2018年北京市通州区高考英语一模试卷副标题一、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）1.Most city parks are places you can escape from big， ugly structures of metaland stone．（）A. thatB. whereC. whichD. when【答案】B【解析】考查定语从句．句意：大多数城市公园都是你可以躲避巨大而丑陋的金属和石头建筑的地方．先行词是places在定语从句中做地点状语，所以用where来引导，that、which不能在从句做状语，when做时间状语．故选：B．大多数城市公园都是你可以躲避巨大而丑陋的金属和石头建筑的地方．定语从句又称为形容词性从句，综观历年高考试题，我们可以发现该语法项目是测试中的热点与难点，解定语从句的题目首先要知道哪一句是主句，哪一句是从句，被修饰的词是谁，从句中的句子成分缺失什么，根据缺失成分的不同从而选出相对应的关系代词或者关系副词，从而选出正确的答案，解题的关键是从句句子的成分分析．2.---What sort of house do you want to have？Something big？---Well，it ______ be big--that's not important．（）A. mustn'tB. needn'tC. can'tD. won't【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查情态动词辨析；mustn't禁止；needn't不必；can't不能，不可能；won't不会；根据下文的"that's not important那不重要"推断房子"不必大"，所以答案选择B．--你想拥有怎样的房子？大点的？--嗯，不必大--那不重要．要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上，整体理解语境中的情感态度，做出合理的判断．3. A study on smog， on the Nature website， caught some top scientists'attention all over the world．（）A. publishB. publishingC. publishedD. being published【答案】C【解析】根据结构可知这句话使用非谓语动词作定语，a study和publish是被动关系，用过去分词作定语．故选：C．一个出版在自然网站的雾霾，吸引了全世界顶尖科学家的注意．本题考查过去分词的用法．过去分词在句中不可以作谓语，它相当于形容词和副词，在句中可作表语、状语、补足语等．现在分词和修饰的名词或和主语之间是主动的关系．4.He noticed that he by a stranger when he was walking in the street.A. was being followedB. was followingC. had followedD. followed【答案】A【解析】句意：他注意到当他在街上散步时被一个陌生人跟踪着。

Help Mrs．Green take care of her cat．D. Do some housework for Mrs．Green．CHave your ever helped younger children with their reading，writing or maths？Do you think it helpful for yourself？According to a study in the US，student tutoring （辅导）wins easily over computerized instruction．Now the idea is spreading in Britain．Throughout this term，a group of 14-year-old teenagers at Trinity Comprehensive school spend an hour a week helping children at a nearby primary school with their reading．All the teenage tutors have some lessons which help them to catch up with their classmates at a nearby primary school with their reading．All the teenage tutors have some lessons which help them to catch up with their classmates at school．Although their intelligence （智力）is around average （平均），they have fallen behind on reading，writing and maths．Jean Bond，from Warwick University，says that the main benefit of tutoring is that it helps build up the teenage tutors' self-esteem （自尊）．"The younger children come rushing upevery time and welcome them．It makes the teenage tutors feel important．However，in normal school lessons，they often feel unable to deal with their school work．The teenage tutors need practice in reading，but if they have to do it in their own classes，they would say it is for kids and they get embarrassed（尴尬的）whenever they have to do it．They are struggling （挣扎）at school themselves，so when the younger ones can't learn，they know exactly why．"The teenage tutors' own reading has improved as a result of reading stories aloud to the younger children．Their view of education is changed．They have become more sympathetic （赞同的）to their own teachers' difficulties because they are frustrated （沮丧的）themselves when the younger children behave in a silly way．The younger children get special attention from their patient tutors and they speak warmly of them．" He doesn't shout like our teachers，" says eight-year-old Jenny．Yet，her tutor Jack sees himself as a strict teacher．In the seven weeks of the experiment the teenage tutors have improved their reading and have received more recognition and feelings of worth than before．The younger children have made great progress in reading skills by the end of the experiment．7.According to Jean Bond，tutoring makes the teenage tutors ______ ．A. get embarrassed easilyB. fail to deal with school workC. feel good of themselvesD. know why they can't learn8.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Student tutoring first started at schools in Britain．B. The teenage tutors are weak in their own studies at school．C. The younger children think the teenage tutors are strict with them．D. The experiment helps the younger children understand their teachers better．9.The writer's main purpose in writing this passage is to tell ______ ．A. self-esteem is the key to one's successB. children should get special attentionC. the purpose of education is changedD. teaching is a good way to learnDWe probably all know people who are really good listeners．No matter what kind of situation we're in，they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we're not upset．They're caring and considerate，and even if we don't find a solution to our problem，we usually leave feeling more hopeful．We probably also know people who are good at managing their emotions．They don't get angry in stressful situations．Instead，they have the ability to look at a problem calmly and find a solution．They're usually willing to look at themselves honestly．They take criticism well，and they know when to use it to improve their performance．People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence （智力），or EI．They know themselves very well，and they're also able to sense the emotional needs of others．Would you like to be more like this？As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important as technical ability，organizations are increasingly using EI when they hire （雇佣）．So，what exactly is emotional intelligence？We all have different characters，different wants and needs，and different ways of showing our emotions．Dealing with these all takes cleverness，especially if we hope to succeed in life．This is where emotional intelligence becomes important．Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions，understand what they're telling you，and realize how your emotions affect people around you．Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others：when you think over and get to know how they feel，this allows you to manage relationships more effectively．People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do．Why？Because they're the ones that others want on their team．When they need help，they get it．People with strong social skills are typically team players．They help others develop and shine．Although regular （普通的）intelligence is important to success in life，emotional intelligence is key to relating well to others and achieving your goals．Many people believe that emotional intelligence is at least as important as regular intelligence and it is necessary for people to develop their emotional intelligence．10.The first and second paragraphs are mainly about ______ ．A. how people can develop their EIB. what people with high EI are likeC. how people learn about EI in their workD. what people know about the history of EI11.The word " perception" in Paragraph 7 probably means" ______ "．A. feelingB. descriptionC. respectD. understanding12.The writer probably agrees that emotional intelligence is ______ ．A. helpful for organizations to hire more peopleB. useful for people to develop different charactersC. the ability to know your own and others' emotionsD. the key for people to becoming the leaders in a team13.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. Emotional Intelligence：Accept Different RelationshipsB. Emotional Intelligence：Develop Strong "People Skills"C. Emotional Intelligence：Make Teamwork SuccessfulD. Emotional Intelligence：Deal with "Life Goals"二、完形填空（本大题共8小题，共8.0分）Old Science in Practice "Win Your Dream Holiday!" was a competition for students who were interested in science．Students needed to think of an unusual method of measuring （计算）the height of Eiffel Tower．The first prize was trip to Paris to check their method in practice．Lots of students sent their applications （申请）．The(14)were the students from Grade 8，No．16 Middle School．"The idea just came into my head．Actually，it was a 2，600-year-old idea!

remindedthe kids of that truth: they could have multiple careers in their lifetimes．As I lay in bed that evening, I thought about another truth．It’s not just different careers that await each child．It’s a set of completely different lives．I thought about my own life． Five years ago I was in an unhappy marriage; living in a house that I felt wasn’t mine． I felt anxious most of the time and not in control of my own future．Now, I live in my own beautiful apartment． My family life is peaceful, filled withlaughter and the purrs of our three﹣year﹣old cat． I date and have a bunch of new friends ﹣people who didn’t even know me back when I was married．My life is barely recognizable． I created a whole new reality．I have always known that great change is possible． I am the great grandchild of Eastern European immigrants who left their countries with few contacts and even less in English． From the villages of Russia and Poland, they created businesses and communities and English﹣speaking families． Their worlds towards the end of their lives would have barely been like the lives into which they were born．My own parents moved to a new city with two small children and started a brand new life with a new set of friends． And my grandmother lived two completely different lives．For my entire childhood she was a widow （寡妇）after my grandfather died suddenly at 43．She raised her daughters alone, rarely traveled out of her hometown and cared for her elderly mother． At 68, after being single for 26 years, she surprised us all by falling in love and remarrying． She and Harry socialized endlessly, traveled around the country and spent summers at their second home by the sea． They lived their new adventurous lives well into their nineties．Life is full of possibilities． It is full of changes． We assume that our lives arelinear, leading from birth to death in a straight path． But they can change． They can have sharp twists． They can double back and leap forward and begin another story altogether．（1）How did the author feel in the first marriage？________A.Hopeful．B.Scared．C.Helpless．D.Satisfied．（2）What made the family feel unexpected about her grandma？________A.Being a widow for a long time．B.Her decision to start a new life．C.Her happy life with Harry．D.Moving out of her hometown．（3）The author took her family for example to show

unhappy marriage； living in a house that I felt wasn’t mine． I felt anxious most of the time and not in control of my own future．五年前，我的婚姻很不幸福，住在一间我觉得不是我的房子里．我大部分时间都感到焦虑，而不是控制自己的未来．可知作者的第一场婚姻很无助，故选C．（2）B．细节理解题，根据第七段 she surprised us all by falling in love and remarrying． She and Harry socialized endlessly， traveled around

land of white natural beauty and wonderful wildlife． Our experts will explain everything about the two poles as you watch the penguins in Antarctica or whales and polar bears in the Arctic．There is no greater adventure than traveling to the end of Earth． A once﹣in﹣a﹣lifetime experience．Cultural journeysOur cultural journeys will help you discover ancient civilizations: India, Thailand, Egypt and

2015 , and the cancer caused 422, 000 deaths that year, accounting for more than half of the world’s liver cancer cases and deaths． The good news is that now scientists in China have identified DNA markers specific to liver （肝脏）cancer, which is expected to greatly improve accuracy in diagnosis （诊断）of it．Using the new technology, doctors can provide a diagnosis to patients with liver cancer through simple blood tests． That could decrease the chances of a misdiagnosis by more than half, according to Xu Ruihua, director of the Sun Yat﹣sen University Cancer Center in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, who has led the research．After five years of research, involving over 100 researchers from different institutes, the scientists identified methylation in DNA circulating in the blood that is related to liver cancer． Methylation is an abnormal genetic change that can cause cancer, Xu said． Usingsamples of DNA from a large group of 1, 098 liver cancer patients and 835 healthy people for comparison, they constructed a diagnostic prediction model that showed high sensitivity and accuracy, Xu said in the study, which was published in Nature Materials , a science journal, on Monday．Currently, a method that is often used for diagnosis of early﹣stage liver cancer is to check the level of alpha fetoprotein （甲胎蛋白）, which normally remains at very low level in the blood but increases significantly in many liver cancer patients． But the method is ineffective for 40percent of those who have liver cancer, and 20 percent of patients with no liver cancer are diagnosed as having the disease because rising alpha fetoprotein levels can also be caused by factors such as pregnancy and so on, Xu said．But using the new method, about 85 percent of cancer patients can be diagnosed and only about 7 percent of patients are misdiagnosed, he said． The new method is more accurate and much simpler and does not require other tests, Xu said． The center has developed tests for liver cancer based on the research, and they will be used on people with a high risk of the disease at Sun Yat﹣sen University’s Cancer Hospital, he said． And the tests are expected to be widely available for clinical use by the end of the year, he said．（1）What effect does the new technology produce？________A.The death rate of liver cancer will decrease．B.It saves the trouble of the doctors and patients．C.Xu Ruihua will be famous overnight．D.There will be less patients of liver cancer．（2）What is the disadvantage of the current method ﹣checking the level of alpha fetoprotein？________A.It is not effective at all．B.It involves high risks．C.It is time﹣consuming．D.It leads to misdiagnosis sometimes．（3）The researchers could adopt blood test to check liver cancer because of discoveryof________．A.samples in DNA．B.methylation in DNA．C.alpha fetoprotein．D.genetic change．（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？________A.The rate of misdiagnosis is comparatively high with the new method．B.The researchers are optimistic about the new method．C.The research result has been put into practice．D.The blood test is not effective enough．【答案】ADBB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇科教类阅读，属于说明文，肝癌是中国最常见的癌症之一． 2015年新病例数达到46.6万，当年癌症造成422，000人死亡，占世界肝癌病例和死亡人数的一半以上．好消息是，现在中国的科学家已经确定了肝癌特异性的DNA标记，预计这将大大提高诊断的准确性．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据Using the new technology，

said．可以看出，预计该测试将在今年年底之前广泛用于临床应用．故研究人员对这种新方法持乐观态度．故选B．Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but expectations can be high when a film of a favourite book is made． There are very many times I have been disappointed by a film of a book I love． So maybe highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great movies may be made from not particularly good books．The source material may be anything from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non﹣fiction such as biography and autobiography, even those written by ghostwriters． All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics?A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is． Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question of what to leave out, and how to script the dialogue． Sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences． I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”．Another problem area is the cast． Whether suitable actors are found or not can mean the difference between success and failure． Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualize characters and have very definite ideas about how characters look and sound． This is where I think many film adaptations fall down．Some books are just too difficult to film for technical reasons, although movies like The Life of Pi are changing this perception． The impact of CGI technology has had a huge impact on the movie industry and allowed the previously unfilmable to become a reality． Sometimes authors are very involved in the process and many may even be the screenwriters． This can actually be a bad thing because they may be too close to thematerial and find it difficult to adapt． At other times they are not the screenwriters, and there are instances where writers have been very unhappy with the film versions of their work． Roald Dahl and Stephen King are examples of this． Even more extreme was novelist J． D． Salinger who made sure no film versions of his popular novels could ever be made． Inthis situation, it is clear viewers will not be disappointed．（1）In what situation adaptations from books to films possibly satisfy the audiences？________A.Adaptations of lower expectation from audiences．B.Adaptations of popular books．C.Adaptations of good books．D.Adaptations of books that audiences love．（2）Novelist J． D． Salinger is mentioned in the last paragraph in order to________．A.tell us how disappointed the audiences are．B.show that many authors are involved in the process of making films．C.prove that authors may not necessarily be good screenwriters．D.show some writers are against the idea of making books into films．（3）Which of the following presents the correct structure of the passage？________（4）What is the purpose of the passage？________A.To argue that good books should be adapted to films．B.To persuade the audiences to accept the adaptations from books to films．C.To explain the reasons why many adaptations from books to films failed．D.To inform that adaptations should be based on various kinds of books．【答案】ADBC【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文讲述的是为什么许多改编自书籍的电影最后失败了．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据“but expectations can be

you satisfied with the shape of your nose？（1）_______This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University， US． They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses．The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 peoplefrom four regions﹣West Africa， East Asia， South Asia and Northern Europe．（2）_______With the help of it， the researchers can get the results more accurately．“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate，” Arslan Zaidi，one of the lead authors of the study said． But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls， Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself．（3）_______They looked at the width of the nostrils （鼻孔），the distance between nostrils，the height， length and angle （角度）of the nose， and the size of the nose and the nostrils．The results showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates，while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates．（4）_______This is in turn，led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator．According to Zaidi，now we’ve only known a little about the relationship between climate and nose shape．（5）_______Through further study， researchers believe that they will get more findings which are valuable in understanding potential health issues in the future．A．There are a variety of nose shapes across the world．B．They examined seven nose traits （特征）that differ across populations and geographical areas．C．But more study is still needed to test the link between them．D．And 3﹣D facial imaging technology is used in the study．E．If not， the climate may be to blame， not your parents．F．The nose shapes are determined by many factors．G．That， Zaidi said， could be because narrower nose help to increase the wetness content of air and warm

But when he picks up his racquet （球拍）and begins to hit a ball, you quickly see that the young man just wants to 2 .Stroud began playing tennis at age 5 at the small tennis club which his parents owned. For years, he played against able-bodied players by putting rubber （橡胶）on the stumps （残余部分）of his legs. Though he was a foot （英尺）or two shorter than many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches. He became well-known enough that he got to 3 Rafael Nadal, his favorite player, at the US Open in 2013."The most important thing is that he's 4 ." Nadal told reporters about Stroud after that 15-minute meeting. "He's playing tennis… That's a great example of being happy even if your 5 doesn't give you everything."Stroud started playing wheelchair tennis at 13 and now he is No. 1 in the US.Earlier this summer, he played for the US in the world's biggest junior wheelchair team 6 event—the World Team Cup. He played six matches and won five of them as the US won the cup for the first time since 2000.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8."He is a polite boy, but he will rip（撕扯）your heart out trying to beat you, " Jason Harnett,a United States Tennis Association coach, said of Stroud.

In five minutes, the uber reached the gate. I just saw the car number and entered inside. I was so busy that I didn't pay any attention towards the driver. I was searching for an important paper from my bag, so I directly said, "Please, go quick! I'm in a hurry!"The voice came, "Yes, Lady!"I was really surprised when I heard a female （女性的）voice! I stopped my work for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady. Maybe, around thirty or thirty-two! For the first time, I saw a lady, driving an uber!The car was running on the road towards the destination （目的地）. It was quite far from my home. She was driving perfectly well. Hundreds of times, I had travelled in uber, but I never saw any lady, driving an uber! I didn't know, why I became so interested to know why she had chosen this job. I started the conversation, "If you don't mind, can I ask you some questions? ""Yes, Lady! No problem.""I guess, you are well educated!""Yes, Lady! I have completed my education. I have done my MBA course （课程）.""Oh, wow! !! Why did you then choose this job, instead of going for an academic （学术的）career? "I could see her face from the mirror （镜子）. She smiled and the way she expressed her views （看法）, I was really amazed!Very politely, she said, "Driving was my love from my childhood, Lady! Of course, I do respect each and every job. I took driving as mine. At least, I met my wish! I love driving! I don't mind for big or small jobs. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction.

A best friend is someone you can depend on to share your happiness, suffer through your worries, or lessen your sorrow （悲伤）. As one man put it, "To me, a best friend is somebody who you call if you're on the road and get a flat tire （爆胎）at 3:00 a.m. and you've been told it's four hours until a tow truck （拖车）can be sent. Your friend says, 'Tell me exactly where you are, and I'll come and get you.' "Different things lead to the birth of a best friendship—the age and situations in which people meet, what first attracts them, why they remain close, and how they fill each other's needs. Yet I find the most important points that explain the meaning of a best friend are remarkably （显著地）similar across most experiences. Safety is a word I heard over and over. A best friend makes you feel safe, protected and comfortable. You never have to explain yourself to best friends because they really, really know who you are. With best friends, you can be who you are. You can cry too hard or laugh too loud and never worry what they'll think of you because best friends are nonjudgmental （客观的）. They will give you advice if you want ideas and give you a kick in the pants if you need encouragement, but best friends will not judge you or make you feel ashamed of your behaviors. A best friend gives you what you expect from a parent and doesn't always get: unconditional love.Best friends are loyal （忠诚的）and trustworthy. A best friend is a person to whom you can tell your most shameful, truthful and harmful personal secrets with the full confidence they will never be repeated. Best friends can deliver brutally （冷酷无情地）honest answers in the most gentle way.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Finally, best friends are the family you choose. They love you because they want to, not because they have to. And for many people, a best friend becomes the brother or sister they'd always wanted, but never had.A man I knew asked his dying mother, "What has been the most important thing in your life? " He fully expected her to say her husband, her children or her family. Instead, without a moment's hesitation （犹豫）, she replied sweetly, "My friends."Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?Best friends share similar interests.Best friends don't argue with each other.Best friends have to help because they are a family.Best friends keep each other's secrets no matter what happens.What's the meaning of the underlined words "give you a kick in the pants" in Paragraph2?Pushing you to achieve your goal.Making you feel sorry about them.Forcing you to make a right decision.Expecting unconditional love from you.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?What kinds of friendship we have.What characters a best friend has.Why we should have a best friend.How a best friend helps us out of trouble.17.Everyone talks about the advantage of taking time out for "simple pleasures". The idea isthat we will be happier if we often do inexpensive, easy-to-do activities.However, the problem for many of us is that we don't know what makes us happy.When I was in college, my mother gave me some wise advice. She said, "Before you get married and live with another person, you need to spend some time living by yourself. You need to get to know yourself."So I did exactly that. For almost two years, I lived by myself. I found that I loved to spend hours looking around in bookstores. I also loved to spend an afternoon just walking around the city. And every so often, I needed the moments of pure silence.But, of course, we all don't enjoy the same things.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）（4）A simple pleasure for me would be to spend an hour reading a book in my backyard.However, that same activity would give my husband no pleasure. We are all so different.Sometimes, we already know what makes us happy. However, as life gets busier and we get older, we put aside our simple pleasures.For example, I had to give up playing the flute （长笛）when I started working and had family responsibilities. Playing my flute seemed selfish （自私的）when no one else in my family could join, but three years ago I returned to playing the flute. I regret having ever stopped.Simple pleasures are neither simple nor universal （普遍的）.Our simple pleasures are a reflection （反映）of who we are. They are different activities that give each of us joy.Certainly there are some common topics—such as being out in nature, doing something creative, or enjoying music and literature—but beyond that, each of us has to find out what it is that feeds our souls （灵魂）.That isn't always easy in a world in which we have to consider other people's needs and opinions as well as our own, but enjoying simple pleasures is something that each of us deserves （应得）.Think of it as your right, and say to yourself, "Today, I'm going to discover what my simple pleasures are."What is the writer's opinion about simple pleasures?They change as we grow older.They can reflect our characters.It's expensive to achieve them.People with no responsibilities can enjoy them.What does the writer want to tell by sharing her experience of living alone?Wise people often take their mothers' advice.A couple don't necessarily share the same interests.It's necessary to live alone before getting married.It's worth spending time alone enjoying simple pleasures.What can we learn from the writer's experience of playing the flute?We should develop an interest that others can take part in.Making our family happy is better than making ourselves happy.Keeping our interests alive is a good method to make ourselves happy.Family responsibilities are more important than our own interests.In the last two paragraphs, the writer .A. B. C. D.suggests readers pay no attention to others' opinionsencourages readers to get simple pleasures activelyteaches readers to balance others' needs with their own needsreminds readers to realize simple pleasures are the most important part of life回、份动垫靠趣18.What homework did you do in the winter holiday? Now homework is not simply aboutexercises. It can be researches, experiments and even work experiences. T ake a look at three students' special homework.Studying snacksOne day, Wang Yang, from Shanghai Yuying School, was doing his biology homework. His teacher asked them to research the nutrients（营养物质）of different snacks. He bought 10 kinds of snacks. Then he checked their ingredient（成分）lists one by one and wrote down the amount of sugar, fat and so on, in each. "We are told it is not good to eat too many snacks. They have high calories（卡路里）. But we always pay no attention to it, " he said. After analyzing（分析）each snack's ingredients, he realized it was true.Wang Yang spent three days on the homework. But he said it was interesting. "I learned a lot. I collected the data（数据）, created forms and wrote the report by myself."Physics in real lifeWith some plasticine（橡皮泥）, steel（钢铁）balls, a ping-pong ball and a piece of paper, could you make a tumbler（不倒翁）? This is the physics homework of Huang Jiameng, 14, of Shanghai 54 Middle School.Huang first cut the ping-pong ball in half. Then she put the plasticine and steel balls into one of them. The bottom of the tumbler was made. Finally, she used the paper to make the "hat" ."Next term, we will learn about the center of gravity（重心）. This homework made me more curious about it, " she said.Learning on the jobWhile Wang and Huang did their homework at home, Ding Zhenzhen, 15, of No. 5 Middle School, had to go outside. She worked as a guide in the local museum. ''Everyone at our school has to take part in volunteering or other activities, ” she said.Ding was a guide in the gallery（展馆）of coins. She got brochures（小册子）from the museum, but she still did research and added more information to her introduction. She worked three hours a day and had no time to take a break. But she felt it was a meaningful experience.（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）"My communication skills are improved, " she said.Where is Wang Yang from?How many days did Wang Yang spend on his homework?What was Huang Jiameng's physics homework?What did Ding Zhenzhen introduce to people?What's the three students' homework about?井、买鬼词遵，于钉乙－19.假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办 "才艺展示周" 活动。
