19.(10分)Have you ever wondered why Americans write"color"while British people write"colour"?No,it is not because the Americans are lazy.
In fact ,the different spelling goes back to Noah Webster.He was born in the state of Connecticut in America.Later he became a teacher.He changed British English so that Americans could have their own language.In 2018,people celebrated his 260th birthday at Yale University.
In 1776,the year for Americans got independence from Britain ,the new country had a number of languages.About 60 percent of the country spoke English.Even English speakers from different places spoke and wrote differently.
Webster believed that to unite a new nation,the people should have one language.He also be﹣lieved their dictionaries should not depend on British ones.So the teacher made spellings easier for children to learn.He dropped the British"u" in words like " neighbour",and changed" centre" to"center""to help children spell them more like they sound.Webster traveled across the country to sell his dictionary.Webster wasn't shy about bringing his own opinions into this dictionary.Webster spent 28 years on the project.He finished the 70,000 ﹣ word dictionary in 1828.He added some local words and new wonders like" gaslights".
Joshua Kendall ,who is working on a biography of Webster ,said that he helped make Ameri﹣can English and the American character.

【分析】短文介绍了来自纽约的蒂莫西.多纳从13岁自学希伯来语开始,通过听专辑、拿着字典读报纸、和街头小贩交谈以及通过iPhone上的语言书籍和单词学习应用程序,现在已经掌握了22种语言。
【解答】(1)his.考查代词。根据句意:蒂莫西13岁时开始接受外语教育。his他的,修饰后面的名词language,故填his。
(2)later.考查副词。根据句意:一个月后,他在脑海中记住了他们大约20首歌。later...以后,故填later。
(3)understanding.考查动词。根据句意:有时,他很难理解希伯来语的意思。have trouble doing sth做某事有麻烦,故填understanding。
(4)study.考查动词。根据句意:他每天早上还用收音机学习并与街头购物者交谈。study学习,to+动词原形,故填study。
(5)pronunciation.考查名词。根据句意:他的发音很好。pronunciation发音,不可数名词,故填pronunciation。
(6)easily.考查副词。根据句意:现在他可以很容易地和他们交谈了。easily副词,修饰动词短语have a good conversation with 和...好好交谈,故填easily。

23.(5分)Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park ,a national park in the US state of Wyoing?At Yellowstone National Park ,the plates for food (1) are made of a special kind of plastic.When they are heated for more than a few minutes ,they will break up.
In Atlanta ,the USA,there is a popular restaurant.It is very special.In the restaurant ,waiters(2) no longer throw uneaten food into the dustbins.Instead,the food is used to make compost.
In America ,a new activity known as" zero waste" is becoming popular.It is carried out in schools ,cafes ,gyms ,parks ,restaurants and other places.It calls on people to produce less litter.It encourages people(3) to reuse whatever they can.
(4) Although the idea seems to be a little impossible,it is necessary.According to a new report American people produce the largest number of litter in the world.Each person produces about 4.6 pounds of litter each day.More than half of the litter is put into landfills and then burned.As a matter of fact ,this is harmful to the environment.Besides this ,more landfills are needed.
"Nobody wants to have a landfill near his house," said Jon D.Johnston from the Environmental Protection Organization.It helps to carry (5) out "zero waste"activity."There are not enough landfills ,so we can't put all our litter into them.We should try to recycle litter as much as we can."
【分析】本文讲述了保护环境所做的一些事情,并讲述我们应该尽可能多地回收垃圾。
【解答】(1)are.考查be动词。根据made of,可知短语"be made of...",意思为"由...制成",这里指食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的,the plates为复数,根据后面的are heated,可知时态为一般现在时,故be动词用"are"。句意:在黄石国家公园,食物盘是由一种特殊的塑料制成的。故填:are。
(2)no.考查副词。根据后文的"Instead,the food is used to make compost.(相反,食物被用来制作成混合肥料)",可知服务员不再把没吃的食物扔进垃圾箱,而是用来制作成混合肥料,结合 "longer",可知no longer,意思为"不再"。句意:在餐馆里,服务员不再把没吃的食物扔进垃圾箱。故填:no。
(3)to.考查不定式。根据encourages,可知短语"encourage sb.to do sth.",reuse为动词,不定式to reuse表示目的。句意:它鼓励人们尽可能地重复使用。故填:to。
(4)Although.考查连词。分析句子,可知这里填写连词,根据"...这个想法似乎有点不可能,但它是有必要的。"可知用although"虽然",引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母需要大写。句意:虽然这个想法似乎有点不可能,但它是有必要的。故填:Although。
(5)out.考查短语搭配。根据后面的"zero waste"activity和carry,可知是实施"零浪费"活动,"实施"为短语"carry out"。句意:它有助于实施"零浪费"活动。故填:out。
五.补全对话

(2)Could you give me some advice on how to learn English well ?根据下文"sure(可以)"及"Thank you for your advice(谢谢你的建议)"可知,设空处应是请求对方给自己提些学英语的建议。故填:Could you give me some advice on how to learn English well ?

I still remember three years ago, I had difficulties in learning English.【高分句型一】 It was difficult for me to memorize so many words and understand what people were saying. My spoken English and written English were poor, too. Luckily, with the help of my English teacher, I made great progress in it. I managed to do everything she suggested. I watched English movies and sang classic English songs. It is actually an effective way to improve my listening. While reading, I tried not to read word by word but by word groups and guess the meaning when meeting new words. I wrote down useful words and phrases, in this way, I increased the number of words and understood the articles better, besides, it was also helpful to my written English. Step by step, I made progress, and now I am best at English. (在英语学习中遇到困难时以及如何克服的)
