【題目】

A. experiments B. harmful C. value D. designed E. finally

Scientists have invented a font (字體) called Sans Forgetica. It is back-slanted (反斜的) and there are openings in each letter. So what’s the 【1】 of this reader --unfriendly font?

In fact, Sans Forgetica is the first font which is 【2】 to help people remember things. Its designer Steven Brian said, “The unexpected obstacles (障礙) slow your reading speed down. They make your brain work harder. It should be easier for you to remember what you are doing” Scientists have tested Sans Forgetica on 4,400 students in online 【3】.They said they were satisfied with the result.

However. scientists say that teachers should not print all reading materials in the font. If students read everything in this font, their brains will get too comfortable again. They will 【4】 ignore the key points.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】E

【解析】

文章介紹了科學家發(fā)明了一種叫做Sans Forgetica的字體，這是第一種幫助人們記住事物的字體，介紹了科學實驗的結(jié)果以及如果學生使用這個字體有什么不好。

【1】句意：關于這個對讀者不友好的字體的價值是什么？

根據(jù)句意理解及后句In fact, Sans Forgetica is the first font which is ___2___ to help people remember things.可知，這里表達的是“價值”，英語是value，故選C。

【2】句意：事實上，Sans-Forgetica是第一種幫助人們記住事物的字體。

根據(jù)句意理解及句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知，這里是一個定語從句，先行詞是font，而這里表達的是“設計這樣的字體是為了……”，英語中“設計”是design，而先行詞與動詞之間是被動關系，所以用被動結(jié)構(gòu)，空格前有is，所以這里直接用過去分詞，故選D。

【3】句意：科學家們在4400名學生身上進行了在線實驗。

根據(jù)句意理解及句中Scientists have tested Sans Forgetica on 4,400 students可知，這里表達的是“在線實驗”，英語中“實驗”是experiment，是一個可數(shù)名詞，這里指的是不止一個實驗，所以應該用復數(shù)形式，故選A。

【4】句意：他們最終會忽略關鍵點。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句If students read everything in this font, their brains will get too comfortable again.可知，這里表達的是“最終”，英語是finally，是一個副詞，在句中修飾動詞ignore，故選E。

【題目】 A Welcoming Way to Show China to the World

Modern life is not easy and full of stress. It will be nicer to get away from all the noise and congestion（擁擠）and live a simpler life in the countryside. This is what popular vlogger（網(wǎng)絡視頻錄制者）Li Ziqi did.

Li was raised on a farm by her grandparents, but at the age of 14 she left the farm to work in the city. However, she found that city life was d【1】 and decided to move back to the countryside. “When I worked in the city, it was only about survival,” she said, “In the countryside, I am t【2】living.”

When Li was back, she began making videos about her daily life and posting them to the Internet. She now has more than 20 million followers on Sina Weibo and over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Her fans admire the way she makes e【3】 by herself: growing food and preparing traditional Chinese dishes, cutting down bamboo and making furniture, dyeing（染色）cloth and making her own clothes. The videos are beautifully made, but Li says she hopes her videos can provide people with e【4】 as well as fun. “I want people in the city to know where their food comes from. Some children b【5】 rice grows on trees!”

The idyllic（田園詩般的）countryside life Li shows has the magical power of making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When we talk about Chinese culture, the first things that come to many people might be bullet trains, 5G technology and fast-developing cities. However, it is actually the more traditional side of China that is much more a【6】 to people from other cultures. Through her videos, Li lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making works of a【7】 out of even the simplest materials — this is definitely a way to show China to the world.

【題目】 Unlike students in China, Canadian high school students usually have lots of free time, especially during weekends, since Canadian teachers often give little homework. So how do Canadian teenagers spend their weekends? Well, volunteering makes up most of their free time.

In Canada, volunteering is a quite common thing among people of all ages, as they believe that being helpful is one of the most important qualities to have. There are many kinds of volunteer work. Chances to help are everywhere, including in schools, shopping malls, or even people's gardens.

Now, I'm volunteering for a charity (慈善機構(gòu)). My job is to help the teachers at the charity's Chinese language school. I teach in a preschool class, where students are aged from 3 to 6.

When I first started, I was quite nervous as I'd never worked with little kids before.

Then, as time went on, I became more familiar with the students. One teacher asked me to help the youngest girl in the class draw a picture based on the word "grateful". As I was drawing and talking with her, I felt warm and peaceful and suddenly realized that it was not that difficult to work with children. When the class was over, I breathed out deeply, feeling really excited and even a little bit proud of what I'd done.

Volunteering gives us a chance to change someone's life, including our own. It gives us the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteering is also a great way to give back to society while developing social skills and meaningful experience for the days ahead. That's also the reason why Canaan high school students have to volunteer for at least 40 hours in order to graduate. I think helping other always good.

【1】Canadian students spend their weekends quite different from Chinese students.

【2】It's normal for Canadians to offer help in different places.

【3】Now, the writer is volunteering to teach the kids in a primary school.

【4】The writer managed to help a girl in the class, and the teacher was very satisfied.

【5】40 hours' volunteer work is one of the requirement for high school graduation in Canada.
