10、nt to join Peer Tutoring.BAt home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I dont even give it a second thought. In China, its a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Be
11、ijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall
12、 names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken
13、 with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and
14、 called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it
15、would taste like. I took agamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point a
16、t the one English sentence “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show?24. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijings restaurants? A. Confusing but amu

19、ur kids holiday gifts, many of us cant wait to hear their appreciative cries of“thank you!” once the wrapping gets ripped off. But heres a tip:Youd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. But do the kids show the
20、ir gratitude for the stuff we buy them? All the research Ive done has convinced me that it wont happen. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cell phone, he said, “But thats what moms should do.” From a teenagers angle, its a parents responsibility to
21、take care of the family. According to Dunham, Yales assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”its just mom and dad living up to their obligation.Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should
22、thanksincerely whoever gives them something. But kids cant know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they dont learn that by a parent complaining that theyre ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isnt abou
23、tstuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway.Its about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how its distributed.
24、 Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, its much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your
25、 appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matter arent on sale at a department store.28. How do children respond when receiving gifts from th
26、eir parents? A. They show no interest in their parents gifts. B. They cant wait to open their parents gifts. C. They take their parents gifts for granted. D. They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.29. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Children ought to realize how l
27、ucky they are to have considerate parents. B. No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful. C. Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money D. It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.30. Whats the purpose of the author writing
28、this text?A. To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.B. To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.C. To encourage parents to do things together with their children.D. To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children.DAn idea
29、 that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program all
30、ows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used
31、 author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in th
32、e “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York, w
33、here local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point, putting all their energy
34、and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would n
35、ot otherwise have shared a word.31. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.32. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to ca
36、rry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.33. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with
37、little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#KD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.34. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean _.A. exchanged ideas with each
38、otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language35. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by _.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the
39、 number of books that each person reads第二节（共5小题; 每小题3分，共15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。I believe the very nature of writing is to set the writer free, not to impress readers. I encourage my students to write freely. By now we taste the goodness of free writing and enjoy it very much.
40、 And I imagine you may have tons of questions about free writing. First, how to improve my logic(逻辑)? 36 The power of writing has to do with its emotion and logic, and therefore we try extra hard to be logicalbut this kind of forced logic is not something we can force on ourselves, or on our writing
41、s. When we let our emotional voice come out freely, our logical voice will also come outthat is the charm of free writing. Read your own free writings, and you will find many free writings are quite logical indeed. You are not that illogical as you thought of yourself. 37 Yes, sometimes our ideas ar
42、e boring, sometimes we are boring peopleso what? Who says we have to be amazing all the time? Lets respect our human reality. The good thing we need to do is to continue to write patiently. Persistence wins the battle. Sometimes the idea may seem boring to us, but as we continue to write, something
43、else will come up. 38 Our writing does not have to be immortal or amazing. Writing is just one way to express ourselves. Please dont worship writing.Now, what if my writing often shows my dark side that I dont want to see at all? 39 As human beings, we all have our dark sides; what is the right way
44、for us to become better people? To face them honestly or to hide them and pretend they never exist? Honesty is always the best policy. Our dark sides need to be expressed, and free writing is a perfect outlet. The miracle is, after you express yourself truthfully, you will have less negative emotion
45、s, you will be more at peace with yourself, and have more compassion(同情) toward others. 40 Many of my students have experienced the healing effects of free writing. And I believe you will experience the same wonderful healing.A. This is a very honest question.B. Logic is only one aspect in writing.C
46、. Then, what if my ideas are boring?D. And free writing is exactly the opposite.E. We write to free ourselves, and also to free others.F. Have you ever wondered why free writing sets us free?G. Our goal is not to amaze people, but to express ourselves.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分
