Its not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, its because of the goodhearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this years large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini (密生西葫芦)My sisterinlaw, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. Thats when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want，” Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didnt go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldnt mind.”Sharon couldnt think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did，” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharon was confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadnt even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were brightgreen zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled, “Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then she smiled, and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighborhood, “I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。“我”的嫂子Sharon家中西红柿大丰收，她邀请左邻右舍分享劳动果实。数天后，邻居给她送来了面包，邻居说自己摘了她家花园的西葫芦并做成了面包。Sharon家没有种过西葫芦，原来邻居错将黄瓜当成了西葫芦4Why does the author suggest that people in the neighborhood should lock their cars?AThey might be stolen by thieves.BThey might be moved away by the police.CTheir neighbors might fill them with their harvest.DTheir neighbors might throw rubbish into them.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句“Rather, its because of the goodhearted neighbors . stuff it full of zucchini (密生西葫芦)”可知，在社区要锁上车门的原因是好心的邻居可能会分享他们的收获，将丰收的果实塞满他人的车子，故C项正确。5What does the underlined word “blessings” in the second paragraph mean?ATomatoes.

And of those who do require glasses, many find themselves requiring two or three pairs of glasses in order to complete different tasks throughout the day. As well as being an added expense on_top_of everything else, this also means carrying around (and trying not to lose) those extra pairs!Eyejusters allow you to instantly change the lens (镜片) strength of your glasses with hidden dials, tucked just inside the frames themselves. Eyejusters work by the wearer simply turning the concealed eyeDials to change the focus to fit your needs. The lenses adjust from 0.00 to 3.00 D. They also have antiscratch technology and are lightweight in design so you arent paying the price of comfort for convenience.The creator of Eyejusters, Owen Reading who came up with the idea for Eyejusters with friend David Crosby, who studied physics at Oxford with him, explained：“Lots of people need reading glasses but they need glasses with lots of different strength. They might have a pair with 1 prescriptionstrength lenses for the computer, 2s for reading and 3s for really closeup stuff. Eyejusters replace the need for multiple pairs of reading glasses, by covering the whole range from zero to 3, which is the strongest you will find in overthecounter products.”He added：“If you wear reading glasses, these are a much more flexible alternative. You can put them on and just turn the dial until what you want to see comes into focus. They are much like using binoculars (双筒望远镜)”语篇解读：本文是科技新产品类说明文，介绍了一种视力调节器，人们可以调整镜片焦距以达到不同的目的。8Which has the closest meaning to the underlined part“on top of” in Para.2?AJoan stays on_top_of the news by reading newspapers.BA submarine can run under water as well as on_top_of water.CWhen I turned the corner, I was right on_top_of the post office.DHe promised to help us and on_top_of that he lent us many books.解析：选D词义猜测题。画线部分上文讲的是，很多人需要两三副眼镜来完成不同的任务，而画线部分所在句是说这不但是一笔额外的费用，还意味着到哪里都要带着额外的眼镜(还得注意别把它们弄丢了)。由此可以推断，on top of 的意思是“除之外”，所以D项表达的含义与画线部分最接近。9Eyejusters are popular for the following reasons EXCEPT their _.Anew brand Bantiscratch technologyClight weight Dlow price解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段最后的“for less than 70”可知，它的价格低，排除D项；根据第三段最后一句中的“They also have antiscratch technology and are lightweight in design so you arent paying the price of comfort for convenience”可知，它有抗抓痕技术，还很轻便，排除B项和C项。故选A项。10How can you make Eyejusters serve different purposes?ABy folding glasses.

DBy changing lenses.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Eyejusters allow you to instantly change the lens (镜片) strength of your glasses with hidden dials, tucked just inside the frames themselves”可知，人们通过调整镜片的焦距来服务于不同的目的，所以选B。11Who need Eyejusters most according to Owen Reading?APeople having perfect vision.BPeople wearing reading glasses.CPeople changing glasses constantly.DPeople preferring comfortable glasses.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“And of those who do require glasses, many find themselves requiring two or three pairs of glasses in order to complete different tasks throughout the day”可知，为了完成一天之内不同的任务，很多人需要两三副眼镜。Eyejusters这种新型的眼镜正好可以弥补这个缺陷，可以通过调整镜片焦距来达到不同的目的，所以选C。D(2019东北三省四市模拟)Heres an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesnt require an actual shot.For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (使免疫) against the flu.Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “micro needles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet theyre big enough to hold vaccine against three types of flu.None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said theyd rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low and middleincome countries, where it is hard to come by flu vaccines. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesnt require refrigeration, can be selfadministered and doesnt cause waste of needles are even better.“Microneedle patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs，” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种不用传统注射的流感疫苗贴。12What is the passage mainly about?AA vaccine that cures people of their flu.BA team that does research on seasonal flu.CA patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.DA method that makes traditional flu shots painless.解析：选C主旨大意题。通读文章可知，本文介绍了一种新型的流感疫苗贴，故选C项。13What do we know about the vaccine patch?AIt causes slight side effects.BIt causes serious skin reactions.CIt delivers vaccine on the head.DIt works badly on 30% of the volunteers.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions”可知，没有一个志愿者出现严重的副作用，也就是说这种疫苗贴有轻微的副作用。14The new patch has all the following benefits EXCEPT that _.Ait is provided free of chargeBit can be used without doctorsCit can be kept at room temperatureDit needs less care in transportation解析：选A细节理解题。根据第五段中的“the patch costs less”可知，A项不是这种疫苗贴的好处。15What is Katja and Marias attitude towards the new patch?ACautious. BFavorable.CAmbiguous. DDisapproving.解析：选B观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Microneedle patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs”可知，他们对这种新型的疫苗贴持肯定态度。.阅读七选五(2019陕西质检)Business owners are often buried in some demands and “duties”.
