应用文范文:
Dear Mike,
Knowing that you’re interested in Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to take part in the coming celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, in which you can have fun and learn more.
As one of Chinese traditional festivals, Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in memory of a famous poet in Chinese history, Qu Yuan. Diverse activities will be held to celebrate this festival. For example, we can go to watch Dragon Boat Race, which is supposed to be quite exciting. After that, we will go back to my home to have lunch where you can taste rice dumplings, and you can learn how to make them in the afternoon.
Please accept my invitation. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写范文:
That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. With mixed feelings, he had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new cellphone which had been his dream, but he couldn’t help feeling sorry for the owner. As soon as he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he would be full of guilt and shame. Therefore, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the lady. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone and a lady’s voice was heard. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone I’m Keith, can you come and get it ”The lady replied “Yes” in an excited voice, expressing her thanks repeatedly. Then they decided to meet at the cafe where she lost the phone. Ten minutes later, the lady appeared to take the phone. Overwhelmed by gratitude, she warmly hugged Mary and Keith and took a photo with them. Whenever Keith saw the smiling faces in the picture, he felt it’s a reminder that honesty was indeed the best policy.

Text 10 (194词) 缺少睡眠
M: Hello, everybody. I’ m Reid. Today I will discuss the effect of sleep on school students. Firstly, whether a lack of sleep affects teenagers The answer is “Yes”. Many teenagers are getting little sleep and there are concerns that this could have a serious long-term effect on their body health and spirits, but we aren’t sure about that now. However, one study has clearly shown that high school students getting low grades also get on average one hour less sleep than students getting high grades. Then why aren’t teenagers getting enough sleep I think they spend too much time on TV and computer games. So how can teenagers fall asleep easier Well, don’t have any soft drinks or any drink that contain chocolate before sleeping. Reading a book or listening to a story, rather than music, should help your brain to relax. It would be better for schools to stay open longer so that pupils can do homework before they get home. Another thing that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later and end the school day half an hour later, and I really recommend that.
【阅读理解】A篇

21.根据Tall Trees一节 “Readers will also love remembering Tony Frederick’s playful poetry about the animals of the forest”, 故选D。

It was written in a letter format (格式), thanking Earth for so many great natural moments. (这本书的作者,April Pulley Sayre,写过很多获奖的书,这本书真的很特别。它是以信件的形式写的,感谢地球给了我们这么多伟大的自然时刻)”可知,最后一本书的特色是使用了书信格式。故选B。
【阅读理解】B篇
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍创作了70多本儿童读物的作家埃里克·卡尔,他的生动、富有创意、色彩丰富的作品深受世界各地儿童的喜爱。
24.推理判断题。根据第二段 “As he grew up, Eric spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small living things, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Eric thought this helped explain why so many of his books are about nature, bugs and animals”可知,他小时候经常和父亲在一起,父亲带他亲近自然, 这让他以后的书都是关于自然、昆虫和动物的。故选C。
25.词义猜测题。根据划线处上文“After author Bill Martin Jr. saw a drawing that Eric had done in the paper,(小比尔·马丁看到埃里克在论文中画的一幅画后)”可知,马丁请埃里克为他的书作画,由此可知划线词意为“给书添加插图”。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段 “The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit, which also made Eric popular”再根据第二段 “Eric Carle was born in New York in 1929.(埃里克·卡尔1929年出生于纽约)”可知,Eric Carle是在快要接近40岁时出名的,故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun, welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both attractive and fun”可知,卡尔先生给孩子们写书是想让他们知道,学习真的很有吸引力,也很有趣,即为了鼓励他们学习。故选C。
【阅读理解】C篇
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了中国传统节日七夕节面临的困境,如公众对其冷漠,同时指出应重视传统节日的文化意义,避免传统节日形式化,保持其文化内涵。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段 “The cold attitude has made cultural experts seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), is dying out”可知,公众对七夕节的冷漠态度让专家担心这个自汉代就有的节日正在消失。故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段 “Some have even called for legislation (立法) to make the festival a legal Chinese Lovers’ Day, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year. But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals deserve high praise”可知,有人呼吁将七夕节立法成为法定的中国情人节,但这种措施的效果令人怀疑,尽管保护传统节日的努力值得称赞,故选A。
30.推理判断题。第三段提到 “Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed. If the younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done”可知,如果年轻一代不能欣赏这些节日的文化意义,那也没什么办法,可推理出对传统节日意义的认知仍有待加强,故选C。
31.推理判断题。文章最后一段指出 “In fact, what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is a unique culture that contributes to the globalization with diversity”可知,使传统节日独特并使其延续的是它们的文化元素,可推理出作者写本文的目的是提醒我们文化因素使传统节日得以延续,故选A。
【阅读理解】D篇
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述受传统观念影响,和男性相比,从事STEM行业的女性数量较少,并在最后一段提出一些解决方式。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段“The idea that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering starts as young as age six, according to a new study. That may be one reason why girls and women are underrepresented in these STEM professional fields.”和第二段“The traditional idea that STEM is for boys begins in primary and junior school, and by the time they reach high school, many girls have made their decision not to go after degrees in computer science and engineering because they don’t think they belong to the fields.” 可知,很少女性工作在STEM领域的主要原因是“女性不属于这一领域”的传统观念影响。故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Most children believed girls had less interest than boys in key STEM fields. Specifically, 63% of the students believed girls were less interested in engineering than boys were, while 9% believed girls were more interested in the subject. Regarding computer science, 71% thought girls had less interest while 14% thought girls had more interest than boys. ”可知,对于工程学和计算机科学,大部分人认为女孩的兴趣不如男生。故选D项。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Researchers say educators, parents and policymakers can help close these sex gaps by introducing girls to high quality computer science and engineering activities in elementary school before traditional ideas take root. They also suggest educators who wish to improve girls’ interest in STEM should consider using inclusive programs designed to encourage girls’ sense of belonging in STEM. (研究人员表示,在传统观念扎根之前,教育工作者、家长和决策者可以在小学向女孩介绍高质量的计算机科学和工程学活动,从而帮助缩小性别差距。他们还建议那些希望提高女生对STEM的兴趣的教育者,应该考虑使用包容性项目来鼓励女生在STEM中的归属感。)”可知,为了缩小STEM行业的男女差距,要开展相关活动,逐步鼓励与引导女性对这个行业的兴趣。故选A项。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The idea that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering starts as young as age six, according to a new study. That may be one reason why girls and women are underrepresented in these STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professional fields. ”以及最后一段“It’s time for all to be united in sending the message that girls can enjoy STEM just as much as boys do, which will help draw them into STEM activities.

From learning about protecting wild animals and natural habitats to reading about the effects of
recycling, books are perfect for showing people how to get involved. Here are four of such books.

Bethany Stahl has a whole series of “Save the...” books, and they all have great lessons for readers.

B
Eric Carle, the author of over 70 books for children, passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively,
creative, and colorful works have been loved by children around the world. “The Very Hungry
Caterpillar” is Mr. Carle’s best-known book.
Eric Carle was born in New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he grew up, Eric spent a
lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small
living things, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Eric thought
this helped explain why so many of his books are about nature, bugs and animals.
When Eric was 6, the family moved back to Germany because his mother missed her home. Life
in Germany was unbelievably sad and difficult for Eric and his family during World War Ⅱ. After the
war, Eric studied art in school.

The Qixi Festival, the Chinese equivalent (等同于) of Valentine’s Day that fell yesterday, was not
only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets.
The cold attitude has made cultural experts seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for
generations since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), is dying out. Some have even called for legislation
(立法) to make the festival a legal Chinese Lovers’ Day, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh
month of the lunar year. But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve
traditional festivals deserve high praise.
A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-
Autumn Festival, share the same fate as the Qixi Festival. Young people are showing less interest in
traditional culture as symbolized by these festivals. Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal,
the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed. If the
younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can
be done.
While complaining about traditional festivals fading in appeal, decision-makers should reflect on
cultural protection. Undeniably, our country has done a bad job of preserving culture and traditional
festivals, compared to neighboring Japan and Korea. Only a few years ago did China begin to realize
the significance of preserving intangible (非物质) cultural heritage when Korea planned to apply to
UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) to list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example
of intangible culture.
Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign
cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world. With traditional festivals becoming less
important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public,
including cultural professionals, has tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms.
How much money can be made during the holidays is taken into consideration.
In fact, what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements.
After all, it is a unique culture that contributes to the world’s diversity with globalization.
28.What makes Chinese cultural experts worry that the lovers’ festival is dying out A.
The disappointment for both businessmen and lovers.
B. The ignorance of the public to the Qixi Festival.
C. The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal.
D. The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals.
29. What’s the public’s attitude towards the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival
A. doubtful B. favorable
C. indifferent D. hopeful
30.From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ______.
A. traditional festivals are celebrated by more young people
B. legal celebrations reduce the risk of the disappearance of traditional culture
C. the significance of traditional festivals should be better recognized
D. young people value traditional culture but they can do little
31.The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ______.
A. remind us that the cultural factors make traditional festivals live on
B. complain that Japan and Korea do a better job of preserving culture
C. inform the public of the importance of the globalization
D. warn people against the business role in celebrating traditional festivals
D
The idea that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering starts as
young as age six, according to a new study. That may be one reason why girls and women are
underrepresented in these STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professional
fields.
The traditional idea that STEM is for boys begins in primary and junior school, and by the time
they reach high school, many girls have made their decision not to go after degrees in computer science
and engineering because they don’t think they belong (属于) to the fields.
Researchers surveyed nearly 2,500 students from the 1st to 12th grade with different racial and
social backgrounds. Most children believed girls had less interest than boys in key STEM fields.
Specifically, 63% of the students believed girls were less interested in engineering than boys were, while
9% believed girls were more interested in the subject. Regarding computer science, 71% thought girls
had less interest while 14% thought girls had more interest than boys.
These interest styles play out in the job market. According to the official statistics (数据) of the
US, while women make up nearly half of the workforce, they account for only 25% of computer
scientists and 15% of engineers.
The laboratory experiments gave children a choice between computer science activities. Fewer
girls (only 35%) chose a computer science activity they believed boys were more interested in, compared
to the 65% of girls who chose an activity in which they believed boys and girls were equally interested.
It’s time for all to be united in sending the message that girls can enjoy STEM just as much as boys
do, which will help draw them into STEM activities. Researchers say educators, parents and
policymakers can help close these sex gaps (差距) by introducing girls to high quality computer science
and engineering activities in elementary school before traditional ideas take root. They also suggest
educators who wish to improve girls’ interest in STEM should consider using inclusive programs
designed to encourage girls’sense of belonging in STEM.
32.Why do fewer women work in STEM fields A.
They all prefer higher-paid jobs.
B. They aren’t good at learning STEM.
C. They are influenced by traditional ideas.
D. They are not fit for working in the fields.
33.What do most students surveyed think of school girls A.
Girls can learn STEM better.
B. Girls have difficulty learning STEM.
C. Girls pay too much attention to STEM.
D. Girls are less interested in STEM than boys.
34.What does the author suggest to close sex gaps in STEM fields A.
Encouraging and guiding girls to learn STEM.
B. Limiting the number of boys learning STEM.
C. Offering awards to girls learning STEM.
D. Drawing girls to give up other fields except for STEM.
35.What is the text mainly about
A. Sex gaps in STEM fields. B. Features of STEM fields.
C. The importance of STEM. D. Students’interest in STEM.

The Guide to Keeping Your Dorm(宿舍) Room Clean
In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms. 36 As a result,
everybody’s business is nobody’s business. Read through this guide to keeping your dorm room clean.
Have a cleaning routine(常规). With a cleaning routine in place, you will always tidy up your room
at a particular time often. If you can, sweep up your room every day in the morning. You can also do it
every other day. 37 Doing this can make the process harder during exam time. In addition, you can take
turns cleaning if you have a roommate.
38 The quickest way of making a dorm room dirty and unorganized is to throw clothes
everywhere. Never throw dirty clothes on the bed or the floor. They will quickly fill your room up.
Rather, you should keep your dirty clothes in a basket and clean ones in your closet.
Have a study plan. Being a student does not mean living without a plan. Therefore, having a study
plan helps you stay in control of your study life 39 As a result, you are better able to clean your room if
your life is organized.

第二节 (满分 25 分) 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一
篇完整的短文。
One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home.
They had to share their table with another person, who was a young lady in her twenties. After eating,
the lady went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes
later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the lady left behind her
cellphone.” Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the
market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You
can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing one
very word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother,
“You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he
took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling hands. Inside his room, he took out
that phone. Oh, he liked it so much, now, he had his own cellphone! Soon, he was polishing it happily.
But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this He
will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary
said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest ”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This must be the lady’s
phone number. Why don’t we just call her We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back
her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him, but Keith just kept silent. 注意:续写
