We've all heard of an “Aha! moment”—when something confusing suddenly makes sense or a brilliant idea shows up out of the blue.In Hawaii,there's also something known as an “Aloha! moment”—an occasion that offers the opportunity to carry out an act of love or kindness.
Chloe Marino was shopping at a Kahului,Hawaii supermarket with her fivemonthold son.As sometimes happens,she got distracted and accidentally left her wallet behind.
Luckily,the wallet was spotted by store security guard Aina Townsend,who volunteered to return it to its owner after his shift.Not having a car,the 22yearold took it upon himself to bicycle for nearly an hour—three miles in the dark—to the Marinos' door.
“You know,I lost a wallet before,too,and it's the worst thing in the world,”Townsend said.“I was just doing what I felt was the right thing to do.”
Chloe,who didn't even realize she'd misplaced her wallet,was really impressed by Townsend's determination as well as his willingness to help out a total stranger.
Her husband,Gray,was so impressed that he posted an account of Townsend's good deed on his Web page,and one reader was so moved that he started a GoFundMe campaign after learning Aina's story:
“This young man moved to Maui five years ago,and works as a security guard at the grocery store to support the family and put himself through college.Having no car,he has been cycling to work and school every day for five years,” wrote Gregory Gaudet on GoFundMe.
“When I put myself in his position after a long day of work and school,wanting to go home to see my family and go to bed,but choosing to ride my bike to the next town miles away,instead,to return this women's wallet,I know this guy has a huge heart.”
On New Year's Eve,after collecting US $25,000 in Aloha donations,Gray and other readers gathered at a local car dealership (经销商)and they would present a brandnew car to the Townsend family.
4.What did Aina Townsend do when he found the wallet?
A.He looked for the owner everywhere in the supermarket.
B.He decided to take the wallet to the owner after getting off work.
C.He decided to hand the wallet to the police station.
D.He hesitated about whether he should cycle to return the wallet.
5.Why was the GoFundMe campaign started?

B.To raise money to buy a new car for Townsend.
C.To let others know how hard Townsend worked.
D.To call on more people to learn from Townsend.
6.What do we know from the text?

B.It was about an hour's car ride from the store to Chloe Marino's home.
C.Chloe didn't realize she had lost her wallet until she got home.

7.Which of the following sayings can best describe this story?

Isolating around the world
The act of social distancing has become an effective protective measure against the novel coronavirus and a part of everyday life across the world.Many countries have launched different social distancing measures.Some are strict while others are creative.Let's take a look at three special quarantine (隔离) measures around the world.
Panama
With more than 3000 confirmed cases by April 12,the Central American country Panama has announced strict quarantine measures.One of them is to separate people by gender to go out.
Starting in April,males in the country are required to leave home on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday while females can go out on Monday,Wednesday and Friday every week.No one is allowed to go out on Sundays.
To further prevent the spread of COVID 19,citizens are able to leave their homes for only two hours at a time.
“This absolute quarantine is for nothing more than to save your life,”the country's security minister Juan Pino said at a news conference.
But according to the Guardian,the restriction measures do not apply to civil servants or other essential staff who are battling against the novel coronavirus on the frontline.
Colombia
ID numbers are unique identification tools for individuals,but they may also be used to decide when people can go out in Colombia during the novel coronavirus pandemic.According to the BBC,people in some Colombian towns are allowed to be outside based on the last digit of their national ID number.
For example,in northwestcentral Colombia,people with an ID number ending in zero,four or seven are allowed to leave the house on Monday,while those with an ID number ending in one,five or eight can go outside on Tuesday.Similar quarantine measures have been proposed (提议) in the nearby country of Bolivia.
France
Though outdoor exercise is a good way to keep healthy,it can sometimes cause too many people to gather in one place.In order to prevent the spread of COVID 19,Paris has banned all outdoor exercise between 10 a.m.and 7 p.m.
Outside of this time span,people are allowed to exercise individually as long as it's for less than an hour and within one kilometer of their home.If people break the rule,they will face fines of between C=135 ( about 1040 yuan) and C=375.
8.What can we learn about Panama's social distancing measures?
A.All citizens should follow the rules of going out by gender.
B.Ordinary citizens can stay outside for at most two hours at a time.
C.Civil servants are allowed to go out every day except on Sundays.
D.No one can go out for dinner,starting in April.
9.Which group is allowed to go out on Mondays in Barrancabermeja,during the pandemic?
A.Females.
B.Males.
C.Those with an ID number ending in one,five or eight.
D.Those with an ID number ending in zero,four or seven.
10.Which of the following follows the rules in France?
A.Cycling around one's home at 5 p.m.
B.Playing basketball with friends at 8 p.m.
C.Jogging alone near one's home from 8 a.m.to 8:30 a.m.
D.Playing badminton in front of one's house at noon.

Hot dogs,peanuts,an orderly green field: Sal Miyake loves everything about her first baseball game—a love shared by author Scott Simon as a kid at Wrigley Field in Chicago,Illinois.
Sal is the main character in Simon's first kids novel,Sunnyside Plaza.To create her world,Simon made use of his job at a halfway house when he was 19 years old.He cared for adults with mental disabilities.Working the evening shift,he made sure they brushed their teeth and took their medicine before bedtime.
“All my life I've wanted to write about that experience,”said Simon,a journalist who hosts Weekend Edition Saturday for a radio station.He said the job changed his life.

At the halfway house,“I enjoyed getting to know people who at first sight seemed a world away from me,”said Simon.“Then I realized how much we had in common.We talked and joked.I liked spending time with them.”One of Simon's favorite memories is taking 12 of the residents to a Chicago Cubs baseball game,where their amazement mirrors Sal's in the book.
Simon based Sal on several people he knew,and he did additional research to make sure her voice and viewpoint are believable.“I wanted to get all this right,” said Simon.“The books you read when you're young really stay with you.”For him,this meant the classics his mother guided him to,including his favorites Black Beauty by Anna Sewell and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

How to Express Yourself to Others
Every person on the planet communicates in some fashion.And one of the hardest things to do when you're communicating with someone is expressing yourself.After all,words have the power to give life and death,especially in relationships.__16__ If you have a fear of people,people will avoid you.It's a vicious cycle (恶性循环).You avoid people because you fear that they will hurt you.People see your coldness,and either think the worst [that you are stuckup (傲慢的)],or satisfy your desire and leave you alone.__17__ You'll have a hard time getting close to them when you bottle everything up inside.Your relationships will all be shallow.
Your inability to express yourself will haunt (烦扰) you in time of trouble.You'll need help,and you'll want help,but you won't seek it.You'll hide.So,no one helps you.Then you grow bitter and angry.What's more,it can cause isolation.You build walls around your emotions and people consequently leave you alone.Gradually,your life will be empty.Life is relationships.__18__
However,reading will help you learn how other people express themselves.Pay attention to word usage,diction (措辞),flow,voice and tones.These will give you ideas of expressing yourself.__19__ They'll provide you with many ways of expressing your emotions and help you express yourself better.
Besides,you can do some writing on your own.Start a novel.Write letters.Keep a journal or diary.You'll find that writing helps you to sort through your thoughts.Writing gives you focus and direction.
__20__ You can't catch it from someone who has it.It is the spiritual state of mind that is the direct result of fear.There is really only one type of fear and that is the fear of the unknown.Don't fear what other people think about you.Honestly,your imagination will create far worse imagination than what most people will ever think.
A.Social anxiety is not a disease.
B.That will make them feel needed.
C.So it is important that you learn to express yourself.
D.All of these factors have some relationship to happiness.
E.Look up words that you've never seen before and use them.
F.The stronger your relationships are,the more joy you'll have in life.
G.When you can't open up to people,they will feel that you are unapproachable.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍的是,人际沟通中最难的是进行自我表达,并针对如何向他人表达自己提出了一些建议。
16.C 语境和逻辑推断。空前提到,沟通中最难的事情之一是向别人表达自己,毕竟,言语有决定生死的力量,尤其是在人际关系中。本段强调了自我表达的重要性。故C项(所以学会表达自己很重要)符合语境,与空前构成因果关系。
17.G 语境推断。根据设空前的“People see your coldness”和“or satisfy your desire and leave you alone”可知,人们看到你的冷漠,可能会满足你的“要求”,然后远离你,G项中的“they will feel that you are unapproachable”与之相呼应,且G项中的“you can't open up to people”与上文的“You avoid people”语义相符。故G项符合语境。
18.F 语境和复现推断。设空前提到,生活就是关系,故F项(你的关系越牢固,你在生活中就会有越多的快乐)符合语境,F项中的relationships为词汇复现,故选F项。
19.E 语境推断。设空前建议注意措辞;设空后一句解释它们给你提供多种表达情感的方式,并帮助你更好地表达自己。结合选项可知,E项(查阅并使用你以前从未见过的单词)符合语境。
20.A 语境推断。根据后文的“It is the spiritual state of mind that is the direct result of fear.”可推知,设空处应与精神状态相关。结合选项可知,A项(社交焦虑不是一种疾病)符合语境。

【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍的是英国政府颁布了一项禁令,禁止在化妆品以及其他个护产品中使用塑料微粒,并介绍了这一禁令可以为海洋环境带来的益处。
36.are used 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意为:塑料微粒或微小的固体塑料颗粒主要用于化妆品生产、洗面奶、牙膏和其他产品中。分析句子成分可知,设空处在句中作谓语。结合语境可知,此处描述客观情况,应用一般现在时;主语Plastic microbeads or tiny solid plastic particles为复数概念,且与动词use之间是被动关系,应用被动语态。故填are used。
37.eventually 考查词性转换。句意为:在我们使用这些产品时,塑料微粒会进入我们的输水管道,最终流入海洋。此处修饰动词短语end up,应用副词。故填eventually。
38.in 考查介词。句意为:海洋中的塑料会使鱼类和植物处于危险之中,甚至会导致它们死亡。put...in danger为固定搭配,意为“将……置于危险中”。故填in。

42.valuable 考查词性转换。句意为:世界上的海洋是我们最宝贵的自然资源之一。此处用于修饰名词短语natural things,应用形容词。结合句意可知,应填valuable。
43.what 考查名词性从句。句意为:那么我们现在要做的是处理掉对海洋生物造成巨大危害的塑料。本句中主句的系动词为is,is前面的部分为主句的主语,即主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,结合语境可知,应用what引导主语从句。故填what。
44.the 考查冠词。句意为:实际上,自然中那些能加以利用来制造个人护理产品的绿色资源的数量是巨大的,因此应放弃使用塑料微粒。the amount of...为固定搭配,意为“……的数量”。故填the。
【知识点拨】the amount of和an amount of的区别
the amount of意为“……的数量”,作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
an amount of意为“大量的……”,作主语时,谓语动词的数根据amount的单复数形式来确定。
45.to make 考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,修饰natural green things,从句中谓语动词为can take advantage of,动词make与其之间无连接词,应用非谓语形式;由句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to make。

Every PE lesson at school,we played soccer,but I'm not good at it.I never have been.I never played sports,never wanted to,and I hated soccer.My understanding of the rules was limited to that don't use your hands and get the ball in the goal.That remains my understanding today,which shows you how much I've progressed in sports.My idea of playing soccer was to run with the rest of the kids and hope no one kicked the ball in my direction.
One day,we were playing soccer and I was in my usual place on the corners of the sidelines.All of a sudden,there was the ball.Right in front of me!
Now I could have done my usual trick of quickly kicking the ball in the general direction to the front of the crowd,where the kids who knew what they were doing were,but suddenly,dreams of being a soccer hero sprang up unexpectedly.So I didn't actually kick the ball back into the crowd.I decided I was going to kick that ball all the way to the goal and win us the game.And another thing was that I wasn't even sure of the score.
Off I went like a lion after its prey.
Things went smoothly.I was in the lead,heading towards the goal at the speed of light! No one was near me! No one could catch me! I was the wind that could not be stopped.Soon I would score! No one was near me.I slowed down and looked around.Wait,no one was near me?
Common sense broke into my brain and quietly reminded me that not only was I not a very fast runner,I wasn't a particularly skilled ball handler,either.My one minute dream of being a soccer star went down the drain.
I noticed the rest of the kids were on the other side of the field,playing with the real ball.________________________________________________________________________

I noticed the rest of the kids were on the other side of the field,playing with the real ball.I quickly realized I must have run across an unused ball near the sidelines.There I was,by myself,like an absolute idiot,kicking a dead ball towards the goal,where the goalkeeper was watching me strangely.I couldn't even breathe from embarrassment.Even though only the goalkeeper had seen my stupidity,I thought every person I knew there was laughing at me.
I quickly kicked the ball off to the sidelines and ran to catch up to the real ball. At last,our team won the match and we jumped and cheered with joy.Though for me, it was a truly embarrassing experience,and the process of players working together to reach a goal made me realize the pleasure of playing soccer.Since then,I have never wanted to stand by the sidelines any more in PE classes.
