Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
4. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China.
D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.
5. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit
C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality
6. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with
A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.
7. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.

While visiting the North pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list，the ever-changing ICEHOTEL，which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year，may change your mind.200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjārvi，the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.
The 35 rooms，built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets，vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the“Spruce Woods”suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O’Keefe of Canada，it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus，a forest，and even an artificial campfire.
There is also the artfully-carved“Living Ocean”suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark“swimming”right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans.”says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and corals is exciting.”
The nearby“Haven”suite is a“magical gate of ice”guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that invites curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”
Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms，the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling －5℃!That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷缩)up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly，most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.
8. What does the underlined phrase“bucket list”mean in the text
A. A shopping list of buckets. B. A list of travelling destinations.
C. A list of expensive hotels. D. A list of exciting ideas.
9. What can we know about the ice hotel
A. It is rebuilt every year. B. Its rooms are expensive.
C. It organizes camping activities. D. It lies in a coastal city.
10. Where does the inspiration of“Living Ocean”suite come from
A. Art and literature.
B. Ocean life and voyage.
C. Climate changes and human influence.
D. The meeting of people.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. An Adventure to the North Pole
B. An Experience Close to Nature
C. A Taste of Cold:A Night in a Village
D. A Winter Destination:Sweden’s Ice Hotel
D
Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world, Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East—the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach(菠菜), are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes(小萝卜), are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food, However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry, can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
12. What is the present situation of tonic food
A. It is catching less attention. B. It is well known worldwide.
C. It is enjoyed by many young people. D. It is becoming increasingly popular.
13. What is believed to benefit new mothers
A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea. C. Sesame oil hotpot. D. Pig brain soup.
14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in paragraph 3
A. Medicine. B. Restaurant. C. Education. D. Fashion.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B The Popularity of Tonic Food
C. Some Information about Chinese Tonic Food
D. Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. “Hi. I'm Maria. What's wrong with you ” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I'm Jane. I...”she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night I'll be off tomorrow morning.” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house.
Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.
I cleansed and bandaged (包扎) her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent ” I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness.
Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side. Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.
Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.
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。
Jane's 16th birthday came but her mother didn't get home until the evening.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom.

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
4. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China.
D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.
5. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit
C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality
6. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with
A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.
7. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.

While visiting the North pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list，the ever-changing ICEHOTEL，which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year，may change your mind.200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjārvi，the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.
The 35 rooms，built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets，vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the“Spruce Woods”suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O’Keefe of Canada，it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus，a forest，and even an artificial campfire.
There is also the artfully-carved“Living Ocean”suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark“swimming”right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans.”says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and corals is exciting.”
The nearby“Haven”suite is a“magical gate of ice”guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that invites curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”
Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms，the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling －5℃!That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷缩)up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly，most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.
8. What does the underlined phrase“bucket list”mean in the text
A. A shopping list of buckets. B. A list of travelling destinations.
C. A list of expensive hotels. D. A list of exciting ideas.
9. What can we know about the ice hotel

A. Art and literature.
B. Ocean life and voyage.
C. Climate changes and human influence.
D. The meeting of people.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text

Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world, Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East—the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach(菠菜), are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes(小萝卜), are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food, However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry, can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
12. What is the present situation of tonic food
A. It is catching less attention. B. It is well known worldwide.
C. It is enjoyed by many young people. D. It is becoming increasingly popular.
13. What is believed to benefit new mothers
A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea. C. Sesame oil hotpot. D. Pig brain soup.
14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in paragraph 3
A. Medicine. B. Restaurant. C. Education. D. Fashion.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B. The Popularity of Tonic Food
C. Some Information about Chinese Tonic Food
D. Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C

Medicine.药物；B. Restaurant.餐厅；C. Education.教育；D. Fashion.时尚。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段提出滋补品，第二段中“Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness.(滋补品是指为了增进健康或避免疾病而食用的食物)”以及第三段中“The custom of employing tonic foods for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.(利用滋补品养生的习俗也影响着饮食业)”可知，文章主要介绍了滋补品的功效和对餐饮业的影响。故C选项“对中国滋补品的介绍”适合做文章标题。故选C。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的太空计划已经成为第一个在所谓的月球暗面着陆的航天器。the first to do sth.“第一个做某事的……”，序数词后面一般跟to do ……，此处是动词不定式作后置定语，故填to land。

考查语态。句意同上。分析句子可知，that引导定语从句，that作主语，指代先行词surface，和动词light是被动关系，所以此处应用过去分词形式与to be，构成不定式的被动语态，故填lighted/lit。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：嫦娥这个名字来源于一个中国神话，许多中国人认为嫦娥已经在月球上生活了几千年。分析句子结构可知，此处是谓语动词，由for thousands of years可知，此处应用现在完成时，主语是单数，助动词应用has，故填has lived。

Our Oceans, Our Responsibility
June 8th was officially named by the UN in 2009 as World Ocean Day. It’s a day to stress the importance of the ocean and remind people to protect it.
It’s generally acknowledged that the ocean plays an important role in many aspects. First of all, with rich biological resources, the ocean provides samples for biological science research in terms of the diversity of global biological resources. In addition, the abundant food resources and energy make it possible for living things to survive better. Equally importantly, the abundant water resources bear the operation of the global water circulation system, which can affect or even determine the global climate change. So many benefits does ocean bring to human beings that great importance can’t be attached enough to protect it.
Of course, it’s everybody’s duty to shoulder this responsibility. For one thing, it’s a good idea to widely study knowledge concerning the ocean and think of effective approaches to protect it. For another, let’s stop our bad behaviors which may indirectly pollute the ocean. Small things can make a big difference. I believe, with our joint efforts, a truly beautiful ocean will always surround us.
三
Our Oceans, Our Responsibility
Nowadays it is quite common that oceans are being badly polluted. To have a better life on the earth, we human beings should well protect our oceans for the following reasons.
What comes first is that oceans are where life started and contain abundant species, which means a lot to biodiversity on the earth. Besides, it’s oceans that offer us various resources, such as food, energy and so on, ensuring sustainable development of human beings. What’s more, oceans have a great impact on world climate because they can take in heat from the sun.
From what’s mentioned above, protecting oceans becomes urgent. So let’s take action immediately and protect oceans for the sake of us!

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. “Hi. I'm Maria. What's wrong with you ” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I'm Jane. I...”she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night I'll be off tomorrow morning.” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house.
Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.
I cleansed and bandaged (包扎) her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent ” I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness.
Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side. Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.
Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jane’s 16th birthday came but her mother didn’t get home until the evening. Thirsty for the dress, Jane got extremely disappointed when seeing her mother back empty-handed. She stormed out before her mother could stop her. Jane walked angrily and aimlessly only to find herself in an unknown place hours later. Worse still, she fell down in the dark, hurting her forehead. Painful and hungry, she came to realize she shouldn’t have been so willful, but there was nobody around she could turn to for help. So she had to move on until she saw the light from our house.
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom. I kept comforting her until we fell asleep. When Dad awoke us and was told the whole story the next morning, he said to Jane seriously, “It’s dangerous to run away from home. Your mom must be anxious about your safety. I’ll drive you home immediately.” After an hour’s ride, we reached Jane’s home, in front of which stood a worried woman. Jane rushed over and hugged her tightly, saying tearfully, “Sorry, Mom.” Witnessing this, Dad and I breathed a sigh of relief.
