I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not, his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.I remembered our happy growing-up years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education, Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Dad died. Unlike him, I got over the sorrow soon, but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didn’t see each other often, but we talked on the phone. Usually, though, we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us, Jerry dropped in regularly at first, but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse, I thought.One day I went to see the doctor about my back. It had been aching for months. “I can’t find anything wrong with you physically,” the doctor said. “But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you?” I poured out my story about Jerry. “Do you think he’s likely to change?” he asked.I shrugged. “Probably not.” “But, you can,” he said gently.Me? Why did I have to change? He was the one who constantly let us down. But what had I done? Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior, but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. A s I walked into the house I sensed a relief.Jerry died young due to drinking. I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was, not as I wanted him to be.1.Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because .A.he was influenced by bad guysB.his mom left to live with his sisterC.nobody cared for him after his father diedD.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father2.The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “”．A. occasionalB. frequentC. formalD. unpleasant3.What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?A. It was acceptable.B. It gave her much hope.C. It was unreasonable.D. It made her confused.4.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Love can help a person give up bad habits.B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health.C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person.D.We should try to love a person as he is.BDigital technology­email and smart phones especially have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in anoffice. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced ( 加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housewo rk while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.5.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A.They have little trust in modem technology.B.They want to stick to their routine practice.C.They fear losing control of their workers.D.They are used to face-to-face communication.6.What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.7.What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours.B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Reduce their staffs workload.D. Adopt flexible work patterns.II.完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D )中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs anddon’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”1 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C.Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations．2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’re good at telling stories.C. They’re inconsiderate of others.D. They’re careful with their words.3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD. Good News Beats Bad on Social NetworksBIf you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but sinceit has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.5.What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ lectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.6.What can we learn about Decio?A. It is a new variety.B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.7.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph3mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C.A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples.B .To introduce an apple festival.C. To help people select apples.D. To promote apple research.CScientists often see the first ton years of a child’s life as the "window of opportunity". 1__.

（2）Welcome Unit ——2021-2022学年高一英语人教版（2019）寒假作业一、阅读理解1.Chinese students always complain that they're under great pressure and don't get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they're much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.According to the study, among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students have asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of South Korean students have never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students. Moreover, Chinese students drink alcohol and smoke earlier than South Korean and Japanese students. Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol, compared to 50 percent for South Korean and Japanese students.According to the survey, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea are 33 percent and 47 percent respectively (分别). Their worries come from "study", "future after graduation", "friendships" and "relationships with their parents". To go with stress, 57.9 percent of South Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea. The report said that over ha lf of students in South Korea had tried to lose weight in the past year, while in China the figure was only 22 percent. In measures of self-worth, such as "I think I am valuable", "I think I am successful", "I can complete many things" and "I won't give up to failure", Chinese students showed greater self-confidencethan students in Japan and South Korea.1.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Chinese teenagers are the tallest, but most unhealthy.B.Chinese students drink the most alcohol and smoke earliest.C.Japanese students ask for the least sick leave.D.Chinese students ask for sick leave most often.2.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A.Chinese stud ents are luckiest, yet most unsuccessfulB.Chinese students are confident in themselves and luckierC.Japanese students are most stressedD.South Korean students sleep the least3.The worries that c ause students to be stressed come from the following factors EXCEPT __________.A.study and careerB.physical appearanceC.friendshipsD.family relationships2.You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen(—年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don't know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation(迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.When you talk to people at orientation, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced(高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs,music and theater groups a nd sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.1. How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school?A. Proud.B. Nervous.C. Excited.D. Curious.2. What are freshmen probably worried about?A. The learning task.B. The ability to make friends.C. The freshman orientation.D. The relationship with teachers.3. What do after-school activities mainly help students to do?A. Develop friendships.B. Develop their interests.C. Build up their strength.D. Improve their learning ability.4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. What you'll learn in senior high school.B. What you learned in junior high school.C. The difference between junior high school and senior high school.D. The importance of being more independent and responsible.3.It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little frightened on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often read classroom rules and school rules to you so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't know. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!Seeing friends you haven't seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.1.What does the underlined phrase "kick off" in the second paragraph probably mean?A.Start.B.Study.C.Find.D.Teach.2.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about?A.What to know about a new school.B.How to prepare for a new school.C.What to do on your first day of school.D.How to spend your first day of school.3.According to the passage, you usually do the following things on the first day of school except _________.A.introduce yourselfB.learn about the school rulesC.make new friendsD.go over your new lessons4.If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, what will you feel from the passage we know?A.Nervous.B.Sad.C.Happy.D.Worried.4.To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers —only "staff members". The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. "You do not need to say to a three-year-old, 'Go to explore your environment.' You can't stop them!" says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. "But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning."At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even thefour-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.When the school first opened i n 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.1.What is the main topi c of the article?A.An unusual school.B.Children's hobbies.C.A school without rules.cation in the US.2.What does the school believe?A.Teachers cannot teach children well.B.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.C.Learning is for adults—children should only play.D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.3.What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?A.They love learning.B.They are very naughty.C.They want to be outside all the time.D.They are too young to learn anything.4.Who has the most power in the school meetings?A.The older children have more power than the younger children.B.A child has more power than an adult.C.The younger children have more power than the older children.D.Everybody has equal power.二、七选五5.Just Go to UniversityFor any student, going to university is one of the most important stages of their lives. It is a time when a young person will move out of their home to be independent. ①_______ Are youready for such an exploration? The following information may be helpful.· Why should you go to university?Learning is a lifelong process. University is the right place where you can learn both academically and socially. At university, you will be taught by leading lecturers in their fields of study. ②_______Meanwhile, you will meet people with different backgrounds at university. This offers you the chance to learn to look after yourself, to develop your own values and to accept those who may be different.·③_______Once you have decided that you do want to go to university, how can you choose a dream one?④_______ Your interest, the major and the course to be taken are all the concerns. Many universities have open days or send tutors out to talk to the students on what they offer. This also gives you a chance to ask questions. Finding out what their predicted exam grades will also help students determine which university may be the most suitable.· What can you learn at university?In many universities, each student begins with a general knowledge base in the first year. Students can have more time to explore their interests before committing to a specific subject. Apart from the academic achievements, various societies, where freshmen can meet like-minded friends, offer you chances to develop the extra-curricular interests in many fields. ⑤_______A. How can you choose a university?B. You have to first think of various aspects.C. What should you prepare before going to university?D. You can thus equip yourself with enough academic knowledge.E. Besides, it is a great honor to be admitted into such a university.F. In one sense, the university can be a completely new world to explore.G. University provides the all-important stepping stone for your future life.三、完形填空6.My nephew's 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot July weekend.

Rob and Sally,Time flies, especially when it’s a good time!I’m now back in Brisbane, refreshed after a sound sleep.We came to the moment when we had to say good-bye to eachother before I actually realized it. The moment I reached your home, I couldn’t help associating your living surroundings with a beautiful garden in our country where many people (especially senior citizens) flock to relax or exercise. But actually in China it seems like a dream for people to have such a habitat, with countless trees, flowers and various grass surrounding. Honestly, I can remember that I have only ever read about it in a fairy tale.To you, my friend, I owe a great debt of heartfelt appreciation for not only providing us with an excellent exploration of quite a different exotic culture and specific customs, but also presenting us a feast for our eyes, allowing us to learn a lot from you---- the true love between you and Sally, our friendly hostess; fine qualities of hard work and kindness; considerate care and help for others, just to name a few.Thanks for the many times you took trouble to take us to and pick us from lots of different places---shopping centres, schools, and some scenic spots. And thank you for the delicious dishes you made for us. At each dinner, you always took into account Chinese flavour, which made us feel at home. The most impressive one is “Christmas pudding”, a mouth-watering dish that Sally elaborately made for us.And then comes the unforgettable occasion--- a night club in another town, through which we learned a lot about a typical Aussie life. It is really, really a dream place for elderly people to while away the time. From the figure games, from the stage performance, from the smiles, from the laughter, from the whistles, applause, etc, it takes little mental labour for us to find what a happy life you were living. I nearly could not hide my jealousy.Before I come to the end of my email, I’d like to say to you, my friends, Rob and Sally, that more walking less driving; more fruit less cigarettes; more leisure less work, and you’ll make more out of life and enjoy more of life.It’s really an experience I’ll treasure forever.Looking forward to hearing from you soon.Waiting to see our pictures.YoursWhisky36. Which of the following can not be used to describe Rob and Sally?A. considerateB. friendlyC. hard-workingD. modest37. The writer writes to thank Rob and Sally for the following except_______.A. providing an excellent exploration of many thingsB. an unforgettable visit to another townC. delicious dishes like “Chinese pudding”D. the trouble they took to help the writer learn.38.

The writer had a good time with Rob and Sally when they were together.B. They enjoyed many delicious Chinese dishes.C. Many things left a deep impression on the writer.D. The writer appreciated the way people there lived.BMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.40. The purpose of an allowance is _________.A. help children learn from experience early before financial mistakes are costly.B. let children buy what they wantC. let them learn the value of moneyD. help children learn to save at an early age41. What should parents be sure about before an allowance is given?A. what their children is expected to buy with the moneyB. how much money should be given as an allowanceC. whether their children has a budget for the allowanceD. whether their children are in need of the money42. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. The amount of money that parents give to their children.B. How often they should give their children an allowance.C. Spending must be done within a budget.D. The more work they do at home, the more allowance they will receive.43. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Children should be paid for what they do at home.B. It is children’s responsibility to help parents with housework.C. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.D. Children can’t spend their allowance as they like.CSolar water heaters are used around the world and are not very difficult to build. The system we are going to describe is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. Since then, it has been built and used in many countries.It can heat 70 liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average air temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.There are 2 parts to the solar water heater. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. Black surfaces become hotter in the sun than surfaces painted any other color. This black metal plate is called a collector. The collector is placed in contact with the water. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Corrugated metal will work very well. Corrugated sheets are often used as roofs on housing. Once the water is heated, it is kept hot with insulation material. This allows the water to staywarm for a long time.The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank can be a container that holds about 100 liters. Two rubber pipes are attached to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the system. The other lets water flow out.When the water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. You can use the hot water at the top of the tank for washing and cleaning. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired. This solar water heater is easy to build and operate. It will last about 2 years before the rubber pipes need to be replaced.There is also something else you will need to make the solar water heater work -- the sun. As you might expect, the heater will heat water only on sunny days.44. Which of the following is not one of the advantages of a solar water heater?A. It is easy to build and operate.B. It can hold a lot of water and keep water warm for a long time.C. It depends on weather condition.D. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired.45. The part of the heater named a sheet of metal is painted blackbecause_____.A. it becomes hotter in the sun than surfaces painted any other color.B. it looks more beautiful.C. it is easier to paint it black.D. it doesn’t need to be cleaned any more.46. Where do you think the passage is from?A. a story bookB. a news paperC. a scientific magazineD. a website47. The main method that the writer chooses to describe in the passage is to use _________.A. experimentsB. figuresC. storiesD. theoriesDA milestone on my life journeyI could see the mountain ranges lying in the east, while I was standing on the corridor. They are thinly blanketed with fog, featuring that it seems like aromantic picture to my eyes. The scene reminds me of a milestone on my life journey. I walked through that milestone through challenges in one winter. It was also a test for my perseverance and determination.If I thought of that trip, the first person I saw in mind is my uncle who took me along with him to be able to set a new milestone on my journey of life. One fine winter morning, he dropped in at my house and asked me how much perseverance I could exert in practice. I was annoyed of being asked such a question. He smiled at me and continued that there would be a test for my perseverance if I was willing to take part in. Without second thought, I accepted his challenge.Then, I was taken to the foot of the mountain ranges and my uncle asked me if I was ready to take the test or not. A nod was an answer. Then, we started walking up along the mountain ranges. For first few mountain ranges, I seemed okay walking on a narrow lane up to the top of the mountain, but soon I found my strength was instantly wearing out. However, I had to keep on walking up as I had no choice.As soon as I stepped on the top of the mountain, I saw another mountain range there. Gradually my excitement declined and all I dreamed of at that time was a nice bed of mine at home. The more I walked on, the heavier my body was. I deeply came to know about the force of gravity. I wanted to give up my attempt of walking. But I saw my uncle’s face in my mind. I held up my head high again to reach my destination. The whole body was soaked with sweat while carrying a burden of beans along with me. I made up my mind not to think of too much. I tried to balance my steps on a narrow lane through the mountain ranges.I tried to carry my heavy body till I could see a pagoda at the peak of the mountain. It was the last mountain range. Air flowed out through my ears. I was too tired! I found myself crawling on a narrow lane to get there. At last, I reached my destination. A delight of conquering myself rolled up. I lay down at the bottom of the pagoda, smiling and watching at the highest point of the pagoda.48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “exert”?A. useB. getC. growD. borrow49. How did the writer feel at the end of the trip?A. a sense of prideB. a sense of confidenceC. a sense of conqueringD. a sense of achievement50.The passage mainly tells us that_______________.A.

ANo trip to Windsor could possibly be completewithout a visit to amazing Windsor Castle,the family hometo British kings and queens for over 1,000 years.The size ofthe Castle is breath-taking.In fact,it is the largest and oldestoccupied castle in the world and it’s where Her Majesty The Queen chooses to spend most of her private weekends.You might even time your visit when she is inresidence!The marriage of Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle took place in Windsor on Saturday,19 May,2018.They became the sixteenth royal couple to celebrate their marriage at Windsor Castle since 1863.Windsor Castle offers something for everyone with so many areas to explore.Visit the magnificent State Apartments,furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection,including paintings by Rembrandt,Rubens and Canaletto.Take in the splendor of St George’s Chapel,location of the wedding of Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle,the burial place of 10 Kings including Henry Ⅷ and Charles Ⅰ,and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England.Be amazed at Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House,the largest,most beautiful and most famous dolls’ house in the world,created in the 1920s and filled with thousands of objects made by leading craftsmen,artists and designers of the time.Imagine being entertained by royalty in the Semi-State Rooms,the spectacular private apartments open to visitors from September to March each year.Richly decorated,they are used by The Queen for hosting her guests.21.What do we know about Windsor Castle?A.The Queen seldom lives in Windsor Castle.B.Tourists are not allowed to visit the Castle if The Queen is there.C.Windsor Castle has witnessed many royal weddings.D.Windsor Castle is the oldest castle in the world.22.What can we see in Windsor Castle every day?A.Famous paintings by great artists.B.Beautiful dolls created in the 19th century.C.The wedding place of 10 Kings.D.The place where The Queen entertains her guests.23.What is an architect most likely to visit?A.State Apartments.B.St George’s Chapel.C.Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House.D.Semi-State Rooms.24.Where does The Queen get together with her guests?A.In the magnificent State Apartments.B.In the splendor of St George’s Chapel.C.In Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House.D.In the Semi-State Rooms.B(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.”This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organises the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to aclose.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give yourtime,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freelylike to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?25.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?A.She knows little about the club.B.She isn’t good at sports.C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.26.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Encourage teamwork.B.Appeal to feelings.C.Promote good deedsD.Provide advice. 27.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A.She gets interested in lacrosse.B.She is proud of her kids.C.She’ll work for another season.D.She becomes a good helper.28.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A.It gives her a sense of duty.B.It makes her very happy.C.It enables her to work hard.D.It brings her material rewards.CBob was born in Cambridge.When he was in elementary school,he asked his mother to take him to parks in their community so he could collect empty soda cans to recycle.His mother agreed,as long as he saved part of the money he earned for college.Bob’s mother remembers Bob as the most determined of her seven kids.Bob’s hard work paid off.On Friday,he will become the first person in his family,originally from El Salvador,to graduate from college.And he’s graduating with university honours.For his honours thesis(毕业论文) he researched unmanned solar-powered(太阳能) airplanes,which BYU students have been building and testing for about 10 years.Bob’s study helps discover the best way to fly a solar-powered airplane so that it uses the least amount of power.The goal is to design and build an airplane that flies uncertainly.Bob’s thesis helps lay the basis for this work.“My parents were always hard-working,” Bob said.“They often tell us hard work leads to success.” Bob’s father taught him to read at the age of 3,and his mother is now a student at Utah Valley University on the way to becoming a dentist.Bob recognised he overcame some obstacles(障碍)to get where he is.For starters,English is his second language.He also faced stereotypes(模式化的形象).Although Bob never doubted that he would be a college graduate,other people believed he wouldn’t because he didn’t come from a family of high income.There were other obstacles as well,but Bob viewed them all as opportunities.Bob’s mother says she feels very happy and proud that her son is about to graduate with honours,and remembers the effort he’s made to get there.“He has worked very hard.He started something,and now he has finished it,” Cathy says.“I have always told him,‘If this is your dream,then you can get it!Keep working hard and you can get it!’”29.What do we know about Bob’s honours thesis?A.It makes his mother feel surprised.B.It helps to save the power of flying asolar-powered airplane.C.It is done with BYU students.D.It doubts the way of flying a solar-powered airplane.30.What did Bob do according to the passage?A.He researched unmanned solar-powered airplanes for 10 years.B.He paid for all his study by collecting empty soda cans.C.He worked hard and has graduated from college.D.He was affected by his family and has made some achievements.31.Why did people think Bob couldn’t graduate from college?A.His parents had little money to support him.B.His teacher didn’t think he could graduate.C.He didn’t work hard on his study.D.He didn’t dare to face the obstacles for short of confidence.32.What can be inferred from the text?A.Bob’s mother is on the way to becoming a dentist.B.Bob’s mother works in their community.C.Bon’s father will graduate from Utah Valley University on Friday.D.Bob’s father learnt to read at the age of 3.DGoogle’s new camera,called Clips,is a small,smartdevice.It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子),but it’s notdesigned to be worn on your clothing.Most interestingly,it usesartificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so itcan capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera,with a three-hourbattery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness,is intended for candidmoments,like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device,it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes.Those algorithms include face recognition.“Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently,it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne,the device’s product manager.And they also want it to recognise facial expressions,which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”.The Google team also trained it to recognise what not to shoot —like when a child’s hand is over the lens,or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone,as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange?Yes,Payne admitted.But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is.A green light on the front signals that it is on.Besides,unlike a camera meant to monitor your home,it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced.” Payne said,noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device of this size.Going forward,we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.33.What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A.It is equipped with tough glass.B.It enables the easy Internet access.C.It allows of hands-free photography.D.It can be worn on your clothing.34.What does the underlined word “candid” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Short.B.Touching.C.Unforgettable.D.Embarrassing.35.What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A.The popularity of the Internet.B.The advance in technology.C.The rise of the smartphone industry.D.The reduction in the price of lens.36.What is the best title for the text?A.A New Digital Camera from GoogleB.New Gadgets in the Age of AppsC.Artificial Intelligence in Everyday LifeD.An Alternative Way to Photography第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI ran into a local store today to pick up a few things. With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry , so I didn’t take a cart (手推车) on my way inside. As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby. I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line.While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously. The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier (收银员) for a job application.When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart b ecause they didn’t have enough money. But all their items were basic necessities(必需品) that they needed most. It just broke my heart to watch the couple try to think about what they could do without. However, they were able to whittle down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had.After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine. The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart. We put in their items and I hurried over to their car. “This is for you,〞 I told them.The young father just looked at me with such appreciation and thanked me. I will never forget the expression in his eyes. As I was getting into my car, they drove over. The young mother said, “Miss, thank you so much.〞Tears welled up in my eyes---as they are again now, while I write this. “You are so welcome. Pay it forward some day,〞 I replied.21. The underlined phrase “whittle down〞 in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________〞.A. add toB. break downC. cut downD. pay for22.

The author’s main purpose in sharing the story is to tell us __________.A. what a great plan she madeB. to take a cart while shoppingC. how to pick out basic necessitiesD. to help those who are in needBH.T.B.

Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while some seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I reallydidn’t try.〞What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.28. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Opinions about competition are different among people.B. Competition helps to set up self-respect.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.29. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It builds up a sense of duty.B. It pushes society forward.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.30. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail〞?A. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.B. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.31. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be paid back.C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.DBarack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father came to America from Kenya, which is a country in Africa. His parents, Ann and Barack, met when they were students at the University of Hawaii. Since Barack had the same name as his father, young Barack went by the nickname “Barry〞.In 1979, after he finished high school, Barry went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. There, he started to learn about his African roots and decided to use his African name, Barack.

_____________________________________________________________________阅读理解9、 When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria,people asked the obvious,“Why did she live to be 107?〞Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place,city living often provide s benefits thatcountry living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.This factor is exercise.in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯),and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find,there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.In fact,the opposite is often true.To go to school,work,or almost anywhere else,they must ride in cars.1.The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____.A.benefits of walkingB.occasions for walking in city lifeC ments made by city peopleD.problems of city living2.To reach the third floor of a building.it would probably be most healthful ____.A.to take the elevatorB.to walk up the stairsC.to ride in a carD.to find an alternative to walking3.People who live in the country probably do more driving than walkingbecause ______A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need the exerciseC.they never have parking problemsD.they can’t afford to take the bus4.A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _____.A.air pollution is not seriousB.anyone can live to be 107C.country people should move to the cityD.walking is a healthful exercise10、 How to say hello in Japanese depends on when you say it.This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night.In Japanese culture,it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting.We don't get formal with our close friends.We seldom greet them with “Good morning〞or“Good evening〞.A“Hi〞 is enough.Although the most popular and most well­known translation for“Hello〞is still“Konnichiwa〞,it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese.Perhaps it is not the most suitable word for it.Actually,the correct greeting in English for“Konnichiwa〞is“Good day〞or“Good noon〞,and I am sure you wouldn't like greeting people with a “Good day〞at any time,and neither do Japanese like saying“Konnichiwa〞w hen they want to say“Hello〞.So what to do? Let's do it the way the Japanese e “Ohaiyo Gozaimasu〞for“Good morning〞,“Konnichiwa〞when it's noon and“Konbanwa〞 to greet somebody in the afternoon.Things differ when you are on the phone.Justsay“Moshi,M oshi〞,which is actually similar to saying“Hello〞over the phone,because one hardly ever uses“Good morning〞or“Good afternoon〞or“Good evening〞 right after picking up the phone.It is invariably the sweet old“Hello〞.Next time,I'll tell something about my life in Japan.1.What is the best title for this passage?A.How to say hello in JapaneseB.How to greet close friends in JapaneseC.How to greet people in JapaneseD.Some differences between English and Japanese2.What does the underlined word“invariably〞in the third paragraph mean?A.Probably.B.Always.C.Sometimes.D.Likely.3.We can learn from the passage that the writer________.A.is from BritainB.lived in Japan for some timeC.is working in a radio station nowD.knows both Japanese and Chinese完形填空11、 People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. And in the 1 300 years, there were 2 many changes in 3 places that now people can 4 tell an English person 5 an American in the way he or she speaks.Many old words 6 in England but were kept in America. For example, 300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet〞, a “spigot〞, or a “tap〞. All these wordsare 7 heard in different parts of America, but only“tap〞is still common in 8 . Americans often made up new words or changedold 9 . “Corn〞 is one kind of plant in Americaand 10 in England.Also, over the last three centuries the Englishlanguage 11 thousands of new words for things that weren't known 12 . And often, American and English people usedtwo 13 names for them. A tin can is called “tin〞for short in England, but a “can〞in America. The word “radio〞 is 14 all over the world, including America. But many English people call it a “wireless〞.
