(2019·惠州高三第一次调研)I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote: “The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing．” So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.

B
(2019·广东七校高三第一次联考)On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date(保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4，000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.
The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly－expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.
Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.
Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.
France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110，000 tons of goods received annually, only 36，000 tons come from supermarkets. Bailet estimates(估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.
Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France, an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。法国成为世界上第一个通过法律规定要求超市捐赠接近保质期食物给粮食银行而不是扔掉食物的国家。该规定有效防止了食物浪费。
5．What should stores do with nearly－expired food?
A．Throw it away.
B．Send it to the hungry.
C．Store it in refrigerators.
D．Give it away to food banks.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，法国通过的这项法律要求商店必须将即将过期的食品捐献给粮食银行，而不是扔掉，故D项正确。
6．What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Extra． B．Cheap.
C．Seasonal. D．Returned.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知，酸奶或牛奶等可能很快就会变质的过多产品现在可以直接捐赠给粮食银行，据此可以判断，画线词意为“额外的，超额的”，故A项“额外的，附加的”正确。B项意为“便宜的”，C项意为“季节性的”，D项意为“退还的”，都与语境不符。
7．What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?
A．They have a lot of expired food.
B．They will get much benefit from the law.
C．Their food is enough for the people in need.
D．Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food．”和最后一句可知，Bailet认为，法国的粮食银行将从这项法律中受益良多，故B项正确。
8．What does Dermabarsh plan to do?
A．Build more food banks in France.
B．Make the law take effect in more places.
C．Launch a campaign to promote this law.
D．Raise consumers’ awareness of waste reduction.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第二句“He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations．”可知，Arash Dermabarsh计划将这项法律推行到其他场所和国家，故B项正确。

(2019·合肥高三调研)Until a few years ago, I had what most people would call a good life. I had a 1 job that paid the bills; I had a good family that I was close to, and I had a place to live and money in the bank for trips and 2 ， and there was nothing much wrong in my life. 3 ， I was bored.

I had no idea whether I would be able to 15 everything that this very strange environment would 16 at me.
I spent five months in Vietnam, teaching, exploring and laughing. I’d learned to 17 myself, my skills, my abilities and my decisions. I returned home 18 ， even to myself, let alone to others. The 19 that had controlled my life and the self－doubt were 20 .
That one big chance changed everything for me, and in me.
