Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAs we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother' s Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example,“ It' s on father' s day-father' s day is for fathers, step-fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it' s a day for making father figures feel special. “ Further searching found a Stepfather' s Day Facebook page that says, “The unofficial Stepfather' s ''Day is the fourth Sunday of June. “Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked“ the page. Considering that studies show 3.3 million men, or 11.1% of U. S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that' s only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents' Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law ! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children' s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You're not my dad!“ or “You're not my mom!“ And yet they never give up. They do their best to over- come the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung( 未被颂扬的 ) family heroes deserve “official“ days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, Presi- dent Obama, who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother' s Day and National Stepfather' s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could makethis happen !36. What does the underlined word “that“ in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. 11.1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.''B. 3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.C. Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.D. 30 people who support Stepfather' s Day on the Facebook page.【答案】D【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】根据题意可知，that 指的是前一句所说内容，即在脸书上只有 30 个人支持继父节，与 330 万继父相比。这 30 个人只是沧海一粟。37. What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?A. The National Stepchildren's Day.B. The National Stepparents' Day.C. The National Grandparents' Day.D. The National Grandchildren's Day.【答案】C【考情点拨】事实细节题。【应试指导】由第二段前两句可知，Jimmy Carter 总统在 1978 年签署通过了祖父母节。''38. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent“ in Paragraph 2?A. Inevitable.B. Lasting.C. Unbelievable.D. Tough.【答案】A【考情点拨】词语理解题。【应试指导】inevitable 不可避免的;lastin9 持续的;unbelievable 令人难以相信的;tough 困难的。此处表示作为继父母固有的挑战，inherent 表示“固有的，不可避免的”。与 A 项意思最接近。39. What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A. Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.B. Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.C. Because they love their role as stepparents.D. Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.【答案】B''【考情点拨】事实细节题。【应试指导】由第二段倒数第二句“31aese unsun9deserveofficialdays of honor.”可知，B 项符合题意.故选 B。Passage TwoMost students choose “Homestay“ accommodation when they study abroad; others select Home- stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it ' s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestav means hying with a family, or “host family“ as we say. There are three ways of doingit:* choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location;* have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher;* select not to have classes at all when you visit-a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to ''match your requirements. Placement (安置) organinations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be rela- tively economical -and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There' s no better way to learn English than this-the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience!40.Homestay is an ideal choice for students who .

Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A. Students' specific needs.B. Students' language level.C. Nationality of the host family.''D. Eating habits of the host family.【答案】A【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】由倒数第二段第一句“Though pricesvary according to your needs.you may be charged anextra amount of money if you want”可知，影响Homestay 价格的关键因素是学生的特殊要求。43.

The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.【答案】C【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】从全文特别是从最后一句“ThereSno better way”可看出，作者对Homestay 这种住宿方式是持支持态度的，故选 C。Passage Three''Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family.
