Gary Oldman is like the English version of Leonardo DiCaprio. They are both actors who are "underappreciated (未受到充分赏识的)", as GQ magazine said.

Her family name was Robinson, so when I was born in 1632 in England, they called me Robinson, after her.My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life."I want to be a sailor and go to sea", I told my mother and father.

And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, "We are sailing to London tomorrow.

The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and was very afraid."Oh, I don't want to die!" I cried, "I want to live! If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!"The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again."Well, Robinson," my friend laughed, "How do you feel now?

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom?Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another youngperson to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks likeus. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hairsit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences andwe are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves, or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stay with the same people, the samegroup. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same o pinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We l ose the chance to learn something new, find out interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers which prevent us fromgetting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知) ? If you wantto live in a society that opens to changes , new things and different opinions ,be the cat among thepigeons(鸽子).Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there insilence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That's how we make friends. That's how we learn about people. That's how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.（1） From the passage ,we know that people prefer sitting by someone who .A . is like themselvesB . has a sense of humorC . is open - mindedD . lives an exciting life（2） People like staying in their comfort zone because they may .A . remain comfortable and specialB . find out more interesting thingsC . be accepted easily and feel safeD . discover differences among themselves（3） The sentence "Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves." should be put at the beginning of .A . Paragraph 1B . Paragraph 2C . Paragraph 3D . Paragraph 4（4） What does the underlined word "barriers" mean in Paragraph 4 ?A . 联系B . 隔阂C . 纽带D . 熟悉（5） What is the purpose of the passage?A . To tell us not to talk with strangers.B . To introduce ways to learn about the world.C . To explain how people communicate with foreigners.D . To encourage us to get along with different people.2. （6分）(2019·广州模拟) 阅读理解Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a store owned by their father.

The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful(体贴的) of their wives. Then he went on to say. "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love. "To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would changeAnd it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweaterlooks great on you.""Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression."What's the matter?" I asked her."Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?""What do you mean?""Well…that checkup(体检)I had several weeks ago… our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me…am I dying?"It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey, "I said, wrapping her in my arms." You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."（1） In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts" probably means .A . unnecessarilyB . unexpectedlyC . impossiblyD . unconditionally（2） From the story we may infer(推断) that Tom went to the beach cottage .A . with his familyB . with EvelynC . aloneD . with his children（3） During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because .A . she looked lovely in her new clothesB . he had made a lot of money in Wall StreetC . he was determined to be a good husbandD . she was seriously ill（4） The underlined words "one thing" in the passage refer to the fact that .A . he praised her sweater, which puzzled herB . she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hatedC . he knew something about her illness but didn't tell herD . he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying（5） By saying "I'm just starting to live", Tom means that .A . he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeB . he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husbandC . he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD . he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wife3. （8分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

She asked her parents to buy a toy she wanted. Instead of giving her money to buy the toy, Taylor's father encouraged her to make money by herself. "How can I make money?" Taylor thought for a while and had an idea, "Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy?"The next day, Taylor started her plan. She first needed some money for tools and materials. So she borrowed $40 from her parents and promised to pay it back. Then she began to make cakes by herself. To her parents' surprise, she made $175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn't. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father's phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake(烘焙) a lot of cakes for customers. When she has dance lessons on some days, she needs to get her baking done on time so she isn't late for class.Making cakes may take time and be hard work, but Taylor sees the fun in it. "I think making cakes is mostly my hobby." she says. She also decorates(装饰) the boxes that are used to pack the cakes. Taylor uses all kinds of decorations to make sure each box looks special for her customers. People love the extra feeling Taylor gives them by decorating the boxes, so more and more people come for her cakes.Taylor's cakes are becoming very popular.

They were young adults. I didn't want to take their phones， nor could I shout at them. You can guess what happened.Some students were polite, using their phones between activities. Others would rudely text their friends during lessons, sometimes even while I talked to them. One young woman, K, openly played a game at her desk with earphones!Why did such a situation appear? I began to think my class was boring (probably true!) and that my students hated me (I could understand). But what could I do? I couldn't fail every student. Maybe I was just a boring teacher.With all the recent talk about banning(禁止) smartphones at schools, you might think I'm in favor. I'm actually not so sure. This technology isn't going away. Teachers probably need to change as much as students.I designed activities to let them use pens and paper, and moving around the room to talk to classmates. It kind of worked! I also found ways to use their phones. Things like research, translation and creative projects. I found that my students worked hardest on these activities.Phones might not be the biggest problem. Once, walking at school, I saw K standing alone in the dark.I could see her face, lit up by her mobile game. Maybe smart phone addiction (上瘾) at school is a sign of loneliness or a boring teacher.（1） As a university teacher, the author_________.A . used to shout at his students.B . failed his students who played with their phones.C . supported the idea of banning smart phones in schools.D . treated his students like young adults.（2） Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.A . what students looked at on their phones.B . how the author dealt with his students' problems.C . why students should not use phones in class.D . how students used their phones in the author's class.（3） How did the author change the situation?A . He talked to students who used their phones in class.B . He took his students' phones away before class.C . He designed activities to get more students to take part in.D . He made his students use pens and paper.（4） What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A . Teachers feel upset when students behave badly.B . Smartphone addiction might have some deeper causes.C . Many students are addicted to smart phones.D . Smartphone should not be banned in universities.3. （8分） (2017九上·拱墅期末) 阅读理解A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.

The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to lookfor him, but she didn't find him. The mother felt very sad and didn't know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling"The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming(责备)anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame.

Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools. I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, "Free ice cream!" To make sure of his words, I asked, "I'm sorry. What did you say?"" Free ice cream. Choose whichever you like," he said, smiling.After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talked with him for a longtime. He told me that his dream was to travel around, giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing. With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times. Now, some large companies were helping him with his plan.The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their hearts told them to do during their lives. I kept asking him, "So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal." "Yes, just meeting people and making them smile," he replied. At that point he handed me my ice cream. I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just ice cream. It can't easily be expressed in words.

Wang Fengqin, a 61-year-old woman in Beijing, volunteers to sort(分类)rubbish in her living area in Beijing’s Chaoyang District.At 6:30 every morning ,while half of Beijing is still in sleeping dreams in bed or enjoying a delicious breakfast, Wang rushes through her busiest hours in the day. She gets up, gives her face a quick wash, takes a simple breakfast and rushes to the four rubbish dustbins beside the gate of her living area. There she checks the waste left by her neighbors to make sure it is sorted correctly.“Sorting rubbish will improve the environment for all of us and it only takes a minute,” Wang said.“I want to help my neighbors develop good habits.”As Wang spoke, an old man came by and threw a plastic bag full of rubbish into the dustbinmarked“recyclable”.“Hey, please, there are some orange peels（皮）and fish bones in your bag, so they are supposed to be put into the dustbin marked ‘kitchen waste’,” Wang told him.Learning the old man was in a hurry, Wang let him go, opened the bag herself, picked out the kitchen waste and threw it in the right dustbin.Wang Fengqin has been doing this every day from 7:30 a. m. to 9 a. m. and from 6 p. m. to 8 p. m. since March 10. She says people usually go downstairs and throw out rubbish at this time.Most people had no idea about sorting rubbish at first, but now 90 percent can put rubbish in the correct dustbin, Wang says. However, she plans to keep doing this job until all her neighbors sort correctly.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
