He has worked with famous actors, directors and producers, and he has traveled all over the world. But that doesnt mean his work is easy.It took him years of hard work to get where he is today. Deadricks father, Vince Deadrick Sr., was also a stuntman, but his family connection didnt give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business.

When he hires a new stunt performer, he looks for a professional.“Youre only as good as the people you hire，” he says.

With over 40 years in the business, Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.Though he has a large amount of responsibility, Deadrick loves his job.“Im in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors, keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive.

It was a career move for my husband, and our 20yearold daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to e, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79yearold mother suffered a stroke (中風). Being strong and independent, she continues to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldnt look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organization. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking for Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydneys North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.Finally, there are all those wonderful people who we call “clients (客戶)”， but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and stories they have to tell the family histories, where they e from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了作者移居悉尼后加入了Easy Care Gardening 組織，成了一名園藝志愿者的故事，以及作者加入這個組織的原因。8Why did the author move to Sydney?AShe planned to volunteer there.BHer husband would work there.CShe was very keen on adventures.DShe had to look after her sick mother.解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“It was a career move for my husband”可知，作者移居悉尼是因為她丈夫的工作變動，故選B項。9What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer?AHer own experience.BThe tips of her friends.CThe popularity of ECG.DHer gardening skills.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“However, just before leaving England, my 79yearold mother suffered a stroke (中風) . But she couldnt look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help”可知，作者的母親因為中風無法照料花園，因此作者希望有一個能提供園藝志愿服務的組織。所以，作者選擇成為一名園藝志愿者是因為她自己的經歷。故選A項。10What do the volunteers at ECG have in mon?AThey make friends with their clients.BThey like to explore Sydneys North Shore.CThey are of similar age and background.DThey are kindhearted with the same interest.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others”可知，ECG的志愿者雖然年齡跨度很大，但是都喜愛花園和幫助他人。D項“他們都很熱心腸，有著同樣的愛好”符合文意，故選D項。11What does the underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refer to?AClient. BReason.CGarden. DJoy.解析：選C代詞指代題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句的前一句“I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years”可知，作者覺得能夠進入私人花園是一種特權，在許多情況下，私人花園都是花園主人的樂趣所在。根據(jù)語境和畫線詞所在句的前后句子中的“gardens”可知，“one”指的就是“garden”，故選C項。D(2019洛陽第一次統(tǒng)考)It is quite apparent that petition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rain forest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (靈長目動物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without petition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.The friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves petition. It isnt petition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prizes. Perhaps the ecological definition the simultaneous (同時的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light better explains it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution, overpopulation, and petition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分類) take place. In high school, friendship coexists with petition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, petition is too much of a burden for friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, petition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. Healthy, friendly petition can have only benefits, but when it bees too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendship apart. Yet, despite all this, without petition, we would be lost.語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文，主要論述了友誼和競爭之間的關系，健康的競爭促進友誼，而惡性的競爭則破壞友誼。12What does the ecological definition mainly explain?AHow friends pete with each other.BHow to win the petition.CWhat the result of petition is.DWhat petition exactly is.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。分析第二段最后一句可知，該句的主干是Perhaps the ecological definition better explains it，其中“it”指代的是前一句中的“petition”。兩個破折號之間的內容解釋“the ecological definition”。句意：兩個或者更多的生物體同時對有限的生態(tài)環(huán)境資源有需求，如營養(yǎng)物質、生存空間、光這一生態(tài)學定義更好地解釋了競爭(的含義)。故選D項。13According to the author, what causes the high school students to pete?AThe number of them is too large.BFriendship is a burden for them.CThey know the laws of nature well.DThey are divided into different groups.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內容可知，高中生活與自然界一樣有一系列的規(guī)則，這與達爾文關于進化、人口過多和競爭的理論相似。也正是因為學生人數(shù)眾多，為了區(qū)分，所以對學生進行了排名、分類。再加上考大學這一高中生活的最終目標的壓力，高中生之間的競爭就不可避免地產生了。故選A項。14Which best describes the relationship of friendship and petition?AFriendship is always based on petition.BThe degree of petition is vital to friendship.Cpetition is terribly harmful to friendship.Dpetition is a result of lost friendship.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Healthy, friendly petition can have only benefits, but when it bees too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendship apart”可知，健康的、友好的競爭對友誼有好處，而過于激烈的、存在妒忌的競爭會使友誼破裂。因此競爭的度對友誼是至關重要的。故選B項。15What does the author think of “petition”？AThe results of petition are out of control.Bpetition bees fiercer in high school.Cpetition is certain to happen in high school.DFriendship is not as important as petition in high schools.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Nevertheless, by necessity, petition between students exists in all aspects of high school life”可知，作者認為高中生活的各個方面存在競爭是必然的。故選C項。.閱讀七選五(2019重慶調研)Though Thaler, a behaviorism psychologist, hasnt specifically studied the field of munication, his principle works just as well if your mission is to reach and engage your audience. “If you want to get somebody to do something, make it easy.” _16_ Herere the ways of applying Thalers approach：Develop a single high concept to summarize your message. The idea is that to make it easy for your audience, you should distill (提煉) what youre trying to convey in a short phrase or sentence.Lead with your point. And now that youve figured out the most important message to municate, you should make that your headline or subject line. _17_ It attracts their attention. It promises the solution to a problem.Emphasize the benefit. Answer your audiences key questions: “_18_” “Whats in it for me？”Be briefer than you ever thought possible. Dont worry about the word count; just cut and cut until only the most important is left._19_ Were living in a visually mediated society, and most people would much rather watch a video or scan a photo or spend time on an infographic (信息圖) than read.Reduce friction. In munication, friction occurs when an audience member is intrigued (使著迷) by a topic, but then meets with resistance on his or her quest (追求) to engage with content._20_ Provide a clear way to learn more. Most people will want just a bite of information, but some will long for a snack. So provide an easy way to get more substance.AWhy do you think so?BHow does this affect me?CUse visuals to instantly convey your meaning.DThats the first thing audience members notice.ESo you should lower your voice before the audience.FSo think about how to make the experience easier.GHow does this relate to improving munication?語篇解讀：本文是說明文，主要介紹了與觀眾交流溝通時的一些技巧。16解析：選G該空前講到Thaler所提出的原理同樣適用于與觀眾的交流溝通中，空后的句子“Herere the ways of applying Thalers approach”表示作者下面要介紹Thaler的原理如何適用于與觀眾的交流溝通中，故空處為一個過渡句，而G項“這與改善交流溝通有什么關系呢？”符合文意，所以選G項。17解析：選D根據(jù)該空前一句可知，把最重要的信息置于頭條，這樣觀眾第一眼就能夠注意到，所以選D項。18解析：選B根據(jù)該空前的句子“Answer your audiences key questions”以及空后的句子可知，空處應是問句，又根據(jù)第二個句子的特點和本段的主題“Emphasize the benefit”可知，應選B項。19解析：選C本題考查段落的主題句。本段的關鍵信息visually mediated與C項中的visuals相照應，所以選C項。20解析：選F本空位于句末，空前提到與觀眾產生摩擦及其原因，故空處應講如何減少與觀眾的摩擦，F(xiàn)項中的the experience指的就是前面提到的與觀眾產生摩擦。所以選F項。課時練(二)語言知識運用組塊專練練準度(限時：30分鐘).完形填空(2019呼和浩特調研)I love the feeling of exchanging goods with my parents.
