Ⅰ.阅读理解
话题:慈善事业,参与其中
My father was the kind of guy who could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with new best friends for life! He was a hard worker and was known as “Mr FixIt” to everyone. He was also one of the most cheerful, affable (和蔼可亲的) and gentle people you would ever meet, which made us, his beloved daughters feel proud.
But when Dad was in his fifties, my family began to notice him struggling. His work and skills began to become worse and worse, and he became depressed and withdrawn. This was not the man I knew. At the age of fiftyeight, Dad was diagnosed with earlyonset Alzheimer's disease. As for our family, it was the worst.
Our first step was to attend a meeting hosted by the Alzheimer's Association to learn more about the disease and programs that might help us. That meeting inspired me to start a Walk to End Alzheimer's® team. But I still wanted to do more. In 2017, I became a board member of the Alzheimer's Association Delaware Valley Chapter.
The loss from this disease is gradual. My father's decline continued for several years. Losing my father more and more each day was leaving a big hole in my heart and my life. I decided to fill that hole with action to honor my father.
That's why I recently decided to leave a gift to the Alzheimer's Association by naming it as a beneficiary of my retirement plan. My future gift will provide money to support research because I don't want another person in my family or someone in other families to have to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
I am so proud to be able to honor my father and other family members who lost their fights to Alzheimer's in this way. My dad was an inspiration to me, and I hope, through my gift, I can inspire others to join in the fight to end Alzheimer's.

1.has earned [考查时态。句意:电视剧《人世间》赢得了广泛的掌声,成为中国国家广播公司中国传媒集团在过去五年中收视率最高的电视剧。根据in the past five years可知,谓语动词为现在完成时态;主语是The TV series,谓语动词应与其保持主谓一致,用单数。]
2.consisting [考查非谓语动词。句意:《人世间》共58集,改编自著名作家梁晓声的同名小说,该小说获得了第十届茅盾文学奖,这是中国本土作家的最高荣誉之一。分析句子可知,句子已有谓语动词is adapted,所以空处应填非谓语动词,且consist是不及物动词,无被动语态,所以空处表示与其逻辑主语A Lifelong Journey之间的主动关系,应填现在分词形式consisting。其中consist of表示“由……组成”。]
3.the [考查冠词。句意:故事始于20世纪60年代末,讲述了中国东北一个工人阶级家庭的三个孩子的起起落落,其细节生动地将观众带回了过去,使之与观众引起了共鸣。20世纪60年代的表达法是:in the 1960s。]

7.popularity [考查名词。句意:中国作家协会主席铁凝表示,电视剧《人世间》的巨大人气说明了文学和电视之间的“紧密联系”。此处为宾语从句的主语,所以用名词popularity,表示“人气,流行度”,不可数。]
