His first post explored the use of English font (字体) on Hong Kong's road signs. “That post surprisingly received many likes and shares, so it got me thinking abo ut expanding my audience,” he recalled.In 2016, the enthusiast collected 50 Chinese characters from Hong Kong's road signs and outlined and uploaded the image to his Facebook account. A friend suggested turning this collection into a font. Yau saw it as a means to preserve a cherished aspect of Hong Kong's history. About twenty years ago, many of the city's signs featured handcrafted characters made by prisoners. However, as design technology adsances, these tradi tional signs are gradually being replaced,Following. yisits the remaining traditional road signs in the city, Yau's team had outliried approximatel y 500 characters. Yet, this fell short of the 7,000 Chinese characters required for practical use by those who us e Chinese daily. Faced with this limitation, the team began ercating new characters by mixing and matching existing components, adjusting line thickness, and modifying radicals (部首). For instance, when they couldn' t locate the Chinese character for“prison” on any existing signs, they designed one from scratch. This process英语测试题第2页 (共10页)involved extensive trial and error.After six years of dedicated effort, Yau found motivation in the constant enthusiasm of his follower s. “They’ ve been cagerly anticipating this project for as long as l' ve been working on it,” he remarked. “O ne even expressed that he had been waiting for this font since his first year of secondary school. Now, as a sixth grader, his wait is finally over.Yau is thrilled to witness how his followers will use this digital font.“I cannot own a road sign. but what I can do is digitize it,” Yau said. “I did not want to just document it but develop it into something we can use in daily life. This is a way to preserve Hong Kong's visual cultural memory.”4. What inspired Yau to design a font?A. His interest in road signs.B. His popularity with his fans.C. His desire to restore history.D. His passion for city planning.5. Why did Yau's team create new characters?A. To combine the components.B. To meet the need of daily use.C. To set limitation to the characters.D. To replace the traditional road signs.6. Why did the writer mention Yau's followers?A. To highlight their dedicated cfYort.B. To show their support to the project.C. To explain their role in digitizing the font.D. To indicate their passion to share his posts.7. Which of the following can best describe Yau?A. Practical and efficient.B. Confident and resourceful.C. Determined and innovative.D. Ambitious and competitive.CThe field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamen tal biology of ageing which are translated into experimental therapies (疗法). The latest fountain of youth to pour from the lab comes in the form of vaccines (疫苗) against age-related conditions—— cancer, heart dise ase, dementia and more. The first of these could be available by the end of the decade. All-purpose anti-agei ng injections are also in development.The upsides of such vaccines are clear. Anything that limits the impact of age-related conditions on people who live into old age— not to mention on the loved ones who often end up caring for them— has to be welcomed. They also promise to lessen effect on the increasingly societal and economic costs of these dis eases.英语测试题第3页 (共10页)But as with all anti-ageing interventions, there are potential downsides too. If millions of people livesignificantly longer, we risk a population explosion on a planet whose resources are already overstretched. If t he vaccines merely delay the beginning of age-related conditions, they will only postpone the burden on peopl e and society. And as Nobcl prizewinner Venki Ramakrishnan told us carlier this year. a long-lived society islikely to be an unmoving one. These are familiar fears. The common answer is that the goal is increased healt hspan. That means people living for longer. free from the diseases of old age, then suddenly declining anddying.We wońt know the-outcome until : the therapies have been widely used, at which point it will be too late to put the genie back in the bottle. But there is really no turning back anyway. If vaccines and other anti-ageing therapies work and are affordable, they will be used. Besides, nɔbody would argue that innovation s like antibiotics, vaccines and advanced diagnostics were a bad idea even though they marked the beginning of our era of age-related diseases. Similarly, we shouldn't fear life-saving medical advances on the basis of un intended consequences. If we can make lives longer and less painful, the downsides are a price worth paying.8. Why is the field of anti-ageing medicine growing rapidly?A. The biology of ageing is better applied.B. The trend of healthy lifestyle is rising.C. The demand for longer life is increasing.D. The number of elderly is rising globally.9. How do anti-ageing vaccines benefit society?A. By increasing the workforce.B. By curing people of diseases.C. By boosting economic growth.D. By reducing healthcare expense.10. What does the underlined phrase“put the genie back in the bottle” mean?A. To stop the process of ageing.B. To erase the impact of the therapics.C. To create a new medical breakthrough.D. To delay the development of technology.11. What is the best title for this article?A. Can Anti-Ageing Medicine Really Work?B. What Is the Risk of Anti-Ageing Medicine?C. How to Stay Young with Anti-Ageing Medicine?D. Is It Worthwhile Using Anti-Ageing Medicine?英语测试题第4页 (共10页)DFranz Katka (卡夫卡) died 100 years ago with his literary works unnoticed. He had instructed his friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished works. Brod did not: he believed Kafka to be a literary genius and publishe d his late friend's writing. In other words, Brod decided that Kafka's stories belonged not to the late author, but to the public.Brod's dilemma echoes today. People generate' more data than ever, which, unlike physical bodies, does not disappear. According to Carl Ohman, a Swedish political scientist. this condition makes the modern world“post-mortal”(死后的).“Living in the post-mortał condition is to constantly find oneself in the shoes of Max Brod", he observes.The digital era has reshaped humans’ relationship with the dead—— as seen in social media reminders for birthdays of dead individuals. Such reminders are to grow more common: Mr. Ohman's research has foun d that on Facebook the dead may well outnumber the living within 40 years. Advanced technology enables a continued relationship with the dead, such as Amazon's development of a feature for Alexa, virtual assistant, to speak in the voice of a lost relative. Startups have used data to make chatbots of the dead-to strengthen use rs’ commercial relationship, Mr. Ohman points out.At the root of Ohman's book The Aftorlife of Data is various complex philosophical questions. To whom do the dead's data belong? Are data something people create, or a digital analogue (类比) to a physical body? If data are a digital form of the body, what responsibilities does the living have? These are not merel y questions for individuals but for society. After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their write rs may have preferred to keep them private, but the light that such documents can shine on humanity's past outweighs the late owner's wishes. Mr. Ohman: notes that data constitute“the biggest database of human behavioùr in the history of our species”. And he urges that the social media firms should think twice in terms of how they handle digital remains.12. What is the function of paragraph 1?A. To emphasize Kafka's literary talent.B. To lead to the discussion on data handling.C. To praise the act to publish Kafka's works.D. To write an introduction for Ohman's book.13. Why do people buy Alexa, the virtual assistant?A. To create a digital database.B. To control devices by voice.C. To access information quickly.D. To communicate with the dead.14. What problem will people face in post-mortal world according to the passage?A. How to manage the dead's data.B. How to realize the dead's wishes.C. How to protect the dead's privacy.D. How to restore the dead's. belongings.15. Which of the following will Mr. Ohman probably agree with?A. Data should be in the possession of individuals.B. Historians should control access to digital remains.C. Data's historical value is more important than the dead's will.D. Social media firms should be fined for misuse of digital remains.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)在后面的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读 (共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出最佳选项。
AChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum. Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B—Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary’s Church Tower and Anne Hathaway’s house—£32 until 12 March and £36 thereafter.Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England’s oldest university city and colleges.

Free time to visit Windsor Castle (entrance fees not included). With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. Visit the palace and its various historic gardens, which include the famous maze (迷宫) where it is easy to get lost!Tour D—Cambridge including entrance fees to the Tower of Saint Mary the Great—£33 until 18 March and £37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Cambridge, the famous university town, and the gardens of the 18th century.1. Which tour will you choose if you want to see England's oldest university city?A. Tour A.B. Tour B.C. Tour C.D. Tour D.2. Which of the following tours charges the lowest fee on 17 March?A. Cambridge.B. Oxford & Stratford.C. Bath & Stonehenge.D. Windsor Castle & Hampton Court.3. Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction?A. It is a world-famous castle.B. It is the oldest palace in Britain.C. It used to be a well-known maze.D. It used to be the residence of royal families.BThey talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.I was going along fine—with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHeartlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. He fell for a marketing trick.B. He was driven mad by passwords.C. He had a serious memory disorder.D. He was rejected by the gas station.5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to .A. show how secure his passwords wereB. challenge the intelligence of scientistsC. prove the uselessness of his passwordsD. promote a more scientific password system6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.B. To recommend a password-remembering method.C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.7. What is the tone of the text?A. Inspiring.B. Indifferent.C. Humorous.D. Serious.CNew technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about Al and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathetic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In Chapter Eight, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design,” or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.8. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?A. The impact of AI on future employment.B. The approach to living and working with AI.C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.9. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?A. To explain how to do care work.B. To argue against the automation technology.C. To prove the significance of human connection.D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The encounter.B. The shame.C. The risk.D. The potential.11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The overview of Chapter Eight.B. The effective way to interact.C. The new trend of caregiving.D. The factors of avoiding shame.DAs cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach”and “listening to waves.”Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A. Pocket parks are now popular.B. Many cities are overpopulated.C. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.D. People enjoy living close to nature.13. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A. To analyze the main features of the park.B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.C. To compare different types of park-goers.D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C. The same nature experience takes different forms.D. The nature language enhances work performance.15. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A. Language study.B. Environmental conservation.C. Public education.D. Intercultural communication.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2019·南宁二中高三月考)My divorce was now final and I needed to find a new home for me and my sixyearold son, Dash. A few days earlier I'd seen an ad. I was willing to try anything, so I contacted the owner, a woman named Camille. When she emailed me back I discovered she wasn't renting a house at all. She was renting the attic (阁楼) apartment. I left her a message calling off our meeting.But Camille called me back and insisted I come over. So here I was. I pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage. The house was small as it was. The attic window looked too tiny to let much light in. We couldn't live in a dark, depressing place. I could make do (凑合) with almost anything. But Dash needs a good home, a place he really feels safe.No sense in wasting her time or mine. I knocked. The woman who opened the door was small and brighteyed. She was much older than I'd guessed, but I could see she had the energy of someone half her age. She looked so sympathetic that I found myself wanting to keep talking to her. “We have to leave our home,〞I explained. “My marriage ended. I only have a few days to find something else, but I want it to be right.〞Camille n odded. “You're a good mother. You never know the miracles that await you around the corner.〞 Camille walked me to the door and wished me well. I got back in the car and snapped_out_of_it. I drove off slowly, hoping to make the feeling last.I turned down a side street I didn't recognize. I glanced out of the side window. Just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front: for rent.I pulled over. I found the owners had just bought the house themselves and were decorating it, hoping to find the perfect renters. They took me on a tour of the housethat was like a copy of my list: a big bedroom for Dash, a backyard with trees, and a great school nearby. The house was meant for us!Camille was right. Miracles await us, just around the corner.本文讲述的是作者离婚后,独自带着儿子寻找出租房屋的经历。

高三英语上册综合测试题第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出选项。
ALos Angeles: Love for Mom is a given, but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother’s Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gasoline prices. “If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the ma rket for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.” US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of$17.65, according to the National Retail Federation estimates.Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, whoowns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates website ,closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased. 51. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means . A. sharp increase in price B. great fear for losing jobs C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount 52. According to the author, Mother’s Day should be an occasion of . A. a large family get-together B. a big annual holiday purchase C. a great love showed to mothers D. a celebration among Americans 53. This passage implies that Americans have . A. met financial problems recently B. no longer bought flowers for mothers C. delivered flowers to every house for mothers D. cut back on spending because of having lost jobs 54. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Hard time coming nearer B. Mother’s Day and crisis C. Sorry mom, love you but no flowers D. Holiday purchases have a hard timeBYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! Enthusiastic people canturn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist (遗传学家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide –eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90,cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach (巴赫). As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years wrinkle(使生皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.” If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended herdepression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.” We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be.” We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow. 55. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times. B. If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing. C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame. D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor. 56. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that .A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasmB. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeedC. enthusiasm can make people feel youngD. enthusiasm can keep people healthy 57. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 58. The author holds the view that . A. enthusiastic people will never get old B. enthusiastm can make you succeed and enjoy life C. enthusiasm is more important than experience D. enthusiasm can give people more success and fameCIn 1991, Kentucky Fried Chicken announced that it was officiallychanging its name to “KFC” as well as updating its packaging and logo (标识) with a more modern look. The public relations reason was that health-conscious consumers associated the word “fried” with “unhealthy”, causing some of them to completely avoid t he wide variety of “healthy” menu items. The new title and image were designed to attract customers to a restaurant now offering foods branded as “better for you”. It sounded good, but the real reason behind the change to KFC had nothing to do with critical consumers. Kentucky Fried Chicken would have had to pay to continue using its original name. In 1990, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, trapped in debt, took the unusual step of trade-making its name. Therefore, anyone using the word “Kentucky” for business reasons —inside or outside of the state — would have to obtain permission and pay licensing fees to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It was an unusual and brilliant scheme to alleviate(减轻) the government debt, but it was also one that alienated(疏远) one of the most famous companies ever associated with Kentucky. The Kentucky Fried Chicken chain, an important part of American culture since its first franchise(专营店) opened in Salt Lake City in 1952, refused to pay for a name they had been using for four decades. After a year of fruitless talks, Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name instead, introducing new packaging and products to cover the real reasons behind the change of the name. Kentucky Fried Chicken wasn’t the only ones who bravely refused togive in. The name of the most famous horse race in North America, held every year at Churchill Downs, was changed to “The Run for the Roses” for similar reasons. In November 2006, KFC and the State of Kentucky finally reached a settlement over the former’s use of the trademarked word “Kentucky” and the restaurant chain announced it would continue to use its former name of “Kentucky Fried Chicken”. 59. The public relations reason for Kentucky Fried Chicken’s updating its packaging and logo was that . A. it would get involved in other businesses B. it was losing money C. it decided to offer better foods to customers D. most customers didn’t like the old logo 60. The Commonwealth of Kentucky trademarked its name to . A. make Kentucky known throughout the world B. be alienated from the famous companies C. develop the American culture D. pay the government debt61. The real reason that “Kentucky Fried Chicken” once changed its name was about . A. health B.money C. package D.product 62. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. the name of Kentucky Fried Chicken had been used only for a short time B. “Kentucky Fried Chicken” changed its name after several years of talks C. KFC is still not allowed to use the name of “Kentucky Fried Chicken” D. the original name of the game “The Run for the Roses” contains the word “Kentucky”DThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more thantwice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to ten points off the user’s IQ.This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remian fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the tasks in hand. The brain also finds it hard todeal with keeping lots of tasks in motion at once, reducing its overall effectiveness. While modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive(过度的) use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to his or her social life.Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ damage and 1,100 adults were interviewed.More than six in ten people polled admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so that they examined work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that theyalways responded immediately to an e-mail and one in five would interrupt a meeting。

AClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries possess most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs in China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care services to Shanxi Province.ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.For just US$38,you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again.Your money can open their eyes to the world.Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.21.ORRIS aims to help the blind by ______.A.teaching medical studentsB.training doctors and nursesC.running flying hospitals globallyD. setting upnon-profit organization22.What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?A.Appeal for donationsB.Make an advertisementC. Promote training programsD.Show sympathy for the blind23.What can be the best title for the passage?A.ORRIS in ChinaB.Fighting BlindnessC.ORRIS Flying HospitalD.Sight-seeing TechniquesBPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches c onsist of welldeveloped and hearty capac ities(能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of _life_is_a_hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go towards making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.24.The author intends to tell us that________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches25.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that________.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage26.It can be learned from the passage that ________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness27.What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of life B.Secret of wealthC.Rest and refreshment D.Interest and enthusiasm C(Q=Question;A=Answer)Situation ⅠQ:If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theatre,is it rude to move?A:Maybe,but nobody will fault you for it.Chances are that the close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you,so he may miss your annoyance.You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enoughroom.Forgive his bad judgement,move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation ⅡQ:If I use the bathroom at a store,do I need to buy something?A:Consider frequency and urgency.Is this a onetime thing or an emergency?If so,you don't have to buy anything,but it would be kind if you did.However,if you regularly use the bathroom at this place,then you are a customer,and you should act like one.Situation ⅢQ:If someone is talking loudly on the bus,is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A:No.Try other means:1)Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2)Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile.3)Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation ⅣQ:If I remember my friend's birthday a day late,should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A:This is the reason why the word belated was invented.“Happy belated birthday!” is short for“Well,I know I forgot,but then I remembered.Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation ⅤQ:Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A:Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve?“Yes,”you can say if ever asked,“I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to whyyou don't respond.28.You will get annoyed in a theatre when ________.A.a person is too activeB.a person is too rude to youC.a person talks too loudlyD.a person sits too close to you29.How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A.By making fun of him continuously.B.By looking purposefully at him.C.By talking to him directly.D.By pointing angrily at him.30.The underlined word “belated” in Situation Ⅳ probably means ________.A.predicted B.returnedC.cancelled D.delayed31.What is the passage mainly about?A.Modern ways to mind your manners.B.Different ways to change others' manners.C.Proper manners to offer help to others.D.Good manners to talk to people.DMillions of families around the world have been given a helping hand out of poverty by micro-credits. These very small loans, usually less than US$200, have enabled the very poorest people to set up or expand businesses and become self-sufficient.The micro-credit movement started with Professor Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Professor Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, used his own money to set up a bank to benefit the poorest people in Bangladesh—families living on less than US$1 a day. There are now hundreds of organizations around the world following his blueprint to help people escape from poverty.So how does the system work? Local microfinance institutions (MFIs) make contact with families and offer loans, usually to women, to enable them to start or expand a business. These are very poor people who would not normally be able to get credit, but as no collateral (抵押品) is required they can get micro-credits. They pay back the loan on a weekly basis, over six months to a year.A crucial aspect to the success of the micro-credit system is that receivers get local support. The MFIs educate local communities about ways to improve their lives, and offer practical support as well as collecting weekly loans payments. They encourage people to help each other, so that the whole community can pull itself out of poverty. MFIs may also help with literacy and health problems.Micro-credits are mainly given to women. Experience has shown that womenare more motivated to improve their children’s lives and will spend the money they make on better nutrition and schooling for their children. This may be the first cha nce they’ve had to contribute financially to the family, and their status in the home and the local community is raised.The micro-credit system is not charity. The payments are fixed-term loans and interest is charged. The costs of making such small loans, collecting them and giving personal support are high. This is reflected in the interest rates, which range from 15 to 35 percent. Despite this, the repayment rate is very high, between 95 and 98 percent, showing that micro-credit clients really value this opportunity to leave poverty behind.32. Micro-credits are offered to the poorest people around the world in order to ________.A. make profits out of the poorB. support poor people out of povertyC. establish more micro-credit institutionsD. promote the development of world economy33. Why are bank loans mainly made to women?A. Because they make more financial contribution to the family.B. Because they hold higher status in the home and community.C. Because they are more reliable and likely to repay the loan.D. Because they are more likely to spend the profits on their children.34. The high repayment rate of the loan suggests that ________.A. people do hope to take advantage of the loan to get out of povertyB. it is easy to make money with the aid of micro-creditsC. micro-credits are very popular with poor familiesD. most micro-credit clients keep their promises well35. The passage is most probably taken from the ________ section of a magazine.A. HealthB. BusinessC. FinanceD. Education 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned(承担)the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”9.The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD.an exhibition10.Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people’s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors’ attention in the exhib ition12.What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.DLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No. IOffer to be your mother's health friend.
