五、阅读理解。
A bag is useful and the word "bag" is useful, too. Here is an interesting phrase—"to let the cat out of the bag". It is "to tell the secret". And there is an old interesting story about it.
When people want to sell chickens at the market, they usually just put the chickens in bags. But cats are cheaper than chickens, so many people put cats into the bags instead of chickens. One day, a woman asks a man for a chicken. The man gives her a bag with a cat in it. ▲ But when the woman opens the bag, a big black cat runs out—not a chicken! Everyone knows the man's secret.
Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say "he lets the cat out of the bag". And that is the story behind the interesting phrase.
1. The underlined phrase "gives away" in Chinese means "".
A. 捐赠
B. 泄露
C. 保守

五、1. B 词义猜测题。根据"Now when we say someone
gives away a secret, we say 'he lets the cat out of the bag'."可知,画线词在文中意为"泄露"。
2. D 推理判断题。根据"The man gives her a bag with a cat in it... But when the woman opens the bag, a big black cat runs out..."可知,男人把装有猫的袋子给了女人,女
人应是想看袋子里装的是不是鸡,于是打开袋子。
3. D 推理判断题。根据"And that is the story behind the interesting phrase."可知,作者写这个故事是为了告诉我们
这个短语的来源。

【分析】
1. 第1题是词义猜测题，需找到画线短语的对应语境信息：文中明确“gives away a secret”对应短语“let the cat out of the bag”，而该短语意为“tell the secret”，据此可推断画线短语的词义；
2. 第2题是信息还原题，需结合前后文逻辑：前文是男人给女人装有猫的袋子，后文是女人打开袋子猫跑出，中间需补充女人想看袋子里是否是鸡的逻辑；
3. 第3题是主旨大意题，需关注文章结尾：最后一句点明故事是该短语的来源，据此确定作者写作目的。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：根据文中“Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say 'he lets the cat out of the bag'”，结合前文对“let the cat out of the bag”的解释“to tell the secret”，可知“gives away”意为“泄露”，故选B；
2. 信息还原题：前文提到“the man gives her a bag with a cat in it”，后文是“when the woman opens the bag, a big black cat runs out”，由此可推知，女人想看袋子里是否是鸡才打开袋子，故选D；
3. 主旨大意题：文章结尾明确“that is the story behind the interesting phrase”，说明作者讲述这个故事是为了介绍“let the cat out of the bag”这个短语的来源，故选D。

六、[核心素养]任务型阅读。
人与自我——生活与学习
我的英国留学生活
I'm Peter. I study in an English middle school for one year.
I have many teachers this year. Mr. Heywood, my class teacher and English teacher, is very nice. He helps with my English, so my English is good now. And I practice English every day—I read English for thirty minutes in the morning, and for one hour before going to bed. I usually go to the computer club on Wednesdays, so I can e-mail my family and friends for free. I also have an English class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking is really fun when I learn how to buy, prepare and cook food. When this term finishes, we have a class party and we all cook some dishes. I'm very happy that my classmates like the dish I make.
I have to study math, English and science, but I don't have to study the subjects I don't like. I don't study history or French, but I study art and computer science. I usually play soccer with the boys after school, but sometimes I just relax under the tree.
I like this kind of life, and I really want to go back and study in the school again.

1. What is Mr. Heywood's job?
