The competition will include young women from around the world representing their countries. But one South American country, Chile, will not be represented by a native Chilean. Instead, Andrea Diaz, a native of Venezuela (委内瑞拉) will have that honor.‎ Diaz grew up in Valencia, Venezuela. She began training as a model at age 12 at a school there. At 19, she won a pageant organized by her town's baseball team. As Diaz moved along her career path, she also moved away from home. She went first to Panama, and later to Mexico, for modeling jobs. In 2015, she settled in Chile, where most of her family members now live. The 27yearold woman told the reporter, “I represent the new Chile. This is an inclusive (包容广阔的) country where immigrants come in search of opportunities.”‎ Thousands of people leave Venezuela each day to escape a lack of food and medicine in the country. Its economic crisis (危机) has created an almost 1 million percent inflation (通货膨胀) rate. Many beauty pageant hopefuls have left Venezuela and have found work in modeling and media fields. Diaz is one of several Venezuelan beauty pageant competitors representing countries other than their homeland.‎ A recent Miss Earth pageant had two Venezuelan models who competed for other countries, including Jessica Russo. Russo represented Peru just one year after moving to the country. She said, “My dream of being a beauty queen is not going to stop just because I arrived in a new country.” The 22yearold competitor did not make it into the Miss Earth finals. But she is not giving up. She says she hopes to one day win a competition for Peru, the country where her mother was born.‎ 语篇解读：委内瑞拉的经济危机造成通货膨胀及食物和医药短缺，人们的生活十分贫困，因此许多人到异国他乡追求梦想。本文讲述了委内瑞拉女孩参加选美比赛追求梦想的故事。‎ ‎4．Who can take part in the beauty pageant held in Bangkok, Thailand?‎ A．Only young women from Chile.‎ B．Only young women from the university in Venezuela.‎ C．Young women from Venezuela.‎ D．Young women from all over the world.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The competition will include young women from around the world ...”可知，来自世界各国的女士都可以参加这次比赛。故选D项。‎ ‎5．What nationality is Diaz now?‎ A．Chile. B．Venezuela.‎ C．Panama. D．Mexico.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 2015, she settled in Chile, where most of her family members now live.”可知，现在迪亚斯的国籍是智利。故选A项。‎ ‎6．What can be inferred from the third paragraph?‎ A．Economic situation in Venezuela is becoming better and better.‎ B．Women in Venezuela have to work as models in their country.‎ C．Venezuelan beauty competitors have to represent other countries.‎ D．Venezuelan beauty hopefuls have found work in educational fields.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。文章第三段介绍了委内瑞拉的经济危机及其引起的通货膨胀、食物和药品短缺等问题，这使得许多选美有望成功的参赛者离开了自己的国家。根据该段最后一句“Diaz is one of several Venezuelan beauty pageant competitors representing countries other than their homeland.”可以推知，委内瑞拉选美参赛者不得不代表其他国家参加选美比赛。故选C项。‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “it” mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．Her dream of being a beauty queen.‎ B．Not giving up.‎ C．The place where her mother was born.‎ D．Moving to a new country.‎ 解析：选A　代词指代题。根据最后一段第三句中的“My dream of being a beauty queen is not going to stop”‎ ‎，再联系该段最后三句可知，这位22岁的参赛者没有在环球小姐决赛中实现梦想，此处it指成为选美皇后的这个梦想。故选A项。‎ C ‎(2019·石家庄一模)CocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wants to “help fix the world's plastic waste problem one community at a time”．‎ The soda giant is doing so by providing $5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.‎ ‎“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of CocaCola employees，” Carlos Pagoaga, CocaCola's group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions，” he added. “We hope the learning from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”‎ As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the CocaCola company's headquarters are based, will ‎ send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can't recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.‎ ‎“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U．S. today are lack of access and the pollution in recycling，” Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”‎ Last year, CocaCola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. It also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。可口可乐公司宣布将帮助解决世界上的塑料垃圾问题，该公司将联合其他组织一起实施塑料垃圾回收利用计划。‎ ‎8．What does CocaCola company intend to do in the program?‎ A．Produce less packaging.‎ B．Help deal with plastic waste.‎ C．Pick up waste in communities.‎ D．Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，可口可乐公司计划帮助解决塑料垃圾问题，故B项正确。‎ ‎9．What's paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A．How CocaCola conducts its program.‎ B．What organizations participate in the program.‎ C．How CocaCola chooses cities for the program.‎ D．What the local people do in CocaCola's program.‎ 解析：选A　段落大意题。通读第二段内容可知，该段主要介绍了可口可乐公司实施该计划的过程：给各大城市的回收利用项目提供资金，这些城市的合作伙伴收到资金后将一起合作来提高回收利用率，故A项正确。‎ ‎10．What do street teams do to help?‎ A．Sort out all kinds of waste in the city.‎ B．Look into the cause of pollution.‎ C．Instruct local people what to recycle.‎ D．Hand cards to the locals in person.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can't recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.”可知，将派出街道队伍去打开回收利用车，给市民留下卡片，告诉他们什么可以回收利用，什么不能回收利用，并让他们知道他们的努力是如何起作用的；据此可知，街道队伍帮助指导当地市民要回收利用什么样的垃圾，故C项正确。‎ ‎11．What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?‎ A．Promising. B．Difficult.‎ C．Pioneering. D．Costly.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第五段尾句“We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”可知，他认为从2017年亚特兰大的成功案例可知，公民想回收利用塑料垃圾并且在街道上与他们进行沟通是有作用的；据此可推知，他认为该项目是有希望的；A项意为“有前途的，有希望的”，故A项正确。‎ D ‎(2019·安徽省重点中学盟校高三联考)One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.‎ To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly.‎ ‎“It's such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people aren't doing ‎ it, and it's resulting in actual deaths — which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method，” said Issar.‎ As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don't spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children's hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.‎ Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they're drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a onesecond wash and off.‎ Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了SoaPen。SoaPen是一款画笔样式的液态洗手产品，孩子们可用它在手上涂抹然后洗手，如果他们没有花足够的时间洗手，颜色会留在他们的手上，这会让洗手充满乐趣。‎ ‎12．Why does SoaPen come into existence?‎ A．To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.‎ B．To teach kids the importance of soap.‎ C．To help kids wash their hands correctly.‎ D．To make money from children consumers.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段的“One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough.”可知，问题是孩子们洗手的频率不够或洗手的时间不够长；再联系第二段的“aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly”可知，发明SoaPen的目的在于让孩子们养成良好的洗手习惯，由此可知选项C正确。‎ ‎13．Which of the following does Issar agree with?‎ A．Handwashing is anything but little.‎ B．SoaPen is designed for classrooms.‎ C．Some teachers ignore kids' health in school.‎ D．Kids don't know the right way of handwashing.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段Issar的话“It's such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people aren't doing it, and it's resulting in actual deaths”可知，有些人因为没有养成良好的洗手习惯而死亡，由此可知，洗手习惯对我们的健康是至关重要的，故选A项。‎ ‎14．What does “obliterate” underlined in paragraph 5 mean?‎ A．Show. B．Reserve.‎ C．Learn. D．Remove.‎ 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据该段的“Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they're drawing on their hands.”可知，孩子们需要用足够的时间去洗手才能洗掉SoaPen的图案，再由画线词后的内容可知，为了消除SoaPen留在手上的痕迹，孩子们不再只是匆匆洗手了。由此可知，画线词与remove意思相近，故选D项。‎ ‎15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．SoaPen has become popular worldwide.‎ B．The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.‎ C．SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.‎ D．Kids' health should be paid more attention to.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据该段的“Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help ... across the globe.”可知，发明者表示SoaPen将在世界各地生产，这也会促进在全球推广好的洗手习惯，她们对SoaPen的未来有信心，由此可知选项B正确。‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎(2019·成都第二次诊断)Twentyfive years of experience in the field have convinced me that many people who consider themselves to be highly intelligent are not necessarily good thinkers. __16__ There are ‎ many aspects of this trap but I shall mention just two.‎ A highly intelligent person can take a view on a subject and then use his or her intelligence to defend that view. __17__ When a person has a better defence of the view, he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else. __18__ As a result, many highly intelligent minds are trapped in poor ideas because they can defend them so well.‎ A second aspect of the intelligence trap is that a person, who has grown up with the notion that he or she is more intelligent than those around, wants to get the most satisfaction from that intelligence. __19__ Such a strategy gives you an immediate result and also establishes your superiority. Being constructive is much less rewarding. It may take years to show that a new idea works. __20__ So it is obvious that being critical and destructive is a much more appealing use of intelligence. This is made even worse by the absurd Western notion that critical thinking is enough.‎ A．They get caught in the intelligence trap.‎ B．But why are intelligent people not good thinkers?‎ C．Intelligent people always enjoy arguing with others.‎ D．You also have to depend on the listener liking your idea.‎ E．A person with higher intelligence always defends one's view better.‎ F．The quickest and most reliable way is to prove someone else ‎ wrong.‎ G．If you know that you are right, why should you do either of those things?‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了两个常见的高智商误区。‎ ‎16．选A　承接上文中的“highly intelligent”并和空后一句中的“trap”呼应可推知，自以为高智商的人会陷入智商误区，故选A项。‎ ‎17．选E　根据空前一句“A highly intelligent person can take a view on a subject and then use his or her intelligence to defend that view.”可知，高智商的人会更好地维护自己的观点，与下文中的“When a person has a better defence of the view”呼应，故选E项。‎ ‎18．选G　根据空前的“he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else”可知，当一个人能更好地维护自己的观点时，其就不会去找其他方法或去聆听别人，故G项符合语境。‎ ‎19．选F　根据空后一句“Such a strategy gives you an immediate result and also establishes your superiority.”可推知，这种策略立竿见影，与选项F中的“The quickest and most reliable way”呼应，故F项符合语境。‎ ‎20．选D　根据空后的“So”可推知，空处与空前一句“It may take years to show that a new idea works.”为顺承关系，继续说明建设性观点的劣势所在，故选D项。‎
