  2.What does the underlined word "eligible" in Paragraph 3 mean?

  A.Similar.        B.Suitable.

  C.Popular. D.Convenient.

  B 解析:词义猜测题。根据本部分的小标题Guidelines及第三段第二句"Nominations must be for junior high or high school educators only."可知,提名必须只能是初中或高中的教师。画线词所在句是说小学教师没有提名资格,故画线词的词义与B项相近。

  3.When will the winners of the contest be announced?

  A.In December. B.All over the year.

  C.In January. D.Within this month.

  C 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句"Winners will be made public after the January issue is published."可知,比赛胜出者会在一月份期刊发行后公布。故选C。

  B

  (2019·太原二模)Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive­through window of a local café, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they're not already having one.

  Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a news website in November. He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast-he had saved a life.

  According to the website, someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th, he was planning on committing suicide. The writer said that while he was at the drive­through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked__up__the__tab and told him to have a great day.

  "I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason," said the writer. "Why me? Why today? If I were a religious man, I would take this as a sign. This random act of kindness was directed at me on this day for a purpose."

When the writer arrived home, he couldn't hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. "I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house."
