I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop, and asked him to select the ripest (成熟的) bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted（转移）sharply from reality.Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class?My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son. So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual question, “Does anyone have any grapes?” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to take out the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.24. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 3?A. researchB. imaginationC. surveyD. use25. How did the author feel when she left the shop?A. GratefulB.

Jeremy prepared for the coming party.C. The author taught Jeremy to select goods.D. The teacher inspired Jeremy to share grapes.CSome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 yearsago. In September 2018, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement (执行) of building codes (建筑法规) wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings (桩) —long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate (提升) the house above storm waves. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. I n the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.28. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shore line should ________.A. be easily reinforcedB. look smarter in designC. be designed in the shape of cubesD. satisfy higher building standards29. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ____.A. prevent water from rushing into the houseB. make stronger pilings deep in the sandC. break huge sea waves into smaller onesD. withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr30. The main function of the shell is _______.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to protect the wooden frame of the houseC. to give the house a better appearanceD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water31. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _____.A. fancy-lookingB. water-proofC. extremely strongD. easily breakableDA good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabu lary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hanna h Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person beca use all I could talk about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2018 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony (反话)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US do n’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.32. It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ________.A. there tends to be something behind the words of a joke in a foreign languageB. humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammarC. vocabulary and grammar help you understand jokes in a foreign languageD. making jokes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign language33. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?A. She thinks that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C. She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the EnglishD. She found humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.34. Joe Wong is used as an example to _________.A. show that it’s hard to put jokes into a nother languageB. suggest that there are cultural differences in humorC. prove that local people have different taste in humorD. show that expressing ability affects the sense of humor35. From the article we can learn that ________.A. jokes about sports are difficult for people to understandB. Americans are generally more humorous than British peopleC. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortableD. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily第二节（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。
