I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl (猫头鹰)on the ground.When I arrived, I saw a 2-to-3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟)and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH ! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 文章大意:这是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者作为一个野生动物救助和教育机构的志愿者,成功救助一只猫头鹰雏鸟的经历。 10.What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1?_A__ A.Efforts made in vain. B.Getting injured in his work. C.Feeling uncertain about his future. D.Creatures forced out of their homes. 解析:考查细节理解。根据第一段的“Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain”可知,救助野生动物有时会让人感到心碎,因为即使努力挽救它们,也不能保证它们都会活下来。故选A。 11.Why was the author called to Muttontown?_C__ A.To rescue a woman. B.To take care of a woman. C.To look at a baby owl. D.To cure a young owl. 解析:考查细节理解。根据第二段的“I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰)on the ground”可知,这位女士给作者打电话是为了让他来看一看一只猫头鹰雏鸟。故选C。 12.What made the chick calm down?_A__ A.A new nest. B.Some food. C.A recording. D.Its parents. 解析:考查细节理解。根据第四段的“I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable...it quickly calmed down”可知,作者做的鸟巢非常舒服,所以把这只猫头鹰雏鸟放进去后,它很快安静下来。故选A。 13.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?_B__ A.It's unexpected. B.It's beautiful. C.It's humorous. D.It's discouraging. 解析: 考查推理判断。根据最后一段可知,通过播放猫头鹰雏鸟饥饿时发出的叫声的录音,这只猫头鹰雏鸟最终与它的父母团聚,而且它的父母开始给它喂食,再结合第一段最后一句“However,when it works,it is simply beautiful”可判断,作者付出的努力没有白费,因而结果是美好的。故选B。 E (2018·全国卷Ⅱ,D) We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation.Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast.“Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains.“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop.One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.“It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband ,” says Dunn.“But interactions with peripheral (边缘的)members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others.Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 文章大意:研究表明,闲聊对于人际交往起着重要的作用。 14.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?_C__ A.Addiction to smartphones. B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places. C.Absence of communication between strangers. D.Impatience with slow service. 解析: 考查细节理解。文章第一段描述了在公共场所人们之间不互相交流的现象,本段中的“uncomfortable silence”与选项C中的“Absence of communication”相呼应。 15.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?_B__ A.Showing good manners. B.Relating to other people. C.Focusing on a topic. D.Making business deals. 解析:考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them”可知,Carducci认为成功的闲聊的关键在于学会与其他人沟通。 16.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?_D__ A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people's confidence. C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good. 解析:考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段第三句“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience”可知,闲聊使得人们感觉良好。故选D项。 17.What is the best title for the text?_C__ A.Conversation Counts B.Ways of Making Small Talk C.Benefits of Small Talk D.Uncomfortable Silence 解析:考查标题判断。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了闲聊在人际交往中的重要作用。故C项作本文标题最佳。 [层级二 模拟题组] 1 (2019·石家庄市一模) Live at Leeds Festival,United Kingdom A weekend of indie music taking over Leeds for one day in May, Metronomy, Sundara Karma and Tom Grennan will headline, but there's a focus on the city's newer bands, with the festival aiming to bring new artists into the spotlight.

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other,after learning there were local children who slept on the floor.Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace,a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need. Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course. Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.” With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town” ,the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America.But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making“great money to zero money”.He's never looked back.“I found that the need I have isn't financial,”he said.“The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces,knowing that I can make a difference.” 文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。Mickelson为了让自己社区的无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉,成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”。 10.Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?_A__ A.To help the poor children. B.To make a big fortune. C.To inspire his community. D.To get more donations. 解析:考查细节理解。根据文章的第一段,尤其是最后一句中的“Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace,a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need”可知,Mickelson创建这个非营利组织是为了帮助贫困儿童。 11.What do we know about Luke Mickelson?_D__ A.He had his own fish farm. B.He changed his career from time to time. C.He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D.He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life. 解析:考查推理判断。根据文章的第二段,尤其是最后一句“But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor,his peaceful life changed course”可推知,Mickelson一开始过着轻松、舒适的生活。 12.How did other people react to Mickelson's project?_B__ A.They showed little interest in it. B.They were supportive and involved in it. C.They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed. D.They volunteered to buy beds with their own money. 解析:考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays.As the word spread,interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded”可知,Mickelson的朋友和其他家庭成员都来帮忙,随着消息的传播,更多人参与进来,由此可知,人们对Mickelson创建的这个组织非常支持,并且积极参与。 13.What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit?_D__ A.Ambiguous. B.Defensive. C.Cautious. D.Positive. 解析:考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段,尤其是“The need I have...make a difference”可知,Mickelson想要看到孩子们脸上的喜悦,他知道他在做一些有影响的事;由此可推知,他对这个组织持积极的态度。 5 (2019·洛阳市二模) We've heard of robots and AI ( artificial intelligence ) taking human jobs, but I bet mayors don't really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that. AI can't legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo,intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign as an AI Mayor.Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having it collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone. “For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,”human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced. “Artificial Intelligence will change Tama City.With the birth of an AI Mayor,we will conduct balanced politics.” The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out promises of an AI utopia(乌托邦)and asking for support.
