【題目】 It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. 【1】 “Do you need a second helping of pudding?"a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 【2】 .He had no preparation for it.
【3】But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses.
The restaurant is the latest initiative(初步行動)from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 【4】 “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Angel. “ 【5】People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."
A.By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar.
B.So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?
C.They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.
D.It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.
E.The homeless are treated with respect at the restaurant.
F.Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma.
G.Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.

本文為一篇記敘文。文章記敘了安東尼奧在一家利用付費(fèi)客戶的早餐和午餐收入為無家可歸者提供免費(fèi)晚餐的慈善餐廳用餐的故事。
【1】結(jié)合后文Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 安東尼奧已經(jīng)吃完一盤意大利面、一份燉魚和一塊蛋糕,他不能馬上回答。這個(gè)問題對大多數(shù)用餐者來說可能很常見,但對他來說,這完全是個(gè)新奇的問題,因?yàn)樗麩o家可歸,而且是免費(fèi)用餐。安東尼奧正在面臨著已經(jīng)吃飽了,可是如果走了又無家可歸的兩難境地。F. Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma. 安東尼奧發(fā)現(xiàn)自己面臨一個(gè)受歡迎的兩難境地。符合此處語境。故選F項(xiàng)。
【2】結(jié)合前文“Do you need a second helping of pudding?" a waitress asked. “你需要再來一份布丁嗎?”一位女服務(wù)員問道。及后文He had no preparation for it. 他沒有準(zhǔn)備。D. It was the first time that he had been asked such a question. 這是第一次有人問他這樣的問題。與前文問題相照應(yīng),也與后文“沒有準(zhǔn)備好回答”相對應(yīng)。故選D項(xiàng)。
【3】結(jié)合后文But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses. 但到了晚上,它就變成了一個(gè)開拓性的地方,像安東尼奧這樣的無家可歸者可以在擺滿鮮花、金屬餐具和玻璃杯的桌子上免費(fèi)用餐。結(jié)合連詞but可知,此處應(yīng)該為描述與后文晚上相反的白天的酒店?duì)顟B(tài)。A. By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar. 白天,羅賓漢餐廳坐落在馬德里市中心附近的一條小街上,是一家典型的西班牙酒吧。與后文形成轉(zhuǎn)折。故選A項(xiàng)。
【4】結(jié)合前文Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 它的商業(yè)模式非常簡單,利用付費(fèi)客戶的早餐和午餐收入為無家可歸者提供免費(fèi)晚餐。G. Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.它的目標(biāo)有些雄心勃勃。早餐和午餐收入是遠(yuǎn)不及晚餐的,因此用早餐和午餐的收入為無家可歸者提供免費(fèi)晚餐有些雄心勃勃。故選G項(xiàng)。
【5】結(jié)合后文People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. 沒有任何東西的人可以來餐館吃飯,得到和其他人一樣的待遇。B. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters? 所以我們想,為什么不開一家有桌布、餐具和服務(wù)員的餐廳呢?此處的開餐館與后文的來餐館吃飯相對應(yīng)。故選B項(xiàng)。

【題目】At one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca — fought with each other for years.
In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area.
The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Fortynine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained selfgoverning.
In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years.
Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地).This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.
History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”.The Iroquois League’s constitution is often called America’s first democracy.

【題目】Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think aboutthemselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accepttheir weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about______.
A. the cause of shyness B. the effect of shyness on people
C. the feelings of shy people D. the questions in the minds of shy people
【2】According to the writer, self-awareness is______.
A. harmful to people B. a weak point of shy people
C. the cause of unhappiness D. a good characteristic
【3】What is the shy people's reaction to praise?
A. They are pleased by it. B. They feel it is not true.
C. They are very sensitive to it. D. They feel they are worthy of it.
【4】We can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.
A. block our chances for a successful life
B. help us to live up to our full development
C. enable us to understand ourselves better
D. have nothing to do with lack of self respect

【題目】 It is 6:00 am on the first day of the school year. In Cherrybrook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.
One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三腳架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom. This technology is Mr. Woo's core tool of the trade. "I'm Mr. Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I'm about to record this one," he explains to his new maths class.
The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed. Mr. Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia - a maths teacher by day and an internet sensation(轟動) by night.
He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school. Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr. Woo's videos on his free YouTube channel and website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now boasts more than 38,000 subscribersc用戶 ) and has attracted almost 4 million views worldwide.
Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr. Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia, and making maths popular again. “ He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it," Mr. Johnson said.
12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woo's teaching style made maths irresistible. "I don't want to say it, but he sucked me into maths," she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar, agreed. "It's difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country," he said.
Mr. Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.
【1】Eddie Woo set up an iPad in the middle of the classroom with the purpose of

【題目】 According to a team of researchers,an animal's ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life.
“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures." commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.
The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs,for example,have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.
One example of this phenomenon at work,the authors say,is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies “observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve,"which allows them to avoid being hit.
Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland,who worked jointly on the research project,said in a statement,“Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus,this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers,but they can make good decisions very quickly. ”
In comparison,the tiger beetle(虎甲蟲)runs faster than its eyes can keep up,basically becoming blind,which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's(獵物)position.
Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.
【1】What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about?
A.Pace of life of animals.B.Impressive abilities of animals.
C.Lifetime of small animals.D.Time perception of animals.
【2】What does Kevin Healy's comment mean in Para.2?
A.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.
B.Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.
C.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.
D.Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.
【3】Why can houseflies avoid being hit?
A.They can think very deeply before they act.
B.They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.
C.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.
D.They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.
【4】What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey?
A.Slow down to gain its time perception.
B.Prevent itself from becoming blind.
C.Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.
D.Try to run as fast as it can.
