AOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed am empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee. I asked, “My I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of myfriends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath ?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are.21. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. UntidyB.UnfriendlyC. GentleD. Kind22. The author bought coffee for the old man because.A. he wanted to start a conversationB. he thought the old man was poorC. he intended to show his wealthD. he would like to thank the old man23. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful24. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.BSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for seriouswater shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.25. Which of the following is the author most probably support?A. Cycling around a lake.B. Motor racing in the desert.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D. Swimming in a sports center.26. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortages around the world.C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.27.

The author writes the passage to_______.A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsCToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects oftelevision on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-years–old who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out(排除)that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-years-old between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study,children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating（积累）findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms29.According to the California study, the low-scoring group might________.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have had computers in their bedrooms30.What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-years-old watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-years-old.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.31.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.32.What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB.Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning HabitsDLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visitswhether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place.

I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread.Real language learning takes place in human relationships. No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry. You don’t become bilingual (双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary. You don’t become a speaker of a language by memorizing verb conjugations (动词的词形变化) and agreement rules. You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its primary means of communication.I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients. Flour is necessary, as are yeast, salt, water and other ingredients. V ocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned. Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored. But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread. At best, you only end up with a ball of dough (面团).In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough. And in language learning, that heat comes from the community. Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat. It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?”when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?”When you try to say something quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread. Remember the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?”This is where language learning often breaks down because wefind the heat uncomfortable and we stop the baking process. In other words, we can’t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen. However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen——in the heat until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He said that he did not “get out of the kitchen”at the critical moment when the oven seemed too hot. The dedicated language learner knows that becoming bilingual cannot be achieved without the heat!24. The passage is mainly about________.A. how we can make baking bread with various IngredientsB. how to become bilingual by communicating with othersC. what an important role “heat”plays in learning a languageD. what a high quality of bread you may achieve in the kitchen25. You can become a speaker of a language by_______.A. bearing millions of words and expressions in your mindB. using the language to communicate with those around youC. knowing verb conjugations and grammatical rulesD. saying something innocent to be laughed at by others26. What is the purpose of illustration of the example——you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?”when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?”?A. To prove that you are sure to make some mistakes when you enter acommunity.B. To show that you should combine the ingredients in the recommended proportions.C. To prove that you may experience "heat" from the community in language learning.D. To indicate that being bilingual calls for your courage, confidence and perseverance.27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the necessity of baking bread and learning language?A. Wonderful skills.B. Various ingredients.C. Appropriate proportions.D. Uncomfortable heat.C【黑龙江省2018届普通高等学校招生全国统一考试仿真模拟（八）英语试题】Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C.. And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“It’s very different from their normal call,”said Brandie Smith, thezookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can——if you’re an animal.“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,”said Brandie Smith. “That’s part of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped. So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P”wave and then a much stronger “S”wave. The “P”stands for “primary”. And the “S”stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P”wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,”Smith said.28. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud callD. Because an earthquake had happened.29. According to Brandie Smith,_____________.A. many animals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake30. Which animal seems unable to sense quake?A. A giant panda.B. A flamingo.C. A lemur.D. A lizard.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quakeB. How animals differ from humansC. How animals behave before a quakeD. How animals protect their young in a quakeD【河南省新乡市2018-2019学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题】Born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 10th, 1928. Philip Levine was formally educated in the Detroit public school system. After graduation from university, Levine worked a number of industrial jobs, including the night work in factories, reading and writing poems in his off hours. In 1953, hestudied at the University of Iowa. There, Levine met Robert Lowell and John Berryman, whom Levine called his “one great guide”.About writing poems, Levine wrote: “I believed even then that if I could change my experience into poems I would give it the value and honor that it did not begin to have on its own. I thought too that if I could write about it, I could come to understand it: I believed that if I could understand my life——or at least the part my work played in it——I could write it with some degree of joy, something obviously missing from my life.”Levine published (出版) his first collection of poems. On the Edge in 1961, followed by Not This Pig in 1968. Throughout his life Levine published many books of poems, winning many prizes. A review said: “Levine writes poems about the bravery of men, physical labor, simple pleasures and strong feelings, often set in working-class Detroit or in central California, where he worked or lived.”He taught for many years at California State University, Fresno and served as Distinguished Poet in Residence for the Creative Writing Program at New York University. After retiring from teaching, Levine divided his time between Brooklyn, New York, and Fresno, California, until his death on February 14th, 2015. His final poem collection, The Last Shift, as well as a collection of essays (短文) and other writings, My Lost Poets: A Life in Poetry, were published in 2016.32.

ATo: The Manager of Mezzo Mash RestaurantDear Sir,Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaura nt for my 18th birthday.

I ordered a fish pie and my friends or dered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends－a salad. When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order some desserts（餐后甜点）. The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wa sn’t enough time for us to order desserts.

It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance tob ond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to h elp seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekinderg arten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time a nd exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply p art of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “I’vehad parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when t heir child was the first to warmly greet someone who happene d to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy t o our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers an d can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working , so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community.

But for some kids, eating Halloween candies c an be dangerous.That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy（过敏症）. They are allergic to ingredients（成份） in many Halloween candies, such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and beans. If they eat these foods, they will get sic k or even die.“I had to throw away all my candies with tears,” eight-year-old Conlen said. Conlen is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, anddairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. She has been tri ck-or-treating only twice. “I brought my candies home and gave the m to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."But this year, Conlen, Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween .That's because ne arly100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project (TPP), which was started las t year by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). FARE i s an organization that works to improve the lives of people wit h food allergies. Through the project, the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小饰品) and toys.To take part in the project, people buy a teal (蓝绿色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of the ir house. The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there. The hou seholds also add their home addresses to an online map, ma king it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.Kylie loves the idea.“The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe,”she said.“It makes me feel like a normal kid, and it makes ev eryone feel included.”32．To Conlen and Kylie, the past Halloween were_________ _______.A．upsetting and dangerousB．interesting and specialC．sick and terribleD．important and exciting33．According to the passage, we know that FARE_________ ____.A．helps people with food allergies recoverB．helps the households take part in the TPPC．takes action to change kids’ bad eating habitsD．helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween 34．The households help kids with food allergies by________ ____.A．giving them teal pumpkins as giftsB．offering them all kinds of food except candies C．providing them with trinkets and toys as treats D．asking them for home addresses and sending them gifts 35．Where is the passage most probably taken from?A．A magazine about the history of festivals.B．A news report on cultures and customs.C．An advertisement for an organization.D．A research paper on kid’s health.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
