New Year’s celebrations take many forms, but most cultures have one thing in common—have a good time after a long, hard year. For much of the globe this involves drinking with friends until the sun comes up, singing together. But others have rather more curious habits, often filled with superstition (迷信).

In Denmark, people stand on chairs and jump off together as the clock strikes midnight, really leaping into the new year. The Danes also throw plates at their friends’ homes during the night-the more pieces you find outside your door in the morning the more popular you are said to be.

In Finland, say tour guides, people pour melted (熔化的) lead into cold water to predict the year ahead from the shape the metal forms. If the shape represents a ship it is said to predict travel, if it’s a ball, good luck.

The Dutch build massive bonfires with their Christmas trees and cat sugary donuts—one of many cultures to consume round New Year’s foods traditionally believed to represent good fortune.

Spaniards, in turn, cat a dozen grapes before the strike of midnight, each fruit representing a month that will either be sweet or sour.

In the Philippines, people wear polka dots (带圆点的服装) for good luck, while in some countries of South America people put on brightly coloured underwear to attract fortune—red for love and yellow for financial success.

Despite regional and cultural differences, for most the New Year’s festivities are a chance to let off steam before the annual cycle starts all over again. “This is a holiday that is about celebration and letting go,” explained George Washington University sociologist Amitai Etzioni.

1. In which country is the festival related to metal?

A. Denmark. B. Spain. C. Finland. D. The Netherlands.

2. What can we learn about New Year’s celebrations from the text?

A. The Danes throw grapes at their friends’ homes during the night.

B. Spaniards eat many donuts before the strike of midnight.

C. The Dutch build massive walls with their Christmas trees.

D. Some people in South America wear red underwear for love.

3. What does the underlined phrase “let off steam” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Get married. B. Get relaxed. C. Make money. D. Make friends.

Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was shocked and heartbroken when she was told at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly (无脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few hours. It ripped her heart out.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the illness means the baby has an underdeveloped brain and incomplete skull (颅骨). Approximately one in 10,000 babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result in early death.

As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs — making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.

Afterwards they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided to name her on the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, “grace”. Abbey said: “Carrying a seriously-ill baby to term was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done…For us, even in the middle of our terrible heartbreak we were able to see so much beauty.” The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie before she passed away.

Her organs were not available for transplant (移植) because her oxygen levels were too low — which Abbey said was “disappointing”— but they were able to donate her heart valves (瓣膜) and some of her organs could be used for research. She said: “Annie’s story is one of hope. I think it shows people that in the middle of tragedy, there can be beauty.”

4. How did Abbey feel at the news about her daughter firstly?

A. Surprised and upset. B. Worried and determined.

C. Relieved and regretful. D. Curious and angry.

5. What was Abbey and her husband’s decision?

A. Keeping Annie in hospital. B. Stopping giving birth to Annie.

C. Giving away Annie’s organs. D. Naming her daughter after beauty.

6 Why were Annie’s organs not used for transplant?

A. Because of diseases. B. Because of low temperature.

C. Because of heart valves. D. Because of lack of oxygen.

7. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To call on people to donate organs. B. To share a touching story with readers.

C. To inform people of what anencephaly is. D. To show what a tragedy the story is.

【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一对父母因为婴儿天生无法治愈的疾病，不得不接受这个事实，同时也积极行动，捐赠了自己小孩器官的感人故事。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was shocked and heartbroken when she was told at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly (无脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few hours. It ripped her heart out.(34岁的艾比·埃亨住在俄克拉荷马州，当她在怀孕19周的时候被告知她的女儿患有不治之症无脑畸形，这意味着她活不过几个小时时，她感到震惊和心碎。这伤透了她的心)”可推断，艾比一开始听到女儿的消息时，她感到惊讶和不安。故选A。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs — making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.(结果，艾比和她同样34岁的飞行员丈夫罗伯特,决定要一个活产，这样他们就可以花时间和女儿在一起，并捐赠她的器官——这使安妮成为该州第一个新生儿捐赠者)”可知，艾比和她丈夫的决定是捐赠安妮的器官。故选C。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段“Her organs were not available for transplant (移植) because her oxygen levels were too low — which Abbey said was “disappointing”— but they were able to donate her heart valves (瓣膜) and some of her organs could be used for research.(她的器官不能用于移植，因为她的氧含量太低——艾比说这“令人失望”——但他们能够捐献她的心脏瓣膜，她的一些器官可以用于研究)”可知，安妮的器官没有用于移植是因为缺氧。故选D。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs — making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.(结果，艾比和她同样34岁的飞行员丈夫罗伯特,决定要一个活产，这样他们就可以花时间和女儿在一起，并捐赠她的器官——这使安妮成为该州第一个新生儿捐赠者)”及全文可知，这是一篇故事，讲述了一对父母因为婴儿天生无法治愈的疾病，不得不接受这个事实，同时也积极行动，捐赠了自己小孩器官的感人故事。由此推知，文章的目的是与读者分享一个感人的故事。故选B。

On the edge of the Atlantic, there is much more water on islands. Experts say the Uists (尤伊斯特群岛) in the UK are on the front line of climate change and some of those who call this home are already adapting to their changing landscape. Donald MacPhee, an islander told BBC, “We seem to be getting a lot more rain—very unpredictable, but back in my father’s days you could guarantee that you’d have plenty of dry weather in August. But now it’s very unpredictable.” This low-lying watery landscape is weak to changes in our climate—with predictions that the sea level here could rise by as much as half a metre over the next few decades.

And that’s not the only challenge facing these islands which are so exposed to wet and stormy weather. Professor Stewart Angus, a coastal ecologist said, “A lot of the land actually lies below the level of the sea for much of the tidal cycle (潮汐). Secondly, you have rising sea levels. Thirdly, you have rising rainfall in winter. And you have the great difficulty in a very low-lying environment of removing that water.”

The airport here provides a lifeline service to islanders. A million pounds has been spent on the latest work to protect the runway, which ends just metres from the shore. At the islands’ arts centre, a picture of a rising line is shown. Andy Mackinnon, an artist told us, “So, the line represents a symbolic level that the sea will rise to. I hope that it does make people think about what we’re doing.”

And from the children here, out taking care of their local beach, messages in English and Gaelic (盖尔语) of their hopes and fears are being sent to the UN climate summit in Glasgow. “Stop sea levels rising. We could be under the water soon.” These small islands hope for big commitments from world leaders to lessen the worst that climate change might bring.

8. What does Paragraph 1 imply?

A. All islands have been under the water. B. The weather here now is still predictable.

C. Islands are at risk due to climate change. D. The sea level will rise by 5 metres in decades.

9. What is the big challenge for islanders now according to Paragraph 2?

A. Dry and hot weather. B. Irregular tidal cycle.

C. Protecting the runway. D. Getting rid of the water.

10. What is Andy Mackinnon’s attitude towards the islands?

A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Relieved.

11. What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?

A. How the islands are flooded. B. What help UN can provide for islanders.

C. What life children here live. D. What effect climate change may bring.

【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了海平面上升对尤伊斯特群岛产生威胁，岛民发声，希望停止海平面上升，减少气候变化可能带来的最坏影响。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“This low-lying watery landscape is weak to changes in our climate—with predictions that the sea level here could rise by as much as half a metre over the next few decades.(这片低洼的水边地形易受气候变化影响，预测未来几十年这里的海平面可能会上升半米)”可知，由于气候变化，海平面可能会上升，岛屿处于危险中。故选C项。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“A lot of the land actually lies below the level of the sea for much of the tidal cycle. Secondly, you have rising sea levels. Thirdly, you have rising rainfall in winter. And you have the great difficulty in a very low-lying environment of removing that water. (在潮汐周期的大部分时间里，很多土地实际上都位于海平面以下。其次，海平面上升。第三，冬季降雨量增加。在地势非常低的环境中，要清除这些水非常困难)”可知，地势非常低的环境中，产生大量积水，岛民现在面临的最大挑战是清除积水。故选D项。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Andy Mackinnon, an artist told us, “So, the line represents a symbolic level that the sea will rise to. I hope that it does make people think about what we’re doing.”(艺术家安迪·麦金农告诉我们，“所以，这条线代表着海将上升到的一个象征性的高度。我希望它能让人们思考我们正在做什么。”)”可知，安迪·麦金农希望用作品引发人们的思考，推测其对这些岛屿的态度是担忧的。故选A项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段“And from the children here, out taking care of their local beach, messages in English and Gaelic of their hopes and fears are being sent to the UN climate summit in Glasgow.(这里的孩子们在照顾他们当地的海滩，用英语和盖尔语向格拉斯哥的联合国气候峰会传达他们的希望和恐惧)”以及“These small islands hope for big commitments from world leaders to lessen the worst that climate change might bring.(这些小岛希望世界领导人做出重大承诺，减轻气候变化可能带来的最坏影响)”可知，岛民向联合国发声，传达他们的希望和恐惧，希望减轻气候变化可能带来的最坏影响，推测后文可能介绍联合国可以为岛屿提供的帮助。故选B项。

They say there is power in names and nowhere is that truer than China, where Chinese characters often carry a deep significance. For any brand planning to enter the Chinese market, choosing the right Chinese name is usually a top priority.

In choosing their Chinese name, brands should consider something that is memorable, easy to pronounce and with no negative meaning in the multiple Chinese dialects, and that conveys a sense of the brand’s DNA. This can be a challenge for luxury fashion houses, as their name often comes with its own heritage(传统) and meaning. However, they also have the advantage that they may enjoy a certain degree of brand recognition in China.

Brands have three main options when it comes to choosing a Chinese name. The majority choose a simple transliteration(音译), choosing a series of characters with sounds that are closely similar to the pronunciation of the brand’s original name. For example, Dior’s Chinese name is“迪奥”(di’ao).The two characters, while meaningless in combination, respectively mean “to enlighten” and “mysterious”, a smart choice for this brand.

Since more and more Chinese people are travelling abroad and they tend to pick up a short form, for instance, LV for Louis Vuitton, brands might wonder whether it is even necessary to spend considerable time and energy coming up with an official Chinese name. Nevertheless, most marketers still advise that brands select an official Chinese name. “Although brands only use their English name on their shop front, they still need a Chinese name, as their customers, sales assistants and floor managers usually won’t use the English name,” argues Louis Houdart, CEO of China-based branding agency Creative Capital.

Houdart adds that it is important for brands to establish and popularize their Chinese name, otherwise they might run the risk of customers’ coming up with their own understanding and pronunciation, messing their brand’s image and leaving it open to copyright infringement(侵权).

12. What’s the bright side for luxury fashion houses while choosing a Chinese name?

A. It’s possible for those brands to be recognized by Chinese customers.

B. It’s lucky to decide a Chinese name that can be accepted by Chinese consumers.

C. It’s easy for them to contain their heritage and meaning in their Chinese name.

D. It’s unnecessary for those brands to spend energy choosing a proper Chinese name.

13. What is the best choice for the brand “BVLGARI” according to the passage?

A. Giving the name a short form “BV”. B. Translating the name into宝格丽.

C. Ignoring Chinese customers’ demand. D. Sticking to the English name.

14. Which of the following most probably agrees with Houdart’s argument?

A. Diane Von Furstenberg is usually referred to as “DVF” instead of a Chinese name.

B. It is essential for brands to set up their Chinese name and make it understandable.

C. Louis Vuitton has never meant to come up with an official Chinese name so far.

D. Chinese consumers get fairly used to pronouncing those brand’s names in English.

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Behind the Right Chinese Name B. The Influence of Famous Brands

C. The Power of Brand Recognition D. The History of Famous Brands

【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. A

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍国际奢侈品牌如何在中国进行译名。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“However, they also have the advantage that they may enjoy a certain degree of brand recognition in China．(然而，他们也有一个优势，他们可能在中国享有一定程度的品牌认知度。)”可知，奢侈时尚品牌选择中文名的好处是这些品牌有可能得到中国消费者的认可。故选A。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“The majority choose a simple transliteration(音译), choosing a series of characters with sounds that are closely similar to the pronunciation of the brand’s original name. For example, Dior’s Chinese name is“迪奥”(di’ao).The two characters, while meaningless in combination, respectively mean “to enlighten” and “mysterious”, a smart choice for this brand.(大多数人选择简单的音译，即选择一系列发音与品牌原始名称发音非常相似的字符。例如，迪奥的中文名字是“迪奥”。这两个字的组合虽然没有意义，但分别意味着“启迪”和“奥秘”，这是该品牌的明智选择。)”可推断，“BVLGARI”品牌的最佳选择是把名字翻译成宝格丽。故选B。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, most marketers still advise that brands select an official Chinese name. “Although brands only use their English name on their shop front, they still need a Chinese name, as their customers, sales assistants and floor managers usually won’t use the English name,” argues Louis Houdart, CEO of China-based branding agency Creative Capital.(尽管如此，大多数营销人员仍建议各品牌选择一个正式的中文名称。“虽然品牌只在店面上使用英文名称，但他们仍然需要一个中文名称，因为他们的客户、销售助理和现场经理通常不会使用英文名称，”中国品牌机构创创资本的首席执行官Louis Houdart表示。)”和根据第五段“Houdart adds that it is important for brands to establish and popularize their Chinese name, otherwise they might run the risk of customers’ coming up with their own understanding and pronunciation, messing their brand’s image and leaving it open to copyright infringement(侵权).( Houdart补充道，对于品牌来说，建立和普及他们的中文名字很重要，否则他们可能会冒着客户提出自己的理解和发音的风险，破坏他们的品牌形象，并使其面临版权侵犯。)”可推断，Louis Houdart认为品牌建立中文名称并使其易于理解是很重要的。故选B。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“For any brand planning to enter the Chinese market, choosing the right Chinese name is usually a top priority.(对于任何计划进入中国市场的品牌来说，选择正确的中文名称通常是首要任务。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍国际奢侈品牌如何在中国进行译名。所以“Behind the Right Chinese Name(正确的中文名字背后的原因)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Facebook这一工具，它可以让我们与更广泛、更多样的朋友保持更深入的联系。

【36题详解】

考查副词。句意：在过去，友谊受到时间、空间和注意力的极大限制。空处修饰动词limited，应用副词形式作状语，greatly是副词，表示“大大地”，符合题意。故填greatly。

【37题详解】

考查介词。句意：通过用户控制、新技术和不断变化的社会行为标准的结合，Facebook将我们从这些限制中解放出来，使友谊比以往任何时候都更容易获得、更愉快、更多样。free sb. from sth.为固定搭配，表示“使某人从某事中解放出来”，符合题意，所以空处应用介词from。故填from。

【38题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：通过用户控制、新技术和不断变化的社会行为标准的结合，Facebook将我们从这些限制中解放出来，使友谊比以往任何时候都更容易获得、更愉快、更多样。分析句子结构，空处作非谓语动词，结合语意，“Facebook将我们从这些限制中解放出来”，自然而然产生的结果是“使得友谊比以往任何时候都更容易获得、更愉快、更多样”，所以空处应用现在分词形式作状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填making。

【39题详解】

考查名词。句意：首先，Facebook允许你找到并重新发现朋友，然后提醒你这些关系，这样你就不太可能与久违的学校朋友或其他国家的家人失去联系。结合语意，空处应用名词relation，表示“关系”，作介词of的宾语，these表示“这些”，后接可数名词的复数形式。故填relations。

【40题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，Facebook允许你找到并重新发现朋友，然后提醒你这些关系，这样你就不太可能与久违的学校朋友或其他国家的家人失去联系。be likely to do sth.为固定短语，表示“可能做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to fall。

【41题详解】

考查冠词。句意：首先，Facebook允许你找到并重新发现朋友，然后提醒你这些关系，这样你就不太可能与久违的学校朋友或其他国家的家人失去联系。结合语意，此处泛指一个不同的国家，空处应用不定冠词，different是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。

【42题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：第二，Facebook创造了一个环境，让你可以轻松地与他人互动。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词environment，先行词指地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。

【43题详解】

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：凯斯·汉普顿最近为皮尤互联网和美国生活项目所做一项研究发现，社交网站的用户拥有更大、更多样的社交圈，无论是在线上还是线下。分析句子结构，空处作句子谓语，句子描述现在的一般事实，可用一般现在时，主语A recent study是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式discovers，结合语意以及句中的recent可知，句子也可使用现在完成时，主语A recent study是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式has discovered。故填has discovered/discovers。

【44题详解】

考查形容词。句意：时间可能会限制我们保持社交联系的能力，但我们对社交交流的渴望是无限的。结合语意，空处应用形容词limitless/unlimited，表示“无限的”，作句子表语，符合题意。故填limitless/unlimited。

Knowing that you are heading back to Britain very soon, I hate to say that parting is truly hard. But I am delighted that you have enjoyed yourself here and grown attached to Chinese culture.

47. 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。

During last Christmas holiday, my wife, our three boys and I were in France on our way from Paris to Nice (尼斯). For five bad days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps”, our rented car broke down and we were all annoyed and exhausted in the crowded car. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dark and dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant roughly decorated for the holidays. In the corner, a piano player listlessly played Christmas music. I was too tired and miserable to leave. I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence. The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor. While eating he was writing a letter, and a half-smile covered his face.

My wife ordered our meal in French. The waiter brought us the wrong thing, so I scolded my wife for being stupid. She began to cry. The boys defended her, and I felt even worse. All of us were interrupted by an unpleasant strong movement of cold air. Through the front door came an old French flower woman, dressed in shabby clothes.

The young sailor finished his meal, got up and walked over to the flower woman. “Happy Christmas!” he said, smiling, and picking out two corsages (小花束). “How much are they?” he asked.

“Two francs, sir.”

Pressing one of the small corsages flat, he put it into an envelope he was to send, then handed the woman a 20-franc note.

“I don’t have change, sir,” she said.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右：

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The sailor leant over(弯下身子)and kissed the old woman on the cheek.

My wife waved her corsage to the music with a delighted smile.

【答案】The sailor leant over (弯下身子) and kissed the old woman on the cheek. He said with a smile, “Ma’am, keep the change and this is my Christmas present to you.” Straightening up, he came to our table holding the other corsage in front of him. “Sir,” he said to me, “may I have permission to present these flowers to your beautiful wife?” In one quick motion, he gave my wife the corsage, wished us a Merry Christmas, and left.

My wife waved her corsage to the music with a delighted smile. Amazed and ashamed, I didn’t respond to the young man in time. Music echoing off the restaurant, the sailor’s smile flooded back. Thanks to the sailor, it was he who released the love and joy that had been replaced within us by anger and disappointment. He gave us a wonderful and warm Christmas which was like a shining star on our journey home.
