Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning,and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat-and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(农村的)and urban areas within one country.
Sharing bread,whether during a special occasion(时刻)or at the family dinner table,is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread,so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States,pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺)in the New Year.In Greece,people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put
into the cake,which signifies(预示)success in the New Year for the person who receives it.
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child,and food can play a significant role.In China,when a baby is one month old,families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests.In many cultures,round foods such as grapes,bread,and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.
Nutrition is necessary for life,so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。
文章讲述了食物在交际方面起着重要的作用,共享食物可增强人们彼此间的团结与信任,某些特殊食物也是节日的象征。

(2016·河北衡水高三联考)I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me.Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure;it is work. Pick up the phone.Send an e -mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it,
completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

(2016·哈尔滨六中高三上期末)Pilling a cat can be a “terrible” experience. Cats don't want something pushed down their throats, and they'll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it's amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won't eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat's mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you're right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don't feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat's head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw
a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了给猫喂药丸的几种方法。
44.Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ________.
A.are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B.may fight with all their strength against pills
C.refuse something pressed down their throats
D.are difficult to treat once they've got ill
【解析】细节理解题。
根据第一段第二句Cats don't want something pushed down their throats, and they'll fight with all their strength to prevent it.可知猫一般不会压低喉咙,这样会很难喂药丸。
【答案】 C
45.What can be inferred according to the second paragraph?
A.Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B.Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C.The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D.Cats are probably interested in something new.
【解析】推理判断题。
根据第二段最后一句If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.可知猫有可能会对新的事情产生兴趣。
【答案】 D
46.Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ________ if you're left -handed.
A.facing to the right
B.with your right hand
C.at the head
D.on your lap firmly
【解析】推理判断题。
根据第三段中的Have your cat facing to the right if you're right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head.可知惯用右手的人用左手控制住猫,所以左撇子要用右手。
【答案】 B
47.A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ________.

B.it is touched by fingers
C.its head is turning around

Researchers in Hungary have confirmed something many dog owners have long suspected: that canines understand our feelings.
Using a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, or MRI, scientists found that when it comes to emotions, dogs' brains are similar to those of humans. Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment, but with a little petting and lots of treats they can be trained to sit still even in an MRI scanner. That's how researchers in Hungary's ELTE University were able to get images of their brains at work.
Research fellow Attila Andics says it helped them better understand the dogs' relationship with h umans. “We have known for a long t ime that dogs and humans share similar social environment, but now our results show that dogs and humans also have similar brain mechanisms(大脑机制)to process social information,”said Andics.
After training 11 dogs to stay motionless while their brains were scanned, the researchers checked their neurological(神经系统的)responses to about 200 emotionally significant sounds, from whining and crying to playful barking and laughing. They then compared the responses from human subjects. They found striking similarities.
Andics says it opens new possibilities for research. “It establishes a foundation of a new branch of comparative neuroscience, because until now it was not possible to measure the brain activities of a non-primate(非人灵长类动物)and the primate brain in a single experiment,” said Andics.
And what that tells ordinary dog owners, the Hungarian scientists say, is to treat your canine companions as friends, not mere animals, because they evidently understand human feelings.
【语篇解读】本文主要通过科学实验表明:狗是通人性的,和人们一样具有各种感情。

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
The best of friends
There are obvious evidences that some families may not be harmonious.But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is contrary to the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families,” said one memb er of the research team.“They're expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well.There's more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children,and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process.They don't want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents
of 30 years ago to treat their chil dren as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall.“I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing.As long as they know what I'm doing,they're fine with it.” Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example,as long as I'd done all my homework,I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents t han that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of teenager rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments,“Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were looked on as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
The best of friends

请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
When we read newspapers,we often come across such English words as “AIDS”and “PK”.When we watch TV,we frequently hear words like “NBA” or “PM2.5”.When we speak,we automatically use words like “OUT” or “Bye-bye”.English words and expressions like these are getting popular.They have already become part of our daily language.And 239 English words have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.
The inclusion has started a heated discussion.A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint over the inclusion of these English words,which,they think,goes against Chinese language policies.They not only worry that Chinese is borrowing an increasing number of English words but are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of the Chinese language.However,others are in favor of the inclusion because is hard to say whether it will threaten the Chinese language.They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function and use in daily life.

赞成:
Today,more and more English words find their way into the Chinese language.Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words.Some people support it while others do not.
Generally,I am in favour of the inclusion.As the number of English learners is on the rise,it's not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts.Besides,it is,on some occasions,more convenient to use English words.Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its translation “xinxi jishu”. In our global village,we can see that it's not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages.In English,there are many words borrowed from Latin,French,or even Chinese.In fact,Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages,say,“ganbu” or “mi nzhu” from Japanese.
So,it's safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English words which facilitates daily communication.
反对:
With English words getting popular in both media and daily life,a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them,leaving the public divided into two opposing groups:“For”and “Against.”
I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons.Firstly,this inclusion has actually polluted our mother tongue.Sooner or later,many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones.And,rules don't tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “Wi-Fi” and “Out” in a Chinese way! Secondly,such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English.Just for one illustration,while college students take “Bye-bye” for granted when parting from each other,it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian”.
In short,not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese,it may also bring about distance between the Chinese people.。
