●Images should be clear
●Make images simple and visually striking.
●Always meet requirements of the platform’s image size.
If the platform allows, add a description to your profile picture that includes links to your website.

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade.I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons went through.
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us.She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate.Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets.When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends.Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us.My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.
8. What did the author think of the boy before the mother's talk
A. Friendly. B. Humorous. C. Generous. D. Strange.
9. Which order is RIGHT according to the passage
①We got away from him.
②We got on well with Derek.
③Derek arrived in my class.
④Derek's mom talked to us.
A. ③①②④ B. ③①④② C. ①③②④ D. ①④③②
10. According to Derek's mother,Derek________________.
A was too shy to be with others
B. had problems in expressing himself
C. was good at communicating with others
D. didn't like the way others treated him

Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)? What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking — living with a foreign accent is difficult?
Recently a gentleman in his 40s noticed my accent, and asked me where I was from. Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English. After a polite exchange, he said sympathetically that he couldn’t imagine how hard it was for me to deal with reading long English texts. Furthermore, he seemed genuinely puzzled to the fact that I learned to speak English “so well” in an African country. Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him. But I didn’t.
Sometimes these everyday experiences can drive me crazy. I even think of trying to actively “sound American” as a way to escape the stereotypes(模式化观念) that people have. But if I practiced an American accent enough, would people actually focus on what I say rather than how I say it
Actually, to speak in our accent itself is to tell a story of identity. My housemates and I come from seven different countries: Jamaica, USA, Gambia, Yemen, China, Ecuador and SA. None of us speak native-like English, but we understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. If we all sounded the same, I think that would be boring. Together, we make up a cocktail of beautifully crafted accents with seasoned experiences. None of us owes anyone an explanation about why we don’t sound like how you expect us to.
Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important. We are a generation of different languages, dialects, and accents. The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.
Deal with it.
12. What purpose do the two questions serve in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To share some unpleasant experiences.
C. To show it’s hard to live with an accent. D. To express disappointment at the service.
13. What does the author probably do
A. An English teacher. B. An international student.
C. A Starbuck waiter. D. A university professor.
14. How did the author probably feel after talking with the gentleman
A. Ashamed. B. Amazed. C. Amused. D. Annoyed.
15. Which of the following might the author most likely agree with
A. Efforts should be made to get rid of accents.
B. We should speak the way we are expected to.
C. Acceptance of accents is needed in the society.
D. Education contributes to native-like English.

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.
There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.
When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.
Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!
“How can we get back with the weight of us ” Simon wondered.
Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.
The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!
The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home
Paragraph 1:
Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.

细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment, effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.” 由于自然灾害给人们带来危险或威胁他们当前的环境,使人们面临危险,因此,对自然灾害后的环境健康进行有效的管理就显得尤为重要。分析选项可知D项符合题意。故选D项。
【5题详解】
段落大意题。本段讲述了“为了有效地管理灾害期间和之后的环境卫生,在事件实际发生之前进行准备是很重要的,在紧急情况下,有准备才能做出良好、快速的判断和适当的应对措施。第三段第一句To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs.是本句的主题句。分析选项可知选A。

【7题详解】
猜测词意题。根据最后一段的This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. 这本书专为那些在灾难发生后被要求做出紧急决定的人提供指导的。因此所推荐的环境卫生措施按在紧急情况下应采取的优先列出。分析选项A.Perfection完美;B.

【点睛】文章细节的理解可以细化为:(1)一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合,一一对应,一目了然。这种题只要带着问题直接找答案即可,如第一题。(2)语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题,答案与题目在意义上运用了词义之间的转述关系,即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另一种表达。如第3小题,就是语言转述题。(3)语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题,答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系,这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合,才能得出正确答案。(4)是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题,出题形式常常是“三正一误”或“三误一正”。(5)事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题,要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系,找出时间发生,发展的正确顺序。
细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息,而是多处信息的整合。解答后面的(3)(4)(5)这三种题 “综合”信息细节题时,一定要全面捕捉相关信息,进行综合分析、归纳,切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade.I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons went through.
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us.She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate.Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets.When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends.Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us.My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.

Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)? What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking — living with a foreign accent is difficult?
Recently a gentleman in his 40s noticed my accent, and asked me where I was from. Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English. After a polite exchange, he said sympathetically that he couldn’t imagine how hard it was for me to deal with reading long English texts. Furthermore, he seemed genuinely puzzled to the fact that I learned to speak English “so well” in an African country. Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him. But I didn’t.
Sometimes these everyday experiences can drive me crazy. I even think of trying to actively “sound American” as a way to escape the stereotypes(模式化观念) that people have. But if I practiced an American accent enough, would people actually focus on what I say rather than how I say it
Actually, to speak in our accent itself is to tell a story of identity. My housemates and I come from seven different countries: Jamaica, USA, Gambia, Yemen, China, Ecuador and SA. None of us speak native-like English, but we understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. If we all sounded the same, I think that would be boring. Together, we make up a cocktail of beautifully crafted accents with seasoned experiences. None of us owes anyone an explanation about why we don’t sound like how you expect us to.
Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important. We are a generation of different languages, dialects, and accents. The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.
Deal with it.
12. What purpose do the two questions serve in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To share some unpleasant experiences.
C. To show it’s hard to live with an accent. D. To express disappointment at the service.
13. What does the author probably do
A. An English teacher. B. An international student.
C. A Starbuck waiter. D. A university professor.
14. How did the author probably feel after talking with the gentleman
A. Ashamed. B. Amazed. C. Amused. D. Annoyed.
15. Which of the following might the author most likely agree with
A. Efforts should be made to get rid of accents.
B. We should speak the way we are expected to.
C. Acceptance of accents is needed in the society.
D. Education contributes to native-like English.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者从自身经历出发,以一次和一位绅士交谈中,绅士表达了对作者有口音的同情和在一个非洲国家把英语说得“那么好”的困惑。作者由此提出世界文化的多样化要求社会接受口音的不同。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的内容“Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)? What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking?”(你曾经有过即使你给咖啡师拼出了每个字母,而星巴克杯上你的名字拼写仍然是错误的情况吗?当你一开始说话,房间突然就沉默了,你会感受如何 )可推理前两句列举生活里发生的两种有关口音不同导致的情况都是为了引出下文living with a foreign accent is difficult(带着外国口音生活是很困难的),故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English.”可知他询问我的专业是什么和我在美国学习英语多长时间了,由此可作者是一个学生,故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。第二段倒数第二句“Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him.”可知作者按照往常的做法会表现出自我防卫的样子,指出他的无知,告诉他作者对他的教育失败感到多么难过。可知作者在跟绅士交谈过后觉得很恼怒,故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important.”可知作者认为接受人们有口音是很重要的,以及下文“The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.”(世界因不同的文化而变得越来越多样化,如果这意味着要用额外的努力去理解一个人的口音,学习如何拼写他们的名字,那么事情就是这样。)可知,作者认为世界文化的多样化要求社会需要接受口音的不同,故选C。

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.
There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.
When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.
Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!
“How can we get back with the weight of us ” Simon wondered.
Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.
The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!
The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home
Paragraph 1:
Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now. The sun was setting; darkness was overtaking Carl. Realizing the island would be flooded, he searched around and selected the strongest and tallest tree. Exhausted and scared, he settled himself in the trunk. Shortly afterwards, just as he was about to climb to the higher branch to avoid the rising tide, he heard a motor noise. He gazed toward home and could see a lantern flashing in the distance, then voices calling.
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him. Tears streaming down his cheek, Carl cried “Thank you for your timely appearance!” On the way back, dad explained, “When I got home from town, I couldn’t find you, so I tracked you to the shore. I went back for the motorboat and then I met Simon and Ben. The rest is history. Son, I am proud of you. What you did in risking your life for your brothers was wonderful and you demonstrated that it meant to truly love someone.”
