How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invited to a cousin’s wedding in India.
“My mom kind of forced me to go,” Anjali says. “When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”
Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”
After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF’s national council.
“UNICEF really liked my work,” she says. “Out of 3,000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them.”
As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.

Hosting an international sports event is an important thing that has to be prepared well. Due to that, many opinions exist.
Firstly, positive views need to be talked about. When a country gets to host such a famous event, it will probably get well-known by other nations, and surely that can help the country a lot. For instance, the government and residents have a chance to use the opportunity to advertise their culture to foreign people. Above all, by doing that, the country’s economy might increase sharply during the event. Besides, it will satisfy some people’s wish to meet famous sports players. They have a high rate of talking to their favorite players whom they really want to talk to once in their life.
However, the risk of hosting a big event still exists. An important event is not necessarily good at all. That is why there is a debate about this topic. If a country can’t be able to prepare for the event in a period, they have to do as many ways as possible to finish preparation on time, and serious results may happen. The most obvious thing is that people attending that event will have a bad experience and are sure to make grumbles. This then affects the country’s image. For example, Qatar is a country that will host the 2022 World Cup. The government has to rush to finish building big stadiums, over 6,000 migrant workers sacrificing (牺牲)their lives for that. Hearing the sad news, some people around the world disagree to go to Qatar to attend the World Cup. The result is that Qatar has been badly affected.
In conclusion, hosting an international sports event is both good and bad, and good things or bad things depend on that country’s attitude and responsibility.
28. What might benefit most from hosting an international sports event in a country
A. Advertising. B. Economy.
C. Fans. D. Players.
29. Why do people have different opinions about hosting big events
A. Because even important events are not always good.
B. Because countries don’t prepare for events well.
C. Because people present often have bad experiences.
D. Because building big stadiums costs too much money.
30. What does the underlined word “grumbles” mean in paragraph 3
A. Proper plans. B. Possible challenges.
C. Poor comments. D. Great contributions.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to hosting international sports events
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Critical(批评的). D. Neutral(中立的).
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】

29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“An important event is not necessarily good at all. That is why there is a debate about this topic.(一场重大赛事并不一定是好事。这就是为什么会有关于此话题的争议)”可知，人们对举办大型赛事有争议的原因是，即使重要的赛事也并非都是有好处的，故选A项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词所在句及下一句“The most obvious thing is that people attending that event will have a bad experience and are sure to make grumbles. This then affects the country's image.(最明显的结果就是来参加赛事的人们会体验不佳，然后必然会make grumbles。这继而将影响该国家的形象)”以及后文对卡塔尔的举例可知，这里指人们因体验不佳而做出负面评价，故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“hosting an international sports event is both good and bad, and good things or bad things depend on that country's attitude and responsibility. (举办国际体育赛事有利有弊，究竟是利是弊取决于一个国家的态度和责任感)”可知，作者的态度是中立客观的。故选D项。

There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”
32. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria
A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 39～40 degrees F.
C. Between 41～135 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F.
33. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge
A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers
A. Dividing them into small parts.
B. Storing them in the fridge right away.
C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside.
D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. When to Pack up Leftovers. B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C. To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dangerous bacterial (细菌) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.”（危险的细菌在华氏41度到135度之间生长，潜在的有害细菌在这个温度下生长得最快。）可知，在41~135华氏度之间温度最容易滋生有害细菌。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.”（然而，把剩菜长时间放在外面和把热的东西放进冰箱都会引起问题。）和第五段中“However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to.”（然而，如果你需要的话，把热的食物直接放进冰箱也没什么坏处。）可推断，作者对直接把热食放入冰箱冷却的做法的态度是中立的。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.””（蓝带厨艺学院高级文凭培训项目的营养学家瑟琳娜·潘说：“在两小时之前把食物放在外面冷却是可以的。”“事实上，越早把剩菜放进冰箱越好。”）可知，潘瑟琳建议尽快将剩菜放在冰箱冷却。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.”（有两种人：一种人喜欢一吃完饭就把剩菜打包，另一种人喜欢把剩菜放在外面放几个小时，让它们冷却下来。）可知，本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持，因此最佳标题为“把食物放在外面或冰箱里冷却”。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了紫禁城的相关情况，比如由谁建立、怎么得到这个英文名称等。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在1420至1912年间，它都是古代中国的政治中心，现在它是一个全世界闻名的博物馆。分析句意可知，空格处填写冠词a，表示数量“一个”著名博物馆。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建，他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知，此处谓语动词build“建立”与主语The Forbidden City “紫禁城”构成被动关系，且为过去发生的事，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建，他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知，此处需填写连词连接非限定性定语从句，因为先行词为人Emperor Yongle “永乐大帝”，且在从句中作主语，故使用关系代词who。故填who。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：资料称1406至1420年间，上百万工人被用来修筑紫禁城。分析句意可知，此处worker“工人”前有量词a million“一百万”修饰，故应该使用复数形式。故填workers。
【60题详解】
考查动名词。句意：为了避免上天生气，一半的房子消失了。分析句意可知，avoid“避免”后常接动名词作宾语，故此处需要使用upset“使生气”的动名词形式。故填upsetting。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色，是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知，此处most“大多数的”需改为副词形式mostly，修饰动词painted“涂”。故填mostly。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色，是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知，此处形容词happy“开心的”需要改为名词happiness“幸福”在句中作介词of的宾语。故填happiness。
【63题详解】
考查连词。过去，紫禁城不对普通大众开放，这就是为什么它被命名为“the forbidden city（被禁止的城市）”。分析句意可知，空格处填写连词连接表语从句，且连词在表语从句中作原因状语，使用why符合语境。故填why。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：清朝之后，它被作为一个国家博物馆-故宫博物馆，对公众开放。分析句意可知，此处名词nation“国家”需要改为形容词national，作定语修饰museum“博物馆”。故填national。
65题详解】
考查不定式。句意：所以哪天一定要找一个机会来参观一下！分析句意可知，此处a chance为抽象名词，后常接不定式作后置定语，故visit“参观”应该使用不定式。故填to visit。

67. 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。
When Mike was a seven-year-old kid, his parents usually didn’t give him money because he liked to buy junk food. They knew such food would be harmful to kids’ body.
But one day Mike strongly wished to buy such food. He knew he couldn’t persuade his parents to give him money to buy it, so he was upset. At noon that day, his mom was having a nap in the bedroom while his dad was working out of the home. Mike suddenly found his mom’s wallet on the sofa in the living room. Usually, his mom would put the wallet close to her — not this time.
Mike found a good chance to get money. He thought he could secretly take some from his mom’s wallet without letting her discover it. Then, he slowly walked towards the wallet and opened it. There was lots of money. Mike took a few coins and walked out of the house, going directly to a store in his community.
He bought a bag of food that was very peppery and a bottle of iced Coca-cola. Instead of returning home, he hung around outside to enjoy the food and the drink in case his mom discovered it. When he opened the food bag, a strong, hot and sweet smell rushed into his nose. He tasted some: it was delicious. But it was too hot and his mouth seemed to be on fire. However, he didn’t take notice of it. Minutes later, he ate up the bag of junk food and finished the drink. Then he returned home. His mother was still sleeping.
In the afternoon that day, Mike began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit. He felt pain in his stomach. At first, he could stand it. However, finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and told his mom that he felt sick. But Mike didn’t tell his mom the truth that he had some hot junk food. Not knowing what was wrong with Mike, his mom was worried.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
She hurried to drive him to the hospital.

Mike realized he should admit what he had done.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】She hurried to drive him to the hospital. On the way, Mike threw up badly. Seeing this, his mom realized something. But at that time Mike was in pain, so she didn’t question him. When seeing a doctor, Mike honestly told the doctor what was wrong with him. After checking his body, the doctor comforted them, saying that they didn’t need to be worried. After getting some medicine, Mike returned home with his mom. Mike took the medicine, and then he felt better.
Mike realized he should admit what he had done. So he told his mom the truth. Hearing it, his mom didn’t seem angry. Instead, she patiently explained to Mike why his behavior was wrong. She told him, “You can ask for it if you really want to eat junk food. But you shouldn’t steal money. You should tell the truth.” That day, Mike learned a big lesson and understood the importance of being honest.

Hosting an international sports event is an important thing that has to be prepared well. Due to that many opinions exist.
Firstly, positive views need to be talked about. When a country gets to host such a famous event, it will probably get well-known by other nations, and surely that can help the country a lot. For instance, the government and residents have a chance to use the opportunity to advertise their culture to foreign people. Above all, by doing that, the country’s economy might increase sharply during the event. Besides, it will satisfy some people’s wish to meet famous sports players. They have a high rate of talking to their favorite players whom they really want to talk to once in their life.
However, the risk of hosting a big event still exists. An important event is not necessarily good at all. That is why there is a debate about this topic. If a country can’t be able to prepare for the event in a period, they have to do as many ways as possible to finish preparation on time, and serious results may happen. The most obvious thing is that people attending that event will have a bad experience and are sure to make grumbles. This then affects the country’s image. For example, Qatar is a country that will host the 2022 World Cup. The government has to rush to finish building big stadiums, over 6,000 migrant workers sacrificing (牺牲)their lives for that. Hearing the sad news, some people around the world disagree to go to Qatar to attend the World Cup. The result is that Qatar has been badly affected.
In conclusion, hosting an international sports event is both good and bad, and good things or bad things depend on that country’s attitude and responsibility.

There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”
32. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria
A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 39～40 degrees F.
C. Between 41～135 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F.
33. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge
A Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers
A. Dividing them into small parts.
B. Storing them in the fridge right away.
C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside.
D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. When to Pack up Leftovers. B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C. To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge

67. 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。
When Mike was a seven-year-old kid, his parents usually didn’t give him money because he liked to buy junk food. They knew such food would be harmful to kids’ body.
But one day Mike strongly wished to buy such food. He knew he couldn’t persuade his parents to give him money to buy it, so he was upset. At noon that day, his mom was having a nap in the bedroom while his dad was working out of the home. Mike suddenly found his mom’s wallet on the sofa in the living room. Usually, his mom would put the wallet close to her — not this time.
Mike found a good chance to get money. He thought he could secretly take some from his mom’s wallet without letting her discover it. Then, he slowly walked towards the wallet and opened it. There was lots of money. Mike took a few coins and walked out of the house, going directly to a store in his community.
He bought a bag of food that was very peppery and a bottle of iced Coca-cola. Instead of returning home, he hung around outside to enjoy the food and the drink in case his mom discovered it. When he opened the food bag, a strong, hot and sweet smell rushed into his nose. He tasted some: it was delicious. But it was too hot and his mouth seemed to be on fire. However, he didn’t take notice of it. Minutes later, he ate up the bag of junk food and finished the drink. Then he returned home. His mother was still sleeping.
In the afternoon that day, Mike began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit. He felt pain in his stomach. At first, he could stand it. However, finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and told his mom that he felt sick. But Mike didn’t tell his mom the truth that he had some hot junk food. Not knowing what was wrong with Mike, his mom was worried.
