But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (资源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? ____16.____. It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had.

The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 36 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.37 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.38 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 39Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 40 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.A.

Before asking questions about the course design, read the syllabus (教学大纲) and learning management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.• Participate in discussion forums (论坛) , blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue.38 Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same.Don'ts• Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 39• Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 40 When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about the student.

Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.36 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays , office parties and just to fill the time.“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.”Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 37 It’s great to wa tch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”38 “I can tell you about one young couple,”says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 39 ”So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. 40 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I'm alive.”A. So why do we dance?B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.D. My older students say it makes them feel young.E. I keep practicing even w hen I’m extremely tired.F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.2017年Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36 Here’s how to make one.37 In order to make a change, you need t o decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates aboutthe change you want to make.●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a q uarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.A. Get a sleep specialist.B. Find the right motivation.C. A better plan for sleep can help.D. And consider setting a second alarm.E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.2016年Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.A. Do not buy it.B. The easiest is to steam it.C. This is how you can do it.D. It just requires a little knowledge.E. The fish will go bad within hours.F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.。

Magalhaes,a34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer,loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum.Or Africa's Victoria Falls.Or China's Great Wall.1"I often send postcards to family and friends,"he says to China Daily,"but you can imagine that aftera while,you never receive as many as you send,and you realize that not everyone is into it,2"Seeking other like-minded souls,however,Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place:Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service,butPaulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing,a social network that has grown to575, 217registered users in214countries and regions since he started it10years ago.3Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.Language is certainly a barrier for many people.For postcrossing to work worldwide,a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other.As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese,the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it.4So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken."Many people in China have limited exposure to Engish.5That said,we know of many postcrossing members,including Chinese,who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing."Paulo says.A.And that's totally fine.B.That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.C.He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.D.Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.E.On August5,the number of postcards exchanged by members topped31million.F.Similarly,if you speak only

principles you must master.People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too often when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the“public”at the expense of

it’s a truly serious one.18.Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19.And like everything else in life,that takes practice. Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.20.It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.“On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!“So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audienceF.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listenersG.However,the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.5.【2020·浙江卷】I experienced years of loneliness as a child.31.His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine.With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood,I had to spend hours by myself.A bright spot for me turned out to be reading.My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening.32.I started reading books on my own before age5and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books.I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters.Reading opened new worlds to me.33.My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted.I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me.When my mother saw my creations,she told me how creative my designs were.34.I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful.It was a trait(特点)others found helpful,and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.35.My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside,no matter the weather or season.My brother,of course,raced off to be with his friends,while I had plenty to do myself.There was making leaf houses in autumn,ice skating in winter,and so much more.They’re all memories I treasure today.A.I wasn't alone any longer.B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.C.I was invited to play with another kid.D.I loved the colorful photographs in the books.E.Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.F.Thus,I began my lifelong interest in making things.G.My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.II．阅读理解新题型1.2021年3月天津卷I've always been creative since I was a little girl.My childhood was filled with arts,crafts（手工）and music,and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.Somewhere along the way,however,I lost touch with my creative self.At21,I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree.I would go to the office,sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week9to5.The days were long and tedious.Working this way for one year was painful enough,let alone a lifetime.Before long I decided to make a change.One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing,so I took a sewing course at a community college.It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.As I dreamt bigger,I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course.I attended classes two nights a week.Although exhausting,it gave me energy,enthusiasm and happiness.As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time,the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder.I felt bored.No energy,no motivation and zero fulfilment（满足感）.I knew I needed to make a bigger change.After struggling for quite a while,I made a difficultdecision-leaving my job and studying my design course full time.Two years later I got my diploma.The last few years have been exciting because I've been following my heart to do what I love.Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.Sometimes it's hard to make a change,but I'm so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.1.What was the author interested in when she was a little girl?(no more than10words)2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph2mean?(1word)3.How did the author feel when she was taking the part-time design course?(no more than10words)4.What did the author do to get back to her creative life?Give two of the facts.(no more than15words)5.Do you consider the author as your role model?Please explain.(no more than20words)2.【2020·天津卷（一）】阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—“misi” meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”. When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. ___71___. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long.Great rivers are likely to suffer floods.

T o a certain degree ,it’s a matter of logic （逻辑）—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people ‘s argument and to avoid them in your own ,it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence .In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused ,organized thinking –the ability to see clearlytheir relationships among ideas. 71 the greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.that, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also discovered and confused. If, on the other hand ,the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas your already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will Improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class.

It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see howthey can be used in other forms of communication as well.Passage 6Life Story of Dave ThomasSince 1989．Dave Thomas，who died of cancer at age 69 in his Fort Lauderdale home, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. 1 “As long as it works,”he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.”2 “He still won’t let anyone see his feet，which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,”Wendy said in 1993．Born to a single mother，he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan．After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work．“He fed me,”Thomas said, “and if I got out of line．He’d beat me. ”Moving out on his own at 15,Thomas worked, first as a waiter，in many restaurants.3 “I thought if I owned a restaurant,”he said, “I could eat for free.”A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant owner that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders，Thomas started the first Wendy’s old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio，which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers 4 .Although troubled by his own experience with adoption，Thomas，married since 1954 to Lorraine．66．and with four grown kids besides Wendy，felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金会)for Adoption in 1992．In 1993，Thomas，who had left school at 15，graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida． 5 The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.“The Dave you saw on TV,”says friend Pat Williams，senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, “was the real Dave．He wasn’t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”A．But he had something much better in mind．B．He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party．C．Even though he was successful，Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.D．By using his experience and determination，Thomas turned the restaurants around.E．With 6,000 restaurants worldwide，the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.F．He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter，now 40．G．He dropped out of school to work full-time．This decision to drop out haunted himuntil he went back to school 45 years later．Passage 7As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 71 What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 72 For example, how can you tell that somebody isn’t a good student just because he or she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination?73 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us.74 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 75Data are data after all. Life is much more colourful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers.B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.C. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t everything.D. Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much.F. The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data.1.（Key: AECDB）2.71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C3. 71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C4.71. C 72. B 73. G 74. D 75. A 5.DEAFG6.Keys :1.
