While preparing for an interview,I found myself reflecting on my reading journey.Being a writer and book lover,one would naturally suppose that I started to be eager for literature the moment I learned that C-A-T was spelled cat.The truth is that at one time my mom had to pay me to read.
Growing up in a school where teachers didn’t quite know what to do with boys like me,I saw reading as a frightening thing that would always be difficult.Then I discovered books that grabbed my imagination—stories like The Little House Series,The Biography of Helen Keller,and A Little Princess.Can you imagine that a reluctant(不情愿的) reader become a bookworm and later an author
This list of “Books that Changed My Life” now decorates my desk.This is a beautiful representation of stories that are so precious that they feel like part of me.
The Secret Garden—I was convinced that if I looked hard enough,I would find a neglected garden in my backyard and bring it back to life.
A Friend in the Storm—This book of poetry,written by another sweet author,has made me through some of my life’s most intense storms.
The Diary of a Young Girl—This book made me want to be a writer someday.
Les Miserable—I thought reading this book would give me impressive bragging(吹牛) rights.Instead,I wrote a 3-part blog post for the book,giving it to kids as gifts.
Every book in the list inspired,comforted or challenged me.Now I have realised that,while many are well-known titles,a few were written by not-so-famous friends,reminding me that we should believe ourselves and never know what we will do with our talents.

Jason threw the papers on my desk—his eyebrows knit into a straight line as he glared at me.He pointed a finger at the paper.“Next time you want to change anything,ask me first,” he said,turning on his heels and leaving me in anger.“How dare he treat me like that,” I thought.I had changed one long sentence,and corrected grammar,something I thought I was paid to do.
As the weeks went by,I grew to dislike Jason.One day,another of his episodes left me in tears.I stormed into his office,prepared to let the man know how I felt.I sat across from him and said calmly,“Jason,the way you’ve been treating me is wrong.I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way.As a professional,it’s wrong,and I can’ allow it to continue.”
Jason assumed a nervous smile and leaned back in his chair.I closed my eyes briefly.“I want to make you a promise.I will be a friend,” I said.“I will treat you as you deserve to be treated,with respect and kindness.You deserve that.Everybody does.” I slipped out of the chair and closed the door behind me.
Jason avoided me the rest of the week.Papers and letters appeared on my desk while I was at lunch,and my corrected versions were not seen again.I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk.Another day I left a note.“Hope your day is going great,” it read.Over the next few weeks,Jason reappeared but there were no other episodes.
One year after our “talk”,I discovered I had cancer.I was thirty-two,the mother of three young children,scared.Friends and loved ones visited and tried to find the right words to comfort me.No one knew what to say,and many said the wrong things.Others wept.

One day,Jason came into the hospital room awkwardly,and placed a box beside me.“Tulips,” he said.I grinned,not understanding.He shuffled his feet,and then cleared his throat.“If you plant them when you get home,they’ll come up next spring.I just wanted you to know that I think you’ll be there to see them when they come up.” Tears clouded my eyes and I reached out my hand.“Thank you,” I whispered.Jason grasped my hand and gruffly replied,“You’re welcome.You can’t see them now,but next spring you’ll see the colours I picked out for you.I think you’ll like them.” He turned and left without another word.
For ten years,I have watched those red and white flowers blossom every spring.In fact,this September,doctors declared me cured and I’ve watched my children graduate from high school and go on to college.In a moment when I prayed for just the right word,a man with very few words said all the right things.After all,that’s what friends do.Section C　Extended reading,Project,Assessment & Further study

(2021·河北秦皇岛高二检测)
There’s no doubt that Dolly Parton knows how to light up a stage;however,she’s also spent a number of decades trying to bring a spark to children’s education.
Through programs such as the Buddy Program and the Imagination Library,the American singer is sharing her passion for giving kids a better chance in life across the states and further in the UK,Australia,Canada and Ireland.
Among other charity efforts,Parton was inspired to introduce the Buddy Program after seeing the alarming dropout rate in her hometown of Sevierville,Tennessee,in 1990.That year 34% of schoolkids dropped out of high school—a decision they reached around fifth or sixth grade.The figures were so shocking that Parton decided to inspire kids with her new program.So,in the same year,she invited the fifth and sixth graders to her amusement park,Dollywood.She gathered the pupils and asked them to pair up with a friend as part of a motivating buddy system.If both children went on to graduate,she said she would offer them both a $500 check as a reward.That year the percentage of kids abandoning their education dropped to an unbelievable 6%,and continues to be around that rate today.
It was after the success of the Buddy Program that Parton wanted to address the issue of early education even further.To help give kids from disadvantaged backgrounds a better chance at school,the singer started her Imagination Library in 1995.Over the following 25 years the program has seen babies and toddlers enjoy new books every month thanks to her generosity.
And the singer shows no sign of stopping.In 2020,she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University to try and help research in the fight against COVID -19.

Our friendship runs back to our college days when I first met Rishi.We had our own share of “first impression” about each other.Mine was—she’s a lovely,charming and full of life personality.Hers was—I look like an arrogant(傲慢的) personality.I don’t blame her for this.Many of my close friends had the same view when they first met me.Blame it on my bitch face and me being a shy person to some extent.
We became really close within a short period of time.Ours was a group of four people divided into 2 each during our final year when we both chose advertising as our specialization and the other two chose journalism.Back then,I was a regular user of BBM messenger and hardly used Whatsapp.
On one specific occasion,we had really bad argument about a failed project.The usual blame game was on.We decided to put it past us and focus on our studies.During this time,she once handed me her phone to show me a picture.While I was going through that,I came across a message from a particular Whatsapp group that comprises of her and my other two friends.I asked her permission to view the group.She had a blank expression on her face.But she allowed me to go ahead.
I was in shock while going through their messages.Not really positive things were said about me in particular.It shook me.Because these were the people I considered my friends.I broke down in front of her.She apologised.But I felt cheated on.I told her about my decision of not wanting to continue this friendship further.We both missed each other.But neither of us wanted to give the last try.

Want to Be Happy at Work Care Less About It
A friend recently told me that she was ready to quit her job,explaining to me that there were big changes at her workplace and no way she could perform all her tasks on time.　1　
For many of us introverts(内向的人),our professional efforts and results are a reflection of ourselves and our dedication to our employer.Because we aren’t the social butterflies of the office,we feel a need to prove to our superiors that we are smart,hard-working,and dependable.For people like me and my close-to-quitting friend,the concept of giving anything less than our best doesn’t cross our mind.
　2　We are disappointed and frustrated when we can’t always achieve those standards.
It’s great to make a difference at work,but you have to take care of yourself first.Putting in slightly less effort in times of high stress doesn’t mean you don’t care about your job.　3　Consider this saying:The perfect is the enemy of the good.When you reduce the pressure on yourself to attain perfection,you can flow more quickly and easily through your tasks.　4　
Here is my advice for you when you find yourself in the midst of panic.
First,ask yourself:what’s the worst that will happen if I miss a deadline by one day
　5　 Write down the specific tasks that are causing the feelings of stress.Talk it out with a friend or family members.You might discover that the situation isn’t as horrible as you thought.By approaching your tasks one at a time you can make real progress.
A.We set high standards for ourselves.
B.It means you care about yourself more.
C.The pressure on yourself should ‘t be ignored.
D.You might achieve more when you care less.
E.As her friend who’d been in a similar situation,I wanted to help.
F.Next,slow down and analyze what,precisely,is stressing you out.
G.Freedom from the weight of perfection can be creatively liberating.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者劝解要辞职的朋友,工作中要想快乐,就要少一些担心,不要考虑太多,不要太过追求工作中的完美。
1.E　文章首段叙述作者的一个朋友准备辞职和辞职的原因,故E项符合语境。
2.A　下文写到“当我们不能总是达到那些标准时,我们感到失望和沮丧”。A项符合行文逻辑。
3.B　上句表示“在压力很大的时候,减少一点点努力并不意味着你不关心你的工作”,故B项符合要求。
4.G　根据上文中的信息词 perfect以及 perfection可知,G项符合语境。
5.F　上文介绍了作者的第一条建议,故F项符合行文逻辑。

2.humans　考查名词。句意:当你在山顶时,你看到的滚滚云海会提醒你,我们人类是多么渺小。分析句子结构可知,此处需要用humans作we的同位语。
3.undoubtedly　考查副词。结合句子结构可知,此处应用副词undoubtedly修饰动词help。
4.hotter　考查形容词比较级。句意:温泉的奇妙之处在于,温度越低,泉水越热!此处为“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”结构,表示“越……,越……”。
5.astonished　考查形容词。leave us astonished表示“使我们感到惊讶”,本句中的astonished为形容词作宾语补足语,对us的状态进行解释和说明。
6.was　考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:你不禁会想,对当时的人们来说,把那些石头放到适当的位置是多么的困难。根据句意及时间状语then可知,此处应该用一般过去时,且由于主语为it,故填was。
7.and　考查连词。设空处后的offers与前面的highlights并列作谓语,故填and。
8.aching　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应该用aching修饰名词legs,表示“疼痛的腿”。
9.mine　考查代词。句意:正如歌中所唱,这条漫长而曲折的道路“永远不会消失”,它将永远留在游客的记忆中。它也肯定会留在我的记忆里。结合句意可知,此处表示“我的记忆中”,故用名词性物主代词mine,相当于my memory。
10.a　考查冠词。句意:当你在中国的时候,黄山是必到之地!此处在must前加冠词a表示“一件必须做的事”。第三单元测评

Hello,everyone.Today I’m going to talk about small talk,that is,short conversations people often have with strangers they meet.Such exchanges occur at bus stops,on buses,while waiting in line,almost anywhere that strangers gather close together.As a matter of fact,these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness.Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics.The topics may include weather,customer service,movies,TV shows,local sports or the latest news.But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries,family life,religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations.Besides,it’s better to ask open-ended questions.If you ask visitors,“Do you like
our city ” They may say simply,“Yes”.On the other hand,if you ask,“What do you think of our city ” They will have more freedom in answering.This type of question also shows that you are interested in them.If you appear interested in what people are saying,they’d feel more comfortable talking with you.
17.Who would like to make small talk according to the speaker
A.Relatives.
B.Strangers.
C.Visitors.
答案B

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating (浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean.He has developed a floating device (设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean.He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”.Its purpose is to develop the system.Last year,Slat showed the next step:a floating device called interceptor.It removes plastic out of rivers.The device is powered by energy from the sun.“The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat.Three of the machines have already been used.Each machine costs about $775,660,but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used,the machines have been doing very well,collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers.According to Slat,it is necessary to close “the tap”,which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place.He wanted to clean them all in the next five years.“This is not going to be easy,but if we do get this done,we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers.Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things.It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device.The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers.The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍荷兰年轻发明家发明的一种可以清除河流中塑料垃圾的装置。
24.What do we know about Interceptor
A.It is being under test.
B.It can help sort waste.
C.It needs solar power to work.

25.What does “the tap” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.The rivers. B.The machines.
C.The oceans. D.The interceptors.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“...collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers.According to Slat,it is necessary to close ‘the tap’,which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place.”可知,斯莱特认为减少河里的垃圾,就能阻止垃圾进入海洋。由此猜测,“the tap”指的是上游的河流。
26.What’s the function of the device’s nose
A.To empty the waste.
B.To serve as containers.
C.To ensure the device’s safety.
D.To send operators text messages.
答案C

Children are now more likely to want to work in social media or gaming than traditional careers.According to a new survey,many from seven to 11-year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs,rather than professions such as police officer or doctor.
The survey involved 13,000 UK primary school children.They were asked to draw pictures of the job they wanted to do when they grow up and then tell the reasons.It concluded that children’s career aspirations (志向)are often based on factors such as gender stereotypes (性别角色定型)or what they’ve seen in the media,TV and film.
“For more and more children and young people,online celebrities and YouTube gaming video bloggers have taken the place of TV and movie stars,”the report said.“It could be argued that this is due to the growing fame and attraction of YouTube and video blogging stars,who are especially popular among younger audiences.Also,this may also speak to children’s present worlds.
Many from seven to 11-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps at the same time watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.”
The survey found that 5% of children wanted to be in the police,with the same percentage on becoming doctors.A gender breakdown shows the top job choice for girls was teacher (19%),followed by vet (11%) and sportswoman (9%) and police (8%).
This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools,to ensure that all children can have role models in a wide range of fields to help them develop an awareness of career choices at an early age.“This is vital to ensure that all children—regardless of gender and backgrounds—can fulfill their full potential.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了孩子们的职业观发生了重大改变这一现象,提醒人们要加强企业和学校之间的联系,给所有儿童广泛树立榜样,帮助他们从小培养择业意识。
28.What is the traditional career choice,according to the passage
A.Police officer.
B.Online celebrity.
C.Professional game-player.
D.Video blogger.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“According to a new survey,many from seven to 11-year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs,rather than professions such as police officer or doctor.”可知,警察和医生是传统的职业选择。
29.What’s the favourite thing children from seven to eleven love to do according to the survey
A.Play games and watch popular TV series.
B.Participate in various sports in order to be sportsmen or sportswomen.
C.Study hard and make great efforts to become teachers and police officers.
D.Play games and watch celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段“Many from seven to 11-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps at the same time watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.”可知,D项符合题意。
30.What’s the purpose of the survey
A.To strengthen the importance of studying hard.
B.To give children more advice to choose future careers.
C.To give parents some suggestions to educate their children.
D.To stress the importance of ties between employers and schools.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools”可知,这个调查的目的是强调加强雇主和学校之间的联系的重要性。
31.In which column can you probably read the article
A.Science. B.Education.
C.Sports. D.Culture.
答案B
解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲的是孩子职业观发生变化这一现象而引发的教育问题,所以应该出现在教育专栏里。

(2021·山东青岛高二期末)
Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space.You listen to your favorite songs,play loud computer games or watch a movie—all without other people hearing the sound.That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems,an Israeli company.
On Friday,the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut.The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie.The sound seems so close that it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front,above and behind them.
Noveto expects the device will have many uses.Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing.People could play a game,a movie or music without waking up others in the same room.Because the device does not use headphones,it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.
The device uses a 3D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener.It sends ultrasonic waves (超声波) to create sound pockets by the user’s ears.Sound can be heard in stereo or 3D.The 3D method creates sound on all sides of the listener.By changing a setting,the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head.It also is possible to move out of the sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all.
While the idea of sound beaming is not new,Noveto was the first to launch the technology.Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述以色列一家名为“诺维托”的公司开发了“声音光束”新技术,不用耳机就可以传送声音。
32.What do we know about Sound Beamer
A.It’s a device appearing in the science fiction movie.
B.Listeners got its sound through a receiver.
C.It can prevent other sound being heard.
D.The smaller one will be on market next year.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.” 可知,这款设备的小尺寸版本将于明年向消费者推出,故选D项。
33.What does the underlined word “debut” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.New version. B.First appearance.
C.Another failure. D.Some doubt.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据本句“Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut.”可知,应该是在它同大众见面之前要进行测试。由此猜测debut意为“首次亮相”,与First appearance同义。
34.What does the fourth paragraph tell us
A.How the device works.
B.How to use the device.
C.The device’s advantage.
D.Why the device is invented.
答案A
解析主旨大意题。根据文章第四段可知,该设备使用3D技术,可以发现并跟踪听者耳朵的位置。它通过发送超声波在使用者的耳朵旁制造出声音袋。声音可以以立体声或三维的方式听到。三维方法在听者的四周发出声音。通过改变设置,当听者移动头部时,声音就会跟着听者移动。如果离开了声束的路径,也有可能什么也听不到。由此可知,该段主要叙述的是该设备的工作原理。
35.What is the text mainly about
A.The introduction of a new device—sound beamer.
B.The usage of 3D technology.
C.The influence brought by sound beamer.
D.3D technology and listening experience.
答案A
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍以色列一家名为“诺维托”的公司开发了“声音光束”新技术,不用耳机就可以传送声音,所以选A项。

Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was 19 and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people.Mark Zuckerberg owns one of the most highly-valued tech companies in America.Steve Jobs founded Apple in his garage.What do these three people have in common 　36　 In fact,there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.
　37　 The short answer is “YES”,despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree.But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree—especially to the level that Gates,Zuckerberg,and Jobs did—is the exception,not the general rule.　38　
Let’s look at some statistics.Through 2021,there will be 55 million job openings in America.　39　 Even when a job does not require it,91 percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.
Needless to say,people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job.Hence,they are more financially secure.Of course,financial security is not everything.　40　 The people you meet in college will become part of an institutional support network that you can later call upon for work advancements,guiding programs,and additional skill-building prospects.
A.None of them finished college.
B.What does a college degree ensure you
C.There’s more to a degree than earning potential.
D.Success starts the day they get bachelor’s degrees.
E.Is a college degree still necessary in today’s world
F.75 percent of those will require a bachelor’s degree.
G.For most people,earning a bachelor’s degree still gives them clear advantages.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了取得大学学位的重要性和必要性,以及大学学位对于未来工作的影响等。
36.A　根据上文“What do these three people have in common ”可知,A项“他们都没有读完大学”是对上文的回答。
37.E　根据后文“The short answer is ‘YES’”(简短的回答是“是的”)可知,上文是一个问句,E项“在当今世界,大学学位仍然是必要的吗 ”符合语境。
38.G　上文提到没有学位的成功是例外,不是普遍规律,说明对于大多数人来说,获得大学学位是有必要的。故G项“对于大多数人来说,获得大学学位仍然给他们带来明显的优势”符合语境。
39.F　根据上文“Let’s look at some statistics.Through 2021,there will be 55 million job openings in America.”以及后文“Even when a job does not require it,91 percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.”可知,本段主要在说明美国的工作普遍要求有大学学位,F项中those指代上文中55 million job openings。
40.C　上文提到拥有大学学位在经济上更有保障,后文则提到大学遇到的人将来可以寻求他们的支持,说明学位带来的除了赚钱的潜力,还有其他的东西。故C项“除了赚钱的潜力,学位还有更多的东西”符合语境。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在城市中生活有太大压力,而在哥伦比亚波哥大的一些人找到了一个可以缓解压力的地方。该处有一片森林,这里已经变成了人与鸟都能享受一片宁静的地方。
56.stressful　考查形容词。所填的词位于be之后作表语,所以用形容词形式,故填stressful。
57.a　考查冠词。前有形容词peaceful修饰名词break,空处填冠词修饰名词,表泛指,故填a。
58.sits　考查动词时态和主谓一致。主语the park,时态为一般现在时,所以填sits。
59.known　考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,a place与动词know构成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。
60.to　考查介词。from...to“从……到……”。
61.that/who　考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知,此处是限制性定语从句。先行词是inhabitants,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故填that/who。
62.to mix　考查非谓语动词。句子的主语是his job,句子是主系表结构,所以用动词不定式作表语。
63.feeders　考查名词的数。feeder“饲养槽,进食器”是可数名词,前面没有单数修饰语,所以用复数形式。
64.meaning　考查非谓语动词。所填的词是非谓语动词。主语和mean是逻辑上的主动关系,所以填meaning。
65.Presently　考查副词。所填的词修饰整个句子,所以用副词形式。

Civilized Campus Starts From Me
Aimed at enhancing the students’ awareness of labour,a thorough cleaning themed on Civilized Campus Starts From Me was organized by our school last Sunday.
With great passion,all the students in our school got involved in various work,ranging from cleaning the dining hall,arranging books in the library to cleaning up the garbage at campus.With our joint efforts,the campus soon took on a new look.Tired though we were,we were in high spirits.
Not only did we obtain a brand-new insight into the meaning of labour,but we would cherish the fruits of others’ labour.

(2021·山东青岛高二期末)
Paul and Marie lived in Hossegor,a fashionable seaside resort (度假村) on the Atlantic coast of southern France.They were both in their late fifties.She had dark eyes and black hair while he was a little taller,with gray eyes.
They started a small company when they were young.Through many years of hard work,they established themselves against strong competition.They always worked many hours every day together in their office,often until late into the night,even on weekends,knowing that only very good work would provide them with loyal customers and success.
After years,they were able to buy a pretty little apartment in a modern building with a balcony (阳台) overlooking a large and beautiful garden that featured a beautiful lawn,some decorative bushes all around,some trees here and there,a small pond in the middle,and even a decorative fountain.
Inside their apartment,everything was very tidy,yet a bit artistic.There were some nice pictures on the walls—dreams of beauty in nature—and on a glass shelf,Paul’s collection of toy locomotives (火车头),symbols of his dreams of exciting travel.Actually Marie had been interested in drawing and painting since she was a little girl,but she has no time to develop her talent because of her busy work.
Thus went week after week and year after year until a terrible accident happened to their company,causing a heavy financial loss to them.One of their ships,carrying a variety of goods,knocked into a floating iceberg on its trip to America.As a result,the ship got very badly damaged with all its goods and staff on board.When the couple heard the bad news about their ship they burst into tears.Paul became greatly depressed while Marie,who felt less desperate (绝望的) then,tried her best to calm him down by saying that everything would be all right as long as they didn’t lose heart.Gradually,Paul managed to calm himself down and began to face reality.Consequently,they had no choice but to close their company.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

参考范文
It was not long before they had difficulty in supporting themselves.In reality they were unable to afford some necessities in life such as food and clothes,let alone the luxuries that they had been used to possessing.Gradually Paul came up with an idea to sell their apartment to overcome the financial obstacles but it was rejected by Marie instantly.After all,the apartment meant a lot to them and selling it was apparently unbearable.However,what other ways could they find to solve the problem
One day they went to an art exhibit in town.There they saw a picture about a scene of their town but they agreed that it was not impressive.No sooner had Marie returned home than she set about drawing a picture about the same scene.Surprisingly Paul praised her for it and encouraged her to draw more,which greatly increased her confidence.What was more satisfying to them was that a friend offered to purchase it at a high price.It was then that the turning point of their life really arrived.第二单元测评

Good morning and welcome to today’s programme!Feel English too difficult You can get some advice today.Firstly,find a regular and practical study programme,like planning a few minutes every morning before breakfast.This idea may sound useless to you who took English for quite a few years but didn’t become good speakers of the language.As a matter of fact,I don’t mean that you can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here and there,but following a regular course of study can help you on the way to language mastery.Also,small steps,step by step,are the key.For example,planning to learn five new words a day and learning to use them actively are far better than learning 45 words and forgetting them the next day.Thirdly,speaking without fear is important.The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it OK.Don’t let fear stop you from getting what you want.

(2021·山东威海高二期末)
All living organisms are uniquely adapted to the environment in which they live.Scientists are studying the design and the biological processes of these organisms to get ideas for products and technologies.This field of study is called biomimetics.Here are two examples.
Toucan Bills and Car Safety
Toucan usually has enormous bills.Scientists have found that the toucan’s beak is designed to be both strong and light.The surface is made of keratin,the same material in human fingernails and hair.But the inside of the bill has a foam-like structure and is made up of a network of light,thin pieces of bone.It contains a lot of air,and some areas are hollow,not solid.This design makes the bill hard but very light.
The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer.Studies show that the beak’s structure can absorb high energy impacts very well.Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.
Shark Scales and Swimsuits
Shark skin may look smooth,but it’s actually rough.Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth.Viewed up close,the scales actually look like tiny teeth.These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean.They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water.This movement reduces the waters drag on the shark and helps it to swim quickly.
Scientists discovered that the shortfin mako’s scales vary in size and flexibility over its body.For instance the scales on the sides of the body are tapered—wide at one end and narrow at the other.They can turn up or flatten to adjust to the flow of water around the shark and to reduce drag.
Scientists believe that shark scales can inspire designs for machines that experience drag,such as airplanes.Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了仿生学的概念以及两个用到了仿生学的例子。
21.Why do car body panels copy the design of toucan bills
　　　　　　　　
A.To better protect passers-by.
B.To reduce the injury to drivers.
C.To decrease the chances of crashes.
D.To make cars lighter and easier to control.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.(模仿巨嘴鸟喙的汽车车身面板可能会为驾驶者提供更好的撞车保护)”可知,汽车车身面板复制巨嘴鸟的设计是为了减少对驾驶者的伤害。
22.What product or technology is inspired by shark scales
A.Coating for ship bottoms to run faster.
B.Coating for airplanes to experience drag.
C.The panel that makes the plane safer.
D.Swimwear that is smooth to keep itself clean.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms.(设计师们还从鲨鱼鳞片中汲取灵感,设计泳装和船底涂层)”可知,可以使船跑得更快的船底涂层是受到了鲨鱼鳞片的启发。
23.What’s the purpose of the text

Gitanjali Rao,a Colorado teenager who invented a mobile device to test for lead(铅) in drinking water,was Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020.The magazine announced the award,citing Rao’s ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems—and her desire to motivate other kids to take up their own causes.
It’s just the latest recognition for Rao,15,who was named in 2019 to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.She won praise in 2017 after she responded to the Flint,Mich.,water crisis by creating a device named Tehys,using carbon nanotube(碳纳米管) sensors to detect lead in water.The Lone Tree,Colo.,native was named America’s Top Young Scientist when she was in the seventh grade.She went on to work with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.
More recently,Rao has developed a phone and web tool named Kindly,which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying(网络欺凌).“You type in a word or phrase,and it’s able to pick it up if it’s bullying,and it gives you the option to edit it or send it the way it is,” Rao tells Time.“The goal is not to punish.As a teenager,I know teenagers tend to lash out(殴打) sometimes.Instead,it gives you the chance to rethink what you’re saying so that you know what to do next time around.”
The debut Kid of the Year award comes from a partnership between Time and Nickelodeon.Rao was chosen in part because of the way she has followed up her technical work with efforts to get other young people to work on solving the problems they see.
“My goal has really shifted not only from creating my own devices to solve the world’s problems,but inspiring others to do the same as well.Because,from personal experience,it’s not easy when you don’t see anyone else like you.So I really want to put out that message:If I can do it,you can do it,and anyone can do it.”
【语篇解读】美国《时代》杂志评选出2020年度最佳儿童,一名来自美国科罗拉多州的女孩吉坦贾利·拉奥当选,并登上许多人梦寐以求的杂志封面。
24.Why did Gitanjali Rao go on to work with scientists
A.To find the cause of the lead.
B.To invent more similar devices.
C.To put her device on the market.
D.To extend technology to other fields.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“She went on to work with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.”可知,她和其他科学家合作是为了把这种装置推向市场。
25.What is the aim of Kindly
A.To stop oneself from being cyberbullied.
B.To discover the early signs of cyberbullying.
C.To punish those who behave badly online.
D.To show those who use mobile phones what to do.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying”可知,Kindly的目的是发现网络欺凌的早期迹象。
26.What do you think of Rao’s words in the last paragraph
A.Humorous. B.Interesting.
C.Disappointing. D.Inspiring.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据文章的最后一句“So I really want to put out that message:If I can do it,you can do it,and anyone can do it.”可知,她说的话是激励人心的,所以选D项。
27.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Time Names Its Kid of the Year
B.A Device Detecting Lead in Water
C.Kids Can Be Inventors
D.A 15-year-old Scientist
答案A
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,一名来自美国科罗拉多州的女孩吉坦贾利·拉奥当选《时代》杂志2020年年度最佳儿童,所以A项可作为文章的标题。

(2021·山东泰安高二期中)
Ecuador may have a new tourism jingle (广告歌).But they don’t want anyone to actually sing it.Indeed,the country’s latest national park is built on the belief that silence is golden.The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park” beside the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.
There are no transport routes here.Nor residential and commercial developments.You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.
Named as Wilderness Quiet Park,the land is owned by the Cofán people of Ecuador.But hopes are high that this unique space in a world increasingly affected by noise will kickstart (启动) tourism in the region—quiet tourism,that is.
These days,it’s almost impossible to escape the human noise.And it’s a serious effect on the health of animals,including humans.
“Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance,it causes health loss and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive.By recognizing the Zabalo River as the world’s first quiet park,we are paving the way for many more quiet parks around the globe,” says Gordon Hempton,an ecologist and co-founder of Quiet Parks International,an organization which aims at spreading quiet across the globe.
So,what’s it actually like when nature is the only soundtrack Here’s how Sam Goldman,a journalist,describes it:“The monkeys roar;insects buzz;and birdsong cackles...”
But the park not only gives nature a chance to find its voice.The people who own the land—the Cofán people—have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000.Quiet Parks International will help the Cofan Nation “defend their lands and preserve their culture”.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了厄瓜多尔这个国家最新的国家公园“宁静公园”,它建立在“沉默是金”的信念之上,在这里,宁静像一种自然资源一样受到保护。
28.What’s the purpose of this text

29.What do we know about Wilderness Quiet Park
A.It values natural quiet much.
B.It develops rapidly in business.
C.It can easily get rid of the human noise.
D.It provides tourists with various transport routes.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There are no transport routes here.Nor residential and commercial developments.You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.(这里没有交通路线,也没有住宅和商业发展。你甚至听不到电线的声音)”可知,“野外宁静公园”更崇尚自然的宁静。
30.According to Gordon Hempton,　　　.
A.wildlife in Ecuador is in danger of extinction
B.noise pollution has become a serious problem
C.the Zabalo River is the best quiet park in the world
D.there are already many quiet parks around the globe now
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance,it causes health loss and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive.(科学已经表明,噪声污染不仅令人烦恼,它还会损害健康,影响野生动物的生存能力)”可知,Gordon Hempton认为噪声污染已经成为一个严重的问题。
31.What can we infer about the Cofán people from the last paragraph
A.They care little about environmental protection.
B.They are in need of help to protect their safety.
C.Their numbers have decreased due to noise pollution.
D.They have long been protecting their living surroundings.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The people who own the land—the Cofán people—have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000.”可知,科凡人一直在保护他们的生活环境。

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones,according to a survey(调查).Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor(因素)—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要剖析了在几乎人人都有一部手机的澳大利亚,仍然有超过半数的家庭拥有座机背后的原因。
32.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
答案B
解析段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知,在澳大利亚很难找到一个15岁以上还没有手机的人,甚至一些年龄更小的孩子都有手机。这表明手机在澳大利亚受到广泛欢迎。故选B项。
33.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据上文得知,虽然在澳大利亚几乎人人都有手机,但是还有55%的家庭拥有座机。画线词是指1/3拥有座机的人承认座机没有什么必要。故选A项。
34.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”可知,这一家人或许50年都没有换过座机。故选C项。
35.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries ”可知,煤气路灯和清晨送奶工都已不存在,因此座机早晚也会过时。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Here are some tips for you to get along with your teachers.
Show respect.　36　 You may not always agree with them and you may not always feel like settling down and paying attention in class,but you do need to show that you can give a basic level of care and respect towards adults.
Learn to listen.Listening is a learnt skill and one that is very important during your high school years.　37　 Your eye contact will also help demonstrate your attention.You will also miss out on valuable information and instructions if you don’t listen.
　38　 You will not always understand everything that you see and hear in class.If you are unsure about something or a task that needs to be completed,speak to your teacher about it.Ask the questions.If the teacher is too busy,ask to arrange a suitable time that you can ask the questions you need for further clarification.
Never gossip(传播流言) about your teacher.Spreading gossip means talking about someone behind his or her back.　39　 Live by the rule to never say anything about someone that you wouldn’t be comfortable saying to one’s face.If you hear a rumour about a teacher,do not pass it on!　40　
A.Seek further explanation.
B.Always do what the teachers tell you to do.
C.Show respect for your teachers at all times.
D.It’s really important that you don’t make it personal.
E.It’s all hurtful,no matter how serious you might think.
F.It is also a sign of respect for your teacher when you listen.
G.It would be better to speak to someone else in authority,such as your class teacher.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文就学生如何和老师相处提供了几条建议,如尊重老师、学活倾听、寻求进一步的解释等。
36.C　本部分的小标题是“尊重老师”,C项“时刻尊重你的老师”与标题一致,而且能引出下文。
37.F　根据上文提到的“听力是一门习得的技能,在高中阶段是非常重要的”可知,F项“当你听老师讲课时,这也是尊敬老师的一个标志”与上文构成并列关系。
38.A　根据下文的“如果你对某件事或某项任务不确定,就去跟你的老师谈谈”可知,A项“寻求进一步的解释”可作为本段的小标题。
39.E　本段的小标题是“不要传播与老师有关的流言”,紧接着是对传播流言的解释,E项是传播流言的危害。
40.G　根据上文的“如果你听到与老师有关的流言,不要传播”可知,所填的应该是具体的做法。G项“最好和有权威的人谈一下,比如你的班主任”符合语境。

55.A.super B.nonprofit

(2021·山东德州高二期末)
Two giant pandas,“Da Mao” and “Er Shun”,on Sunday arrived in Chengdu,capital of Sichuan Province,after finishing 56.　　　　　 (they) stay at a Canadian zoo earlier than planned.
57.　　　　　　　　　 (spend) five years at the Toronto Zoo,the two moved to the Calgary Zoo in March 2018 with twin cubs,“Jia Panpan” and “Jia Yueyue”,58.　　　　　 had traveled home to China in January.
59.　　　　　 average,each giant panda 60.

In May,the zoo made an 64.　　　　　 (announce) that it would have to do this so that the pandas could enjoy China’s abundant supply of fresh bamboo instead.The zoo 65.　　　　　　　　　　　 (permit) to get the beloved pandas home to China officially now.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。两只大熊猫“大毛”和“二顺” 提前结束了在加拿大一家动物园的逗留,于周日抵达成都。
56.their　考查代词。分析句子结构可知,该空修饰名词stay,所以用形容词性物主代词。
57.Having spent　考查非谓语动词。spend和the two有逻辑上的主谓关系,而且spend所表示的动作发生在谓语动词moved之前,所以用动词-ing形式的完成式。
58.which　考查定语从句。先行词是twin cubs,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以用which。
59.On　考查介词。句意:平均,每只大熊猫每天消耗约40公斤竹子。on average“平均”,首字母大写。
60.consumes　考查动词时态和主谓一致。描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时,主语是each giant panda,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
61.to meet　考查非谓语动词。struggle to do sth“挣扎着做某事”。
62.weekly　考查形容词。该空修饰名词短语shipments of fresh bamboo,用形容词作定语,故填weekly。
63.the　考查冠词。此处特指“合适的竹子”,故应用定冠词the。
64.announcement　考查名词。分析句子结构可知,该空作made的宾语,用名词,前面有不定冠词修饰,用名词单数。
65.is/has been permitted　考查动词时态和语态。这里表示主语现在的状态,可以用一般现在时,也可以用现在完成时表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果;“The zoo”和permit之间是被动关系,用被动语态,故填is/has been permitted。

Since we live in a global village,no country can develop on its own;nobody can achieve personal growth by himself or herself.Therefore,we should learn from each other.In addition,such a learning experience is not only a great chance for me to improve myself,but also a precious opportunity to spread Chinese culture to my British friends.

(2021·山东德高二期末)
We were three thousand miles away from home on a Random Acts of Kindness and Volunteerism Road Trip.Our funds were running low,so we had two goals today.Firstly,try out our new “Smile!” signs and see how much kindness and joy we could spread.Secondly,raise a pitiful $20 a piece by doing street performances.Singing,drawing cartoons,storytelling...as long as it is enough for the trip to Portland.
We weren’t sure how people would react to our signs.I nervously raised one up and shouted “Hi there!” to a young couple.They looked over,momently confused,then read my sign and broke into smiles.It worked.
Before long,our signs were popular.Strangers stopped to ask us about them.The signs are more than an invitation to “Smile!”.They’re an excuse to connect with strangers and to remember this world is full of good people.We got so wrapped up in our “Smile!” project that we forgot our other goal.Before we knew it,the sun was setting,and we had no money for our trip to Portland.
Then we noticed that a blind musician was playing guitar when suddenly a passing crowd kicked over his change jar.Change and cash scattered everywhere.Before we could run over,another man rushed to collect all the money for him.And we met the do-gooder,Jared.“We want to praise you on your good deed,” I said.Jared looked at my signs curiously.We told him about our road trip,which reminded him of something similar he did when he was young.He seemed moved.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Then he said,“Look!I’d like to donate.”





We were astonished.

Then he said,“Look!I’d like to donate.” We told him,“No,thanks!We are fine.We’ve collected plenty of money.” We lied.“Please let me donate.It will make me feel like I’m a part of this adventure,” he insisted.And then Jared opened his wallet and pulled out four $20 bills.The money was exactly what we had intended to raise that day.
We were astonished.It seemed as if he had known something somehow.Seeing our expression,he smiled,“I once did something similar when I was young.I know random acts of kindness mean a lot sometimes.I just hope what I have done can do you a favor.I just hope that you can spread smiles to more people.” Hearing what he said,we were all moved.Indeed,smiles are an excuse to connect with strangers and to remember this world is full of good people.With the bills in hand,we said goodbye to Jared and continued our way to Portland,smiling.第四单元测评

Now let me tell you about my experience of skydance.At the beginning we watched a short video that explains all the safety rules and walks you through what will happen on the plane.While we waited for our turn to ride,there was an open grass area with benches where we watched others landing.On the way up,my sister and I were excited whole time,laughing and screaming before we even got to a quarter of the elevation.Everyone always tells you that you are going to be frightened when that door flies open,but I’ve never been so excited in my life.As soon as it opened,I immediately gave a look at my sister and we both just had this look in our face of excitement.Thirty seconds later I watched her fall out of the plane,then flew out myself.My grandpa came falling out right after me.After I went through a minute of free fall,I pulled the shoot and landed to the ground.When I landed I was filled with excitement,but my sister caught my attention and made me turn around so I could see my grandpa landing—then she took a picture as soon as he did.I couldn’t ask for a better experience!

For most of us,the world’s southern-most point seems like a pretty place,but for the four women,Hannah,Hannalore,Sophie and Julia,it’s home.Each year they spend five months living and working in Port Lockroy welcoming visiting ships and,best of all,watching over the native colony of penguins(企鹅).
They live on a tiny island the size of a football pitch,but share it with about 2,000 gentoo penguins and their chicks,as well as other birds.Life here is different every day and depends on weather and ice conditions,as well as the visiting ships’ schedules.Port Lockroy is one of the most visited places in Antarctica,with one to three ships visiting a day.Between ship visits they have other duties to attend to.These include maintenance jobs,sending postcards from the post office,checking conditions on the historical items in the museum and monitoring the penguin colonies and other wildlife.
Hannah spends much time stamping people’s postcard,which makes her happy to think of the joy over 70,000 people per year get when they receive a postcard from Antarctica,and the most southerly post office in the world!For Sophie,the most amazing thing about her job is being able to live and work with her feathery friends,the penguins.Sophie says they have to make sure the penguins are not disturbed when they are resting or waddling their way back to their nests.They mark specific routes for visitors to walk on so that they don’t use the penguins’ highways.Part of their job is also to count the penguin colony when they’ve laid their eggs,then again when the chicks are born and when the chicks are old enough to venture beyond the nest.The information collected will help scientists know if the breeding season has been a successful one or not.

Liu Jichen,24,a student from Tsinghua University,has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate”.After a meal,users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates.Once the image is recognized by the AI (Artificial Intelligence),students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals for children in poor rural areas.
Liu and his team,together with other organizations,launched the “Clear Your Plate” campaign in November,2020 for the third year.It has swept over 1,017 universities across the country.The one-month campaign attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions (碳排放) by 3,337 tons.
“Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste,” Liu thought.He organized a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017.To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates,the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants.In 2018,the mini-program was officially put into operation on Oct 16,World Food Day.They then launched a campaign later that year.
“There were so many unknowns in research and development.For our team members,the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said.They not only achieved their goal,but now,the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users,according to Liu.“We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation by encouraging them to cherish (珍惜) their food and develop the habit of thrift(节约),” Liu added.

(2021·山东菏泽高二期末)
Education has always been a hot topic among parents as it is directly related to the future of their children.　36　 Many of them try to offer their children the best environment.
Competition between parents over children’s education may start from the kind of animated series children watch.For some parents,watching foreign animated shows is better than watching domestic ones.　37　 However,this does not mean those watching foreign shows are superior to those watching domestic ones.
Domestic shows have their own advantages.They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.　38　 This show was based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.By watching this show,children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China.Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world.So children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.
　39　 For example,children should be encouraged to read both folk tales from China and foreign countries.However,once parents hold views of superiority,the views can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent children,influenced by their parents,slowly hold the views hat watching foreign shows is superior to watching domestic shows.　40　 Once it is formed in children’s minds,parents’ education can’t be regarded as successful.
A.Take Journey to the West for example.
B.This can also be applied to other things.
C.A case in point can help understand this.
D.It’s by no means an easy task to form a sense of superiority.
E.Such a sense of superiority may make them look down upon others.
F.By watching the former,children can learn English at the same time.
G.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述父母对孩子的教育,尤其是在教育孩子对待中外事物的时候,应平等对待,并且无论是中国的还是外国的,都应鼓励孩子们去接受有益的事物,而不应该一味地认为外国的就比中国的好,给孩子造成不良的影响。
36.G　上文提到教育一直是家长们的热门话题,因为它直接关系到孩子的未来。由此可知下文应该讲如何教育孩子。G项“How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents.”符合语境。
37.F　根据上文“For some parents,watching foreign animated shows is better than watching domestic ones.”可知,F项“By watching the former,children can learn English at the same time.”可承接上文,其中的“the former”指代的是上文的国外动画节目。
38.A　根据下文“This show was based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.”可知,A项中的Journey to the West(《西游记》)就是四大名著之一,符合语境。
39.B　下文“For example,children should be encouraged to read both folk tales from China and foreign countries.”是一个例子,B项“This can also be applied to other things.”中的this指代的是上文说的只要内容有益,中外节目都要鼓励孩子们去看,这也适合其他事情,下文举例说明,中外故事也都要阅读。
40.E　根据上文句意“然而,一旦父母拥有优越感,这种观点或多或少会对他们的孩子产生影响。天真的孩子在父母的影响下,慢慢地就会有看国外节目优于看国内节目的观点”可知,下文应该讲这种优越感对孩子不好的影响。E项符合语境。

The thought of cooking in a large three-legged pot in that high heat was sufficient to 　45　me.I did not manage to 　46　 my feelings from my mother,and after the service,she called me to the balcony(阳台),where she 　47　 sat to attend to her sewing.

If I had 　53　 the group of people a meal,it may have happened that,in my 　54　 some time in the future,I found myself at the mercy of those very individuals.　55　 that was not enough to shame me,Mom continued,“A person is a person because of another person.”

I was packed and ready to go skiing for the first time.It felt like I was about to take an adventure with the world at my feet.Feeling empowered,I knew something brilliant was going to come out of the trip.I was more than excited at the thought of spending an entire week with my best friend,Lindsay,hanging out and enjoying winter.
Early Monday morning my youth group boarded our bus for the ski trip.Once at the destination,we saw the skiers floating so easily and gracefully down the slopes.By the time I got my skis and boots,I was confident that I’d be a fantastic skier.During the lessons,I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes.After spending most of the time practicing again and again on the run for beginners,we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day.In the evening,we all felt extremely plaining about the pain our ski boots had caused,Lindsay and I decided we weren’t skiing the next day.Well,of course,our friends wouldn’t hear of that.
So,the next morning we found ourselves in line for the ski lift,which wound its way up the high mountain.Lindsay and I stared helplessly at each other,our eyes showing nothing but fear.After I got into the lift,I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely shut,not daring to look outside.The lift rose so fast that before I knew it,I had floated up the mountain.When I finally opened my eyes,I found myself at the top in one piece.Thank goodness I was still alive!
Standing at the top of the long slope,with the skis pointing downward,I realized I was shaking.I glanced at Lindsay and found that she was scared too,for her poles kept tapping rapidly against the sides of her boots.
Taking a deep breath and gathering all our courage,we gave each other an encouraging nod and both took off.At first I barely moved,but slowly I allowed myself to gain some speed.Soon I was shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly.

Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view.I knew I had to stop,but I was moving too fast to control myself.I tried everything,but in vain.There was only one final option—falling over.After rolling for what felt like forever,I lay still,head dizzy.Worse still,my joints were painful and every muscle hurt.I knew there was no way I could keep going.When I struggled to my feet and brushed the snow off,the terrible truth hit me:I still had half the mountain to go!
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder.It was Lindsay.“I have to quit,” I said hopelessly.Pointing to some skillful skiers,Lindsay said,“Look,they are skiing so easily.Come on,I believe we can make it,too.” Looking at her determined expression,I was instantly inspired and seconds later we were both skiing down the slope.Along the way there were a few more falls,but we were not defeated.At the bottom,I glanced up the mountain and felt a wave of gratitude and pride.Thanks to Lindsay’s encouragement,I had overcome my fears and learned to face challenges bravely.Section C　Extended reading,Project,Assessment & Further study

(2021·山东泰安高二期末)
Imagine you made plans with a new friend to talk on the phone.You called but there was no answer—and you didn’t get a call back.What happened Perhaps they got held up by a work obligation.Perhaps they didn’t want to meet but didn’t bother to cancel.Or perhaps they had a busy week and simply forgot to write down your appointment time.
In social situations like this,our minds can produce various explanations,ranging from ones that are more understanding to ones that put blame to the other party.Psychologists refer to this as our attributional style.Past research has found that individuals with a “hostile” attributional style tend to be less satisfied with their relationships.
According to a new study,they’re also less happy overall.The researchers can’t say for sure whether seeing people as hostile directly lowers our happiness,or whether unhappy people are just more likely to make hostile attribution in the first place.However,this study does suggest the possibility that giving people the benefit of the doubt is a practice to improve our relationships and well-being.
Dorota Jasielska,lead researcher of the study,suggests that we start by developing positive and trusting social relationships.When we find ourselves surrounded by warmth and support,it can help us see the social world in a kinder light.Another important strategy is to have open and direct communication.Instead of letting your anxieties get worse,it may be better to simply talk to people about their confusing behavior.
So the next time a friend cancels plans or forgets to text back,consider giving him the benefit of the doubt and waiting to hear his side of things before jumping to conclusions.Assuming others have good intentions will make the world seem like a friendlier place.

(2021·江苏宿迁高二期中)
It was my first university day of new term,which I had been looking forward to in the summer vacation.Mother decided Dad should accompany me though I thought I could manage it myself.Everything here appeared a little fresh to me;yet I still had a butterfly in my stomach.The letter of admission said my dormitory was Room 512 on the fifth floor.
I climbed the stairs slowly,carrying a big suitcase,my father following with two bigger more.By the time I set foot onto the fifth floor,I got entirely burnt out and at the same time had a feeling of loneliness.Worse still,Dad missed a step and fell on his back,sending my new suitcases rolling down the stairs.“Damn it!(见鬼!)” he screamed,his face turning red.I knew storm was on the way.Whenever Dad’s face turns red,look out.
How could I ever get him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls,whom I would have to spend the rest of the year with At that point,doors along the narrow passage were opening and strange faces peering out (探出) with curiosity,as Dad walked with difficulty close behind.I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a bad start.
“Wish to find the room quickly!” I prayed as I walked with my head bent.“Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But then again,would there be a chair in my dormitory Or would it be a purely empty room I didn’t know what was in store for me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Finally I arrived at Room 512.




And there on a well-made bed sat a girl,my new roommate.





参考范文
Finally I arrived at Room 512.I turned the key into the lock and pushed the door a little open,with Dad still complaining about a hurting knee or something.I put my head in,expecting the worst.But much to my surprise,the room wasn’t empty at all!It was furnished with two sets of desks and chairs,bookshelves,curtains,a TV,and several pleasant paintings on the walls.
And there on a well-made bed sat a girl,my new roommate.She was dressed simply but neatly.Greeting me with a nod,she said in a soft voice,“Hi,I’m Amy,you must be Cori.” Then,she turned down the music and looked over at Dad.“And of course,you’re Mr Faber,” she said smiling.“Would you like a glass of iced tea ” Dad’s face turned decidedly less red before he could bring out a “yes”.I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.第一单元测评

Last week,my sister and I were talking about how many of our friends had phones.My sister said she thought it was dumb that kids in high school had them,especially taking the phones to school,since most of your friends were at school anyway.As she said,“Why would they call you when they could see you in class ” I agreed with her.I mean,it’s not likely that your friends are going to call you when you’re in class!
But the next day after school,when two of her friends came over to our house,my sister told her friends she thought taking a phone to school was totally cool and she couldn’t wait to get one.When I reminded her that just the evening before she thought taking a phone to school was a dumb idea,she stared at me and if looks could kill,I’d be even dead!
When her friends left,I asked her if she really had changed her mind about wanting a phone to take to school.“No,”she said.“But both of my friends have phones and take them to school,so I didn’t want to tell them that I thought it was a dumb idea.”
You see,my sister just told her friends what she thought they wanted to hear.I think my sister works way too hard to fit in with her friends.Personally,I don’t want to work that hard to have friends.I mean,what would be so terrible about my sister believing one thing about kids having phones and her friends believing something different Besides when your friends know where you stand in terms of how you feel or what you think is cool or uncool,they respect you.At least show respect for yourself by sticking up for what you believe in.And even if they don’t agree with you good friends will think you’re cool for being true to yourself.

In April 2015,UK journalist Rebecca Atkinson,along with other parents of children with disabilities started the campaign ToyLikeMe to solve the lack of various toys for children with disabilities.They created a Facebook page where everyone was able to post ideas and pictures about what toys for children with disabilities should look like.
Even though the campaign attracted a lot of attention,these parents couldn’t rest until their ideas actually became real.Luckily,only 2 weeks after the campaign started,the people who started the campaign got in touch with a company in the UK that designs toys through 3D printing,and the company agreed to create new series of dolls.That’s when the first toys for disabled children were produced.
There are around 150 million children with disabilities,and even though the toy industry is worth over $2.9 billion,it has completely failed to create toys that are fitter for them.Until recently,that is.Thanks to this campaign that has taken the Internet by storm,many toy companies have answered this calling and have made toys specifically for children with disabilities.
Soon enough,the ToyLikeMe campaign on Facebook and Twitter finally reached the big companies like Lego,and now there is an entire series of toys for disabled children that have been sold worldwide.
Even after all the success this campaign has had,ToyLikeMe gets on with its task.The organization has followers in over 45 countries and has received donations from over 700 people.The mission of ToyLikeMe is to continuously influence the worldwide toy industry and hopefully make kids with disabilities all around the world feel accepted and appreciated.

We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.
Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.“Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference,but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up,” she tells HuffPost UK.“We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them,” she says.“Fish can eat the plastic and they can die,or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”
Mr Timms,Isobel’s teacher,has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise the awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.The entire Hummingbirds class,which is made up of nine-year-old and ten-year-old pupils,has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.
Mr Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us.“We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children,” he says.“It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic,and to recycle more,and even stopping them using plastic straws.”
Mr Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class.“The message that they would like to send to world is simple:stopping this isn’t someone else’s job,and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“蜂鸟班”积极响应一个环保教育项目。该班由九岁和十岁的学生组成,他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告来提醒成年人注意环保问题。
32.What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher
A.They just pretend to be busy.
B.They haven’t done their part well.
C.They can do nothing to stop pollution.
D.They have started to care about the ocean.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段的内容,尤其是第一句可知,学校“蜂鸟班”里九岁的伊泽贝尔认为成年人需要注意环保问题,由此可推知,成年人在环保问题上做得不够好,故B项正确。
33.What is the purpose of the school project
A.To help adults to learn more about their kids.
B.To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.
C.To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.
D.To teach students how to write poems creatively.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段首句可知,学校发起新项目,学生参与写诗和制作在线视频广告,该项目旨在提醒成年人要注意环保问题,故B项正确。
34.Why does Mr Timms mention parents in Paragraph 4
A.To prove kids are creative in teaching.
B.To attract people to support his work.
C.To have adults care about education.
D.To show the effects of the project.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第四段尾句可知,真的很难相信有父母说孩子们要求他们停止使用塑料,循环利用,甚至要求他们停止使用塑料吸管。据此可推知,该段提及父母旨在说明该项目对成年人的影响,故D项正确。
35.What is the text mainly about
A.An inspiring school project.
B.An appeal to stop using plastic bags.
C.Serious situations of our planet.
D.Adults’ ignorance of the environment.
答案A

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冬至。
56.itself　考查代词。分析可知,此处所填的词作“the winter solstice”的同位语,所以要用反身代词itself。
57.which　考查定语从句。先行词为“the day”,关系词作介词“on”的宾语,要用which。
58.varies　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处描述事实,所以时态是一般现在时,主语“The date”是第三人称单数,所以填varies。
59.between　考查介词。between...and...“在……之间”。
60.farthest　考查比较等级。根据“southward point”和常识可知,此处要用形容词的最高级作定语,故填farthest。
61.Traditionally　考查副词。所填的词修饰后面整个句子,所以用副词形式。
62.is seen　考查动词的时态和语态。此处描述的是事实,所以时态是一般现在时,主语“the winter solstice”与see之间是动宾关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。
63.beginning　考查名词。根据冠词“the”和介词“of”可知,此处要用名词,the beginning of“……的开始”。
64.lengthen　考查动词。begin to do sth意为“开始做某事”,所以用动词原形,故填lengthen。
65.making　考查非谓语动词。所填的词作结果状语,表自然而然的结果,所以用动词-ing形式。

All I wanted was to sit with them at “the popular table”.Jill had the best clothes.She looked like she walked straight out of a store window.Brett had the coolest haircut,plus she was already on the field hockey team and we were only in the sixth grade!Aimee was a cheerleader and Shannon could boss people around and they’d do whatever she said.I sure didn’t have that kind of power,but then again,I wasn’t popular.
Everyone else called them the “popular girls” and at lunch I’d watch them from across the middle school cafeteria and wonder how on earth I could get a seat at their table.I imagined how much fun they had sitting there,the envy of the lunchroom,while I ate sandwiches at the table near the dustbins.This wasn’t how I thought middle school was going to be at all.
One day,I had the nerve to walk past their table and Shannon and Jill started making fun of me,saying I smelled.
“I hate them,” I sighed,sitting down beside my three friends and opening my lunch bag.“The popular girls are so mean.”
“Well,we aren’t mean!” said one friend,and she was right.
I looked towards the popular table.Aimee appeared to be in a fight with Jill,while the others were laughing at a red-headed boy,who was the smartest kid in our grade and maybe even our whole school.He was in tears when they got done with him.He took his tray to an empty table in the far corner of the room to eat alone.
That was when it hit me.Why would I even want to be friends with people who were so mean My friends were far nicer and from the looks of it,we had a lot more fun.None of us fought or made fun of people.We laughed,sang,and joked to entertain one another.
“Maybe I should ask him to come eat with us,” I said,gesturing towards the lonely,red-haired boy.
“Sure,” said my friends.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
From then on,we invited everyone the popular girls made fun of to eat at our lunch table.






Later,I looked up the word “popular” in the dictionary.






参考范文
From then on,we invited everyone the popular girls made fun of to eat at our lunch table.Soon our table was full and we had to add more chairs.All of us were willing to sit a little closer to make room for someone else.It may have been a little crowded,but at our table,everyone fit regardless of whether they were fat,dressed funny,came from a poor family,or were funny looking.I started to look forward to lunchtime.Middle school was turning out to be a lot of fun.
Later,I looked up the word “popular” in the dictionary.It meant to be liked by a lot of people.Hardly did anyone like the “popular” girls at our school.They didn’t even seem to like each other or themselves very much.When I looked at my group of friends that seemed to be growing every day,I understood where the true “popular table” was in our middle school cafeteria and knew that I had gotten my wish after all.Section B　Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

(2021·山东青岛高二期末)
If your family or group of friends love to bike,then a bike trip makes a perfect vacation.　1　 Because you move more slowly on a bike,you have a chance to really sink into your environment,observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise.
　2　 If you have unskilled bikers or kids in your group,you’ll probably all be happiest if you keep your mile goals fairly modest.But a group of more experienced bikers can make more serious mile goals.
An easy way to travel is to camp along the way.You can book campsites ahead of time at campgrounds along the way,and ride into camp as late as you like.　3　 Invest in a light-weight tent,and light-weight inflatable pads (充气垫) under your sleeping bag.
If you’re going to be traveling on trails (小径),you’ll want to ride a mountain bike during your trip.On the other hand,if your route is wholly along roads,you can ride a lighter-weight street bike.Or,you can put heavier-weight tires on a street bike.　4　
If you have a lot of time,you can cover quite a bit of distance.Over the course of a long trip,you’ll get stronger and you’ll be able to go further in one day.　5　 You might want to rest a day or two early in your travels to give your body some rest.
A.Biking is becoming more and more popular.
B.Avoiding hurt is another thing you should concern.
C.Keep in mind that some camping equipment is heavy.
D.Check in with your local bike shop for suggestions on tire weight.
E.However,remember that early in the trip you’ll start every day feeling tired.
F.Seeing the world from the seat of a bike is a wonderful way to experience new places.
G.As you plan your trip,the biggest decision to make is how far you’d like to travel each day.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自行车旅行这种旅行方式,并就如何计划自行车旅行、自行车的选择等问题提出了一些建议。
1.F　根据下文“Because you move more slowly on a bike,you have a chance to really sink into your environment,observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise.”可知,该句是对上文的说明,F项“坐在自行车上看世界也是一种体验新地方的奇妙的方式”符合语境。
2.G　下文提到“如果你的团队里有不熟练的自行车手或孩子,那么骑行里程的目标定的很低,你可能会感到快乐,但是一群更有经验的自行车骑手可以制定更严谨的旅程目标。”由此可知,该段是在讲关于骑行的目标制定的问题。G项“当你计划你的旅行时,你要做的最大的决定是你每天想要骑行多远”符合语境。
3.C　根据上文“An easy way to travel is to camp along the way.”以及下文“Invest in a light-weight tent,and light-weight inflatable pads under your sleeping bag.”可知,本段在讲露营设备的问题。C项“请记住,某些露营设备很重”可承接上下文。
4.D　上文提到选择更重的轮胎,那么本句承接上文说明可以向自行车商店查询轮胎重量的建议。故D项“向你当地的自行车商店查询轮胎重量”的建议符合语境。
5.E　上文提到“如果你有足够的时间,你可以骑行很远的距离。在数周的旅行过程当中,你会变得更强壮,一天之内也能够骑行得更远。”下文提到“你可能想要在旅途中早休息一两天,让你的身体得到一些休息。”由此可知,上下文含有转折关系,E项符合语境。

Facebook has developed a kind of AI (人工智能),translating between any pair of 100 languages without depending on first translating to English.
Facebook’s system was trained on a data set of 7.5 billion sentence pairs collected from the web across 100 languages,though not all the languages had an equal number of sentence pairs.“What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man.Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,” says Angela Fan of Facebook AI,who led the work.
For some language pairs,the new system shows prominent improvements in translation quality.For example,translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide,meaning the researchers can get a lot of data.Translation between English and Belarusian (白俄罗斯语) also is improved because the AI can translate Russian into English,which shares similarities with Belarusian.
While the system isn’t in use on the social network site,Facebook plans to put it to work soon to manage the 20 billion translations made every day when people click “Translate” on posts (帖子) written in more than 160 languages.“Future work will be done on other languages,” says Fan,“especially for languages where we don’t have a lot of data,like South-East Asian and African languages.”
“The work breaks away from the English-centric models and tries to build more different models,” says Shelia Castilho of the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University,Ireland.“That’s pretty new and different.But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work.The users may not know the other language,so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。脸书开发了首个机器学习模型,它可以在100种语言中的任意两种语言之间进行翻译,而不需要先转换成英语。
1.What’s Angela Fan’s purpose of doing the research
A.To collect data of all kinds of people.
B.To make learning different languages easier.
C.To achieve her dream of becoming a translator.
D.To avoid using English as a middle man in translation.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man.Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English”可知,Angela Fan的研究目的是避免在翻译中使用英语作为“中间载体”。
2.Why is it easy to translate from Spanish to Portuguese by AI
A.There is much data on Spanish.
B.Portuguese is similar to Spanish.
C.Researchers have a good knowledge of the two languages.
D.Spanish is spoken by the largest number of people.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“For example,translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide,meaning the researchers can get a lot of data.”可知,人工智能很容易将西班牙语翻译成葡萄牙语是因为西班牙语的资料数据很多。
3.What is Castilho worried about
A.The safety of AI translation.
B.The correctness of AI translation.
C.The way of using Facebook.
D.The number of posts on the website.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“The users may not know the other language,so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.”可知,Castilho担心的是人工智能翻译的正确性。
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Facebook AI Can Talk with the Users
B.Facebook Wants to Buy a New System
C.Facebook AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages
D.Facebook Has Lost Many Users
答案C
解析主旨大意题。通过全文可知,文章主要是围绕Facebook开发的一种能翻译100种语言的人工智能而讲述的。C项“Facebook AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages”贴合文章主旨。

Be smart online learners
As we all know,time is rather limited in today’s society and the online courses break the limitation of time and space,providing us with great convenience to study.Thus,its popularity is easy to foresee and understand.
However,there also exist some disadvantages.Online learning does harm to our eyesight.Apart from that,the outcome of study can’t be guaranteed,especially for those who lack self-control.Moreover,the atmosphere of the class is not warm enough,which leads to a lack of communication between teachers and students.
In my opinion,if you can take full advantage of every possible means appropriately to study with self-discipline,it won’t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.I do hope all of us can be smart online learners.
Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2021·山东淄博高二期末)
As we get older there are certain gifts standing out in our memories for a variety of reasons.
One gift I was given and treasured most was a doll named Patsy.She wasn’t originally mine but was my younger sister’s Christmas gift,but on holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t bear to part with her.Luckily,my sister was quite happy to exchange dolls.From then on Patsy was my baby and I continued to love her dearly and would have died for her.
Another gift I offered my mom has been shining in my mind.On a Saturday,I was on my way to the local cinema when I happened to glimpse(一瞥) at the window of the gift shop at the corner of our street.There were lovely gloves,pretty flowered handkerchiefs,and rose patterned teacups and saucers,all in pretty boxes.Seeing all these lovely gifts reminded me that it would soon be Mother’s Day and my mother’s birthday.Wouldn’t it be nice,I thought,if I could give my mother something really special,something I’d bought myself So I stepped inside the shop and admired a dressing table set,which was a green cut glass with ornamental tray(装饰托盘) and several matching pieces.I was sure my mother would love it.
The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me the price.But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits.She pulled out a large notebook and wrote my name in it and the gift I wanted to buy,and in return I paid her a penny from my pocket money.It meant no sweets that day but I didn’t care.At the age of nine,I’d made my very first lay-by(分期付款)...and felt like a grown-up.From then on,every Saturday I dropped in at the shop on schedule and paid a penny,which the lady dutifully recorded in her notebook.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The day before Mother’s Day I paid the last two pence.




Too excited to wait till Sunday,I excitedly presented the gift to my mother.





参考范文
The day before Mother’s Day I paid the last two pence.As the lady wrapped the gift in brown paper and tied it with string,I attentively signed the notebook to say I had completed my lay-by.I thanked her and excitedly left the shop.“Be careful not to drop it,” she called after me.Securely,the gift tucked under my arm,I skipped the short distance home.
Too excited to wait till Sunday,I excitedly presented the gift to my mother.I placed the parcel on my mother’s lap and I stood by her side,hopping from one foot to the other,as she painstakingly untied every single knot in the string and slowly peeled away the brown paper as if she were unfolding butterfly wings,to reveal the box.My heart was racing.Then,as I bit into my bottom lip,she carefully began to lift the lid.“Do you like it,do you like it ” I asked excitedly,“Yes,I love it so much and I’ll keep it with me,” said my mother.She was delighted,smiling sweetly.The special gift survived many house moves,and it was still sitting on my mother’s dressing table.Unit 3Careers and skills

主题语境:人与自我　语篇类型:议论文
Workers are returning to their careers,or starting new ones,after age 65.
More than ever,work is where many of us derive our sense of purpose.That doesn’t end at age 65.After being retired for only three months,Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville,Florida,where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years.She is now working part-time in a position created just for her.“It’s perfect,” she told The New York Times.“I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average life span for those who reach age 64 now stretching all the way to 84 years old,those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.
Job sites connected toward part-timers,temporary positions,and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work.Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a risk analyst for large banks at age 63.He’d thought about retiring then.“But part of me just wanted to keep working—partly for the money,but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career,” he said.
The unretired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on,so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work.And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use,they may well have more flexibility than their mid-career colleagues.Two-thirds of retirees who’d come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed.Legal work and community service were popular choices,as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.
Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea,but it can cause issues for retirees,including effects when they claim Social Security(申请社会保障) benefits early.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先讲述了许多退休者喜欢重新走向工作岗位的现象,然后分析论述了其中的原因。
1.How does Sue Ellen King like her work
　　　　　　　　
A.Interesting. B.Satisfying.
C.Boring. D.Encouraging.
答案B
解析细节理解题。文章第二段中的“It’s perfect”和“I get the satisfaction...”说明Sue Ellen King对自己的工作非常满意。
2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A.Why many retirees return to the work.
B.Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job.
C.What real purpose our work is.
D.What the average life span is.
答案A
解析段落大意题。第二段主要讲述为什么许多退休的人又重新找工作的原因,因此A项是最佳选项。
3.Why did Fred have another job
A.He was out of work.
B.Job sites helped him.
C.He has financial difficulty.
D.He likes continuing working.
答案D
解析细节理解题。文章第三段最后一句中的“but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career”说明喜欢在职业生涯中做更多的事情是Fred在自己63岁时重新找工作的原因。
4.Why do the unretired like meaningful jobs
A.These jobs have more flexibility.
B.These jobs have lots of potential.
C.The unretired don’t care much for salary.
D.The unretired can’t do very hard jobs.
答案C
解析细节理解题。文章第四段第一句中的“have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential”说明退休的人不太注重工作收入是他们喜欢做有意义工作的主要原因。

(2021·河南南阳高三模拟)
Last May I was hired by a large government agency.I had seven coworkers and a boss,Mrs King.Our job was to sort huge amounts of mail into four hundred slots(位置).We delivered the mail out of grocery carts we wheeled from office to office,picking up outgoing mail as we went along.Each mail delivery took an entire half-day to sort and deliver.
My troubles began almost as soon as I arrived.I was horrified to see that the slots were labeled not with people’s names but with their initials.Without thinking,I asked why this was a good idea,only to receive a sharp glance from Mrs King.So I repeated the question.This time Mrs King told me not to question what I didn’t understand.It was the first of many such exchanges,and I hadn’t been on the job a half-hour.The longer I worked at the job,the more I saw how inefficient all the procedures were,from delivery routes to times for coffee breaks.
When I asked Mrs King about the procedures,however,she always reacted the same way.I continued with it over the next seven weeks,but my efforts were fruitless,even counterproductive.
Two months later,I was fired.I objected,of course.The personnel manager asked me if I had ever heard of the barnyard pecking order:the top chicken pecks on the one below it,the second pecks on the third,and so on all the way down the line to the lowliest chicken,whose life is a constant misery.Mrs King,the manager,was that lowliest chicken at the bottom of the pecking order in the agency’s management.No one should doubt for a moment that she ruled her roosters.
I reflected upon my adventure in the agency.Eventually I saw how arrogant,and how unsympathetic,my behavior had been.In my next job,I’ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer,if I do.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过这篇文章讲述了自己因在工作中多次质疑工作流程低效而被解雇,后来作者反思自己在工作中的傲慢,懂得了要学会尊重。

A.He had too many co-workers and a boss to work with.

A.He questioned his boss Mrs King endlessly.
B.He did not work according to work procedures.
C.He worked inefficiently.
D.He did not make his efforts to work.

7.What does the barnyard pecking order in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Work procedure. B.Job morality.
C.Production line. D.Ranking system.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“the top chicken pecks on the one below it,the second pecks on the third,and so on all the way down the line to the lowliest chicken”可知,the barnyard pecking order指的是等级制度,所以选D项。
8.What have the author learned from his job adventure
A.Honesty. B.Self-confidence.
C.Respect. D.Perseverance.
答案C
解析推断理解题。根据第五段中的“Eventually I saw how arrogant,and how unsympathetic,my behavior had been.In my next job,I’ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer,if I do.”可知,在自己的工作经历中,作者懂得了要学会尊重,所以选C项。Unit 1Honesty and responsibility

Emily Meyer was just 5 years old when she was admitted to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip,New York,on Christmas night.While she was recovering,someone from Child Life stopped by her room to give her a present.She and her mom protested—Emily had already received some,after all—but they insisted that every child would get a gift!
“The Child Life team explained that no child should be in the hospital during the holiday season,but if they are,they should feel the joy of the holidays while they are there,” Emily said.
That moment made a lasting impact on her.She decided she wanted to help the charity provide gifts to kids who are stuck in the hospital over the holidays,so she started her own toy drive in 2010.
Emily’s Awesome Toy Drive set out to collect new,unwrapped gifts that would be delivered to sick kids,and it’s still going today!“We collected about 20 or so toys the first year,” Emily said.“Every year from then on,it just grew and grew and grew and grew.It just became this whole big thing.”She is celebrating her 10th year of helping sick children by matching last year’s donations of $2,500,despite the challenges of isolation(隔离).
In order to hit that goal,she started collecting toys way back in the summer months and created an Amazon wish list to give people a contact-free delivery option.Even better,Emily’s Awesome Toy Drive is a family affair!Her parents help with the organization,wrapping,and delivery of the toys,and they love it just as much as Emily does.
“When kids are able to play and use toys to distract them,it makes a stay at the hospital so much easier,” her mom,Tara Decola,said.“It’s been amazing how it’s grown over the years and knowing that she is able to provide comfort and care to anyone ill just gives us a lot of joy as a family.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。圣诞节之夜,5岁的艾米丽因病住院。其间,一家慈善团体给她送来了慰问礼品,艾米丽深受感动。她康复后,为传递爱心,发起了一项为住院患儿募集玩具的活动。

2.What is Elily’s parents’ attitude towards her Awesome Toy Drive
　　　　　　　　
A.Supportive. B.Doubtful.

B.Collecting Toys for Kids

(2021·全国甲卷)
When I was 9,we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow,London on a gray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made a discovery.
Southbank,at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the center of British skateboarding,where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite:Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.It meant don’t worry about it.Once,when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆),I fell onto the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minutes later,when I landed the trick,my friends beat their boards loud,shouting:“Safe!Safe!Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.
When I was 15,my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there,but the locals were far less welcoming.Within a couple of years,I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004,I found myself wandering down to Southbank,spending hours there.I’ve traveled back several times since,most recently this past spring.The day was cold but clear:tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving(穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards,I found my way to the beam.Then a rail-thin teenager,in a baggy white T-shirt,skidded(滑) up to the beam.He sat next to me.He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.“Safe,man.Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said.“Safe.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很快适应了。之后作者一家搬去华盛顿,并放弃了滑板。作者重回伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
4.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A.He felt disappointed.
B.He gave up his hobby.
C.He liked the weather there.
D.He had disagreements with his family.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市,没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天,我感到迷茫和无措。)”可知,作者刚到伦敦的时候并不能很好地融入新的城市,感到很沮丧。
5.What do the underlined words “Safe!Safe!Safe!” probably mean
A.Be careful! B.Well done!
C.No way! D.Don’t worry!
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.(那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家。)”可知,作者掌握了滑板落地技巧,因此他的朋友大声欢呼。由此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义,故选B项。
6.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A.To join the skateboarding.
B.To make new friends.
C.To learn more tricks.
D.To relive his childhood days.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘I was a local here 20 years ago,’I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.‘Safe,man.Safe.’”可推知,作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。
7.What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A.Children should learn a second language.
B.Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C.Children need a sense of belonging.
D.Seeing the world is a must for children.
答案C
解析推理判断题。作者刚搬到伦敦时很失落,但是有了一群志同道合的小伙伴后,很快就融入了当地的生活。后来搬家到华盛顿,却找不到喜欢滑板的人,于是作者放弃了滑板。重返伦敦后,作者经常到小时候滑板的地方走走看看。显然,作者想要表达的是儿童需要归属感。Unit 2Understanding each other

Freshmen at Central Valley High in Ceres had a busy week of good deeds,tied to Pay It Forward Day,April 30,and an urge to show the world that teens can be awesome.
Kids in Success 101 spent first period making sandwiches for the homeless.The classes,taught by Natalie Rowell and Becky Lynch,got to hand 200 bagged sandwiches to the charity giving out the food.“They got to really see what an impact they had.It was inspiring and heartwarming,” Rowell said.Besides,students also made blankets to send to soldiers,and created 45 flower arrangements for senior people at the Hale Aloha Home in Ceres.“They were nervous going into it.But when they saw how happy the elderly were,the reality of what they did really surfaced,” Rowell said.
Rowell said she liked working with children to see how they learn.“It’s different from how we learn,but we’re kind of the same because they struggle in some of the subjects that we find hard as well.”
Success 101 was tailor-made for students with that kind of insight.The first-period class includes study help,speakers on teen subjects and an overall focus on looking past high school,figuring out the steps to create their future.“Some kids need that little push.In this class,that’s what we do,we give them that little push,” Lynch added.“Success would be beneficial for all ninth-grade students.Since the start of the year,I really see a change in them.”
Raquel Alfaro,a teen participant who worked with the younger kids,likes the Pay It Forward idea.“This helps us show adults,and also kids,that we’re doing something different and that we’re not as mean and selfish as they think we are,” Alfaro said.

Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session.　1　.Now we will explore some no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.
　2　.Perhaps they look at their phone or computer.They might even play a video game or watch television.But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studies.
A study published in the journal PLOS One examined how well older people who were in good health could remember certain words.In two different experiments,researchers found that older adults who rested for 10 minutes after learning new words had better memory of those words.“A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning increases free recall of verbal material,” the researchers wrote.　3　.
In addition to wakeful rest,sleep is also important for learning.A report on the website of Harvard Medical School explains that a person lacking sleep cannot focus attention and therefore cannot learn efficiently.　4　.That is essential for learning new information.
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School.“　5　,” he said.“When we first form memories,they’re in a very raw and fragile form.Sleep is important for forming memories.” Stickgold suggested that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day.Teenagers may need slightly more,and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
A.New memories can be hard to keep
B.The results were strong even after seven days
C.But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn
D.Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information
E.Many students often go straight to another activity after finishing study
F.By reducing your activity after study,your brain gets a chance to rest
G.It also says sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两种在学习之余巩固学习成果的方法:清醒的休息和睡眠。
1.C　根据上文“Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session.”和下文“Now we will explore some no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.”可知,设空处承上启下,提出了关于学生课后做什么能对学习产生积极影响的问题。C项“但是,学习后做什么会影响你的学习效果”符合文意,选项中的“after studying”对应上文的“after their study session”。
2.E　根据下文的“Perhaps they look at their phone or computer.They might even play a video game or watch television.”可知,设空处提到了大部分学生学习之后所做的事情。E项“许多学生学习之后经常直接去做另外的事情”符合文意,下文所提到的“look at their phone or computer”及“play a video game or watch television”是对该句“another activity”的具体说明。
3.B　该项设于段尾,与前文存在递进关系。根据上文“‘A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning increases free recall of verbal material,’the researchers wrote.”可知,设空处提到长时间坚持,效果越好。B项“效果甚至在七天后会更好”符合文意。
4.G　根据上文“A report on the website of Harvard Medical School explains that a person lacking sleep cannot focus attention and therefore cannot learn efficiently.”可推知,设空处陈述了该报道的其他发现。G项“它还指出,睡眠本身在加强记忆力方面有重要作用”符合文意,选项中的it指代上文中的“a report”。
5.A　根据下文“When we first form memories,they’re in a very raw and fragile form.”可知,设空处提到了新的记忆很难保持,而后文解释难以保持的原因。A项“新的记忆很难保持”符合文意,选项中的“new memories”对应下文的“first form memories”。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍博物馆的由来、经营与生存之道。
1.wealthy　考查形容词。此处使用形容词修饰后面的名词people,意为“家庭富裕的人们”。
2.or　考查连词。or表示选择。句意:收藏家等到家中藏品足够丰富或者他们死后,会将藏品捐赠给博物馆。
3.formed　考查动词时态。根据句法分析,The 80,000 objects为句子的主语,再根据后面的时间状语判断,应使用一般过去时态。句意:汉斯·斯隆爵士所收藏的8万件藏品组成了大英博物馆的核心馆藏。
4.which/that　考查定语从句。关系代词that或which指代前面的名词the British Museum,并在定语从句中作主语。
5.are called　考查动词的时态和语态。此处叙述一般事实,主语核心名词The parts与后面动词call之间构成被动关系,故用被动语态。
6.is　考查动词形式。根据后一句“Most of it is stored away or used for research.”可知,此处用be动词的第三人称单数形式is。
7.themselves　考查代词。句意:来访者可以同电脑模拟互动,并想象他们自己生活在历史的不同时期……由此判断使用反身代词。
8.walking　考查非谓语动词。由并列连词or判断,后面部分与living at a different time in history形式一致,故使用walking。
9.accuracy　考查名词。前面的Historical为形容词,后面应使用名词作主语。
10.for　考查介词。compete for...“为……而竞争”。句意:博物馆必须与其他娱乐方式为人们的业余时间和金钱而竞争。Unit 4Never too old to learn

Many graduation ceremonies look different.But for Melody,it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her—her grandmother,75-year-old Pat Ormond.They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class 42 years ago.After one semester,she dropped out to move to Chattanooga,where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family.While she did take an occasional class at UTC,she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree,especially after she retired.She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College.They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class.The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother,Pat Ormond,in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven,UTC Chancellor,“Together,they personify the determination,commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees.“Learning never stops,” Pat said.“That’s something that my father taught me when I was young.No matter what you do,learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon.She’s already working on another degree—a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile,her granddaughter,who is hunting jobs,is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer.But she says she’s in no rush.Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了田纳西大学毕业生Melody和自己75岁的祖母Pat Ormond一起从大学毕业,讲述了Pat的求学之路以及她对学习的看法——活到老学到老。

A.It looked different from others.
B.Her grandmother was 75 years old.
C.She celebrated it with all her classmates.
D.Her grandmother graduated alongside her.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But for Melody,it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her—her grandmother,75-year-old Pat Ormond.They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.”可知,Melody的毕业典礼的特别之处是她的祖母和她一起毕业。
2.What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Represent.
B.Follow.
C.Repeat.
D.Identify.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“the determination,commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate”可知,UTC负责人说Melody和祖母代表了决心、承诺和对终身学习的热爱,这是她们鼓励每一位毕业生所具有的品质,故画线词意思是“代表”,故选A项。
3.What can we know about Pat’s family
A.They are anxious to be celebrities.
B.They support and encourage each other.
C.They never stop creating opportunities.
D.They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.

A.Passion gives life power.
B.A good beginning is half done.
C.It’s never too late to learn.
D.Love can change everything.

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena,a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30-year-old social science teacher,who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute,an adult literacy centre,said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets—basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive(连贯性的) expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases,she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram,Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th,2020,where passers-by could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books,biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read,but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months,her effort became the talk of the town.
Now,generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state,including one in the capital,Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town,she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood,we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。一位名叫Meena 的女教师发现孩子们缺乏阅读后,决定开设一个路边的读书角,以激励他们多读书。

A.To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
B.To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C.To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D.To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero”和“she planned to do something to address the problem”可知,Meena要解决孩子们缺乏阅读的问题,因此她的读书计划就是为了关爱那些缺乏阅读的孩子们。
6.What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more
A.She provided them with transportation.
B.She offered some rewards to them.
C.She chose novels with beautiful covers.
D.She selected books covering every category.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read,but that is okay”可知,Meena奖励孩子们一些糖果,让他们坐下来阅读。
7.What does the underlined “this” in the last paragraph refer to
A.People’s generous contributions of books.
B.Her setting up the reading corner.
C.People’s request to set up libraries.
D.Young people’s passion for reading.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知,她设置阅读角的行为引起了公众的关注,大家开始捐赠书籍,甚至有人要求在其他地方建立这样的图书馆,所以Meena说她从未想过自己设置阅读角这件事会如此鼓舞人心。画线词意思指的是“她设置阅读角”这一行为。
8.What is the best title for the text
A.The Roadside Reading Corner
B.Books:Sources of Knowledge
C.The Library:a Paradise for the Young
D.New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
答案A

(2021·山东潍坊高二期末)
At present,the rapid development of our society is forcing people to rush.　1　 However,it’s better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done.
The main reason for not working in a hurry is that we may make mistakes.When people do their jobs or other things in a hurry,they can’t make a sound decision and probably have regrets later.As the saying goes,“Haste makes waste(欲速则不达).” 　2　 We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.
Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better.For example,taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane.However,taking a train gives people enough time to get to know a lot of new friends.Moreover,it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.　3　
Finally,a slower pace of life provides better health conditions for us.As is known to all,being in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress.　4　 According to some studies people who have a quicker pace suffer more diseases,and tend to live much shorter than those whose life is not tense.
　5　 Yet,too much stress can’t bring enjoyment,friends and good health to individuals.Therefore,it’s a good idea to take your time and live your life at a slower pace sometimes.
A.Should we work quickly
B.Rushing does no harm to us actually.
C.People have got used to being in a hurry.
D.Working quickly can bring more material benefits.
E.We should think carefully before making a decision.
F.Besides,rushing can be bad for one’s physical health.
G.However,rushing will make us lose chances to enjoy our lives.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章说明了快节奏生活的不利之处,提倡慢节奏的生活方式。
1.C　空前一句提到“At present,the rapid development of our society is forcing people to rush.(目前,我们社会的快速发展迫使人们匆匆忙忙。)”;C项 “People have got used to being in a hurry.(人们已经习惯了匆忙的生活。)”是顺承空前一句的话题。C项中的“being in a hurry”与空前一句中的“rush”语义相符。
2.E　空前一句提到“When people do their jobs or other things in a hurry,they can’t make a sound decision(当人们匆忙地工作或做其他事情时,他们不能做出一个明智的决定)”;E项 “We should think carefully before making a decision”与空前一句中的“they can’t make a sound decision”相对应,故选E项。
3.G　该段首句提到“Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better.”,G项“rushing will make us lose chances to enjoy our lives”的意思是匆忙会使我们失去享受生活的机会。首句中的“enjoy their life”和G项中的“enjoy our lives”是词汇复现。
4.F　根据空后的“...suffer more diseases,and tend to live much shorter...”可知,F项中的“be bad for one’s physical health”可与之相呼应。
5.D　根据空后的“Yet,too much stress can’t bring enjoyment,friends and good health to individuals.”可知,D项 “Working quickly can bring more material benefits.”与后文为转折关系,其中“can bring”与空后一句中的“can’t bring”构成并列句式。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。作者以第一人称描述了在西安古城墙参观游览的过程。
1.was built　考查动词的时态和语态。根据“originally”一词可知此处描述过去的事情;主语“It”和build之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
2.in　考查介词。表示“在某个朝代”用介词in。
3.to walk　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句首的it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。
4.spending　考查非谓语动词。前面的after是介词,介词后面用动词-ing形式作宾语。
5.better　考查形容词。根据后面的than可知,此处用形容词的比较级形式。
6.hired　考查动词时态。根据上下文内容可知,此处描述的是发生在过去的经历,所以用一般过去时。
7.but　考查连词。根据句意可知,作者租的自行车虽然破旧,但是仍然发挥作用。此处是转折关系。
8.the　考查冠词。根据句意可知,沿着西安古城墙走一圈花费了我们大约三个小时的时间。all the way是固定短语,意为“一路,自始至终”。
9.watchtowers　考查名词。根据前面的different gates可知,此处用名词的复数形式。
10.daily　考查形容词。修饰后面的routines应该用形容词形式。daily routines意为“日常生活”。
