It was Jennifer Williams’ mother who got her interested in books. As a librarian, Williams’ mother read to her three children every day. “From when we hadn’t gone to kindergarten,” Williams told , a local news site, “until we went to college.”
When Williams, who is now 54, became an elementary school teacher and tutor in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to be falling in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had little chance to get enough books to read.
To Williams, the solution was simple: give kids books. In 2017, she donated (捐赠) 900 used children’s books over three days. “I wanted to do something that’s going to continue my faith,” she said.
So she started a new project for herself: give away one million books. It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don’t complain in the stand if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”
She got to work, first by persuading her friends to donate books or money to buy books. Before long, as news of Williams’ project spread, strangers started leaving varieties of book son her front walkway. As quickly as the books came in, Williams gave them to local schools free of charge—and also supplies 41,000 books to little free libraries around the city just over the North Carolina border. She also hosted a book club for prisoners in the local prison.
In the four years she’s been doing all this. The Book Lady, as Williams has come to be celebrated, has given away more than 78,000 books—only 922,000 more to reach her goal! And she’s not slowing down. “Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”
4. What made Williams decide to give away books
A. The desire for being famous. B. Her mother’s faith in reading.
C. The requirement of teaching. D. The shortage of kids’ books.
5. What did Williams do to encourage people to read
A. She gave all the books collected to local schools.
B. She persuaded her friends to donate only money.
C. She invited strangers to leave books in her house.
D. She hosted a book club locally for prisoners.
6. What does the underlined word “celebrated” in the last paragraph mean
A. Positive. B. Serious. C. Famous. D. Proud.
7. Which of the following best describes Jennifer Williams
A. Humorous and confident. B. Kind and influential.
C. Curious and professional. D. Independent and smart.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位教师因深受母亲影响而喜爱读书，为了让更多的人爱上读书，她启动了捐赠图书的项目的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“But early on, she realized that some kids had little chance to get enough books to read.”（但在早期，她意识到一些孩子很少有机会获得足够的书来阅读。）可知，因为孩子们没有机会读书，因此Williams决定把书都捐出去。故选D。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段第二句提到“The Book Lady, as Williams has come to be celebrated, has given away more than 78,000 books—only 922,000 more to reach her goal! ”（“书籍夫人”已经捐出了78000多本书——仅再捐出922000本书就能实现她的目标!）。最后一段倒数第二句提到“ “Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.” ”（“阅读可以带你去任何地方，”她告诉CNN。“你可以在时间和空间中旅行。如果你会阅读，你几乎可以学到任何东西。”）Williams 捐赠了很多书，让很多人爱上读书。同时，她的事迹也被有影响力的媒体进行了报道，说明这一举动不仅体现了她的大方，而且她的做法也是有影响力的。故选B。

In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.

I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

Walking along any beach in the world, you will find plastic of some kind on the shoreline, offering a reminder of the throwaway culture of the present day world. Now, a study has sounded a fresh warning on the damage caused to the marine (海洋的) ecosystem due to plastics, which eventually has an effect on human health due to the seafood we eat
In a paper titled “A Growing Plastic Smog”, researchers called on governments around the world to take firm action to handle the “plastic pollution” of the world's oceans.
The plastics break down over time into minute particles(微小颗粒) that cannot be seen by eyes, but find their way into the ocean ecosystem and into the seafood humans consume. “Microplastics are a problem because they are mistaken for food and eaten by small marine animals.” Charlene Trestrail said. “Once eaten, microplastics can damage an animal’s intestines(肠), and give out potentially harmful chemicals inside animals.”
Charlene Trestrail, a researcher at the University of Technology Sydney, said “the study shows just how big the problem is and that much of the blame was placed on the plastics industry for failing to recycle or design for recyclability.”
Paul Harvey, an environmental scientist, said “Globally, we have reached a point where we can no longer ignore the plastic pollution pandemic(流行病) that is infecting our oceans. This research shows us that beach cleanups and citizen science projects that focus on the environmental problems of plastics have little impact on solving the problem.”
Marcus Eriksen, lead author of the study, said that the findings were a “stark warning that we must act now at a global scale”. “Cleanup is useless if we continue to produce plastic at the current/rate, and we have heard about recycling for too long, while the plastic industry refuses any commitments to buy recycled material or design for recyclability. It is time for policymakers, governments and businesses to wake up and take the issue seriously.”
12. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The effect of chemicals. B. The harm of microplastics.
C. The food of marine animals. D. The breakdown of microplastics.
13. Who is to blame most for plastic pollution in the ocean
A. Plastics industry. B. Government. C. Tourists. D. Cleaners
14. What does Paul Harvey think of beach cleanups
A. Useful. B. Negative C. Positive D. Indifferent
15. What will the author talk about next
A. The tendency of plastic pollution.
B. The bad effects of plastic pollution.
C. The measures to deal with plastic pollution.
D. The reason for plastic pollution in the ocean.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了最新研究发现海洋塑料污染问题日趋严重， 呼吁政府、塑料制品行业合作解决海洋塑料污染问题。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The plastics break down over time into minute particles(微小颗粒) that cannot be seen by eyes, but find their way into the ocean ecosystem and into the seafood humans consume. “Microplastics are a problem because they are mistaken for food and eaten by small marine animals.” Charlene Trestrail said. “Once eaten, microplastics can damage an animal’s intestines(肠), and give out potentially harmful chemicals inside animals.”(随着时间的推移，塑料会分解成肉眼看不见的微小颗粒，但会进入海洋生态系统和人类食用的海鲜中。Charlene Trestrail说：“微塑料是一个问题，因为它们被误认为是食物，被小型海洋动物吃掉。一旦被食用，微塑料会损害动物的肠道，并在动物体内释放出潜在的有害化学物质。”)”可知，本段主要说明的是微塑料的危害。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“much of the blame was placed on the plastics industry for failing to recycle or design for recyclability. (大部分责任都归咎于塑料行业未能回收或设计可回收性。)”可知，海洋中的塑料污染应该归咎于塑料行业。故选A。

细节理解题。根据第五段“This research shows us that beach cleanups and citizen science projects that focus on the environmental problems of plastics have little impact on solving the problem. (这项研究向我们表明，海滩清理和关注塑料环境问题的公民科学项目对解决问题几乎没有影响。)”可知，海滩清理收效甚微。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is time for policymakers, governments and businesses to wake up and take the issue seriously. (现在是政策制定者、政府和企业清醒过来，认真对待这个问题的时候了。)”可知，作者接下来会写如何解决海洋塑料污染问题。故选C。

Swimming also works your abs (腹肌)and will reduce your waist line.(游泳也能锻炼你的腹肌，还能缩小你的腰围)补充说明了游泳还能锻炼腹肌，缩小腰围，承接上文；下一句“So along with building fitness, it is a wonderful full body exercise.(所以除了健身，它还是一种很好的全身锻炼)”对游泳的锻炼功效给出了总结，语意衔接合理。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据下一句“They can cause a positive feeling into your body which makes you happy.(它们可以给你的身体带来一种积极的感觉，让你快乐)”可知，空处应提到了某种可以让人感到快乐的物质。由此可知，选项E. Exercise gives off chemicals in your body called endorphins (内啡肽).(运动在你体内释放一种叫做内啡肽的化学物质)符合语境，下一句中的“They”指代选项E中的“chemicals”。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据第二、三、四段主题句可知，空处应为祈使句，为段落主题句，故答案选自A或B。根据下文中“While swimming is an individual sport, it is also very social. You can meet people from all walks of life when swimming. (虽然游泳是一项个人运动，但它也是一项社交运动。在游泳的时候，你可以遇到各行各业的人)”可知，本段主要说明了游泳可以结识很多朋友。由此可知，选项B. Meet new people(结识新人)符合语境，适合作本段主题句。故选B。

One day, I found a wallet on the street. The wallet contained only three dollars and a very old letter. The envelope was worn and the only thing on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some information. Then I saw the date-1990, and the signature-Beatrice. The letter was written several decades ago.
Then I made every effort and found out that Beatrice was now working in a hospital. I showed her the letter. The second she saw the letter, she took a deep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Henry. He is my only brother. I loved him very much. I was only 16 at the time and my brother is two years younger than me. If you can find him, tell him I'm still looking for him,” she said and tears began to well up in her eyes. “Mother is waiting for him to come back home.”
When I walked out of the building with the wallet in my hand, the guard of the building recognized the wallet, and with his help, I finally found its owner, Henry. I handed the wallet to Henry and he said, “Yes, that's mine! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon.”
“I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet.” I said. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He asked, “You read that letter ” “Not only did I read it, but also Beatrice read.” I replied. He suddenly became excited. “Beatrice You know where she is How is she Please tell me,” he begged. “She's fine. She has been looking for you.” I said softly.
He grabbed my hand and said, “Sir, you know she is my only sister in this world. I've always missed her.”
Henry and I took the elevator (电梯) down to Beatrice's room. I walked over to her. “Beatrice,” I said softly, pointing to Henry, who was waiting with me in the doorway. “Do you know the man ”

It was Jennifer Williams’ mother who got her interested in books. As a librarian, Williams’ mother read to her three children every day. “From when we hadn’t gone to kindergarten,” Williams told , a local news site, “until we went to college.”
When Williams, who is now 54, became an elementary school teacher and tutor in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to be falling in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had little chance to get enough books to read.
To Williams, the solution was simple: give kids books. In 2017, she donated (捐赠) 900 used children’s books over three days. “I wanted to do something that’s going to continue my faith,” she said.
So she started a new project for herself: give away one million books. It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don’t complain in the stand if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”
She got to work, first by persuading her friends to donate books or money to buy books. Before long, as news of Williams’ project spread, strangers started leaving varieties of book son her front walkway. As quickly as the books came in, Williams gave them to local schools free of charge—and also supplies 41,000 books to little free libraries around the city just over the North Carolina border. She also hosted a book club for prisoners in the local prison.
In the four years she’s been doing all this. The Book Lady, as Williams has come to be celebrated, has given away more than 78,000 books—only 922,000 more to reach her goal! And she’s not slowing down. “Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”
4. What made Williams decide to give away books
A. The desire for being famous. B. Her mother’s faith in reading.
C. The requirement of teaching. D. The shortage of kids’ books.
5. What did Williams do to encourage people to read
A. She gave all the books collected to local schools.
B. She persuaded her friends to donate only money.
C. She invited strangers to leave books in her house.
D. She hosted a book club locally for prisoners.
6. What does the underlined word “celebrated” in the last paragraph mean
A. Positive. B. Serious. C. Famous. D. Proud.
7. Which of the following best describes Jennifer Williams
A. Humorous and confident. B. Kind and influential.
C. Curious and professional. D. Independent and smart.
C
In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地) long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.
8. How did the task “Kindness Week Challenge” affect Brennan
A. He discovered his love of chocolates.
B. He became a good friend of Ms. Ann.
C. He developed a habit of receiving gifts.
D He learned how to choose attractive things.
9. What do Brennan and Ms. Ann both like

10. What makes Traci feel proud of Brennan
A. His kindness to others.
B. His talent for telling stories.
C. His good performances at school.
D. His ability to earn money for the gifts.
11. How do Ms. Ann’s family feel about Brennan
A. Worried. B. Sorry. C. Thankful. D. Surprised.

Walking along any beach in the world, you will find plastic of some kind on the shoreline, offering a reminder of the throwaway culture of the present day world. Now, a study has sounded a fresh warning on the damage caused to the marine (海洋的) ecosystem due to plastics, which eventually has an effect on human health due to the seafood we eat
In a paper titled “A Growing Plastic Smog”, researchers called on governments around the world to take firm action to handle the “plastic pollution” of the world's oceans.
The plastics break down over time into minute particles(微小颗粒) that cannot be seen by eyes, but find their way into the ocean ecosystem and into the seafood humans consume. “Microplastics are a problem because they are mistaken for food and eaten by small marine animals.” Charlene Trestrail said. “Once eaten, microplastics can damage an animal’s intestines(肠), and give out potentially harmful chemicals inside animals.”
Charlene Trestrail, a researcher at the University of Technology Sydney, said “the study shows just how big the problem is and that much of the blame was placed on the plastics industry for failing to recycle or design for recyclability.”
Paul Harvey, an environmental scientist, said “Globally, we have reached a point where we can no longer ignore the plastic pollution pandemic(流行病) that is infecting our oceans. This research shows us that beach cleanups and citizen science projects that focus on the environmental problems of plastics have little impact on solving the problem.”
Marcus Eriksen, lead author of the study, said that the findings were a “stark warning that we must act now at a global scale”. “Cleanup is useless if we continue to produce plastic at the current/rate, and we have heard about recycling for too long, while the plastic industry refuses any commitments to buy recycled material or design for recyclability. It is time for policymakers, governments and businesses to wake up and take the issue seriously.”
12. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The effect of chemicals. B. The harm of microplastics.
C. The food of marine animals. D. The breakdown of microplastics.
13. Who is to blame most for plastic pollution in the ocean
A. Plastics industry. B. Government. C. Tourists. D. Cleaners
14. What does Paul Harvey think of beach cleanups
A. Useful. B. Negative C. Positive D. Indifferent
15. What will the author talk about next
A. The tendency of plastic pollution.
B. The bad effects of plastic pollution.
C. The measures to deal with plastic pollution.
D. The reason for plastic pollution in the ocean.

47. 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。
One day, I found a wallet on the street. The wallet contained only three dollars and a very old letter. The envelope was worn and the only thing on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some information. Then I saw the date-1990, and the signature-Beatrice. The letter was written several decades ago.
Then I made every effort and found out that Beatrice was now working in a hospital. I showed her the letter. The second she saw the letter, she took a deep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Henry. He is my only brother. I loved him very much. I was only 16 at the time and my brother is two years younger than me. If you can find him, tell him I'm still looking for him,” she said and tears began to well up in her eyes. “Mother is waiting for him to come back home.”
When I walked out of the building with the wallet in my hand, the guard of the building recognized the wallet, and with his help, I finally found its owner, Henry. I handed the wallet to Henry and he said, “Yes, that's mine! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon.”
“I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet.” I said. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He asked, “You read that letter ” “Not only did I read it, but also Beatrice read.” I replied. He suddenly became excited. “Beatrice You know where she is How is she Please tell me,” he begged. “She's fine. She has been looking for you.” I said softly.
He grabbed my hand and said, “Sir, you know she is my only sister in this world. I've always missed her.”
Henry and I took the elevator (电梯) down to Beatrice's room. I walked over to her. “Beatrice,” I said softly, pointing to Henry, who was waiting with me in the doorway. “Do you know the man ”
