I know that she will join us every day and that we will find each other again in the paradise(天堂）of free souls which you will never have access to.‎ We are only two,my son and I,but we are more powerful than all the world’s armies.In any case,I have no more time to waste on you.I need to go back to Melvil,who is waking up from his afternoon nap.He is just 17 months old.He’ll eat his snack like every day,and we are going to play like we do every day.In every day of his life,this little boy will insult(侮辱）you with his happiness and freedom,because you don’t have his hatred either.‎ ‎21.The intended readers of the passage are most probably A.free souls B.bad guys C.powerful armies D.fellow citizens ‎22.What can we learn from the passage?‎ A.Despite his loss,the writer chooses to live a pretty normal life with his son.‎ B.The writer misses his wife so much that he is eager to reunite with her in paradise soon.‎ C.It was on a Friday evening more than 12 years ago that the writer fell in love with his wife.‎ D.The writer believes that the murderers killed his wife for political reasons.‎ ‎23.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word"grief"‘in Paragraph 6?‎ A.Anger.

One reader may take something completely different away from the piece of literature than the next reader,based on the two personal viewpoints and experiences.‎ Besides,children’s literature provides a path for students to learn about their own cultural heritage(遗产）and the cultures of other people.However,when teaching students about the cultural heritage of others,one should be very careful in selecting which books to recommend.There are stories which contain inaccuracies about certain cultural groups.However,there are also children’s books that are more accurate in teaching the cultural differences of others.‎ Undoubtedly children’s literature also helps students develop emotional intelligence.Stories have the power to promote emotional and moral development.Children’s literature contains many moments of crisis(危机），when characters make moral decisions and consider the reasons for their decisions,an important skill for children to see modeled.It also encourages students to think deeper about their own feelings.‎ Children’s literature also encourages creativity.It plays an important role in nurturing(培育） and expanding the imagination.For instance,The House in the Night describes the creativity a young girl has in her dreams at night,as she flies about the dark neighborhood on the wings of a bird.‎ Children’s literature promotes the development of students ‘internal imaginations. Children’s literature should be attached importance to because it promotes personality and social development.Children are easily influenced by others,and children’s literature can help them develop into caring,intelligent,and friendly people.Being able to understand other people’s viewpoints and to not be selfish are important skills that adults must nurture in children.Children’s literature can promote social development by encouraging students to accept other people and their differences,thus becoming considerate people and growing into quality citizens.‎ Finally,children’s literature is invaluable in that it is a timeless tradition,one in which books are the major means of passing on our literary heritage from one generation to the next.For a younger audience,children can build their cognitive and language skills through exposure to Mother Goose rhymes.Children in older grades can learn to appreciate the classic plays and messages of William Shakespeare in picture books.Children are only young for a short time,and so we must give them access to a basic literary heritage of timeless books.Quality children’s literature has the great power to attract audiences for many generations.‎ Children’s literature is important in both the school setting and at home.Teachers and parents should both be able to distinguish between quality and ordinary literature,in order to give students access to the best books to encourage these important values of literature.‎ ‎31.From the passage we can know_______.‎ A.children’s literature helps pass on language skills from one generation to another B.reading literature helps develop children’s cognitive skills as well as personalities C.literature plays an unimportant role in the development of children’s imagination D.children should read ordinary literature,which benefits emotional intelligence ‎32.How does the writer develop Paragraph 7?‎ A.By analyzing factors. B.By comparing facts.‎ C.By giving examples. D.By listing data.‎ ‎33.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A.In children’s literature,how characters make moral decisions can inspire kids.‎ B.It is totally up to parents to expose children to varieties of literature.‎ C.Children’s literature is so valuable that it benefits kids regardless of the contents.‎ D.Without literature,children cannot develop into quality citizens.‎ ‎34.The passage is mainly about A.the background of children’s literature ‎ B.the value of children’s literature C.the theme of children’s literature D.the characteristics of children’s literature ‎35.How is the passage organized?(P:Paragraph)‎ 第二节 七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Living the light life Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food.We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts,which are not easily cooked at home.‎ ‎36 According to Economic Daily,low-calorie,low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.‎ ‎37 According to a report released by Meituan,a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.‎ Having a light meal doesn’t mean eating only vegetables.Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily,salty and spicy food.38. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.‎ These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight.39＂After eating several light meals,I feel my appetite is becoming poor.I now prefer light flavors,"Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan,told China Daily.She shared a picture of her lunch:a mixture of beef, eggs,corn,mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.‎ These changes in eating behavior are connected with deeper changes in how people think about food.Diet quality,not quantity,is important for both weight control and long-term well-being. ‎ ‎40 It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.‎ A.It is important that you go on a diet based on your own needs.‎ B.Instead,it contains things like boiled meat,whole grains,fruits and vegetables.‎ C.So the next time you have a party with friends,try a light meal.‎ D.To avoid putting on weight,diners are willing to try every means.‎ E.The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals.‎ F.That’s probably why so many people,especially young adults,are into them.‎ G.The recent rise of light meals,however,gives diners a smarter choice.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸／卡上将该项涂黑。‎ From all the research I’ve done,a good learner possesses some key attributes(特质）.
