Charlie Chaplin, British comedian, producer, writer, director and composer, is widely regarded as the greatest comic artist o£ the screen and one of the most important figures in the film history.
Chaplin was named after his father, a British entertainer. He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and took the place of his mentally unstable mother to appear on the stage. However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. Then, Charlie was sent to a series of boarding schools.
Using his mother’s show-business contacts, Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when he joined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a dancing act. His following stage characters include a small role in William Gillette^ Sherlock Holmes (1899). While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett’s Keystone comedy films. Though Making a Living (1914) was not the failure that historians have claimed , Chaplin’s first screen character did not show him to best advantage. To come up with a more-workable screen image, Chaplin created an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants and a walking stick. As a finishing touch, he put on a mustache(胡子).It was in his second Keystone film, Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), that Chaplin’s classic screen character, “the Little Tramp(流浪汉)“，was born.
In truth, Chaplin did not always portray a tramp; in many of his films his character was employed as a waiter, store clerk? stagehand, fireman, and the like. But the Tramp’s attraction was universal： audiences loved his cheekiness(厚脸皮)，unexpected bravery and especially his recovery in the face of difficulties which moved the audience most. Some historians have traced the Tramp’s origins to Chaplin’s Dickensian childhood, while others have suggested that the character had its roots in the motto (座右铭)of Chaplin’s teacher, Fred Karno： ”Keep it eager, gentlemen, keep it eager. “ Whatever the case, within months after his movie was on, Chaplin was the screen’s biggest star.
4. Which word best describes Chaplin’s early life?
A. Carefree. B. Struggling. C. Simple. D. Boring.
5. What made Chaplin separate from his mother?
A. His further study in an art school. B. His performances in another country.
C. His mother’s serious health problem. D. His father disapproval of their meeting.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Chaplin?
A. His early performances. B. His main characters.
C. The reason for his success. D. His relationship with others.
7. Which aspect of the Tramp moved the audience most?
A. His action with a walking stick. B. His unique and serious appearance,
C. His special learning experience. D. His ability to recover from difficulties.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了查理·卓别林早年的生活经历和演艺生涯。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and took the place of his mentally unstable mother to appear on the stage. However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. Then, Charlie was sent to a series of boarding schools.（他的母亲是歌手汉娜·霍尔，她和卓别林的父亲分开后，卓别林与母亲在一起度过了童年，并代替精神不稳定的母亲登台表演。然而，因为生病的霍尔被送往医院，他和母亲很快就分开了。然后，查理被送往一系列寄宿学校。）” 可知，卓别林的早年生活是很艰难的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. （然而，因为生病的霍尔被送往医院，他和母亲很快就分开了。）”可知，他母亲的严重健康问题使卓别林与母亲分开。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Using his mother’s show-business contacts, Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when he joined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a dancing act. His following stage characters include a small role in William Gillette^ Sherlock Holmes (1899). While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett5s Keystone comedy films. Though Making a Living (1914) was not the failure that historians have claimed , Chaplin’s first screen character did not show him to best advantage. To come up with a more-workable screen image, Chaplin created an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants and a walking stick. As a finishing touch, he put on a mustache(胡子).It was in his second Keystone film, Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), that Chaplin’s classic screen character, “the Little Tramp(流浪汉)“，was born.（1897年，查理利用母亲的演艺人脉，加入了兰开夏郡的八个舞蹈团，成为了一名职业艺人。他接下来的舞台角色包括威廉·吉列的《福尔摩斯》（1899）中的一个小角色。1913年，卓别林与卡尔诺公司在美国巡演时，签约出演了麦克·森内特的Keystone喜剧电影。尽管《谋生》（1914）并不是历史学家所宣称的失败，但卓别林的第一个银幕角色并没有给他带来最大的优势。为了创造出一个更可行的银幕形象，卓别林创造了一套由太小的外套、太大的裤子和手杖组成的服装。作为点睛之笔，他留上了胡子。卓别林的经典银幕角色“小流浪汉”正是在他的第二部Keystone电影《威尼斯儿童汽车赛》（1914）中诞生。）”可知，第三段中关于卓别林的描述更多地是围绕他的经典角色展开的，即第三段主要讲述的是他扮演过的主要角色。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“especially his recovery in the face of difficulties which moved the audience most（尤其是他在面对困难时的自我恢复能力，最令观众感动。）”可知，《小流浪汉》中的他从困难中恢复的能力最打动观众。故选D。
C
Young adults often have a lot to learn in school. However, occasionally, the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.
Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their household rather than school, but that’s not exactly true. Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary moral lessons needed and habitually rely on school to propound them with this essential knowledge. This is why courses of life skills should be set up in schools.
Over the course of history, students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science, instead of what is required for real world-communication, which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family, friends, teachers perhaps or even employers. Schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.
In addition, the handling of finances is one of the major life skills for students. For people, especially young people, to survive in today5s financial environment, knowledge of personal finance is a necessity. For example, schools educating students about building credit scores and keeping up with a credit card is helpful. However, Educational Institutions does not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing ： paying taxes, mortgage, bills, insurance, etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at US colleges and universities.
With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.
8. What does the underlined word “propound” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Bother. B. Charge. C. Provide. D. Treat.
9. What does the author advise schools to teach students?
A. Skills of making money. B. The communication ability.
C. The history of their country. D. Ways to study maths and science.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. It is easy to survive in today’s financial environment.
B. Most of the students don’t need to build credit scores.
C. Students are lacking in instructions of financial management.
D. Educational Institutions spend much time on money managing.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Have Students Learned in School?
B. Why Should Life Skills Be Taught in School?
C. How Can Students Behave Well in Daily Life?
D. Why Should Parents Teach Kids Moral Lessons?
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学校向学生传授生活基本技能的必要性，向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，使他们在未来的生活中获得更大的成功。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的“Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their household rather than school, but that’s not exactly true. Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary moral lessons needed... This is why courses of life skills should be set up in schools.（有些人可能会说，生活技能应由家庭而不是学校来传授，但这并不完全正确。有些学生没有家长来教他们必要的道德课，这就是学校应该开设生活技能课程的原因。）”可知，有些学生不能得到家长的教育，因此他们便要习惯性地依赖学校向他们传授这些基本知识，即由学校向他们提供这些基本知识，因此划线词意为“提供”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over the course of history, students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science, instead of what is required for real world-communication, which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family, friends, teachers perhaps or even employers. Schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.（纵观历史，学生通常会去某种教育机构把全部的时间用来学习数学和科学，而不是通过行为和举止进行真实世界所需要的交流。在与家人、朋友、老师甚至是雇主交谈时，礼仪很重要。学校应该找到一种方法来教授礼仪，让学生在对待其他人时获得尊重和做到思想开明。）”和最后一段的“With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.（通过向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，他们将在未来的生活中更加成功。）”可知，作者强调在现实生活中沟通能力的重要性，看得出作者是在建议学校教学生沟通能力。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“ However, Educational Institutions does not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing ： paying taxes, mortgage, bills, insurance, etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at US colleges and universities.（然而，教育机构并没有花大量时间谈论资金管理的话题：纳税、抵押、账单、保险等。现在是时候通过将个人理财作为美国高校的必修课程来扩展金融知识了。）”可知，在财务管理方面，教育机构为学生做的并不充分，可以推断出学生缺乏财务管理方面的指导。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段的“Young adults often have a lot to learn in school. However, occasionally, the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.（年轻人在学校经常有很多东西要学。然而，有时候，他们在校外获得成功所需的生活技能并没有学到。这可能就是为什么高中毕业后的几年有时是年轻人最不安和紧张的时期。）”可知，这强调了学校向学生传授生活基本技能的必要性，再由最后一段中的“With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.（通过向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，他们将在未来的生活中更加成功。）可知，生活基本技能主要包括沟通能力的培养和财务管理的基本指导两方面，以使学生获得更大的成功，因此B项（为什么要在学校教授生活技能？）可以作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
It can be hard to convince homeowners to use less water on their lawns (草坪), particularly during a hot and dry summer. But tell them it’s a competition for the ugliest lawn, and suddenly they may be more willing to give up using the sprinkler(洒水器).
This clever strategy was employed by the government of Gotland, Sweden’s largest island located in the Baltic Sea. Gotland sees its population double during the summer months as tourists arrive. This puts pressure on the island’s already-limited water supply, which is projected to decrease by 13% between 2021 and 2050, as demand is expected to rise by 40% by 2045.
The campaign, called “Gotland’s Ugliest Lawn”, urged homeowners to compete for the saddest, deadest and brownest yard. They were asked to avoid watering for an entire season, then post a photo of the lawn using a label that linked it to the campaign.
Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said that “the ugliest lawn contest would remind the islanders not to waste water, and to talk about ways they can adapt their gardens to suit the existing conditions and the climate crisis”.
The winner for this year was announced in mid-August, and it’s Marcus Norstrom, who did not water his lawn once throughout the entire summer. His photo shows a large brown space with some sparse yellow grasses sticking out——the kind of yard in which you would not want to walk barefoot (赤脚地)for risk of hurting your feet. The government must be feeling pleased ; its strategy has worked.
It’s an interesting strategy which attempts to normalize and even celebrate dead grass. It is reasonable to assume that the more people see it around their communities, the more acceptable it will become. They may also grow curious when they realize there are other ways to create and maintain an attractive-looking yard, even without irrigation(灌溉).
12. What’s the aim of the competition for the ugliest lawn?
A. To reduce the waste of water. B. To limit the growth of local lawns.
C. To strengthen citizens’ friendship. D. To enhance citizens, health awareness.
13. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show?
A. Gotland is rich in water resources.
B. People will have no water to drink in 2050.
C. Gotland is faced with serious lack of water.
D. The population of Gotland grows faster and faster.
14. What’s Mimmi Gibson’s attitude towards the ugliest lawn contest?
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To explain the success of the strategy.
B. To tell citizens the danger of the ugliest lawn.
C To discuss why it’s dangerous to waste water.
D. To show citizens what the ugliest lawn looks like.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。瑞典哥特兰岛的政府为了鼓励岛民节约用水，举行了“哥特兰最丑草坪”的评选活动并且取得了很好的效果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It can be hard to convince homeowners to use less water on their lawns (草坪), particularly during a hot and dry summer. But tell them it’s a competition for the ugliest lawn, and suddenly they may be more willing to give up using the sprinkler（很难说服房主在草坪上少用水，尤其是在炎热干燥的夏天。但如果告诉他们这是一场最丑草坪的比赛，他们可能会突然更愿意放弃使用洒水器）”可以推论出，评选最丑草坪的目的是为了减少水的浪费。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“This puts pressure on the island’s already-limited water supply, which is projected to decrease by 13% between 2021 and 2050, as demand is expected to rise by 40% by 2045.（这给该岛本已有限的供水带来了压力，预计2021年至2050年期间，该岛的供水将减少13%，而到2045年，需求预计将增加40%）”可知，这些数字表明岛上的供水在减少，但是需求在增加，所以，这些数字表明哥特兰岛面临严重的水短缺问题。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said that ‘the ugliest lawn contest would remind the islanders not to waste water, and to talk about ways they can adapt their gardens to suit the existing conditions and the climate crisis’.（哥特兰地区代理市场营销和品牌经理米米·吉布森说：‘最丑草坪比赛将提醒岛民不要浪费水，并讨论如何调整他们的花园以适应现有条件和气候危机’）”可知，米米·吉布森对最丑草坪的评选持肯定的态度。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“It’s an interesting strategy which attempts to normalize and even celebrate dead grass. It is reasonable to assume that the more people see it around their communities, the more acceptable it will become. They may also grow curious when they realize there are other ways to create and maintain an attractive-looking yard, even without irrigation（这是一种有趣的策略，试图将枯草正常化，甚至是庆祝枯草。我们可以合理地假设，在社区周围看到它的人越多，人们就越能接受它。当他们意识到有其他方法来创建和维护一个有吸引力的院子时，他们也可能会变得好奇，甚至没有灌溉）”可知，最后一段的目的是为了表明政府的这一策略是成功的，因为人们认为有枯草是正常的，甚至庆祝枯草，这样人们就不用浇水，就达到了节约用水的目的。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。
Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language? The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. ____16____. This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth? Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious? In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. ____17____. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.
In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____18____.
So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. ____19____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
____20____, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!
A. It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
B. So, the next time you decide to travel to another country
C. When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight.
D. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.
E. Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.
F. Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.
G. A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是肢体语言及不同地区肢体语言的差异。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. (理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能。)”可知，上文告诉我们理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，E项意为“即使最小的孩子也能知道妈妈什么时候生气了。”选项能够承接上文，举例说明理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，即使最小的孩子也能通过肢体语言知道妈妈什么时候生气了。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文“In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. (然而，在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，而不是握手。)”可知，下文告诉我们在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，G项意为“在西方文化中，说“你好”的一般方式是简短的握手。”选项能够引起下文，分别介绍了西方和印度问候某人的方式，西方是简短的握手，印度不是握手，而是触摸他们的脚。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). (例如，“OK”符号在印度被用作极好的符号，但在土耳其，这个符号被认为是冒犯性的。)”可知，上文告诉我们在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，C项意为“当你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。”选项能够承接上文，在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. (那么，我们该怎么办？我们不应该使用手势吗？当然不是。)”可知，上文提出问题，既然各地的手势语不同，我们不应该使用手势吗？F项意为“手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。”选项能够承接上文，我们应该使用手势语，因为手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! (你最好在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书，以便更好地与当地人互动，避免在逗留期间冒犯他们！)”可知，下文告诉我们可以通过在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，B项意为“所以，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时”，选项能够引起下文，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时，先在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，以便更好地与当地人互动。故选B。

Fifteen Dollars From a Strange Woman
“Wake up. Mama!” I felt a little hand on my face and opened my eyes. There was my son, ready to start the day. I also heard my baby and toddler(学步的儿童)awake in the next room. Ready or not, the day had begun!
I loved being at home with my little ones, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband and I had just bought a house, and some unexpected expenses made our budget (预算)tighter than it had ever been.
I got out of bed and pulled on my faded jeans and sneakers that had seen better days. I only had one task on the to-do list for the day. I was going to pick up my kids’ photos from the studio at the local mall. Despite our small budget, it was important for me to have pictures of my children as they were growing up. Since we were going to the mall, I decided to make it an outing and packed some sandwiches for us to eat at the food court.
After breakfast, I put everyone into the car, and off we went. After we parked, I unfolded the double stroller (婴儿车), put in the youngest two kids and asked the oldest to hold onto the stroller.
We wheeled into the studio at the mall, and I approached the counter. The young woman smiled. “May I help you?”
“Yes, I’m here to pick up our photos,” I answered.
The woman asked my name and opened her large drawer. “Schmoyer... Schmoyer... Ah, yes, here they are. Aren’t they just so adorable?” She fanned out the photos and the smiling faces of my kids warmed my heart.
“Yes, they are great. Thank you,” I said.
She put the photos into an envelope for me. Then she spread out additional photos of my kids that I hadn’t ordered. I knew what that meant.
“Would you like to purchase these extra photos? They are only fifteen dollars a piece!” she smiled sweetly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My face hardened and my heart turned cold.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just when we started our lunch, I found the woman we had met at the photo studio standing next to our table.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My face hardened and my heart turned cold. “I don’t have fifteen dollars.” I took the photo envelope and walked away, with my cheeks red after my reply. Next, we stopped at the ride-on toy cars in the mall’s food court. There weren’t any other kids there. My kids climbed on them enjoying themselves very much. After a while, we were tired so we unwrapped our lunches that I had brought from home. Although the mall’s food court was near, I didn’t have extra money. It was early for lunch, but we were hungry.
Just when we started our lunch, I found the woman we had met at the photo studio standing next to our table. She said, “Here. Take your family out for ice cream after lunch.” I was surprised. I managed to say “thank you” as she turned and walked away. Then I looked down at what she had given to me. The bills totaled fifteen dollars. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I quietly finished my sandwich. The doubts in my heart melted away and my faith was renewed. Kindness can change someone’s dark moment into a bright one.

Charlie Chaplin, British comedian, producer, writer, director and composer, is widely regarded as the greatest comic artist o£ the screen and one of the most important figures in the film history.
Chaplin was named after his father, a British entertainer. He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and took the place of his mentally unstable mother to appear on the stage. However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. Then, Charlie was sent to a series of boarding schools.
Using his mother’s show-business contacts, Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when he joined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a dancing act. His following stage characters include a small role in William Gillette^ Sherlock Holmes (1899). While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett’s Keystone comedy films. Though Making a Living (1914) was not the failure that historians have claimed , Chaplin’s first screen character did not show him to best advantage. To come up with a more-workable screen image, Chaplin created an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants and a walking stick. As a finishing touch, he put on a mustache(胡子).It was in his second Keystone film, Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), that Chaplin’s classic screen character, “the Little Tramp(流浪汉)“，was born.
In truth, Chaplin did not always portray a tramp; in many of his films his character was employed as a waiter, store clerk? stagehand, fireman, and the like. But the Tramp’s attraction was universal： audiences loved his cheekiness(厚脸皮)，unexpected bravery and especially his recovery in the face of difficulties which moved the audience most. Some historians have traced the Tramp’s origins to Chaplin’s Dickensian childhood, while others have suggested that the character had its roots in the motto (座右铭)of Chaplin’s teacher, Fred Karno： ”Keep it eager, gentlemen, keep it eager. “ Whatever the case, within months after his movie was on, Chaplin was the screen’s biggest star.
4. Which word best describes Chaplin’s early life?
A. Carefree. B. Struggling. C. Simple. D. Boring.
5. What made Chaplin separate from his mother?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了查理·卓别林早年的生活经历和演艺生涯。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and took the place of his mentally unstable mother to appear on the stage. However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. Then, Charlie was sent to a series of boarding schools.（他的母亲是歌手汉娜·霍尔，她和卓别林的父亲分开后，卓别林与母亲在一起度过了童年，并代替精神不稳定的母亲登台表演。然而，因为生病的霍尔被送往医院，他和母亲很快就分开了。然后，查理被送往一系列寄宿学校。）” 可知，卓别林的早年生活是很艰难的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. （然而，因为生病的霍尔被送往医院，他和母亲很快就分开了。）”可知，他母亲的严重健康问题使卓别林与母亲分开。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Using his mother’s show-business contacts, Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when he joined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a dancing act. His following stage characters include a small role in William Gillette^ Sherlock Holmes (1899). While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett5s Keystone comedy films. Though Making a Living (1914) was not the failure that historians have claimed , Chaplin’s first screen character did not show him to best advantage. To come up with a more-workable screen image, Chaplin created an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants and a walking stick. As a finishing touch, he put on a mustache(胡子).It was in his second Keystone film, Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), that Chaplin’s classic screen character, “the Little Tramp(流浪汉)“，was born.（1897年，查理利用母亲的演艺人脉，加入了兰开夏郡的八个舞蹈团，成为了一名职业艺人。他接下来的舞台角色包括威廉·吉列的《福尔摩斯》（1899）中的一个小角色。1913年，卓别林与卡尔诺公司在美国巡演时，签约出演了麦克·森内特的Keystone喜剧电影。尽管《谋生》（1914）并不是历史学家所宣称的失败，但卓别林的第一个银幕角色并没有给他带来最大的优势。为了创造出一个更可行的银幕形象，卓别林创造了一套由太小的外套、太大的裤子和手杖组成的服装。作为点睛之笔，他留上了胡子。卓别林的经典银幕角色“小流浪汉”正是在他的第二部Keystone电影《威尼斯儿童汽车赛》（1914）中诞生。）”可知，第三段中关于卓别林的描述更多地是围绕他的经典角色展开的，即第三段主要讲述的是他扮演过的主要角色。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“especially his recovery in the face of difficulties which moved the audience most（尤其是他在面对困难时的自我恢复能力，最令观众感动。）”可知，《小流浪汉》中的他从困难中恢复的能力最打动观众。故选D。
C
Young adults often have a lot to learn in school. However, occasionally, the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.
Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their household rather than school, but that’s not exactly true. Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary moral lessons needed and habitually rely on school to propound them with this essential knowledge. This is why courses of life skills should be set up in schools.
Over the course of history, students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science, instead of what is required for real world-communication, which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family, friends, teachers perhaps or even employers. Schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.
In addition, the handling of finances is one of the major life skills for students. For people, especially young people, to survive in today5s financial environment, knowledge of personal finance is a necessity. For example, schools educating students about building credit scores and keeping up with a credit card is helpful. However, Educational Institutions does not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing ： paying taxes, mortgage, bills, insurance, etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at US colleges and universities.
With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.
8. What does the underlined word “propound” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Bother. B. Charge. C. Provide. D. Treat.
9. What does the author advise schools to teach students?
A. Skills of making money. B. The communication ability.
C. The history of their country. D. Ways to study maths and science.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. It is easy to survive in today’s financial environment.
B. Most of the students don’t need to build credit scores.
C. Students are lacking in instructions of financial management.
D. Educational Institutions spend much time on money managing.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Have Students Learned in School?
B. Why Should Life Skills Be Taught in School?
C. How Can Students Behave Well in Daily Life?
D. Why Should Parents Teach Kids Moral Lessons?
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学校向学生传授生活基本技能的必要性，向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，使他们在未来的生活中获得更大的成功。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的“Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their household rather than school, but that’s not exactly true. Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary moral lessons needed... This is why courses of life skills should be set up in schools.（有些人可能会说，生活技能应由家庭而不是学校来传授，但这并不完全正确。有些学生没有家长来教他们必要的道德课，这就是学校应该开设生活技能课程的原因。）”可知，有些学生不能得到家长的教育，因此他们便要习惯性地依赖学校向他们传授这些基本知识，即由学校向他们提供这些基本知识，因此划线词意为“提供”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over the course of history, students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science, instead of what is required for real world-communication, which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family, friends, teachers perhaps or even employers. Schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.（纵观历史，学生通常会去某种教育机构把全部的时间用来学习数学和科学，而不是通过行为和举止进行真实世界所需要的交流。在与家人、朋友、老师甚至是雇主交谈时，礼仪很重要。学校应该找到一种方法来教授礼仪，让学生在对待其他人时获得尊重和做到思想开明。）”和最后一段的“With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.（通过向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，他们将在未来的生活中更加成功。）”可知，作者强调在现实生活中沟通能力的重要性，看得出作者是在建议学校教学生沟通能力。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“ However, Educational Institutions does not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing ： paying taxes, mortgage, bills, insurance, etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at US colleges and universities.（然而，教育机构并没有花大量时间谈论资金管理的话题：纳税、抵押、账单、保险等。现在是时候通过将个人理财作为美国高校的必修课程来扩展金融知识了。）”可知，在财务管理方面，教育机构为学生做的并不充分，可以推断出学生缺乏财务管理方面的指导。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段的“Young adults often have a lot to learn in school. However, occasionally, the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.（年轻人在学校经常有很多东西要学。然而，有时候，他们在校外获得成功所需的生活技能并没有学到。这可能就是为什么高中毕业后的几年有时是年轻人最不安和紧张的时期。）”可知，这强调了学校向学生传授生活基本技能的必要性，再由最后一段中的“With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.（通过向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，他们将在未来的生活中更加成功。）可知，生活基本技能主要包括沟通能力的培养和财务管理的基本指导两方面，以使学生获得更大的成功，因此B项（为什么要在学校教授生活技能？）可以作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
It can be hard to convince homeowners to use less water on their lawns (草坪), particularly during a hot and dry summer. But tell them it’s a competition for the ugliest lawn, and suddenly they may be more willing to give up using the sprinkler(洒水器).
This clever strategy was employed by the government of Gotland, Sweden’s largest island located in the Baltic Sea. Gotland sees its population double during the summer months as tourists arrive. This puts pressure on the island’s already-limited water supply, which is projected to decrease by 13% between 2021 and 2050, as demand is expected to rise by 40% by 2045.
The campaign, called “Gotland’s Ugliest Lawn”, urged homeowners to compete for the saddest, deadest and brownest yard. They were asked to avoid watering for an entire season, then post a photo of the lawn using a label that linked it to the campaign.
Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said that “the ugliest lawn contest would remind the islanders not to waste water, and to talk about ways they can adapt their gardens to suit the existing conditions and the climate crisis”.
The winner for this year was announced in mid-August, and it’s Marcus Norstrom, who did not water his lawn once throughout the entire summer. His photo shows a large brown space with some sparse yellow grasses sticking out——the kind of yard in which you would not want to walk barefoot (赤脚地)for risk of hurting your feet. The government must be feeling pleased ; its strategy has worked.
It’s an interesting strategy which attempts to normalize and even celebrate dead grass. It is reasonable to assume that the more people see it around their communities, the more acceptable it will become. They may also grow curious when they realize there are other ways to create and maintain an attractive-looking yard, even without irrigation(灌溉).
12. What’s the aim of the competition for the ugliest lawn?
A. To reduce the waste of water. B. To limit the growth of local lawns.
C. To strengthen citizens’ friendship. D. To enhance citizens, health awareness.
13. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show?
A. Gotland is rich in water resources.
B. People will have no water to drink in 2050.
C. Gotland is faced with serious lack of water.
D. The population of Gotland grows faster and faster.
14. What’s Mimmi Gibson’s attitude towards the ugliest lawn contest?
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To explain the success of the strategy.
B. To tell citizens the danger of the ugliest lawn.
C To discuss why it’s dangerous to waste water.
D. To show citizens what the ugliest lawn looks like.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。瑞典哥特兰岛的政府为了鼓励岛民节约用水，举行了“哥特兰最丑草坪”的评选活动并且取得了很好的效果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It can be hard to convince homeowners to use less water on their lawns (草坪), particularly during a hot and dry summer. But tell them it’s a competition for the ugliest lawn, and suddenly they may be more willing to give up using the sprinkler（很难说服房主在草坪上少用水，尤其是在炎热干燥的夏天。但如果告诉他们这是一场最丑草坪的比赛，他们可能会突然更愿意放弃使用洒水器）”可以推论出，评选最丑草坪的目的是为了减少水的浪费。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“This puts pressure on the island’s already-limited water supply, which is projected to decrease by 13% between 2021 and 2050, as demand is expected to rise by 40% by 2045.（这给该岛本已有限的供水带来了压力，预计2021年至2050年期间，该岛的供水将减少13%，而到2045年，需求预计将增加40%）”可知，这些数字表明岛上的供水在减少，但是需求在增加，所以，这些数字表明哥特兰岛面临严重的水短缺问题。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said that ‘the ugliest lawn contest would remind the islanders not to waste water, and to talk about ways they can adapt their gardens to suit the existing conditions and the climate crisis’.（哥特兰地区代理市场营销和品牌经理米米·吉布森说：‘最丑草坪比赛将提醒岛民不要浪费水，并讨论如何调整他们的花园以适应现有条件和气候危机’）”可知，米米·吉布森对最丑草坪的评选持肯定的态度。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“It’s an interesting strategy which attempts to normalize and even celebrate dead grass. It is reasonable to assume that the more people see it around their communities, the more acceptable it will become. They may also grow curious when they realize there are other ways to create and maintain an attractive-looking yard, even without irrigation（这是一种有趣的策略，试图将枯草正常化，甚至是庆祝枯草。我们可以合理地假设，在社区周围看到它的人越多，人们就越能接受它。当他们意识到有其他方法来创建和维护一个有吸引力的院子时，他们也可能会变得好奇，甚至没有灌溉）”可知，最后一段的目的是为了表明政府的这一策略是成功的，因为人们认为有枯草是正常的，甚至庆祝枯草，这样人们就不用浇水，就达到了节约用水的目的。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。
Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language? The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. ____16____. This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth? Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious? In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. ____17____. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.
In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____18____.
So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. ____19____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
____20____, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!
A. It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
B. So, the next time you decide to travel to another country
C. When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight.
D. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.
E. Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.
F. Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.
G. A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是肢体语言及不同地区肢体语言的差异。
【16题详解】

【17题详解】
根据下文“In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. (然而，在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，而不是握手。)”可知，下文告诉我们在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，G项意为“在西方文化中，说“你好”的一般方式是简短的握手。”选项能够引起下文，分别介绍了西方和印度问候某人的方式，西方是简短的握手，印度不是握手，而是触摸他们的脚。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). (例如，“OK”符号在印度被用作极好的符号，但在土耳其，这个符号被认为是冒犯性的。)”可知，上文告诉我们在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，C项意为“当你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。”选项能够承接上文，在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. (那么，我们该怎么办？我们不应该使用手势吗？当然不是。)”可知，上文提出问题，既然各地的手势语不同，我们不应该使用手势吗？F项意为“手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。”选项能够承接上文，我们应该使用手势语，因为手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! (你最好在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书，以便更好地与当地人互动，避免在逗留期间冒犯他们！)”可知，下文告诉我们可以通过在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，B项意为“所以，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时”，选项能够引起下文，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时，先在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，以便更好地与当地人互动。故选B。

Fifteen Dollars From a Strange Woman
“Wake up. Mama!” I felt a little hand on my face and opened my eyes. There was my son, ready to start the day. I also heard my baby and toddler(学步的儿童)awake in the next room. Ready or not, the day had begun!
I loved being at home with my little ones, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband and I had just bought a house, and some unexpected expenses made our budget (预算)tighter than it had ever been.
I got out of bed and pulled on my faded jeans and sneakers that had seen better days. I only had one task on the to-do list for the day. I was going to pick up my kids’ photos from the studio at the local mall. Despite our small budget, it was important for me to have pictures of my children as they were growing up. Since we were going to the mall, I decided to make it an outing and packed some sandwiches for us to eat at the food court.
After breakfast, I put everyone into the car, and off we went. After we parked, I unfolded the double stroller (婴儿车), put in the youngest two kids and asked the oldest to hold onto the stroller.
We wheeled into the studio at the mall, and I approached the counter. The young woman smiled. “May I help you?”
“Yes, I’m here to pick up our photos,” I answered.
The woman asked my name and opened her large drawer. “Schmoyer... Schmoyer... Ah, yes, here they are. Aren’t they just so adorable?” She fanned out the photos and the smiling faces of my kids warmed my heart.
“Yes, they are great. Thank you,” I said.
She put the photos into an envelope for me. Then she spread out additional photos of my kids that I hadn’t ordered. I knew what that meant.
“Would you like to purchase these extra photos? They are only fifteen dollars a piece!” she smiled sweetly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

My face hardened and my heart turned cold.

Just when we started our lunch, I found the woman we had met at the photo studio standing next to our table.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My face hardened and my heart turned cold. “I don’t have fifteen dollars.” I took the photo envelope and walked away, with my cheeks red after my reply. Next, we stopped at the ride-on toy cars in the mall’s food court. There weren’t any other kids there. My kids climbed on them enjoying themselves very much. After a while, we were tired so we unwrapped our lunches that I had brought from home. Although the mall’s food court was near, I didn’t have extra money. It was early for lunch, but we were hungry.
Just when we started our lunch, I found the woman we had met at the photo studio standing next to our table. She said, “Here. Take your family out for ice cream after lunch.” I was surprised. I managed to say “thank you” as she turned and walked away. Then I looked down at what she had given to me. The bills totaled fifteen dollars. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I quietly finished my sandwich. The doubts in my heart melted away and my faith was renewed. Kindness can change someone’s dark moment into a bright one.
