March 29th,
Dear Diary,
I’m writing this at my room. It’s almost midnight and I have to getting up early tomorrow, but I can’t sleep. I’m thinking about my future! Every day, my parents asks me, “What do you want to be when you grow?” The problem is: I don’t know! My mom always says, “Be a doctor!” And she doesn’t understand —to be a doctor, you have to study for a long, long time and that’s not her idea of fun. Also I’m really bad at biology at the school. My dad says, “Be a pilot!” Is he crazy? He knew I hate flying!
Now I’m getting tiring, so I’m going to bed. I can think about my future in bed. I get my best ideas when I’m lain down.

I have known my friend Rebecca for a long time. We firstly met at a friend’s birthday party five y ears before. We found out that we both liked singing and dancing, so I invited Rebecca over to my place. We listened to the music together and soon became best friends. Three years ago, Rebecca’s parents invited me go on holiday with them. It is great. We spent three wonderful weeks in a little cottage.
Rebecca and I loved walking along the beautifully beach. We took a lot of photos and had a lot of funs. Last year, Rebecca’s father changed her job, and they moved to other town. Since then we haven’t seen each other very much, but we’ve talked in the phone and we’ve written emails to each other.

Dear Joe,
How are you? Thanks to your post —good to know when you’re OK. I’ve got news too. I’m going on holiday next weeks with my brother and Anna, a f riend from school. We’re going to stay on a farm with four days! We’re going to look after the animals and doing some horse-riding. I’m sure I’ll love it. You know how crazy I am about the animals! I want to learn all about the cows or the horses.
I hope I will have some times to go walking in the hills, too. Well, right now I’m going to finish homework —lots to do before the holiday! I’ll write to you when I get back to telling you about my holiday.
Yours,
Nadia

People had always been interested in bees. This interest may have begun with the honey what bees make. In the fact, it has been found that people have been eating honey for thousand of years. In the more recently past, people were interested in the way bees made honey. They admired the way bees seemed to working so hard. Some languages even developed expressions about people working like bees. In English, for example, we talk with a “busy bee”. Now scientists has a new reason to be interested in bees. They have discovered that bees able to communicate with each other. Research has revealed some surprised facts about this, but there are still many mysteries.

Yesterday afternoon, I took the No. 6 bus to go home. It was crowded on the bus, and I had listened to music by my earphones. Suddenly I saw the name of the bus stop that I should get off, so I got off the bus in hurry. When I arrived home, I realized that I had left my bag on the bus. My ID card and ten books were in the bag. I was worried and eager to finding it, so I went to the bus companies for help. Fortunate, at the Lost and Found, I see my bag. I wanted to thank the person who had found my bag, and the staff there said the person hadn’t left his name. How a good man!

I read an interested piece of news on a newspaper today. According to Professor Richard Wiseman, only less than a quarter of the British achieved their New Year goals because they do it in the wrong way. He studied 700 volunteers who made a wide ranges of New Year goals, including quitting smoking, losing the weight, or gaining a qualification. Just 22 percent of the participants managed to meeting their goals or descr ibed their progress like “very successful.” The reason so much failed was that they took the wrong approach and led by self-help books in the wrong way. They tended to spend a lot of time on thinking about the “bad things” what would happen if they did not achieve their goals instead of taking action.

Last weekends, I went shopping by myself. It was a sunny day and I feel very happy. When I had bought anything I needed, I went to the bus stop to take a bus. Unfortunately, there were too much people at the bus stop. Then it was my turn to get on, there was no room. I had to wait the next bus. Suddenly, it started to rain. I had no choice but to call a taxi. Half way through the journey, the taxi was broke down. I was filled with angry when I saw an emptier bus go by. Finally, I decided to walk home in a rain. What an unlucky day!

2019全国卷1高考英语完形填空答案详细解析 【预览部分】 【完形填空答案与详细解析】 【主旨大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文主要介绍乞力马扎罗山的垃圾污染问题以及当地管理机构努力治理之后环境的改观。本文就游客对乞力马扎罗山自然环境的破坏展开论述，对山体环境进行介绍，意在引起人们对于自然环境的重视。 41. D。考查动词词义辨析。译文：每年有40,000人到非洲最高的山脉乞力马扎罗山（Kilimanjaro）旅游，他们带来了许多废品垃圾。解答此题根本不用费什么心思，读完第一、第二句马上就明白：此题是因果逻辑推断题，即第一句是原因，第41空句是结果。根据前文Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知每年都有很多人去游览乞力马扎罗山，由此可推测该空是说游客将垃圾废物随身带到了山上。keep with意为“把……与……放一起”；mix with意为“（使）与……混合/结合”；connect with意为“与……连接”；bring sth. with sb. 意为“某人随身带来……”；故只有选项D切题。故选D。 42.C。考查名词词义辨析。译文：拥挤的人群破坏了美丽的乞力马扎罗山。此题仍然属于因果关系推断题。根据上一句Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知，每年有大约四万人游览乞力马扎罗山，所以此处是指游客所造成的破坏，由此推断出本题答案是crowds（拥挤的人群）。A. stories故事；B. buildings建筑物；C. crowds人群；D. reporters记者。故选C。 【正文】 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908.Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them. Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects o f American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history. pot and In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with“ a chicken in every a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power. The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990. The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L.Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best. Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing strength.“ clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”

2019高考英语阅读理解-推理判断题（含解析） 一、阅读理解 1.根据短文理解，选择正确答案。 Here are six steps to better studying. Pay attention in class Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention. Take good notes Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It's a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject. Plan ahead for tests and projects Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic. Break it up When there's a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let's say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night. Ask for help You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you're at home when the confusion occurs, your mom or dad might be able to help. Sleep tight So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan—but suddenly you can't remember anything! Don't panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you've given it. Try to get a good night's sleep and you'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning. （1）We know from the passage that a loud person is ________. A. a student who always answers questions loudly in class B. someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice C. a student who likes speaking with others in class D. a person who makes a lot of noise in public places （2）If you don't understand what you have learnt, you can ________. A. read your notes over and over again B. turn to people around you for help C. put aside the material for later review D. ask your teacher to explain it the next day （3）By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解归类练习—旅游交通（详解） (2012·江西卷)For those who make journeys across the world，the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other，allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago. Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid，they say，for the conquest (征服) of time and distance.Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed，not_endured(忍受)．The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about https://www.doczj.com/doc/4214015115.html,kes and forests and wild，open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane，however，there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting，in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know，and the hours progress slowly. Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways；baggage is weighed，tickets produced，examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer，yes，but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder，then，that the modern hi gh-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
