The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.‎ But he’s nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should...should...”Chris trips on the “-ld,”a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.“...Vote for...me...”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.‎ A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.‎ Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.“It takes a lot for any student,”Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”‎ Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.‎ ‎“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,”Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”‎ ‎4.What made Chris nervous?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech.‎ - 9 -‎ C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question.‎ ‎5.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners.‎ C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes.‎ ‎6.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to　　　. ‎ A.help students see their own strengths B.assess students’ public speaking skills C.prepare students for their future jobs D.inspire students’ love for politics ‎7.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?‎ A.Humorous. B.Ambitious.‎ C.Caring. D.Demanding.‎ 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文,主题语境是人与社会,主题语境内容为老师与学生。文章讲述了Whaley老师关爱学生,鼓励学生发现自己的优点,增强自信的故事。本文旨在提高学生的文化意识。‎ ‎4.B　事实细节题。本题题干意为:什么使Chris紧张?根据第一段第一句(……今天是演讲日,现在轮到Chris Palaez了)和第二段第一句(但是他很紧张)可知,B项正确。A:讲故事;C:参加考试;D:回答问题。‎ ‎5.A　猜测词义题。本题题干意为:第二段中的画线单词stumbles指代什么?根据第二段中的“you should...should...”Chris trips on the “-ld,”...可知,他有些发音上的问题。又根据Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well.可知,Chris总体上很好,但是有些不合适的停顿。故A选项(不合适的停顿)正确。B:不礼貌;C:拼写错误;D:愚蠢的笑话。‎ ‎6.A　推理判断题。本题题干意为:我们可以推断出Whaley的项目的目的是　　　。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句(他想要这些孩子学会夸耀自己)可知答案为A项(帮助学生看到他们自己的优点)。B:评价学生的公众演讲技巧;C:让学生为他们未来的工作做准备;D:激励学生热爱政治。 ‎ ‎7.C　推理判断题。本题题干意为:下面哪一个词最能描述Whaley作为一个老师所具有的品质? 根据第二段他低声耳语支持学生、第五段中他想让学生夸耀自己和第六段中他认为夸耀自己 - 9 -‎ 和自己最好的品质对一个没有自信的孩子是很难的,可知他理解、关心学生们,故选C项(关心他人的)。A:幽默的;B:有雄心的;D:苛求的,要求高的。‎ C ‎(2019闽粤赣“三省十校”高三联考)‎ Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.‎ The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”‎ Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome(基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their groundbreaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.‎ According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.‎ In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.‎ However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched ‎ - 9 -‎ on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.‎ ‎8.What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?‎ A.The type of food smells.‎ B.The logical part of the human brain.‎ C.The nature of human olfactory system.‎ D.The relationship between food and feelings.‎ ‎9.Which of the following can help people concentrate?‎ A.Bread. B.Fast food. C.Pizza. D.Coffee.‎ ‎10.What do we know from the last paragraph?‎ A.Different people are sensitive to different smells.‎ B.Every person has a different pattern of genes.‎ C.Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.‎ D.There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.‎ ‎11.What is the passage mainly about?‎ A.Logic and behavior. B.Smell and its influence.‎ C.Sense ability and food tastes. D.Olfactory genes and its system.‎ 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了嗅觉及其影响。‎ ‎8.C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their groundbreaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. 可知Richard Axel和Linda buck发现了人类嗅觉系统的本质,故选C项。‎ ‎9.D　细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.可知,柠檬和咖啡的气味能提高人的专注力,故选D项。‎ ‎10.A　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person.可知,基因控制气味的方式因人而异,故A项正确。‎ - 9 -‎ ‎11.B　主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是“嗅觉和它的影响”,故B项概括了本文的主旨。‎ D ‎ (2019辽宁辽阳一模)‎ The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the “Gaokao” exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the “National Higher Education Entrance Examination”, or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry into Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.‎ Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year,each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences.‎ The University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said,“The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century.

We are further opening access to Birmingham’s wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham.”‎ Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.‎ Professor Jon Frampton, director of the University of Birmingham China Institute said, “The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang—the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into ‎ - 9 -‎ the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham.”‎ ‎12.What do Chinese students have to do to enter the University of Birmingham before 2019?‎ A.Go through a foundation year.‎ B.Prepare for Birmingham degree programmes.‎ C.Acquire the right to permanent residency.‎ D.Score over 80% of the university’s qualification examination.‎ ‎13.Who is the announcement intended for?‎ A.The foreign students in China.‎ B.All people living in the UK.‎ C.The students of the UK.‎ D.Chinese students.‎ ‎14.Which of the following best explains “integral”underlined in paragraph 3?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Complete.
