(2021·天津实验中学滨海学校高一期中)
“Where did the Christmas basket sitting on our front porch come from ”I thought to myself.I’d just returned from the bank,where I’d withdrawn enough cash to get us through the holidays.Life was a struggle,raising two teenagers as a single mom while working two part-time jobs and taking college courses at night.I was extremely tired.
Looking for a card or note,I searched the basket which was filled with all sorts of holiday foodstuffs.However,there was none.Had someone entered my name into a charity The timing couldn’t have been better.It would support us through a period of difficult time.
At that very moment I felt a bit guilty (内疚).Wasn’t there someone else out there who needed it more Yes,my kids and I were struggling,but my grandparents relied only on the state pension (国家抚恤金) to get by.At least I could always pick up extra hours at work.And when I finished my degree,things would improve a lot.
My conscience (良心) won the debate.I drove to Grandma and Grandpa’s little two-room house.Grandma opened the door.“Merry Christmas,Grandma!”I said,handing the Christmas basket to her.Grandma was thrilled.“Oh,thank you,Connie!We’ll be able to have such a nice dinner this Sunday.This will really help us until our pension comes.But what about you ”“We’ll be fine,”I said.After a short visit I excused myself.“I still have a lot of work to do,so I should head back.”
On the way home,thinking about Grandma’s smile,I knew the basket had gone to the right place.But like Grandma said,what about us I still worried about how I could afford to make Christmas special for my kids.Then I saw it in front of my house,in the same spot as before — an identical Christmas basket,every bit as lovely as the first.

If one thing on your wish-list is a stress-free holiday,then here are some shopping tips prepared for you,which will save both your time and money.
Don’t be tough on your brains. 1 Don’t be afraid to look for clues and ask for ideas.First,see whether the folks on your to-buy-for list have already dropped some valuable hints of their dreamed items.If you strike out,encourage your lucky recipients to post items they wish someone would buy for them.You can also find inspiration in the many online gift guides. 2 — Gifts for Dads,Gifts for Golfers and such.Then you’ll get the idea.
3 You really can enlist your own personal helpers.Don’t feel guilty about that.Many stores have free professional shoppers who can pick out presents for you.We’re not talking just high-end stores such as Blooming-dale’s and Nordstrom. 4 They’re all hungry to win your business away from online retailers.But you’ll likely need an appointment,so call ahead or search stores’ websites for “personal shopping”.You’ll typically find a link on the home page under Contact Us or Services.
Have gifts delivered.Time is money,and for not a lot of money you can save a lot of time by having your gifts delivered right to your door.Some mom-and-pop shops offer delivery service while chain stores tend to charge for that,but it still might be worth paying for the convenience. 5 First download the free app and see whether it’s available in your area.Then type the name of a store into the search bar,click on the store,and enter the item you want.
A.Make an appointment ahead.
B.Can’t figure out what to buy
C.Do you wish for a stress-free holiday
D.Get someone else to do shopping for you.
E.They are typically organized by recipient,interest,and/or price range.
F.Others like Macy’s and J.Crew will also let you leave the shopping to them.
G.For local stores that don’t offer this convenience,try the Post-mates delivery service.

(2021·江苏镇江第一中学高一期中)
One rainy afternoon,I was on a cross-town bus when a young woman jumped on.She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.
The bus was full,bumpy,and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn’t sit next to his mother.There were a couple of open seats,but they weren’t together.She was flustered and looked embarrassed.
Then another woman,a little older,stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together.The mom smiled as a thank-you.And then three words came out of the older woman’s mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride:“I’ve been there.”
Simple,undramatic and honest.In that moment,it seemed to unite people.Why Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences.We forget that,as we forge (前进) through life,focused on our own troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think.How can these three words create more connection in your life Ask yourself:“Where am I holding back ”
One thing I know for sure is this:Healing others helps heal yourself.I noticed this recently with my friend,Tracy,who took a new friend who had suffered miscarriage under her wing.Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago.Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things,yes.But our souls need human connection to help us along.No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.
Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now It can be as simple as volunteering your seat,sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone’s uncomfortable—because we’re all in this together.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由作者在公交车上看到一位老太太给一对母子让座,老太太对那位母亲说“I’ve been there.(我也经历过)”而引发了对这三个字的思考,并联想到自身小时候家中贫困的经历。作者认为个人的烦恼和需求大多是共同的经历,这三个字可以帮助安慰别人现在的痛苦,将人们联系在一起。

Volunteers have been thanked for giving up their time to help out groups at community centres across South Tyneside.A ceremony was held at South Shields Town Hall to recognize people for their hard work and contribution in running groups supporting their communities.

South Tyneside Mayor Richard Porthouse said:“Volunteers are the lifeblood of so many of our organizations.Without their work and support,many sporting clubs and community groups would no longer be able to operate.It is,therefore,only right that their contribution is rewarded in this way.”
More than 9,000 members take part in a range of activities at the borough’s 14 community associations,ranging from running youth clubs to taking part in performing arts.The event in South Tyneside was one of hundreds across the UK held during National Volunteers Week.South Tyneside Council for Voluntary Service has launched its volunteer awards.There are four categories—for groups or individuals helping within the community,for those helping people to improve their health and wellbeing,for those supporting young people and families and for the volunteer of the year.
There is still time to nominate a volunteer for an award.The deadline for putting their names in the list is Monday,August 3.To nominate someone,call Ian Carr on 0191-456-9555.

Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others.For example,some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals,orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the aged.They read books to the people in these places,or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young people volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old.They paint,clean up,or repair their houses,do their shopping or mow their lawns.For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers.College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts.Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains,the beaches,museums or other places of interest.Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

A little kindness goes a long way.Here are four ways to include acts of kindness into your next family vacation.
※ Pack an attitude of thankfulness.
Leave impatience behind and offer thanks to those you meet along the way.From bus drivers to tour guides,encourage kids to say “thank you”. 36 If you love your hotel stay or ship experience,leave a note congratulating the whole crew for a job well done.
※ Notice everything around you
Encourage kids to take note of the elderly or the disabled who might be standing in a crowded bus or hall while the young sit in chairs.Discuss how offering a seat or opening a door can be helpful. 37

※ 39
Research your destination (目的地) to determine if there is a chance to combine healthy exercise with the chance to give back in your destination.Ask your hotel about chances or connect with the local tourism organization for ideas. 40 If there is a charity (慈善团体) you support or have interest in at home,give them a call to see if they can provide a phone number at your destination.

Last Saturday,our class volunteered at the nursing home in our city.On arriving there at 9 o’clock,we began our work immediately.Some students cleaned and decorated the elderly’s rooms,while others sang songs for the elderly and chatted with them in the yard,which made the old people relaxed.Besides,we also cooked the old people a delicious meal and they thought highly of it.Time flew.When it was time for us to leave,everyone felt tired but happy because of the elderly’s praise and gratitude.
What a meaningful day it was!
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。
To anyone else,it was just a simple white cotton bag,but to me,it was a canvas for my latest masterpiece.I laid it flat on the six-foot-long wooden table in my kitchen.With one hand I held down a corner of the bag,with the other I dipped my brush in the paint and touched it to the canvas,and slowly an image took shape,waves crashing on a sandy beach,seagulls flying above,fishing for a meal.I put down my brush and rubbed my neck.It was hard work,but I enjoyed it.And my friends and family loved the bags.“I get tons of praises on mine,” my mother-in-law told me.“My friends are always asking where they can buy one.”
Those weren’t quite the honor I’d dreamed of when I first picked up a paintbrush as a kid.I used to aim higher.I wanted my work to appear in the Louvre Museum in Paris,right next to the Mona Lisa.But even then,I knew what a wild dream it was.
My parents encouraged my interest,and paid for art lessons.In high school,I joined an art club,and showed my work along with other local artists in an exhibition.I started college and majored in fine art,took classes in drawing and design.But the farthest I ever traveled was New York City.The Louvre might as well have been on another planet.Then things changed.I met and fell in love with Charlie.After we got married,I took a break from art.Making a home together was more important.Art supplies didn’t fit into our budget.
When I finally picked up a brush again,I was rusty.I tried a landscape but it was flat.Things in the foreground were the same size as in the background.I’d lost the ability.I threw down my brush in frustration.Maybe I’d never really had any talent at all.Forget the Louvre,my work wasn’t good enough to hang in our living room.Charlie turned me around.“You have a talent,” he told me.“Keep painting.” He helped me find room in our budget for paints and brushes.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
One day,walking through town,I found some white cotton bags
The next month,Charlie and I visited the Louvre Museum in Paris.
参考范文
One day,walking through town,I found some white cotton bags in a store window.What an interesting canvas they could be!I bought a few and began painting them.There was no shortage of inspiration at that time.My mother-in-law took some of my pieces and sent them to her friends.She came home with the proudest smile and told me that they all wanted to order them.It wasn’t a money-making project—I barely covered the cost of materials.But seeing others appreciate my art made me feel good.
The next month,Charlie and I visited the Louvre Museum in Paris. Of course we took along my bag.For two hours,we wandered the museum.There was so much to see,and of course,the Mona Lisa. But every few minutes,somebody stopped me.They asked me where they could get that bag.Some folks thought I’d bought it in the gift shop there!I had to tell them it was my work.It may not be a Mona Lisa,but that doesn’t matter.第五单元测评

You may be familiar with the following famous people,but have you heard of their graduation speeches,in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(灵感).
Michael Dell,University of Texas at Austin
And now you’ve accomplished something great and important here,and it’s time for you to move on to what’s next.And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps... You must also commit to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed(赐予) with and go.
J.K.Rowling,Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most of myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure,you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
Steve Jobs,Stanford University
Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don’t lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking and don’t settle.
Bill Gates,Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world’s inequities(不公平) like hunger,poverty,and so on.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了乔布斯等名人的毕业演讲,有些名人讲述了他们难忘的经历,有些则讲述了人生的启示。

Around this time of year when the weather gets cooler in Arkansas,there are a lot of homeless people,as well as people with different situations who just need help.
Oftentimes our family serves at a soup kitchen where they give out bags of food to needy families in our area.And we’ll help put those bags of food together and hand them out,among other things.
There are a lot of reasons why serving the community is important to me,but one of them has to do with my father.My grandfather died when my father was 4 years old and my grandmother had four kids all under the age of 5,all born pretty close together.That was a time when things were so bad in the country.There wasn’t work and often the family hardly made ends meet,so my grandmother put the kids in a children’s home so that they could at least have food to survive.
My dad said he never forgot the local charity would bring the kids a gift for Christmas.The kids worked hard in the children’s home and the only present they got was from the local charity.He never forgot this kindness and always appreciated the local charity for what it did when he was a little boy.
My dad was such a hardworking worker-family meant the world to him.I was the seventh baby in my family and my mother had me just after she turned 40.She was one of those high-risk pregnancy moms,and I’m so grateful she had me.My mom and dad made a happy home for us,and I’m so grateful for that.I hope my children are catching those lessons,not just from Mom and Dad,but from grandparents and everyone else in their lives.

It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.
If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet,each year more than 11 million early deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.
Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet
The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.
Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet.He said,“More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”
The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim.But for them,doing nothing is also not a choice.Willet said,“If we can’t make the best diet,it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”

(2021·河南洛阳第一高级中学高一月考)
Do you have a spare room in your house Do you like to share your drive way in front of your garage with others Both of these can help you make money. 36
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb—an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments. 37 A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder,Anthony Eskinaizi,says,“when I had the original idea,I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in the driveway rather than in a commercial car park.” 38 Around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the website,and he says around half a million drivers use it.
39 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money.
40 Regulations for these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet.
A.And there is another problem.
B.A commercial car park is inconvenient.
C.And his great idea has proved a success.
D.But the new business of renting has its competitors.
E.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market.
F.But the government says no to the new business of renting.
G.Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.

36.G 根据上文可知,和人分享空房间和车库前的地方都可以帮助你赚钱。即很多人正在受益于这种新的租赁业务。G项和上文保持语意一致。
37.E 根据上文可知,美国的Airbnb在网络上做这方面的业务做得很好,在34 000个城市经营着800 000个房间和公寓,所以可推测出该公司占据主要的市场份额。
38.C 根据上下文可知,JustPark’s的创始人Anthony Eskinaizi做了一个出租停车位的生意,很火爆。大约2万人在网站上登记出租车位,有约50万名司机受益。所以证明他的想法很成功。
39.D 根据下文可知,从事传统的酒店和商业停车场之类的人恐怕最终会赔本。所以选择D项。
40.A 根据下文可知,这些新的商业法规尚不清楚。租你的车道上将如何影响你的邻居 因为这是个新的商业世界,规则还没有。所以选A项(还有一个问题。)与上下文一致。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The true purpose of a business,Peter Drucker said,is to create and keep customers.“Customer value”has several definitions.I use the 41 to mean the total lifetime value of a company’s customer panies can increase this value by 42 more customers,earning more business from existing ones,keeping them longer,making their experience simpler through digital improvements and so on. 43 leaders have long understood the importance of concentrating on customer value rather than pursuing short-term profits or quarterly earnings,and they’ve become enduring customer loyalty leaders in the process.It’s worth noting that a number of loyalty-leading companies are able to 44 shareholder pressure,or avoid it altogether,because they are founder-led,customer-owned,or not publicly traded.
Companies can 45 customer value in a variety of ways:To increase 46 ,enterprise software companies sometimes charge corporate customers change fees that can raise the total cost of ownership to as much as three times the original price.To reduce operating costs,restaurant chains sometimes 47 frozen and precooked ingredients in place of fresh and made-to-order food.The resulting profits may look good on the income statement.Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth.But they also 48 potential customers and encourage disloyalty.
Given the importance of customer value,leaders should track it as much as they track other key assets (资产),such as buildings,machinery,and marketable securities.They also should reveal it in their quarterly and annual earnings releases so that investors can make 49 judgments about company performance and how it compares with that of industry peers.But most companies 50 believe that measuring customer value is too difficult or costly.They continue to rely on a centuries-old accounting tradition that emphasizes physical and financial assets,and neither income statements nor balance sheets offer much 51 into the value of a company’s customers.
As investors wake up to the importance of customer value,however,many growth-stage companies now direct investors’ attention to 52 in growing the value of their customer base.Some public companies increasingly report various types of customer value metrics (指标).One of the UK’s top energy suppliers E.ON, 53 ,reports year-over-year customer counts in its financial report.“As a customer-focused company,”E.ON noted,“we see customer value as crucial to our success.”
This is a start,but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements,investors still have a(n) 54 picture.The minority of companies that do provide customer value information decide for themselves what to disclose. 55 ,firms may calculate customer metrics differently or change them to tell a desired story,or simply stop reporting them if they fail to go with the company’s preferred narrative.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了顾客价值对于公司发展的重大意义。
41.A.item B.version
C.term D.definition
答案C
解析item项;version版本;term术语;definition定义。该空上一句提及的customer value是一个术语,并不是一个定义。故选C项。
42.A.persuading B.consulting
C.acquiring D.inspecting
答案C
解析persuade说服;consult咨询;acquire获得;inspect视察,观察。通过“earning more business from existing ones”,可以判断出获得更多客户才有更多利润。故选C项。
43.A.Considerate B.Visionary
C.Determined D.Powerful
答案B
解析considerate体贴的;visionary有预见的;determined决绝的;powerful有力的。该空后提及“领导早已理解客户价值的重要性”,这里强调的是那些有远见、深谋远虑的领导。故选B项。
44.A.resist B.relieve
C.intensify D.maintain
答案A
解析resist抵抗;relieve减轻;intensify加强;maintain维持。根据后句的“or avoid it altogether”,可以判断该空与后面的句子在语义上表达的是同一个意思,即抵御风险。故选A项。
45.A.raise B.adopt
C.calculate D.destroy
答案D

46.A.income B.experience
C.productivity D.demand
答案A
解析income收入;experience经历,经验;productivity生产力;demand要求。通过该段后文的“The resulting profits may look good on the income statement.”可以看出,公司采取这些策略的目的是提高收益,减少成本。故选A项。
47.A.separate B.substitute
C.forbid D.combine
答案B
解析separate分隔;substitute代替;forbid禁止;combine组合。该句提及“To reduce operating costs”可以判断出公司会采取手段来缩减运营成本,用速冻或预加工产品代替新鲜定制的食物会提升餐馆运营效率,从而提高营业额。故选B项。
48.A.appeal to B.rely on
C.put down D.scare off
答案D
解析appeal to对……有吸引力;rely on依靠;put down放下;scare off吓跑。该空前一句提及“Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth.”但话锋一转,作者使用了but,可以推断出其实这种做法并不是最可靠有效的,甚至会吓跑潜在客户群。故选D项。
49.A.informed B.subjective
C.definitive D.independent
答案A
解析informed了解情况的;subjective主观的;definitive确信的;independent独立自主的。下文提及公司应该公开一些报表数据,从消费者角度就可以得到更多信息从而客观评价公司的业绩了。故选A项。
50.A.fully B.hardly
C.readily D.wrongly
答案D
解析fully彻底地;hardly艰难地;readily毫不犹豫,迅速地;wrongly错误地。由该空前面的but可以推断出,在现实当中,大多数公司并没有像文章中那样做,而是理所当然认为衡量顾客价值的方法不可取。故选D项。
51.A.suspicion B.extension
C.literacy D.visibility
答案D
解析suspicion怀疑;extension拓展;literacy素养;visibility可见。因为上文提及好多公司并没有衡量顾客价值,自然也就没有可看得到的相关数据。故选D项。
52.A.sacrifice B.success
C.prejudice D.expense
答案B
解析sacrifice牺牲;success成功;prejudice偏见;expense花费。上文提及虽然有很多公司开始考虑顾客价值这一问题,但还是有很多公司没有考虑如何成功提升客户群价值。故选B项。
53.A.as a result B.for example
C.on the contrary D.in general
答案B
解析as a result因此;for example例如;on the contrary恰相反;in general大体上。作者在这里以英国能源供应商的实际例子来支撑客户价值意义这一观点。故选B项。
54.A.incomplete B.depressing
C.convincing D.vivid
答案A
解析incomplete不完整的;depressing沮丧的,萧条的;convincing有说服力的;vivid栩栩如生的。前文提及“This is a start,but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements”可以判断,对于这一“客户价值”问题还有许多事情亟待完善,所以对于投资者来说,图景是不完整的。故选A项。
55.A.Instead B.Further
C.Otherwise D.Therefore
答案B
解析instead反而,代替;further进一步,再者;otherwise否则;therefore因此。该空前后提及的两种情况是递进关系,所以使用“更进一步”较为合适。故选B项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国的金融师Anne Kersten通过开办家庭讲习班来帮助孩子明智地分享、储蓄和花钱,并以自己的女儿为例来说明孩子学会理财的重要性。
56.a 考查冠词。形容词financial修饰可数名词teacher,且financial的首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
57.designed 考查过去分词。分析句子可知,workshops与designed在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词。故填designed。
58.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,workshops为先行词,在后面的定语从句中作主语,所以关系词为that/which。故填that/which。
59.wisely 考查副词。这里用副词修饰动词share,save,spend。故填 wisely。
60.or 考查连词。either...or“或者……或者”为固定短语。故填or。

64.from 考查介词。graduate from意为“从……毕业”,故填from。
65.to help 考查动词不定式。分析句子可知,动词不定式作目的状语。故填to help。

试以“Can Money Buy Happiness ”(金钱能买来幸福吗 )为题写一篇议论文,必须包括以下内容:
1.有人认为金钱是幸福之本(source of happiness);
2.也有人认为金钱是万恶之源(root of all evil);
3.你的看法。
注意:1.词数80个左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考范文
Can Money Buy Happiness
Different people have different opinions.Some think yes,while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants,and live a life of comfort and security.However,it is equally true that a lack of money causes great distress.It is a common view that money is the root of all evil.The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal.In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money,resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.
So,money does not necessarily mean happiness.It all depends on how it is used.If we make honest and sensible use of money,it can be a stepping-stone to happiness.Although money cannot buy happiness,it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

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。
Having been a stay-at-home mom for 26 years,Atlanta-born KC just turned 50 and sought a job.She was not just looking for some thing to do.Putting four kids through college had left her in severe financial problems.Getting a job was a must!
From childhood,all KC wanted to be was a mom.“That’s all.I’m just a mom who stayed home with my children and created a good and comfortable home for my family.”She was not sure why that ambition was so strong for her.“My mom worked full-time,so I did not see her often.Maybe because I wished she was at home with me,”KC said.
So after the birth of her first child,KC gave up her job and spent the next 26 years taking care of her children and family.But after such a long time,she wanted to find a job.
She realized the difficulty of the situation.When she sent out a resume that had a 26-year-gap,she knew it was lucky if she could even get an interview,let alone an offer.On the other side,her education was also one of the obstacles.The fact that she didn’t go to college was influential.At the time that she graduated from high school,it wasn’t common for girls to go to college.It was only a dream.
So after her own experiences,she advised others that,“Get a college degree!I wouldn’t change a thing about being a stay-at-home mom,but do something—no matter how small—to keep your skills up to date.There are so many choices these days that it would be easy to do while being a full-time mom.
KC would still like to get a degree and discussed it with her husband.Her husband thought that she needed to get a job first,then went to a part-time school.She agreed.
With a college degree seemingly impossible at the moment,KC wanted to develop her skills so she would be ready for the workforce.She wanted to keep up with current technology.But it was hard.She took a class on skills and loved to learn new soft wares.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
In the class,she was the oldest student.
Although she didn’t regret that
参考范文
In the class,she was the oldest student.She worked hard and almost devoted all her time to study,though learning was hard for her.KC often read related books till midnight.She wanted to catch up with the times as soon as possible.Besides,she bought a computer to learn some common softwares.She learned one was often asked whether she/he mastered the basic softwares in an interview.She made up her mind to be prepared for it and answered the question proudly.
Although she didn’t regret that she spent a lot of time taking care of her children,she thought she shouldn’t give up studying.From her own experiences,she realized the importance of education.She wished the young could make full use of the time and chances to go to college.After graduation from college,they could get better chances to realise their own dreams.UNIT 1FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS

I’m May.High school seniors all around the U.S.scramble (争抢) to get ready for prom.Prom,short for promenade,is a formal dance held by a high school before graduation.It’s an important aspect of American school culture because it’s the last high-school dance seniors will ever attend.
Prom entails (牵涉) countless traditions.First a guy must ask a girl to go to prom with him.Most guys choose to do special prom proposals in hopes of winning the girl’s heart with their creativity.Then he will rent a tuxedo (燕尾服),and the girl will often get their hair,nails and makeup done professionally.That night couples will take pictures,and then they will often take a limousine (豪华轿车) to dinner and to the dance.Several reports state that parents can spend upward of $2,000 to give their kids the perfect prom experience.
The history of prom can be traced back to the last half of the 1800s.At that time,American universities and colleges organized dances each year for their graduating students.The purpose was not only to entertain the students but also to prepare them for the wider world by teaching them proper manners for men and women.
Later,high schools took over the prom tradition.In the 1950s,high schools began moving the dance from their gyms to beautiful hotels or country clubs to make the event even more special.Perhaps the most amazing prom took place in 1975,when Susan Ford,the daughter of the country’s president,received permission to hold her high school’s prom at the White House.So far,no other prom has managed to top that.

(江苏海安高级中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中)
My husband jokes with me that my midlife crisis was having my now 11-year-old daughter in my 40s.
I started my career as Associate Editor at Woman’s World magazine in the late 1990s.Then I was a magazine editor-in-chief for five national consumer publications and also contributed to magazines like Longevity and New Woman.
Four years after getting married in 2005,I eventually gave birth to my daughter,Crystal.As I wrote on : “As the doctor checked her vital organs and my husband counted her 10 perfect fingers and toes,I realized that my body had produced a wonder.”
While my peers were dealing with the stresses of kids in school,I focused my creative energy on carving out my new identity.I was excited when I was offered a “Mom’s Talk”column where I wrote about toys,breastfeeding,and my ongoing(追求) for “baby-free”time.
When Crystal was 3 years old,I wrote an essay about watching her dance at a toddler(学步的小孩) reading group at the library,instead of sitting down with the other children.I expected her performance to annoy people,but her joyful dancing attracted them and made me consider my own possibilities.
“Had I ever been that way,I wondered.If so,could I be like that again Could I become as free as a child with her whole life ahead of her,ready and willing to be the star of her own production ”
As my daughter transformed from a toddler into a young girl,she continued to be my inspiration.I wrote about the new rules for babysitting and shared research showing that fathers who participated in housework had a positive impact on their daughter’s future success on The Washington Post.
I focused on providing Crystal with resilience-building(韧性) when she neared her teens.I wrote about powerful phrases for The Week,like “no one is the judge of your self-worth”.
As my daughter continues to grow during this messy time,there is one certainty:I will continue to tell my stories,through the eyes of my midlife wisdom.I can’t wait to see her next chapter—and for you to read mine.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者作为一名作家,主编及后来的新身份——宝妈,在事业与抚育孩子过程中的一些成长及感悟。

Almost every second of every day an older adult falls in the United States.That’s approximately 29 million falls per year and nearly 27,000 deaths,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Still in the stating stage,the Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) system in Switzerland wants to make a lightweight,wearable exoskeleton (外骨骼) that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recovery to keep the elderly wearer from falling,only when needed.
Other exoskeletons,either in development or on the market today,assist with movement and make heavy objects feel lighter.Mobility-impaired people can walk again.But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move.
The 3 kilogram (6.7 pound) exoskeleton was built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the body.A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces (支架),each one positioned on the outer side of a leg.Tiny motors and so-called “adaptive oscillators(适配振荡器)” in the computer circuits use a special process to detect the wearer’s unique paces.That part takes just a few minutes.
While wearing the exoskeleton,a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs.If their paces go against normal,the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up and push a little more strongly against the legs,which provides stability.
In the next three years,the APO hopes to develop something that is commercially available.

29.What’s the feature of the new exoskeleton

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and even taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.
【语篇解读】本文介绍了苹果节举办的时间、项目及地点。重点提到苹果节上种类丰富的苹果品种和有关苹果种植的相关知识,特别指出可以与苹果种植专家进行讨论等。再加上孩子们喜欢的以苹果为主题的趣味游戏,可以说,对于那些对苹果及苹果种植感兴趣的人极具吸引力。
32.What can people do at the apple events
A.Attend experts’ lectures.
B.Visit fruit-loving families.
C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D.Taste many kinds of apples.
答案D
解析细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and even taste,a wide variety of apples.”可知,在苹果节的活动中,人们可以品尝到各种苹果。故选D项。
33.What can we learn about Decio
A.It is a new variety.
B.It has a strange look.
C.It is rarely seen now.
D.It has a special taste.
答案C
解析推理判断题。由第二段第二句中的“it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.”可推知,Decio是以前由罗马人种植的一种苹果,现在的人们能够看到这种苹果就算是大开眼界了。由此推知现在Decio苹果非常罕见。故选C项。
34.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.A practical idea.
B.A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan.
D.A selfish desire.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。由第三段第二句可知,Orleans Reinette果品上佳,但是对温度、环境、土壤的要求很高,因此,对大多数喜欢种植该苹果的爱好者来说是a pipe dream (白日梦)。
35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To show how to grow apples.
B.To introduce an apple festival.
C.To help people select apples.
D.To promote apple research.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。通读全篇,文章主要介绍一个关于苹果的节日——苹果节。故选B项。

Riding a Mobike on the street,you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud. 36 Walking into a store,you may see Huawei smartphones for sale.This isn’t referring to China,but Manchester,UK. 37 Indeed,Chinese products have gone global.
38 But to meet local people’s tastes,Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes.“One example is the meat,”said Yin Hang,who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia.“We like to eat meat with the bone in,but people here don’t.So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones,even for fish.”
39 In many cities in Europe,stores sell TCL televisions,Haier fridges and Lenovo computers,reported Reuters.More than half of US-owned drones(无人机)are Chinese models,according to China Daily.They’re not simply made in China,but designed and developed in the country.
In the past,most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. 40 “Made in China”has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.For example,Huawei,one of China’s major smartphone makers,overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,behind only Samsung,noted consulting(咨询)firm Counterpoint Research.
“They are beautiful and offer some unique features American phones don’t have,”CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
A.But things have changed greatly.
B.What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands
C.Many Chinese brands are also becoming more popular.
D.Turning to the right,you may see a Chinese restaurant.
E.There are many restaurants providing Western foods in China.
F.Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.
G.In fact,you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。美国华人社区组织正准备于9月28日在纽约市最东部的皇后区法拉盛举行第二届年度国际孔子文化节。该活动不仅是纪念世界著名的中国哲学家孔子的盛大仪式,也是与当地其他社区一起庆祝中国文化的机会。文章介绍了这一节日的相关背景知识。
56.as 考查介词。结合句意表示“作为”可知短语为serve as。故填as。
57.features 考查动词。feature作谓语,陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为the festival,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
58.literally 考查副词。修饰后文动词translate应用副词literally,作状语。故填literally。
59.written 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知write在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语book构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作定语。故填written。
60.basic 考查形容词。修饰后文名词necessities,应用形容词basic,作定语。故填basic。
61.exhibitions 考查名词。表示“展览”应用名词exhibition,为可数名词,前文没有冠词,故用复数形式。故填exhibitions。

63.an 考查冠词。educator为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且extraordinary是发音以元音音素开头的单词,应用an。故填an。
64.that/who 考查强调句。去掉It was和空处,剩下的部分可以构成完整的句子,可知此处为强调句“it be+被强调部分+that+其他”,被强调部分为人时,可用who替换that。故填that/who。
65.consideration 考查名词。空处作宾语,表示“考虑”应用名词consideration,表抽象概念,不可数。故填consideration。

I was eight years old the first time I felt sympathy (同情) for my sister.It happened on Easter,one of our favorite holidays.
“Michelle,”I whispered on Easter morning.But there was no reply.“Now!”I shouted before putting my hand over my mouth.The last thing I wanted to do was wake up our parents.After a few minutes,my sister finally pulled herself out of bed.
It didn’t take long for me to find my basket.But twenty minutes later my sister was still looking for her basket.At her repeated requests,I decided to help,but don’t get the wrong idea.It wasn’t because I felt sorry for her.It was because I’d now been issued a challenge.I had a mission and a case to solve.The Case of the Missing Basket.
By now,our parents were awake.“Looks like the Easter bunny (复活节兔子) came!”Mum said,“You haven’t found your basket,Michelle Let’s keep looking.”Mum pointed to the hallway closet (壁橱),saying “We haven’t looked in any closets.”Michelle shot across the room,opened the closet door and started searching through the shoes and bags and gloves on the closet floor.Nothing.
“Look up!”I said.“Up above the jackets!”Mission completed.
“My basket!”she shouted.“Mum,can you get it ”Way up on the shelf where we usually kept our soaps was my sister’s Easter basket.
“Here you go,honey,”Mom said,as she handed Michelle her basket,too excited to notice anything strange before passing it off.And that’s when it happened.My sister,the tough girl that I,until that day,had never seen break down,started crying.

My sister’s Easter basket was empty except for the chocolate box ruined by mice.
But as I read my magazine,I felt something I’d never felt towards my sister before.

But as I read my magazine,I felt something I’d never felt towards my sister before.I was sad to see my sister crying,too.Suddenly,I had an idea that I could exchange gifts with my sister.I took out my basket,put it in front of my sister and said,“Michelle,don’t cry.I took the wrong gift.It’s yours.”Michelle stopped crying and said,“Really ”I said,“Of course.”Michelle laughed and began to sympathize with me,saying happily,“I’m going to share my chocolate with you.”Section D Reading for Writing & Assessing Your Progress

A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall
Each year,thousands of people are attracted to the Yosemite National Park in California for a chance of seeing — and photographing — the unique “firefall”.The amazing “firefall”comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle.It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.
This year,the weather isn’t stopping the “firefall”from happening,but it is making the journey to see it more difficult.
“What would have been a 10-minute walk turned into a two-hour hike through deep snow ”photographer Ryan Fitzsimons said about his recent trip to see the phenomenon.“Our clothes were all wet by the time we got to a viewing site.But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”
Another photographer Andy Heitz was making his first trip to see the “firefall”.He had to wait five hours in the extreme cold for his turn to take a picture.
“I got to the site at about 12:00 at noon.The place was already filled with hundreds of people waiting to see and photograph the ‘firefall’.I was so lucky that I shot a really wonderful burner!I was completely amazed with what I saw,”he said.“You know,only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’.I’ll never forget what I have seen.”
The “firefall” should continue to be there from 20 to 24 February.But park officials said that there’s no guarantee (保证) that visitors will see it on any given day.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国加州约塞米蒂的“火瀑布”。
1.When might be the best time to take pictures of the “firefall”
A.Early in the morning.
B.At noon.
C.Late in the afternoon.
D.At night.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The amazing ‘firefall’comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle.”可知,只有当融雪中有足够的水来保持马尾瀑布的流动,当夕阳以合适的角度照射到瀑布时,神奇的“火瀑布”才会出现。由此可知,“火瀑布”形成于日落时分,也是最好的拍照时间。故选C项。
2.What does the underlined word “burner”in Paragraph 5 refer to
A.A worker in the kitchen.
B.The fire in the Yosemite National Park.
C.A part of a cooker or stove.
D.The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子后面内容“You know,only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’.”可知,只有在每年2月的这几天,当太阳以完美的角度落在约塞米蒂的马尾瀑布上时,我们才能看到“火瀑布”。在画线词所在的句子中,摄影师安迪·海茨说“I was so lucky(我是如此幸运)”可推知,他拍到了完美的“火瀑布”。由此推知,画线词burner 指的就是The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.(夕阳下独特的马尾瀑布)故选D项。
3.Why might the “firefall” disappear between 20 to 24 February this year
A.There wouldn’t be enough snow.
B.It might be too cloudy.
C.The waterfall might not freeze.
D.The snow might met too fast.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.”可知,只有在二月份晴朗的天气才会看到它。结合文章第三段中的“But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”可知,今年刚下了大雪,所以“火瀑布”可能会消失的原因只能是没有太阳。故选B项。
4.What is the main purpose of this text
A.To introduce an attraction.
B.To give suggestions for a trip.
C.To advertise a park in the US.
D.To explain what is a “firefall ”.
答案A
解析推理判断题。结合文章的题目“A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall(约塞米蒂‘火瀑布’之旅)”和文章内容可知,文章的主要目的是介绍一处著名的景观——约塞米蒂“火瀑布”。故选A项。

Once upon a time,there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the top of the tree,ate the apples,and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.As time went by,the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day,the boy came back to the tree,appearing sad.“Come and play with me,”the tree asked the boy gently.“I am no longer a kid;I won’t play around trees anymore,”the boy replied,“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry,but I don’t have money.However,you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then,you will have money.”The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after that.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!”the tree requested.“I am sad and becoming old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat ”“Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.”So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Many years later,the boy finally returned.
The apple tree is our mother.
参考范文
Many years later,the boy finally returned.Feeling tired,he went to see the apple tree.At the sight of him,the tree said regretfully:“I’m sorry,boy,but now I no longer have anything for you,no apples,no trunk.”“It doesn’t matter.I have no intention of getting anything from you this time.As you know,I’m getting old and nothing is better than a comfortable place to rest.”said the boy.Hearing this,the tree smiled with relief,adding:“My dying trunk is the right one for you.Please come here and have a seat.”The boy did as told and the tree burst into tears,due to the fact that she could still devote herself to her boy.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young,she tries her best to take care of us and play with us.When we grow up,we leave her for some reason and only come back when necessary or in trouble.But she is always there,waiting for us and ready to offer what she owns without complaint.Never does she ask for rewards,instead,it is our happiness that she desires for.So,try to put ourselves in her shoes and learn to show concern for her.Section C Discovering Useful Structures & Listening and Talking

In our house,the kids do the chores they choose,and ask me or my husband to 11 their work.After that,cards written with corresponding value are given to them.On Fridays,they take out their cards and 12 the value.Even when our youngest earns more than the oldest,the oldest doesn’t 13 .
Now when we go to stores,the kids bring their 14 and choose their items more 15 than ever.

(2021·安徽蚌埠二中高一期中)
What makes a person a giver or a taker The idea of “give vs.take” takes shape in all interactions (互动) and relationships of our lives.We’re either giving advice,making time for people,or we’re on the receiving end.We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis,if not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant,a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,most people are matchers.They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back.They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards.Actually,most matchers will try hard to improve and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this
A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles,a professor at Harvard University,focused on this question.She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary rise.Male “employees” asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k.But why did they not bargain as hard as the men Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman,I do enjoy the act of giving up my time,my knowledge,and my care and attention to others.I expect anything in return,but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I’m being taken for granted(被认为当然).I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one’s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed.So,it’s safe to say I’m 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone,however,who is 99% giver.They’re continually devoting their time,sharing valuable insights (见解) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path.Although they’ve changed the lives of many people,they hardly see any of it returned.But the universe is slowly repaying them;they’re now extremely successful,well known for what they do.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。你是一个给予者还是索求者呢 本文主要告诉我们:我们每天都会根据不同的情况在这两者之间切换。
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Most people think they are givers.
B.People are not always givers or takers.
C.An individual is born to be a giver or a taker.
D.Few differences exist between givers and takers.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第一段末句“We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis”可知,每个人不会一直是giver或taker,是根据不同状况而变化的。故选B项。
2.What can we learn from Grant’s opinion
A.Most people hate takers.
B.Most people prefer giving to taking.
C.Most people enjoy relying on themselves.
D.Most people balance giving and taking.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段首句“According to Adam Grant,a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,most people are matchers.”可知,大多数人比较均衡,有时是付出给予,有时是得到回报。故选D项。
3.What did Hannah’s study focus on
A.The role of giving and taking in jobs.
B.The gender difference in giving and taking.
C.The role of men and women in society.
D.The salary difference between women and men.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段“Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this ”和第四段“A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles,a professor at Harvard University,focused on this question.”可知,Hannah的研究注重调研性别在成为giver还是taker问题上是否有影响。故选B项。
4.Which of the following represents the author’s point of view
A.Giving is the shortest path to success.
B.Sharing is the greatest human quality.
C.No good deed goes undone.
D.Givers are worth respecting.
答案C
解析推理判断题。最后一段是作者的观点,根据最后一句“But the universe is slowly repaying them;they’re now extremely successful,well known for what they do.”可知,最后作者表达付出终有回报,没有白做的好事。故选C项。

I am a proud mother of three children.My last little baby was born in the middle of August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida,my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly.She had a loom (织布机) and showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf.After I learned some skills,she gave me a small loom with her half done project.
I was looking after my sweet little baby at home,so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day.I enjoyed making the scarf so I bought a full loom set and tons of thread (线) and started to make woolen hats since it was winter.
I realized the homeless population in my town really needed some more warm clothes.I started to give away my hats to the people asking for food outside the food shop down the street I live in.
My oldest son Siddhartha got involved in the project and made a hat as well.I found that there was a non-profit organization on the way home,which made masks for farm workers and was asking for winter warm clothing donations.I made a lot of woolen hats and gave them to the organization which would hand them out to farm workers.
Then I,together with my son,made woolen hats for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts,and gave woolen hats to all my neighbors I was close to.There was a new family that moved in down the street.I did not know them very well but why not break the ice with some handmade gifts So I made hats for the mom and one-year-old baby.I knocked on the door and handed the gifts over and my neighbor was so happy to receive them.We talked happily and I learned she worked in a hospital.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
The new neighbor had limited knitting skills so she asked me to create sweaters for kids in hospital together.
Later,my new neighbor wanted to learn my knitting skills to serve the elderly in the nursing home.
参考范文
The new neighbor had limited knitting skills so she asked me to create sweaters for kids in hospital together.I agreed to the act of kindness because I had always been doing such similar things.In my spare time from babysitting,I was making children’s sweaters.A month later,I had done 20.My new neighbor,my son and I sent our gifts to the hospital.We explained our purpose,handed out sweaters to the parents and wished their kids a quick recovery.They all thanked me for our gifts.
Later,my new neighbor wanted to learn my knitting skills to serve the elderly in the nursing home.She really admired my skills,and I was glad to teach her,so she bought a set of loom just like mine.She quickly mastered the skills.Together we made winter hats for the old people in the nursing home.We soon made enough hats and gave them away to the old people,who needed these things badly.I hope that our gifts will make their life a little more comfortable.I’m happy to continue spreading this love to more people.Section B Reading and Thinking

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then you probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would you save your money
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐子),one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put your money in a savings account,one year later,you’ll have more money than you put in.Why
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money (and the money of other people,too) to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can’t touch your money during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者主要向我们介绍了一些可以让我们获得利息,让钱增值的方式,比如把钱存在银行或者购买存单。
1.Which way will help your money earn more money
A.Putting your money in your room.
B.Putting your money in a piggy bank.
C.Putting your money in your pocket.
D.Putting your money in a savings account.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you put your money in a savings account,one year later,you’ll have more money than you put in.”可知,把钱存进储蓄账户可以让你的钱变多,故选D项。
2.Interest is the amount of money which .
A.a bank lends to people
B.a bank loans to businesses
C.a bank pays you
D.a bank uses
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中“Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.”可知,利息是银行支付给你的报酬,故选C项。
3.A bank statement tells you .
A.the amount of money you have in the bank
B.the current rates of interest
C.the current rates of exchange
D.the best way to save your money
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第五段中“A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account.”可知,银行对账单告诉我们在银行里有多少钱,故选A项。
4.The underlined word “touch” in Paragraph 7 could be best replaced by .
A.“deposit” B.“borrow”
C.“use” D.“cash”
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据第七段中“You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time.”可知,如果买了存单,一定时期里是不能使用这些钱的。所以此段中“You can’t touch your money during that time.”中的touch表示“使用”,也就是“use”,故选C项。
Ⅴ.七选五
(2021·甘肃玉门第一中学高一期中)
Parents should help their children understand money. 1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.
Tell them the basic use of money.
Begin explaining the use of money by showing how people buy things.If your child wants to have a toy,give him the money and let him hand the money to the saleswoman. 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the use of money,you can start explaining more ways of using money.
Give them money lessons.
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money,explain,“You have enough toy trucks for now.”Or,if the request is for many different things,say, “You have to make a choice between this and that toy.”
4
Begin at a store.Pick out two similar brands of a product—a name brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example.You can show your child how to make choices between different brands(牌子) of a product so that you can save money. 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand,allow him to buy other things with the money saved.Later,you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A.Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B.Tell them the value of money.
C.Make wise decisions.
D.Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
E.Tell your child why he can or cannot have certain things.
F.Allow the child to choose between them.
G.The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者提出父母应该帮助孩子理解金钱的问题并提出了一些建议:了解关于货币的基本功能、钱的课程以及做出明智的决策。
1.G 下一句“So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.”通过举例说明,所以当你的孩子表现出买东西的兴趣时,比如糖果或玩具,你就可以开始谈论钱了。可知,此处内容与在孩子表现出兴趣的时候教他关于钱的知识有关,G项符合题意,引出下文。故选G项。
2.A 根据上一句“If your child wants to have a toy,give him the money and let him hand the money to the saleswoman.”可知,此处内容与交钱之后怎么做有关,A项符合题意。故选A项。
3.E 根据下文“If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money,explain,‘You have enough toy trucks for now.’Or,if the request is for many different things,say,‘You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.’”可知,此处内容与要告知孩子他能或者不能拥有某些东西有关,E项符合题意。故选E项。
4.C 空格处是段落小标题,概括本段的大意。根据下文“You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.”可知,本段内容与教孩子如何选择不同的产品并且能省钱有关,C项符合题意。故选C项。
5.F 根据上一句“You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.”以及下文“If he chooses the cheaper brand,allow him to buy other things with the money saved.Later,you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.”可知,此处内容与让孩子对两种东西做一个选择有关,F项符合题意。故选F项。Section D Reading for Writing & Assessing Your Progress

Guanmei,a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group,is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong (侗族大歌),a national intangible cultural heritage in China.Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou,southwestern China,is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.
The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago.The way Dong singers use their vocal cords (声带) is different from how formally trained singers do.It is a folk chorus with multi-parts,no conductor,and no accompaniment.Organically growing from their natural surroundings,it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature”.
Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958,the Dong culture,their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs.As a Dong saying goes,“Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul.”The Dong people sing right from their childhood.While not singing,they all work in their rice field.
Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life,making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas.“The songs are our means of passing on wisdom,knowledge and life experiences to others.I will not exist in this world 100 years later,but Grand songs will.I’m honored to do this job,”Guanmei said.
Kind-hearted,Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.Now she has more than 300 students.Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.
“Nowadays,more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities.Decades later,the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.It’s our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever,”added Guanmei.

A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on New Year’s Eve,so the shift(轮班)went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend New Year with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got New Year’s Eve duty again.At 9pm sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr Lee and said,“You probably don’t remember me,but last New Year’s Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr and Mrs Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9 pm,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.
Mr Lee,his family and I spent 13 New Year’s Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each New Year’s Eve.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Last year I saw Mrs Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.
I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶)bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved(雕刻) on it.

World Vision
Addyson Moffitt is an 8-year-old from Kansas City,Missouri.Maurine Ghelagat is a 9-year-old from a village in Kenya called Bartabwa.It might not seem as if the girls have much in common,but when they met at a dinner two years ago in Kansas City,they immediately hit it off.
“We had this little red ball to play with,”Addyson told Time for Kids.“We didn’t have any electronics or phones,iPads or TV.It was just us playing.”Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch now.
The dinner was hosted by the nonprofit group World Vision International,which builds wells,pipelines,and rain catchers in communities where people find it hard to get clean water.Addyson was at the dinner because her family supports World Vision.Maurine was there because her village had been without clean water.World Vision fixed that by building a water station there.
“People helped Maurine so she could have clean water,and kids are dying because they don’t have it,”Addyson says.“I want to help.”
Races are one way that World Vision raises money to pay for its water projects.Runners run a race,often a 26-mile marathon or 13-mile half marathon.They ask people to support them by donating(捐赠) money to World Vision.
Addyson decided to run the 2017 Kansas City Half Marathon for World Vision.At age 7,she was the youngest runner in the race,and had to get special permission to take part.
Addyson spent four months training with her parents,waking up before 6 a.m.to run.Meanwhile,she started fundraising(募捐)by asking friends to make donations as birthday presents and clearing tables at a restaurant for tips.
By October 2017,when Addyson ran the race,she’d raised more than $20,000.She’s the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than $10,000.In 2018,she ran again and raised $36,000.
But Addyson’s work is not finished.“My goal is for every kid to have clean water,”she says.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了八岁的女孩Addyson通过参加马拉松比赛为世界宣明会水利项目筹集资金,呼吁人们支持他们。
1.What does the underlined part “hit it off”in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Became friends.
B.Hit on a good idea.
C.Helped each other.
D.Reached an agreement.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据画线部分的前一分句“It might not seem as if the girls have much in common”可知Addyson和Maurine似乎没有共同点,but表示转折,由此可推知两年前她们一见如故。故可推测画线短语意思为“成为朋友”。故选A项。
2.What can we learn about Addyson’s family
A.They are good at marathons.
B.They run a restaurant in Kansas City.
C.They are generous and warm-hearted.
D.They founded World Vision International.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Addyson spent four months training with her parents,waking up before 6 a.m.to run.Meanwhile,she started fundraising(募捐) by asking friends to make donations as birthday presents and clearing tables at a restaurant for tips.”可知Addyson一家非常热心,慷慨大方。故选C项。
3.Why did Addyson run the Kansas City Half Marathon
A.To meet up with Maurine.
B.To compete with her parents.
C.To get a chance to have clean water.
D.To raise money for kids like Maurine.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第五段可知Addyson参加半程马拉松赛是为像Maurine这样的孩子筹集资金。故选D项。
4.What record has Addyson made in World Vision history
A.The first kid to finish a half marathon.
B.The first runner to raise more than $20,000.
C.The youngest runner in a 26-mile marathon.
D.The youngest kid to raise more than $10,000.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“She’s the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than $10,000.”可知Addyson是世界宣明会历史上筹集了超过1万美元的最年轻的人。故选D项。
Ⅴ.七选五
Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace,Florence,Italy.When she was almost a year old,she returned with her family to England.
Florence often helped her mother deliver food to the poor and sick. 1 Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession.
But Florence was determined.She studied books on medicine.Later,she visited hospitals in France,Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. 2
In 1854,Britain was at war with Russia.Florence went to the British hospital in Scutari (now sküdar in Istanbul) and she was shocked.The hospital left men lying on the floor,and rats were running everywhere. 3 Many soldiers died before receiving help.
The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals — until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. 4 Florence made changes,making sure the men were washed and their injuries were cared for.Every night she would check the patients with her lamp.
When she returned home after the war,a fund had been set up in her honor.Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions.Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London.
After years of hard work,Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. 5 All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”.
A.Nursing became an honored profession.
B.There was no running water and no heat.
C.She knew she had much to learn about nursing.
D.Florence saw the soldiers’ health had improved.
E.As she grew older,she decided to become a nurse.
F.They soon realized that Florence knew what she was doing.
G.Upon returning home,she was an expert on hospital management.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了护理先驱佛罗伦斯·南丁格尔的一生。
1.E 根据下一句“Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession.”可知,E项“随着南丁格尔慢慢长大,她决定要当一名护士。”符合该处语境。
2.G 根据上一句中的“she visited hospitals in France,Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could.”可知,南丁格尔回到英国后已经非常熟悉医院管理方面的知识。
3.B B项内容与上一句“The hospital left men lying on the floor,and rats were running everywhere.”并列,描述医院的惨状。
4.F 根据上一句中的“The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence”和下一句中的“Florence made changes”可知,划线处在此承上启下,因此F项“那些医生意识到南丁格尔能帮上忙”符合该处语境。
5.A 根据上一段末句中的“she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London”以及该段中的“cleaner and more cheerful hospitals”可知,南丁格尔经过多年的努力使得护理成了一个令人尊敬的职业。第四单元测评

Philae was sent from the European Space Agency’s main Rosetta spaceship early Wednesday,November 12,2014.Originally,the mission of the spaceship was to target Comet 46P but when the launch was delayed due to problems with the Ariane 5 launch vehicle,the mission was redirected to Comet 67P,to study the appearance and materials that make up Comet 67P.
The Philae research probe left its mother ship Rosetta and then began a trip toward the comet and landed on its surface hours later.The effort to land on the comet was considered dangerous because just before the planned landing,scientists identified problems in Philae’s active descent system thruster (推进器) used to land the probe.
Rosetta has been orbiting Comet 67P since August 2014.However,it was sent up into space in March of 2004.The spaceship circled the sun until it was in position to meet with the comet.
Comets are the most primitive (原始的) objects in the solar system.Scientists think that they have kept a record of the physical and chemical processes that occurred during the early period when planets were formed.By studying Comet 67P’s make-up and history,scientists wish to unlock the secret of the solar system and even the origin of human lives.
The Philae probe did a series of scientific experiments.Philae examined the materials that make up the comet looking for organic,or carbon-based materials,and inorganic materials.It lasted until March 2015,when the comet was too close to the sun and the surface temperature was too high for Philae to operate.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了一个名为Philae航天器历史性地着陆彗星。

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station,so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years,Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,and they think they’re close to a solution.“We don’t give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold,a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says.“There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades,other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ’ Basically,it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then,at the end of year,present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review,and...it’s not a very nice thing at time.It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills.“These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,readying a workable solution to test in space.

Step into Moving to Mars,an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at London’s Design Museum,and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.
Frightening glowing wall-texts announce that Mars wasn’t made for you;that there is no life and precious little water;that,dressed in a spacesuit,you will never touch,taste or smell the planet you now call “home”.As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago,“What’s different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die”.
It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition,but it provides a valuable,dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle (闪耀)—a show that is ,as its chief manager Justin remarks,“not about Mars,this is an exhibition about people”.
Moving along,there is a quick yet clear flash through what the science-fiction writer Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”.A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak to early ideas about the planet.A poster for the original Total Recall film reminds us of Mars’s psychological threat.
The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet.There are real spacesuits and models of 3D-printed Martian settlements and suitable clothing and furniture.Mission architectures and engineering sketches line the walls.Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall-mounted beside a low-gravity table that has yet to leave,and may indeed never leave,Earth.
This,of course,is the great strength of approaching science through design:reality and assumption can be given equal visual weight,drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.

阅读下面短文内容,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。
Over the next 50 years,we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. 36 There is a limit to what robots can tell us,though,so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet.
Before people can visit Mars,we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. 37 Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits around the sun,it could take between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer,and we were there more than 40 years ago.Over the next 10 years,we are going to work on building a new spacecraft. 38
Once we return to the moon,we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time.This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars. 39
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut,we will have people spending months on the moon.By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission,we will be taking trips to Mars.By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts,we may have people living on Mars.Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars 40
A.Mars is very far away.
B.People will go to live on Mars one day.
C.Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard
D.Using this craft,we will practice the skills we need to go to Mars.
E.Those robots will send back better pictures,maps,and weather reports.
F.It would be possible for us to go to Mars in a spacecraft in the near future.
G.However,it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.

Drums in Space
Brenda Bongos was a happy,artistic girl,a girl with one big ambition—to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people—many of them sick—in a care home.She knew that the sound of beating drums and crashing cymbals would really make them mad.
Brenda was a very good,respectful girl.She always tried to find a way of practicing her drums without bothering other people.So,she had tried playing in the strangest places;a basement,a kitchen,an attic,and even in a shower.But it was no good;there was always someone it would annoy.However,she determined to practice as much as she could.Brenda spent most of her time playing on books and boxes,and looking for new places to practice.
One day,while watching a science documentary on TV,she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there’s no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,a lot of books,and a lot of work,Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside.All that would be left inside was a drum kit and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and...
She played those drums like a wild child!
It wasn’t long before Brenda Bongos—“The Musical Astronaut”—had become very famous.So many people came to see her play in her space bubble that she had to mount a pair of speakers so that everyone could listen to her play.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government proposed that she form part of a unique space journey.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut.
Years later,someone asked her how she had achieved all of this.
参考范文
Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut.She had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Not only had she carried out scientific experiments but she tested to plant vegetables for astronauts in the space bubble,which laid a solid foundation for humans to do a distant space journey to Mars.And she won great fame because of that.She succeeded in bearing a scientist from a drum lover.
Years later,someone asked her how she had achieved all of this.Thinking for a moment,she said,“If those old people next door hadn’t mattered so much to me,I wouldn’t have done so much to find a solution to the drum noise,and none of this would have ever happened.”Being considerate to others may bring you unexpected benefits.UNIT 4SPACE EXPLORATION

GALAXIES AND TIIE UNTVERSE
Galaxies are huge groups of stars,planets,gas and dust.Our sun in the milky way galaxy,which measures about 100,000 light-years across.That long thin milky bright shape across the middle of the night sky is made up of about several billion stars in our galaxy.Our galaxy is spiral(旋转的)galaxy,but there are other types.
The Milky Way is the only one galaxy among a few hundred million galaxies in our universe(each with hundreds of billions of stars).
SPIRAL GALAXY:Galaxies that have spiral arms that emerge from the center.Our solar system in located on one of the arms of the Milky Way galaxy.Our galaxy has a huge black hole at its center that billions of stars resolve around.
ELLIPTICAL GALAXY:shaped like a huge egg.The stars in these galaxies tend to be very old.Furthermore,the old stars in ellipticals tend to be yellow and reddish,which according to our understanding of stellar evolution,means they are smaller,dimmer stars.
IRREGULAR GALAXY:There are many other shapes of galaxies that aren’t spiral or elliptical.They are fit into the irregular category like the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.They have rather unusual-looking shapes.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了星系的分类。
1.What is true about the Milky Way
A.There are only stars inside it.
B.There is a black hole at its center.
C.It’s the biggest spiral galaxy in the universe.
D.It takes 100,000 years to get there from Earth.

Zhurong,which means God of Fire,was carried to Mars on the Tianwen-1 orbiter,which arrived above the planet in February.The vehicle used a combination of a protective capsule,a parachute and a rocket platform to make the descent landing.A heat shield (保护盾) protected be spacecraft during the fiery descent (降落),after which Zhurong safely parachuted down to the Utopia Planitia.Tianwen-1’s landing platform then fired some small,downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds of its descent.The successful touchdown is a remarkable achievement,given the difficult nature of the task.Only few countries have really mastered landing on Mars until now.America put down its largest rover (巡视器),Perseverance,in February Europe,which has twice failed with landing attempts,will send a rover to Mars next year hand in hand with the Russians.All other countries that have tried have either crushed or lost contact soon after reaching the surface.
Now that Zhurong has got down successfully,scientists will try to get at least 90 Martian days of service out of it,studying the local geology.The robot Zhurong,weighs some 240 kg and is powered by fold-out solar panels.Zhurong carries cameras to take pictures and assist navigation (巡航);five additional instruments will investigate the mineral resources of local rocks and the general nature of the environment,including the weather.
Dean Chang,a Chinese scientist said that the success would be an enormous fillip to the exploration of the universe,“Space always benefits diplomacy and technology,and it demonstrates that China can contribute to the global pool of human knowledge.”

In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children’s money-management skills.Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐);household shopping was done online;the children rarely saw their parents handling cash.They were spending online,too.Money had become intangible.How,then,were children to learn its value
The answer they came up with was GoHenry,an app now available in America as well as Britain.It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities.Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of ￡2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over.Adults and children download separate versions.Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores.When those are marked as done,the child is paid the agreed amount.Parents can see what the child has bought and where.And they can choose where the card can be used:in shops,online or at ATMs.
Children get cards printed with their name.They can put money in savings pots,view their spending and balances,and set savings targets.“They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend’s birthday in four weeks’ time,or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18,”says Dean Brauer,one of GoHenry’s founders.“The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal.”
A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money.According to the latest research,more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children.And yet most agree that children’s attitudes to money are formed in their early years.
Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money.Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child’s future.Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up;others say that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending.Even though young people no longer touch and hold money,they can still be taught to handle it well.

Time Doesn’t Definitely Mean Money
As a popular saying goes,“Time is money.”But does time definitely mean money In fact this is not the case.
First of all,time is more precious than money.When money is spent,we can earn it back if we want to.However,when time is gone,it will never come back.To some degree,time is priceless.Second,not all time can be turned into money in the end.Some people are idling all the time.Their time is just for waste,not for earning money.They will end in nothing.
Therefore,we should save every second we own and make full use of our time to study hard.The harder we work now,the more we will get in the future!Let’s save time together!

(2020·湖南株洲二中高一期中)
My friend Mike is very poor.But I think he is the luckiest boy I’ve ever known.He is one of a large,happy family.
One hot day,we were going to the ball field for a big game.“How hot it is today!”I said.“It is too far to walk to the ball field on a day like this.We’d better take a bus.”
“Yes,it is hot,”said Mike.“So let’s go by bus.I think it is all right for me to take a dime for the bus (一角硬币).”
I followed him into his house.He put his hand into a small bag hanging on the door.Then he brought out some money.After taking one dime,he put the rest of the money back.
“Who owns the money ”I asked.“Is it all right for you to take money from the bag ”
“Yes,” he smiled.“This money belongs to every one of us in the family.When we children earn money,we put it into the bag.Father puts in the most.Then when we need money,we can take it from the bag.The money bag is Mother’s idea.She thinks it will teach us to spend money carefully and to know its real value.”
“Doesn’t anyone know how much you take ”I asked.
“Oh,no,”said Mike.“Mother says we must trust each other.”
“But couldn’t you take out more than you need for the bus ”I asked.
“I could,”answered Mike.“But then there might not be enough money for Jane and Fred.Someone in our family is always needing something.If I take more than I need,there won’t be enough to go around.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
“And how do you children earn money ”I asked.
As we were waiting for the bus,I kept thinking how lucky Mike was.
参考范文
“And how do you children earn money ”I asked.“We have many ways to earn money,”he said.“We get up early to sell newspapers in the streets on weekends,or work in the stores in the neighborhood after school.Sometimes we get paid by looking after the neighbors’ children when the parents have to be away from home.Besides,we have a small garden where we grow vegetables all the year around,and we can get money by selling some of them.”
As we were waiting for the bus,I kept thinking how lucky Mike was.He had a happy family in which the family members got on so well,trusting each other,and caring for each other.Moreover,he had a great mother.Her idea of the money bag not only taught the children the real value of money,but also the true meaning of it.Most importantly,it taught them how to be a person of good character.That day,I also learned a lot from the money bag.Section B Reading and Thinking

(2021·广西桂林十八中高一月考)
Our skies are filling up with satellites (卫星).Starting in May 2019,the firm SpaceX has deployed (部署) around 700 Starlink satellites into Earth orbit (轨道) over 11 launches.SpaceX plans to deploy 12,000,and perhaps later 42,000,satellites with the aim of providing access to the entire world.
These satellites have the promise to change the way that the night sky looks.For comparison,there are 2,600 satellites currently orbiting Earth.These days,spotting (发现) a few satellites in the sky is still an exciting activity.
There are many online tools available to predict when you might get a glimpse (一瞥) of a Starlink satellite.One,called Find Starlink ,takes your location (位置) and tells you what time and where in the sky to look.Even with the help of a tool it can still be a game of chance,but if you try a few times,you will eventually see something.
To get the best chance of seeing a Starlink satellite,pick a clear night.Try to get away from light pollution by going to a park or an open field,for example.Let your vision (视力) adjust to the darkness,then keep an eye out for moving sources of light in the sky.Satellites are only visible (可见的) when they reflect sunlight back to Earth.Because of this,the best time to look is just after sunset or just before sunrise,when sunlight is still reflecting off the satellites but it is dark enough to see them.
If you can’t tell whether you are looking at is a satellite or something else,there are a few simple rules to tell the difference.If a point of light is steady and not moving compared with everything else,it is a star.If it is a bright light moving slowly compared with the stars,it is a planet.If it is a bright flash moving extremely quickly across the sky in seconds,it is a meteor (流星).
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了卫星的重要性以及如何分辨卫星。
1.Why does the firm SpaceX plan to send more satellites into space
A.To change the view of the night sky.
B.To offer more exact location data to the army.
C.To provide information for scientific research.
D.To make Internet available to the whole world.
答案D
解析推理判断题。通过文章第一段“SpaceX plans to deploy 12,000,and perhaps later 42,000,satellites with the aim of providing access to the entire world.”可推知,SpaceX公司计划向太空发射更多的卫星的目的是使全世界都能使用因特网。故选D项。
2.To see a Starlink satellite better,what should we avoid
A.Choosing a clear night.
B.Staying away from light pollution.
C.Looking at moving light after sunrise.
D.Making your eyes used to the dark sky.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Let your vision adjust to the darkness,then keep an eye out for moving sources of light in the sky.”可知,观测时应该让眼睛适应黑暗,所以我们应该避免看日出后移动的光线。故选C项。
3.What is it if a light point is steady and not moving compared with a building
A.A star. B.A planet.
C.A meteor. D.A plane.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If a point of light is steady and not moving compared with everything else,it is a star.”可知,与建筑物相比,如果一个光点是稳定的,而不是移动的,则是恒星。故选A项。
4.Which of the following is True according to the passage
A.SpaceX has launched 11 Starlink satellites onto Mars.
B.Satellites are only visible when they take in sunlight.
C.The best time to look at satellites is before sunrise as well as after sunset.
D.There are many ways available for people to spot a Starlink satellite online.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Because of this,the best time to look is just after sunset or just before sunrise,when sunlight is still reflecting off the satellites but it is dark enough to see them.”可知,观察卫星的最佳时间是日出前和日落后。故选C项。
Ⅴ.七选五
It sounds like something from science fiction — a space journey into the vast expanse of space,heading towards Mars.While we’re not quite ready to put a person on the land,the question we ask today is: 1 The space race saw the USA and USSR compete to achieve firsts in spaceflight.The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1,an artificial satellite,before anyone else. 2 Now it appears that Mars is the heaven body of desire.While the reputation and bragging (吹嘘) rights to be the first nation to touchdown is an obvious draw,there are other reasons we want to get there.
3 You only have to look at the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another habitable planet.While Mars doesn’t have the right conditions to call it home just yet,there’s always the concept of terraforming (地球化) — changing the environment of a planet to suit our needs.
However,not everyone agrees. 4 He has said the concept of changing habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth makes no sense when we can simply terraform Earth.
It seems the main reason is the search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) life. 5 Now seemingly dead,the potential fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet.One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn’t start here,but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.
A.And the US landed on the Moon first.
B.Leading astrophysicist Neil Tyson is one of them.
C.One of these could be the survival of our species.
D.why are so many countries interested in going to Mars
E.It has been believed that,at one time,Mars was abundant with life.
F.Surely inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.
G.may landing on Mars inspire more people to become interested in science

2.which 考查非限制性定语从句的关系词。分析句子成分可知,本句中the greatest network of trade routes后面被一个定语从句修饰,从句中介词along提前,先行词指的是前面的丝绸之路,在定语从句中作介词along的宾语。故填which。
3.as 考查固定短语。短语as well as“也,和……一样”,是固定搭配。故填as。
4.began 考查时态。根据“With time going by”可知是过去衰落了,故用一般过去时,动词要用过去式。故填began。
5.finally 考查副词。分析句子成分可知,此处需要修饰动词disappeared,表示“最终消失了”,因此用副词在句子中作状语。故填finally。
6.however 考查副词。根据前后句之间是转折关系,且有逗号,应用副词however“然而”。故填however。
7.filled 考查过去分词。根据lost cities和fill之间是被动关系,表示被动,可知要用过去分词作后置定语。故填filled。
8.are shown 考查时态和语态。根据时间today,可知要用一般现在时或现在进行时,而这些无价之宝被展览,表被动,也就是说主语huge wall paintings,sculptures and priceless antiques和谓语动词show是被动关系,且主语是复数,因此be动词要用are。故填are shown。
9.shared 考查过去分词。根据句意可知,benefits和share是被动关系,此处要用过去分词作定语,译为“被分享的”,因此用shared。故填shared。
10.a 考查冠词。短语a number of“大量的”,是固定搭配,修饰名词复数。故填a。Section C Discovering Useful Structures &

Cities can even be seen clearly from the International Space Station (ISS,国际空间站),which circles about 400 kilometres above the planet.“You can see the 5 pyramids from space with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜).They are a little difficult to 6 with just your eyes,”said Ed Lu,a US astronaut 7 the ISS.
“With binoculars you can also see roads,harbours and even very large 8 in the ocean.From the moon,astronauts cannot 9 any man-made features on earth and the continents are very hard to see.On Mars,the earth would appear to the naked eye as 10 but a bright ‘star’.” 11 what about the Great Wall “You can see the Great Wall from space,”Lu said.“But it’s a lot 12 than a lot of other objects.You can only see it in radar images,not in ordinary photographs.”
No one knows who 13 the Great Wall story.The earliest reference to it comes in a book by a US writer Richard Halliburton,published in 1938.He wrote,“Astronomers say that the Great Wall is the only man-made thing on our planet visible to the human eye from the moon.”

(2020·辽宁葫芦岛高一下期末)
American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment,ethnic diversity and plural religion,which are quite different from other nations in the world.What is more,these elements are still influencing the American culture.
The early immigrants who were English settled in the northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892.Frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise,opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism,self-reliance,and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America.
In history,people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on,different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture was formed,a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the centre of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism(多元化);almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.
Nowadays,we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要叙述的是美国文化独特的原因,介绍了影响美国文化的三个主要因素并分别介绍了这三个因素影响美国文化的具体原因。
1.We can learn from this article that .
A.the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups
B.the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture
C.people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture
D.the American family members don’t get along well with each other
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句“In history,people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.”可知,历史上来自不同国家的人曾三次涌进美国,这给美国的文化带来了种族方面的多元化。故A项正确。
2.What’s the author’s attitude towards American culture
A.He is critical of it.
B.He admires it very much.
C.He just states the facts.
D.He looks down upon it.
答案C
解析推理判断题。作者在文章中客观叙述了影响美国文化的三个主要因素:the hard environment,ethnic diversity 和 plural religion。并没有发表个人观点,所以C项叙述正确。
3.The last paragraph is about .
A.the family structure in American society
B.the influence of the three elements in the current American society
C.the new lifestyle of American family
D.the reason why American people like to change residences
答案B
解析主旨大意题。根据本段中心句即第一句“Nowadays,we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.”可知,本段主要叙述的是这三个因素在当今美国社会中的影响。故B项正确。
4.What might be the most suitable title of this article
A.The Immigrants in America
B.Why American Culture Is Unique
C.The Influence of American Culture
D.Plural Religion and American Culture
答案B
解析主旨大意题。根据文章中心句第一句“American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.”可知,本文主要叙述的是美国文化独特的原因,介绍了影响美国文化的三个主要因素并分别介绍了这三个因素影响美国文化的具体原因。故B项正确。
Ⅴ.七选五
(2021·重庆育才中学高一月考)
What is culture
Culture is too complex to define in simple terms. 1 One is that culture is a total pattern of behaviour that is consistent in its components.Another fundamental is that culture is learned behaviour.The third is that culture is behaviour that is shared by a group of people.
To understand the culture of a particular country or region,one could examine its components,among which are material culture,language,and social organisation.Material culture includes the tools and symbols in a society,not including those physical things found in nature,unless they have undergone some change or have been given meaning by people. 2 The way we consume and what we consume are heavily influenced by material culture.
3 Linked with all other aspects of culture,it reflects the nature and values of that culture.Industrialised societies have a rich vocabulary for commercial and industrial activities,while less industrialised societies may have richer vocabularies for matters important to their societies.The Eskimos in Alaska have many words to describe snow whereas English has only one general term.
Social organisation differs somewhat from society to society.The primary kind of community association is based on blood ties. 4 .It provides mutual protection,psychological support,and a kind of economic insurance or social security for its members.The term “brothers” in Zaire includes those whom we call cousins and uncles.
Cultural analysis serves a variety of purposes.Understanding the various dimensions and their inter- relatedness helps promote cross-cultural awareness. 5
A.Some scholars even suggest that it is useless to try.
B.Language is the most obvious difference between cultures.
C.However,there are certain agreed-on fundamentals that can be easily identified.
D.The values represented within a culture can also change with the passing of time.
E.For example,a mouse running on a street is not part of a culture,but the Mickey Mouse is.
F.In many developing countries,the extended family fulfills several social and economic roles.
G.It leads on to the promotion of goodwill,social and economic planning and harmony between social groupings or societies.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章从三个方面论述了什么是文化,如何理解文化,以及分析文化有何好处。
1.C 根据上一句:文化太复杂,不能用简单的术语来定义。而下面却又给文化下了定义,可知,文化虽复杂,不好简单定义,但在某些方面还是达成共识的。前后内容是相反的。分析选项可知C项中的“however”表示转折,符合题意,故选C项。
2.E 根据空格的上句“Material culture includes the tools and symbols in a society,not including those physical things found in nature,unless they have undergone some change or have been given meaning by people”可知,物质文化不包括自然界中发现的物质事物,除非它们经历了某种变化或被人们赋予了意义。分析选项可知E项中说的过街老鼠不是物质文化的一部分,但米老鼠就被赋予了意义,成为文化的一部分。由此可推断E项符合题意,故选E项。
3.B 本空格所在的第三段中出现的“vocabularies”“words”“English”等,都属于语言(Language)的范畴,可知本段主要讲述的是不同文化中所用的语言和词汇存在着差异,分析选项可知B项符合语境,故选B项。
4.F 根据空前的“第一种社区交往是以血缘关系为基础的。”可知,此处是指以血缘关系为基础的即是家庭(family)。结合下句“它为其成员提供相互保护、心理支持和一种经济保险或社会保障。”可知,大家庭在社会经济中的作用。结合空格前后的语境可知,本段主要介绍了大家庭发挥了若干社会和经济作用。分析选项可知F项符合题意,故选F项。
5.G 根据本段的首句“文化分析有多种用途”以及空前的“了解不同的维度及其相互关系有助于提高跨文化意识”可推断出空格主要叙述文化分析的作用。分析选项可知G项符合题意,故选G项。UNIT 2MORALS AND VIRTUES

Do you know the proverb “no pain,no gain” It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study.It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear.We are totally taken up with study,shutting ourselves away for a big exam.Is that necessarily true
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea,we just shut ourselves in a room with a book.It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult.Just as children learn from playing,we can learn from doing,or at least from study techniques that interest us,rather than make us switch off.Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying,leading to a situation where,instead of being able to concentrate on our work,we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study.This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision,or poor progress fueling further annoyance.
Thankfully,working in the company of other people really helps fight against that.We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事).It’s not necessary to avoid all company,just lazy company.They constantly try to keep others in conversation,while studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible.Of course,it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying.Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score of games rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment,a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises.They also act as a psychological barrier,so that people think twice before interrupting you.Besides,we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation.And connecting with other people makes us happy,so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.

(2021·北京高一开学考试)
Ray Tokuda,a 54-year-old Japanese American,is proud of the title his school has given him.He is a Shifu,a Chinese word literally meaning a master,mentor or senior practioner of martial arts.
Tokuda has reason to be proud.He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades.After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State,today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school.
Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda’s daily routine.He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life.“I’m still learning.It’s worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts,”he said.“Once I started,I just couldn’t stop.I think it’s also the magic of Chinese culture.”
Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10.He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out.“My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance,so he put his kid in,”he said.“I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting.”
But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking.
“One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming adversity,”Tokuda said.“As a little kid,my first lesson was like,oh,look,this is a thing that I can get through by diligence,perseverance(毅力) and dedication,and that was priceless for my life.”
Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu-related stories.“It is like in America,where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done,”he said.“I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can’t be found in books.They are sort of an oral history.”
Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture,including the dragon dance and lion dance,which he also learnt at the martial arts school.Because of this,he is now considered a cultural envoy (使者) in the eyes of the public.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述中国功夫让一位日裔美国人成为中国文化使者,帮助传播中国传统文化——武术。
1.Tokuda didn’t want to learn kung fu because he had thought it was .
A.practical B.magical
C.violent D.difficult
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting.”可知,那时,Tokuda以为功夫就是打斗,是暴力。故选C项。
2.From the passage,what can we learn about Tokuda
A.He learnt martial arts from his father.
B.He is the founder of the kung fu school.
C.He learnt from martial arts how to deal with difficulties.
D.He is the most experienced kung fu teacher of his state.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据文章第六段“‘One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming adversity,’Tokuda said.‘As a little kid,my first lesson was like,oh,look,this is a thing that I can get through by diligence,perseverance(毅力)and dedication,and that was priceless for my life.’”可知,Tokuda认为,武术教他的一件事就是克服逆境,从而可以推断出他从武术中学会了如何处理困难。故选C项。
3.Which of the following words can best describe Tokuda
A.Modest and friendly.
B.Devoted and persevering.
C.Talented and humorous.
D.Motivated and considerate.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Tokuda has reason to be proud.He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades.”可知,Tokuda从事中国武术近40年,可以推断他的坚持;文章第三段“Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda’s daily routine.He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life.”帮助学生提高技能已经成为Tokuda每天的例行公事,他希望在他的余生中练习和教授武术,可以推断他对自己事业的热爱与奉献。故选B项。

(2021·山东青岛高一期末)
Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street.Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture.Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular.Famous chefs,such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.
On Wednesday,the United Nations,cultural agency,UNESCO,added the city’s “hawker culture,”to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago.Now that it has been recognized,Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO.The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.
“These centers serve as ‘community dining rooms’,where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast,lunch and dinner,”UNESCO said.
In the 1970s,Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers.These areas were part of an effort to improve the island.Now,the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting.The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market.Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
But,now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old.Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices.They are less interested in working in small restaurants.

(2021·湖南株洲第二中学高一阶段性考试)
Seventy years ago I was quite a small little girl.My father was very ill then,and my mother took in sewing(缝纫) of any kind so we could live.She would sew far into the night with an old sewing machine.She never complained even when the food would be very scarce(稀少).
Things were very bad that winter.Then a letter came from where her sewing machine was bought,saying that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought up to date.I remember when she read the letter I became frightened,I could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a child’s mind.My mother did not appear to be worried.However,she seemed to be quite calm about the matter.She said God would not disappoint her.I couldn’t see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine.
The day when the men came for our machine arrived.There was a knock at the kitchen door.I was frightened as a child would be,for I was sure it was those men who would take away our sewing machine.Instead,a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.
He asked my mother if she was Mrs.Hill.When she said she was,he said,“I’m in trouble this morning and you have been recommended by the neighbors as an honest and wonderful woman.My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning,and since we have no relatives here,and I must open my dentist office,I have nowhere to leave my baby.Could you possibly take care of her for a few days ”He continued,“I will pay you in advance.”With this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.
Mother said,“Yes,yes,I will be glad to do so,”and took the baby from his arms.When the man left,my mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was shining on it.She said,“I knew God would never let them take away my machine.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者小时候家里很穷,仅靠母亲用一台旧缝纫机给别人做衣服养家。有一天,母亲买旧缝纫机的地方来收缝纫机钱,如果我们拿不出钱,缝纫机就会被拿走。正当我们走投无路时,一位男士请求母亲帮他照看孩子并预付了钱,我们才摆脱了危机。
24.The turning point in the story may refer to .
A.a letter to the family
B.the man’s coming for help
C.the man’s wife being rushed to the hospital
D.the man’s trouble
答案B
解析推理判断题。第二段讲述了母亲买旧缝纫机的地方来收缝纫机钱或拿走缝纫机,第三段提到那天作者听到敲门声非常害怕,怕家里用来谋生的缝纫机被拿走。“Instead,a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.”是故事的转折点,敲门的不是取走缝纫机的人,而是请求母亲照顾孩子并预付了钱的求助者,他的到来使作者家摆脱了危机。求助者的到来是故事的转折点,故选B项。
25.Why did the man turn to the writer’s mother for help
A.The people around him recommended the mother to him.
B.He was familiar with the mother.
C.The mother had sewn for him.
D.The mother was hired by the man.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段来者说的话“I’m in trouble this morning and you have been recommended(推荐)by the neighbors as an honest and wonderful woman.”可知,这个人遇到了麻烦,是邻居向他推荐了母亲,说母亲是诚实又出色的人。他是经邻居推荐来的,故选A项。
26.According to the text all the following are true to the man EXCEPT .
A.his wife stayed in hospital
B.he was a dentist
C.he had no relatives here to turn to for help
D.he came for our sewing machine
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段“My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning,and since we have no relatives here,and I must open my dentist office,I have nowhere to leave my baby.”可知,来者是一名牙医,必须要开牙医诊所。今天早上他的妻子被紧急送往医院,在这里又没有亲戚,所以没人帮忙照顾孩子。他不是来取“我们”的缝纫机的,D项错误。故选D项。
27.What does mother mean by saying “I knew God would never let them take away my machine”
A.God can’t live without the machine.
B.The sewing machine is my only support.
C.Never give up when in trouble.
D.Everybody should believe in God.
答案C
解析推理判断题。得知母亲买旧缝纫机的地方来收缝纫机钱或拿走缝纫机,母亲说上帝不会让她失望的。当求助者预付了钱,母亲激动地落泪。她说:“我知道上帝不会让他们拿走我的机器。”母亲两次的表现说明:在困难的时候不要失去希望,不能放弃。故选C项。
C
Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals,and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job.But it turns out that today’s students are not going to be satisfied with any job.According to the latest survey,making a difference through their work is essential (必要的) to young people’s happiness.
The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness.Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15-percent pay cut to work at an organisation that has a social or environmental influence,and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organisation whose values are the same as their own.
Besides this,the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates,echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.
One reason for the emphasis (强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges,which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems.Students are used to discussing important social issues (问题) with their friends and professors,and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities.Once students develop those habits,they won’t shut them off when graduation rolls around.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是通过工作产生积极的社会影响对年轻人的幸福至关重要。
28.What does the underlined word “echoing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Learning. B.Repeating.
C.Believing. D.Creating.

31.Which could be the best title for the passage
A.Female Students Are Concerned about Society
B.Young People’s Happiness Doesn’t Depend on Money
C.Graduates Become More Interested in Challenging Jobs
D.Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference
答案D
解析主旨大意题。文章通过第一段的调查结论得出:通过工作改变世界对年轻人的幸福是至关重要的。所以,文章主要阐述年轻人的幸福取决于在工作中改变世界(make a difference),结合文章第二段第二句“Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15-percent pay cut to work at an organisation that has a social or environmental influence,and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organisation whose values are the same as their own.”可以看出,减薪是make a difference的重要途径。综上所述,选项D:Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference和文章的主旨是一致的。故选D项。
D
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture.Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”,that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel.When one has lost everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system,knowing how to register(注册,登记) for university classes,or knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture,he or she feels like a fish out of water.Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture.When this happens,visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture.On the other side,more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.

阅读下面短文内容,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。
Different cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 36
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 37 When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 38 Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
39 Take the language system for example.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count well.But what’s more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference(干扰)from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 40 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle(障碍) to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.
B.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
C.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
D.At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
F.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
G.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了东西方文化的起源和发展,以及它们之间的差异。
36.C 根据上文“The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.”可知,东西方文化真的有很大不同,设空处需表示东西方文化差异大的原因,根据选项可知,C项说明了原因,符合语境。故选C项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二十四节气中的第三个节气——惊蛰。
56.falls 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:2019年的惊蛰开始于3月6日。本句中缺少谓语动词,结合主语Awakening of Insects可知,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式,由于本篇文章是用一般现在时进行的客观介绍,故此处也用一般现在时。
57.third 考查序数词。句意:作为农历年中的第三个节气……。根据句意及句中的定冠词the可知,这里表示“第三个节气”,故用序数词。
58.its 考查代词。name为名词,需要形容词性物主代词修饰。
59.by 考查介词。be awakened by表示“被……所惊醒”,为固定搭配形式。
60.activities 考查名词。句意:这是春耕的关键时间。activity为可数名词,由于前面没有冠词修饰,故这里只能用复数形式。
61.Driving 考查非谓语动词。根据后面的fishing,enjoying,结合分析句子结构可知,这里是or连接的三个动词-ing形式作主语。
62.is 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,本句的主语为Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects,动词-ing形式作主语,谓语动词需使用单数形式,结合本文的时态可知,应该用is。
63.warmer 考查比较级。根据后面的the air becomes drier可知,这里应该用比较级形式,另外根据句中的连词and亦可知答案。
64.which 考查定语从句。本句为非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,故用which引导,代表主句内容。
65.Therefore/Thus 考查逻辑关系。句意:梨是甜的、多汁的,而且凉爽,有润肺止咳的作用。因此,在惊蛰期间强烈建议(吃)梨。结合句意可知,上下句之间构成因果关系。so一般后面不加逗号。

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。
In 1878,when Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”,she was stating that there was no consistent(never changing)view on beauty.Standards of beauty change across time and cultural groups.
Traditions and fashions,like society itself,change and adapt with time.So it is reasonable that our ideas of beauty change as well.In 19th-century Europe,women used to wear corsets to achieve a body shape that is no longer considered healthy.Men would wear woolen shawls across their shoulders.It is hard to imagine that they would be seen as attractive in the 21st century.Nowadays,in the western world,one in every ten people has a tattoos or a form of body art.In the past,some cultures used tattoos as an addition to costumes,to show family associations or to mark criminals so that they could easily be recognized.
In contemporary society,culture remains a major part in determining our ideas of beauty.In some countries,young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day.In other cultures,looking thin for a husband-to-be is not what a woman desires at all—rather,looking a little overweight is considered more attractive.
With the influence of history,society and culture,there are no precise criteria which can be used to judge what is beautiful.Lifelong commitment and,indeed,the survival of society itself rely on people seeing beauty in difference and depth.The human race would soon die out if we could only see beauty within a set of limited criteria.
Physical beauty must also be accompanied by an attraction to something deeper within a person.This particular kind of attraction is found in a wide range of personal qualities,e.g.kindness,warmth,a healthy conscience,etc.Judging the appeal of a person’s inner beauty is much more subjective.It takes more than a casual glance to appreciate and it is much more important than physical beauty.
Beauty,therefore,has more than one dimension.We are influenced by our culture,our biology and our time in history to notice physical beauty quickly and easily,but it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see.Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.

Japanese officials say they are pleased with the quality of the asteroid (小行星) material collected by a spacecraft and returned to Earth.
Last week,officials from Japan described the samples (样品),which were collected from the Ryugu asteroid in July 2019.Ryugu sits more than 300 million kilometers from Earth.Japan’s unpiloted Hayabusa 2 spacecraft removed the material after making a hole into the asteroid.
The space agency said the July 2019 mission (任务) aimed to collect samples from below the surface of Ryugu.During an earlier operation in February 2019,Hayabusa 2 collected material from a different part of the asteroid.The second collection effort resulted in sample pieces as big as 1 centimeter.The black material looked similar to charcoal and was very hard.It did not break apart when picked up or poured into another container.
Earlier this month,space officials described the samples Hayabusa 2 removed on its first mission as smaller,sandy pieces.They were collected from the surface of Ryugu.Hayabusa 2 was launched in December 2014 and arrived near Ryugu in June 2018.The Japanese space mission aims to use the samples to learn more about how our solar system formed.
To get the second set of samples in July,Hayabusa 2 used an impactor to knock the asteroid’s surface.The aim was to collect material unaffected by space radiation or other environmental conditions.The size differences suggest different hardness of the bedrock of the asteroid.One possibility is that the place of the second touchdown was a hard bedrock and larger particles broke and entered the container.
Hayabusa 2 is now on another mission to a smaller asteroid,called 1998KY26.The Japanese government expects the aircraft to take 11 years to reach that asteroid.Hayabusa 2’s new mission aims to study possible ways to prevent large meteorites (陨石) from hitting Earth.

Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Pictures are a great way to create and keep a memory of many events that happen in our lives.Then how can a person look more beautiful in pictures There are some factors you should take into account,one of which is your posture(姿势).In other words,you need to keep your back straight and your head up.This will help you appear thinner.Be sure to raise your chin up because this will help keep you from looking like you have a double chin.Take note that you don’t leave your shoulders looking stiff but try to keep them relaxed,or else the picture won’t seem natural.To look thinner and taller at the same time,put one leg slightly behind the other when standing.You’ll need to put most of your weight on your back foot and keep your front knee slightly bent.
Forming a smile that is all your own can be easily done by just practising in the mirror.If you don’t like your smile on pictures,then you need to teach yourself a new one.Stand in front of the mirror and try different smiles until you find one that suits you.Once you’ve picked out your look,you need to keep standing in front of the mirror and keep practising until your smile becomes second nature to you and you’ll be able to perform it without looking in the mirror.
Professional photographers will place lights behind the area where you are to have your pictures done and they call this short lighting.By doing this,it’ll create a shadowing over you that will work as an optical illusion(错视) to make you look thinner.
If you are unsure of yourself when the picture is being taken,your lack of confidence will show through on the picture.So try to relax and just enjoy that occasion you’re having and have fun.If you’ve taken bad pictures in the past,you’re probably going to be anxious but try to calm down.After all it’s just a picture which can be taken over if it doesn’t come out right the first time.The more relaxed and confident you can be,the better picture you’ll show.
参考范文
In order to look more beautiful in pictures,one of the factors you should take into account when taking a picture is to keep good posture.(要点1) Your smile is also one of the most important parts of a picture.(要点2)You should always be aware of where the light source is and learn to use it to your advantage.(要点3) Confidence is one of those funny things that can be seen or not seen,even in a picture.(要点4)UNIT 5THE VALUE OF MONEY

Giving is one of the main ways of understanding the value of money—but it often gets ignored.When we pay close attention to what we want for Christmas or birthdays and spend lots of money on our loved ones,why not take the time to teach your sons or daughters a little bit about giving back Here are 4 activities which can help your children know what is the real meaning of “giving”.
Donating (捐赠) Online
Because your children have seen all the fun and games from the charity organization Children in Need fundraising,it’s the perfect time to show them how easy it is to donate money to charity online and how rewarding this can be.If they have a go Henry card,they can even do this themselves directly using their own money earned from playing the games that develop intelligence (智力).
Time:Saturday every week
Giving Things to Charity
Giving their extra things to charity can help kids see how much value their things have.Explaining the money from selling their things and helping others can make them feel how lucky they are.
Time:Sunday every week
Volunteering within the Community (社区)
Whether it’s clearing rubbish from a park or visiting the elderly,volunteering is certainly the most direct way for your children to understand what we mean when we say “giving”.This really helps understand the value of giving some of their time.
Time:Monday every summer vacation
Getting Them to Actively Raise Money for Something
Help them discover something they really care about and get their mind set on how they could raise some money for people in need.Making cakes and selling them at school,selling some of their own things or even washing the neighbors’ cars are great ways in which children can make a difference to something they care about.
Time:Tuesday every winter vacation

Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money
As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it’s not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values,experts put us in three categories.They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail.
The ant—works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter,these people don’t care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket—fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings.When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail—lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种拥有不同理财价值观的人的理财策略。蚂蚁族先牺牲后享受,注重退休后的生活品质。蟋蟀族是先享受后牺牲,作者提醒这部分人要注意在及时享乐的同时,不要忘了老有所养。蜗牛族以购买房屋作为最主要的理财目标。然而,如果在这一目标上耗用太多的资源,必将影响其他目标的实现以及生活水平的提高。
