I was at my parent's dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather's journal and now belongs to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life's journey.
I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace(拥抱) each other's struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer's mind and understand the world they lived in.
That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality(肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.
This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.
Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflects deep thought on issues of human importance.
1.What does the underlined word "captivated" in Para. 2 mean
A.Puzzled. B.Frightened. C.Attracted. D.Defeated.
2.In the author's grandfather's age, people ________.
A.lived a hard life B.cared about each other
C.were fond of writing D.treated food as an art
3.Why does the author begin the text with her grandfather's journal
A.To show her respect for her grandfather.
B.To present the importance of good writings.
C.To express her interest in reading as well as writing.
D.To raise the problem with today's writing.
4.What is the writer trying to do in the last paragraph
A.To discuss what good writing is like.
B.To express her strong desire to learn writing skills.
C.To stress the effects of her grandfather's journal on her.
D.To show her admiration for her grandfather's writing.

Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer at an institute in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation(造林) in desert areas. It’s commonly seen, though easily ignored. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on tackling desertification.
The organization, devoted to ecological protection and social responsibility, was located in the Alshaa League of Inner Mongolia. During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133,330 hectares back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved.
In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies(补助金)for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.
1.What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation
A. He researched on saxaul trees.
B. He joined a nonprofit organization.
C. He found ways to fight desertification.
D. He focused on road design engineering.
2.Why are saxual trees planted by Zhu’s team
A. They are easily taken care of.
B. They can grow fast in deserts.
C. They are perfect for holding water.
D. They can fight desertification effectively.
3.What did SEE do to control desertification
A. They teamed up with Ant Finance.
B. They planted one million saxaul trees.
C. They held online lectures on desertification.
D. They encouraged donation from online users.
4.How can online users help Zhu’s team
A. By providing subsidies.
B. By raising awareness.
C. By planting trees online.
D. By offering technological support.

Zoological Society of London (ZSL),which runs London Zoo, brought together 16 scientists from different organizations to make a full health check" on 215 miles of the Thames. The results of the first-ever State of the Thames Report have been shown to the public and there's both good and bad news for London's main waterway.
First up, since the Thames was pronounced “biologically(生物学地) dead” in 1957,the number of animals and plants growing in and around the river has increased greatly. Natural habitats(栖息地) are also on the increase, some of which can help in the fight against climate(气候) change.
It's not all good news though—like everywhere else, the Thames is influenced by climate change, mainly through changes in water temperature and sea level. The Thames is increasing in temperature at an average(平均数) of 0.2℃ each year, changing the natural environment.
Water levels are also rising in the Thames—at Silvertown. There has been an average increase of 4.26 mm per year since 1990, which makes London more likely to be flooded.
As with pretty much everywhere on Earth, the Thames needs climate change to be stopped in order to make itself a living river in the future.
The Environment Agency has put together the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan which sets out a long-term plan for dealing with the influence of rising sea level for the rest of this century, in order to protect London from floods.
James Brand, Thames Estuary 2100 Advisor at the Environment Agency said, "We are glad to support the State of the Thames Report. If we are going to stop climate change, nature needs to be at the heart of our activities, both in slowing the pace of future change and dealing with the changes that we have already seen."
1.What did the 16 scientists do with the Thames
A. They did an examination of it. B. They gave an introduction to it.
C. They brought new animals to it. D. They organized a clean-up of it.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The way animals are raised.
B. The development of natural habitats.
C. The meaning of "biologically dead".
D. The welcome changes to the Thames.
3.What has happened to the Thames
A. It has caused many floods.
B. Its temperature has been rising.
C. Its plants have become fewer and fewer.
D. It is home to a smaller number of animals.
4.Why was the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan made
A. To record rising sea level. B. To help rebuild London.
C. To explain the importance of nature. D. To fight against climate change.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.
School started and I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the classroom.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did. I was confident that the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. But in fact, humans particularly teenagers rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the classroom. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
Paragraph 1:
After class I took a deep breath and walked into his office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Fifteen years later I still drive that winding road to the same school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

解析： ①由于修饰的是整个句子,需用obvious的副词形式。
②此处为现在分词短语"planning to walk to the nearest gas station"做伴随状语,逻辑主语I与分词动作plan之间是主动关系。
③空格中所填单词在句中做"Concerned about"的宾语,且前面有物主代词my修饰,故用safe的名词形式safety。
④It在句中做形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的主语从句。
⑤"To repay Johnny"是不定式短语做目的状语。
⑥根据句意可知,这里填for表示“为了”。
⑦此处though/although 引导让步状语从句。
⑧"Touched by Johnny's selflessness"是过去分词短语做状语,表示原因,逻辑主语Kate与分词动作touch之间是被动关系。
⑨so far做状语,句子常用现在完成时;主语$100,000是谓语动词collect的承受者,用被动语态。金钱做主语,谓语动词用单数。
⑩此处为关系代词that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词everything,关系代词在从句中做主语。

Finally I was encouraged and full of confidence when leaving the office.
Paragraph 2:
Fifteen years later I still drive that winding road to the same school. My boss and I always sit together, talking about the new students and their problems. In fact, he becomes my teacher by teaching me the truth of education. The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil. Thanks to the help I received from him that first year, I have grown as a successful educator as he is now.

I was at my parent's dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather's journal and now belongs to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life's journey.
I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace(拥抱) each other's struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer's mind and understand the world they lived in.
That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality(肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.
This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.
Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflects deep thought on issues of human importance.
1.What does the underlined word "captivated" in Para. 2 mean
A.Puzzled. B.Frightened. C.Attracted. D.Defeated.
2.In the author's grandfather's age, people ________.
A.lived a hard life B.cared about each other
C.were fond of writing D.treated food as an art
3.Why does the author begin the text with her grandfather's journal

B.To present the importance of good writings.
C.To express her interest in reading as well as writing.
D.To raise the problem with today's writing.
4.What is the writer trying to do in the last paragraph

Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer at an institute in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation(造林) in desert areas. It’s commonly seen, though easily ignored. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on tackling desertification.
The organization, devoted to ecological protection and social responsibility, was located in the Alshaa League of Inner Mongolia. During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133,330 hectares back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved.
In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies(补助金)for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.
1.What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation
A. He researched on saxaul trees.
B. He joined a nonprofit organization.
C. He found ways to fight desertification.
D. He focused on road design engineering.
2.Why are saxual trees planted by Zhu’s team
A. They are easily taken care of.
B. They can grow fast in deserts.
C. They are perfect for holding water.
D. They can fight desertification effectively.
3.What did SEE do to control desertification
A. They teamed up with Ant Finance.
B. They planted one million saxaul trees.
C. They held online lectures on desertification.
D. They encouraged donation from online users.
4.How can online users help Zhu’s team
A. By providing subsidies.
B. By raising awareness.
C. By planting trees online.
D. By offering technological support.

Zoological Society of London (ZSL),which runs London Zoo, brought together 16 scientists from different organizations to make a full health check" on 215 miles of the Thames. The results of the first-ever State of the Thames Report have been shown to the public and there's both good and bad news for London's main waterway.
First up, since the Thames was pronounced “biologically(生物学地) dead” in 1957,the number of animals and plants growing in and around the river has increased greatly. Natural habitats(栖息地) are also on the increase, some of which can help in the fight against climate(气候) change.
It's not all good news though—like everywhere else, the Thames is influenced by climate change, mainly through changes in water temperature and sea level. The Thames is increasing in temperature at an average(平均数) of 0.2℃ each year, changing the natural environment.
Water levels are also rising in the Thames—at Silvertown. There has been an average increase of 4.26 mm per year since 1990, which makes London more likely to be flooded.
As with pretty much everywhere on Earth, the Thames needs climate change to be stopped in order to make itself a living river in the future.
The Environment Agency has put together the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan which sets out a long-term plan for dealing with the influence of rising sea level for the rest of this century, in order to protect London from floods.
James Brand, Thames Estuary 2100 Advisor at the Environment Agency said, "We are glad to support the State of the Thames Report. If we are going to stop climate change, nature needs to be at the heart of our activities, both in slowing the pace of future change and dealing with the changes that we have already seen."
1.What did the 16 scientists do with the Thames
A. They did an examination of it. B. They gave an introduction to it.
C. They brought new animals to it. D. They organized a clean-up of it.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The way animals are raised.
B. The development of natural habitats.
C. The meaning of "biologically dead".
D. The welcome changes to the Thames.
3.What has happened to the Thames
A. It has caused many floods.
B. Its temperature has been rising.
C. Its plants have become fewer and fewer.
D. It is home to a smaller number of animals.
4.Why was the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan made
A. To record rising sea level. B. To help rebuild London.
C. To explain the importance of nature. D. To fight against climate change.

In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.
School started and I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the classroom.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did. I was confident that the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. But in fact, humans particularly teenagers rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the classroom. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.

After class I took a deep breath and walked into his office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fifteen years later I still drive that winding road to the same school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：①obviously ②planning ③safety ④It ⑤To repay ⑥for ⑦though/although ⑧Touched ⑨has been collected ⑩that
解析： ①由于修饰的是整个句子,需用obvious的副词形式。
②此处为现在分词短语"planning to walk to the nearest gas station"做伴随状语,逻辑主语I与分词动作plan之间是主动关系。
③空格中所填单词在句中做"Concerned about"的宾语,且前面有物主代词my修饰,故用safe的名词形式safety。
④It在句中做形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的主语从句。
⑤"To repay Johnny"是不定式短语做目的状语。
⑥根据句意可知,这里填for表示“为了”。
⑦此处though/although 引导让步状语从句。
⑧"Touched by Johnny's selflessness"是过去分词短语做状语,表示原因,逻辑主语Kate与分词动作touch之间是被动关系。
⑨so far做状语,句子常用现在完成时;主语$100,000是谓语动词collect的承受者,用被动语态。金钱做主语,谓语动词用单数。
⑩此处为关系代词that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词everything,关系代词在从句中做主语。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
After class I took a deep breath and walked into his office. I said nothing just thinking that I would be fired. To my great surprise, my boss didn't glare at me with burning eyes. Instead, he patiently named my problems that as a teacher, I shouldn't have ignored the bad behavior of my students. We discussed how I could deal with the situation I met. Finally I was encouraged and full of confidence when leaving the office.
Paragraph 2:
Fifteen years later I still drive that winding road to the same school. My boss and I always sit together, talking about the new students and their problems. In fact, he becomes my teacher by teaching me the truth of education. The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil. Thanks to the help I received from him that first year, I have grown as a successful educator as he is now.
