Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half－written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

I was in the ninth year when I began to suffer depression. My parents noticed but felt that since I'd always been 1 good child, this was temporary.

The examination was approaching, but I simply didn't care. My parents and teachers were 5 (puzzle) at my bad performance. One morning, after a particularly severe lecture from my father, I stood at the school gate, 6 (depress). Then as the other students marched to their classrooms, our headmaster called me. The next forty－five minutes was one 7 the most precious moments in my life. She said she 8 (notice) a big change in me and wondered why. At first she took my hands in 9 (she) and listened patiently as I mentioned my worries. Then she hugged me as I wept. Months of frustration and loneliness disappeared in her motherly hug.

Ⅱ 七选五
We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn't exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we can't hide from ourselves. 1 Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 2 By using our breath we soften our experiences.
Embrace the uncomfortable
3 We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.
Spend time alone
For most of our lives we're surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone 4 You can truly open yourself and explore whatever you'd like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it's like to be alone.
Get outside of yourself
This may seem a little contrary to the last tip. 5 After you've explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that—not through telling others, but through being with others.
A．We all know what anxiety feels like.
B．However, in reality they work hand in hand.
C．We need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.
D．When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.
E．You'll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.
F．Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
G．When you spend time in solitude (独自) you're free from the influences of other people.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。当恐惧与焦虑来袭时，我们应该退后一步，重新反思自己的言行。文章介绍了四种方法可以帮助你完全敞开心扉。
1．C C项与下一句中的“open your heart”呼应。我们需要敞开心扉，拥抱生活中的各种可能；然后接下来介绍了四种帮助我们敞开心扉的方法。
2．D D项和本空前一句构成并列，并与本段的标题对应。
3．A A项与本空下一句的句型对应，构成并列关系。我们都有过对焦虑的感受，也都知道恐惧带来的身体上的反应。
4．G 第三个小标题介绍的是享受独处，所以G项和标题呼应，符合段落大意。
5．B B项和本空前一句构成转折。最后一段介绍的“走出自我”和前一个建议貌似有点矛盾，但其实两者却是相辅相成的。(共36张PPT)

(·西安市莲湖区高二月考)Pakistan should be everyone's tourist destination for 2020, but what if you already live there Then perhaps you should consider visiting these five must－visit places for the new year.
Lake Saiful Muluk
At an altitude of 3,224 m, surrounded by snowy mountains, the lake rewards those that make the three－hour uphill walk from Naran. You will find the pathway just above the free market, but there is a superior option to get a jeep and split the costs with some other tourists; expect to pay about 700 rupees， worth it to view this natural beauty.
Deosai National Park
As another high point in Pakistan, it has an average altitude of 4,114 m—the Deosai Plains are one of the highest plateaus in the world. If you make it to the park, you expect to find rich plants and wild animals. The breathtaking scenery on show at the plains is enough to make 2020 a memorable year.
Naltar Valley
Accessible via a 2.5－hour drive from Gilgit, well worth visiting. Covered with pine trees and other plant life, it has a dreamlike feel about it. Various colors all year round will make you fall in love.
Shangrila Resort
Right in the north of Pakistan in the central valley of Gilgit Baltistan. Locals call this a paradise， and that's what it feels like. No visit is complete without checking out the restaurant which is built in the structure of an aircraft.
Rama Meadow
Doesn't feel like Pakistan at all, more like somewhere in Minnesota. Watch the sheep and cows feeding while clear water flows in streams from high in the mountains. Against Chongra's ice－covered peak, this little meadow is a piece of art.

6．which 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知此处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，故填which。
7．in 考查介词。根据句意“在外貌上与这里的人们没有什么不同”可知此处用in，表示“在某方面”。
8．and 考查连词。此处是两个谓语之间缺少连词，根据句意可知此处是顺承关系，所以用and。
9．really 考查词性转换。此处修饰形容词，所以用所给词的副词形式。
10．Helped 考查非谓语动词。此处过去分词作原因状语，表示被动。

Ⅲ 书面表达 [应用文写作——关于旅行的电子邮件]
写作关于旅行的电子邮件的重点在于旅行内容，如旅行的行程安排、所见所闻、心得和感受等。而旅行过程介绍是关于旅行的电子邮件最常见的写作内容，其目的是说明旅行过程中的精彩片段或令人印象深刻的独特风景。写作时，应注意以下几点：
1．交代旅行目的地及过程。目的地是旅行的终点，而终点只是旅行的一部分而不是全部，所以在写作关于旅行的电子邮件时，首先要写清楚旅行目的地，以及到达目的地所采取的方式、行程路线、地理位置等。

3．概括旅行印象，总结旅行心得。在描述了旅行的精彩之处和特色活动之后，要总结出对该旅行活动带给人的影响，以便唤起人们留恋和向往。
4．润色行文，完善结构。写作关于旅行的电子邮件时，要注意人称、时态以及句式、结构。如果介绍自己曾经的旅行过程，则要用第一人称、一般过去时；如果介绍尚未进行的旅行，一般用第二人称、一般将来时。写作时，应根据语境之间的逻辑关系，适当运用连接词汇、分词短语、从句等高级结构，以突出写作亮点。
1．开头常用句式

(·泰州高港区高二月考)If you want to fully enjoy your vacation, then you'd better check the Durban City Tours! This is actually one of the best choices in South Africa today.
There is nothing more relaxing than to think about that there is a place to go and relax, right City life is strained, but you can escape this situation and be in the place where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!
Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets. Tourists and even the local villagers just can't get enough of these treats!
However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours. Their staff are all well－trained and professional. They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one. No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.

B．People don't like city life.

Having traveled to other countries several times and being somewhat familiar with the French culture, through reading books, I can confidently say I have not witnessed this thing called culture shock first－hand.However, I'm not going to lie and say the day－to－day life is exactly like that of an American.
In America we value everything big! “The bigger the better” could certainly be the motto. France brings a fresh alternative. It's very rare to see a large car. In fact, the smaller the car, the better chance you have of parking in those ever－so－tiny parking places. Besides, ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators are nearly half the size.
Dinner in France appears to be an event; it is pretty typical to plan for at least 2 hours for your meal. Good quality conversation, enjoying those you are with, and appreciating your food and the experience are vital factors. Americans are all about keeping things moving. Waiters in France come around a lot less frequently. They are not so much concerned about making more money and getting the next customer in the door.
Shopping provides a slight change of pace. Walking to the markets and frequenting the shops a few times per week keeps me busy compared to my once per week shopping back home. A note is posted on my door as I leave my apartment reminding me to bring my own bags. Using your own bags to carry your groceries home is the only option available. Walking into a grocery store with no bags and no cash， as I always rely on credit cards, is not a good idea as you must pay cash to use a shopping cart. I was extremely surprised when I first experienced this but I'm already thinking I need to bring this back to America! You won't find someone leaving their cart in the middle of the parking place in France, as you have to take the cart back to get your money back. Brilliant!
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己到法国的旅游经历说明了法国生活方式跟美国生活方式的不同。
5．We learn from the second paragraph that French people .
A．prefer something smaller
B．can't afford bigger cars
C．don't have enough parking space
D．also like to use something big
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，相对美国而言，法国人喜欢型号较小的东西。故选A。
6．What do we know about dinner in France

B．It is very pleasant and relaxing.
C．It requires a lot of waiters.
D．It is quite expensive in general.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Good quality conversation, enjoying those you are with, and appreciating your food and the experience are vital factors.”可知，法国人的晚餐非常令人轻松愉快。故选B。
7．What is the author's attitude to the French way of shopping
A．Appreciative. B．Disapproving.
C．Reserved. D．Disappointed.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三句“I was extremely surprised when I first experienced this but I'm already thinking I need to bring this back to America！”以及最后一句“Brilliant！”可推断出，作者很欣赏法国的购物方式。故选A。

Getting sick overseas can be scary. You're in an unfamiliar place and often don't speak the language. Although each trip is different, there are universal things you can do to keep safe.
Be prepared.“Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area you're visiting at least four weeks before your departure，” says WHO public health expert Dr Gilles Poumerol. A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations (接种疫苗) as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.
Get insurance.“In many countries where you have limited access to health care, good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive，” Poumerol says. Plus, in an emergency, returning to the United States can cost more than $50,000. Ask your health insurance company whether your policy (保险单) applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital. If not, there are many companies that offer short－term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee. A list can be found on the US State Department's travel website.
Pack well. Poumerol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country you're visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important. Contacts should include the local embassy, relatives and your health insurance company who should be informed if you get sick.
Be care. You have to be in charge of your health. If you're being treated abroad, question the medical staff about their sterilization (杀菌) practices; injection (注射) equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once. Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer. Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety. If your common sense is perfect, the rest of your body should follow.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。愉快的旅游一定是以安全为前提的，境外游的游客往往面临很多安全隐患。
1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．You must receive some vaccinations after going abroad.
B．Alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety.
C．You should employ a travel doctor who travels with you.
D．It's a terrible thing to get sick in a strange country.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Getting sick overseas can be scary.”可知在国外生病是件可怕的事，故D项正确。
2．According to the passage, you can visit the US State Department's travel website to find .
A．companies which offer short－term travel health insurance
B．how to get back to America when you are ill
C．whether your policy applies overseas
D．good health care overseas
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“If not, there are many companies that offer short－term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee. A list can be found on the US State Department's travel website.”可知选A。
3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．You shouldn't eat too much when you stay abroad.
B．Health care provided abroad can be unreliable.
C．Injection equipment should be used only once.
D．You have to treat yourself when you are ill.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三、四句可知C项正确。

(·黄冈市高三质量检测)William Lindesay has been interested in the Great Wall of China since seeing it in a school atlas (地图册) as a child in England. “I vividly recall seeing in the ‘Oxford School Atlas’ the Great Wall with its battlement symbol. From that moment, I had in my mind that when I grew up I'd go to China and walk along the Great Wall from end to end.”
Lindesay's about 3,000 km solo run along the Great Wall began in 1987. Running the length of the wall was a brave expedition, venturing into sparsely populated regions where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident. During another trip, Lindesay and his team ventured deep into the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The explorers almost died from dehydration (脱水). In total, Lindesay estimates in an interview that he has spent about 1,600 days of his life, or four full years, on the Great Wall in all seasons.
Lindesay and his wife, Wu Qi, whom he got to know and fell in love with during his trips in China, had a farmhouse at the foot of the wall. During his exploration, he noticed some sections of the wall were badly damaged and covered with litter. Modernization and development were making the situation even worse. “Some people say it will take generations to change; I say we don't have generations of time. It's got to be much quicker，” he said. Lindesay always carries a garbage bag with him in the wilderness, picking litter along the way. Lindesay uses a garbage bag as his calling card. The cloth bag bears a set of nine simple guidelines in Chinese, which calls on people to observe while traveling or camping outdoors: “Take your own garbage home” “Pick up litter left by others” “Don't damage plants or flowers, or pick fruit” and lots more.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了一位外国友人Lindesay从小就爱上了长城，长大后游历长城，结识爱妻，并做长城的清道夫的故事。
4．What sparked William Lindesay's dream of exploring the Great Wall
A．Seeing a movie about the Great Wall.
B．Experiencing a war for the Great Wall.
C．Surfing a website about the Great Wall.
D．Admiring the Great Wall in the school atlas.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“William Lindesay has been interested in the Great Wall of China since seeing it in a school atlas (地图册) as a child in England.”可知William Lindesay自从孩提时在学校的地图册上看到长城就爱上了长城。
5．What does the underlined word “sparsely” mean
A．Remotely. B．Rarely.
C．Frequently. D．Largely.
答案：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“populated regions where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident”可推知，人口稀少的地方提供帮助的机会也少，故选B。
6．What worsened the situation of the Great Wall
A．The destroyed ecosystems.
B．Waste caused by farms.
C．The increasing tourists.
D．Modernization and development.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Modernization and development were making the situation even worse.”可知现代化和开发使长城的处境更加恶化。
7．What sort of man is William Lindesay
A．Strong willed and selfless.
B．Determined and grateful.
C．Warmhearted and impolite.
D．Considerate and optimistic.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第二段他历次艰难探险长城可推断出他是意志力坚强的一个人；根据第三段他不图名利做长城的清道夫可推断出他是一个大爱无私的好人。故选A。

(·九江市庐山中学高二检测) Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”—and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you'll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles, secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.
Must－sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived)．
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past—built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow (箭) making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let's not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries, Stone Henge. You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world's most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King's College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国乡村旅游的一些景点。

Where should an adventurous tourist go After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go What exotic tourist destination awaits you
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (为……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

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。
(·苏州市第六中学高二检测)When I was a kid my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. 16 At camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports, and archery, but for me, the most memorable experience was an overnight trip of mountain climbing. If you've ever hiked a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, especially when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. 17
“How much farther is it？”
“My pack is too heavy, can you carry it for me？”
The reply of the teachers was, “Suck it up.” The truth is, the complaining campers were nowhere near the point of exhaustion. If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the signs and given them care. 18 Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they overcame the discomfort, and in most cases ended up having a great time.
19 You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you complain, you might feel like you're getting the negative energy out, but you're probably not going to cause a positive change. It's much more likely that your complaining will arouse the dislike of those around you.No one likes a plaining makes life harder for everyone. 20
A．The summer camp was interesting but full of complaint.
B．The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge.
C．It's no use complaining and it can't bring us what we want.
D．This was a great experience for me.
E．There are two ways to deal with an unpleasant situation.
F．When campers got tired, they certainly started complaining.
G．We should complain less and make more effort.
篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过一次夏令营的经历告诉我们：做事情要少抱怨，多努力。
16．D 由后文“At camp we did tons of great things ...”可知，“我”获得了一次很棒的经历。
17．F 由后文“The truth is, the complaining campers were nowhere ...”可知，此处指有的人累了，就开始抱怨。
18．B 由后文“Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they overcame the discomfort, ...”可知，他们的抱怨并不表示他们遇到了不可克服的困难。B项“孩子们只是对身体挑战不习惯”承接下文，符合文意。
19．E 由后文“You can complain, or you can make the best of it.”进一步说明了这里面临的两种情况可知，设空处应提到两种情况。
20．G 本文最后一段总结了抱怨对人们的消极影响。所以，作者最后给出结论：少抱怨，多努力。

Welcome back to the hot topic of studying abroad! Last time, we talked about the general “ software” needed to have a 36 (success) studying experience overseas, 37 refers to the ability to understand western culture, and problem solving skills when 38 (face) critical situations, etc.
Now, I will dig deeper into the concept of “software”. Everyone is talking about culture shock nowadays, but you may wonder what it actually 39 (mean). Simply put: culture shock is the difficulty people may experience when 40 (expose) and adjusting to a remarkably different new culture. Usually, people often go 41 four distinct phases: the honeymoon phase, the negotiation phase, the adjustment phase and the mastery phase. Culture shock can happen immediately upon your 42 (arrive) in the country.
For international students, perhaps the most direct impact of culture shock is the variety of accents, especially in multicultural countries 43 the US, Canada or Australia. There are two main reasons: Firstly, these countries have highly diversified groups of residents from different cultural 44 (background). Secondly, there are many international students from all around the world every year studying in these countries, so you shouldn't be 45 (surprise) to find all kinds of unfamiliar accents around the university campus.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Every spring the trees and flowers bloom (开花) here in Connecticut. But that's not the case everywhere, especially the driest place on Earth.
The driest place on the planet is currently experiencing a second amazing and inspiring flower bloom and flooded with color after one more extreme rainfall this year, making for a rare sight for those living in Chile's Atacama Desert.
The Atacama Desert is located in the north part of the country and barely receives any rain throughout the entire year in general, making it extremely difficult for any plant to grow. Arica, in the northern Atacama, holds the world record for the longest dry tendency, having gone 173 months without a drop of rain in the early 20th century.
However, historic rainfall moved through the region earlier this year, leading to catastrophic flood, but also providing water for flower seeds that had lain dormant for years. In March, the heavy El Nino－related thunderstorm brought 0.96 inches of rain in one day to parts of the Atacama Desert. This doesn't seem like that much, but it was a huge rainfall event for the desert—over 14 years of rain in one day.
The malva (锦葵) flowers on the floor of the Atacama Desert bloom every five to seven years, usually coinciding with El Nino. They have taken advantage of the particularly rainy conditions of March, leading to the “most wonderful blossoming of the past 18 years”．
The desert saw another rainfall in August, causing the malva to bloom once again in the same year, which has never been recorded. It is a unique experience for the visitors to take the opportunity to document the wonder of nature.
It is estimated that roughly 20,000 visitors crowd to the desert recently to see the millions of tiny pink and purple flowers until the early part of November before the flowers begin to die and the landscape returns to normal.
写前导读：本文是一篇说明文。阿塔卡玛沙漠(Atacama Desert)位于南美洲西海岸中部。在副热带高气压带下沉气流、离岸风和秘鲁寒流的综合影响下，本地区成为世界最干燥的地区之一，被称作世界的“干极”。
[精彩范文]
As the driest place in the world, the Atacama Desert witnessed historic rainfall in March. (要点1) Although the rainfall caused catastrophic flood, it made malva seeds that had lain dormant for years come to life, whose flowers coated the desert later. (要点2) And more surprisingly, one more rainfall swept this place in August, which produces another feast for eyes, because the flowers are blooming again. (要点3)
