[2019·武汉市质检]
Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.
Here are some steps on how to start your new day:
1.Take time to evaluate your day
At the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract (获得) lessons which you can bring to the following day.
2.Make a commitment to apply the lessons
After you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.
3.“Close” your day
After you have spent the time thinking about the day and extracting the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.
4.Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing else
After you “close” a day, you should not bring anything out of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day without the burden of yesterday.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了如何开始你新的一天。
【难句分析】 Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract (获得) lessons which you can bring to the following day.
分析:本句是一个主从复合句,其中which引导定语从句,修饰先行词lessons。
译文:相反,这个思考时间的目的是获得你可以带到第二天的经验。
1.What will happen if we think too much about the past?
A.There will be a disaster.
B.There will be good results.
C.We won't have a peaceful mind.
D.We surely won't finish today's task.
答案与解析:C 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day”可推知,如果我们对过去想得太多,我们将不会有一颗平静的心。
2.When should we draw lessons from the past mistakes?
A.At the end of a day.
B.When we make mistakes.
C.At the beginning of a day.
D.When we regret making mistakes.
答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。根据“Take time to evaluate your day”中的“At the end of a day, take some time to think about it”“the purpose of this thinking time is to extract (获得) lessons which you can bring to the following day”可知,我们应该在一天结束的时候从过去的错误中吸取教训。
3.Why should we extract lessons from the past day?
A.To set them down.
B.To consider them again.
C.To make a better decision.
D.To apply them to the present.
答案与解析:D 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day without the burden of yesterday”可知,我们从过去的一天获得经验以供现在使用。

For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes - it is also about developing good ones. Several studies have looked at the longterm effects eating with families has on children. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a causeandeffect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong correlation.
About three years ago, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three quarters of the world's countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.
Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badlybehaved. That is a finding of a study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University in New York. In the CASA report, titled “The Importance of Family Dinners Ⅷ”, researchers say, “Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's really going on in their lives ...” They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to behave badly.
Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience longterm physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills.
One researcher, Linda Pagani says that there is “a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and child and adolescent health”. Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and daytoday concerns”. She adds that they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了与家人一起进餐对孩子的好处,这不但能防止不良后果的发生,而且能帮助孩子形成好的习惯。这种关系已被多项科学研究所证明。
【长难句分析】 1.Several studies have looked at the longterm effects eating with families has on children.
分析:本句是主从复合句,句子看似简单,但理解起来有一定的难度。主句是Several studies have looked at the longterm effects,其后是省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词longterm effects。
译文:有几项研究探索了与家人一同进餐对孩子的长期影响。
2.Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.
分析:这是一个复合句。that引导的是同位语从句,说明fact的具体内容;who引导定语从句修饰students。同时主句是一个完全倒装句,是表语和系动词前置引起的全部倒装。
译文:其发现之一是与家人共进正餐的学生逃学的可能性更小。
4.What does the underlined word “correlation” mean?
A.effect B.cause
C.outcome D.tie
答案与解析:D 考查词义猜测。文章第一段中谈到,研究似乎并没有证明两者之间有着必然的因果关系,但是作者笔锋一转,引出它们之间还是有一定关系(tie)的。下文也从多个角度说明了这种联系。
5.In which aspect can eating together influence children according to the OECD?
A.Academic performance. B.Physical health.
C.Mental health. D.Social skills.
答案与解析:A 考查推理判断。根据题干的OECD把线索定位到文章第二段,第二段最后一句说明与家人共进正餐的学生逃学的可能性更小,所以可推知,是否一起进餐对学生的学业水平有影响,故选A项。
6.How do children benefit from eating family meals together according to Pagani?
A.By having healthy food and drinks.
B.By forming good eating habits.
C.By becoming more social.
D.By understanding their parents' life.
答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段中的“likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and daytoday concerns”“they may likely help the children have better communication skills with
others”可知,Pagani认为跟家人一起进餐能让孩子亲身接触社交,并参与对社会事务的讨论等,这很可能帮助孩子跟他人更好地交流。由此可知,Pagani认为孩子可以通过跟家人一起用餐来提高自己的交际能力,故选C项。
7.What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A.Easy tips on eating family meals.
B.Benefits of family dinners to children.
C.Links between eating together and child health.
D.Findings of studies about enjoying family dinners.
答案与解析:B 考查主旨大意。这篇文章的主题是与家人一起进餐对孩子的好处,故B项概括得最为全面。

[2019·湖北八中联考]
Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true and tested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.
1. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.
2. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is full of sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.
3. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!
4. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by overcooking. To
remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了可口可乐在日常生活中的一些妙用。
【亮点句积累】Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true and tested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries.(第一段第一句)
译文:可乐于1886年被可口可乐公司引进,这使它成为在200多个国家中几代人的相当真实且被验证过的最爱。
8.What does the underlined word “scrub” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Start. B.Cleaning.
C.Shake. D.Example.
答案与解析:B 考查词义猜测。根据第二段内容可知,如果你有一堆生锈的小物件,把它们放在可乐里泡一个晚上,第二天早上好好清洁一下,铁锈就能被除去。由此可推知,scrub意为“清洁”,故选B项。
9.What is important while using coke to clean car windows?
A.Use a dry cloth.
B.Rub the window lightly.
C.Don't pour too much coke.
D.Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.
答案与解析:D 考查细节理解。由第三段最后一句“As coke is full of sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.”可知,用可口可乐清洗车窗时,把含糖物质完全擦干净很重要,故选D项。
10.For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?
A.To get rid of the black on the pot.
B.To break down the rust.
C.To remove smells.
D.To clean windows.
答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。由第四段第一句“For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue
from time to time,one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂), really helps to break the smell down.”可知,为了去除异味,可乐应与其他物质混合,故选C项。
11.What type of writing is this text?
A.An advertisement. B.A review.
C.A news report. D.A practical guide.
答案与解析:D 考查推理判断。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了可口可乐在日常生活中的一些妙用;由此可推知,本文最有可能是一篇生活指南,故选D项。

[2019·西宁检测]
For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of the earth. In addition, they will scan (扫描) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like the earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable planets (that can be lived in) in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible (易懂的) messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our
galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.
【文章大意】 本文讨论了外太空是否存在生命。迄今为止,科学家们尝试了多种方法寻找外太空生命,但都没有得到回应。
【难句分析】 Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy.
分析:此句是一个复合句。句中的“that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility”是一个宾语从句;“that intelligent life exists in our galaxy”是一个同位语从句。
译文:其他科学家认为,我们的研究时间还不够长,不足以排除在我们的银河系中存在智慧生命的可能性。
12.According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?
A.15 billion. B.10 billion.
C.5 billion. D.200 billion.
答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like the earth”可知,在银河系中有2万亿颗恒星,其中5%的恒星像我们的太阳,也就是100亿颗恒星像我们的太阳,而在这100亿颗恒星中有一半的恒星有一颗像地球一样的行星,故答案为C。
13.The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________.
A.why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B.how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C.where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D.when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
答案与解析:B 考查段落大意。根据第一段中的“Most of these searches have been done over the radio”和“Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such
messages”可知,本段主要介绍了科学家们通过向太空发射无线电信号和电视信号的方式来寻找外太空生命,故答案为B。
14.The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“________ ”.
A.find B.follow
C.form D.check
答案与解析:D 考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time”可知,科学家们向太空发射无线电信号以后,使用计算机对这些信号进行监测,希望能够捕捉到外太空生命的痕迹。check“检查”与画线词意思相近,故答案为D。
15.Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?
A.Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
B.Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C.The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
D.Scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planets.
答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的“Most of these searches have been done over the radio”和“Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages”可知,科学家们正在使用各种方法研究外太空生命是否存在,故答案为A。

How to Stop Worrying About Being Perfect
[2019·重庆第二次调研]
We don't have to be perfect all the time. Perfection is an illusion (幻想) because we are all humans. __16__ Even something like a weather report or a stock prediction is out of date the second it's released (发布).
Question your thinking.
__17__ It's so subjective. It's up to us. It's not what someone
else does, has, or delivers. So, ask yourself, “What do I really want?” When you find out — ooh! What a relief!
__18__
Sheryl Sandberg explains that she constantly gets long emails from customers and colleagues that want long responses in return. But busy as she is, she often replies in one sentence because it's done that way. So forgive yourself for doing the similar thing when you need to. It is said done is better than perfect.
Don't jump to judgment.
There's no one more critical (挑剔的) of you than you. __19__ Because we tend to focus on what's going wrong in our study and neglect what's going right. If you have done your best, that is excellent. Go on!
Enjoy the process.
Life's 99 percent is a journey. Yes, we have those great moments that unforgettably bring us joy — that praise from our teachers, the lovely touches from our parents, whatever it is — but that lasts... well... a few seconds, really. We get used to it pretty fast. __20__
A.How to stop worrying?
B.What is perfect, anyway?
C.Know not perfect but done.
D.We all have our flaws (瑕疵).
E.Judge right or wrong before going on.
F.Then we buckle up (系上安全带) for the next journey.
G.You don't have to be so eager to put yourself down as a failure.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了“我们无须事事完美”这一话题,并就此提出避免为完美而焦虑的方法。
16.答案与解析:D 根据空后的“Even something like a weather report or a stock prediction is out of date the second it's released (发布)”可知,甚至像天气预报或股票预测也可能发布过时。据此可知,空处应是说人人都有瑕疵,不要追求事事完美,故D项正确,
17.答案与解析:B 根据该段标题“Question your thinking”可知,要质疑自己的想法。据此可知,空处为一问句,表达对自己的想法的质疑;并结合该段下文中的“What do I really
want”及本文话题可知,该处是对“什么是完美的”质疑,故B项正确。
18.答案与解析:C 根据该空位置可知,该空为该段的标题。根据该段尾句“It is said done is better than perfect”可知,该段主要论述了“做比不做强”这一论点;结合该段讲述的Sheryl用一句话回复本该详细回复的邮件的例子可知,该段主要论述“要知道虽然不完美,但是做了”,故C项正确。
19.答案与解析:G 根据空处前一句“There's no one more critical (挑剔的) of you than you”可知,没有人比你对自己更挑剔了;再结合空处后一句 “Because we tend to focus on what's going wrong in our study and neglect what's going right”可知,因为我们倾向于关注我们在学习中出了什么问题,而忽略正确的事情。据此可以判断,你无须总是担心失败,没有必要因失败而责备自己,故G项符合语境。
20.答案与解析:F 根据该段标题“Enjoy the process”并结合该段第一句“Life's 99 percent is a journey”可知,该段主要论述要享受做事情的过程,因为生命的99%是旅程。F项中的“journey”与此对应,故F项正确。

A student at Hellesdon High School in England has been called “Trash Girl” by bullies (恃强凌弱者) for her environmentallyfriendly ways. __21__, that has not stopped her from cleaning up the environment.
Using the basket on her bicycle, 12yearold Nadia has been __22__ trash along her twomile route to and __23__ school since September of last year. __24__ her good intentions, some of the kids at Nadia's school have nicknamed her “Trash Girl” and have bullied her for her selfless efforts to help the __25__.

[2019·湖北七市联考]
We use flowers as messengers, to say something we might have trouble saying __41__ (direct) ourselves. Over time flowers have come to symbolize the most powerful human experiences: beauty, love, hope, and rebirth. Sweet flowers alone can say __42__ one fears expressing. We've listed some of the most famous flowers __43__ have a special significance.
In Mao Zedong's poem Ode to the Plum Blossom (《咏梅》), the plum blossom was used __44__ (praise) great soldiers who
sacrificed their lives for a better life for Chinese people.
__45__ great Chinese poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty once compared Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face to blooming peonies (牡丹). Flowering in May, peonies' large petals and strong colors are linked to prosperity and __46__ (rich) in traditional Chinese culture.
The orchid (兰花) is well known for its delicate smell.Beautiful articles and poems __47__ (call) “ lanzhang” by Chinese people in ancient times.
Roses, of course, have the __48__ (colorful) meaning among all the flowers. Red roses, to this day, mean “I love you.” A red rose, rather than yellow roses, __49__ (act) as the traditional romantic gift given to your love on Valentine's Day. __50__ (send) yellow roses can be risky, as they represent either friendship or envy.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们用花当作信使来表达情感。
41.答案与解析:directly 考查副词。由空前动词saying可知,此处应用副词修饰,故填directly。
42.答案与解析:what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,同时结合语境“一个人害怕表达什么”,所以填what。
43.答案与解析:that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词为flowers且有形容词最高级修饰,所以空处只能填关系代词that而不能用which。
44.答案与解析:to praise 考查非谓语动词。结合语境可知此处应用不定式作目的状语,所以填to praise。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。
45.答案与解析:The 考查冠词。句中Li Bai作poet的同位语,而介词短语from the Tang Dynasty是后置定语,所以空处应填定冠词The表特指。
46.答案与解析:richness 考查名词。空前and一词决定其前后单词词性相同。and前prosperity(繁荣)是名词,所以空处应该也是名词,形容词rich的名词是richness。
47.答案与解析:were called 考查时态和语态。Sth. be called sth.“……被称为……”,是固定搭配;由时间状语in ancient times (在古代)可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。
48.答案与解析:most
colorful 考查形容词最高级。由句末介词短语“among all the flowers”(在所有的花之中)可知,这里应用形容词的最高级,所以填most colorful。
49.答案与解析:acts 考查时态及主谓一致。本段描述的都是客观情况,故应用一般现在时;句子的主语是A red rose,而不是rather than后的yellow roses,所以谓语动词应该用单数形式,故填acts。
50.答案与解析:Sending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中缺少主语,所以应用v.ing形式作主语,故填Sending。

答案:
Dear Henry,
you're really interested in our Dragon Boat Festival,
I'm writing to tell you about it.This traditional Chinese festival on the fifth day of the lunar month. It is in memory of Qu Yuan, served in high offices in the ancient state of Chu. Qu is famous ancient Chinese poet and rightminded man. To celebrate the festival, we will have a variety of interesting , which include dragon boat races, and eating zongzi and salted duck eggs etc. So I hope you come to join us for the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm sure you will have a experience.
Yours sincerely,

①Known→Knowing。考查非谓语动词。此处表示“我知道”,know与逻辑主语I之间是主谓关系,故用Knowing。
②anything→something。考查代词。此处表示的是“告诉你一些关于端午节的事情”,anything表示“任何事物,任何东西”,不符合语境,故用something。
③fell→falls。考查时态。此处描述的是客观情况——端午节的日期,因此不能用一般过去时,需要用一般现在时。
④five→fifth。考查数词。此处表达的是“农历第五个月的第五天”,因此要用序数词。
⑤which→who。考查关系词。分析句子结构可知,该处引导的是非限制性定语从句,先行词表示人,且关系词在从句中作主语,故只能用who引导该定语从句。
⑥famous前加a。考查冠词。此处表示“屈原是中国古代著名诗人,也是一个正直的人”,此处表示泛指,且famous的发音以辅音音素开头,故要用不定冠词a。
⑦activity→activities。考查名词单复数。此处activity表示“(为兴趣、娱乐或达到一定目的而进行的)活动”,是可数名词,常用复数。根据前面的修饰语“a variety of”和后面的“which include”可知,此处要用名词的复数形式。
⑧make→making。考查非谓语动词。此处和后面的“and
eating...eggs”构成动名词短语,与前面的名词短语“dragon boat races”一起作include的宾语,故用动名词making。
⑨删除join后的in。考查介词。join sb.“与某人一起”,join in sth.“参加……活动”,故此处in多余。
⑩beauty→beautiful。考查词性。此处修饰名词experience,应用形容词作定语。
