(Text 10)
W:When I was young,I dreamt of being a famous designer.I was so crazy about designing clothes that I painted many pictures everywhere.My mother was often mad at me when she saw my paintings everywhere on the walls in our house.She always hoped that I could be a teacher.I guess she wanted me to follow her footsteps.My father,however,expected me to become a photographer.He even bought me a camera and all kinds of professional books and encouraged me to attend youth photo contests.However,as you can see,my friends,I finally became a TV host.Life is unpredictable.Sometimes you may not achieve the dreams you once had in your childhood.But it doesn’t matter.And it doesn’t mean you’ll have to give up your dreams.You can always leave your dream in your heart and keep it as a lifetime hobby.As for me,I am still good at designing and choosing beautiful clothes.It’s a great way to relax in my spare time.I also love photography and travelling.All my friends like the photos I take for them.

第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are many fun,free activities that you can do as a family.All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time.And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays,and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own.Charades (字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family art time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art.It doesn’t need to be just a drawing—take some old magazines,let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape.Or let them use leaves,branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money.If the weather is nice,take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family field trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent.Ask a nearby farm if you could bring your kids out for a tour to see some of the animals.Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature.Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work—you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others,and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了几个以家庭为单位的免费活动,这些活动能带给参与的家庭很多的乐趣和回忆。

[C] Tourists. [D] Teenagers.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,这篇文章主要介绍了几个以家庭为单位的免费活动,这些活动能带给参与的家庭很多的乐趣和回忆。由此可推测这篇文章主要是写给父母的。故选A。
B
Josie,who is 17 years old,said,“Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do For example,my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face,but she always shouts through the walls to me.What can I do ”
That is a very good point.Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致),and usually they don’t realise it.You see this a lot in many things like smartphones.Parents always say to their kids,“Oh,you can’t use that.That device (设备) is bad for you,so stop using it at the table.It’s harmful.”But then they are on theirs continually.So what do you expect teenagers to do
The whole “Do as I say,not as I do” thing is an annoyance,especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them.
What can teenagers do with it I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls,but you do it to me,so you can understand where I’m coming from.That’s not ideal.” They might object to it,but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say,“That’s a reasonable point.”
There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents,but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue.If you can talk at a time when you’re both feeling a bit calmer,like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant,then go in and say,“Can I just mention it You tell me not to do this,but you do it too.”
If you can approach it in a more calm and stress-free manner,most parents will respond positively.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了父母在教育青少年时言行不一的问题,建议青少年应该冷静地和父母沟通。

[A] Object to it personally.
[B] Complain of it continually.
[C] Talk with their parents calmly.
[D] Do some studies differently.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like...”可知,面对父母教育时言行不一的问题,青少年应该冷静地和父母沟通。故选C。

C
Family traditions are experiences or activities that are passed down between generations.
These traditions can be as unique and special as the family itself.In addition to being something to look forward to, traditions also establish a foundation for family values and serve as special bonding (联系) experiences.
Traditions can provide families with a sense of identity and belonging.They can inspire positive feelings and memories upon which family members can recall.Family traditions also provide a sense of continuity across generations.In other words, they are a way of transferring the family’s values, history, and culture from one generation to the next.
People create and maintain family traditions because they bring meaning to celebrations and foster (培养) special bonds.More importantly, traditions create positive experiences and memories for everyone by nurturing a family’s connection and giving them a sense of belonging.
Family traditions also help children understand who they are and what is important to the family to which they belong.Traditions create a connection for children that comes from feeling like they are part of something that is unique and extraordinary.Family traditions can even contribute to children’s self-esteem (自尊) and enhance their well-being.After all, children find comfort and security when things are predictable and consistent.
Family traditions don’t have to be formal nor do they have to cost money.All that is required to create a new family tradition is something meaningful to your family and a little creativity.Additionally, family traditions do not have to revolve (围绕) around the holidays.
You can create family traditions for just about any time of year.Simply look for ways for your family to spend time together doing something they enjoy.

My dad doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does.Every Saturday he produces homemade bread.When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious.
The rest of the week, Dad fixes cars at work.The shop where Dad works is running so well that he is always occupied.He is under a lot of stress.I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax.
I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t make the school swim team.Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again.Plus, I’m taking some difficult classes this year.
　　I think Dad knew I was feeling bad.Last Saturday he asked me how things were going.I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all.He looked at me for a moment, and then he said it was time for me to help.Then he headed to the kitchen. I followed right behind him.Once we were there, Dad took out his big mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden spoon, and told me to mix while he added the ingredients.Dad isn’t big on measuring.He knows how much of each ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great.
When I finished stirring, Dad showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团).Next came the most difficult part—doing nothing.We put the dough back into the bowl and then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly rise and double in size.Next, we divided it into two and waited for it to rise again.Afterwards, we put the dough into pans and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double. Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part.“It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be hard.The most important lesson of all is learning to let it be.” Dad taught me more than how to bake bread.

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family
Communication is important for strong family relationships.However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.36.　　
Listen actively.
When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things.It’s important to make your family member feel heard and valued.Put your phone away and give them your full attention.Never think about other things when someone is talking.37.　　
Repeat what has been said.
Briefly summarising what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication.Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family member’s point can show you are listening.38.　 　　 It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well.
Do not interrupt.
39.　　　Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response.This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking.Do not talk over someone either.No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.
40.　
Never rush the person into talking.Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along.Never say things like “Can you get to the point ” This will make it seem like you are not interested in the conversation.
A.Avoid hurrying the speaker.
B.Instead, focus on what’s being said.
C.People tend to pause when they speak.
D.Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation.
E.It can help you make sure you have understood the speaker.
F.When someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary.
G.Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了和家人沟通时如何做一名好的听众。

38.【答案】 E
【解析】 本段紧扣“重复别人说过的话”进行论证,空处与前一句构成递进关系,故E项承接上文,符合语境。E项中的It指代前一句中的repeating a family member’s point。故选E。
39.【答案】 D
【解析】 本段主旨句为“不要打断”,故D项“打断会阻碍有效的交流”符合语境。D项中的Interrupting对应主旨句中的interrupt。故选D。
40.【答案】 A
【解析】 本段的主旨是“避免催促说话者”,故A项“不要催促说话者”能概括本段主旨。A项中的hurrying照应空后一句中的rush。故选A。

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Persons,places,or things become dearer to us when they are not with us or within our reach.Something like this also happened with the two siblings (姐弟),Amy and Andy.
Amy was two years older than Andy.They couldn’t tolerate each other and kept fighting.Their parents tried to create a friendly relationship between them,but nothing worked.
One day,when the siblings had another fight,their parents had to take a serious step.It was noon when their parents had gone to sleep.The children slid into the kitchen and started fighting over a jar of cookies.“These are mine.Don’t touch them,” Amy said in a sharp tone.“Give them to me! Mum brought all these cookies for me!” Andy shouted.They started to snatch the jar from each other until it slipped and fell on the floor.It broke into several pieces that spread all over the floor.Andy accidentally stepped on one broken piece and his foot was cut.He started to cry loudly.
Hearing the cries of Andy,their parents woke up and rushed to the kitchen.When they saw the kitchen floor all messed up and that Andy’s foot was cut,they got angry.“See what you both have done!” their mum said seriously.But they still didn’t stop accusing each other.“It was all Andy’s fault,” Amy said.“No,I also wanted to eat these cookies,” Andy explained,
wiping tears from his eyes.“That’s enough.We don’t want to listen to both of you now,” Dad said in anger.
The parents wanted to end all this nonsense forever.So the next morning,at the breakfast table,their parents announced their solution—they would send Andy to a boarding school to study.Andy was unwilling but his parents were determined.But Amy was excited.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
As Andy was gone,Amy was very excited that she was the only child in the house.
Paragraph 2:
Amy was lost in thought all day,wondering whether her parents would bring Andy back home or not.

As Andy was gone,Amy was very excited that she was the only child in the house.The first two days saw an excited Amy,but she soon felt lonely and started to miss Andy.After a week,she begged,“Mum,Dad,please bring Andy back home.” The parents were surprised.Dad jokingly asked if she wanted him back so they could fight again.Amy shook her head,
“No,I will not fight with Andy again.”Tears welling up in her eyes,she choked,“I have realised my mistakes.Please bring him back.I miss him very much!”
Amy was lost in thought all day,wondering whether her parents would bring Andy back home or not.The next day,when Amy returned after school,she was greeted by her brother’s smiling face.Her eyes widened! They gave each other a big hug,apologised and promised never to fight again.Andy had actually not gone to a boarding school.He stayed at his aunt’s house for a week and went to school from there.This was done to teach the siblings a lesson which they would never forget.They became much closer to each other thanks to Andy’s absence during the week.

第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are many fun,free activities that you can do as a family.All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time.And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays,and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own.Charades (字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family art time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art.It doesn’t need to be just a drawing—take some old magazines,let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape.Or let them use leaves,branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money.If the weather is nice,take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family field trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent.Ask a nearby farm if you could bring your kids out for a tour to see some of the animals.Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature.Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work—you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others,and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
(　　)21.When playing the game charades,what are kids supposed to do
[A] Prepare some cakes for each other.
[B] Be quick to follow others’ actions.
[C] Sing a song for each other in turn.
[D] Connect actions with certain words.
(　　)22.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
[A] It costs a lot to visit a park for a family.
[B] You may share your own experience with workers.
[C] You should ask for permission from the farm owner.
[D] All the people will be excited to share what they have with you.
(　　)23.Who’s the passage mainly intended for
[A] Parents. [B] Teachers.
[C] Tourists. [D] Teenagers.
B
Josie,who is 17 years old,said,“Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do For example,my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face,but she always shouts through the walls to me.What can I do ”
That is a very good point.Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致),and usually they don’t realise it.You see this a lot in many things like smartphones.Parents always say to their kids,“Oh,you can’t use that.That device (设备) is bad for you,so stop using it at the table.It’s harmful.”But then they are on theirs continually.So what do you expect teenagers to do
The whole “Do as I say,not as I do” thing is an annoyance,especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them.
What can teenagers do with it I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls,but you do it to me,so you can understand where I’m coming from.That’s not ideal.” They might object to it,but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say,“That’s a reasonable point.”
There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents,but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue.If you can talk at a time when you’re both feeling a bit calmer,like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant,then go in and say,“Can I just mention it You tell me not to do this,but you do it too.”
If you can approach it in a more calm and stress-free manner,most parents will respond positively.
(　　)24.How did Josie feel according to her words in Paragraph 1
[A] Hopeful. [B] Bored.
[C] Proud. [D] Confused.
(　　)25.What does the underlined word “theirs” in Paragraph 2 refer to
[A] The parents’ smartphones.
[B] The tables in the house.
[C] The devices in the house.
[D] The teenagers’ points.
(　　)26.What should teenagers do with their parents’ inconsistency
[A] Object to it personally.
[B] Complain of it continually.
[C] Talk with their parents calmly.
[D] Do some studies differently.
(　　)27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
[A] To list a fact.
[B] To offer a suggestion.
[C] To show a result.
[D] To ask a new question.
C
Family traditions are experiences or activities that are passed down between generations.
These traditions can be as unique and special as the family itself.In addition to being something to look forward to, traditions also establish a foundation for family values and serve as special bonding (联系) experiences.
Traditions can provide families with a sense of identity and belonging.They can inspire positive feelings and memories upon which family members can recall.Family traditions also provide a sense of continuity across generations.In other words, they are a way of transferring the family’s values, history, and culture from one generation to the next.
People create and maintain family traditions because they bring meaning to celebrations and foster (培养) special bonds.More importantly, traditions create positive experiences and memories for everyone by nurturing a family’s connection and giving them a sense of belonging.
Family traditions also help children understand who they are and what is important to the family to which they belong.Traditions create a connection for children that comes from feeling like they are part of something that is unique and extraordinary.Family traditions can even contribute to children’s self-esteem (自尊) and enhance their well-being.After all, children find comfort and security when things are predictable and consistent.
Family traditions don’t have to be formal nor do they have to cost money.All that is required to create a new family tradition is something meaningful to your family and a little creativity.Additionally, family traditions do not have to revolve (围绕) around the holidays.
You can create family traditions for just about any time of year.Simply look for ways for your family to spend time together doing something they enjoy.
(　　)28.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us
[A] The way of creating family traditions.
[B] The foundation of family values and bonds.
[C] The definition and function of family traditions.
[D] The effects of family traditions on family members.
(　　)29.What does the underlined word “transferring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
[A] Passing down. [B] Going against.
[C] Taking away. [D] Referring to.
(　　)30.Why are family traditions important for children
[A] Because they help children love their parents more.
[B] Because they help children behave well in the family.
[C] Because they help children become successful in business.
[D] Because they benefit the development of children’s body and mind.
(　　)31.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
[A] Explain ways to spend holidays.
[B] Advise creating family traditions.
[C] Discuss how to enjoy family time.
[D] Stress the importance of saving money.

My dad doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does.Every Saturday he produces homemade bread.When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious.
The rest of the week, Dad fixes cars at work.The shop where Dad works is running so well that he is always occupied.He is under a lot of stress.I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax.
I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t make the school swim team.Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again.Plus, I’m taking some difficult classes this year.
　　I think Dad knew I was feeling bad.Last Saturday he asked me how things were going.I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all.He looked at me for a moment, and then he said it was time for me to help.Then he headed to the kitchen. I followed right behind him.Once we were there, Dad took out his big mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden spoon, and told me to mix while he added the ingredients.Dad isn’t big on measuring.He knows how much of each ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great.
When I finished stirring, Dad showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团).Next came the most difficult part—doing nothing.We put the dough back into the bowl and then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly rise and double in size.Next, we divided it into two and waited for it to rise again.Afterwards, we put the dough into pans and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double. Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part.“It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be hard.The most important lesson of all is learning to let it be.” Dad taught me more than how to bake bread.
(　　)32.What can we learn about the author’s father
[A] He is living a relaxing life.
[B] He tries his best to make ends meet.
[C] He has a special way to deal with stress.
[D] He is more like a baker than a mechanic.
(　　)33.Why was the author feeling stressed
[A] Because school life wasn’t going well.
[B] Because he/she disliked making bread.
[C] Because he/she felt sorry for his/her father.
[D] Because some classes weren’t worth it.
(　　)34.What does the underlined sentence “Dad isn’t big on measuring” in Paragraph 4 mean
[A] Dad is unskilled.
[B] Dad dislikes measuring.
[C] Dad has a craze for measuring.
[D] Dad is careful about ingredients.
(　　)35.What lesson has the author learnt from his/her dad
[A] Never give up.
[B] Take life easily.
[C] Believe in yourself.
[D] Enjoy time with family.

How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family
Communication is important for strong family relationships.However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.36.　　
Listen actively.
When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things.It’s important to make your family member feel heard and valued.Put your phone away and give them your full attention.Never think about other things when someone is talking.37.　　
Repeat what has been said.
Briefly summarising what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication.Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family member’s point can show you are listening.38.　 　　 It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well.
Do not interrupt.
39.　　　Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response.This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking.Do not talk over someone either.No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.
40.　
Never rush the person into talking.Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along.Never say things like “Can you get to the point ” This will make it seem like you are not interested in the conversation.
A.Avoid hurrying the speaker.
B.Instead, focus on what’s being said.
C.People tend to pause when they speak.
D.Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation.
E.It can help you make sure you have understood the speaker.
F.When someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary.
G.Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Persons,places,or things become dearer to us when they are not with us or within our reach.Something like this also happened with the two siblings (姐弟),Amy and Andy.
Amy was two years older than Andy.They couldn’t tolerate each other and kept fighting.Their parents tried to create a friendly relationship between them,but nothing worked.
One day,when the siblings had another fight,their parents had to take a serious step.It was noon when their parents had gone to sleep.The children slid into the kitchen and started fighting over a jar of cookies.“These are mine.Don’t touch them,” Amy said in a sharp tone.“Give them to me! Mum brought all these cookies for me!” Andy shouted.They started to snatch the jar from each other until it slipped and fell on the floor.It broke into several pieces that spread all over the floor.Andy accidentally stepped on one broken piece and his foot was cut.He started to cry loudly.
Hearing the cries of Andy,their parents woke up and rushed to the kitchen.When they saw the kitchen floor all messed up and that Andy’s foot was cut,they got angry.“See what you both have done!” their mum said seriously.But they still didn’t stop accusing each other.“It was all Andy’s fault,” Amy said.“No,I also wanted to eat these cookies,” Andy explained,
wiping tears from his eyes.“That’s enough.We don’t want to listen to both of you now,” Dad said in anger.
The parents wanted to end all this nonsense forever.So the next morning,at the breakfast table,their parents announced their solution—they would send Andy to a boarding school to study.Andy was unwilling but his parents were determined.But Amy was excited.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
As Andy was gone,Amy was very excited that she was the only child in the house.
Paragraph 2:
Amy was lost in thought all day,wondering whether her parents would bring Andy back home or not.
