Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Money is all surrounding us.Every day,we see it,use it,and it is one the tip of our tongue.Did you ever stop to consider where the money you carry around every day comes from?
Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task.It has up to 65 steps.When the money in use gets dirty and worn out,it will be replaced with new money.The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed.Usually,the old money is burned.The burned money is replaced by new paper money.
While old money is being replaced,new money is being printed in a place called a mint (铸币厂).Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency (流通货币).These large sheets are cut into individual bills.The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks.
Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (photos of statesmen and places of interest are favoured) or a new colour.It is not easy for the government to make a new bill.It takes a long time,and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks.First,people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed.Then,they ask an artist to design the new bill.A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die.The dies are made and put onto large printing machines.Then,very special paper is used,which no one but the mint can have.Along with this special paper,the mint also prints currency using special colours.After the dies print the new currency onto the paper,the bills are cut,stacked,and sent off to the banks.

A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.
The Robot Activity Support System,or RAS,uses sensors fixed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents (居民) are,what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities.It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own,provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks.
“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection (探测) technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment,when the need for help is detected.” said Bryan Minor,a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to include into their smart home environment.They recently published a study in the Journal Cognitive Systems Research that shows how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.
“While we are still in an early stage of development,our initial results with RAS have been promising,” Minor said.“The next step in the research will be to test RAS’ performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea.”

Ⅱ.七选五
Your own backyard may be a fun place to play.You may have trees to climb,and insects to study.__1__.But did you know these things are related to each other through the food chain?Every part of nature belongs to a community where each member uses the lower members to stay alive.
Every part of the world has food chains,including the oceans and the deserts (沙漠).__2__, the whole chain could fall apart.The food chain is most disturbed (扰乱) by people because we build neighborhoods on the land where animals live and we pollute the environment.Both these actions make it difficult for other living things to survive.
Still there is a lot we can do to protect the parts of food chains.Here are some ideas that can help:
__3__.Make your backyard a place that other living things can enjoy.Plant more flowers and trees.And,most of all,try not to disturb the places where other animals live.
Do not pollute the environment.Recycle (回收) any material you can.__4__.Having fewer cars on the road means having better air for all of us to breathe.
Keep learning about and respecting (尊重) plants,animals,and the environment.__5__.You may even pass it on to your own children someday.It’s important that as many people as possible protect nature and keep the food chain whole.
A.Share your space
B.If you ever want to see it
C.But if one part is taken away
D.We depend on each other for food and survival
E.Ride your bike or walk to places that you need to go
F.You can then pass this information on to your parents and friends
G.Maybe you hear birds singing or see your pet cat sleeping in the sun
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章介绍了保护生态平衡的重要性以及方法。
1.解析: G项中的birds singing和pet cat sleeping in the sun与该空前的have trees to climb,and insects to study相呼应,都是对首段第一句“Your own backyard may be a fun place to play”的解释说明。
答案: G
2.解析: 由第一段中的“things are related to each other through the food chain”和“Every part of nature belongs to a community”可知,食物链中的任何一个部分缺失,都会使整个食物链垮掉。C项中的taken away与该空后的fall apart相呼应。
答案: C
3.解析: 该空后的“Make your backyard a place that other living things can enjoy.Plant more flowers and trees”和“try not to disturb the places where other animals live”与A项的Share your space相呼应。
答案: A
4.解析: 由本段小标题Do not pollute the environment可知,E项中的Ride your bike or walk to places与该空前后的Recycle any material和Having fewer cars on the road都是不污染环境的做法。
答案: E
5.解析: F项中的this information与该空后的it都是指代本段小标题“Keep learning about and respecting plants,animals,and the environment”。
答案: F

Two weeks ago,a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank(存钱罐)onto the living room floor and immediately started counting.Her grandmother,Jackie Oelfke,thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins,but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News.“Nobody messes with the piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer,Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied.The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money.“I’m going to take it for milk money.My friend Layla doesn’t get milk - her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words.Choked with strong feelings,Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week,Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher,Rita Hausher,and handed her the$30 the kindergartner had saved.There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk.It costs $0.45 a carton (纸盒).The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school,Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan.To her surprise,dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause.Within a week,Jackie raised more than $1,000.Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal.She was just trying to look out for her friends.“She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said.“But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

A
On any given day,you can find most 10-year-old boys throwing a ball around outside,riding their bikes,or playing video games.But Braden Baker is different.
Braden is a hearing impaired (受损的) 5th-grader and has to wear hearing aids (助听器).Unluckily,Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them - not once,but twice—and they had to be replaced.But at $3,500 to $6,000 a pair,Braden’s carelessness was costly.
Braden’s mother Ashley sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids,explaining just how much they cost.“I told him that he was lucky we could buy another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair,” Ashley said.
Those words clearly stuck in Braden’s mind,who realized that not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them.So recently,the 10-year-old took it upon himself to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky.
Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money.Ashley said,“We weren’t really sure how it would turn out.He began with a goal of $1,000.We woke up the next morning and found that it had raised $400.”
This encouraged him to start making even more videos.Fast-forward a few months and Barden’s GoFundMe page has raised over $15,000,which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation.And that money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children.
The project has not only taught Braden the value of money,but according to his mom,“he’s learned that if you put a small idea into action,amazing things can happen.”
As for Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others?“Don’t give up! Any small idea can get really big.”
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。10岁的听障男孩发起筹资网页,帮助贫困听障儿童购买助听器。
1.Why did Braden change his hearing aids?
A.He wanted a better pair of hearing aids.
B.The old pairs were destroyed by his dog.
C.His hearing problem became more serious.
D.He lost the old pairs because of his carelessness.
解析: 细节理解题。由第二段中的Braden’s dog Chewy found...they had to be replaced可知,Braden的狗找到并弄坏了他的助听器。
答案: B
2.What has led to Braden starting a GoFundMe page?
A.His mother’s words about the usefulness of hearing aids.
B.His mother’s encouragement for him to do good things.
C.His wish to help poor children with hearing problems.
D.His need to buy a new pair of hearing aids.

B
The average American family will spend somewhere around $637 on back-to-school supplies for each elementary school child this year and twice that for a high school student.Add to that the fact that both children and parents feel anxious about the transition (过渡) of going back to school at the end of summer.For this,Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut the hair for about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday.
In fact,Smith has been giving back to the community in other ways long before this weekend.He cuts hair by day,but in the evenings,after bringing his daughter home from school,he goes to work as a police officer.
“A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer.They trust me because they think that I teach kids to do the right things in the barber shop.I always tell young men that they always get to stay neat and attractive,and people tend to treat them with respect,” Smith says.“When you get your hair cut,you look good and feel good.”
Maybe a service that would only cost $15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket,but child and teen psychologist Dr.Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service.Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month,as organizers have recognized how much parents can use this extra help.
Greenberg tells Yahoo,“One of the ways to make a transition easier is to make it fun and introduce something new or unusual,so the whole idea of getting a haircut makes kids feel special and important.” The haircuts were just part of the Start School on the Right Foot event,which also handed out about 50 backpacks full of school supplies.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍Jermaine Smith等人通过免费为学生剪发和鼓励学生来减轻即将回校的学生及其家长的思想和经济负担。
5.What does the text tell about Jermaine Smith and other barbers?
A.The way that they help children and parents.
B.The fun that they find in returning to school.
C.The advice that they offer on summer holidays.
D.The view that they hold on preparing for a new term.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut the hair for about 40 kids and teens for free”及下文围绕haircut这一话题展开可知,本文主要讲述Jermaine Smith和其他理发师帮助学生及其父母的方式,故选A项。
答案: A
6.Which of the following can best describe Jermaine Smith?
A.Honest and generous.
B.Creative and friendly.
C.Grateful and thoughtful.
D.Reliable and responsible.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Smith has been giving back to the community”和第三段中的“A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer.They trust me because they think that I...”可推知,他是一个负责任和值得依赖的人,故选D项。
答案: D
7.What does Jermaine Smith want young people to do?
A.Leave a good impression on people.
B.Form a healthy lifestyle.
C.Treat people with respect.
D.Get along well with others.

A.People try to make kids feel special and important.
B.More people take action to help kids in school.
C.People amuse the little kids in schools regularly.
D.More parents are willing to work together.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Dr.Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service.Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month”可知,更多的人加入来提供帮助了,这应该是Jermaine Smith很高兴见到的。
答案: B

It was a cold morning,and Eduardo Ortega was nervous.He held a large envelope.In it was his dream.
“This is everything,” he said.“I’ve worked for this since I was a young boy.”
Eduardo remembered the long hours working in the fields,picking strawberries and beans.After the workday,his tired friends drank coffee or slept.Eduardo studied,read,and wrote poetry and short stories.Although he missed many classes,he became the school’s best student.
One school year,Eduardo wrote an essay (文章) and won a prize-a flying trip to San Francisco.As he flew,he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields.He promised himself not to return to that life.He loved to fly.
This morning,Eduardo caught the school bus and went to school with the envelope.He walked past his classmates and sat down at his desk.He opened the envelope and began reading the letter inside.It was the answer to his application to the state university.It was also the answer to the beginning of his dream of becoming a pilot.
Even though Eduardo worked to help his family,his father always encouraged him to go to school.So,while he worked,he also studied.
Eduardo knew that his dream was his father’s dream,too.His father was a smart man,but he was too poor to go to college.He loved to read,but never had time,because he worked long hours.
Now,as Eduardo read the words,“Congratulations...you have been accepted,” he knew that his dream was not lost.One day,he would be a pilot,flying every day to all the exciting places in the world.

语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了前天我在去买书的途中,发现了小偷,然后机智勇敢地对付了小偷。
1.解析: 查定语从句连接词。句意:前天,我去了学校附近的书店买了一本参考书。此处是一个定语从句修饰先行词bookstore,且先行词在从句中做主语,指物,故用关系代词that/which。故where改为that/which。

A
(2019·黑龙江东南联合体期末联考)
Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You were born rich.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence.Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are always victims.They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify (确定) the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
In all areas of your life,whether they are financial,physical,or spiritual,you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it.You are on the road to success.
语篇解读 这篇文章告诉我们每个人生来就是可以成功的,可以富裕的,那么区别到底在哪呢?在于你是否能够让成功的种子发芽。想成功,我们到底应该怎么做。
1.People with low self-confidence are compared to leaves because they________.
A.don’t have the power to face their lives
B.are ready to change their minds
C.can’t exercise control over themselves
D.are easily affected by windy weather
解析: 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are always victims.They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.可知不自信的人是因为他们不相信自己有能力,也不相信自己能够为自己的生活做主。他们就像随风摇摆的落叶。故选择C,意为他们不能掌控自己。
答案: C
2.Losers would think that________.
A.they fail only because of bad luck
B.they don’t make efforts to succeed
C.success is the result of hard work
D.working hard will lead to success
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段的Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.可知,失败者总是认为事情的发生都是偶然的。故选择A,认为自己的失败只是由于时运不济。
答案: A
3.It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that ________.
A.what we believe in is the result of creative mind
B.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
C.setting our expectations is vital before taking action
D.knowing cause and effect is the key to future success
解析: 推理判断题。根据第五段 We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence可知,人们的思想和信念决定一切,走向成功需要对自己充满期望和自信。故选择B,意为我们的态度决定我们是否成功。
答案: B
4.The last paragraph serves as________.
A.an introduction to another topic
B.a comparison between two views
C.the proof of the author’s points
D.the conclusion of the argument
解析: 主旨大意题。最后一段主要总结整篇文章的内容,即你对你的生活负责,要坚信这一点,这样你就会走向成功。故选择D,意为总结。
答案: D
B
There are many different voices on charity donations recently.Chen Tianqiao,one of the Chinese billionaires,gave away $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help promote brain research.Chen has been interested in the brain research,believing it can advance the industries of artificial intelligence and virtual reality.However,this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users.
Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research,which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years.Rao Yi,a biologist at Peking University,even said the donation was a typical mistake.
Others,however,support his choice.They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared with Chinese research Institutes.Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology,and therefore it produces more efficient results.What’s more,the results of the research will benefit not only the Americans,but also the rest of the world.
A similar controversial (有争议的) case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi,chairman of SOHO China,donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.
Many believe that China is still far behind in management and use of donated money,and that as a result,Chinese donators are looking abroad.In comparison,Western countries like the US,which have a long history of donating money,have well-developed systems that use money efficiently.They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money.To get more donations,Chinese universities should be braver and more honest.They need self-reflection rather than envy.
语篇解读 本文主要讲了中国有很多的富人把钱捐赠给国外大学,而不是国内的大学。作者针对这一问题建议中国的大学应该发展有效使用捐赠的体系。
5.Why did Chen’s huge donations draw people’s attention?
A.It was used for brain research rather than for the poor.
B.It was not used efficiently.
C.It was the largest donation.
D.It should have been donated to a Chinese college.
解析: 推理判断题。由第二段“Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research,which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years.”可推知Chen的巨额捐款引起了人们的广泛关注是因为它本应该被捐给中国的大学,选D。
答案: D
6.Which of the followings can best replace the underlined word “domestic” in the second paragraph?
A.home B.family
C.household D.homepage
解析: 词义猜测题。“Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research”这句话的意思是许多人批评他把钱捐给了国外,而不是国内的脑研究学院,所以“domestic”的意思是国内的,选A。
答案: A
7.The example of Pan Shiyi was used to________.
A.inform some Chinese students are poor at education
B.show off the generosity of Chinese billionaires
C.present the widespread disagreement over donating abroad
D.prove the Chinese are crazy about donations
解析: 推理判断题。由第四段“A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi,chairman of SOHO China,donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.”可推断出举潘石屹的例子是为了说明人们对待捐钱给国外这件事看法的不同,选C。
答案: C
8.What is the main advice does the author give to the Chinese universities?
A.Developing artificial intelligence.
B.Educating the braver and more honest graduates.
C.Developing fast to catch up with the US.
D.Developing systems to use the donations efficiently.
解析: 推理判断题。由最后一段“To get more donations,Chinese universities should be braver and more honest.They need self-reflection rather than envy.”可推知作者给中国大学的建议是发展有效使用捐赠的体系,选D。
答案: D
Ⅲ.七选五
Kate will never forget the day “the list” went up.The 12-year-old stepped into the cafeteria (自助食堂) for lunch at her school in Wisconsin.__1__
“Assigned (分配的) seating?” she wondered,staring at a paper taped to the wall.She looked around the room for her new table,hoping to see at least one friend there.But it was a group of strangers.
__2__Just finding a seat can be embarrassing (尴尬的).Kids often walk around the room,hoping that someone will move over to make room.
Then there’s a lot of noise and it’s hard for teachers to notice everything.That makes it easy for bullies (恃强凌弱的人) to pick on other kids.
At Kate’s school,a computer program assigns students to tables every few weeks.This way,students have to sit with kids they might not normally talk to.__3__Kate ate quickly so she could leave as fast as possible.
But the lunchroom got calmer.Bullying nearly disappeared.__4__“I met kids I had never had the chance to talk with,” she says.“I made new friends.”
Assigned seating has its disadvantages.Lunch is one of the few chances kids have to enjoy free time during the school day.It’s a chance to relax,trade snacks (点心),and catch up with friends in other classes.
__5__For example,kids can sit at round tables instead of long ones.That way,everyone can see and hear each other,more kids can take part in conversations.There’s also “Mix It Up at Lunch Day.” Thousands of schools take part in this program.Once a year,every student must eat with someone new.It’s a small but meaningful step toward making lunchtime better.
A.Kate changed her mind.
B.And that’s when Kate saw it.
C.Students didn’ t like the system at first.
D.Lunchtime is the one time when kids have freedom.
E.For some students,lunch is the hardest time of day.
F.And there are other ways to deal with lunchroom problems.
G.But some people say kids should be able to make their own seating choices.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。十二岁女孩凯特所在的学校食堂实施了午餐座位分配制度,这引发了人们对是否有必要分配食堂就餐座位的讨论。
1.解析: B项在此处起承上启下的作用。B项中的when指代该空前的凯特走进食堂看到名单的那一天;it指代the list以及下一段中的“a paper taped to the wall”。
答案: B
2.解析: E项中的“lunch is the hardest time of day”与该空后的“finding a seat can be embarrassing”相呼应。
答案: E
3.解析: 由就餐座位分配制度导致的结果“students have to sit with kids they might not normally talk to”和凯特起初对该制度的反应“Kate ate quickly so she could leave as fast as possible”可知,一开始学生们并不喜欢这个制度。
答案: C
4.解析: 由上文中的“Kate ate quickly so she could leave as fast as possible”和下文中的“I made new friends”的对比可知, 随着食堂越来越安静以及欺凌现象几乎不再出现,凯特对就餐座位分配制度的态度发生了转变。A项中的her mind指代她对该制度的态度。
答案: A
5.解析: 由上文中的“Assigned seating has its disadvantages”和下文中的“step toward making lunchtime better”可知,除了座位分配制度,还有其他办法可以解决食堂里的问题。该空后提及的方法“sit at round tables instead of long ones”是对F项中的“ways to deal with lunchroom problems”的一个例举。
答案: F

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2019·湖北期中联考)
A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities:school,baseball practice,homework.And then he starts cooking.“Some nights I’m up until 1 am making pies,or even later if we’re cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida,US.
For the past year,Lanster and Kelly Moran,his classmate,have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home.Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them,until the pair decided to do something nice for charity.“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets,a nice watch,and many kitchen machines,” Lanster said.“But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us.”
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads,a charity (慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices.The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals.It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs.After their last 12—person event,Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity.Now,they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road.Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties in a similar way:the host pays for the ingredients (食材),and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.
Outside the kitchen,the two are busy preparing their college applications.Neither is sure what they will do in the future,but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave cooking alone until they finish high school.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lanster and Kelly Moran热衷于厨艺,并以举办私人晚宴的方式来为慈善团体筹款的故事。

答案: B
2.What can we infer about Lanster and Moran?
A.They will give up cooking forever.
B.They are sure about their future jobs.
C.Their parents support cooking as a job.
D.They will stop cooking for college application.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Outside the kitchen,the two are busy preparing their college applications.“在厨房外,两人正忙着准备大学申请。”可知,为了申请大学,他们将停止做饭。故选D。
答案: D
3.How can we best describe Lanster and Moran?
A.Selfish and reliable.
B.Creative and helpful.
C.Confident and careful.
D.Outgoing and patient.

答案: B
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Great Cook B.Eat as you Wish

语篇解读 本文是议论文。如果我们请父母照看小孩,应不应该给他们支付工资呢?
1.A.take B.help
C.pick D.send
解析: 由上文中的“If you ask your parents to babysit regularly then you should pay them”可知,此处表示父母没有义务免费“帮(help)”你照看孩子。
答案: B
2.A.pay B.expect
C.refuse D.get
答案: C
3.A.stop B.hurt
C.surprise D.judge
答案: A
4.A.value B.trust
C.appreciation D.excitement
解析: 由上文中的“you should pay them”以及本句中的but和“you must find other ways”可知,当然,大多数帮忙给子女照看孩子的父母都“不会要(refuse)”工资。但是,不要因为这样就“不(stop)”表达你对他们的“感激之情(appreciation)”,你应该换用其他的方式。
答案: C
5.A.spend B.raise
C.give D.watch
解析: 由语境可知,有些父母必须精打细算,才能收支平衡,watch(当心,留意)符合语境。
答案: D
6.A.time B.advice
C.answer D.order
解析: 父母帮助照看小孩,不仅无偿地投入了自己的“时间(time)”,还会额外增加花销。
答案: A
7.A.listen to B.look after
C.educate D.protect
答案: B
8.A.pretends B.agrees
C.continues D.wants
解析: 由本句中的“she loves them”以及下文的描述可知,“我”问母亲她为什么要无偿地帮“我”“照顾(look after)”孩子,她说她喜欢他们,“想(wants)”成为他们日常生活中的一部分。
答案: D
9.A.money B.food
C.pictures D.presents
解析: 由本句中的“to pay for petrol”可知,我们会经常往母亲包里塞“钱(money)”。
答案: A
10.A.inviting B.telling
C.promising D.training
解析: 结合第一段中作者的观点以及下文中的“We help her in other ways,mainly gardening”可知,作者不希望母亲在帮忙照看孩子的时候,还给他们花钱。故此处表示“我”不断“告诉(telling)”母亲不要给孩子们买东西。
答案: B
11.A.quicker B.stranger
C.harder D.later
解析: 由上文中的“We help her in other ways,mainly gardening”以及本句中的“she gets older”可知,母亲年龄越来越大,对她来说,园艺工作也变得“比较吃力(harder)”。
答案: C
12.A.hobby B.dream
C.gift D.choice
解析: 由本句中的“but there are other ways to say thank you”可知,此处表示如果你不需要帮助父母做园艺工作的话,choice符合语境。
答案: D
13.A.so B.but
C.though D.or
答案: A
14.A.speak B.buy
C.finish D.cook
解析: 由上文中的“there are other ways to say thank you”可知,你可以给父母做些饭菜冷藏起来,“这样(so)”当他们没有精力“做饭(cook)”时,就可以吃到可口的饭菜。
答案: D
15.A.talk B.deal
C.project D.check
解析: 由上文可知,许多父母无偿地帮自己的子女照顾孩子。结合下文中的“either pay for a cleaner to visit their home monthly or help them...cleaning the bathroom,etc.”可知,反过来,我们也可以替父母做一些清洁工作,deal表示“交易”,符合语境。
答案: B
16.A.jobs B.ideas
C.games D.researches
解析: 由下文中的“changing bed linen,cleaning the bathroom,etc.”可知,此处表示一些比较难做的“家务(jobs)”。
答案: A
17.A.commonly B.clearly
C.importantly D.amazingly
解析: 上文和本段罗列了我们可以为父母做的几件事,相比之下,本段讲述的事最“重要(importantly)”。
答案: C
18.A.depend on B.learn from
C.wait for D.care for
答案: D
19.A.prove B.know
C.imagine D.accept
答案: B
20.A.yet B.even
C.just D.still
解析: 结合上文以及本段中的“Ask them how their day’s been,check in with them regularly”可知,我们应该聆听父母的心声、“关心(care for)”父母,让父母“知道(know)”他们是家里的重要成员,而不“只(just)”是临时照顾孩子的保姆。
答案: C

Drinking tea a lot of advantages,one of helps refresh yourself and improve your thinking ability.Besides,drinking tea every day is said to help you keep and live longer.What’s more,some kinds of tea can even help people lose weight and more beautiful, appeals to a lot of ladies.
1.解析: 考查固定用法。短语be home to “为……的所在地;是……的家乡”中间不需要添加冠词,故去掉the。
答案: 去掉home前的the
2.解析: 考查连接词。句意:众所周知,中国是茶的故乡,茶从中国传到世界各地。本句为定语从句修饰先行词China且先行词在从句中做地点状语,故that改为where。
答案: that→where
3.解析: 考查名词的复数。year为可数名词,由five thousand修饰应用复数形式,故year改为years。
答案: year→years
4.解析: 考查冠词。important为元音音素开头的单词,因此应使用不定冠词an,故a改为an。
答案: a→an
5.解析: 考查介词。短语serve sth.to sb.“为某人奉上某物;用某物招待某人”,故with改为to。
答案: with→to
6.解析: 考查动词时态。句意:喝茶有许多好处。本句为描述客观事实应用一般现在时,故had改为has。
答案: had→has
7.解析: 考查定语从句连接词。本句为定语从句修饰先行词Drinking tea,指物,且做介词of的宾语,故that改为which。
答案: that→which
8.解析: 考查形容词。keep为系动词后跟形容词作表语,故health改为healthy。
答案: health→healthy
9.解析: 考查动词时态。根据上文并列谓语lose weight and可知此处应用动词原形,故became改为become。
答案: became→become
10.解析: 考查非限定性定语从句。句意:有些茶甚至可以帮助人们减肥,变得更漂亮,这吸引了很多女士。本句为非限制性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,故appeals前加which。
答案: appeals前加which

I always put two things in the bottom drawer of my desk:paper to write letters,and notes from others that I’ve received in the past few years.On top of everything in the drawer is a three-page letter from a woman who wrote that she was grateful for the female-central history book we wrote.In my attic is a box of more notes that have been sent to me over the years,and letters from former students I taught,teens I worked with in my church’s youth group,friends who have moved away and others.Many of them are thank-you notes.
I don’t keep the general thank-you notes I receive that simply thank me for a gift,although I certainly appreciate those.What I keep are notes and letters that go beyond the acknowledgment of a gift.I appreciate them because they remind me that I can have some great influence on others.A recent study in the journal Psychological Science finds I’m not alone in my thankfulness for this gesture.
In the study,researchers carried out three different experiments in which participants (参与者) wrote thank-you letters—ones that went beyond a thank you for a gift—and predicted how they thought receivers would feel when they read them.What the researchers found was that those who wrote the letters “greatly underestimated (低估) how surprised receivers would be at why givers were grateful,overestimated how embarrassed receivers would feel,and underestimated how positive receivers would feel”.
As a matter of fact,many people don’t write thank-you notes or letters because they underestimate how much someone else will appreciate their thanks.By not expressing their thanks in writing,they miss out on the opportunity to do something that will positively affect both their well-being and the well-being of the person letters are directed to.

答案: D
25.What does the underlined word “acknowledgment” in the second paragraph mean?
A.Decorating beautifully. B.Feeling interested in.

A.People ignore the power of writing thank-you letters.
B.People show different feelings when they receive gifts.

27.What is the advantage of writing thank-you notes or letters?
A.It offers chances to show kindness.
B.It helps people express themselves.
C.It benefits both writers and receivers.

If you walk into the Helvetia Lavender Farm on the right weekend in July,you’ll be greeted by rows of lavender (薰衣草) bushes,white-topped tents,and country music.The owners of the small farm outside Portland,Oregon,have been hosting the event for 11 years.
Walking past the booths,you’ll see Nancy Miller,who owns the farm with her husband,Don.The couple bought the Hillsboro farm for a few reasons.
“I love lavender,and it grows so well here,and it’s just such a wonderful,fragrant (芳香的) flower,” Miller said.“The farm was also a way to raise money for the work we do in Ukraine.We run a rehabilitation (康复) center,and work with children and teens.”
Miller explained that besides its beauty and fragrance,lavender has several advantages.“For example,if I have a headache,I put a drop of lavender oil on my forehead,and my headache disappears,” she said.“The other part that’s very important is that it’s relaxing.”
Near one of the entrances to the farm is a booth filled with watercolor paintings by Angela Grainger.She has been selling her works at the Lavender Festival for eight years,and says that she loves the spirit of the event.
Grainger began painting during a difficult time in her life.“Painting was like my healing process,” she said.“It makes me happy,and I hope that when people see my paintings,they walk away happy.”
Jennie Thompson is also an exhibitor at the event,presenting people with pristine (原始状态的) photographs she took.
“I love photography,” Thompson said.“My favorite part is recording life in families and people enjoying their good times.”
For Thompson,a photograph is a memory recorded forever.She inspires other photographers to “follow your interest,take classes,and stick to your dream.”

Now,a growing number of companies are offering subscriptions (订购) for something most people are used to owning:cars.
Car subscription plans are mainly aimed at drivers who do not want to have long-term agreements for one single car.Many people using the services say they like being able to use a number of different kinds of vehicles (车辆) depending on their needs.
Steve Barnes uses a car subscription service in Atlanta,Georgia.He says that every time he orders a new car “it feels like New Year’s morning”.Barnes signed up for the service in 2018 to be able to use many kinds of vehicles for different purposes.He says for some activities with his children,he chooses a large SUV.But when he wants to have fun or go out at night,he chooses a Tesla or some other kind of sports car.But the comfort of such services can come at a high cost.Barnes pays $1,400 a month for his subscription.This is much higher than the $900 a month he used to pay to hire an SUV with insurance (保险).Still,he has no desire to own or hire a car again.He says his subscription has allowed him to drive many different vehicles which would have cost more than $1 million to own.
Some of the world’s biggest automakers are currently offering subscription plans for vehicles.One of them is Ford Motor Company.The company signed a deal last year with the San Francisco-based subscription service—Canvas.Canvas offers several models,including used vehicles.Monthly subscriptions start at $379 for small cars and go up to $1,125 for large SUVs.But these plans limit drivers to 800 kilometers per month.For another $100,users can get unlimited travel.
Adela Spulber works at the U.S.-based Center for Automotive Research in Michigan.She said that the effects of vehicle subscription services remain unknown.

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A handheld language translator can cost a lot of money,so it is important to choose the best one.Some features (特征) to consider include its size,battery (电池) life,and ability to translate.
First,most people who use this type of translator are travelling,so having a smaller one is important.
36 If the machine cannot work for an entire day,then it will not be very good as problems might arise in translation.
37 Some translators are advanced enough to work with speech recognition,but most work with either typed input or written input.How the resulting translation is shown is also important.A program may be able to play an audio clip (音频) of the translation,or it may only show it on the translator’s screen. 38 If one cannot read what the screen says,one will not be able to make much use of the dictionary.
Many people are drawn to translators that can translate between many languages.This feature is truly impressive. 39 A translator that works with only two languages may not have as many choices,but it is often more detailed and accurate.
One final thing to consider is that many phones now have the features to fun_ction as translators.These programs are often much more inexpensive and require no additional technology. 40
A.Another feature to consider is battery life.
B.One can type the contents to translate by keyboard.
C.35 languages are supported,covering over 200 countries.
D.There are different input styles for handheld language translators.
E.However,it is somewhat rare that a person will use that many languages.
F.Looking at the programs,one may find a handheld translator unnecessary.
G.In that case,one must make sure that one can use the resulting information.

答案: A
37.解析: 根据空后的内容可知,有些翻译器已经达到了语音识别的程度,但大多数翻译器要么是打字输入,要么是书面输入。由此可知本段主要讲述了手持语言翻译的输入方式,D选项总起本段,并提及到这种翻译器有不同的输入方式,故选D。
答案: D
38.解析: 根据空前内容可知,程序可以播放翻译的音频剪辑,也可以只在译者的屏幕上显示;以及下文的内容可知,如果一个人看不懂屏幕上显示的内容,他就不能很好地利用字典。由此可知,程序翻译出来信息应该是可利用,否则就不能使得这个翻译软件的用处得到发挥,故G项起到承接上下文的作用,故选G。
答案: G
39.解析: 根据空前内容可知,翻译器能够翻译多种语言,但是很少会有人使用这么多语言,E选项和前文是转折关系,其中many languages是关键词,故选E。
答案: E
40.解析: 根据前文内容可知,现在很多手机都有翻译功能,所以人们可能不需要手持翻译器,由此可知,F选项承接上文内容,故选F。
答案: F
