【題目】 Desiree was only four when she lost her Dad. Instead of gradually adjusting to his death, Desiree refused to accept it and even wanted to die so as to be with her father. Concerned about her daughter, Rhonda turned to her mother, Trish Moore, for help.

November 8 of 1993 would have been Ken’s 29th birthday. So Trish advised Desiree to send her father a card. Desiree’s eyes lit up as she dictated a letter, “Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you and miss you. I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday.” Trish wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper and tied it to the end of the string on a balloon with a drawing of the Little Mermaid (美人魚). Finally, Desiree released the balloon.

On November 12 in eastern Canada, Wade MacKinnon was duck-hunting. Suddenly something in the bushes caught his eye. Curious, he approached to find a silver balloon. The letter finished with a mailing address in Live Oak, California. The balloon traveled 3,000 miles. What a coincidence! A Little Mermaid balloon landed at Mermaid Lake. To help Desiree, the MacKinnons wrote her a letter with a birthday card and an adaptation of The Little mermaid.

The MacKinnons’ package arrived later on Desiree’s birthday. The letter read, “Happy birthday from your daddy. You must be wondering who we are. Well, it all started... There are no stores in heaven, so your daddy picked us to do the shopping. We know your daddy loves you very much and wants you to be happy and not sad. Lots of love, the MacKinnons.”

Tears in eyes, Desiree said, “I knew Daddy would find a way not to forget me.” Next, Trish began to read the Little Mermaid to her, in which the mermaid was finally carried away by angels. “The mermaid goes to heaven just like Daddy!” Desiree said with delight. She understood then her father was with her always.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的November 8 of 1993 would have been Ken’s 29th birthday. So Trish advised Desiree to send her father a card.可知1993年11月8日是肯的29歲生日。所以崔西建議德西蕾給她父親寄一張卡片。所以德西蕾是在11月8日將氣球放飛。根據(jù)第三段中的On November 12 in eastem Canada, Wade MacKinnon was duck-hunting. Suddenly something …mailing address in Live Oak, California. The balloon traveled 3,000 miles.可知11月12日，在加拿大東部，一個(gè)名叫韋德·麥金的人發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個(gè)氣球，氣球飛行了3000英里。綜合可知?dú)馇蝻w了四天，飛了很長(zhǎng)的一段距離。故選A項(xiàng)。

【題目】 Earlier this year, artist Malik was about to post a selfie (自拍照）from the Brooklyn Bridge when he had the second thought. He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world.

Malik thought that the social media (媒體）had become impersonal and he wanted to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Therefore, the Reading Project was born. He began leaving piles of his books in famous New York City locations with a card containing simple instructions put inside each one: take a book, read it and share your thoughts with the artist by email.

The piles of books themselves can be seen as works of art, and so is the process (過(guò)程）of sharing. Unlike many of the things we share today, he likes to keep the project off social media. To keep the project pure (純的），he doesn’t even turn around as he walks away once he has left a pile of books. When he has left them behind, he prefers email to be the only way that he learns what happens to them. The project has now taken him — and his books — all over the world, including London.

“I hope people pick them up and I also hope they read them and let me know their feelings on them. And even if they don't let me know, I just hope they will read the books，” Malik said.

He has received thousands of messages from people in more than 30 countries all over the world. For Malik, kooks are meaningless and lifeless if they gather dust(灰塵）on a shelf and are never read again. He intends to carry on with the project for some time，with a plan to visit Brazil and then decides whether he will continue it or not.

Most of all, lie loves the connection the books give him with strangers across the world， which is something that oilier posts could never achieve,

【1】What hit Malik when he intended to post a selfie?

A.His selfie being not very attractive for a long time.

B.That social media made people close to each other.

C.His thoughts that it should be shared with more people.

D.That a new way could be used to connect with the world,

【2】Why does Malik prefer others to connect with him by email?

A.He isn’t good at talking with people face to face.

B.It is a quick way to know what happens.

C.He doesn't want to be troubles by social media.

D.He thinks people needn’t know the process of sharing.

【3】What can we infer about Malik's project from the text?

A.It won’t last long for a lack of books.

B.It was first started on Brooklyn Bridge.

C.It has improved the relation among strangers.

D.It has proved to be helpful to connect with others.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A.Read Books Offered by Malik

B.Connecting with Strangers by Sharing Books

C.Change the Relationship with Strangers

D.Make Meaningless Books Meaningful

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Are You Treated Too Nicely?

A new study found that when trying to build high self-esteem in children, parents may unconsciously be creating little narcissists (自戀狂). 【1】

Parents who are always praising their children may be trying to develop high self-esteem. 【2】 In fact, too much special treatment can lead to narcissistic behavior.

"【3】 That may not be good for them or for society." Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and professor of communication and psychology at the Ohio State University, said in a press release. "People with high self-esteem think they're as good as others, whereas narcissists think they're better than others."

This study, as well as previous studies about parent-child relationships Bushman has worked on, caused him to alter his own parenting style. When he began his research, he thought that children should be treated like they are special by their parents. 【4】 He said that interventions (干預(yù)) can help parents learn how to better support their children.

"Parent training interventions can, for example, teach parents to express affection and appreciation toward children without telling children that they are superior to others," Bushman said. "Future studies should test whether this can work."

A. Now he is careful not to follow that model.

B. Children whose parents tell them they are special are more likely to become narcissists.

C. But actually, they have realized that they are running their children.

D. Children believe it when their parents tell them that they are more special than others.

E. And he carefully carries out the principle.

F. However, the study showed that loving and emotionally warm parents are more likely to have confident kids.

There's a widely-accepted line of thinking, especially in 2019 that says the people and things we love will eventually let us down.

【題目】Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible（可改變的）standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.

Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步機(jī))and bicycle desks.

The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their position. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.

The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.

“Ikea’s height adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, ’’ said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.

B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.

C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.

D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market：

【2】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.

B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.

C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.

D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.

【3】The Stir Kinect desk______.

A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once.

B. can charge phones by using a device containing power point.

C. can tell you how many calories you need for a walk

D. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse that______.

A. Ikea’s adjustable desk will be popular with average people.

B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.

C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.

D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.
