Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other optionshave become only too clear. " This job pays well, but it's hell on the body, " said one co-worker. " Study hard and keep reading. " she added. When I'm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

A. It was no holiday for him at all.
B. It brought him nothing but suffering.
C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.
D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.
5. What can we infer about most college students?
A. They do better in the real world.
B. They are confident when they work.
C. They think too highly of themselves.
D. They are expert at handling machines.
6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?
A. A low income B. The lack of security
C. An unstable location D. Less break
7. How did the working experiences change the author?
A. He became responsible for his work.
B. He learned to be more practical at work.
C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.
D. He came to appreciate his college education.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过暑假在工厂的工作经历,让他意识到了大学教育的重要性,更加珍惜大学时光。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.”可知,自从作者高中毕业,每年暑假都在家乡周围的工厂工作。再根据第一段关键句“My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.”可知,作者每次暑假结束回到学校的时候都感觉很放松,因为他的暑假不是真正的假期,而是需要工作。由此可知,作者认为暑假对他来说,根本不是假期。故选A项。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over might.”可知,蓝领生活中最让人紧张的事情就是你的工作会随时消失。再根据后文可知,我突然得知自己工作的地方会在六个月后关闭。由此可知,对于蓝领工人来说,最大的压力是缺乏安全感,因为可能随时会失去工作。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.”可知,作者在工厂的工作经历激励他充分利用他的大学时光,在他进入真正的工作之前。由此可推断出,工厂的工作经历改变了作者对大学的态度,让他更加重视他的大学教育。故选D项。

A study of 27,000 men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.
The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it’s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don’t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.
Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you’ll be on your way to a fine day before you’ve even left the house.”
8. What does the text mainly deal with?
A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.
B. An interview by the BBC on people’s lifestyles.
C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain.
D. The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart.
9. Dr Leah Cahill’s suggestion is that we should _____.
A. fix the time for each meal we eat in a day
B. make sure our breakfast is always balanced
C. eat our breakfast immediately after getting up
D. have breakfast within an hour after waking up
10. The underlined word “tempting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. attractive B. valuable
C. obvious D. familiar
11. According to Victoria Taylor, _____.
A. men over 45 are more likely to get heart diseases
B. fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast
C. it’s healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch
D. the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。一个新的研究结果表明:不吃早餐,心脏病的风险更高,本文以此展开谈论,主要讲述了一项研究的结果,不吃早餐的消极影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks before lunch.(英国心脏基金会表示,早餐有助于人们在午餐前抵制含糖零食。)文中多次提及的breakfast和heart problems可知,本文主要探讨早餐对于心脏健康的重要性。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour.(最重要的是早上醒来时吃东西,最好是在一个小时内。)可知,Dr Leah Cahill认为最好在醒来一小时之内吃早餐。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。由文章第一段的breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks以及本段tempting之前的less一词可知,吃早餐可以减少临近中午时饼干对自己的诱惑。故此处tempting有“有诱惑力的;有吸引力的”之意。A. attractive有吸引力的;B. valuable有价值的;C. obvious明显的;D. familiar熟悉的。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people可以推出,Victoria Taylor认为,为了进一步确切证实早餐对人们心脏健康的重要性,研究者在该项研究中应该对其他年龄群体展开调查。故选D。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为
① 定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to,be called或that’s to say,such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,做题时要注意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。如第三小题,由文章第一段的breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks以及本段tempting之前的less一词可知,吃早餐可以减少临近中午时饼干对自己的诱惑。故此处tempting有“有诱惑力的;有吸引力的”之意。A. attractive有吸引力的;B. valuable有价值的;C. obvious明显的;D. familiar熟悉的。故选A。
D
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
13. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
14. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究显示,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经损失了一半的大树,而气候变化似乎是其主要因素。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段中,作者用具体数据说明了大树损失在各个地区的严重程度,没有任何地区幸免或不受影响,故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).可知,对野火的控制使得加利福尼亚的森林里挤满了小树,与大树争夺资源,也就是对野火的控制是善意的,但对大树产生了不利的影响。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.可知,造成加州水资源短缺的最大因素是温度升高,这导致树木向空气中流失更多的水分,以及更早的融雪,这减少了旱季对树木的供水量。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经损失了一半的大树,文章分析了引起该现象的几个主要因素。全文围绕“加州森林的大树都去哪儿了”话题展开,故选项A。

How to Make a Difference to the World
Many people believe that they lack the capacity to make a difference to the world. They hold the assumption that only figures such as Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are capable of achieving this. ____16____ The following is a guide as to how small people like us can make a difference to the world.
It need not be an enormous task.
____17____ In this case, you already have what it takes to make the world a better place. Making a difference to the world may seem like an enormous task, but it is in fact the collective effort of everyone to make small contributions. The size of the contribution is not what matters most. The key here is to have the heart to do it.
Start now.
There is no optimal time to start to make a difference to the world. You don’t need to wait till you have the time to share some love; you don’t have to wait till you earn more money to share a piece of bread. Little efforts count. ____18____
____19____
As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The good that we seek to do will make more of a difference when there is a long-lasting effect rather than a temporary effect. ____20____ And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.
A. For example, building a school will benefit many people for years to come.
B. Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.
C. The truth is, every one of us can make it in our own unique way.
D. Delays will merely prevent your kindness from generating impacts.
E. If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
F. Seek to make a long-lasting effect.
G. Stop complaining and do something.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了如何改变世界的一些建议。
【16题详解】
空前“Many people believe that they lack the capacity to make a difference to the world. They hold the assumption that only figures such as Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are capable of achieving this.(许多人认为自己无法对世界产生影响,他们想当然地认为只有像特蕾莎修女、托马斯·爱迪生、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和比尔·盖茨这样的人物才能做到这一点)”说人们觉得自己无法改变世界,只有像特蕾莎修女、托马斯·爱迪生、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和比尔·盖茨这样的人才能做到,空后“The following is a guide as to how small people like us can make a difference to the world.(以下是一份指南,介绍像我们这样的普通人如何为世界带来改变)”给出小人物改变世界的建议。本空应该与前一句成对比关系,才可以承上启下,C项“事实是,我们每个人都可以以自己独特的方式改变世界”可以承上启下。
【17题详解】
根据本段的小标题“It need not be an enormous task.(这并不需要是一项巨大的任务)”可知,本段主要是讲“小事也能改变世界”,分析选项,E项“如果你养活不了100个人,那养活一个就好了”符合本段语境。
【18题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Start now.(现在就开始)”可知,本段的主题是“要从现在做起”,前文“You don’t need to wait till you have the time to share some love; you don’t have to wait till you earn more money to share a piece of bread. Little efforts count.(你不必等到有空时才去分享爱意;也不必等到赚到更多钱才去分享一片面包。微小的努力同样重要)”提到不需要等待某个合适的时间,D项“拖延只会阻拦你的善举发挥作用”符合本段语境,且D选项中的delays呼应副标题的start now。
【19题详解】
此空为本段的小标题。根据下文的“The good that we seek to do will make more of a difference when there is a long-lasting effect rather than a temporary effect.(我们所追求的善行,若能产生持久的影响,而非短暂的效果,其意义将更加深远)”可知,本段主要讲持久的影响会造成更大的改变,分析选项,F项“力求持久的效果”可以做本段的小标题。
【20题详解】
根据空格后的“And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.(而当更多人接受教育时,他们也将为世界创造更多价值)”可知,这里主要是讲教育带来的影响,分析选项,A项“例如,建造学校将使很多人受益多年”和上下文话题一致,选项中的school和下文的education相呼应。

Technology and Life
Technology has greatly transformed our daily life. Thanks to technological advances, we can study online, shop at home and keep in touch with friends anytime. Fast transport also shortens the distance between places, making our life much more convenient.
However, every coin has two sides. Many people are addicted to smartphones, which does harm to their eyes and health. Worse still, we may lose chances of face-to-face communication if we rely too much on technology.
Therefore, we should use technology wisely. We should let it serve us rather than become its slave. Only in this way can we enjoy the benefits it brings.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily and Amy were best friends. They were both members of the English Drama Club of their school. Recently, they had been preparing together for an English short play A Tale of Friendship organized by their drama teacher Ms. Thompson.
The play, aiming to reflect the true friendship among peers, would be put on at New Year’s eve. Lily, cast as the main character, was eager to bring her character’s journey to life, hoping to inspire her classmates through her performance. While practicing, Lily, an enthusiastic and passionate performer, poured her heart and soul into every scene, meticulously (一丝不苟地) studying her lines and striving for emotional realness. However, Amy tended to be quiet and reserved in her role play. She got pretty calm on stage, which, in Lily’s eyes, meant she was not committed enough to the performance. The differences between them resulted in several heated moments, where both of the girls found themselves at odds (意见不合) , unable to see eye to eye.
Finally, Lily did not want to hold back any more. “You’re just too calm for this scene, Amy,” she said, frustration evident in her voice. “The audience needs to feel the passion! ”
Amy sighed, her eyes softening with a hint of sadness. “But Lily, the story isn’t just about the loud moments. Personally, the role in the drama is a quiet one. The unspoken words move the audience deeply.”
Lily was frozen with anger. She turned around and left the stage without a word. Amy stood there as still as a statue, her eyebrows knitted tightly together in a deep frown.
The practice had to be stopped.
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。
Knowing about the quarrel, Ms. Thompson pulled them together.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lily and Amy looked at each other and understood.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Knowing about the quarrel, Ms. Thompson pulled them together. She first encouraged the girls to express their thoughts openly. Lily insisted her performance style, pointing that the stage demands big expressions, while Amy argued that being real makes it more touching. Ms. Thompson then said, “Girls, a great performance is like a symphony. Both of you are like different music instruments having your own characteristics. Alone, it’s good; but together, you create harmony.”
Lily and Amy looked at each other and understood. Lily approached Amy. “I was wrong to judge you,” she admitted, her voice soft but sincere. “Your calmness is part of what makes the story beautiful.” Amy smiled, her eyes bright. “And your passion inspires me to give my best. Let’s work together, like we used to.” From that day on, they practiced with a newfound understanding, blending their strengths to create a performance that moved everyone who watched it. On New Year’s Eve, their play was a resounding success, not just because of their talent, but because they reminded everyone of the true meaning of friendship.

Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other optionshave become only too clear. " This job pays well, but it's hell on the body, " said one co-worker. " Study hard and keep reading. " she added. When I'm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

A. It was no holiday for him at all.
B. It brought him nothing but suffering.
C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.
D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.
5. What can we infer about most college students?
A. They do better in the real world.
B. They are confident when they work.
C. They think too highly of themselves.
D. They are expert at handling machines.
6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?
A. A low income B. The lack of security
C. An unstable location D. Less break
7. How did the working experiences change the author?

B. He learned to be more practical at work.
C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.
D. He came to appreciate his college education.

A study of 27,000 men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.
The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it’s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don’t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.
Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you’ll be on your way to a fine day before you’ve even left the house.”
8. What does the text mainly deal with?
A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.
B. An interview by the BBC on people’s lifestyles.
C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain.
D. The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart.
9. Dr Leah Cahill’s suggestion is that we should _____.
A. fix the time for each meal we eat in a day
B. make sure our breakfast is always balanced
C. eat our breakfast immediately after getting up
D. have breakfast within an hour after waking up
10. The underlined word “tempting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. attractive B. valuable
C. obvious D. familiar
11. According to Victoria Taylor, _____.
A. men over 45 are more likely to get heart diseases
B. fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast
C. it’s healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch
D. the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study
D
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
13. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
14. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

How to Make a Difference to the World
Many people believe that they lack the capacity to make a difference to the world. They hold the assumption that only figures such as Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are capable of achieving this. ____16____ The following is a guide as to how small people like us can make a difference to the world.
It need not be an enormous task.
____17____ In this case, you already have what it takes to make the world a better place. Making a difference to the world may seem like an enormous task, but it is in fact the collective effort of everyone to make small contributions. The size of the contribution is not what matters most. The key here is to have the heart to do it.
Start now.
There is no optimal time to start to make a difference to the world. You don’t need to wait till you have the time to share some love; you don’t have to wait till you earn more money to share a piece of bread. Little efforts count. ____18____
____19____
As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The good that we seek to do will make more of a difference when there is a long-lasting effect rather than a temporary effect. ____20____ And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.
A. For example, building a school will benefit many people for years to come.
B. Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily and Amy were best friends. They were both members of the English Drama Club of their school. Recently, they had been preparing together for an English short play A Tale of Friendship organized by their drama teacher Ms. Thompson.
The play, aiming to reflect the true friendship among peers, would be put on at New Year’s eve. Lily, cast as the main character, was eager to bring her character’s journey to life, hoping to inspire her classmates through her performance. While practicing, Lily, an enthusiastic and passionate performer, poured her heart and soul into every scene, meticulously (一丝不苟地) studying her lines and striving for emotional realness. However, Amy tended to be quiet and reserved in her role play. She got pretty calm on stage, which, in Lily’s eyes, meant she was not committed enough to the performance. The differences between them resulted in several heated moments, where both of the girls found themselves at odds (意见不合) , unable to see eye to eye.
Finally, Lily did not want to hold back any more. “You’re just too calm for this scene, Amy,” she said, frustration evident in her voice. “The audience needs to feel the passion! ”
Amy sighed, her eyes softening with a hint of sadness. “But Lily, the story isn’t just about the loud moments. Personally, the role in the drama is a quiet one. The unspoken words move the audience deeply.”
Lily was frozen with anger. She turned around and left the stage without a word. Amy stood there as still as a statue, her eyebrows knitted tightly together in a deep frown.
The practice had to be stopped.
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。
Knowing about the quarrel, Ms. Thompson pulled them together.
