【題目】For the Travel section，writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.

Brussels：Chocolate

Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe，and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share.While Brussels，the country’s capital，is home to hundreds of chocolate makers，what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.

Budapest：Paprika(紅辣椒)

The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do.A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them，so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh.But by the early 20th century，sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.

Lisbon：Tiles(瓷磚)

Is there a bluer country than Portugal？The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land.The blue moods of Fado，the dark folk music，form the national soundtrack.And all across Portugal，the typically blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches，castles，palaces，university halls，parks...The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints，Portuguese kings，historical glories，aristocrats(貴族) at leisure，seascapes and so on.

Madrid：Guitars

Walking into one of Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past.Curly wood shavings，from the palest pine to ebony，fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art.It’s painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

【1】What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

A. The popularity of Hungarian peppers.

B. The difficulty of processing peppers.

C. The unique tradition in Budapest.

D. The hot level of Hungarian peppers.

【2】Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?

A. Brussels. B. Budapest.

C. Lisbon. D. Madrid.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【解析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹了歐洲四個城市獨具特色的傳統(tǒng)珍寶。

【1】推理判斷題。由Budapest：Paprika(紅辣椒)部分中的內(nèi)容可知，處理布達(dá)佩斯的紅辣椒曾被認(rèn)為對媽媽來說很危險，如果剛工作完回家的女人摸了自己的孩子，那就可能灼傷孩子，因而只有年長者和未婚者才被允許做分離紅辣椒表皮與果肉的細(xì)活。由此可推知，此處強調(diào)了布達(dá)佩斯紅辣椒辣的程度。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀文章可知，只有Lisbon：Tiles(瓷磚)部分詳細(xì)描述了因為瓷磚而變得美輪美奐的城市，故C項符合題干要求。

【題目】閱讀理解
Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice, “That's what your legs are for!” The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge（樹籬）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it's you!” he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home.”
（1）What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Accepted happily.
B.Spoke unhappily.
C.Agreed willingly.
D.Explained clearly.
（2）What made the author feel upset was ______.
A.the feeling of being less than valued
B.the fear of seeing something moving
C.the tiredness after long hours in labs
D.the loneliness of riding the bus home
（3）The author's father watched behind the hedge because ______.
A.he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway
B.he wanted to help his son build up courage
C.he was concerned about his son's safety
D.he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.My College Life.
B.My Father's Secret.
C.Terrible Journey Home.
D.Riding Bus Alone.

【題目】My doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.

I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.

I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.

Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.

“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.

“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”

The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.

So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.

Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.

“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.

【1】The author and Wing got to know each other .

A. as next door neighbors

B. when exchanging meals

C. by sharing similar experiences

D. after using an iPad to communicate

【2】The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. do as well B. offer generously

C. give in return D. accept with pleasure

【3】The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .

A. great satisfaction B. real kindness

C. heartfelt thanks D. sincere friendship

【題目】閱讀理解
The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平線) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?
The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.
The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.
There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.
（1）What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?
A.It becomes large.
B.It looks different.
C.Its color disappears.
D.Its shape changes.
（2）What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?
A.It comes nearer.
B.It turns orange.
C.It goes farther.
D.It gets through dust.
（3）What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?
A.They can affect our judgment.
B.They are low on earth.
C.They can attract our attention.
D.They are large objects.
（4）What can we infer from the text?
A.The size of the moon often changes.
B.The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.
C.The moon is beginning to shrink much.
D.We do not see the moon as it really is.

【題目】閱讀理解
People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune（免疫的）, for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercises. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
（1）What is the national sickness?
A.Walking too much.
B.Travelling too much.
C.Driving cars too much.
D.Climbing stairs too much.
（2）What was life like when the author was young?
A.People usually went around on foot.
B.People often walked 25 miles a day.
C.People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D.People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
（3）The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _____.
A.middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B.walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C.people need regular exercise to keep fit
D.going on foot prevents heart disease
（4）What's the author's intention of writing this passage?
A.To tell people to reflect more on life.
B.To recommend people to give up driving.
C.To advice people to do outdoor activities.
D.To encourage people to return to walking.

【題目】It’s inevitable for us to meet and contact with strangers. Also talking to strangers matters but how does it work? There are unwritten rules we tend to follow. The rules are very different depending on what country we’re in and what culture we’re in.

In most parts of the US, the baseline expectation in public is that we maintain a balance between politeness and privacy. This is known as civil inattention(禮貌性疏忽). So, imagine two people are walking towards each other on the street. They’ll glance or wave at each other from a distance. That’s the civility. And then as they get closer, they’ll look away, to give each other some space.

In other cultures, people go to extraordinary lengths not to interact at all. People from Denmark are unwilling to talk to strangers, and they would rather miss their stop on the bus than say “excuse me” to someone that they need to get around. They move the backpacks on purpose or use their bodies to say that they need to get past, instead of using two words.

In Egypt, it’s rude to ignore a stranger, and there’s a remarkable culture of hospitality. Strangers might ask each other for a sip of water. Or, if you ask someone for directions, they’re very likely to invite you home for coffee. We see these unwritten rules most clearly when they’re broken, or when you’re in a new place and you’re trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.

When you talk to strangers, you’re making beautiful interruptions into the expected narrative of your daily life and theirs. You’re making unexpected connections. If you don’t talk to strangers, you’re missing out on all of that. We spend a lot of time teaching our children about strangers. What would happen if we spent more time teaching ourselves? We could make a space for change.

【1】Which of the following can be regarded as civil inattention in most parts of the US?

A. Avoiding talking to strangers.

B. Glancing at each other anytime.

C. Greeting someone in the distance.

D. Inviting strangers home for coffee.

【2】How does a Dane get past on the bus?

A. By saying “excuse me” politely.

B. By tapping others on the shoulders.

C. By forcing his way through people.

D. By making a gesture.

【3】Why does the author advise making a space for change?

A. To let us create private space between strangers and us.

B. To let us show hospitality to strangers.

C. To let us make improvement on how to treat strangers.

D. To let us maintain a balance between politeness and privacy.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How to contact with strangers.

B. Different rules of treating strangers.

C. The meaning of civil inattention.

D. Making unexpected connections.
