Holidays
Holiday News
Vacancies (空位) now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon. This comfortable, friendly home-from-home lies near the beautiful quiet countryside, but just a drive away from the sea. The food is simple but good. Children and pets are welcome. Reduced prices for low season.

The Snowdonia Centre
The Snowdonia Centre for young mountain climbers has a mountain climbing lesson. The beginners’ costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and rooms. Equipment is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost.
You must be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetime of mountain climbing adventure.

The World Sea Trip of a Lifetime
Our World Sea Trip of 2020 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before. Instead of one hotel after another, with all its packing and unpacking, waiting and traveling, you just go to bed in one country and wake up in another.
On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home.
During the trip, you can rest on deck（甲板）, enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.
You will visit all the places most people only dream about — from Acapulco and Hawaii to Tokyo and Hong Kong.
For a few thousand pounds, all you’ve ever hoped for can be yours.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest （卑微的）to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
4. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?
A. Unfriendly. B. Untidy. C. Gentle. D. Kind.
5. The author bought coffee for the old man because
A. he thought the old man was poor B. he wanted to start a conversation
C. he intended to show his politeness D. he would like to thank the old man
6. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?
A. Proud. B. Pitiful. C. Surprised. D. Regretful.
7. What message is mainly expressed in the story?
A. We should learn to be generous.
B. It is honorable to help those in need.
C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.
D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.
C
Rubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.
Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.
A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).
One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.
Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process.
Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.
Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. In the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.
Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life every day is a huge burden for any country.
8. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?
A. Producing electricity.
B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.
C. Reducing 95% of the waste.
D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.
9. Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.
A. the separation of rubbish B. the problems with burning rubbish
C. the safety of burning rubbish D. the cost of burning rubbish
10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. rubbish should be separated when it is burning
B. landfills are too dangerous to be built too many
C. there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubbish
D. developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish
11. After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk about next?
A. Pollution. B. Landfills. C. Recycling. D. Environment.
D
It cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.
Identify your core values
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
Pick a goal and focus on it
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
Set a deadline for success
To set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and necessary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real and planned.
Stick to your goal.
Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset （心态） earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!
In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. While in the process you may encounter （遭遇） plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the four habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or later.
12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you _________.
A. reflect on your goal more B. are more concentrated on a goal
C. are more eager to succeed D. try your best to avoid failure
13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People are all eager to succeed in life.
B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.
C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.
D. failure is sometimes not a bad thing.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to?
A. detail. B. Failure. C. Goal. D. Success.
15. The best title for the passage could be _________.
A. Four Habits to Help You Succeed B. Make the right decision
C. Failure is the mother of success D. Find the core values of success

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At that time, the colonies（殖民地） 41 (fight) for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books 42 would mean more to American children’s — a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them 43 (sell).
Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. 44 wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought 45 word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions. Unfortunately, though, few words changed were words in 46 an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is 47 Americans write color and labor, and the British write colour and labour.
With the money he made 48 his books, Webster was able to start on his great work. This work took more than 20 years to write. It was the first American English dictionary, 49 (publish) in 1828. Webster’s dictionary had over 70,000 words and 50 (give) the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.

Dear Fan,
I am very glad to hear from you. And it is pleasure to tell you a day of my school life in Britain. Normally, I got up at 7:30, wash, have breakfast and leave the house in 8 a.m. It takes half of an hour to go to school by bus, and then lessons start at 9. In the morning I have five lessons, each of them is 45 minutes long, with 10 minute breaks between them, stop for lunch at 12:30. I have one hour for lunch at the school canteen. In the afternoon I have another three lesson, and the school finishes at 4. However, whether a student misbehaves at school, the most common punish is being kept at school by the teacher for an hour before school.
Wish you a happy summer holiday!
Yours truly
Wang Ping

武威六中2020年高三第二次诊断考试
英语参考答案

第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
(A) 本文是几则广告，介绍了几种好的度假方式，并阐述了各自的好处及特色。
1. A 事实细节题。依据题干中提及的pets一词，可知应选第一种度假方式。由Children and pets are welcome可得出答案为A。
2. B 事实细节题。依据During the trip, you can rest on deck (甲板)及You will visit all the places most people only dream about可知World Sea Trip of 2020的特色在于能够在船上睡觉及参观别人参观不到的很多地方。B项正确。
3. D 事实细节题。依据Equipment is included except walking shoes可知该费用不包括鞋的费用。故D项正确。
(B) 作者通过自己遇到一位看起来很穷, 却是个大富翁的事例来告诫我们：不要以貌取人。
4. B 猜测词义题。有上文的unshaved和下文的a worn-out hat可推断出这个划线词的意思：衣衫不整。
5. A. 事实细节题。由第五段最后一句可以得知。
6. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述可知，作者听了朋友的话之后感到很惊讶。
7. D 主旨大意题。本文结尾句说到：我努力尊重每个人，不管他们是谁，我都会热心真诚相待。作者传达出的意思就是：勿以貌取人。
(C) 文章就如何减少浪费而展开讲述目前垃圾的习惯处理方法——填埋和燃烧。但这两种方式各有优缺点。作者希望废物能够得到更好的回收利用，以减少对环境的污染。
8. D 事实细节题。根据第三段Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).可知选D。
9. B 主旨大意题。根据本段(第六段)的Another problem with burning rubbish is that可知前面已经讲了关于燃烧垃圾的一个问题(燃烧前需分类而且分析成本很高)。故此段主要讲燃烧垃圾存在的问题。符合B项。
10. C 推理判断题。由第五和第六段可推断出C项正确。其他选项均无法从原文中推断出。
11. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things可知接下来理应是讲如何更有效地回收利用废物。
(D) 本文介绍了四个可以帮助你取得成功的习惯。
12. B 事实细节题。由Pick a goal and focus on it部分的The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.可知与B项一致。
13. C 推理判断题。A、B、D都可以从原文中推断出来。而C项错就错在are bound to(一定会，必然)，根据文章可知，遵循了文章提到的四个习惯会成功，但由文章最后两段可知，也有看能会失败的。故C项错误。
14. B 词义猜测题。由it所在段落Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure.可知有的时候，失败总是不可避免的，所以Remember your mindset earlier.(早一点有这种会失败的心态)，那么当失败真正到来的时候，不会太过沮丧和一蹶不振。所以Know it will happen.理应就是指：要知道失败可能会发生。而下一句A failure is merely you…一直到段尾都是讲述关于失败的内容。故选B符合上下语境。
15. A 主旨大意题。根据首段的最后一句I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.可知，本文作者主要给读者提供了四个帮助取得成功的好习惯。符合A项。B项文不对题；C和D项过于片面。
第二节

16. E 选项E是对前面travels abroad的进一步补充说明。故选E正确。

第一节
文章讲述的是读中学时，作者在一次数学考试中和其他十一个男孩子一样作弊。Mrs. Clara通过一种特别的方式教育了这些孩子，并对作者影响深远。
21. B 根据下一句的When the papers were可知是指数学考试。故选B正确。
22. A 由空后的she found that twelve boys had made 23 the same mistakes in the test.可知，考完试之后肯定就是改试卷或者给试卷打分。斟酌四个选项，具有“打分”符合语境和逻辑。
23. D 根据空后的the same mistakes in the test和下一段首句There is nothing new about cheating可推知，有12个男孩子在试卷中所犯的错误是完全一样的。斟酌四个选项，只有D项具有“完全地”之意。其他选项都不符合语境。
24. C 整句话There is 24 new about cheating in 25 .意为“考试作弊没什么新鲜的”。故答案选C最合适句意逻辑。
25. A 根据空前的There is nothing new about cheating in可推知，作弊肯定是在考试时。
26. C 根据下一句She only可知，此处作者对Mrs. Clara的举止感到非常惊讶。故答案选C最能体现这种感觉。
27. B 由空后after class. I was one of the twelve和下一段she wrote the following words on the blackboard: On your way home(这些孩子还没有回家)可知，既然这12个孩子作弊，Mrs. Clara肯定是让他们在放学后留下来。
28. C 根据文章最后一段中的I often think of this: if Mrs. Clara had scolded us可知选C。同源词复现。
29. A 由空后的words on the blackboard可知答案选A合适。此处following意为“下面的、以下的”。
30. C 根据下一句Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost.可知选C。属于原词复现。
31. B 根据空后的some money he lost可知，此处是指“有没有看到/发现他丢的钱”，只有B项最符合逻辑。
32. D 由上一段On your way home you find some 30 and …he lost. What will you do?可知Mrs. Clara让我们(12个男孩)把她写在黑板上的问题写下来。故选D合适。
33. A 有上文可知，answer对应question。或者根据空后的to也可知，answer to the question 问题的答案。
34. B 根据首段中的she found that twelve boys可知此题选B。
35. C 根据上文可知，Mrs. Clara的问题让作者感触很深，深深地影响着作者。故作者认为这是他生命中最重要的一件事情。选C符合上下语境。
36. D 对比四个选项。只有A项最符合上下文语境逻辑。from then on意为“从那时起”。
37. D 斟酌四个选项，make a promise 作承诺，make a mistake 犯错误，make a defense 防守，make a decision 作选择。根据文章的内在联系，作者在一次考试中选择了作弊，此处暗指作者以后到底是选择作弊还是选择不作弊，或者作其他选择时，都考虑到Mrs. Clara跟孩子们说的问题。故选D最符合文章语境。
38. B 根据文章的上文语境可知选B。
39. A 由空前的if Mrs. Clara had scolded us as many other可知Mrs. Clara是老师。句意：如果Mrs. Clara也像其他老师一样责备我们。故选A项合适。
40. D 由文章第一、二段可知。或者由第二段首句There is 24 new about cheating in 25 .也可知。属于原词复现。
第二节
本文主要介绍美国词典编纂家诺亚·韦伯斯特以及其英语词典。
41. were fighting 分析句子成分可知，动词fight在此作谓语，故考虑时态和语态。根据背景知识和空前的At that time, the colonies可知此处应该用过去进行时。
42. that/which 分析句子成分可知 would mean more to American children’s是个定语从句，先行词是books，故填which或that均可。
43. were sold 此处sell作谓语，考虑时态和语态。时态是一般过去式，语态要用被动，因此填were sold正确。
44. He 缺少主语填代词。此处He指代前面的Webster。注意首字母要大写。
45. the 根据空后的word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh”可知此处是特指，故需用定冠词。
46. which 分析句子成分可知in an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”是个定语从句且空前已经有个介词in，故填which。in which=where。
47. why 此处why引导一个表语从句。只有填why才符合语境。
48. from 介词短语结构With the money he made 48 his books意为“用那些他从书赚来的钱，……”，表“从……”用介词from。
49. published 分析句子成分可知，动词publish在此作非谓语。而publish与逻辑主语dictionary存在被动关系，故填过去分词形式published作时间状语。
50. gave 根据空前的Webster’s dictionary had over 70,000 words and可知，gave和had是两个并列谓语，时态要一致。
第三部分 写作
第一节 短文改错
这是Wang Ping给Fan写的一封信，信中告知其在英国上学一天的学校生活。
51. 在is和pleasure之间加my /a此处缺少限定词。
52. got→get 根据后面的wash, have breakfast and leave可知要用一般现在时。
53. in→at 表示在多少点用介词at。
54. 去掉half后的of 表示半小时用half an hour，不用介词of。
55. them→which 前后是两个分句，只有用关联词才能把这两个句子连在一起。故用which。是个带有介词的非限定性定语从句。
56. stop→stopping 此处stop是个非谓语。逻辑主语是five lessons。存在主动关系，故用现在分词。
57. lesson→lessons 根据前面的three可知要用复数形式。
58. whether→if 此处是一个条件句。故用if。
59. punish→punishment 作主语要用名词形式。
60. before→after 根据前后语境可知，是指放学后。
第二节 书面表达
Dear Alex,
I would like to ask you for help. Would you please take the place of me to take part in the tree planting activity in the People’s Park tomorrow? You know the school sports meeting has taken up much of my time and energy, and I need to adjust myself. You will get together at the school gate at 7 o’clock, and set off by bike for the park. By the way, it is reported that it probably rains tomorrow, so do remember to take your raincoat along with you. Besides, you must bring your own lunch. A million thanks to you!
