A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luck Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded-along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. "That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage, "he said. "The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making "great money to zero money". He's never looked back. "I found that the need I have isn't financial, "he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace
A. To get more donations. B. To make a big fortune.
C. To inspire his community. D. To donate beds to kids in need.
5. What do we know about Luke Mickelson
A. He originally had a very good career. B. He changed his career from time to time.
C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D. He had his own fish farm.
6. How did other people react to Mickelson’s project
A. They showed little interest in it.
B. They were supportive and involved in it.
C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
7. What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit
A. Ambiguous B. Defensive. C. Positive D. Cautious
C
The clock is ticking. David Brunelli has just swallowed a huge burger. The crowd cheers excitedly as he downs fistfuls of fries.
Welcome to the world of competitive eating.
Brunelli is part of a select group who compete to eat massive quantities of food as quickly as possible. Eating contests may seem like harmless fun, but they have a dark side and some critics are saying it’s time for them to stop.
Pouring crazy amounts of food down our throats is nothing new. Gorging banquets (狼吞虎咽会) was a regular part of ancient Roman culture. In the 1800s, some New York City politicians settled bets through eating challenges. Pie-eating contests have been a Fourth of July tradition for more than a century.
For supporters like Brunelli, though, eating contests are more than a custom. They are a path to fortune.
But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive petitive eating can even be life-threatening. In 1991, a man in Virginia suffered a stroke (中风) after eating 38 eggs in 29 seconds; In Florida, in 2012, a man died shortly after winning an eating contest leading a group of doctors to call for a ban on eating contests.
In any event, the risk to competitors is only part of the story. Nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and competitive eating sets a terrible example by encouraging overeating. And in a world where 805 million people go hungry every day, downing ridiculous quantities of food for entertainment seems not just wasteful but also cruel.
For now, though, it seems eating contests are here to stay. Last year, more than three million viewers watched Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on TV. This year, Matt Stonie ate 182 pieces of bacon in 5 minutes, breaking the world record.
What record will be broken next Do you really want to find out
8. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 4
A. Competitive eating is a tradition.
B. It’s great to learn from ancient people.
C. Competitive eating should be accepted.
D. It’s exciting to challenge others to eat.
9. Why does Brunelli take part in the eating contest
A. For food. B. For fun.
C. For honor. D. For money.
10. The examples given in Paragraph 6 are used to show eating contests ________.
A. use unhealthy food
B. waste too much food
C put competitors at risk
D. set a bad example to kids
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author hopes to break the record.
B. The author is eager to know the result.
C. The author wants readers to find out the result.
D. The author disapproves of competitive eating.
D
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way that people interact and connect on a daily basis. They are changing the face of relationships of every kind. One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorders.
If removed from their phone for a few hours or a few days, the average person would likely feel anxious about not being “connected”. Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which they posted a creative photo, and waited to see “how many” or “retweets” they received. If this number is lower than expected, the（自我）ego is going to take a hit. There is also constant checking of the number of “followers” and “friends” that you have, and these numbers can have a direct influence on feelings of acceptance and popularity.
Anxiety can arise from feeling at a loss when faced with too much going on at one time Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety. Most people can likely relate to feeling the constant need to check their phone while driving, during meals or at work. This desire is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety. The choice to be constantly connected leads to the feeling of having to always make yourself available.
Social anxiety is much different from the anxiety one feels from being offline. It’s a more serious type of anxiety resulting from the fear of being judged by others while in a social interaction. Cases can range from mild--- and are often the cause of a lot of drinking with others to severe, in which case a person may avoid parties and get-togethers altogether.
The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）. The real question is to what extent are they introducing new disorders or increasing existing ones like social anxiety. It’s certainly a topic worth studying more to determine who is being helped, who is being harmed and how social anxiety can be dealt with.
12 What is the major focus of the text？
A. Human desire for social interaction.
B. The influence of social media on anxiety.
C. Anxiety resulting from interpersonal relationships.
D. The popularity of social media in people’s daily life.
13. How does the author explain social anxiety in Paragraph 2
A. By giving examples. B. By offering statistics.
C. By providing processes. D. By making comparisons.
14. According to the author, which of the following can lead to increased levels of anxiety
A. Not being available for get-togethers. B. Chatting on the phone with a friend.
C. Using the phone while driving. D. Eating meals alone.
15. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Life changes. B. Anxiety degrees.
C New forms of anxiety. D. Social media and technology.

From the work I did during the summer vacation, I understand that money was not easy to earn. I felt it a shame to wasting food. For the old generation, we advocate saving money. Take my parents for an example, they save every cent they can. When they talk about traveling, they will hesitate and final give up because of money. However, I think reasonable consumption not only include the basic needs, also the amusement. Life is short. We should enjoy every moment and see different people and beautiful sceneries.

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded-along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. "That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage, "he said. "The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making "great money to zero money". He's never looked back. "I found that the need I have isn't financial, "he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace
A. To get more donations. B. To make a big fortune.
C. To inspire his community. D. To donate beds to kids in need.
5. What do we know about Luke Mickelson
A. He originally had a very good career. B. He changed his career from time to time.
C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D. He had his own fish farm.
6. How did other people react to Mickelson’s project
A. They showed little interest in it.
B. They were supportive and involved in it.
C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
7. What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit
A. Ambiguous B. Defensive. C. Positive D. Cautious
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C

The clock is ticking David Brunelli has just swallowed a huge burger. The crowd cheers excitedly as he downs fistfuls of fries.
Welcome to the world of competitive eating.
Brunelli is part of a select group who compete to eat massive quantities of food as quickly as possible. Eating contests may seem like harmless fun, but they have a dark side and some critics are saying it’s time for them to stop.
Pouring crazy amounts of food down our throats is nothing new. Gorging banquets (狼吞虎咽会) was a regular part of ancient Roman culture. In the 1800s, some New York City politicians settled bets through eating challenges. Pie-eating contests have been a Fourth of July tradition for more than a century.
For supporters like Brunelli, though, eating contests are more than a custom. They are a path to fortune.
But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive petitive eating can even be life-threatening. In 1991, a man in Virginia suffered a stroke (中风) after eating 38 eggs in 29 seconds; In Florida, in 2012, a man died shortly after winning an eating contest leading a group of doctors to call for a ban on eating contests.
In any event, the risk to competitors is only part of the story. Nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and competitive eating sets a terrible example by encouraging overeating. And in a world where 805 million people go hungry every day, downing ridiculous quantities of food for entertainment seems not just wasteful but also cruel.
For now, though, it seems eating contests are here to stay. Last year, more than three million viewers watched Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on TV. This year, Matt Stonie ate 182 pieces of bacon in 5 minutes, breaking the world record.
What record will be broken next Do you really want to find out
8. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 4
A. Competitive eating is a tradition.
B. It’s great to learn from ancient people.
C. Competitive eating should be accepted.
D. It’s exciting to challenge others to eat.
9. Why does Brunelli take part in the eating contest
A. For food. B. For fun.
C. For honor. D. For money.
10. The examples given in Paragraph 6 are used to show eating contests ________.
A. use unhealthy food
B. waste too much food
C. put competitors at risk
D. set a bad example to kids
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author hopes to break the record.
B. The author is eager to know the result.
C. The author wants readers to find out the result.
D. The author disapproves of competitive eating.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述竞争性饮食是一种传统，但是传播了不健康的饮食观念，而且存在一定的危险。作者并不赞成竞争性饮食。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Gorging banquets (狼吞虎咽会）were a regular part of ancient Roman culture. In the 1800s, some New York City politicians settled bets through eating challenges. Pie-eating contests have been a Fourth of July tradition for more than a century.可知，狼吞虎咽会是古罗马文化的一部分。在19世纪，纽约市的一些政客通过饮食挑战来下注。一个多世纪以来，吃馅饼比赛一直是七月四日的传统。因此推断作者试图在第4段中表达“竞争性饮食是一种传统。”故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段For supporters like Brunelli, though, eating contests are more than a custom. They are a path to fortune.可知，Brunelli为了钱参加饮食比赛。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive petitive eating can even be life-threatening.可知，第6段中所举的例子用来说明吃东西的竞赛会使竞争者处于危险之中。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中What record will be broken next Do you really want to find out 可知，作者提出疑问：接下来会有什么记录被打破？你真的想知道吗？因此推断从最后一段可以推断出“作者不赞成竞争性饮食。”故选D。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第3小题，根据第六段中But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive petitive eating can even be life-threatening.可知，第6段中所举的例子用来说明吃东西的竞赛会使竞争者处于危险之中。故选C。
D
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way that people interact and connect on a daily basis. They are changing the face of relationships of every kind. One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorders.
If removed from their phone for a few hours or a few days, the average person would likely feel anxious about not being “connected”. Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which they posted a creative photo, and waited to see “how many” or “retweets” they received. If this number is lower than expected, the（自我）ego is going to take a hit. There is also constant checking of the number of “followers” and “friends” that you have, and these numbers can have a direct influence on feelings of acceptance and popularity.
Anxiety can arise from feeling at a loss when faced with too much going on at one time Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety. Most people can likely relate to feeling the constant need to check their phone while driving, during meals or at work. This desire is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety. The choice to be constantly connected leads to the feeling of having to always make yourself available.
Social anxiety is much different from the anxiety one feels from being offline. It’s a more serious type of anxiety resulting from the fear of being judged by others while in a social interaction. Cases can range from mild--- and are often the cause of a lot of drinking with others to severe, in which case a person may avoid parties and get-togethers altogether.
The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）. The real question is to what extent are they introducing new disorders or increasing existing ones like social anxiety. It’s certainly a topic worth studying more to determine who is being helped, who is being harmed and how social anxiety can be dealt with.
12. What is the major focus of the text？
A. Human desire for social interaction.
B. The influence of social media on anxiety.
C. Anxiety resulting from interpersonal relationships.
D. The popularity of social media in people’s daily life.
13. How does the author explain social anxiety in Paragraph 2
A. By giving examples. B. By offering statistics.
C. By providing processes. D. By making comparisons.
14. According to the author, which of the following can lead to increased levels of anxiety
A. Not being available for get-togethers. B. Chatting on the phone with a friend.
C. Using the phone while driving. D. Eating meals alone.
15. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Life changes. B. Anxiety degrees.
C New forms of anxiety. D. Social media and technology.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交焦虑症的起因和症状以及影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段中的 One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorder. 引起许多人关注的一个主要问题是社交媒体对社交焦虑症的影响。点出主题，下文随之展开，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的 Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which… feelings of acceptance and popularity大多数人可能都有过这样的经历：他们上传了一张有创意的照片，然后等着看自己收到了“多少赞”或“转发”。如果这个数字低于预期，自我就会受到打击。你还可以不断地检查你的“粉丝”和“朋友”的数量，这些数字可以直接影响你的接纳感和受欢迎程度。可知，本段举例说明了社交焦虑，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中 Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety及接下来的举例 check their phone while driving… is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety一心多用很快就会导致焦虑水平上升。大多数人都有这样的感觉:开车、吃饭或工作的时候总是要看手机。这种渴望实际上导致了焦虑水平的增加。可知，开车时查看手机会加强焦虑感，故选C。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词上一句“The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）”提到“社交媒体和技术改变人们生活以及给人们带来新的焦虑的程度不可否认”，由此可知，接下来的一句继续指出 “社交媒体和技术带来新的焦虑或增加已有焦虑的程度到底有多大”是要研究的问题，故they指代“社交媒体和技术”，故选D。
【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。
1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。
3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。
4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。
6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。
7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。
文中的小题4，划线词上一句“The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）.”提到“社交媒体和技术改变人们生活以及给人们带来新的焦虑的程度不可否认”，由此可知，接下来的一句继续指出 “社交媒体和技术带来新的焦虑或增加已有焦虑的程度到底有多大”是要研究的问题，故they指代“社交媒体和技术”，故选D。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲了道路上最重要的规则是从哪边开车以及此规则的历史演变过程。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由于这个原因，世界上发生了大量的交通事故，越来越多的人选择租车作为在国外开车的方式。分析可知空格所在的部分是句子的状语，故空格处填所给动词的非谓语形式，people与choose是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词。故答案为choosing。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：著名演员马修·布罗德里克在爱尔兰租了一辆车，却被卷入了严重的车祸，因为他忘记了他们是在路的另一边开车。分析可知空格处是句子的谓语，Matthew Broderick与catch之间是被动关系，根据时间状语从句“when he rented….”的时态及语境可知此处也用一般过去时态，故填一般过去时的被动语态。故答案为was caught。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：著名演员马修·布罗德里克在爱尔兰租了一辆车，却被卷入了严重的车祸，因为他忘记了他们是在路的另一边开车。vehicle意为：车辆；工具；交通工具，可数名词，此处泛指一辆车，故其前填不定冠词，vehicle的读音以辅音发音开头，故答案为a。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：世界上以前是英国殖民地的大部分地区，包括澳大利亚、印度和南非在内，现在仍然靠左边行驶。分析可知空格所在的句子主干成分完整，此处用副词修饰句子。故答案为previously。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界上以前是英国殖民地的大部分地区，包括澳大利亚、印度和南非在内，现在仍然靠左边行驶。分析可知“Australia, India, and South Africa ____5____ (include).”是句子的状语成分，故空格处填所给动词的非谓语形式，Australia, India, and South Africa与include是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词。故答案为included
【46题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：除塞浦路斯、爱尔兰、马耳他和英国外，大多数欧洲国家都是靠右行驶。apart from是一个固定短语，意为：除......之外；且不说。故答案为from。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句引导词只能用that的用法。圭亚那是南美洲唯一一个靠左行驶的国家。分析可知空格所在的句子是一个定语从句且缺少主语，先行词是country，指物，且有the only修饰。故答案为that。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：加拿大过去是靠左行驶，但现在改为靠右行驶，以便与美国的边境通行更加容易。“make sb./sth.+形容词”是固定搭配，意为：使某人/某物……，根据语境可知此处指更加容易管理，空格前的more加多音节形容词构成改形容词的比较级，故空格处填形容词。故答案为manageable。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意：对于在道路不同侧面行驶的解释是历史性的。分析可知句子的谓语是is，故空格所在的部分是句子的主语，再结合空格前的定冠词the可知空格处填名词，此处作主语。故答案为explanation。
【50题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：英国的骑马者习惯走在马路的左手边，这样他们的右手就可以自由地向路人问好。passer-by意为：经过的人；过路者，可数名词，分析该空是介词to的宾语，此处不单指一个过路者，故用名词的复数。故答案为passers-by。

From the work I did during the summer vacation, I understand that money was not easy to earn. I felt it a shame to wasting food. For the old generation, we advocate saving money. Take my parents for an example, they save every cent they can. When they talk about traveling, they will hesitate and final give up because of money. However, I think reasonable consumption not only include the basic needs, also the amusement. Life is short. We should enjoy every moment and see different people and beautiful sceneries. Most people have the plan to save money, but if they take in a small part, life can be much happy.

4.an去掉
5.final→finally
6.include→includes
7.also前加but
8.sceneries→scenery

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是作者在暑假期间工作所得到的一些关于挣钱、浪费食物和生活娱乐的心得体会。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：从我在暑假期间所做的工作中，我了解到挣钱是不容易的。根据上文“From the work I did during the summer vacation”可知应用一般过去时。故understand改为understood。
2.考查固定短语。句意：我觉得浪费食物是可耻的。结合句意表示“做某事是可耻的”短语为a shame to do sth.。故wasting改为waste。
3.考查代词。句意：对于老一辈，他们提倡存钱。此处指上文For the old generation，应用代词they。故we改为they。
4.考查固定短语。句意：以我的父母为例，他们尽可能地节省每一分钱。结合句意表示“以某人为例”短语为take sb. for example。故an去掉。
5.考查副词。句意：当他们谈论旅行的时候，他们会犹豫，最后因为钱而放弃。修饰后文短语give up because of money，应用副词finally。故final改为finally。
6.考查主谓一致。句意：然而，我认为合理消费不仅包括基本需求，也包括娱乐。此处为一般现在时，主语为consumption，谓语用第三人称单数形式。故include改为includes。
7.考查固定短语。句意：然而，我认为合理消费不仅包括基本需求，也包括娱乐。结合句意表示“不仅……而且……”可知短语为not only…but also…。故also前加but。
8.考查名词。句意：我们应该享受每一刻，看到不同的人和美丽的风景。scenery表示“风景”时，为不可数名词，没有复数形式。故sceneries改为scenery。
9.考查介词。句意：大多数人都有存钱的计划，但如果他们拿出一小部分，生活就会更快乐。结合句意表示“拿出”可知短语为take out。故in改为out。
10.考查比较级。句意：大多数人都有存钱的计划，但如果他们拿出一小部分，生活就会更快乐。much修饰形容词比较级，表示“更快乐”happy应用比较级形式。故happy改为happier。
