Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.‎ After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.‎ I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class—we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”．‎ It was like small town America didn’t exist.‎ And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？” And this man was speechless.‎ I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.‎ This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement. I want to reverse that movement.‎ Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.‎ ‎4．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home?‎ A．Secure.　　　　　　　　　 B．Fragile.‎ C．Promising. D．Bright.‎ ‎5．What did the author find in his college classroom?‎ A．Students chatted freely.‎ B．Countryside was ignored.‎ C．He was looked down upon.‎ D．Students concentrated on education.‎ ‎6．How would the author feel about the professor’s reaction?‎ A．It’s emotional. B．It’s natural.‎ C．It’s positive. D．It’s disappointing.‎ ‎7．What is the author doing now?‎ A．Teaching in a college.‎ B．Fighting for the movement.‎ C．Working with the professor.‎ D．Devoting himself to his hometown.‎ C ‎(2019·石家庄一模)CocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community(社区) 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.‎ ‎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.‎ ‎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.‎ ‎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.‎ ‎11．What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?‎ A．Promising.　　　　　　　B．Difficult.‎ C．Pioneering. D．Costly.‎ D ‎ (2019·福建三校联考)“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减) over time，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.‎ ‎“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they’re part of a team，” Bendersky says. “On a team you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”‎ ‎“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing ‎ ‎100%，” Bendersky says.‎ ‎“So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player，” Bendersky says.‎ Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.‎ ‎“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.‎ ‎“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”‎ What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.‎ ‎12．What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?‎ A．They are good listeners.‎ B．They are good at cooperating.‎ C．They often make great contributions.‎ D．They tend to perform well in interviews.‎ ‎13．Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in paragraph 3?‎ A．Trusting others.‎ B．Making good choices.‎ C．Doing their full share of work.‎ D．Trying to share their thoughts.‎ ‎14．What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?‎ A．Critical.　　　　　　　 B．Tolerant.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Approving.‎ ‎15．What does Wilkins advise managers to do?‎ A．Promote more introverts.‎ B．Learn to work more efficiently.‎ C．Encourage introverts to speak up.‎ D．Avoid conflict among employees.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎(2019·石家庄质量检测)I just counted how many foreign languages I’ve studied so far in my life and it’s been twelve!‎ I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I’m already interested in. I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. 16.________. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don’t have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.‎ Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language you’re learning. 17.________， they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally, I’m so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English, so this one doesn’t really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I’m super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. 18.________．‎ When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I’m comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I’m actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. 19.________. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting selfsatisfied, it’s time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.‎ ‎20．________. The best language class I’ve ever taken was my beginner’s Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.‎ A．That’s really uncomfortable B．Whatever languages they’re translated into C．I also try to think in the language I’m learning D．It’s time well spent if I’m learning the language E．Computer games always make me feel worn out F．Though they don’t always exactly match what’s being said G．I found them the perfect learning tool because they’re usually written in oral language 阅读提速练(五)‎ 阅读理解 第一节 ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四个出租公寓的相关情况。‎ ‎1．B　解析：细节理解题。根据Apartment Levant in Komiža部分中的“gives you a full view of Komiža bay as well as the neighbouring island of Biševo”可知，这个公寓可以让租客有机会欣赏到整个Komiža湾(的景色)，故B项正确。‎ ‎2．C　解析：细节理解题。根据Apartment Domina部分第三句中的“a satellite TV and the free Web access”可知，这个公寓提供免费的网络使用权，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．D　解析：细节理解题。根据Apartment Tonka部分第二句中的“It offers two bedrooms”和Pearl of Issa 部分第一句中的“This twobedroom apartment”可知，这两个公寓都提供两个卧室。‎ ‎【长难句分析】　It consists of two bedrooms, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a dining room and a resting area with a sofa, which can be used as an extra sleeping place for one person, a bathroom and a balcony with comfortable garden furniture and barbecue equipment.‎ 分析：这是一个复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“a sofa”；“fully equipped”是过去分词短语作定语，修饰“modern kitchen”。‎ 译文：它由两间卧室、一个设备齐全的现代厨房、一个餐厅、一个带有可以作为一个人额外睡眠场所的沙发的休息区、一个浴室和一个带有舒适花园家具和烧烤设备的阳台组成。‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文作者通过自己的大学生活经历以及在一次教育会议上与一位教授进行交流的故事说明了美国的乡村正在逐渐被人遗忘的现象，作者也由此决定帮助乡村中的年轻人。‎ ‎4．B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.”可知，在美国的乡村，年轻人的就业前景并不稳定，成功和机会都在别处。故选B项。‎ ‎5．B　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“And when I had conversations with these students...it was always ‘urban this’ and ‘urban that’．”和第四段“It was like small town America didn’t exist.”可知，作者在他的大学课堂中发现大家总是探讨与城市相关的问题，就好像乡村在美国不存在一样。也就是说，乡村被人们忽视了。故选B项。‎ ‎6．D　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.”可知，作者在教授对于自己提出的有关乡村的问题无言以对时，意识到像自己家乡那样的乡村被人们遗忘了。由此可推知，作者对此感到失望。故选D项。‎ ‎7．D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After graduating from a high school in Helena”可知，作者的家乡在海伦娜，再根据最后一段“Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.”可知，作者现在在家乡教书，帮助家乡的年轻人，为家乡作贡献。故选D项。‎ ‎【解题导语】　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．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“CocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to ‘help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community(社区) at a time’．”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．A　解析：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．C　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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，告诉他们什么能回收利用，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．A　解析：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。‎ ‎【长难句分析】　CocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community(社区) at a time”．‎ 分析：该句为主从复合句。句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词CocaCola，which在从句中作主语；that引导宾语从句，该从句作announced的宾语。‎ 译文：据报道，可口可乐公司在2017年生产了300多万吨的塑料包装；该公司宣布要“每次一个社区地帮助解决世界上的塑料垃圾问题”。‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。虽然性格外向的人会给面试官留下良好的第一印象，但是他们常不善于合作，没有团队精神；而性格内向的人则工作努力，顾及别人的感受，性格随和。公司在招聘人才时，应当注意不同性格的人的特点。‎ ‎12．D　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减) over time.”可知，性格外向的人往往在面试中会给面试官留下良好的第一印象，故D项正确。‎ ‎13．C　解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者) ‎ work hard on a team because they care what others think of them.”可知，内向的人在团队中努力工作，因为他们在意别人对他们的看法。结合画线词所在的句子“They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing 100%”可知，他们不想被视为没有尽到自己的本分或没有做出全部贡献。据此可推知，画线词意为“尽本分”，故C项正确。‎ ‎14．D　解析：观点态度题。根据第三段可知，Bendersky认为内向者在团队中工作努力；又根据第五段中的“Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees”可知，Su赞同并表示管理者应该认识到内向员工的长处。据此可知，Su赞同Bendersky的观点。D项意为“赞成的，同意的”，故D项正确。A项意为“批评的，批判的”，B项意为“宽容的”，C项意为“怀疑的”，都与语境不符。‎ ‎15．C　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice”并结合该段其他内容可知，Wilkins建议管理者鼓励内向的人勇于表达自己的观点，为团队提供自己的意见，故C项正确。‎ ‎【长难句分析】　“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减) over time，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.‎ 分析：句中“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews”为while引导的让步状语从句。‎ 译文：管理学副教授Corinne Bendersky说：“虽然外向的人在面试中经常以外向的态度和活泼的性格给人留下很好的第一印象，但他们的价值和在工作中的声誉却会随着时间的推移而下降。”‎ 第二节 ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。“我”一共学习过十二种语言，在学习语言的过程中“我”尝试过各种各样的方法。‎ ‎16．G　解析：根据空后一句“For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don’t have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.”可知，通常，博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写；据此可推知，“我”发现博客是学习语言的好工具，因为它们常常是用口语来写的，故G项正确。‎ ‎17．F　解析：根据该句中的“they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language”并结合常识可推知，电影中的字幕虽然有时和所说的话不是很一致，但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看， 故F项与此处匹配。‎ ‎18．D　解析：根据空处前两句“A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I’m super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours.”可知，许多语言学习电脑程序中包括游戏。“我”是非常有竞争力的，如果“我”玩任何一个，“我”‎ 都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知，如果“我”在学习这门语言，花费的时间是值得的，故D项符合语境。‎ ‎19．A　解析：根据空处前两句“The hardest bit for me is when I’m comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I’m actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.”可知，对“我”来说，最难的部分是当“我”足够自信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时“我”确实被困于这种状态了。据此可推知，那让“我”感到很不舒服，故A项正确。‎ ‎20．C　解析：根据空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的主题句；根据该段中的“It got to the point where...with the limited Russian I had.”可知，“我”回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受。据此可推知，该段主要介绍“我”也使用“我”正在学的语言来进行思考，故C项正确。‎
