【题目】阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When a special occasion arrives, a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep, an office desk or a mailbox. But once in a while, a present arrives at an unexpected moment to remind us that someone is thinking about us.
Wanda Anderson of Richland, US, remembers such a gift.
The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that day in spring.
Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories. To this young girl, those flowers were extra special. “We never had money to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.
Nowadays, to have a garden filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment. Wanda especially loves the very first blooms.
Her husband, Dale, devotedly takes care of the roses and knows this little fact about his wife. So, on this special morning, he picked the very first flowers of spring, fresh from the garden. But as Dale came back into the house, he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale handed the roses to her. And even though their visitor insisted she didn’t want to take them, she was repeatedly told that the flowers were hers to keep.
“I told her I was happy for her to have the roses, but I really wasn’t,” Wanda said, remembering the emotions she was feeling right then.
Seeing her very precious first blooms go out the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness.
Throughout the rest of the morning, Wanda argued with herself, knowing it was “better to give than to receive.” Nevertheless, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.
Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car. Then, without warning, an older woman suddenly appeared at the car’s open window, with a bunch of roses in her arms.
“These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.”
Totally surprised, Wanda thanked the woman and took a moment to smell the roses’ rich fragrance. When she looked up, the mysterious visitor was gone.
To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda. Now, her very first blooms always go to someone else, as a reminder that someone is thinking of them.

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Wanda 非常喜欢玫瑰，如今她拥有一个满是不同玫瑰的花园。某一天她的丈夫Dale送给了邻居一朵玫瑰，结果Wanda却从陌生人那里得到了玫瑰。并由此改变了Wanda对于送出礼物的看法。
【1】细节理解题。根据第三段中Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories.可知看到玫瑰总能唤起旺达对童年的回忆。以及“We never had money to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.可知Wanda说:“我们从来没有钱买额外的东西，所以即使是一朵蔫儿了的玫瑰也值得珍惜。”由此可知，Wanda喜欢玫瑰是因为玫瑰唤起了她童年的回忆，那时她买不起。故答Roses bring her childhood memories and at that time she couldn’t afford them.
【2】词义猜测题。根据后文takes care of the roses and knows this little fact about his wife.可知Wanda的丈夫Dale很了解妻子特别喜欢初开的花朵的这一点，所以专心地照料着这些玫瑰。由此可知，划线单词意思为“专心地”。故答Dedicatedly。
【3】细节理解题。根据倒数第六段Seeing her very precious first blooms go out the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness.可知看着她那弥足珍贵的第一茬花走出家门，她心里充满了遗憾和一丝自私。由此可知，邻居离开后，Wanda感到遗憾和不安。故答She felt regret and upset.
【4】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.“这些是给你的，”她说，把花给了旺达。“它们是我今年春天的第一茬花。最后一段To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda.可知直到今天，这一“特别的快递”改变了Wanda。由此可知，从一个陌生人那里收到玫瑰，改变了Wanda对送出礼物的看法。故答The roses she received from a stranger.
【5】本题为开放题，言之有理即可。例如，可以说“我赞成这句话。因为给予往往会带来内心的富足，而不是物质上的东西”。故答I’m in favor of the saying. Because giving often leads to inner abundance rather than material things.

【题目】 With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama’s(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.
All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.
This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
【1】What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?
A.Many students are absent from class.
B.Students are very tired on Monday mornings.
C.Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.
D.Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.
【2】Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
A.Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.
B.Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.
C.One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.
D.Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.
【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?
A.CriticizedB.GroupedC.OrganizedD.Named
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Functions of the body clock.
B.The “night owl” phenomenon.
C.Human beings’ sleep behaviour.
D.The school schedule of “early birds”.

【题目】 Record fires sweeping across the Amazon recently have been making the headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change crisis and endanger biodiversity(生物多样性）。
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called"the lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million local people. The vast area of rainforest plays an important role in the world's ecosystem because it absorbs heat instead of reflecting heat back into the atmosphere. It also stores carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, reducing the effects of climate change.
＂Any forest destroyed is a danger to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity," Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic."The great danger is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,"he stressed."In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected,"UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research(INPE)show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August a year ago.A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first 8 months of 2019,up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,INPE said.＂We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months," Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest,whose degradation(恶化）could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall.The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has gone beyond Brazil's borders.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The great role of the Amazon rainforest.
B.The effects of consistent climate change.
C.The causes of the decreasing biodiversity.
D.The results of the Amazon rainforest fires.
【2】Why does the author mention the figures in the fourth paragraph?
A.To explain the process of the research.
B.To present the bad influence of forest fires.
C.To prove the great importance of the rainforest.
D.To show the emergency of protecting the rainforest.
【3】What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A.The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
B.The biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.
C.The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
D.The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
【4】Which section of a magazine might this passage probably be taken from?
A.Climate and life.
B.Nature and geography.
C.Humankind and society.
D.Science and technology.

【题目】 I work at a company where there are lots of employees. I can’t say that I know them all by name, but I know my fair share of them. I think that almost all of them know me. It is all based on one simple principle: I believe that every single person deserves to be acknowledged, even though it is only a smile or a nod of the head.
When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I was busy throwing stones at the stop sign. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any old time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wave its tail when it passes you on the street.” That phrase sounds simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.
At work, I always used to say hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. I’ve become vice president, but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. You will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, “Hello.” I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “acknowledged” in Paragraph 1?
A.Accepted.B.Thanked.
C.Greeted.D.Respected.
【2】Why did the author ignore Mr. Lee?
A.The author often met him.B.The author was too busy.
C.The author didn’t like him.D.The author didn’t know him.
【3】What did the author learn from his mother?
A.Everyone should be treated fairly.B.Speak to everyone you see.
C.Polite behavior is important in your life.D.Friends may disappear from your life any time.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To show respect for his mother.B.To share how to succeed in work.
C.To show how to approach others.D.To share an important principle.
