When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address?" "No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”
"Oh, stop. There it is!"
The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
"May I help you?" a man asked. "No," I said. "we're fine." Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy（爱窥探的）, keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are?" he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "what's this place?" I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted（震颤）, I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "There's some really good stuff（艺术作品）up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we
stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?"
"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone."
"That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you."
（1）What do we know about Marian McNay?
A.She was a community leader.
B.She was a painter.
C.She was a journalist.
D.She was a museum director.
（2）Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?

There's a new frontier in 3D printing that's beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn't stopping there.
Food production
With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that—it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to "re-create forms and pieces" of food that are "exactly the same," freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.
Sustainability（可持续性）
The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production
will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids（水解胶体）from plentiful renewables like algae（藻类）and grass to replace the familiar ingredients（烹饪原料）. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing
up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.
Nutrition
Future 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, "Food printing could allow consumer to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday's bread from the supermarket, you'd eat something baked just for you on demand."
Challenges
Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste（糊状物）before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes
and high-end restaurants.
（1）What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?
A.It saves time and effort in cooking.
B.It helps cooks to create new dishes.
C.It contributes to restaurant decorations.
D.It improves the cooking conditions.
（2）What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraph 3?
A.It quickens the transportation of food.
B.It solves food shortages easily.
C.It uses renewable materials as sources of food.
D.It needs no space for the storage of food.
（3）According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ______
A.can meet individual nutritional needs.
B.is more available to consumers.
C.can keep all the nutrition in raw materials.
D.is more tasty than food in supermarkets.
（4）What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?
A.3D food printers are too expensive.
B.The printing process is complicated.
C.Some experts doubt 3D food printing.
D.Food materials have to be dry.
（5）What could be the best title of the passage?
A.A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing.
B.3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology.
C.3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table.
D.The Challenges for 3D Food Production.

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear, we are numb（麻木的）to new stimulation（刺激）, new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession（痴迷）many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
（1）According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ______
A.sensitive to others' feelings.
B.anxious to do wonders.
C.eager to explore the world around them.
D.likely to develop unpleasant habits.
（2）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A.To stop complaining all the time.
B.To avoid jumping to conclusions.
C.To admit mistakes honestly.
D.To follow the teacher's advice.
（3）The bird watchers' behavior shows that they ______
A.are really fascinated by nature.
B.are very patient in their observation.
C.question the accuracy of the field guides.
D.care only about the names of birds.
（4）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
B.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.
C.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
D.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
（5）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______
A.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.
B.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.
C.try our best to protect nature.
D.open our mind to new things and ideas.

21. Some people live to climb the highest mountains． Some people live only dreaming about it while others live t o avoid ever climbing at all． But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life．
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain． One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs． What could these ste ps lead to?

Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain． Could there be a castle up there? Maybe I would find a monster（怪
物）．Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home． Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost． I could hardly wait to try this adventure agai n．
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can't do" attitudes． We all fall down． We all have doubts and regret s． Still we must climb and dream about what's at the top of our mountain． Monsters may appear or the night will fall． But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you, "You can't．" Dream big and climb high!

2018年天津高考英语：巧解高考完型 (1)
2018年天津高考英语：巧解高考完型 众所周知，完形填空往往是同学们在考试当中失分最多、提分最慢也是最没把握的一个题型。这也令我们大部分的高三考生头疼不已。今天，我们就来帮助大家好好分析一下这个“障碍”，下文会给大家一些实用的解题小建议，已起到“敲砖引玉”的作用。 从命题规律上说，高考完形填空遵循“文章内容体现生活化”和“以实词为主，虚词为辅，突出词汇语境化”的命题原则，综合考查考生的语言知识与能力。体裁多以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主。 未来高考完形填空题将更加侧重于考查语境，而实词能较好地体现语境。因此，动词、名词、形容词和副词的运用将会是完形填空考查的重中之重。 一、考情分析 命题规律：高考完形填空遵循“文章内容体现生活化”和“以实词为主、虚词为辅，突出词汇语境化”的名词原则，综合考查考生的语言知识与能力。 命题趋势：未来高考完形填空题将更加侧重于考查语境，而实词能较好地体现语境。因此，动词、名词、形容词和副词的运用将会是完形填空考查的重中之重。 二、真题统计 三、解题步骤 1. 通读原文——抓中心，理逻辑，懂大意 第一遍读文章时不要做题，而是跳过空格，通读试题所给的要填空的短文，获得整体印象，做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨，较好地把握短文大意。在读第一遍时要注意先读懂文章的首句和末句，因为这两句往往是没有被挖空的句子。它们往往是全文的关键句，是文章的“窗口”和“指南”，可作为解题的突破口。通过读文章
的首句一般可判断文章的体裁、人物、时间、事件和事态等。文章的最后一句或最后一段，往往是故事发展的结果，所陈述的事件的结论、启示性的提示，或是对全篇文章的概括。因此，先读一读末句对理解文章是很有帮助的。 ①首句：一般不设空——画一个中心词（人/事/物） 首句通常是文章的主题句，通常不设空，便于考生对短文主体、内容或背景有个大概了解。它的目的是向考生提供时间、地点、人物、事件、论点等有用的信息。把握主题句，对于理解全文和解题很有帮助。 （2016天津）The journey my daughter Cathy has had with swimming is as long as it is beautiful. ②带空阅读且简单空可以填——固定搭配，语感，简单推断 （2016课标全国Ⅲ）Just before September, Miller was struck b a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from 4 _____. A. school ③尾句/尾段——确认自己对于文章中心的把握 （2015天津）My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home. That’s how we found our home and how I learned that when people are ____, they are not strangers, only friends we haven’t met yet. 2.精读+做题——解题技巧 ①语境信息解题法——（两类提示+三大原则） 提示信息的种类：词，句子...... 提示信息的位置：上文，下文，紧邻，较远（牢记原则和放一放原则）完形填空最主要的特点就是语境，即上下文。所以语境便是我们做题最重要的法门。完形填空中，有80%-90%的空都可以在上下文中找到提示信息，所以我们在做题的过程中，一定要注意该空的前后文。这些提示信息可能是一个词，句子，事件或者“and”“but”连词。它们可能就在该空的上一句或下一句，也可能在距离该空比较远的地方。对于提示词比较远的时候，我们有两种选择：①先猜，然后通过后文的提示进行确认；②先放一放，找到提示信息再返回做题。 提示信息的种类： a.有时候，设空的提示信息就是与之相关的一个词，通过这个词，我们可以从四个选项中排除出正确的答案。 （2016天津）Cathy suffered some terrible 16____ in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17____became healthy. 16.A. failure B. pressure C. loss D. Illness It was the greatest 34_____ of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35______ in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功). 34.A. discovery B. choice C. influence D. Moment

2017年6月天津高考英语卷子 阅读C、D翻译
2017 6月 D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing a ll of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the iss ue, let?s take a look at three types of “waits”. The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most anno ying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it?s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wan ders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of w ait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand fi ve minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After a ll, Forced Waiting requires patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is u nusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过，我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是，我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说，这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题，让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。 等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问，这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候，你绝对不能做任何事情，但要让双眼紧盯着水槽，直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中，大脑会从身体上滑出，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。 守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤，需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸，加入混合物，煮三分钟，从火中取出，放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟，强迫等待需要耐心。 也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的，因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待，这也是自愿的，等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。 把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望，这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看，这似乎很荒谬，就像在汤混合上的说明一样，但幸运的是，那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它，希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。 我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边，等着它装满你要吃的面条汤，直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来，不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C
