(2019·济南针对性训练)The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples, Italy, but the word pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted. The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeast?based flatbread, and so the pizza began.
While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact, a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza, Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1890, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag：red(tomato), green(basil), and white(mozzarella)．Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.
Later, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world：
■The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples.
■In North America, the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.
■The first Pizza Hut, the chain of pizza restaurants, appeared in the United States in 1958.
■Nowadays, many varieties of pizza exist worldwide, along with several dish variants based upon pizza.

(2019·泰安检测)It would have been a success story if Fullerton High School senior Fernando Rojas, the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade, was accepted to college. But the 17?year?old achieved a surprising clean sweep—he was accepted to every Ivy League(常春藤)school.
“I didn’t think I would get into any，” Rojas told The Orange County Register on Saturday. “When I got all eight，it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose. I was excited and scared and everything at the same time.”
The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks calls, emails and letters followed from the other seven universities. Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Fullerton.
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas, 59, and wife, Maria, 56, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s.
A national speech and debate champion, Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas’ speech and debate coach at Fullerton, told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self?starter who thrives(茁壮成长) on competition. “His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something，” Tinajero said.
After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64，000 a year with room and board. He is responsible for $6，000; Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.
He’ll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August. He’s considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了17岁的男孩Fernando Rojas成功地被几所世界知名大学所录取，最后他选择进入了耶鲁大学的事。

A．His schooling stopped in the eighth grade.
B．He often did some cleaning in the school.
C．People were confident that he would be successful.
D．His admission to famous universities was completely unexpected.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句But the 17?year?old achieved a surprising clean sweep—he was accepted to every Ivy League(常春藤) school.可知，Rojas能被几所知名的大学所录取是出乎意料的。故D项符合题意。
9．How many universities accepted Rojas altogether?
A．11. B．10.
C．9. D．8.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，在二月份Rojas接到了耶鲁大学的电话；在接下来的几个星期之内，他接到了其他七所大学的电话、邮件和信件；他还被斯坦福大学及其附近的两所大学录取。由此可知，他一共收到了十一所大学(1＋7＋1＋2)的录取通知。故A项符合题意。
10．How do we understand what Tinajero said?
A．Rojas is good at speech and debate competition.
B．The hard work of his parents inspired Rojas greatly.
C．Rojas’ parents knew Rojas loved them deeply.
D．Rojas’ motivation was misunderstood by his parents.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something...可知，Rojas成功的动力来源于他的父母；由此可推知，Rojas父母的努力工作大大地激励了他。故B项符合题意。
11．Why did Rojas choose Yale at last?
A．Yale is famous for Latin American studies.
B．He wants to be a lawyer as his career.
C．He cares more about the expense.
D．Yale is responsible for all his cost.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，Rojas选择耶鲁大学是因为一年64 000美元的大学费用他自己只需承担6 000美元，其余的由耶鲁大学的奖学金和联邦政府的教育经费承担。故可知Rojas是因为学费问题选择进入耶鲁。故C项符合题意。

(2019·合肥高三质检)Many years ago, when we were a young couple with two small children, aged 2 and 4, we were practically impecunious．My in?laws lived from hand to mouth, so we didn’t expect any help from them. My parents lived a great distance away, and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.
My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pick?up truck, carrying groceries for local shopkeepers, but it was constantly breaking down. It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed. The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.
We lived in the countryside, and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it. One winter evening, I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something. It was nearly dark, and I had to bend down to see what it was. I could hardly believe my eyes. There sat a large basket loaded with food.
It was heavy, so I called my husband to carry it into the house. Once inside, we discovered two loaves of bread, some butter, several cans of vegetables, a can of orange sauce, and a large turkey. There was so much that I couldn’t remember it all, but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.
A little while later I remembered that I hadn’t taken the trash to the barrel. By now it was dark, so I had to turn on the yard light—and that’s when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.
That dinner was the best I could remember.
We weren’t able to thank our donators, though, because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family. Whoever it was, we are forever grateful.

1．on 解析：考查介词。重阳节是在农历九月初九这一天。在特定的某一天用介词on。
2．is regarded 解析：考查动词时态和语态。在中国，九被视为阳数。主语nine和动词regard之间是被动关系，表示“被视为”，故用被动语态；此处是对客观情况的描述，应用一般现在时。
3．how 解析：考查表语从句的连接词。九月的第九天含有两个阳数，“重”在汉语中表示“双倍”的意思，这就是重阳节名称的由来。根据语境可以判断，空处表示“重阳节名称的由来”，故用how引导该表语从句。
4．formally 解析：考查副词。根据空处后的动词set可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。
5．declared 解析：考查动词的时态。根据该句中的时间状语“In 1989”可知，该句陈述的是发生在1989年的事情，故用一般过去时。
6．the 解析：考查定冠词。the＋形容词，表示一类人。the elderly表示“老年人”。
7．themselves 解析：考查反身代词。1989年，中国政府宣布农历九月初九为“敬老节”，以此来尊敬老人，并让他们过得愉快。enjoy oneself意为“得到乐趣”。
8．being promoted 解析：考查非谓语动词。根据空处前的介词of可知，空处用动词的?ing形式；根据语境可知，主语people和动词promote之间是被动关系，表示“被提升”，故用being promoted。
9．disasters 解析：考查名词复数。人们常常认为菊花酒能消除各种疾病和灾难。根据该句中“diseases and”可知，空处用复数形式。
10．to show 解析：考查动词不定式。如今，人们举办许多活动如组织老人旅游、给老人送礼物以表达对老人的尊敬。根据句意可知，空处表示目的，故用动词不定式。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。就什么是最佳美食，研究人员对世界上一百名著名的厨师做了调查，得到了许多非常有趣的答案。
61．with 解析：考查固定搭配。根据语境可知，最佳的美食不仅仅与食物的质量有关，还可能与假期的美好回忆或共同进餐的人有关。share with为固定搭配，意为“与……分享”。
62．what 解析：考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，作及物动词asked的宾语；该引导词也作从句的表语，故用what 引导该宾语从句。
63．interesting 解析：考查形容词。根据空后的名词 “answers”可知，空处修饰该名词，故用形容词形式。
64．surveyed 解析：考查过去分词。chefs和动词survey 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示 “被调查的厨师”，故用过去分词作后置定语。
65．considered 解析：考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“said”可知，该处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。被调查的厨师中有百分之二十认为在豪华的饭店就餐时吃的饭菜是他们人生中的最佳美食。
66．or 解析：考查连词。根据空前的“wife”和空后的“husband”可知，和妻子或者丈夫度假时吃的饭菜是他们人生中的最佳美食，空处表示选择关系。
67．higher 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据空后的“than”可知，该处用形容词的比较级形式，表示家常便饭比其他任何饭菜更好，故用比较级higher。
68．Surprisingly 解析：考查副词。空处修饰整个句子，故用副词形式，表示令人惊讶的是，这些厨师中有百分之十的人认为他们一生中最喜欢的美食在是快餐店吃的饭菜。
69．cooks 解析：考查名词单复数。cook为可数名词，根据该句中的“These”可知，该处用复数形式。
70．to eat 解析：考查动词不定式。分析该句结构可知，此处应用疑问代词what＋to do作介词of的宾语。

Dear Sir or Madam，
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. I’m writing to invite your school to take part in our school’s upcoming Dragon Boat Race from May 25th to 30th on the Pearl River in Shamian, Guangzhou.
The event is a fantastic opportunity for our schools to develop closer ties and to promote cultural exchange. The annual Dragon Boat Festival is one of China’s most important cultural events, commemorating the ancient Poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself after being accused. It will provide students the chance to learn from each other，improve their boating skills and promote friendship.
We know that Cambridge High School has an outstanding boating team and would like you to take part.We’d appreciate hearing from your reply before April 15th.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
