[2020·河南省五校联考]I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar.
“Lindy, this is Lesley.” I didn't know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, “Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer?” We_had_lots_of_room_in_our_freezer,_and_in_fact,_too_much. “Sure,” I responded, “did your freezer break down?” “Not exactly,” Lesley replied, “but
- 18 -
I will explain when I arrive.”
Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租约) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that very night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, “When will you come back for all this?”Lesley laughed, “We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!” Then they waved goodbye and drove away.
“For helping them out?” We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way, by that call.“Do you have room for a turkey?”

[2020·成都第一次诊断]Young trees don't just grow; they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it. They also help each other out whenever there's trouble.
Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author's land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed (使落下) its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can't be the explanation. So what's happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis (光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions: trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don't have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.
But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics (同种植物) with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years !
Why do trees do_such_a_thing? It's simple: it's better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.
8.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?
A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B.To show trees can make independent decisions.
C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.
D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.
9.According to the text, which of the following best describes general features
- 18 -
of trees?
A.Anxious and bold.
B.Smart and adventurous.
C.Helpful and wellbehaved.
D.Adaptable and supportive.
10.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?
A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance.
C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.
11.Where does this text most probably come from?
A.A public lecture. B.A science book.
C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal.
D
[2020·湖南省师大附中高三检测]Almost every day we come across situations where we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their rights to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion (幻觉), a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shoppers giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decisionmaking is then either avoided or trusted to the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost outofdate once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
12.What does the author try to argue in the first paragraph?
- 18 -
A.The practice of choice is difficult.
B.Choice is a born right.
C.It's easy to make choices.
D.Companies offer good shopping choice.
13.Which of the following is most likely to cause anxiety?
A.Easy access to everyday goods.
B.Too many choices.
C.Misleading advertisements.
D.Professional shopping advice.
14.The example of computers is used to prove that ________.
A.updated products flood the market
B.hightech products are of poor quality
C.everyday goods need to be replaced
D.advanced products are in demand
15.What is this passage mainly about?
A.The opinions on people's right.
B.The problems of the availability of daily goods.
C.The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
D.The variety of choices in modern society.

[2020·甘肃省第一次诊断]Let's be honest here: random acts of kindness make us feel good. They help benefit society in small ways, and those small benefits can turn into huge benefits.

- 18 -
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文,讲述了作者一家在困难时期意外收到一位只有点头之交的人的“求助”,实际上却得到对方帮助的故事。
4.B 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help”可知,作者刚听到电话铃响时认为不会有好事发生,猜测是哪个家人需要帮助,因此作者应是担忧的(anxious)。
5.A 考查句意理解。画线句表示“我们冰箱的空间很多,事实上,是太多了”;最后一段中的“Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try”暗示,作者真正想要表达的是他们生活困难,贮存的食物快吃完了,因此她家冰箱有太多的空间,故A项正确。
6.A 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of”可知,Lesley不想把这么好的食物扔掉,所以决定把食物送给她能想起的任何人,包括作者,故A项正确。
7.D 考查主旨大意。文章主要讲述了作者一家在困难时期收到Lesley的“求助”电话,询问其冰柜是否有空间存放火鸡,结果却得到Lesley的帮助的故事。结合文章前后均提到“Do you have room for a turkey”可知,D项正确。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有它不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助。研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
8.B 考查推理判断。根据第二段第四句“One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others”可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes”可知,树木能自己做决定。据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故B项正确。
9.D 考查推理判断。根据第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes”,并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,树木适应能力强;根据第四段第一、二句“But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients”可知,树木不仅善于照顾自己,当遇到困难时,它们会发出警告,相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类。据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助,故D项正确。
10.B 考查词义猜测。根据第四段尾句“Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years !”可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第一句“Why do trees do
- 18 -
such a thing?”和第五段的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助?”,故画线短语是指提供帮助,故B项正确。
11.B 考查推理判断。通读全文可知,本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有它不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助;研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,本文最可能选自科学书籍,故B项正确。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。当今社会,很多人误以为选择是自己拥有的一项权利。其实,在很多情况下,那只是一种幻觉,不过是被一些公司或广告商为了出售他们的产品而营造的一种错误想法。
12.A 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right.”可知,作者认为对世界上的很多人来说,选择并非是一种权利,无论是在贫穷的国家还是在富有的国家中,选择对他们来说其实是一种奢侈品,很美好但很难得到。也就是说选择是很难做到的,故选A项。
13.B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives.”可知,无休止的选择催生出人们生活中的焦虑,即人们焦虑是因为选择太多而导致的,故选B项。
14.A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost outofdate once they are bought.”可知,产品的设计和生产方面的进步加速了(产品)被推向市场的进程,产品也需要缩短使用期,电脑便是其中的一个例子。由此可以推断,作者以电脑为例,证明市场上充斥着更新的产品,故选A项。
15.C 考查主旨大意。纵观全文,尤其是文章最后一句“Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.”可知,本文主要讲述了人们在购物时因为选择太多而无法简单选择的现状,故选C项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Mardy McGarry打算为残疾儿童建造一个操场的消息传开后,镇上有三分之一的人过来帮忙。最后在社会各界的帮助下,操场顺利完工。
1.G 根据空前一句可知,她没有料到,镇上有三分之一的人会加入其中,即为孩子们建造一个操场。据此可推知,空处应是继续说明镇上的人帮助她把想法变为现实,故G项符合语境。
2.F 根据空前一句可知,市政会为操场选址;根据空后一句可知,McGarry询问学生的愿望。据此可推知,空处应是说明她开始调查所需设备,并联系设计公司,故F项正确。
- 18 -
3.A 根据本段介绍的拍卖会、资金会的捐款等活动可知,A项“很快一些更小型的公司也来帮忙”符合语境。
4.E 空前一句是说在听到这个消息后,两位女士请假过来帮忙;空后一句是说孩子们也帮忙打磨地面。据此可推知,空处与此对应,应是介绍人们过来帮忙的具体例子,故E项符合语境。
5.B 根据空处下文中的“you build one for all children”可推知,空处介绍McGarry建造操场想要看到的一幕:所有孩子肩并肩地一起玩耍,故B项正确。

18.C 根据上文他的父母同意给他出一半的钱可知,此处表示他的父母给了之前向他承诺的150美元的支票。C项意为“承诺”,故C项正确。
19.B 根据上文可知,他挣了150美元,他的父母又给他150美元,所以他攒够了足以支付自己旅行的费用。B项意为“足以支付,够付”,符合语境,故B项正确。
20.B 根据语境并结合选项可知,这段经历在很多方面塑造了Terence,他以巨大的努力使自己的梦想成为现实,故B项正确。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,小小的善举却能带来巨大的改变。作者告诉读者如何通过小小的善举成为“每日英雄”,从而让我们的生活更加美好。
1.F 空前提到小小的善举可以带来巨大的改变,Being an everyday hero (成为每日英雄)可以让世界更加美好。而空后又提到了Being an everyday hero的一些方法,所以设空处应为承上启下的过渡句,故F项:如果你想成为“每日英雄”,那么请每天花五分钟的时间来成为这样的英雄,符合语境。
2.D 本段主旨是要保持清洁,根据空前“At home, keep your things organized.”如果你在家里,要整理好自己的东西,因此,设空处应承接上文所表达的含义,故D项:不要弄得一团糟,让别人去清理,符合语境。
3.G 根据空前“Although you might not be able to understand everyone's struggles, you can offer unconditional kindness and patience.”尽管你可能没有办法了解每个人的困难,但你可以给他们无条件的善良和耐心;再根据空后“Maybe the fastfood worker has two other jobs and children at

home.”或许,快餐员还有两份其他的工作,又要照顾家里的孩子。因此,G项:或许,这位脾气不好的老人正经受着病痛折磨。既能体现出人的艰难,又与后面的Maybe...构成排比句式,故G项符合语境。
4.B 设空处为本段的首句,应为本段的主旨句,而本段内容主要是我们要向有需要的人提供帮助,故B项:帮助那些正在奋斗的人,符合语境。B项中的“Help someone”与设空后的“whether someone needs help”相呼应,故选B项。
5.C 设空处为本段的首句,应为本段的主旨句。本段内容主要是我们可以捐赠一些东西,这样的方式也可以为很多人带来益处,故C项:选择捐赠你用过的东西,符合语境。

第一节 短文改错
In order to encourage the seniors to take exercise and relax the, we are going to organize a mountainclimbing activity i April 10. We wer to gather at the school gate and start at 7:20 a.m. by bus and get back at 7:00 p.m. We'll climb Huangshan Mountain in the morning, on whic top we'll have a picnic at noon. In the afternoon we'll be divided into grou and have a free time. Remember take photos and make notes for the photo exhibition or the essay contest to be held lat at our school. Besides, takin your lunch and drinking water with you. Unles you want to join, please come to Students' Union and sign up before April 5.
①them改为themselves 此处relax的动作发出者,即其逻辑主语the seniors与其宾语为同一对象,应用反身代词作relax的宾语,故将them改为themselves。
②in改为on 具体某一天前用介词on,故将in改为on。
③were改为are 全文主体时态为一般时态,因此此处应用be to do结构表示将来意义,故将were改为are。
④which改为whose 此处为非限制性定语从句,引导词作top的定语,表示所属关系,应用whose,故将which改为whose。
⑤删除第二个the at noon为固定短语,意为“在正午”,中间不用定冠词,故删除第二个the。

⑥group改为groups 根据语境可知,此处表示“我们被分成几个组”,group为可数名词,此处应用复数形式,故将group改为groups。
⑦在Remember后加to remember to do sth.为固定用法,意为“记得要做某事”,故在Remember后加to。
⑧late改为later 此处指之后在“我们”学校举办的照片展或者散文大赛。late意为“晚,迟”;later意为“后来;随后”,故将late改为later。
⑨taking改为take 根据上文的“Remember... and make notes for...”可知,此处也是一个祈使句,应用动词原形开头,故将taking改为take。
⑩Unless改为If 句意为:如果你想加入,请于4月5日前来学生会报名。unless意为“除非”;if意为“如果”,此处应用if引导条件状语从句,故将Unless改为If。
第二节 书面表达
【参考范文】
Dear Henry,
Some of my friends and I plan to pay a visit to the tea garden near our school this Sunday. I've learned that you are interested in Chinese tea culture, and I wonder if you could join us.
I think it will be an enjoyable experience for you to learn something about the history and development of Chinese tea culture there. And I bet you will be impressed by the traditional craftsmanship of making tea, which includes washing the tea pots, adding tea leaves, and pouring water into the cups. And then you could taste the tea made by yourself.
I am looking forward to your reply. With best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
