阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) opened its doors again this weekend for the University of Rochester’s Clothesline Arts Festival. This event has been an annual tradition at the Centennial Sculpture Park right outside the MAG for the last 62 years. Initially organized with less than 100 artists showing their work on clothes lines and fences, this festival has attracted over 500 artists from across the nation.
The park was decorated with colorful tents where artists proudly displayed their works. Each tent was a story within itself — a display of skill, creativity, and years of experience.
Piche Design, a unique custom creation art store owned by Chuck Peashy, had one of the most interesting tents: an eye-catching, old setting with lamps shaped like musical instruments. “People come to me with objects that belonged to their long-gone loved ones, and I make beautiful items out of those for them. It is, indeed, rewarding,” said Peashy.
Jill Schiller started doodling (涂鸦) when she was very young. Her hobby gave way to a series of super cool modern designs. She now draws with Swedish weaving techniques on scarves, carpets, bags, and T-shirts in her tent. Schiller believes that it is evidently a great method of expressing creativity and emotion.
George Banagis’ tent, which presented watercolor and pen and ink pieces, had a variety of options. His complicated pen and ink illustrations were available in the original full-size versions, which were made after weeks of effort, and also small, affordable postcards, notepads, and other souvenirs. Visitors loved this inexpensive form of art and flooded inside to buy.
Visitors also experienced all seven continents in one tent Tatarzyn Photography. From penguins lined up on an Antarctic coastline to swans and wandering African elephants, Ted Tatarzyn has traveled all around the world to catch these moments of amazing creatures with a camera. “This is actually my second career,” said Tatarzyn, who interestingly worked at Kodak for many years before its shutdown. He then started touring around the world for the pictures.
Strolling across the little artistic showcases is a learning experience that every student should take advantage of. And Clothesline had many other stories to tell.
36. What was the Clothesline Arts Festival most probably named after at first?
A. The hosting place of the festival. B. The diverse artists joining the event.
C. The unique way of displaying works. D. The cloths and various materials used.
37. What do we know about Piche Design?
A. It focuses on the musical instrument design. B. It helps people recall their loved ones.
C. It repairs valuable things for people. D. It mainly sells classical furniture.
38. What do Jill Schiller’s and George Banagis’ tents have in common?
A. They are both about art drawings with strong personal styles.
B. They are both popular among university students.
C. They both display products with local cultures.
D. They are both about inexpensive paintings.
39. What is the main topic of the tent Tatarzyn Photography?
A. Travel experience sharing. B. Artistic creativity training.
C Professional camera skill teaching. D. Animal photos displaying.
40. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To remember a 62-year-old tradition. B. To recommend some excellent artists.
C. To advertise a secondhand market. D. To introduce a special artistic festival.

【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Initially organized with less than 100 artists showing their work on clothes lines and fences, this festival has attracted over 500 artists from across the nation.”（这个艺术节最初由不到100名艺术家在晾衣绳和栅栏上展示他们的作品，吸引了来自全国各地的500多名艺术家。）可知，这个艺术节最初由不到100名艺术家在晾衣绳和栅栏上展示他们的作品，因为这种展示作品的独特方式而得名，由此可知，Clothesline Arts Festival最初最可能以展示作品的独特方式而命名。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句““People come to me with objects that belonged to their long-gone loved ones, and I make beautiful items out of those for them. It is, indeed, rewarding,” said Peashy.”（Peashy说：“人们带着属于他们久违的爱人的物品来找我，我用这些物品为他们制作精美的物品。这的确是值得的。”）可知，人们带着属于他们久违的爱人的物品来找Peashy，Peashy用这些物品来制作其他精美的物品，帮助人们回忆起他们的爱人，由此可知，Piche Design帮助人们回忆起他们的爱人。故选B项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Her hobby gave way to a series of super cool modern designs. She now draws with Swedish weaving techniques on scarves, carpets, bags, and T-shirts in her tent.”（她的爱好被一系列超酷的现代设计所取代。她现在在帐篷里的围巾、地毯、包包和T恤衫上使用瑞典刺绣技术画画。）可知，Jill Schiller在帐篷里的围巾、地毯、包包和T恤衫上使用瑞典编织技术；根据第五段关键句“George Banagis’ tent, which presented watercolor and pen and ink pieces, had a variety of options.”（George Banagis的帐篷展示了水彩和笔墨作品，有多种选择。）可知，George Banagis的帐篷展示了水彩和笔墨作品，综上所述，Jill Schiller和George Banagis的帐篷的共同点是它们都是关于具有强烈个人风格的艺术绘画。故选A项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Visitors also experienced all seven continents in one tent, Tatarzyn Photography. From penguins lined up on an Antarctic coastline to swans and wandering African elephants, Ted Tatarzyn has traveled all around the world to catch these moments of amazing creatures with a camera.”（游客也在Tatarzyn Photography的帐篷里体验了所有七大洲。从南极海岸线上排队的企鹅，到天鹅和漫步的非洲大象，Ted Tatarzyn走遍了世界各地，用相机捕捉这些令人惊叹的生物的瞬间。）可知，你可以在Tatarzyn Photography的帐篷里看到七大洲的令人惊叹的生物，由此可知，Tatarzyn Photography的主要主题是展示动物照片。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) opened its doors again this weekend for the University of Rochester’s Clothesline Arts Festival.”（纪念艺术画廊本周末再次为罗切斯特大学的Clothesline Arts Festival开放。）可知，本文主要介绍了罗切斯特大学的Clothesline Arts Festival，介绍了这个艺术节的起源和特点，由此可知，文章的主要目的是介绍一个特别的艺术节。故选D项。
B
Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains, an international team of researchers has discovered. Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, led the study, the results of which were published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
When it comes to lifespan (寿命), birds truly stand out. Lifespan tends to increase with an animal’s body size, roughly speaking. Thus, the bigger the animal, the longer they live. But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal. One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.
And among birds parrots are the aging champions. The confirmed longest-living bird was Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo (a species of parrot), who lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois for all but one of his 83 years. Though cockatoos often weigh around a pound, they usually live for four decades. Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.
What sets parrots apart? In the new research, Smeele and his colleagues gathered data on over 130,000 individual parrots held in more than 1,000 zoos, representing 217 species. Through this data, they created reliable estimates of the average lifespan for each species. They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and its relative brain size and found a clear, positive correspondence. Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.
“This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible. For flexibility allows them to live longer.” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other birds.”
Researchers have previously shown that, when trained, some parrots can recognize and understand objects, colors, and shapes, and even speak with an impressive vocabulary. They can even match five-year-old humans on basic tests of intelligence.
41. What may cause birds’ long life?

【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal. One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.”（但鸟类往往比体型相当的哺乳动物活得更长。一种理论认为，鸟类的飞行能力意味着它们受到杀死它们的动物的威胁更小，这降低了它们被吃掉的风险，减轻了压力，并为成长释放了身体资源。）可知，鸟类的飞行能力降低了它们被吃掉的风险，减轻了生存压力，促使它们长寿，由此可知，鸟类的飞行能力可能促使它们长寿。故选B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.”（其他398种鹦鹉中的大多数也比其他体型相似的鸟类寿命更长。）可知，很多种鹦鹉比其他体型相似的鸟类寿命更长，由此可知，鹦鹉比其他类似大小的鸟类寿命长。故选A项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词下文“Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.”（与体型相比，大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长。）可知，“大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长”是物种的寿命与其相对的大脑大小之间的联系，由此可知，他们寻找到了每种物种的寿命与其相对的大脑大小之间的联系，“Connection”意为“联系”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选D项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段关键句““This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible. For flexibility allows them to live longer.” Smeele said in a statement.”（Smeele在一份声明中说：“这支持了这样一个观点，即一般来说，较大的大脑会使物种更灵活。因为灵活可以让它们活得更长。”）可知，Smeele认为更大的大脑会使物种更灵活，有更强的适应能力，让它们活得更长，下文的例子告诉我们鹦鹉的大脑都相对较大，所以它们可以更好地适应环境，由此可知，作者想用第5段中的例子强调更大的大脑使鹦鹉有更强的适应能力。故选B项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains, an international team of researchers has discovered.”（一个国际研究小组发现，鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大。）可知，文章主要介绍了鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大，“Why do parrots live so long?”意为“鹦鹉为什么能活这么久？”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。
C
My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank away too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. Our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship strengthened itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair and the boring routine of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
46. What happened during her best friend’s visit?
A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend.
B. They talked constantly about their lives.
C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee.
D. They talked about recent news events.
47. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ________.
A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life
B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away
C. they try to show each other their best selves
D. they are comfortable just being themselves when together
48. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. Charm comes from difference. B. Politeness brings best friends closer.
C. Good friendships need devotion. D. Distance can separate good friends.
49. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ________.
A. describe what her best friend is like B. share the friendship she treasures
C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend
50. What is the tone of the passage?
A. Light-hearted. B. Humorous. C. Serious. D. Sentimental.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事，来告诉我们良好的友谊需要奉献，作者十分珍惜自己和朋友的这段友谊。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But we talked about every little detail of our lives. (但是我们关于生活的方方面面几乎无所不谈)”可知，作者的朋友来家中做客，两人一直在聊天，故选B项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段根据“As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don't have to “do” we simply have to “be”. We drop the act. The performance, the public version ofourselves.(正如我漫长的周末所显示的那样，与这样的朋友在一起，我们不需要“做什么”，我们只需要“做我们自己”。我们放弃了表演，放弃了公众对我们自己的看法)”可推断得知，作者欣赏的他们的友谊的点是，他们在一起时很舒适自在，卸下伪装，作真实的自己，故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。据最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort. despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives.(特别的友谊是那些永远不会不快乐的友谊，这种友谊的延续是值得付出额外努力的，尽管距离和差异潜入你们各自的生活)”可知，作者同意维系持久的友谊，需要努力付出，乐于奉献，故选C。
【49题详解】
目的意图题。根据最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. (特别的友谊是那些永远不会不快乐的友谊，这种友谊的延续是值得付出额外努力的，尽管距离和差异潜入你们各自的生活。上周那个欢愉的周末提醒我铭记这个真理)”可知，作者通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事，来告诉我们良好的友谊需要奉献，作者十分珍惜自己和朋友的这段友谊。作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是探讨友谊的关键层面。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection. (我很幸运能找到这个朋友，看到未来有她的陪伴。在一起就是完美。)”和第二段“Our long weekend together was luxuriously simple. (我们一起度过了一个奢侈而简单的漫长周末)”可知，本文无论是叙事还是抒发感悟，一直都是轻松闲适的基调，故选A项。
D
A new study published in the journal Reading and Writing shows that reading is closely related to language skills. The piece was written by Sandra Martin, professor of education, and PhD student Stephanie Kozak. They found that people who enjoyed reading fiction for leisure and who saw themselves as readers scored higher on language tests, while those who read to access specific information scored more poorly on the same tests.
Martin and Kozak used a scale called the Predictors of Leisure Reading (PoLR) to investigate reading behavior. They then examined how well the PoLR predicted the language skills of 200 undergraduate students. The researchers note that the age range of the subjects in the study is of key interest. In early adulthood, reading becomes self-directed rather than compelled by others, which means people can choose to read any book they like. So this is a key time for developing one’s own reading habits. But there is a general lack of research on this population, with most existing research mainly focusing on children.
The researchers administered (执行) a series of measures. First, the participants completed the 48-question PoLR scale measuring various reading factors, including motivations, obstacles, attitudes and interests. They were then given language tests similar to those found in the SAT and a measure of reading habits called the Author Recognition Test. This test asks participants to select the names of real fiction and non-fiction authors they are familiar with from a long list of real and fake names. Scores on this test are related to both actual reading behavior and verbal abilities: those who scored higher read more and have better verbal abilities than those who scored lower.
After analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that reading enjoyment, positive attitudes and deeply established interests predicted better verbal abilities and that they were more strongly associated with exposure to fiction than non-fiction.
The many benefits of reading have long been established. Besides having better verbal abilities, lifelong readers are known to be more understanding of others, to attain higher socioeconomic status and even to live longer, healthier lives than non-readers. The findings of the study can give teachers and parents some enlightenment (启发). They can promote a love of reading by letting young people read what they want, without guilt or shame.
51. What plays a key role in improving people’s language skills according to the study?
A. Their reading speeds. B. Their reading frequencies.
C. Their motivations for reading. D. Their understanding of the content.
52. What does the underlined word “compelled” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Forced. B. Admired. C. Evaluated. D. Followed.
53. What distinguishes Martin and Kozak’s study from most existing research?
A. Its research method. B. Its scoring criterion.
C. Its large sample size. D. Its selection of subjects.
54. How did the researchers learn about the participants’ actual reading habits?
A. By analyzing their performance in reading and comprehending a given article.
B. By asking them to introduce their favorite writers and books in detail.
C. By letting them choose their familiar authors from a partly real list.
D. By requesting them to do some SAT language tests.
55. What’s the inspiration for teachers and parents while educating kids?
A. Setting an example for kids in reading. B. Allowing kids to read their favorite books.
C. Asking kids to make friends with lifelong readers. D. Encouraging kids to start reading as early as possible.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究结果，阅读有许多好处，老师和家长应该让孩子们读他们喜欢的书，这会促进他们对阅读的热爱。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“They found that people who enjoyed reading fiction for leisure and who saw themselves as readers scored higher on language tests, while those who read to access specific information scored more poorly on the same tests.”（他们发现，那些喜欢为了休闲阅读小说并把自己视为读者的人在语言测试中得分更高，而那些为了获取特定信息而阅读的人在相同的测试中得分更低。）可知，阅读的动机不同，在语言测试中的得分也不同，为了休闲阅读小说的人在语言测试中得分更高，为了获取特定信息而阅读的人在相同的测试中得分更低，由此可知，根据研究，人们阅读的动机在提高人们的语言技能方面起着关键作用。故选C项。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词句中“which means people can choose to read any book they like”（这意味着人们可以选择阅读任何他们喜欢的书）可知，人们可以选择阅读任何他们喜欢的书，由此可知，在成年早期，阅读不是被他人强迫的，而是可以选择阅读任何喜欢的书，“Forced”意为“强迫”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“They then examined how well the PoLR predicted the language skills of 200 undergraduate students. The researchers note that the age range of the subjects in the study is of key interest.”（然后，他们检查了PoLR对200名本科生语言技能的预测程度。研究人员指出，研究对象的年龄范围至关重要。）和“But there is a general lack of research on this population, with most existing research mainly focusing on children.”（但普遍缺乏对这一人群的研究，现有的大多数研究主要集中在儿童身上。）可知，现有的大多数研究主要集中在儿童身上，而马丁和科扎克的选择了200名本科生作为研究对象，由此可知，马丁和科扎克的研究与大多数现有研究的不同之处在于它选择的研究对象不同。故选D项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“They were then given language tests similar to those found in the SAT and a measure of reading habits called the Author Recognition Test. This test asks participants to select the names of real fiction and non-fiction authors they are familiar with from a long list of real and fake names.”（然后，他们接受了类似于SAT考试的语言测试，以及一项名为“作者识别测试”的阅读习惯测试。这项测试要求参与者从一长串真实和虚假的名字中选择他们熟悉的真实的小说作者和非小说类作者的名字。）可知，为了了解参与者的实际阅读习惯，他们进行了一项名为“作者识别测试”的阅读习惯测试，让参与者从部分真实的名字列表中选择自己熟悉的作者名字，由此可知，研究人员为了了解参与者的实际阅读习惯，让他们从部分真实的名字列表中选择自己熟悉的作者。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The findings of the study can give teachers and parents some enlightenment (启发). They can promote a love of reading by letting young people read what they want, without guilt or shame.”（研究结果可以给教师和家长一些启发。他们可以让年轻人阅读他们想看的东西，而不感到内疚或羞耻，从而促进对阅读的热爱。）可知，研究结果给教师和家长一些启发，他们可以让年轻人阅读他们想看的东西，这会促进他们对阅读的热爱，由此可知，在教育孩子时，这项研究启发老师和家长让孩子们读他们最喜欢的书。故选B项。
第II卷 (共35分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
“Mom, look at this LEGO Star Wars set,” my eight-year-old son Nathan said. “Can I get it for my birthday?” I looked at the LEGO set in question.
“Nathan, this isn’t just a regular LEGO set. It’s an Advent calendar(降临历).” Seeing his questioning look, I explained, “An Advent calendar counts down the days until Christmas. Starting on December 1st, you open one box each day, and each box contains one small LEGO toy.”
“I want this really badly, Mom. Can I get it for my birthday?”
“Yes, but here’s the problem with that. It’s August right now, and your birthday is in September. If we bought this for your birthday, you couldn’t start opening the toys until December 1st. That would be a long time for you before playing with a new toy. Are you sure you want it?” He thought for a minute and said, “Yes, Mom, I really want that Advent calendar.” So we bought the calendar.
On Nathan’s birthday in mid-September, he received many presents, including the Advent calendar. He seemed as surprised and pleased with it as he did with other gifts that were actually a surprise. And then he started to open it.
“Remember that’s an Advent calendar. So we can’t open it yet.” His shoulders slumped(垂下来). “Oh, yeah, that’s right,” he said unwillingly.
We put the box in his closet. I hoped he’d forget about it, but that was wishful thinking.
“How many more days should I wait until I can start opening the toys in the calendar?” he asked the day after his birthday. I gave him a pocket calendar, and we counted how many days there were until December 1st.
After waiting for so long, it was December 1st finally. Nathan’s hands were practically shaking as he opened that first box. “I’m so glad I waited, Mom,” he told me.
People say that Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year. I know these complaints are about the over-commercialization of the holiday, and I see their point. But this year, Christmas came to our house very early, and it was so much fun.
56. What is an Advent calendar used to do? (no more than 10 words)
________________
57. Why was the author unwilling to buy the Advent calendar for Nathan at first? (no more than 12 words)
________________
58. How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7? (no more than 8 words)
________________
59. Why do people say Christmas starts earlier and earlier? (no more than 10 words)
________________
60. What do you think of Nathan’s birthday present? Why? (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】56. To count down days from December 1st to Christmas.
57. Because Nathan had to wait long before he could open it.
58. He didn’t forget about it at all.
59. Because businessmen start to advertise Christmas earlier and earlier./ Because of the over commercialization of the holiday.
60. I think it’s a wonderful and meaningful present because it taught Nathan about patience and the power of delayed satisfaction.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在儿子内森的软磨硬泡下，给他买下了一份降临历作为生日礼物。但是当时距离圣诞节还有4个月，内森尽管几次想要提前拆开礼物，但是最终等到了圣诞节，他懂得了延迟快乐的意义。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“An Advent calendar counts down the days until Christmas. Starting on December 1st, (降临节日历为圣诞节倒计时。从12月1日开始)”可知，降临历以前是用于从12月1日开始，标注圣诞节倒计时。故答案为To count down days from December 1st to Christmas.
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If we bought this for your birthday, you couldn’t start opening the toys until December 1st. That would be a long time for you before playing with a new toy. Are you sure you want it? (如果我们买这个作为你的生日礼物，你要到12月1日才能打开玩具。在玩新玩具之前，你得花很长时间。你确定要吗?)”可知，作者一开始并不想给儿子内森买降临历，是因为他得等四个月漫长的时间才能打开生日礼物。这对一个小孩子来说是煎熬的。故答案为Because Nathan had to wait long before he could open it.
【58题详解】
句意猜测题。根据倒数第四段““How many more days should I wait until I can start opening the toys in the calendar?” he asked the day after his birthday. I gave him a pocket calendar, and we counted how many days there were until December 1st. (“我还要等多少天才能开始打开日历上的玩具?”他在生日的第二天问道。我给了他一本袖珍日历，我们数着离12月1日还有多少天)”可知，作者原本希望儿子暂时忘记这份特别的生日礼物，但从他的生日第二天起，内森就心心念念打开礼物的日子，作者起初的想法只能是一厢情愿，故答案为He didn’t forget about it at all。
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I know these complaints are about the over-commercialization of the holiday, (我知道这些抱怨是关于节日的过度商业化)”可知，作者认为圣诞节日期越来越提前，是因为早在每年的12月25日以前，商家们早已开始各显神通，使出浑身解数，推广各种节日相关的商业活动，故答案为Because businessmen start to advertise Christmas earlier and earlier./ Because of the over commercialization of the holiday.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After waiting for so long, it was December 1st finally. Nathan’s hands were practically shaking as he opened that first box. “I’m so glad I waited, Mom,” he told me. (等了这么久，终于到了12月1日。当内森打开第一个盒子时，他的手几乎在颤抖。“我真高兴我等了，妈妈，”他告诉我)”可知，作者认为送给内森的这份礼物非常有意义，这让他明白了耐心等待和延迟快乐的意义，故答案为I think it’s a wonderful and meaningful present because it taught Nathan about patience and the power of delayed satisfaction.

第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) opened its doors again this weekend for the University of Rochester’s Clothesline Arts Festival. This event has been an annual tradition at the Centennial Sculpture Park right outside the MAG for the last 62 years. Initially organized with less than 100 artists showing their work on clothes lines and fences, this festival has attracted over 500 artists from across the nation.
The park was decorated with colorful tents where artists proudly displayed their works. Each tent was a story within itself — a display of skill, creativity, and years of experience.
Piche Design, a unique custom creation art store owned by Chuck Peashy, had one of the most interesting tents: an eye-catching, old setting with lamps shaped like musical instruments. “People come to me with objects that belonged to their long-gone loved ones, and I make beautiful items out of those for them. It is, indeed, rewarding,” said Peashy.
Jill Schiller started doodling (涂鸦) when she was very young. Her hobby gave way to a series of super cool modern designs. She now draws with Swedish weaving techniques on scarves, carpets, bags, and T-shirts in her tent. Schiller believes that it is evidently a great method of expressing creativity and emotion.
George Banagis’ tent, which presented watercolor and pen and ink pieces, had a variety of options. His complicated pen and ink illustrations were available in the original full-size versions, which were made after weeks of effort, and also small, affordable postcards, notepads, and other souvenirs. Visitors loved this inexpensive form of art and flooded inside to buy.
Visitors also experienced all seven continents in one tent Tatarzyn Photography. From penguins lined up on an Antarctic coastline to swans and wandering African elephants, Ted Tatarzyn has traveled all around the world to catch these moments of amazing creatures with a camera. “This is actually my second career,” said Tatarzyn, who interestingly worked at Kodak for many years before its shutdown. He then started touring around the world for the pictures.
Strolling across the little artistic showcases is a learning experience that every student should take advantage of. And Clothesline had many other stories to tell.
36. What was the Clothesline Arts Festival most probably named after at first?
A. The hosting place of the festival. B. The diverse artists joining the event.
C. The unique way of displaying works. D. The cloths and various materials used.
37. What do we know about Piche Design?
A. It focuses on the musical instrument design. B. It helps people recall their loved ones.
C. It repairs valuable things for people. D. It mainly sells classical furniture.
38. What do Jill Schiller’s and George Banagis’ tents have in common?
A. They are both about art drawings with strong personal styles.
B. They are both popular among university students.
C. They both display products with local cultures.
D. They are both about inexpensive paintings.
39. What is the main topic of the tent Tatarzyn Photography?
A. Travel experience sharing. B. Artistic creativity training.
C Professional camera skill teaching. D. Animal photos displaying.
40. What is the purpose of the text?

【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Initially organized with less than 100 artists showing their work on clothes lines and fences, this festival has attracted over 500 artists from across the nation.”（这个艺术节最初由不到100名艺术家在晾衣绳和栅栏上展示他们的作品，吸引了来自全国各地的500多名艺术家。）可知，这个艺术节最初由不到100名艺术家在晾衣绳和栅栏上展示他们的作品，因为这种展示作品的独特方式而得名，由此可知，Clothesline Arts Festival最初最可能以展示作品的独特方式而命名。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句““People come to me with objects that belonged to their long-gone loved ones, and I make beautiful items out of those for them. It is, indeed, rewarding,” said Peashy.”（Peashy说：“人们带着属于他们久违的爱人的物品来找我，我用这些物品为他们制作精美的物品。这的确是值得的。”）可知，人们带着属于他们久违的爱人的物品来找Peashy，Peashy用这些物品来制作其他精美的物品，帮助人们回忆起他们的爱人，由此可知，Piche Design帮助人们回忆起他们的爱人。故选B项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Her hobby gave way to a series of super cool modern designs. She now draws with Swedish weaving techniques on scarves, carpets, bags, and T-shirts in her tent.”（她的爱好被一系列超酷的现代设计所取代。她现在在帐篷里的围巾、地毯、包包和T恤衫上使用瑞典刺绣技术画画。）可知，Jill Schiller在帐篷里的围巾、地毯、包包和T恤衫上使用瑞典编织技术；根据第五段关键句“George Banagis’ tent, which presented watercolor and pen and ink pieces, had a variety of options.”（George Banagis的帐篷展示了水彩和笔墨作品，有多种选择。）可知，George Banagis的帐篷展示了水彩和笔墨作品，综上所述，Jill Schiller和George Banagis的帐篷的共同点是它们都是关于具有强烈个人风格的艺术绘画。故选A项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Visitors also experienced all seven continents in one tent, Tatarzyn Photography. From penguins lined up on an Antarctic coastline to swans and wandering African elephants, Ted Tatarzyn has traveled all around the world to catch these moments of amazing creatures with a camera.”（游客也在Tatarzyn Photography的帐篷里体验了所有七大洲。从南极海岸线上排队的企鹅，到天鹅和漫步的非洲大象，Ted Tatarzyn走遍了世界各地，用相机捕捉这些令人惊叹的生物的瞬间。）可知，你可以在Tatarzyn Photography的帐篷里看到七大洲的令人惊叹的生物，由此可知，Tatarzyn Photography的主要主题是展示动物照片。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) opened its doors again this weekend for the University of Rochester’s Clothesline Arts Festival.”（纪念艺术画廊本周末再次为罗切斯特大学的Clothesline Arts Festival开放。）可知，本文主要介绍了罗切斯特大学的Clothesline Arts Festival，介绍了这个艺术节的起源和特点，由此可知，文章的主要目的是介绍一个特别的艺术节。故选D项。
B
Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains, an international team of researchers has discovered. Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, led the study, the results of which were published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
When it comes to lifespan (寿命), birds truly stand out. Lifespan tends to increase with an animal’s body size, roughly speaking. Thus, the bigger the animal, the longer they live. But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal. One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.
And among birds parrots are the aging champions. The confirmed longest-living bird was Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo (a species of parrot), who lived at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois for all but one of his 83 years. Though cockatoos often weigh around a pound, they usually live for four decades. Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.
What sets parrots apart? In the new research, Smeele and his colleagues gathered data on over 130,000 individual parrots held in more than 1,000 zoos, representing 217 species. Through this data, they created reliable estimates of the average lifespan for each species. They next searched for a link between each species’ lifespan and its relative brain size and found a clear, positive correspondence. Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.
“This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible. For flexibility allows them to live longer.” Smeele said in a statement. “For example, if they run out of their favorite food, they could learn to find something new and thus survive.” He added, “All parrots have relatively large brain sizes compared to most other birds.”
Researchers have previously shown that, when trained, some parrots can recognize and understand objects, colors, and shapes, and even speak with an impressive vocabulary. They can even match five-year-old humans on basic tests of intelligence.
41. What may cause birds’ long life?
A. Their big body size. B. Their ability to fly.
C. Their less adventurous nature. D. Their slow-paced lifestyle.
42. What do we know about parrots according to the text?
A. They outlive other similar-sized birds.
B. They live longer in the zoo than in the wild.
C. They have an average lifespan of four decades.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“But a bird tends to live much longer than a comparably-sized mammal. One theory is that birds’ ability to fly means they are less at risk from the animals that kill them, which reduces their risk of being eaten, decreases stress, and frees up bodily resources for growth.”（但鸟类往往比体型相当的哺乳动物活得更长。一种理论认为，鸟类的飞行能力意味着它们受到杀死它们的动物的威胁更小，这降低了它们被吃掉的风险，减轻了压力，并为成长释放了身体资源。）可知，鸟类的飞行能力降低了它们被吃掉的风险，减轻了生存压力，促使它们长寿，由此可知，鸟类的飞行能力可能促使它们长寿。故选B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Most of the other 398 parrot species also live longer than other birds of similar size.”（其他398种鹦鹉中的大多数也比其他体型相似的鸟类寿命更长。）可知，很多种鹦鹉比其他体型相似的鸟类寿命更长，由此可知，鹦鹉比其他类似大小的鸟类寿命长。故选A项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词下文“Parrot species with larger brains relative to their body size lived longer than species with smaller brains.”（与体型相比，大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长。）可知，“大脑较大的鹦鹉比大脑较小的鹦鹉寿命更长”是物种的寿命与其相对的大脑大小之间的联系，由此可知，他们寻找到了每种物种的寿命与其相对的大脑大小之间的联系，“Connection”意为“联系”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选D项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段关键句““This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible. For flexibility allows them to live longer.” Smeele said in a statement.”（Smeele在一份声明中说：“这支持了这样一个观点，即一般来说，较大的大脑会使物种更灵活。因为灵活可以让它们活得更长。”）可知，Smeele认为更大的大脑会使物种更灵活，有更强的适应能力，让它们活得更长，下文的例子告诉我们鹦鹉的大脑都相对较大，所以它们可以更好地适应环境，由此可知，作者想用第5段中的例子强调更大的大脑使鹦鹉有更强的适应能力。故选B项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“Parrots live extremely long partly due to their relatively large brains, an international team of researchers has discovered.”（一个国际研究小组发现，鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大。）可知，文章主要介绍了鹦鹉寿命极长，部分原因是它们的大脑相对较大，“Why do parrots live so long?”意为“鹦鹉为什么能活这么久？”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。
C
My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank away too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. Our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship strengthened itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair and the boring routine of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
46. What happened during her best friend’s visit?
A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend.
B. They talked constantly about their lives.
C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee.
D. They talked about recent news events.
47. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ________.
A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life
B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away
C. they try to show each other their best selves
D. they are comfortable just being themselves when together
48. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. Charm comes from difference. B. Politeness brings best friends closer.
C. Good friendships need devotion. D. Distance can separate good friends.
49. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ________.
A. describe what her best friend is like B. share the friendship she treasures
C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend
50. What is the tone of the passage?
A. Light-hearted. B. Humorous. C. Serious. D. Sentimental.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事，来告诉我们良好的友谊需要奉献，作者十分珍惜自己和朋友的这段友谊。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But we talked about every little detail of our lives. (但是我们关于生活的方方面面几乎无所不谈)”可知，作者的朋友来家中做客，两人一直在聊天，故选B项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段根据“As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don't have to “do” we simply have to “be”. We drop the act. The performance, the public version ofourselves.(正如我漫长的周末所显示的那样，与这样的朋友在一起，我们不需要“做什么”，我们只需要“做我们自己”。我们放弃了表演，放弃了公众对我们自己的看法)”可推断得知，作者欣赏的他们的友谊的点是，他们在一起时很舒适自在，卸下伪装，作真实的自己，故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。据最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort. despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives.(特别的友谊是那些永远不会不快乐的友谊，这种友谊的延续是值得付出额外努力的，尽管距离和差异潜入你们各自的生活)”可知，作者同意维系持久的友谊，需要努力付出，乐于奉献，故选C。
【49题详解】
目的意图题。根据最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. (特别的友谊是那些永远不会不快乐的友谊，这种友谊的延续是值得付出额外努力的，尽管距离和差异潜入你们各自的生活。上周那个欢愉的周末提醒我铭记这个真理)”可知，作者通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事，来告诉我们良好的友谊需要奉献，作者十分珍惜自己和朋友的这段友谊。作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是探讨友谊的关键层面。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection. (我很幸运能找到这个朋友，看到未来有她的陪伴。在一起就是完美。)”和第二段“Our long weekend together was luxuriously simple. (我们一起度过了一个奢侈而简单的漫长周末)”可知，本文无论是叙事还是抒发感悟，一直都是轻松闲适的基调，故选A项。
D
A new study published in the journal Reading and Writing shows that reading is closely related to language skills. The piece was written by Sandra Martin, professor of education, and PhD student Stephanie Kozak. They found that people who enjoyed reading fiction for leisure and who saw themselves as readers scored higher on language tests, while those who read to access specific information scored more poorly on the same tests.
Martin and Kozak used a scale called the Predictors of Leisure Reading (PoLR) to investigate reading behavior. They then examined how well the PoLR predicted the language skills of 200 undergraduate students. The researchers note that the age range of the subjects in the study is of key interest. In early adulthood, reading becomes self-directed rather than compelled by others, which means people can choose to read any book they like. So this is a key time for developing one’s own reading habits. But there is a general lack of research on this population, with most existing research mainly focusing on children.
The researchers administered (执行) a series of measures. First, the participants completed the 48-question PoLR scale measuring various reading factors, including motivations, obstacles, attitudes and interests. They were then given language tests similar to those found in the SAT and a measure of reading habits called the Author Recognition Test. This test asks participants to select the names of real fiction and non-fiction authors they are familiar with from a long list of real and fake names. Scores on this test are related to both actual reading behavior and verbal abilities: those who scored higher read more and have better verbal abilities than those who scored lower.
After analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that reading enjoyment, positive attitudes and deeply established interests predicted better verbal abilities and that they were more strongly associated with exposure to fiction than non-fiction.
The many benefits of reading have long been established. Besides having better verbal abilities, lifelong readers are known to be more understanding of others, to attain higher socioeconomic status and even to live longer, healthier lives than non-readers. The findings of the study can give teachers and parents some enlightenment (启发). They can promote a love of reading by letting young people read what they want, without guilt or shame.
51. What plays a key role in improving people’s language skills according to the study?
A. Their reading speeds. B. Their reading frequencies.
C. Their motivations for reading. D. Their understanding of the content.
52. What does the underlined word “compelled” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Forced. B. Admired. C. Evaluated. D. Followed.
53. What distinguishes Martin and Kozak’s study from most existing research?
A. Its research method. B. Its scoring criterion.
C. Its large sample size. D. Its selection of subjects.
54. How did the researchers learn about the participants’ actual reading habits?
A. By analyzing their performance in reading and comprehending a given article.
B. By asking them to introduce their favorite writers and books in detail.
C. By letting them choose their familiar authors from a partly real list.
D. By requesting them to do some SAT language tests.
55. What’s the inspiration for teachers and parents while educating kids?
A. Setting an example for kids in reading. B. Allowing kids to read their favorite books.
C. Asking kids to make friends with lifelong readers. D. Encouraging kids to start reading as early as possible.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究结果，阅读有许多好处，老师和家长应该让孩子们读他们喜欢的书，这会促进他们对阅读的热爱。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“They found that people who enjoyed reading fiction for leisure and who saw themselves as readers scored higher on language tests, while those who read to access specific information scored more poorly on the same tests.”（他们发现，那些喜欢为了休闲阅读小说并把自己视为读者的人在语言测试中得分更高，而那些为了获取特定信息而阅读的人在相同的测试中得分更低。）可知，阅读的动机不同，在语言测试中的得分也不同，为了休闲阅读小说的人在语言测试中得分更高，为了获取特定信息而阅读的人在相同的测试中得分更低，由此可知，根据研究，人们阅读的动机在提高人们的语言技能方面起着关键作用。故选C项。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词句中“which means people can choose to read any book they like”（这意味着人们可以选择阅读任何他们喜欢的书）可知，人们可以选择阅读任何他们喜欢的书，由此可知，在成年早期，阅读不是被他人强迫的，而是可以选择阅读任何喜欢的书，“Forced”意为“强迫”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“They then examined how well the PoLR predicted the language skills of 200 undergraduate students. The researchers note that the age range of the subjects in the study is of key interest.”（然后，他们检查了PoLR对200名本科生语言技能的预测程度。研究人员指出，研究对象的年龄范围至关重要。）和“But there is a general lack of research on this population, with most existing research mainly focusing on children.”（但普遍缺乏对这一人群的研究，现有的大多数研究主要集中在儿童身上。）可知，现有的大多数研究主要集中在儿童身上，而马丁和科扎克的选择了200名本科生作为研究对象，由此可知，马丁和科扎克的研究与大多数现有研究的不同之处在于它选择的研究对象不同。故选D项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“They were then given language tests similar to those found in the SAT and a measure of reading habits called the Author Recognition Test. This test asks participants to select the names of real fiction and non-fiction authors they are familiar with from a long list of real and fake names.”（然后，他们接受了类似于SAT考试的语言测试，以及一项名为“作者识别测试”的阅读习惯测试。这项测试要求参与者从一长串真实和虚假的名字中选择他们熟悉的真实的小说作者和非小说类作者的名字。）可知，为了了解参与者的实际阅读习惯，他们进行了一项名为“作者识别测试”的阅读习惯测试，让参与者从部分真实的名字列表中选择自己熟悉的作者名字，由此可知，研究人员为了了解参与者的实际阅读习惯，让他们从部分真实的名字列表中选择自己熟悉的作者。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The findings of the study can give teachers and parents some enlightenment (启发). They can promote a love of reading by letting young people read what they want, without guilt or shame.”（研究结果可以给教师和家长一些启发。他们可以让年轻人阅读他们想看的东西，而不感到内疚或羞耻，从而促进对阅读的热爱。）可知，研究结果给教师和家长一些启发，他们可以让年轻人阅读他们想看的东西，这会促进他们对阅读的热爱，由此可知，在教育孩子时，这项研究启发老师和家长让孩子们读他们最喜欢的书。故选B项。
第II卷 (共35分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
“Mom, look at this LEGO Star Wars set,” my eight-year-old son Nathan said. “Can I get it for my birthday?” I looked at the LEGO set in question.
“Nathan, this isn’t just a regular LEGO set. It’s an Advent calendar(降临历).” Seeing his questioning look, I explained, “An Advent calendar counts down the days until Christmas. Starting on December 1st, you open one box each day, and each box contains one small LEGO toy.”
“I want this really badly, Mom. Can I get it for my birthday?”
“Yes, but here’s the problem with that. It’s August right now, and your birthday is in September. If we bought this for your birthday, you couldn’t start opening the toys until December 1st. That would be a long time for you before playing with a new toy. Are you sure you want it?” He thought for a minute and said, “Yes, Mom, I really want that Advent calendar.” So we bought the calendar.
On Nathan’s birthday in mid-September, he received many presents, including the Advent calendar. He seemed as surprised and pleased with it as he did with other gifts that were actually a surprise. And then he started to open it.
“Remember that’s an Advent calendar. So we can’t open it yet.” His shoulders slumped(垂下来). “Oh, yeah, that’s right,” he said unwillingly.
We put the box in his closet. I hoped he’d forget about it, but that was wishful thinking.
“How many more days should I wait until I can start opening the toys in the calendar?” he asked the day after his birthday. I gave him a pocket calendar, and we counted how many days there were until December 1st.
After waiting for so long, it was December 1st finally. Nathan’s hands were practically shaking as he opened that first box. “I’m so glad I waited, Mom,” he told me.
People say that Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year. I know these complaints are about the over-commercialization of the holiday, and I see their point. But this year, Christmas came to our house very early, and it was so much fun.
56. What is an Advent calendar used to do? (no more than 10 words)
________________
57. Why was the author unwilling to buy the Advent calendar for Nathan at first? (no more than 12 words)
________________
58. How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7? (no more than 8 words)
________________
59. Why do people say Christmas starts earlier and earlier? (no more than 10 words)
________________
60. What do you think of Nathan’s birthday present? Why? (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】56. To count down days from December 1st to Christmas.
57. Because Nathan had to wait long before he could open it.
58. He didn’t forget about it at all.
59. Because businessmen start to advertise Christmas earlier and earlier./ Because of the over commercialization of the holiday.
60. I think it’s a wonderful and meaningful present because it taught Nathan about patience and the power of delayed satisfaction.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在儿子内森的软磨硬泡下，给他买下了一份降临历作为生日礼物。但是当时距离圣诞节还有4个月，内森尽管几次想要提前拆开礼物，但是最终等到了圣诞节，他懂得了延迟快乐的意义。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“An Advent calendar counts down the days until Christmas. Starting on December 1st, (降临节日历为圣诞节倒计时。从12月1日开始)”可知，降临历以前是用于从12月1日开始，标注圣诞节倒计时。故答案为To count down days from December 1st to Christmas.
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If we bought this for your birthday, you couldn’t start opening the toys until December 1st. That would be a long time for you before playing with a new toy. Are you sure you want it? (如果我们买这个作为你的生日礼物，你要到12月1日才能打开玩具。在玩新玩具之前，你得花很长时间。你确定要吗?)”可知，作者一开始并不想给儿子内森买降临历，是因为他得等四个月漫长的时间才能打开生日礼物。这对一个小孩子来说是煎熬的。故答案为Because Nathan had to wait long before he could open it.
【58题详解】
句意猜测题。根据倒数第四段““How many more days should I wait until I can start opening the toys in the calendar?” he asked the day after his birthday. I gave him a pocket calendar, and we counted how many days there were until December 1st. (“我还要等多少天才能开始打开日历上的玩具?”他在生日的第二天问道。我给了他一本袖珍日历，我们数着离12月1日还有多少天)”可知，作者原本希望儿子暂时忘记这份特别的生日礼物，但从他的生日第二天起，内森就心心念念打开礼物的日子，作者起初的想法只能是一厢情愿，故答案为He didn’t forget about it at all。
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I know these complaints are about the over-commercialization of the holiday, (我知道这些抱怨是关于节日的过度商业化)”可知，作者认为圣诞节日期越来越提前，是因为早在每年的12月25日以前，商家们早已开始各显神通，使出浑身解数，推广各种节日相关的商业活动，故答案为Because businessmen start to advertise Christmas earlier and earlier./ Because of the over commercialization of the holiday.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After waiting for so long, it was December 1st finally. Nathan’s hands were practically shaking as he opened that first box. “I’m so glad I waited, Mom,” he told me. (等了这么久，终于到了12月1日。当内森打开第一个盒子时，他的手几乎在颤抖。“我真高兴我等了，妈妈，”他告诉我)”可知，作者认为送给内森的这份礼物非常有意义，这让他明白了耐心等待和延迟快乐的意义，故答案为I think it’s a wonderful and meaningful present because it taught Nathan about patience and the power of delayed satisfaction.
