Several weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map.
Google Maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.
As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, "When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today's classroom. "
As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd "seen". Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.
Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse "big picture" thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.
So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.
4. How did the children react when they were given the paper map
A. They showed great curiosity.
B. They seemed totally confused.
C. They considered it old-fashioned.
D. They found it less convenient than GPS.
5. What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir
A. The teaching focus in today's classroom.
B. The situations where paper maps are used.
C. The necessity of digital maps in the modem world.
D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.
6. Which of the following shows the author's opinion
A. Internet connections are very reliable today.
B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.
C. Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision.
D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.
7. What would be the best tide for the text
A. Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps.
B. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of Maps.
C. Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger World.
D. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper Maps.

Rising global meat consumption is likely to have a destructive environmental effect, increasing carbon emissions(排放)and reducing biodiversitiy (生物多样性), scientists have warned.
A new analysis suggests that meat consumption is set to climb sharply as the world population increases along with average individual incomes.
“What's happening is a big concern.” said Tim Key from the University of Oxford. “On a broad level you can say it is bad for the environment.”
The review,published in the journal Science, found that high levels of meat consumption also have negative health consequences, leading to an increased risk of cancer and other diseases.
The average amount of meat consumed per person globally has nearly doubled in the past 50 years which means total meat production has been growing much faster than the rate of population growth, having increased four-or five-fold(五倍)since 1961.
There are recent indications that some countries,including the U.K.,may have reached "peak meat". The U.K's 2017 National Food Survey found meat consumption have fallen by 4.2% and that of meat products by nearly 7% since 2012. However, middle-income countries, particularly China and others in East Asia, are still seeing a rise. A recent review by the UN outlines how meat production-particularly livestock(家畜)-is linked to far higher carbon emissions than vegetables, fruit and grain.
Livestock farming is also a major contribution to biodiversity loss, as forests and wild land are given over to agricultural land to grow animal feed.
Processed meat has been ranked by the WHO alongside alcohol and tobacco as cancer causes. According to research of cancer, if no one ate processed or red meat in Britain, there would be 8,800 fewer cases of cancer a year.
8. What's the environmental effect of eating meat
A. Raising livestock may destroy grasslands and forests.
B. Eating meat leads to the increase of human population.
C. Meat production adds to the amount of carbon emissions on Earth.
D. Keeping too much livestock destroys the balance of nature.
9. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Eating huge amounts of meat.
B. Increasing carbon emissions in the air.
C. Reducing diversity of plants.
D. Risking developing cancer.
10. How does livestock lead to biodiversity loss
A. People farm forests and wild land to grow food for livestock.
B. Plants and animals die from carbon released by livestock.
C. Many plants and animals have become food for livestock.
D. Farm animals have consumed what humans use for food.
11. How does the WHO value processed meat
A. It's a necessary part of human diet.
B. It's like cigarettes and alcohol which can cause cancer.
C. It can reduce carbon release.
D. It contributes to the fall of meat consumption.
D
Singapore uses about two billion liters of water every day-a number it expects could double in the next four decades.
That kind of consumption is adding pressure to the Asian city state to address growing concerns about global water shortage. So it's building new technology to prepare itself for a future where obtaining clean water will be even more difficult. "Singapore truly has become a global water center,"said Shane Snyder,executive director of the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. “But as it stands, it imports approximately 40% of its water today. And with climate change,that water has become far less dependable.”
Singapore, meanwhile, is home to more than five million people and is covered in fountains,reservoirs and other water features-including the world's tallest indoor waterfall, The Rain Vortex that pumps about 45,000 liters of water per minute. But it has no natural water sources of its own,instead relying heavily on recycled water and imports from its neighbors.
Snyder's research facility is one of several places developing solutions for Singapore's water dependency. The hope is to create projects that could be used across the city. "What we have become used to as reliable water may quickly change-so we have to be prepared,and we have to be thinking about the basic facilities in advance. " Snyder said. " There's a big drive to become water independent-to control our own future -and that is largely dependent on the technologies we're developing. "
Another company,Wateroam, is already taking innovation from Singapore to the rest of the region. Founded in 2014,Wateroam says it has developed a lightweight,portable filtration(过滤)device that has already provided clean drinking water to more than 75,000 people across Southeast Asia. Wateroam CEO David Pong said one of the most innovative aspects of the product is its simplicity. The water filtration device is no bigger than a bicycle pump,yet it can provide clean water to villages of 100 people for up to two years.
"We've been very blessed to have access to clean drinking water," Pong said. It's necessary to bring the privilege to the rest of the region, and advocate that clean water is an essential aspect for life on Earth,according to him.
12. What worsens the water shortage problem in Singapore
A. More water imports. B. The lack of technology.
C. The increasing population. D. Double water consumption.
13 How can water crisis in Singapore be eased
A. Searching for natural water sources.
B. Controlling the increase of population.
C. Importing water from more neighbors.
D. Using technologies to provide clean water.
14. What do we know about the filtration device from Paragraph 5
A. It is easy to carry and use.
B. It is larger than a bicycle pump.
C. It has already been used across Asia.
D. It has already been in use for two years.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Clean water is an essential aspect for life on Earth.
B. Technology can help Singapore out with its water shortage.
C. The increasing water consumption is adding pressure to Singapore.
D. Singapore's filtration device has provided many people with clean water.

It was yearbook day and I rushed into the hall madly. I had waited nearly a week for my chance to see my picture in the school publication. I was a freshman in high school and we each had an hour to sign each other's yearbooks. I sat down at a table, waiting for people to start coming over in groups to get their yearbooks signed and to sign mine. A boy came up to where I was sitting. I had seen him around. He had buckteeth(龅牙),and wore a pair of glasses. He rocked back and forth nervously and seemed painfully unsure of himself. He was so pale that it hurt to look at him. I was not entirely sure what was wrong with him,but I knew he spent his time with a special helper because he couldn't do everything himself. Little did I know that this boy would completely change my life.
He came up to me nervously, asking in an almost pleading(恳求的)way,"Can you sign this "
I looked at my friends who just looked at me and shrugged. To tell the truth, I didn't want to do that because of his appearance.
Thinking for a few seconds,I took his yearbook, not knowing what to write. I saw that there was the name "Ricky Sanders" printed on the front cover. So I wrote:
Ricky, I think you're a really nice kid, and I hope you have a great summer. Have lots of fun during the break.
---Will
I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of the others when I noticed my yearbook was gone. I looked around and saw Ricky sitting at the end of the table with my yearbook in his hands.
“What are you doing ” I asked.
He looked up calmly and just said,“Sign!”I saw that he was trying to put a signature in my yearbook. It took him nearly five minutes and when I got my yearbook back, there was a “RICKY” written in capital letters.
Paragraph 1
Ricky handed me my yearbook and smiled, really happy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
It was amazing,and Ricky was excited.

Several weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map.
Google Maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.
As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, "When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today's classroom. "
As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd "seen". Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.
Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse "big picture" thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.
So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.
4. How did the children react when they were given the paper map
A. They showed great curiosity.
B. They seemed totally confused.
C. They considered it old-fashioned.
D. They found it less convenient than GPS.
5. What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir
A. The teaching focus in today's classroom.
B. The situations where paper maps are used.
C. The necessity of digital maps in the modem world.
D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.
6. Which of the following shows the author's opinion
A. Internet connections are very reliable today.
B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.
C. Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision.
D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.
7. What would be the best tide for the text
A. Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps.
B. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of Maps.
C. Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger World.
D. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper Maps.

Rising global meat consumption is likely to have a destructive environmental effect, increasing carbon emissions(排放)and reducing biodiversitiy (生物多样性), scientists have warned.
A new analysis suggests that meat consumption is set to climb sharply as the world population increases along with average individual incomes.
“What's happening is a big concern.” said Tim Key from the University of Oxford. “On a broad level you can say it is bad for the environment.”
The review,published in the journal Science, found that high levels of meat consumption also have negative health consequences, leading to an increased risk of cancer and other diseases.
The average amount of meat consumed per person globally has nearly doubled in the past 50 years, which means total meat production has been growing much faster than the rate of population growth, having increased four-or five-fold(五倍)since 1961.
There are recent indications that some countries,including the U.K.,may have reached "peak meat". The U.K's 2017 National Food Survey found meat consumption have fallen by 4.2% and that of meat products by nearly 7% since 2012. However, middle-income countries, particularly China and others in East Asia, are still seeing a rise. A recent review by the UN outlines how meat production-particularly livestock(家畜)-is linked to far higher carbon emissions than vegetables, fruit and grain.
Livestock farming is also a major contribution to biodiversity loss, as forests and wild land are given over to agricultural land to grow animal feed.
Processed meat has been ranked by the WHO alongside alcohol and tobacco as cancer causes. According to research of cancer, if no one ate processed or red meat in Britain, there would be 8,800 fewer cases of cancer a year.
8. What's the environmental effect of eating meat
A. Raising livestock may destroy grasslands and forests.
B. Eating meat leads to the increase of human population.
C. Meat production adds to the amount of carbon emissions on Earth.
D. Keeping too much livestock destroys the balance of nature.
9. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Eating huge amounts of meat.
B. Increasing carbon emissions in the air.
C. Reducing diversity of plants.
D. Risking developing cancer.
10. How does livestock lead to biodiversity loss
A. People farm forests and wild land to grow food for livestock.
B. Plants and animals die from carbon released by livestock.
C. Many plants and animals have become food for livestock.
D. Farm animals have consumed what humans use for food.
11. How does the WHO value processed meat
A. It's a necessary part of human diet.
B. It's like cigarettes and alcohol which can cause cancer.
C. It can reduce carbon release.
D. It contributes to the fall of meat consumption.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“A new analysis suggests that meat consumption is set to climb sharply as the world population increases along with average individual incomes.(一项新的分析表明,随着世界人口的增加和个人平均收入的增加,肉类消费量将大幅攀升)”中的meat consumption is set to climb sharply可知,第三段中的it指代的是“不断上升的肉类消耗量”,即不断上升的肉类消耗量对环境是有害的。A项“吃大量的肉”符合题意。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Livestock farming is also a major contribution to biodiversity loss, as forests and wild land are given over to agricultural land to grow animal feed.(畜牧业也是造成生物多样性丧失的一个主要原因,因为森林和荒地被用于种植动物饲料)”可知,森林和荒地被用于种植动物饲料导致造成生物多样性的丧失。故选A项。
【11题详解】

Singapore uses about two billion liters of water every day-a number it expects could double in the next four decades.
That kind of consumption is adding pressure to the Asian city state to address growing concerns about global water shortage. So it's building new technology to prepare itself for a future where obtaining clean water will be even more difficult. "Singapore truly has become a global water center"said Shane Snyder,executive director of the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. “But as it stands, it imports approximately 40% of its water today. And with climate change,that water has become far less dependable.”
Singapore, meanwhile, is home to more than five million people and is covered in fountains,reservoirs and other water features-including the world's tallest indoor waterfall, The Rain Vortex that pumps about 45,000 liters of water per minute. But it has no natural water sources of its own,instead relying heavily on recycled water and imports from its neighbors.
Snyder's research facility is one of several places developing solutions for Singapore's water dependency. The hope is to create projects that could be used across the city. "What we have become used to as reliable water may quickly change-so we have to be prepared,and we have to be thinking about the basic facilities in advance. " Snyder said. " There's a big drive to become water independent-to control our own future -and that is largely dependent on the technologies we're developing. "
Another company,Wateroam, is already taking innovation from Singapore to the rest of the region. Founded in 2014,Wateroam says it has developed a lightweight,portable filtration(过滤)device that has already provided clean drinking water to more than 75,000 people across Southeast Asia. Wateroam CEO David Pong said one of the most innovative aspects of the product is its simplicity. The water filtration device is no bigger than a bicycle pump,yet it can provide clean water to villages of 100 people for up to two years.
"We've been very blessed to have access to clean drinking water," Pong said. It's necessary to bring the privilege to the rest of the region, and advocate that clean water is an essential aspect for life on Earth,according to him.
12. What worsens the water shortage problem in Singapore
A. More water imports. B. The lack of technology.
C. The increasing population. D. Double water consumption.
13. How can water crisis in Singapore be eased
A. Searching for natural water sources.
B. Controlling the increase of population.
C. Importing water from more neighbors.
D. Using technologies to provide clean water.
14. What do we know about the filtration device from Paragraph 5
A. It is easy to carry and use.
B. It is larger than a bicycle pump.
C. It has already been used across Asia.
D. It has already been in use for two years.
15. What is the main idea of the text

47. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。续写短文的词数应为150左右。
It was yearbook day and I rushed into the hall madly. I had waited nearly a week for my chance to see my picture in the school publication. I was a freshman in high school and we each had an hour to sign each other's yearbooks. I sat down at a table, waiting for people to start coming over in groups to get their yearbooks signed and to sign mine. A boy came up to where I was sitting. I had seen him around. He had buckteeth(龅牙),and wore a pair of glasses. He rocked back and forth nervously and seemed painfully unsure of himself. He was so pale that it hurt to look at him. I was not entirely sure what was wrong with him,but I knew he spent his time with a special helper because he couldn't do everything himself. Little did I know that this boy would completely change my life.
He came up to me nervously, asking in an almost pleading(恳求的)way,"Can you sign this "
I looked at my friends who just looked at me and shrugged. To tell the truth, I didn't want to do that because of his appearance.
Thinking for a few seconds,I took his yearbook, not knowing what to write. I saw that there was the name "Ricky Sanders" printed on the front cover. So I wrote:
Ricky, I think you're a really nice kid, and I hope you have a great summer. Have lots of fun during the break.
---Will
I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of the others when I noticed my yearbook was gone. I looked around and saw Ricky sitting at the end of the table with my yearbook in his hands.
“What are you doing ” I asked.
He looked up calmly and just said,“Sign!”I saw that he was trying to put a signature in my yearbook. It took him nearly five minutes and when I got my yearbook back, there was a “RICKY” written in capital letters.
Paragraph 1
Ricky handed me my yearbook and smiled, really happy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
It was amazing,and Ricky was excited.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Ricky handed me my yearbook and smiled really happy. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. Just at that moment, my mood changed completely. I had never expected to have any connection with a boy like him but felt something warm and touching in his smile. I gave him a huge hug. Suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. Soon, many people in the hall asked Ricky to sign in their yearbooks. His yearbook wasn't going unsigned, either. "You're cool, Ricky! " "Have a wonderful summer, Ricky! "and the like filled up the signature pages of his yearbook.
Paragraph 2:
It was amazing, and Ricky was excited. His smile was so big that it lit up the hall. That's when I saw his special helper standing not very far away from the table. She was drying tears from her eyes and smiling. She looked at me and mouthed the words, “Thank you. ” I nodded to her, looked at Ricky and spoke softly, “Thank you, too. ” Honestly, I had never realised before that a small action could make such a difference. It was Ricky who taught me that.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ricky总是被人嘲笑,在年鉴日上不自信怕没人为他签名,他紧张的问作者能否在他的年鉴上签名,作者原本因为他的外貌不想答应,但最后还是答应了,然后在作者的同意下,他也在作者的年鉴上签了名。
【详解】1.段落续写
由第一段首句内容“瑞奇递给我我的年鉴,笑了,真的很高兴。”可知,第一段可描写作者被瑞奇的笑容感动,除了在年鉴上签名,还给了他一个拥抱,以至于每个人都为瑞奇签了名。
由第二段首句内容“这太神奇了,瑞奇很兴奋。”可知,第二段可描写瑞奇的开心的让作者明白一个小小的善举就能帮助一个人。
2.续写线索:找签名—害怕被拒绝—互相签名—帮助—感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
冲进:rush into/hurry into
靠近:come up to/approach
看:look at/stare at
情绪类
紧张的来回走动:back and forth nervously/ back and forth anxiously
平静地抬起头来:looked up calmly /raise his head quietly

【高分句型2】I saw that he was trying to put a signature in my yearbook. (运用了that引导宾语从句)
