1. D。根据第二段中“The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria for Chinese students for several years, according to its official weibo account.”可知，剑桥大学承认中国高考成绩已执行有数年，故选D。
2. C。联系上下文“Internet users have broadly welcomed the move, saying this is a blessing for Chinese students who want to enter the university, though the bar is set high, according to China Daily.”可知，“网民们普遍欢迎这一举措，他们认为，尽管门槛很高，但对于那些希望进入剑桥大学学习的中国学生来说仍是件______。”由此可推出答案C。
3. B。根据文中““We are aware of the many criticisms (批评) that have been made of the gaokao .... But it has the advantage of being what educational experts call a ‘criterion-referenced (标准参照)’ exam: It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge, as well as their ability to work hard and consistently.”可知，Stanley Nel的话强调高考在选拔学生方面有自己的优势，故选B。
4. C。根据文中“there is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognizes the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don’t accept it as part of their application process”可知，答案选C。
1. A。根据第二段“After a few days, they freely texted and watched videos in class. When not sleeping, one young woman played phone games at her desk. She even wore earphones!”可知，学生们上课时间发短信、看视频、玩游戏等，不认真听课，故选A。
2. C。文中“This issue transcends generations, however.”紧接着讲了Andrew Sullivan的例子，想说明这个观点，即年长的人也沉迷于手机，故选C。
3. C。根据倒数第三段中“I created new activities where students stood, walked around and talked to each other. I also gave them creative projects that required smartphones”可知，在学生迷恋手机的情况下，作者没有杜绝用手机或者惩罚学生，反而设计了一些让学生积极参与的课堂活动，以及一些需要学生用手机才能完成的活动来适应这种形势，故选C。
1. C。根据文章“the pain and strong desire to die”可知，作者那段时间情绪一直很消沉，难以支撑，因此答案为C。A项在文中未体现；作者在文中提到，每次从父亲的墓地回来之后心情都会平静很多，但这次不同，这次回来依旧很难过，由此可排除B、D两项。
2. A。根据文章第七段可知，作者得到了邻居们的信任，也得到了社区人们的关爱，因此答案为A。由第六段“Every week I added a few different people to my delivery route, baked a few different kinds of cookies.”可知作者只是增加饼干的种类，并没有增加其他送的东西，排除B项；作者的生活依旧忙碌，排除C项；D项文章未提及。
3. A。通读全文以及根据最后一段“a new season of light”等表达可知，作者迈入了一个更加有希望的季节，因此对于未来的态度应该是积极的，答案为A。其他三项均不符合作者的态度。
4. C。通读全文，以及“It reminded me that there is beauty in being kind.”可知，作者写作目的主要是为了分享她小小的善举是怎样帮助自己走出低迷重获希望的，因此答案为C。其他三项均不是作者写作的主要目的。

One possible version:
Some people believe that household duties can improve independence in teenagers and teach them practical skills. But others consider housework to be valueless for teenagers and not particularly beneficial in terms of improving their academic achievements.
In my view, these two beliefs reflect differences of opinion in education theory. In my opinion, housework offers students precious opportunities to adapt to the real world, where diverse experience is more important than exam results. For example, making dumplings with my parents, which has nothing to do with my studies, has given me many interesting things to talk about with foreign friends. In addition, it made me think about how to make the best-looking dumplings, which got me thinking about how I can do my best in my studies as well.
In short, I believe housework can help teenagers grow and should not be seen as a waste of time or effort.

第36-37期总第750期高一期中测试解析
阅读理解
A
21. B。根据第一段最后三句The activities are various and suitable for both young children and adults. But with every attraction, there is a high price to pay for these attractions. Follow a few simple steps to make your Disneyland vacation affordable and fun for the whole family.可知，本文主要讲了几个游览迪士尼的省钱方法，故选B。
22. D。根据Step 1中第三句Plan a trip in March or October to catch the cool weather and avoid large crowds.可知3月到10月是比较好的游览迪士尼的时间，故选D。
23. A。根据Step 2中前两句Find a hotel with free shuttle service. Several nearby hotels offer free transportation to and from Disneyland.可知，free shuttle service是在往返于两个地方的“免费接送车服务”，故选A。
24. D。根据Step 6可知，可以关注优惠券信息省钱，故选D。A、B、C三项文中均为提及。
B
25. D。根据第二段第一句She was always thinking about who might enjoy what和第三段第一句 Thoughtfulness and creativity went into the gifts she gave.可确定D正确，同时排除A。根据第四段可以排除B。根据第一段的The occasion never mattered可排除C。
26. C。根据she didn't come from a gift-giving background 以及my mother made up （编）some fine stories.可知C正确。A错误因为原文是说作者的妈妈害怕圣诞节后的课上老师要求写自己得到的礼物，而不是害怕圣诞节的到来，BD两项单根据文章无法做出判断。
27. B。根据在玻璃上刻的字可断定是表达对女儿的爱和感谢，所以B正确。
28. D。根据最后一段的总结，以及全文可知D正确。
C
29. D。 细节判断题。根据“more than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and you are definitely working class”可知，在英国一般阶级低，他们喝茶的时候就会放很多糖，可以推出阶级高的人喝茶不放糖，所以D正确；根据“drinking smoky black…can be a sign of class worries in the middle class”可知这是针对中产阶级的，而且原文是不加奶，所以A错误；根据“The tea gets weaker as one goes up the social ladder.”可知，阶级越高的人，越爱喝淡茶，B选项意思相反，所以错误；文中提到even one makes people suspicious，意思是即使加一份糖也会让人怀疑你是低阶层的，C项断章取义，变成了意思是加糖会让人觉得你可疑，所以错误。
30. A。细节判断题。根据Watching the English这本书，文中主要讲的是英国人喝茶的习惯可以体现出他们的阶级，所以A正确；文中没有提到英国人经常用喝茶来判断他人的阶级，B错误；CD两个选项文中没有提到。
31. D。推断理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，茶在英国不仅仅体现出阶级，还是缓解社交场合尴尬问题的媒介，所以D正确；文中没有提到茶的出现丰富了英国人的生活，所以A错误；文中只是说明透过喝茶可以判断人的阶级，但并不是一个工具，所以C错误 ；B选项文中没有提到。
32. C。主旨大意题。根据“Britons' preferences for types of tea and how to drink it can really say a lot about them.”，可知，英国人喝茶的喜好和方式可以传递出他们的信息—文章主要是讲了和阶层相关的信息，所以C正确，telling指“反映或显露真实情况的”；A选项文中没有提到。文中只是介绍英国人喝茶习惯，并没有讲喝茶要遵循的规则，B错误； D选项是说在社交场喝茶的重要性，所以不对。
D
33. D。根据第二段第二句According to the findings, ants use visual (视觉的) memories of their environment and the sun’s position to find their way home. And they can even do it while traveling backwards.可知蚂蚁是利用对周围环境的视觉记忆和太阳的位置定位的，选D。其他选项文中均没有提到。
34. D。根据第五段最后一句But if they stayed too long in the backward position, they would miss the correct turn to reach the nest.可知如果蚂蚁倒着走时间太长就有可能会迷路，选D。A选项文中没有提到。根据Ants with small pieces of cookie walked forward and cleared the 90-degree turn just fine.可排除B选项。根据第六段可知倒着走的蚂蚁有时候会放下食物观察以下周围的环境，然后就能找回正确的路，因此C选项错误。
35. C。文章先根据一个新的研究介绍了蚂蚁是依靠什么找到回巢的路的，之后说了新发现可应用在智能机器人领域，因此C项为文章主旨。
完形填空
41. D。从后文可知，是一辆高级轿车停在作者面前。pull up（使）停下；ring up 给……打电话；speed up 加速；go up 上升，增长。
42. A。句意：我在忙着欣赏车子时候注意到了美丽的司机。其他选项都和语境不符。
43. B。从后文对这位司机外貌的描写可以知道，作者想表达这位司机非常漂亮。因此选B。
44. C。只有牙齿才能比喻成一串珍珠，所以选C。
45. C。表示穿着的动词应该用dress。
46. A。前文描述了轿车的豪华和司机的美丽，此处描写作者自己穿着牛仔裤和T恤。由此可以看出作者内心觉得不公平，所以选unfair。
47. D。根据句意以及后文的would可以推知，自此之后作者经常看到这个女司机。routine 作名词表示“常规，惯例”，此处作形容词表示“成为习惯的”。
48. C。wonder表示“感到好奇想知道”。
49. B。从选项后面“I could see her in full length”可以知道，作者希望她能走出车子。
50. C。作者觉得这名女士开着豪车，生活过得比她好，所以想知道她是不是穿着时髦的高跟鞋，故选C。
51. D。从下文可知，作者提出的问题得到了解答，所以选D。
52. B。后文中提到这个女司机安了假肢，所以行动应该是很缓慢的。
53. C。walking cane意思是“拐杖”。后文提到女司机两条腿都不方便，所以需要依靠拐杖行动。lean意思是“倚靠，拄着”。
54. D。此处可以用排除法做。skip 跳跃，略过；pat拍打；press 挤压，按；lift 提升，提起。结合上下文可以知道前面三个选项都不合文意。
55. B。根据上下文，作者要告诉丈夫发生了什么。
56. D。女司机12岁那年，她坐的车在铁轨路上卡住了，
所以她应该被困在车里了。trapped 被困住。
57. C。根据后文叙述可知应选择C，因为铁路交叉路口没有信号灯，所以铁路公司赔偿了她一笔大的财产。make an arrangement 做安排；make a fortune 赚大钱；make a settlement 支付，结帐；解决，和解；make a contract 签订合同。
58. A。根据常识，铁路交叉路口应该有信号灯。
signal（给人警告、 信息等的）信号器或信号物。
59. B。从前文我第一次哭泣时觉得世界很不公平可以看出，作者嫉妒女司机的生活，故选B。
60. D。fool表示“欺骗”。最后一句话意为当你看到别人过得似乎比你好时，不要被外表欺骗了。
