They gave me a lesson about 23 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in
fact. I like to remember this 24 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
“Well, we could use some hot dogs.” I was at the local charity food pantry (慈善食品分发处). They had a thrift shop (旧货商店) connected to it where I would sometimes stop to pick up sweatshirts or books for my sons.
Sometimes I would also step back into the food pantry and ask if they needed anything. I got help from food pantries when I was a young father with a hungry family. Now, I like to give back.
This time I could see that most of the shelves were stocked with boxes and cans given by stores. One thing they said they needed was meat, however. Hot dogs were cheap and I didn’t mind getting some. I soon went to the
local store and filled my cart (购物车) with all the hot dogs I could afford.
As I was paying for them, I thought of my own childhood. I could see my mum boiling two hot dogs in a pot. Next she put each one on a slice of white bread with a piece of cheese. To top it off, she would add a little tomato sauce (酱). It didn’t cost much, but to me it was a big meal, cooked with love, eaten with joy.
That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hot dogs at the food pantry. It felt good knowing that
some other little boy or girl out there would soon be having a happy lunch. I left the pantry with a smile on my face. And as I walked to my car, I could feel my mum smiling down on me from heaven (天堂).
The truth is that, when done with love, giving and receiving are the same thing. It all comes back around
again.

A. Because he liked eating hot dogs.
B. Because he missed his mother’s hot dogs.

B. At the food pantry, there were a lot of boxes and cans given by stores.
C. The writer didn’t enjoy the food his mother made when he was young.

Hakarl is a typical Icelandic (冰岛的) dish. Do you want to taste it, although the idea of eating shark meat isn’t for everyone? Possibly by holding your nose with your fingers, you may discover a special flavor.
It is said that, around 1600, in a fiord (峡湾) to the northwest of Iceland, a large shark was washed up on the
shore. Instead of letting it rot, someone thought of tying it up in ropes and leaving it to dry. And when driven by hunger, they decided to eat it. They found it quite tasty. Just a legend? No. This is exactly the method used to prepare Hakarl.
The making of Hakarl seems very simple. In fact, the process (过程)—which has been refined down through
the centuries—is much more complex and lengthy. You must bear in mind that fresh shark meat is very hard and smelly. This is why the freshly caught shark is gutted (取出内脏), and buried in the sand. Then the shark meat is
covered with large stones which act as a sort of press. In this way, more smelly liquid is absorbed by the earth during a period which ranges from four to six months. At this point, the shark meat may be cut into strips which are then hung up to dry for a further three or four months.
When ready, Hakarl is served without its outer crust, and cut into small pieces. They are eaten just as they are, or served in a glass topped up with Brennivin. In this way, the smell becomes a bit gentler.
You will probably think that eating Hakarl is more of a challenge than a pleasure. In fact, there are some who, after tasting it, and this includes me, fall in love with it soon.
30. What did people do after the shark was washed up on the shore according to Paragraph 2?
A They tied it up in ropes and left it to dry. B. They let it rot.
C. They cut it into pieces. D. They threw it away.
31. The underlined word “refined” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. completed B. forgotten C. prepared D. improved
32. What is the correct order of making Hakarl?
a. hang up the shark meat
b. leave the sun and wind to dry it
c. take the guts out of the shark
d. cut the shark meat into strips
e. cover the meat with large stones
f. put the shark meat in the sand
A. a-c-d-f-e-b B. e-d-c-a-f-b C. f-a-e-b-c-d D. c-f-e-d-a-b
33. When you eat Hakarl, it’s better to .
A. eat its outer crust first B. eat together with Brennivin
C. cover your nose with a napkin D. ask others for some advice
There are some great scientists whose research has changed the whole world. Here are some of them.
Albert Einstein was born in Germany, on March 14, 1879. He grew up in Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Einstein taught himself Geometry (几何) when he was 12 years old. He graduated from college in 1900. From 1902 to 1907, Einstein
worked as a clerk in the office in Switzerland. His job left him
plenty of time to think.
Isaac Newton was born in England, on December 25, 1642. He was not a good student. His mother took him out of school so that he could help her with the family farm. Newton did not like farming. He liked to read and study on his own. A teacher knew that Newton was very smart and helped him go to the University of Cambridge.
Marie Curie was born in Poland in 1867. Though Marie was very good in school, no university in Poland at that time accepted female students.
In 1891, Marie travelled to Paris, France. She attended the Sorbonne, a famous college in Paris. Marie studied Physics and Maths and graduated at the top of her class! She also met a
French chemist named Pierre Curie. They married in 1895.
Galileo Galilei was born in Italy, on February 15, 1564. After attending the university, he taught Maths. He also observed how things move. There is a story that he dropped two objects of different weights at the same time from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He found that light and heavy objects fell to the ground at the same time. And he denied the ancient Greek Aristotle’s viewpoint that heavier objects fell faster.
34. What did Newton’s mother take him out of school for?
A. Helping do some farm work. B. Reading and studying.
C. Coming up with his greatest ideas. D. Keeping healthy.
35. How old was Marie when she travelled to Paris?
A. 24. B. 26. C. 27. D. 28.
36. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Einstein learned Geometry by himself when he was 12.
B. A teacher helped Newton go to university.
C. Marie married Pierre when she was around 38.
D. Galileo once did an experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
What’s your New Year’s plan? As the New Year comes, some people love the tradition of making resolutions (决心). Others argue it’s a waste of time since most plans will fail after a few months. So, how can you keep the New Year flag standing? Try these five tips.
●Make a detailed plan
If your New Year’s plan is to exercise five days each week, a plan like “I’ll exercise on weekdays” would be too vague (模糊的). But a detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at school on weekdays during my lunch break” would be better. That is to say, be sure to detail when and where you’ll follow through.
●Make it fun
If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you won’t keep at it easily. But if you get pleasure from your exercise or study, you’ll keep it longer. One way to make keeping a plan more fun is to connect it with pleasure. If you only
allow yourself to watch your favorite TV show after finishing your homework, you’ll start doing it right away.
●Set a punishment (惩罚)
Tell a few friends about your resolutions, so you’ll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven’t followed through. A better punishment than shame, however, is putting cold hard cash on the table. You can make a bet with (与……打赌) your parents that you’ll keep to your New Year’s plan.
●Give yourself more chances
You planned to go to bed early every night, but you couldn’t help staying up late one Friday. After that, your early-to-bed plan went out of the window because you would think “I’ve already failed”. But giving yourself a get- out-of-jail-free card or two each month can help you get better results.
●Get a little help from your friends
If your New Year’s plan is to finish a book, you’d be wise to start hanging around with friends who’ve made it to the finish line and they can show you how to finish it better.
37. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to?
A. Exercise. B. Study. C. Fun. D. The plan.
38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. A plan like exercising four days every week is too vague.
B. Tell some friends about our resolutions, so we’ll feel less ashamed if they check back later and find out we haven’t carried through.
C. Giving ourselves more chances can help us get better results when we carry out our plans.
D. Friends who’ve carried through their plans can show us how to finish our plans better.
39. What is the main idea of this passage?
A The importance of having New Year’s plans.
B. Ways to make New Year’s plans interesting.
C. Ways to follow through New Year’s plans.
D. Ways to make New Year’s plans.
40. This passage is most probably from .
A. a magazine B. a storybook C. a travel diary D. a travel guide
第二节 阅读填空（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，共 5 分）
阅读短文内容，从短文后的 A、B、C、D、E 五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Do you ever think about what all the delicious snacks are made of? You may be surprised to find that many of the things you eat or use every day contain palm oil (棕榈油).
41 This tree grows in humid (潮湿的) climates. Rainforests are hot, humid and get a lot of rain.
Rainforests have the perfect conditions for growing oil palm trees.
The trees grow a large red fruit called “red palm oil” or “oil palm fruit”. 42 This oil is used in many
different things. Some you can eat, some you clean with, and more.
One oil palm tree can produce a lot of oil. The oil palm tree is among the plants that make the most oil humans can use. One acre (英亩) of land, which is almost the size of a football field, planted with oil palm trees can produce almost 7 tons of oil. 43
Palm oil is being used to make common things you find in your house. Often it is used to make soaps. Palm oil can even be used to run cars or buses. 44 For example, it keeps chocolate from melting (融化) at regular
room temperature.
45 Researchers say one big reason this is happening is that people want to eat healthier things.
Before, it was common to find animal fat in things you ate every day. Animal fat is less healthy than many
vegetable oils. Now, more people want vegetable oils instead of animal fat. So more people want a product like palm oil.
A. It is often used in food because it holds together well.
B. That’s enough to fill over 5,000 water bottles
