Winnie the Pooh
by A A Milne
My father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.
A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.
Last Chance to See
by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine
This book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.
Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning (支撑) everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear. PicturePalace
by Paul Theroux
I've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, fromthat first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along. I had an art teacher who told me, “You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.”

A. To indicate the book has realistic values.

D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.
2. What didLast Chance to Seestrike into Kate's heart?

As we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in theUK. All theme parks inBritainhave cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair“ rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e. g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.
Whenever you are inBritain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours,drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿)so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.
Prices forUKtheme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.
Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don't like crowds ifs usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!
If you're thinking of visiting aUKtheme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have " buy one get one free" offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.
4. This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT.______.
A. things to do
B. prices for theme parks
C. rules to obey
D. special offers
5. If you go to the theme park during the weekdays, you'll probably.______.
A. have to spend more

America---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.
I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?
The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.
The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.
8. Why does the writer mention Europe?
A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.
B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.
C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.
D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education
9. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?
A. Less concerned.
B. More worried.
C. Quite doubtful.
D. Very supportive.
10. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?
A. Make the world globalizing.
B. Achieve success in business.
C. Experience people’s real life there.
D. Keep away their own culture.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Using a second language can bring harmony.
B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.
C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.
D. Learning a second language can be difficult.
D
The cumulative rainfall in Henan province during the four days was the highest since the province has records, the provincial meteorological service said. The rain was heaviest in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, for a short period on Monday and Tuesday. Northern, western and central parts of Henan also experienced downpours, the service said. Zhengzhou's biggest one-hour precipitation (降水量) —201.9 mmbetween 4 and 5 pm on Tuesday—was also the highest on the Chinese mainland. The previous record was 198.5 mmin the village of Linzhuang in Zhumadian in August 1975, the National Meteorological Center said. The city's precipitation duringthe four days exceeded that of its average annual precipitation, the center said.
Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said abundant water vapor (水蒸气) brought by Typhoon In-Fa and the province's special geographical features led to Henan's rain. “Partly affected by the typhoon, large amounts of water vapor have been transported to China's inland areas, including Henan,” he said.
From Thursday to Monday, rain was forecast to continue in Henan. However, rainfall will gradually subside in Zhengzhou and the province's northern and central regions, though the storms will increase the risk of mountain
torrents and other geological disasters. By Monday, lighter rain is forecast for parts of Henan, the provincial weather service said. However, local authorities are still urged to bevigilantand prepare to prevent or cope with flooding and other possible disasters.
Predicting such weather events remains a challenge worldwide because it involves many meteorological phenomena, the center said. “The formation of this kind of extreme weather, including rainstorms and high temperatures, is complex,” Chen said. “We still lack effective solutions and methods for such forecasting”, he said. “We are now putting a lot of effort into tackling the difficulty. We believe that as the technology improves, we can better forecast the events.”
12. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the first paragraph?
A. heavy rain fell in Zhengzhou.
B. The rain in Henan lasted four days.
C. Zhumadian also suffered the similar heavy rain.
D. Henan experienced the biggest rainfall of all time.
13. What can be indicated from Chen Tao's words?
A. It is not easy to forecast the extreme weather.
B The rain of Henan is mainly caused by Typhoon In-Fa.
C. The center hasn't put a lot of effort into solving the problem.
D. Rainstorms and high temperatures can account for the heavy rain.
14. What does the underlined word “vigilant” probably mean?
A. Relaxed.
B. Alert.
C. Reluctant.
D. Communicative.
15. Where might the text be most probably taken from?
A. history book.
B. A novel.
C. A news report.
D. A science magazine.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Lesia Cartelli was badly burned in a gas explosion at her grandparent’s house at age 9. In fact，the burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. But now，this brave woman uses her injured past to help other burn victims find healing.
On that terrible day，Lesia and her cousin were playing in their grandparent’s basement. A gas leak caused
the whole house to blow up. The explosion threw many of the 9 family members in the home across the street. Already a fighter，Lesia pulled herself out of the ruins. Flames still covered her little body，so she rolled in the dirt and snow to put them out.
“It was all face，hands，back and it had burned around my waist，”she says. Lesia’s own grandfather thought she was someone else because of how badly she was burned. As nursing staff loaded her into the ambulance，her grandfather tried to leave. He thought the house ruins still held his granddaughter’s body. Even though Lesia was right in front of him，he didn’t realize it was the same child.
Catching a glimpse of her reflection in the ambulance window helped Lesia understand why her grandfather didn’t recognize her. Burns covered 50％of her body and fire burned off all her hair.
Lesia spent several months in the hospital，undergoing surgeries and skin grafts(移植). Once released，Lesia’s scars(疤)drew stares and questions from people. so she started isolating herself.
“When I was burned，everything in my life changed，”she said. “My friendships changed. I hated going to schoo1. You are coping with things you never had to cope with before. People staring at you. People asking questions. Why do you look like that?”
Lesia could have remained isolated her whole life. When bad things happen，we can always choose to move backwards or to let God give our pain purpose. Lesia chose the latter，realizing she was put on this Earth to do more than just survive.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

【51题详解】
考查名词。

句意：一个好朋友应该具备的品质之一就是诚实。

“one of……”，后接可数名词复数，表示……中的一个。

故将quality改为qualities。

【52题详解】
考查介词。

句意：1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右，一些人看到天空中出现了明亮的光。

英语中表示时间的介词on+具体某日/星期几，表示某一具体的时间(常表达某一天)，in后一般加一段时间，年，月，四季等。

故将in改为on。

【53题详解】
考查形容词。

句意：在农家院子里，鸡甚至猪都被吓得吃不下东西。

frightened感到害怕的；frightening令人害怕的，指事情是令人恐惧的。

根据句子意思可知，这里鸡和猪是感到害怕的，而不是鸡和猪是令人害怕的。

故将frightening改为frightened。

【54题详解】
考查数词。

句意：三分之二的人在地震中死亡或受伤。

英语中表示几分之几，分子用基数词one two three……表示，分母用序数词second third fourth……表示，当分子大于1时，分母加-s。

故将third改为thirds。

【55题详解】
考查动词。

句意：军队组队挖出被困人员，埋葬死者。

trap为动词，“设圈套,陷入(困境)，捕捉”，分析句子可知，在定语从句those who were trap中，先行词those与谓语动词trap之间是被动关系，因此要用被动语态，be +及物动词的过去分词形式。

故将trap改为trapped。

【56题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。

句意：我们会照顾在大地震中失去父母的孩子。

本句为定语从句，先行词the children 与从句中parents是所属关系，表示孩子们的父母，关系词在从句中作定语，用关系代词whose。

故将who 改为whose。

【57题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：仿佛世界到了尽头。

at the end使用时后面常跟介词of，at the end of在……的最后，通常指某一发展过程的最终结束。

at an end用于句尾，搭配be动词使用，表示结束。

故将the改为an。

【58题详解】
考查副词。

句意：二战期间，诺曼·白求恩作为医生在中国无私地工作。

分析可知，白求恩医生是无私的，selfish是自私的意思，应该用它的反义词“无私”，分析句子，此处用副词修饰work这一动作。

故将selfish 改为selflessly。

【59题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：为什么纳尔逊·曼德拉求助于暴力以使黑人和白人平等？turn to sb/sth.求助于......,向......求教，转向等。

介词to后直接跟名词、代词、动名词等。

故将for去掉。

【60题详解】
考查倒装句。

句意：历史上从来没有一座城市被如此彻底地摧毁。

英语中，never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首时，则其后要用部分倒装，将助动词提到主语前，分析句子可知，时态为现在完成时，形式是have/has + 过去分词，主语a city是单数，谓语动词用单数。

故将history后加has
52.略。
