【題目】 Bert Kate, my grandfather, celebrated his 90th birthday in November 2016. Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees (an American professional baseball team based in the New York City) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (熱切的) listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.

Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his vision three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.

Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec.15,2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my grandfather was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.

Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday and, of course, talking about the Yankees.

When my family celebrated Bert’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him.

Unfortunately, Ben’s health declined last year and he passed away July 13,2017. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home,he always had a radio set to WFAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa.And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.

【1】Why did Bert listen to WFAN radio for many years? ( no more than 10 words)

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid listener to WFAN radio(Bert熱愛(ài)運(yùn)動(dòng)，是一個(gè)狂熱的洋基球迷，所以難怪這些年來(lái)，他是WFAN電臺(tái)的熱心聽(tīng)眾)可知Bert聽(tīng)WFAN電臺(tái)很多年是因?yàn)樗矚g運(yùn)動(dòng)并且是一個(gè)狂熱的洋基球迷，故答案為Because Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees fan.

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced(他對(duì)收音機(jī)和Francesa的依戀變得更加明顯)可知在失去vision之后，他變得更依賴收音機(jī)，據(jù)此可推斷出vision在此處意為“視力（Sight/Eyesight）”，故答案為Sight/Eyesight.

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone.(在這特殊日子的前兩天，邁克在我的工作場(chǎng)所停了下來(lái)。我給在療養(yǎng)院的Bert打了電話，并且讓Mike與他通話。)可知在Bert生日的兩天前，Mike和他通了電話。故答案為Mike talked with Bert on the phone.

Voice for the Planet

It's the voice you notice first. In person, David Attenborough speaks in the same awestruck hush he has used in dozens of nature documentaries, a crisp half whisper 【1】 is often imitated but seldom matched. Sitting in his home in the Richmond neighbourhood of west London for one in a series of conversations, I feel obliged to drink 【2】 second cup of tea when he offers. It somehow seems wrong to say no.

In his native U. K. Attenborough is held in the kind of respect usually 【3】 (reserve) for royalty. Over decades - first as a television executive, then as a wildlife filmmaker and recently as a kind of elder statesman for the planet -- he has achieved near saintly（圣人的）status. He was knighted（封為騎士）by the Queen in 1985 and 【4】 (usually refer) to as Sir David.

Attenborough pioneered a style of wildlife film-making that brought viewers to remote landscapes and gave them a close perspective on the wonders of nature. In the autumn of his life, Attenborough has largely moved away from 【5】 these films are made but lends his storytelling abilities to wildlife documentaries in collaboration with filmmakers his storytelling abilities to wildlife documentaries in collaboration with filmmakers he has mentored. His most famous work, the 2006 BBC series Planet Earth, set a benchmark in the use of high-definition cameras and had a budget equal to 【6】 of a Hollywood movie. Among its highlights 【7】 (be) the first footage of a snow leopard, the impossibly rare Asian wildcat that hunts high in the Himalayas. More than a decade 【8】 it was first released, Planet Earth remains among the all-time best-selling nonfiction DVDs.

Now Attenborough is putting his voice and the weight of authority he has accumulated to greater moral purpose. In recent months he has stood 【9】 powerful audiences at the 2018 U. N. climate talks in Katowice, Poland, and the 2019 World Economic Forum at Davos, in Switzerland, to urge them into action on climate change. These kinds of event are not his chosen habitat, Attenborough tells TIME. "I would much prefer not to be a sign- 【10】 (carry) conservationist. My life is the natural world. But I can't not carry a placard（標(biāo)語(yǔ)牌）if I see what's happening."

【題目】 Once I had a student called Jamal. He would squirm (扭來(lái)扭去)in his chair during independent work, and he would never stay still for more than three or four minutes. Students like Jamal can confuse brand new teachers because they’re not quite sure how to support young people like him. I took a direct approach. I negotiated with Jamal. If he could give me focused work, then he could do it from anywhere in the classroom: from our classroom rug, from behind my desk, or from inside his classroom locker, which turned out to be his favorite place.

Jamal’s least favorite subject was writing, and he never wanted to read what he had written out loud in class, but we were still making progress. One day, I decided to host a mock (模擬的)2008 presidential election in my classroom. My third graders had to research and write a speech for their chosen candidate: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The favorite candidates were obvious, but one student chose John McCain. It was Jamal. Jamal finally decided to read something that he had written out loud in class, and sure enough, Jamal stunned all of us with his brilliance. Just like Jamal’s dad, John McCain was a veteran, and just like Jamal’s dad protected him, Jamal believed that John McCain would protect the entire country. He wasn’t my candidate of choice, but it didn’t matter, because the entire class erupted into applause for our brave friend Jamal who finally showed up as his most confident self for the first time that year.

A lack of confidence pulls us down from the bottom and weighs us down from the top, crushing us between a flurry of can’ts and won’ts. Without confidence, we get stuck, and when we get stuck, we can’t even get started. Instead of getting mired in what can get in our way, confidence invites us to perform with certainty.

【1】Which of the following best describes Jamal?

A.Naughty and stubbornB.Determined but shy

C.Smart but unfocusedD.Confident and generous

【2】Why did Jamal choose John McCain in the mock 2008 presidential election?

A.Because John was the least popular among the three choices.

B.Because John had written something about him before.

C.Because John shared some similarities with Jamal’s father.

D.Because John was a soldier who could protect the country.

【3】What does the underlined word “stun” mean?

A.Amaze.B.Cheer.C.Awake.D.Entertain.

【4】What is the main purpose of the text?

A.To introduce the change of the authors student.

B.To show how to deal with problem students.

C.To stress the importance of encouragement.

D.To encourage us to be confident.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】 Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (農(nóng)村的) and urban areas within one country.

Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion (時(shí)刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (興旺) in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake，which signifies (預(yù)示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

【1】According to the passage,sharing bread____

A.can help to develop unityB.is a custom unique to rural areas

C.indicates a lack of foodD.has its roots in birthday celebrations

【2】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The custom of sharing food.B.The importance of food in culture.

C.The role of food in ceremonies.D.The specific meaning of food.

【3】The author explains the role of food in celebrations by

A.making comparisonsB.using examples

C.analyzing causesD.describing processes
