When most people think of California，they think of the beach and swimming or catching waves in the Pacific Ocean，but there is so much more to this western state than that.
Depending on where you go in California, you will experience different weather conditions, different cultures, different dialects and different foods.Northern California tends to be cooler and wetter as you get closer to Washington where as southern California is much hotter as you head towards Mexico.
California is like a big melting pot of cultures from the Latino community, to Native American Tribes to the other hundreds of nationalities that call California home. Depending on where you are travelling in California, you might feel as though you were in a different country all together. With all these different cultures and lifestyles living together, you have the opportunity to experience cuisine and customs from around.
From changes in climate to terrain (地形) to culture and customs, California is a melting pot that attracts hundreds of thousands visitors each year.Shopping, nature, nightlife and spa treatments are just a few of the activities that you can enjoy when you visit California.

译文参考
星期三，6月21日
在红木林里宿营和在纳帕谷参观完酒庄之后，今天是我返回旧金山的第一天。我不得不承认再次返回这座城市感觉真是太好了。这是一个多么棒的城市啊——一个在1906年发生地震之后能够重新自建的城市。有太多漂亮的老建筑物——好多都坐落在群山之上，(在建筑物里)可以欣赏城市，海洋和金门大桥的美景。
我住的宾馆在市中心附近，就在教会区，是这座城市最古老的一部分。生活在这里的很多人来自墨西哥或者中美洲。这个区过去是这个城市的贫民区，但是现在是艺术、音乐和美食的中心。事实上，一场被称作“教会学校”的艺术运动就从这里开始，它受到了涂鸦艺术和喜剧艺术的影响。我(欣赏着街边艺术)在大街上逛了几个钟头。它非常现代和生动。之后，我吃了一些餐车上的美味的墨西哥—中国面。这真是一场真正的文化大融合！
下午，我去了展示加里福尼亚历史变化的一家当地的博物馆。我了解到美国是在1848年从墨西哥手里夺得的加里福尼亚。同年，在旧金山附近发现了金矿，于是开始了一场淘金热。全球有三十多万人来这里寻求发财之路，于是旧金山迅速成为一座大城市，许多中国人也在那时来到这里。为了谋生，有些人在唐人街开了商店和餐馆。另外许多人有的在农场找到了工作，有的开始淘金或去修建铁路。这条铁路把加里福尼亚和美国的东部地区连在了一起。这家博物馆很好地向我们展示了来自不同国家和文化的移民是如何建设美国的。当这些移民离开自己的故土时她们把一些家的感觉也带到这里并且在这里建了新家。
今天晚上，我去了唐人街，那里有许多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可以选择，我选了一家广东餐馆，这家餐馆用精美的瓷盘呈上食物。食物真是太棒了。
今天就到这里吧，明天晚上我要去列治文区的爵士乐小酒吧，我等不及(想去)了！

Fascinating Venice
Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience.The city spreads out over 118 islands，which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.
Venice's historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge.The famous stone arch bridge crosses Venice's main waterway—the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside rabies by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St.Mark's Basilica, a must-see.Inside, beautiful mosaics(镶嵌图案) tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron，“I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge，their love will last forever.
In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe.Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city's museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.
On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (万花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.
The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.

“Dad, I need your help. Come here！” My 5-year-old girl pulled me towards the computer. “Dad, please buy everything I have in the Amazon shopping cart(购物车). Here, take this cash from my savings！” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130 dollars. “Wait！” I replied.“That's too much money! Why do you need all these things？”“Please, Dad！These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for everyone.No peeking(偷看)！” she explained, and I bought everything.
A couple of days later, she got everything.I saw her then wrapping(包装) all her gifts. “Can I help you？” I asked.“No, Dad.I told you these are special surprises. No peeking！” she replied.Her excitement was obvious.
The day came.She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging. Everything had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love.These were small items, but it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling.As she gave the gift to each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest reward.Her last gift was for my 2-year-old boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little boy's delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone's attention was focused on watching him go all around the house happily.
Seeing these acts of my 5-year-old helped me understand the power of giving—giving from the heart. Later that day, my girl received some gifts, but she didn't need them. She focused on others, not on herself.It was clear that she was the one feeling true joy.

Blowing bubbles is fun! The best thing about bubbles is that it's easy to make your own bubble solution (溶液). You can make as much as you want and blow as many bubbles as you'd like.If you add a “secret” ingredient(配料)，you'll get bigger and stronger bubbles! Do just as follows：
Measure 6 cups of water into one container, then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir it until the soap is mixed in. Try not to let bubbles from while you stir.
Measure 1 tablespoon of glycerin(甘油) or 1/4 cup of corn syrup(玉米糖浆) and add it to the container. Stir the solution until it is mixed together.
You can use the solution right away, but to make even better bubbles, put the lid on the container and let your super bubble solution sit overnight. The soap mixture on the outside of a bubble is actually made of three very thin layers: soap, water, and another layer of soap. A bubble pops when the water that is trapped between the layers of soap evaporates (蒸发). The glycerin or corn syrup mixes with the soap to make it thicker. The thicker skin of the bubbles keeps the water from evaporating as quickly，so they last longer. It also makes them stronger，so you can blow bigger bubbles.
Dip a bubble wand or straw into the mixture，slowly pull it out, wait a few seconds, and then blow. If you don't have a ready-made “bubble wand”， you can make your own by cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic pipet.Dip the cut end in solution and blow through the narrow end.You can also make a loop out of thin wire or pipe cleaner. Just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through. You can even make it heart-shaped，square or use other shapes if you're clever enough to bend it well.

Eating spicy foods frequently may be tied to a slightly lower risk of an earlier death，according to a new study.However，more research is needed to confirm the link，experts say.
The researchers found that the people in the study who ate spicy foods one or two days a week were 10 percent less likely to die during the study, compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week，according to the study published in the journal The BMJ. Moreover, the people in the study who ate spicy foods three or more days a week were 14 percent less likely to die during the study, compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week.
However，the study was observational, and so it is too early to tell whether there is a certain relationship between eating spicy foods and lower mortality,_said study author Lu Qi，an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts. “We definitely need more data from other populations，” Qi told Live Science.“The researchers don't know why exactly the consumption of spicy foods may be linked to the drop of early death, but previous research on cells and animals has suggested several possible connections，” Qi said.
“It is unclear whether the observed associations are the direct result of spicy foods intake, or whether spicy foods are simply a marker for other beneficial but unmeasured dietary components(成分)，” said Nita Forouhi，a nutritional expert. At this point, researchers don't know for sure whether eating spicy foods can have a beneficial effect on human health and mortality, Forouhi wrote.“Future research is needed to make sure whether spicy food consumption has the potential to improve health and reduce mortality directly, or if it is merely a marker of other dietary and lifestyle factors，” she said.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇科普类说明文。主要讲了新的研究发现经常吃辛辣食品可能有助于降低死亡率。

14．What does the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Death rate. B．Living cost.
C．Physical suffering. D．Energy requirement.
A [词义猜测题。由第二段研究结果可知，经常吃辛辣食品的人比不经常吃的人死亡的可能性要小。也就是研究的吃辛辣食品和死亡率的关系。 由此可猜测出“mortality”的意思是“死亡率”。 故选A。]
15．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Link between food and health.
B．Association between a certain food and health.
C．Connection between habits and health.
D．Relation between food and health.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
(2019·江西百所名校联考)We all know what it means when a nice envelope lands in your mailbox: Someone's getting married, and they' re hoping that you can be there for the big day. While saying yes to the invitation is a relatively straightforward process, things can get a bit awkward if you're not so sure about attending. 16 ．To help you get out of these formal engagements without feeling awkward，we've consulted Katie Balmer，a leading wedding expert in Scotland.
Follow the format.
The level of formality should be informed by the way that the invitation was sent. 17 ，you should decline via post. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing your regrets will do.
Don't put off your response.
If you already know that you can't make it for whatever reason，don't hesitate to let the happy couple know why. “It is very important to respond in good time. 18 ，” says Balmer.
19 ．
While it's a nice gesture to offer a reason for your refusal，there's no need to be extreme.A simple response will do，and it's an especially bad idea to emphasize your reason if it's cost-related.It will establish nothing beyond making the couple feel bad.
Don't change your decision.
20 ，it is important to stick to that decision.“Going back and forth only adds to the inconvenience for the soon-to-be newlyweds，” says Balmer. “As long as you are honest and timely, the bride and groom would understand.”
A．Make it up to the couple
B．Be brief in your explanation
C．If the offer was sent to you by mail
D．Do not leave it until the last possible moment
E．Once the decision not to attend the wedding has been decided
F．Otherwise，you risk adding to the couple's last-minute wedding stress
G．Turning down a wedding is a situation where you can feel very personal
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了拒绝婚礼邀请的几点注意事项。
16．G [根据上一句提到“如果你不确定参加的话，事情会变得有些尴尬”可推知，这里要表达拒绝婚礼邀请会怎么样。G项“拒绝婚礼邀请是一种让你觉得很私人的情况”符合语境。故选G。]
17．C [这一段标题是“遵循同一格式”。设空处后一句是其中一种假设，可推知该处也可能是一种假设。C项意思是：如果邀请是邮寄给你的，你应该通过邮寄来拒绝。放在此处符合语境。故选C。]
18．D [根据本段的标题“不要拖延你的回复”，以及设空处上文“如果确定自己无法参加，不要拖延，尽快地让对方知道”可知D项“不要把它留到最后一个可能的时刻”符合本段语境。故选D。]
19．B [根据本段中的“A simple response will do”可知本段是说“你的解释要简短”。故选B。]
20．E [根据标题“不要改变决定”，以及下文提到“来回反复会给新婚夫妇带来不便”可知此处是说“一旦决定不参加婚礼，重要的是要坚持这个决定”，因此E项符合语境。故选E。]

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was the closing time of the mall. But there was still an hour's work to get everything cleaned up. It would be 11：00 pm after I finally got home.
I hadn't even had time to have dinner. I was starving.My feet ached.My whole body, from head to foot, was filled with tiredness. I couldn't wait to crawl into bed.I had to get up at 5：00 am the next day.
Things had been tight for over a year. My husband Paul's business had taken a huge hit. Without me taking my second job, there wouldn't be enough money at the end of the month to pay the bills, let alone buy any Christmas presents for our 15-year-old daughter, Marie.No one wanted to wake up on Christmas morning with a bare tree.
Even so, I wondered how I could possibly handle everything—I work full-time at a day care, then I work nights at the mall, and somehow I do my homework for my college class, too. Not to mention what it was doing to my family.
I barely even saw Paul and my daughter anymore.Marie was growing up, but a teenage girl still needs her mom. I worried about her, about us.Was she eating enough? Keeping up with her school work?
I wasn't afraid of hard work or sacrifice (牺牲). Everyone had to dig deeper these days and put in extra hours. I knew I was blessed to have two jobs when millions of people couldn't find one.How I hoped to quit my job at the day care and complete a degree full-time.I'd dropped one class for a semester(学期). If I quit that, there was no way I'd find the willpower to try again.
Besides, wasn't I always telling Marie to keep hoping, keep working and never give up? What kind of example was I setting for my daughter? Suddenly, someone was banging hard at the back door of the mall. Then I went to the door and cautiously cracked it open... It was Marie.She had just finished babysitting.
Paragraph 1：
She smiled and held out a bag of food.__________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
I pulled her tight against me but the warmth，the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter._________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
She smiled and held out a bag of food.She thought I didn't have time for dinner, so she bought me a bag of food with her own money earned by babysitting and waited for me there all the time.While I was eating，she told me that I was her hero and she admired everything I was doing for the family. She said that when she was babysitting long hours or when she was tired of doing homework, she thought about my hard work and sacrifice. So she remembered to keep hoping, keep working and never give up.
Paragraph 2：
I pulled her tight against me but the warmth，the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter.Tomorrow the alarm would still ring at 5：00 a．m. The bills would still be waiting.There would be more rough days ahead.But I was ready to face them together with Paul and Marie.All of us were willing to work hard and hold on to each other. Things would get better with the love of a good family.

Year in year out, many high school graduates go to college to continue their education and pursue (追求) their lifelong dreams. College has many advantages for the later life.When I look back on the years I spent in college, I don't regret even a bit. As a matter of fact, I believe they were the most important years of my life.I came out of Saint Martin's College being a bright graduate, ready to take charge of my life and pursue all my dreams with a clear focus. Besides education, the kind of life I experience in college teaches me a lot about life outside school.
There are many differences between my pre-college years and the post-college years. To start with, I grew up in the countryside, so I was not used to talking with strangers. I was comfortable with my small world and could not see its changing.However, all this changed the day I stepped into Saint Martin's College.Though shy at first, I was amazed by my new surroundings; I met and communicated with people from all over the world.I made friends with students from other states and other countries. After four years in college, I was inclined to embrace (拥抱) the world.I didn't mind working in Asia or Africa for I was prepared.
College also prepared me well for employment, but I didn't even know what to pursue when in high school.Later I pursued a degree in business and I am working my way to being a CEO at the moment. The college really improved my chances of getting a job and my earning potential(潜力)．
I want to encourage everyone out there to pursue a higher education. Anyway, higher education helps us increase knowledge about life; it provides us with an insight into various opportunities in life and thus makes one achieve his/her goals.

The lives of these two women are featured in the documentary (纪录片), The Power of Clean Water, produced by Procter & Gamble (P&G) and National Geographic and screened in Singapore on World Water Day. The documentary shows the power of clean water to move people, women especially, beyond basic survival.

This program provides their Singapore-produced Purifier of Water product for communities throughout the world.It has delivered over 13 billion litres of clean water since 2004. The small P&G water purifier (净化器) can purify 10 litres of possibly deadly water in only 30 minutes, enough drinking water for a family of five for one day.
Jill Cress, chief marketing officer for National Geographic, said the documentary reflects the very real and powerful stories of people whose lives have been influenced by programs that provide access (途径) to clean drinking water. “At National Geographic, we believe that great storytelling can arouse curiosity and help solve big problems，” she said.

课时分层作业(九)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Two years ago, my friend Terry and I were living in our dormitory at our university. With his birthday approaching, he came to me with an unusual request. Instead of receiving presents and getting drunk (like most every other 21-year-old would), he wanted to do some acts of kindness. I was struck with such an idea.He told me about a TED talk he had watched online, which had inspired him.
Our university is not located in the safest area in Los Angeles. In fact, its location is so unsafe that the school employs the second largest private legal militia (民兵队伍) in the United States to protect its students. They have to work around the clock, standing on street corners throughout the university keeping watch. It's a thankless job as most students grow used to seeing officers all around and finally hardly even notice their presence.
How could we show them our appreciation? We rented a truck and asked its driver to drive us around the place where we knew the officers would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.The truck driver was a bit hesitant (犹豫的) about our plan at first but after a while he was helping us spot officers and our lively spirits had spread to him as well. Smiles and appreciative words from the officers impressed us a lot. Soon they were talking about us over their radio and we were the ones being spotted and called over. Finally, the hot chocolate seemed secondary (次要的) to their interest in meeting us, the two boys that went around with hot chocolate expecting to share some late-night laughter. It was amazing to see how a small simple act can lift everyone's spirits.
【语篇解读】 本文语篇类型是记叙文，主题语境是学校生活。Terry过21岁生日时没有像大多数同龄人那样收礼物，开派对。取而代之的是，他通过善举在给他人带来快乐的同时也让自己收获了快乐。

D．Other 21-year-olds' birthday celebrations.
A [细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Terry生日善举的灵感来自于自己观看的一个TED talk的网络视频。]
2．What do most students think of the officers?
A．They feel frightened to see the officers around.
B．They seldom appreciate the officers' hard work.
C．They are not used to being watched by the officers.
D．They don't think the officers perform their duty well.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，许多学生对时刻坚守岗位，保证学生安全的民兵们已经习以为常，甚至很少注意到这些辛勤付出的人们。由此可推知，大多数学生很少对民兵的辛劳表示感谢。]
3．How did the truck driver respond to the idea at first?
A．He was struck with the idea.
B．He was strongly against the idea.
C．He was unwilling to accept the idea.
D．He couldn't wait to join the two boys.
C [细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话可知，卡车司机起初对于他们的计划有些犹豫，过了一段时间之后才在两个人的感染之下积极加入了其中。]

B．A unique birthday request
C．Importance of school safety
D．Lovely officers around the school
B [主旨大意题。文章在第一段提出Terry在自己21岁生日即将来临之际，有了一个特别的请求——通过一些善举来庆祝自己的生日。下文围绕该主题展开，故最佳标题为B项。]

A [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Radha的妈妈认为芒果树可以陪伴Radha成长，这符合了Radha对新朋友的要求(一直陪着她)，而且芒果树可以结果实，还可以提供庇荫处，对Radha有好处。]

Ⅱ.读后续写
The knock at the front door announced that there was a visitor. Mr. Radcliffe and his wife Molly had lived in this community for almost three decades and the families all knew one another so that the youngsters often bounced from home to home looking for friends and entertainment.
Even Radcliffe and Molly were regularly visited and, since all the parents knew and trusted each other, sometimes the youngsters would come in for a time.In the school holidays, Molly and Phil had even been known to take a couple of the children at a time to the local cinema to give their neighbors a break.
The knocking was repeated.It was probably one of the kids. Mr. Radcliffe opened the door, looked down, and found a small boy of about 10, head down and face hidden, nose sniffling, obviously in trouble.
“Come in，” he gestured.“Take a seat in the living room. I'll be with you in a minute.I just need to get my glasses.” He sped up the stairs, ran into the bedroom, and picked up his glasses from the bedside cabinet.
“Now then，” Mr. Radcliffe asked as he walked into the living room. “Philip, what's all this about? Are you alright？”
The boy seemed perfectly relaxed about the appellation (名称). “Sorry, Mr. Radcliffe，” he sobbed.“My father's just left home. He's not going to live with us anymore.Mum's crying.It's made me cry. I don't think I'm going to see him again.”
For Mr. Radcliffe, this news reminded him of lots of his own memories. When his father had walked out, his young life had crashed.And over the years, a series of figures had provided him with the sort of paternal support that he would have had from a father in residence: his favorite teacher who was always willing to talk to him in the schoolyard; his tutor when he eventually made it to a university; a line manager who built up his confidence and gave him his first promotion (升职)．
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Phil understood exactly how the boy was feeling.
Paragraph 2：
Young Philip was obviously happy with what Mr.Radcliffe said.
【参考答案】
Paragraph 1：
Phil understood exactly how the boy was feeling.He sat down and put a comforting arm around the small boy's shoulders and said, “I'm sure you'll see your father again very soon, Philip. You're a lovely boy and he'll want to see you a lot. Your uncle is as mad about your football team as you and he'll take you to matches. And your teachers will understand if sometimes you're a bit sad.There will be lots of figures who will provide much support for you.”
Paragraph 2：
Young Philip was obviously happy with what Mr. Radcliffe said. He looked up at his friendly neighbor and said, “Thank you very much, Mr. Radcliffe. I feel a bit better now. Can I call you again sometime？” “Of course，” Mr. Radcliffe assured him. “Come and talk whenever you like.Molly and I love seeing you and your friends. Whenever you want me, I'll be there.Whatever happens, I promise you that I'll be your friend as long as you live，” said Mr. Radcliffe.
