【解析】
W: Hello, Mr. Jan Erick Friedman. You’re a frequent traveler. And we also know that you eat out twice a day. How come you are so fond of eating out?
M: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started traveling, I had no other choice but to eat out. I
found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality of the food and how well the food was prepared. I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.
W: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?
M: I have lived in many cities, and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish Club’s magazine, and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together. Since I had all the facts about the restaurants I had been to, I started to do that.
W: How do you find restaurants?
M: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to people at a street market or take a walk and look for a place myself. I never ask a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go to empty restaurants or places with menus difficult to understand.

Four streets lead to the Plaza which have wide sidewalks and are tree-lined. Hernandez Street which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets, and vegetable stands. Fernando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally, we come to Horatio Street, on which there are two universities. One of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it is my favorite street of all.

Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in
pitch(音调).
One of the study's authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study，Patrick C.M.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
24. When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find ________.
A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time
B. he has an easier time learning music at the same time
C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand
D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch
25. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C. Because music training might help people with language study.
D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
26. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”.
A. created B. spelled C. seemed D. pronounced
27. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers
B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。目前有研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习汉语更容易。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。第一段第一句Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand.可知任何一个学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说话和理解所需要的声调有多难。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段最后一句researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch可知，学习汉语和音乐训练用到的是都是大脑相同的部位。这些部位有助于帮助人们发现音调中的变化。故学习汉语和音乐训练有关系。故选B。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。由上下文可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着中心作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们对这个词发出不同的音调时，那么，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思。故划线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”。D选项正确。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现语调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。故B选项切题。
C
An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same
book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor(市长)appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
28. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A. To invite authors to guide readers. B. To encourage people to read and share.
C. To involve people in community service. D. To promote the friendship between cities.
29. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A. They had little interest in reading. B. They were too busy to read a book.
C. They came from many different backgrounds. D. They lacked support from the local government.
30. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A. In large communities with little sense of unity.
B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.
D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
31. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by ______.
A. the careful selection of a proper book
B. the growing popularity of the writers
C. the number of people who benefit from reading
D. the number of books that each person reads
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
试题分析:文章讲述了美国一些城市实施的“同读一本书”活动，这项活动旨在鼓励人们互相分享阅读的想法，并享受阅读的过程。
【28题详解】
B 细节理解题。定位关键词project launched，根据文章第二段的as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.和who launched (发起）the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”可知，发起这项活动的目的是鼓励阅读和分享，故选B项。
【29题详解】
C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. （唯一的问题产生在纽约，在那里，当地读者不能决定一本书以代表巨大而多样化的人口）可知，纽约人不能实施该项工程的原因是纽约人来自很多不同的背景，故选C。
【30题详解】
D 根据倒数第二段的This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved可知，中等城市或比较大的市镇，人们达成共识比较容易，故选D项。
【31题详解】
C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.可知，这项工程是通过多少人从此过程中受益来衡量的，故选C项。
考点：新闻报道类阅读。
D
Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.
So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.
A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.
32. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?
A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.
B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
33. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s book?
A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.
B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.
C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.
D. Industry–funded media present confusing information.
34. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to____.
A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborg’s book
C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.
B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews.
C. To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information.
D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段第二句 “Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.” 可知 skeptics 是拒绝承认人类活动对地球环境产生极恶劣影响的人，故正确答案为B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段最后一句 “Indeed, Mr. Lomborg's views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.” 可知 Lomborg 的书火爆的原因是他的观点与那些为各行业提供资金的组织的观点相同，而那些组织发起了很多活动来支持这个观点，故正确答案为A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段最后一句“The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg's 'preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)'” 可知作者举这个例子是为了表明仍然存在与一般媒体不同的观点，并表明对这种观点的支持，故正确答案为A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题，由最后一段第一句 “A critical(批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.”
可知作者举 Lomborg 的例子是为了说明媒体应该提供全面的信息，而不该只传播单方面的信息，所以D项符合文意。A项，Skeptics 只是作者举的例子，不是文章主要内容，所以A项错误。B项，这条建议只是针对事例本身，并不是作者真正想表达的观点，所以B项错误。C项，由最后一段可知作者只是认为媒体发布全面的信息是很重要的，并未批评媒体缺少责任感，所以C项错误。故正确答案为D。

On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream.” _____36_____ Here is one of the things I’ve struggled with during my almost one year in the States.
____37____ My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America. Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Before going to the U.S., actually, I had no idea what to expect about its weather, but the big rain on my arrival gave me the first expectation of what the weather here might be like.
California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. _____38_____ However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.
____39____ Most of the time I was living in Silicon Valley, where the weather is a bit colder than where I study in Orange County. But I was really surprised to find chill-to-the-bone weather in San Francisco — a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour’s drive. How strange!
____40____ The worst is that I get n runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold. I think that my body needs more time to get used to this climate, but as many people said, I am luckier to be in California where I don’t have to fight with extreme weathers as in other stales.
A. I am sensitive to weather change.
B. Such strange weather has affected my health.
C. So the amount of rain this year is considered unusual.
D. LAX airport in California welcomed me with a big rain.
E. So I quickly get used lo the unchangeable climate in California.

【名师点睛】
“七选五”题要求学生根据文章的结构、逻辑、上下文的内容选出相应的五句话填入空白处将文章补充完整。主要目的在于“考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。”
试题的位置不同，解题策略也不同：
1．若问题在段首：通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 例如___5___ The worst is that I get a runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning.根据相关词get a runny nose和wear it confidently，可以判断出本段是：多变的气候影响自己的健康。故选B。
2．若问题是位于自然段中 承上启下是空格的主要任务，分析句子之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意句子间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。 例如：California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. ____3____ However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.本段前一句说“加州气候适宜----阳光充足，夏季凉爽，冬季温暖，”，后一句说“然而呆久了，我经历了加州各种多变的天气。”可知，C项“今年雨量多有点反常。”承上启下。

【68题详解】
考查连接词。本句为定语从句修饰先行词Kunming，且先行词在从句中做地点状语故用关系副词where。
【69题详解】
考查动词时态。本句描述目前此时此刻的情况，用现在进行时，主语为单数，故填is developing。
【70题详解】
考查动词时态。根据时间状语in the last 20 years可知本句用现在完成时，且主语为most people，故填have seen。

注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson’s house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty
【答案】1.to stay去掉to
2.about后的which →what
3.out for a walk
4.many →much
5.angrily →angry
6.window →windows
7.but →and
8.repair →repaired
9.we →he
10.had →have
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者和家人住在朋友家海边的房子时，作者的小儿子汤姆在朋友家门前踢足球时打破了威尔逊先生家的一扇窗户。汤姆和作者为这件不幸的事向所有的邻居道了歉。
【详解】1.考查介词。let sb. do sth.为固定用法，意为“让某人做某事”，后跟动词原形，故去掉to。
2.考查连接词。此处是一个宾语从句，从句缺少主语，指事，故应用what引导宾语从句。
3.考查介词。短语be out for a walk意为“出去散步”，for表示目的。故out后添加for。
4.考查形容词。noise为不可数名词，因为需要用much修饰，故many改为much。
5.考查形容词。get为系动词，后跟形容词作表语，故angrily改为angry。
6.考查名词的数。短语one of后跟名词复数，表示“……其中之一”，故window改为windows。
7.考查连词。句意：汤姆和我为这件不幸的事向所有的邻居道歉，并且我们答应尽快把打破的窗户修好。前后文为并列关系，故but改为and。
8.考查非谓语动词。句中的have意为“使得”，其后的宾补与宾语之间是动宾关系，应该用过去分词repaired。
9.考查人称代词。根据语境可知是Tom打破了窗户，故此处表示的是汤姆他不会再做这样的傻事。故we改为he。
10.考查动词时态。主句谓语动词为一般现在时，所以从句应该用完成时。故had改为have。
第二节 书面表达(满分25分)
72.假设你是李华，你的美国老师Miss Morgan要求你们明天下午去听一个美国历史的讲座。你因故不能参加。请你根据以下要点，写一封短信向Miss Morgan请假。

【答案】One possible version：
Miss Morgan,
I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. My uncle is returning home from France, and I have promised to meet him at the airport at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.
I am very much interested in American society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to
be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and make up for what is covered in the talk. I would appreciate it if you could allow me to ask for a leave of absence.
Thank you.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】
试题分析：本次作文要求写一封短信请假。成文时要注意：1.文章用第一人称；2.时态：现在时；3.文章的内容要点要齐全：（1）表示歉意；（2）理由：去机场接从法国回来的舅舅；（3）询问：是否有录音,以便补听讲座。4.注意使用高级词汇和高级句型，以提高文章的档次；5.注意使用一些连接词，使得文章表达自然、流畅。6.注意文章的字数控制，100单词左右。
写作亮点：本篇条理清楚，要点全面，结构连贯。其句式上的变化既使得文章生动而流畅，也体现了作者驾驭句式的能力。例如：文章运用了宾语从句that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. if it is possible for the talk to be recorded宾语从句what is covered in the talk. I would appreciate it if...句型。
考点：应用文写作。
【名师点睛】
应用文写作指导
应用文写作题目的设计形式多种多样，一般通过图画、表格、提纲等形式展示表达的话题及相关信息和主要内容，一般都要有一定的汉语提示和要求。写作内容大都包括对信息内容的客观描述，还要发表自己的观点和看法；有时要求提出解决问题的办法或建议。
应用文的写作要注意以下几个方面：
1、写作的前提是明确目的，以便合理的安排文章内容和结构。除了感谢信、道歉信、邀请信、推荐信、投诉信、求职信等目的较明确外，发言稿、通知、调查报告等也要考虑写作文章的用途或听众与读者的需求；
2、写作的关键是仔细审题，通过审题，得出图画、图表或提纲提示信息，并选准表达要点，使其很好的描述现象，分析问题，解决问题，达到写作的目的；
3、注意篇章结构的整体安排：开篇点题，表明写作的目的（一般给出）；描述事物的顺序和思路（按照审题得出的表达要点合理安排，要符合客观实际和人们的认知规律）；合适自然的结尾（首尾呼应，提出解决问题的方法或建议）。
4、注意应用文的语言要规范、准确，要得体；选词要丰富，适量使用结构稍复杂的长短句式，如倒装句、强调句和定语从句等，确保写作信息的含量；注意过度与衔接，确保行文连贯，提高写作的质量。
5、选择恰当的人称和时态：以第一、三人称为主，主要选用现在时态。
