When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello? " she called."Celia? Marie? "There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't onany of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily﹣wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends ﹣her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie's side, as she always did.Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意)down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie.They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.(1)What can be inferred about the island?________A It is very near the ocean.B It is a popular place for boating.C It is surrounded by thick forest.D It has never been reached by others..(2)Why did Lina get angry?________A Marie would not help row the boat.B Lina was left alone on theisland. C Marie didn't know how to row the boat. D Celia supported Marie in the disagreement..(3)What caused Lina to feel a chill?________A Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C The idea that no one would come to save her.D The drop in temperature as the sun went down..(4)Who pulled Lina out of the water?________A Marie's father.B Lina herself.C Marie.D Celia.4. 72 hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72﹣hour visa﹣free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let's start with the capital of China, Beijing Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", the Great Wall of China, The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well﹣preserved of all. Taking a one hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half﹣day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibitionspaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city's most well﹣preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing, apart from trying the city's best﹣known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China's eight great cuisines, Sichuan, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.(1)Which of the following is true about the Mutianyu Great Wall?________A It is the most well﹣preserved part of the Great Wall.B You can paint graffiti anywhere.C You need a half﹣day to get there.D It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014..(2)When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List?________A In 1950.B In 1987.C In 1998.D In 2014..(3)Which place is the authors first choice when visiting Beijing?________A Mutianyu Great Wall.B Summer Palace.C 798 Art Zone.D Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.5. Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people.Long﹣living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageoushad no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self﹣disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad﹣tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28, 000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break whenwe're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dyingyounger. Personality isn't destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.(1)The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is________.A to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeB to find out if one's lifestyle has any effect on their healthC to see whether people's personality affects their lifespan D to examine all the factors contributing to longevity.(2)What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?________A They are more likely to get over hardship.B They are better at negotiating an agreement.C They generally appear more resourceful.D They have a good understanding of evolution..(3)What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?________A Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary withtimes. B Easy﹣going people can also live a relatively long life. C Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity. D Such personality characteristics as self ﹣discipline have no effect on longevity..(4)What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?________A Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one's life span.B Health is in large part related to one's lifestyle.C Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.6. When most people think of the word, "brand", they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford "blue oval, " McDonalds Golden Arches, or the "State Farm is There" jingle. They know what they will get with a well branded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like "wellbuilt, comfortable, Swedish" and, most of all, "safety".So a brand is a lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it may sound, it isn't the "brand" in the true sense﹣and it certainly isn't what makes the brand valuable.A company's brand is a promise. It's a description of the company's character. To someextent, it's a mission; it's how the company creates and delivers value. Also, it's the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful, world﹣wide brands: The NFL: "To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no other." Coca﹣Cola: "To inspire moments of optimism and uplift." Virgin Atlantic: "To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price."Interesting. In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFL's brand promise says nothing about football. Coca﹣Cola doesn't talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin Atlantic's promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough. The promise along withlook, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽) of what I call "me"appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that patina. All of this can lead to sub﹣brands, like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币)carrier. It was given to kids and then they'd fill up its 50 slots (投币口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a ﹩5 bill.(1)What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?________A People tend to believe in top brands because they deliver what is promised.B Well branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.C Well branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.D A company shouldn't care about logos because they can't make the brand valuable..(2)In the author's opinion, a brand promise is________.A the contract between a company and the people who interact with itB the only way to build and maintain a great brand's valueC a description of what a company actually does for its consumersD an important factor contributing to the success of a brand.(3)According to the passage, what is probably "Virgin Atlantic"?________A A financial company.B A high﹣tech software product.C An airline company.D An entertainment product..(4)What can be inferred from the passage?________A Buying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.B Little things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.C Sub﹣brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.D Dime Savings Bank's dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.7. There is an English saying, "(1)_______" Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.(2)_______Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.(3)_______ If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.(4)_______(5)_______They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can surely last one's life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet.E. They have proved that laughter can really cure any disease if people keep a good state of mind.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35 分)第一节(15 分)8. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,你写信建议你的美国朋友George 参加中国日报(China Daily)专门为外国人举办的2018"最美中国"(Amazing China)手机摄影大赛.信的内容包括:1.作品内容要求;2.提交时间和方式;3.表示愿意提供帮助.注意: 1.词数不少于50;2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Dear George,________________________Yours,Li Hua第二节(20 分)9. 假设你是红星中学高三(1)班的学生李华.你班同学张强即将去国外读书,下面四幅图描述了同学们为他送行的过程,请根据图片的先后顺序用英语写一篇日记.注意:1.日记的开头已为你写好.2.词数不少于60.Monday,March 10 FineThis afternoon,________2020年北京市顺义区某校高考英语适应性试卷(7月份)答案1. importance,attending,includes,when,how,natural,packed,left,thinking,which2.

By the time she was 13, her company was worthmillions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could savekids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, shewas offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’sproduct—CanCandy.As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positiv e about what the future might bring.

C.Objective.D.Understandable.11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Returning to live with parents comes at a price.B.Parents are willing to receive their returning children.C.Flying the net is becoming popular at present.D.Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.DA company called Compass Pools has some good news for height and swimming enthusiasts. Recently,the company announced their novel design—a first of its kind 360-degree pool which is set to be placed on a skyscraper in London.The Infinity London will be the first and only building in the world to include this cutting-edge pool design.The pool will be laid on top of a 55-story skyscraper and will allow people to float over 200 meters above the London skyline with unobstructed(无障碍)views of the city.The entrance to the pool is hidden.People began to raise questions about how anyone would get inside the poo1.Compass Pools explains:“Swimmer s will access the pool through a rotating spiral(螺旋)staircase based on the door of a submarine,rising from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out.”But that is not the only unique technology of the poo1.The designers found a way to make sure the wind doesn't blow the water down to the streets.They included a built-in anemometer(风力计)to monitor the wind speed.It is linked to a computer-controlled building management system which will also take care of the temperature of the water.Alex Kemsley p romises that this unique pool will surpass everyone’s expectations.“Swimming in the SkyPool at The Shard,it's quite a strange feeling to have helicopters flying past at your level but this pool takes it a step further,”he says.“Putting your goggles(防水镜)on and with a 360-degree view of London from 220m up,it really will be something else—but it’s definitely not one for the acrophobic(恐高)!”While the exact date of the construction is not clear yet,if things go well,it may begin in 2020.The location has yet to be confirmed too.12.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.The Infinity London is the only building to swim in.B.Swimmers can enjoy the views of London in the poo1.C.The pool is located on the first floor of a skyscraper.D.Compass Pools has built many 360-degree pools in the world.13.What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The pool floor.B.A built-in anemometer.C.The door of a submarine.D.The entrance to the poo1.14.Who might not be suitable to swim in the SkyPool?A.People who enjoy flying.B.People who lose weight.C.People who fear heights.D.People who have poor sight.15.What can we know about the SkyPool at The Shard?A.It is not certain when people can swim in it.B.Its exact location of the construction is clear.C.Swimmers can expect its designs easily.D.It’s impossible to monitor the temperature of the water.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Celia had said.Marie was two years older than Lina,but she was a hopeless rower.That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie's side,as she always did.Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky,accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck,Lina's mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意)down her back.Suddenly,Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat,and inside it were Marie,Celia,and Marie's dad,who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached,they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and,without a word,hugged Celia and Marie.They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.(1)What can be inferred about the island?A.It is very near the ocean.B.It is a popular place for boating.C.It is surrounded by thick forest.D.It has never been reached by others.(2)Why did Lina get angry?A.Marie would not help row the boat.B.Lina was left alone on the island.C.Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D.Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.(3)What caused Lina to feel a chill?A.Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B.The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C.The idea that no one would come to save her.D.The drop in temperature as the sun went down.(4)Who pulled Lina out of the water?A.Marie's father.B.Lina herself.C.Marie.D.Celia.4.(6分)72 hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders.The Chinese government has permitted a 72﹣hour visa﹣free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US,France and Austria.Let's start with the capital of China,Beijing Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World",the Great Wall of China,The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well﹣preserved of all.Taking a one hour bus ride,Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half﹣day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city.Also,the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014.The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s,the art zone is home to various galleries,design studios,art exhibition spaces,fashionable shops and bars.You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex,feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing,the Summer Palace is by far the city's most well﹣preserved royal park.With its huge lake and hilltop views,the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings.The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing,apart from trying the city's best﹣known Peking duck,the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food.It offers one of China's eight great cuisines,Sichuan,which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.(1)Which of the following is true about the Mutianyu Great Wall?A.It is the most well﹣preserved part of the Great Wall.B.You can paint graffiti anywhere.C.You need a half﹣day to get there.D.It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014.(2)When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List?A.In 1950.B.In 1987.C.In 1998.D.In 2014.(3)Which place is the authors first choice when visiting Beijing?A.Mutianyu Great Wall.B.Summer Palace.C.798 Art Zone.D.Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.5.(8分)Why do some people live to be older than others?You know the standard explanations:keeping a moderate diet,engaging in regular exercise,etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)?Do some kinds of personalities lead to longerlives?A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing,more active and less neurotic (神经质的)than other people.Long﹣living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory:those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly,however,other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer.Those who were more self ﹣disciplined,for instance,were no more likely to live to be very old.Also,being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life,which might explain all those bad﹣tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life,you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately,another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious,depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults,which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn't destiny,and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.(1)The aim of the study in the Journal of the

well branded product or service as promised.Think of V olvo,for instance,and your first thoughts are probably something like "well built,comfortable,Swedish" and,most of all,"safety".So a brand is a lot more than a logo,icon,or slogan.Catchy as it may sound,it isn't the "brand" in the true sense﹣and it certainly isn't what makes the brand valuable.A company's brand is a promise.It's a description of the company's character.To some extent,it's a mission;it's how the company creates and delivers value.Also,it's the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders.Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises,which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it,here are some brand promises from three highly successful,world﹣wide brands:The NFL:"To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together,connecting them socially and emotionally like no other." Coca﹣Cola:"To inspire moments of optimism and uplift." Virgin Atlantic:"To be genuine,fun,contemporary,and different in everything we do at a reasonable price."Interesting.In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide.The NFL's brand promise says nothing about football.Coca﹣Cola doesn't talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world.And Virgin Atlantic's promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough.The promise along with look,personality,time,money,and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽)of what I call "me" appeal,showing my personal appetite.Apple has that patina.All of this can lead to sub﹣brands,like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things.TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars.It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes.Years ago,Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币)carrier.It was given to kids and then they'd fill up its 50 slots (投币口)with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a ﹩5 bill.(1)What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?A.People tend to believe in top brands because they deliver what is promised.B.Well branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.C.Well branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.D.A company shouldn't care about logos because they can't make the brand valuable.(2)In the author's opinion, a brand promise is.A.the contract between a company and the people who interact with itB.the only way to build and maintain a great brand's valueC.a description of what a company actually does for its consumersD.an important factor contributing to the success of a brand(3)According to the passage,what is probably "Virgin Atlantic"?A.A financial company.B.A high﹣tech software product.C.An airline company.D.An entertainment product.(4)What can be inferred from the passage?A.Buying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.B.Little things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.C.Sub﹣brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.D.Dime Savings Bank's dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.7.(10分)There is an English saying,"(1)" Until recently,few people took the saying seriously.Now however,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.(2)Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart,blood pressure,breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.(3)If laughter exercises the body,it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.(4)(5)They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A.Laughter can surely last one's life.B.As a result of these discoveries,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics,in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.C.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.D.It increases blood pressure,makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper;it also works several groups of muscles in the face,the stomach,and even the feet.E.They have proved that laughter can really cure any disease if people keep a good state ofmind.F.Laughter is the best medicine.G.They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35 分)第一节(15 分)8.(15分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,你写信建议你的美国朋友George 参加中国日报(China Daily)专门为外国人举办的2018"最美中国"(Amazing

that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared.Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello?" she called."Celia?Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now,shedding light on the island.They had always called it "Forgotten Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence.It wasn't on any of the maps they could find,and even the forest rangers didn't know about it.Lina loved that the island,hidden in a heavily﹣wooded side stream of the river,was a secret between the three friends ﹣her,Celia,and Marie.But now Lina was here alone,and it was night.Worse still,it was her own fault."Come on,Lina,let Marie row the boat." Celia had said.Marie was two years older than Lina,but she was a hopeless rower.That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie's side,as she always did.Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky,accompanied by a deafening thunderclap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck,Lina's mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意)down her back.。
