The following international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.Quebec cityQuebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district the famed city wall, strange cobblestone lanes（鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time, when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the place D’ Youville square.EdinburghEdinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland’s capital puts on a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La Clique.ZurichIf buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury（奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the merging industrial zones.

Here are four attractions you can see in a rush.Space NeedleRegular tickets for the Space Needle are $10 cheaper from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Order tickets in advance so you can go straight in line for the elevators. At the top, you can read fun facts about the Needle and interact with a huge, touchscreen “SkyPad”—- not to mention admiring incredible 360-degree views of the city.Chihuly Garden and GlassLocated right next to the Space Needle, this exhibit features the work of Dale Chihuly.

Order your Space Needle and Chihuly tickets together for even more savings.Pike Place MarketJust steps from the Space Needle, you can get on the bus to the famous Pike Place Market. Give yourself plenty of time to eat your way through this huge marketplace. Most places offer samples so you can try a wide variety of snacks before you buy.Post AlleyLocated under Pike Place Market, this street is home to Seattle’s stickiest attraction: the Gum Wall. This tradition started in the 1990s, when people waiting in line for Post Alley’s Market Theater would stick their chewedgum on the wall. Since then, thousands of others have added to the collection. The wall was swept clean in 2015, but you’d never know it now. It makes for a good photo opportunity—just don’t get too close.1．What can you do at the Space Needle?A．Taste some delicious snacks.

PISA is conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) every three years, and assesses the performance of 15-year-olds mainly in reading, maths and science.In England, the Government has prioritized（优先）climbing up the league tables in recent years. The latest tests were carried out last year, and showed that England was ranked 17 in the table for maths, up from 26 in 2015. Pupils in England also outperformed the OECD average in reading and science. On student well-being, 53 percent of 15-year-olds across the UK reported that they are satisfied with their lives—well below the 67 percent average across the OECD．Taking the UK as a whole, while there was only a statistically significant improvement in maths, the country still improved its position relative to other countries across all three of the subjects tested by PISA．In reading, the UK was 14th, up from 22nd three years ago. In science the UK was 14th, up from 15th, and in maths the UK roseto 18th from 27th.Across the rest of the league tables, East Asian countries like China and Singapore continued to be far superior. Today’s results also showed that Estonia outperformed all the major European economies.However, Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, cautionedagainst concluding too much from the findings. There are many educational and non-educational factors which affect performance and it is not easy to find how these have impacted on youn g people’s attainment in a set of tests. What is worrying, however, is that this analysis shows that fewer students in the UK are satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. It is clear that many young people feel under great pressure in a society in which the risks often seem very high to them in terms of achieving their goals.12．Which aspect of England is under the average of the OECD?A．Reading. B．Science.C．Well-being. D．Maths.13．Which statement agrees with the UK’ performance in PISA?A．The UK did worse than before.B．The UK progressed a little in PISA．C．The UK hasn’t made any improvement.D．The UK pulled well ahead of the rest countries.14．Which of the following countries always holds a leading position in PISA?A．China. B．Estonia. C．The UK. D．England.15．What do the Geoff Barton’s words mean in the last paragraph?A．The PISA results are unbelievable for educators.B．Students in the UK are in need of more practice.C．Education quality can’t be fully reflected only by PISA．D．Young people take more risks of achieving their goals.8.（2020届河南省焦作市高三三模）Just like essays, all speeches have three main sections: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. 16．You need to write a speech in a way that keeps the attention of an audience and helps paint a mental image at the same time. Whatever type of speech you decide to write, find ways to make your words memorable.The structure of how to write your speech is just the start. 17．Start by paying attention to your audience and their interests. Write the words you’ll speak with passion and enthusiasm, which you also want your listeners to share. When writing your attention-grabbing statements, make sure you are writing what will get their attention, not just yours.18．Read famous speeches and look at the way they are constructed. Find things that stand out and figure out what makes it interesting. Oftentimes, speechwriters use rhetorical devices（修辞法）to make certain points easy to remember.Remember to begin and end your speech with something that will gain and hold the attention of your audience. If you spend too much time getting into your speech, people will zone out or start checking their phones. 19．20．When you give the speech, think about the tone you should use, and be sure to write the speech in the same flow that you’d use in conversations. A great way to check this flow is to practice reading it out loud. If you stumble（磕磕巴巴）while reading or it feels dull, look for ways to jazz up（使活泼）the words and improve the flow.A．You’ll also need to writ e the speech skillfully.B．How you deliver the speech is also important.C．You can gain inspiration from others’ speeches.D．Instead, if interested, they may stick with you until the end.E.So the essay form can offer a good foundation for the process.F.However, unlike essays, speeches are not to be read but to be heard.G.In other words, your speech should contain some color, drama, or humor.9.（2020届河南省六市第一次模拟）Christmas is coming early this year for “Downton Abbey”《唐顿庄园》fans.

The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eye s peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from fatigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.32．Davo Kamicar made history by ________.A．skiing down Mount Everest without restB．descending Mount Everest within the shortest time everC．attracting largest number of audience online for his descentD．becoming the first to film his descent down Mount Everest33．The underlined word foolhardy in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A．sudden and hard to accept B．taking unnecessary risksC．attracting public attention D．working hard to fool others34．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Kamicar saw about 120 dead bodies littering the slope.B．The broadcast of his descent online was cancelled because of the website jam.C．Kamicar’s family had a tradition to conquer Mount Everest.D．This was not Kamicar’s first attempt on Mount Everest.35．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A．Mad man skis down Everest B．Darwin Award for Davo KamicarC．Extreme sports hero slides to a record D．Body of mountaineer found on Everest11.（2020届湖南省怀化市高三第一次模拟）Many people travel to enjoy and enrich themselves. As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. L et’s take a look.Solo travelTraditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.Augmented(增广的) attractionsWorld travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes.In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museum s, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel.Getting off the beaten pathIn order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore.1．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is .A．to introduce the travel trends of 2019 B．to encourage more people to travelC．to recommend travel hot spots D．to explain what makes a good trip2．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions.B．Travelling alone benefits people a lot.C．NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people.D．VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Famous places are still popular with many travelers.B．Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.C．Many people like to search for places online.D．Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.12.（2020届湖南省怀化市高三第一次模拟）You probably have not heard of Lu Zikuan, but recently the 11-year-old boy deeply touched Chinese netizens。

1．语言特点：语言简练，就其用词来看，文章里有大量生僻的专有名词，如地名、人名、机构名、组织名、书名、作品名等。
2．结构特点：应用文主要用于传递信息，高考卷中所采用的应用文通常有两种行文方式。
一种是文中的几则信息构成平行并列结构，即每一则信息中的项目及其位置有一致性和对应性，几则信息前有时会用一个段落对文章信息做整体上的说明；另一种是针对某一主题分项、分条目地呈现信息，每个段落围绕小标题呈现某一方面的信息。
3．答题误区：应用文阅读理解试题难度不大，故答题时要谨防过于草率。
出错的原因有可能是看信息时看错位置，也有可能是为了追求速度只凭大致印象答题。
因此，做题时一定要看准信息并在文章中找出相关信息以确保万无一失。
另外，不要一字不落地阅读全文，这样会浪费很多时间，而是应该有选择性地快速筛选和获取答题所需要的信息。
4．阅读策略应用文阅读理解总体上要做到稳、准、快，在确保准确率的基础上提高阅读速度，以节省时间。
解题时，要做到：(1)快速浏览知主题。
快速浏览加粗字体的标题、小标题或加下划线的语句等最重要的信息，以了解语篇提供的是哪方面的信息，并判定行文方式。
(2)速读题干，跳读定位信息。
接下来阅读每一道试题，根据题干定位信息区间，并在文章中找出答案或相关信息。
在定位和寻找信息区间的时候，可以充分利用加粗字体的标题、小标题、加下划线的语句等重要信息提高阅读和解题速度，如果每则信息的项目及其位置具有一致性和对应性，就可利用其一致性和对应性快速查找答案，查找信息时不一定要读完全文。
(3)细读解题信息。
最后，根据查找的相关信息，经过比对选项选出正确答案。

A series of photos posted by BullittCentralHigh School on social media shows students taking “adulting conference” are learning about personal finances,resumes and other essential skills at the event, which has been widely reported on the local and national news outlets.“I saw a Facebook post that parents passed around saying they needed a class in high school on taxes and cooking，”AC organizer Christy Hardin told Louisville's WA VE 3 News. Those skills are taught at school theoretically, she said, but the event gave students a chance to fill in gaps in their knowledge.Students could choose to attend three workshops out of 11 total options, the school says. The workshops were held in cooperation with numerous community partners.Some young people have left home and graduated school without having those gaps filled, according to a report this week from CBS New York, which documented a trend of young people seeking outclasses to learn basic life skills.While attending a cooking class, 29yearold Elena Toumaras told the station she's struggling with “simple things”．“I was so used to, when living at home, my mom always cooking”，she told the station.An “Adulting School”in Portland, Maine, aims to use a new online format to teach the youths skills like conflict resolution, sewing and appreciation for art, the station says.Students' financial literacy has been of particular concern to some experts, as financial education in schools has stagnated (停滞) in the U．S., with only 17 states requiring students to take classes in personal finance — a number that hasn't risen in years.“The majority of U．S. states are failing our students by declining to offer these fundamental courses which are critical to their financial stability and security later in life. And this will be changed，”Nan J. Morrison, president and CEO of the Council for Economic Education, told CNBC.10．What can we learn from what Christy Hardin said?A．Only taxes and cooking classes are demanded. B．AC helps put what has been learnt into practice. C．Many parents passed by the AC classroom. D．The event was organized by some parents.11．Why did Elena Toumaras attend a cooking class? A．To document a trend.B．To struggle with “simple things”．C．To satisfy her mother.D．To learn basic life skills.12．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A．Experts will be concerned about finance. B．Fundamental majors won't be provided in schools. C．More financial courses will be offered.D．More states will decline students' courses.。
