I had reduced my backpack down to only essentials.It was laundry day in the mid-sized Indonesian city I happened to be in, meaning I was down to my last shirt, the least flattering shirt of my seven-day collection: a ratty conference T-shirt of a well-known American company I'd worn a hundred times. It was a shirt I didn't feel particularly flattering in, so I tried to stay indoors and used it as an opportunity to have a quiet, indoor day.I hadn't thought anything of the shirt until a young Indonesian man staying at my guest house saw me and immediately took notice of the logo of my ratty shirt. He was fascinated by it!“Where did you get this shirt? Did you go to this conference? I love this company! I wish I could buy this here in Indonesia.” I was moved by the idea that something I found so useless and unflattering could be valued so much by someone else. Without giving it another thought, I took off the ratty old shirt and gave it to him on the spot, leaving me shamelessly shirtless for the rest of laundry day, but content that I had found a better owner for my shirt.A month later, I was still traveling, with six shirts instead of seven, yet still rich in my items and with a fuller heart.1.The u nderlined word “essentials” in Paragraph 1 means . ( )A.difficultiesB.necessitiesC.differencesD.preferences2.What did the author plan to do on the first laundry day? ( )A.Attended a conference.B.Visited the company.C.Walked around the city.D.Stayed in the house.3.How did the author think of his ratty shirt before he met the young man? ( )eless.B.Fascinating.C.Special.D.Valuable.4.Why did the author feel satisfied? ( )A.Because he helped the young man.B.Because he sold his ratty shirt.C.Because he traveled for a long time.D.Because his shirt would be valued.Passage 2Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be.Sometimes,people finally get hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need.They care about their own needs much more,which makes it hard for friendships to work.However,being selfish is part of human nature.A person is put together in order to take care of themselves and their own needs,not necessarily those needs of other people.Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with,it is something that everyone should be against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship,because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship.Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend,it iseasy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends,or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships.It is important to know how to deal with these problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.No one wants to have a broken friendship.5.According to the writer,problems with friendships may appear when . ( )A.one is honestB.one is selfishC.one is openD.one is kind6.According to the passage,the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is .( )A.to treat your friends as you like to be treatedB.to give your friends whatever you haveC.not to hurt your friends' feelingsD.not to think of your own need any more7.What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems? ( )A.To have a comfortable life.B.To build stronger and healthier friendships.C.To be treated the way you want.D.To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.8.The passage mainly talks about . ( )A.the importance of friendshipsB.the advantages of friendshipsC.the problems of friendshipsD.the disadvantages of friendships【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文介绍的是美国的一位爱心小姑娘与国际慈善组织“爱之锁”的故事。

That night, my car crashed 1 a tree and everything has changed ever since.I lost most of my right 2 , and I was left bleeding with several broken bones. At the hospital, my body was 3 , but my mind was still very clear. I just kept 4 myself to hold on. Life must go on since I was still 5 .Two weeks later, I was allowed to go home. 6 I left the hospital, the fight was far from over. My left leg was badly hurt in that accident as well.As a result, I had to receive different 7 during the next few years. And soon, more of my right leg had to be cut off. This made it harder to wear my artificial leg(假肢),so I donated it to another girl who couldn't 8 one.

The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages: many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it.Google's 2018 Endangered(濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload(上传) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes(部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “spread the word” to save the word.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”1.UNESCO holds IMLD every year in order to help people to .A.learn and use endangered languagesB.show their talents in learning languagesC.practise reading skills of mother languagesD.realize the situation of endangered languages2.What did people do in Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project?A.Discuss how to make good use of Google.B.Offer online courses on endangered languages.C.Share materials about endangered languages online.D.Translate endangered languages into mother languages.3.What does the underlined word “revive” mea n in Paragraph 4?A.创造B.学习C.复活D.清除4.What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 5?A.It is more difficult to protect endangered languages.B.The disappearance of languages has already stopped.C.Young people don't care about endangered languages.D.Young people have creative ways to protect languages.5.The writer mentions Nelson Mandela's words in order to .A.tell the importance of one's mother languageB.show his contributions to language protectionC.tell the trouble in learning endangered languagesD.show the possibility of protecting mother languagesⅢ.[2020·原创]任务阅读阅读下面短文,根据短文内容填写表格,每空限填一词．．．．．．。

This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症), and results from being short of self-control and our body clock.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study, among 2,400 people, 53 percent of them couldn’t follow their sleeping time they had planned, delaying(推迟) it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop doing some other things.Accordingly, people who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑) and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.However, scientists think being short of self-control is not the only problem. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning. And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime. People always think that bedtime procrastination isn’t a big problem, but the choices we make that affect our sleep could finally be pretty important to our health.1.Bedtime procrastination is partly because of . ( )A. being short of self-controlB.resisting temptationsC.adhering to their intentionsD.working hard2.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem because . ( )A. people liked to stay up lateB.people have trouble going to bedC.over 50% of people couldn’t sleep on timeD.people are night owls3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? ( )A. People who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime.B.People who woke up early may not delay their bedtime.C.Night owls always got up late.D.Night owls delayed their bedtime due to their special body clock.4.The writer implies (暗示) that bedtime procrastination .

All of these tasks have become 3 his daily life.This big change is the result of a new programme at his school. Starting from last semester,Dazhou No.1 Middle School has made 4 part of its students’ homework in order to improve their life skills.At the beginning of each month, every 5 gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep their performance. Some of them are quite specific(具体的), 6 cleaning the floor, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother’s Day, students are asked to prepare 7 for their mothers.Wang Yixi, 13, has learned several life skills through the programme, including cooking.“I used to be 8 of fire,” she said.

This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(填充).Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large, t oo large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinn er are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either.A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.11.Which statement is true? ( )A.American people like sitting with people they don’t know.B.A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.C.American people never sit with people they don’t know.D.American people wouldn’t light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.12.What is served before you order?

On the way home from the hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electric devices like kids do now. Instead, Mum volunteered to read out aloud. Mum worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mum always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Mum’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mum, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”.

Most children learn to read and write at an early age and use these skills to get and share information in books, magazines, letters, and messages. Businesses depend on written words to municate and to sell products. Governments depend on written documents as the basis for their laws. We would be lost without writing.The earliest people had no system of writing. Writing developed over thousands of years in different cultures around the world,like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, China, and so on.Long before, drawings were used as a form of munication. Rock drawings are found in many places. One rock drawing in the mountainous part of New Mexico shows a mountain goat standing up and a man riding a horse upside down. Archaeologists(考古学家) believe that the drawing was a warning to riders that the road was too dangerous to walk.Modern forms of writing began when people learned to use symbols, such as letters and words to stand for ideas. At first, they used pictures that stood for words. For example, a picture might show a hunter, the weapons(武器) the hunter used, and a pair of deer the hunter killed. Then, Sumerians in Mesopotamia learned to use the same symbols to stand for different words. Ancient Egyptians used symbols known as hieroglyphs(象形字). It was similar to the writing of the Sumerians.Even greater advances were made in China about 3,500 years ago. The Chinese used thousands of signs and they could write proper names and new words. However, this was a knotty system. To make writing easier, things had to be made in easy way. The answer was the development of alphabets. The Phoenicians are often credited with developing one of the first useful alphabets. The Phoenician alphabet used about 20 or 30 signs. They were well on their way to at least one type of modern writing because the modern English alphabet uses 26 letters.1.What's the purpose of Paragraph 1? ( )A.To show how important the writing is in our daily lives.B.To tell that writing is used mostly in business and government.C.To pare the writing of young people with the writing of adults.D.To explain where writing to be seen.2.Modern forms of writing started when people used . ( )A.symbols like letters and wordsB.proper names and new wordsC.the Phoenician alphabetD.the modern English alphabet3.What does the underlined word “knotty” in t he last paragraph probably mean? ( )A.Acceptable.B.Difficult.C.Meaningless.D.mon.4.The text mainly talks about . ( )A.who invented writingB.when writing appearedC.how writing developedD.what writing wasPassage 2 [2020·原创]How do you celebrate your birthday? Do you have a birthday party or get many best wishes from your friends or family? People celebrate birthdays almost in the same way—birthday cakes, birthday candles, birthday songs are very often seen. However, there are also some special ways to celebrate birthdays.In Nigeria (a country in Africa), the 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th birthdays are very important to them. On these birthdays, they often have very big parties with more than 100 guests. They often eat a roasted cow or goat. There is also a very special food called “Joll of Rice”. It's the rice with tomatoes, red pepper, onions and sweet potatoes.In Korea, the most important birthday is “paegil”. It's on the 100th day after a child's birth. The family and friends get together to have a big dinner with rice cakes, wine and other delicious food like red and black bean cakes. It's said if 100 people share with the rice cakes, the child will have a long life. So parents often send the rice cakes to as many people as possible to share happiness. Parents also put the red and black bean cakes in the house because they believe the bean cakes can lead to good luck and happiness.In China, the 1st birthday is very important to a baby. The parents often put the baby in the center of a group of things, such as coins, a doll, a book, etc. And wait to see which thing the baby picks up. If the baby picks up a coin, he or she may be rich. If the baby chooses the book, he or she may bee a teacher. If the baby reaches for the doll, he or she may have many children. The sixth birthday is also a special birthday for the Chinese child. Parents often cook a bowl of very long noodles to wish the birthday child a long life.All of these ways to celebrate birthdays may be different, but the wishes of good luck and happiness are the same.5.Which of the following is linked(有联系) to a long life? ( )A.Putting the red and black bean cakes in the house in Korea.B.Picking up the things on the first birthday in China.C.Having a very big birthday party in Nigeria.D.Sharing the rice cakes with 100 people in Korea.6.How do people usually celebrate their birthdays in the world? ( )A.They have cakes with candles and sing birthday songs.B.They eat delicious “Joll of Rice”.C.They have a bowl of very long noodles.D.They have a big dinner with rice cakes.7.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.People in Nigeria have four birthdays to celebrate.B.People in Korea eat “Joll of Rice” to celebrate birthdays.C.Paegil is the most important birthday for people in Korea.D.Coins mean a long life in Chinese pick-up games on the 1st birthday.8.Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average (平均) of 11.5 books.The data(数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e-books, magazines and so on. But younger children (ages 2—8) are mainly reading for fun. Compared with the past, the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped.When it comes to technology and reading, the survey suggests little. It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However, most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit.They are served as examples to their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who don't like reading, have more books in the home, and more books bought for them. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them.When was the last time you read a book? If you're one of the countless people who don't develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge you'll face. Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you.Now open a book, and feed your soul.1.Why do many parents control the time of their children's electronic reading?A.E-books are expensive.B.It may harm children's health.C.It is very hard to order.D.It could be a waste of time.2.How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Talk with their teachers to encourage them in developing reading habits.B.Buy more books for them in bookstores or borrow some from libraries.C.Ask them to read more books every day through setting up reading groups.D.Act as role models for them, read for their children and read for themselves.3.What's the survey mainly about?A.Teenagers' after-class activities.B.Parent-child relationships.C.Young people's reading habits.D.Read more often for fun.4.Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next?A.Introduce some books for young people to read.B.Encourage parents to read more after work.C.List some different opinions about reading.D.Develop children's writing habits gradually.Ⅲ.[2020·原创]任务阅读阅读下面短文,根据短文内容填写表格,每空限填一词．．．．．．。

A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine(联合) the two to do something for your local environment? It may be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone, you will be able to bury(埋) it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable(生物可降解的) mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage people to recycle. Scientists have thought of a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but overtime it can break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals(有毒的化学物质). British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover with a sunflower seed(种子). When this cover changes into waste, it forms nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We have only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we're trying to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are always throwing their mobile phones away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. About 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal(金属) and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can reduce the harm to nature, according to the scientists. “The seed is released(释放) and the flower grows in the pot, so you don't have to worry abo ut the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan, the leader of the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.1.Scientists did this type of research about biodegradable mobile phones in order to .A.make the mobile phones more beautifulB.encourage people to recycleC.find a new way to grow flowersD.produce more mobile phoneslions of mobile phones have been sold this year and people will within two years.A.bury most of them in the gardenB.put sunflower seeds into most of themC.take out their coversD.throw most of them away3.What does the underlined phrase “break down” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.打破B.脱离C.分解D.爆发4.We can learn from the passage that .A.the new type of mobile phones is already on the marketB.about 650 million mobile phones have been sold within two yearsC.British scientists are doing the researchD.roses perform best in this type of mobile phones5.What's the best title of the passage?A.The Harm to NatureB.The Developing Phone TechnologyC.Phones and FlowersD.Mobile Phones and EnvironmentⅢ.任务阅读阅读下面短文,根据短文内容填写表格,每空限填一词．．．．．．。

Jackson tried to calm her down, and finally he knew that the girl couldn't get along well with her friends. Jackson, who has worked as a psychologist for nearly ten years, wrote some suggestions about making friends.In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. Then keep away from this kind of friends. How do you know if you have found a good friend? You should look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability.Above all else, you look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand you and accept you. Another quality of a friend is reliability. You can always depend on a good friend. If he tells you he will meet you somewhere at a certain time, you can be sure that he will be there. If you need a favor, he will do his best to help you. If you are in trouble, he will not run away from you.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whomwe can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we will enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too.1.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?( )A.
