When I’m in Italy, I generally only eat Italian food. I doubt whether there’s another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
To eat well in Italy, finding the right restaurant is essential. I appreciate personality-driven restaurants, run by people keen(热衷的) to share their love of good cooking, and places serving family recipes. Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location, lots of locals, and a small, handwritten menu in one language. The menu is small because they’re only selling everything they’re cooking; it’s handwritten because it’s shaped by what is fresh today in the market; and it’s in one language because they mostly serve locals.
For a fast and cheap lunch, I look for Italian food in corner delis (熟食店): either a rosticceria, specializing in roasted meats and antipasti(开胃食物), or a hot table bar — a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables. Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts, cheeses, and other foods for a picnic.
Italians tend to spend a long time on each course, and dinner is the evening’s entertainment. For example, when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant, you don’t get out until midnight; a three-hour meal is common. Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving. When you want the bill, you’ll have to ask for it. To “eat and run” is seen as a lost opportunity.
A couple of years ago, I sat down at my favorite place in Verona, Enoteca Can Grande, with my friend and guide Franklin. We let the chef, Giuliano bring us whatever he wanted. Just after the antipasti arrived, Franklin’s wife phoned him and said, “Don’t eat too much cheese or dessert.” Later Franklin, who was not thin, surveyed our table. Sighing, he said, “The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few.”
“That’s a pity,” I said.
I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours. Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.
4. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1?
A. He doesn’t have many food choices in Italy.
B. Italian food is the best all over Europe.
C. He has a great tooth for Italian food.
D. He doesn’t like trying foreign food.
5. Where does the author like eating while in Italy?
A. At a restaurant at a high-rent location.
B. At a restaurant that locals visit frequently.
C. At a place where waiters don’t just speak Italian.
D. At a place which provides various food.
6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Ways to eat simply and cheaply in Italy.
B. Ways to prepare simple food in Italy.
C. Places to have a picnic in Italy.
D. Nice places to eat in Italy.
7. What do we learn about Italians at dinner in a restaurant?
A. They like ordering lots of drinks.
B. They don’t consider it fun.
C. They usually spend much time on dinner.
D. They don’t like ordering much food.

Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this. young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling (运球) and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.
Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis. it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop and a ball.
So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 127 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal for fans around the world.
The success of basketball as global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. “The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from forbidding African-Americans to play basketball to allowing them to play in the NBA,” the LIVESTRONG website noted.
From the 1950s onwards, segregation (隔离) rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitols, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
It’s not difficult to see that there’s a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, raised above the floor, letting the oppressed (受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.”
8. What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author?
A. It can be played everywhere. B. It doesn’t cost much.
C. It doesn’t require too much skill. D. It interests almost everyone.
9. What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?
A. The sport was created by a PE teacher.
B. The sport was not popular with people at first.
C. Its rules have been changed a lot to suit new circumstances.
D. The NBA, with a history of 127 Years, attracts people worldwide
10. The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ______.
A. explain the rules of NBA games in the 1950s
B. stress the success African—Americans in basketball
C. prove the popularity of basketball among African—Americans
D. show how racial integration took place in basketball
11. What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean?
A. Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.
B. American people usually have a basketball dream.
C. Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.
D. Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，说起伟大的篮球运动员，我们会想到美国的各个篮球明星，如迈克尔乔丹，科比布莱恩等，但是篮球运动其实也和非裔美国人有着颇深的联系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike golf or tennis. it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. (与高尔夫或网球不同。它不需要巨大的财富投入或大量的游戏空间。毕竟，没有多少人拥有高尔夫球场大小的后院，网球设备也很昂贵。)”可知，打篮球不需要花费很多钱，也不需要多大的场地。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances.( 因此，在1891年加拿大裔美国体育教育家詹姆斯·奈史密斯发明这项运动后，这项运动在美国公民中颇受欢迎，他们很快就被这项运动所吸引，因为它适合他们的情况。)”可知，1891年加拿大裔美国体育教育家詹姆斯·奈史密斯发明篮球运动。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“From the 1950s onwards, segregation (隔离) rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitols, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.( 从20世纪50年代开始，禁止非裔美国人在NBA比赛中打篮球的种族隔离规则在美国不再使用。1950年，当厄尔·劳埃德开始为华盛顿国会大厦队效力时，事情开始发生变化。从那时起，比赛的大多数伟人都是非裔美国人，比如迈克尔·乔丹、魔术师约翰逊、科比·布莱恩特和勒布朗·詹姆斯。)”可知，本段主要描述的是20世纪50年代开始美国废除了禁止非裔美国人参与NBA比赛的种族隔离规则，由此产生了一系列的著名的球星。由此说明的是美国篮球界的种族融合现象。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, raised above the floor, letting the oppressed (受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.(当篮球按照它应该的方式进行的时候，篮球在空中进行; 飞行，漂浮，升到地板上方，让这个地球上被压迫的人们在梦中想象他们自己)”可知，篮球代表了自由和希望。故选C。
D
Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).
One of the study's authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study，the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study，Patrick C.M.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
12. When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find ________.
A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time
B he has an easier time learning music at the same time
C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand
D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch
13. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C. Because music training might help people with language study.
D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
14. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”.
A. created B. spelled C. seemed D. pronounced
15. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers
B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。目前有研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习语言更容易。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand”.可知，任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch可知，学习汉语和音乐训练用到的是都是大脑相同的部位。这些部位有助于帮助人们发现音调中的变化。故学习汉语和音乐训练有关系。所以为什么中文学习与音乐训练有关是因为学习两种技能需要用到大脑相同的部位。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段“This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. ”可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着中心作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们对这个词发出不同的音调时，那么，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思。故划线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现语调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。所以短文的最佳标题是“熟练的音乐听觉有助于语言学习”故选B项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
◆ Study with a partner or in groups
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. ___16___ Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.
◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” ___17___ Learn from them for the next test. Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.
◆ Paint bigger pictures
___18___ It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.
Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.
Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405
The bottom is easier right? It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.
◆ ___19___
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
◆ Take breaks to relax your brain
Your brain is like a muscle. ___20___ But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.
A. Feed your brain.
B. It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C. Relax your brain by eating and drinking.
D. If in doubt, by all means, ask your teachers.
E. You have probably experienced a lot of tests and quizzes by now.
F. Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.
G. Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以有助于更好更快速学习的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him.(与其窝在山洞里整天埋头读书，不如从班里找个朋友和他一起学习)”以及后文“Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.(积极地和别人交流信息不仅能帮助你学习，还能让学习变得更有趣)”可知，上文提出和他人一起学习，后文则说明了和别人交流信息的好处，可知本句与后文构成并列，都是在说明小组学习的优点。G选项中Group studying也对应小标题“Study with a partner or in groups(和同伴或小组一起学习)”。故G选项“小组学习可以帮助你更深入地参与和处理信息”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?”(问问你自己“如果我是老师，我会在考试中考什么？”)”以及后文“Learn from them for the next test.(向他们学习，为下一次考试做准备)”可知，上文提出假设自己是老师，后文则提到向他们学习，可知本句是在说明问老师问题，向他们学习，D选项中teachers对应后文中them。故D选项“如果有疑问，无论如何要问你老师”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.(单独记住每一块拼图要比记住完整的图片更难)”以及“Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.(创造语境能赋予信息意义，也能把学习变成一种体验，而不是简单的吸收)”可知，后文提到完整的图片更容易几乎，语境能更好地理解信息的意义，也就是说将所学到的东西与其他东西联系起来，组成一个整体会更好地理解。故F选项“找到方法将你所学的东西与现实生活或其他概念联系起来”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
本空为本段小标题，结合本段内容“A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.(饥饿的大脑是效率低下的。你的大脑需要适当的营养来维持运转。正因为如此，你的饮食也对你的大脑有多敏锐起着很大的作用。健康的食物为你的脑细胞提供营养，让它们保持活力)”可知，本段的主要内容是为大脑提供足够的营养，才能维持大脑的活力和高效，A选项中brain对应后文中brain。故A选项“喂饱你的大脑”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Your brain is like a muscle.(你的大脑就像一块肌肉)”可知，上文把大脑比喻成一块肌肉，也就是说越锻炼大脑，大脑才会越强壮，B选项中It指代上文brain。故B选项“它需要运动使它更强壮”符合语境，故选B。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn’t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.” I immediately protested, “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.”
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. I nodded without hesitation, as if a second wasted could deprive the dandelions of their life. “The same to you,” she added, her voice soft. “Not everyone can be a rose, and it is also an honour to be a dandelion.” Knowing that my mother had realized my pain, I took off the mask that I had worn for the whole lunch time and poured out my unease heartily. “I want to be the beautiful princess but now I was chosen as a narrator.” She listened to me patiently and patted me on the back tenderly.
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said. She reminded me of how fluently I could deliver my part at home. It was at that time that I understood that maybe I was more suitable for a role back stage like a narrator. From then on, I practiced my lines heart and soul with my mother at lunch time for weeks. And the performance approached ultimately. Standing backstage, nervousness came flooding in me. What encouraged me to overcome it was the inspiration from the beautiful yellow dandelions. The performance that night was eventually a big success. Hearing the thunderous applause, I took pride in my role and firmly believed that even a dandelion had its own beauty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在小学三年级的时候被选中为校园剧里的公主，但上台的时候因为忘记台词，因此角色被换成了旁白，作者内心受伤。后来作者的母亲察觉到了作者的不安，于是建议让她去院子里拔除院子里的野草改种玫瑰，但是作者反对这么做。因为作者认为蒲公英同样美丽。因此作者也明白了其中的道理，野草和玫瑰各有各的美丽，无论哪一个角色，都会有自己的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“你是说每朵花都有自己的美吗？我母亲若有所思地问道。”可知，第一段可描写作者的母亲听了作者的诉苦，并且温柔地安慰了作者。
②由第二段首句内容“但你会成为一个美丽的旁白者，妈妈说。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到了母亲的鼓励之后，这给了作者自信，因此作者认真练习旁白。并且最终表演成功。
2.续写线索：回家吃午饭对我的影响——被选中为校园剧的公主——角色被换成旁白——内心受伤——母亲察觉并安慰和鼓励——表演成功——感悟
