It is the most widely used language on the Internet and social media.The first English Language Day was the result of work by the United Nations. A few years ago,the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (the UNESCO) created Language Days for each of the U.N. 's six official languages. The aim was to celebrate the use of different languages around the world and in different cultures. Another goal was to campaign for equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations. The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.

But eight months ago our car was hit bya passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that,with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insura nce, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something muc h more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.1.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him2.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.3.What did the author suggest his daughter s do about their friends’ opinion?A.Argue against it.B.Take their advice.C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.4.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.4、On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southernKenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the pawprints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group ofwide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crow dKenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the "big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave theirland and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat toKenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.3.What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.People’s leaving their original homes.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife protection inKenyaB.Meeting a dangerous animalC.Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD.Learning to live with lions5、Abzu is a word from the oldest Sumerian(苏美尔人的) stories,coming from the words “ab(ocean)” and “zu(to know)”,Giant Squids a company of the US, has named its newly developed video game ABZU. ①__________In ABZU. players explore the ocean—a space that can be both strange and familiar at times. As the nameless divers, players explore the seas and see underwater life,②__________Players can press buttons to dive and travel around the seas. They can swim with fish. They can touch pools and awaken creatures such as sea turtles. Players can awaken more wildlife and make the waters richer with life.As they adventure through the ocean, players will discover more. ③__________The developers used real fish and sea life and made some of the animals' real-life behaviors in the game. If players are sitting above these shark statues,they’ll see this circle of life as one fish eats another. ④__________It is like watching a Discovery Channel nature show.Further into the game,players will discover broken underwater robots,and these robots will open the path for the divers. The developers let the environment tell the background story and players find out the other secrets themselves. ⑤__________Many have played ABZU so far. They think although the game is a short adventure,it holds the promise of being something more.A. They'll see shark statues.B. You need to pay for the game skills at first.C. They'll see cleaner fish feeding around a shark's mouth.D. At first, the game seems aimless as players wander the seas.E. It can be played on Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.F. Underwater games are always welcomed by many young people in the US.G. Gradually, they'll find underwater temples that hold the key to the main story.6、阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019高考英语二轮（文章题）训练（45）及解析根据短文内容，从短文后旳选项中选出能填入空白处旳最佳选项·选项中有两项为多余选项·Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have. 71 . Ideas about social class – whether a person is “working - class” or “middle - class”– are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth.He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house asa most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 72 . Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training）to make such long-term plans.73 . In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.74 .They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. 75 . As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.A．Nowadays, a great deal has changedB．Both of these provided him and his family with securityC．As a result, differences in life – styles and attitudes came into existenceD．However, we still have a wide gap between the well – paid and the low - paidE．In recent years, the working – class people have begun to design long – term plansF．In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concernedG．The changes in both life – styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people参考答案71.

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（九）1、A Competitive SportCheerleadingOver th e years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time che erleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?A.To compare skills of participants.B.To make the audience feel amused.C.To attract more people to watch events.D.To cheer up the competitors on the court.2.The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A.examinebineC.identifyD.replace3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.cks necessary guidelines to followB.enjoys greater popularity than other sportsC.requires more designed actions than gymnasticsD.has a relatively high rate of damage to the body4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.2、San Francisco Fire Engine ToursSan Francisco Winery TourRunning: February 1st through April 30thThis delicious tour goes through the city on its way to Treasure Island where we will stop at the famous Winery SF.

But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.Researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants —those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says, "One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions. So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the field. ”Mr. Reganold says poor soils may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter. They're not putting in fertilizers. They can't afford those things. And it just runs the soil down. So they’re worsening the situation."The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize(玉米), millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perennation.“She’s a grandmother in her fifties. Her name is Rhoda Mang yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago. And her yields initially were about a ton of maize. Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare,four times what she was getting."1.The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.tell people how to increase productionB.introduce an agricultural system in AfricaC.introduce the oldest farming method in AfricaD.tell us how to prevent soils from being poor2.What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Being exposed to wind and rain.B.Growing different crops.C.Being polluted severely.D.Being ploughed improperly.3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Perennation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.B.Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.C.Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.D.American researchers first invented perennation.4.Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang'yana?A.To show the method is very popular in Africa.B.Because she is an expert at farming production.C.To prove the farming method is effective.D.Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.4、One of the first signs visitors encounter at most museums is “Please do not touch the exhibits”. However, at the new Hoy toca el Prado exhibition at Madrid s Museo Nacional Del Prado, the officials don’t just encourage the habit, they insist upon it. That's because this unique art display has been specially created to enable visually impaired visitors to experience the joy of the works of some of the world s most famous artists just like able-bodied people can.The three-dimensional(三维的) masterpieces are the brainchild of Estudios Durero,a graphics art. The creators began by taking high resolution images of the original works. They then used a special ink to add different 3-D textures(手感) to the paintings. This allows blind visitors to feel features like hair, skin, cloaks, etc. so that they can create a visual image of what the art looks like in their minds.Since the blind can see some colors,equal emphasis was given to the colors in the paintings. Braille(盲文) text carved on the wall next to each exhibit allows visitors to get more information about the picture, while an audio guide completes the incredible journey!Though there are a few other museums that have special exhibits for the blind,the Museo Nacional Del Prado is the world s first major museum to create one with versions of their most famous masterpieces. As to why it has taken so long for the 200-year-old institution to come up with this brilliant concept, Fernando Perez,the museum s keeper says it is not due to lack of interest, but a lack of resources. Perez explains, “There are now new technologies to provide solutions that were previously not possible,such as the paints in relief. 3-D impressions, and Apps.

2019届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（五）1、While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings inChina such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts,manyexcellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,wonthe 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize inarchitecture—on February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Manyvisitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked theworkers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors.Thiscreation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledgeof traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,saidTadao Ando,the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums."That is onlyevidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition meansold things from the past.In fact,tradition also refers to the things that have been developingand that are still being created, " he said."Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather thanfocusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowingwhat they really are," said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise,the recreation oftraditions would be artificial and empty,he said.1.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A.following the latest world trendB.getting international recognitionC.working harder than ever beforeD.relying on foreign architects2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A.Its hilly environment.B.Its large size.C.Its unique style.D.Its diverse functions.3.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A.The mixture of different shapes.B.The balance of East and West.C.The use of popular techniques.D.The harmony of old and new.4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A.Spread them to the world.B.Preserve them at museums.C.Teach them in universities.D.Recreate them in practice.2、Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the lone term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls (头骨) and think of what s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.1.What is Scientist B worried about?A.AI technology will destroy the earth.B.Robots will take the place of humans.puters can’t think by themselves.D.Humans will be unhappy without machines.2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B.We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.D.“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.3.Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A.The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.B.Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.C.“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D.All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.4.Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A.Scientist A.B.Scientists B &C.C.C. Scientist B.D.Scientists B & A.3、In today’s global world, more and more people travel to foreign countries. Cross cultural awareness and an understanding of foreign etiquette is important if you want to succeed as an international business person. Behaviour that is polite at home may be considered rude in another country. In particular, by learning about dining etiquette and table manners, you can avoid offending people and this can directly influence your business success.John Smith’s book The Perfect Guest is a goldmine of inf ormation for the globe - trotting business person. There are chapters dedicated to all the main problem areas of dining etiquette and entertaining in different countries and tips on how to cope with embarrassing situations.These are some of the areas which are covered in the book.Seating arrangementsWhether you are eating at a restaurant or at someone’s home, there may be a fixed protocol of who sits where. Do men and women sit together? Is there a hierarchy according to age or status? Rules vary greatly. For example, inKorea, it is customary to offer the best seat to the most senior person; in theUS, there are no specific seating rules. If you don’t know where to sit, wait until your host shows you.ConversationIs the dining table the right place to have a conversation or is the meal taken in silence? In France, for instance, the meal is a social affair with loud animated conversations and most topics are acceptable, including business. In Japanor Vietnam, on the other hand, only quiet conversation is acceptable and business is never conducted at the dinner table.FoodWhat type of food is popular? Is it polite to remark on the food? Should you eat everything or leave some food on your plate? Is it polite to ask for the salt an d pepper if it isn’t on the table? And how can you deal with a food delicacy that you find disgusting? In Europe, it is polite to eat everything on your plate whereas this would be considered rude in Egypt. If you clean your plate, it will be filled up again immediately.1.Who is most likely to find the information useful?A.A business person.B.A scientist.C.A student.D.A soldier.2.When you are a guest in the US, where should you sit?A.In the best seat.B.Where your host shows you to sit.C.Wherever you like.D.Next to the senior.3.You leave food on your plate in Egypt ________.A.to show that you have eaten enoughB.so that there arc leftovers for the catC.to show that you don’t like the foodD.but it is considered rude4.The passage mainly tells us _______.A.cross cultural dining etiquetteB.cultural differences around the worldC.how to improve cultural awarenessD.why the book is worth buying4、Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.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。

2019 届高考英语二轮考点解析卷（一）1、 "Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher." You might think thatWinston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professorat Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years MarchCpossibly thewisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:"Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning fr experience involves( 涉及 ) serious complications( 复杂化 ),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself andwhich March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the mosteffective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of thecomplicated truth of things. He says,‘‘ The more精确地accurately)realit is( presented,the less understandable thestory; and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth ofviews he offers and the simple language he uses.

Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.1.According to the text,James March is _________.A.a poet who uses experience in his writingB.a teacher who teaches story writing in universityC.a researcher who studies the way humans think and actD.a professor who helps organizations make important decisions2.According to James March, experience ________.A.is overvaluedB.is easy to explainC.should be actively soughtD.should be highly respected3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Experience makes stories more accurate.B.Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.C.The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.D.Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.4.What ’ s the purpose of this text?A.To introduce a book.B.To describe a researcher.C.To explain experiential learning.D.To discuss organizational decision making.2、The Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home inAlaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting,“ Dad! The bear is right behindivebearus!will”usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent andits ears pinned back---- the sign( 迹象 ) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bearbehaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod( 三脚架 ) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head waslevel with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supportingits weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand littlechance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightlyon the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouthand I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, assuddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for anotherattack— The first time I felf panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My armwas injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have b een better.

However, a group ofsenior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’ s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票 ) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a culturalconflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the UnitedStates.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulationsseem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New YorkPark found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view suchnoise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way tosolve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place,they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nationsare often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people dancing is only’ s lives. Square one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement.

For 28-year-old Kristen Alice, it happens to begarbage. The eco-friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles andcandy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generatedon a daily basis. The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages intobeautiful garments.Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming. However,she only made it to test her creativity.The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture( 企业 ) until she spent a week working atCouture Fashion Week in New York City. There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(复古的) looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm. She began by creating a line of 12 garbage-inspired dresses. They were a huge success.Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety ofdresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns( 礼服 ). Kristen,of course,doesn’ t search garbage cans for her material anymore. Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning tothrow away the extras.However, if you think the garbage-inspired dresses come cheap, think again. The price for readymade creationsretails( 零售 ) from $ 500 to $ 1,500. Though that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers. In fact, she now even has garbage-inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and evenboard shorts!

If the people who lived here2,000years ago had only a simple technology,how did they manage to construct such precise figures?Did they have a plan?These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world.There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt,Malta,United States(Mississippi and California),Chile,Holivia and in other countries.But the Nazca geoglyphs,because of their numbers,characteristics,dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period,form the most impressive archeological(考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it,due to the combination of the climate(one of the driest on Earth,with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year)and the flat,stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode(腐蚀)it,lines drawn here tend to stay drawn.These factors,combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface,provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.2.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.3.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.4.What does the underlined word“eternal”probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.2、Camp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star,your No.1summer sports camp for kids!Located on the famous Kents Hill School campus by the beautiful lake,Camp All-Star hosts kids from around the world.When thinking about your next overnight summer camp,consider the best—Camp All-Star!Great Sports Summer Camps for KidsCamp All-Star stands out among the successful camps in theU.S.We have the best sports fields and courts to make your child’s sports camp experience a successful one.Your child can enjoy playing for hours in any of our more than30sports and activities each day.Our camper to staff rate is three to one,which makes it possible for children to receive more careful instruction.We have a wide variety of activities and sports to choose from:fishing,dance,basketball,soccer,baseball, and tennis.Boys and girls,aged8-16,can customize their own schedules in our2,3,4or6week summer camp session for kids.The aim of Camp All-Star is to develop athletic skills,encourage abilities in leadership,fair play and team work,and provide a fun,rewarding and memorable summer sports camp experience.Our staff have the experience and qualified training necessary to ensure that your child has a successful,memorable and enjoyable time at our summer camp.Call Today About Our Overnight Summer Camps for KidsDon’t let your kids waste another summer playing video games and sitting around.Let them enjoy their time and get some exercise at our exciting and friendly summer sports rmation for our upcoming camps can be found on our website.For additional information or questions,contact us today.We hope your kids can join us at Camp All-Star!1.Camp All-Star stands out among the others because it______.A.is surrounded by a beautiful lakeB.provides various activities and sportsC.offers timely information on its websiteD.allows children to play outside all day long2.One of the goals of Camp All-star is to______.A.fire kids’imaginationB.build up kids’confidenceC.develop kids’leadership skillsD.promote kids’self-control3.This advertisement is intended for______.A.parentsB.coachesC.staffD.Campers3、Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别)equality in the workplace has come,there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world.A2018statistic shows that women nowadays hold just5.8percent of CEOs positions at S&P500companies,according to Catalyst. While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions,what is surprising though,is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area,at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research,Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed(调查)2,900managers with a special focus on personality types.The results were clear:Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders—probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice,which is more typical of men than women—this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting,openness,sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women,though,and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress.The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously,it’s important to consider individual(个人的)differences.Anyone,regardless of gender,may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss.So next time you’re hiring for a management position,you just might want to give the resumes(简历)from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word‘‘inherently”in paragraph4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.4、In ancient Egypt,a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods.For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section.They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip.In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe,bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides,businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping,so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods,too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses,businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door,and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house,the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows,and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these$10million houses.1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2.According to Paragraph3,which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers'taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.5、How to Excel in Poetry WritingIf you are serious about your poetry,then you should consider the suggestions presented here.①__________Many poets have also used these tips to make poetry publishing possible in their life.
