Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection
1.主题语境:人与社会——针对在哪里吃年夜饭的不同观点。
2.语篇类型:专栏文章。
3.课文内容分析:春节亲人团聚是中国世代相传的传统,春节在中国传统文化中所表达的内涵之一就是阖家团圆,共享天伦。如今越来越多的人选择和家人在酒店吃年夜饭,不用准备,不用收拾,一家人齐聚一堂,热热闹闹过新年。对此,本文以书信的方式表达了两种不同的观点。
第一封信是一位软件工程师写的。他和家人在餐馆吃年夜饭已有三年了,他的观点是年夜饭选择在哪里吃都是无所谓的事情;第二封信是一名退休教师写的,他不喜欢年夜饭在餐馆吃,他希望自己的后代应珍惜与家人在一起准备年夜饭的回忆,这一过程更有意义。阅读本文,有利于引发学生思考传统习俗是否应该改变,培养学生的辩证思维意识。

M:Is she reasonable?
W:Yes,she most definitely is.She was always available before,during and after classes to help us with any ideas we couldn’t understand.She was always open to different points.To be honest,I really liked her.I just hated all the readings we had to do in classical literature.
M:Well,I happened to like classical literature.
W:Really?I was more interested in cultural comparison and we barely touched that.
(Text 10)
W:Attention,attention,everyone,please.I want to announce the results of the High-tech Electronics Company’s customer survey.Overall,we got high marks from our customers concerning the quality of our products.They felt that our products were quite modern,and carried a lot of the features they expected in electronics.They especially liked the high-tech cell phone,which combines a cell phone with a camera and an MP4 player.However,I’m very sorry to say that customers were far less satisfied with our customer service.They complained in the survey that their complaints took too long to resolve in person,by phone,or by the Internet.They also complained that our service staff were not always friendly.By contrast,they wrote that many of our competitors have excellent customer service.This is a serious problem that we will have to work on.This is why I’m ordering the Customer Service Department to come up with a plan within one week,explaining how they intend to improve our customer service.There is so much competition in our business,so we must improve our customer service as soon as possible.

Washington is home to lots of trees and lots of wood-burning stoves (火炉),
too.But what if you live there and can’t cut wood or can’t afford to pay anyone to do it?Luckily,Shane McDaniel and his twin sons,Harrison and Henry McDaniel,21,are happy to lend an ax (斧子).The three men cut truckloads of wood—then give the wood to those in need.
The idea was put forward by Shane as a father-son bonding project.He wanted to pass along the feeling his father Jackson and he shared while they cut wood,so he and the twins spent the summer doing their deeds.The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house in Lake Stevens,about 35 miles outside of Seattle.To buy that much would cost about $10,000.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves,and when the weather turned cold that November,Shane started thinking of others.He posted a request on a social networking site:“IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT,PLEASE PM [personal message] ME...Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD.”
The response was immediate.One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove.Others raced over with more wood for the pile.Single dad Peter Ticer,29,and his four-year-old daughter depend on a wood-burning stove as their unique source of heat,so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays.“To get that much wood moved me to tears,”he said.“So much stress and anxiety off my shoulders.I couldn’t be more thankful.”
Giving is the reward.It has nothing to do with how well it’s received;
it’s about how much it’s needed.
24.Which of the following best describes the McDaniels?
A.Energetic. B.Hard-working.
C.Considerate. D.Mean.
25.What does “father-son” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

C.Harrison and Henry.

26.Why did Shane post the message on the Internet?
A.To advertise the wood they cut.
B.To help those in need.
C.To get wood-burning stoves.
D.To ask for others’ help.
27.What is the main idea of the text?
A.A family’s firewood warms their neighbourhood.
B.Cutting down trees teaches a family life lessons.
C.No one goes cold in the McDaniels’ community.
D.Giving is a tradition of cheering up those in need.

Unlike most other holidays,the history of April Fools’ Day,sometimes called All Fools’ Day,is not totally clear.The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582,in France.Before that year,the New Year was celebrated for eight days,beginning on March 25th.The celebration reached the highest point on April 1st.With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX,the Gregorian calendar (公历,阳历) was introduced,and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1st.
However,because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today,many people did not receive the news for several years.Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st.These backward people were considered “fools” by other people.They were often sent on “fools” errands (徒劳无益的工作) or were made the targets of jokes.
This developed,over time,into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April.The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century.It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France.April Fools’ Day thus developed into an international fun feast,so to speak,with different nationalities specialising in their own kind of humour at the expense of their friends and families.

A.March 25th. B.January 1st.
C.April 1st. D.April 3rd.

Fools’ Day?
A.France. B.England.
C.Scotland. D.America.
34.What was people’s attitude towards the new calendar?
A.They accepted it happily.
B.They refused it immediately.
C.Some recognised it.
D.Some laughed at it.
35.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.What the French did on April Fools’ Day.
B.How April Fools’ Day came into being.
C.When the new calendar was introduced.
D.Why some people were fooled in France.

An unforgettable Kite Festival
Last Friday,our school held the Kite Festival successfully.The festival was held in our school playground at 8:00 a m,lasting 3 hours.
During the festival,a wide variety of kites were on display,which attracted many people to visit and enjoy the wonderful kites.At the same time,some students expert in making kites showed how to make a kite on the scene,and some even taught people the way to produce a kite there in person.The most exciting moment was when students were flying kites.Seeing the flying kites in the sky relaxed our eyes and cleared our mind.It was through the activity that we learned a lot about making kites and the history of them.
第二节(满分25分)
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 ten,I was suddenly faced with the suffering of moving from the only home I had ever known.My whole life,brief as it was,had been spent in that big old house,gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.
When the final day came,I ran to the small backyard and sat alone,with tears welling up from my heart.Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder.I looked up to see my grandfather.“It isn’t easy,is it,Billy?”he said softly,sitting down on the steps beside me.
“Grandpa,”I replied through my tears,“how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?”
For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees.“Goodbye is such a sad word,” he said.“It seems too final,too cold,for friends to use.We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common:sadness.”I continued looking into his face.He gently took my hand in his.“Come with me,my friend,”he whispered.
We walked,hand in hand,to his favourite place in the front yard,where a huge red rosebush sat noticeably alone.Kneeling,he pulled me close.“It isn’t just the roses that are beautiful,Billy.It’s that special place in your heart that makes them so.”
His eyes met mine again.“Billy,I planted these roses a long time ago—before your mother came to the world.I put them into the soil the day my first son was born.It was my way of saying ‘thank you’.That boy’s name was Billy,just like yours.I used to watch him pick roses for his mother.”I saw my grandfather’s tears.I had never seen him cry before.His voice became hoarse (沙哑).
注意:续写词数为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
“One day a terrible war came,my son said goodbye to me and went for the war.
Paragraph 2:

One possible version:
“One day a terrible war came,my son said goodbye to me and went for the war.Ten months later a telegram came.My son had died in some tiny village in Italy.All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in life was goodbye.”Grandpa slowly stood up.“Don’t ever say goodbye,Billy.Don’t ever give in to the sadness and the loneliness of that word.I want you remember to take that special hello and lock it away within you.”
A year and a half later,my grandfather became seriously ill.When he returned after several weeks in the hospital,he wanted his bed next to the window,where he could see his beloved rosebush.I noted how tired he looked.His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard.I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine.“Hello,Grandpa,”I whispered.His eyes opened.“Hello,my friend,”he said,with a brief smile.His eyes closed again and I moved on.
Part 2 Developing ideas,Presenting ideas,Reflection
1.主题语境:人与社会——针对在哪里吃年夜饭的不同观点。
2.语篇类型:专栏文章。
3.课文内容分析:春节亲人团聚是中国世代相传的传统,春节在中国传统文化中所表达的内涵之一就是阖家团圆,共享天伦。如今越来越多的人选择和家人在酒店吃年夜饭,不用准备,不用收拾,一家人齐聚一堂,热热闹闹过新年。对此,本文以书信的方式表达了两种不同的观点。
第一封信是一位软件工程师写的。他和家人在餐馆吃年夜饭已有三年了,他的观点是年夜饭选择在哪里吃都是无所谓的事情;第二封信是一名退休教师写的,他不喜欢年夜饭在餐馆吃,他希望自己的后代应珍惜与家人在一起准备年夜饭的回忆,这一过程更有意义。阅读本文,有利于引发学生思考传统习俗是否应该改变,培养学生的辩证思维意识。

W:The class was interesting enough,but Professor Sanford is one of the most difficult teachers I have ever had.She expects a great deal from her students.So if you plan to take the course,be prepared to work very hard.But she’s an extremely intelligent person and she expects similar brilliance from her students.
M:Is she reasonable?
W:Yes,she most definitely is.She was always available before,during and after classes to help us with any ideas we couldn’t understand.She was always open to different points.To be honest,I really liked her.I just hated all the readings we had to do in classical literature.
M:Well,I happened to like classical literature.
W:Really?I was more interested in cultural comparison and we barely touched that.
(Text 10)
W:Attention,attention,everyone,please.I want to announce the results of the High-tech Electronics Company’s customer survey.Overall,we got high marks from our customers concerning the quality of our products.They felt that our products were quite modern,and carried a lot of the features they expected in electronics.They especially liked the high-tech cell phone,which combines a cell phone with a camera and an MP4 player.However,I’m very sorry to say that customers were far less satisfied with our customer service.They complained in the survey that their complaints took too long to resolve in person,by phone,or by the Internet.They also complained that our service staff were not always friendly.By contrast,they wrote that many of our competitors have excellent customer service.This is a serious problem that we will have to work on.This is why I’m ordering the Customer Service Department to come up with a plan within one week,explaining how they intend to improve our customer service.There is so much competition in our business,so we must improve our customer service as soon as possible.

Washington is home to lots of trees and lots of wood-burning stoves (火炉),
too.But what if you live there and can’t cut wood or can’t afford to pay anyone to do it?Luckily,Shane McDaniel and his twin sons,Harrison and Henry McDaniel,21,are happy to lend an ax (斧子).The three men cut truckloads of wood—then give the wood to those in need.
The idea was put forward by Shane as a father-son bonding project.He wanted to pass along the feeling his father Jackson and he shared while they cut wood,so he and the twins spent the summer doing their deeds.The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house in Lake Stevens,about 35 miles outside of Seattle.To buy that much would cost about $10,000.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves,and when the weather turned cold that November,Shane started thinking of others.He posted a request on a social networking site:“IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT,PLEASE PM [personal message] ME...Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD.”
The response was immediate.One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove.Others raced over with more wood for the pile.Single dad Peter Ticer,29,and his four-year-old daughter depend on a wood-burning stove as their unique source of heat,so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays.“To get that much wood moved me to tears,”he said.“So much stress and anxiety off my shoulders.I couldn’t be more thankful.”
Giving is the reward.It has nothing to do with how well it’s received;
it’s about how much it’s needed.
24.Which of the following best describes the McDaniels?
A.Energetic. B.Hard-working.
C.Considerate. D.Mean.
25.What does “father-son” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Shane and Harrison.
B.Jackson and Shane.
C.Harrison and Henry.
D.Shane and the twins.
26.Why did Shane post the message on the Internet?
A.To advertise the wood they cut.
B.To help those in need.
C.To get wood-burning stoves.
D.To ask for others’ help.
27.What is the main idea of the text?
A.A family’s firewood warms their neighbourhood.
B.Cutting down trees teaches a family life lessons.
C.No one goes cold in the McDaniels’ community.
D.Giving is a tradition of cheering up those in need.

Unlike most other holidays,the history of April Fools’ Day,sometimes called All Fools’ Day,is not totally clear.The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582,in France.Before that year,the New Year was celebrated for eight days,beginning on March 25th.The celebration reached the highest point on April 1st.With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX,the Gregorian calendar (公历,阳历) was introduced,and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1st.
However,because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today,many people did not receive the news for several years.Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st.These backward people were considered “fools” by other people.They were often sent on “fools” errands (徒劳无益的工作) or were made the targets of jokes.
This developed,over time,into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April.The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century.It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France.April Fools’ Day thus developed into an international fun feast,so to speak,with different nationalities specialising in their own kind of humour at the expense of their friends and families.
32.According to an earlier calendar,when was New Year’s Day in France?
A.March 25th. B.January 1st.
C.April 1st. D.April 3rd.
33.Which of the following first had the tradition of celebrating the April
Fools’ Day?
A.France. B.England.
C.Scotland. D.America.
34.What was people’s attitude towards the new calendar?
A.They accepted it happily.
B.They refused it immediately.
C.Some recognised it.
D.Some laughed at it.
35.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.What the French did on April Fools’ Day.
B.How April Fools’ Day came into being.
C.When the new calendar was introduced.
D.Why some people were fooled in France.

A housewarming party
A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.The person or people who bought the apartment or house or moved are the ones who throw the party.36. It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.It is an opportunity to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.
It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.37. Some common items (物品) people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and items like curtains.Even if there isn’t a registry,a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like,a piece of art or a plant.38. This is often appreciated since at a housewarming party there isn’t a lot of food served,usually just appetizers or sandwiches.
39. The host or hostess of the party will,however,probably give all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes,because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into a new home,people may be asked to help unpack boxes.This isn’t usual though.
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for the winter.40.
A.You can also bring food or drinks to share.
B.Different activities are held to make guests satisfied.
C.There are usually no planned activities at a housewarming party.
D.Now most homes substitute (替代) fires with central heating to keep warm.
E.Different people hold or attend housewarming parties for various reasons.
F.Some people register a list of things they would like to give as gifts at local stores.

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述中国新年的有关情况和庆祝新年的一些习俗。阅读本文有利于增进学生对中国新年的了解,增强民族自豪感和文化自信。
答案及剖析:
56.which 考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Chinese New Year,指物。
57.is known 考查时态和语态。it指代Chinese New Year,和谓语动词know之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;且全文是一般现在时,因此用一般现在时的被动语态。短语be known as意为“作为……而为人所知”。
58.of 考查固定短语。短语at the beginning of意为“在……的开始”。
59.lasts 考查时态。last是谓语动词,和主语it之间为主动关系,且全文是一般现在时。
60.Traditionally 考查副词。修饰整个句子,用副词。
61.started 考查时态。主语从句中start是谓语动词,和主语the tradition之间为主动关系;“传统何时开始”是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。
62.writer 考查名词。作主语,应用名词,根据句意,应为“作者”。
63.bamboos 考查名词复数。many和名词复数形式连用;bamboo的复数直接加s。
64.a 考查冠词和固定短语。固定短语as a result意为“由于……的结果,因此”。
65.to avoid 考查非谓语动词。根据句意,用动词不定式作目的状语,意为“为了驱除”。

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 ten,I was suddenly faced with the suffering of moving from the only home I had ever known.My whole life,brief as it was,had been spent in that big old house,gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.
When the final day came,I ran to the small backyard and sat alone,with tears welling up from my heart.Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder.I looked up to see my grandfather.“It isn’t easy,is it,Billy?”he said softly,sitting down on the steps beside me.
“Grandpa,”I replied through my tears,“how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?”
For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees.“Goodbye is such a sad word,” he said.“It seems too final,too cold,for friends to use.We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common:sadness.”I continued looking into his face.He gently took my hand in his.“Come with me,my friend,”he whispered.
We walked,hand in hand,to his favourite place in the front yard,where a huge red rosebush sat noticeably alone.Kneeling,he pulled me close.“It isn’t just the roses that are beautiful,Billy.It’s that special place in your heart that makes them so.”
His eyes met mine again.“Billy,I planted these roses a long time ago—before your mother came to the world.I put them into the soil the day my first son was born.It was my way of saying ‘thank you’.That boy’s name was Billy,just like yours.I used to watch him pick roses for his mother.”I saw my grandfather’s tears.I had never seen him cry before.His voice became hoarse (沙哑).

A year and a half later,my grandfather became seriously ill.When he returned after several weeks in the hospital,he wanted his bed next to the window,where he could see his beloved rosebush.I noted how tired he looked.His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard.I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine.“Hello,Grandpa,”I whispered.His eyes opened.“Hello,my friend,”he said,with a brief smile.His eyes closed again and I moved on.
