I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug." The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night's game at the Talking Slick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. The city's professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising FC, also invited Teddy to join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.But some on social media questioned Mazzini's decision to broadcast her son's humiliating day.

It has existed as early as 2000 BC. When it first started, it was just something pretty yet replaceable sewn onto your clothes. About 3，000 years later, someone finally invented the buttonhole, and buttons were suddenly useful and applied to clothes universally.Before buttons, clothes were bigger — they had no fixed shapes. People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things. Because of the buttonhole, the fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button. At one time, it’s the very way to make clot hes fit well for the body. People are completely secure.The pattern of a button hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages. Ifs one of the most lasting designs in history, because it actually works to keep our clothes shut. Zippers easily break and are hard to fix. Velcro is rackety，and it wears out after a while. However, if a button breaks, you just exactly sew another on. And you ran do up your buttons without disturbing others.A button is there for the long run. It’s not just the most important design ever, but it’s thought to be a decisive factor in the development and innovation of clothes. Present design of clothes shows its influence obviously. If you’re wearing a take a look at the position of buttons on it. If you’re a male, the buttons wo uld likely be on the right side, but for a female, the buttons are usually found on the left.Once the buttons were all on the right, and the trend of buttons-on-the-left was set by wealthy women of the Victorian era. Their clothes were complex, consisting of corsets, petticoats, buttons and a wide range of beautiful accessories(配饰). Therefore, they needed assistance while getting dressed. Keep this in mind, clothing makers made innovation and designed articles of clothing that were simple for servants to button up. Such designs of clothing became more and more popular over time, and eventually became the standard still being followed to this day.1. What can be learnt about early buttons in the first paragraph?A. They appeared a bit later than buttonholes.B. They served as an essential part of the clothes.C. Their popularity was driven by buttonholes greatly.D. They were invented by someone unknown accidently.2. What does the underlined word "rackety" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Decorative.B. Practical.C. Expensive.D. Noisy.3. Why did the design of buttons on women’s clothes change in the Victorian era?A. To innovate old designs of clothes.B. To make it easier to button up.C. To beautify the clothes of women.D. To keep the standard widely followed.4. Which can be the title of the text?A. How buttons changed fashionB. What the real role of buttons isC. Why buttons were inventedD. When buttons came into sight4、 A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent year's as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat(栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境)of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitor s, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forcedtoward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar hears with financial support from tourism development.1.What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A.Food shortage.B.Climate change.C.Habitats, movement to shore.D.Their preference for land.2.How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A.Excited.B.Puzzled.C.Concerned.D.Shocked.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D.Tourism affects the balance of nature.4.Which saying can describe the text?A.The fittest can survive.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.There is always opportunity in crisis.D.Every coin has two sides.5、The Things That Keep Us From SucceedingWe have always been told not to fear failure because it is essential to success. So we should embrace failure or at least the possibility of failure. ①______. If you're not reaching the kind of success you imagine, one or more of the following things might well be true of you, too.NO.1: You don't have a goal. A lot of time we find ourselves struggling through aday-to-day routine that isn't getting us anywhere because we don't know where we want to go. Sometimes we had goals when we set ourselves on a particular path, but we've changed along the way and those goal s are no longer that important. ②______, figuring out what your goals are is important.NO.2: You don't have a vision. Setting goals is important but isn't enough to drive you to the finish line; it's important, too, to be able to imagine yourself as the achiever of your goals. If goal s are the end result of a journey, your vision is the fuel to get you there.NO.3: You don't have a plan. If goals are your destination and a vision is your fuel, your plan is the map to get you there. ③______. The world is full of people with goals they have never accomplished because they didn't have a plan—don't be one of them.NO.4: You're too certain or not certain enough. Too much certainty creates inflexibility. If you're sure that your plan is correct, and refuse to accept the possibility of error, you may well find yourself stuck when an unexpected change comes about. However strong your plan and however sure you are of your goals, make room for periodic reassessment.④______. If you refuse to take a step because you aren't positive that it will move you towards success, you won't make any better progress than if you had no goals at all. Keep your eyes open and be willing to change, but have faith in yourself, too.NO.5: ⑤______. Often we close ourselves off from other people not because we're afraid that they will influence us but that we will influence them. We are afraid that our brilliant ideas will be taken up by someone else and no longer be solely ours. So we avoid sharing our passions, and spend our energy jealously guarding our "secret" rather than simply moving forward. In the end, we turn our passions into burdens that are difficult to carry instead of a joy.A. Whatever the caseB. Whatever the causeC. You worry about being copiedD. You don't learn from your mistakesE. At the same time, too little certainty will fail youF. However, fear isn't the only thing that keeps us from succeedingG. Without it, you have no idea what immediate steps to take to achieve your goals6、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOn my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don't even have a fourth floor and there's no pool either! Besides that，I didn't have any trouble with the older kid.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learnthings for yourself，not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later. I've changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more. Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they're also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they'd never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you're applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you're a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don't follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.1. What does the author think of high school?A. There are very few activities.B. It's hard to meet new people there.C. It requires hard work.D. There isn't enough time for homework.2. The author advises high school students to________．A. get ready for tests the night beforeB. give up sportsC. choose useful classesD. try their best to get good grades3. The text is probably written by________．A. a high school studentB. a chemistry teacherC. a college studentD. a sports player4. The last paragraph mainly tells us________．A. about the trouble caused by drinking and smokingB. not to go to any party in high schoolC. not to lose ourselves in high schoolD. about the importance of making friends【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal" , pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $ 100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted.

It has existed as early as 2000 BC. When it first started, it was just something pretty yet replaceable sewn onto your clothes. About 3，000 years later, someone finally invented the buttonhole, andbuttons were suddenly useful and applied to clothes universally.Before buttons, clothes were bigger — they had no fixed shapes. People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things. Because of the buttonhole, the fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button. At one time, it’s the very way to make clothes fit well for the body. People are completely secure.The pattern of a button hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages. Ifs one of the most lasting designs in history, because it actually works to keep our clothes shut. Zippers easily break and are hard to fix. Velcro is rackety，and it wears out after a while. However, if a button breaks, you just exactly sew another on. And you ran do up your buttons without disturbing others.A button is there for the long run. It’s not just the most important design ever, but it’s thought to be a decisive factor in the development and innovation of clothes. Present design of clothes shows its influence obviously. If you’re wearing a take a look at the position of buttons on it. If you’re a male, the buttons wo uld likely be on the right side, but for a female, the buttons are usually found on the left.Once the buttons were all on the right, and the trend of buttons-on-the-left was set by wealthy women of the Victorian era. Their clothes were complex, consisting of corsets, petticoats, buttons and a wide range of beautiful accessories(配饰). Therefore, they needed assistance while getting dressed. Keep this in mind, clothing makers made innovation and designed articles of clothing that were simple for servants to button up. Such designs of clothing became more and more popular over time, and eventually became the standard still being followed to this day.1. What can be learnt about early buttons in the first paragraph?A. They appeared a bit later than buttonholes.B. They served as an essential part of the clothes.C. Their popularity was driven by buttonholes greatly.D. They were invented by someone unknown accidently.2. What does the underlined word "rackety" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Decorative.B. Practical.C. Expensive.D. Noisy.3. Why did the design of buttons on women’s clothes change in the Victorian era?A. To innovate old designs of clothes.B. To make it easier to button up.C. To beautify the clothes of women.D. To keep the standard widely followed.4. Which can be the title of the text?A. How buttons changed fashionB. What the real role of buttons isC. Why buttons were inventedD. When buttons came into sight4、 A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent year's as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat(栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond thecontinental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境)of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar hears with financial support from tourism development.1.What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A.Food shortage.B.Climate change.C.Habitats, movement to shore.D.Their preference for land.2.How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A.Excited.B.Puzzled.C.Concerned.D.Shocked.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D.Tourism affects the balance of nature.4.Which saying can describe the text?A.The fittest can survive.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.There is always opportunity in crisis.D.Every coin has two sides.5、The Things That Keep Us From SucceedingWe have always been told not to fear failure because it is essential to success. So we should embrace failure or at least the possibility of failure. ①______. If you're not reaching the kind of success you imagine, one or more of the following things might well be true of you, too.NO.1: You don't have a goal. A lot of time we find ourselves struggling through a day-to-day routine that isn't getting us anywhere because we don't know where we want to go. Sometimes we had goals when we set ourselves on a particular path, but we've changed along the way and those goal s are no longer that important.②______, figuring out what your goals are is important.NO.2: You don't have a vision. Setting goals is important but isn't enough to drive you to the finish line; it's important, too, to be able to imagine yourself as theachiever of your goals. If goal s are the end result of a journey, your vision is the fuel to get you there.NO.3: You don't have a plan. If goals are your destination and a vision is your fuel, your plan is the map to get you there. ③______. The world is full of people with goals they have never accomplished because they didn't have a plan—don't be one of them.NO.4: You're too certain or not certain enough. Too much certainty creates inflexibility. If you're sure that your plan is correct, and refuse to accept the possibility of error, you may well find yourself stuck when an unexpected change comes about. However strong your plan and however sure you are of your goals, make room for periodic reassessment.④______. If you refuse to take a step because you aren't positive that it will move you towards success, you won't make any better progress than if you had no goals at all. Keep your eyes open and be willing to change, but have faith in yourself, too.NO.5: ⑤______. Often we close ourselves off from other people not because we're afraid that they will influence us but that we will influence them. We are afraid that our brilliant ideas will be taken up by someone else and no longer be solely ours. So we avoid sharing our passions, and spend our energy jealously guarding our "secret" rather than simply moving forward. In the end, we turn our passions into burdens that are difficult to carry instead of a joy.A. Whatever the caseB. Whatever the causeC. You worry about being copiedD. You don't learn from your mistakesE. At the same time, too little certainty will fail youF. However, fear isn't the only thing that keeps us from succeedingG. Without it, you have no idea what immediate steps to take to achieve your goals6、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂。
AIn the last 50 years, sea surface temperatures around Antarctica have risen by 1-2°C, which is more than twice the global average.Loss of speciesGlobal warming could basically change the ecosystem, leading to the loss of some species. Sharks are going to arrive in Antarctica as long as the warming trend continues, a bit more slowly than crabs-crabs are going to get there first, but once they do get there they are able to eat the organisms that live there.Professor Wilga said the arrival of sharks and shell-crushing bony fishes would lead to great changes in the number and proportions(比例)of species found there.Shrimp, ribbon worms and brittle stars are likely to be the most attackable to population declines. Animals living in shallow water in Antarctica are unique on Earth today because they evolved(进化)in a very cold environment over tens of millions of years.Extreme conditionsIn the course of a process we call Antarctic cooling that started about 40 million years ago, all major seafloor predators such as sharks and crabs went extinct in Antarctica because they were not able to deal with these extreme conditions.However, today global warming is removing barriers to invasions and we’ve seen recently that crabs, especially king crabs, are on the doorstep of Antarctica-they can potentially re-invade the shallow waters if warming continues.Urgent local and global actions are needed to protect this last environment and measures are needed to stop alien species being brought in through ships.Strange creaturesAnimals that live on the seafloor of Antarctica are some of the strangest creatures on Earth. The extreme cold and darkness has presented huge challenges to marine life over the passage of time, leading to the evolution of fish equipped with anti- freeze proteins in their blood.1．How will these alien species affect the ecosystem in Antarctica?A．They will change the extremely cold conditions in Antarctica.B．They will change the numbers and proportions of species in Antarctica.C．The sea surface temperature of Antarctica will rise more quickly.D．The number of shrimp and ribbon worms will increase in Antarctica.2．How does the author feel about the alien species’ invasion to Antarctica?A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Satisfied. D．Excited.3．Which is the best title of this passage?A．Creatures in Antarctica Are UniqueB．The Extreme Conditions in AntarcticaC．Alien Species Are Not Found in AntarcticaD．Alien Species May Change Antarctic EcosystemBAs seniors in college looking forward to life’s next goals-graduation and employment-it is essential to have a sense of feeling important. Every time I look through job listings, there is a small, and sometimes not so small current running through my mind, spitting out little charges that are meant to stop me from even applying. The charges come in the form of words that seem to shout out like “It is not even worth trying!” or “You look as if you were a qualified man...”I met with a professor last week about a specific posting that really got me excited. Maybe the first time I could actually imagine myself in a position. I do not want to tell you which one because then there will be one more person applying for it. However, the professor said to me, “You and thousands of other people are interested in that job.” His response successfully dampened(抑制)my initial enthusiasm. So I went back to work on my cover letter, feeling like one little itty-bitty(极小的)sardine swimming in a school of thousands, with far less motivation than I had initially.Of course, the realities are good, and we should never feel deserving of, or entitled to, a position. I would say there are only a few select students out there. The cream, who has academic advantages, would be sure to stand out. The rest of us, struggling through our course loads, are the crop. But being the crop does not make us any less important!The point is that, like the old Hasidic story goes in Jewish tradition, we should always remember to carry two slips of paper in our pockets, especially during times of challenge and transition. When feeling beat down, or lost within a school of sardines, take out one slip of paper that says “For my sake, the world was created”. But for fear that you become a person filled with self-importance, carry a second slip of paper to serve as a gentle reminder, “I am but dust and ashes.”4．What does the author imply in Paragraph 1?A．He doesn’t want to work after graduation.B．He has no confidence in finding a good job.C．He tries to behave himself after graduation.D．He shows no interest in most jobs in the list.5．After talking with the professor, the author was ________.A．inspired B．confused C．discouraged D．embarrassed6．What does the underlined part “the crop” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The plants in the field. B．Common members of a group.C．Those who enjoy their life. D．Those who are tied to a position.7．What’s suggested in the last paragraph?A．Control our feelings when faced with different problems.B．Read as many old stories as possible in our daily life.C．Learn how to make ourselves important to others.D．Understand the function of two sheets of paper.CInternet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptomsSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens —or too little, for that matter —might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who w ere online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users,while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about "depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account.Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.8．How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A．More than two hours. B．More than eight hours.C．More than twelve hours. D．More than ten hours.9．What’s the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues’ study?A．To know the actual number of teenagers online.B．To know the actual time of teenagers online.C．To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D．To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.10．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A．Independent B．UnitedC．Separated. D．Capable.11．According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A．Non-users of Internet aren’t likely to be depressed.B．Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users. C．Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D．Non-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.DA study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on tim e or taking them to the doctor for checkups．Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes ．What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases．The news may surprise some people, but it’s true, and the researchers have several theories about why．One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible ．Investing in their kids’ education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren’t even a possibility．So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality．Another theory is that peopl e just generally seem to do what they’re told．If they are given money and told to use it for their family’s welfare, in most cases, they will do just that．And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children．Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don’t waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought ．Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their families．And that’s money well spent．12．The study proves that ．A．cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB．cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC．given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD．poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs13．A cash transfer led to a reduction in a f amily’s alcohol and tobacco purchases because ．A．the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB．the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC．buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD．that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family14．In paragraph 5, when the author said “women control the purse strings”, he just meant “ ”．A．women are told what to do B．women are given the moneyC．women know what to do with the money D．women have the final word for money15．The passage mainly tells us ．A．how the study was carried outB．why cash transfer is preferredC．the findings of a study and explanations to themD．the theories for a study about cash transfers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。

AJohn，a very thin boy, loved football with all his heart when he was very young．Practice after practice，he eagerly gave everything he had．But being half the size of the other boys，he could only sit on the bench and hardly ever played in games．Even though the son was always on the bench，his father was always standing with cheers and encouraging him．When John went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a“walk-on”．Everyone was sure he could never make the cut，but he did．The coach thought he could provide the other members with the spirit they needed．The news that he had survived the cut excited him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father．His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games．It was the end of this last football season．One day John received a telegram and asked one week off．Nobody knew what happened except the coach．The coach said，“Don't plan to come back to the game on Saturday．”Saturday arrived，and the game was not going well：When the team was ten points behind，John came back．“Coach，please let me play．I’ve just got to play today,”said John．The coach pretended not to hear him．But John persisted，and finally feeling sorry for the kid，the coach gave in．Before long everyone could not believe their eyes.
