One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”
The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.
Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with anything in it.” Frank nodded readily. He walked along the paths (小道) and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers for fear that he might break them.
The gardener was very pleased with Frank because the boy was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds (种子) and told him what the flowers and plants were.
While Frank was enjoying the beauty of a flower, another boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden ”
“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit. I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”
Ashamed, the boy walked away slowly.
Seeing this, Frank felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with that which does not belong to him.

【导语】本文主要讲了Frank被允许进入别人的花园而不乱动花园里的东西，而另一个男孩因为进入花园后乱动东西后不再被主人允许进去的故事，从而告诉我们：不要乱动不属于自己的东西。
【21题】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”可知，Frank的愿望是打开花园门并走进去。故选C。

【23题】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Frank’s mother thanked the man.”和“He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers for fear that he might break them.”可知Frank不仅对花园主人礼貌地道谢，而且还在花园玩时细心地不弄触碰、弄断花。故选C。

推理判断题。根据第四段“The gardener was very pleased with Frank because the boy was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds and told him what the flowers and plants were.”和第六段“I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”花园主人对两个男孩的两种不同的态度可知，第五段提起的男生是为了与Frank做对比。故选A。
【25题】
主旨大意题。根据第八段“Seeing this, Frank felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with that which does not belong to him.”可知Frank从他的这段经历中领会到了，一个孩子如果自律一些，不去乱动不属于自己的东西会快乐得的多。故选D。

Cities are often thought of as concrete jungles (混凝土丛林) that are polluted and overcrowded with people. They are, however, places where there is a great economic (经济的) chance, and that is the reason why people still pour into cities in the hope of having a better future for themselves and their families.
As more and more people live in cities, planners are looking for ways to change cities into better living spaces. The way this is done is by improving infrastructure (基础设施) while also creating more public spaces that are both beautiful and green. This can be hard to achieve, especially in cities where planning was done in no order.
Some cities have been created with the idea of a green city as the goal. One such city, Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, is to become a model for other cities to follow. It is being declared as a truly green city that depends on renewable sources (可再生资源) such as solar energy to provide all of its energy needs. In addition, it will be a zero waste city where everything can be reused. Whether it will truly reach its goals remains to be seen, but it will also act as an experiment for environmentally-friendly ideas to be tested.
Cities that want to become greener and more habitable (宜居的) have to look at all ways of city life, and Masdar City is at least trying to do this. From the use of energy and dealing with waste to green public transportation, the lessons to be learned from such a huge project as Masdar city may just turn out to be valuable.
26. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. More people’s living in cities. B. The planners’ looking for new ways.
C. Cities’ changing into better living spaces. D. People’s hoping for a better future.
27. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Reasons for people’s living in cities. B. The example of a green city.
C. The difficulty in planning a city. D. The survey of a green city.
28. What’s the author’s attitude to Masdar City
A. Worried. B. Uncertain. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive.
29. Which is the right structure of the passage （①=paragraph 1, ②=paragraph 2,…）
A. B. C. D.
30. What’s the best title for the passage
A. City Development. B. City Model.
C. Cities Going Green. D. Cities in the future.
【答案】26. C27. B28. D29. A30. C
【解析】

If you’re a runner, you know it can sometimes be a little difficult to find a good place to run when you are on vacation. Maybe you’re staying in a city, and there is no park nearby where you can take your morning running. One of the more recent trends (趋势) is to go on a running tour, but you are not leading the way. Rather, a running lover who knows the best routes (路线) in the city acts as your guide. You are going out for a run, but you are also being shown the best parts of the city while you’re doing it.
Guided running tours seem to be a very popular trend in quite a few of the bigger cities in Italy. Rome, Milan, and Florence are three of the major cities with running tours. They offer these tours for individuals (个人), groups, and even for company events. If you are going into a city with colleagues (同事) to attend a business meeting, what better way is there to see the city and network with others than while taking a healthy run.
Running tours do not follow a single set route. In Rome, for example, runners get to choose from ten different routes in different parts of the city. In addition, they can have personalized (私人定制化的) routes to satisfy their different panies that give these tours offer to pick up the runners at their hotels, bring them to where the run starts, and provide water and a camera for the run. All the runners need to do is to put on their running shoes and they’re set to go!
46. Who is the passage written for
_________________________________________.（10个词以内）
47. Many cities in Italy like Rome, Milan and Florence set a good example for other cities in _________________________________________. （10个词以内）
48. If a business man and his colleague who love running, visit Rome, they can see _________________________________________ while taking a healthy run.（10个词以内）
49. If you want companies to bring you to where the run starts and provide water for the run, which running routes will you choose
_________________________________________.（6个词以内）

English Club will organize students interested in English to take part in all kinds of activities monthly to practice English listening, speaking, reading and writing. As for monthly activities, I plan to divide students into some groups. Each group shares some interesting materials about a certain topic and prepares interesting tasks about listening, speaking, reading or writing to add fun to our English learning.
I do hope you find my idea helpful and that I, as an outgoing boy/girl, will be one of organizers for the English club.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了可以了解城市的导游跑步旅游。
【46题】
根据“If you’re a runner, you know it can sometimes be a little difficult to find a good place to run when you are on vacation...”可知本文是写给那些度假时想要跑步的跑步爱好者。故填Runners who want to turn on their vacations./People who are interested in running and traveling./Running lovers.
【47题】
根据“Guided running tours seem to be a very popular trend in quite a few of the bigger cities in Italy. Rome, Milan, and Florence are three of the major cities with running tours. They offer these tours for individuals (个人), groups, and even for company events.”可知导游跑步游似乎是一种非常流行的趋势，罗马、米兰和佛罗伦萨是有巡回演出的三个主要城市，他们为个人、团体甚至公司活动提供这些旅行，介词in后加动名词。故填offering running tours for individuals, groups and company events。
【48题】
根据“If you are going into a city with colleagues (同事) to attend a business meeting, what better way is there to see the city and network with others than while taking a healthy run”可知如果你和同事一起去一个城市参加商务会议，可以了解这个城市并与他人建立联系。故填the city and network with others。
【49题】
根据“ they can have personalized (私人定制化的) routes to satisfy their different panies that give these tours offer to pick up the runners at their hotels, bring them to where the run starts, and provide water and a camera for the run”可知他们可以有个性化的路线来满足他们的不同需求，提供这些旅行的公司提供在酒店接跑步者，把他们带到跑步开始的地方，并为跑步提供水和相机。故填Personalized routes.
【50题】
本文主要介绍了可以了解城市的导游跑步旅游，所以文章是号召跑步者跑步旅游来了解一个城市，动词不定式符号to后加动词原形。故填take a guided run tour to know a city/put on their running shoes and run/experiencing running tours。

One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”
The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.
Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with anything in it.” Frank nodded readily. He walked along the paths (小道) and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers for fear that he might break them.
The gardener was very pleased with Frank because the boy was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds (种子) and told him what the flowers and plants were.
While Frank was enjoying the beauty of a flower, another boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden ”
“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit. I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”
Ashamed, the boy walked away slowly.
Seeing this, Frank felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with that which does not belong to him.
21. What’s Frank’s wish
A. To grow plants. B. To get seeds.
C. To visit the garden. D. To talk with the gardener.

Cities are often thought of as concrete jungles (混凝土丛林) that are polluted and overcrowded with people. They are, however, places where there is a great economic (经济的) chance, and that is the reason why people still pour into cities in the hope of having a better future for themselves and their families.
As more and more people live in cities, planners are looking for ways to change cities into better living spaces. The way this is done is by improving infrastructure (基础设施) while also creating more public spaces that are both beautiful and green. This can be hard to achieve, especially in cities where planning was done in no order.
Some cities have been created with the idea of a green city as the goal. One such city, Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, is to become a model for other cities to follow. It is being declared as a truly green city that depends on renewable sources (可再生资源) such as solar energy to provide all of its energy needs. In addition, it will be a zero waste city where everything can be reused. Whether it will truly reach its goals remains to be seen, but it will also act as an experiment for environmentally-friendly ideas to be tested.
Cities that want to become greener and more habitable (宜居的) have to look at all ways of city life, and Masdar City is at least trying to do this. From the use of energy and dealing with waste to green public transportation, the lessons to be learned from such a huge project as Masdar city may just turn out to be valuable.
26. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. More people’s living in cities. B. The planners’ looking for new ways.
C. Cities’ changing into better living spaces. D. People’s hoping for a better future.
27. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Reasons for people’s living in cities. B. The example of a green city.
C. The difficulty in planning a city. D. The survey of a green city.
28. What’s the author’s attitude to Masdar City
A. Worried. B. Uncertain. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive.
29. Which is the right structure of the passage （①=paragraph 1, ②=paragraph 2,…）
A. B. C. D.
30What’s the best title for the passage
A. City Development. B. City Model.
C. Cities Going Green. D. Cities in the future.

If you’re a runner, you know it can sometimes be a little difficult to find a good place to run when you are on vacation. Maybe you’re staying in a city, and there is no park nearby where you can take your morning running. One of the more recent trends (趋势) is to go on a running tour, but you are not leading the way. Rather, a running lover who knows the best routes (路线) in the city acts as your guide. You are going out for a run, but you are also being shown the best parts of the city while you’re doing it.
Guided running tours seem to be a very popular trend in quite a few of the bigger cities in Italy. Rome, Milan, and Florence are three of the major cities with running tours. They offer these tours for individuals (个人), groups, and even for company events. If you are going into a city with colleagues (同事) to attend a business meeting, what better way is there to see the city and network with others than while taking a healthy run.
Running tours do not follow a single set route. In Rome, for example, runners get to choose from ten different routes in different parts of the city. In addition, they can have personalized (私人定制化的) routes to satisfy their different panies that give these tours offer to pick up the runners at their hotels, bring them to where the run starts, and provide water and a camera for the run. All the runners need to do is to put on their running shoes and they’re set to go!
