(2019·福建三校第一學(xué)期聯(lián)考)I arrived at this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September,full of enthusiasm and eager to start working as an English teacher.I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days.Great,or so I thought.At 4 am and at several intervals after that,I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me.Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.
In the following weeks,I also started to notice a trend.Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day,like the hot water line,bowls,cups,the shower,doors or glass shelves.Yes,I am clumsy but things just fell apart.If it wasn't broken,it would either be dirty or missing.Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting.When I took out my clothes,they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.
As for the general lack of equipment in the house,there was no oven,tin opener,sharp knives or potato peeler.It turned out making a burger from scratch wasn't the best idea.I had a small microwave and a grill.I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on.Smoke soon started to appear.I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door,the electricity cut out.I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark,smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone,which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.
Luckily,I'm now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned.No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break).I've also realized that even if a flat looks pretty,it doesn't mean its contents work.I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited,broken utensils(用具).

(2019·長沙市統(tǒng)一模擬)Two deer jumped out in front of 16-year-old Amanda Floyd's car.She put on the brake,stopping the car just in time.But later,she started texting.Distracted,Amanda turned left and right,then crashed into another car.Luckily,she wasn't in a real car—she was in a driving simulator(模擬器) at Roosevelt High School,Ohio,US.“I never really realized that cars make a turn that much,” Amanda,a junior,said.She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore.
The Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) and Ohio State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school.They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk,texting,or talking on the phone.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,distracted driving claimed 3,450 lives in 2016 alone.Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.
The simulator is basically a computer program.Like many computer games,it was a hit with the students.They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns.The simulator has a steering wheel(方向盤),brake and gas pedal(油門).It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.
Students choose a distraction,such as driving while drunk or texting.They always crash,of course.Then,they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving:how much damage they've caused,what their fine is,if anyone died in the accident,and if they're going to go to prison.
“It teaches how to drive without being on the road,” said Shante Thompson,16. She had just crashed into a deer.
ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far.He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates.
“Driving is such a major responsibility,so take it seriously,” he said.“Put away your cellphone.A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving.It can not only change your life,but change someone else's life forever.The results are serious.”

(2019·大連市一模)Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon—a total lunar eclipse(月食)—on the roof of their house.
Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School,Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.
She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel.So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge,Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.
“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search,” Smeeton said.“She immediately started researching bone density(密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”
“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says.
Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in.It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm,and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.
Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design.A simulator (模擬裝置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment.Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth,such as their homes.
“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said.“Whatever they want to do,they should push for it and always try their best.”

3.What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?
A.The environment on Mars.
B.The safety of the supplies.
C.The activities for astronauts.
D.The comfort of the astronauts.

(2019·長春市質(zhì)量監(jiān)測一)I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there.I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way.After a few steps,I turned and asked him whether he needed help.He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there.So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.
He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk,so I asked him to take the elevator.Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on,I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.
We arrived on the platform with no incidents.The man's knees seemed to soften,so I asked him to rest on a bench.While sitting there,he thanked me,telling me that I saved him.No,I said,I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.
At the next station,we said our goodbyes.Before I knew it,he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train.There was no way to give him back his money.I wanted to leave it on the seat,but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.
My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended.Then I thought he just wanted to thank me,the best way he knew how.Now,my question is—what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?

Gardening 380 Kilometers above Earth
Astronauts have to go through physical,psychological,and technical training. They also go through training in how to care for plants.These“astronaut gardeners” share their work and living space with plants.
Taking seeds and plants along on a trip isn't a new idea.As space trips become longer,it will be necessary to grow food in space.__1__ Because of this,it's not practical to send everything needed for a long journey,only to be used once and thrown away.
Plants can serve many uses on a space journey.They can provide more fresh things.__2__ Also,plants can help to make air quality better because they produce oxygen.They can improve the quality of the air inside the spacecraft — the only air the astronauts can breathe.
__3__ Due to the lack of gravity in space,the oxygen that the plants produce stays around the plants.This can actually kill them,so fans are needed to circulate the air.Without gravity,roots don't“know”to grow down,leaves don't “know” to grow up,and water doesn't easily travel up the roots to the leaves.__4__ Besides,soil is too heavy to send to space,and special liquid gels(凝膠) are used to help plant growth.
Scientists are also working on the plants themselves.They are trying to make plants grow more rapidly and grow with less water and light in space,and they are looking for ways to make plants more resistant to disease.__5__ Imagine that deserts may one day provide lots of fresh food for local people,saving transportation costs.Similarly,plants that are resistant to disease could provide an important food supply.With the world's population now at about 7.7 billion people,our astronaut gardeners may help discover ways to feed those billions.
A.Every plant grown in space must have several uses.
B.However,there are challenges with growing plants in space.

【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了宇航員在太空種植果蔬的原因、好處以及方法。
1.D [空后是說將所有所需東西帶上太空是不切合實際的;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是介紹空后一句的原因;故D項“帶任何東西到太空的花費大約是每千克22 000美元”符合語境。]
2.F [根據(jù)空前一句可知,植物可以為宇航員提供新鮮的東西;根據(jù)空后一句可知,植物還可以改善太空站的空氣質(zhì)量,因為其可以產(chǎn)生氧氣;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是介紹太空種植植物的好處,即宇航員也喜歡在他們的飲食中有新鮮的果蔬食物,故F項正確。]
3.B [上文介紹了太空種植的好處,即為宇航員提供新鮮的果蔬、改善太空站的空氣質(zhì)量等;結(jié)合下文可知,種植太空果蔬有一定的困難;據(jù)此可知,空處承上啟下,與上文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故B項正確。]
4.E [根據(jù)上文可知,在失重的情況下,植物的根和葉不知道如何生長,水分也不容易從根部傳到葉子上;而空后一句介紹了關(guān)于土壤的解決方法;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是介紹解決上述問題的方法,故E項“正在研制專門的容器去幫助植物正確地生長”符合語境。]
5.C [根據(jù)空前一句可知,科學(xué)家們正在尋找各種讓植物少使用水,在太空快速生長,而且可以抵抗病害的方法;且下文又提到改良后的植物對地球的影響;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是說明這些方法可以在地球上運用以帶來改善,故C項正確。]

1.so-called [考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾名詞應(yīng)用形容詞,故用形容詞so-called 修飾dark side,作定語。]
2.a(chǎn)n [冠詞。surface是可數(shù)名詞,且第一次在語境中出現(xiàn),故用不定冠詞修飾,且empty的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭,故填an。]
3.lit/lighted [考查動詞的語態(tài)。根據(jù)空后的介詞“by”并結(jié)合語境可知,此處是被動結(jié)構(gòu),即“be+done”的形式,故填lit/lighted。]
4.has lived [考查動詞的時態(tài)和主謂一致。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,that引導(dǎo)定語從句,指代a subject,在從句中作主語,故此處應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式;且根據(jù)時間狀語for thousands of years可知,本句應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時,故填has lived。]
5.growing [考查形容詞。growing 是形容詞,意為“增長的”,在句中作定語,修飾名詞desire。]
6.programs [考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。program是可數(shù)名詞,且其前無限定詞修飾,故用復(fù)數(shù)形式,故填programs。]
7.its [考查代詞。此處應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞its修飾名詞position。]
8.On [考查介詞。on the whole是固定搭配,意為“大體上”,符合語境,故填介詞On。]
9.that [考查固定用法。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處考查固定用法There is no doubt that,意為“毫無疑問”,符合語境,故填that。]
10.successfully [考查副詞。修飾動詞應(yīng)用副詞,故用副詞successfully修飾其后的動詞sent,在句子中作狀語。]
