Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When she grew older, the 15-year old girl discovered the joy of sewing and found it calming, She started out to make small objects, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing.
Her love for the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which produces what she calls “wearable art”. “My definition of ‘wearable art’ is something often handmade, designed to make you feel uni que,” she explains. She sells her creations in farmers markets, at sales for local churches, and other places.
All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She says there are 21 billion tons of cloth material in waste landfills(垃圾填埋场) in the United States. The teenager hopes to reduce that amount through her work. She works a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process starts with finding cloth material that looks good with the jackets.
Ellie's mom. Amy H eath, is a former school art teacher. “Creativity feeds kids' brains. I think it's very important for children to have as many opportunities as possible and be inspired by as many objects and people,” Amy says.
Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. Ellie worked hard and was always very creative, but also very kind, helpful to the other students. Students learned the basic sewing skills in Crow's class. Over the last three years, Ellie has created clothing for theatrical productions at Severna Park High School. Last year, Ellie designed several pieces for actors to wear in the school musical drama.
Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and spread the joy of creativity among students. She also dreams her business will grow and become a model for other young people who have a dream they want to come true.

When students walk into Jenny Umland's class, they don't automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Lowenstein’s are allowed to sit wherever they want. Umland doesn't assign seats. In fact, she has done away with most of the regular desks and uses beach chairs, standing desks, and rocking chairs instead.
Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats. Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices. Some teachers point out that students are often more comfortable speaking up when they're sitting near kids, they like the most.
“If kids are happy and comfortable, they are more willing to learn,” says Umland. After 19 years of teaching, she tried non-assigned seating for the first time this year. She says she'll never go back.
But not all teachers are ready to do away with their seating charts. Some say having assigned seats helps students focus on their work, instead of where they'll sit. One teacher from Texas thinks letting students sit wherever they want can create chaos. Assigned seating helps keep classrooms under control. Without specific seats to go to, students may argue over who gets to sit in the best spots. He often finds it hard to work in that environment. A more controlled classroom leads to better learning. Maybe what he says is reasonable. A 2012 study by Montana State University found that high school students did better on tests when a teacher assigned their seats.
A student, Jack, from Lowa, thinks he and his classmates should be comfortable when they learn. He says, “My teacher, Mrs. Umland, allows us to choose our own seats, and it's great!
I used to be terrified of sitting in the same seat every day, which made me uncomfortable all over. Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I'm most comfortably.” And Umland says, “The setup in my class helps kids get along better. If two students want to sit in the same spot, they have to talk it out and compromise”.
8．What do we know about Umland?
A．She insists on arranging regular desks.
B．She is strongly against non-assigned seating.
C．She has failed in teaching in the past 19 years.
D．She lets students in her class choose their own seats.
9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 2? A．tried on B．looked forward to
C．got rid of D．prepared for
10．What does Jack think of the Umland's seat setup in her class?
A．It is cozy. B．It is terrifying.
C．It is controversial. D．It is uncomfortable.
11．What's the best title for the text?
A．What Role Do Students Play in Class?
B．Should Students Have Assigned Seats?
C．Students Are Required to Listen Carefully in Class
D．Assigned Seats in the Classroom Are Popular Now
If you sit down to play an old-school board game like chess this holiday season, it might be surprising to keep in mind just how bad you'd be against a computer. In fact, computers have shown they're capable of taking humans' lunch money at board games for a while now. Remember Deep Blue versus Gary Kasparov in 1997 or AlphaGo against Lee Sedol, in South Korea, at the game of Go(围棋), in 2016?The computer won.
Now, the same team that created the Go-playing robot is celebrating something more powerful: an artificial intelligence system that is capable of teaching itself and winning at three different games.
They call it AlphaZero, and it knows two kinds of chess and Go. All of these games fall
into the kind of “full information” or “perfect information” contests-each player can see the entire board and has access to the same information. That's different from games like poker, for example, where you don't know what cards an opponent is holding.
“AlphaZero needs to be told the rules of the games first, and after that, it learns by competing with itself in the games,” says Julian Schrittwieser."It suggests that we have a good chance to extend this to even more real-world problems that we might want to solve later."
And board games have historically been a good way to test computers' abilities. “It took us decades of work on these games to reach the point where AlphaZero can perform them better than people,” Campbell says. “I think they've served the field very well. They've allowed us to explore techniques such as the ones used in AlphaZero, which will be helpful as the field aims at more complex tasks.” Campbell adds. “And that is the whole point in the first pl ace of solving games-it isn't for their own sake, but for it is a limited kind of environment where we can make progress in many other branches of science and technology.”
12．What's the author's main purpose in mentioning the two games in paragraph 1?
A．To show computers are bad at playing board games,
B．To prove computers can defeat humans at board games.
C．To emphasize humans are capable of playing computer games.
D．To demonstrate people can earn money by playing board games.
13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The operating principle of AlphaZero. B．The differences between chess and Go. C．The information about hi-tech contests. D．The features of the games AlphaZero knows.
14．How can AlphaZero learn in the games?
A．By playing the games against itself. B．By playing multiple online games. C．By being programmed by humans. D．By setting the rules of the games. 15．What does Campbell say about board games?
A．They help solve computers' problems.
B．They are used to test people's abilities.
C．Their techniques can be applied to other fields.
D．Their technology can be merely limited in games.

①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。
②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企鹅是一种神奇的鸟类以及其生活区域、外形等信息。41．考查动词时态和语态。句意：它是在每年的4月25日庆祝。根据every year可知，时态是一般现在时，且主语是It，与celebrate之间是动宾关系，因此要用被动语态。故填is celebrated。
42．考查形容词。句意：企鹅也是一种神奇的鸟类，因为它们的身体适应了不同寻常的气候，而且大多生活在海里。根据名词birds可知，此处要用形容词作定语修饰名词。故填amazing。43．考查介词+which引导的定语从句。句意：企鹅主要生活在南半球，而大多数人把企鹅和南极洲联系在一起，因为企鹅在那里分布得更广。根据介词in可知，此处要用which，构成由in which引导的限制性定语从句，先行词是Antarctica，in which在定语从句中充当地点状语。故填which。
44．考查固定搭配。句意：企鹅种群分布在南美洲、南非、澳大利亚和新西兰，以及南太平洋的许多小岛上。短语as well as“和……一样”是固定搭配。故填as。
45．考查副词。句意：这种企鹅在进食时游泳，经常穿过赤道进入北半球。根据crosses可
知，此处要用副词修饰谓语动词。故填regularly。
46．考查名词的复数。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据years ago可知，此处要用数量词，millions of“数百外的”。故填millions。
47．考查形容词。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据swimmers可知，此处要用形容词作定语，修饰名词。故填skilled/ skillful/ skilful。
48．考查冠词。句意：它们是游得最快、潜水最深的鸟类，一次可以在水下停留20分钟。短语at a time“一次，每次”是固定搭配。故填a。
49．考查副词的比较级。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。根据than they do in the air可知，此处要用副词的比较级来修饰动词work。故填better。
50．考查不定式作目的状语。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。此处要用不定式作目的状语，表示目的。故填to spot。
【点睛】
第1小题考查了一般现在时的被动语态。一般现在时的被动语态，肯定句的主要结构为：主语（动作接受者）+is/am/are+动词的过去分词+by+动作执行者。如：
Football is played in most countries in the world.
The boy is called Jack.
