As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a flight attendant and traveling the world, so she learned at least three languages. Although she was not able to become a flight attendant, Sadikova could speak Uzbek, Russian, English and Turkish. Sadikova has never traveled abroad but reports feeling connected to people around the world.American Trina Bright worked in education for nearly 25 years and she traveled to many countries, including China and South Africa. Bright used stories from her travels to help her students in the U.S. understand their place in the world and see value in their own cultures. But Bright, unlike Sadikova, does not report feeling connected to people around the world.Bright is not alone. Pew Research Center recently asked people in 24 countries a series of questions about how connected they feel to the world to see how travel experience relates to feelings of connectedness.The study found that respondents （调查对象）who had traveled to at least one other country feel more connected to people around the world . 99 percent of respondents in the Netherlands reported having visited at least one other country and 77 percent of respondents from the Netherlands said they feel at least somewhat close to people all over the world. But international travel does not always mean a person feels a closeness to people around the world. 99 percent of Swedish respondents said they had visited at least one other country. Yet a much smaller number of Swedish respondents-47 percent - report feeling close to people all over the world.Sadikova said she felt connected to the world because of media, which makes it quite easy to get to know events and news.4. Why did Saodat Sadikova learn several languagesA. To move abroad.B. To broaden her view.C. To connect to the world.D. To achieve her flying dream.5. What benefit did Trina Bright get from her travelsA. She improved her education.B. She applied them to herteaching.C. She understood the value of culture.D. She could speak a foreign language.6. What did the Pew research focus onA. How people get to know the world.B. Why people enjoy international travel.C. How people feel connected to the world.D. Why travel influences the connection of people.7. What can we learn from paragraph 4A. The result of the research.B. The aim of the research.C. The method of the research.D. The process of the research.CIf you thought that your child’s academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factor is physical health. Physical activity and health ac tually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regularaerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain.The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted（推动）. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable choice but as an important educational concern.8. Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memoryA. Regular aerobic exercise.B. Balance exercise.C. Muscle exercise.D. Resistance training.9. How does exercise influence thinking indirectlyA. By releasing growth factors in large numbers.B. By influencing the growth of new blood vessels.C. By affecting the survival of new brain cells.D. By improving a person ' s mood and sleep quality.10. What does the underlined word " dispensable " mean in the last paragraphA. Unique.B. Unnecessary.C. Unusual.D. Universal.11. What is the passage mainly aboutA. Mental health should never be ignored.B. Physical education class is really a good option.C. Exercise may bring about good academic grades.D. Different exercises have different results on the brain.DThe planet is in trouble, and a gas-car ban just might help. But how will it affect you Cars are not small investments. They make a big impact on our wallets--but also on t he environment. That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August and other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. Sure, reducing our use of gas by choosing more eco - friendly carscould slow climate change and help everyone live more sustainably, not to mention save money on gas in the long run. But what would happen to people 's cars Would they have to buy an expensive new electric vehicle right nowWell, let's set a few things straight first: This isn't a full - on ban. People living in or visiting California will still be able to drive gas cars, as well as buy and register used internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles, well after the law takes effect. But in a little over a decade, residents will not be allowed to register new gas - burning cars. It will take more than a decade for the ban to take effect fully -2035, to be exact.Why is California banning gas cars It ' s all about the environment. More than half of California ' s carbon pollution comes from the transportation sector, and eliminating ICE vehicles is a critical first step in addressing the climate crisis. California has seen the impact of climate change firsthand in the form of natural disasters such as floods, mudslides, record - breaking droughts and extreme wildfires, all of which have increased in frequency and intensity in recent years.However, new rules and laws can be fearsome, and hard to carry out at first. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) also don ' t get as many miles per charge, making them difficult for long - distancetrips and states with few charging stations. Related to that, the country needs more public charging stations. But, of course, the biggest barrier to more people getting excited about electric vehicles is price, which is currently higher than traditional vehicles due to their expensive batteries.Still, Rauch is hopeful." As someone who is focused on the health benefits of reducing pollution, I see the benefits as vastly outweighing the challenges," she says." At the end of the day, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to breathe clean air "12. What ' s people ' s attitude towards the gas - car banA. They were totally indifferent to it.B. They held mixed opinions towards it.C. They had a flood of complaints about it.D. They thought highly of it and welcomed it.13. Why did California decide to ban gas carsA. To prevent natural disasters from happening.B. To deal with the severe transportation problem.C. To ease the influence of serious climate change.D. To follow the example of other states with gas - car ban.14. Which is NOT a possible disadvantage of EVsA. Limited miles per charge.B. Limited charging stations.C. Higher prices at present.D. More carbon pollution.15. Where might this text be taken fromA. A magazine.B. A textbook.C. A biography.D. A research report. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Her name is Paula so we call her Miss Paula.The first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that good friends are always nice to each other.Miss Paula has been teaching us a lot of things. Some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway (过道). Miss Paula says she can’t change the rule that we can’t make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other. She is teaching us sign language. I already know how to say “hello” and “how are you” with my hands. Now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.Miss Paula likes everybody even Sam and nobody likes Sam. He never does what he’s told but now he is doing better. Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are. I guess that includes Sam.This week at school was really the best ever. I didn’t even get in trouble when I thought I would because I spilled (洒) milk on my homework and had to hand it in when it was still wet. Miss Paula just smiled and asked “What’s this?” So I told her what happened. Miss Paula put it near the window to make it dry. She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us.Well I have to go and get ready for bed now. I have school in the morning and I want to wake up early so I will have time to pick Miss Paula some flowers.4．From the passage we know that Miss Paula ________.A．is strict with the writer B．changed the school rulesC．is very kind to her students D．uses sign language in class5．From Paragraph 4 what do we learn about Sam?A．Sam dislikes his new teacher.B．Sam has made some progress.C．Sam is often praised by Miss Paula.D．Sam is one of the writer’s best friends. 6．How did the writer probably feel when he handed in his homework?A．Bored.B．Excited.C．Relaxed.D．Worried. 7．We can learn from the passage that the writer ________.A．loves and respects her new teacher B．is a bit afraid of her new teacherC．always picks her teacher some flowers D．wrote this article in the morningOn Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.When I first signed them up for forest school program, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly, they stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, which fittingly removed it.In this program, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to self-adjust. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows. :“What about all the things they’re missing in real school?” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close-a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.8．What is special about the forest school program?A．Teachers engage in kids’ play.B．Kids play and learn outdoors.C．It focuses on nature protection.D．It offers various food and drinks. 9．How did the author feel about kids’ reaction to her questions?A．Awkward.B．Concerned.C．Relieved.D．Proud. 10．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The concerns caused by the program.B．The benefits gained from role plays.C．The skills acquired by children.D．The games loved by teachers.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Nature: a wonderland for the youngB．Forest school program proves a hitC．Parks are replacing traditional schoolsD．Forest school: a fine place for my kidsFinally came Wednesday! I walked onto campus feeling nervous even though I had walked these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.I looked at my schedule. First period — German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn't like, though, was that I was surrounded by students from other grades, with only five familiar faces.Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period — biology. Our teacher's name is peau, and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet,” she says “alligator.” She explained that she is the king, or should I say queen, of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps (沼泽).”My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge, I began to feel good. However, the third period changed everything. Mr.V.,my English teacher, told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very“focused” year for me. While doing homework, I was often talking on the phone, or busy with a conversation on Facebook. I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student.12．What did the author mainly write about in this passage?A．Her new teachers.B．Her plan for the new year.C．Her first day of senior high.D．Her schedule for Wednesday. 13．What should students do when Ms. Compeau says "alligator"?A．Sit still.B．Stop talking.C．Listen to the teacher.D．Look at the blackboard.14．How did the author find her first two classes?A．Unattractive.B．Informative.C．Very tiring.D．Pretty easy. 15．Why did the author feel scared during the third period?A．Because she couldn't focus on her work.B．Because she found the class demanding.C．Because she didn't like the teacher.D．Because she did poorly at school.二、七选五This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and that worries.This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It’s hard not to like her. 17 .She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.She’s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.She’s responsible. 18 But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school.She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child’s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid’s textbook in the toilet.19 She’s always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher’s chair and desk.20 Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.A．Here are the changes in my daughter.B．Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything.C．Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry—her new class teacher.D．Her diary was good.E．She has a good class teacher.F．She used to be careless and forgetful.G．She does well in school.三、完形填空were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start. Then I realizedwould take a new way. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I found Chaffey College. The next Monday, I went to 33 for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is 34 , but it pays off. My daughter had to write a story for school. It was about the person she most admired (钦佩) and why. She wrote that I was the person she most admired 35 I had started going to college. 21．A．walked B．ran C．came D．returned 22．A．preferring B．trying C．refusing D．offering 23．A．excuses B．stories C．problems D．dreams 24．A．excited B．afraid C．hungry D．happy 25．A．himself B．herself C．myself D．itself 26．A．help B．call C．welcome D．understand 27．A．usually B．never C．often D．always 28．A．believing B．knowing C．hurting D．helping 29．A．sleep B．speak C．read D．smile 30．A．at the back of B．across from C．next to D．in front of 31．A．store B．school C．bank D．library 32．A．books B．movies C．food D．games 33．A．look B．care C．ask D．reach 34．A．different B．important C．difficult D．terrible 35．A．so B．though C．because D．unless四、用单词的适当形式完成短文of by bike.

His story is proof that necessity is truly the mother of4.A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs. In an experiment, they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds of a healthy ocean reef.The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia's northern Great Barrier Reef. They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played. The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area, the researchers found. Among the arriving fish were species that feed on all major food sources.Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. "Damaged reefs have a higher chance of recovery if they have healthy fish populations," the scientists wrote in the report. Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places. They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen for these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle.Reefs "become ghostly quiet" when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can cause unappealing smells and sounds that drive shrimp and fish away. But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back. The return of these fish is the first step to seeing major improvements in reef health. Recovery is supported by fish that clean the reef and create space for corals to regrow. The underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But other threats need to be reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and overfishing.（1）The final purpose of putting sounds speaker systems underwater is to ________.A.catch more fishB.attract more speciesC.help damaged coralD.cause more fish to return（2）What can we learn from the text?A.Healthy sea life contributes to the ocean environment.B.Healthy corals depend on a variety of sea species.C.Coral reefs become noisy when they suffer pollution.D.Coral damage is caused by unappealing smells and sounds.（3）What's the best title of this passage?e Sounds to Call Fish Back to CoralB.Find Ways to Recover Sea Ecological BalanceC.Coral Reef Damage, Human's ErrorD.Coral Reef Needs Peaceful Environment（4）Where is the passage most likely from?A.A researcher's diary.B.A geographic guidebook.C.An academic report.D.A technological magazine.D.The time management.（2）What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Ways to find the precise entry angle.B.Consequences of wrong entry degree.C.Factors to survive "the seven minutes".D.Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.（3）What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4?A.The spot.B.The area.C.The system.D.The surface.（4）What can be inferred from Lori Glaze's words?A.Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.B.Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.C.Man still has a long way to go to prove life was on Mars.D.Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the earth.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，你校正在招募志愿者，为春节期间中外学生交流活动做准备。

Davani wasn't the only one.Teacher Ron McDevitt gave all his students a chance of getting a high grade if they could beat the cube,and he gave more scores for faster times. "A Rubik's Cube is a lot like math," explained McDevitt. "If you make one bad move with the cube,you have to go back a step or start over.At math,it's the same way.It forces you to go slowly and be patient."For Davani,solving the cube was great fun.With about six months of practice,he could solve the Rubik's Cube in under 30 seconds.So Davani decided to enter a world competition in Las Vegas.Davani is placed in the middle among about 800 competitors,and with more practice,he hopes to raise his position next year.He also got to meet cubers from 37 countries,and had lunch with four of the best cubers.So how does Davani solve the cube so quickly？"It's mostly just practice," he said. "You will form muscle （肌肉）memory after lots of practice.You memorize the method and you don't even have to think about it.Your fingers move naturally.""I teach my kids how to solve it and they can me now," said McDevitt whose best record is around two minutes,much longer than many of his students. "I've never had a student take it as far as Davani and compete.That's pretty cool."14.Why did Davani learn to solve the Rubik's Cube______A. To enrich his life.B. To get a higher grade in math.C. To develop a new interest.D. To prepare for a competition.15.In what way is the Rubik's Cube like math？______A. They both require patience.B. They both test people's memory.C. They both need people to finish quickly.D. They both teach people to learn from mistakes.16.What is Davani's secret to solving the cube so quickly______A. He learns from others' experience.B. He has strong muscles.C. He has good memory.D. He practices hard.17.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "vanquish" in the last paragraph？______A. believeB. followC. beatD. awardCResearchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees （黑猩猩）use to communicate.They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a "vocabulary" of 66 gestures.The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda,and examining more than 5，000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter,who led the research,said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom.Only humans and chimps,she said,had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member. "That's what's so amazing about chimp gestures," she said. "They're the only thing that looks like human language in that respect."Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal's call,the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages.This was a significant difference between calls and gestures,Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate.In one case,a mother presents her foot to her crying baby,signalling："Climb on me." The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother's back and they travel off together. "The big message from this study is that there is another species （物种）out there that is meaningful in its communication,so that's not unique to humans," said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz,an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester,said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of humanlanguage.But,she added,the results were "a little disappointing"."The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate,or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions," she said. "Moreover,the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication.So,it seems the remains."18.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter______A. Memorizing specific words.B. Understanding complex information.C. Using voices to communicate.D. Communicating messages on purpose.19.What did Dr Shultz think of the study？______A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.20.What does the underlined word "gulf" in the last paragraph mean？______A. Difference.B. Conflict.C. Balance.D. Connection.21.Which of the following is the best title for the text？______A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC. Chimpanzees：the smartest species in the animal kingdomD. Chimpanzee language：communication gestures translatedDI noticed two male bluebirds.They appeared to be helping a female with a group of newly-born birds.I wanted to know if one of the males was an invader （入侵者）.This is the fun of bird watching — you never know when you'll find something exciting and unusual.Like 90% of the bird world,one male bluebird pairs with only one female,and together they raise a family.But sometimes a third adult shows up and helps the pair raise the young.Often it is a relative.The most likely reasons a lone bluebird becomes a "helper bird" are that it either has lost its mate （配偶）or failed to get one during the mating season.Both the mated pair and the helper get some advantages when helping happens.Every time the helper brings food to the nest （巢），one of the parents is free to take care of its own needs for a few minutes.Helpers also protect the nest by driving away possible enemies.The helper's gain is less direct but equally valuable.He or she （helpers can be male or female）learns how to be a parent.Though raising babies is natural,skilled parents usually are more successful.The Florida scrub jay is a kind of bird living in the U.S.state of Florida.Many pairs of Florida scrub jays "have" one to six ually the helpers are older children,and they do their jobvery well.Nests with helpers have 50% more young than nests without helpers （about half the jays don't use helpers）.Helping in scrub jays seems related to a shortage of nesting habitats.Young jays must wait for older birds to die to get a nest.During the time,they help raise their younger brothers and sisters.22.Why may a bluebird be a helper for other bird pairs？______A. It has no mate of its own.B. It wants to be a parent itself.C. It wants to live in others' nests.D. It is good at raising baby birds.23.What advantage does a helper bird get from being a helper______A. Practicing building nests.B. Being an experienced parent.C. Having its own needs satisfied.D. Finding a mate as soon as possible.24.What can we learn from the last paragraph？______A. Florida scrub jays are an endangered species.B. Some Florida scrub jays will die without a nest.C. Florida scrub jays need great help from humans.D. More young Florida scrub jays survive with helpers.25.What is the main idea of the text______A. Bluebirds share nests.B. Animals are human-like.C. Helper birds feed and raise young of others.D. Bird watching brings people close to nature.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）When to Say "No" to Antibiotics （抗生素）Although they know that antibiotics kill only bacteria but not viruses and the obvious risk of antibiotic overuse to personal health,many doctors still use antibiotics when the drugs are not necessary. (1) In some serious cases,the patients with them failed to respond to any medical treatment and died within days.Therefore,several medical organizations have tried to correct antibiotic misuse by explaining when the drugs are not needed.Ear DiseasesEaraches account for over half of ear related diseases for children.Most earaches gradually heal with no antibiotic in days,especially in children two and older. (2) In severe cases or when children under two years old experience moderate to severe pain,antibiotics might be required. Eye DiseasesDoctors often use antibiotic eye drops after treating related diseases.Macular Degeneration,for example,is an eye disease generally treated with injections or laser operation.But those drops are rarely needed after such procedures and can even damage patients' eyes.Lung DiseasesFor older patients,particularly those who live in long-term care centers,doctors need to use antibiotics when a routine test finds bacteria in lung. (3)Throat Diseases(4) Therefore,antibiotics shouldn't be widely used in treatments for such diseases.Only less than one third of strep throats are bacterial.If you suspect bacterial throat,get tested to find out for sure.Another report,conducted by the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,also indicates that antibiotic misuse affects at least two million people annually,killing more than 23，000. (5) Therefore,health experts urge all doctors in practice to follow the above instructions.A.Most throat diseases are caused by viruses.B.Just wait two days to see if symptoms disappear.C.But if the result proves normal,the drugs won't help.D.In this case,antibiotics are the most effective for the old.E.Most doctors already know it,so they say no to antibiotics.F.Under such circumstances,limiting antibiotic misuse is a must.G.This may develop the "superbugs"，which can't be easily controlled.26. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G27. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G28. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G29. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G30. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）现代文阅读Ⅰ（本题共5小题，19分）阅读下面的文字，完成1～5题。
为小说选择一个视角可能是你要做的最重要的决策之一。
但是，许多作者，甚至那些已有作品出版的作家，面对视角问题也经常一头雾水，一知半解。
掌握好视角是所有小说作者必备的技能，因为它跟冲突与悬念关系密切，是小说成功最需要的东西。
可供你选择的视角有两种：第一人称视角和第三人称视角。
在第一人称的下面还有两个选项：现在时和过去时。
在第三人称的下面也有两个选项：有限的第三人称视角和无限的第三人称视角。
你或许会想：“怎么把第二人称给落下了呢？”是的，有的小说家确实用过第二人称视角。
我的建议是你不要跟风这样做。
假如你真的非要这样做，那么请记住这条建议：你坐在自己的书桌前，然后以第二人称视角开始创作。
这似乎是你拓展自己文学风格的好办法。
你知道这会减少你的作品出版的机会，而且大多数读者会发现这部小说是令人难以卒读的。
但是，你还是决心要把它统统弄明白，然后再用它创作，看看效果如何。
你希望自己有个好运气。
全知型视角又是怎么回事？顾名思义，它的意思是知道一切，所以全知型视角有时候也被称为“准上帝视角”。
叙事者可以随心所欲地想到哪里就写到哪里，任何时候都可以洞悉任何人物的心灵深处，或者叙事者可以腾空而起，然后像摄像机一样描述事态。
这种全知的口吻可以评论世间百态，比如他可以发出“这是最好的时代，这是最坏的时代”这样的感慨；或者，作者也可以保留自己的看法，超然物外。
既然这个视野源于“上帝之眼”，作者可以灵活自如地把主观看法强加于人物，其主观程度可高可低。
如今，全知型叙事已经很少见了，可是对于某些风格的长篇小说，尤其是长篇史诗性小说来说，这个视角还是一个比较好的选择。
它允许作者向读者灌输大篇幅的背景信息。

species began to disappear from Kandal Province，he grew worried.So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in Cambodia.He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature.H said，"The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that，it is due to the demand from the rich
