(2019·宜宾模考)Aruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world. You're probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you're in Aruba.
Clothes
The main reason why you're heading there is to relax on the country's fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you'll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you're finished at the beach or pool area, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.
It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner—regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments.
What else to bring?
The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you're planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.
What NOT to bring?
While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. There is no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.
Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.

A teacher teaching Maths to a six-year-old asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have？”
Within a few seconds, the boy replied confidently, “Four！”
The surprised teacher was disappointed. “Maybe he did not listen properly，” she thought.
She repeated, “Please listen carefully. It is very simple. You will be able to do it right if you listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have？”
The boy saw the disappointment on his teacher's face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make his teacher happy.
This time, hesitatingly, he replied, “Four ...”
The disappointment stayed on teacher's face. She remembered that the boy loves strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn't like apples and that is making him lose focus.
This time, with great excitement and twinkling eyes, she asked, “If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many will you have？”
Seeing the teacher happy, the young boy calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new approach to succeed.
With a hesitating smile, the young boy replied, “Three？”
The teacher was glad that her approach succeeded. Once again she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have？”
Quickly the answer was “Four！”
The teacher was aghast.
“How ... tell me, how？” she demanded in a little firm voice.
In a voice that was low and hesitating, the young boy replied, “Because I already have one apple in my bag.”
When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you are expecting, they are not necessarily wrong. There may be an angle that we may not have understood at all. The next time someone gives you a different idea from yours, sit down and gently ask, “Can you please help me understand？”
篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了一个数学老师和她的一个6岁的学生之间发生的故事。由此告诉我们：当别人没有给出你期望的正确答案时，他们并不一定是错误的。
4．Why did the teacher repeat the same question after the boy gave the wrong answer?
A．She was surprised and disappointed.
B．She wanted the boy to calculate again.
C．She expected to get the correct answer.
D．She thought the boy didn't listen properly.
答案：D 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Maybe he did not listen properly”可知，她认为孩子没听清楚，所以又问了一遍同样的问题。
5．How did the boy give his answer to the question about the strawberry?
A．Quickly. B．Confidently.
C．Hesitatingly. D．Surprisingly.
答案：C 细节理解题。由“With a hesitating smile, the young boy replied, ‘Three？’”可知，孩子对自己的答案不是很确定，所以带着犹豫的笑容，试探性地回答“是3吗？”
6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “aghast” in Paragraph 13?
A．excited B．shocked
C．relieved D．nervous
答案：B 词义猜测题。上文提到老师问了两遍关于几个苹果的问题，孩子都答错了。老师把问题中的苹果换成草莓，结果孩子答对了。再把草莓换成苹果，孩子又答错了。此时，老师一定很惊讶。
7．What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A．Be patient to understand the different ideas.
B．Correct others' mistakes immediately if any.
C．Never expect to get the same idea with yours.
D．There are always different ideas from another angle.

calculate vt. 计算；预测 hesitatingly adv. 犹豫不决地 twinkling adj. 闪烁的，闪亮的，闪耀的
最后一段第一句：When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you are expecting, they are not necessarily wrong.

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
(2019·安徽押题卷)If you think your kids aren't eating enough fruit, you may be right. How can you get your kids to eat more fruit? Telling a child won't succeed. And, the more you ask your children to eat something, the more they'll push back. Here're five skills you can use to guide them without saying a word.
1．Eat Together. Eat fruit in front of your kids and they're more likely to want. Krisena Borenstein, a mother of two children aged three and four, has seen this type of role-modeling work. __1__ Watching their father eat apples may cause them to want “what Daddy eats”．
2．Keep Trying. Many children reject new foods because they're afraid of them, not because they don't like the taste. __2__ You may need to present a new fruit 10 times or more before they'll accept it.
3．Slice Fruit. __3__ When Borenstein asks her children if they want an apple, they'll often say “No”. But when she cuts it up, they'll eat it.
4．Let Them Pick Their Fruit. While it's not as exciting as picking fruit off a tree, your children can still take part in the picking process at the market. Take the kids to the farmers' market, where they can sample (抽样检查) fruit and choose the pieces they want to bring home. __4__
5．Mix It Up. __5__ Experiment with frozen, freeze-dried, canned, fresh and dried fruit, as well as 100 percent juice.
A．Don't give up!
B．The taste is important to kids.
C．Offer fruit in a variety of forms, and shapes.
D．They might start to show off the fruit after returning home.
E．Having them take part makes them more excited about eating it.
F．Your kids may be more likely to want sliced fruit than whole fruit.
G．While her kids loved berries (浆果), they wouldn't try apples or pears.
1．G 由该空后面的“Watching their father eat apples eventually causes them to want ‘what Daddy eats’．”判断G项符合语境。
2．A 由本段主题“Keep Trying.”与后面的“You may need to present a new fruit 10 times or more before they'll accept it.”判断，A项“不要放弃”符合语境。
3．F 由本段主题“Slice Fruit.”与该空后面的“When Borenstein asks her children if they want an apple, they'll often say ‘No’. But when she cuts it up, they'll eat it.”判断F项符合语境。
4．E 由本段主题“Let Them Pick Their Fruit.”判断E项符合语境。
5．C 由本段主题“Mix It Up.”与后面的“Experiment with frozen, freeze-dried, canned, fresh and dried fruit, as well as 100 percent juice.”判断C项符合语境。
role-modeling 角色榜样 reject vt. 拒绝接受 cut up 切碎
第五段第二句：While it's not as exciting as picking fruit off a tree, your children can still take part in the picking process at the market.
译文：虽然它没有从树上摘水果那么令人兴奋，但你的孩子仍然可以参与到去市场上挑选水果。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，while引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管，虽然”。

Planning when to eat meals and snacks and not skipping breakfast, are patterns associated with healthier diets, which could reduce cardiovascular (心血管的) disease risk, according to a new scientific statement published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
The statement provides information of the current scientific evidence suggesting when and how often people eat may affect risk factors for heart attack, or other diseases.
“Meal timing may affect health due to its effect on the body's internal (内部的) clock. In animal studies, it appears that when animals receive food while in an inactive state, such as when they are sleeping, their internal clocks are reset in a way that can change nutrient metabolism (新陈代谢), resulting in greater weight gain, and other diseases. However, more research would need to be done in humans before that can be stated as a fact，” said Marie-Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D., writing group chair and an associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University in New York City.
The statement stresses that it is still important to eat a healthy diet, emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and fish, while limiting red meat, salt and foods high in added sugars, but when and how often a person eats may also affect cardiovascular wellness according to a growing body of research.
There is a link between eating breakfast and having lower heart disease risk factors. Studies have found people who eat breakfast daily are less likely to have high blood pressure, and people who skip breakfast—about 20 percent to 30 percent of US adults—are more likely to be overweight, have improper nutrition, or be diagnosed with diabetes.
Given people's busy lives, setting time aside to eat without focusing on something else is important. “All activities have a place in a busy schedule, including healthy eating and being physically active，” St-Onge said. “Those activities should be planned ahead of time and proper time should be devoted to them.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。研究表明，健康的饮食习惯能减少心血管疾病的发病率。
5.How can we try to avoid cardiovascular disease risk by eating？
A.Avoiding eating too many snacks.
B.Meal timing and having breakfast.
C.Planning ahead of time to eat less.
D.Not skipping breakfast more often.
答案：B 细节理解题。由文章第一句可知，按时吃饭、不要错过早餐属于健康的饮食习惯，能够降低心血管疾病风险。
6.Which of the group is regarded as a healthy diet according to the text？
A.Whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
B.Fruits, vegetables, and more red meat.
C.Foods high in added sugars and salt.
D.Meat, fish, vegetables and more salt.
答案：A 细节理解题。由第四段中的“emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and fish, while limiting red meat, salt and foods high in added sugars”可知，多吃水果、蔬菜、谷类、低脂奶制品和鱼，同时减少红肉、盐和含糖量高的食物。
7.What should we do if we want to reduce the risk of high blood pressure？
A.Skip breakfast often.
B.Eat breakfast daily.
C.Have proper nutrition.
D.Lower heart disease risk.
答案：B 细节理解题。由第五段中的“Studies have found people who eat breakfast daily are less likely to have high blood pressure”可知，研究表明经常吃早餐的人，患上高血压的可能性更低。
8.What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To plan our eating time.
B.To make scientific studies.
C.To ask us to have breakfast.
D.To suggest healthier diets.
答案：D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者是在倡导健康的饮食习惯。
evidence n. 证据；根据 nutrient n. 营养物；营养素 be diagnosed with 被诊断出
第三段第二句：In animal studies, it appears that when animals receive food while in an inactive state, such as
when they are sleeping, their internal clocks are reset in a way that can change nutrient metabolism (新陈代谢), resulting in greater weight gain, and other diseases.
译文：在对动物的研究中，发现当动物在不活跃的状态下摄入食物时，比如当他们睡眠时，它们的内在生物钟被重新设置，改变了营养物质代谢，结果导致严重发胖或者其他疾病。
分析：本句是一个主从复合句。第一个that引导表语从句。在该表语从句中，when又引导时间状语从句；way后面的that引导定语从句，修饰先行词way。

答案：D 根据前文的“I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk.”可知，“我”的老师和“我”在一起几周后，“我”明白了所有东西都有自己的名字(name)。
immeasurable adj. 不可估量的；无限的；无穷的 eventful adj. 充满大事的；重要的 linger v. 流连；逗留；徘徊 uncomprehending adj. 不理解的；茫然的
第一段第一句：The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me.
译文：我一生中记得的最重要的一天是我的老师安妮·曼斯菲尔德·沙利文来到我身边的那一天。
分析：这是一个主从复合句。day后面是一个省略了引导词that的定语从句。on which 引导定语从句，修饰先行词the one。

When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick.
When my birthday rolled around again, I told my mother of my desire. My mother told me that we could only make ends meet and couldn't afford one.
One Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before my birthday, my parents told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit bill. After the bill was paid, my dad said, “I'll be right back, I need to see something in the tool department.” Soon my dad came back with a long box. I remembered wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box.
When we arrived back home my dad put the box in the barn. While my parents were busy with their chores, I slipped out to the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear.
No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so the morning of my birthday was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn't get the present that I really wanted.
After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the barn. When he came back, he was carrying my beautiful pogo stick. I couldn't believe it, how they were able to scrape (勉强维持) the money together for it and how they tricked me with the broom. I was so excited that I couldn't let the pogo stick out of my sight.
That was over 60 years ago and I still relive those valuable memories every birthday. Although we didn't have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all, an abundance of love.

Could you handle a no-buy year?
In recent years, some people have been attempting what's become known as a no-buy year. They are determined not to buy certain items for one year. __1__ If you're going to participate in a no-buy year or month, you probably should identify why you're doing it before you start. I encourage you to think about what your goals are and how buying nothing can help you reach them.
Without a goal, failure is more likely. __2__ Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could not only afford the activities but also have enough flexibility (灵活性) with my money. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need for three months. I eventually reached my goal.
__3__ But, as I think about the no-buy movement, I wonder what would have happened if I had kept the stricter habits. I love concerts and music festivals. Yet I often don't buy tickets for concerts. I buy little things frequently. If I could quit those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.
So I think the no-buy movement would bring us some happiness. __4__ Even though we're surrounded by a lot of things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are “perfect” for our immediate need.
I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival this summer. To get there, I'm going to not spend money on the things I don't need. __5__
A．Still, it's difficult.
B．We'll see how it goes.
C．I say this based on past experience.
D．But sometimes failure can benefit us.
E．They just use what they already have.
F．After all, happiness is what we all want.
G．After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过介绍自己的经验来建议人们如果打算一年或者一个月不购买某些物品，最好要有一个目标来激励自己。
1．E 前句介绍人们决心一年不购买某些东西，由此可推断，他们仅仅使用自己已有的物品。故E选项内容可以承接上文。
2．C 设空前是本段的主题句，而设空后是介绍作者自己的经验。由此推断，空格处是过渡句，C选项内容符合语境。
3．G 前段介绍了作者和孩子一起度过的一个假期，设空后一句讲到作者对自己重回过去的购物行为的反思。由此判断，G选项内容可以作为过渡句。
4．A 设空前内容为“不购买活动”会给人们带来快乐，而设空后内容为人们需要努力不受诱惑，做到不购买物品。由此判断，A选项内容符合语境。
5．B 空格前介绍了作者的新目标，所以作者和大家一起拭目以待，看看自己是否能够实现目标，故B选项内容可以承接上文。
attempt vt. 试图，尝试，企图 identify vt. 确定；识别，认出 convince vt. 使确信；使信服；说服
第一段第四句：If you're going to participate in a no-buy year or month, you probably should identify why you're doing it before you start.
译文：如果你打算一年或一个月不买东西，你应该在这个计划开始之前就知道你为什么要这么做。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，if引导条件状语从句。主句中why引导宾语从句，作动词identify的宾语；before引导时间状语从句。

A
(2019·广东模考)We have all been there. In a rush to leave the house we grab our phones ahead out of the door, realizing all too late that the battery is dead because we forgot to plug it into the table cloth. Or perhaps we have not. But this could be in future that scientists hope to explore with electronic sheets that charge our mobile phones, laptops and other equipment by harvesting energy from the world around us.
In a step in that direction, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created super-thin, bendy materials that absorb wireless Internet and other electromagnetic waves in the air and turn them into electricity. The lead researcher, Tomas Palacios, said the breakthrough smoothed the way for energy-harvesting covers ranging from table cloths to giant packing for buildings that catch energy from the environment to power sensors and other electronics.
Palacios and his colleagues connected a bendy antenna (天线) to a flexible semiconductor (半导体) layer only three atoms thick. The antenna picks up wi-fi and other radio frequency signals and turns them into a current. This flows into a special semiconductor, where it is changed into a direct electrical current. Researchers have made energy-harvesting “rectennas (整流天线)” before, but existing equipment is made from conventional semiconductors which are inflexible, fragile and practically impossible to make in large sheets.
The wi-fi signals can fill an office with more than 100 microwatts of power that is ripe to be collected by energy-harvesting equipment. The MIT system has an efficiency (效率) of between 30% and 40%，producing about 40 microwatts when exposed to signals bearing 150 microwatts of power in laboratory tests. “It doesn't sound like much compared with the 60 watts that a computer needs, but you can still do a lot with it，” Palacios said. “You can design a wide range of sensors, for environmental monitoring or chemical and biological sensing, which operate at the single microwatt level.”
Medical equipment is another potential application. Because wi-fi and similar radio-frequency signals pass through people, energy-harvesting covers could be applied to implanted sensors to provide them with enough power to send out health data to an outside receiver.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The phone. B．The door.
C．The sheet. D．The table.
答案：A 指代判断题。上文提到你匆忙拿着手机出门，结果发现手机没电了，因为你忘记把它插入桌布了。故it代指手机。
2．What is special about the new breakthrough?
A．It can harvest wi-fi energy.
B．It is super thin and flexible.
C It can power all the electronics.
D．It smoothes the way of receiving signals.
答案：B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“super-thin, bendy materials”可知，重大突破就是超薄、灵活。
3．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Another energy harvesting equipment.
B．The fun_ction of the health data receiver.
C．Another potential application of the new equipment.
D．The way to implant the new equipment into the patient.
答案：C 段落大意题。由主题句“Medical equipment is another potential application.”可知，本段主要讲了新设备的另一个潜在应用。
grab v. 抓住；攫取 battery n. 电池 conventional adj. 符合习俗的，传统的；常见的；惯例的
第二段第二句：The lead researcher, Tomas Palacios, said the breakthrough smoothed the way for energy-harvesting covers ranging from table cloths to giant packing for buildings that catch energy from the environment to power sensors and other electronics.
译文：首席研究员Tomas Palacios说，这一突破为能源收集罩的发展铺平了道路，包括从桌布到建筑物的巨型包装。这种能源收集罩能从环境中获取能量，并为传感器和其他电子设备提供动力。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，said后面是一个省略了that的宾语从句。而宾语从句中又含有一个定语从句，由that引导，修饰先行词covers。
B
(原创题)In 1782, the bald eagle was officially declared the national symbol of the United States. It became the icon that evoked (唤起) patriotism—a feeling of strength and power, of independence and courage. At the time, the population was at an estimated 100,000 birds.
In the 20th century, the population of bald eagles fell to dangerously low levels, leading to fears of extinction. Fortunately, decades of recovery efforts brought the species back from the brink—a witness to the meaningful milestones that can be achieved through effective conservation.
The decline likely began as early as the late 1800s, as both eagle prey and eagles were hunted for the feather trade. By 1960, there were only 400 nesting pairs left in the lower 48.
The first eagle protections came from the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, which prohibited the killing or selling of bald eagles. Despite this, populations continued to fall due to the widespread use of DDT in the 1940s and beyond—the pesticide often ending up in rivers, streams and lakes, and gathering in fish tissue. Birds that fed on these fish laid eggs with such thin shells that they cracked during nesting.
In 1967, the bald eagle was listed as “endangered” under the predecessor to the Endangered Species Act—the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966. The bald eagle was one of the first species to be officially listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) when it was signed in 1973.
The 1972 ban on DDT made the eagle's recovery possible. That recovery was greatly sped up by a combination of regulatory restrictions, nesting site protections, and reintroduction programs, which together contributed to a dramatic turnaround for bald eagle populations.
The ESA was a critical driver of all of these efforts. In 1995, the bald eagle's status was reduced from “endangered” to “threatened，” with an estimated 4,700 nesting pairs occurring in the lower 48 states. A little over a decade later, in 2007, the species was delisted with an estimated 10,000 nesting pairs.
In 40 years, the bird saw a 25-fold increase in its population. The ESA helped save the most iconic bird in the United States.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。拯救濒危珍稀野生动物，我们一直在行动！那么在本篇文章中又有哪一种珍贵的野生动物被成功救助了呢？
4．When did Americans first protect bald eagles officially?
A．In 1910. B．In 1940.
C．In 1782. D．In 1967.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，在1940年，美国人开始正式保护秃鹰。
5．What does the underlined word “they” refer to?
A．The fish. B．Thin shells.
C．Eggs. D．Bald eagles.
答案：C 指代判断题。根据画线词前面的“Birds that fed on these fish laid eggs with such thin shells”可知，这里的they指的是前面提到的eggs，指它们吃了DDT之后，鸟蛋的皮比较薄，因此鸟蛋容易坏，从而造成它们繁殖数量的下降。
6．How did the ESA help save the eagles?
A．Building nesting sites for eagles.
B．Setting up special conserves for eagles.
C．Prohibiting the killing or selling of eagles.
D．Forbidding the use of DDT.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句可知，ESA通过禁止使用DDT而帮助秃鹰物种免于灭绝。
7．How many laws are there about the eagles?
A．1. B．2.
C．3. D．4.
答案：D 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，共有4项法律法规是关于保护秃鹰的。
national symbol 国家象征 patriotism 爱国主义；爱国精神 brink n. 边缘，初始状态 milestone n. 重大事件，里程碑
第四段最后一句：Birds that fed on these fish laid eggs with such thin shells that they cracked during nesting.
译文：以这些鱼为食的鸟产下的蛋壳非常薄，以至于在筑巢时蛋壳会裂开。
分析：这是一个主从复合句。本句使用了such ... that ... 句型，句中that引导结果状语从句；另外that fed on these fish是定语从句，修饰先行词birds。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Crossword puzzles and exercise are just a few of the habits that improve memory best. But to __1__ (true) give your brain a push, you might want to take a simple tip to heart—and it's nothing you learned in school.
So far researchers from Waterloo University in Canada __2__ (unvover) what may be the easiest way to improve your memory ever. Their research, recently published in the journal Memory，__3__ (suggest) that reading out loud yourself can increase your recall skills __4__ up to 15%.
In the study, scientists asked 95 __5__ (participate) to test four methods for learning __6__ (write) information: reading silently, hearing someone else read, reading aloud, and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Their results? Participants who read the information out loud showed the best retention (保持) rates—about 15% __7__ (high) in learning speed, in fact.
“Say __8__ you want to remember out loud, and you'll have __9__ higher likelihood of remembering it. Yes, it's that simple！” psychologist and study co-author Colin MacLeod said.
So next time you're preparing for a big exam, devote some time to __10__ (read) loud. Trust us, it might make you a genius.
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。大声朗读出所要记忆的内容，可以提高记忆效果。
1．truly 考查词性转换。修饰动词短语give your brain a push，用副词形式。
2．have uncovered 考查动词的时态。句首的so far意为“到目前为止”，常与现在完成时连用。
3．suggests 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。文章用的是一般现在时态。该句的主语是Their research，所以谓语要用第三人称单数形式，故用suggests。
4．by 考查介词。大声朗读可以把记忆力最多提高15%。用by表示“增加了或者降低了……”。
5．participants 考查词性转换。科学家让95名参与者(participants)测试四种方法。
6．written 考查词性转换。written information “书面材料”。
7．higher 考查形容词的比较级。此处表示“在学习速度方面要高出15%”，所以用比较级。
8．what 考查宾语从句的连接词。连接词在宾语从句中作remember的宾语，所以用what。
9．a 考查冠词。have a higher likelihood of ... “更有可能……”。
10．reading 考查非谓语动词。“devote ... to ...”中的to是介词，后面接名词或者动词-ing形式。

1．at后加the 考查冠词。此处表示说话人都知道的事物，表特指，故在名词前需加定冠词the。
2．but→and 考查连词。此处是并列关系，不是转折关系。
3．him→them 考查代词。此处指代上文提到的grandparents，是复数名词，故用them。
4．invite→invited 考查动词的时态。由时间状语Last year可知，此处谓语动词用一般过去时。
5．when→where 考查定语从句的引导词。从句修饰先行词city，是指地点的名词，且引导词在从句中作状语，故用where。
6．happily→happy 考查形容词。在be动词后面用形容词作表语。
7．cities→city 考查名词。根据语境，作者和家人居住在一个城市，所以用单数。
8．late→later 考查副词。two weeks later “两周之后”。
9．去掉第一个for 考查介词。buy sb. sth.或者 buy sth. for sb.“为某人买东西”，此处for多余。
10．ask→asking 考查非谓语动词。此处ask和其逻辑主语They为主动关系，表示伴随，故用现在分词。
Ⅳ.书面表达

Dear_Tom，
I'm writing to ask you for advice, hoping that you will do me a favor.
As you know, participating in school societies will add pleasure to our school life. So every year we hold an activity, appealing to new members to join a variety of student societies. What I should do now is to put up attractive posters, to recruit new members to the English club.
I've been told that no one else can design a better poster than you. Would you please do me the favor to help design the poster? If you agree, I will come to your office at the time most convenient to you.
I'd appreciate it if you'd offer me a hand. Looking forward to your reply.

The Tellicherry Five—The Transportation of Michael Dwyer (Dublin, 1997), 183pp, 10.
Kieran Sheedy
The Tellicherry Five is a popular history which reads like stories; an interesting account of ordinary men and women who survived a period of unimaginable horror and whose final success came in the shape of their children who helped to shape the new land in Australia.
篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了四本不同的书，包括书名、作者、价格以及书中所描述的内容。
1．How many Euros will you spend if you want to buy two kinds of cheapest books mentioned?
A.10. B.25.
C.35. D.75.

4．Which book will be read if you want to know more about the history of Australia?
A．The Tellicherry Five
B．On the Verge of Want
C．Clara A Pictorial Record
D．A Walk Through Tullamore

economic adj. 经济的；经济学的 insight n. 洞察力，洞悉；眼光 unimaginable adj. 不可思议的；难以想象的
第二段第三句：Some 300 photographs are reproduced here in the form of a town album that will be treasured by the people of Clara and all who love their native place and its people.
译文：在这本书里，大约有300张照片以城市相册的形式被复制，这些照片将被克拉拉的人们以及所有热爱家乡和家乡的人们的人所珍视。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，that引导定语从句，修饰先行词photographs。从句中who又引导定语从句，修饰先行词all。
B
I had retired from my job as a senior letter carrier in Cleveland and had told my wife that I was going to take a year off. At the end of that year, she said, “Your year's up. What are you going to do？” The truth is that I didn't have any idea.
I happened to attend a community event and saw a table set up by Greater Cleveland Volunteers. They asked me, “Are you interested in tutoring children in public schools？” I thought: I've always been the one talking about what the teachers aren't doing and what the schools aren't doing, and what they need to do, so this was my chance to actually do something.
It had never occurred to me that I would like doing something like this. But I went in for an interview, and was accepted at last.
Now, this is my sixth year working three days a week, five hours a day. We help the children learn to read. Their teacher gives us an evaluation (评价) of where the students' weaknesses are, and we work on those areas. With the kindergartners, it's mostly ABCs. They can sing the ABC song but can't recognize the letters.
At the school I'm tutoring now, there are more than 40 kids. The ones who are lagging (落后) in those areas of literacy may get lost sometimes. Teachers don't have time to work with the individual students and get them up to the level with the rest of the kids, so we are a big help to them.
I was a complainer about poor schools, but I have found out they are doing the best they can with the resources that they have. And I get enjoyment from giving back and helping those who need help.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者退休后在克利夫兰公立学校当辅导教师的经历，从而对辅导教师角色有了新的认识。
5．What's the author's attitude toward the public schools before?
A．Dissatisfied. B．Respectful.
C．Uninterested. D．Approving.
答案：A 推理判断题。由第二段中的“I thought: I've always been the one talking about ... what they need to do”及最后一段第一句可推知，作者过去爱挑公立学校的毛病，对学校的表现不满意。
6．What's the children's weakness?
A．They easily get lost.
B．They don't know the letters.
C．They can't sing the ABC song well.
D．They have some trouble with learning.
答案：B 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“They can sing the ABC song but can't recognize the letters.”可知，孩子们的弱点在于不认识字母。
7．What does the author want to tell us by writing the text?
A．Change yourself by doing something special.
B．Raise people's awareness of education equality.
C．Do something useful to make your dream come true.
D．Stop complaining and take action to make a difference.
答案：D 推理判断题。从第二段中的“so this was my chance to actually do something”以及倒数第二段中的“so we are a big help to them”不难看出，作者写此文的目的是想告诉我们用实际行动来改变自己不满意的事物。
tutor vt. 教；任课；指导 occur to 突然想到…… literacy n. 读写能力
最后一段第一句：I was a complainer about poor schools, but I have found out they are doing the best they can with the resources that they have.
译文：我过去总是抱怨贫穷的学校，但我发现他们在利用他们拥有的资源，尽他们所能做到最好。
分析：这是一个并列复合句，but连接两个分句。在第二个分句中，found out后面是省略了that的宾语从句。在宾语从句中，they can是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词the best; that they have是定语从句，修饰先行词resources。

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
(2019·湖南师大附中模考)Don't get confused over application process
For many students who want to be admitted to an American university, the most difficult part about it isn't the classes themselves, but the application process. For example, the university application process is full of acronyms (缩写): EA(Early Action), ED(Early Decision), ED 2(Early Decision second deadline). __1__.
Early Action(EA)
Early Action is a great gift for the well－prepared student. __2__， typically Nov.1. The good thing is that students receive information of their acceptance, rejection or delay much earlier, with some in December but some not until the end of January. The best benefit is that EA is not binding (有约束力的), so students may apply to more than one school.
Early Decision(ED) and Early Decision second deadline(ED 2)
ED is simple. You apply early—typically by Nov.1—and you're informed early—typically by Dec. 24. If you're accepted, it's binding—you must go.
__3__. ED 2 is frequently used by students who applied ED elsewhere and were either rejected or delayed.
There are some disadvantages with Early Decision, however. Yes, the numbers can be very appealing. __4__. Early Decision applicants are frequently athletes, or development cases—where the family has donated a lot of money, etc.
The Early Decision choice is binding. Once students are accepted ED, they are asked to withdraw their applications from all other schools where they have applied. __5__.
A．Thus, ED is a big decision
B．Now a small number of universities have added an ED 2
C．To help you understand this, here's some information about them
D．Since it is binding, you are allowed to apply to only one college
E．Students must submit their complete application by an earlier deadline
F．But families need to understand that the applicant pool for ED is typically stronger
G．Students accepted are not required to inform the college of their decision until May 1
1．C 前文提到了几种容易引起困惑的申请流程，下文分别介绍并解析了这几种流程，所以该空应起到承上启下的作用，故选C。
2．E 本段主要介绍Early Action，且由该空后的日期可知E项符合语境。
3．B 根据标题Early Decision(ED) and Early Decision second deadline (ED 2) 可知，此处应介绍ED和ED 2，上一段介绍了ED，且该空后介绍的是ED 2，由此得知该空的内容应与ED 2有关，以引起下文，故B项符合语境。
4．F 空格前提到ED有一些缺点，但是录取的人数很诱人，而空格后指出ED的申请人多是运动员或保证会录取的。由此可知前后文是转折关系：虽然ED录取人数多，但申请者竞争力强。故选F。
5．A 根据本段的第一句话 “The Early Decision choice is binding.”可知，如果ED申请成功，就不能更改，所以ED是个重大的决定。
be admitted to 被录取 apply to 申请 withdraw v. 撤回；收回
最后一段第二句：Once students are accepted ED, they are asked to withdraw their applications from all other schools where they have applied.
译文：一旦学生通过ED申请被录取，他们就被要求从所有其他申请学校撤回申请。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，once引导条件状语从句。从句中where引导定语从句，修饰先行词schools。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Summer is almost here, and the weather is heating up. Are you drinking enough water? Many kids aren't, according to a new study.
The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, originally planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were consuming at school. However, during her research, she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water. Boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their systems. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings are significant because they highlight a potential health issue that hasn't been given a lot of attention in the past，” said Kenney. “Even though for most of these kids this isn't an immediate health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.”
How much is enough？
The human body is made up of 60% water. Not drinking enough water can lead to pathema,_such as headaches, poor physical performances, and even more serious issues. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you are physically active, and if you have a fever.
The United States National Agriculture Library says on average, kids need between 10～14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water.
Tips for Staying Hydrated
◆Carry a water bottle for easy access.
◆Choose water instead of other beverages when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.
◆Add a piece of lemon to your water. This may improve the taste, and you might drink more water than you usually do.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了孩子们身体缺水的危害，并提供了保持身体足够水量的方法和建议。
1.What did Erica Kenney want to study in the beginning？
A.What effect lacking water could have.
B.What made kids dislike drinking water.
C.How much sugary drinks kids had at school.
D.Whether kids had enjoyed healthy diet at school.
答案：C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“originally planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were consuming at school”可知，Erica Kenney最初是想调查孩子们在学校喝了多少含糖饮料。
2.What can we infer from Kenney's words？
A.Kids' health wasn't cared before.
B.Lacking water can be harmful to kids.
C.Her findings can't be more important.
D.Health is connected with the life quality.
答案：B 推理判断题。由第三段中的“this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and well-being for many children and youth”可知，缺水会影响孩子们的健康。
3.What does the underlined word “pathema” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean？
A.Thirst. B．Disease.
C.Disadvantages. D．Trouble.
答案：B 词义猜测题。由画线词后的“such as headaches, poor physical performances, and even more serious issues”可推测，pathema指“疾病”。
4.What are kids advised not to drink？
A.Beverages. B．Plain water.
C.Water from fruit. D．Water from vegetables.
答案：A 细节理解题。由Tips for Staying Hydrated中的“Choose water instead of other beverages when eating out.”可知，作者建议孩子们不喝饮料。
consume vt. 吃；喝；消耗；消费 highlight vt. 突出；强调 on average 平均
第三段第二句：Even though for most of these kids this isn't an immediate health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing the quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.
译文：即使对大多数孩子来说，这并不是直接的健康威胁，但这个问题确实会降低许多儿童和青少年的生活质量和健康。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，even though引导让步状语从句。主句中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词issue。

Reading is a skill that affects all parts of our daily life—from road signs to restaurant menus. And like most skills, it should be practiced every day. But it should also be fun, not a chore. Today some Shanghai teachers give us a means of getting better and having fun.
At Shanghai Community International School, students cozy (舒适) up with a good book with nursery teacher Jenna Lelievre. Every year, the SCIS Hongqiao ECE campus joins the celebration of International Literacy Day.
Every year, our SCIS Hongqiao ECE campus joins in on International Literacy Day, a global celebration of literacy and it's important to individuals, communities and societies.
Started in 1967, the International Literacy Day is a UNESCO—declared worldwide celebration of reading aimed at highlighting the importance of literacy, the ability to read and write.
This year, the day was September 8 and the theme was “Reading for the Future”. Students were allowed to leave their school uniform at home and come in dressed as their future jobs! Our youngest readers were also encouraged to bring in their favorite books to schools, which they then shared with classmates.
The day is a good reminder to stop and ask ourselves: Is there any skill we take more for granted than the ability to read? Road signs would be confusing; you couldn't order from a menu unless it had pictures. Not being able to read goes well beyond not being able to enjoy a good book, it has much bigger implications that influence all aspects of daily life. That's what I want our school community to think about when thinking about the Literacy Day.
So what can we do to celebrate this day? First of all, I think it's a good chance for us to be thankful that we have the ability to read and all of the advantages the skill has brought us. It's also a great idea to start making books and literature a regular part of your dinner conversations. Talk about how life would be different without books or the ability to read.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以上海一所学校庆祝读书日为例，说明读书对未来生活的重要性。
5.What can we infer about the students at Shanghai Community International School？
A.They were all capable of reading and writing.
B.They enjoyed celebrating reading worldwide.
C.They felt easy when reading with the teacher.
D.They could read road signs or restaurant menus.
答案：C 推理判断题。由第二段中的“students cozy (舒适) up with a good book with nursery teacher Jenna Lelievre”可知，他们与老师Jenna Lelievre在一起看书时，感到很放松、舒适。
6.Which of the following best explains “implications” underlined in Paragraph 6？
A.Effects. B．Results.
C.Impressions. D．Advantages.
答案：A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句可知，不识字远不止是不能欣赏一本好书，它还有更大的影响，影响到日常生活的方方面面。故此处画线词等同于effects，表示“影响”。
7.How did the school keep pace with this year's reading theme？
A.By setting September 8 as this year's reading day.
B.By sharing the favorite books with other classmates.
C.By highlighting the importance of literacy and ability.
D.By allowing students to be dressed as their future jobs.
答案：D 细节理解题。由第五段第一、二句可知，为了顺应今年的阅读主题，学校允许学生不穿校服，而是穿上自己未来的职业装进校。
8.What is probably the best title of this text？
A.Book: a real friend of your life
B.Theme: reading for your future
C.Reading: a vital tool for your life
D.Literacy Day: a day to be thankful
答案：C 标题判断题。文章开篇提到“不读书影响日常生活”，中间提到“为未来而读书”，结尾提到“没有书或阅读能力生活会有多么不同”。因此可以判断“阅读：生活的重要工具”最适合作文章标题。
reminder n. 引起回忆的事物 take sth. for granted 认为……是理所当然的事情 literature n. 文学；文献；著作
最后一段第二句：First of all, I think it's a good chance for us to be thankful that we have the ability to read and all of the advantages the skill has brought us.
译文：首先，我认为这是一个很好的机会，让我们感谢我们有阅读能力，感谢这种技能给我们带来的所有好处。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，think后面是省略了that的宾语从句。从句中thankful 后面的that引导宾语从句；the skill has brought us是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词advantages。
Ⅱ.语法填空
As a student, you should try the following tips in order to perform well in the classroom.
First, know your topic. To make __1__ effective presentation, you should be familiar with the topic. Forgetting what you say on the stage will damage the __2__ (perform) and lead to stage fright.
Then, mind your language. Your language should match the kind of presentation that you are doing. For example, if it's a well-known play, use the exact dialogs, __3__ if it's a puppet show, then see to it that the vocabulary __4__ (use) is in a comic tone instead of a serious one. The language makes a huge difference in a good presentation.
Last but not least, be __5__ (confidence). Have confidence, and you __6__ (get) higher marks. Practice your presentation a couple of times to deal with your fears about the stage and audience. __7__ (conduct) yourself on the stage with confidence is __8__ (certain) the key to success.
A presentation gives you an opportunity __9__ (show) your talents. It permits you to explore the potential within yourself. Presentation skills learned __10__ early childhood are always something that can help you achieve success in the future.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
1.an 考查冠词。make an effective presentation意为“做一次有效的演讲”。
2.performance 考查词性转换。冠词the后面的中心词应该用名词形式。
3.and 考查连词。and连接两个并列的句子，两个句子中都有if引导的条件状语从句。
4.used 考查非谓语动词。所使用的语言应该是戏剧性的而不应该是严肃的。动词use与所修饰的名词vocabulary构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词做后置定语。
5.confident 考查词性转换。在系动词be后面应该用形容词作表语。所以填confident。
6.will get 考查动词的时态。句意：有了信心，你将会取得好的成绩。表示将来的可能性，用一般将来时态。
7.Conducting 考查非谓语动词。此处在该句中作主语，所以用动名词形式。
8.certainly 考查词性转换。此处用副词certainly作状语，修饰整个句子。
9.to show 考查非谓语动词。opportunity to do sth. “做某事的机会”。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Throwing a plastic spoon or fork into the trash after using it once is fashionable. In India, about 120 billion pieces of plastic cutlery (餐具) end up in the garbage each year. But that may change soon thanks to Narayana Peesapaty, the founder of Bakey's, which transforms ordinary cutlery into delicious treats.
The company's first product is a spoon. Made of sorghum (高粱), rice and wheat flour, the spoon has a shelf life of up to three years and can be used for both eating and serving food. Thanks to its primary ingredient sorghum, the spoon is able to resist anything from hot soups to frozen desserts for about 15－20 minutes.
Tasting like sugar, the spoons are a delicious treat. However, even those who do not wish to consume the spoon won't feel sorry about throwing them away. That's because unlike plastic spoons, Bakey's spoons decompose (分解) within 5－6 days.
Apart from this, Peesapaty said that the reason for selecting sorghum was that the climate-smart hardy grain required fewer nutrients and water to grow. As a result, Bakey's spoons use far fewer resources than the more popular alternatives. Peesapaty said that as his product became more popular, he hoped to encourage more farmers to switch to growing sorghum instead of rice which requires 60 times the amount of water!
Peesapaty, who has sold over 1.5 million spoons since he started Bakey's in 2011, has two main challenges—bringing the production costs down so that the price of the spoons is as affordable as plastic spoons and also setting up an international distribution system so that they can be made available globally. The company also hopes to expand their offerings to additional cutlery items like forks and chopsticks.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。印度一家公司发明了可食用的餐具，人们可以在吃完饭后再把餐具吃掉。
1．What can we learn about the edible spoon from the passage?
A．It has been on sale for almost eight years.
B．It can resist anything for 5－6 minutes.
C．It can break down within 15－20 days.
D．It tastes sour and spicy.
答案：A 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知，可食用餐具是在2011年上市的，到现在为止大约八年了。
2．Sorghum is chosen as the main ingredient for the spoon because ________.
A．it is stronger
B．it is more energy-saving
C．it tastes better
D．it is easy to break down
答案：B 细节理解题。由第四段前两句可知，高粱成为备选材料的原因是它更节约资源。
3．What's Peesapaty's attitude towards the edible spoon?
A．Satisfied. B．Suspected.
C．Hopeful. D．Uncertain.
答案：C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，Peesapaty想在全球推广这种可食用勺，并制造可食用叉子和筷子。由此可推知，他们对可食用勺的前景是充满希望的。
4．What can we infer about the company from the last paragraph?
A．Its spoons have brought in great profits.
B．There is still a long way to go for it.
C．It determines to make forks and chopsticks.
D．Average people can't afford its products.
答案：B 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，Peesapaty的公司依然面临着两大挑战，故此公司任重而道远。
ingredient n. 原料；要素 resist v. 抵抗；忍耐，忍住 alternative n. 供替代的选择
第四段第三句：Peesapaty said that as his product became more popular, he hoped to encourage more farmers to switch to growing sorghum instead of rice which requires 60 times the amount of water!
译文：Peesapaty说，随着他的产品越来越受欢迎，他希望鼓励更多的农民转向种植高粱，而不是种植需要60倍水量的大米！
分析：这是一个复合句，said后面是that引导的宾语从句。在宾语从句中as引导时间状语从句；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词rice。60 times the amount of “60倍的……量”。

(2019·中央民族大学附中月考)Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿)? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic (同情的) and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a long-standing psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn't destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究结果表明：长寿不只是与身体健康有关，而且与心理健康紧密相连，乐观开朗的性格促成健康长寿。
5．The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is ________.
A．to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
B．to find out if one's lifestyle has any effect on their health
C．to see whether people's personality affects their life span
D．to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后三句可知，该期刊的研究目的是要发现性格是否会影响一个人的寿命，故选C。
6．What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A．They are more likely to get over hardship.
B．They are better at negotiating an agreement.
C．They generally appear more resourceful.
D．They have a good understanding of evolution.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times”可知，作者认为性格外向并有同情心的人更容易克服困难，故选A。
7．What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
A．Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.
B．Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.
C．Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.
D．Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old”可知，这项研究的发现中多少有些出乎人们意料的是自律等人格特征对长寿没有影响，故选D。
8．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?
A．Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one's life span.
B．Health is in large part related to one's lifestyle.
C．Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.
D．Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.”可知，长寿不仅与一个人的身体健康有关，而且与其心理健康也有很大关系，故选D。
moderate adj. 适度的；温和的 characteristics n. 特点；特征 evolutionary adj. 进化的
第二段第五句：Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old.
译文：比如，那些更自律的人也不再被认为可以活得更久。
分析：这是一个主从复合句。who引导定语从句，修饰those，for instance作插入语。

3．beneficial 考查词性转换。根据句意可知，此处在be动词后，用形容词作表语。

5．who 考查定语从句的引导词。先行词是those，指代人，定语从句中缺少主语，所以用who引导定语从句。
6．or 考查固定搭配。either ... or ... 是固定搭配，意为“或者……或者……”。

Vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring, a new study suggests.
The vitamin, produced naturally in the body when the skin comes into contact with sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.
Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease inflammation, redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons the body produces the chemical.
Now new research from Birmingham University has found it may also help combat (斗争) other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and less scarring.
Vitamin D has been found to help sunburn but decreases rapidly in the body when people have serious burns.
Professor Janet Lord of the Institute of Inflammation & Aging in Birmingham, at Birmingham University, said: “Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse outcomes in burn patients including life threatening infections, and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve outcomes for burn patients.”
Patients with severe burns are at high risk of infection. That may lead to life-threatening sepsis (脓毒症). Vitamin D is known to have antibacterial actions that may help combat infection and therefore aid in wound healing of burn patients.
The researchers say clinicians often overlook levels of vitamin D in burns victims. Prof Lord and her team now focus on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future. The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in more minor burn injuries.
Public Health England now recommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了维生素D药片可以帮助人们治疗烧伤而且不容易留下疤痕。
1．How is vitamin D naturally gained in the body according to the passage?
A．By preventing scarring.
B．By producing the chemical.
C．By helping protect against burning.
D．By being exposed to enough sunshine.
答案：D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The vitamin, produced naturally in the body when the skin comes into contact with sunshine”可知，维生素D的自然获取是通过与阳光接触，即晒太阳。
2．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．Severe burns. B．Burned patients.
C．Possible infection. D．Antibacterial actions.
答案：C 指代判断题。由本段第一句“Patients with severe burns are at high risk of infection.”可知，严重烧伤的病人会有感染的风险。故第二句意为感染会导致致命的脓毒症。
3．What can we infer about Professor Janet Lord's findings?
A．High vitamin D levels can speed wound healing.
B．Adding vitamin D back is really simple and secure.
C．They can prevent the rapid loss of vitamin D in patients.
D．The worse the burns are, the lower the patients' vitamin D level is.
答案：A 推理判断题。由第六段最后一句可推知，如果维生素D较高的情况下，烧伤应该愈合较快。
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Cause and Effect of Vitamin D Pills
B．Exploring the Function of Vitamin D Pills
C．The Research of Vitamin D Pills for Burns
D．Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns & Prevent Scarring
答案：D 标题判断题。文章主要介绍了维生素D药片可以帮助人们治疗烧伤而且不容易留下疤痕。
previous adj. 以前的，先前的 monitor vt. 监测，检测；监督 heal v. 长好，愈合；治愈
第八段第二句：Prof Lord and her team now focus on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.
译文：Lord教授和他的团队现在集中研究为什么病人烧伤后维生素D会迅速下降，希望他们将来能防止这种情况的发生。
分析：这是一个并列复合句，and连接两个并列分句。第一个分句中，why引导宾语从句，作find out的宾语；第二个分句中，that引导宾语从句，作动词hope的宾语。

What's the one thing every child wants at school? More recesses! And that is exactly what some schools are giving students, which turns out to be beneficial for everyone. Eagle Mountain Elementary School in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of four public schools carrying out the LiiNK program, a project that increases recesses per day to encourage creativity, develop character and promote academic success.
LiiNk was inspired by Scandinavian approaches to learning based on the simple concept of giving children more outside playtime and less time spent indoors. In Finland, where the system has been in place for decades, students have some of the highest scores on global assessment tests. Instead of spending increasing amounts of time inside the classroom, they are putting more and more focus on physical activity. Finnish kids get to enjoy 15 minutes of playtime for every hour of class.
After spending six weeks in Finland in 2012, Debbie Rhea, the creator of the LiiNk and professor at Texas Christian University, discovered that the additional breaks of “unstructured (松散的) outdoor play” actually helped students improve their performance inside the classroom. “You start putting 15 minutes of playtime into these kids frequently and it gives the platform for them to be able to fun_ction at their best level，” she says.
Other studies have shown that outdoor playtime decreases restlessness, tiredness and has a number of benefits such as improved motor skills, physical fitness, and social development. Debbie Rhea started adopting the program in private schools in 2014, and has since expanded her program to districts in Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Utah. All the children in these schools are all happier for it. It just goes to show that the best way to raise happy and successful children is to simply let them be kids every once in a while.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了LiiNK项目，该项目提倡给孩子更多的课外休息和娱乐时间，从而使他们在学业上表现得更好。
5．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “recesses” in Paragraph 1?
A．breaks B．burdens
C．performance D．tasks
答案：A 词义猜测题。通览全文可知，作者在文中主要讨论给孩子更多的课外休息时间，因此可知此处画线词与break意思相近。
6．What can we infer about the system of learning in Scandinavia?
A．It doesn't give students homework.
B．It lays great stress on physical labor.
C．It helps students perform well in tests.
D．It requires students to spend more time in the classroom.
答案：C 推理判断题。由第二段第二句可推知，这种学习方法能帮助学生在评价测试中表现优异。
7．Which of the following would Debbie Rhea probably agree with?
A．Playtime is beneficial to the students.
B．Kids need platforms to show their talents.
C．Playtime affects students' creativity directly.
D．Students should have more playtime at home.
答案：A 细节理解题。由第三段可知，Debbie Rhea认为额外的课外休息时间可以帮助学生提高课堂效率，并使他们发挥最好的水平。
8．What's the author's purpose of writing the text?
A．To reveal the finding of some studies.
B．To inform readers of the LiiNK program.
C．To introduce what Scandinavian approaches are.
D．To call on readers to pay more attention to education.
答案：B 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了LiiNK项目的有关情况。
assessment n. 评估；评价 additional adj. 额外的；附加的 restlessness n. 坐立不安；不安定
第一段第三句：And that is exactly what some schools are giving students, which turns out to be beneficial for everyone.
译文：这正是一些学校给学生提供的，这对每个人都是有益的。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，which引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句的整个内容。主句中what引导表语从句。

Dear_Jim，
I'm glad to hear from you, learning that you're interested in the program Family Rules, broadcast by CCTV recently. Now I'd like to share with you some information.
As is known, good family rules play an important part in building up our own personalities as well as our competence, which contributes a lot to a harmonious and prosperous society.
When it comes to my family rules, being honest and kind should be put in the first place. Without doubt, it has a lasting positive influence upon my mental development. At school, I devote myself to academic performance. Never have I cheated in exams. In addition, I'm always ready to offer help to whoever needs it. I'm proud of my family rules, which are worth practising all over my life.
What about you? Would you like to share your family rules with me? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li_Hua
