Dear Jack,
I am so pleased to learn that you are to spend some time in China.
I recommend you stay in Beijing, the capital and cultural center of China. The city enjoys a high reputation for its abundance of ancient architecture, which represents the traditional local lifestyles. And there are also plenty of museums where precious relics of historical interest are waiting for you to explore. Besides, the exceptional Peking Opera performances there are also what you can’t miss.
I wish you a very happy and meaningful time in China!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 概要写作
An increasing number of Americans are becoming workaholics. They work extra hours every week to maintain their jobs and become financially successful. Even on holiday, modern communication technologies always connect them to work. Consequently, workaholism breaks up their families and damages their health. Luckily, there is a lot one can do to make time away from work though it takes some effort, but anyway, it’s worthwhile to have a try.
只要坚持梦想终会实现 1

浙江卷 阅读理解 A 【文章大意】本文讲述了Zac归还紫心勋章的故事。 21.A【解析：由第二段中“Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart－he earned one himself in a war as a soldier”可知，Zac 的紫心勋章是他自己得到的。而被他母亲在古董店意外得到的是Adeline保存着的勋章。】 22.B【解析：mean business意为“认真的；严肃的”。由Zac的话“To drive eight hours to come to see me”也可猜测到Zac能理解Adeline对于勋章的重视程度。】 23.D【解析：倒数第二段中Adeline的话说明Adeline一开始并不明白为何她的父母十分看重家里的紫心勋章，直到她长大了，开始怀念兄长时才明白这枚勋章承载的意义。所以是对兄长的怀念使Adeline珍藏着勋章。】 B 【文章大意】本文通过一个街头活动呼吁人们要保有善心、乐善好施。 24.C【解析：no strings attached指“无附加条件；不求回报”；without conditions意为“无条件”，故选C。由后文“Give What You Can”和“many others pinned their own cash to the board”也可体现。】 25.B【解析：前文说“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic（社会经济的）backgrounds”可知有很多人都参与到了这个项目中。因此后文新娘的事情是就此进行进一步的说明。】26.D【解析：由文章最后Bridges的话“Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”可知这个项目的主要目的是鼓励人们心存善意、伸出援手。】 C 【文章大意】本文分析了加利福尼亚高大乔木数量减少的原因。 27.A【解析：由第二段首句可以看出高大树木的数量锐减，且没有地区能够幸免于难，整体形势十分严峻，故选A。】 28.D【解析：第三段包含了四个选项的内容，“Aggressive wildfire control”尽管控制野火但是导致小树和高大的树木争抢生长资源。】 29.C【解析：倒数第一对缺水原因进行分析。由“...have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply...”可知选C。】 30.A【解析：本文主要摆出了加利福尼亚州高大树木数量减少的现状并且分析了原因，故A 项最贴合文意。】 七选五 【文章大意】本文简单介绍了对rock music影响深远的乐队——the Beatles。 31.C【解析：由下一句中“At that time”可知此处应该谈及时间段。】 32.B【解析：前文提到了“extremely popular in England”，此处应该承接这个话题将他们是有多受欢迎，故选B。】 33.A【解析：下一句提到了“the Americans”所以此处选提及了去美国的A项。】 34.G【解析：空后句主语为“The concert”，故该空应当也是concert相关，故选G。】 35.E【解析：空前一句是感谢the Beatles为rock and roll做出的卓越贡献，故表现the Beatles 对其他乐队影响的E项更符合文章思路。】

2019年浙江省高考英语试卷 一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分） A Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby．He finds old military（军队的）medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet．But unlike most collectors，Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners，and returns them． His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother，a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A．G．Piccoli，found in an antique shop．Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier．So when his mother gave him the medal，he knew right away what he had to do． Through the Internet，Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko．But when he finally reached her，the woman flooded him with questions："Who are you？What antique shop？" However，when she hung up，she regretted the way she had handled the call．So she called Zac back and apologized．Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown，N．Y．"At that point，I knew she meant business，" Zac says．"To drive eight hours to come to see me．" The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown．Corrado，a translator for the Army during WWII，was killed in action in Europe． Before hearing from Zac，Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing．Like many military medals，the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure．" This medal was very precious to my parents．Only on special occasions（场合）would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands，" Adeline says． As a child，Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant．"But as I grew older，" Adeline says，"and missed my brother more and more，I realized that was the only thing we had left．" Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown． Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama．Since he first reunited Corrado's medal，Zac says his record is now 5 for 5． 1.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself？______ A. In the army． B. In an antique shop． C. From his mother． D. From Adeline Rockko． 2.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him？______ A. She was very impolite． B. She was serious about the medal． C. She suspected his honesty． D. She came from a wealthy family． 3.What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart？______ A. Her parents' advice． B. Her knowledge of antiques． C. Her childhood dream． D. Her memory of her brother． B Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can,Take What You Need." People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. "People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took," said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives,tens and even twenties.The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $20 bill pinning it to the board. "What I can say for the folks that gave the most,is that they were full of smiles," Bridges said. "There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could. While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet. "After all, everyone has bad days and good days." he said. "Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand." 4.What does the expression "Money with no strings attached" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Money spent without hesitation. B. Money not legally made. C. Money offered without conditions. D. Money not tied together. 5.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride? A. Women tended to be more sociable. B. The activity attracted various people. C. Economic problems were getting worse. D. Young couples needed financial assistance. 6.Why did Bridges carry out the project? A. To do a test on people?s morals. B. To raise money for his company. C. To earn himself a good reputation. D. To promote kindness and sympathy. C California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素). The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent. Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源). But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development. The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt(融雪). Since the 1930s, McIntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 7.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
