My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”

2019届高考英语二轮复习考点解析卷:(二)含答案解析

2019届高考英语二轮复习考点解析卷:(二)含答案解析

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷(二)The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers,maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star, your No. 1 summer sports camp for kids!

A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. So next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、 In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________ Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life.Write Every Day. It is important that all writers write every day. ②__________You should remove all distractions so that you can be focused during this time.

There are thousands of poetry contests conducted every year.Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesn't correct them too often or because other students can 1 them.Pronunciation is the area which is 2 the least attention to in language learning. Most teachers 3 just let their students speak and stop them 4 they say something completely wrong. Working on each student's pronunciation in class is just 5 . Also, the students who are 6 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help 7 their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to 8 because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be 9 when you actually go to a foreign country.

Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?Founded in 2012, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day.iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven’t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn’t dying.There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books.The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, “iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in深圳市2019年高三年级第二次调研考试英语试题第3页(共8页)just 15 minutes.”24.What does the author suggest people do in the unoccupied time?A.Read and think.B.Write and share.C.Avoid taking buses.D.Bring joy to daily routines.25.What can we infer from the PRC findings?A.The British benefit a lot from reading.B.Reading methods are more important than before.C.Digital technology are taking the place of paper books.D.New forms of books are changing the way the British read.26.How does iReader make the content easy to remember?A.By bringing fun to it.B.By making it useful.C.By using artistic designs.D.By taking users as examples.27.What is the best title for the text?A.iReader Prevents Reading from DyingB.iReader Unites Worldwide Book-loversC.iReader: The Best New App CreationD.iReader: Big Ideas in Small PackagesCI visited Elba last June, joining Mary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.深圳市2019年高三年级第二次调研考试英语试题第4页(共8页)Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王权) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother,Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasn’t troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conqueror’s anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green mountains of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.28. What did the author do for the visit to Elba?A. He did research on its past.B. He arranged transportation.C. He planned bicycling routes.D. He booked accommodation.29. Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?A. Napoleon and his army.B. Etruscans and other Greeks.C. Dorians.D. Romans.30. What does the underlined word “ensconced” probably mean?A. Settled.B. Locked.C. Cured.D. Controlled.深圳市2019年高三年级第二次调研考试英语试题第5页(共8页)31. What came to the author’s mind during his v isit to Napoleon’s gardens?A. Beautiful views on Elba.B. Terrible living conditions on Elba.C. Napoleon’s ambition to regain power.D. Hardship of Napoleon’s return to France.DAn international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world’s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think there’s a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they’re not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people’s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature.”Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “B y using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”32.What have researchers found about species searches?深圳市2019年高三年级第二次调研考试英语试题第6页(共8页)A.They strengthen ties among people.B.They affect the animal movements.C.They differ in language backgrounds.D.They reflect animal migration seasons.33. What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?A. To summarize the research process.B. To further support the research findings.C. To show the variety of species searches.D. To present researchers’ heavy work load.34. How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?A. S atisfied with Wikipedia’s service.B. Worried about Wikipedia behavior.C. Amazed at people’s care about nature.D. Sad about people’s not getting close to nature.35. Why does Richard think such search data is useful?A. It helps to aim at conservation targets.B. It increases interest in big data approaches.C. It keeps track of trends in biologists’ work.D. It pushes people to solve difficult problems.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。

2019届高考英语二轮复习考点讲解学案之:话题二十三 环境保护(A) Word版含解析

话题二十三环境保护(A)A[2018·浙江6月·B]Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds,_plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.体裁:议论文题材:环境保护主题:塑料袋和可重复使用纸袋【文章大意】该文是一篇议论文,主要讲述了塑料袋和可重复使用纸袋的情况。

At an early age, he left school and supported himself through a succession of un skilled jobs ----working as a paper boy, in bowling alleys, on ice wagons, and in canneries(罐头食品厂)and mills. Despite working long hours at these jobs, London was able to read constantly, borrowing travel and adventure books from the library.Once back in California, London became determined to earn a living as a writer. He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.According to legend, London’s piles of rejection slips from publishers grew to five feet in height! ell on the way of creating a new model for spreading through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world.

All of above.DIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. Th e children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned(分派)173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents usedstickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.16.The purpose of writing the passage is .A.to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB.to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC.to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD.to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents17.The underlined word “backfire”in Paragraph 2 probably means “”. A.shoot from behind the back B.make a lire in the hackyardC.produce an unexpected result D.achieve what was planned18.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B.It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables. C.Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D.Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.19.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?B.By asking questions.C.By giving examples, D.By discussion.20.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B.Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C.Children are difficult to inspire.D.Parents should give up verbal praise.1234568 9 10 C C D C A D B C D C111213141516171920 D A C B D A C B A B。

Fortunately, The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has done all of the work for you in finding healthy and pesticide-free produce.EWG has created the 2018 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which h elps shoppers to find uncontaminated produce. Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues (残留) are very common on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this, EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to safer food choices.In order to create these guides, EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests, which found a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this information, EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.T he guide’s two main components are two compiled lists highlighting the cleanest and dirtiest produce concerning pesticides. These two lists, Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, show consumers how certain foods continue to carry trace amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves, while others make it to your kitchen virtually pesticide-free.Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings:• More than one-third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products.• Spinach(菠菜)samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop.• No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pes ticides.“With EWG’s guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn’t contaminated with multiple pesticide residue,” said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst in EWG.Only 25 years ago, the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous pesticides in our food, yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America.4.Why did EWG create the 2018 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce?A.To analyze the USDA pesticides tests. B.To advertise organic produce.C.To warn some food companies. D.To help consumers make safer choices. 5.What is the result from the analysis of the USDA pesticides tests?A.All the samples are polluted. B.230 pesticides are banned.C.Pesticide amounts vary in products. D.All strawberries are poisonous.6.Where are shoppers most likely to find spinach?A.Dirty Dozen list. B.Organic food advertisement.C.Clean Fifteen list. D.healthier food list.7.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.All conventional produce is safe. B.No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago.C.consumers never worry about pesticides. D.Produce safety remains a problem.DScientists have discover ed why the Mona Lisa’s expression looks so different to different people and at different times.For centuries, art lovers and critics have been confused by and debated the Leonardo Da Vinci painting’s gaze and slight smile.But new research from the University of California, San Francisco has shed new light on the shining and seemingly changing face of the Mona Lisa.Through experiments, they discovered that our emotions really do change how we see a neutral (中性的)face.Dr Erika Siegel and her colleagues study how our emotions change our perceptions(感知)of the world around us-even when we aren’t aware that something has changed our feelings.This relies on the modern theory of ‘the brain as a predictive organ, instead of a reactive one, ’ says Dr Siegel.In o ther words, ‘we have a lifetime of experience and we use those experiences to predict what we are going to experience next.’We all have one dominant(支配的)eye and one more passive non-dominant one. If each eye is receiving different information, we only consciously perceive what dominant one sees. But non-dominant sights can still enter our subconscious.They showed 43 people two sets of flashing images at the same time, so that the dominant eye saw and registered neutral expressions, while the non-dominant eye ‘saw’ flashes of neutral, or smiling faces, which they would only subconsciously be aware of.After viewing the flashing faces, the researchers showed the participants options of faces and asked them to pick out which ones they had seen.When their non-dominant eyes had seen a happy face, they were more likely to think the neutral face had actually been smiling, and the same was true for other expressions.This means that ‘if you see the Mona Lisa after you have just had a screaming fight with your husb and, you’re going to see the painting differently,’ says Dr Siegel.‘But if you’re having the time of your life at the Louvre, you’re going to see the mysterious smile,’ she adds.‘We are the architects of our own experience. Our brain makes predictions ab out what it expects to see and uses information from the world to update its expectations,’ Dr Siegel says.8.What is the purpose of Dr Erika Siegel’s research?A.To win a debate.B.To help appreciate the Mona Lisa.C.To tell a smiling face from a neutral face.D.To discover why people perceive the same thing differently.9.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “shed new light” in Paragraph 3?A.Made something bright. B.Provided new explanations.C.Added light-colored paints. D.Increased amount of natural light. 10.Why did the researchers show the participants two sets of flashing images?A.To play a game.B.To confuse their dominant and non-dominant eyes.C.To strengthen the effect of the non-dominant eyes.D.To provide images of more expressions.DDear Rudyard Kipling,Father has consistently tried to instill(灌输) a sense of being a man in me ever since I was very young. When I reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. He told me this tough jobwould build me into a man of character. But this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem, If.My mother was the person who could understand me. If I ever got tired during my work hours at the shop I could call her to come and pick me up. It was my mother who instilled the love of literature and languages in me. My mother spoke six languages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the attic of our house. It was in this “library” of hers that I picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf and found your poem, If.Because of the death of my mother I felt alone, as if I belonged to no family. The image of a man was completely shattered when I saw him break down and cry, which looked so pathetic(凄惨的)and “unmanly” compared to his usual stoic(禁欲主义者)and emotionless countenance. Yet I remained silent remembering the golden words: “If you can keep your head when all about you/ Are losing theirs and blaming it on you… you’ll be a Man, my son!”If reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because I wanted t o be a man and wanted to be the one supporting my family. I sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter sport so that I could stay home and cook for my family and clean the house. My father saw this and our relationship has grown much stronger. He finally respected me for who I was and told me he was proud to have a man for his son. Through this poem, I realize that to be a man is not about putting weights on a barbell(杠铃)but rather putting the weight of others on your back.Your poem was so much more than just a simple list of guidelines or morals that some see it as; it really changed my life and my relationship with my dad.11.According to the passage, what kind of person does the author’s father expect him to be?A.A person who will shoulder responsibilities.B.A person who knows how to earn a lot of money.C.A person who knows how to do housework.D.A person who respects his parents.12.Who does the underlined word “him” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.the character in the poem B.the author’s fatherC.the author D.an unknown person13.According to the passage, a man in the author’s mind would have the following qualities EXCEPT _________.A.responsible B.enthusiastic C.caring D.calm14.We can learn from the passage that ___________.A.the author’s mother had told him about this poem beforeB.the author would not know how to help his family without the poemC.the author’s father must have read the poem as wellD.the poem has helped to improve the relationship between the author and his father15.The author has written this letter to ___________.A.share his opinion on the poemB.tell Rudyard Kipling how he got the poemC.share with Rudyard Kipling his sadness resulting from the death of his motherD.show his appreciation for the positive influence the poem has brought to him第二节篇章填空(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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

They made the arrangementsfor the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王权 ) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasn’ ttroubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled流(放的) conqueror’s anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green mountains of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.28.What did the author do for the visit to Elba?A.He did research on its past.B.He arranged transportation.C.He planned bicycling routes.D.He booked accommodation.29.Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?A. Napoleon and his army.B. Etruscans and other Greeks.C. Dorians.D. Romans.330.What does the underlined word ensconced“” probably mean?A. Settled.B. Locked.C. Cured.D. Controlled.31.What came to the author ’ s mindhisduringvisitto Napoleon’ s gardens?A. Beautiful views on Elba.B. Terrible living conditions on Elba.C. Napoleon’ s ambition to regain power.D. Hardship of Napoleon’s return to France.DAn international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people usethe Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches followthe patterns of seasonal animal migrations(迁徙 ).Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior“.In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,”said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia searchrecords, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects,horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior formany species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world ’ s biological diversity. It als shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might bethe most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think there’s a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者 ) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they’re not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for meto see people’s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature”.Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “B yusing these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help”.32.What have researchers found about species searches?A.They strengthen ties among people.B.They affect the animal movements.C.They differ in language backgrounds.D.They reflect animal migration seasons.33.What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?A.To summarize the research process.B.To further support the research findings.C.To show the variety of species searches.D.To present researchers heavy’ work load.434. How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?A. Satisfied with Wikipedia ’ s. serviceB. Worried about Wikipedia behavior.C. Amazed at people’s care about nature.D. Sad about people’s not getting close to nature.35.Why does Richard think such search data is useful?A.It helps to aim at conservation targets.B.It increases interest in big data approaches.C. It keeps track of trends in biologists . ’ workD. It pushes people to solve difficult problems.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。

阅读理解。

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。

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that y ou need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas: 1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating(孤立的)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers?I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making amove to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.1. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A. You may ignore your skills when you select job.B. Job skills are the most important things when you select job.C. There are more important things than job skills when you select job.D. Selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.3. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. DesignB. ChangesC. CooperationD. Hobbies4. What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and Jobs参考答案1—4、CDCD【阅读理解】人物故事类阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Finally, Ientered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at acommunity(社区)college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus(校园)admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that Ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.1. Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?A. In a restaurant.B. In the tennis camps.C. In a company.D. In the admissions office.2. The writer took a class at a community college mainly because_____.A. she wanted to save moneyB. life there was relatively easyC. summer time was tiringD. it was required by the university3. The writer’s major concern about the trip to Israel was that_____.A. her mother would not give her approvalB. she would fail to get credits in IsraelC. a well-paid summer job would be lostD. $1,600 couldn’t be drawn out in time4. The passage is mainly about how the writer _____.A. made money on the college campusB. managed to make full use of her vacationC. was forced to support herself by her motherD. was shaped by working part-time through college【参考答案】1—4、AACD阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
