阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may
become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world.
Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris
overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone
not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous
attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant
cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine
River.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort
thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If
you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go
skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking
scenery and fresh mountain air.
Bora Bora
The reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you
do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise
water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.
Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London,
the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.
1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.
A. enjoy crystal blue lakes
B. visit its famous attractions
C. take a walk around cobblestone streets D. meet the friendliest people you have ever met
2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?
A. peaceful beaches.
B. White-water rafting.
C. Snow-capped mountains.
D. Fresh mountain air.
3. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. to introduce the top three destinations.
B. to compare the top three destinations.
C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.
D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinations
B
A nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her
daughter's graduation from nursing school.
Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala
Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.
“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and
out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to
dothis.’”she said.
Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield,
Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home. They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six
months of care.
“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadn't finished school yet, ” Sanja said. “We
are like sisters; we care about and trust each other. She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't
scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”
Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working,
my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's
life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation.
“That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself.
She agreed. Due to COVID - 19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony. Edina's manager at Marianjoy
Rehabilitation Hospital decided to host a pinning ceremony for her and have Sanja present the pin. “Sanja has
fulfilled her promise, ” Edina said.
Edina and Sanja are now caring for patients alongside one another as colleagues at Marianjoy.
4. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Leaving the hospital B. Working as a nurse
C. Facing death positively D. Caring for Edina's mother

一、选择题组
阅读下面的文字，完成下列小题。
小说课的兴起，应 于大学教育理念和制度的探索创新。在以往的文学教育中，文学史、文学批评和文学理论三者虽不至于分疆而治，但很难做到亲密无间。小说课却几乎 地实现了三者的交叉融合。讲授者的初衷虽不是讲成小说史，但在选讲经典篇目时，已无形中完成了类似文学史的筛选工作。课堂上对具体作品的解读，时刻要求讲授者兼具文学批评的眼光和文学理论的修养。也就是说，讲授者实际上身兼小说家、批评家和教育者等多重身份。当小说的接受对象从读者大众到学生听众时，它的表现形式也从口头讲授到整理出版。
在后续的传播中，小说课所彰显的文学趣味、观念和立场，对大众的文学解读、文学消费和文学接受可能产生的影响，难以估量。在这个意义上，小说课的兴起密切 着文学生活的变迁。
在当下的文学生活中，小说课有着重要的意义与影响。其中最突出的是小说课起到彰显独到眼光、丰富批评类型的作用。小说课作为特殊形态的文学批评，乃是作家对作家的批评，这些批评文学未必都能达到“大师的批评”的理想境界，但至少都别开生面，引人入胜。
1．依次填入文中横线上的词语，全都恰当的一项是( )
A．归功 自然而然 关联
B．归结 大势所趋 关联
C．归功 大势所趋 关注
D．归结 自然而然 关注
2．文中画横线的句子有语病，下列修改最恰当的一项是（ ）
A．当小说的接受对象扩展至读者大众时，它的表现形式也从口头讲授到整理出版。
B．当小说课的表现形式从整理出版到口头讲授时，它的接受对象也从学生听众扩展至读者大众。
C．当小说课从口头讲授到整理出版时，它的接受对象也就从学生听众扩展至读者大众。 D．当小说的接受对象从读者大众扩展至学生听众时，它的表现形式也从整理出版到口头讲授。

cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full

材料一
礼仪的出现、演化，本身是人与自然关系博弈、平衡的产物。当远古人们认识到应对宇宙天地心存敬畏时，便有了祭祀活动。由此而演化来的'礼'与'仪'正是人们认识自然、认识自我，对人与自然应和谐相处这一认识的行为体现和制度约束。
拱手礼在'礼'的层面，首先体现的是人类敬天的思想，即人类对赖以生存又可敬可畏的自然的臣服与膜拜。拱手礼最早的文化意义便是伸出双手，束手就缚，以自身为天地的祭品。进而将这正式而严谨的祭祀礼仪拓展、渗透到对同类的尊敬、礼让。因而拱手礼所承载的社会价值便体现着人际关系信息，形成和巩固着社会的人际关系交往方式，以及塑造着人们思维方式和社会文化形态。中国传统社会阶级之间从行拱手礼的不同规范就可反映出不同阶层的尊卑、亲疏。《周礼·秋官·司仪》'昭王仪，南乡见诸侯，土揖庶姓，时揖异姓，天揖同姓，所以别亲疏内外也。'《左传·隐公十一年》所谓'礼，经国家，定社稷，序民人，利后嗣者也。'正如李为香博士所论'礼深含人类对字宙天地的敬畏，对德性的追寻，对和谐的追求，对人本身的期望和宽容以及对美好生活的期待，对审美情趣的重视和培养，以及对社会秩序的协调。'拱手礼亦然。追求拱手礼的精神核心，便是
'敬天'尊人'，是与自然相处时要放低姿态，谦恭敬天;与人交往时要尊重他人，礼遇他人。这种深入骨髓、发自内心的'敬天''尊人'的思维才是拱手礼在其礼制背后所反映的核心价值。
在'仪'的层面，拱手礼有一整套行为规范和仪表原则。如行礼时，应双手合抱于胸前，右手在内，左手在外，如遇凶丧，反之等。这些仪式现象看似繁文缛节，却是'敬天''尊人'这些精神内核的极好保障，通过这些程式化的仪式，强化了对天、对人的敬意，确立了对天，对人的秩序。若在国家层面上将这些规范固定下来，就有了典章制度，就成了礼制。礼制一旦确定，就为一定阶段社会运行提供法则，成为历代统治者为国治政之本，普通社会成员安身立命之道。《左传·昭公二十五年》载'礼，上下之纪，天地之经纬也，民之所以生也。'在人际交往中和社会运行中执行这尊卑有序、亲疏有别的拱手礼仪式，使每个人按既定的身体仪式行事，既可'敬天''尊人'，同时也是'自敬'' 自尊'。人若'敬天'，天则'爱人'，人与自然平衡和谐。人若'尊人'，施之以拱手礼仪，对方也会还礼，这便是'敬人'的同时巩固和彰显了自身的身份地位。《礼运》'夫礼，先王以承天道，以治人之情，故失之者死，得之者生。'社会成员若按照规范得当的礼仪相施，人们按照恰当得体的拱手礼相见，人人相敬，人人相亲，则国家的秩序自然就通畅井然了。

It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the
year’s biggest blockbusters so far.
Kong: Skull Island
A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem
version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix,
this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.
Release Date:3/10/17
Beauty and the Beast
Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all
remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney

As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and
eat only as much as you need.
Keep away from low-nutrition snacks
That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty orsugary snacks you eat between
meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these
unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social
events or as a special treat.
Leave half an hour between main course and dessert
Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely
to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the

Electric Shocks Can Be Fatal
Government statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric
shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes.
Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to
learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.
What to do?
● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!
● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn
off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!
