河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)

河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)

第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically(内在地)motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A.shy people are sensitive to rewardsB.shy people care more about contentC.outgoing people are more careful about chancesD.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2.The example of Johnny shows______.A.shy people are likely to be modestB.hardworking students speak little in publicC.some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD.shy people may have an advantage in discussion3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.A.shyness results in successB.shyness contributes to popularityC.outside reward leads to insistenceD.uncertainty counts more than certainty4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.A.giving definitions and presenting research resultsB.explaining problems and providing solutionsC.quoting authorities and making evaluationsD.making contrasts and gibing examplesB“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out”if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on” is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.A.some footballers refuse to play a gameB.someone else is wanted on the phoneC.someone is not qualified for a positionD.someone was delayed by heavy traffic6.The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little_______.A.amusingB.politeC.unfriendlyD.offensive7.If some teachers “hold out”,they probably______.A.change their attitudeB.refuse to workC.make a compromiseD.show their devotion8.Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A.I was late as I was held up by a hold up.B.Hold on!You have to pay the bill,sir.C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.CHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic(火山似的)dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava(熔岩)flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale(范围)eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的),rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness(预案)When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be inmunication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del munication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope(斜坡),21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.9.The passage is intended for_______.A.the general publicB.architectsC.adventurersD.geographers10.When building houses,people tend to______.A.judge volcanic dangers carefullyB.take volcanic dangers seriouslyC.live near a quiet volcanoD.find a safer place far away from a volcano11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC.the bravery of the people in Armero TownD.the uncertainty of volc ano’s damageDI was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“H ow do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking rig ht at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.The author may start his own business in the future.13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.A.went back to his seat and got seatedB.knew his colleague had some questionsC.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD.thought his colleague would get nowhere14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A.Japan.B.America.C.Africa.D.France15.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

Ⅰ。

阅读理解(2016·广东高三适应性测试)It is only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence。

There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example,we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic!”or “Stay on the footpath close to me. ” In using the latter,you will be helping your kids to think and act positively,and to feel competent in a wide range of situations,because they know what to do,and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do。

Why does such a small thing make a difference?It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think,we automatically rehearse(预演)。

For example,if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes,you wouldn't be able to do it。

周周测一阅读明白得专练专练(一) 细节明白得题直接信息明白得类A(2017·青岛统一检测)No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But, can they rise to the level of art? Organizers of an exhibit in New York City think so.Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Eleven artists used the small, ordinary objects to create sculptures, portraits and wearable art. Some of the works are political, some are personal and others are just fun.Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art. “What I tried to do with this show,” he said,“was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft. ”He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in the work”.Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table. A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wineflowing down. Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor.McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.For San Francisco­based artist Lisa Kokin, buttons are highly personal. After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits, including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long, narrow legs.“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers: artist Danny, hip­hop producer Russell and rapper . The foundation seeks to bring the arts to urban youth and to provide support for new artists.1.W hy did Wright organize “The Button Show”?A. To show the importance of buttons.B. To support the new artists.C. To raise the button show to the level of art.D. To create sculptures and portraits.2.Whose works are personal?A. Peter Souleo Wright.B. Beau McCall.C. Lisa Kokin.D. Amalia Amaki.3.If you want to see “The Button Show”, you should ________.A. buy tickets before March 12B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12C. go to Rush Arts GalleryD. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts FoundationB(2017·山东实验中学一模)A Real Lesson in HumilityBook T. Washington, the well­known black educator, was an outstanding example of this truth.Shortly after he took over the presidency of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he was walking in an exclusive section of town when he was stopped by a wealthy white woman. Not knowing the famous Mr. Washington by sight, she asked if he would like to earn a few dollars by chopping wood for her.Because he had no pressing business at the moment, Professor Washington smiled, rolled up his sleeves, andproceeded to do the humble chore she had requested. When he was finished, he carried the logs into the house and stacked them by the fireplace.A little girl recognized him and later told the lady. The next morning the embarrassed woman went to see Mr. Washington in his office at the Institute and apologized sincerely. “It's perfectly all right, Madam,”he replied.“Occasionally I enjoy a little manual labor. Besides, it's always a delight to do something for a friend.”She shook his hand warmly and assured him that his personality had endeared him and his work to her heart. Not long afterward she showed her admiration by persuading some wealthy acquaintances to join her in donating thousands of dollars to the Tuskegee Institute.4.Why did the woman stop Washington?A. To ask him some questions.B. To hire a helping hand.C. To talk about pressing business.D. To help her earn money.5.How did the rich lady feel when she discovered Washington's identity?A.

This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back seat up so that it was our own little playroom. She would pack everything up so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.When it got to the point where we_were_at_each_other's_throats we would be sent back to our own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and traveled around the earth.Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off (食物烘烤赛). But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other's faces as silly Plasticine (普莱斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other's mouths open, see how thin we could make the other's eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.10. What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?A. Watch movies.B. Play video games.C. Have fun with his brother.D. Pack things up to amuse himself.11. What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other's throats”?A. We were fighting with each other.B. We used up our skills.C. We were quite out of breath.D. We were about to fall asleep.12. What impressed the author most during the trip?A. Playing cards and board games.B. Pulling each other's faces and eyes.C. Having a cooking competition.D. Playing with silly Plasticine.13. Which of the following titles would best suit the passage?A. An Unforgettable Family TravelB. What Is the Most Meaningful JourneyC. The Good Old Days Never to Be ForgottenD. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the Past间接信息明白得类ABeer seldom lasts long, and sometimes there is can or bottle leftover after a party. When this occurs, the leftover can be used in a variety of ways, many of which most people would never think of.Beer is a surprisingly good wood furniture polish. Let a can of beer go completely stale (不新鲜) and pour a little onto a soft cloth. Polish your furniture with the cloth and follow up with a dry cloth. You will be amazed at how shiny your furniture will end up looking.The slug (蛞蝓虫) is a terrible pest in the garden, particularly if you are growing plants for eating. Instead of using chemicals on your vegetables, bury a small cup in the garden and pour fresh beer in it. The slugs will be attracted to the smell, get drunk and drown. Be sure to refresh the beer daily, and you would have a cup full of slugs and healthy-looking cabbages.Bees are also attracted by the smell of beer, so try putting a few open beer cans around the yard at your BBQ and you can enjoy BBQ in a nature-like garden. Obviously you should put the cans away from where people will be sitting or standing, and make sure that no one decides to drink from one of the cans when they are drunk—it will result in a very unpleasant situation.Beer is also an excellent skin conditioner. If you want to have a long bath, pour a good can of dark beer into the water in advance. This is a nice substitute to salt which softens water. Also if you have a stomach upset, slowly drinking a can of beer can help to settle it down. The alcohol in the beer can help to ease the pain.1. From the first paragraph we know that ________.A. beer can have a long quality guarantee periodB. people often make leftover when drinking beerC. most people ignore the use of the beer leftoverD. beer cans or bottles can be recycled in many ways2. Taking the example of the two insects, the author tries to tell us ________.A. some insects prefer the smell of fresh beerB. the beer in open cans can be more attractive to insectsC. slugs and bees can be harmful to picnickersD. pouring some beer on plants can drive insects away3. The author believes that dark beer can ________.A. help soften waterB. be used to replace saltC. prevent stomachache happeningD. ease the pain after drinking alcohol4. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Polish your furniture with beer.B. Improve your garden with beer.C. Try to drink beer in a healthy way.D.

Harley, who is missing an eye and has other medical issues from his time at the mill, is now a “spokes-dog”against puppy mills. He serves as the adorable furry face of the “Harley to the Rescue” campaign, which raises funds for the National Mill Dog Rescue, according to a press release.The pup was rescued back in 2020 and adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. “It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die,” Harley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. “We never would have ever thought he would live this long and make such a difference for so many puppies.”The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dogand was chosen as the winner through public votes.

I have hated getting up early all my life. The moment the alarm goes off in the morning, I feel sick. Nights, though, are different; I'll happily stay up and I'll do anything to escape an early start.This makes me an owl, but I know many larks (云雀)who insist that dawn is the best part of the day. While I go to work sleepy they have been up for hours and even seem cheerful about it. But it is wrong to say that society is exactly divided into larks and owls.Surveys that explore what time of day people prefer to do activities show that only 20% of adults are true larks or owls. That leaves 80% of us—half of which lean towards one direction or the other, the other half are neither.Schools and work often start very early, and there's a sense of love for getting up early while owls are simply slovenly. But no one suggests that larks are lazy for having an early night while owls are working.Fortunately science is on my side. I'm not sleeping my life away or missing the best part of the day. I'm behaving according to my genes. Researchers have found that one's chronotype(睡眠类型) is largely genetic. So it seems that when I try to get up early I am fighting my genes. With the help of an alarm clock I can force myself to get up early. But as soon as I fail to set the alarm my genes will return me to my old ways.9.According to the passage, what is the characteristic of larks?A. They go to bed late and get up late.B.

Half of people seem to be owls.D. People can only be divided into larks and owls.11.The underlined word “slovenly” in Paragraph 4 can be bes t replaced by “________”.A. lazyB. boredC. tiredD. stupid12.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.

It investigates the association between the so-called reproductive factors—such as having children and breastfeeding—and a woman's risk of death.Researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across 10 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Sweden, with anaverage age of 50.Each woman was followed for an average of years. During this period, there were 14,383 deaths overall, which included 5,938 deaths from cancer and 2,404 deaths from circulatory system diseases, according to the study.The team compared reproductive factors with the risk of death from several common conditions, such as breast cancer, strokes and heart diseases.The researchers found that women who had given birth had a 20 percent reduced risk of death than those who had not. It was also found that there was a reduced risk of death (8 percent) in women who had breastfed compared to those who had not.The risk of death from cancer was lower in those who had given birth compared to those who had not. Within this group, the risk was reduced even further in women that gave birth to two or three children in comparison to those who had only one child.“Hormonal mechanisms may explain the lower risk of death that we observed with breastfeeding, and having given birth, as these factors are associated with changes in hormone levels,”said Dr Melissa Merritt from ICL, who led the study.11. According to the passage, the risk of death from cancer is lower in women who ________.A. have given birth to no childB. have given birth to one childC. have given birth to more than one childD. have breastfed12.According to the research, if a woman has given birth and breastfed, her risk of death will decrease by ________.A.20% B.28% C.12% D.16%13.Which of the following might be one of the findings of the research?A.Several common conditions lead to women's death.B.Reproductive factors are associated with changes in hormone levels.C.Women who have given birth live longer than those who have not.D.Having children might reduce women's risk of death from some diseases.。

However, Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need by playing music on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and donating what he can to them, WTSP reported.In addition to playing for the public, Maltsby also hosts a radio show on WRXB called “Blind Boy Radio”. While on air, the musician gives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers. To date, Maltsby has donated $2,000, but his funds are running low—even with help from sponsors. That's why he's turning to the community for help.Maltsby has set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of collecting $25, 000 to aid struggling people in the community.While Maltsby's benevolent (慈善的) spirit is inspiring, it's often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money.This past winter, for example, when DominiqueHarrison­Bentzen, a British student, did't have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had—$—for a taxi. She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds(over $50,000).“I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them,” Harrison­Bentzen told The Mirror.“If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person,h ear their story.”1.

Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and were always in moderation (控制). As for myself, I wasn't interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in common—alcohol, and plenty of it. Not wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didn't matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out (喝醉). It seemed shallow to me I wanted to get to know my new classmates, not how fast they could down a pint of beer.Gradually, however, I realized that real friends don't judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend I went cycling with a classmate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group, I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.Another valuable lesson I learned is that it's perfectly okay to say “No” if you don't want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking (狂喝)has become the norm. Many people who drink don't necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure (同伴压力)—they're afraid to say “No”.5. What shocked the author when he entered university?A. The strange campus.B.

By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks.B. By staying away from group activities.C. By giving in to the peer pressure.D.

The year I was eight, we barely had two dimes (十分硬币) for the coming Christmas.Our neighbor suggested that we hang lights in our yard to lift the Christmas spirit along our street. However, we had just enough money for things to decorate our living room.There was a hardware store (五金店) down the street. I wanted to see how much the lights cost. On the way I spotteda dime on the sidewalk. Joy! How lucky I was to have found10 cents !In the store, I stared longingly at the strings of outdoor lights. I knew I could not buy even the smallest set. Then I saw the single lights, and my hope rose. I got excited when discovering a single bulb cost only 20 cents.Walking home, I was thinking how I might get another dime. Maybe if I helped my grandma gather evergreens, she would give me a few cents. As expected, Grandma asked for my help on the weekend. But I didn't get a cent when we finished.Several days later, Uncle Charlie dropped in, and gave each child a dime. We jumped with delight. Just as soon as I could, I went back to the hardware store and bought a single colored bulb. Back home, I climbed the ladder and replaced the clear light with the colored one. After the sunset, I switched on the light and, unobserved, went outside to see the lovely colored light in the darkness.When Daddy came home, he asked, “Who put the light on the front door?”“I did, Daddy!”I smiled up at him.“Doesn't it look Christmassy?”He bent down and, with tears in his eyes, took me gently in his arms.Our house was wearing some holiday spirit, and it looked beautiful.8.

Emergency workers are going door­to­door to search for anyone who may still be trapped in their homes. At least seven deaths have been blamed on the storm so far.The storm poured more than 20 inches of rain on one area of Columbia, South Carolina's capital. Many cars ended upcompletely under water on flooded streets. Even weather experts said they were surprised by the amount of rain the storm poured on the state. On Sunday, Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years.Earlier in the week, weather experts had predicted Hurricane Joaquin to attack the East Coast, but the hurricane turned away in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the shift, Shepherd says tropical moisture (水分) from the hurricane helped boost the power of the rainstorm in the Carolinas and several neighboring states.According to the National Weather Service, Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia. The rainfall total at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was inches, the highest one­day level ever recorded there.The flooding caused water main breaks that have threatened the drinking water supply for South Carolina's capital city. Columbia officials told all 375 000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking it. Worse still, many roads and bridges across the state were washed out or under water.One of the hardest hit areas in Columbia was near Gills Creek, where a weather station recorded over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. Rescue crews used boats to save the family of Jeff Whalen, whose house backed up on the stream.Columbia residents have also been helping one another. Rawlings LaMotte, 38, said he and a friend got into a small motorboat and transported several people to safety.1.

In exchange, they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen, bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.Currently only three flats are available, but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital. “Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month, depending on the area,” one local university advises.Those who apply don't need any specific care experience. “There are staff to look after the elderly,” project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle. “We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life, who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents.”More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week, and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media. “Great project, hopefully it will spread to other areas,”writes one person on Facebook, while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together.But some wish it was open to more people, with one user saying, “It's a shame the flats are so small. It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their nei ghbour.” And one person has a different opinion about the cut­off age, writing, “Shame_I'm_too_old_for_this—I_would_have_surely_applied.”5.

But the 17-year-old achieved a surprising clean sweep—he was accepted to every Ivy League (常春藤) school.“I am so lucky,” Rojas told The Orange County Register on Saturday. “When I got all eight, it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose. I was excited and scared and everything at the same time.”The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks calls, emails and letters followed from the other seven universities. Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas, 59, and wife, Maria, 56, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s.A national speech and debate champion, Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas' speech and debate coach at Fullerton, told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives (茁壮成长) on competition. “His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something,”Tinajero said.After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64 000 a year with room and board. He is responsible for $6 000; Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August. He's considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.9. What do we know about Fernando Rojas from Paragraph 1?A.

Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for all his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsyl v ania Gazette in 1729. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked to improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and his work on electricity, including the “kite experiment” which confirmed the nature of lightning, made him famous throughout the world.Franklin earned the title of the “First American” for his efforts tounite the 13 American states, and to win their-independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania. He is also famous today for his wise sayings, including “a penny saved is a penny earned” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.1. What is the article mainly about?A.

King Willem­Alexander of the Netherlands said, “The country has lost a unique and brilliant sportsman.” Gary Lineker in Barcelona club added, “Football has lost a man who did more to make the beautiful game more beautiful than anyone in history.”Holland's friendly match against France on Friday will stop after 14 minutes for a minute-long silence in honor of Cruyff, who wore No. 14 as a player.Johan Cruyff was born in April in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Growing up near the stadium of AFC Ajax, the local soccer club, the youngster caught the attention of a team official and joined the youth division at age 10. His mother also began working for the club two years later, after her husband died of a heart attack.Cruyff scored 293 goals in 521 appearances for five different clubs. With his precise speed, technique and goal-scoring ability, Cruyff set new standards as a player.He eventually coached the Catalan club to a first European Cup champion in 1992. Besides, Barcelona won four continuous La Liga titles from 1991 to 1994 under Cruyff, who remained influential at the club even after he abdicated his post in 1995.Although Johan Cruyff gave up smoking after his heart surgery, Cruyff was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died peacefully in Barcelona aged 68. His unique and profound views for football and life still inspire whoever loves football, “Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardes t thing there.”“I don't believe in God.

She liked nothing better than exploring the banks of the Missouri River, where she climbed trees and hunted rats with her rifle (步枪). She also built her own “roller coaster”.After Earhart paid a pilot $1 to take her up for a short flight in his plane, aviation (飞行) became her love and career.As the American flying pioneer later explained, “Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do.”Earhart soon found a teacher and started to learn to fly. She took all sorts of jobs to pay for the lessons and eventually bought a second-hand plane on her 24th birthday.In 1932, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic. She became the first woman to make the solo crossing. She also made a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. “Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done—sometimes what men have not done—thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action,”she said.When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge—to be the first woman to fly around the world. However, in mid-flight, she and her navigator (领航员) disappeared in bad weather.Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer among aviators and women.9. How was Earhart's childhood?A. She was quite different from other girls.B. She was just like a typical girl.C. She was quiet and often stayed at home.D. She liked to play alone.10. How did Earhart pay for the flying lessons?A. Her parents supplied the money to her.B. A pilot supplied the money to her.C. She paid with the money she earned in different jobs.D. She paid with the money she made by teaching others to fly.11. From the text we know that Earhart was ________.A. brave but too carelessB. careful but lonelyC. creative and beautifulD. creative and adventurous12. The end of the story told us that Earhart died when she ________.A. crossed the AtlanticB. flew aloneC. was trying flying in bad weatherD. flew around the world饮食与健康A(2017·南昌二模)Next time you are blamed for bad behavior, mainly blame it on the whole apple, pear or any other uncut food that your parents packed in your lunch 's because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids! At least that's the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp.The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups. On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone. The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bite-size pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork. The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9-foot radius.The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating theirfood with forks. Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior. If that isn't bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!This has made , who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons,kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with , he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!1.What probably results in kids' bad behavior?A.The way kids bite into food. B.The way food is cooked.C.The unhealthy food kids eat. D.Their attitude toward the food.2.Paragraph 2 mainly shows__________.A.the result of the research B.the time on the researchC.the way the research went on D.the difficulties the research faced3.What can we learn about the students at the summer camp?A.They enjoyed the food there very much.B.They exhibited different levels of rude behavior.C.They were asked to bite the food with care.D.They were likely to behave badly frequently.4.What does Mr. Wansink advise parents to do?A.To eat with their kids often.B.To teach their kids how to eat food.C.To serve their kids with small pieces of food.D.To show their kids good behavior often.B(2017·潍坊模拟)What did you eat for lunch today? Did you choose this dish because it was healthy, cheap or because it was just very tasty? Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?I love exploring trends in food. “Fusion cuisine” is not for everybody. My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century. Chef and food writerChing-He Huang, who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC, is a fan of the movement. She says,“Fusion has been happening for centuries, for as long as people have travelled, but with the Internet, and global travel, the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster.”Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made “fusion” elegant. He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs. He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter.“I believe authenticity is about evolution, not repeating your grandmother's recipe,”he explains. “Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours—it's how you combine them that sets you apart.”My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement. Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong, it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally. Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.All these trends give us food for thought. We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks. Tomorrow, why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast? You dress trendy so eat trendy!5. Fusion cuisine is ________.A. a BBC cooking programmeB. a balanced diet rich in nutritionC. a new trend of global travellingD. a combination of different cooking styles6. What do we learn about Wolfgang Puck?A. He knew little about Asian cuisine.B. He owed his success to his love for painting.C. He was well received by Europeans.D. He was in favor of creation in cooking.7. The Slow Food Movement ________.A. aims to keep alive local cuisineB. is favoured by old people。

专题(四) 词句猜词题猜测词义类A(2017·银川检测)Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co­operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reduc ing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn't take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly.“Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.1. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Complex Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society2. In Simard's opinion, trees ________.A. depend on each otherB. protect their own wealthC. compete for survivalD. provide support for dying trees3. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other treesB. Charles Darwin had the same thought as SimardC. people know much about the complex “tree societies”D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire fores t will be affected4. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. how trees grow oldB. how “tree societies” workC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees surviveB(2017·临沂二模)Whether it's joining a school club, going to a friend's birthdayparty, or travelling by train, we can meet new people anywhere and anytime in our lives. However, many of us feel awkward when meeting people for the first time, especially when we aren't quite sure what to say. The situation feels cold, even icy.“Breaking the ice” is a term widely used in the English­speaking countries to describe a small talk technique that can help rescue a conversation from certain failure.So where do you even begin? Well, a good start is to accept that it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous when talking to someone for the first time. They might look grumpy or scary, but they could turn out to be the nicest person you've ever met.You might think that breaking the ice is difficult. But sometimes just a simple “hello”,followed by a three­second smile, can make all the difference.Complimenting someone on their garment or accessories (饰品) is also a great, easy way to break the ice. You might say, “I love your jacket. Where did you buy it from?”Being in an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation with someone new might feel terrible, but it can actually be one of the best icebreakers. By focusing on the situation, you come together to fight the common enemy: The long bathroom queue, for example, or the overcrowded bus.You can make observations too. “What kind of drink is that?”“That's a lovely name. What does it mean?”“Do you study here too?” There are opportunities all around you to ask questions that don't seem weird, as long as you have some follow­up questions in mind.If you're feeling extra bold, make a joke. Jokes can be difficult to master but if you get them right, they show the likeable, witty side of your character. “What's your name?”“Well, people usually call me Mike, but you can call me tonight.”5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How to develop friendship with a strangerB. Advice on breaking the ice when we communicate with a strangerC. How to become a successful public speakerD. How to start a conversation with a person6. The underlined word “grumpy” can be replaced by “________”.A. easily annoyedB. gentleC. low­spiritedD. cheerful7. What can we learn from the passage?A.“Breaking the ice” is a small talk technique widely used in our daily communication all over the world.B. As long as you can smile at others, you will make some friends.C. Realizing that it's normal to feel nervous in front of a stranger is a good start to break the ice.D. Being in an uncomfortable situation with some strangers can be the best icebreakers.8. According to the passage, making a joke ________.A. can be done with easeB. leads to many new friendsC. can show your wisdom and lovely characterD. makes you enjoy your life happilyC(2017·湖北武汉武昌高三调研)Brooke Martin's golden retriever (金毛猎犬) Kayla hated being left alone or separated. She would howl, pace, and chew on things.Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets. She wondered:“What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?”Working wit h her father in their garage, the 16­year­old came up with several ideas. Finally, she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets! She calls the device iCPooch.“The dog doesn't have to answer the call,”explains Brooke. “It come s up immediately on the screen on their end. It's a two­way audio and video—you can see and hear each other.”With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle school students. These finalists, selected based on their short video presentations, are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St. Paul,Minn.After Martin's video put her among the 10 finalists in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, she was paired with Delony Langer­Anderson, a product development scientist in 3M's consumer health care division.“I just lead her down the product development path,” Langer­Anderson told LiveScience. This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product, which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog's end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate.“One thing I have thought about a lot is, what happens if while the device is on the floor, what if your dog knocks it over, or scratches the screen?” Martin said. She and Langer­Anderson discussed this, and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floors to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.The finalists create models they can test, with the guidance from a mentor. Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not tex ting or calling. Langer­Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method, testing their hypothesis, ina determined way. “So the kids don't get buried in data,” she said.9. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. “iCPooch” wins in a young scientist competitionB. A 16­year­old girl invents a device for dogs' hungerC. A man­made device lets people chat with their petsD. A kid­invented device calms dogs' separation anxiety10. “iCPooch” calms pet dogs by ________.A. allowing video chatB. making dogs sleepC. answering the callD. giving them food11. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “mentors”?A. competitorsB. assistantsC. instructorsD. companions12. What do the inventions of the finalists have in common?A. They are all new inventions dealing with pets.B. They are possible solutions to everyday problems.C. They cope with the problems related to computers.D. They are all accomplished through individual work.D(2017·东北三省四市教研联合体高考模拟)Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That's when I got an e­mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you stillwant one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it is best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.13. Why did Jack come to our home?A. I cared for an eyeless cat.B. I didn't mind whether he was blind.C. No other young cats kept him company.D. My friend begged me to take him home.14. Which of the following statements is true?A.

Advertisements for student credit cards are everywhere: in bags at the bookstore, in the campus newspaper, in your regular mailbox, in the residence halls.With so many college students graduating with large amounts of credit card debt (figures vary, but most are at least in the thousands), learning how to manage a student credit card can be an important lesson for any student. While using a card wisely can be an important part of building credit and making it through a difficult time, knowing how to use a card wisely can be the hard part.Stick to the following rules when, and if, you need to use a credit card:•You can repay the charges within the card's next billing cycle.•You must meet your basic needs, like food, clothing and shelter, but set r ules and be aware that you will need to repay those charges at the end of the month.•You can talk to the financial aid office in your school for an alternative in“emergency” situations.If you do want a credit card, just be smart about it.(They let you into that school because of your brain, right?) Don't automatically get the first one you find. Shop around for a card that has the lowest interest rate possible, and consider places that may not be advertising on campus. Additionally, be aware of any card's repayment options: When will payments be due? How much will they be? A credit card is not like a loan that comes with a grace period(宽限期) after you graduate and waits until you are done with school. That new sweater and nice dinner out will need to be paid back right away.1. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Be confused by.B. Be terribly hurt by.C. Be attracted by.D. Be surrounded by.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A college freshman should be careful when choosing a credit card.B. Students should take a lesson about how to use a credit card wisely.C. A credit card will be the only help for students in emergency situations.D.

Dos and Don'ts in Using Student Credit CardsC. Mistakes about Student Credit Cards Use in CollegeD. Student Credit Cards—What You Need to Know4. If this is a passage of a college newspaper, in which column can we read it?A. Entertainment.B. Advertisement.C. Economy.D. Education.B(2017·淄博高三诊断)Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation, but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. It can even help you achieve your desired goals.Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do. Researchers are finding daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of relaxation. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. In an experiment with school children, the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self­control and creative abilities.But that's only part of the_story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future”. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these famous achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.Of course daydreaming is no substitute (代替者) for hard work. You have to work hard to develop skills. Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire.But in combination with the more usual methods of self­development, it might makea critical difference. And who knows: You might see your own daydreams come true.5. From the scientific research, a few minutes' daydreaming will ________.A. relieve stress effectivelyB. improve gradesC. escape from real life and dutiesD. gain a positive attitudes towards exams6. According to Dr. Joan T. Freyberg, daydreaming can ________.A. reduce failure in examinationsB. help rapid and continuous physical growthC. improve self­control and creative abilitiesD. benefit improvement of concentration7. What does “the_story” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The attention.B. The conclusion.C. The contribution.D. The concentration.8. Nightingale and Edison are examples to explain that daydreaming probably ________.A. earns a good reputationB. takes the place of hard workC. pictures future professionD. turns the desire into realityCMany good students, despite having studied, didn't do as well as they had hoped in their final exams. Here are some common reasons:Often, the length of the exam is a problem. According to Pulizter prize­winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman, mental effort is surprisingly exhausting. Thinking hard and staying focused burns up lots of mental energy.In Thinking Fast and Slow, Kahneman explains that we have a finite capacity(容量) for mental effort, and our brains will become exhausted if forced to think hard for extended periods. It takes a great deal of mental energy to keep several ideas that require separate actions in one's mind at the same time, Switching tasks also takes a lot of effort, especially under time pressure.To save mental energy, our brains can become “lazy”. The human mind automatically searches for the simplest answer to a question, often exchanging the actual question for an easier one without knowing it. This tendency causes many a student to fail to follow directions or complete multi­step problems.“Mental blindness” also contributes to students' inability to notice details. There are strict limits to how much data our attention can handle (the maximum seems to be 128 bits of information per second), so when we are applying a lot of attention to one task, we become blind to everything else.Fortunately, as people acquire more knowledge and skills, cognitive (认知的) tasks require less mental effort. Students need to try to know materials thoroughly, which means studying over time, to slow down, and to reread directions and check their work because they may have been “mentally blind” when they did it the first time.9.What does the un derlined word “finite” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Large.B. Limited.C. Spare.D. Decreasing.10. Why can our brains become “lazy”?A. To show that we're too lazy to use our brains.B. To let our brains stay clear to do exams well.C. To indicate we do not know the correct answers.D. To prevent our mental energy from breaking down.11.What can we know about “mental blindness”?A. It shows our attention can be easily drawn away.B. It refers to the data that our brains can deal with.C. It is caused by doing too many things at a time.D. It explains how our brains work under pressure.12.What plays an important role in doing well in an exam?A. Patience and intelligence.B. Putting in less mental effort.C. Working hard and being careful.D. The ability to simplify questions.D(2017·辽宁沈阳一模)It was a cold night in Washington, D.C. , and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: “Don't give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's?Before long my idea took_off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row Logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry.”It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America—and we're seventy million strong—plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.13. Why did the author turn down the beggar's request?A. He was previously reminded not to do so.B. He was eager to march back to the hotel.C. He thought that it was beyond his duty.D.He was short of money at that moment.14. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took off” (Paragraph 6)?A. We eventually took off at 11 o'clock and landed in Seattle safely.B. To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.C. On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.D. His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.15. What did the author do after the beggar's incident?A. He felt guilty but couldn't help him.B. He started a project to help the hungry.C. He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.D. He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.16. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Plant a Row for the HungryB. Lend a Hand to BeggarsC. Never Hesitate to Help OthersD. Plan a Gardening Project猜测句意类A(2017·河南六市第一次联考)Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.Beethoven's music teacher said about him, “As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless.” What if this young boy had believed it?When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, “I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.”What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, “I have an idiot (白痴) for a son.”His uncle agreed.“He's_uneducable,” he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “You can't sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, “It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts.”You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.1. How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?A. Six.B. Seven.C. Eight.D. Nine.2. Which of the following statements is RIGHT?A. When he was young, Thomas Edison always got good grades at school.B. Levant thought Louisa May Alcott couldn't write any popular works.C. Only Auguste Rodin's uncle regarded him a boy of learning ability.D. Both Enrico Caruso and Beethoven achieved their dreams in music.3. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence “He's uneducable”?A. He can't be taught.B. He is very clever.C. He is different.D. He is a late success.4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Working Hard for SuccessB. Having DreamsC. Believing in YourselfD. Self­challengingB(2017·河南六市第一次联考)Scientists have found we are more likely to die on our birthdays than any other day. Researchers who studied more than two million people over 40 years found a rise in deaths from heart attacks, strokes (中风), fallsand suicides on that day.William Shakespeare died on his birthday on April 23, 1616. The actress Ingrid Bergman also died on her birthday, in August, 1982. On average, people over the age of 60 were 14 percent more likely to die on their birthdays. Heart attacks rose 18.6 percent on birthdays and were higher for men than women while strokes were up 21.5 percent—mostly in women. Dr. Vladeta Ajdacic of the University of Zurich said, “Birthdays end in a dangerous way more frequently than might be expected.” He added that risk of birthday death rose as people got older.Canadian data also showed that strokes were more likely on birthdays, especially among patients with high blood pressure. There was a 34.9 percent rise in suicides, 28.5 percent rise in accidental deaths not related to cars, and a 44 percent rise in deaths from falls on birthdays. Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfords hire, said, “It seems to be a reliable finding. There are two cases—one is the case that suggests you eat too much and you are getting over excited and that causes you to die.” He said continuously, “The other is a placebo (安慰剂) effect. You_are_knife­edged_on_death. And you kept yourself going until your birthday. You think ‘That's it. I've had enough. I'm out of here.’” Dr. Lewis Halsey of the University of Roehampton said, “One interesting finding is that more suicides happen on birthdays, though only in men. Perhaps men are more likely to make a statement about their unhappiness when they think people will be taking more notice of them. ”The study is published in the journal Annals of Epidemiology.5. Which of the following can properly be put at the beginning of Paragraph 1?A. Be happy on your birthday.B. Be ready to care for others.C. Be cautious about what you eat.D. Be careful when blowing out candles.6. Which of the following explanations for the birthday death is TRUE?A. More women tend to kill themselves on birthdays.B. Strokes rise on birthday in both men and women.C. Eating too much and getting much excitement make you die on birthday.D. Unhappiness gets you to be conscious of the importance of noticing others.7. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. You're soon dying.B. The knife is very dangerous.C. You've broken down.D. The edge of the knife is sharp.8. Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?A. A textbook.B. A storybook.C. A magazine.D.

Children’s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?It’s difficult to look back on one’s own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn’t time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today’s b oys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn’t dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood.The irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called "interactive". The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.1.What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?A. To get people’s attention and lead in the topic.B. To gather people’s opinions on childhood.C. To show who the passage is written for.D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.2.Which is NOT a reason for the changes?A. Families are smaller today.B. Parents worried too much about their children.C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.D. It’s too dangerous to play outside.3.What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?A. Young people today shouldn’t play electronic games.B. Some games that young people play today aren’t really good.C. Computer and video games have replaced the board games.D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.4.The writer’s attitude towards the childhood changing is ________ .A. approvingB. unconcernedC. objectiveD. optimisticIII.语法填空In 1863the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible 1 (crowd) on the roads aboveas they travelled to and 2 work. It took three years to complete and was built using an interesting method. This included digging up the road, 3 (lay) the track and then buildinga strong roof over 4 top. When all those had been done, the road surface was replaced.Steam engines 5 (use) to pull the carriages and it must have been 6(fair)unpleasant for the passengers, with all the smoke and noise. However, the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using 7 every day.Later, engineers 8 (manage) to construct railways in a system of deep tunnels (隧道), which became known to the tube. This development was only possible with the 9 (introduce)of electric-powered engines and lifts. The central London Railway was one of the most 10 (success) of these new lines, and was opened in 1900. It had white-painted tunnels and bright red carriages, and proved extremely popular with the public.IV.书面表达假设你是李华,你的美国笔友Tom来中国后参加了他所在学校的汉语学习小组,但是由于感觉学习汉语很困难,他打算退出。
