Unexpected but Good
What a fine day! Mansor was sure that he would see his birthday present on the dining table. It had been like
this for the past 15 years. Whatever happened, his parents would place the present next to his glass of milk on that
day. He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted, and even silently put a picture of the mobile
phone into his mother's handbag. It was impossible that she didn't get the message.
To his surprise, there was nothing on the table this time. The family gave morning wishes to each other asusual and talked as if there was nothing special about the day. His mother only reminded him to clear his writing
table.
Mansor quickly ran out of the house as he did not want his parents to see he was sad that they had forgotten
his birthday! He would feel better if he joined his friends at the Old People's Home. As he did not want to stay
around the house any longer, he got into the first taxi he saw. He was still sad while he was in it.
He got down from the taxi and realized how fine the weather was. The sun was shining brightly as if to give
him joy. The chirping of the birds lightened his heart. He walked with a spring in his steps to Old People's Home.
As he looked around, he saw people laughing and enjoying themselves. These old people didn't get much care or
attention from their busy children, yet they were happy. Why should he be sad? A mobile phone was not quite a big
deal after all.
Then he decided to go home. After getting home, he started to tidy his table, knowing that his mother expected
him to do so. Wait! What's this? An air ticket to Pulau Redang (热浪岛) for a scuba diving course! "The mobile
phone is nice, but we prefer that you learn something rather than have the latest mobile phone.
Hope you will like our present."
With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should have known that his parents would never forget his
birthday.
24. What did Mansor do to get the present he wanted?
A. He talked to his parents. B. He gave hints to his parents.
C. He carefully cleaned his table. D. He paid a visit to his good friends.
25. After seeing those old people, Mansor___________.
A. felt their life was so boring B. realized he shouldn't be sad
C. wanted to offer help to them D. hoped to get another present
26. What can we learn from the story?
A. Mansor liked the birthday present. B. Mansor knew his parents very well.
C. Mansor's parents would buy a new gift. D. Mansor's parents would say sorry to him.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A
【解析】
短文主要讲述Mansor未能像往年一样收到父母送的生日礼物而难过。Mansor带着难过的心情来到了敬老
院。在敬老院,他看到快乐的老人后,心生感触,心情也开朗了。等他回到家中,他发现其实父母给他的
生日礼物是一个学习课程。尽管这不是他想要的手机,但是他还是很高兴。最后,他也明白其实他的父母并没有忘记他的生日。
【24题详解】
句意:Mansor做什么来获取他想要的礼物?
细节理解题。A.他和他的父母交谈。B.他暗示他的父母。C.他认真地打算他的桌子。D.他看望他的好朋友。
短文第一段第五句说:He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted, and even silently put a
picture of the mobile phone into his mother's handbag.(他对自己真正想要的东西给出了各种暗示,他甚至还
在母亲的手提包里悄悄地放了一张手机照片。)由此可知,Mansor暗示他的父母他真正想要什么礼物。故
选B。
【25题详解】
句意:看到那些老人后,Mansor意识到他不应该难过。
推理判断题。A.觉得他们的生活很无聊、B.意识到他不应该难过。C.想要主动帮助他们。D.希望得到另一
份礼物。短文第四段最后两句表明Mansor看到那些老人后的心理活动:Why should he be sad? A mobile
phone was not quite a big deal after all.(他为什么要难过?毕竟,一部手机真不是什么大事。)由此可推测,
Mansor看到那些老人后意识到他不应该难过。
【26题详解】
句意:我们能从这个故事中学到什么?
推理判断题。A. Mansor喜欢生日礼物。B. Mansor非常了解他的父母。C. Mansor的父母会买一份新礼物。
DMansor的父母会向他道歉。短文倒数第一段说,With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should
have known that his parents would never forget his birthday.(看到父母送的生日礼物后)Mansor流下了兴奋的
眼泪,并意识到他本应该知道父母绝不会忘记他的生日。由此可判断,Mansor喜欢父母送的生日礼物,而
他却不知道父母其实是不会忘记他的生日的。所以A项描述正确,B项描述不正确,而文中也未提及C、D
项内容。故选A。

The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office
When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I couldn't
always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus
to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal(校长).
Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff. Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man.
When he spanked(打屁股) me for putting some ants into a classmate's pencil box, it didn't hurt at all, but it did hurt
my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.
When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff's office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed
as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I
expected to hear, "Kevin, I've heard you've been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of
you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint."
"Really?" I was surprised. "Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class."
I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged(吹嘘) to
my classmates about my turn around, excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.
Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He
bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave
me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.

The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land
masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though
the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the
Earth is not as permanent (永久 的) as we had thought.
Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge
ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth's outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from
below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.
.
Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine
Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The
revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents-a science called plate
tectonics.
The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One,
Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when
he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. Heproposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.
Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers
thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America
and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did
not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.
B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.
C. Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.
D. We didn't see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.
34. The last word of the third paragraph "tectonics" means" "______".
A. study of building B. study of the earth structure
C. study of the earth surface D. study of designing
35. What did the explorers find?
A. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.
B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.
C. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.
.
D The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.
【答案】33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
本文讲述了地球不是一成不变的,地球的表面总是在移动,和板块构造学的故事。魏格纳观察到南美洲和
非洲的海岸线可以像拼图中的两块一样拼合在一起时,提出了大陆漂移学说。
【33题详解】
细节判断题。根据第 4 段第 3 句“… he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit
together like two pieces of a puzzle.”可知“南美洲和非洲的海岸线可以像拼图中的两块一样拼合在一起。不
是‘印度和非洲的海岸线可以拼合在一起’”,故A错误;本文没有提到“我们古代认为地球表面是静止
的。”可知B错误;根据第5段最后一句“What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate
the idea that the continents move.”可知“阿尔弗雷德.魏格纳是第一个提出大陆漂移学说的人”,故 C错误;
根据第段第 1 和 2 句“The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball
covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before.”可知“直到我们看到在太空中拍摄的照片,我们才从很远的地方看到地球。”故D正确,选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。study of building建筑研究;study of the earth structure地球结构研究;study of the earth surface
地表研究;study of designing设计研究。根据此句“The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study
the movement of the continents—a science called plate tectonics.(这场革命是以研究大陆运动的科学家的工作
为基础的—一门叫做板块构造学的科学。)”句意可知"tectonics"意思是“地球结构研究”,故选B。
【35题详解】
细节题。根据第5段第3句“The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit
almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa.(探险家们注意到,北美和南美的东海岸几乎与
欧洲和南非的西海岸完全吻合。)”可知“探险家们发现北美的东海岸和欧洲的西海岸可以结合在一
起。”故选A。
第II卷笔试部分
The Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (联盟) in America every year.
The champion of the National FootballConference (NFC) competes against the champion of the American Football
Conference (AFC) to decide which is the best team in the country. Super Bowl is far more than a sporting event.
The mix of America’s biggest instituti ons (体系):sports, TV, food consumption, advertising and entertainment
makes the Super Bowl an American cultural phenomenon.
The Super Bowl is usually held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February. That day is
called Super Bowl Sunday. For years, it has been the most watched one-day sporting event in the US and it
gradually has become an unofficial national holiday. The average viewing rate of Super Bowl reached to 44.9
percent in 2019.
Super Bowl Sunday sees more parties than any other day during the year. Young people are no exception to the
party spirit. They gather to watch the game on TV. The Super Bowl is the third biggest eating day in America —
behind Christmas and Thanksgiving. Fans host Super Bowl parties by filling their living rooms with junk food and
drinks. Guests may arrive dressed in their team’s T-shirt and carrying beer to share.
Knowing that the Super Bowl has the attention of millions of Americans, companies pay big money for game-
time advertising. In 2019, the advertising cost set a record — $5.3 million for 30 seconds. The Super Bowl has
developed to a T V selling season sandwiched between after-Christmas sales and Valentine’s Day.
Another tradition of the Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, which presents at the halftime break between thesecond and third quarters. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the most-watched musical event of the year. So it
is also called the Americans’ Spring Festival Gala. Non-football fans tune (调台) into the Super Bowl for the most
famous musicians’ performances during halftime. As the top performers, Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi gave
impressive live show for the audience in the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2019. The show represents a link between
American football and pop culture and helps broaden the television audience and nationwide interest.
Americans view the Super Bowl as a National Day of revelry ( 狂欢).Although people may watch it for
different reasons, there is one thing for sure they can find their own pleasure in it.
