Ⅰ阅读理解
A
(2018·浙江金、丽、衢十二校高三联考)Life is not always easy. One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lie in bed and hide from everything.
People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you through the most beautiful path you’ve known, but sometimes the same people let go of your hand without warning, and you become stranded at a place where you never thought you’d feel lost.
Let’s be honest, sometimes everything is going so great and it seems like nothing could go wrong, but right when you begin to think that, something so horrible comes crashing down and all of a sudden more problems come drowning around you and you just feel so hopeless because it’s so bad...
It’s so hard to understand why such things happen in life, and I personally wish I had an answer to that “why”you always ask yourself, but all I can say is no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep going. The life around you will never stop going on.
I’ll be honest and say that sometimes I feel a little bit worried and all I can think is “Will I be able to keep up? What if everything goes too fast？”But I realize that being scared and living with that burden of running away from problems only slow me down even more.
And I’ve come to the point where I believe that because life never stops, I shouldn’t stop either. It’s okay to take a break and to give yourself time to heal, but you cannot give up and you cannot quit.
Keep positive, fill your heart with gratitude for what you already have, and always remind yourself to be humble and true to who you are!

B
One of the main creators of the World Wide Web，Sir Tim Berners­Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.
He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet，“A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths，or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way.”In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging.Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information.However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog.This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.
He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.It’s interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科) has had to take steps to prevent false information from being added to the biographies of living people.It’s easy for anybody to edit the open source.However，some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards，Wikipedia has sought to stop the false materials.
At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work.The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet.There appears no slowdown in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries.Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody.Sir Tim has recently launched a new joint initiative(倡议) between the University of Southampton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science.The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.

How to Set Goals
Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain, while others can be completed in a day. 1.________
•Determine your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life. What do you want to achieve today, in a year, and in your lifetime? The answers to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy”or “I want to help people”. 2.________ •Set specific goals. Be specific and realistic about what it is that you want to achieve. Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it. 3.________ For example, “Be healthier” is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. “I want to eat more vegetables, and I want to run a marathon”is better.
•Write out your goals. Be detailed, be clear, and include your steps. 4.________ Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently. This will help keep you motivated.
•5.________ You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals, but take the time to re­evaluate your smaller goals. Are you accomplishing them according to your timeline?

【解题导语】当一个母语是英语的人听到一个人说着蹩脚的英语时是什么感受？厌烦还是耐心倾听？本文就此问题进行了讨论。

1．broken解析：考查词性转换。

句意：似乎蹩脚的英语让他们感到厌烦。

修饰名词用形容词，故填动词break的形容词形式broken，意为“蹩脚的；不流利的”。

2．on/upon解析：考查介词。

句意：我认为这要取决于英语为母语的人。

depend on/upon 是固定搭配，意为“依赖；取决于”。

故填on/upon。

3．easily解析：考查词性转换。

句意：有些人就是容易生气。

设空处修饰动词，要用副词，故填easily。

4．attempting解析：考查非谓语动词。

句意：当我听到有人努力说英语时，我很耐心是因为我知道用非母语交流是多么不容易。

此处为“hear＋宾语＋宾补”结构，attempt 与宾语之间为逻辑上的主动关系，且此处指听到有人正在努力说英语，故用现在分词作宾补。

故填attempting。

5．how解析：考查宾语从句。

句意见上一题解析。

此处为感叹句用作宾语从句，用于加强语气。

设空处修饰形容词difficult，故填how。

6．to learn解析：考查非谓语动词。

句意：我也知道英语很难学，那增加了我对他们的努力的尊重。

在“it is＋adj.＋to do...”句型中，it是形式主语，动词不定式(短语)作真正的主语，故填to learn。

7．tables解析：考查名词单复数。

句意：如果我正在人超级多的一天招待顾客，且真的需要做很多件不同的事情，我可能会因不得不等待在点餐时纠结不已的人而感到心烦意乱。

wait tables是固定短语，意为“招待顾客”。

故填tables。

8．needed解析：考查动词的时态。

句意见上一题解析。

根据并列连词and可知，前后时态应该一致，故填过去式needed。

9．possibility解析：考查词性转换。

句意：也存在这样的可能性，有些烦恼不是真的烦恼。

定冠词the后接名词形式，且根据谓语动词exists可知，应填形容词possible的名词形式possibility。

10．but/yet解析：考查连词。

句意：听非母语的讲话者说话时，我可能紧皱着眉头，但那是因为我在聚精会神地努力去听懂他。

根据句意可知，前后文是转折关系。

故填but/yet。

Ⅰ阅读理解
A
As I began my junior year of college, I began to think of plans after graduation. I knew that I wanted to work in the field of my major, public relations. But I also knew that it was difficult to find a position considering my inexperience. That was when I decided to pursue an internship(实习工作)．
So I chose to talk to my advisor first. He had worked in the field of public relations for many years before he became a professor, and therefore had numerous contacts and associates in the field. After talking to him about a few of the positions, I decided to pursue the Cincinnati Fine Arts Fund because of my interest in the arts and the passion I would feel working for a non­profit organization. I sent out a cover letter and a resume and was hired on the spot in the interview.
I soon began my position. After class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would drive to work and apply all the skills I was learning in the classroom. I was amazed at the amount of practical knowledge in class that was directly applicable to my internship position. It became a very useful and beneficial experience. Not only was I working for arts organizations and seeing my name printed on documents I had created, but also gaining confidence in my skills and myself.
As the semester came to a close, I finished my work with the Fine Arts Fund. Although I didn’t take away any money for the internship, I gained many different kinds of experience and the knowledge that I was capable of accomplishing professional tasks. And that kind of confidence was invaluable to me as I sat down to interview for my next internship.

B
Several decades ago, educators in the USA began to call attention to a national problem: most students leave American schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or for higher education.This was especially true for female and minority students.The Educational Testing Service reported that, in an international survey, American teenagers had the lowest math scores.
This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”，or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians, teachers, and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that, in addition to poor education, there are many psychological blocks.
Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result, those students fall further and further behind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not__always
__been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.
Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”—the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In addition, math textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures, and to discover relationships.
Traditional computing skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are still being taught, of course. However, there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions.
【解题导语】本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策。

4．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
A．Students with low scores fear to ask their teachers for help.
B．Poor equipment in classrooms limits teens’ chances to learn.
C．Math anxiety, hardly noticed, is actually a silent call for help.
D．Poor­sighted students can’t see clearly, which is a silent call for help.
C解析：句意理解题。

根据上下文及画线句前面的“Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.”可知，学生会因自己不懂某些数学知识感到尴尬，而这又会使他们产生恐惧心理，恐惧可能导致沉默，因为学生不想让人注意到自己知识匮乏，相应地，老师也就会忽略学生这方面的不足，由此可知，C项最能传达该画线句的含义。

5．Which may lead to American students’innumeracy?
A．The methods of teaching.
B．The difficulty of math itself.
C．Students’lack of interest in math.
D．Schools’not attaching enough value to it.
A解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第二段中的“in addition to poor education”及第四段的内容尤其是“Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students...gaining competence in mathematics.”可知，教学方法可能是美国学生不能掌握数学基本概念的原因。

6．What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．What to be taught in America’s revised math programs.
B．How to make math reform actually benefit American students.
C．How to improve teens’logical thinking and problem­solving abilities.
D．Why traditional computing skills are necessary in mathematics education.
C解析：推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions”可知，文章接下来可能会陈述有关怎样提高学生的逻辑思维能力及创造性地解决问题的能力方面的内容，故选C。

7．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Mathematic skills needed for higher education.
B．The features of America’s mathematics education.
C．Improvements in mathematics education in the U．S.
D．The importance of mathematics education in the U．S.
C解析：主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，本文作者就美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策进行了陈述，故C项最能概括文章的主要内容。
