A
It’s the oldest trick in the book: threaten the kids with a piece of coal, and they’ll behave in the name of Santa Claus. Some people say that parents are purposely taking in their kids by lying to them about Santa. Is it purposely cheating or playing along with the fantasy There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids there’s no Santa Claus, and they’d all start crying on the lost dreams. But if another teacher goes into a third-grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, they’ll all laugh at her. What I say is that if they’re at the age when they’re still believing, why bother to end it
Then how long should parents pretend Studies indicate that after eight, 75 percent of kids don’t believe. That’s the first “S” word that parents have to deal with — it’s not sex. It’s Santa. So the parent has to sit down and say it in a gentle way. “Listen, Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that you’re older, you can give to others and be Santa, too.” Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way No. They’re going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying, saying you lied to him. We all remember how the news is broken to us, so if we all remember, then there’s some significance or we would have forgotten it. And it’s better to have a memory if someone doing it nicely than some kids laughing at you.
Santa is also used as an instrument of guilt, because Santa knows everything. So even if the kids did bad things and got away with them, Santa knew. Still, Santa alone is not a good behavioral tool. You can’t, say, in January, play the Santa card to your child — because Christmas is too far away.
16. According to the first paragraph, parents should__________.
A. telling the kids that Santa does not exist
B. lie to their children on the problem of Santa Claus
C. not tell the truth if their children believe Santa Claus exists
D. tell children in advance in case of being laughed at by classmates
17. Why could your kid possibly be made fun of in the fourth grade
A. He tells a lie that he believes in Santa. B. He says Santa does exist in this world.
C. He expects gentle talks from his friends. D. He gives to others and acts as Santa does.
18. The underlined part in the last paragraph most probably means to__________.
A. play cards with children happily
B. talk the kids out of doing something bad
C. clarify the truth of Santa to the kids in a gentle way
D. let the children figure the problem out by themselves
19 The author’s intention in writing this text is to__________.
A. introduce the detailed story of Santa Claus in all aspects
B. prevent children from being laughed at by fellow classmates
C. help children to understand whether Santa Claus is real or not
D. instruct parents how to explain the existence of Santa Claus to kids
B
Michael Gonsalves, a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World, has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable model.
“Truly the whole process starts with menu planning,” he said. Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products. As chefs, they are always searching for the best ingredients. It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them. For example, they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet, no hormones (激素) or additives — that’s used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup. Nothing goes to waste.
When they do have waste, even if minimal, they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost (堆肥) that’s then used across the Walt Disney World property. They also support Second Harvest, a local community food bank where healthy produce, prepared, but not served, meals eatable for human consumption are donated. Disney also works with pig farmers when they can’t distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption. Besides, wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that.
Their operations are “on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow” where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft.
Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year, plus those bees help with cross pollination (授粉) of their gardens on a daily basis. They advocate a culture that helps develop not only the quality of food, but an appreciation for nature.
20. Where did Michael Gonsalves’ idea about cuisine come from
A His mom’s suggestions. B. His dream of becoming a chef.
C. His interest in delicious food. D. His labor experience as a child.
21. How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak
A. They are grilled to eat. B. They are used to the fullest.
C. They are divided into groups. D. They are selected by quality.
22. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Give examples about zero waste.
B. Introduce the unique habit of wildlife.
C. Stress the importance of natural food.
D. Explain the operation mode of the food bank.
23. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A Disney World:New Cuisine Road
B. Michael Gonsalves:Creative Chef
C. Michael Gonsalves:Advocate of Food Diversity
D. Disney World:Pioneer in Environmental Protection
C
When my son first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents. Occasionally, I would ask if they played chess themselves. Normally, the reply was no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking, “Good luck with that!”If this game is so good, why are adults ignoring it Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I preferred to say, “Why are you having your kids do chess while you play ”
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying. But I was also wondering if we were sending an unnoticeable message that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents playing chess! Just then, a group of kids passed me “Why are adults learning chess ” One asked, in an apparently joking tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in, and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.“Early on,I was nervous, even the master can sometimes play badly, ” as one Grandmaster put it “a fan never” . And a fan I was. It was three hours of concentration and thinking with my phone off. It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus, memory, logic, and occasional headaches. And of course hours of absence of digital devices would never be no good for thinking sharply.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder when you are older. The phrase “adult beginner”has an fairly gentle pity. It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already leaned.
24. What can we learn about other parents from their remarks
A. They were ignoring other learners.
B. They agreed on the idea of learning chess.
C. They gave congratulations to the adult lessons.
D. They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.
25. How did the child in the second paragraph perceive adults learning chess
A. Laughable. B. Imaginable. C. Understandable. D. Sensible.
26. What do the underlined words “sitting on the sidelines” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Not being noticed. B. Not being involved.
C. Expressing confusing ideas. D. Following what others do.
27. What did the writer think of his experience of leaning to play chess
A. It helped him remain calm. B. It made him proud of himself.
C. It helped him train his brain. D. It made him look rather funny.

三、七选五
For most people, life has become a burden on their shoulders, and its weight is growing heavier and heavier, until one day they can’t carry it anymore. So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful With minimalism (极简主义). ____31____ The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simper yet fuller life.
____32____ Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and throw the latter right into the dustin — or better, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.
Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. ____33____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing, our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ____34____
Develop mindfulness. ____35____ Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it’s coming in and out through your nose. In this way, you won’t be distracted by your thoughts.
A. It is about enjoying life more with less.
B. Stop consuming products you don’t need.
C. Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail.
D. Get rid of things that don’t serve your happiness.
E. minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.
F. Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.
G. Unfortunately, our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives.

I was taking the Chinese language and culture courses.

In the afternoon I would have culture classes ___43___I would learn about Chinese calligraphy, Beijing opera, Chinese martial arts, Chinese cooking and many other subjects.

My ten-year-old self loved summertime. The best part of summer was the community pool. Everyone was there.
We didn’t have a care in the world. Our biggest concern was which one of us could hold her breath underwater the longest. We didn’t care what we looked like or who was cool. I never once thought about how I looked in a swimsuit or if my hair looked good. I was aware that I wasn’t super-thin like some of the other girls I saw, but I didn’t care.
And then one day, I was taking my turn on the diving board with all the other kids. I jumped in, floated freely to the top and swam over to the ladder to make my way out of the pool. I noticed a girl standing at the top of the ladder, so I swam slowly, giving her time to move. I didn’t know her. She looked cute and thin.
But instead of moving, a strange thing happened. This girl leaned over the pool and said to me, “They don’t allow beached (搁浅的) whales in this pool.”
Beached whales I soon realized that I was the beached whale. Suddenly, my cool blue swimsuit didn’t cover enough. I got out of the pool quickly and wrapped my towel around my body, feeling like I was going to throw up. From that moment on, I was aware of my size.
Clothes became a horrible dream, and I struggled through my teen years and into adulthood. I cried over clothes that didn’t fit. My heart had always hated the little girl by the pool, who took the confidence out of my life until I got my daughter, Lisa.
One day I dressed my little girl in beautiful clothes and put a bow (蝴蝶结) on her head, but she refused because she liked to be comfortable. Is society interested in comfort However, when I stared at her, I suddenly realized how beautiful she was, even though she was covered in mud.

16. According to the first paragraph, parents should__________.
A. telling the kids that Santa does not exist
B. lie to their children on the problem of Santa Claus
C. not tell the truth if their children believe Santa Claus exists
D. tell children in advance in case of being laughed at by classmates
17. Why could your kid possibly be made fun of in the fourth grade
A. He tells a lie that he believes in Santa. B. He says Santa does exist in this world.
C. He expects gentle talks from his friends. D. He gives to others and acts as Santa does.
18. The underlined part in the last paragraph most probably means to__________.
A. play cards with children happily
B. talk the kids out of doing something bad
C. clarify the truth of Santa to the kids in a gentle way
D. let the children figure the problem out by themselves
19. The author’s intention in writing this text is to__________.
A. introduce the detailed story of Santa Claus in all aspects
B. prevent children from being laughed at by fellow classmates
C. help children to understand whether Santa Claus is real or not
D. instruct parents how to explain the existence of Santa Claus to kids
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. B 19. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何向孩子解释圣诞老人的存在对父母进行了指导。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“What I say is that if they’re at the age when they’re still believing, why bother to end it (我想说的是，如果在他们还在相信的年纪，为什么要结束？)”可知，如果孩子相信圣诞老人的存在，父母就不应该告诉孩子真相。故选C。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way No. They’re going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying, saying you lied to him.(你认为如果一个相信圣诞老人存在的孩子走进三四年级的教室，他的朋友会用一种温和的方式告诉他吗？并不会。他们会取笑他，那孩子会哭着跑回家，说你骗了他)”可推知，四年级的孩子如果说世界上确实存在圣诞老人是会被取笑的。故选B。
【18题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Santa is also used as an instrument of guilt, because Santa knows everything. So even if the kids did bad things and got away with them, Santa knew.(圣诞老人也被用作罪恶感的工具，因为圣诞老人无所不知。所以，即使孩子们做了坏事并逃脱了惩罚，圣诞老人也知道)”以及画线词后文“because Christmas is too far away”可知，大人们常常用“做了坏事圣诞老人会知道”来吓唬孩子，但一月就用这种借口好像不太合适，毕竟距离圣诞节还有很长一段时间，大人的这种伎俩可能不会凑效。由此可知，划线句子意为“告诉孩子不要做坏事”。故选B。

Michael Gonsalves, a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World, has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable model.
“Truly the whole process starts with menu planning,” he said. Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products. As chefs, they are always searching for the best ingredients. It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them. For example, they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet, no hormones (激素) or additives — that’s used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup. Nothing goes to waste.
When they do have waste, even if minimal, they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost (堆肥) that’s then used across the Walt Disney World property. They also support Second Harvest, a local community food bank where healthy produce, prepared, but not served, meals eatable for human consumption are donated. Disney also works with pig farmers when they can’t distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption. Besides, wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that.
Their operations are “on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow” where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft.
Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year, plus those bees help with cross pollination (授粉) of their gardens on a daily basis. They advocate a culture that helps develop not only the quality of food, but an appreciation for nature.
20. Where did Michael Gonsalves’ idea about cuisine come from
A. His mom’s suggestions. B. His dream of becoming a chef.
C. His interest in delicious food. D. His labor experience as a child.
21. How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak
A. They are grilled to eat. B. They are used to the fullest.
C. They are divided into groups. D. They are selected by quality.
22. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Give examples about zero waste.
B. Introduce the unique habit of wildlife.
C. Stress the importance of natural food.
D. Explain the operation mode of the food bank.
23. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A Disney World:New Cuisine Road
B. Michael Gonsalves:Creative Chef
C. Michael Gonsalves:Advocate of Food Diversity
D. Disney World:Pioneer in Environmental Protection

When my son first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents. Occasionally, I would ask if they played chess themselves. Normally, the reply was no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking, “Good luck with that!”If this game is so good, why are adults ignoring it Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I preferred to say, “Why are you having your kids do chess while you play ”
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying. But I was also wondering if we were sending an unnoticeable message that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents playing chess! Just then, a group of kids passed me “Why are adults learning chess ” One asked, in an apparently joking tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in, and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.“Early on,I was nervous, even the master can sometimes play badly, ” as one Grandmaster put it “a fan never” . And a fan I was. It was three hours of concentration and thinking with my phone off. It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus, memory, logic, and occasional headaches. And of course hours of absence of digital devices would never be no good for thinking sharply.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder when you are older. The phrase “adult beginner”has an fairly gentle pity. It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already leaned.
24. What can we learn about other parents from their remarks
A. They were ignoring other learners.
B. They agreed on the idea of learning chess.
C They gave congratulations to the adult lessons.
D. They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.
25. How did the child in the second paragraph perceive adults learning chess
A. Laughable. B. Imaginable. C. Understandable. D. Sensible.
26. What do the underlined words “sitting on the sidelines” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Not being noticed. B. Not being involved.
C. Expressing confusing ideas. D. Following what others do.
27. What did the writer think of his experience of leaning to play chess
A. It helped him remain calm. B. It made him proud of himself.
C. It helped him train his brain. D. It made him look rather funny.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C

三、七选五
For most people, life has become a burden on their shoulders, and its weight is growing heavier and heavier, until one day they can’t carry it anymore. So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful With minimalism (极简主义). ____31____ The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simper yet fuller life.
____32____ Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and throw the latter right into the dustin — or better, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.
Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. ____33____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing, our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ____34____
Develop mindfulness. ____35____ Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it’s coming in and out through your nose. In this way, you won’t be distracted by your thoughts.
A. It is about enjoying life more with less.
B. Stop consuming products you don’t need.
C. Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail.
D. Get rid of things that don’t serve your happiness.
E. minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.
F. Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.
G. Unfortunately, our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives.
【答案】31. A 32. D 33. C 34. F 35. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一些帮助人们过上简单而充实的生活的方法。

【33题详解】
上文“We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. (我们总是把自己和那些看起来比自己更快乐、更美丽、更重要的人进行比较。我们尽力模仿我们所羡慕的人。)”说明人们总是互相攀比并模仿自己羡慕的人，选项C“然而无论我们如何努力，我们总是失败。”承接上文，转折语义，说明这样做并不成功，引出下文“We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. (我们需要停止比较，接受我们自己，接受我们所有的不完美。)”建议停止攀比，接受自己。语义通顺合理。故选C项。
【34题详解】
上文段首“Do one thing at a time. (一次只做一件事。)”概括了本段主题，一次做好一件事，选项F“停止一心多用，一次只专注一件事。”呼应段首，建议要一次专注于一件事。选项中concentrate on a single thing at a time和上文段首Do one thing at a time语义一致。故选F项。
【35题详解】
下文“Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. (因此你需要培养正念。正念意味着完全关注当下正在发生的事情。)”建议要培养正念，关注当下，选项E“极简主义生活需要一个平静和不受干扰的头脑。”和下文之间存在因果关系，因为生活需要平静不受干扰，所以要培养正念，关注当下。故选E项。

My ten-year-old self loved summertime. The best part of summer was the community pool. Everyone was there.
We didn’t have a care in the world. Our biggest concern was which one of us could hold her breath underwater the longest. We didn’t care what we looked like or who was cool. I never once thought about how I looked in a swimsuit or if my hair looked good. I was aware that I wasn’t super-thin like some of the other girls I saw, but I didn’t care.
And then one day, I was taking my turn on the diving board with all the other kids. I jumped in, floated freely to the top and swam over to the ladder to make my way out of the pool. I noticed a girl standing at the top of the ladder, so I swam slowly, giving her time to move. I didn’t know her. She looked cute and thin.
But instead of moving, a strange thing happened. This girl leaned over the pool and said to me, “They don’t allow beached (搁浅的) whales in this pool.”
Beached whales I soon realized that I was the beached whale. Suddenly, my cool blue swimsuit didn’t cover enough. I got out of the pool quickly and wrapped my towel around my body, feeling like I was going to throw up. From that moment on, I was aware of my size.
Clothes became a horrible dream, and I struggled through my teen years and into adulthood. I cried over clothes that didn’t fit. My heart had always hated the little girl by the pool, who took the confidence out of my life until I got my daughter, Lisa.
One day I dressed my little girl in beautiful clothes and put a bow (蝴蝶结) on her head, but she refused because she liked to be comfortable. Is society interested in comfort However, when I stared at her, I suddenly realized how beautiful she was, even though she was covered in mud.

【答案】参考范文
When Lisa was ten, I came across a picture of myself when I was ten and I showed it to her: “That’s me!” she said with a smile. But I shook my head. We could have been twins. Yes, she looked just like me, and I thought she was a beautiful and smart girl, full of confidence. What a pity I had missed myself. The fat little girl in the photo looked at me, as if she was reminding me that I was not a beached whale, but a beautiful little girl with dreams and gifts. Something started to stir in my mind.
Then I told her the story of the little girl by the pool. After hearing my story, Lisa was a bit confused about my life’s being shaped because of a hateful little girl’s words. But I explained quickly that I had already forgiven her. Anyhow, that was life, and you must find yourself once again. With this, Lisa smiled at me, “Oh, it seems that I’m a really lucky daughter, because I have a beautiful good mother. Time to swim now!”Watching her lively figure going away, I strongly believed that life is not measured by the size of our clothes but by who we are.
