I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes. My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.4．What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Noticed. B．Disagreed. C．Worried. D．Expected.5．What really annoyed the author during the local festival?A．Being a trick target. B．Singing holiday songs.C．Being culturally different. D．Celebrating others’ festival.6．How did the author’s classmates react to Mom’s coming?A．They welcomed it warmly. B．They gave away her treats.C．They showed off themselves. D．They expressed sympathy for her.7．Which of the following best states what Mom did at school?A．She protected her child from being hurt.B．She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.C．She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.D．She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.C（议论文）Opinions differ on the question of whether it is better to live in the city or in the countryside. However, due to the rapid upward trend in house prices in cities, people are increasingly choosing to move to a rural(乡村的) area. Reason enough to take a closer look at the arguments for living in the city and in the country.Living in the city continues to be extremely popular. The proportion of the population living in rural areas has been falling continuously since the middle of the 19th century which was marked by industrialization(工业化). More and more people moved to the cities to find work.Infrastructure is one of the biggest advantages of cities. A well-developed network of public transportation often makes that a car is not absolutely necessary. In the countryside, on the other hand, you almost always need a car to be flexible(灵活的). Related to infrastructure, mobility is also an argument for living in the city. Very often, rural regions are not or only connected to the rail network and also do not have an adequate bus system. In the cities, there is a wide range of entertaining options, from cultural opportunities and other clubs. The latter, however, are increasingly found in the countryside as well. In addition, rural areas offer many options for outdoor activities.The expansion of digital networks is still in its beginnings in some rural regions. Here, the city clearly has the better offer. However, this is set to change, and various research projects and plans to expand digital networks are intended to promote the connection of rural residential areas.；8．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To introduce the main topic.B．To raise readers’ interest.C．To put forward a reason.D．To present different opinions.；9．What resulted in the growth of the population in cities?A．Colorful outdoor activities.B．Low housing prices.C．More job opportunities.D．Strong cultural atmosphere.；10．What is the author’s attitude towards life in the countryside?A．Uncaring. B．Optimistic. C．Doubtful. D．Grateful.；11．What is the text mainly about?A．The means of transportation in the city.B．The similarities between different cultures.C．The advantages of living in the countryside.D．The different views on living in the city or the rural area.D（研究报告）When you’re bored, you might start playing with a ball or other objects. Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too—that’s why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it’s not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too, making them the first insects known to play.In the study, Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona, an insect expert, did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play. Of those, 45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults.A pathway was set up from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled. The other side had the same number of balls, but they were stuck to the floor. Half balls on each side were colored balls. The rest were left unpainted.For three hours a day over 18 days, Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren’t so interested in the side where the balls didn’t move, but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls. Once they managed to roll a ball, they strongly preferred that side. They returned, climbing on the balls and rolling them around. She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls.“There’s something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects,” Galpayage Dona says. In another experiment, she sometimes left the balls out overnight. “When I came in the next day, I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls.” As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones. Their play tapered off as they got older.The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.；12．How does the author introduce the topic?A．By describing the fun of play. B．By analyzing reasons for boredom.C．By introducing similar phenomena. D．By presenting animals’ cute images.；13．What did the researcher do in the experiment?A．She trained bumblebees to play balls.B．She put small balls along the pathway.C．She set up a pathway in bumblebees’ nest.D．She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls.；14．What does the underlined part “tapered off” probably mean in paragraph 5?A．Mattered. B．Helped. C．Decreased. D．Emerged.；15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Bumblebees Prefer Shape to ColorB．Balls Are Bumblebees’ Favorite ToysC．Playing with Objects Is Animals’ Second NatureD．Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play 参考答案DCB CCAB ACBD CBCD
