[2020·福建三校联考]The things that kids choose to play with can affect our earth. The manufacturing of toys and games can produce harmful pollution and nonbiodegradable waste, which is harmful for our planet. But some toymakers are creating items for kids that aim higher. They use natural or nonharmful materials, and find ways to reuse and recycle. Toys and kits (成套工具) can also teach kids about environmentally friendly solutions. Here are a few of our favorite lowimpact, fun toys.
Test the water
Water is the earth's most precious natural resource. Many people take it for granted, but not everybody in the world has access to clean water.

The kit comes with tools and instructions for conducting eight important experiments including testing the quality of water and making dirty water cleaner. ($15)
Plant tomatoes
When communities in dry, desert regions experience drought, it impacts their agricultural practices. Learn about water preservation and grow delicious cherry tomatoes with Back to the Roots SelfWatering Tomato Planter. It features technology that African desert farmers have been using for thousands of years: a miniature clay pot releases water, but only when the surrounding soil has dried up. ($30)
Draw with veggies
Wee Can Too's Veggie Sidewalk Chalk is made from fruit and vegetable powders — it's practically safe to eat ! The chalk, created using environmentally friendly ingredients, has none of the chemicals found in your typical sidewalk chalk. When

the rain comes and washes away your masterpiece, no harmful pollutants will be entering the environment. ($12)
Create with cardboard

[2020·海南五校一模]A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks (码头) into the ocean.
- 18 -
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “He's going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.
“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help me,” Prather told CBS News.

[2020·重庆一中月考(三)]Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the World Happiness Report 2018 of 156 countries.
The report, released on Wednesday by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of wellbeing: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country's immigrants.
The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place. And last year's winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.
“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries — Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report in 2012”, coeditor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected.”
Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in seventh place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 countries changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico — 24th overall, but 10th in immigration).
“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of the immigrants and the locallyborn,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”
Other major world powers were placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the U.K. was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.
The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before the International Day of Happiness on March 20, when the U.N. declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and wellbeing as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their
- 18 -
recognition in public policy objectives”.
8.Which place did the U.S. rank in the World Happiness Report 2017?
A.14th. B.10th.
C.18th. D.22nd.
9.What is the most significant finding of the report?
A.That immigrants are different from residents in their new countries.
B.That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.
C.That immigrants become happy when they move to other countries.
D.That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.
10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.
B.People's happiness and wellbeing should be considered when it comes to policymaking.
C.The happiness report came under a week before the International Day of Happiness.
D.What the U.N. declared was beneficial to all human beings.
11.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The International Day of Happiness
B.Happiness — Forever Pursuit
C.What's Your Happiness Index (指数)
D.The World Happiness Report 2018

Rich as a King
William Ⅰ, who conquered England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower (割草机). How did he get_by?
History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.
Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you'd think I'd be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of
- 18 -
living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.
There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.
Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.
Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers' fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby. I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.
12.What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Succeed as a king.
B.Deal with complaints.
C.Live in a satisfactory way.
D.Get some extra money.
13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
14.According to the passage, the author intends to ________.
A.tell us to be content with life
B.warn us to live in a simple way
C.teach us to learn lessons from life
D.encourage us to struggle for wealth
15.What's the author's attitude towards life?
A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.
C.Uncaring. D.Cautious.

阅读理解
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇广告类应用文,主要介绍了四种环保的儿童玩具,包括玩具名称、设计特点、材料来源以及价格等。
1.D 考查推理判断。根据第三段尾句“It features technology that African desert farmers have been using for thousands of years: a miniature clay pot releases water, but only when the surrounding soil has dried up”可知,该玩具的特点是使用了非洲沙漠地区的农民已经使用了数千年的技术:当周围的土壤干涸时,微型陶罐才可以释放水。据此可推知,这种玩具的特点是使用了抗旱技术,故D项正确。
2.A 考查细节理解。根据尾段的内容,尤其是最后一句“Now let your imagination go wild!” 可知,Cardboard Tool Kit可以充分发挥人的想象力,故A项正确。
3.B 考查细节理解。根据第一段第四、五句“They use natural or nonharmful materials, and find ways to reuse and recycle. Toys and kits (成套工具) can also teach kids about environmentally friendly solutions”,并结合四种玩具的特点介绍可知,这四种玩具的共同点是环保,故B项正确。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。一个离家出走的少年捡到一个钱包并因此陷入困境,素不相识的酒吧老板的帮助使他走上了新的生活轨道。
4.C 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket”,由此可知Gilleece查看视频发现有个少年在这位女士坐过的长凳上捡到这个钱包,所以这位女士是在等车的时候把钱包落在了长凳上,因此选C。
5.A 考查推理判断。根据第三段可知,警方希望Gilleece能把少年带去警局,但是Gilleece给警方打电话说“他明天会和我一起去码头”,再根据第四段可知,Gilleece请的两名潜水员在Prather扔掉钱包的水域寻找,由此推断,他带Prather去码头的目的是找到被Prather扔掉的戒指。
6.D 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Gilleece told the teen he could stay with
- 18 -
him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar”,即Gilleece告诉Prather可以到自己家里住宿,直到他能够自立,并让他在自己的酒吧里工作,由此可知选D。
7.B 考查主旨大意。本文讲述了一个少年捡到钱包并因此陷入困境,酒吧老板帮助该少年脱离困境开始新生活的故事,因此B项最适合作本文的标题。
【语篇解读】 2018年《世界幸福报告》基于六项不同类别的幸福因素对世界各国的幸福指数进行了排名,而且还特别关注了移民的幸福指数,其中芬兰的幸福指数最高。
8.A 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place.”可知,在2018年的世界幸福指数排名中,美国排在第18位,比2017年的排名下降了4位,这说明2017年美国排在第14位。故选A项。
9.D 考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of the immigrants and the locallyborn”可知,这份报告中最明显的发现是,移民的幸福指数和当地人的幸福指数相似。故选D项。
10.B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”可推知,制定公共政策要考虑到人的幸福。故选B项。
11.D 考查主旨大意。根据第一段“Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the World Happiness Report 2018 of 156 countries.”及后文可知,本文通篇都在讨论2018年《世界幸福报告》。故选D项。
12.C 考查词义猜测。根据第三段第一句“Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you'd think I'd be content”,并结合对第一段第二句的理解可推知,没有现代这些便利的生活设备,富有的威廉一世如何才能生活得称心如意呢?由此可推知,画线短语表示“以一种令人满意的方式生活”,故选C。
13.B 考查细节理解。根据对第一段和第二段的理解可知,古今生活对比中作者列举了四个历史人物,他们分别是: William Ⅰ, Croesus, Alexander the Great和Czar Nicholas。
14.A 考查主旨大意。根据文章的标题Rich as a King,并结合对全文的整体理解可推知,作者通过古今生活对比,告诉我们要知足常乐。
15.B 考查推理判断。根据最后两段,尤其是最后一段最后两句“I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait”可推知,作者对生活持乐观的态度。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,“我”在暴风雨来临前驾车前往市区购物,暴风雨来临时,一位年轻人邀请“我”到他家躲避,并用毯子盖好“我”的车,使“我”的车免受冰雹的损害。为了感谢他的善良,“我”为他找了一份工作。
1.A 根据空前“However, as I left the supermarket and drove back, the weather
- 18 -
took a turn for the worse”可知,当“我”离开超市开车回去时,天气变得更糟了;根据空后“I had nowhere to go”可知,“我”无处可去。据此可推知,空处应是说天气变得更糟后的状况,故A项符合语境。
2.D 根据空前“He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway”可知,正当“我”在暴风雨中被迫停车时,一位年轻人向“我”挥手,让“我”将车停在他的车道里。据此可推知,“我”很感谢他让“我”免遭暴风雨,故D项与此处匹配。
3.G 根据空前“I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car, as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail (冰雹). Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car”可知,“我”告诉Trent“我”担心冰雹会砸坏“我”的车,他便从车库里拿了条毯子盖住“我”的车;结合常识和语境可推知,他全身湿透,但是并不介意,故G项符合语境。
4.F 根据空前“By 11:00 a.m., the electricity and phone services had both gone”可知,上午十一点时,电力和电话服务都中断了;据此可推知,“我”无法联系上父母,尽管“我”知道他们很担心我,故F项符合语境。
5.B 根据空前“When the hail stopped, I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye”可知,冰雹停了,“我”和Trent握手,和Kayti吻别;结合上文叙述的Trent对“我”的帮助可推知,“我”对他们的帮助表示感谢,这对夫妻非常谦逊,故B项符合语境。

14.B 根据设空处后的“donations of $18 to purchase a shirt”可知,在筹款的视频中,小女孩应该是请求大家捐款。request意为“请求”,符合语境,故选B项。
15.C 根据下文中的“Sophia raised $12,812”可知,该筹款视频应是分享在社交媒体上。share意为“分享”,符合语境,故选C项。
16.C 根据“In about three weeks, Sophia raised $12,812”可知,在大约三周的时间里,索菲娅筹集了12,812美元,足以支付700多件衬衫。cover意为“足以支付”,此处是钱作主语,符合语境。
17.A 根据空后的“chemotherapy treatment”可知,索菲娅穿衬衫是为了接受化疗,介词for表示目的,意为“为了”,符合语境,故选A项。
18.A 根据第三段第一句中的“Since Sophia began receiving treatment in
- 18 -
March”可知,索菲娅的化疗是三月份开始的,因此此处的六月是结束时间。finish意为“完成,结束”,符合语境。
19.C 此处表示:她的勇敢、坚定的信念和无私精神鼓舞着我们所有人。be an inspiration to sb.为固定搭配,意为“给某人以鼓舞”。inspiration意为“灵感;鼓舞”,符合语境,故选C项。
20.B 索菲娅看到别人没有化疗衫,于是积极为他们筹钱购买,由此可看出她是一个无私的人。selflessness意为“无私”,符合语境,故选B项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。如今,随着信息技术的发展,年轻人最理想的职业是“网红”。其实,他们忽视了这样一个事实:在“网红”成功的背后,更多的是没有成功的人。
1.differently 考查副词。空处修饰动词“stand”,故用副词形式。
2.aged 考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,动词age和其逻辑主语“young people”之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式作后置定语。
3.careers 考查名词的数。career为可数名词,且结合该句中的“a list of”可知,此处表示多种职业,故用career的复数形式careers。
4.easier 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的“and more convenient”可知,空处与之并列,也用比较级。
5.were made 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“In the past”可知,此处描述发生在过去的事,故用一般过去时;根据该句中的“by the Hollywood studios”可知,该句主语the biggest stars和动词make之间为被动关系,故用被动语态;且主语为复数形式,故用were made。
6.an 考查冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一位来自英国的专家”,故用不定冠词;且expert的发音以元音音素开头,故用an。
7.is 考查主谓一致和时态。分析句子结构可知,该句主语为“what people see”,是what引导的主语从句,故谓语动词用单数;该句意为:然而,人们所看到的仅是视频博主光鲜的一面,忽视了只有那些成功者才能得到名气和财富这一事实。根据句意可知,该句陈述的是一般事实,故用一般现在时,故填is。
8.that 考查同位语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导同位语从句,说明抽象名词“fact”的具体内容,故用that引导该同位语从句。
9.for 考查介词。“实际上,对于每个成功者而言,有上百名其他人还从未起步”。根据语境可知,此处应用介词for“对……来说”。
10.preference 考查名词。分析该句结构可知,空处作及物动词show的宾语,故用名词形式。该句意为:这就是一些年轻人仍然喜欢传统工作的原因。

第一节 短文改错
Recently, my mother was always busy she only made a small sandwich for my lunch that day. to school, I saw our old who didn't have breakfast. Without hesitation, I offered the sandwich him, which he gladly accepted. From this experience, I realize that when we , even when we don't have much, we are sharing something than it is. When I told Mom what did, she praised me and encouraged me to keep going. Now, with loving care, Mom prepares a nutritious lunch for me to take to school each morning., she prepares some extra food so that I can share with is in need along the way.
①but改为so 由句意可知,“由于我妈妈最近很忙,那天她仅仅给我准备了一小份三明治作为午餐”,此处是因果关系,因此用so。
②Get改为Getting 此处指“到达学校时,我看到了我们年迈的门卫”,get与I是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作时间状语。
③gatekeepers改为gatekeeper 根据下文的“him”和“he”可知,此处指的是一个门卫,故用名词单数。
④him前加to offer sth. to sb.表示“提供某物给某人”。
⑤shared改为share 依据句意和句中的“realize”“don't”“are”可知,此处用一般现在时。
⑥great改为greater 根据比较级标志词“than”可知,此处用great的比较级形式。
⑦she改为I 根据上文内容和句子逻辑关系可知,此处表示“我告诉妈妈我做了什么”,故用I。
⑧删除loving前的a care作“照料,照顾”讲时是不可数名词,故删除a。
⑨Additional改为Additionally 此处表示“此外”,作状语,要用副词。
⑩whomever改为whoever 分析句子结构可知,with后接一个名词性从句,连接代词在从句中作主语,且表示“……的任何人”,故要用whoever。注意:whomever在从句中不能作主语。
