一、阅读理解

Can you regain the thrill of reading that you experienced as a child? Time to dust off some of the best childhood classics ever written.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri

This is the story of five-year-old Heidi, an orphan(孤儿)who is sent to live with her rough grandfather in the Swiss Alps and charms everyone she meets with her sunny personality-from the scary grandfather to Peter the shepherd, his blind grandmother and, in fact, the goats.

What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

It tells the story of rebellious(叛逆的)Katy Carr and her violent brothers and sisters running relatively wild, despite the best efforts of their father and long-suffering aunt. There are a lot of life lessons provided in these pages but it’s never high-handed, always gentle and quietly inspiring.

The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden

This story is about magic, Christmas and the power of making wishes. The series of events that bring Holly and Ivy together wouldn’t stand up in real life for a nano-second, but the story is so movingly told that every time you read it, your faith is restored in the wonder of Christmas, a time when dreams come true and wonders can happen.

B．They have good endings. D．The characters have no relatives.

I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until I was older. I thought everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friends’ families ate the same government-labeled food as my family ate. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.

Shopping with my mom made me first understand that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were provided by government so we could eat.

In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. Though my mother was uneducated, she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in a poor family taught me perseverance(毅力) I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.

As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient(有适应力的), and how to respect people for who they are as an individual and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. “Hardworking, trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined” are all words not specially connected with poor life. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from.

4．Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraph 1? A．To show similar living environment to others. B．To introduce a normal way of poor people’s life. C．To stress his values born out of his poor early life. D．To indicate his unawareness of poverty at an early age.

5．How might the author feel about his family background before high school? A．Confident.

B．Awkward.

C．Conflicted.

D．Anxious.

6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The poor should be respected based on how they look. B．The author’s poverty inspired him to pursue material wealth. C．It’s poverty that has motivated the author to develop good qualities. D．Poor life will definitely contribute to an individual’s quality building. 7．What is the text mainly about? A．Tiredness due to poor life as a child. B．Differences among the poor.

C．Lessons from poverty-struck childhood. D．Misunderstanding of poverty.

Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health have been wildly inconsistent. But gradually something clearer is coming out. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat in the coming 2023, it’s useful to look at new data on Vitamin D, as well as recent research on coffee and other foods.

Bone is a dynamic tissue, constantly replaced with new cells. Calcium is the key nutrient for building bone, and Vitamin D enables us to absorb Calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements to counteract age-related bone loss. Today more than a third of American adults aged 60 and older take this Vitamin.

But a huge study published this past summer found that taking Vitamin D for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures(骨折)in healthy adults aged 50 and older. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that D supplements do not improve bone density. Besides they declared that it’s time for medical professionals to stop pushing these pills and quit ordering so many blood tests for Vitamin D levels.

“Food and incidental sun exposure likely provide enough Vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff who led the study. But LeBoff puts an emphasis on “healthy” adults. The study did not focus on those who already have osteoporosis(骨质疏松). Such people would be wise to remain on extra Vitamin D and Calcium, she advises.

What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is foods that are high in Calcium, such as dairy products, sardines and tofu. For those of us who like to start our day with coffee, modest consumption may help our bones. Although very high level of caffeine-say, six to eight cups of coffee-cause Calcium to be lost in urine(尿)one or two cups

seems to have a beneficial effect. A study led by Ching-Lung Cheung of Hong Kong University linked three digestive by-products of coffee with greater bone density. “Coffee intake, if not excessive, should be safe for bone.” he says. “And if you still have concerns, add milk!”

8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．A common understanding of Vitamin D． B．A brief introduction of bone tissues. C．A way to develop and consume Calcium. D．A doctor’s advice to help improve bones

9．If you counteract the age-related bone loss, you will ________. A．remove Vitamin D from your body B．extremely depend on Calcium intake C．discover how bones and ages are related D．make up for retired or dead bone cells 10．We can learn from Meryl LeBoff that ________.

A．fractures are not necessarily related to bone density B．medication is required for enough Vitamin D intake C．D supplements should be taken only when necessary D．Vitamin D levels should be removed from blood tests 11．What is the best title of the passage?

A．Surprising Findings on how Diet Builds Better Bones B．Safety Concern over Vitamin Intake for Healthy Bones C．Hidden Relationship between Vitamin D Bone Density D．Where Messy Diet Research will lead in the Coming Year

Saddle attached. Mount up. Reins in hand. Racing with the wind and jumping to the sky, freshmen Natalle Gordon and Lauren Tate become one with their horses.

hunting events, a slow and complicated variation of jumping. Hunting events are subjectively judged based on how well the horse performs over fences. The pair of rider and horse is judged on style, pace, and manners as well.

Gordon’s horse, Casino, is a Welsh pony. Together the two have achieved impressive results including first place in a Derby, a large competition in the equestrian world, which was a big accomplishment.

The horse and rider’s goal is to clear all the fences in the course as quickly as possible without making any mistakes by knocking over the bars of the fence.

“It’s a speed round,” Tate said. “You just have to be the fastest person and get to the jump and win.” Tate’ horse, Chief, is a Chestnut Appendix. Together they have gotten champion awards in jumpers. “I love Chief,” Tate said. “I’m really proud of the work we’ve done together.”

Both Tate and Gordon have bonded through horse riding. Along with bonding with each other, they have established a deep love of their horses. “It’s you and your horse out there,” Tate said. “You are never alone. You’re partners through it all.” 12．What can we know from the text?

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

It was 11 p.m. when Alex Conrad saw the woman on the Main Street Bridge. She was standing by the railing staring down at the rushing Chippewa River below. At her feet was what appeared to be a backpack.

Maybe she’s fishing, Conrad, then 20, thought as he continued driving his car to his home a short distance away. His friend’s car had been broken down in an accident with seriously damaged feet, so Conrad was making a quick stop to grab some tools before heading out to help.

Tools in hand, he climbed into his car. Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge. Something wasn’t right about that woman. Why would she be fishing this late at night-in May, when it’s still cold in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin?

As he crossed the quarter-mile-long bridge, Conrad saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked some 20 feet away with his hazard lights flashing, blocking one of the four lanes. In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take notice of it and help.

He stepped out of this car and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. What he’d thought was a backpack was in fact a rope by her feet. One end was tied to a bridge post. The other, around her neck.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Conrad called out. He didn’t recognize the rope because he didn’t want to show her that he knew exactly what was going on.

She spoke in a silent voice, but he kept asking for more details, eventually learning from

her that she was going through a particularly rough time. She was jobless, not doing well in school-in short, life wasn’t working out as she’d hoped.

“Not everything goes as planned,” agreed Conrad. He started talking about the ups and downs he’d faced in his life. As he talked, he got closer with his every comforting word to the desperate woman. 注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When she mentioned that she was most sad about her car broken down, Conrad laughed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Conrad was about to lose hope to save her when the police appeared for Conrad’s car blocking the road.
