Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight.
Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most nonflowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air.We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds .When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
8. The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.
A. plants are important for life.
B. plants cannot grow without air.
C. there are many plants in the world .
D. we can not live without water.
9. What can we infer from the passage ________
A. Of all living things animals are most important.
B. Spores are seeds.
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.
D. Without plants, man will die out.
10. This passage may be taken from________.
A. a medicine book. B. a novel.
C. a science magazine. D. an experiment report.
11. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by________.
A. damaged B. serve
C. prevented D. guarded
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物对生命重要性，并且重点介绍了两种植物：开花植物和不开花植物以及它们各自的特点。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的主旨句“Life could not go on if there were no plants.(如果没有植物，生命就无法继续。)”可知，第一段说的是植物对生命的的重要性。A. plants are important to life(植物对生命很重要)符合以上说法，故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Animals and man get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore, animals and man need plants in order to live.(动物和人类通过吃植物和其他动物来获取食物。因此，动物和人类需要植物才能生存)”可知，人类和动物的生存离不开植物，也就是说，没有植物，人类和动物就会灭绝。D. Without plants, man will die out.(没有植物，人类会灭绝)符合以上推测，故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段的“Plants are very important living things(植物是非常重要的生物。)”和第三段的“flowering plants and non-flowering plants.(被子植物及非开花植物。)”可知本文主要介绍了植物对动物和人类的重要性以及开花植物和不开花植物的特点，由此可知本文应选自科学杂志。故选C项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. (有些果实有一个种子，有些有两个，三个或四个，有些有许多种子。)”可知，果实里有种子，这说明种子受到果实的保护，由此可推知划线单词protected意为“保护”，与D项“guarded(保护)”意思一样，故选D。
D
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register(注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
12. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture
A. Excited. B. Delighted. C. Upset. D. Hopeless.
13. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.
A. it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B. people feel confused due to culture shock
C. foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D. most foreigners are usually quite humorous
14. The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
A. people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B. a fish can not survive without water
C. people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.
D. people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment
15. The biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country is _____.
A. the language B. the transportation C. the environment D. the puzzlement
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是文化冲击。文化冲击体现在语言、习俗、行为等方面
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.（新来的人可能会担心，因为他们不会说这种语言。他们也不知道习俗或了解人们在日常生活中的行为）可推知，由于语言不通、不了解当地的风俗、不理解当地人日常生活中的行为习惯，新来者会感到焦虑、担心。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.（外国人可能不确定什么时候握手，什么时候开始对话，或者如何接近陌生人。文化冲击的概念有助于解释困惑和困惑的感觉）可推知，由于文化冲击，人们常常会感到困惑。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture.（当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时，他或她会感到十分不自在。新来的人有时觉得自己不属于这里的文化，觉得被当地的文化成员抛弃了）可知，作者引用a fish out of water（十分不自在）想要表明远离他们的文化的人会经历精神上的孤独。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的Newcomers may be anxious because they don't speak the language.（新来的人可能会担心，因为他们不会说这种语言）并结合常识可知，在一个新的国家，人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通。故选A。

Yesterday evening I went to the supermarket. When I was about to enter I see an old lady with deformed hands calling me. At the first, I got afraid but then I decided to go ahead and find out that she wanted. She asked me about some money. She said I hadn’t eaten anything since that morning. I gave her some money and she happy went to a food stand and had her food. It made me realize we go shopping without think twice then forget all about it in a few day. However, there are people don’t even have money to get a meal. I hope to spreading kindness to those in need in any way possible.
【答案】
1. see→saw
2. 去掉the
3. that→what
4. about→for
5. I→she
6. happy→happily
7. think→thinking
8. day→days
9. people后加who或者that
10. spreading→spread
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者去超市购物时遇到一个有残疾的女士向他要钱买吃的，他帮助了她。经过这件事，作者希望可以通过任何可行的办法来帮助这样的人。
【详解】1. 考查动词时态。句意：当我正要进去的时候，我看见一个双手畸形的老太太在叫我。分析句子结构可知，see是主句谓语，根据前文的was可知，用一般过去时。故将see改为saw。
2. 考查冠词。句意：起初，我很害怕，但后来我决定继续下去，找出她想要什么。此处是固定搭配：at first意为“起初”，此处序数词前无需加定冠词。故将the去掉。
3. 考查宾语从句。句意：起初，我很害怕，但后来我决定继续下去，找出她想要什么。分析句子结构可知，that引导宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，应该用what引导。故将that改为what。
4. 考查介词。句意：她向我要了些钱。此处是固定搭配：ask sb. for sth.意为“向某人索要某物”。故将about改为for。
5. 考查代词。句意：她说从那天早上起她就没吃过东西。根据句意，此处应是“她说她早上没吃过东西”之意符合语境。故将I改为she。
6. 考查副词。句意：我给了她一些钱，她高兴地去了一个小吃摊吃她的食物。分析句子结构可知，happy修饰后文的动词went，应该用副词修饰。故将happy改为happily。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这让我意识到，我们购物时不加思考，几天后就把它忘得一干二净。think前是介词without，介词后应接名词作宾语，此处应用动名词形式。故将think改为thinking。
8. 考查名词。句意：这让我意识到，我们购物时不加思考，几天后就把它忘得一干二净。day意为“一天”，为可数名词，根据前文的a few可知，应用复数形式。故将day改为days。
9. 考查定语从句。句意：然而，有些人甚至没有钱吃一顿饭。分析句子结构可知，people后的句子是定语从句，修饰先行词people，在从句中作主语，应用that或者who修饰，且不能省略。故在people后加who或者that。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我希望以任何可能的方式向那些需要帮助的人传递善意。分析句子结构可知，spreading前的to是不定式的标志，后接动词原形。故将spreading改为spread。

First, talk with our parents. In order to understand our parents better, we have to spend time talking with them. Second, try to remain calm when our parents have different opinions with us. We’d better listen openly to what they say and accept that they may have reasonable points. Last but not least, make time with our parents. This doesn’t mean just sitting in front of the TV together.

Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.
On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said goodbye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute, sir, ” shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!” Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry, “Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam!I didn’t mean it!”
Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. “It seems that I had a better result than the other four women. ”She thought.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight.
Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most nonflowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air.We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds .When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
8. The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.
A. plants are important for life.
B. plants cannot grow without air.
C. there are many plants in the world .
D. we can not live without water.
9. What can we infer from the passage ________
A. Of all living things animals are most important.
B. Spores are seeds.
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.
D. Without plants, man will die out.
10. This passage may be taken from________.
A. a medicine book. B. a novel.
C. a science magazine. D. an experiment report.
11. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by________.
A. damaged B. serve
C. prevented D. guarded
D
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register(注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
12. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture
A. Excited. B. Delighted. C. Upset. D. Hopeless.
13. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.
A. it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B. people feel confused due to culture shock
C. foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D. most foreigners are usually quite humorous
14. The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
A. people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B. a fish can not survive without water
C. people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.
D. people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment
15. The biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country is _____.
A. the language B. the transportation C. the environment D. the puzzlement
