loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.the store manager, brian alvarado, told the independent, “whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn.

stay fresh, the real skeletons in our cupboards are those pieces we bought and only wore once or twice mostly from following each seasons new trends.with fast fashion brands like forever 21, h&m and

production of clothing, arent just hard on our wallets they are hard on the environment.one of the first steps in getting unwanted clothes out of your cupboard is to sell or consign (寄送) them. but

waiting for the eventual rescue that came on monday morning，four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.”可知，当这家面包房的员工们在等待周一上午的最终救援时，四人决定为他们的社区制作尽可能多的面包，故选a项。2d考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.”可知，相反，我们应该采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助他人。由instead可知，forlorn的语义与positive的意思相反，故forlorn与desperate(绝望的)意思相近，故选d项。3b考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“they took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.”可知，他们利用应急电源烤面包。由此可推知，哈维飓风造成休斯敦停电，故选b项。4d考查主旨大意。根据文章第二、三段的内容和最后一段中的“our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”可知，d项(在面对哈维飓风时，烤面包起了很大作用)作为标题最能概括全文内容，故选d项。b体裁：说明文题材：社会生活主题：废旧衣物【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了快时尚品牌加剧了衣物的淘汰，而大量的废旧衣物对环境造成了很大影响，然而一些废旧衣物可以重新被利用或出售。【熟词生义】profit n利润例句：the shops daily profit is usually around $500.这家商店每天的利润一般在500美元左右。本句义：v.获益例句：farmers are profiting from the new legislation.新法规使农民受益。【难句分析】for those of us who attempt to keep up with the fashion world to ensure our cupboards stay fresh, the real skeletons in our cupboards are those pieces we bought and only wore once or twice mostly from following each seasons new trends.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“who attempt to. stay fresh”为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“those of us”，who在从句中作主语；“we bought and only wore once or twice”为省略了that的定语从句。译文：对于我们中那些试图跟上时尚潮流，以确保我们的衣柜保持亮丽的人来说，衣柜里真正的框架是那些我们买来只穿过一两次的衣服大多是追随每一季的新潮流。5d考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“with fast fashion brands like forever 21, h&m and zaras constant output of new trendy clothing at low prices”可知，这些品牌持续吸引顾客的是不断翻新的花样，以及低廉的价格，故选d。6c考查细节理解。根据第四段第二句中的“the united states generated 16.22 million tons of waste textiles in 2017 and recycled only 2.62 million tons”可知，该段用数据证明了废旧的衣物给环境造成的影响，而正是快时尚品牌加剧了衣物的淘汰，故选c。7a考查推理判断。根据第六段中的“the clothing from the display was donated to rewearable, a long island recycling program that collects old clothes and textiles”可知，vetements将展示的旧衣物捐赠了出去，从而可以让衣物重新出售，或者将纺织品重新利用。由此可推知，这样做可以保护环境，故选a。8d考查主旨大意。文章第一至四段讲述了追随潮流而购买的衣物，变成旧衣物之后，不但浪费钱，而且还会给环境带来危害；文章第五、六段列举了vetements的例子，表明旧衣物可以重新被利用起来，从而减少对环境的危害。由此可推知，d项符合题意。.完形填空体裁：记叙文主题语境：人与自我个人经历发现生活的真谛【语篇解读】餐馆生意失败后作者和妻子一起去了得克萨斯州。作者在帕罗杜洛峡谷州立公园的入口处，看到了招聘公园管理人员的广告。作者因为这个岗位能提供免费的野营地而去参加应聘。然后他与妻子一起在野营卡车里过了几周的艰苦生活，但是这样的生活使作者能够和妻子紧靠在一起阅读和交谈。最终，作者不仅对所经历的磨难充满感激，而且回归了家庭，并最终爱上峡谷公园的一切。1d招聘广告一般都贴在入口处。edge“边缘”；entrance“入口”。2c作者注意到一则招聘公园管理人员的广告。sponsor“赞助”；publish“出版”。3b根据下文中的“a rentfree place”可知，这个岗位提供一个免费的、永久性的营地。4a根据空前表述这个岗位提供永久性的营地和空后的这个岗位的职责并结合选项可知，此处应是作为回报，这些被招聘来的管理人员在公园游客和护林人员之间起联系作用。in return“作为回报”；in time“及时”；in short“总而言之”；in turn“轮流；转而”。5d根据第10空前一句“the next day we met with the people who ran the park”可知，此处是作者与招聘人员约好第二天见面。agreement“同意；协议”；appeal“呼吁；吸引力”；appointment“预约；约会；约定”。6a根据空后的“so it took us some time to find an available site”可知，作者花了一些时间才找到可用的位置，故可反推出：公园是十分拥挤的。crowded“拥挤的”；ideal“理想的”。7b根据语境可知，看到两只臭鼬爬过来，作者和妻子立即爬到桌子上。repeatedly“反复地”。8b根据该句中的“waited for them”和语境可知，此处表示作者和妻子等着臭鼬离开。9c根据空处前后的内容可知，那一夜他们有惊无险地度过了，所以此处作者很自信其他一切都会好起来的。satisfied“满意的”；determined“有决心的”；aware“知道的，意识到的”。10a根据空前一句可知，作者与招聘人员见了面，招聘人员肯定要向作者说明作者他们的工作职责。requirement“要求”；circumstance“情况，情形”。11d根据第13空后的“winds”可知，此处表达的是，那天夜里他们遭遇了峡谷狂风。与上文他们自信地认为一切都会好起来形成转折，故用however“但是，然而”。moreover“此外，而且”。12a参见上题解析。13a根据空前一句“they were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently”可知，狂风摇动着野营车，作者和妻子也随之摇动直到狂风渐息。shake“摇动”；quarrel“争吵”；mourn“哀悼；忧伤”；ache“疼痛”。14c根据语境可知，在接下来的几周时间里，作者和妻子学会了在卡车中生存并设法依靠妻子临时代课挣来的少量的钱生活。15c参见上题解析。give away“赠送；泄露”；hand out“分发”；live on“依靠生活”；put aside“忽视；储存”。16b参见第14题解析。post“邮寄；张贴”；raise“举起；筹集”。17c根据下文中的“i might lose my family as well”可知，此处表达的是开了一个成功的店，然后又失去了它，(这一过程)使得作者很少有时间建立一个成功的家庭，故选c。18b根据第一段第一句中的“when our restaurant business failed”可知，此处是生意失败后的一段时间内，作者认为自己连家也可能失去。fail“失败”；expand“扩大”；decline“下降；拒绝”。19a根据上文中的“survive in our truck”可知，此处表示作者夫妻俩生活在无电视的狭小的野营车内。20d根据本段最后一句“we had become a family”和空前的“a jeweled sky”可知，此处应是作者对过去的磨难充满了感激。desperate“绝望的”；suit
