A．Enjoy yourself.　　　　 　B．Its a deal. C．Dont mention it. D．Its up to you. 解析：選D　考查交際用語。由空后的“去哪兒對我來說都一樣”可知，答話人是讓對方做決定。Enjoy yourself“玩得痛快”；Its a deal“一言為定；成交”；Dont mention it“不客氣”。故Its up to you“由你決定”符合題意。 2．The reason ________ he didnt see the film last night is ________ he had to help his little sister with her homework.

In a study conducted by Paul J. Mills, a professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California, San Diego, patients who kept journals in which they recorded the things for which they were grateful showed reductions in levels of inflammatory biomarkers and an increase in heart rate variability which is considered a measure of reduced cardiac (心臟病的) risk. Another advantage for those with thankful hearts is a better quality of sleep. When you lie down at night, does your mind hit replay, putting on all the worries and concerns you faced during the day? Still your anxiety by thanking God, one by one, for all the positive aspects of your day. Of course, this is not new advice and did not take a team of researchers to discover. Joseph Oatman Jr., the pastor (牧師) who wrote the hymn Count Your Blessings, discovered this miracle sleepaid in 1897 when he was 41 years of age. The song became wellloved and Gipsy Smith, one of his contemporaries noted, “Men sing it, boys whistle it and women rock their babies to sleep to it.” It doesnt seem likely that this familiar hymn will bee trendy again today, but maybe we can teach it to our grandchildren. Certainly, we can use its message to remind ourselves of the benefits of recognizing and acknowledging our blessings. If your best friend had to choose a nickname for you based on your level of gratefulness would it be “Appreciative Amy/Al” or “Thankless Tonya/Tom”？ Oh, you say you dont have a best friend? That is too bad — and may be a sign that you e across as ungrateful. In a 2014 study published in the journal Emotion, it was reported that researchers concluded that showing gratitude helps you make new friends. Conveying gratefulness to others is not only a way to nurture old relationships, but also a method to begin new ones. This is a nobrainer, but people who are generous with words and expressions of thanksgiving have a healthier outlook (看法) on life than those who feel no need to say “thank you.” It is impossible to be both grateful and negative at the same time. If you feel yourself drifting toward a pessimistic point of view rather than an optimistic one, it may be time to make a list of your many blessings and express heartfelt thanks. Better health, more restful sleep, good friends and a bright outlook on life are good returns on an investment of taking time to be thankful. Many Good Returns on an Investment of Taking Time to be Thankful Better health People with highest gratitude scores were (1)________ likely to have inflammation. According to “Time Health” and Professor Paul J．Mills, being thankful is a possible way to (2)________ the chance of getting inflammation. More restful sleep Some people are too (3)________ and have a lot of trouble going to sleep. As early as 1897, a pastor made a (4)________ that thanking for the positive aspects of every day is a miracle sleepaid. His song Count Your Blessings enjoyed great (5)________， which indicated that it really could relieve peoples anxiety.

Listing your many blessings and expressing thanks sincerely is an effective way to (10)________ you lead a positive and optimistic life. 答案：1.less　2.lower/reduce/decrease/lessen 3．a(chǎn)nxious/worried/concerned　4.discovery　5.popularity 6．number　7.conclusion　8.larger/new/wider 9．Ungrateful　10.ensure 檢測評價(jià)B卷 閱讀理解 A (2019揚(yáng)州高三一模)As you enter university, you are likely to be confused by new demands and challenges.

Climate change, after all, has driven sea temperatures higher, which, in these creatures, favors female children. They found female sea turtles from Raine Island, the Pacific Oceans largest and most important green sea turtle living area, now outnumber males by at least 116 to 1. “This is extreme，” says turtle scientist Camryn Allen. Biologist Michael Jensen wanted to know if climate change had already changed turtles sexes. By using genetic tests, hed figured out that he could follow turtles of all ages. Still, his research data would lack an important detail: sex. Only after a turtle matures is it possible to tell its sex from the outside — mature males have slightly longer tails. By then turtles can be decades old, so scientists often use laparoscopy (腹腔鏡檢查), sending a thin tube into each animal, but thats not so practical if youre hoping to examine hundreds of creatures. Fortunately, at a turtle conference, he met Allen, and all she needed was a little blood. They pared their results with temperature data on nesting beaches. What worries them is that Raine Island has been producing almost female turtles for at least 20 years. This is no small thing. More than 200,000 turtles e to nest there. During high season, 18,000 turtles may settle in at once. “But what happens in 20 years when there are no more males ing up as adults? Are there enough to maintain the population？” says Allen. They also found cooler beaches in the south are still producing males, but that in the north, its almost entirely females hatched. These findings clearly point to the fact that climate change is changing many aspects of wildlife biology. But how widespread is this phenomenon — and what is the consequence? 語篇解讀：本文屬于科普類說明文。科學(xué)家們在研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)，太平洋Raine Island綠海龜棲息地中雌海龜?shù)臄?shù)量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了雄海龜，這是全球氣候變暖所導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。 3．How might the scientists feel if there were slightly more female turtles? A．Its unique.　　　　　　 　B．Its normal. C．Its extreme. D．Its doubtful. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Since the sex of a sea turtle (海龜) is determined by the heat of sand ... favors female children”可推知，如果(因?yàn)闅夂蜃兣?雌海龜數(shù)量稍微多一點(diǎn)，科學(xué)家們可能會覺得這是正常的。 4．Why do the findings worry Jensen and Allen? A．Too many females gather near Raine Island. B．The species diversity of sea turtles is shrinking. C．Turtle populations are in decline. D．Sea turtles may end up dying out. 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“But what happens in 20 years when there are no more males ing up as adults? Are there enough to maintain the population”可知，他們擔(dān)心如果沒有成年雄海龜，20年后，可能沒有足夠的雄海龜來維持海龜?shù)臄?shù)量，長此以往，海龜可能滅絕。 5．What does the last paragraph imply? A．People have to test the consequence. B．People should stop the phenomenon. C．More work needs doing about the phenomenon. D．Climate change has changed sea turtles sexes. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。上一段談到了科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)氣候變化正在改變野生生物生理習(xí)性的多個方面，比如氣溫變化讓雌海龜數(shù)量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于雄海龜數(shù)量。本段承接上一段，提出兩個問題：這種現(xiàn)象的范圍有多廣？后果又是什么呢？言外之意是人們應(yīng)該繼續(xù)這方面的研究工作，將這種現(xiàn)象的前因后果弄明白，其余選項(xiàng)雖與本文或本段內(nèi)容有關(guān)系，但并不是作者的弦外之音。 C (2019徐州模擬)Although international students want to dive into American culture, it is easier to stay close to the familiar. “Most international students told me that they want to meet and make friends with as many Americans as they can，”said Mark Galloway, Institute for International Studies student adviser at Murray State University. “But in reality, they are fortable with being around people from their own country, if possible.” Testing of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an admission (入學(xué)) test for international students enrolling in American universities. Galloway said students scores decreased when they spent less time with American students. More than 450 international students are on campus at Murray State University. Thailand, Japan, South Korea, China and Germany are the countries with the most students this semester, according to an IIS report. Wichien Eampromate, Thai Student Association president, said poor English ability and cultural differences make it difficult for Thai students to spend time with Americans.“We eat different things；we do different kinds of things，” said Eampromate. On the other hand, Joonseong Bae, an exchange student from Korea University, said he tries to avoid hanging around other Koreans. B
