A
1976:Tangshan,China
China has had the second deadliest earthquake on record,the 1976 Great Tangshan Earthquake,which happened in the country’s northeast.It’d be more accurate(精确) to call this a double quake:an aftershock that happened 16 hours after the original earthquake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale (里氏震级) and was equally destructive.
2004:Indian Ocean Tsunami(印尼海啸)
On December 26,2004,a 9.2 magnitude earthquake rocked the bottom of the Indian Ocean,releasing energy equal to that of 23,000 atomic bombs.The largest earthquake in 40 years,the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake caused a tsunami across the Indian Ocean,sending a series of waves as high as 50 feet crashing onto the shores of 11 countries.Some people were swept out to sea while others drowned in their homes,unable to escape.According to the US geological survey,the official death toll was 227,898.
2008:Sichuan earthquake,China
The 7.9-magnitude disaster struck the mountainous Sichuan Province in western China,destroying millions of buildings and causing $86 billion damage.Nearly 10,000 children died in schools —trapped under rubble(瓦砾) when the buildings fell down.
2011:Tōhoku earthquake,Japan
The 2011 earthquake and tsunami swept the Japanese mainland and killed more than 16,000 people and over 2,500 people were reported missing.More than 470,000 were displaced from their homes.The 9.0—9.1-magnitude disaster was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan,and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
【语篇导读】本文主要摘取了四次发生在全球的地震,介绍了它们的一些情况。
1.Why is the 1976 Great Tangshan Earthquake called a double quake?
A.The earthquake happened twice.
B.The aftershock happened 16 hours later.
C.The aftershock had the same destruction.

2.Which of the following has the highest magnitude?
A.Tangshan earthquake.
B.Indian Ocean Tsunami.
C.Sichuan earthquake.
D.Tōhoku earthquake.

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad,rather than saying,“It’s not bad or good,and it just is it.”
In one of my books,I said,“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”.Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it’s only negative(消极的) if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to(应用于) whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,“Oh.I wish bad things didn’t happen!”
Does it mean you can never change things?Not at all.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place?You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是“接受现实能让我们的生活更快乐、更美好”。
4.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .?
A.it is our natural emotion in the life
B.culture asks us to be different from others
C.everyone has their own opinions on things
D.we dislike something in the beginning
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.”可知,作者认为,我们感到不快乐可能是因为我们一开始就不喜欢某样东西。
5.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Acting well at work and in politics.
B.Feeling depressed for the news media.
C.Accepting and understanding what has happened.
D.Saying something negative when bad things come.
答案C
解析代词指代题。根据第四段第二句“Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.”可知,接受这些事情的本来面目,试着去理解它们为什么会这样。由此推知这里的It指的是“接受并理解发生了什么”。
6.What are you advised according to the last paragraph?
A.Help others and make a difference.
B.Enjoy what you have to do in the work.
C.Judge yourself and make a wish for you.
D.Try a new way when making the world better.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.”可知,最后一段建议我们尝试一种新的方式,让世界变得更美好。
7.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Accepting can make our life happier and better.
B.Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
C.Traditional culture becomes the root of unhappiness.
D.Judging something good or bad is important for our world.
答案A
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.”和最后一段中的“...try a different approach:accept,and understand.”可知,本文讲述的是“接受现实的东西能让我们的生活更快乐、更美好”。

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a strong snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far,he turned off the path by accident.Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone!He didn’t have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed where he was.The first thing he did was to find a shelter from the freezing wind and snow.Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.He huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn’t find anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help and he was found by a volunteer searcher.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs.Wild.That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs.Wild,Grylls is abandoned(遗弃) in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds,he was impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

Ⅴ.七选五
A volcano is a geological landform usually caused by the eruption through a vent(火山口) in a planet’s surface of magma(岩浆),molten rock welling up from the planet’s interior. 1 ?
A popular way of judging volcanoes goes by their frequency(频率) of eruption. 2 Those that have erupted in historical times but are now quiet called dormant(休眠的) and those that have not erupted in historical times called extinct.?
3 The lifespan of a volcano can vary from months to several million years,making such a distinction(辨别) sometimes meaningless when compared to the lifespans of humans or even civilisations.For example,many of the earth’s volcanoes have erupted dozens of times in the past few thousand years but are not currently showing signs of eruption.Given the long lifespan of such volcanoes,they are very active. 4 ?
Scientists usually consider a volcano active if it is currently erupting or showing signs of unrest,such as unusual earthquake activity or significant new gas emissions. 5 It is important to note that the span of recorded history differs from region to region.In the Mediterranean,recorded history reaches back more than 3,000 years but in the Pacific Northwest of the United States,it reaches back less than 300 years,and in Hawaii,little more than 200 years.The Smithsonian Global Volcanism programme’s definition of “active” is having erupted within the last 10,000 years.?
A.By our lifespans,however,they are not.
B.Those that erupt regularly called active.
C.One way of classifying volcanoes is by the type of material erupted.
D.Obviously,such eruptions tend to be destructive mainly in one direction.
E.Many scientists also consider a volcano active if it has erupted in historic time.
F.There is no real agreement among volcanologists on how to define an “active” volcano.
G.Volcanoes of various types are found on other planets and their moons as well as on the earth.
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文介绍了火山的三种类型:活火山、休眠火山和死火山。
1.G 根据第二段中提到的火山的三种类型可知,所填的句子是引出下文的过渡句,G项符合语境。
2.B 根据下文的“Those....and those...”可知,此处介绍的是火山的三种类型,所填的句子和后面的句子是并列关系,所以选B项。
3.F 所填的句子是本段的主题句。本段主要介绍的是活火山。按照火山的寿命来看,它是活火山;按照人类的寿命来看,它不是,因此对于活火山科学家的意见不一致。
4.A 与上文的“Given the long lifespan of such volcanoes,they are very active.”形成对比,所以填A项。
5.E 根据“Scientists usually consider a volcano active...”可知,E项是对上文的进一步说明。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了发生火灾时的正确做法。
1.breaks 考查时态。本文时态为一般现在时,主语是第三人称单数,所以动词要用单数。
2.are killed 考查语态。kill与people之间是动宾关系,所以这里需用被动语态,且people做主语时,be动词用复数。
3.careless 考查形容词。所填的词做表语,需将care改为careless,意为“粗心的”。
4.who 考查定语从句。这里先行词为those,指的是those people,所以需用关系代词who引导定语从句。
5.the 考查冠词。这里的fire指的是前文的a small fire,所以前面需加定冠词the,表示特指。
6.going 考查非谓语动词。before是介词,后接动词时要用-ing形式。
7.slowly 考查副词。修饰动词open要用副词形式。
8.others 考查代词。此处代指other people,所以用others。
9.as 考查介词。as在这里表示“作为”。句意:如果能的话使用这个作为你的逃生线路。
10.length 考查名词。前面有名词所有格,故后面需要填long的名词形式length。

(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)
For Western designers,China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill,chief creative officer at A+E Networks,a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year,the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art,with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition had record attendance,showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world,which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.”Of course,not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang,Alexander Wang,Jason Wu are taking on Galliano,Albaz,Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,”adds Hill.?
For Hill,it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese,so are the models,and so are the consumers,”she says.“China is no longer just another market;in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today,you are talking about China—its influences,its direction,its breathtaking clothes,and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响,展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。
1.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A.It promoted the sales of artworks.
B.It attracted a large number of visitors.
C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“The exhibition had record attendance,showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.”可知,这次展览出席的人数创了纪录,由此表明吸引了很多游客。故B项正确。
2.What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A.They are setting the fashion.
B.They start many fashion campaigns.
C.They admire super models.
D.They do business all over the world.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中Hill说的话“...which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.(这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是时尚运动的核心。)”可知,A项正确。
3.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.learning from B.looking down on
C.working with D.competing against
答案D
解析词义猜测题。画线短语的前面提到“当代一些最优秀的时装设计师本身就是中国人”,接着列举了“Vera Wang,Alexander Wang,Jason Wu”三个例子,再结合下文的句意“在设计和销售方面都击败了他们”可知,该短语的意思应是“与……竞争”。故选D项。
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C.Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
答案D
解析主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第三段和最后一段的最后一句可知,本文主要讲述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响,展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。故D项“中国文化推动国际时尚潮流”最适合作为本文的标题。

Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
“He who bears the greatest hardship becomes the greatest man.” This idiom shows Chinese people’s traditional belief in the vital role that hardship plays in a person’s life as they grow up.But today,as our lives have greatly improved,do we still need this so-called “hardship education”?
“We certainly do,” said Wang Weiqiong,mother of a 15-year-old girl in Jiangxi,“Many children take everything for granted,as they’ve never known how difficult it is to make money.”
Wang is not alone.According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily.81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas,outdoor training,taking part-time jobs,and doing housework.
Qiao Yu,from Tianjin Foreign Languages School,also supports the idea.“Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society,” said the 18-year-old,who worked in a cake store this summer.
But while it contributes to students’ development,“hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer,” Sun Yunxiao,deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Centre told China Youth Daily.“It should follow teenagers’ growth.” Sun said that students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties,for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.

第一节
【语篇导读】哈罗德是一家语言学校的老师,他和学生们乘坐巴士前往寄宿家庭的途中,巴士司机心脏病突发,车辆失控。在这紧急关头,还未获得驾照的哈罗德迅速做出反应,成功控制了巴士,挽救了学生们的生命,避免了一场严重事故的发生。
42答案A
解析本题所在句子提到巴士司机心脏病发作了,再根据第二段描述的当时的场景可知,司机趴倒在方向盘上,失去了知觉,无法再操控巴士了,因此这位英语老师即后面提到的哈罗德控制了巴士。take control of sth“控制某物”。
43答案D
解析下文提到这些学生是去英国伯恩茅斯一家语言学校学习语言的,因此他们乘坐巴士去与他们的寄宿家庭见面。meet在句中表示“初次与人结识;见面”。
44答案D
解析根据第一段第一句提到的“A young English teacher saved the lives of 30 students...”以及下文的信息可知,这位英语老师正是哈罗德。
45答案C
解析根据最后一段最后一句提到的驾校给哈罗德提供学车的课程可以判断他还没有通过驾照考试。
46答案A
解析哈罗德和学生们一起乘坐巴士去寄宿家庭,根据这一情景可知speaking to符合语境。当时他正和学生们在车上交谈。
47答案C
解析本题所在句子的下一句提到司机不省人事,因此C项符合句意。
48答案D
解析上文提到哈罗德救了30个学生的性命,因此可判断他成功控制了已失控的巴士。manage to do sth意为“设法做成某事”。
49答案C
解析哈罗德成功控制了失控的巴士,避免了更糟糕的局面,警察对此行为应当是赞扬的,因此praised符合语境。
50答案B
解析在巴士失控的危急关头,需要的是快速反应,因此reacted符合语境。
51答案B
解析失控的巴士如果不尽快得到控制会造成更严重的事故,因此选项B符合语境。
52答案C
解析本题所在的句子提到,老师和学生对这位巴士司机评价很好。因此可推断,他经常和这个学校合作。
53答案A
解析学生们安然无恙,作为老师,哈罗德应当是感到高兴的,所以happy符合语境。
54答案A
解析上文提到巴士司机没能苏醒,还是遇难了。本题所在的句子的后半句表达了哈罗德的愿望,希望这位司机能活下来就好了。因此survive符合语境。
55答案B
解析根据本题所在句子中的thanking him...可知学校奖励了哈罗德,四个选项中只有trip符合语境。
56答案D
解析根据本题所在句子中的also可知,驾校也对哈罗德的英勇行为给予了奖励,因此free符合语境。
第二节
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的民间舞蹈——秧歌。
57.created 考查非谓语动词。create和dance有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式做定语。
58.hundreds 考查数词。表示不确定的数目,hundred后要加s。hundreds of “几百;数百”。
59.as 考查固定搭配。take...as...“把……看作是……”。
60.celebrations 考查名词复数。celebration是可数名词,根据前面的some可知,该词要用复数形式。
61.is performed 考查语态。perform和music有动宾关系,时态是一般现在时,所以填is performed。
62.colorful 考查形容词。修饰名词要用形容词形式。
63.an 考查冠词。pace是单数可数名词,表示泛指,exaggerated是以元音音素开头的单词,所以填an。
64.their 考查代词。修饰mood和life要用形容词性的物主代词。
65.appreciating 考查非谓语动词。crowd和appreciate有逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式做伴随状语。
66.but 考查连词。根据语意可知,上下文是转折关系,所以填but。

My name is Albert,and I live in Chantilly,Va.I will tell you what happened to me on June 24,1996,when I was 13 years old.I was at home looking after my sister,who was mentally handicapped(残疾).My father was at work while my mother and younger sister were at my mom’s office.
I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the East were turning green.At first I thought nothing of it,but then on the TV,the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning,one that usually brings hail and heavy rain.
After seeing that,I called my mother and told her about it.She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm.Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4:30.I took a flashlight because I was sure the power was going to go out any second.Then no sooner had I gotten back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a tornado warning!I had never been in an actual tornado before,but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.
Suddenly I realised I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes.I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone.When I got back downstairs,my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately.I told him I was already down there!He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up.Then through the basement windows,the only thing I could see was when lightning struck.
I do not recall hearing of any deaths,or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a good head start to run to their basements.Either that or we are all lucky.
25.When Albert noticed the clouds growing darker, .?

The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road.Nick said he usually left his house at about 5:30 am to do morning exercises,but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school.As he looked at his neighbor’s house,he found that it was on fire.“I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house shouting,‘Your house is on fire!Your house is on fire!’” Nick remembered it was at about 9 am that the firefighters put out the fire.
Beverly Penny and her husband,Clark,along with their younger daughters,were sleeping in the living room,next to the kitchen,when they heard Nick beating on the walls.She opened the bedroom door and black smoke came in.She managed to get her kids out.Her dog tried to hide under the bed,but Penny caught it by the leg and threw it out of the door.However,chickens in one of the rooms weren’t so lucky.
Firefighters got the call at about 7:05 am.“When we arrived with our fire trucks,there were heavy flames outside on the house,” Jerry said.He called Nick a hero,saying that without his quick responses(回应) the result could have been much worse.“The firefighters were fast,” Nick said.“They arrived here within about three minutes.”
“They did a great job,and I can’t thank them enough,” Penny said,and then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes.“Everything I have is gone.Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire.” She said the fire could have been caused by an electrical problem.“We’ve been having problems with mice,so that we could have had something to do with it,” she added.

The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings,homes and roads.
The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to shake.But there have been no reports of deaths,serious injuries or damage.Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and supplies.“The ships are coming in on schedule,the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.
The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake.It connects the state’s largest city to other parts in the north.Traffic has been heavy and moving slowly since the quake.Drivers are being guided.Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.
People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1,700 aftershocks.“Anything that moves,you feel terrified,” said David,whose home suffered structural(结构)damage,including a sunken foundation(地基).Actually,Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9.2 earthquake in 1964.That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.
Government officials said a public health centre promises that money for medical treatment will continue to come.Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.
Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7.0 earthquake or greater in the following week.“The chance is very small,but it’s not impossible,” said the expert,Paul Caruso.
33.What was the result of the earthquake?
A.Buildings were damaged.
B.Food supply was cut off.
C.Many people were killed.
D.The ships could not come in.
34.Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?
A.Because small quakes hit the city.
B.Because falling rocks are a danger.
C.Because the highway is badly damaged.
D.Because drivers are misled.
35.What can you learn from Paul Caruso?
A.Another greater earthquake is on the way.
B.Chances of another earthquake still exist.
C.It will be safe in the first week after the quake.
D.There is no possibility for more quakes.
36.Where can you possibly read the passage?
A.In a story book.
B.In a travel journal.
C.In a poster.
D.In a newspaper.

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump?”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 37 Like the child on the diving board,you will stay undecided.?
38 More than that,how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal?First,you need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires ,etc.Only then should you set your goals.?
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work. 39 So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.?
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible. 40 They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.?
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 41 You should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.?
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself?
C.However,this should not discourage you.
