When Joshua White was growing up in southeastern Indiana, he would lie in his backyard for hours observing ants and bugs. He met the little creatures with a sense of wonder and engaged himself in understanding the mysteries of the natural world.
White grew up to become an artist. He recently moved to North Carolina, where he still spends considerable time as he did in childhood: walking near his house and carefully looking at his surroundings. What has changed is that he now captures the little animals with a smartphone camera that allows him to better study them and share the photos with viewers beyond his backyard.
His lifelong love of the natural world is reflected in his project “A Photographic Survey of the American Yard”. Compared with Charles Darwin, who traveled great distances to observe and sketch plants and animals that existed in nearly inaccessible places, White records the plants and animals that are frequent seen in everyday life but are rarely considered noteworthy.
White believes that most of us don’t think often enough about the world we inhabit or what goes on under our feet. Though some creatures are often regarded as something insignificant or even pests, White’s images ask us to recognize not only that they’re here but also that they’re important.
4. What do we know about White’s childhood?
A. He showed great interest in arts.
B. He had an inborn love for nature.
C. He was a good catcher of ants and bugs.
D. He collected a lot of pictures of nature.
5. What is most people’s attitude towards their surroundings according to White?
A. Concerned. B. Curious. C. Unfriendly. D. Neglectful.
6. Which of the following sayings may White agree with?
A. Beauty is around us all the time.
B. Scenery is fine, but human nature is finer.
C. Drive slow and enjoy the scenery; drive fast and join the scenery.
D. There is nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. A Lifelong Passion for Art. B. A Photographic Survey
C. Art from an American Backyard D. The Functions of Smartphone Cameras
C

“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked, “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “You start.” “Let’s make the rules first,” the businessman said, “That’s not fair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”
“That’s true.” The businessman said. “What do you want we should do?” “If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100. And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50.” The farmer said. The businessman thought about this, then he said, “OK. That’s fair. Who will go first?”

The Nobel Prize in Literature, which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901, netted(净赚)the winning author 747,000 pounds ($915,000), a medal and certificate, and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future date. The winner was selected, as usual, by the Swedish Academy, which also picked a second laureate(获奖者)this year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal(丑闻).
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk “for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic(百科全书式的)passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life”. She won last year’s Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights. Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke “for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity(语言的独创性) has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”. His representative works include Sorrow Beyond Dreams, Slow Homecoming and The Great Fall.
Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners, there are also two nominees(被提名者)who have attracted much attention. Chinese people are keeping their eyes on nominee Can Xue. Can Xue, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Central China’s Hunan Province in 1953. She had a tough childhood working as a worker in a street factory for eight years. Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path. Can’s books have been translated and published outside China. Frontier, published in the US in 2017, won attention and applause from the West.
The other hot guess is Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories have been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards. Internet users keep eyes on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he has become hot guess for years. His representative works include Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84.
12. Why are two writers awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year?
A. To fill the prize gap of 2018.
B. To attract more people’s attention.
C. To inspire more outstanding writers.
D. To satisfy the development of literature.
13. What made Olga Tokarczuk win the Nobel Prize in Literature?
A. Her high popularity. B. Her language skills.
C. Her numerous works. D. Her writing style.
14. Which book can you choose if you are interested in Peter’s style?
A. Flights. B. The Great Fall.
C. Frontier. D. Kafka on the Shore.
15. Why do the Internet users pay close attention to Haruki Murakami?
A. He has created hundreds of great novels.
B. He has received lots of awards all the time.
C. He has been supposed to win the prize for years.
D. He has been recognized as the most popular writer.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.

When Joshua White was growing up in southeastern Indiana, he would lie in his backyard for hours observing ants and bugs. He met the little creatures with a sense of wonder and engaged himself in understanding the mysteries of the natural world.
White grew up to become an artist. He recently moved to North Carolina, where he still spends considerable time as he did in childhood: walking near his house and carefully looking at his surroundings. What has changed is that he now captures the little animals with a smartphone camera that allows him to better study them and share the photos with viewers beyond his backyard.
His lifelong love of the natural world is reflected in his project “A Photographic Survey of the American Yard”. Compared with Charles Darwin, who traveled great distances to observe and sketch plants and animals that existed in nearly inaccessible places, White records the plants and animals that are frequent seen in everyday life but are rarely considered noteworthy.
White believes that most of us don’t think often enough about the world we inhabit or what goes on under our feet. Though some creatures are often regarded as something insignificant or even pests, White’s images ask us to recognize not only that they’re here but also that they’re important.
4. What do we know about White’s childhood?
A. He showed great interest in arts.
B. He had an inborn love for nature.
C. He was a good catcher of ants and bugs.
D. He collected a lot of pictures of nature.
5. What is most people’s attitude towards their surroundings according to White?
A. Concerned. B. Curious. C. Unfriendly. D. Neglectful.
6. Which of the following sayings may White agree with?
A. Beauty is around us all the time.
B. Scenery is fine, but human nature is finer.
C. Drive slow and enjoy the scenery; drive fast and join the scenery.
D. There is nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. A Lifelong Passion for Art. B. A Photographic Survey
C. Art from an American Backyard D. The Functions of Smartphone Cameras
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C

During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(趁需求少的时候去你想去的地方,利用巨大的折扣。在旺季,酒店和机票价格上涨很快,由于游客的涌入,你可能会花更多的假期时间排队)”提到了具体介绍了旺季出游时花费时间和金钱较高,又有特别多的人,所以最后总结出最好找出淡季是什么时候,即在淡季出游。故D选项“所以最好弄清楚淡季什么时候开始”符合语境,故选D。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new? Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs. During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat.(当你能体验到新的东西时,为什么还要在大型连锁餐厅吃饭呢?计划膳食是另一种减少旅行成本的方法。在你的家庭旅行中,尝试当地人吃的新食物)”可知,上文建议尝试当地新食物,故本句承接上文,说明这么做的好处:这不仅能省钱,还能给你带来全新的体验。故E选项“这不仅能省钱,还能给你带来全新的体验”符合语境,故选E。

【20题详解】
根据上文“As a tourist, avoid taking taxis whenever possible, since they are expensive.(作为一名游客,尽可能避免乘坐出租车,因为出租车很贵)”可知,上文提到了出租车昂贵,可知本句是在建议其他便宜的交通方式。故G选项“相反,乘坐公共汽车、铁路或地铁。它们总是更便宜”符合语境,故选G。

【答案】There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but the one that I admire most is Thomas Edison. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Probably I can’t be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!”
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.
