To make the tractors, Al baled round straw bales in two different sizes— smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部)．Large square bales made up the bodies.Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors.Then it was time to bring the tractors to life.Karen and her daughter, Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and Al got some red paint.Darla's husband, James, sprayed the_creation with a paint gun.For the finishing touches Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks(排气管), and Al and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.
The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season.It's just something fun to do together after harvest.This neighborhood has always been close.Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil.Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before.Al and Karen are truly super neighbors.Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away.Anyone can pick some, or Al and Karen will even deliver.And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.

(2018东北三省四城市联考暨沈阳市高三质量监测)The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized humanlike forms.The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.
The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s.Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.
The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world.There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries.But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.
The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn.These factors, combined with the existence of lightercolored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.
12．What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?
A．They were built as a big map.
B．They were formed by nature.
C．They are ancient lines in caves.
D．They are huge markings in a desert.
13．How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?
A．One. B．Two.
C．Three. D．Four.
14．Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?
A．Because of the wind at ground level.
B．Because of the existence of soft soil.
C．Because of the climate and geography.
D．Because of the thick sand on the top.
15．What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?
A．Nonstop. B．Everlasting.
C．Reallife. D．Highend.
【答案与解析】
12．D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句及对纳斯卡线条和其发现过程的具体介绍可知，纳斯卡线条是出现在秘鲁南部的纳斯卡地区的沙漠的大型古代地画。故选D项。
13．D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，四个因素使纳斯卡线条更独特更使人们难忘。故选D项。
14．C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，因为这里干燥少雨的气候和平坦多石的地形使纳斯卡地区的地画能被很好地保留。故选C项。
15．B 猜测词义题。文章最后一句指这些因素，加上沙漠表面下浅色地下土壤的存在，给那些想要永久留下印记的艺术家提供了一个巨大的书写板。“eternal”和everlasting同义，意为“永恒的”。
Ⅱ.七选五
Life is just like a box.Inside it are happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role in our life.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They tell us what is right or wrong，good or bad. 1 .It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. 2 .No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.
Success and Failure
3 .It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience. 4 ，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be right or dull. 5 ，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

【答案与解析】
1．C 上一句中提到作者相信付出什么就可以得到什么，而本句中的indirect表示“间接的”，由此可推测“通常”情况下，这种回报是间接的，而不是立竿见影的。
2．B 作者相信付出总有回报，通常情况下，这种回报是间接的，有时甚至难以“看出”。
3．D 此处与本段第一句后半部分中的“…what we put into it.”相呼应，意思是你的“付出”总可以得到回报。前三项都与本段第一句中的内容不符，而且偏离了文章的中心。
4．A 本段后半部分提到作者的继子即将从小学进入中学，这对孩子来说无疑是一件“大事”。下文提到作者的继子是想得到钢笔，而不是参加比赛，所以C项不正确。
5．A 此处所要表达的意思是即将迈入中学大门的小学毕业生先“尝试”一下中学生活，以便能够更好地适应以后的学习和生活。
6．B 即将进入中学的小学生提前体验中学生活的主要目的是让他们明白学校对他们的“期望”。
7．D 本段后半部分提到小学生使用的是铅笔，进入中学之后就需要使用钢笔，由此可知作者注意到他在存放钢笔和铅笔的箱子中“寻找”钢笔。
8．C 本句是把学生在小学和中学使用的书写工具进行对比，既然本句后半句表示的是转折关系，而且提到在中学使用的是钢笔，由此可知他们在小学使用的是“铅笔”。
9．D 本段前半部分提到他在存放钢笔和铅笔的盒子中寻找，而且进入中学后就需要用钢笔代替铅笔，由此可推测他是在“寻找”一支钢笔。
10．A 他在暑假结束后就要跨入中学的大门，而且还需要使用钢笔，可是从箱子中挑选出来的是一支破损的圆珠笔，所以作者于心不忍，认为他升入初中那天“值得”使用一支更好的笔。因此后三项不正确。
11．B 本段开头部分提到作者当时正在忙着做事，后来觉得他应该使用一支更好的笔，而不是那支破损的圆珠笔，由此可知作者“停止”了正在做的事情，从抽屉中拿出了自己最喜欢的钢笔。
12．C 上一句中提到作者从抽屉中拿出了自己最喜欢的钢笔，由此可知作者打算把这支钢笔送给自己的继子，而他自己将“失去”这支无比珍惜的钢笔。
13．C 虽然作者难以忍痛割爱，但是这是一个特殊的“时刻”，所以作者决定把自己最喜欢的钢笔送给继子。
14．A 上文提到作者是在忍痛割爱的情况下把这支钢笔送给了继子，再结合本句中的“deep”一词可推测作者的声音深沉而“严肃”。
15．D 作者是把自己最喜欢的钢笔给了继子，由此可知作者是把自己无比珍惜的东西传给了下一辈。在本句中，the next generation是you的同位语，所以空格处针对的是人，由此可排除前三项。
16．C 作者把自己最好的而且最喜欢的钢笔送给了继子，所以作者希望他能够保管好并“诚心诚意地”使用。
17．B 本句前半部分提到那天碰巧是作者的生日，后半部分叙述的则是作者刚度完周末回来，由此可推断此处表示的是转折关系。
18．C 本段开头部分提到当天恰好是作者的生日，而作者又刚度完周末，由此可推断作者没想能够收到更多的生日“礼物”。
19．A 本段前半部分提到作者回到家后没有想到能够收到更多的礼物，此时发现继子面带笑容站在自己面前并递过来一个包装精美的盒子，由此可知作者非常“惊奇”地打开了盒子。
20．D 此处是对本文中心的再次概括，说明付出总有回报是亘古不变的“真”理。

(2018·广东省深圳市高三第一次调研考试)A few years ago, Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆) at Al and Karen Goldman's farm in Idaho Falls to advertise her Upick pumpkin field.While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it.Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.
To make the tractors, Al baled round straw bales in two different sizes— smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部)．Large square bales made up the bodies.Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors.Then it was time to bring the tractors to life.Karen and her daughter, Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and Al got some red paint.Darla's husband, James, sprayed the_creation with a paint gun.For the finishing touches Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks(排气管), and Al and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.
The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season.It's just something fun to do together after harvest.This neighborhood has always been close.Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil.Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before.Al and Karen are truly super neighbors.Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away.Anyone can pick some, or Al and Karen will even deliver.And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.

【答案与解析】

(2018东北三省四城市联考暨沈阳市高三质量监测)The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized humanlike forms.The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.
The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s.Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.
The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world.There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries.But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.
The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn.These factors, combined with the existence of lightercolored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.
12．What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?
A．They were built as a big map.
B．They were formed by nature.
C．They are ancient lines in caves.
D．They are huge markings in a desert.
13．How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?
A．One. B．Two.
C．Three. D．Four.
14．Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?
A．Because of the wind at ground level.
B．Because of the existence of soft soil.
C．Because of the climate and geography.
D．Because of the thick sand on the top.
15．What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?
A．Nonstop. B．Everlasting.
C．Reallife. D．Highend.
【答案与解析】
12．D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句及对纳斯卡线条和其发现过程的具体介绍可知，纳斯卡线条是出现在秘鲁南部的纳斯卡地区的沙漠的大型古代地画。故选D项。
13．D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，四个因素使纳斯卡线条更独特更使人们难忘。故选D项。
14．C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，因为这里干燥少雨的气候和平坦多石的地形使纳斯卡地区的地画能被很好地保留。故选C项。
15．B 猜测词义题。文章最后一句指这些因素，加上沙漠表面下浅色地下土壤的存在，给那些想要永久留下印记的艺术家提供了一个巨大的书写板。“eternal”和everlasting同义，意为“永恒的”。

【答案与解析】
1．C 上一句中提到作者相信付出什么就可以得到什么，而本句中的indirect表示“间接的”，由此可推测“通常”情况下，这种回报是间接的，而不是立竿见影的。
2．B 作者相信付出总有回报，通常情况下，这种回报是间接的，有时甚至难以“看出”。
3．D 此处与本段第一句后半部分中的“…what we put into it.”相呼应，意思是你的“付出”总可以得到回报。前三项都与本段第一句中的内容不符，而且偏离了文章的中心。
4．A 本段后半部分提到作者的继子即将从小学进入中学，这对孩子来说无疑是一件“大事”。下文提到作者的继子是想得到钢笔，而不是参加比赛，所以C项不正确。
5．A 此处所要表达的意思是即将迈入中学大门的小学毕业生先“尝试”一下中学生活，以便能够更好地适应以后的学习和生活。
6．B 即将进入中学的小学生提前体验中学生活的主要目的是让他们明白学校对他们的“期望”。
7．D 本段后半部分提到小学生使用的是铅笔，进入中学之后就需要使用钢笔，由此可知作者注意到他在存放钢笔和铅笔的箱子中“寻找”钢笔。
8．C 本句是把学生在小学和中学使用的书写工具进行对比，既然本句后半句表示的是转折关系，而且提到在中学使用的是钢笔，由此可知他们在小学使用的是“铅笔”。
9．D 本段前半部分提到他在存放钢笔和铅笔的盒子中寻找，而且进入中学后就需要用钢笔代替铅笔，由此可推测他是在“寻找”一支钢笔。
10．A 他在暑假结束后就要跨入中学的大门，而且还需要使用钢笔，可是从箱子中挑选出来的是一支破损的圆珠笔，所以作者于心不忍，认为他升入初中那天“值得”使用一支更好的笔。因此后三项不正确。
11．B 本段开头部分提到作者当时正在忙着做事，后来觉得他应该使用一支更好的笔，而不是那支破损的圆珠笔，由此可知作者“停止”了正在做的事情，从抽屉中拿出了自己最喜欢的钢笔。
12．C 上一句中提到作者从抽屉中拿出了自己最喜欢的钢笔，由此可知作者打算把这支钢笔送给自己的继子，而他自己将“失去”这支无比珍惜的钢笔。
13．C 虽然作者难以忍痛割爱，但是这是一个特殊的“时刻”，所以作者决定把自己最喜欢的钢笔送给继子。
14．A 上文提到作者是在忍痛割爱的情况下把这支钢笔送给了继子，再结合本句中的“deep”一词可推测作者的声音深沉而“严肃”。
15．D 作者是把自己最喜欢的钢笔给了继子，由此可知作者是把自己无比珍惜的东西传给了下一辈。在本句中，the next generation是you的同位语，所以空格处针对的是人，由此可排除前三项。
16．C 作者把自己最好的而且最喜欢的钢笔送给了继子，所以作者希望他能够保管好并“诚心诚意地”使用。
17．B 本句前半部分提到那天碰巧是作者的生日，后半部分叙述的则是作者刚度完周末回来，由此可推断此处表示的是转折关系。
18．C 本段开头部分提到当天恰好是作者的生日，而作者又刚度完周末，由此可推断作者没想能够收到更多的生日“礼物”。
19．A 本段前半部分提到作者回到家后没有想到能够收到更多的礼物，此时发现继子面带笑容站在自己面前并递过来一个包装精美的盒子，由此可知作者非常“惊奇”地打开了盒子。
20．D 此处是对本文中心的再次概括，说明付出总有回报是亘古不变的“真”理。

Visiting the Museum of Hairy Monkeys
Last_week_my_classmates_and_I_went_to_the_Museum_of_Hairy_Monkeys_for_the_activity_of_promoting_intangible_cultural_heritage.
We arrived at the museum at 8 o'clock in the morning.Everyone was curious to know what hairy monkeys looked like and how they were made.First we followed an introduction.We learned the hairy monkey is a kind of folk handicraft of old Beijing and is now facing extinction.Then we looked at some typical handicrafts which looked a lot like monkeys.After that, we observed a craftsman making hairy monkeys, while someone took photos of it with great interest.We were all attracted by his techniques and felt proud of the folk art.At last each of us bought a hairy monkey and left the museum happily.
We hope that more artists will carry on and develop the folk art, a treasure unique to Beijing.
