Ⅰ.阅读理解
“I love you” might be one of the most important combinations in the English language.It’s the signal that a romantic relationship is serious,an indication of closeness for a sibling(兄弟姐妹),parent,or child.But the way it’s used in China might be a little different.
The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral(火了起来) in China.The first shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them.The responses are mixed.“Are you drunk?” asked one parent.In another similar video,a father responded even less politely—“I am going to a meeting,so cut__the__crap.”
Even the positive reactions make it clear that the words are expressed rarely:“I am so happy you called to say that,it is the happiest thing that happened to me,” one parent answered.
This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul- searching about familiar love—last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if they said “I love you” to their parents,spouses(爱人),and children.“I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family,and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old told the paper.“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”
Still,that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed.In a separate article,China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng,a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face to face.She said,“I find it a bit odd.”Mrs.Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays.The pictures went viral online,being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.
“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention.“I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”
【语篇解读】 “I love you”恐怕是英语中最重要的单词组合之一。在很多场合,人们都会自然吐露这三个词。然而在中国,“我爱你”这三个字的遭遇却大不相同。
1.What did the father want to express by using the underlined words?
A.Make a long story short!
B.Just shut up!
C.Talk about it later!
D.Forget about it!
答案 A [推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“But the way it’s used in China might be a little different”可知,“我爱你”这句话在中国的用法可能有点儿不同。紧接着,在第二段中作者举了两个例子。在第一个例子中,家长的反应是“你喝醉了?”在第二个例子中,作者用了“even less politely”(甚至更加不礼貌),再结合这位父亲前半句说的“I am going to a meeting”可推知,这位父亲想表达的意思是“长话短说”。]
2.What can we learn from the two online videos?
A.Chinese children hate saying the three words to their parents.
B.Many Chinese parents respond strangely to the three words.
C.The three words become more and more popular in China.
D.Chinese people are rather slow in understanding others.
答案 B [细节理解题。结合文章第二、三段对两段网络视频的介绍可知,很多中国父母对孩子对他们说“我爱你”的反应很奇怪。]
3.What does the example of Zhao Mengmeng show?
A.Microblog is the best way to express oneself.
B.It is a fashion to express love on microblog.
C.Love can be expressed in other ways.
D.It is hard to express love in public.
答案 C [推理判断题。作者在文章中举赵女士的例子就是为了佐证第五段的主题句“Still,that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed”,也就是为了说明可以用其他方式表达爱。]
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The words “I love you” are rarely used in China.
B.Chinese people refuse to express their love to others.
C.Chinese people use different ways to express their love.
D.The words “I love you” result in misunderstanding in China.
答案 A [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,这篇文章主要讲的是“我爱你”这三个字在中国很少被使用。]

Ⅲ.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the summer of 1848,in Guatemala,a man called Ambrosio Tut went into the jungle,as he did almost every day.Tut was a gum-collector (树胶采集者),__25__(look) for gum in the jungle.To do this,he had to climb the trees.__26__ this particular day,he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eyes.He looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old __27__ (build).
Tut didn’t really know what he had seen but he knew it was something __28__(specially).He ran to tell the local governor,and together they __29__(walk) into the jungle.There they found Tikal(蒂卡尔),temples and pyramids,squares and houses,and places __30__ kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region.
For a long time before that day,local people __31__(know) that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city,__32__ no one had seen it for centuries.Between 200 and 900 A.D.,the city of Tikal had been the center of Mayan civilization in the region,but then the Mayans left there—nobody knows why!After 1000 A.D.,the jungle began to cover it and people forgot that it was there.
Seven years before Tut looked out for the trees,two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle,but they didn’t mention Tikal.Even __33__(early)than this,local Indians had told European travelers about a great city __34__(hide) in the trees,but no one would listen to them.Now the lost city had been found again,and archaeologists (考古学家) went there immediately to see it.
【语篇解读】 1848年的一个夏日,图特像往常一样进入丛林、爬上树采树胶,在一棵树顶端,他看到一些旧建筑的屋顶,原来这里就是玛雅人统治这片区域的遗址——蒂卡尔。
25.looking [考查非谓语动词。空前为完整的句子,因此此处填非谓语动词,Tut与look为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。]
26.On [考查介词。表示在具体的某一天,用介词on。]
27.buildings [考查词性转换及名词复数。根据句意可知,此处指“一些建筑物”,some后接复数名词,故填buildings。]
28.special [考查词性转换。用形容词作后置定语,修饰不定代词something。]
29.walked [考查动词时态。上下文都在描述过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。]
30.where [考查定语从句。所填词引导定语从句,修饰先行词places,表地点,定语从句中缺少地点状语,故填where。]
31.had known [根据上文提示词before that day可知,此处指在那一天之前,表过去的过去,故用过去完成时。]
32.but [考查连词。句意:在那天前的很长一段时间以来,当地人知道在丛林中的某处有一座古老的玛雅城,但是,几百年以来,没有人看见过。前后分句之间为转折关系,故填转折连词but。]
33.earlier [考查形容词比较级。由空后的than可知要用比较级。]
34.hidden [考查非谓语动词。句子主干为local Indians had told European travelers,句中不缺谓语,因此填非谓语动词;hide与city之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语,表示“一座被隐藏在丛林中的城市”。]
