Module 1 Our Body and Healthy Habits
Use it or lose it!
The old expression “Healthy body, healthy mind” is more important than ever nowadays. The pace (节奏) of life is faster, so more and more people have started doing sports and aerobics (有氧运动) classes to exercise their bodies. But research has shown it is also important to exercise your brain.
Scientists have discovered that some activities help the brain to change and grow. This makes the brain stronger and healthier, so it can work better. They call these activities neurobics — aerobics of the brain. One example is reading upside down. We read with our eyes. But when we do it upside down, we use our sense of sight in a new and surprising way. We have to pay more attention to each word. This can make you feel angry because it's more difficult and takes longer. But it causes a new emotion (情绪) and this unexpected emotion also stimulates (刺激) the brain, and so helps it to develop.
There are many simple neurobic exercises you can do. Take opening the door as an example. If you look for your key, and open the door with your eyes closed, it becomes neurobic because you use your sense of touch, not your sense of sight, and this makes the brain work harder. And try cleaning your teeth with your left hand, not your right. A right-handed person uses the left side of the brain to do this action. When you use your left hand, you use the right side of the brain, so it grows.
Dr Katz, Professional Therapist, believes that everyday life is the neurobic brain gym. You can do neurobic exercises anywhere. So if you want to do well in exams and be more creative, do neurobics!

But that's because I was stupid enough to play football in the rain.【2】 I don't often get things like flu either. Last winter almost all my classmates got flu — but I didn't. I think I don't get these things because I take a lot of exercise and am very fit. Two years ago I broke⑧ my arm playing football【3】. The injury⑨ was quite painful⑩ and I couldn't move my arm for a month — I hated that.

So as you can see from what I've said, I'm a normal? kind of person.【4】 But there's one thing I really love【5】 — I'm crazy about? football.

周凯(2)
我妈妈总是想方设法让我们吃得很健康,新鲜的水果和蔬菜是我们饮食中非常重要的一部分。我们住在大海附近,每个星期大约吃四次鱼。我们不吃太多的脂肪或糖。我的很多校友每天都吃甜食,但我很幸运我不喜好甜食——我更愿意吃一块可口的水果。我不是很胖,所以我不必节食,也不必做其他类似的事情。
我很健康。我很少感冒,可是上周却意外患了重感冒,而且有点儿发烧。但那是因为我傻得在雨中踢足球了。我也不常患流行性感冒之类的疾病。去年冬天,几乎我所有的同班同学都患了流行性感冒——但我没有。我认为我不会得这些病,因为我经常锻炼,很健康。两年前我在踢足球时胳膊骨折了。受伤处很疼,并且我的胳膊一个月都不能动——我讨厌那样。
所以正如从我说的话里你能够了解的那样,我是个普通人。但是有一件事情我真的喜欢——我迷恋足球。在学校,我是班级足球队队长,同时也是高中队的队员。正因为如此,我得确保我有合理的饮食,(当然)正如我所说的,这不是问题,因为我妈妈让我们吃得非常好。

A
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
It's no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak (皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season (旺季), so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is usually very crowded (拥挤的) with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer (较平静的) and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is good value in September, but even better a month later.
Aeolian Islands, Italy
Sicily's beautiful seven islands often attract Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don't miss Panarea, where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.
St Tropez, France
St Tropez in high season is full, but come the end of August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It's also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse's Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay (海湾) in St Maxime.
【语篇解读】 本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个旅游胜地的最佳旅行季节和最佳住宿地点。

A.Mykonos, Greece.
B.St Tropez, France.

2.When is the best time to stay in the Grace Mykonos?
A.In July. B.In August.

3.Why does the author say September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands?
A.There are fewer tourists.
B.The weather is quite good.

4.Which word can best describe St Tropez at the end of August?

C.Busy. D.Green.

B
Sam thought he'd never be able to get a job as a barista (咖啡师). The Toronto teen has autism (自闭症) with a movement disorder, and feared he wouldn't be able to work behind a coffee counter because of the sudden movements he sometimes makes.
But the manager at a local Starbucks believed in him and gave him a chance. Sam is now enjoying his new job thanks to an unexpected way: dance.
In a video posted on YouTube this week by Carly Fleischmann, Sam is seen dancing while preparing Starbucks beverages (饮料). According to Fleischmann, who herself has autism and likes to share her experiences on her social page, the Starbucks manager was the person who encouraged Sam to “turn his movements into dance.”
The store manager, Chris Ali, told CTV News this week that they'd discovered Sam's talent (才能) for dancing while the pair listened to music at work.
“It was something that kind of came along. Sam loves to dance,” he said. “Bringing dance to his work really helped him control some of the movement disabilities he's had.”
Ali added that the dancing has also helped build Sam's self-confidence (自信心).
“When he was offered a job to work at Starbucks, Sam told his parents that for the first time... his life had real meaning,” wrote Fleischmann in a Facebook post. “It has taken Sam and Chris a lot of hours to get Sam to do what he is doing in the video... If it wasn't for Chris believing in Sam, he would have never believed in himself. More people like Sam need to be seen and heard.”
Sam, Fleischmann noted, has come to be known as the “dancing barista.” Ali told CTV News that customers love the teen's dancing, and that many visit the store just to see him dance.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章介绍了星巴克自闭症店员变身跳舞咖啡师。
5.Chris Ali found Sam's talent for dancing ________.
A.while drinking coffee
B.while working with Sam
C.from a YouTube video
D.from a local newspaper
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。由第四段中的“Chris Ali, told CTV News this week that they'd discovered Sam's talent for dancing while the pair listened to music at work”可知,Chris Ali是与Sam一起工作听音乐的时候发现了他的舞蹈才能。
6.What do we know about Sam before he worked at Starbucks?
A.He often talked to himself.
B.He always danced to the music.
C.He shared dance videos on YouTube.
D.He had no confidence in himself.
答案与解析:D 细节理解题。结合第一段中的“feared he wouldn't be able to work behind a coffee counter”和倒数第二段中的“When he was offered a job to work at Starbucks, Sam told his parents that for the first time... his life had real meaning”可知,因为患有自闭症又有运动障碍,没有工作之前的Sam没有自信心。
7.What can dancing provide Sam with?
A.More time with his boss.
B.More praise from his parents.
C.More control over his movements.
D.More chances of getting new jobs.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由倒数第四段中的“Bringing dance to his work really helped him control some of the movement disabilities he's had”可知,舞蹈可以帮助Sam控制他的运动。
8.What did Fleischmann think of Sam's dancing while working?
A.It was out of style.
B.It was unacceptable.
C.It was easy to copy.
D.It was video-worthy.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。结合第三段中的“In a video posted on YouTube this week by Carly Fleischmann”和倒数第二段中的“More people like Sam need to be seen and heard”可知,Fleischmann认为Sam边跳舞边工作的视频值得拍摄,因为像Sam一样的人可以被更多的人关注。
Ⅳ.七选五
Toymakers look for new places to sell toys
As the World's biggest toy store, Toys “R” Us is closing all 800 of its U.S. stores. __1__ Some experts think supermarkets are the best place.
The idea makes some sense. Parents need to buy food all year. __2__ Toy companies (公司) want to sell toys all year, too. Now, most toys are sold in the weeks before Christmas.
The U.S. has more than 38,000 supermarkets. Customers shop often for food. Parents may have unhappy kids with them. A toy could be just the thing to calm a child.
But parents also dislike it when kids ask for too many things. On shopping days, they might leave kids at home. __3__
David J. Livingston studies supermarket research. He doesn't think supermarkets will add too many toys. “Being annoyed (恼怒的) by toys is going to turn parents off,” he said.
U.S. toy sales totaled $20.7 billion in 2017. __4__ Amazon, Walmart, and Target sell toys, too. Online sales continue to grow.
Phil Lempert, a food industry expert, doesn't think food stores will give a lot of room for toys. But he says stores might let shoppers pick up toys they ordered online. Then customers wouldn't have to worry about delivery issues (交货问题).
Toymakers are looking for new places to find customers. They are worried about losing Toys “R” Us. __5__ It will move. The big question is:Where will it go?
A.There is risk for toymakers too.
B.So where will we go to buy toys?
C.But the toy business won't go away.
D.And kids want the latest toys year-round.
E.Or they might choose to go to toy-free stores.
F.Toys “R” Us isn't the only place where we buy them.
G.The United States is the world's largest toy market.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。全球最大的玩具零售商Toys “R” Us将关闭所有的美国门店,这引发了美国民众对该去何处买玩具的讨论。有些专家认为超市是个不错的选择,但另外一些专家则持不同意见。
1.答案与解析:B 由于Toys “R” Us将关闭所有的美国门店,这导致了美国人不知道该去哪儿买玩具。该空后的“supermarkets are the best place”是对B项中的“where will we go to buy toys”的回答。
2.答案与解析:D D项中的“kids want the latest toys year-round”与该空前的“Parents need to buy food all year”和该空后的“Toy companies want to sell toys all year”相呼应。这三个原因是对上文“Some experts think supermarkets are the best place (to buy toys)”这一想法可行性的解释。
3.答案与解析:E 由上文中的“parents also dislike it when kids ask for too many things”可知,由于不喜欢孩子要求太多东西,因此购物时,家长会避免给孩子买玩具。E项中的“choose to go to toy-free stores”与该空前的“leave kids at home”相呼应。
4.答案与解析:F 由该空后的“Amazon, Walmart, and Target sell toys, too. Online sales continue to grow”可知,Toys “R” Us并不是唯一可以买到玩具的地方。
5.答案与解析:C C项中的“the toy business won't go away”与该空后的“It will move”相呼应。此处指虽然玩具制造商失去了零售商Toys “R” Us,但玩具业不会消失。

Reading and Vocabulary Section Ⅱ Grammar

[考情分析]
高考要求学生应该掌握各类词性的正确使用及转化,能够运用构词法知识猜测语境中生词的语义。词性转化为每年语篇填空必考内容。除直接考查外,每年的高考试卷中都会对构词法知识间接考查(文中出现),有些会造成一定的阅读难度。
批语
有些名词转化为动词时形式不变,但读音会发生变化。
1.“名清动浊”:
①作名词时发清辅音/s/;
②作动词时发浊辅音/z/。
excuse[?k'skju?s]n.理由
[?k'skju?z]v.原谅
house[ha?s]n.房子
[ha?z]v.给……提供住处
2.“名前动后”:
①作名词时重音在前;
②作动词时重音在后。
record['rek??d]n.纪录;记载
[r?'k??d]v.记录;录音
[高考佳句]
A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope.

Ⅱ.用括号里所给词的适当形式填空
1.More and more people were gathering there. He shouldered (shoulder) his way through the crowd and rushed into the burning house.
2.She spends her spare time nursing (nurse) her mother.
二、will和be going to表示将来
1.“will+动词原形”表示将来
(1)表示纯粹的将来
The agreement will come into force next spring.协议将在明年春天生效。
(2)表示说话人的推测
She will be all right after taking the medicine.吃了这药,她就会好的。
(3)表示将来的意愿、允诺、决心、命令等

(2)表示有迹象表明即将发生某事。
Listen to the wind. We are going to have a rough navigation.
听那风声,我们航行时困难一定很大。
[名师点津]
be going to表示按计划或安排将要发生的事情;而will不强调行为的计划性,多指临时的决定或安排。
—Mary is ill. I am going to visit her.
—Sorry, I didn't know. I will go with you.
——玛丽病了,我打算去看她。

3.将来时的其他表示方法

He was about to go out when the telephone rang.他正要出去,这时电话铃响了。
[考情分析]
动词的时态和语态是历年高考英语测试的重中之重。命题思路有三:一是直接给出标志性时间状语,考生能依据所给的时间状语作出选择;二是给出时间状语,但所给时间状语有着较强的干扰性,考生不能直接根据时间状语作出选择,需要结合语境判断;三是没有任何时间状语,需要借助于上下文语境,才能作出正确判断。
批语
考生应熟知常用时态和被动语态的构成及用法,解题时一定要结合语境,弄清时间的先后关系,综合得出答案。
[高考佳句]
The students have been working hard on their lessons and their efforts will be rewarded with success in the end.
学生们一直刻苦学习功课,最终回报他们努力的将是成功。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
In the early 1990s, Staffan Lindeberg from Lund University in Sweden travelled to Papua New Guinea to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as this was very close to the Stone Age diet, that is, the food people ate many thousands of years ago before humans started farming. While there, he found that the people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would influence them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and they all had some problems with their hearts.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced (减少) their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients' weight didn't seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier? The diet contains some meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and nuts but it doesn't contain any dairy products or grains, such as wheat or rice, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitavan people are healthier than us. According to Professor Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of not having enough healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they might live as long as people in more developed countries.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项关于“石器时代饮食对人体健康影响”的研究。
1.What did Lindeberg's tests in Sweden show?
A.The Mediterranean diet was unhealthy.
B.The Stone Age diet could make people healthier.
C.People's blood sugar levels had something to do with their weight.
D.People who like eating fruit and vegetables had fewer heart problems.
答案与解析:B 推理判断题。由第三段中的实验结果“those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood”和“The patients in both groups also lost weight”可知,相较于地中海饮食来说,石器时代饮食可以使人们更加健康。
2.What's so special about the Stone Age diet?
A.No salt. B.No meat.
C.A lot of grains. D.Too much sugar.
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“the Stone Age diet... doesn't contain any dairy products or grains, such as wheat or rice, and there is no salt”可知,石器时代饮食的特点是不含盐,并且不含奶制品以及谷物类食物。
3.What can we infer about the Kitavan people according to Professor Lindeberg?
A.Most of them need to lose weight.
B.They are healthier than westerners.
C.Many of them cannot live to the age of fifty.
D.They generally have high blood sugar levels.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty”可知,该岛上的居民寿命较短,很多都活不到50岁。

The health care system of a country is very important and different countries have different ways of① paying for② it.
Britain was the first country in the world to have a free③ health care system paid for by the government【1】. Health care is free for everyone living in Britain【2】. Most doctors and nurses work for the government and most hospitals are owned by④ the government. Until recently⑤ this system was very successful but recently there have been problems. This is because the government has not put enough money into⑥ the health service⑦.【3】 As a result⑧, more people are using private⑨ health insurance⑩. They see doctors who work for themselves【4】 and pay the doctors through? the health insurance company.
【1】to have a free health...为不定式短语作定语,修饰前面的the first country。其中paid for by the government为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a free health care system,它相当于定语从句that is paid for by the government。
【2】现在分词短语living in Britain作后置定语,修饰everyone,它可以转化为定语从句who lives in Britain。
【3】本句包含“This is because...”句型,该句型意为“这是因为……”,其中because引导表语从句。
【4】who work for themselves为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词doctors,who可用that替换。
In America the system is very different. Most people have private health insurance. Doctors work for themselves and hospitals are privately owned. The health insurance company pays the doctors and the hospitals. The problem with? this system is that poorer people don't have the money to? pay for private health insurance【5】. As a result, they often have both health and money problems.
【5】that poorer people... insurance为that引导的表语从句,that不可省略。
Canada has a different system again. Health care is free. Doctors work privately and hospitals are privately owned. When you become ill, medical fees? are paid for by the government.
[课文翻译]
一个国家的医疗保健制度是很重要的,并且不同国家有不同的付费方式。
英国是世界上第一个实行免费医疗保健制度的国家——费用由政府承担。医疗保健对居住在英国的每个人都是免费的。大多数医生和护士都为政府工作,大多数医院归政府所有。一直以来,这项制度都非常成功,但最近却出现了问题。原因是政府没有向医疗服务投入足够的钱。这样一来,更多的人使用私人医疗保险。他们去看私人医生,并通过医疗保险公司把钱支付给这些医生。
在美国,医疗保健制度大为不同。多数人有个人医疗保险。医生都为自己工作,医院为私人所有。医疗保险公司付费给医生和医院。这种制度的问题在于较穷的人没钱买私人医疗保险。因此,他们经常面临健康和钱的问题。
加拿大的医疗保健制度又有所不同。医疗保健是免费的。医生为自己工作,医院是私有的。当你生病时,医疗费用由政府支付。

The Pharos, the great lighthouse of Alexandria, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It stood on the island of Pharos, in the harbor of the city of Alexandria. In 290 B.C., Ptolemy I Soter, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the building of the lighthouse. Twenty years later, it was finished — the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest building on Earth, besides the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
The Pharos was designed by Sostrates, a Greek architect. Sostrates wanted to leave his name on the base of the lighthouse. But Ptolemy refused, ordering that only his own name appear on the building. But Sostrates found a way to do that. At the base of the Pharos, Sostrates left a message containing his own name. Then he covered it with plaster (建筑石膏) and left Ptolemy's name over it. After many years, the plaster disappeared and people knew the true architect of the lighthouse.
In 1302 and 1323, two strong earthquakes hit Alexandria, damaging the lighthouse. In 1326, it finally fell into the sea. Much of what we know about the lighthouse comes from the writings of Arabs who once visited the Pharos.
The Pharos was about 384 feet tall, the same height as a modern 40-story building. At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Under it was a beacon, the source of light for the lighthouse. The Pharos used two kinds of beacons. At night, a large fire created the light. During the day, a huge mirror made use of the sunlight to create the light.
It was said that the mirror was also used to set enemy ships on fire as they entered the harbor by directing the sun's rays (sunlight) at them. While the idea is interesting, it is also clearly impossible.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了古代世界七大奇迹之一的亚历山大灯塔。
1.Why did Sostrates use plaster at the base of the Pharos?
A.To follow Ptolemy's orders.
B.To hide his name left on the base.
C.To protect the base from damage.
D.To make the lighthouse more beautiful.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Sostrates left a message containing his own name. Then he covered it with plaster and left Ptolemy's name over it”可知,Sostrates是亚历山大灯塔的设计者,他在底座使用建筑石膏是为了隐藏他的名字。
2.How long had the Pharos stayed standing?
A.For about 800 years.
B.For about 1,000 years.
C.For about 1,600 years.
D.For about 2,000 years.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“In 290 B.C, Ptolemy I Soter, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the building of the lighthouse. Twenty years later, it was finished”可知,亚历山大灯塔于公元前270年建成;再由第三段中的“In 1326, it finally fell into the sea”可知,它大约存在了1 600年。
3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The lighthouse. B.The statue.
C.A large fire. D.A huge mirror.
答案与解析:B 篇章结构题。联系前一句“At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea”可知,此处it指的是波塞冬雕像。
4.What's the main purpose of the text?
A.To explain why the Pharos was built.
B.To find more secrets about the Pharos.
C.To offer some basic facts about the Pharos.
D.To introduce the true architect of the Pharos.
答案与解析:C 写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了埃及亚历山大灯塔的一些基本信息。
Ⅳ.完形填空
One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be __1__ when you are not busy finding fault with it.

I'm not suggesting you __16__ problems, or that you pretend things are __17__ than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be what they are — __18__ most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big __19__.
Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little __20__, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

Join hands to protect our environment
Dear fellow students,
As we all know, when the environment is not healthy, it has a negative effect on us.
However, in our school, students can often be seen scribbling on walls or dropping litter wherever they want. It not only makes our school dirty and unpleasant, but also does harm to the image of our school.
Therefore, it's time for us to take measures to solve the problems. First, every one of us should develop good habits and behave ourselves better. Meanwhile, if we find someone damaging our environment, we should stop them without hesitation.
Only with the great efforts of both teachers and students will our school become a more enjoyable place to study in.
Let's take action now!

A
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
It's no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak (皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season (旺季), so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is usually very crowded (拥挤的) with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer (较平静的) and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is good value in September, but even better a month later.
Aeolian Islands, Italy
Sicily's beautiful seven islands often attract Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don't miss Panarea, where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.
St Tropez, France
St Tropez in high season is full, but come the end of August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It's also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse's Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay (海湾) in St Maxime.
【语篇解读】 本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个旅游胜地的最佳旅行季节和最佳住宿地点。
1.Where can you go if you are interested in historic buildings?
A.Mykonos, Greece.

2.When is the best time to stay in the Grace Mykonos?
A.In July. B.In August.
C.In October. D.In September.

3.Why does the author say September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands?
A.There are fewer tourists.
B.The weather is quite good.
C.There's a chance to meet stars.

C.Busy. D.Green.

Sam thought he'd never be able to get a job as a barista (咖啡师). The Toronto teen has autism (自闭症) with a movement disorder, and feared he wouldn't be able to work behind a coffee counter because of the sudden movements he sometimes makes.
But the manager at a local Starbucks believed in him and gave him a chance. Sam is now enjoying his new job thanks to an unexpected way: dance.
In a video posted on YouTube this week by Carly Fleischmann, Sam is seen dancing while preparing Starbucks beverages (饮料). According to Fleischmann, who herself has autism and likes to share her experiences on her social page, the Starbucks manager was the person who encouraged Sam to “turn his movements into dance.”
The store manager, Chris Ali, told CTV News this week that they'd discovered Sam's talent (才能) for dancing while the pair listened to music at work.
“It was something that kind of came along. Sam loves to dance,” he said. “Bringing dance to his work really helped him control some of the movement disabilities he's had.”
Ali added that the dancing has also helped build Sam's self-confidence (自信心).
“When he was offered a job to work at Starbucks, Sam told his parents that for the first time... his life had real meaning,” wrote Fleischmann in a Facebook post. “It has taken Sam and Chris a lot of hours to get Sam to do what he is doing in the video... If it wasn't for Chris believing in Sam, he would have never believed in himself. More people like Sam need to be seen and heard.”
Sam, Fleischmann noted, has come to be known as the “dancing barista.” Ali told CTV News that customers love the teen's dancing, and that many visit the store just to see him dance.

Ⅳ.七选五
Toymakers look for new places to sell toys
As the World's biggest toy store, Toys “R” Us is closing all 800 of its U.S. stores. __1__ Some experts think supermarkets are the best place.
The idea makes some sense. Parents need to buy food all year. __2__ Toy companies (公司) want to sell toys all year, too. Now, most toys are sold in the weeks before Christmas.
The U.S. has more than 38,000 supermarkets. Customers shop often for food. Parents may have unhappy kids with them. A toy could be just the thing to calm a child.
But parents also dislike it when kids ask for too many things. On shopping days, they might leave kids at home. __3__
David J. Livingston studies supermarket research. He doesn't think supermarkets will add too many toys. “Being annoyed (恼怒的) by toys is going to turn parents off,” he said.
U.S. toy sales totaled $20.7 billion in 2017. __4__ Amazon, Walmart, and Target sell toys, too. Online sales continue to grow.
Phil Lempert, a food industry expert, doesn't think food stores will give a lot of room for toys. But he says stores might let shoppers pick up toys they ordered online. Then customers wouldn't have to worry about delivery issues (交货问题).
Toymakers are looking for new places to find customers. They are worried about losing Toys “R” Us. __5__ It will move. The big question is:Where will it go?
A.There is risk for toymakers too.
B.So where will we go to buy toys?
C.But the toy business won't go away.
D.And kids want the latest toys year-round.
E.Or they might choose to go to toy-free stores.
F.Toys “R” Us isn't the only place where we buy them.
G.The United States is the world's largest toy market.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。全球最大的玩具零售商Toys “R” Us将关闭所有的美国门店,这引发了美国民众对该去何处买玩具的讨论。有些专家认为超市是个不错的选择,但另外一些专家则持不同意见。
1.答案与解析:B 由于Toys “R” Us将关闭所有的美国门店,这导致了美国人不知道该去哪儿买玩具。该空后的“supermarkets are the best place”是对B项中的“where will we go to buy toys”的回答。
2.答案与解析:D D项中的“kids want the latest toys year-round”与该空前的“Parents need to buy food all year”和该空后的“Toy companies want to sell toys all year”相呼应。这三个原因是对上文“Some experts think supermarkets are the best place (to buy toys)”这一想法可行性的解释。
3.答案与解析:E 由上文中的“parents also dislike it when kids ask for too many things”可知,由于不喜欢孩子要求太多东西,因此购物时,家长会避免给孩子买玩具。E项中的“choose to go to toy-free stores”与该空前的“leave kids at home”相呼应。
4.答案与解析:F 由该空后的“Amazon, Walmart, and Target sell toys, too. Online sales continue to grow”可知,Toys “R” Us并不是唯一可以买到玩具的地方。
5.答案与解析:C C项中的“the toy business won't go away”与该空后的“It will move”相呼应。此处指虽然玩具制造商失去了零售商Toys “R” Us,但玩具业不会消失。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
In the early 1990s, Staffan Lindeberg from Lund University in Sweden travelled to Papua New Guinea to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as this was very close to the Stone Age diet, that is, the food people ate many thousands of years ago before humans started farming. While there, he found that the people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would influence them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and they all had some problems with their hearts.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced (减少) their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients' weight didn't seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier? The diet contains some meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and nuts but it doesn't contain any dairy products or grains, such as wheat or rice, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitavan people are healthier than us. According to Professor Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of not having enough healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they might live as long as people in more developed countries.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项关于“石器时代饮食对人体健康影响”的研究。
1.What did Lindeberg's tests in Sweden show?
A.The Mediterranean diet was unhealthy.
B.The Stone Age diet could make people healthier.
C.People's blood sugar levels had something to do with their weight.
D.People who like eating fruit and vegetables had fewer heart problems.
答案与解析:B 推理判断题。由第三段中的实验结果“those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood”和“The patients in both groups also lost weight”可知,相较于地中海饮食来说,石器时代饮食可以使人们更加健康。
2.What's so special about the Stone Age diet?
A.No salt. B.No meat.
C.A lot of grains. D.Too much sugar.
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“the Stone Age diet... doesn't contain any dairy products or grains, such as wheat or rice, and there is no salt”可知,石器时代饮食的特点是不含盐,并且不含奶制品以及谷物类食物。
3.What can we infer about the Kitavan people according to Professor Lindeberg?
A.Most of them need to lose weight.
B.They are healthier than westerners.
C.Many of them cannot live to the age of fifty.
D.They generally have high blood sugar levels.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty”可知,该岛上的居民寿命较短,很多都活不到50岁。

The Pharos, the great lighthouse of Alexandria, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It stood on the island of Pharos, in the harbor of the city of Alexandria. In 290 B.C., Ptolemy I Soter, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the building of the lighthouse. Twenty years later, it was finished — the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest building on Earth, besides the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
The Pharos was designed by Sostrates, a Greek architect. Sostrates wanted to leave his name on the base of the lighthouse. But Ptolemy refused, ordering that only his own name appear on the building. But Sostrates found a way to do that. At the base of the Pharos, Sostrates left a message containing his own name. Then he covered it with plaster (建筑石膏) and left Ptolemy's name over it. After many years, the plaster disappeared and people knew the true architect of the lighthouse.
In 1302 and 1323, two strong earthquakes hit Alexandria, damaging the lighthouse. In 1326, it finally fell into the sea. Much of what we know about the lighthouse comes from the writings of Arabs who once visited the Pharos.
The Pharos was about 384 feet tall, the same height as a modern 40-story building. At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Under it was a beacon, the source of light for the lighthouse. The Pharos used two kinds of beacons. At night, a large fire created the light. During the day, a huge mirror made use of the sunlight to create the light.
It was said that the mirror was also used to set enemy ships on fire as they entered the harbor by directing the sun's rays (sunlight) at them. While the idea is interesting, it is also clearly impossible.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了古代世界七大奇迹之一的亚历山大灯塔。
1.Why did Sostrates use plaster at the base of the Pharos?
A.To follow Ptolemy's orders.
B.To hide his name left on the base.
C.To protect the base from damage.
D.To make the lighthouse more beautiful.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Sostrates left a message containing his own name. Then he covered it with plaster and left Ptolemy's name over it”可知,Sostrates是亚历山大灯塔的设计者,他在底座使用建筑石膏是为了隐藏他的名字。
2.How long had the Pharos stayed standing?
A.For about 800 years.
B.For about 1,000 years.
C.For about 1,600 years.
D.For about 2,000 years.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“In 290 B.C, Ptolemy I Soter, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the building of the lighthouse. Twenty years later, it was finished”可知,亚历山大灯塔于公元前270年建成;再由第三段中的“In 1326, it finally fell into the sea”可知,它大约存在了1 600年。
3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The lighthouse. B.The statue.
C.A large fire. D.A huge mirror.
答案与解析:B 篇章结构题。联系前一句“At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea”可知,此处it指的是波塞冬雕像。
4.What's the main purpose of the text?
A.To explain why the Pharos was built.
B.To find more secrets about the Pharos.
C.To offer some basic facts about the Pharos.
D.To introduce the true architect of the Pharos.
答案与解析:C 写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了埃及亚历山大灯塔的一些基本信息。

It's my grandmother's seventy birthday today. As usually, my family got together to celebrate it. We bought her a lot of presents, and my father prepared for a big birthday cake.
At the dinner party, they sang Happy Birthday to You. She made a wish happy before she blew the candles out. I cooked a dish for her as special gift. Since I have never cooked before, she was so surprising when the dish was served. My grandmother said that it was the better birthday gift she had received.
