A resolution is a firm decision to do something. The most popular New Year's resolutions are losing weight, saving money, getting fit, and stopping smoking. About 45% of Americans make one or more resolutions every year. However, only 8% of people actually succeed.There are several ways to help your chances of achieving your resolution. The first way is to be realistic(现实的). Setting small goals is much better than trying to make big life changes. 35% of New Year's resolutions fail because of this. If you were planning to get in shape, for example, you will have a better chance if you start with a little exercise each day. People who try to run 5 kilometres each morning from January 1st will likely give up soon.Another tip is to plan out how to achieve your resolution. If you want to lose weight, for example, decide what kind of food you will stop eating and how often you will exercise. Making a detailed list will help you. Once you have made your plan, stick to it! It is important toalways follow your plan.Another way to make sure your resolution succeeds is to track(跟踪) your progress. If your plan is to lose weight, write down how much weight you lose each week. Make a chart of your weight loss and put it somewhere you can see it. This will help you to keep making an effort. Almost 33% of people who fail their New Year's resolutions do so because they didn't track their progress.1.Which is TRUE about New Year's resolutions?( )A.No one makes them and few succeed.B.Many people make them but few succeed.C.Many people make them and most succeed.D.Everyone makes them and everyone succeeds.2.Which of the following might be an example of a realistic(现实的) goal?( )A.To lose 50 kilograms in a month.B.To jog 20 kilometres every day.C.To stop eating food for a week.D.To slowly stop eating snack food.3.The underlined word “stick” in Paragraph 3 could best be replaced with .( )A.keepB.goC.talkD.change4.According to the article, making a chart is important because . ( )A.it will help you to stop workingB.it will help you show your friendsC.it will help you make an effortD.it will help you fail your resolutionPassage 2We confirmed that Jim was locked in the hut.

We ran to the river and jumped into the canoe. We lay down, out of breath.“Jim! You're a free man!” I said. We were all happy and Tom was the happiest.“It was a great adventure,” Tom said. “And look!

Now, a 19-year-old teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy from your own body to charge your phone.Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a phone immediately.He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average speed of the gyroscope is about 5,000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone.”Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wilds. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in the Hand Energy.The invention took Vaga a year to develop. Now, the inventor from Minsk, Belarus, is ready to put it into production and send out the creative convenient chargers. Its price is 99 euros (84pounds).1.If we want to produce energy with the charger, we should . ( )A.shake our handsB.move quicklyC.go to the wildD.charge our phones2.Who will be interested in the invention most?( )A.The teachers.B.The medical workers.C.The drivers.D.The field workers.3.It is not clear whether or not, according to the passage. ( )A.the more you shake, the more power it producesB.the charger helps to protect the environmentC.we can buy the charger online in ChinaD.its price is 84 pounds4.Which could be the best title of the passage?( )A.A wonderful inventionB.A great inventorC.An interesting storyD.An exciting tripPassage 2Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but y esterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then hewent home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's hearts beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming…1.What is this story probably taken from? ( )A.A history book.B.A travel book.C.A novel.D.A science book.2.Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road?

He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, “I have nothing left, so I don't want to live.” The wise man smiled sympathetically(同情地).The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.The wise man asked, “When did your family leave you?”“What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!”“That's great!”said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven't left. Now, do you have freedom(自由)?”“. Of course I do!”“Good!That's the second one on the right side—You have freedom!”said the wise man, writing it down.After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled.“Things will change when you think of them in a different way!” he said.As a matter of fact, change your attitude and you will change your world. It's necessary to have a positive (积极的) attitude to life.1.Why did Peter ask a wise man for help? ()A.Because he found there was nothing to live for.B.Because he thought he had nothing in the world.C.Because the wise man would give him something.D.Because it was difficult for him to become rich.2.Which of the following is important to a person according to the wise man?

()A.A wise man can't help you.B.Solve problems by writing them down.C.Look at the bright side of life.D.Change the world when life is hard.Passage 2Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”These are certainly words that the millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, which recognizes and thanks volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to causes they care about.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it. People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal shelter to help improve the treatment and well-being of animals.For students, valuable lessons may also be learned by volunteering.Take Andrew Makhoul as an example. Makhoul didn't spend the 2012 spring break partying. Unlike his classmates, who planned on relaxing after a long time of hard work, the 19-year-old decided to do something for people who were less fortunate than himself.He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. The orphanage is in one of the poorest parts of the country, and depends on volunteers to stay open. Makhoul doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem: “You communicated with love,”according to an article on his university website. And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope.US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.”And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.1.What is the use of Churchill's words? ()A.To show his strong idea.B.To start with an opinion.C.To make readers consider.D.To force readers to agree.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ()A.More Americans volunteer in May than any other month.B.Sometimes volunteers get some pay because of their work.C.Students can learn something valuable through volunteering.D.Makhoul found it difficult to communicate in the orphanage.3.What did Makhoul learn from his experience in volunteering? ()A.Nothing.B.Spanish.C.Love and hope.D.Culture.4.Which words best describes volunteers? ()A.Worthless.B.Priceless.C.Peaceful.D.Homeless.Ⅲ.[2019·广州改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

People who try to run 5 kilometres each morning from January 1st will likely give up soon.Another tip is to plan out how to achieve your resolution. If you want to lose weight, for example, decide what kind of food you will stop eating and how often you will exercise. Making a detailed list will help you. Once you have made your plan, stick to it! It is important to always followyour plan.Another way to make sure your resolution succeeds is to track(跟踪) your progress. If your plan is to lose weight, write down how much weight you lose each week. Make a chart of your weight loss and put it somewhere you can see it. This will help you to keep making an effort. Almost 33% of people who fail their New Year's resolutions do so because they didn't track their progress.1.Which is TRUE about New Year's resolutions? ( )A.No one makes them and few succeed.B.Many people make them but few succeed.C.Many people make them and most succeed.D.Everyone makes them and everyone succeeds.2.Which of the following might be an example of a realistic(现实的) goal? ( )A.To lose 50 kilograms in a month.B.To jog 20 kilometres every day.C.To stop eating food for a week.D.To slowly stop eating snack food.3.The underlined word “stick” in Paragraph 3 could best be replaced with .( )A.keepB.goC.talkD.change4.According to the article, making a chart is important because . ( )A.it will help you to stop workingB.it will help you show your friendsC.it will help you make an effortD.it will help you fail your resolutionPassage 2We confirmed that Jim was locked in the hut. We spent two nights digging a hole under the hut. We came up under Jim's bed. He was very surprised to see us. We promised Jim to free him when we were ready. Then we climbed through the hole back to our bedroom and talked about a plan.Tom wanted to make an adventure. He wrote a letter to Uncle Silas telling him somebody was planning to steal Jim. I put the letter under the front door. We waited for the chance to free Jim.The next night, some men were in Uncle Silas's sitting room-all with guns! We jumped out of the bedroom window and climbed into the hut. “Come on, Jim!” Tom whispered. “Huck, you go first.Then you, Jim. I'll go last.”We heard somebody shouting, “The thieves have stolen Jim!” We quickly climbed out and ran towards the fence.We kept running like our feet were on fire. We made it to the fence. I jumped over the fence and Jim followed me. Tom was right behind us. Unluckily, he caught his trousers on a nail. He pulled them free but the men heard the noise. They started shooting. We ran to the river and jumped into the canoe. We lay down, out of breath.“Jim! You're a free man!” I said. We were all happy and Tom was the happiest.“It was a great adventure,” Tom said. “And look! I got a bullet in my leg!”It was true. His leg was bleeding badly but he considered it as part of the adventure.-Taken from The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn1.How did Tom and Huck save Jim? ( )A.By writing a letter to him.B.By visiting him at his place.C.By digging a hole under the hut.D.By telling the other villagers.2.What does the underlined sentence mean? ( )A.They were running very fast.B.They were unable to run fast.C.Their feet hurt while running.D.They had to protect their feet.3.What made the men find the group of three? ( )A.The canoe they took in the river.B.The clothes that Jim was wearing.C.The bullet wound in Tom's leg.D.The noise caused by Tom's trousers.4.Why did Tom think it was an adventure?

A few minutes earlier I had been 1 when a scream(尖叫) woke me up. My grandma's bedroom was just next to mine and my brother's. A(n) 2 had broken out there and woke her up. Hearing her, my older brother had jumped into action, 3 from room to room quickly and waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood.4 we could do anything, the fire burnt it up. We all barely made it outside before the fire had taken hold of every room.I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys.

He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, “I have nothing left, so I don't want to live.” The wise man smiled sympathetically(同情地).The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.The wise man asked, “When did your family leave you?”“What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!”“That's great!” said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven't left. Now, do you have freedom(自由)?”“. Of course I do!”“Good! That's the second one on the right side—You have freedom!” said the wise man, writing it down.After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled.“Things will change when you think of them in a different way!” he said.As a matter of fact, change your attitude and you will change your world. It's necessary to have a positive (积极的) attitude to life.1.Why did Peter ask a wise man for help? ( )A.Because he found there was nothing to live for.B.Because he thought he had nothing in the world.C.Because the wise man would give him something.D.Because it was difficult for him to become rich.2.Which of the following is important to a person according to the wise man?

( )A.A wise man can't help you.B.Solve problems by writing them down.C.Look at the bright side of life.D.Change the world when life is hard.Passage 2Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that the millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, which recognizes and thanks volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to causes they care about.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it. People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal shelter to help improve the treatment and well-being of animals.For students, valuable lessons may also be learned by volunteering.Take Andrew Makhoul as an example. Makhoul didn't spend the 2012 spring break partying. Unlike his classmates, who planned on relaxing after a long time of hard work, the 19-year-old decided to do something for people who were less fortunate than himself.He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. The orphanage is in one of the poorest parts of the country, and depends on volunteers to stay open. Makhoul doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem: “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university website. And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope.US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.1.What is the use of Churchill's words? ( )A.To show his strong idea.B.To start with an opinion.C.To make readers consider.D.To force readers to agree.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.More Americans volunteer in May than any other month.B.Sometimes volunteers get some pay because of their work.C.Students can learn something valuable through volunteering.D.Makhoul found it difficult to communicate in the orphanage.3.What did Makhoul learn from his experience in volunteering? ( )A.Nothing.B.Spanish.C.Love and hope.D.Culture.4.Which words best describes volunteers? ( )A.Worthless.B.Priceless.C.Peaceful.D.Homeless.Ⅲ.[2019·广州改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

He was born deaf. Although people liked him a lot, they also treated him much more differently than other people. The other children worried that they might hurt him while playing together. Adults acted like he was unable to understand them, as if he was a baby.However, this year, people got to understand Reggie a little better. On Reggie's birthday, everyone in town would wear earplugs(耳塞) so that they couldn't hear anything either. This day came to be known as the Day of Silence. People came to know how difficult life could be when you can't hear anything. They also learned that Reggie had some amazing skills.On that day, no one thought of Reggie as just a deaf person. People saw a whole new side of him. They paid more attention to the things he said. They were also surprised by his intelligence(智力), creativity(创造力), and his ability to find a solution(解决办法) to nearly any problem or challenge that he faced. They realised that he had always been like that, and that he simply needed to communicate with others in a different way. In the end, he was really just like any other littleOn the Day of Silence, people came to know Reggie's true nature. They learned that although most of us are different from each other—sometimes in big ways—we are still mostly the same in our hearts and minds.1.Paragraph 1 wants to tell us . ( )A.Reggie was an ordinary child in everyone's eyesB.no one seemed to care about Reggie in his home townC.Reggie couldn't understand anyone in his home townD.Reggie's life was difficult though people cared a lot2.What did people do on the Day of Silence for Reggie?

( )A.The start of the Day of Silence.B.Reggie's life as a deaf boy.C.Difficulties Reggie faced in life.D.People's kindness in heart.Passage 2We are all encouraged to work hard and succeed in life. But failure is still a common part of everyone's lives. Perhaps you are afraid of failure, or even think it's shameful to fail. If you visit the Museum of Failure in Shanghai, you might change your mind. Samuel West, a Swedish psychologist(心理学家), founded the museum. The museum displays(展示) more than 100 failed products. Some of them were made by the most famous and successful companies in the world.For example, in 1993, Apple released the Newton Message Pad which could be used to take electronicCoca-cola once developed a coffee-flavored soda (苏打水) in 2006. The company wanted to catch up with people's growing love for coffee, but the product was taken off the market in 2008.West said the failed products are not displayed (展示) to these companies. He thinks success stories are all similar. He is tired of reading and hearing the same boring stories. As German-American physicist Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”This idea has been welcomed by many big companies. Silicon Valley, for example, is home to some of the world's most innovative(创新的) tech companies. A common slogan(口号) there is, “Fail fast, fail often.”There are reasons for this.“The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace(拥抱) out-of-the-box thinking, and allow employees to make mistakes and see what happens,” Simon Casuto wrote for Forbes.It seems that failure isn't always a bad thing. The key is whether or not you can learn from your mistakes.1.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.The Museum of Failures are all over the world.B.Einstein never made a mistake in his lifetime.C.Apple's Newton Message Pad worked well.D.The best companies may encourage failures.2.Which expression can best fit in the “”?( )A.keep in touch withB.get on well withC.make fun ofD.catch up with3.What can we learn from the passage? ( )A.Mistakes have nothing to do with success.B.Failure is sometimes a kind of good thing.C.Famous companies never make mistakes.D.Museum of Failure will close down soon.4.How does the writer develop his writing?

In a book about himself, Arthur says, “In my early childhood, as far as I can remember anything at all, the interesting stories she told me stand out so 5 that they hide the real facts of my life.” At the age of 9, Arthur was sent to a boarding(寄宿制) school in England for seven years.

They were police officers who knew that there was a pirate ship in the bay. I told them my story.Later I went back to the inn with one of the officers. Everything was broken, and the captain's money and some silver from the inn was missing.“They took the money,” said the officer. “But what did they really want?”“I think they wanted these papers in my pocket,” I answered. “I want to take them to Dr Liversey.”“Good idea,” he answered. “Dr Liversey is a gentleman and a magistrate(地方官). I will take y ou to him now, because I need to tell him what happened.”So I got up on the horse behind one of the officers and we rode to Dr Liversey's house.Dr Liversey was not at home. He was dining with Squire Trelawney, so we rode on to the Hall, where the squire lived. The two men were sitting in a great library next to a bright fire.The officer told the story. The two men listened with surprise and interest. The officer then left. I gave the papers to the doctor and they asked me to stay and eat something after my adventures.“Have you heard of Flint?” Dr Liversey asked the squire.“Yes, I have!” the squire replied. “He was one of the most dangerous pirates that ever sailed the seas. He only cared about money and everyone was afraid of him. No one knows where he buried his treasure.”“Maybe these papers give a clue,” said the doctor. And we opened the captain's papers. Inside there was a detailed map. It showed an island, about nine miles long and five across. It had two good natural harbours and a hill in the centre, marked Spy-glass Hill.

速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women.

But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden” period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru.

Two hundred kilometres from north to south; a hundred from east to west. Long dunes run north to south, long lines of sand, always changing, always moving in the wind.On its west side, Wahiba is a long wall of red sand, fifty or sixty metres high. It runs slowly down on to the empty desert, which is the centre of Oman. Hard, stony and flat as a table, this desert is the eastern side of the greatrub'al-khali, the Empty Quarter.In the east, the dunes of sand run down on to long, empty beaches. Crabs and seabirds live there by day, and green turtles often come out of the sea to lay their eggs by night. After the beaches, there is only the deep blue-green water of the Arabian Sea for fifteen hundred kilometres to Gujarat in northern India.The sands of Wahiba are empty and quiet. There is no sound. Nothing bigger than a lizard(蜥蜴) can live in the great sea of soft, red-gold sand; nothing bigger than marram grass(滨草) can grow there.You hear nothing but the blood in your ears, and the hot dry air going in and out of your mouth.To walk in the soft sand is difficult. It pulls your feet as you walk. Your legs soon hurt and you get tired very quickly. To move at all is hard work.And, of course, in the day the hot sun is always there. The air is hot; the sand is hot. There is nowhere you can go away from the sun, no tree as far as you can see.In the sky above the blue-green Indian Ocean, a small plane is coming from the east.

But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping﹣﹣﹣especially shopping in large centers﹣﹣﹣is a year﹣round activity．Shopping centers are good. They show Asia's surprising economic（经济的）growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air﹣conditioned center means comfort, choice, luxury（豪华）and better times．Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre﹣﹣﹣it's where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around．Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions（吸引）. Whole generations of Asians are growing to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be．My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote（促进）shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don't really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this cafe drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more﹣﹣﹣as everyone already knows．Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must have no one to blame（责怪）but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other's homes．Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think ofbuilding on it is yet another center. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks ﹣﹣﹣the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the center may have caused us to forget﹣﹣﹣in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume（消费）．（1）What is the writer's attitude towards shopping centers?A．He likes them very much．B. He doesn't like them at all．C, He likes them only a little．D. He doesn't like all of them．（2）Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries? ( )A．Because economy in the world develops very fast．B．Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world．C．Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round．D．Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone's life．（3）What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer? ( )A．They don't seem to make us happy．B．They lead us to buy more and more things．C．They force us to give up many other activities．D．They have us fall into endless competition with others．（4）Which of the following is not true? ( )A．It is very easy for us to find a shopping center in a big city．B．There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center．C．The government must be responsible for the writer's sadness．D．Besides shopping, there are many other activities we can enjoyPassage 2Mark was walking home from school one day．He saw the boy in the front drop all of the books he was carrying，with two sweaters，a basketball and a walkman．Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things．Since they were going the same way，he helped to carry some of his things．As they walked，Mark knew that the boy's name was Bill，that he loved computer games，basketball and history，and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend．They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television．The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk，then Mark went home．They often saw each other at school，had lunch together once or twice，and then they both finished middle school．They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years．At last just three weeks before they finished high school，Bill asked Mark if they could talk．Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met．"Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day? "asked Bill．"You see，I cleaned out my locker （锁柜）because I didn't want to leave anything for anyone else．I had put away some of my mother's sleeping pills （药片）and I was going home to kill myself．But after we spent some time together talking and laughing，I began to understand that if I killed myself，I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow．So you see，Mark，when you picked up those books that day，you did a lot more．You saved my life．"（1）．When Mark met him the first time，Bill was going( )．A．to have a basketball gameB．to his classroomC．to see MarkD．home（2）．From what Bill was carrying，we can know that he( )．A．was a good studentB．liked sports and musicC．liked all the subjects in schoolD．was a good friend（3）．Mark and Bill( )．A．were in the same middle school and high schoolB．were in the same middle school but not in the same high school C．often had lunch together at schoolD．had known each other before they began to study in middle school （4）．In this passage，the phrase"break up"means"( )"．A．相处很好B．和好如初C．关系破裂D．保持联系（5）．When Mark helped Bill to pick up some of his things，he( )．A．knew he could save Bill's lifeB．knew who Bill was and wanted to help himC．didn't know why he was going to help himD．didn't know what he was doing was very important to Bill．Passage 3South Korea is a country. It is next to China and Japan. People live there for many years. The country of South Korea started in 1948．Life is very difficult for many young people in South Korea. It's very important for people to go to a good school and find a good job. So studying is very，very important! Students usually get up at sixo'clock，have breakfast with their family，and then go to school. Schools in South Korea usually start at seven o'clock. After five hours of lessons in the morning，it's time for lunch. Most students have lunch at school. Then there are more lessons. School is over at sixo'clock. But that's not the end. Most young Koreans don't go home after school. They go to the library and study from about eight o'clock to eleven or twelve o'clock. When the libraries close，they go home in a bus. Most students don t go to bed before one o'clock in the morning. And after just four hours of sleep, it's time to get up again!There is a saying in South Korea：If you sleep four hours a night，you can go to great schools. If you sleep five hours a night，you can't. The students have to have difficult lives．（1）Why is life very difficult for the young students in South Korea? ( )A. Because they have to study for long hours．B. Because they have to go home very late．C. Because they can't go to a good school．D. Because they can't go to bed until（直到）ten o'clock at night．（2）How long do most students study a day in South Korea? ( )A. For about five hours．B. For about eight hours．C. For about nine hours．D. For over nine hours．（3）Where might（可能）a South Korean student be at ten o' clock in the evening? ( )A. At home．B.

速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women. He thinks they can't think in a logical(逻辑的) way.

But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers? ( )A.The 15th century.B.The 16th century.C.The 13th century.D.The 15th and 16th centuries.2.Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period? ( )A.Columbus sailed to America.B.Marco Polo travelled to China.C.Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.D.Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.3.Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico? ( )A.Pizarro.B.Cortez.C.Incas.D.Columbus.4.From the passage, we can know that . ( )A.Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countriesB.The period of the 15th and 16th centuries was the beginning of the European explorationC.European explorers occupied some American countries in a peaceful wayD.Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at allPassage 2 [2019·常州改编]Basketball can be fun, or it can be trouble. People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here.

I have learned how much a person working in the medical field can do for them.When I was in Mexico, I met a little girl. I was watching a tooth filling with Dr Sussi 2 I heard her laughter from across the room. I saw a little kid holding a toy and dancing and 3 with my friend Kevin. But her skin looked very 4 . While I was looking at her, Dr Sussi said, “Do you know her story?”I 5 my head.“The girl got 80 percent burns on her body when she was 3 years old. Her house was 6 . She was found to have third-degree burns and immediately sent to hospital. 7 , she was saved but her skin was…”I was shocked that she had gone through so much. I walked 8 and realised that all her body was covered with scars(伤疤). Her fingers and hair were 9 gone. To be honest, I was a little afraid to look at her. Her pure eyes made me feel that she was a(n) 10 girl. She probably didn't realise 11 she was different than others.Dr Sussi told me later that her mum took her to the clinic to play with us every weekend.

The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25, 2019.The movie was made from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley asks Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to concerts, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour. These problems lead them to forma special friendship.“There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic(评论家) Mick Lasalle at the San Francisco Chronicle.The time Lasalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws(《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation(种族隔离).These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after the sunset or they might go to jail(牢). Even the famous black people had to follow the laws.But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don't know about The Green Book.It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.1.What prize did the movie win at the 91st Academy Awards? ( )A.The Best Actor.B.The Best Music.C.The Best Story.D.The Best Picture.2.Jim Crow laws had influenced the African-Americans for . ( )A.only a few yearsB.about fifty yearsC.nearly a centuryD.over a hundred years3.Whose name might be found in The Green Book? ( )A.An Italian taxi driver.B.A white American doctor.C.A friendly black musician.D.A famous African soldier.4.What will many US people do after they watch the Green Book? ( )A.They will fight against the African-Americans.B.They will come to know The Green Book again.C.They may think it is a shame to see such a film.D.They might miss the time of Jim Crow laws a lot.Ⅲ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

I also like to wear dark clothes, especially black and grey hoodies(连帽运动衫). I prefer to sit in the corner and avoid talking to other people. Is this a good or bad thing?Bella Dear Bella,None of these things are really bad. They might even be good qualities.Dark colours look great. But I don't know much about your clothing style except the hoodies.I love hoodies, and I love wearing dark colours. But, if you're going to wear all black hoodies, all the time, you should know that other people might not understand your style.Is it fair? No. But it may happen.You say you like creepy(令人毛骨悚然的) and scary things. That's fantastic. Like what you like, and don't need to feel sorry to it. If people didn't like creepy and scary things, there wouldn't be Halloween, horrifying(令人恐惧的) movies or heavy metal music.But you also say that you avoid people. Are you careful in choosing friends? Or maybe you think it's more fun to watch a crowd than to join one.I'm a little worried that you just don't like people. You should ask yourself “why not?”Keep that in mind, but keep being yourself. Be a positive example of a black-hoodie girl. Dressing dark doesn't mean you can't smile and laugh and have fun.So go say “hi!” and join the crowd sometimes. Someone in that crowd might be happy to meet you. The only thing that is more fun than watching a scary movie is sharing it with a friend.Daniel1.What is Bella's favourite colour?

( )A.Joining in the crowd sometimes.B.Saying hi to everybody on the way.C.Sharing a movie with a friend.D.Meeting some happy persons.Passage 2Many know of famous British soccer teams like Manchester United and great players like David Beckham. In Britain itself, however, the love for soccer is strongest among fans for their local teams.One club with an especially passionate(狂热的) following is Derby County Football Club. Derby County, known as “the Rams”—is a part of the city of Derby, in the English Midlands.According to the Telegraph, Derby County's fans are the most loyal(忠诚的) in the country. “It's historical, geographical; it's in the blood.” The reason for this is connected to the story ofthe club. Derby has not often been a very successful side, but it has well-known glory(荣耀).Back in the early 1970s, Derby won all the national competitions. Derby supporters never forget this, whether the side is doing well or not. They believe or dream that one day they will achieve great things again, and so they eat, drink and sleep with soccer until that day comes.After every match, the first topic of conversation among kids in the city's schoolyards will be how Derby performed. Did a particular player have a great game? Or did another let the side down? And what the kids discuss at school, adults discuss in the homes, factories and offices, bars and restaurants of Derby.Derby fans may be especially loyal but what is true of them is also true of the fans of thousands of other smaller clubs in Britain. What matters to soccer supporters in Britain is not that their club wins, nor do they care that the club is wealthy or has famous players. The supporters care because the club is their own.1.What does Paragraph 3 want to tell us? ( )A.Derby Football Team is always the best.B.People in Derby are born football fans.C.Derby Football Club doesn't have a story.D.Derby County's fans support other teams.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.The football fans support every team in Britain.B.Derby Football Team did quite badly in the 1970s.C.Children may ask why Derby failed after a match.D.Every small club has got thousands of loyal fans.3.Which can we put in the “”? ( )A.Did anyone hurt in the game?B.Who scored the first goal?C.Did they play well or badly?D.When was the game over?4.What is the main idea of the passage? ( )A.Derby and its football fans.B.Small football clubs in Britain.C.Why Derby fans love football.D.Famous Football Clubs in Derby.Ⅲ.词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

Let's have a look at some of them and see if you agree that they deserve to be more successful.The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol in their breath, the car wouldn't start. It sounds like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to ride very hard. I found another invention on the Internet was designed to encourage good habits. Believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The ‘voice’ of the ashtray was activated by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate(使充气) a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you rode the bike inside the ball! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sports programs all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do ‘high fives’ with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any brilliant ideas for inventions like these.1.The purpose of blowing into a bag before driving is to . ( )A.prevent people from drinking and drivingB.help people start the car quicklyC.encourage people to drink more alcoholD.let people drive in an emergency2.The underline d word “generated” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”.( )A.storedB.producedC.inventedD.transported ball3.There are inventions mentioned in this passage.

So Londoners expected the completion of a new bridge across the Thames, the Tower Bridge, designed by Sir Horace Jones and engineered by Sir John Wolfe-Barry.The new bridge would have two towers that would rise 200 feet above the Thames. A pair of glass-covered walkways would stretch between the two towers for walkers. Steam engines(蒸汽机) would raise and lower the bascules, or movable roadways, in less than two minutes to allow boats to pass. Londoners were excited.Once the bridge was completed in 1894, however, the public was shocked with the results. Jones' original design was simple and had a medieval(中世纪的) style. But Jones died in 1887, and Barry added his own artistic touch.

速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women. He thinks they can't think in a logical(逻辑的) way. The 15 is-he is still single.( )1.A.first st C.given D.real( )2.A.clever B.oldC.powerfulD.famous( )3.A.money B.dinner C.help D.leave( )4.A.history B.physicsC.sportsD.culture( )5.A.some B.any C.no D.much( )6.A.active zy C.noisy D.nervous( )7.A.little B.full C.part D.half( )8.A.exercise B.homeworkC.surveysD.experiments( )9.A.that B.what C.where D.when( )10.A.of B.with C.from D.for( )11.A.excuse B.examC.resultD.accident( )12.A.simple B.true C.deep D.light( )13.A.decisions B.thoughtsC.plansD.memories( )14.A.Surprisingly B.HopefullyC.TerriblyD.Unluckily( )15.A.end B.story C.result D.truthⅡ.阅读理解Passage 1What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden” period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers?

People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him.Carefully I rolled (滚动) one to him, looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere (真诚的) expression on the face. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no broken bones or we'll end up in the hospital!” I said.Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movements on his face. My humour did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side, he held out his left hand, and smiled at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide warmth for us.
