Twenty years ago, I was told a story of Little Brother at a party which has delighted and inspired me ever since.
Little Brother, who was an ambitious painter and trying to be an artist, went to France to 36 himself with beauty and inspiration. One afternoon, he 37 a conversation in a cafe with a group of charming young people. They took a liking to Little Brother and invited him to a party that weekend in a
38 in the Loire Valley. It would be 39 by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all, it was a masquerade ball (假面舞会).
40 , Little Brother worked all week on a costume and held back on neither the details nor the craziness of this creation. Then he rented a car and drove three hours to the castle. Little Brother entered the ballroom, head 41 high.
Upon which he immediately realized his 42 .
This was 43 a costume party but he had missed one detail in 44 : This was a themed costume party. The theme was “a medieval court”45 Little Brother was dressed as a lobster (龙虾).
He stood at the top of the steps for one long, horrible moment. Running away in 46 seemed like the most dignified response. But he didn’t run.47 , he found his resolve. He’d come this far, after all. He’d worked tremendously hard to make this costume, and he was 48 of it. He took a deep breath and walked onto the dance floor.
As he moved into the crowd, a silence 49 . The other guests gathered around Little Brother. Finally someone asked him what on earth he was.
Little Brother bowed deeply and 50 , “I am the court lobster.”
Then: laughter.
Not ridicule — just 51 . They loved him. They loved his sweetness, his weirdness, his giant red claws, his skinny legs in his bright tights. He was the trickster among them, and he 52 the party. Little Brother even ended up dancing with the queen of Belgium.
I have never created anything in my life that did not make me feel like I was the guy who just walked into a fancy ball wearing a homemade lobster costume. But you must 53 walk into that room, and you must hold your head high. Never 54 for it, never explain it away, and never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time you were given.
Sometimes it’s like that. What you absolutely must not do is walk out. Otherwise you will miss the party, and that would be a pity 55 we did not come all this great distance, and make all this great effort, only to miss the party at the last moment.

In 1946, Will Thomas decided he did not wish to live in his native land any longer and that he would take his wife and children to Haiti, where as Negroes in a Negro republic, they would be free of racial prejudice and their opportunities would be limited only by their ability to use them.
He does not believe he need detail the reasons behind this unhappy decision, except to say that being considered and treated as an inferior on every level of life can become intolerable, especially when it is by one’s race rather than his individual worth that he is prejudged — and condemned.
When he reached this point, he had become an unbeliever in both God and country, for it seemed to him that racial segregation and all that it implied was as rigid on the spiritual as on the ordinary practical life. And so finally he made the decision to leave his native land — permanently.
Love of country, Thomas found, can be very deep, very strong. So he thought to make one final try in his motherland for the equality of status which he considered he had been denied; and he chose Vermont for the experiment. Thomas reasoned that because of its great traditions of personal freedom there was at least a chance that he and his family might find there what they so yearned for, and they did. In the small farming community where they settled, they were accepted on a basis of individuality unqualified by race.
However, it is not that which now seems most important to him. It is, rather, that in such a friendly atmosphere, and amid the quiet of a beautiful countryside, it was possible to think calmly, and gradually to gain understandings by which Thomas believes he can live in peace with other men, and with himself, for the rest of his life.
One of these understandings is that unless one seeks sincerely for whatever it is he most wants, he surely will not find it, and that what he really had been seeking most of his life was not what he wanted but instead was justification for the resentments he felt. This is not to say there was not cause for those resentments, but rather that he had so concentrated upon them he could not see that the picture was not all bad — that in fact, there was considerable good in it.
Thomas had condemned his country and his religion because he viewed only what seemed wrong in both. But when he was able to remove the blinds of his own prejudice, it became clear that these failures, these flaws in church and state, were human failures, human flaws, and not mere self-willed bigotry; and that within each there were, and there always had been, many who had worked and fought for what was right.
Thomas thinks the core of his earlier bitterness had been the conviction that he had been denied his birthright of human dignity. But he knows now that is something which cannot be given or taken away by man.
It has been written that he who seeks shall find, and that to him who asks, it shall be given. And he can only testify that when he did seek, he did find; and that when he asked, it was given to him. And he knows that only the God he once denied could bestow such precious gifts.
58. What made Will Thomas decide to escape his native land in 1946?
A. Disappointment with God.
B. Equality in a Negro republic.
C. Racial discrimination.
D. Lack of individual worth.
59. Where should the sentence “However, he did not do it.” be placed?
A. Between Paragraphs 1 and 2.
B. Between Paragraphs 2 and 3.
C. Between Paragraphs 3 and 4.
D. Between Paragraphs 4 and 5.
60. By writing the passage, the author intended to ________.
A. question human failures and flaws
B. suggest how to fight for human dignity
C. call on more people to condemn racism
D. show transformation in thinking Thomas underwent
C
For 150 million years during the age of the dinosaurs, a group of dolphin-like reptiles called ichthyosaurs ruled the ocean – until everything started to go wrong.
After multiplying into about 100 known species, ichthyosaurs began to disappear from the oceans around the middle of the Cretaceous period, a time of turbulent changes in the environment. The aquatic reptiles went extinct 28 million years before the rest of their dinosaur cohort.
Scientists have been unable to find a singular cataclysmic event, such as a volcanic eruption or meteorite strike, that could explain ichthyosaurs’ abrupt disappearance from the fossil record.
Now researchers have new explanation for the lizard fish’s demise: They had lost their ability to adapt to a swiftly changing climate.
The aquatic lizards thrived throughout the early years of the dinosaurs in the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic periods. Then came the Cretaceous.
That was a turbulent time to live on Earth. The poles were nearly ice-free, causing sea levels to reach great heights. Temperatures were among the hottest the planet has seen in the last 250 million years.
Scientists have blamed the demise of the ichthyosaurs on their inability to keep up with other predators or the loss of key prey species. But a new study by Valentin Fischer, a paleontologist who studies ichthyosaurs at the University of Liege in Belgium, and his colleagues says neither of these explanations could account for the scale and speed of the die-off.
Writing in the journal Nature Communications, Fischer and his colleagues argue that the unstable climate contributed to the disappearance of ichthyosaurs during a 5-million to 6-million-year window in the Cretaceous known as the Cenomanian stage.
While the rising temperatures and higher seas wouldn’t have had a direct effect on the ichthyosaurs, they cou ld have played an indirect role in their decline, Fischer said. The changing climate could have made their food more scarce, or disrupted migratory routes and birthing places, among other consequences.
Despite their variety of body shapes and survival strategies, ichthyosaurs were unable to keep up with all of these changes, the study authors wrote.
They reached this conclusion by comparing the geological record of the Cretaceous to a newly reconstructed history of ichthyosaur evolution based on museum specimens and a review of information in previously published studies.
What became clear was the ichthyosaurs’ extinction coincided with global climate shifts and the animals’ slower rate of evolution, which left them unable to adapt as their environment changed, the study found.
“They were probably very well adapted to their niches, and their environments were probably pretty stable,” Fischer said. “That could have lowered the pressure of natural selection and thus lowered their rates of evolution.”
Think of the Cenomanian stage as a transition period.
61. The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 6 refers to the period of ________.
A. Permian
B. Triassic
C. Jurassic
D. Cretaceous
62. Fischers and his colleagues came to their conclusion by ________.
A. making comparisons
B. conducting experiments
C. analyzing samples
D. observing weather changes
63. Which of the following sentences can be used to conclude the last but one paragraph?
A. No pains, no gains.
B. No man is wise at all times.
C. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
D. Born in misery and die of happiness.
64. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A new research focused on the history of ichthyosaur evolution
B. A swift climate change followed the disappearance of Ichthyosaurs
C. Climate change taught ancient ichthyosaurs a lesson: Adapt or die
D. Ichthyosaurs ruled the ocean for 150 million years before disappearing
D
I looked down at my shoes as people filled the train, and then I saw her. I saw her beat-up unlaced construction boots first. I followed the shoes, laceless hole by laceless hole, all the way up to the face of an old woman. She was tiny. She had a slight slump in her shoulders. She wore a bright red cap. Wisps of gray poked out from beneath it.
As I watched the woman, I thought about the letters my mother wrote and how she must have known an ordinary piece of paper turns into a love letter when a person puts her self into it. Then I remembered the notebook in the belly of my bag. I would write the woman a note and give it to her as I exited the train, I decided. I could drop it at her feet.
I pulled the notebook out of my bag, turned to a new page, and began writing a letter. The words spilled out of me.
When I looked up, the woman was gone. I left the letter in my notebook, unsure of what to do with it now that she would never know that it was meant for her.
After I wrote that letter, more letters to other people I observed came marching out of me, one by one, until soon I had filled up the notebook.
Back on the train, just a few days later, the plan became clear. I was going to leave the letter I wrote to the woman on the subway for someone else to find. Then I would scatter other love letters all over New York City. And once I had set each one in its place, I would write even more. And you want to know why? Because it made me feel something.
I tried to imagine what would make me pick up a letter if I found it on a random subway train or in a coffee shop thinking it might have been for me all along. I settled on s omething simple: If you find this letter … then it’s for you. I wrote those words on my first letter. I folded the letter and placed it behind me. When I got to my stop, I planned to let the letter slip down onto the seat as I walked away.
At Grand Central Terminal, I waited for the subway doors to open and then busted out of my seat quickly. Darting through the doors, I kept walking faster and faster once my feet hit the platform. My nerves surged. There was a whiff of adrenaline as I got farther away from the train, disappearing into the city.
During the fall of 2010, I kept tucking and leaving, tucking and leaving. In the months that followed, I started my own site, https://www.doczj.com/doc/467523848.html,, about my project, inspiring others to write and leave letters in their own communities. Now the website connects her both to strangers in need of love letters and to those who want to write them.
About a year later, a woman wrote to me about her friend Briana, a single mother struggling to pay the rent. I typed out Briana’s story and published it on the website, encouraging anyone who read it to mail me letters of encouragement for Briana. I decided that at the end of the month, I’d send Briana a bundle of love letters.
A week later, I walked away from the post office with a lot of mail—and a big idea about human beings: mainly that if you give them something to do, a mission, they will show up. At the end of that month, I marched the love letter bundle for Briana to the post office and mailed it off to her.
Then, I got a thank-you e-mail from Briana’s friend. “They show you’re not alone and that you’re not struggling for nothing,” she wrote.
About all stories, I will always go back to Matt’s from Ohio. He e-mailed me one night about two years ago. Matt told me he was getting older. His family and he were disconnected. He didn’t have many friends. He was starting to believe he’d leave nothing behind and he’d be forgotten.
The message was sent with no return address attached. There was no way to write back to him, but I hope he reads these words:
Matt, I want you to know: You were wrong to think you’d be forgotten. And I was wrong to think people couldn’t walk into our lives and shift our histories in an instant. Because you did that for me.
65. Why did the author decide to write the strange woman a note?
A. Her mother reminded her to do that.
B. She preferred writing to speaking.
C. She intended to show love to the woman.
D. She wanted to offer her some help.
66. What does the author mean by saying “it made me feel something”?
A. Everyone has a duty to write strangers letters.
B. Love letters have a positive effect on others.
C. New Yorkers are lacking in love and care.
D. Strangers play a great role in her life.
67. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 8?
A. Increased.
B. Occurred.
C. Weakened.
D. Disappeared.
68. The author started her own site with the purpose of ________.
A. providing people with a platform to write letters
B. appealing to more people to care for others
C. connecting strangers with people writing letters
D. showing people the significance of her project
69. From the words to Matt, we can learn that ________.
A. it’s easy for people to walk into our lives
B. Matt was forgotten by his family and friends
C. relatives and friends also ignored the author
D. the author was influenced by Matt to some extent
70. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People came to Briana’s aid with a generous donation in the end.
B. The woman the author met on the train received the letter at last.
C. A majority of people are willing to make a difference to others.
D. Matt has a good relationship with his family and friends again.

Luck isn’t some mysterious force. “To a very large extent, we are responsible for much of the good fortune that we encounter,” says Richard Wiseman, PhD, a professor of psychology and the author of The Luck Factor. Here, some of the traits that separate fortunate folks from the self-proclaimed unlucky.
Expect good things
When people feel lucky, it tilts the scales of serendipity in their favor. “Their expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies,” says Wiseman. Researchers at New York University discovered that students who believed that they would get a date were significantly more likely to win over the object of their desire.
The simple explanation: selfassurance. If you believe that you’ll do well, you’ll be more motivat ed. Feeling lucky might even help you win a prize at a charity dinner: The more optimistic you are about your chances, the more raffle tickets you’ll probably buy. Not a Pollyanna by nature? Lucky charms can work by boosting confidence.
Court chance
Lucky people cultivate lots of friends and acquaintances. In one study, Wiseman showed participants a list of last names and asked them to indicate if they were on a first-name basis with at least one person with each surname. Of subjects who considered themselves lucky, nearly 50 percent ticked eight names or more. Only 25 percent of unlucky people could. “Lucky people talk to lots of people, attract people to them, and keep in touch,” Wiseman says.“These habits result in a ‘network of luck’ creating potential for fortuitous connections.”
Colleen Seifert, PhD, a cognitive scientist at the University of Michigan, advises getting out of an everyday rut: Attend a conference, work a political fund-raiser, or sign up for scuba lessons. “Throwing a little chaos into your life opens you up to a chance encounter,” she says. That person could end up being your soul mate, business partner—or someone you chat with for five minutes and never see again. The goal is to stay open to possibilities.
Look for silver linings
Finding value in bad luck can help your brain process situations differently, according to Tania Luna, coauthor of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. Luna showed kids emotionally intense images—like a boy crying—while measuring activity in their brains. Then she showed them again with a reassuring explanation, like “This boy has just been reunited with his mom.” Their brains showed a dramatic drop in activity in the amygdala, which processes fear. Lucky people are similarly able to transform a stumbling block into a positive event, which helps them keep taking chances. Face your next setback with these questions: What have I learned? What do I
want now? How can I get it?
Trust your gut
Elizabeth B. will never forget her luckiest moment: She was driving to New York from Pennsylvania when something told her to buy a lotto ticket. After she pulled over, a terrible accident occurred: “A pickup crossed into my lane and crashed into a guardrail. If I hadn’t stopped, my car would have been t otaled.” Maybe Elizabeth’s pit stop was a fortuitous fluke. Or maybe her intuition had warned her to get away from an erratic driver. She can’t be sure. But we process far more visual information and sensory details than we consciously realize, which can lead to instincts we can’t explain.
In a British study, subjects played a game with cards from four decks while their heart rates were monitored. Folks didn’t know the game was rigged: Two decks were stacked with high-value cards, two with bad cards. The pl ayers’ heart rates dipped when they went near the high-value decks —their bodies had identified the difference before their minds were aware. So trust your instincts. Lucky people are more apt to do things to tune in to their inner voice, like meditating and taking walks.

According to Professor Piers Steel, of the Haskayne School of Business at
the University of Calgary, 95% of people postpone important tasks at some

2018年江苏高考英语试题答案解析 21.By boat is the only way to get here,which is_______we arrived. A.where B.when C.why D.how 【答案】D 【解析】考查名词性从句。句意：乘船是到达这里唯一的途径，这就是我们如何到达的。分析which引导的非限定性定语从句可知，后面为表语从句。分析句意可知，这里用连接副词how引导表语从句，充当方式状语，表示“如何”。故选D。 拓展：本题考查表语。首先需要弄清句意及分析句子结构，然后根据前句By boat is the only way to get here提示可知作方式状语，就不难选出正确答案。 22.Kids shouldn’t have access to violent films because they might_______the things they see. A.indicate B.investigate C.imitate D.innovate 【答案】C 【解析】考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。句意：孩子不应该接触暴力电影，因为他们也许会模仿他们所见的事情。A.indicate指示；B.investigate调查；C.imitate模仿；D.innovate改革。故选C。 拓展：本题考查动词辨析。动词和动词短语的考查是高考重点考查的知识点，解题时要区分清选择项的含义与区别，再联系句意进行判断，从而选出正确答案。考生在平时学习过程中要注重动词和动词短语的识记与掌握。 23.Self-driving is an area_______China and the rest of the world are on the same starting line. A.that B.where C.which D.when 【答案】B 【解析】考查定语从句。句意：自动驾驶是一个中国和世界其它国家都在同一起跑线的领域。句中先行词为area，在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where，相当于in which。故选B。拓展：本题考查定语从句。定语从句是高考重点考查知识之一，分析定语从句需抓住两点：1.找准先行词。2.看先行词在从句中所作的成分。抓住这两点，再根据句意，从而能够判断出正确的关系词。
