Open Table app
Open Table app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurant available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations, which can add up to discounts(折扣) on restaurant visits.
Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app
Wine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each. Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app is free.

I still remember the day when I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy cleaning my car with a brush. I went over and patted him on the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to smile at me. So I was sure he needed some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he refused to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said, “I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your car is so beautiful and I like it, but I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the bill.
As he had refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so excited that he got into the car at once, “Would you please drive me home It is only about 3 miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family. As soon as I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, saying to a little girl on his back, “Look at this beautiful car. I will buy you one someday.”
I noticed his sister had a pale face. What’s worse, her legs were too thin, and she was unable to walk.
After that day I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his family. Poor as they were, the boy once again refused my money, and said, “I can make money by myself, thank you.”
Soon I told my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to work here the next day.
No matter how poor we are, we will never give in to ourselves.

The best friendship to be described in Chinese literature probably the one between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi.
Yu was a famous master(大师) music who played the qin well.
Once, he took a boat trip to the state of Chu. Inspired by the beautiful view along the way, Yu took out his qin and began to play. After a while, he noticed a woodsman(樵夫) enjoy his music quietly. The man was Zhong Ziqi. When Yu played music that described high mountains, Zhong said: “How wonderful it is! I seem to see Taishan Mountain.” And when he played music that described flowing water, Zhong said: “How wonderful it is! I seem to see the rushing river.” Yu was surprised by the woodsman’s words because the man could really understand his music. When Zhong died the following year, Yu was so upset that he took out his qin to play the music of the “high mountains and flowing water’’ one last time for Zhong. When he was done, he broke his qin on purpose so he could never play it again.
Now, the phrase “high mountains and flowing water” is used to stand for the true friendship.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer (祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
32. According to Dr Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they .
A. are lack of care B. are watered
C. are weeded out D. are beaten
33. The underlined word “robust” in Para. 6 most probably means “ ”．
A. strong B. strange C. deep D. old
34. Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now
A. I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
B. I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.
C. I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
D. I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. A nice doctor B. The deep roots
C. Adversity and suffering D. My childhood memory

【原文】My parents run a small restaurant. The restaurant was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. At age ten I was cleaning tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made a mistake of telling dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, “OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks.” He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.

I still remember the day when I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy cleaning my car with a brush. I went over and patted him on the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to smile at me. So I was sure he needed some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he refused to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said, “I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your car is so beautiful and I like it, but I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the bill.
As he had refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so excited that he got into the car at once, “Would you please drive me home It is only about 3 miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family. As soon as I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, saying to a little girl on his back, “Look at this beautiful car. I will buy you one someday.”
I noticed his sister had a pale face. What’s worse, her legs were too thin, and she was unable to walk.
After that day I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his family. Poor as they were, the boy once again refused my money, and said, “I can make money by myself, thank you.”
Soon I told my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to work here the next day.
No matter how poor we are, we will never give in to ourselves.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer (祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
32. According to Dr Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they .
A. are lack of care B. are watered
C. are weeded out D. are beaten
33. The underlined word “robust” in Para. 6 most probably means “ ”．
A. strong B. strange C. deep D. old
34. Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now
A. I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
B. I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.
C. I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
D. I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. A nice doctor B. The deep roots
C. Adversity and suffering D. My childhood memory
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树经历，如不给树浇水等，最后树长的非常高大强壮，并经得起风吹雨打，是因为树的根非常深了，由此想到了孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以祈祷孩子们像大树一样能深深扎根在泥土里，能经得起风雨的洗礼。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker.(他从不给新栽的树浇水，这与传统观念背道而驰。有一次我问他为什么。他说，浇水会破坏植物，这样每一代树都会越来越弱。)”可知，根据吉布斯博士的理论，如果给树木浇水，它们会变得更弱。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“They’re extremely tall, big ”（他们非常高大）文章下文“since they have deep roots now(因为他们现在已经根深蒂固了)”和“However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.(然而，我花园里的树在寒风中颤抖，尽管我已经给它们浇了好几年水。)”可知，通过没有浇水的树和浇水的树之间的对比，没浇水的树更“强壮”，所以可推测出画线词很可能是“强壮的”意思。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could.(不幸和苦难似乎比舒适和安逸更能给这些树带来好处。)”和“I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer (祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.(我经常为他们祈祷。我主要祈祷他们的生活能一帆风顺。但我认为是时候改变我的祈祷了，因为现在我知道我的孩子们将会遇到困难。)”可知，作者改变了之前的祈祷，也知道孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以可推知现在作者的祈祷是希望孩子们深深扎根在泥土里，因为雨水经常下，风经常吹。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树经历，如不给树浇水等，最后树长的非常高大强壮，并经得起风吹雨打，是因为树的根非常深了，由此想到了孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以祈祷孩子们像大树一样能深深扎根在泥土里，能经得起风雨的洗礼，故B选项“深根”适合用作文章标题。故选B项。

【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：根据一个中国古代传说，饺子最早是由医圣张仲景制作的。分析句子可知，此处应为冠词，作定语，修饰名词短语“ancient Chinese legend”；由句意可知，应为不定冠词，表示“一个”；“ancient”是发音以元音音素开头的单词，故用不定冠词an。故填an。

【答案】I Spent a Meaningful Day
It was Father’s Day. Having finished my homework, I together with my sister went to buy flowers and vegetables as planned in advance. We wanted to give our father a big surprise. On our way home, we met Grandpa Li, an old neighbour without children. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. Then we went to his home with what we bought. With his help, we cooked a delicious meal. Then we phoned our parents to have lunch at Grandpa Li’s. Hearing what we had done, they were very happy, saying we were really caring. After lunch, we helped Grandpa Lido a thorough cleaning. Tired as me were, we felt we spent a meaningful day.
