Ⅰ阅读理解
A
(2019·长春质量监测一)Celeste Ng, a new writer, has gained recognition for her first novel, EverythingINeverToldYou.
Ng’s parents came from China in the 1960s．Ng was born in America and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Shaker Heights, Ohio, in a family of scientists．Celeste went to Harvard University and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan, where she won the Hopwood Award.
Although her novel is not about race, the characters are Asian．The main character is Lydia, a teenage girl, who is the favorite of three children born to a white mother and a Chinese­American father．The story is about Lyd ia’s disappearance, and the emotions the family goes through as the mystery unfolds．The whole family deals with sorrow, regret, and exposed secrets as they search for their lost daughter.
Though the characters in this story are Asian, Ng says she did n’t really want to include Asian characters．She was afraid people would think the story was about real people in her life．Because she grew up in America and doesn’t speak Chinese, she was actually surprised that she included Asian characters in the book.
The book has taken off, especially on Amazon, where it won the Editor’s Pick for No．1 Best Book of the Year in 2014．Ng is still getting used to the attention, saying she is still amazed when people tell her they have read her book．With so many readers, it’s safe to say this is a book you should read．But if you’re looking for a simple mystery, this book might not be for you．Most readers warn that you should not read this book unless you’re prepared to cry.

(2019·东北三省四市教研联合体二模)The UNICEF(United Nations International Chi ldren’s Emergency Fund )report estimates that around one­third of the world’s youth—most in developing countries-are not online.For example, in Africa, only 40 percent of children are online. In Europe, by contrast, 88 percent are online.
UNICEF reports that one in three Internet users around the world are children．Even though so many children are online, the organization says little is known about the effect of digital technology on children’s well­being.
More importantly, the report finds that little is being done to protect children
from the dangers of the digital world．For example, many children around the world have a digital footprint before they can actually walk and make real footprints. Parents often post photos of their children and share stories about them．And a child’s medical records may be stored in the cloud.
As children grow, they may share additional details about themselves or photos and videos of themselves．But making all this personal information public may put a child at risk．Laurence Chandy, Director of Data, Research and Policy for UNICEF, explains that these risks include the misuse of children’s private information, access to harmful content and cyber­bullying.
Besides cyber­bullying, Laurence Chandy says children are also at risk from online criminal networks．These criminals target children for some of the worst forms of exploitation and abuse．He says safeguarding children’s privacy on the Internet is an issue of major concern.
“We really emphasize the importance of putting in place safeguards to prevent children’s personal data from falling in the wrong people’s hands and protecting their identities．This is an issue which is only going to grow in importance．”
Parents, caregivers, teachers and school administrators, businesses and policymakers need to work together to ensure safe access and protect children from the possible harm of a growing digital world.

Ⅱ七选五
(2019·重庆第三次调研)
Stay Smart When Shopping the “Sales”
We’ve already gone through Singles’Day and Black Friday．Now, it’s on to “Double Twelve” and Christmas Sales．So, like me, 1．________， you probably soon will be.
November to January is peak time for shoppers, and retailers(零售商) are counting on us to open our wallets．2．________， there are dozens of ads offering “deep discounts”for clothes, shoes and even holiday trips．And then there are the coupons(优惠券)．Gee!
A 500－80 coupon! I can get 500 yuan’s worth of stuff and I only pay 420 yuan! But, beware, this is a clever marketing trick that attracts you to spend more than you planned...3．________
They have some other tricks, too．There is the “Buy one and get the second one for
half price．” They’ve just got you to spend more．Another trick is “marking down”
a price tag．The price tag on that beautiful winter coat says 1, 000 yuan, but that price is crossed out and the new price is 350 yuan．4．________ The real price may actually be just 350 yuan and the retailer wants you to think otherwise.
5．________， you have to plan ahead. Before the sales begin, check out the items you want online or in the shops．Then compare the price with the “sales” price to see if they’re really cheaper．And it’s also a good idea to decide how much you can afford to spend and keep to that limit.
A．when I shop the “sales”
B．if you’re not already broke
C．These coupons are really great
D．Wow! What a bargain! But, is it?
E．Retailers are great psychologists!
F．When I open my phone or computer
G．If you want to avoid the tricks
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了零售商的一些促销伎俩以及如何聪明应对“购物打折季”。

1．B解析：根据本空在句中的位置可知本空在句中作从句。

前文中提到Singles’ Day, Black Friday, Double Twelve, Christmas都是购物旺季，因此经过这些购物季后很多人会资金紧张甚至破产，故B项符合文意。

2．F解析：根据本空在句中的位置可知本空在句中作从句。

根据空后的“dozens of ads”可知，这些广告出现在各种媒体上。

故F项符合文意。

3．E解析：根据空前的“I can get 500 yuan’s worth of stuff and I only pay 420 yuan！”以及“this is a clever marketing trick that attracts you to spend more than you planned”可知，零售商抓住了消费者的心理，促使消费者多购物。

故E项“零售商是伟大的心理学家！”符合文意。

4．D解析：根据空前的“The price tag on that beautiful winter coat says 1，000 yuan，but that price is crossed out and the new price is 350 yuan．”和空后的“The real price may actually be just 350 yuan and the retailer wants you to think otherwise．”可知，零售商打出的折扣价实际上并不是真实的，并不便宜。

故D项“哇！真便宜！但是，真的便宜了吗？”符合文意。

5．G解析：根据空后的“Before the sales begin，check out the items you want online or in the shops．Then compare the price with the ‘sales’price to see if they’re really cheaper．”可知，这些都是为了避免被营销伎俩欺骗而需要提前做的准备。

故G项符合文意。

. Luckily, I had my cell phone in my bag ．I called the emergency services, ∧⑩and

考查冠词。

go on a trip “去旅行”是固定搭配。

②have 改为had 。

考查时态。

根据句中的时间状语“the year before”可知，这个动作发生在上文提到的Last year 之前，所以要用过去完成时。

③wonderfully 改为wonderful 。

考查形容词。

修饰名词experience, 作定语，要用形容词。

④删除at 。

考查介词。

there 是副词。

arrive 为不及物动词，故此处不需要加介词。

⑤storm 改为storms 。

考查名词。

根据前面的系动词were 可知，这里要用可数名词storm“暴风雨(雪)”的复数形式。

⑥decide改为decided。

考查时态。

句子讲述的是过去发生的事情，故这里要用一般过去时。

⑦that改为it。

考查代词。

谈论时间、日期、距离、天气等时应用it作主语，故将that 改为it。

⑧since改为while/when/as。

考查连词。

根据语境可知，这里表示“在我们等待天气转好时”，所以要用连词while/when/as。

⑨frightening改为frightened。

考查形容词。

此处表示“(人)感到害怕的”，故要用frightened。

frightening表示“令人害怕的”。

⑩at last前加and。

考查连词。

根据语境可知，两个句子之间是顺承关系，故应用并列连词and。
