20．Nothing could stop Dad．After he was put on disability for a bad back，he bought a small farm in the country，just enough to grow food for the family．He planted vegetables，fruit trees and even kept bees for honey．
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）．The smell really burned the inside of your nose．When we complained（抱怨） about the terrible smell，Dad said the stronger the manure，the healthier the crops，and he was right．For example，just one of his cantaloupes（甜瓜） filled the entire house with its sweet smell，and the taste was even sweeter．
As the vegetables started coming in，Dad threw himself into cooking．One day，armed with a basket of vegetables，he announced（宣稱） he was going to make stew（燉菜）．Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages，eggplants，potatoes，corns，onions and carrots．For about half an hour，the pressure built and the vegetables cooked．Finally，Dad turned off the stove，the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam．If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad，this was 10 times worse．When Dad took off the lid，the smell nearly knocked us out．
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house．Just how bad was it？The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined，Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around．It didn't look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didn't offend the nose so much，either．I took a taste．It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．
29．Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin's chicken house regularly？C
A．To earn some money for the family．
B．To get rid of the terrible smell．
C．To collect manure for his crops．
D．To set a good example to us．
30．What can we infer about Dad's stew？B
A．It is popular among the neighbours．
B．It tastes quite delicious．
C．It looks very wonderful．
D．It contains honey and vegetables．
31．What does the underlined word"offend"in the last paragraph mean？B
A．To attract．
B．To upset．
C．To air．
D．To shut．
32．What can we learn about Dad from the text？C
A．He is an experienced cook．
B．He is a troublesome father．
C．He has a positive attitude to life．
D．He suffers a lot from his disability．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者的父親患了背病，但是堅強的父親仍堅持自己種菜，本文作者就第一視角記錄了與父親直接的點點滴滴．

解答 29．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段"he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）．"可知，清理雞舍為的是得到肥料．in exchange for：以…交換．故此題應選C．
30．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段內容，尤其是"It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．"可知，燉菜的味道不錯，最后一口湯都被喝光了．故此題應選B．
31．B．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)最后一段"It didn't look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didn't offend the nose so much，either．I took a taste．It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．"句意可知，看起來也沒有那么壞，雖然最初我閉上了鼻子，不過也沒有____我的鼻子，猜測應該是"使…不適，不舒服"的意思．故此題應選B．意思"打亂，攪亂"．
32．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)本文內容可知，父親背部有殘疾，但還買了農場，精心耕種．收獲后，自己做燉菜．由此可以看出父親有著積極的生活態(tài)度．故此題應選C．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

4．Rome，Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities，all of which have produced some of the top
trends，from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes．But have you ever wondered about the negative
ideas that they have enforced？
  In April 2016，the Advertising Standards Authority （ASA） in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that
featured models dancing around and having fun，because they were all extremely skinny．Banning ads due
to the models'extreme figures isn't new．The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason．In France，it
has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note proving that they are at a healthy weight．
   So what is the healthy weight for models？Twenty years ago，the average fashion model weighed 8%
less than the average woman．Today，they weigh 23% less．
   People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models
do．This provides a standard for beauty，and therefore people who want to achieve those things may
attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways．People may think they are overweight，due to the images
of models'thin figures．They see something wrong with their bodies，whether they are overweight or not．This is a key factor in a lowered body image，low self-esteem，depression and possibly even eating
disorders．
  I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means．It's not their fault that many people look up to
the models and expect to live a life like theirs．I am glad that ASA is raising its voices when discussing the
growing issue of body images in the fashion industry．By banning the photos and videos，speaking out
against them and pushing for doctors'notes from the models，it's pushing for the idea that the traditional
fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned．

51．One of Gucci's ads was banned mainly becauseA．
A．its models are much too thin
B．none of its models had a doctor's note
C．models didn't act according to the rules
D．its models were dancing in an unhealthy way
52．The numbers mentioned in Paragrapg 3 show thatC．
A．people don't know why models weigh less
B．many women are on a diet to become models
C．models are becoming thinner with time going by
D．the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided
53．What does the fourth paragraph mainly show？A
A．The negative effects of models'images．
B．People's attitude towards models'images．
C．The benefits of becoming thin figures．
D．The changes in the standard of beauty．
54．The possible purpose of the ASA's measures is toB．
A．change the fortune models'are faced with
B．set up new standards of models'body images
C．criticize the traditional standards for models
D．encourage more people to live a life like models
55．What is the author's tone of writing this passage？C
A．Critical．
B．Humorous．
C．Objective．
D．Hopeful．
