阅读下列短文，从每题所给ABC和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Montreal has a unique culture, with its mixture of French and English. If you want to visit one of the best cities in North America, this is the place for you.
The French
Most places in Canada are English-speaking, but Montreal is different. It is a city run by the French and for the French. If you want to work there, you have to speak French. The French and the English generally stay apart from each other. Most of the English can’t speak French and don’t want to learn; most of the French don’t like to speak English. However, it is this “conflict” of cultures that makes Montreal interesting.
Food
The best and unique Canadian food comes from the French. For example, you can find “poutine”-a tasty quick snack. This French invention is my personal favorite, although I must warn you that it isn’t for everyone. The best way to experience poutine is to go north of Montreal to one of the ski resorts. Spend all day skiing. Then, when your body aches all over, go to a mountain bar with friends and have a hot chocolate and a plate of poutine. You will understand why it’s the best food in the world.
Music & Cinema
Montreal is also great for music. There’s a famous jazz festival in the summer. You need a pass for most of the shows, which are usually performed outdoors during the day and night. But wherever you are in Montreal, you can hear the music while you are walking in the streets.
16. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel plan. B. A travel brochure.
C. An encyclopedia. D. A travel journal.
17. When will you enjoy poutine the most
A. After a day-long sightseeing. B. After a tiring skiing experience.
C. When your body aches all over. D. When you have a hot chocolate.
18. What is necessary if you intend to make a living in Montreal
A. Mastering skiing skills. B. Favoring different cultures.
C. Understanding jazz music. D. Communicating in French.
B
Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do ”
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless ” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.
“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”
19. What puzzled the grandson most was ______.
A. why he forgot what he read soon. B. whether it was useful to read books.
C. what kind of book he could understand. D. how he could read books like his grandpa.
20. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water
A. To get him to realize the use of reading books.
B. To punish him for not reading carefully.
C. To clean the dirty basket in the river.
D. To train him to run faster.
21. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. The old are always wiser than the young. B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.
C. You can’t expect to remember all you read. D. Reading books can change a person
22. What can be the best title for the text
A. Grandpa and Grandson B. Carrying Water in a Basket
C. Baskets and Books D. Reading for Total Changing
C.
After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There’s no shower or washbasin.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by smartphone application, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code for use. A refundable deposit (保证金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yu an every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports. The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
23. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one
A. Holding one person at a time. B. Standing in the living zone.
C. Offering open spaces. D. Having some advanced equipment.
24. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room
A. Let down curtains for privacy. B. Pay 100 yuan first.
C. Use a smartphone. D. Have a shower before exercise.
25. What does the underlined word “nascent” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Simple. B. Popular. C. Satisfying. D. New.
26. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To advertise a technology company. B. To introduce shared gym rooms.
C. To support the shared gym rooms. D. To predict the future of shared gym rooms.
D
When you are a kid, gaining a best friend forever can happen in a single play date. But when you grow up to be an adult, making and maintaining friendships gets harder. So how much quality time do you need before that stranger becomes your friend A new study recently found that, on average, it takes about 50 hours with someone before you consider them a casual (感情不深的) friend, about 90 hours before you become real friends, and about 200 hours to become close friends.
The study’s author Jeffrey Hall, a communication professor, invited adults who are eager to make friends to take part in two experiments —people who had just moved to a new city in the past six months and college freshmen. He asked them to rate and track the degree of closeness and time spent together with a new person. “Results suggest that the chance of changing from casual friend to real friend is greater than 50% after around 80-100 hours together,” said Hall.
The study found that the amount of time spent talking together, or the fact that you spent time at school or work with them, was unrelated to friendship closeness. “It is really easy to spend a lot of time with people as they are routinely in the same place at the same time as you,” Hall said. “However, my study shows you can have workmates you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours with and still not develop a friendship.”
You do not need to become best friends with your workmates to develop meaningful relationships with them. But for those of us hoping to change from “girl who I eat lunch at work with” to “friend I can depend on,” Hall suggests that you need to take the relationship out of the workplace for it to become a friendship. The participants who did activities outside of work with someone, such as being invited to have lunch in their home, were more likely to develop deeper relationships with them.
27. What is the new study mainly about
A. Ways of making friends in a new environment.
B. Why people need to make different friends.
C. Different levels of friendship.
D. How long it takes to develop a friendship.
28. What do we know about the participants in the study
A. They knew each other before. B. They had difficulty in making new friends.
C. They were in great need of friends. D. They started their new life in the same city.
29. What does the underlined word “routinely” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Usually. B. Actively C. Seldom. D. Confidently.
30. Which can help people build deeper relationships with workmates according to Hall
A. Joining the same work team. B. Having lunch at work with them.
C. Inviting them to your home after work. D. Sharing work experience with each other.

Hello, my dear friend,
It’s my honor to share my opinion about traditional Chinese festival s with you. Traditional Chinese festivals play a significant role in our lives and culture. Not only do they provide us with an opportunity to celebrate and have fun, but most importantly they serve as a way to strengthen family bonds.
In Spring Festival, family members travel from near and far to gather together and celebrate it despite the difficulties during the Spring Festival travel rush. As for me, I participate in many activities ranging from decorating the doors with red couplets to having a reunion dinner, which make me feel connected and content. It is really a special occasion for showing gratitude and unity, where I learn the importance of family and the spirit of togetherness.
Traditional Chinese festivals carry profound meanings. Let us embrace them, cherish them, and carry forward them from one generation to another.
Thanks for listening.
