When I trained for Olympics, I would 28 the same 69 figures over and over, eight hours a day.

A homeless man is fast becoming an Internet sensation (引起轰动的人) with his video blog of life on the street of Moscow, it’s reported. Yevgeny Yakut moved to the Russian capital, hoping to live better, but soon found himself one of the many homeless people in the city known for its housing shortage and high cost of living. But he thinks he has found a way out. “I was warming myself in a railway station when I saw a television report on bloggers earning money by making advertisements,” he tells the TV channel Moscow 360. A young passer-by got chatting to him about t he idea, and agreed to be Mr. Yakut’s cameraman, using a smart phone to record his friend’s humorous stories of daily struggle to “find food, a place to sleep, and keep out of the way of the police”. So viewers could see how he lives in central Moscow without a home.
They upload the regular videos to YouTube, where Mr Yakut is hoping to attract enough subscribers (订阅者) to interest advertisers in his channel. So far, the pair have attracted more than 18,000 subscribers---around half of those since Russian media began reporting his story and more than 450,000 video views.
In one video Mr Yakut points out free shuttle bus (班车) serves that he, and others in his position, can use to get around. He also shows viewers the best place he has found to wash and shave---a modern shopping centre bathroom---and how to make use of the items other Muscovites have abandoned in the city’s bins.
The popularity of the pair’s You Tube channel has impressed v ideo-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov, who tells Moscow 360 that with some pro fessional help, “this could be turned into a million subscribers within a year”. In the meantime, Mr Yakut says supporters can make donations through a Moscow drain pipe, where he hides his dollars in a deposit box made from
a soft-drink bottle.
41. How did Yevgeny Yakut find the method of living in Moscow ?

On March 19, Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old Pakistani student and women’s education activist, returned to the classroom for the first time since being violently attacked by a member of the Taliban ---- a terrorist organization ---- on October 9, 2012. Malala was shot on her way home from school in Mingora, Pakistan. A Taliban group took responsibility for the attack, claiming that the attack should serve as a warning to others. Members of the group follow a strict version of the local religion and believe girls are not permitted to go to school. Malala was targeted because she is appealing for girls’ rights to education in Swat Valley, Pakistan.
Malala recovers from the attack at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England. After a long period of recovery, Malala is starting as a nine-year student at Edgbaston High School.

Malala has been an Internet blogger, or writer, since she was 11 years old. In 2011 she
was awarded Pakistan’s National Peace Award for her bravery in writing about difficulties of life and education in the shadow of Taliban. She has spoken publicly about children’s rights and been nominated（提名）for an international children’s peace prize.
After the attack in 2012, support for Malala poured in from around the world. The United Nations declared November 10 Malala Day. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the day honors Malala and shows the world that people of all sexes, all backgrounds and all countries stand behind the heroine.

Plastic bags are a popular container in much of the world, but they are also a major source of pollution which need hundreds of years to break down, and as they do, tiny pieces can poison soil, lakes, rivers and oceans. So, environment experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags.
Maryland artist Allita Irby just does so. It all starts with the morning newspaper, and the plastic bag that the paper comes in. The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities three years ago. “As I was taking the newspaper out, I felt the texture (质地) of these bags. I just looked down and realized it takes three to make a braid (发辫). I’ll just put a few main materials in just to make it strong enough.”Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags to
create abstract lines in her art works.
Before using plastic bags in her pieces, Irby used natural materials like feathers, leather and dried plants, all of which contain elements that represent her Native American ancestry and identity, like her piece called “Navaho Bundles”. “I was making a hair style, a Navaho hair style when the hair was heavy and it was looped back on itself. I took the piece and looped it back onto itself and secured it with a tie.
Ms. Irby’s neighbors praise her ability to turn wastes into treasure. Some people, like Charlotte Hogan, asked the artist to teach them how to create art from used plastic bags. Aleta Meyer expressed surprise, “ I’ve never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag. This is definitely different.”Shirley Watts plans to show others her art. “I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it on my wall and then I know that I did it,” she said.
Allita Irby says anyone can do it and all you have to do is open your eyes and bring the outside in.
51. The first paragraph is written to offer _______.
A. the conditions of making plastics
B. the background of the story
C. the reason for using plastics
D. the importance of plastic bags
52. We can learn that Allita Irby ________.
A. will never use plastic bags herself
B. pays much attention to her hair style
C. was born in a Native American family
D. only uses plastics to make art works now
53. What do you know about Allita Irby’s art works before she used plastic bags?
A. They are similar to Navaho hair styles.
B. They are actually tools used in daily life.
C. They offer Irby the inspiration to recycle plastic bags.
D. They are made of natural materials.
54. What do Allita Irby, Charlotte Hogan, Aleta Mryer and Sjirley Watts have in common ?
A. They live in the same neighborhood.
B. They are all mixed media artists.
C. They are active in protecting the environment.
D. They learn art from the same master.
55. As for art works made from wastes, ________.
A. Watts follows Irby to make art works.
B. Meyer says she’ll never make plastic arts.
C. Irby thinks what it needs is to discover beauty.
D. Hogan thinks they are the best ones for churches.

A crow lived in a thick forest filled with many birds. The crow was very content with his carefree life until he saw a swan one day. The swan was flying over a lake. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black. It must be the happiest bird in the world.”
He shared his thoughts with the swan. “Actually,”the swan replied, “I thought so too until I met a parrot. It had brilliant colors of red and blue. No other bird could be happier than the parrot.”
The crow went in search for the parrot, and found it rested on the top of an old rain tree. The parrot explained, “ I too was very happy until I chanced upon a peacock . My colors paled in comparison to the peacock’s. Its rich colors put my coat to shame.”
Curiosity defeated the crow, who was determined to look for the beautiful peacock. He finally found the peacock at the zoo. Hundreds of people gathered round to watch the peacock and its beautiful wings. After the crowd left, the crow rested itself onto a rock and said, “Dear peacock,”the crow said, “You are so beautiful. Every day, people come just to see you. People either drive me away or avoid me when they see me. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”
The peacock replied, “My beauty had me kept in this zoo. In the years I spent here, I often thought to myself that if I were a crow, I could be enjoying a carefree life outside. Then after many months of internal struggles, I come to realize that I need to learn to be happy in what I have instead of expecting what I do not have. I am happy because I’m satisfied with my life here.”

It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters （水泡）企om digging, and we all got insect bites, too. I learned a lot about 伊dening and collaboration （合作），and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the produce汇The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our p缸t icular garden, since many schools plant them. The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie （大草原）， we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of t he garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students. 英语试题第2页（共9页）
2017 6月 D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing a ll of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the iss ue, let?s take a look at three types of “waits”. The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most anno ying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it?s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wan ders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of w ait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand fi ve minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After a ll, Forced Waiting requires patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is u nusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过，我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是，我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说，这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题，让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。 等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问，这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候，你绝对不能做任何事情，但要让双眼紧盯着水槽，直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中，大脑会从身体上滑出，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。 守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤，需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸，加入混合物，煮三分钟，从火中取出，放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟，强迫等待需要耐心。 也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的，因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待，这也是自愿的，等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。 把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望，这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看，这似乎很荒谬，就像在汤混合上的说明一样，但幸运的是，那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它，希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。 我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边，等着它装满你要吃的面条汤，直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来，不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C
2020届首都师范大学附属中学2017级高三联考 英语试卷 ★祝考试顺利★ 第一部分：知识运用（共两节,45分） 第一节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分,共15分） A My classmates and I had a really unforgettable experience,which made us very happy.

When we arrived at her house, her mother was preparing food for us. Then we began to help with the cooking. About an hour later, the food was ready, and we sat at the table enjoying the delicious food including fish and ___3___ (vegetable). Finally we went to Ann’s room where we watched our favourite TV programme together. ___4___ (decorate) with flowers and balloons, the room was warm and comfortable. 【答案】1. to 2. had given 3. vegetables 4. Decorated 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者和同班同学昨天到露西家做客的愉快经历。 【1题详解】 考查介词。表示“参观……”,应用pay a visit to sp.,是固定表达。故该空填介词to。 【2题详解】 考查时态。句意：因为她已经给了我们清楚的说明,所以,我们毫无困难的找到了她的家。根据语境,“她给我们说明”发生在“我们找到她的家”之前,即过去的过去,故该句应用过去完成时态,填had given。
