[2020·广东省高三六校第一次联考] My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr.Creech, who knew I couldn't read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn't happen again. Later that day, Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you？” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me，” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English. The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
“I'm so glad I had a chance to see you，” I said. “And Mr.Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn't all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well，” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name：dyslexia(诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
4．Why did the author want to hide?
A．Because he felt sorry for himself. B．Because he hated being laughed at.
C．Because he couldn't read at all. D．Because he didn't have a ticket.
5．Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?
A．Considerate and dutiful. B．Demanding and enthusiastic.
C．Emotional and dedicated. D．Friendly and ambitious.
6．Why couldn't the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?
A．Because his reading age was not long enough.
B．Because his parents didn't teach him how to read.
C．Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D．Because he didn't have inner driving force to learn to read.
7．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.
B．The author had become a published author and an active speaker.
C．Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.
D．The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.

[2020·大连高三一模] Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon－a total lunar eclipse(月食) — on the roof of their house.
Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.
She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.
“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search，” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density(密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”
“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world，”Dobek says.
Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or SelfGrowing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.
Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design. A simulator(模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.
“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”
9．Dobek first became interested in space when ________.
A．she was still a seventh grader B．she studied at a junior high school
C．she lived on the top of their house D．she watched an eclipse of the moon
10．Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because ______.
A．she knew Dobek liked challenges in life
B．she had no other students interested in Mars
C．Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts
D．she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance
11．What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?
A．The environment on Mars. B．The safety of the supplies.
C．The activities for astronauts. D．The comfort of the astronauts.

[2020·成都第三次诊断]
Climate change is perhaps the key issue of our time. Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.
The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffeegrowing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.
Coffea arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a halfdegree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.
In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by 1.3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.
Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.
Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies. Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee; their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.
As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive, and it may also carry an aftertaste more bitter than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.
12．What does the underlined word “adversely” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．Slightly. B．Temporarily. C．Harmfully. D．Gradually.
13．Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?
A．To adapt to the change of temperature. B．To increase the quality of the products.
C．To reduce the cost of coffee production. D．To get access to water supply more easily.
14．What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?
A．The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.
B．Small changes may have large effects in general.
C．Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
D．Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.
15．How does the author feel about the future of coffee production?
A．Cautious. B．Worried. C．Unconcerned. D．Hopeful.

[2020·昆明质量检测] Is there a best way to pack clothes? The following ideas are of great help to those who are always on the way.
Where to start?
__16__ Once you see how much you lay in front of you, be brave and reduce about a third. Because the truth is like your wardrobe, you never seem to use as much as you take.
How to deal with clothing?
Start with your shoes. Put stockings or socks inside of them to hold the shape of your shoes. Thus, you can make use of every square inch of space. Once your shoes are firmly in place, fill small gaps with very soft items. __17__
Lay out the first clothes with one end inside the suitcase and the other end dropping over the edge. Put the next clothes on top of this, but place them the other way around. __18__ In this way, you'll get another flat layer soon. Finally one by one, fold the clothes back in.
Where to put non­clothing?
__19__ These awkward shaped items are difficult to pack. You'd better put them towards the middle to give maximum protection. Remember to double bag your toiletries(洗漱用品) kit to avoid spotting your clothes.
Top tips：
If you take belts, slip them along the inside of your case. __20__ That will take more space. Next, use the hard shape of the case to offer protection. Leave your toiletries kit in your suitcase, when you return home. It's ready for the next time you travel.
A．Don't roll belts up.
B．Be sure to put away socks.
C．This idea will create a flat first layer.
D．And then continue laying other clothes.
E．That will make the job a whole lot easier.
