Each hosthas their own style of hospitality, starting with how they like to get to know theirguests. Some hosts want to approve reservations, while others are comfortable letting you book their place instantly without waiting for approval.1. Complete Your Personal DetailsIn either case, it's important to know that Airbnb is a community that relies on trust.

The pair quickly became close friends, as Chris took her to doctor's appointments, cooked with her and they ran errands together. He shared their adventures on social media.But recently, Cook's health declined and she was in and out of the hospital several times. She once spent weeks in the hospital fighting pneumonia（肺炎）and breathing issues. Eventually Cook was told by one of her doctors that she could no longer live at home unless she had 24-hour care. Because Cook had no money saved to pay her health care costs, Chris started a GoFundMe account to help cover her bills.But caretakers are expensive and Cook quickly went through the $34, 445 they raised. Knowing her days at home were limited, Chris invited Cook to move in with him to save money."She loves it! I do most of my work at home so I am here most of the time to care for her. It only made sense to both of us, " Chris wrote."She is my adopted grandmother after all and I am her grandson she never had.""Cook still has weekly hospice health care visits and regular visits from caregivers, so any funds raised cover those expenses, " he wrote.Though doctors say Cook's days are very limited, the pair are enjoying spending time together drinking champagne and snuggling with her cat, Hermes, who also made the move."She does not want to change, " Chris told Today. "My apartment was the only place she would have moved. She has strong opinions about where she wants to carry out the rest of her days, and she wants to stay here."Chris says he feels like the relationship was fate. "Moving her in.. it feels as though it was meant to be all along, " he said. "It's really fulfilling（有成就感的）to be there for her."(1) Chris invited Cook to live with him because she.A. had no other family membersB. was unable to afford 24-hour careC. shared similar adventures with himD. was told not to live at home by the doctor(2) From the passage, we can learn that Chris.A. worked as an actor for GoFundMeB. was legally adopted as Cook's grandsonC. collected money for Cook's private careD. paid Cook's expensive health care costs(3) Which of the following words can best describe Chris?A. Kind and sympathetic.B. Optimistic and friendly.C. Patient and enthusiastic.D.

You'd probably be surprised to learn what's involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.There are 5 major stages: material, production, shipping, use and disposal（处理）. The material stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber（纤维）and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers, it still TAL#NBSP takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides（杀虫剂）is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US.Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc.—these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater.After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stage. This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments（衣服）are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck…., all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile.Once the T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times you've washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers.The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down. Current US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.We all need new clothes every once in a while, but let's all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing…It has a real impact on the planet.There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycle clothes. If they're too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the thermostat on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.(1) The underlined phrase"takes a toll" probably means"" .A. wastes water.B. takes a lot of time.C. uses energy.D. has a bad effect.(2) We can learn from the passage that in the US,.A. pesticides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every yearB. CO2 emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mileC. about 15% of the clothes and shoes are made of materials that are recycledD. about 16,000 gallons of water is used annually by an average familyon laundry(3) What can be inferred from this passage?A. The production process may affect water safety.B. The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.C. Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.D. The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.(4) What is the purpose of this article?A. To encourage people to donate clothes to charity.B. To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.C. To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.D. To introduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing.20、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区高三一模（D篇）第47~50题8分2018~2019学年6月黑龙江哈尔滨香坊区哈尔滨市第六中学高一下学期月考第12~15题8分(每题2分)Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls（缺失）in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modern language: happiness.When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives, it is the word "happiness" that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least,heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as "fulfilment" .What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable（易怒的）mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word "happiness" to capture, for it's tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble—sounding idea of Eudaimonia.The word encourages us to trust that many of life's most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics…none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke（激怒）and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we'll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We'll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.(1) What do we know about"Eudaimonia" from the passage?A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.(2) According to Paragraph 3, happiness.A. is the opposite of fulfillmentB. is free from physical or mental painC. stresses the psychological differenceD. serves as a respected and noble life goal(3) We can learn from the passage that.A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blamingB. goals that wound and weaken us result in happinessC. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertakingD. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations(4) The passage encourages the readers to.A. find fulfillment with all effortsB. seek for a pain-free existenceC. keep optimistic whatever happensD. balance happiness and suffering四、七选五21、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区高三一模第51~55题10分2017~2018学年新疆乌鲁木齐天山区新疆兵团第二中学高二下学期期中第16~20题10分2020~2021学年2月广东广州越秀区广州市铁一中学高三下学期月考第16~20题12.5分(每题2.5分)2017~2018学年江苏宿迁泗阳县高二下学期期中第16~20题10分(每题2分)Radar is electronic device that detects planes, ships, coastlines, landmarks, and even storm clouds. The name radar comes from the first letters of the words "radio, direction, and ranging". As the human eye uses light waves to see, radar "sees" with radio waves. Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog.1In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects. But scientists did not make great advances in radar research until the 1930s, when the world was threatened bywar.2It has been used widely in almost every conflict since then.Echoes make it possible for radar to work. When a beam of radio waves is sent out, it strikes on an object and returns an echo. This echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similar to television screen. On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object.3Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings. Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships.4Weather forecasters"see" the size, direction, and speed of storms on radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon. Thus, the device has generated major advancements.5Huge radar antennas have been installed all over the United States. They guard us against possible enemy attacks. We have ballistic-missiles（战略导弹）warning systems that can alert us to attacks when missiles are more than 1, 000 miles away. Other radar systems warn us against enemy aircraft and even spying space satellites.A. Police track speeders in radar-equipped cars.B. These measurements are now highly accurate.C. The device can be used in a wide range of fields.D. It is therefore especially valuable to shippers and travelers.E. During World War II many countries used radar effectively.F. Today radar is used by commercial airliners and weather forecasters.G.

She preferred to take winding country roads to her grandmother’s hospital. When she drove through the rocky town of Harpers Ferry, the beauty of the rough waters was always appealing to her.Toward the end of her journey, Mary had to get on highway 81. It was here that she discovered a surprising bit ofbeauty during one of her trips. Along the shoulder of the highway, there was a long stretch of wild flowers. They were thin and delicate and purple, and moved back and forth in the wind as if whispering poems to each other.The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was seized by an uncontrollable urge to pull over on the highway and pull a bunch from the soil. She carried them into her grandmother’s room when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in a vase by her bed.For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid（清醒的）than usual. She thanked Mary for the flowers, commented on their beauty and asked where she had gotten them. Mary was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake something up inside her sick grandmother.Afterwards, Mary began carrying scissors in the car during her trips to visit her grandmother. She would quickly glide onto the shoulder, jump out of the car, and clip a bunch of flowers. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the vase, her gran dmother’s eyes would light up and they would have a splendid conversation.One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother that she sped past her flower spot. She decided to turn around, head several miles back, and cut a bunch.Mary arrived at the hospital to find her grandmother very weak and unresponsive. She placed the flowers in the vase and sat down to hold her grandmother’s hand. She felt a squeeze on her fingers. It was the last conversation they had.59. Mary preferred to take country roads to the hospital because she could ________.A. get on highway 81 more easilyB. pick wild flowers for her grandmotherC. enjoy the natural view along the roadsD. spend less time driving to the destination60.

Flowers have the magic to cure diseases.CSeeds on IceClose to the North Pole, remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled withhumanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection---more than a half-billion seeds.A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climatechange will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of cropsaround the world, the Svalbard Global Seed V ault represents a major step towardsensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seedcollection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds:the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another varietytolerance for hot, dry weather.Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment—about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be.63. According to the passage, the Seed Vault is _______.A. a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayedB. a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered cropsC. a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agricultureD. a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops64. The underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. matureB. cleanC. aliveD. valuable65. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ___________.A. how the seeds are preservedB. where people keep the seedsC. why the seeds are protectedD. what people do to study the seeds66. We can know from the passage that ____________.A.the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate changeB.most countries took part in rescuing the seed varietiesC.the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversityD.many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwiseDYoung Americans Are Less Wealthy Than Their ParentsThe cost of living in the United States is going up, notes writer Alissa Quartz. As is reported in New York Post, Quartz points to “the costs of housing, education and health care in particular.” At the same time, a new study, the report of which is called “The Fading American Dream” found that half of Americans born in the 1980s are falling behind their parents economically.T hese findings show that many younger adults are experiencing “downward mobility.” In other words, they are not doing as well economically as their parents were at the same age. The idea of downward mobility is especially troubling for Americans, writes Robert Samuelson in The Washington Post. He says most U.S. citizens believe that, over time, the amount of money they earn will rise and life will get easier.Alissa Quartz wrote a book about the financial difficulties of Americans. In the book, Quartz tells about teachers who are struggling to pay for regular costs. One high school teacher drives for ride sharing service Uber at night to earn more money. He corrects students’ papers between riders. A co llege professor turned to government assistance to feed her child and pay for a doctor. Quartz says even lawyers increasingly cannot earn an income that enables them to meet their needs. The problem of decreasing incomes in their field is made worse by debt they may have from law school.Quartz and the economists who studied these issues say many things have led to lower incomes and downward mobility. The economic recession of 2007 to 2009 is partly to blame, they say. Modern technology also plays a part. Quartz says robots threaten to reduce the earnings of health care workers,reporters, and people who work atsupermarkets, drug stores and tax preparation services. In The Washington Post, Robert Samuelson noted that poor schools, a weak housing industry and too many government rules are also to blame.With all these things, and more, partly responsible, what is the solution? These experts say the answer is complex. But all point to one issue that needs to be examined: economic inequality. Quartz writes that while America is one of the richest countries in the world, it also has one of the biggest divides between the wealthy and the poor.The researchers in “T he Fading American Dream” study make a similar observation. They say raising GDP will not significantly improve the economic situation of most Americans. A higher GDP may help only those who are already doing well. Instead, the economists say, the United States could try to repeat something Americans born in the 1940s experienced. As those children grew up, they almost all benefited from a better economy.67.

We can learn from the passage that in America, ____________________.A. people miss the good old days in the 1940sB. people are suffering from a worse economyC. people are pessimistic about future economyD. people complain a lot about economic changesHow to Turn Your Goals into HabitsFirst we make our habits, then our habits make us. It’s such a simple concept, yet it’s something we don’t always do.I believe that having ONE goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals. By putting the belief into practice, I have achieved a lot of personal goals over time. ____71____ My answer takes a little explaining. I try to turn my goals into habits, and in doing so, I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit meansreally focusing on it for at least a month. The more you can focus, the more it'll be on autopilot. ___72 __ You’ll still do it, but you only have to use minimal force to maintain it, and you can focus on your next goal or habit.Take my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting running and had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. So that was my goal. ___73___ First, I had to make running a daily habit. Second, I had to report to people in order to have accountability (负责) so that I could not quit easily. I focused on the daily running habit for about a month, and didn’t have any other goals or habits. When the running habit stuck, I started reporting to people I knew and blogging about my running every day.____74_____ I could focus on new goals without having to worry about the marathon. I still had to do the running, of course, but it didn’t require constant focus. ____75____ I was able to achieve this because, all year long, I had daily running and accountability habits. I put my marathon goal into autopilot, so instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year, I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.A. And eventually, I ran the first marathon in my life.B. At the beginning, it was very difficult for me to achieve this goal.C. But in order to achieve it, I broke it down into two habits.D. With this accountability, there’s no way I could stop running.E. Once you put it on autopilot, you don't have to focus on it much.F. My readers asked me how I was able to achieve them while working on different projects.G. Once those two habits were established, my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot.Keys:单项填空21. A 22.
