【题目】 The old saying still rings true: “【1】Though having friends and family at your house may be fun at first, it can quickly sour once they've worn out their welcome. Your desire to have your living space all to yourself again and get back into your normal routine is perfectly reasonable. So how do you mention this uncomfortable situation without being rude?
【2】Having a house guest can be a positive experience for all involved, if both are considerate. That means, hopefully, you and your house guests will agree upon the dates and duration of their visit and other relevant details before their arrival.
If it's too late for that, start dropping hints now. 【3】For example, you can say, “It has been so lovely having you stay with us.” If your guests don't seem to be getting the message, a little white lie may be necessary.
Next time, set clearer boundaries from the start. That means your house guests should ask for permission to stay with you, not just assume they can. Make it clear that you need advanced notice, too—no last-minute surprise visits. 【4】
During a visit, encourage house guests to do some stuff on their own. Let them know they're welcome to grab a snack when they're hungry. 【5】It empowers them to be self-sufficient—and you get a breather, too.
A.They are not paying for the room
B.Hopefully, your guests will understand
C.Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days
D.Ideally, settle the details before not during the visit
E.And if the dates they suggest don't work for you, say no
F.Establish healthy boundaries with loved ones is essential
G.Make themselves a cup of coffee or leave the house when they please
【答案】
【1】C
【2】D
【3】B
【4】E
【5】G
【解析】
本文是说明文。客人在你家里呆的时间长了，会影响你的生活。文章告诉我们几个方法，可以帮助你应对这种不舒服的情况而又不失礼貌。
【1】空前一句有the old saying，设空处是冒号，因此可以推测设空处是一句俗语；空格后提到“虽然朋友和家人在你家里可能一开始很有趣，但一旦他们不受欢迎了，就会很快变味”；选项C意思为“客人就像鱼，过了三天就开始发臭”，是一句俗语；空后一句中的sour与选项C中的smell是同义词复现。故选C项。
【2】设空处位于段首，是该段的总起句。选项D意思为“理想的情况是，在拜访之前解决细节问题，而不是在拜访期间”。该段最后一句中“…agree upon the dates and duration of their visit and other relevant details before their arrival”，和选项D意思相同，是对选项D的具体解释。故选D项。
【3】空前一句说“如果为时已晚，开始给点暗示”；选项B意思为“希望你的客人能理解”，是顺承上一句的意思；空后的“If your guests don’t seem to be getting the message”和选项B “your guests will understand”是反义句复现。故选B项。
【4】空前一句提到“明确表示你需要提前通知，不要在最后一刻突然造访”；选项E意思为“如果他们建议的日期不适合你，那就拒绝”，是顺承上一句的话题。故选E项。
【5】该段首句提到“在拜访期间，鼓励客人自己做一些事情”，是该段主题句，接着举出具体的客人自己动手做事情的例子；选项G意思为“给自己弄杯咖啡，或者让他们高兴时离开家”，也是客人自己动手做事情的例子，顺承上一句的话题。故选G项。

【题目】 Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth（灰蛾）is an example of the natural selection process.
In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend（融合）into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.
At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot（烟煤）and became darker. The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.
In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.
【1】In 19th century, what was one of the causes of great changes in Great Britain?
A.The surroundings.B.The Industrial Revolution.
C.The natural selection.D.The peppered moth.
【2】What can we infer about the peppered moth’s natural selection process?
A.The length of time was unusual.
B.The soot levels in England did not affect it.
C.The color of peppered moths changed at random.
D.It was a good example of environmental protection.
【3】What’s the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths?
A.Dark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.
B.Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.
C.Birds failed to see light-colored moths.
D.The color of moths was unimportant.
【4】Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?
A.Birds would eat fewer moths.
B.Moths would not be able to stay alive.
C.Light-colored moths would disturb people’s life.
D.The population of dark-colored moths would increase.

【题目】 It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son.

Childhood is an unforgettable time full of funny and amazed stories. Be a child, I wrote my last will. All my toys are to go to our cat, my room—to Tom, the local beggar who always said “hi" to me kind. My textbook about politeness was to go to my brother, so we had had a fight not long before. I brought the list to my aunt, who was the lawyer. She sent copy of my list to all our relatives and then put the original on her desk in to a frame. That way, I laughed at by not only my family but all my customers.

【题目】 If you’ve never heard of eight-year-old Gavin Thomas, you clearly aren’t one of the millions of people around the world who have fallen in love with the young internet sensation (网红) .
But it isn’t in his native United States that Gavin has really hit the big time, the honor belongs to China. Since creating a profile a mere four months ago on Weibo, Gavin has gained an astonishing 1.8 million followers - and the number continues to grow, along with his fame. On Twitter, by comparison, Gavin has a mere 450,000 followers.
Why is a young American, born in Minnesota and still in elementary school, an instant sensation in the largest country in the world? It’s because of Gavin’s unique facial expressions, which have become a hugely successful viral meme (模仿传递行为) . Gavin first made a name for himself in the US, when short videos of him playing with his uncle Nick Mastodon quickly became a hit online. But it wasn’t until Gavin’s videos spread gradually to the Chinese cyberspace, particularly one of his reacting with a nervous smile to a gecko (壁虎) being placed on his head, that his fame truly took off. A picture of Gavin’s face, smiling awkwardly, might be used as many as 10 million times a day across China’s various social media platforms, according to Ann Ding, founder and CEO of Dongtu.com, a major distributor of online gifts, told CNN. Ding said Gavin seemed to be more popular in China than in the US. She estimated that all of the total number of Gavin related pictures used across platforms in China has easily exceeded 1 billion. His appearance on Weibo was widely reported by Chinese state media, and his first trip to China in August made headlines across the country.
【1】Where is Gavin more popular?
A.In the USA.B.In the Europe.
C.All over the world.D.In China.
【2】Gavin Thomas has so many followers because of his ________.
A.unique facial expressionsB.great contribution to China

【4】Which of the following statements is true?
A.He has never come to China but well-known here.
B.He earned followers not only from the USA but also from China.
C.He became famous when reacting to a gecko placed on his head.
D.Gavin now works in major Chinese social media platforms.
