A(2019山东济宁质检,B)When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.”At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, fromsix-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病), whose story inspired thousands of people to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when Grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). We're all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don't even have to becollege-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, and the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organization,one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you've got a dollar, there's plenty to share.”1.What did the author want to do at a young age?A.Watch TV.B.Grow up quickly.C.Become wealthy.D.Help other children.2.What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?A.A six-year-old kid's request.B.Her grandmother's death of cancer.C.Many volunteers' inspiration.D.Other organizations' encouragement.3.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A chance.B.A task.C.A life.D.An organization.答案[语篇解读]文章介绍了作者从小立志要帮助其他孩子,在祖母去世后,作者成立了CLF帮助身边的人。

2020届高考英语专练之自我检测（二）1、Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-trotting adventure.Sri Lanka---Alison Hanko, Global Marketing DirectorI’m going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can’t wait. It’s close to Hong Kong where I live and I’ve always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We’ve booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my swimming suit. It’s also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.Japan---Ben Barras, Creative DirectorJapan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fascinating. It’s where I’m most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but a lso visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven’t done for years.I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it’s compact, but still fits plenty in. I’ll pair that up with a larger trav el bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.Berlin---Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global DesignFor me, it’s definitely Berlin. I’m particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art gall eries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I’ve heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I’m going to suck as much as I can out of it. World’s Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I’m going to follow that through as well.Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It’s the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It’s normally my go-to bag for city trips because it’s super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it’s just the right amount of space.1.Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?A.The Quiksilver 40L Pack.B.The Vibe 25L Backpack.C.The Quiksilver X Collab Bag.D.25L Anti-theft Backpack.2.If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose?A.Sri Lanka.B.Japan.C.Berlin.D.Hong Kong.3.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.share personal travelling experiencesB.offer practical tips on taking adventureC.present cultures in different countriesD.recommend favorable travel destinations2、Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, "Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.""People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention," Coker said on the university's website. "Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率)," he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online," said Coker. "That's not always a good idea."However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation(适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office."Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without," he said.(1).What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?A.Watching videos.B.Reading online news.C.Reading online novels.D.Playing online games.(3).The underlined word "block" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A.stopanizeC.protectD.separate(4).What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.3、It probably won’t surprise yo u that teens are texting more than ever before. Experts show great concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying, exercising, pursuing hobbies, or talking with others face to face. Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can—and should—turn off their phones sometimes. She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out an experiment. They should obey the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. Would these two teenagers be able to do it?“ I think I’m going to feel really alone,” Kenny worried. Franchesca was nervous but brave. “I’m excited for the challenge,” she said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping. The challenge was on.The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone-free hours. “Wow, it was pure suffering,” Kenny joked. “Though life with no phone wasn’t easy,” he admitted, “it had benefits. I felt less stres sed because I didn’t have to be involved.” Sure, Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting, Kennywent to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours. He also spent time sitting with his family and talking. “I felt closer to my parents,” said Kenny.Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. “I loved it!” she said. “I was going to the gym and hanging out with fri ends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think I’ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained. “Everybody in the world should try it.”Kenny doesn’t plan to give up his phone again. But he now knows that he can live without it. “It was a reality check,” said the teen.1.Experts are concerned about teens’ texting because it ______.A.leads to learning disabilitiesB.takes up their learning timeC.develops the habit of staying up lateD.causes misunderstandings with each other2.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Teens will live a healthier life without phones.B.Expecting teens to live without phones is not realistic.C.Experimenting with phone use is popular among teens.D.Teens don’t realize how different their lives are without phones.3.How were the two teens’ reactions to the 48-hour challenge different?A.Only Kenny participated in physical activities.B.Only Kenny spent time talking with his parents.C.Only Franchesca benefited from a really good sleep.D.Only Franchesca appreciated the freedom of having no phone.4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Giving up TextingB.Rules for Using PhonesC.Two Days with No PhoneD.Problems Caused by Texting4、Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.In 2014, Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village. "I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin," said Lakhani. "It's difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $1.50 every day, you won't spend $1 on a bar ofsoap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don't stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don't really understand where diseases come from, they don't know how to prevent them, including using soap."After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap. "They were all eager to help," he explained.Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 35 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene (卫生) has been improved for about 661,000 people. "We are killing three birds with one stone," Lakhani said.When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said, "We've just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We're looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future."(1).Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don't use soap?A.Poverty.B.Inaccessibility.C.Unawareness.D.Tradition.(2).What does the underlined part "killing three birds" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.B.Stopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring donation.C.Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.D.Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.(3).What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?A.It won't be long before it expands to the whole world.B.There's little it can do without other countries' assistance.C.It will make greater contributions to the developing world.D.It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.(4).What do we know about the text?A.Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.B.Cambodian women have a bright future.C.A US young man calls for helping poor countries.ck of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.5、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。

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to anearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch：6 pm. I was two hours late!I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all."A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark.

You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”.But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark. You can't walk back. " I begged .My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down. and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way,telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced.However it was also the most successful lesson.【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。

2020届高三英语专项练习专题二：阅读理解说明类专练第I卷（选择题）（每题2分，共30分）一．阅读理解A（考点17较易）In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.1.The word‘punctual’ most probably means________.考点17 易A.leaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD.being on time2.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?考点17 易A.He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.B.He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.3.It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that __________.考点17 易A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time4.What is the main idea of this passage?考点17 易A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.B（考点17中难）Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanecoin Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, witha question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.5.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?考点17 易A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.6.Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?考点17 易plex.B.advanced.C.powerful.D.modern.7.What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.考点17 易B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.C（考点17中难）Australia,the last continent,was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century, these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony(殖民地)than in exploring(勘探)it.As in the early history of the United States,it was the English who set up the settlements(新拓展地 ) in Australia.This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.Australia and the United States are about the same in size,and their western lands are both not rich in soil.It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west.However,this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing.Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849and in Australia two years later.Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common,these are some striking differences as well.The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war.Australia, unlike the United States,was firstly turnedinto a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.By 1922,for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people,or almost half as many sheep as the people there in the United States.Yet,in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.8.Who turned Australia into a colony?考点17 易A.BritainB.Several European countries.C.The United States of America.D.None of the above.9.In the early history of America and Australia,both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that______考点17 易A.the population was increasing rapidly in the eastB.the English thought there might be richer land thereC.gold was discovered thereD.fewer people lived there10.In the early 1920s______考点17 易A.Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheepB.there were more sheep in Australia than in the United StatesC.the population in Australia was greater than that of the United StatesD.the United States had twice as many sheep as people11.The last sentence in the last paragraph “Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most考点17 中难A.the United States and Australia do not have any main differencesB.the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countriesC.the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the worldD.in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differencesD（考点17易）Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254.

The solution, of course, is to go it alone.Melbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life.

Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers-perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality, which promotes equality among the sexes. Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Overall known for being very cheap, especially in the north, it's a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.BhutanBhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world. It is also home to the world's highest unclimbed peak,Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred（神圣的）and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour,where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide. Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004, it became the first country in the world to outlaw tobacco.Costa RicaCosta Rica is a great place if you're looking for adventure, with surfing, volcanoes and other recreational activities. You'll never get a chance to feel lonely because there's an abundance of exciting adventures to experience!
