【題目】 A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 【1】 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.

【2】 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.

【3】 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 【4】

Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 【5】 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.

A.This isn’t usual though.

B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.

C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.

D.If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.

E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.

【5】G

【解析】

【1】

上句 The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home.(這個(gè)聚會(huì)是朋友和家人祝賀新家的機(jī)會(huì))。介紹慶祝喬遷之喜的聚會(huì)是親戚朋友祝賀搬新家的人的一次機(jī)會(huì)，下句 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.(現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候用愛(ài)和希望的禮物來(lái)填補(bǔ)新家了)。介紹這也是給新家裝滿愛(ài)和希望禮物的好時(shí)機(jī)。E項(xiàng)：它也給了人們一次看看新家什么樣的機(jī)會(huì)。與上下句并列，都是慶祝喬遷之喜聚會(huì)的目的，故選E。

【2】

下文Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains.和like a piece of art or a plant. 列舉了參加聚會(huì)所帶禮物的清單，可以是廚房工具、窗簾、藝術(shù)品或綠植。這些都和參加聚會(huì)帶禮物有關(guān)，B項(xiàng)：帶禮物去參加喬遷派對(duì)是一種傳統(tǒng)，概括了本段內(nèi)容，引出下文，故選B。

【3】

本段介紹了聚會(huì)的活動(dòng)安排，根據(jù)后文This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn' t a lot of food served.(這一點(diǎn)通常是值得贊賞的，因?yàn)樵趩踢w派對(duì)上不會(huì)提供很多食物)。指出因?yàn)樾掳峒遥灾魅瞬粫?huì)準(zhǔn)備太豐盛的食物或太多的活動(dòng)。那么本句是在建議你可以帶上自己的食物或飲料與其他客人分享搬家，所以主人不會(huì)準(zhǔn)備太豐盛的食物或太多的活動(dòng)。C項(xiàng)：你也可以帶上食物或飲料與其他客人分享。故選C。

【4】

本段提到在喬遷聚會(huì)上人們會(huì)聚餐，主人帶領(lǐng)客人參觀新家。上句提到，由于喬遷聚會(huì)是在搬進(jìn)新家后不久舉行的，人們可能會(huì)被要求幫助打開(kāi)箱子。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知在喬遷聚會(huì)上讓客人們幫忙干活是不常見(jiàn)的，A項(xiàng)：但這并不常見(jiàn)。表達(dá)了此意，與上文銜接，故選A。

【5】

上句介紹了喬遷聚會(huì)名稱的由來(lái)，根據(jù)bring firewood to a new home as a gift.可知人們會(huì)帶柴火作為禮物，那么本空承接上文說(shuō)明了帶柴火的目的和作用。G項(xiàng)：這樣人們就可以在冬天的時(shí)候保持家里溫暖。符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。

【題目】 Since it first opened after four years of construction in 1937 at a cost of $27 million，the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.

CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and ground the bridge，learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.

Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge?It’s not golden.

“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait，”said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz，spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge，Highway and Transportation District，which operates the bridge. It’s a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.

What color is the bridge?It looks red.

“It’s not red，although you’re not crazy to think so. Visitors all call it red，”said Russell. “Back in the day，the US Navy，then part of the War Department，oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility，”said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange，which is similar to the color of red lead，”he said.

Does the bridge get entirely painted every year?

No，and it doesn’t need to be. It’s true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.

Who performs bridge rescues?

McVeigh and his fellow ironworkers，the so—called“Cowboys of the Sky”，have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls he’s been called to rescue over the past 17 years.

In September in 2018，the bridge started constructing a suicide(自殺)prevention system，also known as the safety net，to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s expected to be completed in 2021.

【1】What’s the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge?

A.Red.B.Red lead.

C.Black and yellow.D.International Orange.

【2】Who can probably be called a hero on the Golden Gate Bridge?

A.McVeigh.B.Jarrod Bauer.

C.Russell.D.Paolo.

【3】What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge?

A.It is safer now because of the safety net.

B.It got its name because of its color.

C.It took much time and money to be built.

D.It needs to be repainted once a year.

【題目】 It was Mother’s Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today?”

At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, “Miss Stephanie I’ve been thinking of you!” It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God’s great love for me.

There have been many Mother’s Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.

In the United States and elsewhere, Mother’s Day has become synonymous（與…同義）with lots of human expectations. If we’re not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a false standard for feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother’s Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice（慶幸）in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!

【1】How did the writer feel after comforting others on Mother’s Day?

A.Comfortable.B.Disappointed.

C.Anxious.D.Energetic.

【2】What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

A.Mother’s Day has become not so important in the United States.

B.The fulfillment of human expectations will never be a heavy burden.

C.The writer was always moved to tears on every Mother’s Day.

D.That Mother’s Day long ago had a positive influence on the writer’s life.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.A Call from a Little Girl.

B.A Memorable Mother’s Day.

C.God’s Great Love for Everyone.

D.A Mother’s Day Long Time Ago.

【題目】 CARMEL VALLEY - You don’t necessarily have to be older to be a Good Samaritan. Take Carmel Valley resident, Daniella Marie Benitez, 14, who is not your average teen. Daniella is helping Tijuana families have roofs over their heads — one family at a time.

It began in 2017 while she was volunteering for Build A Miracle and building a home for a family in need in Tijuana, Mexico. Daniella found it so fulfilling that she took the lead in building another home with the support of her family and friends.

To date, she has raised $32,000 for her cause and recently headed to Tijuana to begin building her team’s second home.

“It has been an unbelievable experience,” Daniella, a freshman at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, said. She learned about Build A Miracle through her previous school, Notre Dame Academy. It is a nonprofit organization that takes a family in need from a shack (棚屋) to a new home with electricity, bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom. It has built more than 350 homes since 1999.

During this most recent trip to Tijuana, Daniella and her team poured the foundation (基金) for the second new home. Additionally, she used her other volunteering position as a member of KIDBOX’s Kids board of directors to help distribute $10,000 worth of brand new KIDBOX clothing to her BAM community’s kids.

Between BAM and KIDBOX, the busy teen said she would continue to volunteer both locally and in Mexico to “stay humble.” She isn’t about to stop helping others; in fact, it’s something she treasures. “I’ve been working with BAM for about a year and a half. I got involved at the end of seventh grade when my previous school sponsored the building of a school sponsored home; my mom forced my family and me to go down to TJ to actually help build the house,” she said. “Meeting the family and seeing their delight and relief when they walked into their new home was priceless and is what inspired me to keep doing this.”

【1】What made Daniella stand out among teens?

A.Her constant efforts to help those less fortunate.

B.The building of a school sponsored home.

C.Her attempt to raise a fund for her cause.

D.The organizing of Build A Miracle.

【2】How did Daniella make connections between BAM and KIDBOX?

A.She encouraged KIDBOX to collect money for BAM.

B.She promoted a donation to BAM from KIDBOX.

C.She held leading positions in both organizations.

D.She built a platform for them to communicate.

【3】What chiefly inspired Daniella to keep helping others?

A.The support from her parents.B.Carmel Valley’s traditional values.

C.Tijuana families’ happy reactions.D.The influence from her previous school.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】 Soon, students will be receiving their latest report cards, even though many already know their grades. Thousands of schools nationwide have adopted what’s called “open grade books’’, online portals that allow both parents and kids to get up-to-the-minute progress reports.

Recently, I’ve noticed this whole system stresses out my 11-year-old daughter, Audrey. “It seems that if my grades do decrease, I’m worried on what my parents are going to say,’’ Audrey said. Hearing her say this breaks my heart. I wonder: Do other parents and kids feel this way? I put a call out to my network and found Carrie Du Bois.

“I thought it was a mistake,’’ says Du Bois.

About three years ago, Du Bois called the leader of the Sequoia Union High School District in San Mateo County to find out why she was receiving a daily email of her son’s grades. The leader told her the portal was working as it should.

Du Bois called every mental health professional she knew and they all told her the same thing: The supply of constant data on academic progress can overemphasize the importance of grades. Her district has since changed systems and no longer sends out daily grade updates. However, hundreds of other schools in the Bay Area still do.

A spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Unified School District said the feedback they’ve received from parents is overwhelmingly positive. Other parents have also told me the portals give them insights into their kids’ lives and open up conversations beyond “how was your day.”

Most of the portals offer parents the option of turning off daily notifications. Mental health care professionals advise that a healthier and more accurate measure of progress is checking grades once a week or even once a month. It’s what I have decided to do.

【1】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Education System Has Gone Wrong

B.Parents Are Worrying about Their Kids

C.A Good Way to Motivate the Kids to Work Hard

D.Open Grade Books Are Stressing Kids Out

【2】What do we know about the “open grade books”?

A.They allow parents to get their kids’ daily grades reports.

B.Neither parents nor kids like them because they create anxiety.

C.Most kids make progress in school due to them.

D.All parents have to receive daily grade updates online.

【3】Why does Du Bois’ district no longer use the system of sending out daily grades?

A.Because Du Bois doesn’t like it.

B.Because of Du Bois’ effort against it.

C.Because Du Bois knew many mental health care professionals.

D.Because the supply of constant data on academic progress hurt kids.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Most parents will turn off daily notifications.

B.No parents agree with the mental health care professionals.

C.The author will pay less attention to Audrey’s daily grades.

D.The author doesn’t care about her daughter’s accomplishments.
