In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies.During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.
When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava.The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims.He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered (递送) them.But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed (羞愧).“Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people.We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.
He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes.Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the_real_show was about to begin.The December flood affected them all.His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor.They lost phone connection and electricity.In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.
He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking.As word got out about this man's effort, others stepped out to join him.From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food.Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen.By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.

One North Carolina business owner is helping the homeless by opening up his parking lot to people who may be living out of their cars.
James Charles is the owner of Kiplin's Automotive Group in Charlotte, North Carolina.For about two months, he has been encouraging people sleeping in their cars to use the company's parking lot as a safe place to sleep at night.
Charles was first encouraged to do something helpful after his team tried to take back a woman's car back in January.
“The gentleman who was taking back the car said, ‘We can't take the car; there's somebody living in the car,’” Charles said.
Then he tried to get the woman into a homeless shelter (收容所).But he was shocked to find that every shelter in the city was full.Although he paid for her to stay in a hotel for a few nights, he knew that there were other people suffering from the same thing.
Charles made a post on the Internet: “We would like to provide a safe place for those going through this tough time.We can't put everyone in a hotel, but we can get you a safe place for the night.”
Since more and more people have shared his post, people have donated (捐赠) hats, scarves, food, and even an easy-to-move toilet for the parking lot.Not only that, but about 20 different people have helped Charles with his offer by parking their cars overnight at the lot.
These kind acts also made it possible for Charles to start his non-profit (非营利的) organization, HALO Now.The organization was set up to raise money for the homeless people of Charlotte — and he has raised more than $30,000.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了北卡罗莱纳州的一位租赁汽车公司的老板为无家可归的人提供了一个安全的停车和过夜的地方。
8.From the passage, we know Kiplin's Automotive Group ________.
A.may be a company that rents cars to people
B.is a company that rents a parking place
C.is a non-profit organization in North Carolina
D.may be an organization that offers homeless shelters
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“James Charles is the owner of Kiplin's Automotive Group in Charlotte, North Carolina.” 以及第三段内容可推知,凯普林汽车公司可能是一家向人们出租汽车的公司。故选A项。
9.Why did Charles provide the parking lot as a safe place for people to sleep
A.Because his parking lot was rented as a living place.
B.Because Charles wanted to show his kindness.
C.Because people had no place to park their cars.
D.Because many people had no place to go during a tough time.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“We would like to provide a safe place for those going through this tough time.We can't put everyone in a hotel, but we can get you a safe place for the night.”可知,查尔斯要把停车场作为人们睡觉的安全场所是因为很多人在困难时期没有地方过夜。故选D项。
10.What did Charles do to help the homeless
A.He asked people to donate online.
B.He shared the story through the Internet.
C.He gave out food to people living in their cars.
D.He built an easy-to-move toilet for the parking lot.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知,查尔斯通过互联网分享了这个故事来帮助无家可归的人。故选B项。
11.What is the passage mainly about
A.Parking lots can be safe places for people to live in the future.
B.Homeless people seek help through the Internet.
C.A company owner provides a safe place for the homeless to park and sleep.
D.The government uses parking lots to help the homeless settle down.
解析:选C 主旨大意题。根据第一段和第二段内容可知,詹姆斯·查尔斯是位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市的凯普林汽车公司的老板。大约两个月来,他一直鼓励睡在车里的人把公司的停车场作为晚上睡觉的安全场所。由此判断出短文主要是关于北卡罗莱纳州的一位租赁汽车公司的老板为无家可归的人提供了一个安全的停车和过夜的地方。故选C项。
D
In this modern age, most of us have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things.It often seems so easy to get what we want right away that when we have to wait even a little while, it seems like we are waiting for ages.We used to be happy to wait 10-15 minutes it took to reheat food in the oven (烤箱),but now we're impatient when waiting two minutes it takes in the microwave.
With the convenience provided by modern society, is patience still a virtue in the fast-paced world To begin with, I'd like to share the meaning of the word “patience”.Generally it means being able to tolerate delay without getting impatient.However, it isn't necessarily a passive activity.It takes an active behavior, knowing when to take action and when not to.
So I would argue that patience is still — and always — a virtue.Sure, I used to be one of those who often stared at the microwave for the full two minutes it took to heat my food.And in the end, the food tasted bad.If I had had the patience to heat the food properly in the oven, I would have enjoyed a delicious meal.
Actually the benefits of patience go beyond just heating up our food.Patience is an exercise in self-control which shows that we can exercise good judgment.Lack of patience can cause us to make wrong decisions that negatively affect our health and happiness, waste our time, put us under a lot of stress and affect our relationships in a very negative way.
Everything in life happens for a reason.Sometimes we face an obstacle (障碍) because we need to grow in ways we didn't realize.It's not always obvious when that was happening, but with patience we will soon see clearly why it occurred and what we were meant to learn from it.
Taking time to think about our actions and being patient are a small price to pay when we determine the best possible solution to any problems.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。作者通过举例现代人缺乏耐心,论述了耐心仍旧是一种美德,是处理问题、做出正确决定所必需的品德,并倡议人们要有耐心。
12.The author uses the example of reheating food to show that________.
A.more people lack patience now
B.high technology brings more benefits
C.people have no time to enjoy the meal
D.the fast-paced life makes people stressed
解析:选A 推理判断题。第一段第一句“In this modern age, most of us have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things.”提到在这个时代,我们中的大多数人都忘记了耐心,并很快就会因为小事而生气,下文举例“We used to be happy to wait 10-15 minutes it took to reheat food in the oven(烤箱),but now we're impatient when waiting two minutes it takes in the microwave.”,因此推断作者使用加热食物的例子是为了表明现在更多的人缺乏耐心。故选A。
13.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4
A.People under stress are more likely to get angry.
B.Patient people are less likely to meet difficulties.
C.People with self-control are easier to succeed.
D.Patient people tend to make better decisions.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Patience is an exercise in self-control which shows that we can exercise good judgment.Lack of patience can cause us to make wrong decisions”可推断,有耐心的人往往会做出更好的决定。故选D。
14.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5
A.A wise man learns from experience.
B.A brave man is not afraid of challenges.
C.A man should be patient to deal with difficulties.
D.A man should find out reasons for things occurred.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Sometimes we face ...learn from it.”可推断,一个人应该耐心地处理困难。故选C。
15.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The causes of impatience
B.Is patience really a virtue
C.Ways to exercise patience
D.What does the word patience mean
解析:选B 标题归纳题。文章第一段作者提出现代人缺乏耐心,二、三段阐述耐心是一种美德;第四段阐述耐心的益处;第五段阐述处理困难要有耐心;第六段阐述做决定需要耐心。因此推断文章主要阐述耐心是一种美德。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gratitude is not only an art performed in daily life, but also part of our traditional virtue.Has your mother or friend told you that you're an ungrateful person Do you feel unable to appreciate the world or people around you Are you obsessed with things you don't have instead of being thankful for what you do have __16__, then you will definitely need to work on being a more grateful person.
Showing gratitude has been put forward in the last few decades.__17__. But there are still some tips that help make it possible for you to practice gratitude.
Refusing to play the victim is the first step you're supposed to take.__18__. If you want to be grateful, stop complaining the world, your teachers, your friends and your family about not putting themselves in your shoes, and focus on how much they've helped and cared about you.
Volunteering in your community is another effective way to show how grateful you are for what the world has given you.Whether you're helping clean up a local park, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching children or adults in your community to learn to read, your perspective towards life will change positively.__19__.
__20__. You shouldn't always be good only to your close friends or family members.You can help a neighbor look for a lost dog.You can also help an old lady carry her grocery.You don't have to search for these opportunities purposely.Sometimes they will present themselves.So when they come, act with generosity.You'll be more grateful for your role played in the world.
A.However hard you try to avoid these questions
B.If you find yourself involved in one of these circumstances
C.Gradually, you'll be more grateful for the chances to repay the society
D.Doing a random act of kindness is also a great way of practicing gratitude
E.While such encouragement is morally meaningful,it seems to be a little abstract
F.Ungrateful persons are always blaming the world for the problems and owing all the faults to others
G.When you reflect on your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, you are actually reflecting on your values
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。感恩是我们传统美德的一部分。文章主要给我们介绍了一些如何做一个感恩的人的建议。
16.选B 根据空前“Has your mother or friend ...what you do have?”和空后“then you will definitely need to work on being a more grateful person”可知,根据前面提出的三种情况,如果你发现你符合其中的一条,那么你肯定需要做一个更感恩的人。故选B。
17.选E 根据前句“Showing gratitude has been put forward in the last few decades.”和后句“But there are still some tips that help make it possible for you to practice gratitude.”的转折可知,鼓励表达感激之情在道德上是有意义的,但它似乎有点抽象。故选E。
18.选F 根据前句“Refusing to play the victim is the first step you're supposed to take”和后句“If you want to be grateful ...cared about you.”可知,不感恩的人总是把问题归咎于世界,并把所有的错误都归咎于他人。故选F。
19.选C 空前的句子说,通过在社区做志愿者,表达你对世界给予你的感激之情,也可以对生活的看法发生积极的变化。由此可知,渐渐地,你会更加感激回报社会的机会。故选C。
20.选D 此句是本段主题句。对比前三段主题句及后面的句子“You can help a neighbor ...will present themselves.”可知,帮助别人并不是有目的寻找机会,帮助别人应该是做一些偶然碰到的事情。由此可知,做一个随意的善行也是一个练习感恩的好方法。故选D。
第二部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了一个人看见一群大象被一根小绳子拴住,但却没有挣脱,于是他向驯兽师询问原因,驯兽师告诉他这群大象从小就这样被拴着,所以它们一直认为它们没法挣脱,进而悟出一个道理:人们不能因为一次失败就放弃斗争,因为失败也是学习的一部分,我们要继续斗争,才会摆脱束缚。
21.A.disappointed B.annoyed

Friendship is indispensable (不可缺少的) to people's life.A man without friends is like an angel without wings, __36__ life will suffer in the long tolerance (容忍) of loneliness and __37__ (sad).Friendship is the mother of our soul, who will warm her kid if hurt __38__ (occur).We have many things such as happiness, excitement and bitterness, to share with our friends in life.Thus, it is important ___39__ (maintain) a true friendship.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是友谊是人们生活中不可或缺的,没有朋友的人就像没有翅膀的天使;还讲述了友谊的重要性,介绍了保持友谊的方法。
36.whose 考查定语从句。分析句子结构并结合空前的逗号可知,空处引导一个非限定性定语从句,先行词为a man,且关系代词在从句中修饰life,所以用关系代词whose,故填whose。
37.sadness 考查名词。根据and可知,空处应用名词形式与loneliness并列作宾语,故填sadness。
38.occurs 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由will warm可知主句时态为一般将来时,结合if引导的条件状语从句时态应遵循“主将从现”原则,所以从句的时态为一般现在时,主语hurt为单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,故填occurs。
39.to maintain 考查非谓语动词。根据it is important可知此处为it is+adj.+to do sth.的结构,it为形式主语,代替后面的不定式,即真正的主语,所以此处应用动词不定式,故填to maintain。
40.Understanding 考查动名词。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少主语,结合句意可知应用动名词understanding(理解)作主语,空处位于句首,首字母大写,故填Understanding。
41.an 考查冠词。句意:只有当我们更好地了解彼此,我们才能获得一份纯真并且有意义的友谊。根据句意以及形容词authentic (真实的) and meaningful可知,此处为抽象名词具体化,表示“一份……的友谊”,空后的authentic的发音为元音音素开头,故填an。
42.in 考查介词。句意:当他或她遇到麻烦时,不要犹豫,向你的朋友展示你的善良。固定短语“in trouble”表示“遇到麻烦,在困难中”,故填in。
43.which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导一个定语从句,先行词为quality,指物,从句缺少主语,所以用which或that,故填which/that。
44.third 考查序数词。根据上文内容可知交朋友的两个品质是理解和爱,所以此处表达的是第三种品质:宽容。故填third。
45.definitely 考查副词。句意:我们绝对是不同的人。根据句意以及空后的形容词different可知此处应用副词形式,作状语修饰形容词different,故填definitely。

Dear students,

参考范文:
Dear students,
As everybody can see in our school,many students don't have good behavior.They don't get up early and are late for school.They throw rubbish randomly and park their bicycles anywhere as they like.What's worse,they don't behave according to the etiquette rules.
I think it's high time that we should develop good behavior habits when studying at school.For one thing,good habits have a key effect on our characters,which will determine our future.For another thing,good habits are symbols of Chinese traditional virtues, which we are responsible to spread to the world.
Dear friends,if we take action to change our behavior right away,we can make a big difference in the future.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once there was a little girl Lily who was very friendly and popular in her class. She was friends with everyone in her class. There was no one in class who did not like her. She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.
On Friendship Day, her class organized an event, in which everyone had to make three presents and give them to their best friends. Lily was really looking forward to the coming Friendship Day as she was expecting gifts from her friends. However, when all the presents were shared among her classmates, she was the only one who hadn't received any presents. She felt terrible and cried a lot. She wondered how that was possible. She had made so much effort to be friends with everyone but in the end no one thought of her as one of their best friends.
Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while but each one only stayed for a short time before leaving. This was exactly what Lily had done so many times to others.
On that day when she got home, her mother saw her sad face. And then her mother asked her the reason for her sadness. “Where can I find true friends?” Lily asked. Her mother was surprised at her question. Then she asked Lily what had happened in school. Her mother comfort her and said, “You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and love. For a true friend you must always be available, in good times and bad.”
Lily replied, “But I want to be friends with everyone!”

Paragraph 1:
Her mother shook her head.She said, “My dear, you are a lovely girl but you can't be a close friend to everybody.There just isn't enough time available for everyone, so it's only possible to have a few true friends.The others will be playmates but they won't be close friends.” Hearing this Lily realized that although she was a good classmate, she had not been a true friend to anyone.She had tried not to argue with anyone and she had tried to pay attention to everyone but now she had found out that was not enough to create true friendships.
Paragraph 2:
Lily decided to change her ways and thought how she could make true friends. Just thinking about that, she realized her mother was always willing to help her.She put up with all of Lily's dislikes and problems, she always forgave her and she loved her a great deal.Lily smiled from ear to ear.She realized that she already had the best friend anyone could ever want.UNIT 2 单元验收评价(二)——仿真高考检测

One North Carolina business owner is helping the homeless by opening up his parking lot to people who may be living out of their cars.
James Charles is the owner of Kiplin's Automotive Group in Charlotte, North Carolina.For about two months, he has been encouraging people sleeping in their cars to use the company's parking lot as a safe place to sleep at night.
Charles was first encouraged to do something helpful after his team tried to take back a woman's car back in January.
“The gentleman who was taking back the car said, ‘We can't take the car; there's somebody living in the car,’” Charles said.
Then he tried to get the woman into a homeless shelter (收容所).But he was shocked to find that every shelter in the city was full.Although he paid for her to stay in a hotel for a few nights, he knew that there were other people suffering from the same thing.
Charles made a post on the Internet: “We would like to provide a safe place for those going through this tough time.We can't put everyone in a hotel, but we can get you a safe place for the night.”
Since more and more people have shared his post, people have donated (捐赠) hats, scarves, food, and even an easy-to-move toilet for the parking lot.Not only that, but about 20 different people have helped Charles with his offer by parking their cars overnight at the lot.
These kind acts also made it possible for Charles to start his non-profit (非营利的) organization, HALO Now.The organization was set up to raise money for the homeless people of Charlotte — and he has raised more than $30,000.

In this modern age, most of us have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things.It often seems so easy to get what we want right away that when we have to wait even a little while, it seems like we are waiting for ages.We used to be happy to wait 10-15 minutes it took to reheat food in the oven (烤箱),but now we're impatient when waiting two minutes it takes in the microwave.
With the convenience provided by modern society, is patience still a virtue in the fast-paced world To begin with, I'd like to share the meaning of the word “patience”.Generally it means being able to tolerate delay without getting impatient.However, it isn't necessarily a passive activity.It takes an active behavior, knowing when to take action and when not to.
So I would argue that patience is still — and always — a virtue.Sure, I used to be one of those who often stared at the microwave for the full two minutes it took to heat my food.And in the end, the food tasted bad.If I had had the patience to heat the food properly in the oven, I would have enjoyed a delicious meal.
Actually the benefits of patience go beyond just heating up our food.Patience is an exercise in self-control which shows that we can exercise good judgment.Lack of patience can cause us to make wrong decisions that negatively affect our health and happiness, waste our time, put us under a lot of stress and affect our relationships in a very negative way.
Everything in life happens for a reason.Sometimes we face an obstacle (障碍) because we need to grow in ways we didn't realize.It's not always obvious when that was happening, but with patience we will soon see clearly why it occurred and what we were meant to learn from it.
Taking time to think about our actions and being patient are a small price to pay when we determine the best possible solution to any problems.
12.The author uses the example of reheating food to show that________.
A.more people lack patience now
B.high technology brings more benefits
C.people have no time to enjoy the meal
D.the fast-paced life makes people stressed
13.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4
A.People under stress are more likely to get angry.
B.Patient people are less likely to meet difficulties.
C.People with self-control are easier to succeed.
D.Patient people tend to make better decisions.
14.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5
A.A wise man learns from experience.
B.A brave man is not afraid of challenges.
C.A man should be patient to deal with difficulties.
D.A man should find out reasons for things occurred.
15.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The causes of impatience
B.Is patience really a virtue
C.Ways to exercise patience
D.What does the word patience mean

She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.
