阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?
Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.
Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller portions(份额)in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
Develop the habit of packing food
Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.
Don’t put it off! Let’s stop food waste today!
21. Why is our nation being encouraged to stop wasting food?
A. Because there’s not enough food for people.
B. Because Chinese consumers are fond of trying delicious food.

One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path.Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone!He didn’t have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow.If he didn’t,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water.Not knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn’t find anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often watched Grylls’survival show Man vs.Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode of Man vs.Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’amazing deeds,he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
24.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges,setbacks and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering,the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up.But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It’s the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little“dead”inside because you’re dropping“you”.
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop,it’s just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mindand you’ll be on your way.
28.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should .
A.live a simple life
B.take carefully when we choose to change
C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be content with what we already have
29.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A.To concentrate on every detail.
B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us.
D.To think twice before we act.
30.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.Far away from your punishment.
B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension.
D.Reduction of your expectations.
31.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.It’s easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.
C.It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
D
Plastic surgery is not only popular in the US, but is also sweeping across Asia. It is reported that South Korea is now the world’s largest market for plastic surgery.
In order to change their looks, 20 percent of women aged between 19 and 49 in Seoul said they had gone under the knife. The growth of South Korea’s pop music industry increases the popularity. Many patients visit clinics with photos of singers, asking doctors to copy their noses or eyes.
Joo Kwon, who founded one of the largest clinics in Seoul, recently opened a hotel to better serve customers. People will spend about US $17, 675 in a single visit. An increasing number of clients are non-Koreans, from China, Japan, the Middle East and even Africa. Leaders in South Korea say that this will help the Korean economy.
However, Mr Kwon warned that young people should be careful when seeking such operations. “I think South Korea doesn’t understand the word“beauty”, because everyone looks pretty much the same. It is also related to low self-confidence. I think the situation will somewhat become better in future as the society becomes more different. But it will take quite a bit of time until we get there, ”he told reporters.
Last year, a booklet was given out to Korean high school students by the government. There is a story that a local woman who was crazy about plastic surgery ended up with an ugly face.
32. What is the main cause of the increase in plastic surgery in South Korea?
A. The decreasing understanding of beauty.
B. The rising number of clinics.
C. The rise of the pop music industry.
D. The rise of the Korean economy.
33. What is Mr Kwon’s attitude toward plastic surgery?
A. Hewants to have a try.
B. He is strongly against it.
C. He is not interested in it.
D. He is objective about it.
34. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______ .
A. plastic surgery is not bad for people’s health
B. high school students are encouraged to have plastic surgery
C. high school students in South Korea are fond of plastic surgery
D. plastic surgery is supported by the government
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How to make plastic surgery.
B. Why women have plastic surgery.
C. The famous singers in South Korea.
D. Rapid growth of plastic surgery in South Korea.

Teamwork is the ability to work together with other team members toward a common goal. 36 Many factors influence the working of a team. If a team can’t get the desired results, try the following ways that would help improve teamwork.
Planning goals ahead: 37 When a goal is planned, all team members should be clear about their goals they have to achieve and then they should find a way that would lead them to achieve their goals.
Appointing team leader: A team is led by the team leader. 38 It is the leader’s responsibility to resolve the conflicts(冲突)caused by different characters and attitudes.
Maintaining good relationship between team members: Teamwork needs cooperation. 39 So it would also be great if the team members can communicate outside the workplace to know each other more. This will help increase a sense of togetherness at work, thus improving teamwork.
Avoiding inter-group(内部的)competition: Competition is important for a person’s growth. 40 One should understand that each person has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Rather than compete with each other in the team, one should learn from others and improve one’s performance.
A. It would be good for their cooperation if the members know each other well.
B. The goals should be easy enough to achieve.
C. The ability can help common people achieve uncommon goals.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Life passes, with us all, a day at a time; so it passed with our friend Tom, till two years were gone. Though parted from all his soul held dear, and though often yearning for what lay beyond, still was he never positively and consciously miserable; for, so well is the harp of human feeling strung, that nothing but a crash that breaks every string can wholly mar its harmony; and, on looking back to seasons which in review appear to us as those of deprivation and trial, we can remember that each hour, as it glided, brought its diversions and alleviations, so that, though not happy wholly, we were not, either, wholly miserable.
Tom read, in his only literary cabinet, of one who had "learned in whatsoever state he was, therewith to be content." It seemed to him good and reasonable doctrine, and accorded well with the settled and thoughtful habit which he had acquired from the reading of that same book.
His letter homeward, as we related in the last chapter, was in due time answered by Master George, in a good, round, school-boy hand, that Tom said might be read "most acrost the room." It contained various refreshing items of home intelligence, with which our reader is fully acquainted: stated how Aunt Chloe had been hired out to a confectioner in Louisville, where her skill in the pastry line was gaining wonderful sums of money, all of which, Tom was informed, was to be laid up to go to make up the sum of his redemption money; Mose and Pete were thriving, and the baby was trotting all about the house, under the care of Sally and the family generally.
Tom's cabin was shut up for the present; but George expatiated brilliantly on ornaments and additions to be made to it when Tom came back.
