Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，and getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.For some jobs，it is the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that a serious dialogue may start a riot.For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance that people in any other forum.
Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating (升级) into a big deal.Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport.Airborne，he felt miserable，and he knew she did，too.Two hours after she returned home，she received a long-distance phone call.“Person-to-person for Mrs.I.A.Pologize.” intoned the operator.“That’s spelled ‘P’ as in...” In a twinkling (眨眼间)，the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire.
An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist (赞助) in a major charity drive.Austerity was a fashion in England at the time，and she had asked her children to serve the meal.She knew that anything could happen...and it did，just as her son，with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker，brought in a large roast turkey；he successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door，but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor.
The boy stood rooted，the guests staring at their plates.Moving only her head the hostess looked at her son，“No harm，Daniel”，she said，“just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen”．..she enunciated(发音) clearly so he would think about what she was saying...“and bring in the other one.”
A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a laughter.

I don’t think I can recall a time when I wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia，I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay，I_suddenly_had_the_feeling_of_not_being_able_to_feel_the_ground_with_my_feet_anymore.
For my 10th birthday，my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors，caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia’s Coral Sea was protected，I was shocked.Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly，only 45% of the world’s reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing，so it’s important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action.I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity，which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever.
Together，Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy，who grew up sailing，admiring the beauty of the ocean，and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch，and Gates is going on and on about computer technology.“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades，you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8，and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour，” says Gates.“Or，you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas.In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.Why haven’t you guys kept up？”
The president of GM smiles and says，“Because the federal government won’t let us build cars that crash four times a day.”
Why is that funny (or not funny，as the case may be)？Human beings love to laugh，and the average adult laughs 17 times a day.Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter.Jokes，sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing，because laughing feels good.For us it seems so natural，but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs.Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.
Laughter is a great thing－that’s why we’ve all heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease.In this article，we’ll look at laughter－what it is，what happens in our brains when we laugh，what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier.You’ll also learn that there’s a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
How many times have you laughed today？Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh？In the whole animal kingdom，only we humans are capable(有能力的 ) of laughter.On average，we laugh about 17 times a day.
Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to something funny or pleasant.Have you noticed that when you laugh，many parts of your body respond(反应)？Your face changes expression，your breathing changes，and muscles throughout your body are affected.
An interesting story dates back to 1962.In a school in Tanganyika，in Africa，a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke.This laughter became epidemic(传染的)，jumping from one person to the next，spreading across communities，and lasting for six months！So strong was the “laughter epidemic” that schools had to shut down till it ended.
How we laugh remains a mystery.Whatever the reasons，as the saying goes，“laughter is the best medicine.” In fact，science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.
Laughing exercises all the important muscles，and keeps you fit.People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses.They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together.Laughter spreads，so this exercise works best in groups；once one person starts laughing，others automatically(自动地) join in.

Things successful people do before sleep
Read.Reading is the very last thing that most successful people do before going to sleep.__1__Many successful people find value in being browsers (浏览者) of information from a variety of sources，believing it helps fuel greater creativity and passion in their lives.
Reflect on the day.__2__They think of three things they are appreciative of that happened that day.Keeping a gratitude diary also reminds people of the progress they made that day in any aspect of their life，which in turn serves as a key way to stay motivated.
Disconnect from work.__3__They don’t always check their email，and they try not to think of work-related issues.Give yourself a buffer period (缓冲时间) between the time you read your last email and the time you go to bed.The idea is to get your head out of work before you lie down to go to sleep.
Plan out sleep.__4__One habit many successful people have is to get enough sleep first－which can be a challenge for workaholics (工作狂 ) or businessmen.One way to do that is to go to bed at a consistent time each evening.
Picture tomorrow’s success.Many successful people take a few minutes before bed to imagine a positive outcome unfolding for the projects they’re working on.__5__For most，this is not a task or exercise；it is the confidence that comes naturally.
A．They look forward to the future.
B．It’s a great way to relax your body and quiet your mind.
C．Successful people spare time just before bed for reading.
D．Remember to take some time to reflect on the positive moments.
E．Truly successful people do anything but work right before bed.
F．Many successful people take the time just before bed to look back.
G．Much has been written about the dangers facing those busy people who always lack sleep.

答案 E
4．解析 根据下文“One habit many successful people have is to get enough sleep first－which can be a challenge for workaholics or businessmen.”可推知，很多文章都讲了因为工作繁忙而总缺少睡眠的危险。

Living in China is a wonderful thing，and I’m sure you’ll soon fit in.The Chinese food is quite different from yours.Besides，most people here like drinking tea instead of coffee.And we use chopsticks while having dinner，which is another difference.Chinese people are very friendly and easy-going，so it’ll be easy for you to make friends with your classmates and the local people.Communicating with them is the best way to learn Chinese and Chinese culture.
In a word，I’Il try my best to help you settle in and make you feel at home.

课件32张PPT。Section Ⅳ Grammar & Writing【考点1】 动词-ing形式作表语
1．动词-ing形式作表语，有形容词的性质，说明主语的性质、特征等，这时通常可以看作是形容词，不可与主语的位置调换。
The argument is very convincing.
这个论点很令人信服。
The story she told us was very interesting.
她给我们讲的故事很有趣。特别提示 作表语用的动词-ing形式，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有：moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，inspiring，boring，surprising，puzzling，amusing，astonishing(这类分词表示“令人……的”的含义)。2．动词-ing作表语可表示抽象性或习惯性的动作，一般说明主语的内容，此时表语和主语常可互换位置。
My hobby is collecting stamps.我的爱好是集邮。
(＝Collecting stamps is my hobby.集邮是我的爱好。)【考点2】 动词-ing形式作定语
1．表示名词的属性或作用及用途。
We are not allowed to speak aloud in the reading room.
阅览室不准我们大声说话。
There is a swimming pool in our school.
我们学校有一个游泳池。
2．表示所修饰的名词的动作或状态，相当于一个定语从句。特别提示 当分词单独作定语时，放在所修饰的名词前；如果是分词短语作定语，则放在该名词后。
The boy studying in the classroom is our monitor.
在教室学习的男孩是我们的班长。
We’ll have an exam in the coming week.
下周我们将进行一次考试。特别提示 在下列情况中不能用动词的-ing形式作定语，必须使用定语从句。
(1)作定语的v.-ing形式表示的动作与主句谓语的动作不是同时发生，要使用定语从句。例如：
The professor coming here yesterday will give us a lecture.(×)
The professor who came here yesterday will give us a lecture.(√)
昨天来的教授将给我们讲课。(2)动词的-ing形式的完成式一般只用来作状语，不作定语。例如：
The temple having been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.(×)
The temple which has been destroyed by the earthquake will be rebuilt soon.(√)
被地震毁坏的庙宇很快就要重建了。【考点3】 动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语
动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语时，与宾语之间是主谓关系，即宾语是其逻辑上的主语。它主要用于以下两类动词后作宾语补足语。
1．表示感觉和心理状态的动词，如see，hear，feel，smell，watch，find，listen to，look at，notice，observe等。例如：
I felt the house shaking.
我觉得房子在晃。
I found a beggar standing at the door.
我发现一个乞丐站在门口。特别提示 在see，hear，feel，watch等感官动词后，既可用动词的- ing形式作宾语补足语，也可用省略to的不定式作宾语补足语。用动词的-ing形式时，表示动作正在进行，用省略了to的不定式时，表示动作从开始到结束的全过程。I saw him run across the road.
我看到他跑过了马路。(强调整个过程)
I saw him running across the road.
我看见他正跑过马路。(强调正在进行)
2．表示“指使”等意义的动词，如have，set，keep，leave，get等。
Don’t keep the water running.

[解析] 句意：中国的餐饮连锁店沙县小吃于2018年10月21日在美国开了第一家餐馆，但在……。本题考查非谓语动词作定语。被修饰词China’s restaurant chain与serve为逻辑上的主动关系且设空处表示正在进行，需用现在分词，故填serving。
[答案] serving[典例2] Suddenly，I felt someone________(move) my luggage.
[解析] 本题考查非谓语动词作宾补。feel sb.doing sth.“感觉某人正在做某事”。
[答案] moving[典例3] The research produced some________
(interest) findings.
[解析] 句意：该项研究产生了一些有趣的发现。设空处用形容词作定语，故填interesting。

[解析] 句意：昨天夜里有数百万人在电视上观看了开幕式的现场直播。本题考查非谓语动词作定语。被修饰词people与watch之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故答案为watching。
[答案] watching故事性短文属于记叙文文体，或称之为故事性记叙文。在写此类文章时要做到以下几点：
第一，要把握住记叙文的六个要素，即时间(when)，地点(where)，人物(who)，事件(what)，原因(why)和过程(how)。把握好这六个要素，写故事性记叙文就成功了一半。如何写故事性短文第二，要把握故事性记叙文的结构。在文章开头要交代故事发生的时间、地点和人物，然后写事件的原因及发展过程，最后写结果，同时在结尾处要尽量自然，点明文章主题。并且要有一条线索贯穿全文，使整个文章融为一体。
第三，要把握好人称。在写此类文章时通常用第一人称或第三人称。第四，要注意时态的运用。在故事写作过程中，一般用过去时态。在描写背景或景象时，常用过去进行时，这样显得更加形象生动。
第五，要润色简单句，增加过渡性词汇，使文章前后通顺自然，成为一个有机整体。
第六，幽默类故事要寓意明确，结尾一般应点题，体现故事的戏剧性或讽刺性。【常用表达】

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and most widely loved silent movie (无声电影) stars.From Easy Street (1917) to Modern Times (1936)，he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time.He was best known for his character “the little tramp”．It is this kind-hearted character that we connect with the time of silent movies.Born in London in 1889，Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907.Appearing as Billy in the play Sherlock Holmes，young Chaplin toured the country twice.On his second tour，he met Mack Sennett and was signed(签署) to Keystone Studios to act in films.Chaplin was known as one of the most demanding men in Hollywood.He performed lots of comedies(喜剧) in his lifetime.No matter how big or small the size of the part，Chaplin walked each actor through every scene.Chaplin knew that a successful scene wasn’t simply about the star，but about everyone on the screen.He required that all the actors and actresses work together in every performance.The only way to achieve that unity(团结) was to keep complete control over every scene.As he became more popular，he used more and more original and difficult filming techniques.Movies such as his 1925 hit，The Gold Rush，required unending reworking of scenes and rebuilding of sets.Though Chaplin was of the silent movie era，his achievements were carried over into the films of today.His rigor(严谨) and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new and more wonderful cinema. Read the passage and tell which of the following statements is true (T) or false (F).
1．Charlie Chaplin was the best silent movie star.( )
2．When Chaplin was ten years old，he went to America for the first time.( )
3．Chaplin’s rigor and concern for the processes of acting and directing led to his great success.( )

1．恰当选用“贴切、地道的高级词汇”。
从书面表达的评分标准可知，运用高级词汇对提高书面表达的“档次”和得分至关重要。通过构词法变化来的新词、使用同(近)义词或反义词来代替常见的词语是选用恰当词汇的有效途径。如下表所列近义词，用高级词汇代替普通词汇，会取得比较好的效果。2.使用连词、连接副词等连接句子，使文章逻辑性强，结构紧凑，层次清晰，意义贯通。
The reason why I choose the second picture is，firstly，that the reading festival is initially meant for students，...Secondly，the picture demonstrates that group discussion，an important reading pattern the committee always calls for，will be...Lastly，as reading festival offers a good chance for students to get acquainted with different friends，this picture correctly conveys the purpose...3．运用高级句式，增强书面表达的得分点。独立主格结构、特殊句式、名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句、非谓语动词等都属于较复杂的“语法结构”。这些结构的正确、交替使用，可以使文章的语言充满层次感，从而较好地反映作者的语言运用能力。此外，正确使用一些谚语也能给文章增色不少。如：The first reason why I like it is its green colour.In spring days，everything comes out.While you are walking outside，your eyes will be filled with green，especially when you are in the countryside where you can see green mountains，vast fields，clean streams，and all the living creatures coexisting in harmony.
