【題目】 Children can make some pretty lofty statements and grand promises. And an 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception-but then he actually fulfilled his promise.

A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 year old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevrolet(雪佛蘭)Bel Air on his 57th birthday.

'He grew up in a poor family of seven children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time,' Belairboy wrote.

Then the day came.

He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a cornhole board. When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said, 'happy birthday,' all the father could say in a whimpering tone was 'no', as he tearfully went in for a hug.

'Oh my God, oh my God. This is real! This is real! ' the father said as he climbed into the driver's seat.' You're kidding me. This is spotless, man.'

Later, Belairboy revealed that he had hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.

'We would talk about older vehicles so as to make sure how much he would enjoy it. I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day, ' Belairboy wrote.' He would get so excited and talk about owning something that he knew he never would be able to. '

【1】Why did the father say 'No' when seeing his birthday present?

A.He didn't know what happened.

B.He wanted to hug his dear son first.

C.He was too excited to say anything else.

D.He knew little about this type of vehicle.

【2】What did the father think of his dream car at first?

A.He wouldn't like it at all.B.He would own one some day.

C.His son would buy one for him.D.He would never have it in his life.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Belairboy?

A.He is warm-hearted.B.He is worth trust.

C.He is well-received.D.He is hardworking.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一個(gè)兒子兌現(xiàn)自己8歲時(shí)的承諾，送父親愛車，讓父親熱淚盈眶的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)五六段的When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said, 'happy birthday,' all the father could say in a whimpering tone was 'no', as he tearfully went in for a hug.(當(dāng)父親終于抬起頭時(shí)，他的兒子對(duì)他說：“生日快樂！”，父親嗚咽著，一邊說 “不”，一邊走進(jìn)去擁抱)可推測(cè)，父親因?yàn)樘袆?dòng)了不知道該說什么。C. He was too excited to say anything else.(他太感動(dòng)了以至于不知該說什么)符合以上推測(cè)，故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的He grew up in a poor family of seven children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time.(他在一個(gè)有七個(gè)孩子的貧窮家庭長(zhǎng)大。他從來沒有想過會(huì)擁有一輛自己夢(mèng)想的車，只能常常談?wù)?可知，父親認(rèn)為他此生不會(huì)擁有一輛自己夢(mèng)想的車。D. He would never have it in his life.(他有生之年不會(huì)擁有夢(mèng)想的車)符合以上說法，故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevrolet(雪佛蘭)Bel Air on his 57th birthday.(他告訴父親在父親57歲時(shí)，他會(huì)給父親買一輛1957年款的雪佛蘭)和倒數(shù)第三段的'Oh my God, oh my God. This is real! This is real! ' the father said as he climbed into the driver's seat.(“哦，我的上帝！哦，我的上帝！這是真的！”父親一邊說著一邊爬上了駕駛座)可知，作者從小立志要在父親57歲時(shí)給父親買一輛喜歡的豪車，最后承諾得以實(shí)現(xiàn)，由此推測(cè)他是一個(gè)值得信賴的人。B. He is worth trust.(他值得信賴)符合以上說法，故選B項(xiàng)。

【題目】 Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California. She recently discovered a process that may result in batteries that last forever. Thai said she had been frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degrade(退化). Over time, they fail to charge fully. She decided to do something about that problem.

At first, she and her team thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion batteries(鋰電池) to last forever. Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires(納米線) to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. “Nanowires break over time,” she said. “That’s why they lose capacity.”

But, Thai had a theory: The nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝膠). She and the team tested her theory. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA was one of them. The PMMA coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability. Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results.

Mya Le Thai told VOA she is enjoying the publicity about her discovery. She said she never expected her research to get media coverage. “It’s kind of cool,” she said. “I’m really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself, but also in technology and energy.”

【1】Why did Mya Le Thai make up her mind to settle the problem about her wireless devices degrade?

A.Because her wireless devices couldn’t work at all.

B.Because she discovered a new kind of battery.

C.Because the batteries for her wireless devices couldn’t last long.

D.Because she wanted to show her new research.

【2】What prevents lithium-ion batteries from lasting forever?

A.PMMA.B.Nanowires.

C.Electricity.D.Power.

【3】How can the scientist make the nanowires last longer?

A.By using a gel to cover them.B.By cutting them shorter.

C.By making them longer.D.By using a gel to make wire.

【4】What kind of person is Mya Le Thai?

A.Generous and wise.B.Honest and wise.

C.Honest and hard-working.D.Modest and creative.

【題目】 Compulsory citywide garbage sorting began in Beijing in April, aided by new guidelines for residents and the start of a three-month inspection campaign to monitor enforcement. The strict garbage sorting rules require residents to classify their domestic trash into four different categories: kitchen waste, recyclables, hazardous waste and other waste. 【1】

Communities and villages across the capital must set up four different colored trash bins. 【2】 To help residents better classify their domestic trash, four supporting measures would specify the management standards and implementation procedures for classifying garbage. For example, a guideline released in April advised residents to have two trash bins and one garbage bag at home to make the separation of different kinds of waste more convenient.

【3】 The inspection, lasting until the end of July, will focus on mixed waste and its dumping and transport. Meanwhile, the city's market supervision authorities will begin a three-month crackdown on the illegal use and sale of plastic bags.

Under the newly revised domestic waste regulation, supermarkets, shopping malls and trade markets may no longer use super thin or free plastic bags. 【4】

By the end of March, there were 44 domestic waste treatment facilities in Beijing, capable of handling 32,711 metric tons of trash a day, the capital's urban management authorities said. The capital collected 10.11 million tons of household waste last year.

Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced incentives（激勵(lì)）to encourage residents to sort their garbage. 【5】 Some communities had explored new ways of reusing kitchen waste as fertilizer for the residents' rooftop garden.

A.Law enforcement agencies will launch a three-month inspection to monitor compliance with compulsory trash sorting.

B.Those who fail to sort their garbage properly could face fines of up to 200 yuan （$28）.

C.The community acquired a trash treatment machine last year that can recycle some kitchen waste to produce organic soil in 24 hours as fertilizer for potted plants.

D.Restaurants and hotels must stop offering disposable items unless customers request them.

E.Residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as napkins and soap.

F.The treatment facility makes residents more familiar with the processing of garbage and spur their enthusiasm for trash sorting.

G.Green bins will be for kitchen waste, blue ones for recyclables, red for hazardous waste and gray for other waste.

【題目】 On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn son wasn’t going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

“I saw him gasp (喘氣), but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate said. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”

Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to treasure her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.

“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to- skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.

"We were trying to attract him to stay.” Kate said. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”

Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it.

【1】What do we know about the newborn boy mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.He weighed only two pounds.

B.He almost died.

C.He was two minutes older than his twin sister.

D.He had no heartbeat. ‘

【2】Why did the parents make the skin-to-skin contact with the boy?

A.To keep in touch with their son.

B.To follow the doctors’ requirements.

C.To communicate with their son.

D.To better their son’s condition.

【3】What does the underlined word “miraculous” in the last paragraph mean?

A.touchingB.unexpected

【題目】 RAMCO TECHNOLOGIES

Where Technology Shapes Tomorrow

Marketing @Ramco.comewww.Ramco.com

TO: Rachel Mohler, Vice President

Harrison Fontentot, Public Relations

FROM: Mike Gonzalez

SUBJECT: Three Ways to Increase Ramco’s Community Involvement

DATE: March 5, 2019

At our planning session in early February, our division managers stressed the need to generate favourable publicity for our new Ramco facility in Mayfield. Knowing that such publicity will highlight Ramco’s visibility in Mayfield, I think the company’s image might be enhanced in the following three ways.

CREATE A SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Ramco would receive favourable publicity by creating a scholarship at Mayfield Community College for any student interested in a career in technology. A one-year scholarship would cost $6,800. The scholarship could be awarded by a committee composed of Ramco executives. Such a scholarship would emphasize Ramco’s enthusiastic support for the latest technical education at a local college.

OFFER SITE TOURS

Guided tours of the Mayfield facility would introduce the community to Ramco’s innovative technology. These tours might be organized for academic, community, and civic groups. Individuals would see the care we take in protecting the environment in our production and equipment choices and the speed with which we ship our products. Of special interest to visitors would be Ramco’s use of industrial robots working alongside our employees. Since these tours would be scheduled in advance, they should not conflict with our production schedules.

PROVIDE GUEST SPEAKERS

Many of our employees would be excellent guest speakers at civic and educational meetings in the Mayfield area. Possible topics include the advances Ramco has made in designing and engineering and how these advances have helped consumers and the local economy.

Thanks for giving me your comments as soon as possible. If we are going to put one or more of these suggestions into practice before the facility opens in mid-April, we’ll need to act before the end of the month.

【1】If Ramco establishes a scholarship, it will _____.

A.benefit students at colleges in Mayfield

B.highlight Ramco’s support for the latest technical advances

C.be offered to MCC students interested in a career in technology

D.be jointly awarded by Ramco executives and college professors

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Site tours of Mayfield facility can be arranged at any time.

B.The three measures are scheduled to be carried out in mid-April.

C.The three measures are sure to create favourable image for Mayfield.

D.Guest speakers will talk about Ramco’s advances in designing and engineering.

【3】What type of writing is this passage?

A.A letter of introduction.B.A letter of proposal.

C.A letter of recommendation.D.A letter of complaints.

【題目】 On account of the government shutdown, many of the city’s best attractions, such as the national museums, are closed. It may affect your social plans. That’s especially true if you have out-of-town visitors coming to the District. Don’t worry! For every closed museum, we’ve offered up a suitable substitute that is privately run, thus not subject to the shutdown. Here’s where you can go instead.

Anacostia Community Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture

Alternatives: Banneker-Douglass Museum or Alexandria Black History Museum

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is one of the hottest draws on the National Mall, with free tickets taken weeks in advance. Its sister museum, the Anacostia Community (社區(qū)) Museum, takes a community-focused look at African American history. So does the Banneker- Douglass Museum in Annapolis, which traces (追溯) the African American experience in Maryland, and the Alexandria Black History Museum, where exhibitions honor local activists and explore the inuence of slavery in the area. And unlike the African American Museum, neither requires you to plan ahead.

Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Alternative: Glenstone

Wandering through the galleries at Glenstone, you’ll come across some of the biggest names in 20th century art — Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Robert Rauschenberg. Glenstone sits on a 230-acre estate (土地) that doubles as an outdoor sculpture garden. Free tickets for Glenstone are often reserved weeks in advance, but 72 free tickets are available every day for anyone who takes a Montgomery County Ride-On Bus from Rockville Metro Station to the museum.

National Museum of African Art

Alternative: The African Art Museum of Maryland

Masks, musical instruments and jewelry can be found in Fulton, where the African Art Museum of Maryland houses a collection of traditional and contemporary African artworks and objects. And the best part, for visitors on a budget? Admission is free.

【1】Where can visitors go to explore the history of African Americans during the shutdown?

A.National Museum of African Art.

B.Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

C.The African American Museum.

D.Banneker-Douglass Museum.

【2】What can visitors do at Glenstone?

A.Make sculptures in the outdoor garden.

B.Get access to works of famous artists.

C.Take a Montgomery County Ride-On Bus.

D.Enjoy a collection of contemporary African artworks.

【3】What is the main purpose of the text?

A.To introduce different kinds of art exhibitions.

B.To advertise some private museums in the area.

C.To compare public museums with private ones.

D.To provide a guide to museums during the shutdown.

I was so proud that I heard my team won the ice hockey competition. It made me feeling like I could achieve anything. Only three years before, I was terrified of walking or skating on ice. To deal with this, I decided to join skating club. My teacher was great but before I knew it, I was able to skate. He then persuades me to try ice hockey. I loved it and was soon practising with my local team on almost every evening. We’re now training hardly for national competitions and hope to be champion one day, but his ultimate goal is to be an ice hockey teacher and help people learn to play this game.
