The Five Best Countries To Move To For Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员) to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U.S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa.
Ecuador
Lazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.
1. What do Costa Rica and Malaysia have in common
A. Convenient shopping. B. Relatively low living cost.
C. Various cultural activities. D. Simple immigration procedures.
2. Which country’s location specially attracts retirees from the U.S.
A. Malaysia’s. B. Mexico’s.
C. Panama’s. D. Ecuador’s.
3. What is the main reason for retirees to choose Panama
A Beautiful beaches. B. A booming economy.
C. A pleasant climate. D. Discounts for retirees.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了五个最适合退休之后去的国家。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Costa Rica中的“With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S.”(他们每个月从社会保险或类似来源获得至少1000美元的收入,以比美国低得多的成本享受高水平的生活。)根据Malaysia 中“Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy Convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.”(此外,该国还以适中的价格提供现代化设施。移民在日常生活中享受着便利和舒适。你会发现廉价的出租单元,美味的街头小吃和各种各样的购物中心。)由此可知,哥斯达黎加和马来西亚的共同之处在于生活成本相对较低。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mexico中的“Because it’s close to the U. S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders.”(由于靠近美国,墨西哥吸引了100多万美国退休人员来到其边境。)由此可知,墨西哥吸引来自美国的退休人员。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Panama中的“Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees.”(温和的海风带走了全年高温的热量,这一直是吸引外国退休人员的主要原因)由此可知,退休人员选择巴拿马的主要原因是宜人的气候。故选C项。
B
Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team “Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball. I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite (冻疮), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled (雪橇) up and over rocky ice. Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.
4. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 yeas old
A. He became good at most sports. B. He began to build up his body.
C. He joined a sports team. D. He made friends with a runner.
5. The underlined word “exploits” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to______.
A. journeys B. researches
C. adventures D. operations
6. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders
a. He ran his first marathon.
b. He skied alone in the North Pole.
c. He rode his bike in a forest.
d. He planned an adventure to the South Pole.
A. acdb B. cdab
C. acbd D. cabd
7. What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders
A. He is a success in sports. B. He is the best British skier.
C. He is Ridgway’s favorite student. D. He is good instructor at school.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇人物传记。这篇文章主要讲的是Saunders本来是一个完全不擅长体育的学生,15岁生日时收到的一辆山地车改变了他,慢慢成长成一个运动健将,并且已经成为了独自滑雪到达北极的最年轻的人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第一句It was a mountain bike he received for his 15 th birthday that changed him.15岁生日时收到的一辆山地自行车改变了他。由此可知,答案选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.“第二年,他遇到了约翰·里奇威,并被聘为里奇威苏格兰冒险学院的讲师,在那里他了解了里奇威的冷水探险经历。桑德斯极感兴趣,阅读所有关于北极探险者和冒险,然后决定,这将是他的未来。”由此推知划线词的意思是“冒险活动”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend.“起初,他一个人在附近的森林里骑车。然后他开始和一个跑步的朋友一起骑自行车。”--At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.“18岁时,他第一次跑马拉松。”和最后一段中In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. “2001年,在成为一名熟练的滑雪者之后,桑德斯开始了他的第一次北极长途探险。”---Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.“明年10月,27岁的桑德斯将从南极洲海岸向南出发,到达南极,然后返回,这段2900公里的旅程从未在滑雪板上完成过。”由此可知正确顺序是D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲的是Saunders如何由一个完全不擅长体育的学生变成了一个滑雪健将,并且已经成为了独自滑雪到达北极的最年轻的的人。由此可知,答案选A。
C
There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people what time it’s going to hit. It is always estimated, but the result is never 100% accurate.
However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies.
As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing.
I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters, but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.
8. How does the author develop the passage
A. By narration. B. By comparison.
C. By definition. D. By classification.
9. Why did the author learn about the flood so late
A. He didn’t care about the flood. B. He felt nervous about the news.
C. The media didn’t cover it in time. D. The flood frightened the author a lot.
10. How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy
A. Proud. B. Critical. C. Pitiful. D. Sad.
11. What does the author really want to say in the text
A. Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.
B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.
C. The world should be united into one instantly.
D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。讲述的是两个不同地方发生自然灾害,媒体对其报道的程度却是不同的。说明的是,无论发生怎样的新闻报道,媒体都应该及时地进行报道。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies.”(然而,这不是本文的重点。过去几周,世界上两个不同地区发生了两场不同的自然灾害。其中一个是袭击美国路易斯安那州的大洪水。另一个是发生在意大利阿马特里切的地震。然而,对这两起悲剧的新闻报道有一个很大的不同。)可知,文章通过对比两个不同的自然灾害以及其不同的报道程度来说明不管什么样的自然灾害发生之后,新闻媒体都应该及时报导。因此以对比的方式来展开全文。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.”(然而,和我一样,很多人并没有听说这个悲惨的事件。直到三周后我才知道这件事。)可知,因为媒体的报导不及时,很多人不知道路易斯安那州发生的洪灾,包括作者。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding.”(我陷入了深深的悲伤,因为在这次地震中丧生的人比洪水还多。)可知,意大利的地震造成更多的人员伤亡,这让作者陷入深深的悲伤之中。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious.”(然而,我认为,如果发生自然灾害,它们都应该被同等地报道,同等地对待其严重性。)可知,作者认为,不管什么样的自然灾害发生之后,新闻媒体都应该及时报导,应该严肃对待。故选B。
D
When it comes to US middle school science and engineering, girls rule. Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.
The winners were announced (宣布)last month. They were honored for their STEM successes as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work. In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassler. She designed a system to make driving safer by reducing blind spots-the areas that drivers cannot see outside their vehicle (车辆)Gassler developed the technology while in eighth grade.
“She, along with the entire Class of 2019, is already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young inventors give every one of us hope for the future.”
The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. It was set up to encourage young people to attend college and take up jobs in STEM fields. It was open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8 across the country.
This year, all the major awards in the competition went to girls. The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents—about 840, 000 accidents a year nationwide.
Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱)—the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be removed. Gassler used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure (结构)to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device (设备)that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot.
The young inventor won a $ 25, 000 prize for her invention. She told Popular Mechanics she can make improvements on her device with that money. Gassler said she wants to improve the picture—making it easy to see in any weather, or any time of the day. She also told the magazine she hopes to sell her idea.
12. Why was Gassler honored
A. For her interest in science.
B. For her great concern.
C. For her vehicle knowledge.
D. For her STEM success.
13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 actually suggest
A. The reasons why the mother struggled.
B. The great need of STEM education.
C. The great value of Gassler’s invention.
D. The poor quality of family vehicles.
14. What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A. How Gassler’s system works.
B. Why the A-frame pillar is important.
C. When Gassler’s system helps.
D. What are included in her inventions.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. Young students’ great inventions
B. US students compete in science
C. Middle School STEM education
D US girls take top science prizes
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国中学的女生们在STEM方面取得成功且获奖,并介绍了排名第一的Gassler和她的发明。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They were honored for their STEM successes as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work. In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassler.( 他们因在STEM方面的成功,以及在批判性思维、沟通、创造力和团队合作方面的技能而获奖。排名第一的是14岁的阿莱娜·加斯勒。)” 可知,Gassler获得荣誉的原因,是由于她在STEM方面所取得的成功。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents—about 840, 000 accidents a year nationwide.( 最高奖得主阿莱娜·加斯勒说,她看到母亲在家里的车里与盲点作斗争后,就有了这个想法。盲点导致了许多事故——全国每年大约84万起事故。)”可知,Gassler的发明有着很大的价值。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段“Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱)—the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be removed. Gassler used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure (结构)to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device (设备)that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot.( 加斯勒的系统可以帮助司机“透过”A型框架的支柱——汽车前部连接顶窗和前窗的部分。A字型柱对安全很重要,不能拆除。加斯勒使用摄像头帮助司机“透过”建筑物,看到被挡住的东西。摄像机将视频发送到一个显示柱子另一侧图像的设备。这样司机就能“看到”盲点里有什么。)”可知,本段主要介绍了Gassler发明的这一系统是如何进行工作的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When it comes to US middle school science and engineering, girls rule. Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.(在美国中学科学与工程专业,女生居多。在2019年面向全国中学生的博通MASTERS比赛中,女生获得了前五名。)”及文章对女孩Gassler发明并获奖的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了美国的中学女孩们获得科学奖的故事。所以文章标题以女生和获奖为关键词。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stage Fright
Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats.
Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. ____16____ The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.
If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. _____17_____ People experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real.
___18___The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.
___19___ Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately. Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine. _____20_____ Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.
A. These might make your heart race even faster.
B. You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.
C. Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress.
D. You try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.
E. With practice, we can learn how to relax while playing sports.
F. The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.
G. However, there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. C 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。介绍了怯场是人的常见恐惧之一,不一定在舞台上,其他场合也可能会怯场,本文对此提供了一些解决怯场的小建议。
【16题详解】
根据前文:你上场了,聚光灯照在你身上,因此,你要开始表演了。再根据后文The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.(你的嘴里是干的,你的手是湿的。)可知,你很紧张,故前面肯定是说什么都说不出来,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据后文You can experience this kind of fear when playing sports, giving a talk, or even speaking in class.可知,不一定是在舞台上才会体会到怯场,在打比赛时,演讲时甚至是在班级讲话时,都会感受到这一恐惧,故选B。
【18题详解】
本空是属于主题句。本段频繁出现关键词reaction,怯场只是身体对压力做出的反应,故选C。
【19题详解】
本空属于主题句。根据后一句Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help you calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety.可知,作者提出了有办法来让你镇静下来,解决你的怯场问题,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据前一句stay away from drinks that contain caffeine(咖啡因).可知,咖啡因会让人更加兴奋,心跳更快,肯定不会镇静下来,故答案为A。
【点睛】七选五解题技巧
通读文章,首要关注文章的首段与末段,尤其是文章的这两段的末尾句,因为“开门见山”与“末尾点题”的写作方式是最为常见的,首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在,说明本文将探讨哪些内容,并简要指出文章的写作思路,有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义,如果它是文章的主题句,就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开,并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句,则需要继续寻找。这时,可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式,如两者均可排除,则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句,但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。
解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。
2)从词汇上锁定线索 保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。
如此题的第3, 4题都属于主题句,这两题的解题方法基本一样,即抓中心词,从词汇上锁定主题。如第3题本段频繁出现关键词reaction,怯场只是身体对压力做出的反应,
第4题根据后一句Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help you calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety.可知,作者提出了可以帮你镇静下来的几种办法,故前面一句是先提出有方法可以解决你的怯场问题,选F。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何适应高中生活提出了三点建议。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这对你来说可能很难,因为这是你第一次离开父母。根据固定句式“this is the first time that sb have/has done sth. 某人第一次做某事”的用法可知该空用现在完成时态,主语为you,谓语动词用复数形式。填have left。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我知道你现在和别人交流有困难,你可能经常感到孤独。固定短语have trouble doing sth“做某事有麻烦”的用法可知该空填动名词作宾语。故填communicating。
【38题详解】
考查固定句式。句意:那是因为你是新来的,人们不了解你。固定句式that's because…“那是因为…”,故填because。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:首先,你应该参加讨论,表明你对事情的看法。固定短语join in“参加”。故填in。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:同时,学会仔细倾听别人的意见。设空处所填词在句中作状语修饰动词短语listen to,应用副词形式,故填carefully。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:其次,你应该了解你的同学的好恶,这可以让你熟悉他们。这是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰前面整句话的内容,从句中缺少主语,故填which。
42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:只有这样,你才能认识更多不同的人,让他们知道你也很友好。设空后是名词people应用形容词修饰,故该空填difference的形容词形式different“不同的”。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:我们可以一起参加一些活动,我可以把你介绍给其他人。activity是可数名词,根据设空前的提示词some可知该空用名词复数形式。
【44题详解】
考查固定句式。句意:没有必要担心太多,如果你能做到以上几点,人们很快就会更了解你,并愿意和你交朋友。固定句式there is no need to do sth “没有必要做某事”。故填to worry。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上。固定短语make friends with sb.“与某人交朋友”。故填with。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:
(1)一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第六小题,句意:其次,你应该了解你的同学的好恶,这可以让你熟悉他们。这是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰前面整句话的内容,从句中缺少主语,故填which。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Keeping in Touch
There is one thing better than making a new friend and that is keeping an old one.
—Elmer G.Leterman
Two years ago my family moved.The day that we left,my best friend and I cried together in my empty bedroom for hours.No words could describe how sad and homesick I was during the five-hour car ride to my new house.Life was so unbearable that it seemed to be the end of the world.When we finally reached our new house, I rushed to the phone to tell my best friend my address and phone number.We talked for a little while, but I had to hang up because the long-distance call was expensive.
On the first day of school,I called her to tell her how it went. Then on Halloween I sent her a letter with a picture of my new friends and me enclosed. Days later, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t even a letter—just a bunch of pieces of paper saying, “Best friends forever.”
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the longest letter I had ever written.I never received an e-mail back, and by the third e-mail letter with no response, my messages grew shorter and shorter.With each passing day, I got angrier and angrier. At last, I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I could call my other friends,and that I didn’t need to always call her.Give up on my best friend Give up on the person I had known all my life The person I had gone from diapers to Barbies to nail polish with, and who had been in the same class with me from the first through the fifth grade My first answer was automatically “No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, three phone calls and two more letters,I started to consider what my mom had said.Every night about a week, I stayed up in bed thinking, “Should I give up Should I keep trying ”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The way I looked at it,as my best friend,she would share anything with me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With two years of disappointment and depression,I eventually got a phone call from her.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The way I looked at it, as my best friend, she would share anything with me. Simple things would delight me if she takes a minute to write a few words on a piece of paper or text me a short message in the email, or type “hello” on the phone. To me, keeping in touch is absolutely an important part of maintaining friendship. To her, however, she didn’t care, and it didn’t seem to bother.
Paragraph 2:
With two years of disappointment and depression, I eventually got a phone call from her. It happened so unexpectedly to me that I even felt on top of the world. She told me how sorry she was for not writing back and about how busy she had been. I finally forgave her. I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her style, and it didn’t mean she didn’t care about me. I came to realize that true friends never really give up their special connection. Even after two years it felt like we had just talked yesterday. Now we keep in touch or at least she tries to write regularly, however hard she finds it.
【解析】

2.续写线索:作者搬了新家——作者努力和好朋友保持联系——作者收不到好朋友的回信——作者失望和沮丧——好朋友打来电话——两个人重归于好

The Five Best Countries To Move To For Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员) to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U.S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa.
Ecuador
Lazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.
1. What do Costa Rica and Malaysia have in common
A. Convenient shopping. B. Relatively low living cost.
C. Various cultural activities. D. Simple immigration procedures.
2. Which country’s location specially attracts retirees from the U.S.
A. Malaysia’s. B. Mexico’s.
C. Panama’s. D. Ecuador’s.
3. What is the main reason for retirees to choose Panama
A. Beautiful beaches. B. A booming economy.
C. A pleasant climate. D. Discounts for retirees.
B
Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team “Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball. I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite (冻疮), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled (雪橇) up and over rocky ice. Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.
4. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 yeas old
A. He became good at most sports. B. He began to build up his body.
C. He joined a sports team. D. He made friends with a runner.
5. The underlined word “exploits” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to______.
A. journeys B. researches
C. adventures D. operations
6. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders
a. He ran his first marathon.
b He skied alone in the North Pole.
c. He rode his bike in a forest.
d. He planned an adventure to the South Pole.
A. acdb B. cdab
C. acbd D. cabd
7. What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders
A. He is a success in sports. B. He is the best British skier.
C. He is Ridgway’s favorite student. D. He is good instructor at school.
C
There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people what time it’s going to hit. It is always estimated, but the result is never 100% accurate.
However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies.
As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing.
I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters, but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.
8. How does the author develop the passage
A. By narration. B. By comparison.
C. By definition. D. By classification.
9 Why did the author learn about the flood so late
A. He didn’t care about the flood. B. He felt nervous about the news.
C. The media didn’t cover it in time. D. The flood frightened the author a lot.
10. How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy
A. Proud. B. Critical. C. Pitiful. D. Sad.
11. What does the author really want to say in the text
A. Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.
B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.
C. The world should be united into one instantly.
D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.

When it comes to US middle school science and engineering, girls rule. Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.
The winners were announced (宣布)last month. They were honored for their STEM successes as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work. In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassler. She designed a system to make driving safer by reducing blind spots-the areas that drivers cannot see outside their vehicle (车辆)Gassler developed the technology while in eighth grade.
“She, along with the entire Class of 2019, is already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young inventors give every one of us hope for the future.”
The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. It was set up to encourage young people to attend college and take up jobs in STEM fields. It was open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8 across the country.
This year, all the major awards in the competition went to girls. The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents—about 840, 000 accidents a year nationwide.
Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱)—the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be removed. Gassler used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure (结构)to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device (设备)that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot.
The young inventor won a $ 25, 000 prize for her invention. She told Popular Mechanics she can make improvements on her device with that money. Gassler said she wants to improve the picture—making it easy to see in any weather, or any time of the day. She also told the magazine she hopes to sell her idea.
12. Why was Gassler honored
A For her interest in science.
B. For her great concern.
C. For her vehicle knowledge.
D. For her STEM success.
13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 actually suggest
A. The reasons why the mother struggled.
B. The great need of STEM education.
C. The great value of Gassler’s invention.
D. The poor quality of family vehicles.

Stage Fright
Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats.
Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. ____16____ The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.
If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. _____17_____ People experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real.
___18___The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.
___19___ Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately. Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine. _____20_____ Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.
A. These might make your heart race even faster.
B. You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.
C. Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress.
D. You try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.
E. With practice we can learn how to relax while playing sports.
F. The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.
G. However, there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.

Keeping in Touch
There is one thing better than making a new friend and that is keeping an old one.
—Elmer G.Leterman
Two years ago my family moved.The day that we left,my best friend and I cried together in my empty bedroom for hours.No words could describe how sad and homesick I was during the five-hour car ride to my new house.Life was so unbearable that it seemed to be the end of the world.When we finally reached our new house, I rushed to the phone to tell my best friend my address and phone number.We talked for a little while, but I had to hang up because the long-distance call was expensive.
On the first day of school,I called her to tell her how it went. Then, on Halloween I sent her a letter with a picture of my new friends and me enclosed. Days later, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t even a letter—just a bunch of pieces of paper saying, “Best friends forever.”
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the longest letter I had ever written.I never received an e-mail back, and by the third e-mail letter with no response, my messages grew shorter and shorter.With each passing day, I got angrier and angrier. At last, I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I could call my other friends,and that I didn’t need to always call her.Give up on my best friend Give up on the person I had known all my life The person I had gone from diapers to Barbies to nail polish with, and who had been in the same class with me from the first through the fifth grade My first answer was automatically “No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, three phone calls and two more letters,I started to consider what my mom had said.Every night about a week, I stayed up in bed thinking, “Should I give up Should I keep trying ”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The way I looked at it,as my best friend,she would share anything with me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With two years of disappointment and depression,I eventually got a phone call from her.
