His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books.‎ As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.‎ My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. I handed him his glasses and he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks！” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.‎ We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.‎ Graduation day arrived — I saw Kyle and he looked great. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you'll be great！”‎ He looked at me with one of those looks. “Thanks，” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years, your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.”‎ I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”‎ I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.‎ Never underestimate the power of your actions.

A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.‎ Is Shark Diving Dangerous?‎ Yes. You could get sunburn. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack, according to the International Shark Attack File, you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.‎ One Day Cage Diver Adventure —＄875‎ Our expert shark diver team will accompany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary. There, we'll drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view you'll never forget.‎ No dive experience is necessary. Our cages sit just below the surface. You'll be able to breathe comfortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage, taking photos and having fun.‎ Top Shark Adventure —＄375‎ If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away, we offer great topside shark viewing from our observation deck (甲板).

We all know it: a seriouslooking couple in front of their gothicarched wooden house — in a style called Carpenter's Gothic, for which the painting is named.‎ It was painted in 1930, when US artists were inspired to paint realist scenes of rural America during the Depression in a style that became known as Regionalism.‎ The couple are identified either as a farmer and his wife, or as a daughter with her unsmiling and overprotective father. Wood's sister, Nan, who posed for the picture, always insisted the two were father and daughter, perhaps finding the age gap too improper. The relationship has always remained interestingly conflicting.‎ Unlike her elder companion's fixed stare, the woman glances off to the side. Her expression is ‎ actually difficult to determine. She looks sorrowful, or perhaps uncomfortable, though her straitlaced primness (拘谨保守的古板) is weakened by an escaping coil of hair at the back of her neck. As if holding guard against those anticipated intruders (侵入者) —probably, protecting his daughterwife's virtue, though she doesn't seem particularly happy about it — the man holds a pitchfork in a soldierlike fashion. And that is what lends the work its uneasy (不协调的) comedy. Everything about it is an artful setup.‎ First of all, Nan never actually posed with the man in the picture, nor are they in any way related. Wood had spotted the house during a drive to the town of Eldon in Iowa. It immediately gave him an idea. “That idea was to find two people who, by their straitlaced characters, would be suitable for such a home，” he later explained. The couple were actually painted separately, and neither sitter was painted in front of the house. The farmer, as you might have already guessed, isn't actually a farmer, but a certain Dr Bryon McKeeby, a wealthy dentist from Cedar Rapids, where Wood lived with his mother and sister. The couple's clothing too has been carefully handpicked by the artist.‎ In addition, both their faces, Nan's in particular, have been thinned and lengthened, as has the famous gothic window and roof. And, if you look carefully, you might even detect something funereal about the scene, beyond the tombstone features of the couple. It's suggested by the woman's primly buttoned black dress, and in the man's smart black overcoat.‎ Some thought the work mercilessly laughed at the lifestyle in the Midwest. Meanwhile, some critics praised the painting as a cutting smalltown satire (讽刺). Still others saw the painting as honoring the Midwest and its strong values.‎ Regarding the painting's comic tone, Wood himself gave contradictory accounts. “There is satire in it，” he once said, “but only as there is satire in any realistic statement.” Perhaps it is this ambiguity that has made the painting the most symbolic in US history.‎ 语篇解读：本文介绍了格兰特·伍德的油画《美国哥特式》的相关信息以及对画作真相的解释和看法。‎ ‎3．What is uncertain about American Gothic?‎ A．The identity of the models.‎ B．The characters' relationship.‎ C．How the painting got its name.‎ D．Where the background house was.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知，关于《美国哥特式》这幅画不确定的是其中的人物关系。故选项B符合题意。‎ ‎4．What indicates the woman's straitlaced primness?‎ A．Her glancing off to the side.‎ B．Her carefully buttoned black dress.‎ C．The determination in her expression.‎ D．The escaping coil of hair at the back of her neck.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第六段的最后一句可知，这位女士的拘谨的扣上扣子的黑裙子暗示了她的拘谨保守的古板性格。‎ ‎5．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A．Ambiguity is an essential part of any good painting.‎ B．It is beyond doubt that the painting has a comic tone.‎ C．The statement that Wood himself gave clarifies nothing.‎ D．American Gothic is the most controversial in US history.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，伍德自己的陈述模棱两可，没有阐明任何事情。故选项C正确。‎ C ‎(2018·徐州质检)Famous people have a lot of influence on cultural trends, like it or not. However, one trend that seems harmless but is actually damaging, is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with exotic (奇异的) animals. Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals. This makes them easy targets for the often greedy amusement parks and illegal animal centers. Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim (声称) to offer exotic animals safety and are eager to see elephants paint, to hug baby bears or to swim with dolphins. However, it turns out that many of these business persons are breeders (饲养动物者), dealers or exhibitors that are using famous people's goodwill for their own purposes.‎ Many business persons continually keep the animals just so they'll have a constant supply of young animals in order to charge money for photos. Of course, the babies are lovely but they grow fast, and within a few weeks they are too big to handle. They'll spend the rest of their lives, sometimes decades, in small and empty cages or even be killed.‎ In some Asian countries, elephants are kept in camps. A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble, but the vast majority are not, and training methods are barbaric (野蛮的) and cruel. As soon as the cameras are gone after someone like Prince William has a photo taken with an elephant, the chains go back on.‎ Fans, tell the stars: stay away from exotic animal photos, and the animals will be grateful.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章列举名人与奇异动物拍照这一现象可能带来的后果，例如众人争相模仿，这会给饲养动物者带来更多利润，但会导致很多动物陷入困境。因此，作者呼吁明星们不要再与奇异动物拍照。‎ ‎6．What does the author intend to do with this passage?‎ A．To show how stars influence cultural trends.‎ B．To urge governments to look into illegal animal centers.‎ C．To persuade stars not to have photos taken with exotic animals.‎ D．To remind people to think about how to treat wild animals kindly.‎ 解析：选C　写作意图题。根据最后一段及上文的叙述可知，作者通过列举名人与奇异动物合照这一行为给动物造成的危害来说服明星们停止这一行为。故选C。‎ ‎7．According to the passage we can learn that many business persons ________.‎ A．make a great effort to provide safety for animals B．take advantage of stars' good intentions to make profits C．aim to offer good chances for people to get close to animals D．expect there to be little competition as exotic animals are rare 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句及第二段的叙述可知，许多生意人利用明星们的善意来达成自己的目的，借人们与动物合照来谋利。故选B。‎ ‎8．Why do many business persons continually keep young animals?‎ A．They expect to exchange them for money at the market.‎ B．They intend to increase the number of endangered animals.‎ C．They can rescue more animals and get them out of trouble.‎ D．They want to make sure of having enough of them for photos.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知，许多商人这么做是为了能够拥有足够多的动物幼崽以便从人们与动物合照中谋取利益，因为动物幼崽总会长大从而不适合跟人合照。故选D。‎ ‎9．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A．Stars can have photos taken with exotic animals free of charge.‎ B．Many people follow stars and have photos taken with exotic animals.‎ C．Media exposure has failed to have any effect on famous people.‎ D．Stars feel sympathetic and concerned about mistreated animals.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容尤其是第五句可推知，许多人会效仿明星的行为去与奇异动物合照。故选B。‎ D ‎(2018·苏锡常镇四市调研)Are you a different person when you speak a foreign language? That's just one of the questions The New Yorker's writer and native North Carolinian Lauren Collins explores in her autobiography, about her tough efforts to master French after marrying a Frenchman whose name — Olivier — she couldn't even pronounce properly. When in French ranges from the humorously personal story to a deeper look at various theories of ‎ language acquisition and linguistics (语言学)．‎ The couple met in London “on more or less neutral ground: his continent, my language”. But the balance shifted when they moved to Geneva for Olivier's work. The normally voluble Collins found herself at a loss — “nearly speechless”. The language barrier, and her dependence on her husband for simple things like buying the right cut of meat worsened her mixed feelings about “unlovely, but not ridiculous” Geneva. She comments, “Language, as much as land, is a place. To be cut off from it is to be, in a sense, homeless.”‎ Her sense of alienation (疏离感) leads to an examination of America's miserable record when it comes to foreign languages. “Linguists call America ‘the graveyard of languages’ because of its singular ability to take in millions of immigrants and make their native languages die out in a few generations，” Collins writes. Educated in Wilmington, N. C．， and at Princeton, she could — like the vast majority of Americans — only speak their mother tongue.‎ Eight months after she moved to Switzerland, Collins gives up on the natural acquisition of language and finally attends a French course. As she struggles with grammar and vocabulary, Collins notes smartly that vert (green), verre (glass), ver (worm), vers (toward), and vair (squirrel) compose a quintuple homonym (同形异义). “Although it's difficult, French can try，” she says.‎ French is actually considered among the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn, especially compared to Arabic or Mandarin Chinese. Collins, whose notably rich English vocabulary includes glossolalia (nonsense speech) and shibboleth (catchword or slogan), finds plenty of terrific French words to love. She writes, “English is a trust fund, an unearned inheritance (遗产), but I've worked for every bit of French I've banked.”‎ Unlike Jhumpa Lahiri, who became so hooked on Italian and used it to write In Other Words, Collins' goals for learning French were more modest, “I wanted to speak French and to sound like North Carolina.” She also wanted to be able to deal with chimney sweeps and butchers, communicate with her inlaws, and “to touch Olivier in his own language.” She admits that she feels different speaking French, “Its austerity (朴素) made me feel more confused.”‎ Readers looking for the romantic spark of classic crosscultural love stories featuring an outgoing American and a shy Frenchman will find flashes of it here. Among the many cultural differences the couple argue over are her enthusiastic American habit of applying the verb love to express enthusiasm for shoes, strawberries, and husbands alike. But there's far more to Collins' book than fantastic comedy, and those who have weathered linguistic crossings themselves tend to find particular resonance (共鸣) in its inquiry into language, identity, and transcultural translation.‎ Arranged by chapters named for verb tenses, When in French works its way from The Past Perfect (Le plusquepar fait ) to The Present (Le Présent ) and The Conditional (Le Conditionnel). Collins ends on a delightful note with The Futurel (Le Futur) — fitting for a new mother about to move with her hardwon French husband, French language, and Swissborn ‎ daughter to the Frenchspeaking city of her dreams, Paris.‎ 语篇解读：本文是记叙文，介绍一本书，主要说明了主人公学习法语的经历以及关于语言学习的跨文化故事。‎ ‎10．Which of the following statements is TRUE about When in French?‎ A．It describes how most American people learn French.‎ B．It introduces a variety of theories about French learning.‎ C．The author tells her experiences in a serious way.‎ D．The book offers a traditional way of learning a foreign language.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，该书从幽默的个人故事到对语言习得和语言学各种理论做了深入的研究。‎ ‎11．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “voluble” in Paragraph 2?‎ A．Graceful.　　　　　　　　 B．Dependent.‎ C．Talkative.
