Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way：“Africa is the cradle of humankind”and “Africans are passionate and generous”Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. Its true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the emergence(出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, its easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the worlds oldest civilizationsEgypt, born by the worlds longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year round and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas(稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjarothe highest mountain in Africaand even thick forest on the island of Madagascar. These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on ChinaAfrica Cooperation was held on Sept. 3 and 4to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people. In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wantedthey wanted their culture to be respected.”4Which of the following best explains the underlined “cradle” in paragraph 2?AA small bed for babies.BA basket to hold something.CA place for people to relax themselves.DA place where something important began.5What can we infer about Africa according to the passage?AIt is very hot all year round.BIts not a safe continent to live on.CIts different from what we imagine.DIt is bound to have a bright future.6Which of the following would Huang agree with?ATo see is to believe.BThink twice before you do.CA miss is as good as a mile.DDont judge a person by his appearance.7What can be a suitable title for the text?AValuing a CultureBUnderstanding AfricaCPaying a Visit to AfricaDDiscovering a ContinentC(2019合肥第一次质量检测)Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy AyersElliott will tell you the real story of Food Print Farms.The original concept of building Food Print Farms was simple. When AyersElliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didnt have to look any further than her states alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，” explains AyersElliott.“Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didnt take research to see that. And many of the states greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”These days, Food Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the coop model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes AyersElliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, Tshirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”“Its a model that can easily be learned in other places and Im looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just thatto take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，” AyersElliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.8What made AyersElliott set up Food Print Farms?AThe problems faced by local farmers.BHer further research into heart disease.CThe failure of her career after graduation.DThe health state of people in her hometown.9Why does the author take the football team as an example?ATo advocate the concept of independence.BTo stress the importance of teamwork.CTo support the idea of coop model.DTo explore the key to success.10What is AyersElliotts attitude towards the future of Food Print Farms?AOptimistic.BSkeptical.CCautious.DAmbiguous.11What is the main idea of the text?ANaturally grown food benefits peoples health.BFood Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.CAyersElliott encourages people to experience the farm life.DAgritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.D (2019武汉高三调研)Anxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions of years to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger. But feeling anxious because you hear a noise on a dark street isnt the same thing as having an anxiety disorder. “The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering(妨碍) with a persons daytoday life, or causing them a lot of unhappiness，” says Nick Grey of Kings College London.To clinical psychologists like Grey, “maladaptive(不适应的) beliefs” are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has. In social anxiety disorder, the most common anxiety disorder, you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and after social events.If you have panic disorder, you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxietya pounding heart, breathing difficulty, feeling dizzywill then come on in a rush. Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety themselves.Other “maladaptive beliefs” are less specific. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities, for at least six months. If you have this condition, the belief driving your anxiety could, for example, be the feeling that its your job to take care of other people, or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all costs. To decide who to refer for further treatment, doctors might use a tool called the GAD7 test.12Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder?AQuarreling with parents.BGetting to school earlier.CMissing a lunch.DKnocking on the wall.13What is social anxiety characterized by?AContinuous worries.BPast experiences.CMaladaptive beliefs.DFrequent terrors.14What will happen to you when you have panic disorder?AYou cant stand steadily.BYour face turns red.CYou cant touch anything.DYour hands feel numb.15What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others?AGeneralized anxiety.BPanic attacks.CSocial anxiety.DAcute anxiety attacks.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2019江西重点中学盟校高三第一次联考)You are enjoying a nice dream until your alarm suddenly rings. 16._.

But the truth is that.”可知，当提及非洲时，我们对它的误解很大。而第四段中也列举了非洲与我们想象中的不同之处。由此可知，我们对非洲有误解，真实的情况和我们想象中的有所不同。故选C项。6A解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的内容尤其是本段第一句可知，本文的主人公亲自游览非洲后，才对非洲有了真正的了解，由此可知，她会同意“眼见为实”这一观点。故选A项。7B解析：标题归纳题。综观全文可知，本文主人公之前对非洲有很多误解，但亲自游览非洲后，才对非洲有了正确且深入的了解，消除了之前对非洲的误解。故B项适合作本文的标题。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个农业旅游基地Food Print Farms建立的原因及其发展情况。8D解析：细节理解题。文章第二段提到AyersElliott毕业后回到家乡，看到到处有高血压、糖尿病、肥胖症和心脏病的报道，而且很多人身体严重不健康，却没有人对此进行研究，并且这里人们的很多健康挑战都由不良饮食引起，因此她决定建立Food Print Farms。9C解析：推理判断题。文章第三段第二句AyersElliott谈到了其成功的关键在于合作社模式，他们共同工作，共享回报；紧接着举Wingfield High School football team的例子正是为了支持这一观点，故选C。10A解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段中的“Im looking forward to.and spin it off in other communities”和“She is now looking forward to.they can sow in their own communities when they return home.”可知，AyersElliott对Food Print Farms的发展充满期待。由此可推知，她对Food Print Farms的未来持乐观的态度。11B解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Food Print Farms的情况生产新鲜、自然生长的食物，采用合作社模式，这对改善AyersElliott家乡当地人的饮食有很大作用，故选B。【长难句分析】She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.分析：这是一个主从复合句，where引导非限制性定语从句，and在此定语从句中连接三个并列的谓语；“they can sow in their own communities when they return home”是省略了that的定语从句，其中when引导时间状语从句。译文：她现在正期待着为农场开发一个农业旅游区域，在那里游客可以体验农场生活，学习新技能，并带走他们回家后可以在自己社区播种的灵感种子。【解题导语】文章主要介绍了几种不同类型的焦虑症及其症状。12A解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering(妨碍) with a persons daytoday life, or causing them a lot of unhappiness， says Nick Grey of Kings College London.”可知，临床上判断焦虑的情绪是否属于焦虑症的关键是确定这种焦虑的情绪是否正在影响一个人的日常生活，或是使他们感到不开心。结合选项可知，A项(和父母吵架)影响人的日常生活，会使人感到不开心，属于焦虑症，故选A项。13D解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的“social anxiety”可定位至第二段，再根据第二段中的“People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and after social events.”可知，社交焦虑症表现为在社交活动前、社交活动期间以及之后都出现持续且强烈的恐惧，由此可知，社交焦虑症的特征是持续不断的恐惧。故选D项。14A解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的“panic disor
