二、阅读理解
If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as he or she does. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.
During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.
The reason is thought to be the so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. And this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.
In a test, participants were told to watch TV—where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to bite, while the TV person ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.
The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.
The researchers added, "Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume things as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start."
Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, "This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations (谈判) are more likely to be successful."
6.According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who _________.
A.has the same taste as them B.advertises his products on TV
C.reduces the price of his products D.pays attention to the quality of his products
7.The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that _________.
A.bosses like employees that have the same taste as them
B.food plays an important role in earning people's trust
C.people who have similar tastes to their bosses earn more
D.people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV
8.What can be inferred from Paragraph 6
A.People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.
B.People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.
C.The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn't been proved by researchers.
D.People are less likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.
9.Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory
A.Honesty is the best policy. B.All good things come to an end.
C.Birds of a feather flock together. D.Where there is a will, there is a way.
三、七选五
Reducing Test Anxiety
Test anxiety arises when a student excessively worries about doing badly in a test. This can become a major hindrance (造成妨碍的事物) to test performance and cause extreme nervousness and memory problems among other symptoms. ①________
Think positively. Scientific research has shown that our expectations can affect our performance. ②________However, if you expect that you'll do poorly, studying may not be enough to help you perform well. Therefore, it is a wise choice to think positively.
③________ Fear releases adrenaline (肾上腺素) , preparing the body to deal with danger. Your heart rate and breathing speed up and you may feel shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. Anything you can do to reduce these physical reactions will help you think more clearly and feel more confident.
Eat before the test. Don't skip breakfast to study. ④________ Choose protein-filled snacks and avoid sugar, which can give you quick energy that may run out in the middle of the test. Eat something even if you feel sick—try crackers or toast to settle your stomach. Avoid caffeine and energy drinks, which can increase anxiety.
Get a good night's sleep before the test. Studies have shown that you will do well in the test if you get enough sleep. ⑤________ If the test is later in the day or in the evening, or if you just couldn't get a full night's sleep, take a nap. Research has shown that a short nap—less than an hour—can improve alertness, memory, creativity, productivity, and moods, and can decrease stress.
A. Calm your body.
B. Build up yourself.
C. The following are tips on reducing test anxiety.
D. If you expect to do well in the test, you still need to study hard.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：was diagnosed
解析：考查动词的时态和语态。句意：更糟的是，Moth被诊断出患有一种严重的疾病。这种病没有治愈方法，只有缓解疼痛。分析句子结构可知，句子主语Moth与谓语diagnose之间为被动关系，且根据句意可知，这是发生在过去的事情，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。
2.答案：monthly
解析：考查词形转换。句意：现在很多人在支付房款月供上都有困难。根据句意，此处表示"每月的，每月一次的"，修饰名词短语house payments，故应用形容词形式monthly。
3.答案：consumption
解析：考查词形转换。句意：全球变暖的威胁将最终迫使美国减缓其能源消耗。空处作宾语，表示"消耗(量)"，应用名词consumption。
4.答案：Surprised
解析：考查形容词作状语。句意：我手中拿着100块钱纸币，不知所措，吃惊又高兴地站在那儿。分析句子结构并由句意可知，此处应用形容词作状语，表示伴随，其逻辑主语是句子的主语。形容词或形容词短语作状语时位置比较灵活，可位于句首或句末，有时也可位于句中。
5.答案：encouraged
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管被鼓励了，这组人依然发现在有限的时间里做这个实验是困难的。该句是Although引导的让步状语从句的省略句式。Although encouraged相当于Although it is encouraged，当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，或状语从句的主语是it且状语从句的谓语中含有be动词的某种形式时，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略，这样使得语言更加简洁明了。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：A
解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time"可知，A项正确。
7.答案：B
解析：考查细节理解。根据文章第三段最后一句中的"to examine food's role in earning trust"以及倒数第三段"The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too"可知B项正确。
8.答案：A
解析：考查推理判断。该段主要讲了吃的东西相同或相似的两个人更容易获得对方的信任，故选A。
9.答案：C
解析：考查推理判断。本文论述了在食物方面品味接近的人更容易产生信任，这与C项的"物以类聚"是一个道理，故选C。
三、七选五

二、阅读理解
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
6.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
7.What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It's more popular at the Olympics.
B. It's less challenging physically.
C. It's more effective in body building.
D. It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
8.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts' opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercise.
9.Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
三、七选五
Tips for Successful Gift Giving
Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lighten one's mood or improve a relationship. Whatever the occasion, gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration. ①_____
Don't add a small gift to a big gift. When we receive gifts in a bundle, we tend to unconsciously average out their value, so a small gift tacked (附加) onto a big one will hurt the latter's impact. ②_____
③_____ Taking a dream vacation or seeing your favourite artist in a concert will give you memories that last forever. Experiences often have more thought going into them, and they create more vivid memories. We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two-week holiday to Florida—the memories and the emotional attachment to experiences are greater than to physical objects.
Think like the receiver. ④_____ That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we'd like. People tend to use gifts as jokes and encouragements to change one's ways, or to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility or happiness for the receiver.
Remember there's a reason why we say that it's the thought that counts. ⑤_____ Most people don't want lots of money spent on them-they just want you to think about them, and that can be done in lots of easy ways.
A. Give things you like best.
B. So there are a set of rules to follow.
C. Give experiences rather than things.
D. Don't forget why you are giving gifts.
E. Buy things your receiver would buy for themselves.
F. When it comes to gift giving, remember that sometimes less is more.
G. When you give others gifts, never forget to choose the expensive things.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Last summer when my family was on the road to Montana, we arrived in Great Falls late one night. The kids had fallen asleep in the car, so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids. When he returned with the room keys, we woke up our children and took them out of the car, through the hotel, up the elevators and into our guest room. We kept the room dark, leaving only the entry light on, and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they'd drift off to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers. "That's strange", he said and I agreed, but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn't think much about it. I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it. In the meantime, my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I washed my face. I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash. I felt my heart begin to pound. We were in someone else's room!
Now panicked, I checked the closet. Nothing. I then went to the dresser drawers. Nothing. My eyes scanned the door room's floor and there it was: A black bag that looked like one of ours. But it wasn't!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an "Oh, my God! This is not good!"
By now the kids were wide-awake, jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase. Just while we were packing our things, I heard someone unlocking the door, which made my heart beat wildly.

7. 答案：D
解析：考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers"可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，如跑步者的膝盖 (受伤) ，在竞走者中并不常见。据此可知，竞走不太可能导致膝盖受伤，故D项正确。

②根据第二段的主旨句"不要把小礼物附加在大礼物上"及第二句的描述可知，小的礼物和大的礼物一起送出会影响大礼物的价值，意思是只送大的礼物就可以了，不要再附送小的礼物。F项中的sometimes less is more与此处相呼应。故选F项。
③第三段第二句举例说明梦想中的旅行或演唱会将给你长久的记忆，第三句解释体验带给人的回忆是生动的，第四句对比说明亲身的体验所附带的回忆和情感远远大于物品。由此可判断本段的主旨是建议送人体验而非物件。故选C项。
④根据第四段首句"Think like the receiver"可知，本段主题为"站在收礼物的人的角度考虑"，E项"买收礼物的人会给自己买的东西"符合语境，其中receiver为原词复现。
⑤第五段首句和最后一句强调送礼物重要的是心意，接收礼物的人只要知道自己被关怀就好，大多数人并不希望别人为自己花很多钱，故此处是提醒我们不要忘记为什么送礼物，故选D项。

Winning one professional tennis championship is difficult. Imagine winning 100 of them! Swiss tennis star Roger Federer just did that on March 2, 2019.
Federer collected his 100th trophy (奖杯) from the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) by winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. He beat Stefanos Tsitsipas, a young player from Greece. "Reaching 100 is absolutely a dream come true for me," he said at the presentation ceremony. "I'm so happy I am still playing. It's been a long, wonderful journey."
Federer's journey started in 2001. In the Milan Indoor final, Federer beat Frenchman Julien Boutter and won his first ATP title at age 20. After the match, the media described him as "one of the up-and-coming players on the men's tennis scene".
For most of his 23 years as a professional athlete, Federer has managed to keep a good image, both on and off the court. But sometimes he doubted himself and his physical abilities. He recently said that he had been suffering a hand injury since 2016." I hurt my hand in training. It's had more consequences than I thought," Federer told SonntagsZeitung, a German newspaper.
Federer is driven to continue by his perseverance and love of the game. "You need to be stubborn, and believe diligence is going to pay off," he told Tennis World USA. His determination has clearly paid off. He's now compared to legendary US player Jimmy Connors, who set the record of 109 titles. "What Jimmy did was an unbelievable achievement and I'm also proud of things I have done," Federer said.

The works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are "rocket boosters" to the brain and better therapy than self-help books, researchers will say this week.
Scientists, psychologists and English academics at the University of Liverpool have found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, catches readers" attention and causes moments of self-reflection.
Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T. S. Eliot and others.
They then " translated" the texts into more "straightforward", modem language and again monitored the readers" brains as they read the words.
Scans showed that the more "challenging" prose and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the more pedestrian versions.
Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it "lit up" as the readers encountered unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.
This "lighting up" of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark, shifting the brain to a higher gear, and encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry, in particular, increases activity in the right hemisphere (半球) of the brain, an area concerned with "autobiographical memory" , helping the readers to reflect on and reappraise (重新评估) their own experiences in light of what they have read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study with the university"s magnetic resonance centre, will tell a conference this week: Serious literature acts like a rocket booster to the brain.
The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike.
6.How do classics such as the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers
A.They set off far less electrical activity in the brain.
B.They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark.
C.They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly.
D.They draw readers' attention and help make self-examination.
7.How did the scientists and experts carry out the experiment
A.By scanning the readers" brain activity. B.By reading works of different writers.
C.By lighting up the activity of the brains. D.By investigating the habits of the readers.
8.What can we conclude according to the research
A.Self-help books are more valuable than classics.
B.Serious literature lights up the mind shorter than ordinary versions.
C.The right hemisphere of the brain is related to autobiographical memory.
D.literature has a beneficial effect only on the mind of the young.
9.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Ordinary Versions Create New Thoughts
B.Modern Language Increases the Brain Activity
C.Classics Help Improve the Brain Activity
D.Self-help Books, Rocket Boosters

For those who can stomach it , working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men's fitness and resting (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.
Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食期). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.
6. The underlined expression "stomach it"in Paragraph 1 most probably means "
A. digest the meal easily.
B. manage without breakfast.
C. decide wisely what to eat.
D. eat whatever is offered.
7. Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment
A. Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B. Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C. They could walk at an average speed.
D. They had slow metabolic rates.
8. What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise
A. They successfully lost weight.
B. They consumed a bit more calories.
C. They burned more fat on average.
D. They displayed higher insulin levels.
9. What could be learned from the research
A. workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B. Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.
C. Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D. Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.
三、七选五
Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract words. The first reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional slate. ①_____
Numerous studies show us that there's no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. ②_____ For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also, it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable.
③_____ Firstly, it depends on what the task is. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy and often require more external stimulation (刺激) and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.
Actually, it's not the genre (类型) of music, but the natural musical characteristics that aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo (拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range of 70 to 110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat when we are at rest. ④_____ And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.
In addition, lyrics (歌词) are the most distracting aspect of listening to background music. ⑤_____ More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background music is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.
A. Music is part of every culture in the world.
B. In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.
C. Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.
D. They compete with the same brain regions that process language.
E. Fast music raises the heartbeat, making one unable to focus on studying.
F. There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying.
G. Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.

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。
Ten-year-old Sam loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sam would break them open and drink the coconut juice. Sam liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sam was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sam was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground began shaking as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (附着) to his grandpa. Grandpa cried out, "It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that it would be safer there.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, "The sea is rising! The sea is rising!" The villagers started running away from the beach. Sam was dumbstruck (呆若木鸡).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sam thought, "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sam remembered his mother telling him long ago, "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." So he ran out to be with Grandpa.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Grandpa held Sam's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：to improve
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：你最好放弃消极的想法，因为它们会迅速滋长，对提高你的生活质量毫无帮助。代词nothing后跟动词不定式作后置定语，故填to improve。
2.答案：would fail
解析：考查虚拟语气。句意：如果没有因特网，我就不能获取我做这个项目所需的所有信息。根据句意可知，此处表示对现在情况的虚拟，因此句子谓语用"would+动词原形"。
3.答案：has decreased
解析：考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：近30年来，这个国家参加健身活动的人数大幅度减少。由During the last three decades可知，时态应用现在完成时。"the number of +n."作主语，谓语动词要用单数。故填has decreased。
4.答案：tired
解析：考查状语从句的省略。句意：每天晚上晚饭后，如果工作不累，我都会花时间带着我的狗去慢跑。分析句子结构可知，if not _________(tire) from work为省略后的条件状语从句，补充完整后是：if I am not tired from work，其中be tired from 意为"因……而疲倦"。故填tired。
5.答案：dissolved
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：地下水也含有溶解了的二氧化碳，这些二氧化碳是从空气和从植物根系的气体交换中获得的。分析句子结构可知，动词dissolve和所修饰的名词carbon dioxide之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应使用过去分词作前置定语。
二、阅读理解
6.答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。本题题干意为：第一段中画线短语"stomach it"的意思最可能是______。由第一段第一句"对于那些能忍受不吃早饭的人而言，早饭前锻炼可能要比吃了早饭锻炼对健康更有好处"可知，B项"没吃早饭"正确。A：更容易消化食物；C：明智地决定吃什么；D：有什么吃什么。
7.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。本题题干意为：为什么这十个人被选去做实验 根据第三段的whose lifestyles are, ...representative of those of most of us可知，无论好坏，这十个人的生活方式代表着我们大多数人的生活方式。故A项"他们的生活方式在普通人中很典型"是正确的。B：他们缺乏锻炼导致超重；C：他们能以平均速度走路；D：他们新陈代谢速率低。
8.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。本题题干意为：锻炼前吃了早饭的那些人会发生什么 根据第六段中的On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories...可知，吃了早饭锻炼的人燃烧了稍微多一点的卡路里。故答案为B项"他们消耗了更多一点的卡路里"。A：他们成功地减重了；C：他们平均燃烧了更多的脂肪；D：他们显露出更高的胰岛素水平。
9.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。本题题干意为：从这项研究中可以获知什么 从文中最后一段中的to gain the greatest health benefits... it may be wise to skip eating first可知，为了从锻炼中获得最大的健康好处，不进食锻炼是明智的。故选D项"早饭前 (进行) 体育锻炼对身体健康会更好"。A：早饭后锻炼提升基因表现；B：过多的锻炼会减缓新陈代谢速率；C：生活方式不如晨练重要。

He clung to the tree tightly while the water was all around. In the hope of seeing Sam, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sam round and round.
"Sam! Sam!" cried Grandpa. "Don't be scared, little e to me, quickly!". "But Grandpa, I can't swim!" Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sam cried in despair. Suddenly, Sam felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, Grandpa was on another tree! Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sam came down from the trees and rushed to hug each other, and then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.Unit 2 Lessons in life—高二英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第四册速练100题

Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer is now married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. "Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers," she says. However her children have learned an important lesson by witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.
6.What did Jennifer do after high school
A.She helped her dad with his work. B.She ran the family farm on her own.
C.She supported herself through college. D.She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
7.Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield
A.To take care of her kids easily. B.To learn from the best nurses.
C.To save money for her parents. D.To find a well-paid job there.
8.What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal
A.Her health. B.Her time with family.
C.Her reputation. D.Her chance of promotion.
9.What can we learn from Jennifer's story
A.Time is money. B.Love breaks down barriers.
C.Hard work pays off. D.Education is the key to success.

解析：句意为：律师建议把提到的相关人员关进监狱。此处为suggest后的宾语从句中的谓语动词，与主语the person是被动关系，suggest在此意为"建议"，其后的宾语从句应用虚拟语气，即从句谓语应用"should +动词原形"，should可以省略。故填be put。
3.答案：recommended
解析：句意为：主人和我们分享了很多他们的经历，并且推荐了吃饭、购物以及参观的好去处。此处和shared并列，应用一般过去时。故填recommended。
4.答案：anticipated
解析：句意为：另一部备受期待的电影《中国机长》以1.94亿票房在票房排行榜上占据第二位。句中已有谓语动词earned，设空处应用非谓语动词形式，动词anticipate和film之间是逻辑上的被动关系，因此用过去分词形式作定语修饰film。故填anticipated。
5.答案：be distracted
解析：句意为：当别人看电视时，要让你的孩子离得足够远，以确保他/她不会因为电视而分心。be distracted by...意为"被……分散注意力"。情态动词can后面用动词原形，且he与distract为被动关系。故填be distracted。
二、阅读理解

三、七选五
答案：①-⑤ GDAEC
解析：① 根据空前一句"For some, library a shelter from the stresses of day-to-day life"可知，空处应该接着讲图书馆对于其他人的作用。G项中的For others为关键词语，与上文中的"For some"照应。
②根据空后一句中的关键词语"You can also"可知，本空应讲述你在图书馆可以做的事情。故选D。
③空处为本段主题句。根据本段内容尤其是"and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time"可知，本段主要在讲述图书馆帮助人们学习。故选A。
④根据本段主题句"Libraries develop with times"可知，图书馆是与时俱进的，空后讲到当代图书馆拥有各种先进快捷的借书和还书方式，故空处也应涉及现代图书馆的优点。故选E。
⑤根据空前的"Libraries are one of very few spaces…and actually be and feel like a community"可知，本段的关键词语是community，C项讲的"它们创造了一种很好的社区意识"与此相符。故选C。
四、书面表达
答案：
Dear John,
Learning that you are deeply interested in Chinese culture, I'm writing to recommend the book A Dream of Red Mansions to you, which is a literary masterpiece written by Cao Xueqin.
The book describes a tragedy of love and the decline of a big family which exposes the social crisis. It is written in classical Chinese, which is difficult to understand. So when you read it, you'd better get a classical Chinese dictionary ready for reference. In addition, I suggest that you should know some background knowledge about the Qing Dynasty.
I hope you can find pleasure in reading the book and benefit from it.
Yours,
Li Hua
