(2019·北京高一检测)
Hermit crabs are nature’s recyclers. They eat waste and help keep oceans and shores clean. Unlike
other crabs, the hermit crab has a thin outer shell over its soft tail. This makes the hermit crab easy prey for
hungry predators(天敌). Hermit crabs stay safe by living in old seashells. A hermit crab is picky(狡猾); it
tries on many shells until it finds one that fits just right. In recent years, however, many hermit crabs have
had trouble finding their perfect homes. What is the problems? There are not enough shells to go around!
One reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as it once was. This has caused
chemical changes to sea water. Some sea animals, like snails, are affected by these changes. Now there are
fewer snails making shells. People visiting the beach often take shells home as souvenirs(纪念品). This is
another problem. Other people even take shells for their own pet hermit crabs! They do not realize that
hermit crabs in the wild need those shells too.
Now people are working to solve this hermit crab housing shortage. They are teaching beach-Boers to
leave seashells where they belong—at the seashore! Some people even make fake seashells that they hope
the hermit crabs will like. For example, a group called Project Shelter invited people who visited their
website to create different designs for hermit crab shells.
These designers had a lot to consider. What kind of material should be used to build seashells. The
material must be light enough for the hermit crab to carry, but strong enough to protect the crab from
predators. The man-made shells could not contain glue or any other substance(物质)that might harm a
hermit crab. Another challenge with building a hermit crab home was the opening to the shell. Too big
would mean the crab would not feel safe. Too small would be uncomfortable, and the crab would not want
to move in.
The Project Shelter shells are placed in the wild for hermit crabs to find. Lucky hermit crabs can move
into these new dream homes.
1. Where can hermit crabs stay safe?
A. In different old seashells.
B. Behind the waste they’ll eat.
C. In their own thin outer shells.
D. Under the stones at the seashore.
2. What does the underlined word “fake” in Para. 3 mean?

3. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The Project Shelter Group.
B. The shortage of the seashell.
C. New homes for hermit crabs.
D. The recyclers of the nature.

Benito Juarez, a poor Indian boy, was twelve years old when he left his village home in December
1818. Benito walked forty-one miles to the city of Oaxaca, high in the mountains of Mexico. When he
heard the Spanish spoken by the city people, Benito didn’t know what they were saying.
First, Benito became a servant for a wealthy gentleman, Serer Maza. Soon, he went to work for
Antonio Salanueva , a church(教会) librarian. Antonio repaired and copied the library books, keeping them
in good shape. Benito became his helper and his housekeeper. Antonio loved to teach. Benito soon became
his student as well as his servant. With the help of Antonio, Benito learned to speak, read, and write
Spanish.
At that time in Mexico, many people believed that Indians were not smart enough to read or learn.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Antonio knew that was not true. Indians had been prevented from learning by a lack of schools. The first
Spanish missionaries(传教士)who came to Mexico had educated the native people. In fact, churches from
Spain had built the first college on the North American continent(大陆)for the Indians. As more Spanish
came to Mexico, however, the Indian children were crowded out of the schools.
Benito was a good and bright student, so Antonio developed a plan for him. In 1821, when Benito was
fifteen, Antonio decided to enroll him in a school for boys. Antonio taught Benito what he needed to pass
the entrance test for the school.
Benito became a student at the college. His studies were difficult, and he was teased because he was
the only Indian student there. He succeeded in spite of these challenges. Later, as the laws changed, Benito
was able to attend a public college with other Indians.
Benito Juarez continued his education and became a lawyer and, much later, the President of Mexico
from 1861 to 1872. He led the Mexican people to victory over the French, who tried to rule Mexico, and
fought for the rights of Indians. He is one of the great heroes in Mexican history.

(2019•全国卷Ⅱ)
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I
jump? ”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of
same coin. 1 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
2 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate
yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then
should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is
directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 3 So,
slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you
move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in
mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 4 They also need to be
measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t
become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 5 You should reassess your goals, and
motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot
overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of
setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
