The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too may students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese. After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.1.

2017年7月6日考点名词高考频度：★★★★★难易程度：★★★☆☆【命题解读】名词是中学英语的主要词汇之一，也是历年高考的重要考点。
研究近年的高考题我们不难看出，名词部分主要考查名词的词义辨析和习惯搭配、名词的数（可数与不可数、单数与复数）、名词的所有格、抽象名词的具体化、物质名词的量化、名词和冠词的搭配以及主谓一致等。
在高考试题中，名词常结合其他项目一起考查，考查题型以短文改错、完形填空、语法填空为主。
【命题预测】预计2018年的高考名词在完形填空、短文改错及语法填空中仍会占有重要地位。
【复习建议】在学习过程中，要掌握常用名词的基本用法，注意一词多义和旧词新义。
另外要多归纳总结，做题时要结合语境。

However, Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need by playing music on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and donating what he can to them, WTSP reported.In addition to playing for the public, Maltsby also hosts a radio show on WRXB called “Blind Boy Radio”. While on air, the musician g ives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers. To date, Maltsby has donated $2,000, but his funds are running low—even with help from sponsors. That's why he's turning to the community for help.Maltsby has set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of collecting $25, 000 to aid struggling people in the community.While Maltsby's benevolent (慈善的) spirit is inspiring, it's often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money.This past winter, for example, when Dominique Harrison-Bentzen, a British student, did't have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had—$4.60—for a taxi. She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds(over $50,000)．“I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them，” Harrison-Bentzen told The Mirror.“If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.”1. What can be learned about Eddie Maltsby Jr.?A. He has collected $25,000.B. He's going to keep on giving.C. He was born with blindness.D. He plays music to earn a living.2. Why does Eddie Maltsby Jr. ask for help?A. He earns less and less money.B. His funds have been used up.C. He needs more people to donate.D. His family give no support to his campaign.3. Which of the following words best describe Eddie Maltsby Jr.?A. Creative and determined.B. Talented and friendly.C. Cooperative and optimistic.D. Helpful and generous.4. Dominique Harrison-Bentzen's story is used to ________.A. get people involved in community serviceB. prove that giving is indeed importantC. encourage people to share and giveD. show the poor are more willing to giveB(2017·河北石家庄高三复习教学质量检测二)I grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening. Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and were always in moderation (节制). As for myself, I wasn't interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in common—alcohol, and plenty of it. Not wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didn't matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out (喝醉). It seemed shallow to me I wanted to get to know my new classmates, not how fast they could down a pint of beer.Gradually, however, I realized that real friends don't judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend I went cycling with a classmate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group, I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.Another valuable lesson I learned is that it's perfectly okay to say “No” if you don't want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking (狂喝)has become the norm. Many people who drink don't necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure (同伴压力)—they're afraid to say “No”．5. What shocked the author when he entered university?A. The strange campus.B. The popularity of alcohol.C. The drunken classmates.D. The limited activities.6. Why did the author return home early from the events at first?A. He wasn't good at drinking.B. He had no familiar classmates.C. He hated the way people got along.D. He was left out by the organizers.7. How did the author finally make real friends at university?A. By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks.B. By staying away from group activities.C. By giving in to the peer pressure.D. By joining people with common interests.C(2017·重庆高考适应性测试第二次)My daddy worked hard to support our family in the 1940s. The year I was eight, we barely had two dimes (十分硬币) for the coming Christmas.Our neighbor suggested that we hang lights in our yard to lift the Christmas spirit along our street. However, we had just enough money for things to decorate our living room.There was a hardware store (五金店) down the street. I wanted to see how much the lights cost. On the way I spotted a dime on the sidewalk. Joy! How lucky I was to have found 10 cents !In the store, I stared longingly at the strings of outdoor lights. I knew I could not buy even the smallest set. Then I saw the single lights, and my hope rose. I got excited when discovering a single bulb cost only 20 cents.Walking home, I was thinking how I might get another dime. Maybe if I helped my grandma gather evergreens, she would give me a few cents. As expected, Grandma asked for my help on the weekend. But I didn't get a cent when we finished.Several days later, Uncle Charlie dropped in, and gave each child a dime. We jumped with delight. Just as soon as I could, I went back to the hardware store and bought a single colored bulb. Back home, I climbed the ladder and replaced the clear light with the colored one. After the sunset, I switched on the light and, unobserved, went outside to see the lovely colored light in the darkness.When Daddy came home, he asked, “Who put the light on the front door？”“I did, Daddy！”I smiled up at him.“Doesn't it look Christmassy？”He bent down and, with tears in his eyes, took me gently in his arms.Our house was wearing some holiday spirit, and it looked beautiful.8. The neighbor suggested that the author's family ________.A. buy outdoor lightsB. decorate the yardC. beautify the living roomD. lighten the street9. Why did the author feel excited when he found the single bulbs in the store?A. Because he was attracted by their lovely colors.B. Because he believed he could get the money for one.C. Because they were more beautiful than strings of lights.D. Because they were so cheap that he could buy one immediately.10. How did the author get another dime?A. His grandma gave it to him as a reward.B. He found it on the way home.C. His uncle gave it to him as pocket money.D. He earned it by taking a part-time job.11. Why did the author's father take him in his arms?A. His father was moved by his caring behavior.B. His father was affected by his merry feelings.C. His father was touched that he had helped his grandma.D. His father was proud that he had replaced the bulb by himself.新闻报道A(2017·海口调研)Heavy rain continues to attack South Carolina after a powerful storm flooded much of the state over the weekend. Emergency workers are going door-to-door to search for anyone who may still be trapped in their homes. At least seven deaths have been blamed on the storm so far.The storm poured more than 20 inches of rain on one area of Columbia, South Carolina's capital. Many cars ended up completely under water on flooded streets. Even weather experts said they were surprised by the amount of rain the storm poured on the state. On Sunday, Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years.Earlier in the week, weather experts had predicted Hurricane Joaquin to attack the East Coast, but the hurricane turned away in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the shift, Shepherd says tropical moisture (水分) from the hurricane helped boost the power of the rainstorm in the Carolinas and several neighboring states.According to the National Weather Service, Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia. The rainfall total at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 6.87 inches, the highest one-day level ever recorded there.The flooding caused water main breaks that have threatened the drinking water supply for South Carolina's capital city. Columbia officials told all 375 000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking it. Worse still, many roads and bridges across the state were washed out or under water.One of the hardest hit areas in Columbia was near Gills Creek, where a weather station recorded over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. Rescue crews used boats to save the family of Jeff Whalen, whose house backed up on the stream.Columbia residents have also been helping one another. Rawlings LaMotte, 38, said he and a friend got into a small motorboat and transported several people to safety.1. Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years because ________.A. it came so suddenlyB. it was so seriousC. it killed many emergency workersD. it failed to be predicted2. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”．A. reduceB. controlC. increaseD. cause3. What damage was caused to South Carolina?A. Hundreds of people were killed in the storm.B. Drinking water supply was cut off.C. Many roads and bridges were destroyed.D. A large number of people lost their homes.4.

In exchange, they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen, bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.Currently only three flats are available, but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital. “Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month, depending on the area，”one local university advises.Those who apply don't need any specific care experience. “There are staff to look after the elderly，”project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle. “We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life, who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents.”More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week, and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media. “Great project, hopefully it will spread to other areas，” writes one person on Facebook, while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together.But some wish it was open to more people, with one user saying, “It's a shame the flats are so small. It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their n eighbour.” And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age, writing, “Shame_I'm_too_old_for_this—I_would_have_surely_applied.”5.

But the 17-year-old achieved a surprising clean sweep—he was accepted to every Ivy League (常春藤) school.“I am so lucky，”Rojas told The Orange County Register on Saturday. “When I got all eight, it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose. I was excited and scared and everything at the same time.”The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks calls, emails and letters followed from the other seven universities. Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas, 59, and wife, Maria, 56, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s.A national speech and debate champion, Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas' speech and debate coach at Fullerton, told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives (茁壮成长) on competition. “His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something，” Tinajero said.After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64 000 a year with room and board. He is responsible for $6 000; Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in lateAugust.

She liked nothing better than exploring the banks ofthe Missouri River, where she climbed trees and hunted rats with her rifle (步枪). She also built her own “roller coaster”．After Earhart paid a pilot $1 to take her up for a short flight in his plane, aviation (飞行) became her love and career.As the American flying pioneer later explained, “Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do.”Earhart soon found a teacher and started to learn to fly.

She became the first woman to make the solo crossing. She also made a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. “Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done—sometimes what men have not done—thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action，”she said.When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge—to be the first woman to fly around the world.

At least that's the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp.The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups. On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone. The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bite-size pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork. The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone.Each day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9-foot radius.The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what happened.They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks. Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior. If that isn't bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!This has made Mr.Wansink, who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons，kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with forks.Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!1．What probably results in kids' bad behavior?A．The way kids bite into food. B．The way food is cooked.C．The unhealthy food kids eat. D．Their attitude toward the food.2．Paragraph 2 mainly shows__________.A．the result of the research B．the time on the research C．the way the research went on D．the difficulties the research faced3．What can we learn about the students at the summer camp?A．They enjoyed the food there very much.B．They exhibited different levels of rude behavior.C．They were asked to bite the food with care.D．They were likely to behave badly frequently.4．What does Mr. Wansink advise parents to do?A．To eat with their kids often.B．To teach their kids how to eat food.C．To serve their kids with small pieces of food.D．To show their kids good behavior often.B(2017·潍坊模拟)What did you eat for lunch today? Did you choose this dish because it was healthy, cheap or because it was just very tasty? Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?I love exploring trends in food. “Fusion cuisine” is not for everybody. My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century. Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang, who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC, is a fan of the movement. She says，“Fusion has been happening for centuries, for as long as people have travelled, but with the Internet, and global travel, the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster.”Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made “fusion” elegant. He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs. He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter.“I believe authenticity is about evolution, not repeating your grandmother's recipe，” he explains. “Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours—it's how you combine them that sets you apart.”My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement. Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong, it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally. Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.All these trends give us food for thought. We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks. Tomorrow, why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast? You dress trendy so eat trendy!5. Fusion cuisine is ________.A. a BBC cooking programmeB. a balanced diet rich in nutritionC. a new trend of global travellingD. a combination of different cooking styles6. What do we learn about Wolfgang Puck?。
