Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes.They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised.A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs.Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles.I reach for an egg from an empty nest.There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts.
The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food.Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don't constitute a full day's work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn't just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves.Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast.
A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained.In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops.Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War Ⅱ， when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs.
Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farm stays, where guests sleep on-site.For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.

My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college, but I knew enough to appreciate that it was there.Therefore, when my French teacher announced that she'd be leading an optional class trip to Paris over one of our breaks for those who could come up with the money to do it, I didn't even bother to raise the issue at home.
Yet one evening my parents sat me down, looking puzzled.My mom had learned about the France trip through my friend's mom.
“Why didn't you tell us？”she said.
“Because it's too much money.”
“ That's actually not for you to decide, Michelle，” my dad said gently, almost offended.“And how are we supposed to decide, if we don't even know about it？”
I looked at them both, unsure of what to say.My mother glanced at me, her eyes soft.My father had changed out of his work uniform and into a clean white shirt.They were in their early forties then, married nearly twenty years.Neither one of them had ever vacationed in Europe.They never took beach trips or went out to dinner.They didn't own a house.We were their investment, me and my brother.Everything went into us.
A few months later, I boarded a flight to Paris with my teacher and a dozen or so of my classmates from Whitney Young.We would stay in a hostel, tour the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.We'd buy snacks from stands on the street and walk along the banks of the Seine.We'd speak French like a bunch of high school kids from Chicago, but we'd at least speak French.
As the plane pulled away from its gate that day, I looked out my window and back at the airport, knowing that my mother stood somewhere behind its black-glass windows, dressed in her winter coat and waving me on.I remember all the details.I remember the jet engines firing, shockingly loud.And then we were rattling down the runway and beginning to tilt upward as the acceleration seized my chest and pressed me backward into my seat for that strange, in-between moment that comes before finally I feel lifted.

A．She didn't get on well with her parents.
B．She thought her parents couldn't afford it.
C．She wanted to save money for her college.
D．She had already had plans for the vacation.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college”和“Therefore... I didn't even bother to raise the issue at home.”可知，作者没有告诉父母的原因是她认为父母支付不起法国之旅的费用。故选B。
6．What are the author's parents like
A．Strict and ambitious.

Hiking keeps your brain sharper than many other forms of exercise.As a professional writer, although I am busy with my work, I often spare some time to hike. 2.　　　
3.　　　 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress.But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that hiking can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase your creativity.I'm sure I'm not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions. 4.　　　 Sometimes, ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I'm not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world.Besides being good for us, hiking may also help the world around us.After all, if we stick to walking and covering longer distances, we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprints. 5.　　　 For example, it increases our connection to nature.As one study suggests, when we have a personal connection to nature, we are more likely to want to protect it.That means experiences in nature—like hiking—can be mutually(相互地) beneficial, helping people and the earth.
So, grab a water bottle, a backpack...and head out on the trail.You won't be sorry you did.
A．Hiking helps your relationships.
B．Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I wanted to go to a party.Especially it was a beach party.It had been almost the only thing my friends had been talking about for the last couple of weeks.But my mom had said no.The more desperately I pleaded, the more forcefully my mother said no.“I don't care who's going，” my mother said coldly, “you are not going.”I was heartbroken.This was my best friend's party.
Sunday dinner came around and my grandmother, Gran, joined the family for the meal.Gran noticed my depression but didn't say a word.It was my turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you.” “What's up？” asked Gran as I dumped the dishes into the foaming water.Gran wiped a plate with a tea towel.“Mom won't let me go to my best friend's party，”I said sadly.“Has Mom explained why she doesn't want you to go？” asked Gran.“No，”I replied.“Then for a moment, put yourself in her position，” said Gran.“If you were Mom, what would your objections be？”
I hadn't stopped to think about my mom's side.“Well，” I answered, “it's a beach party.Maybe she doesn't trust us or thinks we'll get into trouble.”
“Are there going to be any adults there？” asked Gran.“No，”I said, “who wants their parents hanging around when you're trying to have fun？” “Might it just be，” said Gran, “your mother doesn't want anything unfortunate to happen to you.” “Nothing will happen，”I objected.“Maybe you're right，” said Gran, “but maybe Mom's worried in case it could.”
Gran looked at me gently, seeming to expect my agreement.For a minute or so, I kept silent, pondering for a while about my eagerness for the party.“Maybe, you are right.However, is there no hope？”I inquired.“Not necessarily，” answered Gran, lost in thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
“Then maybe think of a compromise，” suggested Gran.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.

“Then maybe think of a compromise，” suggested Gran.But I sobbed uncontrollably.“Well, if you could let me go with you, I'd say yes，” my mom added.I wasn't fond of her suggestion, but to get to the party I had to make compromises.“I suppose your mother won't disturb your party, will she？” Gran looked at Mom with a smile.“Well, I promise I won't.” Mom finally gave in to me.I ran to my grandmother and gave her a big hug.
The long-awaited beach party finally came.I went to the beach with my mom.At a tree near the destination, Mom stopped, taking out a red mat to sit on and signaling to me to join my friends.I rushed toward the crowd.Joyfully and excitedly, we sang, danced and chatted.Occasionally, the red mat caught my eye.Mom held a book, leaning against the tree.A wave of appreciation surged through me.When the party was over, I said goodbye to my friends and turned to Mom.Under the tree sat Mom waiting patiently.Tears of happiness blurring my eyes, I took her hand tightly, heading home.

I wanted to go to a party.Especially it was a beach party.It had been almost the only thing my friends had been talking about for the last couple of weeks.But my mom had said no.The more desperately I pleaded, the more forcefully my mother said no.“I don't care who's going，” my mother said coldly, “you are not going.”I was heartbroken.This was my best friend's party.
Sunday dinner came around and my grandmother, Gran, joined the family for the meal.Gran noticed my depression but didn't say a word.It was my turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you.” “What's up？” asked Gran as I dumped the dishes into the foaming water.Gran wiped a plate with a tea towel.“Mom won't let me go to my best friend's party，”I said sadly.“Has Mom explained why she doesn't want you to go？” asked Gran.“No，”I replied.“Then for a moment, put yourself in her position，” said Gran.“If you were Mom, what would your objections be？”
I hadn't stopped to think about my mom's side.“Well，” I answered, “it's a beach party.Maybe she doesn't trust us or thinks we'll get into trouble.”
“Are there going to be any adults there？” asked Gran.“No，”I said, “who wants their parents hanging around when you're trying to have fun？” “Might it just be，” said Gran, “your mother doesn't want anything unfortunate to happen to you.” “Nothing will happen，”I objected.“Maybe you're right，” said Gran, “but maybe Mom's worried in case it could.”
Gran looked at me gently, seeming to expect my agreement.For a minute or so, I kept silent, pondering for a while about my eagerness for the party.“Maybe, you are right.However, is there no hope？”I inquired.“Not necessarily，” answered Gran, lost in thought.
