people I have ever met.A few years back we started this sort of “favor war”， where one of us would do something for the other，such as shoveling(铲) his driveway or helping him build a shed，and next time the other would try to top it with another favor.Yesterday morning there was maybe 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground and I remembered he shoveled my driveway for me last snowfall.So I took out my shovel and took care of both our sidewalks and driveways because it was my turn to do a favor back.It took a while but I finished and got into my car for work.What I didn't realize was that Orlando had to work that day too.Fast forward to this morning I got a knock on my door.It was him.He immediately shook my hand and informed me that because I shoveled his driveway and sidewalk for him，he was able to get to work earlier.As soon as he started his shift，a call came through that a young boy was in a medical emergency.Luckily he and his partner were only about 2 minutes away，but the next closest ambulance was in 10 minutes.This kid did not have 10 minutes.He barely had 2 minutes.Because my neighbor got to work sooner，the young boy got to live his life.This isn't a brag(吹嘘)．This is to inform others that even the smallest favors can have the biggest impacts.It wasn't too much of trouble to shovel his driveway for him，but because I did，the young kid got to see his family again，go back to school again，talk to his friends again and live his life.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。“我”和邻居Orlando总是互相帮助，这次下雪，“我”帮助他铲除了道路上的积雪，让他能很快去上班。一个等待急救的男孩在他的及时救治下摆脱了危险。“我”的善举救了孩子一命。1．What can we know about the writer and Orlando?A．They once had a conflict.B．They signed a favorable agreement.C．They favor shoveling snow together.D．They are always ready to help each other.D　[细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“A few years back we started this sort of ‘favor war’， where one of us would do something for the other，such as shoveling(铲) his driveway or helping him build a shed，and next time the other would try to top it with another favor”可知，几年前我们就开始这种“互助活动”，一个人帮助另一个人之后，下一次便由对方提供帮助；据此可知，作者和Orlando总是乐意互相帮助，故D项正确。]2．Who saved the boy before it was too late?A．The writer.B．The boy's parents.C．Orlando and his wife.D．Orlando and his partner.D　[细节理解题。根据第三段第五句“Luckily he and his partner were only about 2 minutes away，but the next closest ambulance was in 10 minutes”，并结合该段内容可知，Orlando和他的搭档离医院只有大约两分钟的车程，他们很快上班挽救了男孩的生命，故D项正确。]3．What does the writer intend to tell us?A．Never ask for trouble.B．No favor is too small.C．One cannot always be lucky.D．Don't lose heart in an emergency.B　[写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是尾段第二句“This is to inform others that even the smallest favors can have the biggest impacts”可知，本文是为了告诉读者，即使是最小的帮助也能产生最大的影响。故B项正确。]B(2019·武汉市调研测试)The boy sat on his chair，with his hands above the keyboard.He thought about what to write.He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away.But he still had not even started on his piece.He looked at the brochure again.“WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read.His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition，and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts，he realized how hopeless his task of winning was.Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories.He had little imagination，and unfortunately，imagination was the key to writing.Suddenly，he had a brainwave.This time，he came up with an original and imaginative story.The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves.Words were coming easily，flowing through him，faster than he could type.He typed faster than he ever had before.He continued to type，amazed how easy writing this story was.The boy could not stop writing.He looked at the word count and saw the number “248” staring right back at him.He was not even halfway yet.Then he heard his mother's call of saying time for bed.He continued writing the piece ignoring her.He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.Finally，he finished.The word count now read “498”．“Perfect，” he thought，“just under the word limit.” He knew this was the story that would win.He went to the website and searched for the competition.He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.Confused，he then re­read the page again.It read COMPETITION CLOSED.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。小男孩参加一个网络写作比赛，可是怎么也想不出写作主题。好一会儿后，他茅塞顿开，快速敲击键盘，可是等到他写好文章准备提交时，页面上却显示“COMPETITION CLOSED”。4．What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?A．A new computer.B．The prize money.C．His own interest.D．His mom's encouragement.D　[细节理解题。根据第二段尾句“His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition，and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays”可知，他的妈妈鼓励他参加写作比赛，现在他把写作作为假期的个人任务；据此可知，他参加写作比赛是他妈妈鼓励的，故D项正确。]5．How did the boy finish his earlier writing?A．His mom helped him.B．He copied others' ideas.C．His friends assisted him.D．He used his imagination.B　[细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories”可知，他之前写的每一个故事都是以其他故事为基础；据此可知，以前写作时，他总是仿照别人的故事写，故B项正确。]6．Why did the boy delay his writing?A．Because he was terribly lazy.B．Because he didn't know what to write.C．Because he wasn't confident.D．Because he read too many stories.B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He thought about what to write”及第三段的内容“As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts，he realized how hopeless his task of winning was...He had little imagination，and unfortunately，imagination was the key to writing”及倒数第五段尾句“He had to...write”可知，想象力是写作的关键，而他又缺乏想象力；另外，由于他不知道写什么，故他延误了写作时间，故B项正确。]7．Which might be the maximum word limit for each entry?A．100.　 B．250.C．500. D．1000.C　[推理判断题。根据第七段“Finally，he finished.The word count now read ‘498’”可知，他写了498个词，终于完成了；结合第八段第一句“‘Perfect，’ he thought，‘just under the word limit.’”可知，他认为太完美了，刚好低于限定的词数；据此可以判断，文章的最高限定词数可能为500，故C项正确。] Ⅱ.完形填空(2019·昆明市教学质量检测)My least favorite part was
