(2020·辽宁五校模拟)
Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge
This modern art gallery in a Victorian house was founded in the 1950s by Jim Ede and reopened in February, following a twoyear redevelopment by Jamie Fobert Architects. This means a new cafe, a fourfloor education wing and improved gallery space that can accommodate more visitors. The gallery’s permanent collection includes works of Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
Being Brunel, Bristol
To celebrate the life and work of famous civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Being Brunel opened in March on Bristol’s harbourside. The museum included a range of interactive and entertaining exhibits, including talking portraits of his friends and family and personal possessions, including an 1821 school report. It is a good place for families to strengthen connections.
Royal Academy of Arts, London
The RA reopened on 19 May for its 250th anniversary, following a renovation(翻新) with a gallery and expanded exhibition programme. These will include three galleries, which will host exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art and architecture. The grand facade(正面) of the Burlington Gardens building has also been restored—possibly the first time it’s had a proper clean in its 150year history.
V&A, Dundee
One of the most significant new openings of the year will be Scotland’s first designed museum—and also the first V&A anywhere outside of London—on 15 September. The museum building sits on the River Tay. It will celebrate Scottish designs and objects in its collection.

(2020·山西八校第一次联考)At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, U.S., oldfashioned houses look over the little red barn(畜舍).The farm is mostly empty now.Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County.As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock(FCL) Club, which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life,” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so much to learn.”
6
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a sixhour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet(兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.But as his land gets sold, he doesn’t know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can’t just walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth, 16, of Lexington.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文, 主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活,照顾农场动物的故事。
4.What is the requirement for kids before they get animals?
A.Attend a class.
B.Pay certain money.
C.Have varied skills.
D.Get special club programs.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“must do a sixhour class before they get an animal”可知,得到动物之前,孩子们必须上一节六小时的课程,这个课程可能是培训孩子们如何照顾动物的。
5.What do we know about the club?
A.It offers services unconditionally.
B.It pays for their use of the barn.
C.It lets Mothers care for animals.
D.It allows Mothers to push kids.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Most are driven to the barn by their mothers”可推知,该俱乐部让孩子的妈妈督促孩子参与农场活动,故选D项。
6.How does Carly Playforth feel about the experience?
A.Suspicious. B.Moved.
C.Appreciative. D.Opposed.
6
C 解析:观点态度题。最后一段首句是段落主旨句,作者引用Carly Playforth的话是为了进一步说明因照顾动物而教会孩子们的珍贵东西,比如责任。由此可知, Carly Playforth对这种经历是赞赏的(appreciative)。
7.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Kids’ life on a sold farm.
B.Valuable lessons learned on the farm.
C.A special club intended for Lexington kids.
D.A club activity of caring for farm animals.
D 解析:主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,本文重点介绍的是FCL俱乐部借助一个农场举办的活动——让孩子们亲自照顾动物,在这一过程中,孩子们获益匪浅。故D项概括最为全面。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2020·陕西部分学校摸底检测) Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 1.________
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. 2.________ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 3.________ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
4.________ Help your child write down his goals in an easytofollow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs(梯级). 5.________
A.Change goals every so often.
B.Make a visual goal reminder.
C.Don’t always tell him what you think.
D.He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
6
E.You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F.Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G.When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
【解题导语】 学会制定目标在孩子获得独立上起着重要的作用,本文给出了一些帮助孩子设定目标的建议。
1.E 解析:根据本段标题和空前的“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer”可知,在孩子不知道目标在日常生活中意味着什么时,可以通过运动的例子来解释什么是目标。故选E。
2.C 解析:根据本段标题和空前一句“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.”可知,要倾听孩子,让孩子决定他自己的目标是什么。故C项“不要总是告诉他你的想法”符合语境。
3.G 解析:根据下文的例子“if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal”可知,当孩子的目标实现不了的时候,可以帮助他把目标分解成一些更小的目标来完成。故选G。
4.B 解析:根据空处所在位置及文章结构可知,空处为段落小标题,再结合本段的内容可知,本段主要讲建立一个能够看得到的目标提醒物。故B项符合语境。
5.D 解析:根据空前一句“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs(梯级).”可知,当孩子爬到了顶点,也就接近了目标,故选D。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2020·重庆七校联考)Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on 1.____________(sun) weekends and see rubbish bags lying on the sand, cigarette butts(烟头) 2.____________ (bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.

Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish 5.____________ pretend that it’s not there.
The dogs or the fish are not blame 6.____________ it. It’s our fault and we must blame 7.____________ (we).Everyone has to do his or her part 8.____________(solve) this problem.

6
beaches. We could also form organizations that help clean up our beaches. More 9.____________ (important), we need to start now before the beaches 10.____________(damage) beyond repair.
【解题导语】 本文主要讨论了海滩污染的问题。
1.sunny 解析:考查词形转换。修饰名词一般用形容词,故用形容词sunny修饰其后的名词weekends。
2.buried 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,bury和其逻辑主语cigarette butts 构成动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式作宾语补足语。
3.tourists 解析:考查词形转换。结合定语从句的关系词who可知,此处的先行词为表示人的名词,且定语从句中的谓语动词为复数,故用名词复数形式。
4.where 解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,在从句中作地点状语,修饰先行词the place,故填where。
5.but 解析:考查连词。根据语境可知,空处前后存在逻辑上的转折关系,故用连词but。
6.for 解析:考查介词。此处考查固定词组be to blame for sth.“对某事负有责任”,故用介词for。
7.ourselves 解析:考查代词。与句子主语we呼应,此处应用反身代词ourselves作动词blame的宾语。
8.to solve 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用动词不定式,表目的。
9.importantly 解析:考查副词。副词一般修饰形容词、副词、动词,甚至整个句子,在句子中作状语。故用副词importantly,修饰整个句子。
10.are damaged 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,damage和主语the beaches之间是被动关系,根据该句中的“need”可知,此处叙述一般的情况,故用一般现在时的被动语态。
