I grew up five minutes from Clapham Junction station in south London. Our house backed onto the railway, so the regular sound of passing trains was a sound I found noisy. Clapham Junction was famously busy, but it felt separate from the rest of London, as if its purpose was to carry people away from the capital. I felt I stood on the edge of the city.
During my last year at primary school, I spent every afternoon going across the road with my mum to eat white toast with drinking sugary tea. My mum would argue with the Greek Cypriot owner about politics. They disagreed about everything, but laughed a lot while arguing. Our life seemed uneventful.
But as time passed by, our area changed. The town became modern, and I changed a lot too. I went from a state primary school to a private secondary school. I stopped drinking sugary tea. I cared less about branded skirts but more about books. I spent less time hanging around the common but more travelling to the libraries where I found my interest.
It was then that I discovered Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado. After that I scanned the shelves of bookshops for some writing. In this way I found so many writers who have influenced me: Barbara Pym, EM Delafield and so on.
Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People wasn't like any other book I'd read. For more than sixty years the rock solid, time-tested advice in this book has carried thousands of now famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives. Now this previously revised and updated bestseller is available in trade paperback for the first .time to help you achieve your maximum potential throughout the next century! I read it as a guide anyway. And in a way it was.
4. How did the author feel about her childhood
A. Meaningful. B. Unsatisfied. C. Unforgettable. D. Colorful.
5. What happened to the author when she studied in the secondary school
A. She often felt lonely. B. She usually drank sugary tea.
C. She began to become modern. D. She started to like reading.
6. What does How to Win Friends and Influence People mean to the author
A. The world. B. A dream. C. The inspiration. D. A plan.
7. What may be the best title for the text
A. My Colourful Life B. Reading Changed Me

Sales of Apple’s new iPhone 11 in China began on Friday, but were met with a cooler reception from consumers than in previous years.

An online poll on the Mate 30 and iPhone 11 on Weibo on Friday showed that more than 60 percent of netizens chose the Mate 30, while less than 20 percent chose the iPhone 11. Many chose Huawei not out of patriotism but for its technology.
Overseas consumers also engaged in vigorous discussions on Huawei’s new flagship devices on technology sites and social media platforms.

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
12. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into
A. Grey-colored dustbins. B. Red-colored dustbins.
C. Green-colored dustbins. D. Blue-colored dustbins.
13. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai
C. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens
D. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing
14. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Sort Garbage in China B. The Current Regulation in Beijing
C. Garbage Collection in Beijing D. Waste Recycling Project Counts
15. The passage can be sorted as ________.
A. a book review B. a travel brochure
C. an environment report D. a geography essay
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable,”可知，蓝色垃圾箱装的是可回收垃圾，而用过的可乐罐属于可回收垃圾，应投入蓝色垃圾箱内，故D项正确。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points”可知，有了智能设备，那些将垃圾投入到指定垃圾箱的市民将获得奖励积分，由此可知，新技术已应用于帮助处理垃圾，故A项正确。
【14题详解】
主题大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit.”可知，本文主要介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况，故C项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是垃圾分类在北京的实施情况，这属于环保话题，因此文章可能是一份环境报告，故C项正确。
【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度较大，被选选项一定要全面地概括出文章内容，因此抓住主题句的关键词尤为重要，例如本篇第3题，通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit.”可知，本文主要介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况，因此文章标题一定反映出北京和垃圾分类两个方面，故C项（北京的垃圾收集/分类）作标题最能概括出全文内容。

Four Tips for High School Graduates
Over three-million high school students are graduating this spring in the United States. Many of them will head to university in the fall. The transition (过渡) from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.
Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest. ___16___ If you know someone who is making this transition or know parents guiding their soon-to-be adult kids through this time, please take a moment to share this collection of research-based tips with them.

Lean on your family. Family support can give you comfort when classes get hard or you are stressed about finals. ___19___ Strong support from family is linked to lower loneliness and depression during the first year of college and higher academic adjustment including motivation and concentration.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文为今年春天在美国的300多万高中生毕业的四点建议。
【16题详解】
根据上下文Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.可知，也许你正准备自己完成这个转变，或者你的孩子即将离开家。A选项中的you和前文相符，且语意（这份清单是给你的）承接上下文，故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus.一踏上校园就开始结交新朋友。可知F选项中的make friends和本段主旨句中的making new friends相符，且句意（几乎每个人都和你一样，希望能很快交到朋友）联系上下文。故选F项。
【18题详解】
分析句子结构可知，空处填本段的主旨句，再根据下文内容，可知首先你要自己找寻答案，在你不能的时候去联系能帮助你的人，故C选项可以概括下文，且下文That is what they are there for!中的they指代选项中your professors or teaching assistants.故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的第一句Lean on your family. 可知G选项中family members与主旨句中的your family相呼应，且句意（当课程变得困难或你对期末考试感到压力时，家庭支持可以给你带来安慰）联系上下文，故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows, professors, and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college. 在向大学过渡的过程中，对与同事、教授交流以及在课堂上发言感到焦虑与较低的适应能力有关。可知B选项中speak up和前文内容的speaking up相呼应，且句意（你在课堂上讲得越多，就越容易。）联系上文，故选B项。
【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的方法之一，也就是说选项中的某些单词在文章当中重复出现，我们可以利用这个方法解决这一类题型。第2、4、5小题都是利用这个方法。

Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend.
One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar. But I was sure that I had never met Jo before. She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles, which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles, either. I convinced myself that it was only my imagination. The two girls got on very well and they giggled from time to time. I watched them play and felt so happy for my daughter from the bottom of my heart.
Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door. It was Jo’s mom coming to pick her up later that afternoon. On seeing her face, I was shocked. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Susan!” We embraced each other. It turned out that her father’s company sent his father to Los Angeles before they settled in Florida. She tried calling me later but we had moved. The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story, with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的女儿Jane想要邀请自己的朋友来家里，这让作者想起了自己童年时的好朋友Susan，回忆了当初和Susan相处的事情，后来因为作者搬家就没能再和Susan见面。第二天Jane把新朋友带回家，小女孩说自己叫Jo，她妈妈两个小时后来接她。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我很困惑，因为我女儿的新朋友看起来很面熟。所以后文应该是讲述作者对于觉得Jo面熟的困惑，以及看到Jo和Jane两个女孩相处得很好，作者从心底里为女儿感到高兴。
第二段开头是：两个小时过得真快，有人敲门。本段应该写Jo的妈妈来接Jo，作者发现正是Susan，Susan曾经联系过作者，但作者一家已经搬走了。两个小女孩也很为他们高兴，Susan和作者都留下了快乐的泪水。
最后还要注意所续写短文词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：puzzle sb.；convince oneself that；imagination；get on very well；turn out等高级词汇；She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles, which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles, either.运用宾语从句和非限制性定语从句；The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story, with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.运用时间状语从句等高级句式。

I grew up five minutes from Clapham Junction station in south London. Our house backed onto the railway, so the regular sound of passing trains was a sound I found noisy. Clapham Junction was famously busy, but it felt separate from the rest of London, as if its purpose was to carry people away from the capital. I felt I stood on the edge of the city.
During my last year at primary school, I spent every afternoon going across the road with my mum to eat white toast with drinking sugary tea. My mum would argue with the Greek Cypriot owner about politics. They disagreed about everything, but laughed a lot while arguing. Our life seemed uneventful.
But as time passed by, our area changed. The town became modern, and I changed a lot too. I went from a state primary school to a private secondary school. I stopped drinking sugary tea. I cared less about branded skirts but more about books. I spent less time hanging around the common but more travelling to the libraries where I found my interest.
It was then that I discovered Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado. After that I scanned the shelves of bookshops for some writing. In this way I found so many writers who have influenced me: Barbara Pym, EM Delafield and so on.
Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People wasn't like any other book I'd read. For more than sixty years the rock solid, time-tested advice in this book has carried thousands of now famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives. Now this previously revised and updated bestseller is available in trade paperback for the first .time to help you achieve your maximum potential throughout the next century! I read it as a guide anyway. And in a way it was.

Sales of Apple’s new iPhone 11 in China began on Friday, but were met with a cooler reception from consumers than in previous years.

Many chose Huawei not out of patriotism but for its technology.
Overseas consumers also engaged in vigorous discussions on Huawei’s new flagship devices on technology sites and social media platforms.

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
12. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into
A. Grey-colored dustbins. B. Red-colored dustbins.
C. Green-colored dustbins. D. Blue-colored dustbins.
13. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai
C. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens
D. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing
14. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Sort Garbage in China B. The Current Regulation in Beijing
C. Garbage Collection in Beijing D. Waste Recycling Project Counts
15. The passage can be sorted as ________.

Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend.
One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.”
