答案与解析
本文为应用文。本文叙述了省政府及其合作伙伴提供了许多项目来帮助学生在暑期找到工作。
1．B　细节理解题。根据Summer Company部分中的“Summer Company provides students with...awards of up to $3，000 to start and run their own summer businesses” 可知“Summer Company为学生提供高达3 000美元的奖励，来开始和经营他们自己的暑期业务”。“start and run their own summer businesses”即“开办新的业务”，这对应B项中的“run new businesses”，二者是词义之间的转述关系。故选B。
2．D　细节理解题。根据Stewardship Youth Ranger Program部分中的第二段“Who is eligible: Students aged 16 or 17 at time of hire, but not turning 18 before December 31 this year.”可知“符合条件的学生：16岁或17岁的学生，但在今年12月31日之前未满18岁”。由此得出，这个项目要求年龄在16－17岁之间。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
3．D　细节理解题。根据Summer Employment Opportunities部分中的最后一段最后一句“Who is eligible: ...Some positions require students to be 15 to 24 or up to 29 for persons with a disability”，可知Summer Employment Opportunities有些职位是给残疾人的。分析选项可知，D项符合题意，故选D。
B
(2019年高考·课标全国卷Ⅰ)
For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N．Y.，today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous.“I'm here to tell you today why you should...should...”Chris trips on the“-ld，”a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.“...Vote for...me...”Except for some stumbles,_Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains，“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don't know，but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，” Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
4．What made Chris nervous?
A．Telling a story. B．Making a speech.
C．Taking a test. D．Answering a question.
5．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Improper pauses. B．Bad manners.
C．Spelling mistakes. D．Silly jokes.
6．We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to ________．
A．help students see their own strengths
B．assess students' public speaking skills
C．prepare students for their future jobs
D．inspire students' love for politics
7．Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A．Humorous. B．Ambitious.
C．Caring. D．Demanding.
答案与解析
本文属于记叙文，讲述Thomas Whaley为了帮助学生学英语以及树立信心专门开展了一个演讲课程。
4．B　细节理解题。根据第一段“today is speech day”和本段最后一句“with shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kids who would enjoy public speaking.”以及第二段第一句“But he's nervous.”可知，Chris眼睛黑亮，似乎是那种喜欢公共演讲的孩子，但是他却很紧张，故可知Chris是因为做演讲紧张，故选B。
5．A　词义猜测题。根据第二段 “‘I'm here to tell you today why you should...should...’ Chris trips on the ‘-ld’， a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.” 以及后文“except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well”可知， Chris 发ld比较困难，这对于英语不是母语的学习者来说都是一个困难，总体来说Chris做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，ld发音不准，因此有些结巴，停顿得不准，故选A。
6．A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.”以及最后一段 “boasting about yourself, and your best qualities，” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲，还要让孩子学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很困难，故可知，Whaley老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势增加信心，故选A。
7．C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.”和最后一段“He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves”可知，当他有一天问学生认为自己当不了总统请举手的时候，想到了一个想法，这个课程就是帮助学生树立自己的信心，故可以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。humorous“幽默的”， ambitious“有雄心壮志的”；caring“关心的”；demanding“要求高的”。故选C。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2019年高考·课标全国卷Ⅰ)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and some big land masses as far south as Newfoundland. While they are rare north of 88°， there is evidence __1__ they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada. It is difficult to figure out a global population of polar bears as much of the range has been __2__ (poor) studied; however, biologists calculate that there are about 20，000－25，000 polar bears worldwide.
Modem methods __3__ tracking polar bear populations have been employed only since the mid-1980s, and are expensive __4__ (perform) consistently over a large area. In recent years some Inuit people in Nunavut __5__ (report) increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a __6__ (believe) that populations are increasing. Scientists have responded by __7__ (note) that hungry bears may be congregating(聚集) around human settlements, leading to the illusion(错觉) that populations are __8__ (high) than they actually are. Of __9__ nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six __10__ (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.
答案与解析
本文为科普文类说明文，介绍了北极熊的生存现状。
1．that　考查同位语从句。根据句子结构分析可知，主句为there be句型，且结构完整，空格后为同位语从句，解释说明中心词evidence内容，故填that。
2．poorly　考查副词用法。根据句意和结构分析可知，此处用副词poorly修饰谓语动词has been studied，意为“研究很少”。故填poorly。
3．of/for　考查介词用法。此处tracking polar bear populations作Modern methods的定语，用of 连接，“methods of doing sth.”，意为“…的方法”，构成固定结构。或者意为“对于跟踪北极熊的方法”用for。故填of/for。
4．to perform　考查非谓语动词。主系表结构之后，常用不定式作原因或目的状语，句意：跟踪北极熊的现代方法只是在二十世纪八十年代以来开始采用，并且在如此大区域内持续采用是昂贵的，故此处用to perform。
5．have reported　考查时态。根据上下文语境，尤其是时间状语in recent years可知，主句用现在完成时态，故填have reported。
6．belief　考查名词。根据其前不定冠词和其后的同位语从句可知，空格处为名词形式，故填belief。
7．noting　考查非谓语动词。根据其前介词by可知，此处用动名词主动形式，故填noting。
8．higher　考查形容词比较级。根据其后than they actually are可知，此处为形容词的比较级，故填higher。
9．the　考查定冠词。此处为特指，意为“在已知的19个北极熊亚种群中”，故填the。
10．are　考查主谓一致。根据three are declining，此处数词six作主语，代指前文中的“polar bear subpopulations”，故用复数谓语，一般现在时，故填are。

答案与解析
这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是，有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过努力，帮助一只名叫Emma的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。
1．D　根据第一句“Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age”和最后一句提到的“...the species from going out of existence”可以推知，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝，即：“消失”。故D选项正确。
2．B　前文提到每天都有物种消失，那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种，使它们免于灭绝。故B选项正确。
3．A　从2004年，Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的“human caretaker”呼应。故选A。
4．C　根据空后的“human caretakers”可知，caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指：出生在一个国际鹤基地，Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。
5．B　根据空后的though(尽管)可知，though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到，她过得很开心。根据转折关系，那么前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。故B选项正确。
6．B　根据上文，Emma不把自己当作鹤，所以它“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。故B选项正确。
7．D　根据even(甚至)这个递进关系可知，Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起，而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。故D选项正确。
8．D　Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活，这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤，成为妈妈。故D选项正确。
9．C　上文提到Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活，使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知，上下文之间是转折关系。故C选项正确。
10．D　Chris和Tim成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起，这使得Emma诞育了五只幼鹤。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使……能够做某事”，故D选项正确。
11．C　根据后文“more efforts must be made”可以推知，尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲，但是他们还需要付出更多努力，因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C。assured意为“确定的，有把握的，自信的”。故C选项正确。
12．B　前文提到：野生白鹤数量正在减少，很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到，并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想，感情，以及平等生存的权利。很明显，该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。after all：毕竟(用于解释和说明理由)。故B选项正确。
13．B　针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象，作者提出一个问题：我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？故B选项正确。
14．A　根据下文中的“hold all the solutions”可以推断出，人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。即：人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。故A选项正确。
15．A　根据转折词but可以推知，人类想当然的认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可以用“心”更好地“引领”他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。

(2019年高考·课标全国卷Ⅱ)
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull，are equally funny and frightening，but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
1．Who does “I” refer to in the text?
A．Stephen King. B．Gillian Flynn.
C．Jo Usmar. D．Roald Dahl
2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?
A．Cosmopolitan. B．Matilda.
C．After Dark. D．The Stand.
3．What kind of book is Gone Girl?
A．A folk tale. B．A biography
C．A love story. D．A horror story.
答案与解析
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了作家Jo Usmar最喜欢的书籍。
1．C　细节理解题。由Matilda中的“I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words”可知，我曾经写过一篇关于童话故事对罗尔德·达尔写作有影响的论文，这篇论文让我对他奇怪而有趣的文字有了新的认识。所以Jo Usmar在介绍Matilda这本书，用第一人称“I”口吻来说明自己曾经写过一篇关于童话故事对罗尔德·达尔写作有影响的论文。所以“I”指的是Jo Usmar。故C选项正确。
2．C　细节理解题。由After Dark中的“It's about two sister-Eri，a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping, and Mari，a young student”可知，故事讲的是两个姐妹—Eri是一个突然一觉不醒的模特。玛丽，是一个充满青春活力的学生。所以After Dark中讲述了Eri和Mari的故事。故C选项正确。
3．D　细节理解题。由Gone Girl中的“...but the horror story is brilliant”可知，但是这个恐怖的故事很精彩。所以Gone Girl讲述的是一个恐怖故事。故D选项正确。

(2019年高考·课标全国卷Ⅱ)
“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug_at_the_heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on...At this point the unwilling parent speaks up，“Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”
I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
4．What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?
A．She knows little about the club.
B．She isn't good at sports.
C．She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D．She's unable to meet her schedule.
5．What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Encourage team work.
B．Appeal to feeling.
C．Promote good deeds.
D．Provide advice.
6．What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A．She gets interested in lacrosse.
B．She is proud of her kids.
C．She'll work for another season.
D．She becomes a good helper.
7．Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A．It gives her a sense of duty.
B．It makes her very happy.
C．It enables her to work hard.
D．It brings her material rewards.
答案与解析
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队，作为一名志愿者作者发挥了自己的作用，并获得了快乐。
4．C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“ You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.”可知，你可以当我是最后的候选人，如果没有其他的志愿者，那么我就做。由此可推断出，她不想做志愿者。故选C。
5．B　词义猜测题。根据画线前句“she may just need a little persuading.”和下面的一句话“I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on...”可知，作者为了劝服这位家长，举了两个例子。故可知，划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。
6．D　细节理解题。根据第三段中这位家长作出的贡献及“the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team”可知，她最终成为了志愿者队伍中的重要的一员，也即是说，她成了一个好帮手。故选D。
7．B　细节理解题。题干问作者为什么喜欢做志愿者工作。根据第四段最后两句“Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.”可知，为社区做贡献可以带来真正的快乐， 参加志愿者活动活动能让人感觉快乐。故选B。
Ⅲ.语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Learning English used to be about developing four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. After all, that's__1__ the exams are designed—with four skills tested separately.
But over the years, educators have come __2__(realize) that these four skills should never have been separated, but practiced all at once. And the best way to do that is, perhaps, through public speaking.
According to Mei Deming, a professor of English at Shanghai International Studies University, giving a speech in an international language __3__(require) a speaker to integrate(使成为一体) knowledge and content __4__(mental) and express the result systematically. Speakers must draw on the beauty of the language as a whole in order to communicate with an audience.
This is why the annual China Daily “21st Century Cup” National English Speaking Competition has been gaining in popularity since it began in 1996. “This competition has worked __5__a model for developing students' public-speaking skills in English and provided ideas for English teaching in schools and in learning in a broader sense，” said Mei.
Shi Guohua, __6__ English teacher at Shanghai Qibao High School, held a similar view. He said that key competence in acquiring English today comes from the ability to express oneself rather than in simply passing exams.
He also __7__(stress) that communication should go both ways since traditional English speaking education has focused too much on getting messages out while __8__(ignore) the receiver of these messages—the audience. “It's important to understand the audience and build the link between the content being delivered and the interests of the audience，” he said. “It's also important to create an impressive opening to a speech.”
As China continues to play an important role in global conversations, there will be more __9__(chance) for young Chinese people to present China and tell attracting stories. And in order to tell Chinese stories __10__(well), we first need to develop a more overall English skill. Working on public speaking is, perhaps, the place to start.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。学习英语过去就是关于四项技能的培养：听，说，读，写，主要是因为考试把四项技能分开测试。如何才能把四项技能高度地结合起来呢？本文作者告诉我们一个方法——公开演讲。
1. how　考查名词性从句。句意：毕竟，这就是考试如何被设计的——四项技能分开测试。根据句意可知，此处为how引导的表语从句，表示方式。故填how。
2. to realize　考查不定式作宾语。句意：但是，多年来，教育专家们开始意识到。此处考查动词搭配：come to realize开始意识到。故填to realize。
3. requires　考查第三人称单数。句意：用一门国际语言演讲需要演讲者把知识和内容做到精神上的统一。此处是在论述一般性的事实规律，故应使用一般现在时，且后句Speakers must draw on the beauty of the language as a whole in order to communicate with an audience.有提示。故填requires。
4. mentally　考查副词。句意：用一门国际语言演讲需要演讲者把知识和内容做到精神上的统一，并把结果系统地表述出来。此处用副词修饰动词integrate，故填mentally。
5. as　考查介词。句意：这项比赛已经成为了培养学生用英语公共演讲技能的典范。此处考查动词与介词的搭配：work as充当，担任。故填as。
6. an　考查不定冠词。句意：石国华，上海七宝中学的一名英语老师。English首字母音标为元音，故填an。
7. stressed　考查一般过去时。句意：他也强调，交流应该双向进行。结合上下文语境He said that key competence in acquiring English.，以及“It's also important to create an impressive opening to a speech.”可知，使用了一般过去时。此处时态应保持一致。故填stressed。
8. ignoring　考查现在分词作状语。句意：传统英语口语教育只是强调把信息表达出来，与此同时忽视了这些信息的接受者——观众。此处为状语从句的省略，省略了it is，其完整形式为：while it is ignoring the receiver of these messages—the audience。故填ignoring。
9. chances　考查名词单复数。句意：对年轻的中国人来说将会有更多的机会展示中国，讲述有趣的故事。chance为可数名词，前有more修饰，故应用复数形式。故填chances。
10. better　考查比较级。句意：为了更好地讲述中国故事，我们首先需要培养更为全面的英语技能。根据句意及后半句中的more可知，此处应使用比较级。故填better。
Ⅳ.书面表达

Dear sir，
My name is Li Hua. I'm writing to apply for the opportunity to be one of the Goodwill Ambassadors.
I'm a student in senior two who has a good knowledge of English and can communicate with native speakers freely. As an outgoing and hard-working boy, I often devote my spare time to making friends with foreigners, watching English movies and reading English novels, which makes me quite familiar with western cultures. As a Goodwill Ambassador, not only can I exchange ideas with the guests and spread Chinese culture, but also I can put my talent into good use.
I'd appreciate it if you offer me the precious opportunity. I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

(2019年高考·浙江卷)
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队的) medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet.But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: “Who are you？What antique shop？” However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N．Y. “At that point, I knew she meant business, ” Zac says. “To drive eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure.“ This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions(场合) would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands，” Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. “But as I grew older，” Adeline says, “and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left.” Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.
1．Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
A．In the army.
B．In an antique shop.
C．From his mother.
D．From Adeline Rockko.
2. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
A．She was very impolite.
B．She was serious about the medal.
C．She suspected his honesty.
D．She came from a wealthy family.
3．What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?
A．Her parents' advice.
B．Her knowledge of antiques.
C．Her childhood dream.
D．Her memory of her brother.
答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。Zachariah Fike有一个不同寻常的业余爱好：他在网上和古董店里寻找旧的军队勋章，然后将这些勋章归还它们的合法主人。文章主要叙述了他这一爱好的起源。
1．A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart—he earned one himself in a war as a soldier”可知，当Zac还是一名士兵的时候，在一次战争中他获得了一枚Purple Heart。故A选项正确。
2．B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To drive eight hours to come to see me”可以推知，Adeline为了那枚Purple Heart开车八个小时来见Zac，由此可知，她对于这件事是认真地。因此，“At that point, I knew she meant business”应该指的是Zac意识到Adeline对这枚勋章是认真的。故B选项正确。
3．D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Corrado, a translator...was killed in action in Europe”和倒数第三段中的“as I grew older...and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left ”可知，这枚勋章寄托了Adeline对于去世的哥哥Corrado的回忆和思念，这是她们家留下的唯一关于哥哥的东西了。因此她很珍惜这枚勋章。故D选项正确。

(2019年高考·浙江卷)
Money_with_no_strings_attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles，” Bridges said. “There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.”Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days，” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
4．What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Money spent without hesitation.
B．Money not legally made.
C．Money offered without conditions.
D．Money not tied together.
5．What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A．Women tended to be more sociable.
B．The activity attracted various people.
C．Economic problems were getting worse.
D．Young couples needed financial assistance.
6. Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A．To do a test on people's morals.
B．To raise money for his company.
C．To earn himself a good reputation.
D．To promote kindness and sympathy.
答案与解析
这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站，一块牌子上别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，拿走你所需要的”。这样的活动吸引了各种各样的人，组织者希望通过这样的活动来提倡仁慈和同情。
4．C　词义猜测题。由第一段“But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, ‘Give What You Can, Take What You Need.’”可知，但是上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站，一块牌子上别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，拿走你所需要的”。所以通过下文的语境，判断出第1段中的money with no strings attached是“无条件提供的钱”的意思。故C选项正确。
5．B　推理判断题。由第二段“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic (社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project.“We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.”可知，发起该项活动的泰勒·布里奇斯说：“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和索取。”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到了牌子前，拿走了一些钱。所以通过泰勒·布里奇斯所说的，可以判断出，他提到新娘就是想说明这项活动吸引了各种各样的人。故B选项正确。
6．D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段“While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy”可知，尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告活动的一部分，但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出慷慨和同情。所以布里奇斯实施这个活动是为了提倡仁慈和同情。故D选项正确。
C
(2019年济南外国语高三二模)
People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.
Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations but hid their feelings of insecurity(局促不安). Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before. The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people's laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.
Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact(联系) with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have an illness called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.
In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than ninety researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The researchers surveyed(调查) more than twenty-two thousand people in forty-two different languages. The findings appeared in the scientific magazine Humor.
7．What did the study find?
A．Being laughed at is a common fear.
B．Being laughed at is different from culture to culture.
C．Only people in Turkmenistan would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people's laughter.
D．The fear of being laughed at is different around the world.
8．Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people because ________．
A．they have a disorder called gelotophobia
B．it can affect how they lead their lives
C．they worry that something they say or do will be laughed at
D．they worry that all what they say or do will make other people laugh at them
9．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph3 refers to ________.
A．laughter B．gelotophobia
C．fear D．Phobia
答案与解析
这是一篇说明文。通过研究者对不同文化中人们对被嘲笑的反应进行对比，发现世界各地的人们对被嘲笑的恐惧是不同的。
7．D　事实细节题，根据第一段“芬兰人最不可能相信有人在他们面前大笑是在取笑他们。在研究中，不到10%的芬兰人表示他们会这样认为，而泰国只有80%的人这样认为”可知芬兰人和泰国人对被嘲笑的态度是不同的。第二段中“Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people's laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.”对比了伊拉克、埃及和约旦人对被嘲笑的态度也不同。最后一段的“They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures... ”指出，在研究中，他们想了解正常害羞和真正的被嘲笑恐惧症之间的区别。这项研究的另一个目的是比较不同文化中害怕被嘲笑的程度。可知，研究发现世界各地的人们对被嘲笑的恐惧是不同的。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
8．C　细节理解题。第三段中的“Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact (联系) with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them.”可知“害羞的人经常避免那些迫使他们与他人密切接触的情况。他们担心他们说的或做的事会让别人嘲笑他们”。分析选项可知C 项符合题意，故选C项符合题意，故选C项。
9．B　猜测词义题。本段意为“害羞的人经常避免那些迫使他们与他人密切接触的情况。他们担心他们说的或做的事会让别人嘲笑他们。但有些人比别人担心得多些。他们可能有一种叫gelotophobia病。”可知，害怕别人嘲笑的病叫gelotophobia。根据画线词的上文This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. “这种对笑声的恐惧对于那些生活在其中的人来说是非常糟糕的”，可知“It can affect how they lead their lives”中的it指的是上句所说的this fear of laughter，也就是“gelotophobia”。因此此处是指“这种对笑声的恐惧(gelotophobia)会影响他们的生活。”，分析选项可知，it是指gelotophobia ，因此B项符合题意，故选B。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn't had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? __1__
You know that there's always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. __2__
To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.
__3__The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy high-quality fresh food regularly.
__4__If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food, they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.
In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it's helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. __5__
So, if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.
A．Cooking skills may be another factor.
B．In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.
C．Living with a roommate could be a good thing because a roommate can share your expenses and contribute to your home's maintenance.
D．For example, we're actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.
E．What could explain these findings?
F．It's hard to find someone who doesn't grate on your nerves, has a similar cleanliness level as you and goes to bed at the same time.
G．However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.
答案与解析
本文讲述的是与人合住同居的好处，除了不感觉孤独，更有安全感之外，有室友陪伴，一个人会有更健康的饮食和更好的生活习惯。
1．G　考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本句是第一段与第二段的承上启下句。第一段说与人合住会出现问题，第二段叙述是与他人合住的好处就是让你感觉更安全等许多好处，可知这是合住的好处。由此可判断出上下文是转折关系，由此可知G项(然而，和另一个人一起生活也会带来很多好处)符合题意，故选G。
2．D　考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本空所在的第二段是叙述与他人合住的好处，而且是你没有注意到的，下面会再举一个你没有注意到的好处，例如，我们与他人一起生活时，实际上更有可能吃更健康的食物。因此D项就符合题意，故选D。
3．E　考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上一段说为了研究独居的影响，研究者研究后发现独居的人吃不健康的食品。接着下一段说研究人员相信烹饪、食物准备和饮食所扮演的社会和文化角色可能是重要的考虑因素。由此可知，这是对上一段研究发现的解释，分析选项可知E项(什么能解释这些发现？)符合题意，故选E项。
4．A　考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本空后的内容可知，本段说的是独居的人可能吃不健康的食品与烹饪知识有关，因为没有这方面的知识，所以就没有烹饪技巧，不会做饭。分析选项可知A项(烹饪技巧可能是另一个因素)符合题意。故选A。
5．B　考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据转折连词however可知前后两句意思是相反的。本空前的内容“然而，身边有人质疑你在凌晨3点吃冷冻披萨的决定对你是有帮助的。”那么下一句自然是说，合住的人对你也有不好的影响。分析选项可知B项(换句话说，室友可以把你的注意力放在不健康的套路上)正是与空前的意思相反，因此选项B符合题意。

答案与解析
本文为日常生活类文章。随着生活工作的进行，压力已是我们生活的一部分，我们不可能完全摆脱。适当的压力对人们的健康有益，只有当压力达到极限时，才会导致身体的不适，甚至是疾病。我们应该养成锻炼身体的习惯，在工作之余学会放松。本文介绍了一些缓解压力的办法。
1．C　考查连词。when当……时候； While当……时候，然而；Once一旦；As因为。根据语境，可知，本句是指“一旦”你养成了忙碌生活的习惯。故选C项。
2．D　考查形容词辨析。unnecessary不必要的；satisfied满意的；useful有用的；necessary必要的。前文中说人们正在失去放松的休闲方式，快节奏的生活难以减慢。But转折表明作者对relaxation的重视态度，但适度的放松对于健康的身心来说是“必须的necessary”，故选D。
3．B　考查形容词辨析。physical身体的；natural自然的；hard困难的；terrible可怕的。根据语境可知，此处是指压力是日常生活的“自然组成部分(natural part)”。因此选B。
4．C　考查动词辨析。tolerate容忍； solve 解决；avoid避免；accept 接受。前句说Stress is a natural part of everyday life“压力是日常生活中很自然的一部分”，可知人们不能避免压力。选项中只有avoid的意思为“避免，消除”，因此选C。
5．B　考查形容词辨析。sure确信的，有把握的；certain一定量的，已确定的；large巨大 的；great伟大的。本句是指“事实上，压力并不是人们通常认为的是坏事。一定程度的压力对于提供动力和……很重要。 分析选项可知，只有certain为“一定量的”，符合题意，故选B。
6．A　考查名词辨析。purpose目的；resource资源；influence影响； instruction指令。“provide motivation and give purpose to life”根据上句的解释可知是“给生活提供动机和目的”，故选A。
7．C　考查连词。分析句子It is only when the stress gets out of control ____ it can lead to poor performance可知，这里是强调句型，强词的是状语从句when the stress gets out of control，可知要用“that”。因此选C。
8．B　考查动词短语辨析的。insists on坚持； depends on取决于；calls on号召； spends...on...把……花费在……。根据下面的some people are not afraid of stress...Others lose heart at first ____ of unusual difficulties，“一些人……，另一些人……” 可知，本句是说“一个人能承受的压力很大程度上取决于个人”。 depends on“取决于……”。故选B。
9．C　考查固定搭配。根据语境可知，本句意为“有些人一见困难就心灰意冷” 。“at first sight”为固定搭配，意为“乍一看，第一眼看到”，故选C。
10．B　考查名词从句。句意：当暴露在压力下，无论是什么形式，我们都会在化学和物理上做出反应。分析句子，本空是作定语修饰名词form。所以C和D是副词不能作定语。不能选。whichever和whatever 都可作形容词，意为 “无论哪个”“无论哪些”。只是whichever是有范围的，而whatever没有范围。根据语意可知，本句没有范围，泛指一切形式的压力。因此要用“in whatever form”无论以何种形式。故选B。
11．B　考查名词辨析。peace和平；fright恐惧，畏惧；pressure压力；heaviness重量。此处为：我们必须在“畏惧”和“抗争”中作出选择。因此选B。
12．C　考查名词辨析。decision 决定；promise诺言；difference区别；choice选择。在古代这些选择会在生和死之间产生很大的影响。make a/the difference为固定搭配，意为“有区别，有影响”，因此C项符合题意。
13．A　考查形容词辨析。unlikely 不可能的；Likely可能的；necessary必要的；probable可能的。本句的主语是we，所以只有A和B的主语可以是人。而C和D的主语不能是人。本句的句意为“今天我们所面临的危机不可能是那么的极端”，可知A符合题意。
14．C　考查形容词辨析。balanced平衡的；injured受伤的；threatened受到威胁的；changeable易变的。本句是说“正是当这种反应持续很长时间，通过持续暴露于压力，健康才受到威胁的。”根据语境可知，C项符合题意。
15．B　考查连词辨析。Unless除非；Since既然，自从；For因为；Though尽管。此处是指“既然我们无法从生活中消除压力，我们就必须想办法去应对它”。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。
Ⅳ.语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever been __1__(embarrass) because of forgetting something important. Most people have. And, what is worse, most people have resigned(放弃) themselves to a life of __2__(forget). They are unaware of a simple but important fact __3__ memory can be developed. If you'll just accept that fact, this book will show you how.
First, relax. If you are overanxious about remembering something, you will forget it. Relaxing is very necessary, __4__ will enhance your awareness and ability to concentrate. Take deep __5__ (breathe) and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.
Second, avoid __6__ (negative). If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it. Actually negative jokes can also have a terrible __7__ (affect ) on you and your memory.
To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can __8__ (strength) through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you are learning a language, try to actively remember __9__ (regular) verbs.
You may also want to make associations, or links, between what you are trying to remember __10__ things you already know.
答案与解析
1．embarrassed　考查语境。句意：你有没有因为忘记一些重要的事情而尴尬？分析语境可知，本空是修饰人的，embarrass为动词，所以 要用embarrassed “窘迫的，尴尬的”，故填 embarrassed。
2．forgetting　考查动词ing形式作介词宾语。分析句子可知，本空是作介词of的宾语，所以要用其动词的ing形式做宾语，因此填 forgetting。
3．that　考查同位语从句。句意：他们没有意识到一个简单而重要的事实就是记忆可以被开发出来。分析句子可知，本句为同位语从句。后面的从句就是对名词fact的进一步解释说明，二者是同位语的关系，且that在从句中不作任何成分，只起引导词的作用。所以要用连词that。
4．which　考查非限制性定语从句。句意：放松是非常必要的，这会增强你的意识和集中注意力的能力。分析句子Relaxing is very necessary, __4__ will enhance your awareness and ability to concentrate.可知，本句为非限制性定语从句，本空指代的是前面的句子放松是非常必须的“Relaxing is very necessary”，在后面的从句中作主语，故要用关系代词which 。
5．breaths　考查固定搭配。take deep breaths为固定搭配，意为“深呼吸”，因此填breaths。
6．being negative　考查固定用法。句意：第二，避免消极否定。avoid doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“避免做某事”，negative为形容词，所以要用being negative。
7．effect　考查固定搭配。have an effect on 为固定搭配，意为“对……有影响”，因此要用动词affect的名词形式，故填 effect。
8．be strengthened　考查情态动词后跟动词原形。句意：像你的身体一样，你的记忆力可以通过锻炼来提高。分析语境可知，can后要用动词原形，而your memory 与动词 strengthen是被动关系，记忆力与提高二者被动关系，记忆力是被提高，故在用被动。所以填 be strengthened。
9．irregular　考查形容词作定语。分析句子可知，本空是修饰名词verbs，修饰名词要用形容词。句意“如果你在学习一门语言，尽力记住不规则动词”，根据常识可知，我们要记住不规则动词。可知要用regular 的反义词irregular。故填 irregular。
10．and　考查连词。句意：您可能还想在您试图记住的内容和您已经知道的内容之间建立关联或链接。between...and...，意为“在……和……之间”，因此填and。
