Six months ago, 19-year-old Xie Lei left her hometown and flew to London. It was her first time to go abroad. She felt excited as well as nervous, not sure about the life ahead. Xie Lei is a business student in China and she is now in the UK on a one-year exchange programme. She decided to apply for it because she wanted to learn more about global business, improve her English and prepare to set up her own company after graduation.
When she first arrived, Xie Lei had plenty of difficulties to deal with. She had to adapt to a brand-new lifestyle. She learned to use local public transport and communicate with strangers. Sometimes she got lost and had to ask passers-by for help. However, native speakers spoke too fast and used unfamiliar expressions, so she often asked them to repeat. Unlike other international students, she did not choose to live on campus. Instead, she stayed with a host family. The warm family helped her get used to local culture and comforted her when she felt homesick. They even enjoyed learning Chinese culture and cooking Chinese food together with her.
Apart from daily life, she also met academic pressure. British teachers pay great attention to students’ independent thinking. When writing essays, students must offer their own ideas instead of only copying others’ opinions. In addition, class discussion and presentations are important parts of final grades. At first, Xie Lei was shy and quiet in class. Gradually, she became brave enough to share her thoughts. Now she has finished half of her exchange time. She not only studies hard but also takes part in social activities. She proudly acts as a cultural messenger to connect China and Britain.

B．To study global business and improve English.
C．To visit her foreign friends in the UK.

Pizza: The World’s Favorite Food
Food, and the way we eat it, are always changing. As society develops, we learn new ways of growing, processing and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes food that has done this successfully is pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal family. He was very worried they wouldn’t like it, but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese, and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Italians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today, they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas. That’s more than $100 per American!
The pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today’s super-fast society, people often don’t have the time or energy to cook. So, they order take-out and very often, it’s a pizza. Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up; it’s delivered to your home. If you don’t even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up!
The pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.
28. What did the pizza first appear as
A．Home-made white bread.
B．Fast food for travelers.
C．A dish for the royal family.
D．A popular local food.
29. When did the pizza arrive in New York
A．In 1889.
B．In the 1890s.
C．In 1905.
D．In the 1940s.
30. In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top
A．Japan.
B．Belgium.
C．Sweden.
D．Australia.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us
A．How the pizza gets popular.
B．Who made the first pizza.
C．How the pizza is made.
D．Where the pizza comes from.

Studying abroad may be exciting, but it is a little less exciting when you face all the cultural differences in a single day.
When I was in middle school, I decided to make a cultural exchange in Munich, Germany during my first year studying German. The exchange included spending ten days at the home of the assigned (指定的) family to experience how German kids live and what they do and to observe the similarities and differences between that culture and the Italian culture.
As soon as we landed, we were greeted by the boys and girls who had been assigned to us. I was assigned to Alana, a typical German girl. When we were on the bus, we listened to some music and sang out loud, which are usually done during school trips by Italian kids. Being watched by all the German kids, we realized our behavior led to an abnormal climate for them.
What I feared most was that I had to face another culture all by myself. Once we arrived home, we introduced ourselves. At lunchtime, we decided to go to a restaurant in the area. Before entering the restaurant, Alana’s father, Max, opened the door first for himself, and then he let us in. The first thing I thought was how rude it was, and then I knew that German males go in rooms first to make sure the place is safe, then let the women in.
After dinner, we saw a soccer match between German teams, and for the first time I realized how soccer is a very popular sport, just like in Italy. Totally different from the Italian culture, at 10: 00 pm we were already in bed. This was my first time going to bed at that time. I rolled over in bed and couldn’t get to sleep quickly.
This exchange made me realize the differences between cultures and how culture shock, which is only a concept students study at school, works, but especially I learned that what seems normal to me can be something very improper in another country, even if that country is just a few miles away.
32. What can we know about the cultural exchange the author took part in
A．It combined German culture with Italian culture.
B．It helped her learn about German kids’ lifestyle.
C．Its aim was to teach Italian students standard German.
D．Its focus was on students with multi-culture backgrounds.
33. What may the German kids think about singing out loud on the bus
A．Understandable.
B．Exciting.
C．Unwelcome.
D．Funny.
34. Why do German males go in rooms first according to the author
A．To stress their leadership position in the family.
B．To protect the family from possible danger.
C．To order food for the family in advance.
D．To show respect for guests.
35. What does the author draw from her experience
A．Culture shock can be difficult to deal with.
B．Students should develop their adaptive ability.
C．Studying abroad can be beneficial in many ways.
D．Culture shock can be a common and normal phenomenon.
第二节 七选五
There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet. For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. ___36___ However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. This is true regardless of how healthy the rest of their diet might be. Put more simply, while people continue to argue over whether or not fatty food is dangerous, we already know that sugar is a killer.
___37___ The average American gets 1/3 of his or her sugar through sweet drinks alone. The American Heart Association recommends that we limit ourselves to less than 100-150 calories a day from sugar, which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar. In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts, and cut out sweet drinks altogether.
Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. ___38___ Besides this, it is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet, as they provide the necessary protein for strong bones and muscle growth. As with everything in life, moderation is key. The ideal diet is a balanced one, without too much or too little of any one thing.
Finally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry. Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better, and will allow you to enjoy your food more. ___39___ It is also better to eat a modest amount of food each time, rather than to eat a lot in one meal, and then a little in the next.
There is no one trick to healthy eating. Rather, healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude towards food. ___40___ If you are using food mostly for nutrition, then you are on the right track with your diet. However, if food has become the centre of your life, you might be on the road to bad health. It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet.
A．Much of this extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.
B．Many people are worried about their daily diet quality.
C．Processed foods often contain less nutrition, while having higher quantities of sugar, salt, and fat than fresh ingredients.
D．In addition, studies show that consistent eating habits are better for our health.
E．A proper eating habit helps people stay away from diseases.
F．One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat ”
G．They remind people to keep away from fatty food in daily life.
二、完形填空
CULTURE AND CUISINE
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” ___41___ simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today ___42___ this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to our personality, character, and culture.
Chinese cuisine is a perfect ___43___. Before coming to China, my only ___44___ of Chinese cooking was in America, where the food had been ___45___ to suit American tastes. Take General Tso’s chicken as an example. It is fried chicken ___46___ in a sweet sauce with hot red peppers. It is not an authentic Chinese dish, so it can’t show Chinese culture. ___47___, it shows Americans love bold, simple flavors and they are open to new foods.
Later, I experienced authentic Chinese food in China. When we first arrived in Beijing, a friend ___48___ a Sichuan restaurant to us. Not knowing Chinese, we didn’t know how to order. The chef ___49___ served us many delicious dishes. We got to ___50___ the special taste of Sichuan peppercorns.
Then we moved to Shandong. I loved boiled dumplings with vinegar. Making dumplings is a family ___51___ there, with all family members joining in. Later, I learned pancake rolls with green onions are Shandong’s most ___52___ food. In northern Xinjiang, the Kazak and Inner Mongolian people’s traditional foods are ___53___ over fire, like lamb kebab. In South and central China, we tried Guangdong’s dim sum and Henan’s stewed noodles. Everywhere, food ___54___ local culture.
Through food, Chinese people show friendship and kindness. We can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand. You can never truly understand a culture ___55___ experiencing its food.
41. A．Put B．Made C．Said D．Taken
42. A．devote B．connect C．compare D．prefer

Since Liuzhou is a city full of Luosifen restaurants, with many near one another, ___57___ (walk) down the street, you can even smell it!

67. 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。
When I was six, I played my first soccer game. It was a real game, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams, Team One and Team Two, seemed pretty evenly matched, at least in the beginning. The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side. We were all still learning how to play the game properly, and our inexperience ran through this part. We stumbled over the ball, tripped over our own feet, and often completely missed our kicks. But what mattered most was that we were having fun, pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game. Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补), except for me—I was left guarding the goal. On the other side, Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field, which made things even more challenging for us. It seemed that winning suddenly become essential, even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game, and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal. I was determined to do my best, but it was tough. I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players. Team Two began to score, one goal after another. I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather, trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting, and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me. I shouted, I ran, and I dove, but they kept scoring. I gave it everything I had, but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines, and I could see them in the crowd. As the game progressed, I could see the change in my father’s expression. He had been urging me to try harder, yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines, but now he seemed different. I could see the pain in his eyes, the pain he felt seeing me struggle. It made me want to cry.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and it was half-time break.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me.

67 参考范文
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and it was half-time break. I walked off the field with my head hanging down, tears welling up in my eyes. Just then, my father walked towards me gently. He patted my shoulder softly and told me not to feel upset. He said he was proud of me because I had tried my best all the time. Winning was not the most important thing.
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me. I wiped away my tears and nodded firmly. During the second half, I kept fighting bravely though we finally lost the game. Thanks to my father’s encouragement, I understood that true victory lies in never giving up. I will keep this valuable lesson in my mind forever.
