【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。英国教师Brittni Darras听到她的一名学生在一次自杀未遂后现在医院里时陷入了悲伤。为了帮助这个学生,老师给她写了一封信,Darras称赞她的个性和她成功的学校表现。在接下来的两个月里,她给她9年级和10年级的130名学生们每人写了一份如此个性化的手写笔记,表达了他们对她的特别之处。学生们深受感动。

1考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意:英国教师Brittni Darras听到她的一名学生在一次自杀未遂后现在医院里时陷入了悲伤。throw sb. into 使某人陷入---,结合句意可知句子用一般过去时态的被动语态,故答案为was_thrown。

2考查固定搭配。固定搭配:attempt to do sth.企图做某事,故答案为to kill。

3考查定语从句。句意:为了帮助这个学生,老师给她写了一封信,Darras称赞她的个性和她成功的学校表现。此处a letter最先行词,分析句子结构,代入后面的定语从句中做地点状语,故答案为where。

4考查固定词组。句意:妈妈告诉Darras,在看完字条后,她的女儿哭了起来,说她认为在她走后没有人会关心她。固定词组:care about关心,在乎,故答案为about。

5考查副词。句意:这个反应实际上是对Darras的启发。此处served是动词,副词修饰动词,故答案为actually。

6考查名词复数。句意:在接下来的两个月里,她给她9年级和10年级的130名学生们每人写了一份如此个性化的手写笔记,表达了他们对她的特别之处。结合句意可知此处用名词复数,故答案为notes。

7考查现在分词做时间状语。句意:在上传了一张Facebook上的信件照片后,她后来发现有一个学生评论道:我很高兴能成为Rampart的一员,因为像你这样有爱心的老师,Darras女士。此处shepost之间是主动关系,且post的动作先于谓语动词found,所以这里是现在分词的完成式做时间状语,故答案为Having_posted。

8考查形容词。句意:在上传了一张Facebook上的信件照片后,她后来发现有一个学生评论道:我很高兴能成为Rampart的一员,因为像你这样有爱心的老师,Darras女士。形容词修饰名词,loving(有爱心的),故答案为loving。

9考查定冠词。句意:一个老师会花时间坐下来思考他/她的每一个学生,更不用说告诉他们他或她有多爱他们了,这是不常见的。此处表示特指老师坐下来思考每一个学生的时间,故答案为the。

10考查名词词性转化。句意:你已经在我们的意识中产生了巨大的差异,那就是世界上有一个爱我们的人。谢谢你!形容词性物主代词修饰名词,our是形容词性物主代词,故答案为awareness。

分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题小题3中先行词为名词a letter,再分析先行词a letter在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词a letter带到从句中可知,只能作地点状语,故确定关系词where,相当于in which。

【题目】 Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.

The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.

Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.

“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.

The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.

Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.

The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.

“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.

Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.

“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.

1What is the significance of the Harmony OS?

A.It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.

B.It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.

【题目】 The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal

Here’s a wake-up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They’ll send an actual human being to your room. Don’t worry. They won’t come in and kiss you good morning. 1

Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. 2 Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. 3

Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. 4 If you don’t get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won’t have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.

5 In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you’d get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake up calls.

A. But they might bring you coffee.

B. If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock.

C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee.

D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.

E. The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day.

F. The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest's stay.

G. Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.

【题目】 We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including gardens, city parks and forests.

But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?

A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.

The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.

Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period.

The results showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.

According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited chance to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle… so we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.”

While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So, remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.

1What was the purpose of the ISGlobal’s study?

A.To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces.

B.To understand the mental health problems of children.

C.To see how childhood experiences shape adult life.

D.To examine the advantages of taking a walk.

2What do we know about the study?

A.The volunteers included both children and adults.

B.The volunteers were from all over the world.

C.It was made up of a questionnaire and a psychological test.

D.It focused on the volunteers’ physical health state.

3What does the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.understand somethingB.lose oneself in something

C.protect against somethingD.imagine doing something

4Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.The benefits of green spaceB.mental health or physical health

C.outdoor lifestyleD.the value of taking a walk
