2019高考英语二轮专项总练习（全国通用版）－百日阅读强化练习（41）AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note----“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”----and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch 〔门廊〕. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.51. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother52. What does “this” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The milkman’s magic powerB. The milkman’s kindness to meC. The note to change an orderD. The home delivery service53. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.54. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.55. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.BAs a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2017, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2017, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute〔降落伞〕, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.56. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.D. She moved into a retirement community.57. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. make her argument persuasiveB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. build up her own reputation58. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. Excited.B. Regretful.C. Nervous.D. Scared.59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful clouds.B. The wonderful view.C. The company of Jay.D. The one-minute free fall.60. What is the best title of the passage?A. Impossible is nothing.B. A dream made come true.C. An unforgettable skydiving.D. I Went Skydiving at 84!CChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, placewhereover1,100peoplesharepersonalstories,information,andresources.

2019高考英语二轮专项总练习（全国通用版）－百日阅读强化练习（66）〔A〕Dear Alice,My name is Lisa. I have social anxiety, disorder and was wondering how it would be possible to see someone for help without my parents knowing about it. I know that they'd be anything but supportive. They would think I'm absolutely out of my mind. The truth is, I've put off dealing with it, acting as if it'll just go away or that I'll outgrow it. But in reality, the older I'm getting, the worse I'm getting. I avoid as many social situations as I can. I completely panic when meeting new people, I only stay in classes that don't require any talking on my part. It seems the only place I'm actually happy is at home or with people that I've known all my life. Hope you can help!Dear Lisa,About 5 million Americans have some form of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia. While everyone experiences nervousness or fear in social situations to a certain extent, those with social anxiety disorder are weakened by their fear. They may have a constant, intense, and lasting fear of being watched and judged by others, or be terribly afraid of being embarrassed or laughed at by ways in which they behave. As you have described, this fear can prevent people with social anxiety disorder from doing everyday activities, such as going to school or work, and can become so much of a focus that they limit their socializing.It's understandable that you are worried about how your parents might react to knowing what's been going on for you. Many people think that their families will blame them for how they're feeling or belittle their concerns. Being honest with your parents, however, might help you to feel more at ease; it's possible that they've noticed your behavior and wondered about it, or even struggled with similar feelings themselves. There's even some evidence that anxiety disorders may be genetic or run in families —perhaps due to environmental factors and patterns expressed through interpersonal interactions.56. The problem of Lisa is that________.A. She is not getting along well with her parents.B. She becomes nervous meeting people.C. She always puts off dealing with her problems.D. She fears social occasions.57. According to Lisa, her parents________.A. has never supported her.B. are eager to know what's going on for her.C. are perhaps struggling with similar feelings.D. may criticize her for her trouble.58. In her letter, Alice first talked about________.A. the possible causes of Lisa's problemB. the effects of social phobiaC. people's atti tudes towards nervousnessD. everyone's experience of social anxiety disorder59. The underlined word "belittle" probably means________.A. expressB. hideC. ignoreD. worry〔B〕According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. “To create” means to bring into being, to cause to exist some thing each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the su n”, the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses (镜头) and filters (滤光器) to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of genius, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.60.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to thepassage?A. To prepare for a meal.B. To arrange the furniture in aspecial way.C. To buy some books from a bookstore.D. To “write” a letter with thecomputer.61.What is implied by “There is nothing new under the sun”?A. A new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things.B. A new thing is only a tale.C. We can seldom create new things.D. We can hardly see really new things in the world.62.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought andits being put into practice?A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.C. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.D. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.63.Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?A. How to Develop One's CreativityB. What is CreativityC. The Importance of CreativityD. Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing〔C〕Certainly no creature in the sea is stranger than the common sea cucumber(海参). All living creatures, especially human beings, have their features, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about an unusual animal that eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered eatable?For some fifty million years, in spite of all its strange features, the sea cucumber has lived on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and nearly white. One form even has brilliant purple tentacles(触须). Usually the creature are cucumber-shaped—where their name comes from—and because they live in rocks, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to press into crevices(岩石缝隙) where they are safe from animal eater and ocean currents.Although they have greedy desire for food, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the ability to become still and live at a low metabolic(新陈代谢) rate--feeding a little or not at all for long periods, so that the living things in the ocean that provide their food have a chance to increase by a large amount. If it were not for this natural ability, they would swallow all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence. But the most impressive thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs. When attacked, it forces all its internal organs in its body out into water. It also removes attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will get rid of its organs and grow itself again if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.64.According to the passage, why is the shape of sea cucumbers important?A. It helps them to protect themselves from danger.B. It makes it easier for them to move through the mud.C. It makes them attractive to fish.D. It helps them to digest their food.65.The fourth paragraph of the passage mainly discusses __________.A. the reproduction of sea cucumbersB. the food sources of seacucumbersC. the eating habits of sea cucumbersD. the danger to sea cucumbers'existence66.What can be inferred about the defense system of the sea cucumber?A. They require group cooperation.B. They are almost useless.C. They are similar to those of most sea creatures.D. They are very sensitive to the surroundings.67.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. The Variety of Sea Cucumbers.B. The Sources of Sea Cucumbers.C. The Strange Creat ure--Sea Cucumbers.D. The Similarity of Sea〔D〕Take Action for a Better World: Volunteers Needed Six months’ preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work combined with social work with risk group teenagers.Six months’ community work in Malawi in People to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV/ AIDS.

阅读理解·分层训练·知能双升(2015·新课标全国卷Ⅱ)AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy－five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all－night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn't return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all－night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.24．How does the author sound when telling the story?A．Curious. B．Anxious.C．Cautious. D．Humorous.语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文.作者用诙谐、幽默的语气讲述了自己高价购买的一台电视机给自己带来的诸多烦恼.长难句分析：I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.分析：这是一个主从复合句.连词because引导原因状语从句，同时该从句又包含了一个由that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词clothes.译文：我能够在一年多前买下它(电视机)是因为我让我的亲戚们在我生日时给我钱而不是买大量不合身的衣服.21．解析：细节理解题.依据第一段中的“I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy－five dollars less than I had paid”可知答案.答案：C22．解析：词义猜测题.结合画线部分所在的句子“The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night”可知，此处指作者一开始把它带回家时，一切如此顺利以至于作者一直看到电视台“停止播放节目”.故选A.答案：A23．解析：细节理解题.依据最后一段的“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now”可知，最终作者到维修店才使电视机恢复正常.答案：D24．解析：推理判断题.由文章第一段的“My color television has given me nothing but a headache”，第二段中的“I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set”．以及最后一段中的“but I keep expecting more trouble”可知，作者用幽默的语气描述了这台电视机给自己带来的烦恼.答案：DBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self－conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places —and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12－inch plate instead of a 10－inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A．their home comforts B．their body shapeC．house buying D．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people ________.A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A．Eat quickly.B．Play fast music.C．Use smaller spoons.D．Turn down the lights.28．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Is Your House Making You Fat?B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self－ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?语篇解读：这是一篇科普性说明文.最新研究表明，房屋的窗帘、灯光设计、墙壁颜色、餐具大小等都会影响食欲和食量，进而影响节食效果和身材.长难句分析：Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self－conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots offood.分析：这是一个主从复合句.for引导原因状语从句，when在句中引导时间状语从句.分析：昏暗的环境更有可能刺激人们暴饮暴食，因为在这种光线暗淡的情况下人们往往会不那么难为情，所以就更有可能吃大量的食物.25．解析：推理判断题.依据第一段中的”Your house may have an effect on your figure ...whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off”，再结合该段最后一句“Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan”.可知，B项正确.答案：B26．解析：细节理解题.依据第三段第三句“In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room”可知，在蓝色环境中人们的食量会减少33%，因此身处蓝色的环境中有助于减少食量.答案：B27．解析：推理判断题.依据第四段的内容可知，吃饭吃得快的话会吃得多，因此为了帮助减缓吃饭的速度，吃饭时可播放舒缓音乐，排除A、B项；D项与第二段首句的内容相矛盾；依据第五段的内容可知，使用小型的餐具有助于减少食物摄入量.故选C.答案：C28．解析：标题判断题.本文主要讲的是房屋的窗帘、灯光设计、墙壁颜色、餐具大小等方面均会影响食欲和食量，进而影响节食效果和身材，故A项“你的房屋在使你发胖吗？”作文章标题最佳.答案：ACMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap－year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS)．That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well－planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship — young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term－time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，” he said.29．What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A．It is flexible in length.B．It is a time for relaxation.C．It is increasingly popular.D．It is required by universities.30．According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ________.A．are better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobsC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities31．How does Owain James feel about the gap－year phenomenon?A．He's puzzled.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the researchhas suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.60. The passage is mainly about _________.A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill61. The drug tested on people can _________.A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories62. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. Experts are not sure about the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical healthD. the pill has alrea dy been produced and used by the public America63. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.64.

模拟组合练(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018内蒙古包头一模,C)Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity.However,it seems to work in Britain.Red Nose Day(RND)is a well-known event in the UK.The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in1985by Richard Curtis.He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films“Four Weddings and a Funeral” and“Notting Hill’’.Richard’s idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia.It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was“Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria,education,maternal health and mental health.The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised￡74.3million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in.People also donate money by post,in banks,by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND.If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions.Now you know why you may find some people wearing red noses and doing silly things in the UK on Red Nose Day! It is all for a good cause!1.The purpose of Comic Relief is.A.to celebrate Red Nose DayB.to help those in need in Africa and BritainC.to warn people against some diseasesD.to raise money for Mr.Curtis’s films2.Red Nose Day got its name mainly from its.A.creatorB.birthplaceC.aid receiversD.products for sale3.Which of the following is TRUE about Red Nose Day?A.It is celebrated in the spring every other year.B.People celebrate this day to bring happiness to others.C.Richard Curtis started Red Nose Day.D.A lot of people raise money by growing a beard for a week.4.Paragraph4mainly shows that in Britain RND.A.is considered an official holidaysts for a long timeC.is popular with peopleD.is well designed for TVB(2017四川遂宁三模)French writer Frantz Fanon once said:“To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” Since the world changes every day,so does our language.More than300new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary,and in one way or another they are all reflections of today’s changing world.After a year that was politically unstable,it’s not hard to understand the fact that people’s political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary.One example is“clicktivism”,a compound of“click” and“activism”.It refers to“armchair activists”—people who support a political or social cause,but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone.And“otherize” is a verb for“other” that meansto alienate(使疏远) people who are different from ourselves—whether that be different skin color,religious belief or sexuality.“We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary,” Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries’head of content development,told The Guardian.Lifestyle is also changing our language.For example,“fitspiration”—a compound of“fit” and“inspiration”—refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.The phrase“climate refugee”—someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change—reflects people’s concern for the environment.According to Stevenson,social media was the main source for the new expressions.“People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,” he said.But still,not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary.If you want to create your own hit words,Stevenson’s suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful,but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.5.What’s the purpose of the quotation from the French writer Frantz Fanon?A.To serve as the topic of the passage.B.To present one of the major views of the society.C.To show the fact that language mirrors the culture in a way.D.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.6.What does the underlined word“coin” in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean?e.B.Record.C.Create.D.Change.7.How is the article mainly developed?A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following a timeline.D.By presenting research findings.8.According to Stevenson,to make the words you invent popular,theyshould.A.be easy to rememberB.have unique and expressive meaningsC.have the attractive soundD.be meaningful and sound catchyⅡ.完形填空I arrived at the address and honked the horn(鸣笛).After waiting a few minutes, I honked again.After a long1,the door opened.A small woman in her90s stood before me.When she got in the taxi,she gave me a(n)2and then asked,“Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,”I answered3.“I don’t mind.I don’t have any family left,” she said in a soft voice.“The doctor says I won’t live4.”I quietly reached out my hand and5the meter(计价器).For the6two hours,we drove through the city,stopping at many places she could remember.As the first hint of the sun was appearing above the horizon,she 7said, “I’m8.Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.When we finally arrived at the hospice(临终关怀医院),two orderlies(护理员) came out.I took her small suitcase to the door.“How much do I9you?”she asked,10into her purse.“Nothing,”I said.“You have to make a11,” she answered.“There are12passengers,”I responded.I13and gave her a hug.Then I walked into the dim morning light.Behind me,a door shut.It was the sound of the end of a14.What if that woman had gotten an angry driver,or one who was15to end his shift(轮班)?What if I had16to take the run,or had honked once,and then driven away?
