These days are set to show love and respect for parents .They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(负责任的) persons. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer people a chance to think about the changing roles of fathers and mothers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with the child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways . On Mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one stands for the living mother.A white one shows that the mother has passed away. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days people get together at homes, as well as in the restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(野外烧烤) for Father’s Day. These are days for fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”.( )1.

It started in 1993. It not only makes us think about the importance of water, but also calls on us to __1__ and protect water. Today, we’re facing terrible water problems. Among them, the waste water problem is rather __2__. And the subject of World Water Day in 2017 is “waste water”.What is waste water? It is used water.

According to a report, over 750 million people around the world have no clean water to drinkExpert say women and girls in poor areas have to walk as far as 3.7 mile every day to get water from the communal taps (公共水龙头)which are set up by the government. What’s even worse is that the people who always go to get water are girls. And they miss most of their schooldays for this boring and hard work. The whole situation is that if they could pay for the pipes (管子), which carry the water from the communal taps, the villagers could have the water run directly to their homes.To help the villagers get the water, Damon and White came up with a good idea. Why not provide the poor people with “Water Credit”----the money lent to them that can be paid back over two years. Since the program began years ago, over 1.5 million people have borrowed money to bring pipes to their homes. According to Damon and White, over 98% of the borrowers have returned the money on time.What’s even more exciting about the program is that it has freed the women to use more time to work at real jobs and make money and the children to do what they have looked forward to doing for years----going to school regularly.1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to ?A. The climate changeB. The problem of money.C.The increase in the populationD. The problem of drinking water2. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph ?A.Girls in poor areas are in a bad situation.B. Girls in poor areas don’t want to go to school.C. Girls in poor areas often get help from the government.D. Girls in poor areas have to work hard to support the family.3.Why can’t the villagers have the water run directly to their home?A. Because there isn’t enough fresh water for them to drink.B. Because they can’t used to drinking water from the pipes.C. Because the communal taps are far away from their houses.D.Because they don’t have enough money to pay for the pipes.4.What can we know about “Water Credit”?A. It sets up more communal taps.B. It offers the poor people jobs.C. It lends money to the poor people.D. It offers fresh water to the poor people.5.What’s the best title of the passage ?A.Help children there go to schoolB. Help people there drink fresh water.C.Help women there make moneyD. Help people there use Water Creditis taking 1._______to ban(禁止) fishing for 10 years all year round from 2021. 2._______leaders gave out the rule on Wednesday.

Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was Jose Andres, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He is also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected by natural disasters and other emergencies. “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andres said. At press time, WCK had served about 300.000 meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn’t very healthy. Andres thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andres grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andres said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it’s common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves and water lines. Together, this has made schools cleaner and safer for more than 65,000 people.4.Why did Andres start WCK?A.To comfort the injured people.B. To rebuild popular restaurants.C. To provide meals for those in need.D. To teach people how to survive a natural disaster.5. What does the underlined word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Basic rules.B. Strange suggestions.C. Abilities to compete.D. Ways of saving time.6. What can be learned about WCK?A. It prefers children volunteers.B. It brings cooks a good return.C. It employs good Spanish-style cooks.D. It depends greatly on voluntary helpers.7. What does WCK bring to Haiti?A. Clean and safe cooking.B. Prepackaged meals.C. Highly-competitive schools.D. Professional and easy-going cooks.CFirst impressions are important, but are first impression correct? Personally, I’m not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I’m willing to bet (打赌) you’ve done it, too. Consider this, though: If I’d let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person’s facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman ex plained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设)come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a round face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn’t smi ley in their photo.The result showed that first impressions often aren’t all right. Look, it’s really unfortunate that first impressions aren’t always right. Still, these happen regardless of whether or not they are right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course, giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you can do is be the best person you can.8.What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck’s novel?A.First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgement at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photosC. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One’s facial appearance is really important.11. What’s the author’s advice according to the text?A. Don’t be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don’t be judgmental.D. Disregard others’ suggestions.DWhen I started school, my hands kept shaking. I went to a doctor and was told that I had a nervous system disorder that can cause a person’s hands to shake. I had no idea what I was going to do. One day, I saw a woodcock outside my apartment window, and I had never seen anything like it. So I read about the bird online and took an ornithology (鸟类学) class. The professor asked me if I was doing research. I had no idea that undergraduates could even do anything like that. That professor became my undergraduate advisor, and I started working in her lab. She was also my PhD advisor. I stayed in her lab for 11 years.Now I have a paper coming out soon that looks at the global diversity (多样性) of parrots. One figure in it is, I think, the best thing I’ve ever done. It shows the family tree of parrots, over a picture of Gondwana breaking up. Gondwana is the all supercontinent (超大陆) that South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand all used to be part of. As that broke up into the continents that we know better now, some families of parrots parted.My biggest failure in science thus far is my inability to explain how the Carolina parakeet went extinct (灭绝的). I’ve been working on this for seven years. I’ve read lots of historical books and travel diaries. And I never figured it out.That’s the thing about science. Most of the time, you start out with a really clear idea of what you think is going to happen. And it almost never happens that way. I’ve got a lot out of this research. I’ve learned a lot about the species (物种). But there are just some things that we’ll never know. Finally, I have to accept that maybe I’ll figure it out one day, maybe I won’t. But that’s OK.12.What made the author take up ornithology research?A.The doctor’s words.B. The help of a professor.C. The beauty of a woodcock.D. The difficulty of finding a job.13. What’s the author’s paper mentioned in Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The breakup of a continent.B. The big family tree of parrots.C. The influence of weather on parrots.D. The parrots’ diversity all over the world.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The bird.B. The failure.C. The extinction.D. The travel diary.15. What does the author think of this research?A. It is costly.B. It is worth doing.C. It is discouraging.D. It is easy to carry out.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。
