B
Tabichi’s
father,uncle,and
cousins
have
all
worked
as
teachers.He
could
see
that
his
relatives
were
making
a
real
difference
to
people’s
lives
and
wanted
to
do
the
same.So
for
the
past
12
years,Tabichi
has
worked
as
a
math
and
science
teacher
in
the
hope
that
his
lessons
will
give
students
a
chance
to
improve
their
situations.
However,working
at
a
remote
village
school
in
Kenya
hasn’t
been
easy.The
unique
challenges
and
obstacles
have
forced
Tabichi
to
find
unique
solutions
for
his
students.The
school
only
has
one
computer
and
unreliable
Internet
access.The
school
also
has
no
library
or
laboratory.To
make
matters
worse,there
are
not
enough
books
for
all
the
students
and
the
school
is
desperately
in
need
of
more
teachers.Most
of
the
students
are
not
able
to
concentrate,because
they
haven’t
had
enough
meals
at
home.
One
of
the
other
major
challenges
that
Tabichi
faces
is
keeping
kids
in
school
as
long
as
possible.So
Tabichi
spends
most
of
his
time
outside
of
the
classroom
working
on
ways
to
keep
kids
in
school.When
the
36-year-old
teacher
gets
the
feeling
that
a
student
is
at
risk
of
dropping
out,he
works
to
persuade
families
to
put
more
value
in
education.To
help
those
in
poverty
afford
food,uniforms,and
books,Tabichi
also
gives
away
80
percent
of
his
salary.Despite
all
the
obstacles
he
faces,Tabichi
is
credited
for
improving
the
school
and
keeping
much
of
the
village’s
youth
in
school.He
has
also
managed
to
set
up
science
clubs
and
addressed
food
insecurity
issues.
Thanks
to
his
tireless
work,his
students
have
excelled.In
recent
years,his
students
have
won
national
and
international
science
competitions.In
March
of
2019,Tabichi
was
voted
the
best
teacher
in
the
world
and
won
the
prize
of
$1
million.
4.What
inspired
Tabichi
to
be
a
teacher?
A.The
high
salary
of
teachers.
B.His
father’s
demand
on
him.
C.Contributions
a
teacher
can
make.
D.His
relatives’
encouragement.
5.What
is
Paragraph
2
mainly
about?
A.The
difficulties
Tabichi’s
school
faced.
B.The
life
of
a
remote
village
in
Kenya.
C.Tabichi’s
unique
teaching
ways
for
his
students.
D.Most
of
the
students’
distraction
on
their
learning.
6.What
occupied
Tabichi’s
most
time?
A.Giving
students
the
best
lessons.
B.Helping
students
get
rid
of
poverty.
C.Persuading
students
not
to
drop
out.
D.Getting
students
away
from
any
risk.
7.Which
of
the
following
can
best
describe
Tabichi?

Paris
is
a
city
like
no
other,and
much
of
this
has
to
do
with
its
beautiful
architecture.But
on
April
15,Notre-Dame
Cathedral,one
of
its
most
iconic
structures,caught
fire
and
lasted
for
several
hours,nearly
destroying
the
centuries-old
church
before
firefighters
were
able
to
extinguish
the
fire.The
tragedy
all
began
when
fire
alarms
rang
in
the
evening
as
people
rushed
past
the
Notre-Dame
Cathedral
on
their
way
home.Yet
upon
seeing
the
smoke,and
then
later
the
flames,a
large
crowd
gathered
in
horror
as
it
watched
the
spire(尖塔)
of
the
famous
cathedral
collapse
as
the
fire
grew
in
size
and
intensity(剧烈).
The
fire
at
Notre-Dame
Cathedral
started
in
or
near
the
spires
some
295
feet
from
the
ground.According
to
Dunn,a
fire
expert,this
was
extremely
problematic
for
two
reasons.“If
you’ve
ever
been
in
the
attic
of
a
church,you’ll
instantly
notice
it’s
all
made
of
wood,which
of
course
makes
it
ripe
for
a
fire
to
spread
quickly.Second,fire
hoses
can
only
reach
a
maximum
height
of
fifty
feet,making
the
spires
in
Notre-Dame
Cathedral
extremely
difficult
to
address.”
“The
firefighters
used
both
an
offensive
and
defensive
strategy,”
explains
Dunn.“First,from
the
outside,they
had
aerial
streams
hitting
the
fire
from
several
safe
locations
to
contain
the
flames
and
prevent
them
from
spreading
to
nearby
structures.Then,they
switched
strategies
to
an
inside
one
in
which
an
offensive
search-and-recover
operation
began.They
did
a
great
job.”
That
brings
us
to
the
difficult
but
important
discussion
of
what
to
do
with
the
countless
other
places
of
worship
around
the
world.“If
centuries-old
places
of
worship
want
to
protect
their
buildings,they
must
install
automatic
sprinklers,”
Dunn
argues.“The
problem
is,no
one
wants
to
do
that
because
it
could
deface
the
beautiful
interiors(内部).But
that’s
really
the
only
way
they
can
ensure
their
structure
will
last
another
century.If
they
don’t
take
this
problem
seriously,any
other
places
of
worship
around
the
world
could
suffer
the
fate
as
Notre-Dame
Cathedral.”
8.How
did
pedestrians
feel
when
they
saw
the
church
on
fire?
A.Puzzled.
B.Worried.
C.Upset.
D.Horrified.
9.What
does
the
underlined
word
“extinguish”
most
probably
mean?
A.Put
out.
B.Block
away.
C.Cut
through.
D.Transfer
into.
10.What
can
we
infer
from
the
third
paragraph?
A.It
was
easy
for
the
firefighters
to
put
out
the
fire.
B.Dunn
was
satisfied
with
what
the
firefighters
had
done.
C.The
terrible
fire
made
people
in
the
city
hard
to
breathe.
D.Firefighters
used
fire
hoses
near
the
spires
to
put
out
the
fire.
11.What
does
Dunn
suggest
in
the
last
paragraph?
A.Discussing
what
to
do
to
protect
the
old
buildings.
B.Having
automatic
sprinklers
installed
in
the
old
buildings.
C.Defacing
the
beautiful
interiors
of
these
old
buildings.
D.Letting
people
realise
the
destruction
of
fires.
D
Barcelona’s
famous
Segrada
Familia
is
finally
set
to
get
a
building
licence,more
than
130
years
after
work
on
the
still
uncompleted
church
began.
Construction
on
the
UNESCO
World
Heritage
basilica(长方形基督教堂),which
is
Barcelona’s
most
visited
tourist
attraction,began
in
1882
based
on
a
design
by
architect
Francisco
Lozano.However,when
he
stepped
down,architect
Antoni
Gaudi
took
over
the
design
in
1883.The
building
won’t
be
finished
until
2026—one
hundred
years
after
the
architect
was
killed
by
a
streetcar
in
the
city.His
body
was
buried
in
a
room
under
the
floor
of
the
Sagrada
Familia.
To
get
its
paperwork
rubber
stamped,the
church
authorities
have
agreed
to
finally
pay
the
government
a
￡36
million
fee
for
a
building
permit.Gaudi
was
told
to
get
the
paperwork
processed,but
the
architect
failed
to
do
so—proceeding
with
construction
regardless.The
money
from
the
church’s
permit
will
be
used
to
upgrade
transport
links
and
beautify
the
area.Gaudi
and
his
works
have
become
symbols
of
Barcelona,the
capital
city
of
Catalonia,northeast
Spain.
Gaudi
played
an
active
role
in
directing
the
construction
of
the
Sagrada
Familia
until
his
death
in
1926.He
would
often
request
that
work
be
modified
and
adjusted
until
it
was
exactly
what
he
had
in
mind.However,interpretation
of
the
designs
by
present-day
architects
is
particularly
challenging
because
of
the
nature
of
the
existing
designs.
The
unfinished
building
is
called
a
masterpiece
of
Gothic
architecture
and
it
is
perhaps
the
most
unique
and
mysterious
building
in
the
style
ever
constructed.The
popularity
of
the
site
with
tourists
has
helped
fund
the
push
to
complete
the
church
and
pay
for
the
paperwork.
12.What
do
we
know
about
the
Segrada
Familia?
A.It
has
been
completely
constructed.
B.It
was
first
designed
by
Antoni
Gaudi.
C.It
will
get
a
building
permit
in
2026.
D.It
began
to
be
built
more
than
130
years
ago.
13.What
can
we
know
about
Antoni
Gaudi?
A.He
wished
to
be
buried
in
the
church.
B.He
is
remembered
as
a
great
architect.
C.He
didn’t
know
a
permit
was
necessary.
D.He
is
to
blame
for
the
unfinished
church.
14.What
makes
the
Segrada
Familia
so
popular?
A.Its
unusual
design
style.
B.Its
two
famous
architects.
C.Its
special
building
materials.
D.Its
illegal
construction
paperwork.
15.The
church
managed
to
pay
for
the
licence
　　　.?
A.in
the
support
of
the
government
B.by
reducing
construction
costs
C.with
the
aid
of
tourist
income
D.through
donations
from
architects
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Some
individuals
are
born
with
a
gift
for
public
speaking.　1　
Do
you
want
to
be
a
good
public
speaker?Here
are
some
principles
you
must
master.?
People
want
to
listen
to
someone
who
is
interesting,relaxed
and
comfortable.Too
often,when
you
stand
up
to
give
a
speech,you
focus
on
the
“public”
at
the
expense
of
the
“speaking”.　2　
Focus
on
the
speaking.Talk
directly
to
your
audience,be
yourself
and
make
a
connection.?
Even
the
most
successful
public
speaker
will
make
mistakes.Yet,the
only
one
who
cares
about
any
mistake
is
the
one
who
is
speaking.People’s
attention
wanders
constantly.In
fact,most
people
only
absorb
about
20
percent
of
a
speaker’s
message.So,don’t
stop
speaking
when
you
make
a
mistake
unless
it’s
a
truly
serious
one.　3　?
Your
goal
is
not
to
be
a
perfect
public
speaker.　4　
And
like
everything
else
in
life,that
takes
practice.Remember,even
world
champion
athletes
practise
their
skills
on
a
consistent
basis.?
　5　
It’s
rare
to
hear
someone
say,“I
wish
that
speaker
had
spoken
longer.”On
the
other
hand,you
probably
can’t
count
the
times
when
you’ve
thought,“I’m
glad
that
talk
is
over.It
seemed
to
go
on
forever!”
So
surprise
your
audience.Always
make
your
presentation
just
a
bit
shorter
than
anticipated.It’s
better
to
leave
your
listeners
wishing
for
more
than
shifting
restlessly
in
their
seats
waiting
for
your
speech
finally
to
end.?
A.Do
the
opposite.
B.You
want
to
be
an
effective
public
speaker.
C.You
don’t
need
to
apologise
for
a
minor
slip.
D.When
it
comes
to
public
speaking,less
is
usually
more.
E.The
objective
of
most
speeches
is
to
benefit
the
audience.
F.Take
the
fear
out
of
public
speaking
by
focusing
on
your
listeners.
G.However,the
majority
of
people
are
effective
speakers
because
they
train
to
be.
