Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter.Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner,Lester Young,Holiday had a great influence on jazz and pop singing.Her voiced style,strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists,pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (节奏).Above all,she was admired for her deeply personal and direct approach to singing.
She co-wrote a few songs,and several of them have become jazz standards,notably GodBlesstheChild,Don’tExplain,and LadySingstheBlues.She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others,including EasyLiving and StrangeFruit.
Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy.But she later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout (星探),John Hammond in 1933.
Her voice and recordings were loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards.Her range of voice was not the greatest,but her extraordinary low rough voice was soon to become very famous and influential.
She was an important icon (偶像) of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing.In the late 1930s she began singing a civil rights song called StrangeFruit,a song which told the tale of a lynching (用私刑处死) of a black man in the Deep South.It was very controversial for that period and it was not played on radios.It was recorded for Commodore Records and she performed it many times over the next 20 years.
Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her attitude toward life.She experienced many violent relationships.She also became increasingly dependent on various drugs which contributed to her early death in 1959,aged just 44.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience,a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe (开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer,vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin,a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer,the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise,making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum,you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century,culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century,sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise,they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们受到艺术的熏陶,还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。

D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
答案A

29.How do museum visits affect people?
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Whatismostimportantisthisexperiencecanhelpthemescapefromtheirownpain”可知,参观博物馆可以让人们逃避痛苦,故A项正确。
30.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
答案C

31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.
答案D

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However,the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
32.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段的内容,尤其是第二、三句,再根据第二段第二句“Italsooperatesasanexpressionofcultureidentity.”可知,文章中提到的食物的作用是显示国家特征。
33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The specific traditional food.
B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old-fashioned taste.
答案A
解析推理判断题。通读第二段可知,传统食物是文化的一个重要部分,它显示了文化特征,移民不管去哪儿都带着它,它象征着对自己文化的骄傲,也是处理乡愁的方法。由此可推知,it指代传统食物。
34.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是第四、五句可知,移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人,还卖给不同国家的人。为了使菜肴迎合顾客的口味,一些移民不得不对传统的菜肴做一些小小的改变。
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A.Negative. B.Objective.
C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.
答案B
解析观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是第一句可知,我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统,但也应该通过尝试其他文化的食物来了解更多的文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交朋友的三个简单步骤。
56.variety 考查固定搭配。根据句意可知,此处考查固定搭配avarietyof,意为“各种各样的”。
57.a 考查冠词。此处struggle为可数名词,且struggle的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用冠词a。
58.charming 考查形容词。根据前面的clever并结合句意可知,此处应用形容词形式。
59.themselves 考查代词。根据句意和主语people可知,此处应用themselves。
60.likes 考查时态和主谓一致。此处是对一般情况的描述,应用一般现在时,且和knows并列作谓语,故填likes。

62.what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,故用what引导该宾语从句。
63.in 考查介词。showaninterestin意为“对……表现出兴趣”,为固定用法。
64.tojoin 考查动词不定式。分析句子结构可知,此处是it作形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语,故填tojoin。
65.usually 考查副词。空处修饰空后的动词like,故用副词usually。

阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段使之构成一个完整的短文。
George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her?” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.

Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter.Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner,Lester Young,Holiday had a great influence on jazz and pop singing.Her voiced style,strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists,pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (节奏).Above all,she was admired for her deeply personal and direct approach to singing.
She co-wrote a few songs,and several of them have become jazz standards,notably GodBlesstheChild,Don’tExplain,and LadySingstheBlues.She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others,including EasyLiving and StrangeFruit.
Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy.But she later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout (星探),John Hammond in 1933.
Her voice and recordings were loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards.Her range of voice was not the greatest,but her extraordinary low rough voice was soon to become very famous and influential.
She was an important icon (偶像) of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing.In the late 1930s she began singing a civil rights song called StrangeFruit,a song which told the tale of a lynching (用私刑处死) of a black man in the Deep South.It was very controversial for that period and it was not played on radios.It was recorded for Commodore Records and she performed it many times over the next 20 years.
Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her attitude toward life.She experienced many violent relationships.She also became increasingly dependent on various drugs which contributed to her early death in 1959,aged just 44.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience,a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe (开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer,vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin,a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer,the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise,making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum,you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century,culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century,sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise,they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们受到艺术的熏陶,还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。

29.How do museum visits affect people?
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
答案A

B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.

31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.
答案D

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However,the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
32.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段的内容,尤其是第二、三句,再根据第二段第二句“Italsooperatesasanexpressionofcultureidentity.”可知,文章中提到的食物的作用是显示国家特征。
33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The specific traditional food.
B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old-fashioned taste.
答案A
解析推理判断题。通读第二段可知,传统食物是文化的一个重要部分,它显示了文化特征,移民不管去哪儿都带着它,它象征着对自己文化的骄傲,也是处理乡愁的方法。由此可推知,it指代传统食物。
34.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是第四、五句可知,移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人,还卖给不同国家的人。为了使菜肴迎合顾客的口味,一些移民不得不对传统的菜肴做一些小小的改变。
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A.Negative. B.Objective.
C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.
答案B
解析观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是第一句可知,我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统,但也应该通过尝试其他文化的食物来了解更多的文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段使之构成一个完整的短文。
George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her?” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.
