A
The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Amolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?
A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night. D. The Amolfini Portrait.
2. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
3. What do we know about the paintingThe Starry Night?
A. It was painted on wood in oils.
B. It described the painter's life in hospital.
C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C

B
A struggling Waffle House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.
Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama.
Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee, identified only as Ben, trying to cook the food, serve it, bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.
“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.
An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.
Another customer, Alison Stanley, went behind the counter to make some coffee—still dressed from a night out on the town.
“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders. “He needed help, so I got up and helped out.”
Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.
Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.
“We had two associates scheduled to leave, however, due to a communication mix-up, their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. “That left Ben, our cook, alone in the restaurant with hungry customers. He worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders out.”
The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.
“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,” Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants, and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”
“We are also very thankful for Ben, who kept the restaurant open. He is a representative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”
Crispo had his usual order, double plain waffle, as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.
“Humanity truly isn’t good, it’s great!” he said.
4. Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because ________.
A. his associates asked for a leave B. there was a scheduling mistake
C. few customers needed to be served D. the restaurant was scheduled to close
5. Some customers helped Ben out by ________.
A. washing dishes B. taking photos
C. taking orders D. cooking food
6. Why did the customers lend a helping hand according to Pat Warner?
A. They shared the same community spirit. B. They were family members of Ben.
C. They wanted to serve themselves. D. They were too hungry to wait.
7. How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?
A. Lucky and excited. B. Moved and inspired.
C. Relieved and hopeful. D. Content and unbelievable.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一家华夫饼屋由于人员安排的失误，导致只剩一名员工招待顾客，鉴于此，顾客们纷纷主动帮助员工。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第十段“We had two associates scheduled to leave, however, due to a communication mix-up, their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. “That left Ben, our cook, alone in the restaurant with hungry customers. He worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders out.”可知，华夫饼屋公关总监帕特·沃纳在一份声明中称:“我们有两名员工计划离开，但由于沟通失误，他们换班着没有及时出现。这就剩下我们的厨师本和饥饿的顾客们在餐厅里。他既要负责烤架还要负责订单了。”由此判断出，因为换班人员的安排出了问题，导致Ben一个人在工作，故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段“An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.”和第八段“Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.”可知，“一位身份不明的男性顾客决定帮他一把，抓起围裙，跑到柜台后面洗盘子。”“克里斯波拍下了现场的一些照片，当时许多顾客都在清理桌子和洗碗，而本则在专心点单和准备食物”。由此可见，一些顾客帮忙洗盘子，收拾桌子。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第十二段“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,” Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants, and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”可知，“很多顾客觉得自己是我们华夫饼屋的一份子，对此我们很感激，”华纳说。“我们的每一家餐厅都有一种社区意识，我们很感激他们把我们的员工当成家人。”由此可见，店里的顾客将自己视为华夫饼屋的成员，大家都有一种社区意识，彼此互相帮忙。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama.”11月3日凌晨，24岁的克里斯波在阿拉巴马州伯明翰的一家华夫饼屋目睹了这令人振奋的一幕。最后一段“Humanity truly isn’t good, it’s great!”可知，克里斯波认为：人性不是好，是伟大！由此判断出他目睹了这一切，被感动，被激励，发出了对人性的感叹。故选B项。
【点睛】细节理解题顾名思义要抓住细节，将原文的细节信息跟题目和题干进行比对，选出正确选项。例如第2题，题目问：一些顾客怎样帮助本？由第五段“An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.”和第八段“Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.”可知，“一位身份不明的男性顾客决定帮他一把，抓起围裙，跑到柜台后面洗盘子。”“克里斯波拍下了现场的一些照片，当时许多顾客都在清理桌子和洗碗，而本则在专心点单和准备食物”。由此可见，一些顾客帮忙洗盘子，收拾桌子。故选A项。
C
Some yogurt containers in your grocery store might be looking a little different soon. Pure Dairy yogurt will be sold in cups made mostly of paper. Pure Dairy is a food company which specializes in making yogurt which is often sold in plastic containers. But plastic, unlike paper, can take hundreds of years to break down, leading to long-lasting waste. Now, Pure Dairy’s first-ever paper cups will replace the plastic cups previously used to hold its yogurt products.
“People have been asking for a paper cup, and we welcome this challenge to start reducing our plastic use, and to spark a conversation about how we can drive change together. I think we all have a role to play in protecting our planet.” said Hamdi Ulukaya, Pure Dairy’s founder and chief executive officer.
Pure Dairy currently produces yogurt, creamers, coffee and plant-based drinks. Many of these products already come in paper-based, recyclable packaging. But its yogurt products had always been sold in plastic. That’s why the company has spent the past two years working to create a paper cup. They wanted it to hold yogurt just as well as the plastic cups do. The paper cup is expected to hit grocery shelves at the end of this year, which is 80 percent paperboard made from renewable materials.
The new paper cup still has a thin plastic lining to maintain the quality of the product and prevent the yogurt from seeping into the packaging. Although packaging with mixed materials is often not recyclable, Pure Dairy will continue working with partners to make it happen. This group works with businesses to make their products and packaging more sustainable, meaning they want to use resources so that they will continue to be available in the future. The yogurt company says it hopes to put more sustainable packaging on shelves all over the country which will use less plastic and more paper.
8. Why will the company sell yogurt in paper containers?
A. To reduce waste. B. To create a new packaging.
C. To recycle the plastic containers. D. To specialize in making paper cups.
9. What does the underlined word “spark” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Share. B. Continue. C. Dominate. D. Activate.
10. What can we say about the latest paper cup?
A. It can be recyclable. B. It is made of plastic and paper.
C. It doesn’t satisfy the public’s demands. D. It is not the joint effort of the companies.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Paper cups may replace the plastic cups. B. A lot of paper products will be available.
C. A renewable material will replace yogurt. D. The company hopes to produce more packaging.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The new paper cup still has a thin plastic lining to maintain the quality of the product and prevent the yogurt from seeping into the packaging.(新的纸杯仍然有一个薄的塑料衬里，以保持产品的质量，并防止酸奶渗入包装)”可知，新的纸杯是由塑料和纸制成的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Although packaging with mixed materials is often not recyclable, Pure Dairy will continue working with partners to make it happen. This group works with businesses to make their products and packaging more sustainable, meaning they want to use resources so that they will continue to be available in the future.(虽然混合材料的包装通常不是可回收的，但Pure Dairy将继续与合作伙伴合作实现这一目标。该公司与企业合作，使其产品和包装更具可持续性，这意味着他们希望利用资源，以便在未来继续可用)”可推知，在未来，纸杯可能会代替塑料杯。故选A项。
D
Human activity has shrunk (缩小) the size of wild animals worldwide, and yet recent research has found many mammals (哺乳动物) living near cities have gradually become larger, both in length and in weight. The findings are unexpected. Spreading urban environments can grow much hotter than natural habitats, and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller, more energy-saving figure—a principle of biology known as Bergmann’s rule.
As the world grows warmer, scientists have worried that mammals living near cities are going to grow smaller, possibly reducing their fitness and the fitness of their predators (捕食者). Even with climate change that might not happen. As it turns out, there is another factor affecting a mammal’s size that might exceed temperature, and that is food. In and around places with dense populations, where high-calorie human foods are more widely available and predators are fewer and farther in between, new research discovered that most of the mammal species studied appear to be growing in size, not shrinking. According to careful measurements of more than 100 species from North America, gathered from museum collections over the past 80 years, the main reason is not a city’s temperature. Instead, the greatest increases in weight and body length appear to lie among those mammals that live near humans, regardless of how hot their surroundings are.
As climate change grows worse, there is, of course, the possibility that that might change, but at least for now, it seems wolves, deer, bats, and other mammals in North America could be affected more by city populations than city climates.
If we want to protect mammals that exist today for the future, it’s important we know how human civilization is influencing their size, behavior, and well-being. In a rapidly changing world, that knowledge could mean the difference between ongoing life and dying out.
12. Why are the findings unexpected according to Paragraph 1?
A. The temperature in cities is hotter than that in nature.
B. Mammals around cities grow against Bergmann’s rule.
C. The animals living in nature become bigger in size.
D. The city temperature makes animals become smaller.
13. What does the underlined word “dense” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Large. B. Young. C. Working. D. Educated.
14. Which of the following best supports the main idea of the text?
A. Human activity has shrunk the size of wild animals.
B. Climate matters most in determining the size of mammals.
C. Mammals become larger with more food near cities.
D. Living in hot surroundings shapes the size of mammals.
15. What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A. Human’s impact on the mammals’ development.
B. Different ways to rescue the endangered city animals.
C. How to help mammals adjust to the climate change.
D. What healthy food can be given to city mammals.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，城市周围的哺乳动物的体型在不断变大。本文主要探讨了其变大的原因及人类该如何保护现存的哺乳动物。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Human activity has shrunk (缩小) the size of wild animals worldwide, and yet recent research has found many mammals (哺乳动物) living near cities have gradually become larger, both in length and in weight.(人类活动缩小了世界范围内野生动物的体型，然而最近的研究发现，许多生活在城市附近的哺乳动物在长度和重量上都逐渐变大。)”和“Spreading urban environments can grow much hotter than natural habitats, and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller, more energy-saving figure—a principle of biology known as Bergmann’s rule.(不断扩张的城市环境比自然栖息地要热得多，而温暖的气温通常有利于体型更小、更节能的哺乳动物——生物学原理被称为伯格曼法则。)”可知，调查结果出乎意料是因为城市里的哺乳动物生长违背了伯格曼法则。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“where high-calorie human foods are more widely available and predators are fewer(在那里，高热量的人类食物更容易获得，而捕食者更少)”可知，高热量的人类食物更容易获得，这说明这里人口多，因此“places with dense populations”是人口较多的地方，因此dense populations的意思是“人口很多”，即large populations，dense和large意思相近，故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“recent research has found many mammals (哺乳动物) living near cities have gradually become larger, both in length and in weight(最近的研究发现，许多生活在城市附近的哺乳动物在长度和重量上都逐渐变大)”和第二段的“In and around places with dense populations, where high-calorie human foods are more widely available and predators are fewer and farther in between, new research discovered that most of the mammal species studied appear to be growing in size, not shrinking.(新的研究发现，在人口密集的地区及其周边地区，高热量的人类食物更容易获得，而捕食者更少，距离更远。研究发现，大多数被研究的哺乳动物物种的体型似乎在增长，而不是在缩小。)”可知本文主要讲的是研究发现，随着城市附近食物的增加，哺乳动物的体型变得更大。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If we want to protect mammals that exist today for the future, it’s important we know how human civilization is influencing their size, behavior, and well-being.(如果我们想要保护现存的哺乳动物，了解人类文明是如何影响它们的体型、行为和福祉的，这很重要。)”可知，文章接下来会谈论人类对哺乳动物发展的影响。故选A。

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。
Science shows that stretching (拉伸) is essential after exercise. Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress. ____16____
You could feel sick. You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. While it’s great to get that blood flowing, it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. ____17____ As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher, you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast. Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore. When you exercise your muscles, it produces lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest between periods of exercise, your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? ____18____. Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body, which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
____19____ Flexibility is closely related to injury risk. Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury. Besides, your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. ____20____ Sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A. You’ll be at risk of injury.
B. You guessed it: Stretching.
C You’ll improve your flexibility by stretching.
D. It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E. This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”.
F. There are harmful side effects if you don’t stretch after exercise.
G. That’s why people often feel pain in their “weight bearing” joints like knees and hips.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了运动结束后不做拉伸会带来一些不好的结果。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Science shows that stretching (拉伸) is essential after exercise. Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress.”（科学研究表明，运动后的伸展运动是必不可少的。拉伸可以延长和调动你肌肉周围的结缔组织。更重要的是，伸展运动可以帮助你的血液流动，甚至减轻你的压力。）讲述了运动结束后的拉伸运动的好处。下文“You could feel sick. ”（你会觉得恶心。）描述了不做拉伸带来的结果。所以作为本段的结尾可以描述，运动结束不做拉伸会带来一些不好的结果。F项“运动后不做伸展运动会有副作用。”，符合题意，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据前文“You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. While it’s great to get that blood flowing, it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. ”（当你锻炼的时候，你会在一段时间内提高你的心率，你不会感到惊讶。虽然让血液流动是很好的，但是在锻炼结束后让你的心率恢复到正常水平也同样重要。）讲到运动结束后要让心率恢复到正常的水平是重要的。E项“这在健身界也被称为“降温”。this指代前文“to get your heart rate back to a normal level ”，符合题意，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据前文“One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? ”（有什么东西能帮助你的身体摆脱乳酸？）可知，空处应讲述这种东西是什么。B项“你猜对了，（就是）伸展运动。”符合题意，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.”（柔韧性与受伤风险密切相关。）提到了身体的柔韧程度关系到受伤风险的大小。结合第一段最后一句内容，可知接下来的内容讲述了运动结束后不做拉伸会带来不好的结果，所以空白处应该描述你会经历受伤的风险。A项“你会有受伤的危险。”符合题意，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury. Besides, your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. ”（柔韧性差会导致你的肌肉更容易疲劳，关节更容易受伤。此外，你活动范围的减弱会导致你的关节血液和营养物质的减少。）提到了柔韧性差会让肌肉更容易疲劳，关节更容易受伤，同时活动范围的减弱会导致关节血液和营养物质的减少，所以空处应承接前文，讲述这种情况的具体表现。G项“这就是为什么人们经常感到膝盖和臀部等“承重”关节疼痛的原因。”语义上承接前文，符合题意，故选G。
第二部分 语言知识运用

A. Exciting; raising B. Excited; raised C. Being exciting; raised D. Being excited; raising
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：高三的所有老师和学生听到这个消息都很兴奋，举起双手和双臂，欢呼着，大笑着。句中cheered and laughed是并列谓语，空处作非谓语动词，第一空，be excited at sth.表示“因某事兴奋”，作非谓语动词时去掉be动词即可，故填excited；第二空，raise与逻辑主语hands and arms之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式作宾语补足语，故填raised。故选B项。
39. I don’t allow in my drawing room. I don’t allow my family at all.
A. smoking; to smoke B. to smoke; smoking
C. to smoke; to smoke D. smoking; smoking
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我不允许在客厅里吸烟。我根本不允许我的家人吸烟。分析句子结构可知，第一空为非谓语动词作宾语，根据allow doing sth.可知，此处应为动名词短语作宾语，且表主动意义，所以为smoking；第二空为allow sb. to do sth.可知，此处为不定式作宾补，所以此处使用不定式作宾补，且allow与宾语之间为主动关系，所以为to smoke。故选A项。
40. , I’ll get the work finished．
A. Have one more hour B. One more hour
C. Given one more hour D. Giving one more hour
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：再给我一个小时，我就能把工作做完。give与主语I是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，作状语。故选C。

41. I regret you that Tom failed to pass the English quiz last week and that he really regretted your advice on practicing more.
A. to inform; not following B. informing; not to follow
C to inform; having not followed D. informing; not having followed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我很遗憾地通知你，汤姆上周没有通过英语测验，他很后悔没有听从你的建议多加练习。regret to do表示很遗憾地做某事（事情还没有做），其后要接不定式；能这样用的不定式不多，主要是to say, to tell, to inform等，此时句子主语一般是第一人称，且regret通常用现在时；regret doing表示后悔或遗憾做过某事（为已经做过的的事情感到遗憾），其后通常接动名词，且动名词可用一般式或完成式。由此可知，第一空应用动词不定式；第二空的否定词应位于非谓语动词之前。故选A。

42. Many major economic problems to be solved, there is no point the growth rate of this year now.
A. remained; to predict B. remaining; to predict
C. remained; predicting D. remaining; predicting
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经济上还有许多重大问题要解决，现在预测今年的增长速度是没有意义的。分析句子结构可知，两个半句之间无连词，所以第一空为非谓语动词，空前有名词，构成独立主格结构，remain与逻辑主语Many major economic problems之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式，应为remaining；第二空为固定句型there is no point (in) doing sth.意为“做某事没有意义”，所以使用动名词形式，结合句意可知，此处表示主动意义，所以应为predicting。故选D项。
43. It was the first time that China’s lecture ______ from the orbiting Chinese Space Station.
A. was delivered B. had been delivered
C. has been delivered D. delivered
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：这是中国第一次在轨道运行的中国空间站上发表演讲。此处为句型it was the first time that+过去完成时，且从句主语与谓语构成被动关系，故用过去完成时的被动语态。故选B。
44. English is a language shared by several diverse cultures, _________ uses it differently.
A. all of which B. each of which C. all of them D. each of them
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】本题考查定语从句。解题步骤：1. 确定从句：从空格到句末是定语从句。排除CD项，这两项并不是定语从句。2. 确定成分：从句_________ uses it differently.缺少主语，根据前一句可知，先行词是several diverse cultures，在定语从句里使用which指代先行词作为介词of的宾语。3. 确定选项：A项在定语从句中作主语的时候，谓语动词要使用复数形式，定语从句中的uses说明A项是错误的。B项中的each作主语，谓语动词使用单数形式。句意：英语是一个被很多不同的文化共同使用的语言，每一种文化使用英语的方法都是不一样的。故选B。

45. His surprised look suggested he and he suggested that he what happened.
A. was shocked; should tell B. should be shocked; was told
C. was shocked; be told D. should be shocked; should be told
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：他惊讶的表情表明他很震惊，他建议告诉他发生了什么。分析句子结构可知，第一空为suggest后宾语从句的谓语动词，suggest意为“暗示，表明”时宾语从句用陈述语气，根据suggested可知，此处应使用一般过去时态，主语是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词使用单数，结合句意，此处表示的是“感到惊讶”，所以形容词使用shocked，所以应为was shocked；第二空也为suggest后宾语从句的谓语动词，suggest意为“建议”，所以从句需用虚拟语气，谓语动词应为“should+动词原形”，should可以省略，且tell与主语he之间为被动关系，所以应为be told。故选C项。

第二节(满分10分)
64. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写第一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was somewhere between spring and summer, my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then, I was 13 years old, and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car.
Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be struck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom appeared, empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again. “Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank-you for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
注意：
1.续写词数应为75左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
3.下面已给出第二段，请完成第一段。
We were worrying about what could be done.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I asked Mom to stop the car and paced quickly into the shop where a bunch of roses glowing in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet roses. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
【答案】We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a few minutes, mom and I decided to walk along the road back to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the nearby garage. There the old man who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, expressing his heartfelt thanks to us for bringing him a great day. It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who need it badly. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
