Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June every year.We all know that Father’s Day is a festival on which sons and daughters will show their love and respect to their fathers.On that day,children will choose a gift for their fathers no matter how busy they are.Then all the family members will get together to have a delicious dinner to celebrate Father’s Day.Some children,especially those who are working far away from home,may post a card with best wishes to their fathers.Sometimes,they can make a telephone call to send their best regards.
In my opinion,in whatever way we celebrate Father’s Day,our fathers will be pleased and very satisfied with it.I usually choose a card or a smart gift for my father,and my father is to be moved when I present it to him on that day.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　The craziest Food Festival sounds like a joke topic,but once you start looking into it,you’ll realise they’re everywhere—the crazier,the better.
The Bibimbap Festival
In Korea,their “mixed rice”dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef,a rainbow of vegetables,a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much.They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music,entertainment and magic,but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
The Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well,it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii,along with a grass skirt and garland (花环).The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam,a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
The Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time,for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) —15,000 eggs strong—for the townsfolk (市民).
The Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville,Minnesota,the US.Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests,as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.

A.They spend four days celebrating it.
B.The mixed rice is rich in many vegetables.
C.There’s music,entertainment and magic during the festival.

答案及剖析:
1.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据Bibimbap Festival部分中的“but making it that little bit different is...dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people”可知,选D。
2.A　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据Waikiki Spam Jam部分中的“Well,it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii,along with a grass skirt and garland(花环).”可知,午餐肉是夏威夷人最喜欢的食物。
3.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据Potato Days Festival部分中的“Over the last Friday and Saturday in August...contests”可知,如果在八月有时间,你可以去巴恩斯维尔镇举办的土豆节。
B

The Chongyang Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar,so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn,at harvest-time.The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain,carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气),and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in the Han Dynasty,about 2,000 years ago,people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival.For many,it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved (发展成) into present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”,a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”.Mountains are high,so eating cakes can,by a stretch of the imagination,take the place of going for a climb.
4.Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on the Chongyang Festival?
A.Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.
B.Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.
C.Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.
D.Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill.
5.People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival 　　　. 
A.to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter
B.to get some dogwoods
C.to climb a high platform
D.to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery
6.People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because 　　　. 
A.the Chinese word for “cake”is “Gao”
B.the Chinese word “Gao”for “cake”has the same sound with the Chinese word for “high”
C.they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival
D.they like eating cakes
7.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th.
B.People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the Han Dynasty.
C.People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air.
D.Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了重阳节的时间、历史起源、命名及人们的庆祝方式。阅读本文,有利于丰富学生的文化知识,培养其传承文化的意识。
答案及剖析:
4.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第三段简要介绍了茱萸这种植物,它具有浓郁的香气,可以用作中草药,但是这些都不是重阳节人们携带茱萸的原因,而“People in ancient times believed it could drive away...chill(寒意) in late autumn.”说的才是这一风俗产生的原因。故选D。
5.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第四段最后提到重阳节的风俗发展成了现在的形式,在这一天人们爬山锻炼身体,同时欣赏秋天的风景。故选D。
6.B　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。最后一段讲的是平原地区的人们过重阳节的习俗。他们远离大山,无法登高。由于在汉语中,“糕”与“高”同音,他们用吃糕的方式过重阳节。故选B。
7.C　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。重阳节是中国农历的九月初九并不是阳历9月9日;汉朝时人们只是登上高地,并不一定是爬山;吃糕点只是寓意爬山,并不是说明两种活动相像;在第二段则提到了“The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for...traditional activities of the festival.”。故选C。

M:Well,I have been drawing for a long time—about ten years.I loved to look at pictures and photographs when I was a child.As I got older,I decided to make pictures myself.And I started painting two years ago.
W:I see.Did you take art classes or teach yourself?
M:I didn’t take any art classes until last year.I’ve been taking a college class for a year about the great painters throughout history.I want to learn from them and their paintings.I want to improve my skills and become a better painter.
W:That’s a good idea.I like to write stories,so I took a college class about writing.It definitely made me a much better writer.By the way,would you like to read my books?
M:Sounds great.Shall we show each other our works tomorrow?
W:I can’t wait!
(Text 10)
M:First,I’d like to thank everyone for coming tonight.It is so nice to have everyone here to celebrate this special day with me.I’d also like to thank my good friend David Arnold for organizing this wonderful party.My 20 years working at the university have been some of the happiest years of my life.I have been so lucky to have worked with so many good people.I am very happy that Anne Sharp will be taking over my position.She is a very experienced teacher,and I am encouraged to see she has such passion for this important job.I’d also like to congratulate her for getting married.Anne,I wish you a long and happy life,and I hope you enjoy your honeymoon in Australia.Finally,I’d like to thank Craig Anderson.It was he who had convinced me to work here,otherwise I would have become a fireman.So what will I do with myself now?As you know,I have a love for languages.I already speak Spanish,so my next wish is to learn Chinese.My wife and I will be going to China this summer,so we’ll see.Once again,thank you,everyone.I will truly miss you all.

The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world.In Britain,people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away,and to welcome in the new one at midnight.Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend,
girlfriend or even a complete stranger) as the bells ring out at midnight.
In recent years,street parties have become more popular.Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares,main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous firework displays.
For people who stay at home,most watch special,live New Year shows on TV and countdown,along with the presenters,from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland,on New Year’s Eve,people visit their neighbours and drink,dance and generally have a good time.If you’re invited to a Scottish home,it’s important to know what to bring with you:a lump of coal,some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year.The shortbread represents food,so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year.Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”,so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts,it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can.The first person to knock on a neighbour’s door is supposed to be a tall,dark,handsome man.If you are,you’ll bring good luck to the household.But what if that’s not you? Well,
don’t ring the bell just yet.Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!
24.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Seeing the Old Year Off in Britain
B.Celebrations of the New Year in Britain
C.Visiting Scottish Homes in New Year
D.Sending Good Luck in the New Year
25.We know from the passage 　　　.

B.street concerts have become more popular on New Year’s Eve
C.British people let off fireworks in public places to celebrate the New Year
D.people stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bells of the New Year to ring
26.Why do visitors take some things to a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve?
A.To share good food and warmth.
B.To help those poor families.
C.To send best wishes to the families.
D.To show respect and richness.

　　　.

25.C　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段可知,人们举行街道晩会庆祝新年,除了欣赏乐队演奏外,还可以欣赏烟花。由此可知,人们会在公共场合燃放烟花以示庆祝。故选C。

It’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer.Pretty soon,they could be making your bed and breakfast,too.
Increasingly,engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home.Companies including General Electric are working on designs for small robots.Products like the Roomba,a robot that can clean floors,are flying off the shelves.
What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology.Devices that can recognise and respond to a human voice have been developed.There are now a few different ways for robots to move around.They can walk,crawl or ride on wheels.Robots are being made smaller and smaller.They are also becoming more and more able.
A bigger part of the story is on the demand side.From the day the television remote control was invented,people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy.Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots,and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.
To be sure,robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off.However,robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon.One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes,things will change forever.
28.The underlined part “flying off the shelves”in the second paragraph means 　　　. 
A.selling well
B.cleaning the shelves smartly
C.flying freely
D.dropping onto the floor
29.What can Roomba do?
A.Making beds and breakfast.
B.Making cars and computers.
C.Cleaning floors.
D.Looking after kids and pets.
30.Which plays a more important role in revolutionizing the robot?
A.Science and technology.
B.Rapid development of companies.
C.Effective marketing means.
D.Great demand from the buyers.
31.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Robots have already come into every home.
B.Technology is the only basis of the development of robots.
C.General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.
D.Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us.
语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人的最新发展动态。随着社会的需求及科技的发展,做家务的机器人有望很快上市。阅读本文,有利于增强学生对科技发展与信息技术创新的关注。
答案及剖析:
28.A　词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测短语意义的能力。画线短语所在句子的主语是Products like the Roomba (像Roomba这样的产品),是举例。段落中的举例总是为证明段落中心句而存在的。根据本段首句“Increasingly,engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home.”可知,本段主要讲机器人将进入家庭。所以可推知画线短语flying off the shelves(飞离货架)的意思为:极其畅销。故选A。
29.C　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第二段中的“Products like the Roomba,a robot that can clean floors (像Roomba这样的产品,是能清扫地面的机器人)”可知,Roomba可以清扫地面。故选C。
30.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由文章第三段首句
“What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology.”及第四段首句“A bigger part of the story is on the demand side.(更大一部分是需求。)”可知,机器人改革中起更大作用的是消费者的大量需求。故选D。
31.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由最后一段中的“To be sure,robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off.”可知,能用两条腿走路、像人一样说话的机器人离我们还很远。故选D。
D
We have to admit that reading is not a pleasant thing at school.Reading is not based on a child’s interests,but to cope with tests.When children are little,we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they “know”all the words they are reading.This means that when they don’t know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day,I said to them,“Now,I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for fun.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not to ask you what words mean.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that’s enough for me.”
The children sat shocked and silent.Was this a teacher talking? One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,“Mr Holt,do you really mean that?”I said just as seriously,“I mean every word of it.”
Later,she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸).I said,“Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?”She answered,“Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading should be.Let the students make their own decisions,find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it and go on to something else.
32.What did the teacher tell his students to read for?
A.For pleasure.
B.For knowledge.
C.For a larger vocabulary.
D.For higher scores in exams.
33.On hearing the teacher’s talk,how did the children probably feel?
A.Stupid.
B.Unreasonable.
C.Understandable.
D.Too good to be true.
34.What can we learn from the girl?
A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She turned out to be a top student through reading.
C.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
D.She learnt to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
35.What is the teacher’s point of view in the passage?
A.Reading requires teachers’guidance.
B.Reading helps students do well in school.
C.Children should be left to decide what to read.
D.Children cannot tell good parts from bad ones.
语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者要求学生们为了乐趣读书的故事。阅读本文,有利于培养学生热爱读书、热爱学习的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.A　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第二段中的“Now,I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for fun.”可知,老师告诉学生读书是为了乐趣。故选A。
33.D　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章第一段中的“After having taught fifth-grade classes...read oftener and more adventurously.”和第二段中的“Now,I would like you to read...read them only for fun.”以及第三段中的“The children sat shocked and silent.Was this a teacher talking?”可推断,听到老师的话,孩子们可能觉得老师让他们为了乐趣读书的做法好到令人难以置信。故选D。
34.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章倒数第二段中的“I said,‘Don’t you find...go on to the next good part.’”可知,女孩学会了欣赏难懂书籍的某些部分。故选D。
35.C　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据文章最后一段可推断,文章中老师认为应该让孩子们自己决定读什么。故选C。

The Chongyang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month,which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.36.　　　. 
Climbing mountains
People like to climb mountains on this festival,so the Double Ninth Festival is also called “Mountain-climbing Festival”.
The 9th lunar month,with clear autumn sky and bracing air,is a good time for sightseeing.37.　　　.It is really refreshing to climb mountains and enjoy the beauty of nature at this bright and clear time in autumn. 
Climbing mountains also indicates “climbing to a higher position”.Another reason why climbing mountains is valued by people,especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of “climbing to a longevous life”.Climbing mountains on Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.38.　　　.

The chrysanthemum flower wine is unique in brewing.In ancient times,people usually picked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th of the 9th lunar month,and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine.39.　　　.The wine is said to have wholesome effects on sharpness of the eye,drop of high blood pressure,reduction of weight and removal of stomach trouble,thus contributing to longevity. 
40.

答案及剖析:
36.F　考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据前句“The Chong-yang Festivalis celebrated...known as the Double Ninth Festival.”可知,本文介绍了重阳节,所以下面应该是介绍重阳节的一些习俗。故选F。
37.D　考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据上文“The 9th lunar month,with clear autumn sky and bracing air,is a good time for sightseeing.”可知,农历九月秋高气爽,空气清新,是观光的好时节。抓住关键词sightseeing,后面也涉及了sightseeing,所以人们喜欢这个月去观光。故选D。
38.C　考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据前文“Climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.”可知,重阳节登山在唐代就已经流行了。后面要说到流行的证据也就是很多诗都是关于这一习俗的。故选C。
39.E　考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据前文“In ancient times,people usually picked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th of the 9th lunar month,and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine.”可知,在古代,人们通常在农历九月初九采摘新鲜的菊花及其叶子,然后把它们和谷物混合到酒里。接下来要介绍菊花酒的酿造,且要到来年的这一天,才拿出来喝。故选E。
40.A　考查学生理解段落大意和识别段落主旨句的能力。根据下文“The Double Ninth cake is also known as ‘flower cake’.”可知,这一部分主要介绍了重阳糕这一食物。故选A。

笑话。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了哈尔滨国际冰雪节。阅读本文,有利于丰富学生文化知识,培养其文化意识。
答案及剖析:
56.has become　考查时态和主谓一致。so far表明用现在完成时,主语为It,故填has become。
57.What　考查主语从句。此处为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示“……的事物”,故填What。
58.competition　考查名词。and表示并列相同成分,此处与festival并列,故填名词competition。
59.increasing　考查非谓语动词。keep doing表示“继续或持续做”,故填increasing。
60.astonishing　考查形容词。此处修饰物,用-ing结尾的形容词,表示“令人……的”,故填astonishing。
61.officially　考查副词。此处修饰谓语动词应用副词,故填officially。
62.on/upon　考查介词。固定搭配depend on/upon表示“依靠,取决于”,故填on/upon。
63.are loved　考查时态和语态。文章基础时态为一般现在时;此处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,that指代“ice lanterns,magical figures and animals”,与love之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are loved。
64.aimed　考查非谓语动词。an ice world与aim之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填aimed。
65.the　考查冠词。此处特指哈尔滨国际冰雪节,故填the。

Violet’s somersaults.“Tilly!”called Tilly’s instructor,Miss Brooke,from across the room.“Your turn to do somersaults.”Tilly walked nervously.She bent down to start a somersault.When she rolled,she fell heavily on the blanket.Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.

One possible version:
But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. So Violet decided to cheer her up.Casting a comforting smile at Tilly,she helped her sister wipe out tears from her cheeks.“You’re better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics.”Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was.Tilly smiled a little and calmed herself down.
Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face,Violet said,“What about giving it another try?” Tilly smiled a little more.“OK.”Picking up all her courage,Tilly walked back into the gym,where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Violet.Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then.Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes.
