I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and care! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 4. How did the author feel when he was a freshman? A. Joyful. B. Desperate. C. Confident. D. Positive. 5. Where did the writer meet the young man? A In the school. B. In the school bus. C. In the classroom. D. In the library. 6. What can we infer about the author from the passage? A. He was very grateful to that young man. B. He had known the young man for a long time. C. He avoided meeting the young man since then. D. He made friends with the young man afterwards. 7. What can we know from the passage? A. The young man always tried his best to help those who were in trouble. B. The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed. C. It was the young man’s smile and words that made the author feel hopeful. D. The author had never been praised by others before he met the young man. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述高中一年级时作者陷入绝望，陌生年轻人的鼓励给予其希望，此后作者也常向他人传递希望。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible.(我感到绝望和孤独，我认为一切都是不可能的。)”可知，在高中一年级的时候，作者经历了一段无望的时光。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. (有一天，我走出教室，穿过学校，赶校车回家，低着头，强忍绝望的泪水，这时一个年轻人从人行道上走向我。)”可知，作者是在学校见到了这个陌生人。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.(我在学校找他，想向他道谢，但再也没见过他)”可推知，作者非常感激那个年轻人。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: ‘Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.’ He then smiled again and walked away (这个陌生人看着我的眼睛，轻声说：‘一切都会过去的。你会没事的，坚持住。’然后他又笑了笑，走开了。)”和第四段的“I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope.(我无法解释那个人出人意料的善良和关心所带来的影响!他给了我一件我完全失去的东西——希望)”可推知，是那个年轻人的微笑和话语使作者感到有希望。故选C项。 C A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read. But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.” Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym. If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying. 8. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit? A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great book. C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started. 9. What is the advantage of audio-books according to the text? A. They are time saving. B. They provide more pleasure. C. They help brain development. D. They offer more book choices. 10. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea? A. It helps restart reading. B. It is of great convenience(方便). C. It improves the taste for art. D. It can increase your patience. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Method of killing free time B. Advantages of using audio-books C. Way to choose educational books D. Advice on developing a reading habit 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些养成阅读习惯的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading.(阅读最难的部分其实是拿起一本书。你必须坐下来，拿起一本书开始读。)”可知，阅读最难的一部分是拿起一本书开始阅读。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.(有声读物非常适合在你上班、洗碗或在健身房锻炼的路上填满你的大脑)”可推知，有声读物可以节约时间。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure.(如果你还在培养阅读习惯的路上，最好的方法就是重温你以前最喜欢的书，以获得年轻时的阅读乐趣)”和“Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.(重新开始阅读有点像开始画画。需要一些努力才能进入最佳状态，但一旦你开始，结果会是美丽而令人满意的)”可知，重读旧书可以引导你开始阅读。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.(最近的一项研究表明，当谈到阅读的好处时，仅仅阅读比阅读内容更重要。研究人员发现，阅读小说有助于大脑在理解他人和想象世界方面的发展。他们还发现，每周花几个小时读书的人比不读书的人活得更长。)”以及第二段第一句“But how to build a habit of reading?(但是如何养成阅读的习惯呢？)”以及后文可知，本文主要给出了养成阅读习惯的建议。故选D项。 D Summer jobs for teens are worth saving. These seasonal jobs offer more than money. Summer jobs can teach important life skills and give teens real-world experience. “We don't naturally know how to be good employees(雇员), ”says Kathy Kristof, who works for SideHusl, a part-time employment. “We learn with practice. ” According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers' Job Survey 2018, while 89. 4% of recent college graduates considered themselves as having good work skills, only 42. 5% of surveyed employers shared that opinion. “You have 22-year-olds who might have an excellent academic(学业的)record but they've never held a job, ”says Andrew Challenger, vice president of firm Challenger. “They've missed out on some important life skills. ” Summer jobs can help high school and college students perform better in the classroom, according to recent research. But parents often believe that summer school and volunteer work will be more helpful for college applications than paid work. “It's not really going to matter what you do, as long as you're doing something besides just playing video games, ”Challenger says. Where summer jobs can really help is in the job market after graduation. The jobs most teens do help them build “soft skills” that employers value and that lead to higher-paying jobs. Dealing with customers and coworkers helps them with communication and problem-solving skills, for example. Dealing with a boss gives them the ability to accept and learn from criticism(批评) . This summer's job market is expected to be a good one, Challenger says. Where there are few workers on hand, there will be chances. 12. What does the 2018 survey suggest? A. Employers value work experience more than academic records. B. Many college graduates don't meet employers' expectations. C. Most college graduates have a satisfying academic record. D. Employers think highly of today's college graduates. 13. What do parents usually want their teens to do during the summer vacation? A. Study at home. B. Do summer jobs. C. Do volunteer work. D. Help around the house. 14. What does the underlined word “them” in the last but one paragraph refer to? A. Employers. B. Teen workers. C. Customers. D. Coworkers. 15. What's the author's attitude towards teens doing summer jobs? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Uninterested. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了青少年暑期兼职可以帮助他们提高成绩，掌握生活技能以及获取社会经验。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ Job Survey 2018, while 89. 4% of recent college graduates considered themselves as having good work skills, only 42. 5% of surveyed employers shared that opinion(根据2018年全国大学和雇主协会的就业调查，而89.4%的应届大学毕业生认为自己拥有良好的工作技能，只有42%。5%的受访雇主认同这一观点)”可知，该调查发现，大多数大学毕业生自认为拥有良好的工作技能，而许多雇主却不这么认为。因此我们可以得出推论，许多大学毕业生没有达到雇主的预期。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第四段中的“parents often believe that summer school and volunteer work will be more helpful for college applications than paid work(家长们通常认为暑期学校和志愿工作比有偿工作对申请大学更有帮助)”可知，父母常常认为，与付酬工作相比，暑期学校经历和志愿者工作更有助于大学申请。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由倒数第二段中的“The jobs most teens do help them build “soft skills” that employers value and that lead to higher-paying jobs(大多数青少年做的工作帮助他们培养雇主看重的“软技能”，从而获得高薪工作)”可知，暑期兼职可以帮助青少年提高工作技能，帮助他们获得更高酬劳的工作。由此可知，后句中同样也指的是暑期兼职对青少年的帮助，与上句并列，故此处的them指代teen workers。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Summer jobs for teens are worth saving. These seasonal jobs offer more than money. Summer jobs can teach important life skills and give teens real-world experience.(青少年的暑期工作值得保留。这些季节性工作提供的不仅仅是钱。暑期打工可以教会青少年重要的生活技能，并给予他们现实世界的经验)”可知，作者指出青少年暑期兼职可以帮助他们提高成绩，掌握生活技能以及获取社会经验，由此可推知作者是支持青少年暑期兼职的。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, learning a foreign language is becoming more and more common. ___16___ As you may have heard, language learning is a marathon, not a sprint (短跑).

I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was sports. By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. I was also lucky: My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who taught me the difference between sticking to a dream and just showing determination. One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for hanging out with friends, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was appealing, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was fearing this, but I had to. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me. “How much are you going to make at this job, kid?” he demanded. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied. “Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That question struck me like a flash of lightning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I went on the stage to collect the prize for the best baseball player. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That question struck me like a flash of lightning. I stood there, staring at my furious coach and noticing that the light in his eyes suddenly went out. Regret and shame overwhelmed me and I wished I had not told him the stupid idea. At that moment, I decided not to give up my sports dream and dedicated myself to regular training. That whole summer, I kept catching and pitching the ball on the court, participating in every baseball game. At the end of the summer season came the long-awaited award ceremony. Finally, Coach Jarvis announced that I was elected as the best baseball player. I went on the stage to collect the prize for the best baseball player. My legs were trembling and my head was dizzy. Standing in the center of the stage, I heard the crowd was cheering and I saw Coach Jarvis was smiling. He passed the microphone to me and invited me to say a few words. “My fellows! Never give up your dream!” I exclaimed with tears shining in my eyes. “Devotion and persistence will help you realize your dream!” I added, grabbing my trophy tightly. Coach Jarvis came close to me, throwing his arms around me. “Thank you! It is you who let me understand the value of a dream.” I murmured by his ears, my eyes overflowed with tears. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者梦想给家人买更大房子，作者的高中教练奥利哈维斯，教给作者如何相信自己，并让他明白了梦想和信念的差异，一个特殊的事件永远地改变作者，最终获得成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那个问题像闪电一样击中了我。”可知，第一段可描写作者感到并惭愧开始努力训练。 ②由第二段首句内容“我上台领取最佳棒球运动员奖。”可知，第二段可描写描写作者与教练的交谈的经过以及作者最终明白了其中的道理。 2.续写线索：努力——取得成绩——与教练交谈——懂得了道理——实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①致力于：dedicate oneself to/ devote oneself to/ commit oneself to ②.参加：participate in /take part in/join ③.低语：murmur/whisper 情绪类： ①后悔：regret/ repentance ②.惭愧：shame /blush 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here we will provide practical tips to help you plan your dream Caribbean vacation. Choosing the Best Time to Visit Generally speaking, the Caribbean has a tropical climate with hot and humid weather year-round. Hurricanes are common during the summer months, so it’s advised to avoid travel during this season if possible. The best time to visit typically starts in November and runs through April. Be sure to check local weather forecasts before your trip. Experiencing the Local Culture The Caribbean is home to a variety of cultures, from Cuban salsa dancing to the calypso rhythms of Trinidad. The local culture is a key part of the Caribbean experience, so make sure to soak up as much as you can. Visit museums and historical sites to get a deeper understanding of the local heritage, or explore local festivals for a display of music, dance, and art. Moreover, the people of the Caribbean are well known for their friendliness, so don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation. Planning Your Activities Whether you’re into diving, hiking, shopping, or simply lying on the beach, you will be able to pick between endless activities. Besides, you can try your hand at deep-sea fishing, horseback riding, or even bungee jumping. If you’re looking for something more laid back, take a guided tour of the island’s botanical gardens or explore its national parks. Whatever you decide to do, be sure to review safety guidelines and pack all the necessary equipment before your adventure. In conclusion, the Caribbean offers a diverse travel experience that caters to different preferences and budgets. With careful planning and a bit of research, you can plan a vacation that is truly unforgettable. So don’t wait — start planning your dream Caribbean trip today! 1.

I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and care! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 4. How did the author feel when he was a freshman? A. Joyful. B. Desperate. C. Confident. D. Positive. 5. Where did the writer meet the young man? A. In the school. B. In the school bus. C. In the classroom. D. In the library. 6. What can we infer about the author from the passage? A He was very grateful to that young man. B. He had known the young man for a long time. C. He avoided meeting the young man since then. D. He made friends with the young man afterwards. 7. What can we know from the passage? A. The young man always tried his best to help those who were in trouble. B. The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed. C. It was the young man’s smile and words that made the author feel hopeful. D. The author had never been praised by others before he met the young man. C A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read. But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.” Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym. If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying. 8. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit? A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great book. C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started. 9. What is the advantage of audio-books according to the text? A. They are time saving. B. They provide more pleasure. C They help brain development. D. They offer more book choices. 10. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea? A. It helps restart reading. B.

Summer jobs can teach important life skills and give teens real-world experience. “We don't naturally know how to be good employees(雇员), ”says Kathy Kristof, who works for SideHusl, a part-time employment. “We learn with practice. ” According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers' Job Survey 2018, while 89. 4% of recent college graduates considered themselves as having good work skills, only 42. 5% of surveyed employers shared that opinion. “You have 22-year-olds who might have an excellent academic(学业的)record but they've never held a job, ”says Andrew Challenger, vice president of firm Challenger. “They've missed out on some important life skills. ” Summer jobs can help high school and college students perform better in the classroom, according to recent research. But parents often believe that summer school and volunteer work will be more helpful for college applications than paid work. “It's not really going to matter what you do, as long as you're doing something besides just playing video games, ”Challenger says. Where summer jobs can really help is in the job market after graduation. The jobs most teens do help them build “soft skills” that employers value and that lead to higher-paying jobs. Dealing with customers and coworkers helps them with communication and problem-solving skills, for example. Dealing with a boss gives them the ability to accept and learn from criticism(批评) . This summer's job market is expected to be a good one, Challenger says. Where there are few workers on hand, there will be chances. 12. What does the 2018 survey suggest? A. Employers value work experience more than academic records. B. Many college graduates don't meet employers' expectations. C. Most college graduates have a satisfying academic record. D. Employers think highly of today's college graduates. 13. What do parents usually want their teens to do during the summer vacation? A. Study at home. B. Do summer jobs. C. Do volunteer work. D.

Uninterested. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, learning a foreign language is becoming more and more common. ___16___ As you may have heard, language learning is a marathon, not a sprint (短跑).

I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was sports. By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. I was also lucky: My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who taught me the difference between sticking to a dream and just showing determination. One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for hanging out with friends, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was appealing, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was fearing this, but I had to. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me. “How much are you going to make at this job, kid?” he demanded. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied. “Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That question struck me like a flash of lightning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I went on the stage to collect the prize for the best baseball player. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
