I'll never forget the day when Mary came into my office and said, I am too old to learn how to use a computer. I shook my head. Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.
Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community( 社区 ),using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.
When she was in her sixties（六十岁）, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.
To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings.
Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old. On the contrary（正相反）, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.
24. When Mary said she was too old to learn, the author________.
A. did not agree with her B. felt sad and decided to help her
C. became disappointed with her D. thought what she had said was true
25. Why did Mary call the author one day in her sixties?
A. To ask him for some help. B. To tell him about her plan
C. To ask him to make a CD. D. To talk about her new CD
26. The author thought it________ for Mary to make a CD.
A. impossible B. interesting C. unnecessary D. difficult
27. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. We should always learn new skills. B. We're never too old to learn.
C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Some people succeed for a reason
C
In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. ＂Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food — I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?＂[来源:学科网ZXXK]
Well, Carlin pretty much has it right — there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries — like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes — is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.
Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence — an experimental psychologist from Oxford University — points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching — green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red..
But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially（人工地）. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes — while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?
28. George Carlin’s words are placed （放置）at the beginning of the passage to ___________.
A. show the author’s opinion B. tell a famous person
C. lead in the topic D. introduce a TV show
29. Which of the following statements of blue is true?
A. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.
B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.
C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.
D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.
30. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ______________.
A. our taste experience can be influenced by color
B. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods
C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods
D. before eating, people watch food for a long time
31.The underlined words ＂is dyed＂ in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to ＂_____＂.
A. is eaten up B. has grown up C. is harmful to D. is changed in color
D

After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls, he finally chose a nice black one that cost $5,000. He paid for the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler and left.
A few days later, the man returned and said his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler replied, “I would say it’s nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl. I’m afraid I can’t make you satisfied.”
The rich man asked the jeweler to advertise（登广告） in the newspapers. “I will offer $25,000 for the matching pearl if you can find one.” Many people answered the ad, but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his shop. To his surprise, she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag. “I don’t like to sell it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited from hers. But now I really need the money.”

【答案】21.D 22.D 23.A
【解析】这是一篇应用文。主要推荐了一个放松我们自己的地方。
21.主旨大意题。根据文章标题 Bored? Lonely? Out of condition? Why not try the SPORTS CENTER? 可知，文章主要介绍了一个放松自己的地方，即 SPORTS CENTER。故D项正确。
22.细节理解题。根据文章小标题 SWIMMING 下第二、三段 Women: Tuesday and Thursday. Men: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 可知，女士和男士在不同的时间游泳。由此可推知女士和男士是分开游泳的。故D项正确。
23.细节理解题。根据文章小标题 TENNIS SKIING SWIMMING GOLF GYMNASTICS 和 AND MANY MORE下第一段中 Table Tennis, Snooker (台球), Darts (标枪) 可知，文章一共提到的运动项目有：网球、滑雪、游泳、高尔夫、体操、兵乓球、台球和标枪，即一共8种。故选A。
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.D 27.B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要表达了"活到老，学到老"的思想。通过描述玛丽的故事证实这个中心思想，刚开始玛丽认为自己太老了而不能去学电脑，作者告诉她学无止境，玛丽听从了作者的建议，最终学会了很多东西，甚至制作自己的CD。最后作者都为玛丽的转变感到惊喜。只要你相信你可以，你就可以完成那些事情。
24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句 I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn. 可知，作者认为活到老学到老。故作者不同意 Mary 的年纪大了不能学习的观念。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句 When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. 可知，Mary 打电话给作者是为了告诉作者她现在正准备为自己做一份CD。Mary 说了她今后的打算。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句 You can imagine my surprise and delight. 可知，听到 Mary 要做一张 CD 的消息，作者是惊讶和高兴的。为 Mary 的勇气和决心而感到高兴，同时又觉得这个计划具有挑战性，有些意外。根据第四段To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权),and learn about marketing.故作者认为做一张 CD 的计划有难度。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了在作者的鼓励下，一位老人继续尝试学习新的事物并取得成功的实例，以此告诉读者，保持终身学习的习惯，这样你的人生会取得不小的成就。根据文章最后一段最后一句 On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can. 可知，活到老学到老，这样就能获得你想要的成功。故作者想告诉读者，活到老学到老这一观点。故选B。
主旨大意题主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。
（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
例如文章的第4小题，此题属于主旨大意中的（2）一一主旨类。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。文章主要介绍了在作者的鼓励下，一位老人继续尝试学习新的事物并取得成功的实例，以此告诉读者，保持终身学习的习惯，这样你的人生会取得不小的成就。根据文章最后一句 On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can. 可知，活到老学到老，这样就能获得你想要的成功。故作者想告诉读者，活到老学到老这一观点。故选B。
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.A 31.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，通过对科学实验结果和人们饮食习惯的分析，介绍了日常饮食中蓝色食物很少见的原因。
28.推理判断题。文章首段George Carlin所说“Why is there no blue food?...”是为了引入文章主题，即：为什么生活中蓝色食物很少见。故选C。
29.细节理解题。该题考查对第二段细节内容的理解程度。根据第二段中“Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam.”可知选项B错误；根据第二段中“The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature.”可知选项A错误。选项D的内容文中并未提及，根据Why is there no blue food?及文章内容可知生活中蓝色食物很少，故该题正确选项是C。
30.细节理解题。该题考查对第三段的细节理解程度。根据第三段中“we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour.”可知，选项C错误。选项B是对“not hot”的错误理解，因此是错的。根据“human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching”是指人类的饮食经历受长时间观察食物生长经验的影响，而不是说吃东西之前要观察很久，因此选项D错误。根据“that color can change our taste experience”，可知该题正确选项是A。
31.词义猜测题。根据第三段结尾处“green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.”和后面“But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we encounter these days is dyed blue artificially.”可知，前文说食物生长过程中改变颜色，转折词“But”表示转折，“artificially”意为“人工地”，可知“is dyed”意为“被染色”，故选D。
猜测词义题。阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。做这种类型的题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境来判断其意义。我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。如第四小题，根据第三段结尾处“green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.”和后面“But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we encounter these days is dyed blue artificially.”可知，前文说食物生长过程中改变颜色，转折词“But”表示转折，“artificially”意为“人工地”，可知“is dyed”意为“被染色”，故该题正确选项是D。
【答案】32.A 33.C 34.D 35.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了阿根廷的三个节日：探戈节、马球公开赛和Semana Musical Llao Llao古典音乐节。
32.主旨大意题。从文中的第一段第一句话“There are many festivals in Argentina(阿根廷) during the year. ”中可知这篇文章主要讲阿根廷的节日。所以答案选A。

The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables…. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season.( 传统上，感恩节是家人和朋友聚在一起吃一顿特别大餐的日子。这顿饭通常包括火鸡、填料、土豆、蔓越莓酱、肉汁、南瓜派和蔬菜。与此同时，剩下的，最初是为了感谢上帝的丰收和健康。感恩节当天或前后，一些城镇会举行感恩节游行。一些游行或庆祝活动也标志着圣诞购物季节的开始。)”可知，该段主要讲述了感恩节的一些家庭活动和公众活动。选项B“The Day Celebrations.”贴合本段中心话题。故选B项。
【37题详解】

Many offices and businesses allow staff to have a four-day weekend so these offices and businesses are also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day.(大多数政府机关、企业、学校和其他组织都在感恩节这天休息。许多办公室和企业允许员工有四天的周末，所以这些办公室和企业也在感恩节后的星期五休息。)”提及了政府部门和商业，因此设空句应与此呼应，提及“公共事业”的一部分，比如公共交通。选项G“Public transportation systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables.(公共交通系统通常不按其固定的时间表运行。)”符合语境分析。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Thanksgiving Day is one of the busiest periods for travel in the USA.”可知，感恩节是美国交通最繁忙的时期之一，因此设空句应涉及“交通拥堵”话题。选项E“This can lead to congestion and overcrowding.(这可能会导致拥挤和过度拥挤。)”中“This”指代前文内容，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。

Hi Worried，
I'm sorry to know that you're having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong，so you don't have to worry much. The most important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret. Here are three useful tips：
First，talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second，go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third，remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours ，
Jamie

One possible version：
【答案】Para 1:
When the jeweler heard it, he got excited. After a careful examination, he was sure it was almost the same as the one he sold to the rich man. The jeweler could hardly hide his excitement, trying not to show it. The jeweler made several offers before the old lady would change her mind, but couldn’t satisfy her. At last the jeweler said, “For the last time I’ll offer $10,000 for the pearl.” The lady still hesitated but finally agreed because she really needed the money.
Para 2:
The jeweler finally bought the pearl and then called the hotel where the rich man stayed. Eager to tell the rich man the good news, he waited for the hotel to get him through to the rich man. He also imagined earning more money from the rich man. However, he was told the rich man had already checked out the day before, nowhere to be found. The jeweler immediately understood the whole thing. The rich man and the old lady had cheated him of his money together and had run away.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天，一个富人来到珠宝店买了一颗珍珠作为妻子的生日礼物，几天后再次回到商店，说想再要一颗一模一样的珍珠。刊登广告后，一位矮小的老妇人来到店里提出要卖珍珠，于是珠宝商高价买下了珍珠，结果最后发现是被富人和老妇人骗了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“珠宝商听到后，很兴奋。”可知，第一段可描写珠宝商买下珍珠的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“珠宝商最终买下了这颗珍珠，然后打电话给富人住过的旅馆。”可知，第二段可描写珠宝商发现被骗的经过。

I'll never forget the day when Mary came into my office and said, I am too old to learn how to use a computer. I shook my head. Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.
Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community( 社区 ),using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.
When she was in her sixties（六十岁）, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.
To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings.
Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old. On the contrary（正相反）, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.
24. When Mary said she was too old to learn, the author________.
A. did not agree with her B. felt sad and decided to help her
C. became disappointed with her D. thought what she had said was true
25. Why did Mary call the author one day in her sixties?
A. To ask him for some help. B. To tell him about her plan
C. To ask him to make a CD. D. To talk about her new CD
26. The author thought it________ for Mary to make a CD.
A. impossible B. interesting C. unnecessary D. difficult
27. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. We should always learn new skills. B. We're never too old to learn.
C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Some people succeed for a reason
C
In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. ＂Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food — I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?＂[来源:学科网ZXXK]
Well, Carlin pretty much has it right — there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries — like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes — is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.
Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence — an experimental psychologist from Oxford University — points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching — green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red..
But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially（人工地）. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes — while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?
28. George Carlin’s words are placed （放置）at the beginning of the passage to ___________.
A. show the author’s opinion B. tell a famous person
C. lead in the topic D. introduce a TV show
29. Which of the following statements of blue is true?
A. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.
B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.
C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.
D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.
30. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ______________.
A. our taste experience can be influenced by color
B. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods
C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods
D. before eating, people watch food for a long time
31.The underlined words ＂is dyed＂ in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to ＂_____＂.
A. is eaten up B. has grown up C. is harmful to D. is changed in color
D

第二节 读后续写 (满分 25 分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, a man, well-dressed, came into a famous jewelry(珠宝) shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl（珍珠） for his wife’s birthday and that the price didn’t matter because his business had been well run by him that year. After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls, he finally chose a nice black one that cost $5,000. He paid for the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler and left.
A few days later, the man returned and said his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler replied, “I would say it’s nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl. I’m afraid I can’t make you satisfied.”
The rich man asked the jeweler to advertise（登广告） in the newspapers. “I will offer $25,000 for the matching pearl if you can find one.” Many people answered the ad, but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his shop. To his surprise, she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag. “I don’t like to sell it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited from hers. But now I really need the money.”

【答案】21.D 22.D 23.A
【解析】这是一篇应用文。主要推荐了一个放松我们自己的地方。
21.主旨大意题。根据文章标题 Bored? Lonely? Out of condition? Why not try the SPORTS CENTER? 可知，文章主要介绍了一个放松自己的地方，即 SPORTS CENTER。故D项正确。
22.细节理解题。根据文章小标题 SWIMMING 下第二、三段 Women: Tuesday and Thursday. Men: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 可知，女士和男士在不同的时间游泳。由此可推知女士和男士是分开游泳的。故D项正确。
23.细节理解题。根据文章小标题 TENNIS SKIING SWIMMING GOLF GYMNASTICS 和 AND MANY MORE下第一段中 Table Tennis, Snooker (台球), Darts (标枪) 可知，文章一共提到的运动项目有：网球、滑雪、游泳、高尔夫、体操、兵乓球、台球和标枪，即一共8种。故选A。
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.D 27.B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要表达了"活到老，学到老"的思想。通过描述玛丽的故事证实这个中心思想，刚开始玛丽认为自己太老了而不能去学电脑，作者告诉她学无止境，玛丽听从了作者的建议，最终学会了很多东西，甚至制作自己的CD。最后作者都为玛丽的转变感到惊喜。只要你相信你可以，你就可以完成那些事情。
24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句 I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn. 可知，作者认为活到老学到老。故作者不同意 Mary 的年纪大了不能学习的观念。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句 When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. 可知，Mary 打电话给作者是为了告诉作者她现在正准备为自己做一份CD。Mary 说了她今后的打算。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句 You can imagine my surprise and delight. 可知，听到 Mary 要做一张 CD 的消息，作者是惊讶和高兴的。为 Mary 的勇气和决心而感到高兴，同时又觉得这个计划具有挑战性，有些意外。根据第四段To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权),and learn about marketing.故作者认为做一张 CD 的计划有难度。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了在作者的鼓励下，一位老人继续尝试学习新的事物并取得成功的实例，以此告诉读者，保持终身学习的习惯，这样你的人生会取得不小的成就。根据文章最后一段最后一句 On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can. 可知，活到老学到老，这样就能获得你想要的成功。故作者想告诉读者，活到老学到老这一观点。故选B。
主旨大意题主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。
（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
例如文章的第4小题，此题属于主旨大意中的（2）一一主旨类。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。文章主要介绍了在作者的鼓励下，一位老人继续尝试学习新的事物并取得成功的实例，以此告诉读者，保持终身学习的习惯，这样你的人生会取得不小的成就。根据文章最后一句 On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can. 可知，活到老学到老，这样就能获得你想要的成功。故作者想告诉读者，活到老学到老这一观点。故选B。
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.A 31.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，通过对科学实验结果和人们饮食习惯的分析，介绍了日常饮食中蓝色食物很少见的原因。
28.推理判断题。文章首段George Carlin所说“Why is there no blue food?...”是为了引入文章主题，即：为什么生活中蓝色食物很少见。故选C。
29.细节理解题。该题考查对第二段细节内容的理解程度。根据第二段中“Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam.”可知选项B错误；根据第二段中“The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature.”可知选项A错误。选项D的内容文中并未提及，根据Why is there no blue food?及文章内容可知生活中蓝色食物很少，故该题正确选项是C。
30.细节理解题。该题考查对第三段的细节理解程度。根据第三段中“we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour.”可知，选项C错误。选项B是对“not hot”的错误理解，因此是错的。根据“human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching”是指人类的饮食经历受长时间观察食物生长经验的影响，而不是说吃东西之前要观察很久，因此选项D错误。根据“that color can change our taste experience”，可知该题正确选项是A。
31.词义猜测题。根据第三段结尾处“green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.”和后面“But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we encounter these days is dyed blue artificially.”可知，前文说食物生长过程中改变颜色，转折词“But”表示转折，“artificially”意为“人工地”，可知“is dyed”意为“被染色”，故选D。
猜测词义题。阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。做这种类型的题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境来判断其意义。我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。如第四小题，根据第三段结尾处“green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.”和后面“But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we encounter these days is dyed blue artificially.”可知，前文说食物生长过程中改变颜色，转折词“But”表示转折，“artificially”意为“人工地”，可知“is dyed”意为“被染色”，故该题正确选项是D。
【答案】32.A 33.C 34.D 35.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了阿根廷的三个节日：探戈节、马球公开赛和Semana Musical Llao Llao古典音乐节。
32.主旨大意题。从文中的第一段第一句话“There are many festivals in Argentina(阿根廷) during the year. ”中可知这篇文章主要讲阿根廷的节日。所以答案选A。
33.细节理解题。从文中的第一段最后一句话“Even if you cannot dance perfectly, you should join the people and try to perform this dance.”可知即便是你跳不好，也可以参加。故选C，欢迎每个人都参加。
34.细节理解题。从文中第二段的第一句话“The next festival in Argentina is Open Polo Tournament.（阿根廷的下一个节日是马球公开赛。）”和第三句话“This kind of sport is considered the most important in Argentina.（这种运动在阿根廷被认为是最重要的。）”可知马球公开赛是体育节。故选D。
35.细节理解题。从倒数第二段中“The festival was created in 1993 and is held at the Llao Llao Hotel, near Bariloche. The festival is held yearly in October. （该节日创建于1993年，在巴利洛什附近的老劳酒店举行。这个节日每年10月举行。）”可知如果汤姆想在阿根廷欣赏古典音乐，他应该在10月份去巴利洛什。故选C。
七选五：【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. E 40. D（每题2.5分，共12.5分）
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“感恩节”为话题，讲述了在感恩节时家庭和公众的庆祝方式，感恩节对公共生活的影响，以及历史上发生的有关感恩节的重大事件。
【36题详解】
设空为本段小标题，应是该段中心话题。根据后文“Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables…. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season.( 传统上，感恩节是家人和朋友聚在一起吃一顿特别大餐的日子。这顿饭通常包括火鸡、填料、土豆、蔓越莓酱、肉汁、南瓜派和蔬菜。与此同时，剩下的，最初是为了感谢上帝的丰收和健康。感恩节当天或前后，一些城镇会举行感恩节游行。一些游行或庆祝活动也标志着圣诞购物季节的开始。)”可知，该段主要讲述了感恩节的一些家庭活动和公众活动。选项B“The Day Celebrations.”贴合本段中心话题。故选B项。
【37题详解】
设空在段中，根据后文“originally to give thanks to God for the harvest and health(最初是为了感谢上帝的丰收和健康)”提及感恩节的最初由来，因此可推知，设空句应提及这个节日对于大众的意义，选项F“Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.(感恩节是许多人感谢他们所拥有的东西的日子。)”提到了大众意义：感谢，符合语境搭配。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据该部分主题“Public Life”可知，该部分讲述了感恩节时的公共生活，设空句应涉及“公共”核心词汇，结合前文“Most government offices, businesses, schools and other organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Many offices and businesses allow staff to have a four-day weekend so these offices and businesses are also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day.(大多数政府机关、企业、学校和其他组织都在感恩节这天休息。许多办公室和企业允许员工有四天的周末，所以这些办公室和企业也在感恩节后的星期五休息。)”提及了政府部门和商业，因此设空句应与此呼应，提及“公共事业”的一部分，比如公共交通。选项G“Public transportation systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables.(公共交通系统通常不按其固定的时间表运行。)”符合语境分析。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Thanksgiving Day is one of the busiest periods for travel in the USA.”可知，感恩节是美国交通最繁忙的时期之一，因此设空句应涉及“交通拥堵”话题。选项E“This can lead to congestion and overcrowding.(这可能会导致拥挤和过度拥挤。)”中“This”指代前文内容，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“There are claims that the first Thanksgiving Day was held in the city of El Paso, Texas.(据说第一个感恩节是在德克萨斯州的埃尔帕索市举行的。)”可知，本段在讲述发生在历史上的有关感恩节的重大事件，设空句应与此主题有关。选项D“Another influential event was held in 1619 in the Virginia Colony.(另一个有影响的事件是1619年在弗吉尼亚殖民地举行的。)”符合该段主题，且与后文提及的时间“1621”，“1623”，和“1789”，在时间上与前后文形成“时间先后”关系。故选D项。

五．书面表达(共两节；共40分)
第一节:应用文写作（满分15分）
Hi Worried，
I'm sorry to know that you're having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong，so you don't have to worry much. The most important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret. Here are three useful tips：
First，talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second，go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third，remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours ，
Jamie

One possible version：
【答案】Para 1:
When the jeweler heard it, he got excited. After a careful examination, he was sure it was almost the same as the one he sold to the rich man. The jeweler could hardly hide his excitement, trying not to show it. The jeweler made several offers before the old lady would change her mind, but couldn’t satisfy her. At last the jeweler said, “For the last time I’ll offer $10,000 for the pearl.” The lady still hesitated but finally agreed because she really needed the money.
Para 2:
The jeweler finally bought the pearl and then called the hotel where the rich man stayed. Eager to tell the rich man the good news, he waited for the hotel to get him through to the rich man. He also imagined earning more money from the rich man. However, he was told the rich man had already checked out the day before, nowhere to be found. The jeweler immediately understood the whole thing. The rich man and the old lady had cheated him of his money together and had run away.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天，一个富人来到珠宝店买了一颗珍珠作为妻子的生日礼物，几天后再次回到商店，说想再要一颗一模一样的珍珠。刊登广告后，一位矮小的老妇人来到店里提出要卖珍珠，于是珠宝商高价买下了珍珠，结果最后发现是被富人和老妇人骗了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
