第Ⅰ卷
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.
The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.
Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.
1. The groundwater seems to________.
A. be just on the ground B. be pure water like that in a lake or river
C. exist in rocks and sand D. flow along like rivers or streams
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节查找。从第一段中信息“The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.”可知地下水存在于砂石之中。故选B。
2. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by________.
A. run B. pushed
C. drawn D. picked
【答案】C
【解析】猜测词义题。从划线词后面信息“from a deep well（井） by people”可以看出一旦地下水被人从井里“pumped out”，就会需要其它地方的水源补充，由此猜出地下水是被抽出来了。 故选C。
3. What conclusion（结论） can we draw from the passage?
A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.
B. Groundwater is very valuable.
C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.
D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。从全文最后一句话“…it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.”可知，补充地下水需要很多年的时间，因此地下水资源很珍贵。故选B。
B
（烟台理工学校2019—2020学年度第二学期期中）
The trouble started at 9：30 pm last New Year’s Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防车) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26－year－old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.
The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first—hitting a wall beside the front stairs—and broke the woman’s fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious．
Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life－saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”．
On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus’ coffin (棺材)—covered with an American flag—onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.

5．After reaching the top of the ladder, Marcus________．
A．was very afraid and nervous B．couldn’t see anything clearly
C．found it difficult to get down D．was knocked off and got hurt
【答案】D

6．The underlined word “unconscious” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．
A．homeless B．senseless C．breathless D．helpless

C
World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974，established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.
Each year the United Nations pick a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others，followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists，academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day is hosted by India，and the theme is Beat Plastic Pollution. It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic，which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations pick a specific host city every year，people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行)，concerts，cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday，so you won't be getting the day off work or school，but if you want to celebrate，why not bring it to the attention of your parents，friends，colleagues or classmates? World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet，so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens，learn about green foods，raise money for a local wildlife conservation group of simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
8．Why is World Environment Day set up?
A．To make people know more about nature.
B．To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution.
D．To encourage people to plan the earth's future.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。从第一段中的不定式所作的目的状语to inspire可以看出，世界环境日的目的是鼓励人们积极参与环境保护并学会很多方法来帮助确保地球将来的安全，故选B。
9．What do people do on World Environment Day?
A．Decide a host city.
B．Hold a theme party.
C．Discuss environmental ideas.
D．Show some plastic products.
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节理解。从第二段中的“where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others”以及第二段最后一句可以看出，人们主要是在这一天讨论环境问题。故选C。
10．Which of the following words is the closest in meaning to “disposable” in Paragraph 3?
A．High cost.
B．Poor- quality.
C．Secondhand.
D．Single use.
【答案】D
【解析】考查词义猜测。从第三段中的Beat Plastic Pollution可以看出，2018年的主题是“塑战速决”，再结合画线词前面的It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags和后面的which makes up 10% of all of the waste可知，disposable plastic造成大量资源浪费，所以“一次性的”符合语境，故选D项。
11．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Every bit of effort counts/ matters. Count
B．Doing is better than saying.
C．Many hands make light work.
D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】A
【解析】考查段落大意。根据最后一段的内容可知，世界环境日不是公共节日，所以人们不放假。但如果你想庆祝的话，为何不让你周围的人关注它呢？所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起，行动起来保护地球，每个人的微小努力都很重要，故选A项。
D
To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand. This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.
“Planting trees is one way, but it isn’t that simple. It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor. “We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect.”
Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success. When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land. He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms. He says he still gets good yields（产量） using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family.
Other farmers haven’t stuck it out（坚持到底）: about one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died. Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return.
Last week, Mr. Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south. The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan. The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.
“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says. “We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger. That will stop the desert.”
Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water. Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.
12. The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that __________.
A. it can make groundwater become less
B. it can prevent the sand moving freely
C. it can stop crops growing well
D. it can get the soil to become poor
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.可知种树并不是一个治本的方法，因为这些树会吸收很多的地下水。这会带来负面影响。故选A。
13. Why did Mr. Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?
A. Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money.
B. Because his family had trouble moving away.
C. Because he was reluctant to give up his land.
D. Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.由于沙漠化，政府计划让他们搬迁。但是这个想法让他很难过，因为他还想待在这里和沙漠化做斗争。他不情愿离开祖辈生活的地方。故选C。
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives.
B. People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert.
C. Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert.
D. Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段首尾句Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. 和Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.可知专家建议农民转换成滴灌来减少用水量。路边的标牌上也要求农民节约用水，这都说明缺水才是人们与沙漠做斗争的最大的障碍。故C正确。
15. What advice is given by experts to save water?
A. To plant more trees.
B. To build greenhouses.
C. To change crops.
D. To use drip irrigation.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句信息“Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops.”可知专家建议农民利用滴灌技术来家少用水量。故选D。

【山东省泰安市2018届第二次模拟】
Recently, I’ve been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time．___16___ There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule…
Part 1—If it takes less than two minutes，then do it now．
__17___ For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，taking out the garbage，sending that email，and so on．
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete，then follow the rule and do it right now．
Part 2—When you start a new habit，it should take less than two minutes to do．
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．___18___
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differ．The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life．___19___ I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started．
The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time，but each time．It’s not about performance，it’s about consistently taking action．
I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．__20___ Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds．Use this time to get one thing done．Go．
A．I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”．
B．And that’s the purpose behind this little rule．
C．Here’s what you need to know to stop procrastinating．
D．Once you start doing something，it’s easier to continue doing it．
E．But，I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it．
F．The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing．
G．It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less．
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。作者针对如何克服拖延这一问题，给出了自己的方法——“两分钟规则”。
16. 根据后文There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule…这里提到了“两分钟规则”分为两部分，所以上文会说什么是“两分钟规则”，故选A。
17. 根据后文“For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，…”可知有很多可以在两分钟内完成的事情，但是却被我们拖延了。故选G。
18. 根据前文信息“Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．”这里捕捉到了关键词goal，B项（这正是这个小规则背后的目的。）总结本段内容，故选B。
19. 根据前文The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life.这里提到了生活的惯性，故D项（一旦你开始做某事，继续做它就很容易。）正是惯性的一种，故选D。
20. 根据前文信息“I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．”这里提到了我不能保证“两分钟规则”是否对你有效，故E项（但是我保证，如果你不尝试，它绝不会起作用）是对前文内容的进一步阐述，故选E。

【答案及解析】
46．than 解析：考查连词。句意：由于全球变暖的影响，海平面上升和自然灾害变得比以前更加严重，当地的一些社区正在采取行动。根据设空处前的more serious及设空处后的before可知，此处表示比较意义。故填than。
47．where 解析：考查定语从句。句意：其中一个是佛罗里达州的一个社区，在保护沿海城市免受海平面上升的威胁方面，当地的人们和政府官员(的做法)证明是成功的。分析句子结构可知，设空处在句中引导定语从句，先行词为Florida，表示地点，设空处在从句中充当地点状语，故应用where引导该从句。故填where。
48．coastal 解析：考查词性转换。句意见上一题解析。设空处在句中修饰名词cities，应用形容词。故填coastal。
49．ways 解析：考查名词单复数。句意：社区研究了海平面上升的程度，并提议解决问题的方法。此处way意为“方法”，是可数名词，根据句意及语境可知，此处指不止一种方法，故应用复数形式。故填ways。
50．to ban 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：社区劝说州政府禁止在海岸线附近开发新的土地并建议沿着海滩建起沙丘。persuade...to do...为固定搭配，意为“劝说……做……”，故此处应用不定式to ban作persuade的宾语补足语。故填to ban。
51．gradually 解析：考查词性转换。句意：克里斯汀·雅各布斯是这个组织的创建者之一，在逐渐了解到州内各水利局就联合行动不能达成统一的意见之后，她于2008年决定采取行动。设空处修饰形容词clear，应用副词，故填gradually。
52．colder 解析：考查形容词的比较等级。句意：尽管佛罗里达州有些政府官员怀疑气候是否会变得更热或更冷，但住在这些地区的人们确定需要保护他们的社区。根据并列连词or及之前的hotter可知，此处表示比较意义，应用形容词的比较级。故填colder。
53．living 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。分析句子成分可知，设空处修饰主语the people，且与the people之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故填living。
54．is 解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，在财力受限的情况下，提出对抗气候变化影响的方法是迫切的问题。句中“coming up with ways...”是动名词短语，为本句主语，其谓语动词应用单数形式，且根据本句时间状语At present可知，此处应用一般现在时。故填is。
55．the 解析：考查冠词。句意：只有时间会说明这些沿海社区(的举措)最终是否会成功。in the end是固定搭配，意为“最终，最后”。故填the。

参考范文
Dear Mr Smith,
I'm Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 3. I'm glad to hear you will come to teach us. I will give a brief introduction of our class to you.
There are 60 students in our class, including 36 boys and 24 girls. Most of us are fond of studying English, but the abilities of listening and speaking are relatively weak, especially when communicating with foreigners. Although the academic atmosphere is great, we always can't get good grades.
We hope you will give us more opportunities to express ourselves in English and enjoy more English videos in class. In addition, if a variety of English activities, such as English short plays and English speech contests, can be held regularly, our English will improve greatly.
We are looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节读后续写（满分25分）
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?”_______________________________________

Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?” “Yes. Yes. That's about all I have,” “Well then, you just have your husband sitting at the front gate on Friday morning around 10 o’clock so he can be there when my Dad and I come to unload his new canoe. We’ll even put a bow on it for his birthday.” I started to cry. My old hand shook as I wrote out my cheque.
Paragraph 2:
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him. He always promised to retire one day. Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe.” He swallowed hard. “My Grandpa died, sudden-like, just last week. He was only 68 years old. I think he’d be mighty happy that your husband will get this canoe. You just have to make sure he uses it a lot, okay? Promise?” “I promise,” I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.

第Ⅰ卷
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.
The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.
Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.
1. The groundwater seems to________.
A. be just on the ground B. be pure water like that in a lake or river
C. exist in rocks and sand D. flow along like rivers or streams
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节查找。从第一段中信息“The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.”可知地下水存在于砂石之中。故选B。
2. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by________.
A. run B. pushed
C. drawn D. picked
【答案】C
【解析】猜测词义题。从划线词后面信息“from a deep well（井） by people”可以看出一旦地下水被人从井里“pumped out”，就会需要其它地方的水源补充，由此猜出地下水是被抽出来了。 故选C。
3. What conclusion（结论） can we draw from the passage?
A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.
B. Groundwater is very valuable.
C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.
D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。从全文最后一句话“…it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.”可知，补充地下水需要很多年的时间，因此地下水资源很珍贵。故选B。
B
（烟台理工学校2019—2020学年度第二学期期中）
The trouble started at 9：30 pm last New Year’s Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防车) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26－year－old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.
The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first—hitting a wall beside the front stairs—and broke the woman’s fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious．
Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life－saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”．
On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus’ coffin (棺材)—covered with an American flag—onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974，established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.
Each year the United Nations pick a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others，followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists，academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day is hosted by India，and the theme is Beat Plastic Pollution. It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic，which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations pick a specific host city every year，people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行)，concerts，cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday，so you won't be getting the day off work or school，but if you want to celebrate，why not bring it to the attention of your parents，friends，colleagues or classmates? World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet，so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens，learn about green foods，raise money for a local wildlife conservation group of simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
8．Why is World Environment Day set up?
A．To make people know more about nature.
B．To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution.
D．To encourage people to plan the earth's future.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。从第一段中的不定式所作的目的状语to inspire可以看出，世界环境日的目的是鼓励人们积极参与环境保护并学会很多方法来帮助确保地球将来的安全，故选B。
9．What do people do on World Environment Day?
A．Decide a host city.
B．Hold a theme party.
C．Discuss environmental ideas.
D．Show some plastic products.
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节理解。从第二段中的“where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others”以及第二段最后一句可以看出，人们主要是在这一天讨论环境问题。故选C。
10．Which of the following words is the closest in meaning to “disposable” in Paragraph 3?
A．High cost.
B．Poor- quality.
C．Secondhand.
D．Single use.
【答案】D
【解析】考查词义猜测。从第三段中的Beat Plastic Pollution可以看出，2018年的主题是“塑战速决”，再结合画线词前面的It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags和后面的which makes up 10% of all of the waste可知，disposable plastic造成大量资源浪费，所以“一次性的”符合语境，故选D项。
11．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Every bit of effort counts/ matters. Count
B．Doing is better than saying.
C．Many hands make light work.
D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】A
【解析】考查段落大意。根据最后一段的内容可知，世界环境日不是公共节日，所以人们不放假。但如果你想庆祝的话，为何不让你周围的人关注它呢？所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起，行动起来保护地球，每个人的微小努力都很重要，故选A项。
D
To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand. This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.
“Planting trees is one way, but it isn’t that simple. It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor. “We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect.”
Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success. When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land. He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms. He says he still gets good yields（产量） using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family.
Other farmers haven’t stuck it out（坚持到底）: about one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died. Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return.
Last week, Mr. Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south. The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan. The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.
“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says. “We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger. That will stop the desert.”
Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water. Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.
12. The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that __________.
A. it can make groundwater become less
B. it can prevent the sand moving freely
C. it can stop crops growing well
D. it can get the soil to become poor
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.可知种树并不是一个治本的方法，因为这些树会吸收很多的地下水。这会带来负面影响。故选A。
13. Why did Mr. Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?
A. Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money.
B. Because his family had trouble moving away.
C. Because he was reluctant to give up his land.
D. Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.由于沙漠化，政府计划让他们搬迁。但是这个想法让他很难过，因为他还想待在这里和沙漠化做斗争。他不情愿离开祖辈生活的地方。故选C。
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives.
B. People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert.
C. Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert.
D. Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段首尾句Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. 和Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.可知专家建议农民转换成滴灌来减少用水量。路边的标牌上也要求农民节约用水，这都说明缺水才是人们与沙漠做斗争的最大的障碍。故C正确。
15. What advice is given by experts to save water?
A. To plant more trees.
B. To build greenhouses.
C. To change crops.
D. To use drip irrigation.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句信息“Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops.”可知专家建议农民利用滴灌技术来家少用水量。故选D。

【山东省泰安市2018届第二次模拟】
Recently, I’ve been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time．___16___ There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule…
Part 1—If it takes less than two minutes，then do it now．
__17___ For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，taking out the garbage，sending that email，and so on．
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete，then follow the rule and do it right now．
Part 2—When you start a new habit，it should take less than two minutes to do．
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．___18___
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differ．The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life．___19___ I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started．
The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time，but each time．It’s not about performance，it’s about consistently taking action．
I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．__20___ Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds．Use this time to get one thing done．Go．
A．I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”．
B．And that’s the purpose behind this little rule．
C．Here’s what you need to know to stop procrastinating．
D．Once you start doing something，it’s easier to continue doing it．
E．But，I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it．
F．The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing．
G．It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less．
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。作者针对如何克服拖延这一问题，给出了自己的方法——“两分钟规则”。
16. 根据后文There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule…这里提到了“两分钟规则”分为两部分，所以上文会说什么是“两分钟规则”，故选A。
17. 根据后文“For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，…”可知有很多可以在两分钟内完成的事情，但是却被我们拖延了。故选G。
18. 根据前文信息“Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．”这里捕捉到了关键词goal，B项（这正是这个小规则背后的目的。）总结本段内容，故选B。
19. 根据前文The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life.这里提到了生活的惯性，故D项（一旦你开始做某事，继续做它就很容易。）正是惯性的一种，故选D。
20. 根据前文信息“I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．”这里提到了我不能保证“两分钟规则”是否对你有效，故E项（但是我保证，如果你不尝试，它绝不会起作用）是对前文内容的进一步阐述，故选E。

【答案及解析】
46．than 解析：考查连词。句意：由于全球变暖的影响，海平面上升和自然灾害变得比以前更加严重，当地的一些社区正在采取行动。根据设空处前的more serious及设空处后的before可知，此处表示比较意义。故填than。
47．where 解析：考查定语从句。句意：其中一个是佛罗里达州的一个社区，在保护沿海城市免受海平面上升的威胁方面，当地的人们和政府官员(的做法)证明是成功的。分析句子结构可知，设空处在句中引导定语从句，先行词为Florida，表示地点，设空处在从句中充当地点状语，故应用where引导该从句。故填where。
48．coastal 解析：考查词性转换。句意见上一题解析。设空处在句中修饰名词cities，应用形容词。故填coastal。
49．ways 解析：考查名词单复数。句意：社区研究了海平面上升的程度，并提议解决问题的方法。此处way意为“方法”，是可数名词，根据句意及语境可知，此处指不止一种方法，故应用复数形式。故填ways。
50．to ban 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：社区劝说州政府禁止在海岸线附近开发新的土地并建议沿着海滩建起沙丘。persuade...to do...为固定搭配，意为“劝说……做……”，故此处应用不定式to ban作persuade的宾语补足语。故填to ban。
51．gradually 解析：考查词性转换。句意：克里斯汀·雅各布斯是这个组织的创建者之一，在逐渐了解到州内各水利局就联合行动不能达成统一的意见之后，她于2008年决定采取行动。设空处修饰形容词clear，应用副词，故填gradually。
52．colder 解析：考查形容词的比较等级。句意：尽管佛罗里达州有些政府官员怀疑气候是否会变得更热或更冷，但住在这些地区的人们确定需要保护他们的社区。根据并列连词or及之前的hotter可知，此处表示比较意义，应用形容词的比较级。故填colder。
53．living 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。分析句子成分可知，设空处修饰主语the people，且与the people之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故填living。
54．is 解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，在财力受限的情况下，提出对抗气候变化影响的方法是迫切的问题。句中“coming up with ways...”是动名词短语，为本句主语，其谓语动词应用单数形式，且根据本句时间状语At present可知，此处应用一般现在时。故填is。
55．the 解析：考查冠词。句意：只有时间会说明这些沿海社区(的举措)最终是否会成功。in the end是固定搭配，意为“最终，最后”。故填the。

参考范文
Dear Mr Smith,
I'm Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 3. I'm glad to hear you will come to teach us. I will give a brief introduction of our class to you.
There are 60 students in our class, including 36 boys and 24 girls. Most of us are fond of studying English, but the abilities of listening and speaking are relatively weak, especially when communicating with foreigners. Although the academic atmosphere is great, we always can't get good grades.
We hope you will give us more opportunities to express ourselves in English and enjoy more English videos in class. In addition, if a variety of English activities, such as English short plays and English speech contests, can be held regularly, our English will improve greatly.
We are looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.
Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?”_______________________________________

Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?” “Yes. Yes. That's about all I have,” “Well then, you just have your husband sitting at the front gate on Friday morning around 10 o’clock so he can be there when my Dad and I come to unload his new canoe. We’ll even put a bow on it for his birthday.” I started to cry. My old hand shook as I wrote out my cheque.
Paragraph 2:
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him. He always promised to retire one day. Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe.” He swallowed hard. “My Grandpa died, sudden-like, just last week. He was only 68 years old. I think he’d be mighty happy that your husband will get this canoe. You just have to make sure he uses it a lot, okay? Promise?” “I promise,” I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.
