Her annual visits to the Caribbean island from her home in California shaped her life and inspired her to bee a poet and writer. The Poetry Foundation recently named her its Young Peoples Poet Laureate, a role Engle plans to use to encourage children and teenagers to write down their feelings.Magic happens when you put your emotions (情感) in writing, she said.Engle says she has always liked poetry. At age 6, she wrote her first poem about nature. After looking around while taking a walk one day in California, she wrote a rhymed poem about the shapes of hills. As a teen, she wrote sonnets (十四行诗) about nature and stories about people in Cuba.Some of her books explore the island, its people, markets and landmarks. Her new picture book, All the Way to Havana, features American cars from the 1940s and 1950s. Forest World, a new novel, introduces Edver to readers, an 11yearold who lives in Miami, Florida, with his mother and is shipped off to Cuba to see his birthplace and meet his Cuban family. When he arrives in Havana, the capital, he learns he has an older sister, Luza, who stayed on the island with her father and grandfather. The two go on an adventure into a Cuban forest.The emotions of the characters are similar to what many children feel when they are separated from loved ones, Engle said. She hopes that people facing similar challenges can find support and fort in poetry.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Engle童年时每年往返于古巴和美国，这让她亲近自然，并激发了她的创作热情，最终成为一位知名的诗人兼作家。4What made Engle a poet?AHer visits to Cuba.BDays spent in California.CMagic skills in practicing writing.DEncouragement from the Poetry Foundation.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her annual visits to the Caribbean island from her home in California shaped her life and inspired her to bee a poet and writer”可知A项正确。5We can learn from the text that young Engle probably _.Aenjoyed indoor gamesBfound inspiration in natureCliked exploring cities in FloridaDmade friends with Cuban people解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段和第四段中的“At age 6, she wrote her first poem about nature . she wrote sonnets (十四行诗) about nature”可知，儿时的Engle爱上了大自然，还写了关于大自然的诗，因此她从大自然中获得了创作灵感，故选B。6What is TRUE about Forest World?AIt is a new picture book.BIt is based on a reallife event.CIt talks about an adventure story.DIt describes family ties between countries.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第五段提到的小说Forest World的内容可知，该书描写的是Edver离开美国佛罗里达州前往古巴哈瓦那探亲的故事，揭示的是分隔在两个国家的家庭亲情，故选D。7What does Engle stress in the last paragraph?AThe frequent changes of emotions.BThe challenges in writing poems.CThe separations from family members.DThe links between life and literature.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Engle认为无论是在作品中还是在现实中，孩子离别亲人时心底迸发的情感有相似之处，她希望面临这种处境的人能从诗歌中寻觅到支持和慰藉。故Engle在此强调生活与文学作品的联系。CThink of a seed buried in a pot. Its dark down there in the potting soil. Theres no light, no sunshine. So how does it know which way is up and which way is down? It does know. Seeds routinely send shoots up toward the sky, and roots the other way. Darkness doesnt confuse them. Somehow, they get it right.More amazingly, if you turn a seedling (秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down, as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago, the tips and roots of the plant will sense, “Hey, Im upside down，” and will wiggle (扭动) their way to the right direction, doing a Uturn.How do they know? According to botanist Daniel Chamovitz, Thomas Knight about 200 years ago assumed that plants must sense gravity. Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate.He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc. The plate was then turned by a water wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions per minute for several days.If youve ever been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup, you know that because of centrifugal (离心的) force you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.Knight wondered, would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate? When he looked, thats what theyd done. Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots pointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.语篇解读：本文为说明文。植物能辨别方向，但植物是怎么做到的呢？事实是，植物通过感知引力来辨别方向。作者借助Knight的圆盘试验说明植物能够并确实感知到引力。8How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2?ABy lively description.BBy accurate statement.CBy objective presentation.DBy gentle persuasion.解析：选A写作手法题。从第二段中的“Hey, Im upside down， and will wiggle (扭动) their way to the right direction, doing a Uturn”得知，作者对这株幼苗的描写十分生动形象。9What determines the direction the plants choose?ASoil. BSunshine.CDarkness. DThe pull of the earth.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段得知，土壤、阳光和黑暗均不决定植物对方向的判定；根据第三段的内容和最后一段Knight的圆盘试验结果得知，地球引力影响植物对方向的判定。10What did Knights experiment prove?APlants can tell up from down.BPlants can feel gravity.CSpeed influences plants growing.DPlants have their own desires.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thomas Knight about 200 years ago assumed that plants must sense gravity. Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate”得知，Knight 的圆盘试验证明植物能够感知到引力。11Whats the best title for the text?AWhat does a plant know?BWhich direction do plants grow in?CHow do plants decide: up or down?DWhy do plants grow towards the sun?解析：选C标题归纳题。本文重点讲述的是植物是怎么辨别生长方向的，故选C。DIn our research, we surveyed nearly 1,400 consumers about what they had eaten over the last 24 hours and how often they bought foods at supermarkets. We also took note of individual characteristics. When it came to making unhealthy food choices, a consumers individual characteristics mattered more than where they shopped.Young consumers were less likely to eat fruits and vegetables. People without college degrees consumed significantly more sugar and butter. With age and education came better eating habits. Older people and college graduates ate more fruits and vegetables.The clear role played by these connections argues for approaches to helping people improve the diet choices they make. Particularly when it es to eating less junk food, targeted interventions (干预) are needed in addition to building supermarkets and stocking them with “good for you” foods. Policymakers should consider putting in place proven strategies (策略) that push consumers to change their shopping behaviors, such as taxing foods high in added sugars.In 2014, Berkeley became the first city in the US. to put a tax on sugarsweetened drinks, and consumption of such drinks dropped by more than 20 percent. In Mexico, an 8 percent tax on highcalorie foods put in place the same year reduced junk food purchases by about 5 percent.Evidence that people with lower levels of education may be more likely to reduce their consumption of sugarsweetened drinks in the face of such a tax also es from Mexico. With more US. cities following suit, muchneeded additional research should follow on whether these taxes effectively reduce consumption.Some strategies that are not obvious and are aimed at changing individual behaviors also could make a difference in eating and shopping habits. Instore marketing where and how foods are put has shown promise of increasing the sales of healthy foods in supermarkets of lowine neighborhoods.Technology may also play a role. Research has shown that just being exposed to electronically delivered dietary feedback (反馈), including advice on how to eat more fruits and vegetables, led to increased consumption of such foods among lowerine individuals with lower levels of education.语篇解读：本文为议论文。研究发现，个人特点，如年龄和受教育程度，与个人饮食习惯存在关联。对此，作者提到从税收政策、市场营销和科技三个方面来改善个人饮食习惯。12Which of the following would the author agree from the first paragraph?APersonal tastes vary greatly.BYou are what you eat.CYou eat what you are.DMore supermarkets should be built.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“a consumers individual characteristics mattered more than where they shopped”得知，在选择食品时，消费者的个人特点要比购物地点更有决定性，因为年龄和受教育程度决定购买食品的种类，进而形成饮食习惯，即你的个人特点决定你的饮食习惯。第二段对此阐释得更加清楚，故C项最佳。13What does the underlined word “connections” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AEducation backgrounds decide economic ine.BAge and education affect the choices of foods.COlder consumers tend to buy cheap foods.DIndividual characteristics influence where to shop.解析：选B名词指代题。根据第二段中的“With age and education came better eating habits”得知，饮食习惯受年龄和受教育程度的影响，故此处connections指上文提及的年龄和受教育程度与个人饮食习惯之间的关联，故选B。14How does the author feel about the taxes?ADoubtful. BOpposed.CIndifferent. DCautious.解析：选D观点态度题。从第四段的数字得知，作者认为征税政策在特定城市的确有效，再结合第五段中的“With more US. cities following suit, muchneeded additional research should follow on whether these taxes effectively reduce consumption”得知，作者认为征税政策的效果还需进一步论证，故作者对征税的做法持谨慎态度，故选D。15What does the author mainly talk about in the text?AAdvice on improving eating habits.BThe importance of healthy foods.CPeoples different food preferences.DA latest research discovery.解析：选A主旨大意题。作者开篇提到一项研究发现，由此引出改善个人饮食习惯的几种方法。故作者主要在文中谈了改善个人饮食习惯的方法，故选A。.阅读七选五(2019重庆市九校联考)Experiencing bad dreams every night can be frightening for anybody.
