A(2019·杭州诊断)In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class —we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”．It was like small town America didn’t exist.And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？” And this man was speechless.I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement.I want to reverse that movement.Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth athome?A．Secure. B．Fragile.C．Promising. D．Bright.2．How would the author feel about the professor’s reaction?A．It’s emotional. B．It’s natural.C．It’s positive. D．It’s disappointing.3．What is the author doing now?A．Teaching in a college.B．Fighting for the movement.C．Working with the professor.D．Devoting himself to his hometown.BCocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tonsof plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to “helpfix the world’s plastic waste problem one community(社区) at atime”．The soda giant is doing so by providing $5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of CocaCola employees，” Carlos Pagoaga, CocaCola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions，” he added. “We hope the learning from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the CocaCola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U．S. today are lack of access and the pollution in recycling，”Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 thatthe citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”Last year, CocaCola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. It also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.4．What does CocaCola company intend to do in the program?A．Produce less packaging.B．Help deal with plastic waste.C．Pick up waste in communities.D．Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.5．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How CocaCola conducts its program.B．What organizations participate in the program.C．How CocaCola chooses cities for the program.D．What the local people do in CocaCola’s program.6．What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?A．Promising. B．Difficult.C．Pioneering. D．Costly.C“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great firstimpressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities ininterviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减) overtime，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they’re part of a team，” Bendersky say s. “On a team you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.“So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player，” Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.7．What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?A．They are good listeners.B．They are good at cooperating.C．They often make great contributions.D．They tend to perform well in interviews.8．Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in paragraph 3?A．Trusting others.B．Making good choices.C．Doing their full share of work.D．Trying to share their thoughts.9．What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?A．Critical. B．Tolerant.C．Doubtful. D．Approving.10．What does Wilkins advise managers to do?A．Promote more introverts.B．Learn to work more efficiently.C．Encourage introverts to speak up.D．Avoid conflict among employees.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2019·云南第一次高中毕业生复习统一检测)It’s not what you look at that matters；it’s what you see.—Henry David ThoreauSlow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art, they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And th at’s an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That’s it.Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art.In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1，200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues(museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here’s a sample：“I loved taking the time to just‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It’s a much better way of visiting the art museum than the usual idle ra mble.Discussion afterwards was fun, interesting, informative and eyeopening.I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2019 is Saturday, April 14, in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.1．The author quotes Thoreau’s words at the beginning to ________．A．arouse readers’ interest in artB．introduce the topic of the textC．stress the importance of lookingD．illustrate the joy of art appreciation2．A typical slow art activity________．A．lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB．encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC．organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD．inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works3．What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A．The eighth Slow Art Day was held in 2019.B．It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C．It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D．Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1，200 different places.4．According to the text, the author________．A．has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB．strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC．sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD．is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsB(2019·黄岗检测)About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 or so hours each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.”Of course, trav eling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset (心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in__transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. Imeet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but wha t’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows：“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering... But suppose you could answer，‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’”Our generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons(视野). But I agree with Alan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizonexpansion wherever we happen to be. I think I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on my adventurer’s cap.5．According to the text, the author quit his job mainly because ________．A．it didn’t pay very wellB．Dusty advised him to do soC．he wanted to spend some time travelingD．he didn’t want to stay inside all day long6．What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A．What makes traveling so attractive.B．What is most important when traveling.C．How to find a new version of ourselves.D．How to spend an unforgettable holiday.7．The underlined words “in transit” in the third paragraph probably mean “________”．A．moving around B．working hardC．filled with curiosity D．full of enthusiasm8．What’s the best title for the text?A．An Exciting but Normal LifeB．Adventures in Our Own BackyardC．Go to Travel and Expand Your HorizonD．Get Outside and Explore for the UnknownC(2019·湖北八校高三第一次联考)I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony(殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs.Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came toMacao.Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a gi rls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.Mrs.Gutzlaff’s comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor.It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school.It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed.Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country than to allow me to attend an English school.Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth.I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learn English.In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school.As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.9．How was the author admitted to Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school?A．Through his father’s request.B．Through his father’s friend’s help.C．Through his own efforts to exams.D．Through Mrs.Gutzlaff’s influence.10．Why did the autho r’s parents put him into an English school?A．It met with Chinese public opinion.B．An English school was more influential.C．He could become a successful interpreter.D．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.11．What did the author think of his pare nts’ decision to put him into an English school?A．It was skeptical. B．It was wonderful.C．It was thoughtful. D．It was mysterious.12．What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?A．Results. B．Order.C．Tricks. D．Progress.D(2019·贵州普通高等学校招生适应性考试)Japan is a mysterious land of technological wonders, but the latest is a relatively simple solution to an age-old problem faced by beginners and professional chefs alike.Grocery stores across the country are about to s tart stocking onions that won’t make people cry.The new tear-free onion is called the Smile Ball, which is a pretty adorable name for a vegetable, and it’s an onion carefully engineered to not irritate(刺激) the eyes of people who cut into it.Regular onions release a gas when their cells are damaged and that gas irritates people’s eyes and makes them cry.The Smile Ball onions release no such a gas, so they can be chopped easily.They are also sweet like fruit when eaten raw.The scientific advancement of the tearless onion is not free, however.Smile Balls, developed by the Japanese producer House Foods, will cost about $ 4.30 for a pack of just two when they go on sale in supermarkets across Japan.That’s about double the cost of a normal onion, but it might be worth the extra money for those who are particularly sensitive to the traditional oniongas.Earlier test sales of the tear-free onions were held on Tokyo, with the onions selling out quickly.13．What can we learn about the Smile Ball?A．It never gives off a strong gas.B．It has a pretty look.C．It belongs to a new kind of fruit.D．It rarely goes bad.14．What’s mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A．How to produce tear-free onions.B．Tearless onions are more popular.C．The development of House Foods.D．People are sensitive to tearless onions.15．What can be the suitable title of the text?A．Say Goodbye to Regular OnionsB．Tear-free Onions vs Regular OnionsC．Onions That Don’t Make You CryD．The Future of Tear-free Onions第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFifty has never looked better.It’s been 50 years since the first James Bond film, Dr. No, premiered (首映) in cinemas. As first embodied by Scottish actor Sean Connery, Agent 007 was a fearless, cool-as-ice spy who excelled at sleuthing(侦查), fighting and saving the world.Since then, more than 20 films featuring the iconic spy have been released–making it one of the longest-running franchises (授权) in the history of cinema. On Nov 9, the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, celebrated the legend’s 50th birthday.Over the years, audiences have changed. It doesn't matter. Six different actors have acted 007 and it doesn't matter. Even shocking technological and cultural cha nges can’t bend Bond. Why? Is it the action, the sexy women, the cars, the gadgets and the exotic locations? Yes, but the most important reason is still the man himself. Bond can challenge his boss and shoot a bad guy in mere minutes. He is an expert in literature, languages, art and fine wines. He has a sharp tongue besides his wits.In the first film Dr. No, as Connery lit a cigarette, we heard James Bond’s voice and saw his café for the first time. The simple scene and short phrase have defined the character for half a century.“Next to the Beatles and Stones, James Bond was the greatest British import of the 1960s,” David Kamp, a US contributing editor for Vanit y Fair, wrote in a recent article about the birth of Bond and its influence on the US.The Bond phenomenon has clearly affected movie culture, pop culture and spy culture. But perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007 has survived in the age of feminism（女权主义）. “Talking of objectifying women, Bond is essential Huge Henfner (founder of Playboy magazine) with a gun,” movie critic Xan Brooks told The Guardian. “But women liked Bond, too. He couldn’t have run for 50 years with male fans alone.”We love Bond for many reasons—after all 50 years, Bond is still breathtaking. thrilling ride into the very heart of an icon like no other.But most of all, we may love him for one reason: “he always gets away with it.” one said.【文章大意】本文叙述了詹姆斯邦德电影50年来一直受欢迎。

A(2019 ·深圳高三第一次调研)Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997.Boscobel ’ s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of namingthe Woodland Trail in honor of the former Boscobel Board member,Frances Stevens Reese(1917－2003), one year after her death.The trail is approximately 10 miles in length, leading downto Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory wasoperating during the Civil War, trees for miles a round were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest,you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historical and environmental information written by area specialists.When you take a walk through this“ undiscover ed” forest land,please be a considerate guest.●B efore walking along the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House.Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.●Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail.Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of getting hurt by poisonous plants andsnakes.●Leave rocks, plants, animals and artworks where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.●Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail.

Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way：“ Africa is the cradle of humankind”and “Africans are passionate and generous ”．Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It ’ s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the emergence( 出现 ) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it ’ s easy for us to keep forgetting thatAfrica has one of the world ’s oldest civilizations — Egypt, born by the world ’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx ofGiza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings areonly bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year round andcovered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas( 稀树草原 ) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snow- capped Kilimanjaro —the highest mountain in Africa — and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar. These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperationwas held on Sept. 3 and 4 — to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient livingconditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people. In her eyes, herclassmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will andactivity.“ At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted — they wanted their culture to be respected.”4．Which of the following best explains the underlined“cradle” in paragraph2?A．A small bed for babies.B．A basket to hold something.C．A place for people to relax themselves.D．A place where something important began.5．What can we infer about Africa according to the passage?A．It is very hot all year round.B．It ’ s not a safe continent to live on.C．It ’ s different from what we imagine.D．It is bound to have a bright future.6．Which of the following would Huang agree with?A．To see is to believe.B．Think twice before you do.C．A miss is as good as a mile.D．Don’ t judge a person by his appearance.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Valuing a CultureB．Understanding AfricaC．Paying a Visit to AfricaD．Discovering a ContinentC(2019 ·合肥第一次质量检测)Have you ever heard of agritourismwhere you can experience the farm life?If not, Dr.CindyAyers-Elliott will tell you the real story of Food Print Farms.The original concept of building Food Print Farms was simple.When Ayers - Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’ t have to look any further than her state’ s alarming health statistics to find a mission.Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesityand heart disease.“The problem was already identified，” explains Ayers- Elliott. “ Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state’ s greatest health challenges could directly resultfrom poor diet.”These days, Food Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown fo od. “When speaking of the key to my success, the co - op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers -Elliott. “ A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn themoney for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours aweek on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1 ， 000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T - shirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their e fforts. ”“It ’ s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I ’ m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities ，” Ayers - Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sowin their own communities when they return home.8．What made Ayers - Elliott set up Food Print Farms?A．The problems faced by local farmers.B．Her further research into heart disease.C．The failure of her career after graduation.D．The health state of people in her hometown.9．Why does the author take the football team as an example?A．To advocate the concept of independence.B．To stress the importance of teamwork.C．To support the idea of co- op model.D．To explore the key to success.10． What is Ayers - Elliott’ s attitude towards the future of Food Print Farms?A．Optimistic.B．Skeptical.C．Cautious.D．Ambiguous.11． What is the main idea of the text?A．Naturally grown food benefits people’ s health.B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.C．Ayers - Elliott encourages people to experience the farm life.D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.D(2019 ·武汉高三调研)Anxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions of years to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger.But feeling anxious because you hear a noise on a dark street isn’t the same thing as having an anxiety disorder.“The key thing we look for in the clinic is whetheranxiety is interfering(阻碍) with a person ’ s day- to - day life,or causing them a lot of unhappiness，” says Nick Grey of King’ s College London.To clinical psychologists like Grey,“ maladaptive(不适应的) beliefs” are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxietysomeone has. In social anxiety disorder,the most commonanxiety disorder,you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and aftersocial events.If you have panic disorder, you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxiety—a pounding heart,breathing difficulty, feeling dizzy—will then come on in a rush. Everyone canexperience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacksare regular and become a source of anxiety themselves.Other“ maladaptive beliefs” are less specific.

A(2019·浙江瑞安高三第一次调研)When Huang Lizhi took her firstclass in African sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in SouthAfrica in February, her professor asked her and her classmates whatimpressed them most when it came to Africa.Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “poverty”and “safari”—negative words that were often associated with the continent in media reports—were the kind of terms her African classmates didn’t want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way：“Africa is the cradle of humankind”and“Africans are passionate and generous”．Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It’s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the emergence(出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it’s easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the world’s oldest civilizations—Egypt, born by the world’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year round and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas(稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro—the highest mountain in Africa—and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar. These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on ChinaAfrica Cooperation was held on Sept. 3 and 4—to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people. In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted—they wanted their culture to be respected.”1．Which of the following best explains the underlined “cradle” in paragraph 2?A．A small bed for babies.B．A basket to hold something.C．A place for people to relax themselves.D．A place where something important began.2．Which of the following would Huang agree with?A．To see is to believe.B．Think twice before you do.C．A miss is as good as a mile.D．Don’t judge a person by his appearance.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Valuing a CultureB．Understanding AfricaC．Paying a Visit to AfricaD．Discovering a ContinentBHave you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farmlife? If not, Dr. Cindy AyersElliott will tell you the real story of Food PrintFarms.The original concept of building Food Print Farms was simple. WhenAyersElliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，”explains AyersElliott.“Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”These days, Food Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the coop model works because we share the work and rewards，”notes AyersElliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, Tshirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”“It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that—to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，”Ayers-Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.4．What made Ayers-Elliott set up Food Print Farms?A．The problems faced by local farmers.B．Her further research into heart disease.C．The failure of her career after graduation.D．The health state of people in her hometown.5．Why does the author take the football team as an example?A．To advocate the concept of independence.B．To stress the importance of teamwork.C．To support the idea of coop model.D．To explore the key to success.6．What is the main idea of the text?A．Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.C．AyersElliott encourages people to experience the farm life.D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.CAnxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions ofyears to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger. Butfeeling anxious because you hear a noise on a dark street isn’t the samething as having an anxiety disorder. “The key thing we look for in the clinicis whether anxiety is interfering(妨碍) with a person’s daytoday life, or causing them a lot of unhappiness，”says Nick Grey of King’s College London.To clinical psychologists like Grey, “maladaptive(不适应的) beliefs” are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has. In social anxiety disorder, the most common anxiety disorder, you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and after social events.If you have panic disorder, you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxiety—a pounding heart, breathing difficulty, feeling dizzy—will then come on in a rush. Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety themselves.Other “maladaptive beliefs”are less specific. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities, for at least six months. If you have this condition, the belief driving your anxiety could, for example, be the feeling that it’s your job to take care of other people, or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all costs. To decide who to refer for further treatment, doctors might use a tool called the GAD-7 test.7．Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder?A．Quarreling with parents.B．Getting to school earlier.C．Missing a lunch.D．Knocking on the wall.8．What is social anxiety characterized by?A．Continuous worries.B．Past experiences.C．Maladaptive beliefs.D．Frequent terrors.9．What will happen to you when you have panic disorder?A．You can’t stand steadily.B．Your face turns red.C．You can’t touch anything.D．Your hands feel numb.10．What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others?A．Generalized anxiety.B．Panic attacks.C．Social anxiety.D．Acute anxiety attacks.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

社会生活类(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ·C) (2013·大纲版全国卷·C)Given that many people’s moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory,Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF’s produce is“green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper,red bean(豆),cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.【文章大意】本文介绍了新加坡的Chocolate Research Facility,它拥有100多种巧克力,并且着重介绍了几种很有风味的巧克力。

That's when the annual Festival of Lights(around December 8) takes over，with light installations(装置) that transform the city's streetscapes into modern works of art.The city is also home to two Christmas markets(one in La Croix?Rousse; the other at the Place Carnot; through December 25)．Lima，PeruPeru's capital Lima is home to the world's highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its delicate dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour. Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s，and you'll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.Vermont，USWinter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. Many resorts(度假胜地) have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, low-energy models. These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season，meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个冬天受人欢迎的游览之地：中国的哈尔滨，法国的里昂，秘鲁的利马以及美国的佛蒙特州。
