Every corner is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (跛行). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (刺绣) on the cap were the words: “Iwo Jima Survivor”．As they were waiting for lunch, the others were talking happily, and this gentleman was staring out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.I watched him, and imagined how many horrors he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roar of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.I walked over to him and said, “Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving.”He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, “You're welcome, and thank you, too.”I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.1．What can we know about the place where the author enjoyed lunch?A．It was only open to people of the upper class.B．It was once visited by many famous people.C．It was attractive because of its beautiful surroundings.D．It was modeled on scenes from American history.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．The author at first thought the gentleman was famous.B．The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.C．The gentleman's family didn't like to talk with him.D．The gentleman wasn't expecting the author to thank him.3．What encouraged the author to talk to the soldier?A．The soldier's disability.

B．Satisfied.C．Sympathetic. D．Doubtful.Broller coaster. I'm 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I'm in good condition. I'm a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issues.I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you around quite fast. I didn't choose to go on that. I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn't ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.I wasn't nervous—I don't get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn't fall out. The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and the experience couldn't be better. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.People were saying I'd got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one I got a year earlier.My record-breaking way really began a couple of years ago, with the Ice Bucket Challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.I'm not sure if anyone admires all the fun I'm having. They just say I'm daft and that's about it. But I've had many good days and many exciting times. I've had a really good life. I don't think I've wasted any of it.5．Why didn't the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?A．He was told not to do so. B．He considered it too gentle.C．He thought it spun too fast.

White says, it's one thing to know that these extreme weather events __7__ (happen) in the future, but to know the exact time and place is something that seems quite __8__ (possible)．“Since the atmosphere just holds more moisture(水蒸气), we can generally say that more rain in a warmer world is expected. That's not __9__ (terrible) comforting—if it's raining out over the ocean, that doesn't do __10__ (we) any good.

Tens of thousands of eighth graders seek admission, but only 10% of those admitted are from disadvantaged backgrounds, who make up 67% of New York City students. Therefore, Mayor de Blasio recently put forward a new plan. He'd use New York State's standardized (标准的) test results plus class ranks to select students for the specialized schools so that high achievers from those disadvantaged backgrounds would get the opportunity.Critics (评论家) say this will admit youngsters who don't get top marks on an objective admission test, thus harming the schools' quality. However, two proven ways can guarantee these schools' excellence and the mayor's plan contains both.The first is screening every student using a universal assessment that almost everyone takes rather than relying on a separate exam. It_has_been_employed_in_Broward_Country_and_it_worked_really_well_for_poor_and_ minority_youngsters.The second is analyzing scores at the school level instead of the district level, so that it is fair for able students in every “feeder schools”. This makes the qualifying (有资格的) populations diverse in a way that doesn't favor advantaged kids. That's why the University of Texas offers admission to the top 7% of graduates of every high school in the state rather than the top 7% statewide.New York City has long failed its high achievers from disadvantaged backgrounds. So Mayor deBlasio's reforms could be a step in the right direction—if they're done right.1．What do we know from the first paragraph?A．Secondary high schools are in great demand in New York.B．The mayor's new plan has helped the disadvantaged kids.C．It is competitive to gain admission to the selective schools.D．33% of those admitted are from advantaged backgrounds.2．What is some critics' concern over the plan?A．There will be no qualifying students. B．It will cause too much stress on selection.C．There will be a decline in the school quality. D．It will be unfair to the advantaged students.3．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 implies the standardized test ________.A．benefits the disadvantaged students B．does good to the mayor's political careerC．has been practiced throughout the country D．has met with challenges in Broward County4．What is the writer's attitude towards the plan?A．Favorable B．Reserved C．Doubtful D．DisapprovingB2020·鄂东南联考记叙文324词★★★★☆Customers who come into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a softspoken 18yearold from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation，” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began cutting up his ham.”Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams's Facebook notification(关注)began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf's post and tracked her in it.Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figu red, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather，” Williams said.The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city's mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Williams's day, and also received an email from Texas Southern University President Austin A．Lane, asking if the school could present Williams with a scholarship.Williams still works at Waffle House five days a week and plans to do so until she start s classes in the fall at Houstonbased Texas Southern. Wolf said Williams does not have a car to get to classes, but some people have offered to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a moment of a kindness can change a life.5．Why did Wolf post the photo on Facebook?A．The photo reminded her of her late father.

Soltes. We will visit some of the best- preserved Roman monuments in the world. Our tour also includes a chance to walk in the footsteps of Van Gogh and Gauguin. Fields of flowers, tile-roofed (瓦屋顶) villages and tasty meals enrich this wonderful experience.Southern Spain (15 days)Spain has lovely white towns and the scent (芳香) of oranges, but it is also a treasury of ancient remains including the cities left by the Greeks, Romans and Arabs. As we travel south from Madrid with Prof. Ronald Messier to historic Toledo, Roman Mérida and into Andalucia, we explore historical monuments and architecture.China's Sacred Landscapes (21 days)Discover the China of“past ages，” its walled cities, temples and mountain scenery with Prof. Robert Thorp. Highlights (精彩之处) include China's most sacred peaks at Mount Tai and Hangzhou's rolling hills, waterways and peaceful temples. We will wander in traditional small towns and end our tour with an exceptional museum in Shanghai.Tunisia (17 days)Join Prof. Pedar Foss on our in-depth Tunisian tour. Tour highlights include the Roman city of Dougga, the underground Numidian capital at Bulla Regia, Roman Sbeitla and the remote areas around Tataouine and Matmata, unique for underground cities. Our journey takes us to picturesque Berber villages and lovely beaches.1．What can visitors see in both Classical Provence and Southern Spain?A．Historical monuments.B．Fields of flowers.C．Van Gogh's paintings. D．Greek buildings.2．Which country is Prof. Thorp most knowledgeable about?A．France. B．Spain.C．China. D．Tunisia.3．Which of the following highlights the Tunisian tour?A．White towns. B．Underground cities.C．Tile-roofed villages. D．Rolling hills.BSecondary made homeless. Without warning, her landlord decided to sell the three-bed house in Bath that she'd been renting for ￡1,000 a month for the past three years. Diamond, a single mother of a teenage daughter and son, quickly found that on her yearly salary of ￡28,000, she couldn't afford to rent another home locally.“My pay has been frozen while rents have rocketed in Bath. Another three-bed place would have cost me ￡1,300 a month －80% of my take home pay －leaving my children and me with just ￡320 a month to live on.”She needed ￡4,000 to move home, including the deposit(押金). “I just didn't have the money.”Research found that in the UK one out of three low earners have borrowed money to pay their rent, either from family and friends or through credit cards. A full 70% of low earners are either struggling or falling behind with rent payments, barely managing to have somewhere to live.Someone argues that people who can't afford their rent should move elsewhere, but low pay is widespread and there are more job opportunities in the places with higher rents. If you can barely afford to save ￡10 a month, then the rental deposit, first month's rent and removal fees are far beyond your resources unless you deliberately fall behind on your rent.Increasingly, organizations that deal with poverty and housing are shouting for a housing solution that deals with affordability, not just supply. Arguing that simply increasing supply will cause the market to automatically grow fairer is nonsense.The fact that so many people are struggling to pay their rent should cause outrage (义愤) and shame. And credit is limited: eventually those borrowing to cover rent won't be able to borrow more, and will become homeless or cost the local authority more when they need rehousing. And if people in work are struggling with rent, what hope do people out of work have?4．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Used up. B．Becoming less and less.C．Incapable of being changed. D．Saved up for other purpose.5．What can we know about low earners?A．It is the deposit that stops them from renting a house.B．They can't save even ￡10 a week after paying their rent.C．They get used to borrowing much money from the banks.D．One third of them can't afford their rents by themselves.6．Why do people have to stay in the places with higher rents?A．Low pay is widespread. B．They may be employed easily.C．The deposit is low there. D．The government can help them there.7．What does the author think of some organizations' solution?A．Fair B．Imaginative.C．Useless. D．Uncertain.Ⅲ.书面表达[2019·成都七中月考]假定你是李华，你的澳大利亚朋友Alex 听说你校刚刚举办了运动会，来信询问你相关情况。

However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.1．What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A．Price. B．Safety. C．Freshness. D．Variety.2．What is the doctors' suggestion?A．Grow your own food. B．Reduce the use of pesticides.C．Make sure the food is clean. D．Buy large companies' products.3．Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A．It tastes better. B．It is easier to grow.C．It contains more fat. D．It is more nutritious.4．Where does this text probably come from?A．A recipe book. B．A chemistry paper.C．A medical report. D．A health magazine.Bit's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he's nervous.“I'm here to tell you today why you should... should...”Chris trips on the“-ld，”a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “...V ote for... me...” Except for some stumbles,_Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，”Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don't know，but I want to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities，” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”5．What made Chris nervous?A．Telling a story. B．Making a speech.C．Taking a test. D．Answering a question.6．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Improper pauses. B．Bad manners. C．Spelling mistakes. D．Silly jokes.7．We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to ________.A．help students see their own strengths B．assess students' public speaking skillsC．prepare students for their future jobs D．inspire students' love for politics8．Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?A．Humorous. B．Ambitious. C．Caring. D．Demanding.黄金考点练习3单句语法填空＋阅读理解Ⅰ.单句语法填空(并列连词和名词性从句)1．答案与解析：and这是一个“祈使句＋and ＋陈述句”结构。

And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I'll have what she's having”effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?1．What is the recent study mainly about?A．Food safety. B．Movie viewership.C．Consumer demand. D．Eating behavior.2．What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Big eaters. B．Overweight persons.C．Picky eaters. D．Tall thin persons.3．Why did the researchers hire the actor?A．To see how she would affect the participants.B．To test if the participants could recognize her.C．To find out what she would do in the two tests.D．To study why she could keep her weight down.4．On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?A．How hungry we are.B．How slim we want to be.C．How we perceive others.D．How we feel about the food.BHe recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again. “WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.As the boy reflected on his previous efforts at writing, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.The words shot toward him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through him, faster than his speed of typing. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed at how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number “248” staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet.Then he heard the call of his mother, saying it was time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost thinking about a topic to write.Finally, he finished. The word count now read “498”．“Perfect，” he thought, “just under the word limit.” He knew this was the story that would win.He went onto Google and searched for the competition. He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.5．What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?A．A new computer. B．The prize money.C．His own interest. D．His mom's advice.6．How did the boy finish his earlier writing?A．His mom helped him. B．He copied others' ideas.C．His friends assisted him.

Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U．S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA's new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.1．Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A．To raise safety standards of sports. B．To protect athletes from concussions.C．To set rules for health care evaluation. D．To help players return to the game quickly.2．What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A．Avoid using the head. B．Leave the field forever.C．Get treatment in time. D．Switch to another sport.3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．What a concussion is. B．What causes damage to brain cells.C．How the CDC works. D．How a concussion can be prevented.4．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Rules for Safer Play B．Sports Injuries in the USC．Advice to Athletes D．New Policies for DoctorsBlive footage from the frozen heights of Everest. But communicating with a submarine (潜艇) or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar (声呐) signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，” says Fadel Adib, a professor at the MIT Media Lab, who led the research.The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations (震动) correspond to the data. A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane's black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT's swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions—high waves, storms and schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction—air to water.If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.5．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1?A．The future of video chat underwater and in the air.B．The difficulty of communication from underwater to the air.C．The frustrations of developing underwater devices.D．The current situation of communicating with a submarine.6．What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Changeable. B．Convenient. C．Achievable. D．Alternative.7．What do we know about TARF?A．It is widely used to find downed planes.B．It can work well at great depths underwater.C．It is an underwater machine that sends signals.D．It can send, receive and read signals from underwater.8．What is the best title for the text?A．The Real-world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB．A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatC．Full Water-to-air Communication Is Closer to RealityD．TARF Is Becoming a New Means of CommunicationⅢ.书面表达[2020·1月浙江卷]假定你是李华，你校将举办外国学生中文演讲比赛，请给你的英国朋友George写封邮件邀请他参加。

Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings.In cases like these, look for medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled (排出) from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.In the past, some people forced poisoning victims to empty the stomach. They used the liquid—syrup of ipecac (吐根糖浆)—to do this. But an organization of children's doctors no longer advises parents to keep syrup of ipecac. The American Academy of Pediatrics says some poisons can cause additional damage when they come back up the throat.Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or Abdominal thrusts. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. These back blows may ease the choking. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim's abdomen. The abdomen is the area between the chest and the hipbone (髋骨)．1．Why is the container of the poison required to save?A．To look for harmful information. B．To learn a lesson.C．To use it to break the poison. D．To look for medical help.2．Why are parents advised not to keep syrup of ipecac?A．To keep the stomach empty.

Accidental PoisoningsC．Common Causes of Accidental Poisonings D．Poisonings and First AidBElizabeth Station, Sandpiper, Manuelzinho and so on, was an influential American poet of the 20th century. Her poetry often shows things that concerned her throughout her life, such as her search for a sense of home. Her troubled childhood and feeling of loneliness from this time affected her character and poetry.Bishop's painful childhood is apparent in some of her poems. Her father died when she was eight months old and her mother was mad when she was five. Bishop was raised firstly by her mother's parents and then by her father's parents. This experience left her confused about belonging. She had no home and this was shown in her poetry. In A Prodigal, when the character in the poem makes up his mind to go home, there is a sense of pessimism for Bishop who has no home. The lack of a sense of home has contributed to her depression all her life.Bishop attempts to make small, everyday experiences extraordinary in her poems such as Filling Station. In Filling Station, Bishop describes the beauty of a family filling station. Although it is “dirty”，there is order in it. Simple family life is celebrated in it. She recognizes the value of home and beauty in everyday life, but she is only an observer of these. Distance remains between her and the family at the filling station.Bishop's struggle to locate herself in the world is seen no more clearly than in Sandpiper. It deals with searching for something in a confusing world. She uses the metaphor (暗喻) of the bird which is “looking for something”. The “something” isn't specific. It seems as if the bird doesn't know what he wants ; the only certain thing is that he is searching.Bishop's poems are personal on a more subtle (巧妙的) level, especially when her childhood, travels etc. are taken into consideration. It is believed that Bishop is a complex poet who uses her poetry to find the feeling of belonging.5．What do we know about Elizabeth Bishop's childhood?A．She was born poor. B．She lived an unhappy life.C．Her grandparents treated her badly. D．Her parents didn't love her.6．Which of Bishop's poems shows her love for simple family life?A．Sandpiper. B．ManueIzinho.C．Filling Station. D．A Prodigal.7．When reading Bishop's poems, people can find her search for ________.A．the true nature of human beings B．a happy family lifeC．parental love D．the feeling of belonging8．Which of the following words can best describe Bishop?A．Gifted but pessimistic. B．Clever and strong.C．Unfortunate but kind. D．Creative and determined.黄金考点第二部分小组合环带练练习21语法填空＋阅读理解Ⅰ.语法填空【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了当前世界老龄化的现象以及造成这一现象的两大因素。

The problem lies in getting the oil from the countries that produce it to the countries that consume it. This is mainly done using oil tankers. Usually the oil is shipped safely and with no problems, but occasionally there is a disaster.Every year millions of tons of oil are spilled into the ocean. Although this is only a small percentage of the total amount shipped around the world each year, this spilled oil can have terrible effects on ocean life, including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore.One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989, when the Exxon Valdez tanker ran aground off the coast of Alaska, spilling 42 million liters of oil. Although it wasn't the largest oil spill, the disaster was terrible because it occurred in such a sensitive natural area. In this spill, the tanker's captain, who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to another sailor, who was unfamiliar with the route. The ship ran onto Bligh Reef. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Many birds and otters died as a result of the oil covering their skin, and many other sea creatures and the animals that fed on them were also severely affected.1．Which country is NOT among the largest consumers of oil?A．Japan. B．Iraq. C．America. D．Germany.2．What does the underlined “them” refer to?A．The birds. B．The otters.C．The sea creatures. D．The birds and the otters.3．Which of the following statement is true? ________A．The oil leak of Alaska is because the captain was unfamiliar with the route.B．Many birds and otters died from eating the spilled oil.C．Alaska spill was the most serious spill of all time.D．Although some oil leak is not serious, it will affect ocean life.B2020·天津卷记叙文406词★★★☆☆“They tell Miss Vinnie Ream？”The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir，” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn't have dared to ask you, butmy teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner.”President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors—they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I'm afraid there's not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust (半身像)？”Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course—I shouldn't have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size.”Vinnie's face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir，” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I've driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do！”The President's eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn't know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream，” he sighed, “I'd like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.”Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly，” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie's hand warmly, “I've heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well.

Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解ATelling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally. Anita Kelly, study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, employed 110 adults for her study. She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10 weeks. Lies included big ones and tiny ones—any false statements—but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth, keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer, etc. The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying.It turns out that both groups reduced their lying, but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more. “We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies, and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，” said Kelly.When participants in the nolie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced, on average, fewer mentalhealth complaints and physical complaints. They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. They also reported that personal relationships improved. Additionally, participants found themselves honest about their daily accomplishments, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task, for example.“It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，”says psychologist Robert Feldman. “That would be beneficial, I'm a little doubtful whether it makes us all healthier, but it may make us healthier in a psychological way.”文章大意：本文是一篇科研报告。
