My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. "Do I know you " he asked. "Yes, sir, you do know me," I answered excitedly. "My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English." The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
"I’m so glad I had a chance to see you," I said. "And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share." I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. "The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well," I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
24.Why did the author want to hide
A. Because he felt sorry for himself. B. Because he hated being laughed at.
C. Because he couldn’t read at all. D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.
25.Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech
A. Considerate and dutiful. B. Demanding and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Friendly and ambitious.
26.Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.
27.What can we infer from the passage
A. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.
B. Dyslexia made the author unable to read.
C. The author had become an active speaker.
D. Mr. Creech taught two Anthony Hamiltons.
C
Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers’ arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
28.What has Steven Stein been hired to do
A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
29.What does the word "headwinds" in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
30.What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers
A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy.
31.What is the best title for the text
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
D
Fires sweeping across the Amazon rainforest this year have been a hot topic as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen the climate change crisis and threaten biodiversity.
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest is often called "the lungs of the world". It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million native people. The vast areas of the rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, ensuring that less carbon dioxide is released, mitigating the effects of climate change.
"Any destroyed forest is a threat to biodiversity and people," Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. "The overwhelming threat is that a lot of carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere," he stressed. "In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon rainforest must be protected," U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year compared to the same period last year. A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018, INPE said. "We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest have decreased by between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months," Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of S o Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, whose degradation (恶化) could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall. The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has transcended (超出) Brazil’s borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.
32.What does the underlined word "mitigating" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Increasing. B. Relieving.
C. Ignoring. D. Improving.
33.What can we learn from Thomas’s and António’s words
A. The biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.
B. The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
C. The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
D. The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
34.Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 4
A. To prove the importance of the rainforest.
B. To show reasons for forest fires.
C. To explain the process of the research.
D. To present the reduction in rainforest areas.
35.What does this passage mainly talk about
A. The climate change crisis is worsening.
B. The forest areas are on the decline.
C. "The lungs of the earth" is burning.
D. The world’s ecosystem is under attack.

The word “pub” is short for public house. There are around 60,000 pubs in the UK. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.
__36__ People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there. Pubs often have two bars, one usually quieter than the other, and many have a garden where people can sit in summer. Children can go into pub gardens with their parents.
Groups of friends normally buy “rounds”of drinks. __37__ It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy: the bar staff will usually try and serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first.
Most pubs often have a complete range of beers, local and imported, with German, Belgian and French beers being in demand. __38__ As a matter of fact, pubs sell soft drinks, too.
The legal age to purchase alcohol is 18 in the UK.

My days always started with a two-to four-mile run on a nearby greenway. For about two years, I had a very faithful running partner. This giant, orange tabby cat was probably the gentlest cat I had ever encountered. He would see me climbing the hill and join in, running alongside me for about a quarter mile until he meowed enough to get me to stop and pet him. A few minutes later, when I attempted to restart my run, he would wind around my ankles to keep me longer. Although he was a rather fat fellow, I always brought him some cat food.
On fair-weather afternoons, I would pick up my four-year-old granddaughter from pre-school and we would visit the tabby cat together. She would insist on bringing him an afternoon treat. Before long, he started winding around her little ankles as well.
One day, while my granddaughter was pouring out the plastic baggie full of cat chow mixed with leftover chicken, she brought up a good point. She cried out, “We've got to call them something!” My granddaughter stepped back and, deep in thought, studied the cat carefully as he enjoyed the remains of her Happy Meal. Then she announced, “I've got it! Tom Tom! ”
All the regular runners, walkers, bikers and visitors to the greenway soon came to know the big, friendly orange tabby as "Tom Tom". My granddaughter loved the cat. She looked forward to our greenway walks and visiting Tom Tom, something simple that the two of us did together. With her birthday approaching, I wanted to do something extra special. I cooperated with a local college art student and produced a self-published children's book for my granddaughter about our greenway friend. My only real intent was to print a copy or two for her birthday, so I was pleasantly surprised when several copies were sold! Soon, Tom Tom became the most famous cat in town!

第一节 应用文
I know many singers, such as Wang li-hong, Zhou jie-lun and Michael Jackson and so on. But I like Michael Jackson best.
I recognized Michael Jackson on occasion. There was a poem recitation competition in my class. I had to look for a song about peace. Finally I found "Heal the World", which was Michael Jackson's famous work. I liked it at once at the first sound of it and I thought it was the best song that I had ever heard.
Since then I began to know more about Michael Jackson and began to love him. He was named "King of Pop". I love him, because he was not only a singer but also a loving person.
第二节 读后续写
Paragraph 1:
On a Friday in January, the forecast was calling for a snowstorm. I went to the greenway and left extra cat food in case that I was unable to make it back out for a few days. Later that night, as I watched the almost disaster-like conditions, my heart sank as I thought of my greenway partner. More than a foot and a half of snow blanketed the ground after the storm passed, which was far more than had been predicted. Tom Tom was found the next day trapped under a bridge between two high piles of snow and ice. I was so thankful he was alive! At this point, I knew what I had to do.
Paragraph 2:
Tom Tom has been part of our family for the past three years. Of all the cats I have ever had, I can honestly say that he has taught me the most. Much like a faithful dog, Tom Tom listens for my car to pull up in the driveway. I can sometimes see him jumping down from his upstairs lookout window and hear him running down the steps as I'm unlocking the door, making sure he beats me to the kitchen by the time I enter. As I sit at my desk finishing this passage of my faithful running partner, I realize that he chose me, not the other way around and I'm so glad he did.
答案解析：
阅读理解
A篇是一篇应用文，主题语境为人与自然之旅游类。本文介绍了费城适合一家人一起去的四个旅游景点。
21. B。推理判断题。根据第二段Visitors can relax in a hammock, play on the playgrounds, and play games
like table tennis and giant chess可知，这个地方能吸引想要好好放松的人去度假。
22. A。细节理解题。根据第四段Big Bird, Elmo and the other stars of Sesame Street come out and play at
Sesame Place可知选A。
23. C。推理判断题。由第一段可知，本文主要推荐一些适合一家人去玩乐的地方。
B篇是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者13岁时还不会诵读，遇到了老师Creech后,在老师的鼓励和帮助下学会了诵读。成年后，作者再次遇到了这位老师，作者希望老师继续鼓励有类似情况的学生。
24.C。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的"I couldn’t read"并结合第一段第二、三句可知，作者想躲藏是因为他不会诵读。
25.A。推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的"Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read"可推知，Creech老师是一个体贴的、尽职的人。
26.D。推理判断题。根据第一段第二句中的"I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak"和最后一段尾句中的"a lack of desire for education"可推知，作者在遇到Creech老师之前不会诵读是因为缺乏学习诵读的内在动力。
27.A。推理判断题。根据第二段Creech老师对作者的帮助和第三、四段作者成年后再次遇到老师的反应可推知，作者非常感激Creech老师。
C篇是一篇议论文，主要讲述了塑料袋和可重复使用纸袋的情况。
28.D。推理判断题。根据第一段中的"is defending an industry"和第二段中的"like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume"可推知，Stein是一个为塑料业，特别是支持塑料袋使用而发声的科学家，故选D。
29.A。词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的"The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California， including Los Angeles"可知，在加利福尼亚州，包括洛杉矶在内的约90个城市已经禁止使用塑料袋，再根据画线词下文的内容可知，画线词指代上文提到的禁止使用塑料袋，故选A。
30.D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的"However， longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make"可知，生产可重复使用的袋子需要消耗更多的能源，故选D。
31.A。标题判断题。根据最后一段中的"Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too"，并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了塑料袋和可重复使用纸袋的利弊。故A项能很好地概括全文。
D篇是一篇说明文。科学家和环保组织担心席卷亚马孙雨林的火灾将加剧气候变化危机，威胁生物多样性。2019年,位于巴西的部分亚马孙雨林火灾数量显著增加。
32.B。考查词义猜测。根据第二段第三、四句可知，大片的热带雨林在世界生态系统中扮演着重要的角色，因为它们吸收热量，而没让热量被反射回大气中；热带雨林还储存二氧化碳并制造氧气，以确保更少的二氧化碳被释放。由此可知，热带雨林能够减轻气候变化带来的影响。故可推知画线词的含义与"relieving"的含义接近。
33. B。考查推理判断。根据第三段中Thomas所说的话"Any destroyed forest is a threat to biodiversity and people"以及António所说的话"In the midst of the global climate crisis， we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity"可知， Thomas认为任何森林的破坏对生物多样性和人们都是一种威胁，António认为在全球气候危机的情况下，我们承担不起氧气和生物多样性的主要来源(即亚马孙雨林)被更多破坏的后果。由此可推知，两人意在表明，雨林的火灾导致了严重的后果。
34. D。考查推理判断。根据第四段第一句中的"the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased"和第三句中的"the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest have decreased by between 20 and 30 percent"可推知，第四段列举数字是为了说明，由于森林火灾的影响，亚马孙雨林的面积减少了一些。故选D。
35. C。考查主旨大意。文章第一段为文章的总述部分，表明今年席卷亚马孙雨林的火灾将加剧气候变化危机，威胁生物多样性；第二至第五段介绍了亚马孙雨林的火灾对生物多样性以及森林面积等的影响，其中第四段又突出强调亚马孙雨林的火灾数量显著增加。由此可知C项符合题意。
七选五是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国酒馆的相关信息。
36. B。空处为段落主题句。从文章第二段尤其是空后一句可知，英国人的生活离不开酒馆，因此B项“酒馆是英国人生活的重要组成部分”能够概括本段。
37. F。根据空前的“Groups of friends normally buy ’rounds’ of drinks”可知，此处指轮到谁，谁就要为这群朋友里的每个成员买酒。
38. G。上文提到大多数酒馆的酒类很齐全，当地的和进口的都有。下文提到酒馆也销售不含酒精的饮料。因此，G项“大多数人可能认为酒馆是人们只喝酒的地方”符合语境。
39. C。在英国，购买酒的合法年龄是18岁。16岁和17岁的孩子在有许可证的情况下，(在酒馆)一顿饭只能喝一杯葡萄酒；再结合下文中的“unaccompanied by an adult”可推知，C项“但是他们得有成年人陪伴而且由成年人点酒”符合语境。
40. E。空处为段落结尾句。根据空前内容可知，孩子可以和父母在酒馆待到晚上9点，这让家人可以享受定价合理的晚餐，而这也让酒馆发挥了它的传统作用，即作为社区活动中心。
