I knew no one and was feeling lonely. I wanted to make new friends very much. Day after day, I saw groups of cyclists riding throughout the community and beyond the gates. Dressed in black riding shorts, brightly colored biking shirts, gloves and helmets, they appeared to be having a great time together. I looked longingly at them as they rode in pace lines of eight to twelve riders. I knew how to ride a bike, but couldn't imagine myself ever accomplishing the level of riding I saw. One day I read an article in the community newspaper inviting those who are interested in biking to join a beginner's cycling group. It is not like me to join something where I know no one, but I pushed myself to attend an organizational meeting. I immediately began chatting with two women and we agreed on our first group ride taking place later in the week. Twelve men and women ventured out on our first eight-mile ride. We slowly rode in a long line through the quiet streets of our community. We began to meet three times a week, and steadily increased our distance and speed. Stopping for food became the rule and we soon adopted our slogan, "We bike for food." As we sat chatting over coffee, strong friendships began to form. Many of us found we had other interest in common and began exploring it together. All of these new friendships were made possible by taking that first step outside my comfort zone. Now I ride 100 miles a week, have improved my health, and have more friends than I ever imagined. Taking that first step and trying something new opened up a whole new world of fun and friendships for me. 4. Why did the author feel lonely in the Southern adult community? A.

One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world's largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed "the lungs of our planet", it generates about one-fifth of Earth's oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in dange. Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the "most intense" in almost a decade, according to BBC News. The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported. Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land, reported CNN. The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest's capacity （能力） to absorb carbon is reduced. Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he's worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a "tipping point （临界点）where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah （大草原）. Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed. The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a donation fund to help deal with the crisis. The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation （保护）."Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this," commented Gizmodo. 8. The underlined word "intense" in Para.2 probably means _______. A. natural B. fierce C. common D. unexpected 9. What is the main cause of forest fires in the Amazon rainforest this year? A. Lightning strikes. B. Hot weather. C. Agricultural activities. D. Garbage left by tourists. 10. What was Nobre worried about in the article? A. Global temperatures will rise. B. The Amazon rainforest is close to disappearing. C. Animals in the Amazon rainforest are under threat. D. It will take decades for the Amazon rainforest to recover. 11. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A. What the Brazilian government has done to fight fires. B. Celebrities who care about rainforest preservation. C. The possible future of the Amazon rainforest. D. Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforest. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。世界上最大的雨林——亚马逊雨林，也是数百万动植物的家园，它被称为“地 球的肺”，然而，这个奇妙的自然奇观目前正处于危险之中。火灾，危及大片雨林。 【8 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文 These blazes have lasted several weeks 可知，这些大火持续了几 周，时间过长，在这十年内，应该是 “最凶猛的”。故选 B。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land 可知， 今年大部分火灾被认为是由农民引起的，他们把火作为热带农业的传统来清洁土地。故选 C。 【10 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六、七段 Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he's worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a “tipping point （临界点）” where the thick jungle will turn into a tropicalsavannah（大草原）.”可知，卡洛斯·诺布雷担心如果超过 20%的生态系统被破坏， 亚马逊雨林可能会达到一个“临界点”，茂密的丛林将变成热带大草原。所以他是担心雨林会 灭绝，故选 B。 【11 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后两段中描述 government，manypeople，thepublic 所做 贡献，可知， 这都是为了保护雨林做的努力。故选 D。 D Many small-business owners watched recent revelations about Facebook with mixed emotions. Like most Americans, they were surprised to discover how much information the social media giant collected on its users. But when it comes to small business, Facebook is a transformative advertising platform for small businesses, not easy to replace. Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster （牡蛎）nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and ifs hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out （and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights）. And you can do this for as little as S20. In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify （证明合理）the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded. "Our primary concern was people's experience on Facebook," said Dan Levy, Facebook's Vice President. "Our teams have also been speaking to small businesses, and they want to make sure we're addressing the situation, and we are." 的 One concern small businesses want Facebook to address is protecting their uploaded lists. No one wants their customers' information misused or accessed by others, especially competitors. Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer lists to be let out to others. But small businesses don't want to lose this effective advertising medium, either. Most Facebook ads are not invasive or offensive. And many receivers may actually benefit from receiving highly targeted ads—after all, those oyster lovers like learning about Tuesday night— $1 oyster night. 12. How does the author explain Facebook's function in Paragraph 2? A. By performing an experiment. B. By leading a survey・ C. By analyzing the data・ D. By giving an example. 13. What is the author's attitude towards Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful D. Respectful. 14. What makes small businesses concerned about Facebook according to the text? A. What people experience on Facebook. B. That Facebook updates the lists constantly. C That their competitors benefit more from Facebook. D. That Facebook will give away their customer lists. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. Facebook is benefiting small businesses B. Facebook, a mixed bag for small businesses C. Facebook is protecting customers5 privacy D. Facebook, a powerful advertisement tool 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文。Facebook 是小企业广告的有效工具，但是它也存在一些弊端如泄露顾客 . 的私人信息等等，让小企业对它爱恨交加。 【12 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster(牡蛎) nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and it's hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out (and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights). And you can do this for as little as $ 20.可知，作者是通过举例子的方式来释 Facebook 的功能。故选 D。 【13 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify(证明…合理) the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded. 作者对 于 Facebook 极尽赞美但是又指出它的弊端，由此可推断，作者的态度是客观公正的。故选 A。 【14 题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer list to be let out to others.可知，小企业担心 Facebook 会泄露客户的隐私。故选 D。 【15 题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述小企业主对 Facebook 复杂的情绪，D 项“Facebook, a mixed bag for small business”是本文最好的标题。故选 B。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese culture values family bonds very much.

I've received your letter ask me to give you some advice on how to learn English well. Here are some of my suggestions. First of all, I suggest you should read English word, sentences and short articles aloud every morning. Meanwhile, you should try to memorize the useful sentences as much as possible and recite some short passages as well. Moreover, it suggested that you read a great variety of books after school. Last but not least, a certain amount of time should be spent about listening exercises. As long as you can make good use of our spare time to learn English, surely, you will make rapid progress. Just as an old saying go, “Where there is a will, and there is a way.” If you stick to your dream and study hard, I'm sure you will become successfully in your English study. Yours, Li Hua 【答案】1.将 a 改为 an 2.将 ask 改为 asking 3.将 word 改为 words 4.将 much 改为 many 5.在 suggested 前加上 is 6.将 about 改为 on 7.将 our 改为 your 8.将 go 改为 goes 9.将 and 去掉 10.将 successfully 改为 successful 【解析】 【分析】 这是一封建议信。英语角的编辑李华回复小明关于怎么学好英语的一些建议。 【详解】1.考查冠词。句中 editor 是元音开头的单词，要用 an 来限定，故将 a 改为 an。 2. 考查非谓语动词。句中 ask 作 letter 的后置定语，且 ask 与 letter 之间构成主谓关系， 要用现在分词形式，故将 ask 改为 asking。 3．考查名词。句意表达的是泛指，要用可数名词的复数形式，故将 word 改为 words。 4．考查形容词。句中修饰的是可数名词复数 sentences，要用 many 来修饰，故将 much 改为 many。 5．考查语态。句中 suggest 与主语 it 之间构成动宾关系，要用被动语态，时态是一般现在 时，故在 suggested 前加 is。 6．考查介词。分析句子结构可知，句子主语是 time，谓语是 should be spent，宾语是 listening exercises，这里是花费时间在听力练习上面，应该用介词 on，故将 about 改为 on。 7．考查代词。根据后面常用短语 spare time“空余时间”，这里是指你的空余时间，故要把 形容词性物主代词 our 改为 your。故将 our 改为 your。 8．考查主谓一致。句中的主语 an old saying 是单数，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故 将 go 改为 goes。 9．考查连词。句中 where 引导地点状语从句，主句不能再用连词。故将 and 去掉。 10．考查副词。在句中 become 是系动词，后接形容词做表语，successfully 是副词，故将 successfully 改为 successful。 【点睛】这是一封书信，讲述了如何学好英语的问题：首先，要多读多背；其次要多扩大阅 读量；还有多听。只要善于利用空余时间，一定可以学好，因为有志者事竟成。 短文改错题考查的是语境理解能力和用法基础知识。常考的知识点有：名词（单复数错误）， 动词（时态，语态，搭配，转换），代词（指代错误），形容词和副词（转换，比较等级），连 词（and，but，or）等。偶尔也会考查代词词类错误，如第 7 题本来用 your，却用了 our 等 等。解题是要注意：以句子为单位，以动词为中心；看句子要看完整，避免句子前后矛盾的 错误；找错误要以动词为主，动词或与动词有关的错误占了改错的题的重要一部分。 第二节 书面表达（满分 25 分） 52.假定你是李华，你的朋友 Peter 想了解你校于十二月举办的中国传统文化艺术节。请你给 Peter 写封回信，内容包括： 1.举办艺术节的目的； 2.介绍你最喜欢的一个艺术节活动； 3.邀请 Peter 参加并告之艺术节活动的时间。 注意：1.词数 100 左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter， Having known that you are interested in our school art festival about traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to offer you some detailed information.
