【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.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。主要講述了一對(duì)夫婦新出生的兒子被診斷無(wú)法活下來(lái)，但在他們與孩子告別時(shí)，這對(duì)夫婦與孩子的肢體接觸，對(duì)孩子說(shuō)話的時(shí)候發(fā)生了奇跡，他們的兒子開(kāi)始呼吸，成功的活了下來(lái)的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.”他的心跳快要消失了，他要停止了呼吸，這個(gè)嬰兒活不了多久�？芍鲁錾哪泻缀跻懒�。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to- skin contact would improve his condition.”初為父母的他們希望他們的兒子盡可能地溫暖，并希望通過(guò)皮膚接觸可以改善他的狀況。由此判斷出父母與男孩進(jìn)行皮膚接觸的原因是為了改善兒子的狀況。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing.”Jamie再次喘氣，然后他開(kāi)始呼吸了。并結(jié)合前文所述Jamie狀況很糟糕幾乎不能呼吸可知，此時(shí)發(fā)生了意想不到的事情。由此判斷出劃線詞的意思是“意想不到的”。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段中“The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to- skin contact would improve his condition.”初為父母的他們希望他們的兒子盡可能地溫暖，并希望通過(guò)皮膚接觸可以改善他的狀況。并結(jié)合最后一段中“Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it.”最后，他觸摸到父親的手指。 這對(duì)夫婦快要失去了孩子最終成功的活了下來(lái)�？芍沁@對(duì)夫婦與孩子的肢體接觸讓孩子活了下來(lái)。因此C項(xiàng)Life-giving Touch“賦予生命的觸摸”為最佳標(biāo)題。故選C項(xiàng)。

Many people take the idea of saving money very seriously. Back in 1924, in Italy, a group of people 【1】 (think) the inability to resist spending a major social problem. They had the idea of starting a day to remind people to put away some money for a rainy day. This is how World Saving Day, held on Oct. 31st 【2】(annual), was started, and it's still going strong in 2019.

Not surprisingly, a movement 【3】(target) the poor was started. People in the underdeveloped world are more open 【4】 calls to be careful with money. But 【5】 idea of being thrifty (節(jié)儉) has also become popular among the rich. Take Mark Zuckerberg for example. The Facebook founder, one of the world's 【6】(rich) people, doesn't spend very much money on himself.

Other people don't spend money because they don't like the culture of 【7】(consume). This is connected to the view 【8】 we should make ourselves happy through the activities we take part in, rather than with what we buy.

But however we view money, moderate spending is certainly a good idea when we are still too young to get a job. There is a British saying that 【9】(offer) some good advice in this situation: “Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after 【10】(they).”

【題目】Remarkable Ways to Push Yourself Harder

Deep inside us, we know that hard work is the key to success. 【1】 Here are the rules that you can also apply to make yourself work really hard.

Practice working hard.

【2】 Therefore, if you want to be a hard worker, you must practice working hard. Practice waking up early, practice doing a lot of work, and practice working more hours. One day you will wake up and realize that you are a hard worker.

【3】

Many hard workers always have a large purpose that forces them to work. Don’t just think of buying a car or a big house because this is not a purpose strong enough to push you forward. An example of a big purpose is deciding that you are working hard so that you bring change in the lives of your friends, family, and neighborhood. A strong purpose always involves bringing a large positive change in any particular setting.

Surround yourself with hard workers.

【4】 But if you surround yourself with hardworking people, you will find yourself working hard towards your goal. Avoid friends who just want to have fun all the time. This type of friends will always discourage you when you attempt to work hard. Therefore, always surround yourself with go-getters.

Read and watch inspirational materials.

You can also push yourself harder through reading and watching inspirational material.

【5】 These materials make you work hard because they remove discouragement and assure you that you will never fail if you push yourself to the limit.

A.Have a strong purpose.

B.Find a great goal to overcome your laziness.

C.Like other skills, one has to practice it to perfect it.

D.Inspirational material makes you believe in yourself.

E.However, we always find it difficult to push ourselves harder.

F.Motivational books and videos encourage you to work harder.

G.If you surround yourself with lazy people, you will also be lazy.

【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.

Each of us has a time of the day when we’re at our best. For some, it’s the morning, and for others, the afternoon or evening. These times relate to what scientists call our circadian clock (生物鐘). 【1】

The research is the work of two authors, Aaron Schirmer and Benjamin Smarr. The pair used data from a university computer system to study the rhythms and activities of 15,000 students at Northeastern Illinois University between 2014 and 2016. They studied the data to see if there was a connection between the students’ schedules, their natural circadian clocks and their school performance.

【2】 But if students’ clock doesn’t agree with the rest of their lives, their performance was likely to suffer.

According to the study, those students who suffered from a mismatch underwent a kind of “social jet lag（時(shí)差）”. For example, some students performed best at night and therefore chose to study in the evening. But if those students had an early morning class, they often felt tired from late night studying and didn’t get the most out of the class. They might then go on to get a lower grade for exams and coursework. 【3】

The authors say mismatches between a student’s schedule and circadian clock can have a harmful effect, and not just in terms of academic performance. Social jet lag can also be bad for students’ health.

The authors don’t claim their study proves anything, but they do say that it provides food for thought for school administrators, who might like to think about special ways to help students who suffer on account of their schedules. 【4】

A.In addition, the findings alerted parents to their children’s sleeping patterns.

B.The study found that the closer a student’s schedule and their circadian clock, the better their grades were.

C.All students in the study suffered some degree of social jet lag, but late-night studiers suffered the most.

D.The clock genes create circadian rhythms in the body, which help control the timing of a variety of biological changes.

E.The findings could also help everyone to be aware, and hopefully take advantage, of their own biological rhythms to lead a healthy life.

F.Now, a new study suggests that the relationship between students’ circadian clocks and their study schedules can have a big effect on their grades.

Science fiction often presents us with planets that speak a single language. However,【1】 humans can express themselves in several thousand languages is a delight. Few would welcome the loss of this variety, and, along with it, a multiplicity of nations and cultures.

Unfortunately, the days 【2】 English shares the planet with thousands of other languages are numbered. A traveler to the future is likely to notice two things about the language landscape of Earth. One, there will be vastly fewer languages. Two, languages will be 【3】 (complicated) than they are today.

By 2115, it’s possible that only about 600 languages will be left on the planet as opposed to today’s 6,000. Too often, colonization has led to the disappearance of languages: Native speakers are punished 【4】 using their own languages. Urbanization has only furthered the destruction by bringing people away from their homelands to cities where a single language dominates.

In addition, it is easy for speakers to associate larger languages with opportunities and smaller ones with backwardness. Consequently, people stop passing on smaller languages to their children.

There are diligent efforts 【5】 (keep) endangered languages from dying. Sadly, few are likely to lead to communities’ 【6】 (raise) children in the languages, which is the only way the languages exist as their full selves.

Instead, many communities create new versions of the languages, with smaller vocabularies and simpler grammar. The Irish Gaelic (蓋爾語(yǔ)) proudly spoken by today’s English-Gaelic bilinguals is an example, something that one might call a “New Gaelic.”

Linguists have no single term yet for these new speech varieties, 【7】 from Germany’s “Kiezdeutsch” to Singapore’s “Singlish,” the world is witnessing the birth of more optimized versions of old languages. This simplification should not be taken as a sign of decline. All of the “optimized” languages remain full languages in every sense of the term.

We 【8】 regret the eclipse of a world where 6,000 different languages 【9】 (speak), but fortunately, it seems a decent amount of linguistic diversity will be preserved. Besides, 【10】 languages become easier to pick up, the future may promise even more mutual comprehension.

【題目】 The age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on us in many different ways.

It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we don't really have to remember much of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People aren't digging through their brains anymore to find answers. Here's the good news: we can still exercise our long-term memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we don't want to go down that road, we can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of an enemy.

It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our minds. This idea of instant satisfaction carries through to many other aspects of our lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful meditations (沉思).Focus on our breath and realize everything doesn't have to move at lightening speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on our Pandora, too!

It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day? Whether we're doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing a research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we haven't used Baidu Drive, we should. Keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings exactly where we can easily find them. Keep a running list of websites we know we'll revisit.

Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we don't have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp and don't let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu god's bidding.

【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat”?

A.at one pointB.in no timeC.in a wayD.at a loss

【2】Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?

A.We depend on ourselves too much.

B.We can't get everything with Baidu.

C.We can't get quick services in real life.

D.We get used to Baidu's quick convenience.

【3】What is the author's advice on saving time online?

A.Using Baidu Drive.

B.Keeping papers correctly.

C.Being efficient with work.

D.Emptying websites records timely.

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A.The side effects of Baidu and solutions.

B.The advantages and functions of Baidu.

C.The technology and influence of the Internet.

D.The disadvantages and risks of the Internet.
