Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month.If you were born after 1978，and live until 80 years old，you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet.These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic，never to completely disappear.Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds，which has shortened their lifetime greatly.
The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic.It’s a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles.The design process begins with building steel frames，which are then filled with these bottles.Once this step is completed，and electrical and plumbing(管道装置) lines are put inside，the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside.So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic.Besides，the material will keep the house 17℃ cooler than the outside，which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.
The village is the brainchild(主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects.Having started a recycling program four years ago，during which a number of plastic bottles were collected，he started to think of how they could be put to use.Soon enough，he decided to use them to build houses，and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.
The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment.The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter.Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet，and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”．
1．What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us?
A．The reason for buying fewer drinks.
B．The difficult situation of wildlife.
C．The amount of plastic waste.
D．The seriousness of plastic pollution.
答案 D
解+析推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，一个人一生中会留下许多塑料瓶子，这些瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片，而且永远不会完全消失。大部分的废物被鱼和鸟所消耗，大大缩短了它们的寿命。由此可推测出这些塑料瓶子对地球的污染有多严重。故选D项。2．What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village?
A．The house will be much cooler than normal ones.
B．The material of construction will be reduced a lot.
C．The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity.
D．The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds.
答案 A
解+析细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，这种材料可以使房子的温度比室外低17°，这对居住在室内的人来说是最大的好处。
3．Which of the following words can best describe Robert?
A．Creative. B．Courageous.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Sensitive.
答案 A
解+析推理判断题。用塑料瓶子作建筑材料是非常有创意的，罗伯特能想出这样的主意说明他是一个有创造性的人。故选A。
4．The main purpose of Robert’s project is to .
A．provide shelter for locals
B．reuse all deserted plastic bottles
C．popularize the use of plastic bottles
D．raise people’s environmental awareness
答案 D
解+析推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，该项目希望人们意识到这些瓶子造成的浪费，以便他们能做更多事情来保护环境，由此可知，该项目的目的是提高人们保护环境的意识。故选D项。

2019高考英语作文13大热点预测+范文
热点预测一：新四大发明 1.关于高铁 【题目要求】 高铁给人们的出行带来了快捷和方便，请你写一篇短文简单介绍武广高铁。 基本情况： 1. 始建于2005年，2009年12月26日开通运营，干线全长1068公里； 2. 途经湖北、湖南和广东； 3. 列车时速高达350公里/小时，目前世界上最快。 主要优点： 1. 武汉至广州仅需3个小时，比先前减少7个多小时； 2. 高铁列车设施齐全，安全舒适。 美中不足： 1. 票价偏高； 2. 车站离市中心较远。 First built in 2005, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway went into operation on December,26th,2009. Overall length of its main line is 1068 kilometers, and it goes through the following three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong. The speed of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is 350km/h,the fastest speed in the world now, which makes it only three hours needed from Wuhan to Guangzhou, seven hours less than before. Besides, there are all kinds of facilities in the train, which make your trip safe and comfortable, so it is more humanitarian. However, the only fly in the ointment is that the train fare is too high and the station is quite far away from the downtown area. 2.移动支付 【题目要求】 随着微信，支付宝、银行APP等的发展想必大家都爱用他们支付购买。那么，通过网络进行的货币支付或资金流转给我们的生活带来了哪些好处呢?请你以移动支付的好处为主题写一篇英语短文。 【优秀范文】 The Advantages of Online Payment Online payment has been advocated around the world, which is the future way to pay bills. In China, Alipay is popular everywhere, even the small business can be finished by this advanced way. People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of online payment are obvious. Firstly, it saves people’s time to pay bills. The use of online payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. The process of costing customers’ time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly. Second, people don’t have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won’t receive the fake cash without paper money. With the development of new applications, our life will be much convenient. 3.共享单车 假定你是红星中学初三学生李华。你的美国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国新近出现的一种共享单车“mobike”很感兴趣，并请你做个简要介绍。请你给Jim回信，内容包括： 1. 这种单车的使用方法(如：APP查看车辆、扫码开锁等); 2. 这种单车的优势; 3. 你对这种单车的看法。 注意：1. 词数不少于80; 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示词：智能手机 smartphone，二维码 the QR code Dear Jim, I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike mentioned in your latest letter. It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip. Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well. Hope to ride a mobike with you in China. 4.网购 随着互联网的发展和普及，网络购物在中国也变得越来越普遍了，甚至已经成了我们日常生活的一部分了。相信同学们身边一定有不少同学已经通过网络进行购物了，比如淘宝网等，但是网络购物究竟有何利弊呢? 请写一篇短文，谈谈网上购物的好处与坏处。 With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need. Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which themost important is perhaps its convenience. People don't haveto waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person（亲自）. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses（点击鼠标）. The commodities they order will be delivered（运送）to them promptly. However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can't see the goods or try them on（试穿，试验）personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered（注册）. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain. 热点预测二：中国传统文化艺术 1. 祝贺信：中国象棋 【题目要求】 假如你是李华，你的美国网友Peter参加中国象棋网络挑战赛获得了一等奖。请根据以下提示写一封英文电子邮件向他表示祝贺。 1) 祝贺他获奖；2) 肯定他付出的努力；3) 询问何时方便，在网上切磋棋艺。 Dear Peter, I am writing to offer my sincere congratulations to you on your winning the first prize in the Chinese Chess Network Challenge. As your friend, I just want you to know how glad I am at your success.

A. which B.what C. when D. that 【答案】C 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们已经进入到了一个时代，在这个时代梦想实现的机会最大。句中先行词为an age（一个时代），且先行词在从句中作时间状语，所以关系词用when。故选C。 22.The musician along with his band members ________ ten performancesin the last three months.

23.The doctor shares his phone number with the patients ________ theyneed medical assistance.

高考七选五专题训练 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 一 I started working at Pizza Hut in December 1989, when I was a freshman in high school. All new employees started by washing dishes and busing tables. If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders. 1 I couldn’t keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with more dirty dishes. My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,”he said. “You leave a clean station. 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night. I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes” on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3 One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?”he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes” box but in the “make table” box. 5 A. I was excited. B. Some write on a chalkboard. C. I was angry and thought about quitting. D. Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said. E. And I wasn’t afraid to let everyone around me know it. F. On my first night, the dishes piled up after the dinner rush. G. The people who make a difference in your life come in all types.

2019高考英语 阅读理解专题选编(12)(含解析)
2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编（12） 李仕才 A In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in N orthern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale" and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated. One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. "If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough." The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way. She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines. 1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.
