As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.‎ I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.‎ And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”‎ Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.‎ I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.‎ ‎24. What disappointed the driver?‎ A. The author’s attitude towards him.‎ B. The school that the author is attending.‎ C. The author’s majors in history and literature.‎ D. The author’s interests in African American studies.‎ ‎25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. wasting. B. creating. C. valuing. D. seizing.‎ ‎26. Why are immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers?‎ A. Their parents want them to move upward in society.‎ B. Their parents are high achieving as well.‎ C. They have more opportunities.‎ D. They are very smart in general.‎ ‎27. How did the author react to the driver’s questioning?‎ A. Getting upset. B. Feeling satisfied.‎ C. Defending herself. D. Appreciating his concern.‎ C ‎【山东省青岛市2019届高三第一次模拟考试】During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”‎ Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000 – more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants – and 63% of the population cycle daily.‎ But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”‎ Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.‎ Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury(评审员)member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.‎ She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come ‎ up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”‎ Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”‎ ‎28. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?‎ A. To teach children how to ride.‎ B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.‎ C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.‎ D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.‎ ‎29. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?‎ A. Important. B. Unnecessary. C. Difficult. D. Valuable.‎ ‎30. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?‎ A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.‎ B. She has won a contest about cycling.‎ C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.‎ D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.‎ ‎31. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?‎ A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.‎ C Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.‎ The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The center’s management team said: “the lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught ‎ in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”‎ The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.‎ Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”‎ The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters”－the 31 percent of shoppers who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers”－the 51 percent of customers who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers”－the 11 percent who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters”－the l5 percent who express their frustrations to slow walkers.‎ ‎32. The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who .‎ A. can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities B. buy things on their shopping lists quickly C. take their time to do window shopping D. want to leave the mall quickly ‎33. What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?‎ A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Objective.‎ ‎34. Who patiently moves behind a slow crowd?‎ A. Skaters. B. Dodgers. C. Bulldozers. D. Tutters.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Shopping can be annoying sometimes.‎ B. How to avoid “slow walkers” when shopping.‎ C. The problems that shopping centers face during busy holidays.‎ D. The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid “slow walkers”.‎ 第二节 （共5小题; 每小题2 分，满分10分）‎ I think it is safe to say that happiness is the king of emotions. Everyone wants to talk about how to get it, ways to prolong it and the benefits associated with it. Not surprisingly, negative emotions are considered to be bad. 36. But bad feelings can be a valuable way to arouse you to take action. In fact, they can be a surprising source of personal growth by doing the following things.‎ ‎● Recognize what you are feeling. There are going to be times when the negative emotions are just temporary. 37. However, if it happens on a frequent basis, your mind is trying to tell you something and you need to handle it.‎ ‎●38. Once you recognize the negative emotion you are feeling, you need to understand just what is behind it. The trouble is that often the cause of your bad feelings might be hard to see. Is it your home life, work, friends, unrealized dreams or various other frustrations? Take your time figuring it out and get to the root of what is causing the negative emotion.‎ ‎● Take correct action. In some cases, it might be easy. If someone consistently makes you angry, you can just avoid them. In many other cases, you might need to take even bolder(大胆的) action. 39. Hopefully you have a different opinion on negative emotions now. They are not things designed to only make your life miserable. 40. ‎ A. Understand the causes.‎ B. Action is the real cause of pain.‎ C. Acknowledge your true feelings.‎ D. They are to be avoided at all costs.‎ E. What they really are is a signal for change.‎ F. Everyone feels a little down every once in a while.‎ G. An example of that would be ending a failing marriage or quitting your job.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ I first started writing in the summer of 1998. Back then I was a teacher.

She couldn’t wait to be home. The autumn cold wind was bad, but it was not nearly as hard to bear as the cold she felt in her heart.‎ She couldn’t forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts divided the class into groups to do presentations. Each person in the group would speak for five minutes in front of the class. Today was Dora’s turn. Her legs trembled all the way to the front of the classroom. Her hands shook so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. As Dora spoke, her voice became softer. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Dora’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He also asked Dora to stay for a moment after class.‎ ‎“Dora, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr. Roberts suggested, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?”‎ Dora nodded. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.‎ Arriving home, she found Mom baking in the kitchen. When Mom baked, Dora always watched and chatted with her. Mom always said it was Dora’s company that made her baked goods taste so sweet. Mom studied Dora’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Dora?”‎ Tears shone in Dora’s eyes. She told the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your classmates?” Mom asked, sliding the round cake pans into the oven. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Dora followed Mom to her room. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ The next day Dora again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案解析】‎ 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）‎ ‎1—5 BCABC 6—10 CBCAA 11—15 CBCAA 16—20 BCACB ‎【答案】21-23 BDC ‎【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了北京四家特别的饭店。‎ ‎21. 词义猜测题。根据下文中的“in an otherwise buzzing metropolis”可知secluded与buzzing（嘈杂的）词义相反，故划线部分意思为“平静的”故选B。‎ ‎22. 细节理解题。根据Kyoto Kaden Minokichl Kaiseki-Ryoii in Pangu Hotel中的“Kyoto Kaden Minokichi Kaiseki-Ryori is undoubtedly the most expensive restaurant in the city”可知Kyoto Kaden Minokichi Kaiseki-Ryori是北京最贵的餐馆。故正确答案为D。‎ ‎23. 推理判断题。根据China Grill的“People come for food but stay for the view...China Grill ‎ offers an unparalleled view of Beijing landscape.”可在用餐时可以欣赏北京的景色，是China Grill的特色，故选C项。‎ ‎【答案】24-27 CAAD ‎【解析】文章主要讲述了不要因别人的质问而怀疑自己选择的专业。‎ ‎24. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add ‘and African-American studies’ before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, ‘All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?’ ”可以推断出，司机对作者主修历史和文学感到很失望。故选C。‎ ‎25. 词义猜测题。由这位优步移民司机先自豪，然后失望以及接着对我的教训这一情感变化的线索可以推测出，他是认为“我”浪费了一个人生中最大的机会。故可以猜测出squandering为“浪费”之意。故选A。‎ ‎26. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.”可知，他们的父母希望他们在社会上向上发展，而这些职业在社会上有地位，更能向上流动。故选A。‎ ‎27. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.”可以推断出，作者对司机的关心还是很感激的。故选D。‎ ‎【答案】28-31 BBCB ‎【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了阿姆斯特丹市去年任命九岁的洛特·克罗克为少年自行车市长的目的以及洛特·克罗克为确保儿童骑自行车更安全所采取的努力。这样成功的例子受到了全世界的好评并被积极效仿。‎ ‎28. 推理判断题。由第四段“Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme”可知，去年6月，Lotta获得了一场比赛的冠军，她成为了少年自行车市长。在这场比赛中，学校的孩子们要提出让骑自行车更安全、更有趣的计划。她的想法是将儿童自行车添加到流行的自行车共享计划中。故判断出阿姆斯特丹任命了一位少年自行车市长的目的就是确保儿童骑自行车更安全。故B选项正确。‎ ‎29. 词义猜测题。由第二段“You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000—more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily”‎ 可知，在一个被称为世界自行车之都的城市里，你会认为这个困难是多余的。阿姆斯特丹的自行车数量估计为81000辆，比该市的85万居民多，占每天骑自行车数量的63%。所以Unnecessary“没必要的”最能代替第2段中带下划线的“superfluous”的意思。故B选项正确。‎ ‎30. 细节理解题。由第五段“Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member”可知，自从Lotta被任命为自行车市长以来，她一直很忙，接受采访，在该市举行自行车比赛，并担任评审员。故C选项正确。‎ ‎31. 推理判断题。由最后段“I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”可知，我和父母交谈，Lotta和孩子们交谈。如果你用一个孩子的眼光来看待这座城市，你也会让其他人去接近它。一个对8岁孩子有益的城市，对88岁的老人也是有益的。所以通过Boerma所说话的内容可以判断出，Boerm对少年自行车市长持支持的态度。故B。‎ ‎【答案】32-35 BDAD ‎【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要写了，针对圣诞节期间的客流量，购物中心创造快速车道避免“慢行者”，并针对这一现象进行了讨论。‎ ‎32. 细节理解题。根据第一段“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”（但现在，英国最大的购物中心之一埃塞克斯的湖畔购物中心(Lakeside Shopping Centre)为匆忙的购物者推出了自己的“快车道”，旨在帮助没有耐心的购物者避开走得慢的人以及随之而来的愤怒。）可知“快车道”是专为那些快速购物的人设计的。故选B。‎ ‎33. 推理判断题。根据文中Gary Mortimer说的话：“I think the fast lanes are a novel approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”我认为快车道是一种新颖的方法。但是，我怀疑它会有点像高速公路上的快车道，所以它可能最终比设计初衷更麻烦。可见他对于fast lane的评价是客观的，既说出它的优点也指出了它可能存在的问题，所以答案选D。‎ ‎34. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They include ‘Skaters’—the 31 percent of shoppers who try and make their way through crowds politely”,可见Skaters是礼貌地试着穿过人群，即比较耐心。所以答案选A。‎ ‎35. 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers—and the rage that goes with them.”是本文的主旨句，购物中心创造快速车道避开“慢行者”，所以答案选D。‎ 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2 分，满分10分）‎ ‎【答案】36.

Consuming 69. with 70. to pay 书面表达 Dear Smith, ‎ I’m Li Hua, a student in China. Knowing that you are eager to learn something more about Mobile Payment in China, I deeply welcome the opportunity to give you a brief introduction about it. ‎ As you know, Mobile Payment has been a tendency in China. On the one hand, its convenience as well as efficiency makes it possible for us to take with us only a mobile phone rather than much cash, which saves us much time and trouble. On the other hand, Mobile Payment is widely used in our daily life, like paying bills, booking tickets and so on. In a word, Mobile Payment is used in nearly everything and has really changed our life. ‎ I will greatly appreciate it if my introduction can make you have a clear idea of Mobile Payment. ‎ Kind regards. ‎ Yours sincerely, ‎ Li Hua 读后续写 ‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Dora followed Mom to her room. There was a box at the foot of the bed. Mom dug around for a minute and pulled out a blue ribbon that said “First Place.” “I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy because I was a very timid girl. But I worked hard, and mostly I overcame my fears. You just need to find your courage.” At that time, Dora seemed to know what she should do tomorrow.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ The next day Dora again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. She could feel herself becoming nervous once again. Earlier that morning before school, Dora had borrowed Mom’s blue ribbon for encouragement and folded it into her front pocket to take with her. As Dora faced the class, preparing to speak, she thought of the supportive words Mom said. Dora took a deep breath and began her presentation with confidence. Today she found her courage successfully.‎ 听力录音原文 Text 1‎ W: Why not go to the Picasso exhibition at the Metro Museum this weekend?‎ M: Ah, it is not far from my house and I like Picasso, too.‎ Text 2‎ W: Are you familiar with the office management?‎ M: I’ve done something like that before.‎ W: Are you still interested in it?‎ M: I think I am.

With all the preparations for the party, I didn’t have time to make one.‎ Text 5‎ W: What do you think of the professor’s speech?‎ M: I thought it would be easy, but I was confused. He spoke too fast.‎ W: If you understood what he said, you would find it really interesting. ‎ Text 6‎ W: Tom, when are you leaving for London?

After a long trip, it’s annoying to have to wait at the hotel reception. Room service is also important. Guests often stay in their rooms working and have no time to go out to a restaurant, so they want their meals to be served in their rooms. ‎ W: And what about facilities in the hotel?‎ M: The bars are important. Business travelers tend to spend more time in the hotel bars than tourists. It’s very important to provide a business center, too.‎ W: Right. What about the distance to the airport and city center? Is that important?‎ M: Yes. We’re in the east of London, so we’re near City Airport. Lots of our guests have meetings in this area, and they don’t want to be near Heathrow Airport or right in the city center. But it’s easy to get to the center of London from here. It only takes about 15 minutes with our free bus. ‎ Text 10‎ W: Good morning! This is the English test for international students, and this is Room 405.
