【解析】

文章主要介绍Coober Pedy这个小镇上的人因当地恶劣的气候条件而形成独特的生活方式。

【1】句意：它不仅以其猫眼石而闻名，而且还因为一个非常不寻常的原因而闻名——那里的人们在地下生活和劳作。

考查名词辨析。question问题；problem难题，困难；matter事情，困难；reason原因，理由。下文“the people there live and work underground.”是Coober Pedy闻名的另一个“原因，理由”。故选D。

【2】句意：白天的温度可以升到50℃或更高……

考查动词辨析。fall落下，下落；drop落下，掉下；rise上升，升起；raise举起，提起。由下文“...fall to zero.”可知 ，上文应该是“rise to...”，前后呼应。rise是不及物动词，需借助介词to来连接宾语，而raise是及物动词。故选C。

【3】句意：……他们奇怪的生活方式是应对恶劣气候的唯一办法。

考查介词。answer作名词，意为“回答，(试题、练习等的)答案，(问题的)解决办法”，其后必须用介词to来表示所属关系。answer to...意为“（应对）……的办法”。故选C。

【4】句意：那里的人如果想盖房子或做任何改变，都不需要付钱给建筑工人。

考查宾语。any在此意为“任何的”，后接复数可数名词，change作名词，意为“改变，变化”，复数形式：changes。故选A。

【5】句意：你会惊讶地发现人们努力在地下生活得多好。

考查感叹句。根据句子结构可知，这是一个感叹句。manage to do sth.“设法做某事”，动词短语，所以应用副词well来修饰，那么感叹句的引导词必须是how，即：how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！故选A。

【6】句意：人们认为在这里生活是不可能的……

考查形容词辨析。possible可能的，impossible不可能的，important重要的，believable值得相信的。根据语境可知，此句句意为：“人们认为在这里生活是不可能的……那不是真的”，根据but that’s not true，所以此空表示“不可能的”。故选B。

【7】句意：住在Coober Pedy30多年的Bev Smith说……

考查关系代词。关系代词which，指物，在从句中作主语或宾语。关系代词whom，指人，在从句中作宾语。关系代词who，指人，在从句中作主语或宾语。关系代词 whose，指人或物，在从句中作定语。根据句子结构可知，这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是Bev Smith，指人，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导定语从句。故选C。

【8】句意：当我和我的丈夫Larry刚到这里的时候，生活是很艰难的。

考查形容词辨析。easy容易的，different不同的，difficult困难的 ，interesting有趣的。由下文“……many people decided to leave.”可知，“生活是很艰难的。”故选C。

【9】句意：……我们已经习惯在这里生活。

考查固定搭配。live“居住，住在”，动词。get/be used to doing sth.“习惯做某事”，固定搭配，其中to为介词，后接名词或动名词作宾语。故选D。

【10】句意：当我看到我美妙的地下家园时，我（惊讶得）张大了嘴巴。

考查谓语动词。根据句意及句子结构可知，此空填fell，fall的过去式，在此作系动词，意为“进入（某状态），开始变成（某事物）”，后接形容词作表语，表示主语变成什么样。故选B。

【题目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history？Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. A【1】 he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. His c【2】 was sad. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

L【3】 , he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’【4】 . He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am w【5】 three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people p【6】 . All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A kind person should care for others. Be s【7】 with yourself, but kind to others.” he said.

【题目】 A new Chinese coronavirus (冠状病毒), a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 40,000people since the outbreak (爆发) began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals. Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(轻度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking. The virus can also be transmitted (传播) by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for the disease at this stage, which makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. Besides, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect the whole world, the influences of the novel coronavirus are huge-damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors and weakening the entire country.

To fight against the disease, as individuals, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

【1】How many people have been affected since the outbreak of the new Chinese coronavirus?

【2】Where does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

【3】What symptoms (症状) may people have when they are affected?

【4】Why are doctors and nurses required to wear strict protective clothes?

【5】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food. It can feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not.According to the UN world Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our everyday life to waste less food? Here are some tips：

1. Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

2. Don't be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

3. Don't keep too much food at home, especially for vegetables and fruit.

"Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." It tells us everybody must save food.
