The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源)of
temptation(诱惑). But the 16 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with
little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17 more
remarkable.
第2 页(共21 页)
After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard
in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 20
inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find
some ID so he could contact(联系)the driver, only to 21 it contained £400 in notes, with
another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner
know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the
car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 23 to find two
policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was
24 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 .
Mr. Anderson said: “I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on
the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has
nothing and 27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself;he thought about others 28 . It’s
unbelievable. It just proves there are 29 guys out there.”
Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media
users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32
money for Mr. Smith and other
homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. “I think the faith that everyone has
shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job
34 and all sorts,” Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35 . The story once again tells us that one good
turn deserves another.

A
My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two
weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps
and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I
realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was
all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
第3 页(共21 页)
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating
and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not
the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed
the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never
minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same
medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call
myself a “marathon winner”.
36. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A. was well trained
B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run
D. lost hope
37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?

38. How was the author’s first marathon?
A. He made it.
B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize.
D. He walked to the end.
39. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.

Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) Center
If you’re looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be.
The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering,
aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to
know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what
they’re studying in the classroom.
For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges (荣誉徽章). At Space
Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about
space tasks and try simulated (模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation
Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of
flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also
get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through
designed tasks and their search and rescue of “downed” pilot.
With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part
of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family
Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.
Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!
For more details, please visit us online at www.oursac.com.

Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in
landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get
rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break
down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial
polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams,
or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene
breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours
later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’
stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday
food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic
bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,” she explains, “The wax worm evolved a
method or system to break this bond.”
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the
study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous
studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to
identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut
microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break
down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not
simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”
43. What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday food.
B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They can consume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
44. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to
.
A. identify other means of the breakdown
B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdown speed
45. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might
.
A. help to raise worms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans
D. be produced in factories in future
46. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain a study method on worms.
B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C. To present a way to break down plastics.
D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from
materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor
Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The
state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate
driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been
testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be
everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our
transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is
regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so),
policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut
emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles
is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future
where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from
work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which
encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to
circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the
dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public
transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private
cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from
transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by
2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available
driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving
technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership
could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless
vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The
coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation
systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just
have to plan for it.
47. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.
A. help deal with transportation-related problems
B. provide better services to customers
C. cause damage to our environment
D. make some people lose jobs
48. As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?
A. Safety.
B. Side effects.
C. Affordability.
D. Management.
49. What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Employed.
B. Replaced.
C. Shared.
D. Reduced.
50. What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.

Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these
causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are
triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations.
51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.
However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical
pain, and much more. ____52____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not
is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
第6 页(共21 页)
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality
traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53
Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state
before a triggering event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself.
Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to
appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of
anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your
mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a
critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may
not trigger another.

Last week, we took the foreign students in our school to experience the authentic tea culture, which
turned out be to extremely rewarding.
On arriving at the tea house, the foreign students were impressed by the unique tea pots and tea cups.
I gave them a vivid and informative introduction of tea culture, including its profound history, its rich
variety, and the exquisite craftsmanship of making tea with their interest greatly sparked, I then began to
teach them how to make tea.
In order to deliver a clear presentation, I slowly explained the traditional procedure of making tea in
detail. Absorbed in every move of mine, the foreign students were once again amazed by this unique
culture and they couldn’t help taking pictures from time to time.
Next came the moment when I asked them to have a try themselves. Washing the tea pots, adding tea
leaves, and pouring water into the cups, they followed my instructions and were really immersed in
charming tea culture. The tea house witnessed a really enjoyable time for all of us.
At the end of the activity, holding the tea bags in our hands, we took a picture to memorize the
unforgettable day. It suddenly hit me that traditional culture like tea culture was of great charm and huge
value. And I swelled with pride to spread our own culture to people all over the world.

语形式用过去完成时即:had+过去分词,主句用would / should / could / might + have +过去分
词.本题中主句中使用了might have done,因此,从句中应该使用过去完成时.
故选:D.
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气.if 引导的虚拟条件句是高考考试的重要考察点.应对虚拟语气题目
时,我们需要记住一个公式:语法 + 语境 = 正确答案.语法就是指上述各种虚拟语气的结构和
用法,需要考生牢牢把握这些虚拟语气的基础知识;语境即说话人的语意、情感、态度等.实际
上,目前高考中的大多数语法单项填空题都不是纯粹的考查语法结构,必须把语法或惯用法与语
境结合起来才能得出正确答案.因此我们应遵循这个解题模式.

D. at
【考点】8C:介词.菁优网版权所有
【分析】﹣早上好,李先生的办公室.
﹣早上好.我想为下星期三下午安排一次约会.
【解答】答案:A,考查介词用法辨析.结合句意"为下星期三下午安排一次约会"可知,即make
an appointment for next Wednesday afternoon.同学易错选为on,以为在某天下午应用介词on,但
句意并非在下周三下午才做预约,而是说现在就约,把时间约在周三下午.故用介词for.
故选:A.
【点评】本道介词题难度相对较大,命题者铺设了陷阱,乍看之下极其容易,仔细思量其实另有
玄机.所以考生在备考时,要注意灵活应用,而不是死记硬背.

After hours in the cold and wet, he 20

another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner
know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the
car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 23 to find two
policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was

nothing and 27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself;he thought about others 28 . It’s
unbelievable. It just proves there are 29 guys out there.”
Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media

money for Mr. Smith and other
homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. “I think the faith that everyone has
shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job

My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two
weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps
and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I
realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was
all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating
and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not
the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed
the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never
minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same
medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call
myself a “marathon winner”.
36. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A. was well trained
B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run
D. lost hope
37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.

Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) Center
If you’re looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be.
The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering,
aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to
know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what
they’re studying in the classroom.
For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges (荣誉徽章). At Space
Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about
space tasks and try simulated (模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation
Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of
flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also
get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through
designed tasks and their search and rescue of “downed” pilot.
With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part
of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family
Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.
Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!

Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in
landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get
rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break
down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial
polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams,
or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene
breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours
later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’
stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday
food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic
bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,” she explains, “The wax worm evolved a
method or system to break this bond.”
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the
study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous
studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to
identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut
microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break
down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not
simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”
43. What can we learn about the worms in the study?
第16 页(共21 页)
A. They take plastics as their everyday food.
B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They can consume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
44. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to
.
A. identify other means of the breakdown
B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdown speed
45. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might
.
A. help to raise worms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans
D. be produced in factories in future
46. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain a study method on worms.
B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C. To present a way to break down plastics.
D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

【解答】43-46 CBDC
43.C.推理判断题.根据文章第二段中的"Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the
worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The
team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms

cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from
materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor
Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The
state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate
driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been
testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be
everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our
transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is
regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so),
policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut
emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles
第17 页(共21 页)
is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future
where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from
work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which
encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to
circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the
dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public
transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private
cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from
transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by
2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available
driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving
technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership
could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless
vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The
coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation
systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just
have to plan for it.
47. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.
A. help deal with transportation-related problems
B. provide better services to customers
C. cause damage to our environment
D. make some people lose jobs
48. As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?
A. Safety.
B. Side effects.
C. Affordability.
D. Management.
49. What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Employed.
B. Replaced.
C. Shared.
D. Reduced.
50. What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.

选项。
Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these
causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are
triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations.
51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.
However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical
pain, and much more. ____52____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not
is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality
traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53
Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state
before a triggering event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself.
Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to
appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of
anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your
mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a
critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may
not trigger another.

假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,写一篇英文周记,记述你
们上周接待外国学生,带领他们体验中国茶文化的全过程。
注意:词数不少于60。
Last week, we took the foreign students in our school to experience the authentic tea culture, which
turned out to be extremely rewarding.
On arriving at the tea house, the foreign students were impressed by the unique tea pots and tea cups.
I gave them a vivid and informative introduction of tea culture, including its profound history, its rich
variety, and the exquisite craftsmanship of making tea. With their interest greatly sparked, I then began to
teach them how to make tea.
In order to deliver a clear presentation, I slowly explained the traditional procedure of making tea in
detail. Absorbed in every move of mine, the foreign students were once again amazed by this unique
culture and they couldn’t help taking pictures from time to time.
Next came the moment when I asked them to have a try themselves. Washing the tea pots, adding tea
leaves, and pouring water into the cups, they followed my instructions and were really immersed in
charming tea culture. The tea house witnessed a really enjoyable time for all of us.
At the end of the activity, holding the tea bags in our hands, we took a picture to memorize the
unforgettable day. It suddenly hit me that traditional culture like tea culture was of great charm and huge
value. And I swelled with pride to spread our own culture to people all over the world.
