A
Dear Mrs Beattie，
I was so afraid the first time I met you.It was not just that you were really fat and shouted so loudly.Everything about you was scary.All the teachers were afraid of you, too.But you were excellent and very kind. You would shout at us if we'd done something wrong in another teacher's lesson, and then you would go to apologize (道歉) to that teacher for what we had done. You made us believe we were able to do anything if we put our heart into it.I hated art, and was ashamed of being unable to draw anything well.So, of course, I wandered about in art lessons.You took me aside and said I could do it.You told me to concentrate on the lines, and if it was not good, I should start again.
Do you remember how you made me draw and paint that photograph of the tennis player Nastase, and it was a bit too bad at first but in the end I was so unbelievably proud of it? You could even see the veins (静脉) in his legs.“ Mind over matter，” you said, or something like that—and you were right.We thought you were an ogre(凶恶的人)，but you turned out to be the fairest person on the earth.
There was a time when I did really well in everything but geography, and you said, “Simon has done quite well this year, but I was only let down by his geography where he didn't work hard enough.” I said I had worked hard but was too weak in it, and asked if you could change my report, and you rewrote it, saying, “Simon has done quite well except for geography, which he's not very good at.”Thanks, Mrs Beattie. Hope you're still teaching there.
Lots of love，
Simon Smith

Ⅰ.七选五
How to Make Small Talk
There's nothing small about small talk.Many great friendships and relationships have started with small talk.Small talk helps you build a meaningful relationship with a person. 1 If you want to know how to master small talk, just follow these steps.
2 If you want to make a person feel comfortable，the best thing to do is to have an “open attitude” and to direct your body toward that person without being too forceful. Just make eye contact，don't cross your arms, and face your shoulders toward that person.This will make the person feel like you're giving him all of your attention.
Put away your phone.There's nothing more annoying than talking to a person who is constantly checking his cellphone.
Though you should look eager to talk to the person, don't look too eager.Don't lean so close that you scare him away. 3
Give a friendly greeting.If you're seeing someone you already know, just say hello and greet her by her name，“Hi, Jen, it's good to see you.” 4 If you don't know the person, introduce yourself first so you feel more confident and in control of the conversation.
5 Just a simple “I love your shoes—where did you get them？” can get you into a fun conversation about shoe shopping.Even if the praise doesn't lead anywhere, it will still make the person feel more appreciated before you start discussing other subjects.
A．Start with small praise.
B．Have friendly body language.
C．Focus your attention on their shoes.
D．It also benefits you in the professional world.
E．Many people are turned off by a close-talker.
F．You will feel uncomfortable when close to others.
G．This is simple and direct and lets the person know you're excited to talk.
【语篇解读】 闲聊是一种重要的交际活动，它有助于人们与他人建立起一段有意义的关系，但是闲聊也需要技巧。
1．解析：选D 上文谈到了闲聊可以“build a meaningful relationship”，D项中“also benefits you in the professional world”与此照应，故选D项，说明闲聊的益处。
2．解析：选B 从文章篇章结构分析，本空应选择一个主题句。下文中的eye contact以及“don't cross your arms”等都是肢体语言，故选B项“要有友好的肢体语言”。
3．解析：选E 上文中的“Don't lean so close that you scare him away.”表明不要过分地靠近他人，E项“近距离交谈者会使许多人感到厌烦”承接上文，故选E项。
4．解析：选G 上文举例说明，遇到认识的人要主动向他人问候，G项中的This指代上文的例子，“lets the person know you're excited to talk”说明向他人打招呼的好处。
5．解析：选A 这是尾段的主题句。尾段举的例子“I love your shoes”是对他人的赞美，且下文“Even if the praise”中的praise也是提示，故选A项。

(2019·河南省郑州市联考)
For students at the Farm School in Hamilton, Virginia, the classroom is outside every day.Jaclyn Jenkins is the founder of the school.“The No.1 question we get immediately from parents is ‘What happens if it rains？' And we say, ‘Bring an extra set of clothes！'” Jenkins adds, “We still educate them.Their brains are working when they're moving.So，our goal is to always be outside.” The Farm School is a preschool, a place for kids who are 3 to 4 years old to learn and play.
Alison Huff has taught at other schools.She says the Farm School gives its students more of a hands-on learning experience.For example, children use pumpkins to learn about colors and counting.They learn about measurement by planting seeds 30 centimeters apart.Huff adds，“We can use everything a regular preschool uses, but out in the garden.” In addition to planting vegetables and fruits, children help prepare food and clean up afterwards.The school，teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown.“They can see the benefits of what they have in the garden and taste it then instead of going to the grocery store and buying it，” says Huff.
The preschoolers also learn words in languages other than English.Huff speaks in both English and Spanish.Her assistant speaks French and Arabic.A 3-year-old in her class speaks four different languages.
Farm animals are also an important part of the education program.Jenkins says the children learn about a different animal every month.Two months ago, she says, that animal was a cow.“We do actually have a cow that we bring to the school.They get to see what the cow is like, and learn what cows eat.They use little gloves and pretend to actually milk a cow.They make butter and yogurt.” The children spent another month with a large bird—a turkey.
The idea for a school like this started after Jenkins and her husband bought a farm in Hamilton, with a late 18th-century house.They called it “One Day Farm” because years earlier they had hoped that “one day” they would have a farm.“That's when it started, the spark of a farm school，” said Jenkins.
【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了汉密尔顿的农场学校。
5．What is the biggest difference between the Farm School and others?
A．There are many plants and animals at this school.
B．This school is mainly for students to learn farming.
C．Almost all the activities take place outside at this school.
D．This school is quite popular among parents and children.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知Farm School与其他学校的不同之处在于教室都在户外。
6．What don't the children do at this school?
A．Raise turkeys and cows.
B．Plant vegetables and fruits.
C．Prepare food and clean up.
D．Recognize colors and count.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中内容可知，故选A。
7．How is Paragraph 4 developed in the text?
A．By listing. B．By comparison.
C．By logic. D．By example.
解析：选D 文章结构题。根据第四段可知，此段是举例说明。
8．What made Jenkins found this school?
A．Parents' preference for a farm.
B．Her desire to own a farm.
C．A request from the government.
D．Children's love of playing outside.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，建立这所学校的原因是他们渴望拥有一个农场。
