One day Kevin's mom was trying to find her glasses.Without her glasses，she could not drive.This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend's house.It was also a mystery and a puzzle.Kevin really wanted to solve this mystery，so he sat down with his mom.

16．（6分）When it comes to internet safety for kids，one important aspect that must be addressed is social media sites.Social media sites such as Facebook can be a great way for kids to interact with each other.But it's also important for parents to be aware of（意识到） the negative effects and dangers of being on such sites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites.Think of the Internet as a Big，Open Space.You wouldn't drop your child off at a big public place like a mall for the day and expect everyone he meets to treat him with kindness and protect his best interests，would you？That is a good analogy（类比）for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.
Be aware of the possibility for bullying （欺负）.While it is probably the case that many children online will have pleasant interactions with friends and peers，for the most part，the truth is that bullying—both online and off—is a reality among children.When you have more opportunity for social interaction，you have more opportunity for rejection or bullying by peers.Keep an eye out for signs that your child may be the one who is bullied，and educate yourself about bullying in school.
Know about something called facebook depression （抑郁症）.Researchers say looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make some kids with poor self﹣esteem（自尊）feel even worse.That makes a certain amount of sense when you consider the fact that people tend to post happy news and photos of themselves at parties on social media sites.Be sure to explain to your child that what he sees on social media sites is definitely not what a person's everyday real life is.People are not likely to post news about failures or mistakes or times when they are not feeling good about themselves.Images of shiny，happy people on such sites tell only a small pair of the much bigger story.
（1）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Social media sites are very good for kids.
B.Happy events in others' lives can influence some kids with poor self﹣esteem.
C.Kids have more opportunities for bullying by peers at school.
D.Happy photos posted on social media sites are people's real life.
（2）The word "unsupervised" in Paragraph 2 probably mean " ".
A.not to be with
B.not under watch and direct
C.not looked for
D.not thought and learned
（3）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A.Learning about Social Media
B.Talking about Social Media
C.Helping Your Kid with Social Media
D.Keeping Your Kid Safe on Social Media
17．（8分）Just like a detective following clues that lead to the perpetrator（罪犯）of a crime，you as a reader must use context （语境）clues within a text passage to tell the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.Context clues are simply hints （提示）or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.These clues can be found in the same sentence as the vocabulary word or elsewhere in the passage，so be on the lookout whenever a new term presents itself.
With reading comprehension （理解）being as important to all aspects of life as it is today，it's no wonder that language skills such as vocabulary are emphasized （强调）.You will most definitely meet vocabulary questions in the reading parts of tests，and you're going to have to use some skills to get you through.
Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary words，even those brand new to you.There may be some words you can't completely understand in a text，but you shouldn't let that discourage you.Inside the passage，where all the interesting clues of vocabulary lie，you can figure challenging words out.
Context clues are also helpful when you're trying to work out the main idea of a passage or struggling to make inferences （推断）about meaning because unknown words can help connect the dots in useful ways.
Every author writes differently，so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading passages.Some authors offer very little explanation for difficult words，throwing difficult vocabulary into their writing wherever they can with little or no help，other authors carefully create their passages to make sure readers follow every step of the way，and most are somewhere in the middle.No matter what degree of help you're given，context clues are your friend.
Generally，context clues can be grouped into four types：
•Definitions （定义）or restatements
•Synonyms （同义词）
•Antonyms or opposites
•Examples or explanations
After examining the context of a passage for clues，you should have at least a vague （模糊的）idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate（估计）to come up with synonyms for the new word，then try these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense.If not，keep searching for hints until you've found something that works.
（1）According to the passage，context clues are .
A.the skills of guessing new words
B.the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words
C.additional information that explains the meanings of unknown words
D.the hints that help you understand the meaning of a difficult passage
（2）What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A.What context clues mean.
B.Where context clues come from.
C.How we benefit from context clues.
D.Why we are discouraged by context clues.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Reading is more important than language skills.
B.You will never meet vocabulary questions in the reading tests.
C.Different types of context clues can be found because of different writing styles.
D.Context clues are only used for working out unfamiliar words.
（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage？
A.To tell the importance of reading comprehension.
B.To help us know the context clues and use them to solve vocabulary problems.
C.To compare different ways to find out context clues in a text passage.
D.To discuss the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words.
四、阅读短文， 根据短文内容回答问题。
18．（10分）The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people.Many customs accompany Spring Festival.Some are still followed today，but others have weakened.
Before the New Year comes，Chinese people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes，bedclothes and all their utensils（用具）.Then people begin decorating their cleaned rooms.All the door panels will be pasted （粘贴） with Spring Festival couplets，highlighting Chinese calligraphy（书法）with black characters on red paper.The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year.Also，pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front door to ward off evil（邪恶）spirits and welcome peace.
The Chinese character "fu"（meaning blessing or happiness） is a must.The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down，for in Chinese the "reveled fu" is homophonic（谐音）with "fu comes"，both being pronounced as ''fudaole'' .What's more，two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door.Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious （吉利的）meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve.At that time，all family members eat dinner together.The meal is more luxurious than usual.Dishes such as chicken，fish and bean curd cannot be excluded（把……排除在外），for in Chinese，their pronunciations，respectively "ji"，a yu" and a doufu， " ，mean auspiciousness，abundance and richness.After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.In recent years，the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station （ CCTV） is important entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad.According to custom，each family will slay up to see the New Year in.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.However，such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.As a replacement，some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to，some break little balloons to get the sound too，while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.
（1）When do people usually clean and decorate their houses？
（2）Where do people usually put red paper﹣cuttings？
（3）What do people usually do after dinner on Spring Festival Eve？
（4）What do you think is the most important for the Spring Festival？Why？

19．（10分）假如你是李华，你们学校正在组织观看"天宫课堂"太空授课活动。你们班交换生Peter给你发邮件询问相关事情。请用英语回复一封邮件，告诉他观看的时间和地点，以及需要做什么准备。
提示词语：lab，online，notebook，questions 提示问题：

16．（6分）When it comes to internet safety for kids，one important aspect that must be addressed is social media sites.Social media sites such as Facebook can be a great way for kids to interact with each other.But it's also important for parents to be aware of（意识到） the negative effects and dangers of being on such sites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites.Think of the Internet as a Big，Open Space.You wouldn't drop your child off at a big public place like a mall for the day and expect everyone he meets to treat him with kindness and protect his best interests，would you？That is a good analogy（类比）for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.
Be aware of the possibility for bullying （欺负）.While it is probably the case that many children online will have pleasant interactions with friends and peers，for the most part，the truth is that bullying—both online and off—is a reality among children.When you have more opportunity for social interaction，you have more opportunity for rejection or bullying by peers.Keep an eye out for signs that your child may be the one who is bullied，and educate yourself about bullying in school.
Know about something called facebook depression （抑郁症）.Researchers say looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make some kids with poor self﹣esteem（自尊）feel even worse.That makes a certain amount of sense when you consider the fact that people tend to post happy news and photos of themselves at parties on social media sites.Be sure to explain to your child that what he sees on social media sites is definitely not what a person's everyday real life is.People are not likely to post news about failures or mistakes or times when they are not feeling good about themselves.Images of shiny，happy people on such sites tell only a small pair of the much bigger story.
（1）What can we learn from the passage？ B
A.Social media sites are very good for kids.
B.Happy events in others' lives can influence some kids with poor self﹣esteem.
C.Kids have more opportunities for bullying by peers at school.
D.Happy photos posted on social media sites are people's real life.
（2）The word "unsupervised" in Paragraph 2 probably mean " B ".

（3）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ D
A.Learning about Social Media
B.Talking about Social Media
C.Helping Your Kid with Social Media
D.Keeping Your Kid Safe on Social Media
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Researchers say looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make some kids with poor self﹣esteem（自尊）feel even worse.（研究人员表示，在社交媒体或脸书上看到别人生活中的快乐事件会让一些自尊心较差的孩子感到更糟。）可知我们能从这篇文章中学到：别人生活中的快乐事件会影响一些自尊心差的孩子。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据That is a good analogy（类比）for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.（这是一个很好的类比，当一个孩子在﹣﹣﹣的情况下上网时会发生什么。一定要密切关注你的孩子在什么时候和谁说话。）联系后句可猜测出下划线单词unsupervised的意思应为：无人监督的，即不在监视和指导下。故选B。
（3）最佳标题题。通读全文，根据Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites.（以下是一些关于如何在社交媒体网站上保护孩子安全的建议。）可知文章主要讲述了如何在社交媒体网站上保护孩子的安全。故最佳标题应为：在社交媒体上保护孩子的安全。故选D。
17．（8分）Just like a detective following clues that lead to the perpetrator（罪犯）of a crime，you as a reader must use context （语境）clues within a text passage to tell the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.Context clues are simply hints （提示）or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.These clues can be found in the same sentence as the vocabulary word or elsewhere in the passage，so be on the lookout whenever a new term presents itself.
With reading comprehension （理解）being as important to all aspects of life as it is today，it's no wonder that language skills such as vocabulary are emphasized （强调）.You will most definitely meet vocabulary questions in the reading parts of tests，and you're going to have to use some skills to get you through.
Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary words，even those brand new to you.There may be some words you can't completely understand in a text，but you shouldn't let that discourage you.Inside the passage，where all the interesting clues of vocabulary lie，you can figure challenging words out.
Context clues are also helpful when you're trying to work out the main idea of a passage or struggling to make inferences （推断）about meaning because unknown words can help connect the dots in useful ways.
Every author writes differently，so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading passages.Some authors offer very little explanation for difficult words，throwing difficult vocabulary into their writing wherever they can with little or no help，other authors carefully create their passages to make sure readers follow every step of the way，and most are somewhere in the middle.No matter what degree of help you're given，context clues are your friend.
Generally，context clues can be grouped into four types：
•Definitions （定义）or restatements
•Synonyms （同义词）
•Antonyms or opposites
•Examples or explanations
After examining the context of a passage for clues，you should have at least a vague （模糊的）idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate（估计）to come up with synonyms for the new word，then try these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense.If not，keep searching for hints until you've found something that works.
（1）According to the passage，context clues are C .
A.the skills of guessing new words
B.the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words
C.additional information that explains the meanings of unknown words
D.the hints that help you understand the meaning of a difficult passage
（2）What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about？ C
A.What context clues mean.
B.Where context clues come from.
C.How we benefit from context clues.
D.Why we are discouraged by context clues.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Reading is more important than language skills.
B.You will never meet vocabulary questions in the reading tests.
C.Different types of context clues can be found because of different writing styles.
D.Context clues are only used for working out unfamiliar words.
（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage？ B
A.To tell the importance of reading comprehension.
B.To help us know the context clues and use them to solve vocabulary problems.
C.To compare different ways to find out context clues in a text passage.
D.To discuss the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words.
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Context clues are simply hints （提示）or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.（上下文线索只是作者提供的提示或附加信息，可以帮助您理解困难单词或短语的含义。）可知上下文线索是解释未知单词含义的附加信息。故选C。
（2）段落大意题。根据Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary words，even those brand new to you.（了解不同类型的上下文线索是如何起作用的，可以帮助你理解困难的词汇，甚至是那些对你来说全新的词汇。）可知第3段和第4段的主要内容是：我们如何从上下文线索中获益。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据Every author writes differently，so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading passages.（每个作者的写作方式都不一样，所以在阅读文章中可以找到许多不同类型的上下文线索。）可知我们能从这篇文章中学到：由于写作风格不同，可以找到不同类型的上下文线索。故选C。
（4）目的意图题。根据 After examining the context of a passage for clues，you should have at least a vague （模糊的）idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate（估计）to come up with synonyms for the new word，then try these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense.If not，keep searching for hints until you've found something that works.（在检查文章的上下文以获得线索后，你至少应该对一个未知词汇的意思有一个模糊的概念。用你的估计来为这个新单词想出同义词，然后在句子中尝试这些同义词，看看它是否仍然有意义。如果没有，继续寻找提示，直到你找到有效的方法。）可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是：帮助我们了解上下文线索，并使用它们解决词汇问题。故选B。

18．（10分）The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people.Many customs accompany Spring Festival.Some are still followed today，but others have weakened.
Before the New Year comes，Chinese people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes，bedclothes and all their utensils（用具）.Then people begin decorating their cleaned rooms.All the door panels will be pasted （粘贴） with Spring Festival couplets，highlighting Chinese calligraphy（书法）with black characters on red paper.The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year.Also，pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front door to ward off evil（邪恶）spirits and welcome peace.
The Chinese character "fu"（meaning blessing or happiness） is a must.The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down，for in Chinese the "reveled fu" is homophonic（谐音）with "fu comes"，both being pronounced as ''fudaole'' .What's more，two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door.Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious （吉利的）meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve.At that time，all family members eat dinner together.The meal is more luxurious than usual.Dishes such as chicken，fish and bean curd cannot be excluded（把……排除在外），for in Chinese，their pronunciations，respectively "ji"，a yu" and a doufu， " ，mean auspiciousness，abundance and richness.After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.In recent years，the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station （ CCTV） is important entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad.According to custom，each family will slay up to see the New Year in.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.However，such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.As a replacement，some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to，some break little balloons to get the sound too，while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.
（1）When do people usually clean and decorate their houses？ Before the New Year comes.
（2）Where do people usually put red paper﹣cuttings？ Window glass.
（3）What do people usually do after dinner on Spring Festival Eve？ They will sit together，chatting and watching TV.

（2）细节理解题。根据Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass（窗户玻璃上可以看到红色的剪纸）可知是在窗户玻璃上，故答案为Window glass.
（3）细节理解题。根据After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.（晚饭后，全家人坐在一起，聊天，看电视。）可知晚饭后，全家人坐在一起，聊天，看电视，故答案为They will sit together，chatting and watching TV.
（4）个人观点题。我认为聚在一起很重要，因为与家人共度时光很重要。故答案为I think getting together is important，because spending time with families is important.

The Chinese character "fu"（meaning blessing or happiness） is a must.The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down，for in Chinese the "reveled fu" is homophonic（谐音）with "fu comes"，both being pronounced as ''fudaole'' .What's more，two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door.Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious （吉利的）meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve.At that time，all family members eat dinner together.The meal is more luxurious than usual.Dishes such as chicken，fish and bean curd cannot be excluded（把……排除在外），for in Chinese，their pronunciations，respectively "ji"，a yu" and a doufu， " ，mean auspiciousness，abundance and richness.After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.In recent years，the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station （ CCTV） is important entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad.According to custom，each family will slay up to see the New Year in.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.However，such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.As a replacement，some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to，some break little balloons to get the sound too，while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.
（1）When do people usually clean and decorate their houses？
（2）Where do people usually put red paper﹣cuttings？

（4）What do you think is the most important for the Spring Festival？Why？

16．（6分）When it comes to internet safety for kids，one important aspect that must be addressed is social media sites.Social media sites such as Facebook can be a great way for kids to interact with each other.But it's also important for parents to be aware of（意识到） the negative effects and dangers of being on such sites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites.Think of the Internet as a Big，Open Space.You wouldn't drop your child off at a big public place like a mall for the day and expect everyone he meets to treat him with kindness and protect his best interests，would you？That is a good analogy（类比）for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.
Be aware of the possibility for bullying （欺负）.While it is probably the case that many children online will have pleasant interactions with friends and peers，for the most part，the truth is that bullying—both online and off—is a reality among children.When you have more opportunity for social interaction，you have more opportunity for rejection or bullying by peers.Keep an eye out for signs that your child may be the one who is bullied，and educate yourself about bullying in school.
Know about something called facebook depression （抑郁症）.Researchers say looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make some kids with poor self﹣esteem（自尊）feel even worse.That makes a certain amount of sense when you consider the fact that people tend to post happy news and photos of themselves at parties on social media sites.Be sure to explain to your child that what he sees on social media sites is definitely not what a person's everyday real life is.People are not likely to post news about failures or mistakes or times when they are not feeling good about themselves.Images of shiny，happy people on such sites tell only a small pair of the much bigger story.
（1）What can we learn from the passage？ B
A.Social media sites are very good for kids.
B.Happy events in others' lives can influence some kids with poor self﹣esteem.
C.Kids have more opportunities for bullying by peers at school.
D.Happy photos posted on social media sites are people's real life.
（2）The word "unsupervised" in Paragraph 2 probably mean " B ".
A.not to be with
B.not under watch and direct
C.not looked for
D.not thought and learned
（3）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ D
A.Learning about Social Media
B.Talking about Social Media
C.Helping Your Kid with Social Media
D.Keeping Your Kid Safe on Social Media
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Researchers say looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make some kids with poor self﹣esteem（自尊）feel even worse.（研究人员表示，在社交媒体或脸书上看到别人生活中的快乐事件会让一些自尊心较差的孩子感到更糟。）可知我们能从这篇文章中学到：别人生活中的快乐事件会影响一些自尊心差的孩子。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据That is a good analogy（类比）for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.（这是一个很好的类比，当一个孩子在﹣﹣﹣的情况下上网时会发生什么。一定要密切关注你的孩子在什么时候和谁说话。）联系后句可猜测出下划线单词unsupervised的意思应为：无人监督的，即不在监视和指导下。故选B。
（3）最佳标题题。通读全文，根据Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites.（以下是一些关于如何在社交媒体网站上保护孩子安全的建议。）可知文章主要讲述了如何在社交媒体网站上保护孩子的安全。故最佳标题应为：在社交媒体上保护孩子的安全。故选D。
17．（8分）Just like a detective following clues that lead to the perpetrator（罪犯）of a crime，you as a reader must use context （语境）clues within a text passage to tell the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.Context clues are simply hints （提示）or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.These clues can be found in the same sentence as the vocabulary word or elsewhere in the passage，so be on the lookout whenever a new term presents itself.
With reading comprehension （理解）being as important to all aspects of life as it is today，it's no wonder that language skills such as vocabulary are emphasized （强调）.You will most definitely meet vocabulary questions in the reading parts of tests，and you're going to have to use some skills to get you through.
Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary words，even those brand new to you.There may be some words you can't completely understand in a text，but you shouldn't let that discourage you.Inside the passage，where all the interesting clues of vocabulary lie，you can figure challenging words out.
Context clues are also helpful when you're trying to work out the main idea of a passage or struggling to make inferences （推断）about meaning because unknown words can help connect the dots in useful ways.
Every author writes differently，so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading passages.Some authors offer very little explanation for difficult words，throwing difficult vocabulary into their writing wherever they can with little or no help，other authors carefully create their passages to make sure readers follow every step of the way，and most are somewhere in the middle.No matter what degree of help you're given，context clues are your friend.
Generally，context clues can be grouped into four types：
•Definitions （定义）or restatements
•Synonyms （同义词）
•Antonyms or opposites
•Examples or explanations
After examining the context of a passage for clues，you should have at least a vague （模糊的）idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate（估计）to come up with synonyms for the new word，then try these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense.If not，keep searching for hints until you've found something that works.
（1）According to the passage，context clues are C .
A.the skills of guessing new words
B.the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words
C.additional information that explains the meanings of unknown words
D.the hints that help you understand the meaning of a difficult passage
（2）What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about？ C
A.What context clues mean.
B.Where context clues come from.
C.How we benefit from context clues.
D.Why we are discouraged by context clues.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Reading is more important than language skills.
B.You will never meet vocabulary questions in the reading tests.
C.Different types of context clues can be found because of different writing styles.
D.Context clues are only used for working out unfamiliar words.
（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage？ B
A.To tell the importance of reading comprehension.
B.To help us know the context clues and use them to solve vocabulary problems.
C.To compare different ways to find out context clues in a text passage.
D.To discuss the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words.
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Context clues are simply hints （提示）or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.（上下文线索只是作者提供的提示或附加信息，可以帮助您理解困难单词或短语的含义。）可知上下文线索是解释未知单词含义的附加信息。故选C。
（2）段落大意题。根据Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary words，even those brand new to you.（了解不同类型的上下文线索是如何起作用的，可以帮助你理解困难的词汇，甚至是那些对你来说全新的词汇。）可知第3段和第4段的主要内容是：我们如何从上下文线索中获益。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据Every author writes differently，so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading passages.（每个作者的写作方式都不一样，所以在阅读文章中可以找到许多不同类型的上下文线索。）可知我们能从这篇文章中学到：由于写作风格不同，可以找到不同类型的上下文线索。故选C。
（4）目的意图题。根据 After examining the context of a passage for clues，you should have at least a vague （模糊的）idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate（估计）to come up with synonyms for the new word，then try these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense.If not，keep searching for hints until you've found something that works.（在检查文章的上下文以获得线索后，你至少应该对一个未知词汇的意思有一个模糊的概念。用你的估计来为这个新单词想出同义词，然后在句子中尝试这些同义词，看看它是否仍然有意义。如果没有，继续寻找提示，直到你找到有效的方法。）可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是：帮助我们了解上下文线索，并使用它们解决词汇问题。故选B。

18．（10分）The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people.Many customs accompany Spring Festival.Some are still followed today，but others have weakened.
Before the New Year comes，Chinese people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes，bedclothes and all their utensils（用具）.Then people begin decorating their cleaned rooms.All the door panels will be pasted （粘贴） with Spring Festival couplets，highlighting Chinese calligraphy（书法）with black characters on red paper.The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year.Also，pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front door to ward off evil（邪恶）spirits and welcome peace.
The Chinese character "fu"（meaning blessing or happiness） is a must.The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down，for in Chinese the "reveled fu" is homophonic（谐音）with "fu comes"，both being pronounced as ''fudaole'' .What's more，two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door.Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious （吉利的）meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve.At that time，all family members eat dinner together.The meal is more luxurious than usual.Dishes such as chicken，fish and bean curd cannot be excluded（把……排除在外），for in Chinese，their pronunciations，respectively "ji"，a yu" and a doufu， " ，mean auspiciousness，abundance and richness.After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.In recent years，the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station （ CCTV） is important entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad.According to custom，each family will slay up to see the New Year in.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.However，such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.As a replacement，some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to，some break little balloons to get the sound too，while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.

（2）细节理解题。根据Red paper﹣cuttings can be seen on window glass（窗户玻璃上可以看到红色的剪纸）可知是在窗户玻璃上，故答案为Window glass.
（3）细节理解题。根据After the dinner，the whole family will sit together，chatting and watching TV.（晚饭后，全家人坐在一起，聊天，看电视。）可知晚饭后，全家人坐在一起，聊天，看电视，故答案为They will sit together，chatting and watching TV.
（4）个人观点题。我认为聚在一起很重要，因为与家人共度时光很重要。故答案为I think getting together is important，because spending time with families is important.
