Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature. His life was full of tragedies, but he had the great influence on the 19th-century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day.
The early life of Edgar Allan Poe was quite unhappy. Born in 1809, Poe was not yet three years old when his parents died. Adopted by a wealthy family, he got into trouble at school. He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, but he dropped out without graduating. His misery (不幸) continued to his adult life. Later, because of a failed marriage, he suffered from mental illness. He was so upset about real life that he turned to writing. Expressing himself in an unreal and imaginary world was his only comfort.
The tragedies in Poe’s life influenced the tone, style and contents of his writing. His stories usually include death, which help build his reputation as a master of “dark” literature. In his The Tell-Tale Heart, the main character goes crazy and kills his roommate while in The Black Cat, the main character kills his cat in a fit of madness.
Poe died at the age of 40 in 1849. His life is short, but his influence is very great. Poe is credited with (被誉为) creating crime fiction, and many say he contributed greatly to the appearance of science fiction. Fascinated (着迷) by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time, he wrote about imaginary societies in the future. Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction. Jules Verne, a French writer who helped popularize science fiction, said Poe’s work had a direct influence on the stories he wrote.

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof,was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine(尿液), with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding(超过) permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.
8. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. risky B. beneficial
C. influential D. dangerous
9. How does the author organize Paragraph 3 ?
A. by listing figures B. by giving examples
C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons
10. We can learn from the passage that__________
A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime.
B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer .
C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally.
11. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.
D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers .

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的The new law,…aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof,was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security..(这项新法律是由社会发展和人类安全部发起的,旨在控制在家中吸烟,因为在同一屋檐下生活可能会危害他人的健康)和常识可知,吸烟有害人体身体健康,hazardous意为“危险的”,相当于dangerous,故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,作何列出了Mahidol大学医学院的烟草控制研究和知识管理中心的相关数据,说明了490万家庭中有一个或多个家庭成员吸烟,平均有1030万人因为在家里吸烟而不知不觉地成为被动吸烟者。并通过数据说明被动吸烟者患癌症的风险更大,由此可推知,作者通过列举数字的方法组织第3段内容。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。从倒数第二段的Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” …might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
(在家吸烟也“可能导致身体或情绪暴力”……而且还可能破坏吸烟者和不吸烟者家庭成员之间的关系。)可知,在家里吸烟可能会伤害到其他家庭成员的身体和情感。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的内容(在泰国,如果你在自己家里吸烟被认为对家里其他人有害,那么在家里吸烟就可能被视为犯罪。)可知,根据新的法律,在泰国自己家里吸烟现在可能被视为犯罪。故选C。

A good hug gives us a comfortable feeling, leaving us calm and at ease. Like the rest of us, scientists have long suspected the healing capacity (修复能力) of a good hug. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve gone about trying to prove it.
“There’s a lot that we still need to learn, and there’s a lot we don’t know,” says Michael Murphy, a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. “What seems to be emerging is that hugs, as well as other forms of affectionate touch, are really powerful ways of reminding people that they’re cared about and that they have someone in their corner.”
“We expect touch. When we’re born, we’re placed in our mother’s arms almost immediately. In that first year of our life, we spend a lot of time being held by other people. And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch and cuddling as a way of connection. I think what has been lost in the past years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection.”
While he was at Carnegie Mellon, Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One. In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period, the researchers found, that “receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative mood that occurs on days with interpersonal conflict”. That is to say, generally, hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.
Other papers have found similarly that hugs aren’t just reserved for simple social greetings. Hugs and other forms of physical touch can really change a person’s moods. A 2006 brain-wave study in which 16 married women were threatened with an electrical shock showed that simply holding hands with their husbands helped calm the brain’s reactions to the possible threat. Further, holding hands with their husbands in what was considered a higher-quality marriage lessened the brain’s threat response even more.
12. What is the author’s argument in this text?
A. A good hug makes us feel comfortable.
B. Everybody needs to touch every day.
C. A good hug can cure us of our disease.
D. A good touch can heal our hurt organs.
13. Why did the author quote Michael Murphy’s words?
A. To show his point of view.
B. To tell us the importance of hugs.
C. To support his point of view.
D. To introduce his argument.
14. We seek out hugs and touch mainly because .
A. we have been hugged since birth
B. it is a means of being connected
C. all children love being together
D. it is a way to show our love
15. Which should be the best title for this text?
A. The Power of Hugs
B. The Lost Connection
C. Human Nature
D. Husband’s Hand
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。作者围绕“拥抱”这一主题,通过引用科学家的研究和发现,详细说明了拥抱对人的心理和情感健康所产生的积极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A good hug gives us a comfortable feeling, leaving us calm and at ease. (一个好的拥抱给我们一种舒适的感觉,让我们平静和安心。)”可知,作者认为一个好的拥抱让我们感到舒适、平静和自在。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““There’s a lot that we still need to learn, and there’s a lot we don’t know, ” says Michael Murphy, a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. “What seems to be emerging is that hugs, as well as other forms of affectionate touch, are really powerful ways of reminding people that they’re cared about and that they have someone in their corner. ” (“我们还有很多需要学习的地方,还有很多我们不知道的地方,”德克萨斯理工大学心理科学系研究教授Michael Murphy说。“似乎正在出现的是,拥抱以及其他形式的深情触摸,确实是提醒人们他们被关心,有人在他们身边的有力方式。”)”可知,作者引用Michael Murphy的话是为了支持他的观点,即拥抱和其他形式的亲密接触是提醒人们他们被关心的有力方式。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““We expect touch. When we’re born, we’re placed in our mother’s arms almost immediately. In that first year of our life, we spend a lot of time being held by other people. And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch and cuddling as a way of connection. I think what has been lost in the past years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection.” (“我们期待触摸。当我们出生时,我们几乎立刻就被放在母亲的怀里。在我们生命的第一年,我们花了很多时间被别人抱着。随着我们长大,我们寻求拥抱,触摸和拥抱作为一种联系方式。我认为,在过去的几年里,我们失去了这些很容易让人想起联系的机会。”)”可知,我们寻求拥抱和触摸主要是因为它是一种联系的方式。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的“A good hug gives us a comfortable feeling, leaving us calm and at ease. (一个好的拥抱给我们一种舒适的感觉,让我们平静和安心。)”和最后一段中的“Other papers have found similarly that hugs aren’t just reserved for simple social greetings. Hugs and other forms of physical touch can really change a person’s moods. (其他论文也发现了类似的现象,拥抱不仅仅是简单的社交问候。拥抱和其他形式的身体接触真的可以改变一个人的情绪。)”可知,文章主要讨论了拥抱的力量及其对人们情绪的积极影响。选项A“The Power of Hugs (拥抱的力量)”符合题意。故选A项。

39. situations
40. that##which
41. to##with
42. confidence
43. creative
44. doing 45. takes
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了品德的重要性以及通过游戏和角色扮演帮助儿童培养品德的方法。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它们引导孩子们做出正确的选择,并为生活打下坚实的基础。此处表示泛指“一个坚实的基础”,且strong是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正因为如此,儿童尽早培养美德是很重要的。it is adj. for sb. to do sth.是固定句型,意为“对于某人来说,做某事是……的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式结构,因此空格处用develop的不定式to develop,作主语。故填to develop。
【38题详解】
考查语态。句意:它们必须像其他任何技能一样学习和实践。主语They和动词learn之间是被动关系,用be learned或be learnt表被动,must是情态动词,其后用动词原形be。故填be learned或be learnt。
【39题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:培养美德的一种有趣的方式是通过游戏,让孩子们在不同的情境中表演,并以安全和有趣的方式做出选择。本空作宾语,用名词situation,根据different可知,用复数形式。故填situations。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,包括分享、帮助或等待的游戏教会孩子们如何表现良好。本空引导定语从句,先行词是games,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:每个玩偶都与一种颜色相关联,这种颜色代表某种品德,比如紫色代表自信。be connected with/to是固定短语,意为“与……有关联”。故填with/to。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空格处作for的宾语,用名词confidence“自信”。故填confidence。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这种创造性的角色扮演帮助孩子们理解品德并在现实生活中运用它们。修饰名词role-play,用形容词creative“创造性的”,作定语。故填creative。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果一个孩子在做正确的事情上有困难,他们可以先用玩偶试试,然后学习下次该怎么做。have trouble (in) doing sth.是固定短语,意为“做某事有困难”,动名词作宾语。故填doing。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:学习美德需要时间,但在游戏和帮助下,孩子们可以成长为善良和负责任的人。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语Learning virtues是动名词短语,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填takes。

By the time they reached the lake, Daniel was so angry that he said to his father, “I’m going to find a better place for us to camp” and walked away alone.
With no path to follow, Daniel just walked on for quite a long time. After he had climbed to a high place, he turned around, hoping to see the lake. To his surprise, he saw nothing but forest and a snow capped mountain top. He suddenly realized that he was lost.
“Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!…” he cried. “Help! Help me!...”
No reply. If only he had not left his mobile phone in that bag with his father. Daniel kept moving, but the farther he walked, the more confused he became. As night was beginning to fall, Daniel was so tired that he had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Daniel said to himself, “Hadn’t I walked away angrily, I wouldn’t be trapped in this awful place, facing with the danger of dying.” He regretted with endless anxiety, and then became asleep with shining tears in his eyes.
Daniel rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. He could hear water trickling (滴落) some where in the distance. Quickly he followed the sound to a stream. To his great joy, he saw some apple trees. He ate some. Never in his life had he tasted anything better.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature. His life was full of tragedies, but he had the great influence on the 19th-century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day.

Fascinated (着迷) by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time, he wrote about imaginary societies in the future. Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction.

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof,was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine(尿液), with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding(超过) permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.
8. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. risky B. beneficial
C. influential D. dangerous
9. How does the author organize Paragraph 3 ?
A. by listing figures B. by giving examples
C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons
10. We can learn from the passage that__________
A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime.
B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer .
C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally.
11. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.
D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers .

A good hug gives us a comfortable feeling, leaving us calm and at ease. Like the rest of us, scientists have long suspected the healing capacity (修复能力) of a good hug. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve gone about trying to prove it.
“There’s a lot that we still need to learn, and there’s a lot we don’t know,” says Michael Murphy, a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. “What seems to be emerging is that hugs, as well as other forms of affectionate touch, are really powerful ways of reminding people that they’re cared about and that they have someone in their corner.”
“We expect touch. When we’re born, we’re placed in our mother’s arms almost immediately. In that first year of our life, we spend a lot of time being held by other people. And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch and cuddling as a way of connection. I think what has been lost in the past years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection.”
While he was at Carnegie Mellon, Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One. In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period, the researchers found, that “receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative mood that occurs on days with interpersonal conflict”. That is to say, generally, hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.
Other papers have found similarly that hugs aren’t just reserved for simple social greetings. Hugs and other forms of physical touch can really change a person’s moods. A 2006 brain-wave study in which 16 married women were threatened with an electrical shock showed that simply holding hands with their husbands helped calm the brain’s reactions to the possible threat. Further, holding hands with their husbands in what was considered a higher-quality marriage lessened the brain’s threat response even more.
12. What is the author’s argument in this text?
A. A good hug makes us feel comfortable.
B. Everybody needs to touch every day.
C. A good hug can cure us of our disease.
D. A good touch can heal our hurt organs.
13. Why did the author quote Michael Murphy’s words?
A. To show his point of view.
B. To tell us the importance of hugs.
C. To support his point of view.
D. To introduce his argument.
14. We seek out hugs and touch mainly because .
A. we have been hugged since birth
B. it is a means of being connected
C. all children love being together
D. it is a way to show our love
15. Which should be the best title for this text?
A. The Power of Hugs
B. The Lost Connection
C. Human Nature
D. Husband’s Hand

One weekend in August, Daniel and his father drove five hours to camp over night by a lake in the forest. On the way, unfortunately, his father received a phone call from Daniel’s teacher saying Daniel had broken the school rules, and then he started to criticize (批评) Daniel. By the time they reached the lake, Daniel was so angry that he said to his father, “I’m going to find a better place for us to camp” and walked away alone.
With no path to follow, Daniel just walked on for quite a long time. After he had climbed to a high place, he turned around, hoping to see the lake. To his surprise, he saw nothing but forest and a snow capped mountain top. He suddenly realized that he was lost.
“Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!…” he cried. “Help! Help me!...”
No reply. If only he had not left his mobile phone in that bag with his father. Daniel kept moving, but the farther he walked, the more confused he became. As night was beginning to fall, Daniel was so tired that he had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Daniel said to himself, “Hadn’t I walked away angrily, I wouldn’t be trapped in this awful place, facing with the danger of dying.” He regretted with endless anxiety, and then became asleep with shining tears in his eyes.
Daniel rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. He could hear water trickling (滴落) some where in the distance. Quickly he followed the sound to a stream. To his great joy, he saw some apple trees. He ate some. Never in his life had he tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Daniel began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead him to the lake.
注意:1. 续写词数应为120-150;

Paragraph 1:
As he walked along the stream carefully, Daniel heard a strange sound in the distance.
