Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
With the everincreasing popularity of online shopping, users' reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you're buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews—only the good ones.”
So, how can you get a useful review Web expert Hilary Saunders, has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different user names, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers (购物礼券) to anyone who would give their textbooks a fivestar review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews，” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down .”
So, next time you see that fivestar review for something you want to buy, be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了关于在线购物，产品的评论有些不可信，我们应该学会看真实可信的评论。
1．What does “them” in Para. 1 refer to？(　　)
A．Products. B．Users.
C．Reviews. D．Buyers.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据句意可知“them”指代的是上文的reviews。故选C。
2．What does Barnaby Bicken's story imply？(　　)
A．The food served was awful.
B．Not all reviews are believable.
C．Many people are easily cheated.
D．He likes to write bad reviews.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据Barnaby Bicken的经历可知，他相信了别人的评论，结果餐厅的服务与评论并不符合，所以并不是所有的评论都可信。故选B。
3．What reviews of products are useful？(　　)
A．Those by competitors.
B．Those by different users.
C．Those with good comments.
D．Those with related information.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话“The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”可知选D。
4．How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews？(　　)
A．It helps to finish the reviews.
B．It pays attention to the bad reviews.
C．It offers gifts for the good reviews.
D．It tries to make the reviews objective.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容“A publishing house offered gift vouchers to anyone who would give their textbooks a fivestar review. But not all online companies operate like this. ‘Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews，’”可知，选D。
B
Recently I invited a homeless man to have lunch with me at the Soup Plantation so that he could eat as much as he wanted to fill his stomach. I met him over the phone when I was calling Father Benno's, a soup kitchen. Something within stirred me to invite him to lunch. Since he did not have a car, I offered to pick him up.
We had a wonderful fourhour lunch. I learned a lot about his struggles, but more importantly, I finished lunch feeling a greater gratitude (感激) for a roof over my head, a warm shower, a comfortable bed, and food on the table—all of which we may not think twice about. He, too, enjoyed the connection, his lunch, and a rest from spending his afternoon on the streets.
I learned long ago that one person alone cannot solve the problem of the homeless people in California or the United States of America. However, each person can make an effort to help the homeless in their own way. Do you know that 40% of the U. S. population live paycheck (薪水) to paycheck Should a sudden financial (财务的) case appear, any one of those 40% can end up homeless on the streets.
For this holiday season, perhaps you may want to try something new. Buy a meal for the person asking for money instead of giving them spare change. If you can make the time and find courage, invite them to share a meal with you. Jesse Jackson once said, “Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up，” and Rumi told us, “When we practice loving kindness and pity, we are the first one to benefit from it.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者邀请一个无家可归的人共进午餐，度过了一个美妙的四小时午餐。这也让作者对自己的生活更加感激。
5．What does the underlined word “stirred” in the first paragraph probably mean？(　　)
A．Limited. B．Allowed.
C．Begged. D．Encouraged.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据上文可知，最近，作者邀请了一位无家可归的人与自己在Soup Plantation餐厅共进午餐，这样他就可以想吃多少就吃多少，填饱他的肚子。由此可知，画线单词所在的句子意思是，作者心中有个念头鼓励自己请这个无家可归的人来吃午饭。即画线单词意思为“鼓励”。
6．What was the author thankful for？(　　)
A．The homeless man.
B．The length of the lunch.
C．The condition of his life.
D．The connection with the man.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，作者了解了那位无家可归的人的挣扎，但更重要的是，作者吃完午饭，对有一个住的地方、一个热水澡、有一张舒适的床、桌上的食物——所有这些我们可能不会多想的东西有了更大的感激之情。由此可知，作者感激他的生活状况。
7．What does the author think of those who live on paycheck？(　　)
A．They live a comfortable life.
B．They just make ends meet.
C．They are really homeless people.
D．They look down upon the homeless.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“Do you know that 40% of the U．S. population live paycheck to paycheck Should a sudden financial case appear, any one of those 40% can end up homeless on the streets.(你知道40%的美国人都是靠工资生活的吗？如果突然出现财务问题，那40%中的任何一个人最终都可能无家可归)”。可推知，作者认为那些靠薪水生活的人只是维持了生计而已。
8．Which of the following doesn't the author advise us to do？(　　)
A．Try something new.
B．Buy a meal for a person asking for money.
C．Give money to the homeless.
D．Invite a person asking for money to share a meal.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，作者建议，在这个假期，如果你想尝试一些新的东西，可以为要钱的人买一顿饭，而不是给他们多余的零钱。如果你有时间和勇气，还可以请他们和你一起吃顿饭。由此可知，作者不建议我们给无家可归的人钱。

5．答案：F
解析：关联逻辑法解题。根据上文“...and students will compete against each other in individual events.”可知，在这些活动中，学生们要比赛，为了获奖。F项“These meets often last all day, and winners typically receive medals after a competition.”符合语境。故选F项。课时作业(三)　Unit 1　Part Ⅲ　Developing ideas

层级二　语言能力训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
People get first impression in seconds, but what exactly are they looking at when they judge you
A professor Amy Cuddy and her group have been studying first impressions for more than 15 years, and have discovered something in common. In her new book Presence, Cuddy says people quickly answer two questions when they first meet you: Can I trust this person Can I respect this person
Psychologists translate these questions as warmth and competence (能力), and usually, we want to be seen as having both. Interestingly, Cuddy says that most people, especially in their workplace, believe that competence is the more important one. After all, they want to prove that they are smart and talented enough to do their job well. But in fact, warmth, or trustworthiness, is the most important one in how people judge you. “From an evolutionary (进化的) point of view，” Cuddy says, “it matters more to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.”
While competence is highly valued, Cuddy says it is considered only after trust is set up. And focusing too much on showing your strength can backfire. Cuddy says MBA students often care so much about being seen as smart and competent that it can lead them to avoid social events, not to ask for help, and generally to come off as unfriendly. These overachievers (特优者) invite their trouble when they don't get the job offer because nobody gets to know and trust them as people.
“If someone you're trying to influence doesn't trust you, you're not going to get very far. In fact, you might even be considered not reliable because you come across as bossy (专横的)，” Cuddy says. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also strong gets admiration, but only after you've established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当人们在评判一个人的时候，一个温暖、值得信赖、坚强的人会让人钦佩，会给人留下好的第一印象。
1．Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1？(　　)
A．To offer a tip.
B．To present a belief.
C．To predict the ending.
D．To introduce the topic.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“People get first impression in seconds, but what exactly are they looking at when they judge you？”以及第二段第一句“A professor Amy Cuddy and her group have been studying first impressions for more than 15 years, and have discovered something in common.”可推知，作者在第一段中提出这个问题是为了引出话题。故选D项。
2．What is the most important factor in how people make a judgement on a person？(　　)
A．Warmth. B．Selflessness.
C．Smartness. D．Talent.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“But in fact, warmth, or trustworthiness, is the most important one in how people judge you.”可知，人们对一个人做出判断时，最重要的因素是热情。故选A项。
3．What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 4？(　　)
A．Leave a job.
B．Catch a big fire.
C．Cause bad effects.
D．Shoot bullets from a gun.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“Cuddy says MBA students often care so much about being seen as smart and competent that it can lead them to avoid social events, not to ask for help, and generally to come off as unfriendly.”可知，MBA的学生往往非常在意自己被视为聪明能干的，这可能导致他们回避社交活动，不寻求帮助，通常给人留下不友好的印象。故可猜测画线单词backfire与C项“Cause bad effects.(造成不良影响)”意思一致。故选C项。
4．What is the best title for the text？(　　)
A．Competence First, Warmth Second
B．The Importance of First Impression
C．Trust Deciding First Good Impressions
D．The Secret to Success of MBA Students
答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“A warm, trustworthy person who is also strong gets admiration...”可知，文章主要介绍的是当人们评判一个人的时候，一个温暖、值得信赖、坚强的人会让人钦佩，会给人留下好的第一印象。文章最佳标题是“信任决定好的第一印象”。故选C项。

I met a beautiful soul yesterday. I went to work with my computer to a local cafe so that I could have dinner there. It was raining a bit this time and also I was among people. Sometimes when you work from home all day, this is in itself a treat. And the magic of connection sometimes happens—a smile, someone offering you the newspaper, a short conversation with the staff, a peace dove flying past and lots of possibilities for love and kindness.
Well, magic did happen. I heard a man who was speaking with difficulty and very loud. I noticed he could not speak so clearly and he had some kind of impairment (损伤). As often happened, people looked at him—or avoided doing so—and then—as if embarrassed or afraid—looked down. In these cases, I try to do the opposite. I imagined a person in these circumstances would want to feel included.
So I decided to deliberately look at him and smile. It was an instant! He looked at me, smiled and immediately said hello. With a combination of spoken and body language he asked if he could approach me. I agreed. He introduced me to his friend who taught sign language online and explained that they were both deaf, after which he even told me about his wife and how he loved teaching. I apologized for not knowing sign language and hoped I'd learnt. We still managed to have a beautiful conversation which made us all very happy. I'm sure we'll meet again to experience the magic of being and being with others.

You may like the fat, happy man who brings presents to kids on Christmas Eve. But do you know why he's called Santa Claus and why he is dressed in red The history of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with a man called Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas lived in Myra, which is now called Turkey. He came from a rich family，but he felt sorry for poor people and decided to give them all his money. Nicholas，though, was shy and didn't want people to know he gave them money. So he climbed onto the roofs of houses on Christmas Eve and dropped bags of money down their chimneys. He wore red clothes when he did this. Nicholas died in 340 AD.

Mikah Frye, a 9－year－old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night.Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.
That thought stayed in Mikah Frye's mind and when he reached home, Mikah told his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realised that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless.He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.
Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter.Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night.Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.
Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalised message of hope in Mikah's handwriting stating “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it.That's why I want you to have your own blanket.Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too.Your friend, Mikah.”
The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion－dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa's list of nice boys” that year.

I am a self－taught maker of gingerbread(姜饼) houses. It wasn't something I ever did growing up. In fact, gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking (烘焙) project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.
But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest (比赛). I went home and told my kids and we made a house from the start. It took all day and we were covered in icing, but I was blown away by the final product. It was so satisfying to see a little house, decorated with colorful candy. I delivered the house to the library, where it won first place in the family group, and we got a generous $100 in gift certificates (礼券) for local businesses.
Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group. Our houses are not very beautiful; the only thing that sets them apart is the fact that we make the gingerbread from the start. Everyone else uses store－bought ready－made pieces, which makes the houses look the same. Ours, by contrast, is misshapen and leans; my husband refers to it jokingly as “the slanty shanty (倾斜的小屋)”．
If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try. What better way to use that time than making something great with your kids What I hope, too, is that this tradition will give my kids a way to make it feel like Christmas, no matter where they go in life. My hope is that they'll make gingerbread houses wherever they go in life and always think of home.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一家将制作姜饼屋变成了家庭传统。作者希望通过这一传统让孩子们将“家”永远放在心中。

B．It was relaxing and interesting.
C．It made her family connected.

答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.可知，作者认为制作姜饼屋是一件需要付出很多时间和努力，但是产出和回报很少的一件事情。strike sb. as给(某人以……)印象；eat up大量耗费。
29．What changed the author's opinion of gingerbread houses？(　　)
A．Her kids' encouragement.
B．A gingerbread house contest.
C．The meaning behind gingerbread houses.
D．Competition among gingerbread businesses.
答案：B
解析：理解具体信息。根据第二段中的But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest.和第三段中的Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group.以及最后一段中的If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try.可知，从五年前的一次姜饼屋比赛之后，作者改变了对制作姜饼屋的看法。
30．What was special about the author's gingerbread house？(　　)
A．It had a surprising taste.
B．It had a store－bought style.
C．It was made with the best shape.
D．It was completely made by her family.

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple－themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了苹果节上各种各样的苹果。虽说是Apple Day，但该节日会持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想品尝各种各样的苹果，就来参加Apple Day吧！
32．What can people do at the apple events？(　　)
A．Attend experts' lectures.
B．Visit fruit－loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.”可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常品尝到各种各样的苹果。故选D。
33．What can we learn about Decio？(　　)
A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.”可知，见到它会让人开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的Cat's Head这一品种类比，由此判断Decio非常稀少。
34．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(　　)
A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope.
C．A brilliant plan. D．A selfish desire.
答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据本段中的“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...”可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对种植环境要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人想种植它的希望会落空。
35．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？(　　)
A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.
答案：B
解析：写作意图题。根据文章第一段中的“If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.”和第二段中的“Visiting an apple event...”以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。

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。
My husband and I bought a small house in a good neighborhood. It was a oneandahalffloor house. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. I started to paint the walls and the doors outside. I also broke the broken fence (篱笆) and grew some flowers.
After I finished painting the walls of the bedroom upstairs inside, I brought up some water to wash the window. I washed the inside first, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn't open from the outside.
I was so devoted to my housework that I didn't realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning; I tried to open the window but failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor's kids riding their bikes They used to ride back from the park. Now no young voices shouted to one another. Carroll and Julie, an old couple, lived in the house at the corner. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them.
I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, they couldn't walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked by my husband before he went to work. “When you're working on an indoor project, anyone could open the door and come in. So just keep the doors closed.” he said. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and what I should do.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

参考范文：
Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. I stood up and looked down the street. Sure enough, there was a little boy. He was riding his bike. I told him that I was washing the window and it was shut. He looked up, saw me, and laughed. After all, it's not an everyday case that you see an old lady on a roof. I told him to ask my next－door neighbors to come and help me. “Of course，” he simply answered.
The boy went to ask for help. Soon Carroll and Julie came, bringing a long rope with them. And then I climbed down. I sincerely thanked them for their kind help. The doors were locked and the keys were in the house, so my lovely neighbors invited me to their house to celebrate my rescue with coffee, cookies, and laughter. A few hours later, my husband came back. I said thanks to them again and went home. From then on, I definitely believe that a far－off relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor.
