the app Meetup may be a perfect choice for you.(如果你正在网上寻找一个和你有共同爱好的人，比如徒步旅行，Meetup应用程序可能是你的完美选择)”可知，人们可以用Meetup应用程序结交拥有共同爱好的人。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“If you don’t think you know enough about them, keep your friendship online until you feel more comfortable getting together.(如果你觉得你对他们还不够了解，那就把你们的友谊保持在网上，直到你们在一起感觉更舒服为止。)”可知，作者建议要足够了解网友再线下见面。由此可知，划线单词的词义指的是不要让匆忙的交友“影响”你的判断。选项A“Form (形成)”；选项B“Accept (接受)”；选项C“Test (测试)”；选项D“Confuse (混淆)”。故选D。
D
When asked what his father did for a living, Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s OK, because he gets paid to do it. ”
He isn’t wrong. His father is a hacker(黑客), who is proud of his job, just like doctors are proud of the work they do. Thanks to security researchers’ hacking practices, leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks. In another case, criminals found an unknown weakness in Google’s Android operating systems before security researchers did, giving the bad guys full control of more than a dozen phone models.
However, finding Mike’s father’s personalized plates for his car with the word ‘HACKING’, an employee of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles quickly took them away, claiming that a license plate displaying “HACKING” publicized criminal activity. While this reaction really isn’t the fault of the well-intentioned employee, it’s a sign of how a deeply rooted misrepresentation of his profession has created a fixed wrong image. It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’, where hackers are often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards.
But actually, hacking is just an activity. What separates any activity from a crime is, very often, permission. People are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour, which is a criminal offense. Since a driver is just a driver, why must a hacker be a criminal Someone who engages in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a ‘bad hacker’ but a ‘cybercriminal’. Contrary to popular belief, most hackers like Mike’s father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.
32. What did Mike’s son think of Mike’s job
A. Admirable. B. Amazing. C. Acceptable. D. Annoying.
33. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about concerning the hackers’ job
A. Its weakness. B. Its importance. C. Its variety D. Its security.
34. Why does the writer mention ‘Hollywood’ in paragraph 3
A. To entertain the renders. B. To question the employee’s claim.
C. To clarify the concept of hacking. D. To trace the wrong image of hackers.
35. What message does the author really want to convey in the text
A. Hacking mostly counts. B. Hacking is actually a crime.
C. Hacking is popular with people. D. Hacking needs licenses.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“黑客”这份职业的重要性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When asked what his father did for a living, Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that“he steals things, but it's OK, because he gets paid to do it. ”（当被问及他的父亲是做什么的时候，迈克向他的幼儿园老师解释 说:“他偷东西，但没关系，因为他是为此而赚钱的。”）可知，Mike对于父亲的职业是认可的。故选C项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Thanks to security researchers’ hacking practices, leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks. ”（多亏了安全研究人员的黑客实践。最新版本的最常见的Wi-Fi编码标准(WPA3)在犯罪分子利用其侵入家庭和商业网络之前就被发现了漏洞）可知，该段落主要在讲述“黑客”工作的重要性。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段最后一句话“It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’, where hackers arc often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards. ”（看来，好莱坞对黑客的描述催生了“黑客”这个词，与“犯罪分子”同时出现。其中，黑客通常被称为那些在暗室里敲击键盘从事非法活动的人）可知, Hollywood中总是把“hackers”呈现为黑房子里用电脑犯罪的人物形象，因此导致人们对hackers的误解。因此提到“Hollywood”是为了追溯为什么会有这种误解。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全篇描述及最后一段“Contrary to popular belief, most hackers like Mike's father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.”（与人们普遍认为的相反，大多数像迈克的父亲一样的黑客无疑在保护公司和人们的安全方面发挥着重要作用）可知，本文主要是为了说明大多数像Mike的父亲一样从事这份职业的黑客是非常重要的，他们保障人们和公司的安全。故选A项。
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Experts suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day.They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well.

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food.

【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。本文主要分析了为什么要自己种菜的原因。
【36题详解】
根据后句“It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own (我们很容易从当地的超市买到食物，所以我们为什么要自己种菜呢 )可知，空格处应是阐述自己种植蔬菜，A项中的“grow your own”与语境相符，因此推断A项“最重要的是，你可以自己种植!”为最佳答案，讲述可以自己种植的蔬菜，呼应上文“we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day.They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. ( 我们应该每天至少吃五种不同的蔬菜和水果，它们对于我们的健康是必需的，有助于我们的身体正常工作。)”多吃蔬菜对身体健康有益，最重要的是你可以自己种植。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据后句“You can pick and eat it at once.(你可以马上把它摘下来吃掉)可知，此处说的是自己种植的蔬菜非常新鲜，可以随时采摘品尝，因此推断D项“你自己种的食物总是新鲜的。”符合语境，与下文是顺承关系，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据前句“Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth.(许多食品包装被空运到地球的另一边。)”可知，这些食物有很长的“食物里程”，因此推断C项 “这对你和地球都不好。”符合语境，上下文是因果关系，故选C。
【39题详解】
根据前句“Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own，things are different.(食品生产商经常使用化肥和杀虫剂，它们最终会进入你的食物。如果你自己种植，事情就不一样了。)可知，购买的食物经常会含有化肥和农药，自己种植的食物就不会有这些东西，因此推断F项“你可以控制什么进入你所吃的食物。"符合语境，说明自己种植的食物可以避免使用化肥和农药等不利于健康的东西。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据后句“And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony (RE) .(即使你只有一个小后院或阳台，你也可以自己种植。)可知，此处讲述种植蔬菜的地方，E项中的“a large garden”与语境一致，因此推断E项“如果你有一个大花园，自己种植是很容易的。”符合语境，故选E。
