Good morning, my dear classmates.Today I'd like to tell you something about my diet.I usually eat three meals a day.Many students don't like having breakfast because they don't consider it to be important.I learned that having breakfast is important on TV when I was just about ten years old.So I have breakfast every day.I usually have bread, eggs and milk for breakfast.I also have an apple, a banana or a pear.It is very easy to prepare and I usually prepare it myself.
I usually have lunch at school as you do.Some students just eat what they like and throw away the food they dislike.But I don't do that.I know it's important to eat different kinds of food.Also, we're wasting food if we throw away the food we don't like.We should always keep in mind that many children in poor countries are suffering from hunger.
I always eat at home with my family in the evening.My mother usually leaves work at around 5：00 pm.She gets home and starts to prepare supper at about 5：30 pm.My mother knows the importance of healthy eating, so she makes sure we eat healthily every day.She often cooks some vegetables, such as cabbage and carrots.We don't eat much pork or beef.Instead, we eat chicken, duck and fish frequently.
That's all.Thank you.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“However，rain will push into the northwest during the early hours，turning heavy at times.”和第三段“Rain，locally heavy，will continue southwestwards through the day with strong winds.”可知，今晚天气和周五天气的共同之处是都会下大雨。
22．From Saturday to Monday，it may be rainy in the D.
A．east B．west
C．south D．north
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Rain across central parts on Saturday will ease and move northwards.”可知，周六至周日北部地区可能会有雨。
23．Which part of Britain may have little rain in the second half of April？C
A．The southeastern areas. B．The northeastern areas.

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I'm just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”
“Oh，sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That's pretty creative. Who does that for you？”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really—at night, when you're asleep？”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”
文章大意：作者五年前在一个学期开始用Tinkertoys来更多的了解学生，想以此来激发学生勇于创造，大胆想象。
24．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to A.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students' interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“...I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.”可知，这位老师在学期开始时给学生布置这个任务目的是了解这些学生。故选A项。
25．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？D
A．He liked to help his teacher.
B．He preferred to study alone.
C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段可以得知，这个男孩组装好的玩具堆满了美术教室的一个架子，家里的卧室也被占了相当大的地方。“我”为能有这样一位有创造力的学生而倍感欣慰。他的存在意味着“我”的课堂上有了一位意想不到的教学助手，他的创造力会感染其他学生，让他们也参与进来。由此可以看出这个男孩是有创造力、有想象力的。故选择D项。
26．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？B
A．Mistake.　　　　　　　　 B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty. D．Burden.
解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知，鼓励孩子有这种想象力也会有不利的一面。要冒一定的风险，可能会失去那些有不同思维方式的学生。必定有人会说“我就是没有创造力”。因此可以看出此段重在介绍上述这种做法存在的弊端。因此B项正确。
27．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？A
A．To help them to see their creativity.
B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.
解析：推理判断题。文章第四段最后一句“But I'm just not creative.”引出下文师生间的对话，根据文章最后一句“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”可以看出，老师以孩子晚上做的梦引出白天课堂上要勇于尝试，大胆想象。因此A项正确。
C
Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago.He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made.The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical(数学)problem.He could not figure it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However，Halley had a friend named Newton，who was a brilliant mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem，but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆)．
Now Halley set to work.He figured out (解决；计算出) the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531,1607，and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley.The different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it，the more he thought that there had not been three different comets，as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea！Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction (预言) of what comet would happen in the future.He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it，for he had died some years before.Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet，in his honor.
文章大意：本文主要讲了哈雷和他的重大发现。
28．Halley made his discovery C.
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the work of other scientists
D．by chance
解析：细节理解题。由文中第三段“He figured out (解决；计算出) the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531,1607，and 1682 all had the same orbit.”可知应选C。
29．Halley made a surprising，but correct prediction in the year
B.
A．1704 B．1705
C．1706 D．1707
解析：数字计算题。第五段中的“He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.”这句话告诉我们：他预言彗星出现的时间是1758年，而这个预言还要经过53年才能验证，由此可以推断出哈雷做出这个预言的时间是1705年。
30．This passage in general is about D.
A．Halley and other scientists
B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley
D．Halley and his discovery
解析：主旨大意题。文章的中心就是哈雷以及他的发现。
31．Which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist.
B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C．Newton was a famous mathematician.
D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.
解析：推理判断题。从文章首句可以看出A项错误；从第三段可知B项也错误；牛顿告诉哈雷彗星的轨道是椭圆形的，可排除D。
D
An American astronaut is beginning a year-long trip in space.NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly is traveling to the International Space Station for the second time.Mr Kelly says that this time in space would present a greater challenge than his first visit.
Most visits to the space station last just four to six months. Scott Kelly will be there a year.Researchers hope this longer stay will teach them more about how the human body reacts to long periods of space flight.
Astronaut Kelly's mental and physical health will be closely watched during his ISS visit and after his return.He also presents NASA with a unique study situation.Researchers will be able to compare medical information from Astronaut Kelly with that from his identical twin (同卵双生) brother，former astronaut Mark Kelly.
One main focus will be on the bacteria that live in the human digestive(消化的) system.Mr Kundrot says comparisons could be interesting because the twins will be eating very different food in the year ahead.He says Scott Kelly's diet in space will be very limited and sterile (无菌的)．
John Charles is also a NASA scientist with the Human Research Program.He says it has been almost twenty years since someone spent so long in space.He says technology has developed a lot since that team of Russians spent a year in space.
“We are not going to be surprised by surprises.We were surprised several years ago by finding that certain astronauts have changes in their vision during long-duration space flight about halfway through a six-month mission.”
Another area of interest is the effect of radiation on the human body.This would be even more intense for astronauts on a three-year mission to Mars.NASA scientists think research collected from Scott Kelly's one-year space trip will be important to pave the way for a future piloted flight to Mars.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一位美国宇航员要进行长达一年的太空旅行，这是一次非常严峻的挑战。
32．How long do most astronauts stay in the space？C
A．One year. B．Twenty years.
C．Four to six months. D．Three years.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Most visits to the space station last just four to six months.”可知C为正确选项。
33．A unique study situation refers to A.
A．comparing medical information from Astronaut Kelly with that from his identical twin brother
B．the astronaut will stay in space for one year
C．the astronaut will explore Mars
D．Scott Kelly is traveling to the International Space Station for the second time
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He also presents NASA with a unique study situation...compare medical information from Astronaut Kelly with that from his identical twin (同卵双生) brother...”可知A为正确选项。
34．What is the focus of the research？C
A．Gravity.
B．Weightlessness.
C．The bacteria that live in the human digestive system.
D．Radiation.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句可知C为正确选项。
35．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Researchers will only pay attention to Kelly's physical health.
B．There will be some bacteria in Kelly's diet.
C．Astronauts' vision won't change during long-duration space flights.
D．Kelly's one-year space trip will be beneficial to flight to Mars.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句中“pave the way for a future piloted flight to Mars”可知D为正确选项。
第二节(共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分)

(2019·北京平谷五中高一下学期期中考试)
Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.36.C.That is a risk.But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we've all been victims (受害者) of betrayal(背叛)．Whether we've been suffer from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.37.G.It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
●38.B Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well－being.
●39.D If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your surroundings.But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “Victim mentality”．At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or broken.
●You didn't lose “everything”．Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40.E Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
B．Learn to really trust yourself.
C．It is putting confidence in someone.
D．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
E．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。信任是我们从过去的经验中获得的一种后天习得的行为，我们要如何在一段关系中再次建立信任，本文给出几条建议。
36．解析：第一句“Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.(信任是我们从以往经历中获得的习得行为。)”是对trust的解释。选项C中的it指代上文出现的trust，并且继续解释 trust的含义“putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任)”，故选C项。选项C与第一句为顺承关系。
37．解析：选项G与上文能形成因果关系。“They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.(他们曾经受过严重伤害，不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)”是上一句“Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.(有时候人们就是不能再信任别人。)”的原因。并且与下一句“It's understandable...(这是可以理解的……)”有顺承关系。故G项切题。
38．解析：空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。并且选项B.“Learn to really trust yourself.(学会真正信任你自己。)”与空格后的“Having confidence in yourself”形成同义复现。trust yourself相当于have confidence in yourself。故B项切题。
39．解析：空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。下文中“If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance.But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a ‘victim mentality’．”(如果你遭遇了背叛，那么你就成为客观环境的受害者。但是成为受害者与以“受害者的心态”活着是有区别的。)”反复出现victim 一词，而选项D中的关键词也为victim，形成原词复现。选项D.“Stop regarding yourself as the victim.(不要把自己当作受害者。)”起到总起本段的作用。故D项切题。
40．解析：E项“Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.(看到事情的积极方面并不意味着你对发生的事情视而不见。)”与下一句“Instead, it's a healthy way...for positive...(相反，这是一个健康的方式……)”形成转折关系。并且选项中的positive与下文的positive形成原词复现。故E项切题。
第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节；满分45分)
第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

His boss said, “You're 46.C to leave the office early today.”
The scientist started working. He 47.A his work after having lunch. 48.C,_he had such a heavy work load that he looked at his 49.B only when he felt he was about to 50.D the work. The time was 8：30 pm. 51.A,_he remembered the promise he had 52.C. He hurriedly left the office, feeling 53.D to have disappointed the ones he loved so much. He got home, but only his wife was in.

His wife 54.B,_“You don't know? Your boss came here at 5：15 pm and took them to the exhibition.”
What had really happened was like this. The boss noticed him working 55.D at 5：00 pm. He thought to himself, “This person will not 56.B the work. But if he has promised his children, they should enjoy the 57.C to the exhibition.” So he offered to take them to the exhibition.
The boss does not have to do it 58.A,_but once it is done, loyalty (忠诚) is set up. That is why all those scientists continued to work 59.C him even though the work was too 60.D.
文章大意：大约70位科学家从事一个项目，由于工作压力和老板的需要，他们真得很累，但他们没有想过停止工作。这是为什么呢？

Everyone knew that Ann was 61.a famous writer, but no one knew 62.where she came from and 63.whether she was born in 1961 was still a mystery. What they did know was that she was loved by poor people because she always helped whoever was 64.in need of money. Ann was generous and 65.helpful(help), but some people thought she was seeking 66.fame (famous). Ann said she didn't understand 67.why they were so narrow-68.minded (mind), but it didn't matter what other people thought of her. She just wanted to do 69.what she thought was right.
I think that is 70.where the meaning of life lies.
文章大意：Ann是一个著名的作家，她的出生地、出生时间是个谜，她无私地帮助别人，受到人们尤其是穷人的喜爱。
61．解析：考查冠词。一个著名的作家，不定冠词表泛指。
62．解析：考查宾语从句。没有人知道她来自哪里。where引导宾语从句，作knew的宾语。
63．解析：考查主语从句。她是否出生于1961年仍然是个谜。whether引导主语从句。
64．解析：考查介词。in need of“需要”。
65．解析：考查形容词。and连接并列成分，前面是generous，所以应填形容词。
66．解析：考查名词。seek fame“追求名誉”。
67．解析：考查宾语从句。她不理解为什么他们如此狭隘。why引导宾语从句，作understand的宾语。
68．解析：考查形容词。narrow-minded“思想狭隘的”。
69．解析：考查宾语从句。她只是做了她认为正确的事。she thought是插入语，what引导宾语从句，作do的宾语，在从句中作主语。
