一、阅读理解

1. Something extraordinary happened last month at Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas. The school— with a student population of nearly 900, about 90 percent from low-income families­­­­— planned to host its first “Breakfast with Dads”. About 150 male students, ages 11 to 13, signed up. But event organizers were concerned that some would attend without their Dads at their side, so they put out a call for volunteers who could serve as fathers.

When the day came for the event, nearly 600 men showed up to help and mentor(指导) the boys, some of them volunteering for the first time.

Back in December, the team ran into some difficulties when planning their annual “Breakfast with Dads” events. Dade’s community organizer Ellyn Favors mentioned that students’

participation was low because of some young men not having a father to attend the event. So she decided to post a call for volunteers on Facebook in the hope of finding 50 male mentors to accompany the middle school boys.

Then it led the team to move the event from the cafeteria into the gymnasium so they could house more guests. Team members from Big Thought, the Office OF Cultural Affairs, and even the organizer’s personal friends showed up alongside the male mentors to make the event possible. “I will never forget witnessing the young students surrounded by supportive community

members. There were so many volunteers, that at times I saw young men surrounded in the center of 4-5 mentors. They were laughing. They were talking. They were discussing. They even trusted each other in such short time.” said Ellyn.

1.How many students at Billy Earl Dade Middle School come from low-income families? A.900 B.600 C.810 D.150

2.Why did the organizers put out a call for volunteer fathers? A.Because they needed enough adult men to build a gymnasium. B.Because they were worried that some boys would have no courage. C.Because the event was about how to be a successful father.

D.Because they were worried that some boys would attend the event without a father. 3.What does the underlined word “it” mean in the 5th paragraph? A.The students in the school were from low-income families. B.Ellyn Favors posted a call for volunteer on Facebook. C.There were about 600 volunteers taking part in the event. D.Only 150 boy students signed up to have breakfast with dads.

4.How would the students feel when they got help from the volunteer fathers? A.They would feel encouraged and warm. B.They would feel upset and helpless

C.They would feel frustrated and negative. D.They would feel energetic and mad.

2. There was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.

To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!

The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.

In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the

workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”.

It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularised a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.

As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”. Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day,

“afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea” has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.

1.Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England? A.Thomas Garway. B.The Royal Family. C.The Earl of Sandwich. D.The Duchess of Bedford.

2.What does the underlined word “institution” mean in Paragraph 4? A.drink B.workplace C.tradition D.order

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.

B.Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens” at their workplace. C.“High tea” was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.

D.The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800. 4.What is the best title of the passage? A.The Popularity of Tea B.Tea and the British

C.Tea and the Middle Class D.The History of Tea

3. I travel a lot, and I find out different\the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标 )in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, \past a fruit market. The post office is opposite to the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, \

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. \minutes from here.” You say,“Yes, but how many miles away is it? \.

It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say,\one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that%usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan! 1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _______. A.describe the place carefully B.show him a map of the place C.tell him the names of the streets

D.refer to recognizable buildings and places

2.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______. A.in order to save time B.as a test

C.so as to be polite D.for fun

3.What can we infer from the text?

A.It's important for travellers to understand cultural differences. B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. C.People have similar understandings of politeness. D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

4. The unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The language is a highly developed high—pitch system of whistling to communicate in rugged(崎岖的)areas where people mostly cannot see each other.It can allow people to communicate across great distances,up to 5 kilometers.Compared with other similar whistle

languages in Spain’s Canary Islands,in Mexico,or in Greek villages,it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.

This unusual form of communication,which dates some 500 years ago,to the Ottoman Empire was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.

But 50 years ago,it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.

For centuries,the language has been passed on from grandparent to parent,from parent to child Now,though,many of its most proficient speakers who use their tongue,teeth and fingers are aging all becoming physically weak.Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words,and in a few generations it may be gone for good.

“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys.It has many benefits over yelling,which is bad for our throats.”said Avni Kocek,head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology,“bird language is still used by many of

us.Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”

Besides,the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instill the practice in younger generations.

1.What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages? A.It is used as a means of communication. B.It is older and has a larger number of users. C.It can send more messages to farther places. D.It is a completely different system of whistling. 2.What’s the biggest threat to the bird language?

A.Other whistle languages are more effectively protected. B.The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing. C.Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old. D.Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.

3.What’s the most effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language? A.It has become a subject at primary schools.

B.Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month. C.Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area. D.All parents are required to transmit it to their children. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Preserving the Endangered

B.ird languageB.The Story of a Bird Language Speaker C.Celebrating the Bird Language Festival D.The Disappearance of Bird Language 二、七选五

5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When lining up at the checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem to be moving faster than the one we are standing in. Now The New York Times has put together the research to give you an understanding of the math and psychology (心理) of queuing. ①__________

It’s important to pick someone with a full cart. Every person requires a fixed amount of time to greet and clear out of the lane. And that amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per person. ②__________ Do the math. If there are five people ahead of you, each with 10 items in their carts,

the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there is only one person ahead of you, with 50 items in the cart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. ③__________ For example, four bottles of the same milk will definitely go faster than four completely different items.

In some places, there may just be one line leading to several checkout counters. The person at the head of the line goes to the next available counter. This is known as a “serpentine line (蛇形排队)”. You should always choose it. ④__________

In fact, around 90 percent of people are right-handed, which means they tend to naturally go to the right. ⑤__________ It will give you a better chance of finding a faster line. A.There are different ways to tell which customers will move faster. B.It has also offered tips on picking the fastest line.

C.Even if one of the cashiers is slow, it won’t hold up an entire line.

D.So a better understanding of waiting can make it a bit more bearable (可承受的). E.As a result, heading to the opposite direction helps. F.The items in their carts are also important.

G.By contrast, the time that each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds. 三、完形填空
