Mikah Frye, a 9－year－old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night.Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.
That thought stayed in Mikah Frye's mind and when he reached home, Mikah told his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realised that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless.He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.
Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter.Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night.Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.
Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalised message of hope in Mikah's handwriting stating “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it.That's why I want you to have your own blanket.Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too.Your friend, Mikah.”
The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion－dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa's list of nice boys” that year.

A．The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.
B. He finally got the gift he wanted at Christmas.

I am a self－taught maker of gingerbread(姜餅) houses. It wasn't something I ever did growing up. In fact, gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking (烘焙) project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.
But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest (比賽). I went home and told my kids and we made a house from the start. It took all day and we were covered in icing, but I was blown away by the final product. It was so satisfying to see a little house, decorated with colorful candy. I delivered the house to the library, where it won first place in the family group, and we got a generous $100 in gift certificates (禮券) for local businesses.
Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group. Our houses are not very beautiful; the only thing that sets them apart is the fact that we make the gingerbread from the start. Everyone else uses store－bought ready－made pieces, which makes the houses look the same. Ours, by contrast, is misshapen and leans; my husband refers to it jokingly as “the slanty shanty (傾斜的小屋)”．
If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try. What better way to use that time than making something great with your kids What I hope, too, is that this tradition will give my kids a way to make it feel like Christmas, no matter where they go in life. My hope is that they'll make gingerbread houses wherever they go in life and always think of home.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者一家將制作姜餅屋變成了家庭傳統。作者希望通過這一傳統讓孩子們將“家”永遠放在心中。
28．How did the author feel about making gingerbread houses at first？(　　)
A．It needed talent to learn.
B．It was relaxing and interesting.
C．It made her family connected.
D．It was time－wasting and unproductive.
答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段中的gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.可知，作者認為制作姜餅屋是一件需要付出很多時間和努力，但是產出和回報很少的一件事情。strike sb. as給(某人以……)印象；eat up大量耗費。
29．What changed the author's opinion of gingerbread houses？(　　)
A．Her kids' encouragement.
B．A gingerbread house contest.
C．The meaning behind gingerbread houses.
D．Competition among gingerbread businesses.
答案：B
解析：理解具體信息。根據第二段中的But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest.和第三段中的Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group.以及最后一段中的If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try.可知，從五年前的一次姜餅屋比賽之后，作者改變了對制作姜餅屋的看法。
30．What was special about the author's gingerbread house？(　　)
A．It had a surprising taste.
B．It had a store－bought style.
C．It was made with the best shape.
D．It was completely made by her family.
答案：D
解析：理解具體信息。根據第三段中的Our houses are not very beautiful ... my husband refers to it jokingly as “the slanty shanty”．可知，作者認為，和別的參賽家庭相比，她家的姜餅屋是她和家人從頭到尾制作的，沒有借助任何模具。
31．Why does the author keep the gingerbread house making tradition？(　　)
A．To remind her kids of the meaning of different festivals.
B．To make her kids keep family in their minds.
C．To encourage her kids to be creative.
D．To teach her kids to be unique.
答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中What I hope, too, is that this tradition will give my kids a way to make it feel like Christmas, no matter where they go in life. My hope is that they'll make gingerbread houses wherever they go in life and always think of home.可知，作者將制作姜餅屋作為家庭傳統的目的是希望自己的孩子將“家”永遠放在心中。

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple－themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果園).If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。全文介紹了蘋果節上各種各樣的蘋果。雖說是Apple Day，但該節日會持續接近一個月的時間。在這段時間里，我們可以品嘗到很多稀有品種的蘋果。如果想品嘗各種各樣的蘋果，就來參加Apple Day吧！
32．What can people do at the apple events？(　　)
A．Attend experts' lectures.
B．Visit fruit－loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
答案：D
解析：細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.”可知，參加蘋果節可以看到并經常品嘗到各種各樣的蘋果。故選D。
33．What can we learn about Decio？(　　)
A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“...it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.”可知，見到它會讓人開闊眼界并且可以與稀奇的Cat's Head這一品種類比，由此判斷Decio非常稀少。
34．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(　　)
A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope.
C．A brilliant plan. D．A selfish desire.
答案：B
解析：詞義猜測題。根據本段中的“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...”可知，盡管Orleans Reinette是很好的品種，但是對種植環境要求很高，因此大多數喜歡它的人想種植它的希望會落空。
35．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？(　　)
A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.
答案：B
解析：寫作意圖題。根據文章第一段中的“If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.”和第二段中的“Visiting an apple event...”以及后文介紹節日上的各類蘋果可知，作者在介紹蘋果節。

36．答案：G
解析：前句說到在許多文化中1月1日標志著新的一年的開始，空后提到家庭團聚，由此判斷，空格處應引出中國的新年這一話題。故選G。
37．答案：D
解析：根據本段主題句“Spring cleaning.”以及空后“freshly cleaned house”可知，此處應解釋主題內容，即和打掃房子有關。故選D。

40．答案：F
解析：本段介紹的是吃餃子的習俗。空前說到餃子象征的意義，空格內容應該承接此內容，即餃子吃得越多，來年得到的財富就越多。故選F。

57．答案：supporter
解析：考查名詞。根據空格前為基數詞One提示其后的名詞為單數形式。
58．答案：actually

63．答案：to feel
解析：考查非謂語動詞。句意： 它提供了你再次感到人類的機會。名詞chance后接不定式作定語。
64．答案：an
解析：考查形容詞。空后名詞event為單數， 且event前面的形容詞exciting的首字母發音為元音。
65．答案：reality
解析：考查名詞。句意： 然后去看看窗外的世界， 讓你完美的一天成為現實吧！ 空格前為不定冠詞a, 提示其后的名詞為單數形式。

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I bought a small house in a good neighborhood. It was a oneandahalffloor house. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. I started to paint the walls and the doors outside. I also broke the broken fence (籬笆) and grew some flowers.
After I finished painting the walls of the bedroom upstairs inside, I brought up some water to wash the window. I washed the inside first, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn't open from the outside.
I was so devoted to my housework that I didn't realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning; I tried to open the window but failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor's kids riding their bikes They used to ride back from the park. Now no young voices shouted to one another. Carroll and Julie, an old couple, lived in the house at the corner. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them.
I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, they couldn't walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked by my husband before he went to work. “When you're working on an indoor project, anyone could open the door and come in. So just keep the doors closed.” he said. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and what I should do.
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2．請按如下格式作答。
Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby.
___________________________________________________________
The boy went to ask for help.
___________________________________________________________
參考范文：
Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. I stood up and looked down the street. Sure enough, there was a little boy. He was riding his bike. I told him that I was washing the window and it was shut. He looked up, saw me, and laughed. After all, it's not an everyday case that you see an old lady on a roof. I told him to ask my next－door neighbors to come and help me. “Of course，” he simply answered.
The boy went to ask for help. Soon Carroll and Julie came, bringing a long rope with them. And then I climbed down. I sincerely thanked them for their kind help. The doors were locked and the keys were in the house, so my lovely neighbors invited me to their house to celebrate my rescue with coffee, cookies, and laughter. A few hours later, my husband came back. I said thanks to them again and went home. From then on, I definitely believe that a far－off relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor.單元檢測卷(一)

Mikah Frye, a 9－year－old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night.Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.
That thought stayed in Mikah Frye's mind and when he reached home, Mikah told his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realised that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless.He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.
Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter.Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night.Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.
Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalised message of hope in Mikah's handwriting stating “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it.That's why I want you to have your own blanket.Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too.Your friend, Mikah.”
The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion－dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa's list of nice boys” that year.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一個九歲男孩放棄自己的圣誕禮物為無家可歸的人買毛毯的感人故事。

A．The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.
B. He finally got the gift he wanted at Christmas.

I am a self－taught maker of gingerbread(姜餅) houses. It wasn't something I ever did growing up. In fact, gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking (烘焙) project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.
But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest (比賽). I went home and told my kids and we made a house from the start. It took all day and we were covered in icing, but I was blown away by the final product. It was so satisfying to see a little house, decorated with colorful candy. I delivered the house to the library, where it won first place in the family group, and we got a generous $100 in gift certificates (禮券) for local businesses.
Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group. Our houses are not very beautiful; the only thing that sets them apart is the fact that we make the gingerbread from the start. Everyone else uses store－bought ready－made pieces, which makes the houses look the same. Ours, by contrast, is misshapen and leans; my husband refers to it jokingly as “the slanty shanty (傾斜的小屋)”．
If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try. What better way to use that time than making something great with your kids What I hope, too, is that this tradition will give my kids a way to make it feel like Christmas, no matter where they go in life. My hope is that they'll make gingerbread houses wherever they go in life and always think of home.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者一家將制作姜餅屋變成了家庭傳統。作者希望通過這一傳統讓孩子們將“家”永遠放在心中。
28．How did the author feel about making gingerbread houses at first？(　　)
A．It needed talent to learn.
B．It was relaxing and interesting.
C．It made her family connected.
D．It was time－wasting and unproductive.
答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段中的gingerbread houses struck me as an awful lot of work for little return, a baking project that would eat up the time I could spend doing something more productive.可知，作者認為制作姜餅屋是一件需要付出很多時間和努力，但是產出和回報很少的一件事情。strike sb. as給(某人以……)印象；eat up大量耗費。
29．What changed the author's opinion of gingerbread houses？(　　)
A．Her kids' encouragement.
B．A gingerbread house contest.
C．The meaning behind gingerbread houses.
D．Competition among gingerbread businesses.
答案：B
解析：理解具體信息。根據第二段中的But, five years ago, I saw a sign at the library announcing a gingerbread house contest.和第三段中的Every year since then, my kids and I have attended the gingerbread house contest, and every year we've won the family group.以及最后一段中的If you haven't made a gingerbread house before, I highly recommend you give it a try.可知，從五年前的一次姜餅屋比賽之后，作者改變了對制作姜餅屋的看法。
30．What was special about the author's gingerbread house？(　　)
A．It had a surprising taste.
B．It had a store－bought style.
C．It was made with the best shape.
D．It was completely made by her family.
答案：D
解析：理解具體信息。根據第三段中的Our houses are not very beautiful ... my husband refers to it jokingly as “the slanty shanty”．可知，作者認為，和別的參賽家庭相比，她家的姜餅屋是她和家人從頭到尾制作的，沒有借助任何模具。
31．Why does the author keep the gingerbread house making tradition？(　　)
A．To remind her kids of the meaning of different festivals.
B．To make her kids keep family in their minds.
C．To encourage her kids to be creative.
D．To teach her kids to be unique.
答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中What I hope, too, is that this tradition will give my kids a way to make it feel like Christmas, no matter where they go in life. My hope is that they'll make gingerbread houses wherever they go in life and always think of home.可知，作者將制作姜餅屋作為家庭傳統的目的是希望自己的孩子將“家”永遠放在心中。

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple－themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果園).If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。全文介紹了蘋果節上各種各樣的蘋果。雖說是Apple Day，但該節日會持續接近一個月的時間。在這段時間里，我們可以品嘗到很多稀有品種的蘋果。如果想品嘗各種各樣的蘋果，就來參加Apple Day吧！
32．What can people do at the apple events？(　　)
A．Attend experts' lectures.
B．Visit fruit－loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
答案：D
解析：細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.”可知，參加蘋果節可以看到并經常品嘗到各種各樣的蘋果。故選D。
33．What can we learn about Decio？(　　)
A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“...it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.”可知，見到它會讓人開闊眼界并且可以與稀奇的Cat's Head這一品種類比，由此判斷Decio非常稀少。
34．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(　　)
A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope.
C．A brilliant plan. D．A selfish desire.
答案：B
解析：詞義猜測題。根據本段中的“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...”可知，盡管Orleans Reinette是很好的品種，但是對種植環境要求很高，因此大多數喜歡它的人想種植它的希望會落空。
35．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？(　　)
A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.
答案：B
解析：寫作意圖題。根據文章第一段中的“If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.”和第二段中的“Visiting an apple event...”以及后文介紹節日上的各類蘋果可知，作者在介紹蘋果節。

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I bought a small house in a good neighborhood. It was a oneandahalffloor house. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. I started to paint the walls and the doors outside. I also broke the broken fence (籬笆) and grew some flowers.
After I finished painting the walls of the bedroom upstairs inside, I brought up some water to wash the window. I washed the inside first, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn't open from the outside.
I was so devoted to my housework that I didn't realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning; I tried to open the window but failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor's kids riding their bikes They used to ride back from the park. Now no young voices shouted to one another. Carroll and Julie, an old couple, lived in the house at the corner. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them.
I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, they couldn't walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked by my husband before he went to work. “When you're working on an indoor project, anyone could open the door and come in. So just keep the doors closed.” he said. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and what I should do.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

參考范文：
Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. I stood up and looked down the street. Sure enough, there was a little boy. He was riding his bike. I told him that I was washing the window and it was shut. He looked up, saw me, and laughed. After all, it's not an everyday case that you see an old lady on a roof. I told him to ask my next－door neighbors to come and help me. “Of course，” he simply answered.
The boy went to ask for help. Soon Carroll and Julie came, bringing a long rope with them. And then I climbed down. I sincerely thanked them for their kind help. The doors were locked and the keys were in the house, so my lovely neighbors invited me to their house to celebrate my rescue with coffee, cookies, and laughter. A few hours later, my husband came back. I said thanks to them again and went home. From then on, I definitely believe that a far－off relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor.
