Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year. Before going to the U．S., actually, I had no idea what to expect about its weather, but the big rain on my arrival gave me the first expectation of what the weather here might be like.‎ California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. __3__ However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climates in California.‎ ‎__4__ Most of the time I was living in Silicon Valley, where the weather is a bit colder than where I study in Orange County. But I was really surprised to find chilltothebone weather in San Francisco — a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour's drive. How strange!‎ ‎__5__ The worst is that I get a runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weather, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold. I think that my body needs more time to get used to this climate, but as many people said, I am luckier to be in California where I don't have to fight with extreme weather as in other states.‎ A．I am sensitive to weather change.‎ B．Such strange weather has affected my health.‎ C．So the amount of rain this year is considered unusual.‎ D．The LAX airport in California welcomed me with a big rain.‎ E．So I quickly get used to the unchangeable climate in California.‎ F．The weather varies widely depending on where you are in the States.‎ G．Since then, I have discovered tons of dilemmas about life in America.‎ ‎1．选G　上文提到作者到了美国，接下来说“下面是我在美国接近一年的时间里努力应付过的诸多难题中的一个”。由此可以推断，空处表达的应该是作者经历了很多困难，G项的意思是“从那时起，我在美国经历了很多生活难题”，所以选G。‎ ‎2．选D　根据下文中的“My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America.”可知，空处应与rain有关，D项“加利福尼亚的LAX机场用一场大雨欢迎了我”符合语境，所以选D。本段最后一句也是提示。‎ ‎3．选C　上一段讲的是加利福尼亚的大雨，本段首句讲的是“加利福尼亚因气候好而著名”，C项的意思是“因此今年的雨量被认为是不寻常的”，符合段落间以及句子间的逻辑，所以选C。‎ ‎4．选F　下文讲的是美国不同的地方有着迥异的天气，即便是相隔很近的两个地方，其天气也有很大的变化，而F项的意思是“在美国，天气随着你所在的地方而有很大的差异”，所以选F。‎ ‎5．选B　下文讲的是作者因为天气多变而打喷嚏，而B项的意思是“这种奇怪的天气已经影响到了我的健康”，所以选B。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎(2019·福州质检) No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book ‎ clubs. Yet __1__ (publisher) and bookstores report that more and more people throughout the United States are joining __2__ (they)．‎ Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people __3__ live near each other. Some Americans belong to reading groups on __4__ Internet. These groups include people around the world who communicate about books they read. They send electronic mails instead of gathering __5__ (discuss) books.‎ Most reading groups study books by __6__ (variety) writers. However, some groups read the work of a single writer, __7__(usual) one that has been famous for a while. Other groups may __8__(name) for an important person in the work of a writer, __9__ a Sherlock Holmes Club. Members of these book clubs often are experts on their __10__ (choose) reading materials. One member of a Holmes reading group, for example, can identify almost every person in every Sherlock Holmes story.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国越来越多的人加入读书俱乐部以及读书俱乐部的运作方式、命名方式等。‎ ‎1．publishers　考查名词复数。此处与and后面的bookstores一起构成并列主语，publisher为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故填publishers。‎ ‎2．them　考查代词。join表示“成为……的一员，加入”，是及物动词，后面应跟宾语，故填they的宾格形式them。‎ ‎3．who/that　考查定语从句。先行词是people，空处在从句中作主语，故填who/that。‎ ‎4．the　考查冠词。on the Internet“在网上”，为固定搭配。‎ ‎5．to discuss　考查非谓语动词。他们发送电子邮件而不是聚集起来讨论他们读过的书。此处动词不定式作目的状语。‎ ‎6．various　考查形容词。大部分读书俱乐部研究不同作家的书。空后的writers为名词，应该用形容词来修饰，variety的形容词形式为various，故填various。‎ ‎7．usually　考查副词。空后的“one that has been famous for a while”是空前writer的同位语。usually起强调作用，修饰代词one。‎ ‎8．be named　考查被动语态。此处name是动词，意为“命名”，在句中作谓语，与主语“Other groups”之间为被动关系，且空前有情态动词，故填be named。‎ ‎9．like　考查介词。其他的俱乐部可能以一个作家的作品里的一个重要人物而命名，比如夏洛克·福尔摩斯俱乐部。空后为举例子，故填like“像，例如”。‎ ‎10．chosen　考查非谓语动词。这些读书俱乐部的成员通常是他们选中的阅读材料方面的专家。提示词choose是动词，与其所修饰的名词短语“reading materials”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用choose的过去分词作定语，故填chosen。‎ Ⅳ.概要写作 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。‎ Recently, a professor of philosophy (哲学) in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think, and from it we can see what one really values in life.‎ ‎ He says our relations with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him thoroughly only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.‎ ‎ Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book with the question “What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a selfmade man？” And the answer goes like this：The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.‎ ‎ People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor has uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.‎ 参考范文：‎ A US professor's found how one treats money daily is more meaningful and it can reflect what one treasures in life. (要点1) He claims money matters in defining relationships and it's a good way to test friendship. (要点2) Money is generally considered important to us, so are rich people; but some millionaires don't feel so, thinking being rich isn't worth so much attention. (要点3) Therefore, we should realize that money is just a tool, not the goal of life, and it's never equal to happiness. (要点4)‎
