[2019·海南五校一模]A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather. Prather
admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks (码头) into the ocean.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “He's going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.
“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help me，” Prather told CBS News.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。一个离家出走的少年捡到一个钱包并因此陷入困境，素不相识的酒吧老板的帮助使他走上了新的生活轨道。
【难句分析】 But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet.

分析：这是一个主从复合句。troubled by... woods在句中作原因状语，he could stay with... own feet为省略了that的宾语从句。
译文：但是由于担忧Prather在寒冷的树林中过夜，Gilleece告诉少年他可以和自己与自己的家人住在一起，直到他能够自立。
【习语积累】 1.be on the case处理事件(尤指刑事侦查) We have two agents on the case.我们有两名探员在侦察此案。 2．stand on one's own (two) feet自立，独立
When his parents died he had to learn to stand on his own two feet.他的父母去世后他不得不学会自立。
1．What happened to the newly married woman? A．She lost the wallet at the bar. B．She regretted charging Prather. C．She left her wallet on a bench. D．Her wallet was stolen by Prather.
答案与解析：C 考查细节理解。第一段说“she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket”，由此可知Gilleece查看视频发现有个少年在这位女士坐过的长凳上捡到这个钱包，所以这位女士是在等车的时候把钱包落在了长凳上，因此选C。
2．Why did Gilleece take Prather to the docks? A．To find the ring he had thrown. B．To help the police to catch him. C．To help pay for the woman's loss. D．To let him apologize to the woman.
答案与解析：A 考查推理判断。第三段说，警方希望Gilleece能把少年带去警局，但是Gilleece给警方打电话说“他明天会和我一起去码头”，第四段接着说，Gilleece请的两名潜水员在Prather扔掉钱包的水域寻找，由此推断，他带Prather去码头的目的是找到被Prather扔掉的戒指。
3．What did Gilleece do after the case was over? A．Rid Prather of the charge. B．Talk with Prather's family.

C．Help free Prather from prison. D．Get Prather to work in his bar.
答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。第四段谈到“Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar”，即Gilleece告诉Prather可以到自己家里住宿，直到他能够自立，并让他在自己的酒吧里工作，由此可知选D。
4．Which Can Be the Best Title for the Text? A．A Wedding Ring Was Recovered B．A Wallet Changed a Teen's Life C．Anyone Can Make a Difference D．A Kind Woman Saved a Teen
答案与解析：B 考查标题判断。本文讲述了一个少年捡到钱包并因此陷入困境，酒吧老板帮助该少年脱离困境开始新生活的故事，因此B项最适合作本文的标题。

[2019·洛阳市、许昌市第一次检测]Running may feel like a big task for most of us. But do you know our species has evolved to run better than any other animals on this planet? Cheetahs (猎豹) are the fastest land animals in the world. But do you know that humans can leave them in the dust? At least, in the long run, that's right. When it comes to endurance, we can outrun cheetahs, wolves and even horses. So what makes humans such endurance running superstars? The secret weapon is our sweat. We have 2 － 4 million sweat glands (腺) all over our body, which means we can run and cool ourselves at the same time. Having no fur is also a huge plus. In contrast, dogs rely on panting (喘息) to cool down, and other animals, like horses and camels, also sweat, but less effectively. As a result, they overheat faster and must slow down sooner.
So, why did humans get to be such great endurance runners, anyway? Some experts believe this became important around 2 － 3 million years ago, when we started hunting. Because we couldn't chase down a gazelle (瞪羚) like a cheetah, early humans learned hunting.
Studies show running can lower body weight and body fat. And the longer you train, the greater the benefits are. Just one year of training has been shown to reduce body weight by about 7 1bs, lower body fat by 2.7% and decrease resting heart rate by 2.7%.

marathon. But in fact, you were born to go on that run. We all were.
体裁：说明文 题材：科学研究 主题：人类的跑步能力
【语篇解读】 本文主要探究了人类天生具备的跑步能力。 【熟词生义】 train 常用义：n.火车
例句：This was the same woman I'd met on the train. 这正是我在火车上遇到的那名女子。 本句义：v.训练
例句：Our engineers will train your personnel and answer all the questions to the best of their ability.
我方工程师将培训你方人员并尽其所能回答所有问题。
【难句分析】 And the longer you train, the greater the benefits are.
分析：本句是“the＋比较级，the＋比较级”句型，意为“越……越……”。
译文：而且你训练得越久，益处就越大。
5．In the first paragraph, cheetahs are mentioned to ________. A．show cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world
B．introduce humans can run fastest on the planet in the long run C．contrast with wolves and even horses in one aspect of endurance D．inform running may be a big challenge for most of us humans 答案与解析：B 考查推理判断。根据第一段第四句和第五句“But do you know that humans can leave them in the dust? At least, in the long run, that's right”的转折可推知，第一段提到猎豹是为了和人类进行对比从而引出，从长远来看，人类是地球上跑得最快的。故选B。
干扰项分析：A项与第一段第四句“But do you know that humans can leave them in the dust”相悖；C项错在与狼甚至马在耐力方面进行比较，实际上是在耐力上，人类与这些动物进行比较，而不是猎豹与之比较；D项与本文的主题不符，故排除。
6．Why can we humans be endurance running superstars? A．We can pant to cool down our heat like dogs. B．We can sweat effectively like horses and camels. C．We have massive sweat glands and meanwhile no fur. D．We can run and overheat fastest to cool down ourselves.

英语学习讲义
答案与解析：C 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“We have 2 － 4 million sweat glands (腺) all over our body”“Having no fur is also a huge plus”可知，人类之所以在跑步方面耐力很强是因为人类有很多的汗腺，且没有动物的毛皮。故选C。
干扰项分析：A项错在我们和狗一样靠喘息来降温，这是一种效率不高的降温方式，与人类通过汗腺进行有效降温的方式形成对比；B项与第一段倒数第二句中的“and other animals, like horses and camels, also sweat, but less effectively”相悖，故排除；D项错在人类跑得最快并过热最快，这与第一段中的“we can run and cool ourselves at the same time”不符，故排除。
7．According to studies in the text, if you want to lose weight, what should you do?
A．Eat a variety of vegetables and less fat. B．Work out at the gym every day.
C．Exercise outside as much as you like. D．Conduct systematic training in running. 答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第三段前两句“Studies show running can lower body weight and body fat. And the longer you train, the greater the benefits are”，并结合题干可知，想减肥的人只要进行系统的跑步训练即可。故选D。
8．What does the author intend to emphasize in the last paragraph? A．Humans have great running ability by birth. B．Humans can chase down animals like cheetahs. C．Marathoners don't need hard training. D．Running can lower body weight and fat.
答案与解析：A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段第二句“But in fact, you were born to go on that run”并结合对全文的整体理解可推知，作者强调了人类在血统上就具备很强的跑步能力。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空
