A
Lost cities that have been found
The White City
In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of"the Lost City of the Monke God"led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.
Canopus and Heracleion
Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu Picchu
A Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.
Troy
The ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still meana lot. My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.Immediately, I was grateful that I had done that___4___
It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.
By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.
It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?
A. He was lucky to learn the lesson.
B. It was a good idea to do shopping that day.
C. He was right to pick up the paper.
D. It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.
5. What information did the writer get from the paper?
A The woman's license plate number.
B. The woman's phone number.
C. The woman's name.
D. The woman's address.
6. How did the woman lose the receipt?
A. She forgot where she had put it.
B. A strong wind blew it away.
C. It fell onto the floor.
D. She left it in the parking lot.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Lesson I Will Never Forget
B. Never Lose Heart or Give up
C. Little Things Still Mean a Lot
D. Think Carefully Before You Act
C
Move over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.
Helicopter parenting the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.
It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.
Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.
Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting
angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.
But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?
“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.”
8. What do we know about snowplow parenting?
A. It appeared before helicopter parenting.
B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.
C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century.
D. It provides more than enough services for children.
9. What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?
A. Its cost.
B. Its benefits.
C. Its popularity.
D. Its ending.
10. Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys?
A. To show teenagers are no better than babies.
B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.
C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.
D. To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.
11. What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?
A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.
B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents.
C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.
D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.
D
Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken theU.K.resident on “star walking” trips toIcelandand into theArctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard,star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.
What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.
So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.
While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.
It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天体）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map. Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment. Space Place posts monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.
In the United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try GlacierNational Park in Montana.
If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the International Astronomical Union are useful for finding resources by area.
At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
“With all of the chaos（混乱）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who hasbeen exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”
12. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.
A. going to an observatory
B. looking at stars in mountains
C. combining hiking and stargazing
D. setting up a telescope in the backyard
13. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.
A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodies
B. it is good for physical and mental health
C. they can enjoy the journey without crowds
D. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies
14. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.
A. prepare a pair of strong boots
B. start by observing with telescopes
C. join an astronomy club or an observatory
D. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps
15. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. excite people’s interest in star walking
B. recommend some places for star walking
C. explain the health benefits of star walking
D. introduce the preparations for star walking

In the morning of September 29, 2018, from 10:00 to 11:00, all the students in our school took a part in a Sunshine Sports Programmer. The Ministry of Education demands that students exercised for an hour every day so as to have a strong body and enjoying the whole life. In my opinion, it is a good idea for we senior high school students to take exercise every day. Now, everyone was eager for health, that is considered as a key factor for success. Because we spend an hour a day on exercise, it is well worth it. Not only taking exercise build up our bodies, but it also helps us concentrate on our study. Therefore, we can work more efficiently in the process of study and acquire much knowledge.

52.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。

Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on the island in the middle of the lake. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy, which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. On the day before the bass season opened, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The
father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put the fish back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“There will be other fish," said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,” My boy, rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.
