He was the man who inspired the Beat Generation, and nearly half a century after his death Jack Kerouac is still receiving grateful letters from his fans. Most letters are sent in the post to his last home in St Petersburg, Florida, and the mail box in the front yard is full to bursting. But others aredelivered by hand, pushed under the front door or left on the doorstep.They usually thank the author of On the Road for inspiring them to travel and be independent. “You remind me to stay true to who yo u are and to encourage a sense of adventure in all of us.” reads one letter, handwrittenby “Cindy” on paper covered with pictures of butterflies and flowers. She adds, “I hope you’re writing, liberated and drinking a glass of wine.”Another, signed “Friend of Jack”, reads, “I prefer to think of myself as a free spirit and a person who follows a path of her own choosing. You have always been my inspiration.”His home, where he was living with his mother Gabrielle and his wife Stella, has become a destination for hundreds of fans every year.Kerouac rocketed to fame at the age of 35, with the publication of On the Road in 1957.But after becoming a symbol and leader of the alternative lifestyle movement, he struggled with that fame and claimed that he only wanted people to read his books.Kerouac died just 12 years after On the Road was published. He wassuffering from liver problem, following years of heavy drinking largelybrought on by his love-hate relationship with fame.Kerouac, the creator of vivid characters such as Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, died at a St Petersburg hospital in 1969, at the age of 47.1.

I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character is similar to mine. He does not like people either.When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “ God help us! A visitor! ” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house ona hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room tocalm the dogs.“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a s tranger with them. They’re dangerous.”“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.1. In which order should the following events be arranged?a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.e. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat down by the fire, in silence.f.

What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff?A. He was rich but foolish.B. He was rude but interesting.C. He was handsome but boring.D. He was strange but friendly.3. Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2- or 4-year college or university.The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet.They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated agood understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get goodinformation to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed tohelp build knowledge about global issues.1. What do we know about the survey?A. The participants were all recent university graduates.B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.C. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.D. It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.2. What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?A. The poor quality of the US university system.B. Young people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.C. The sources from which they get their information.D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.3. What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?A. Government organizations.B. Geographic information.C. Foreign relations.D. Environmental matters.4. In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?A. Economics.B. Education.C. National Politics.D. Entertainment.4. You can’t make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US townof Green Bank, West Virginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed, as is Bluetooth. As you approach the tiny town on a two-lane road that snakes through the mountains, your mobile phone signal drops out, and your radio stops working. The rusted pay phone on the north side of town is the only way for a visitorto reach the rest of the world. It’s a pre-modern place by design, lacking of the latest technologies that define life today.The reason for the town’s empty airwaves is apparent the moment you arrive. It’s the Robert C. Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite dish. It’s the largest of i ts kind in the world and oneof nine in Green Bank, all of them government owned and operated by theNational Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).You don’t look through these kinds of telescopes. They’re radio telescopes, so instead of looking for distant stars, they listen for them. There’s a long line of astronomers all over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting the ground 1,000 miles away.Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the US government created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where, to this day, electronic and radio signalsare forbidden every hour of every day.People who live within a 15km of the Green Bank telescope are allowed to use landline telephones, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet and radios are forbidden. You can have a mobile phone, but you won’t get a signal.Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of America, Green Bank seems to be a somewhat isolated (隔绝), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying. For others who come to Green Bank for a littlerest and relaxation, the town has become a refuge .1. What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?A. It’s located at the base of a large mountain.B. It is geographically and technologically isolated.C. Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.D. Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.2. How does the GBT work?A. It traps light waves in its huge dish.B. It stops all electronic and radio signals.C. It receives pictures from space satellites.D. It listens for and receives noises from space.3. What equipment are locals of the Green Bank allowed to use?A. Cable TV, wired Internet and radio.B. Landline phones, wired Internet and cable TV.C. Public phones, wireless Internet and mobile phones.D. Landline phones, microwave ovens and cable internet.4. What does the underlined word “refuge” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. A place of escape.B. A source of confusion.C. An area of interest.D. A sign of danger.二、七选五5. You wait in a long queue in the su permarket, but when it’s finally your turn to pay, you can’t find enough money in your purse. 1. While you are bending down to look for them, the people behind you are getting angry. The cashier is pounding her fingers impatiently on the counter.2. But the good news is: scientists have thought of a way to make queues shorter and paying for things easier. They have invented an eye scanner. Inthe future, when you pay for food at the supermarket, an eye scanner will take a picture of your eyes and a computer will identify you. 3.Students at Venerable Bede School, England, have already got an eye scannerin their cafeteria. After the students choose the food they want, the scanner looks for their information and sends a list of the food to their parents. 4. Also, parents pay for the meals at the end of the week, so the students don’t have to take money to school and wait in long queues to pay for their lunch.If all shops had eye scanners, shopping would be easier. 5. So, it seemsthat it will be a while before most of us get our eyes scanned at the cashier.A. Sometimes shopping can be unpleasant.B. You take out your credit cards, but they fall on the floor.C. If students aren’t eating a healthy diet, their parents will know.D. Stores are trying several new ways to get shoppers to spend more.E. Parents are urging the government to introduce better security safeguards.F. However, eye scanners are very expensive and many shops can’t afford them.G. As soon as the machine finds your information, it will send it to your bank which pays for your food automatically.三、完形填空6.

We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（会议）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏缩不前）---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.27. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented28. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence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最佳选项。

2019届高三英语最后40天冲刺卷(2) Word版含解析
2019届高三英语最后40天冲刺卷二1、Hiking in Banff and Lake LouiseThe cure for boredom is to surprise yourself with outdoor activities. The hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is among the most scenic and inspiring in the world. Ranging from walks and easy hikes to kind of adventurous ones, hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is your chance to step outside of your normal and into a truly magical world.1. Hiking to Lakes and WaterfallsThe lakes of Banff National Park have been drawing visitors from all over the world for more than one hundred years, so dip your toes into the icy water, takea look around, and enjoy the silence. You’ll feel like you’ve been frozen in time.2.Guided HikingOne of the best ways to experience the mountains is with the help of a friendly guide. Joining a guided hike will not only give you access to incredible scenery, but it will give you a much deeper appreciation of your surroundings. Is that a goat or a sheep? They’ll have the answer.3.

Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say . A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasi ness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as ex tremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultu res is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understandingto assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold3、In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn a bout acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of theirday-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened tobe in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility. 1．ILC is intended to _______.A．build a typical senior living community B．take good care of the children C．benefit both the children and the seniors D．rid the seniors of loneliness 2．From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _____. A．keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB．come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC．take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD．think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC3．The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A．the benefits the seniors receive B．the situation of the seniors C．children’s company D．the interaction between the children and the seniors4．The underlined words in the last paragraph may refer to _________.A．a special building B．a typical familyC．a typical teaching program D．a special learning center4、 Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”It’s one of those enormous questions that areso important—philosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our lives—and yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences.The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time.My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. "There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. "There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."Taking a few moments to record your response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Life’s meaning is ph ilosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.5、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。

AShortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncl e’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cri ed out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!1. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling.B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.C. Because he was used to living abroad.D. Because there was no furniture in it.2. When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because __________.A. it was completely dark insideB. there was too much dust in the airC. something strange blinded themD. it was too bright inside3. The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because __________.A. he did not miss the exciting storiesB. he spent more time with his uncleC. he had a lucky escapeD. he saw a strange sight4. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.B. Humorous and good at making jokes....C. Dependable and generous with moneyD. Considerate and sensitive to danger.【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. A【解析】本文主要讲述了作者兄弟俩和国外归来的叔叔一起在乡间小屋里度过一晚的故事。

Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say . A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasi ness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as ex tremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultu res is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.

It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to lear n about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting wi th the residents is simply part of theirday-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened tobe in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility. 1．ILC is intended to _______.A．build a typical senior living community B．take good care of the children C．benefit both the children and the seniors D．rid the seniors of loneliness 2．From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _____.

If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences.The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time.My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. "There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. "There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."Taking a few moments to record your response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Life’s meaning is philosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.5、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。

Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months.Xi’an,ChinaXi’an, China is supreme and then there’s the biggie (重要的事物)-the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.Xi’an is vast, but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There’s never been a better time to visit.South of Tokyo, JapanTwo cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine.Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura »s known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants.Sri Lanka’s Hill CountrySri Lanka may be “so hot right now”, but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience.Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from the nation’s humid coasts.This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃.Raja Ampat,Indonesia“Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white-sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a biological hotspot.Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet—over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature—and this, paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands.1.What can visitors do in Xi’an?A.Shop in a fantastic seaside town.B.Appreciate diverse heritage.C.Enjoy mushroom-shaped small islands.D.Experience planting crops by themselves.2.Where is a surfer most likely to go?A.Yokohama.B.Raja Ampat.C.Kamakura.D.

The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued to her mother’s skirts.Their three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice," My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me, so I have no choice, I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her."I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for our understanding.On Monday morning, expecting a tearful anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids. But Mother needs to be with me. You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day.

And today, in our highly connected world, these changes happen more quickly. Every year, forexample, the Merriam Webster English Dictionary adds many new words—or new meanings for common words——to the English language. English has always been made up of words from many languages. Most English words come from Latin, Germanic languages and French. But it may astound you that English has taken more than a dozen words from Japanese like emoji, skosh, honcho.Emoji: English speakers used the word emoticons for computer keyboard symbols expressing emotion in electronic messages and on the Internet. That was before the invention of smiley face icons. In the late 1990s, a Japanese computer programmer named Shigetaku Kurita changed everything when he invented emoji—images, icons and symbols that express meaning without words. In Japanese, the word emoji means "pictograph" and comes from the word meaning “picture” and moji, meaning “letter” or “character”. The similarity to the English word “emotion” is only by chance.Skosh: The English meaning of sko sh is “a small amount". In Japanese, sukoshi can also mean “a few” “a little” or “some”. Notice the similarity between the English and Japanese pronunciations: skosh and sukoshi. American soldiers picked up sukoshi while they were stationed in Japan after World War Ⅱ. They brought it back with them to the United States in the 1950s. While the English word is a noun,the Merriam-Webster Dictionary notes that,sometimes we also use the word as an adverb, such as in the example “I’m a skosh hungry.’’ In other words: “I’m a little bit hungry. ’’Honcho : another word borrowed from Japanese,also came into use around World War Ⅱ. In English, honcho means "person in charge''. In Japanese, the word is hancho. It means “squad(队) leader" and comes from two words: han meaning “squad” and cho meaning “head”. Imprisoned American servicemen in Japan learned about the word. Later, they brought it back with them to the United States.1.Which of the following best explains “astound” underlined in Paragraph 1?A.Puzzle.B.Surprise.C.Tire.D.Excite.2.What can we know about emoji?A.Before the late 1990s, people had used emoji.B.Emoji is equal to “letter" while moji means “character”.C.Shigetaku Kurita created emoji to express meaning without words.D.Emoji is similar to the English word “ emotion" on purpose.3.Which two words brought back to America during World War Ⅱ?A.Skosh and Emoji.B.Skosh and Honcho.C.Emoji and Sukoshi.D.Honcho and Emoji.4.What is the main idea of the text?nguages are always changing over time.B.All Japanese words have been borrowed by English.C.Some Japanese words have been adopted by English.D.English borrows many words from other languages.4、A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of th e shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.1. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?A. They are buried or burned.B. They are used to make shoes.C. They are changed into soft materials.D. They arc returned to factories for reuse.2. What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A. Attached.B. Fixed.C. Combined.D. Repaired.3. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A. The design and color.B. The reasonable price.C. The company’s advertisement.D. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.4. What is the purpose of the text?A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.B. To describe the process of making shoes.C. To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.D. To stress the importance of environmental protection.5、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。

Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say . A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasi ness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as ex tremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultu res is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understandingto assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold3、In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community.
