（2020·四川省南充高级中学高三月考）Has the volume in a restaurant ever made you finish your meal early? If so, you're not alone. Restaurants handle diners in various ways to influence food choices and consumption, from lighting to menu to server presentation. Unfortunately for those headache-prone restaurant goers, some places also choose to turn up the tunes and the background noise.
Chef Mario Batali is often blamed for the phenomenon of very loud or noisy restaurants in the 1990s, when he decided to flood the dining room with the same loud tunes he was playing in his kitchen. And other chefs followed suit. Some restaurateurs felt a "livelier" atmosphere encouraged more customers to dine there, and a side "benefit" was quicker table turnover, thus increasing the number of people who could dine in a specific evening.
A 1985 study out of Fairfield University looked at how chewing speed varied according to the type of music being played. Although the volume level was kept the same for both musical situations, it's important to note that fast-tempo (节奏) music often gives the impression of being louder than slower music.
"A significant increase in the number of bites per minute was found, and the effect was largest for fast music," the researchers wrote in the study. So, the faster, louder music gets people to down their food more quickly, relieving the table for future customers.
There are opinions about whether or not this is a sound practice. "A restaurant that places profit above dining experience often plays loud music with a fast tempo that puts diners under pressure to eat more quickly, even if that means they're less able to enjoy their meal," writes Dr. Neel Burton in Psychology Today, adding that loud, fast music reduces appetite.
What's more, some would-be repeat diners will shy away for fear of another very loud meal. The non-profit group Action on Hearing Loss found in a 2016 survey of nearly 1,500 people that 91% of those who view a restaurant as too noisy would choose not to return. 4．Why did some bosses of the restaurants favour loud music?
A．It might help attract more customers.
B．It was the favorite kind of music of them.
C．It made the restaurants softer and sweeter.
D．It could increase the popularity of their chefs.
5．What plays the most important role in the effect of music on diners according to the passage? A．Its content.B．Its length.
C．Its speed.D．Its quality.
6．What is Dr. Neel Burton's attitude towards flooding restaurants with noisy music? A．Doubtful.B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.D．Objective.
7．What could be a suitable tile for the text?
A．What People Think of Loud Restaurants?
B．Are Customers to Blame?
C．How Restaurants Improve Themselves?
D．Does Loud Music Really Benefit Restaurants?

（2021·黑龙江大庆市·大庆实验中学高三期末）My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzhemier’s-a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him.
I knew chances were slim that he’d actually recognize me.
He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It’s a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn’t remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories-hold on for both of us.
8．When the author first saw her grandpa in hospital, ________________.
A．she gave up on him B．they were both excited
C．he didn’t recognize her D．they talked about the past
9．The author was close to tears because ________________.
A．grandma died about four years ago
B．grandpa needed to be taken care of
C．grandma didn’t make it to the hospital
D．grandpa believed grandma was still alive
10．Which of the following best describe the author?
A．Tolerant and merciful.B．Considerate and patient.
C．Warm-hearted and grateful.D．Strong-minded and generous.
11．The author wrote this passage to _________________.

（2020·黑龙江大庆市·铁人中学高三期中）Communities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned, but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance （监视）.Generally, modern mass surveillance has three broad components: identification, correlation and discrimination.
Facial recognition is a technology that can be used to identify people without their consent. Once we are identified, the data about who we are and what we are doing can be correlated with other data. This might be movement data, which can be used to "follow” us as we move throughout our day. It can be purchasing data, Internet browsing data, or data about who we talk to via email or text. It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle, profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent.
It's not just that they know who we are; it's that they correlate what they know about us to create profiles about who we are and what our interests are. The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards. In the future, we might be treated differently when we walk into a store, just as we currently are when we visit websites.
It doesn't matter which technology is used to identify people. What's important is that we can be consistently identified over time. We might be completely anonymous （匿名的）in a system that uses unique cookies to track us as we browse the Internet, but the same process of correlation and discrimination still occurs.
Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.
Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined with other data, and then bought and sold without our knowledge or consent. The data broker industry is almost entirely unregulated now. Reasonable laws would prevent the worst of their abuses.
Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimination based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal, but those rules are ineffectual against the current technologies of surveillance and control. When people can be identified and their data correlated at a speed and scale previously unseen, we need new rules.
Today, facial recognition technologies are receiving the force of the tech backlash （抵制），but focusing on them misses the point. We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of influence we want them to have over our lives. 12．According to Para. 2, with facial recognition _______.
A．one’s lifestyle changes greatly
B．one's email content is disclosed
C．one's profiles are updated in time
D．one's personal information is released
13．We can learn from the passage that _______.
A．discrimination based on new tech surveillance is illegal
B．different browsing data bring in different advertisements
C．using mobiles anonymously keeps us from being correlated
D．data brokers control the current technologies of surveillance
14．The underlined part “the point，,in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.
A．people's concern over their safety
B．the nature of the surveillance society
C．proper regulation of mass surveillance
D．the importance of identification technology
15．The author wrote this passage to _______.
A．call for banning facial recognition technologies
B．advocate the urgent need for changes in related laws
C．inform readers of the disadvantages of facial recognition
D．evaluate three broad components in modem mass surveillance

故选D。

10．
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.（于是我坐在他身边，握着他的手，每隔一段时间就告诉他，他看上去有多帅，我是多么喜欢他衬衫的颜色，衬衫恰好衬托出他蓝色的眼睛。

每当他问起我奶奶的时候，我都告诉他，她在路上。

我还确保他手里的杯子总是装满水。

）作者赞美爷爷，让爷爷拥有一个好心情以及总是让爷爷的水杯里装满水，可以看出作者很体贴；每当爷爷询问奶奶在哪里时，作者不厌其烦的告诉爷爷，奶奶在路上，可以看出作者很耐心。

故选B。

11．
推理判断题。

最后一段是作者感情升华的段落。

根据最后一段I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories-hold on for both of us.（我无法消除他的痛苦。

我帮不上忙。

我无法使疾病消失。

我所能做的就是保留这些记忆——为了我们俩而保留。

）结合前文内容，可知作者的爷爷得了老年痴呆症，已经无法认出作者，甚至不知道自己还有孙子孙女。

但是，作者仍然体贴的照顾爷爷，耐心的陪伴爷爷。

虽然爷爷失去了记忆，但是那些美好的记忆深深地保留在作者的内心深处。

所以作者写这篇文章，是为了表达自己对爷爷深深地爱。

故选C。

12．D13．B14．C15．B
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章讲述了面部识别技术造成的数据泄露。

谈及了数据泄露造成的危害。

最后提出了应该立法规范而不是完全限制面部识别技术。

12．细节理解题。

根据第2段It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle, profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent可知，它可能是关于我们的收入、种族、生活方式、职业和兴趣的数据。

面部识别出来的数据会在未经我们同意的情况下被关联或卖掉。

所以根据第2段，通过面部识别，一个人的个人信息会被泄露。

故选D项。

13．细节理解题。

根据第3段The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards可知，公司可以根据我们在互联网上留下的数据对我们区别对待，我们可以在互联网上看到不同的广告，收到不同的信用卡优惠。

故选B 项。

14．词义猜测题。

根据最后一段“We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of influence we want them to have over our lives”即我们需要严肃的讨论，决定我们希望被监视的程度以及他带给我们什么样子的影响。

所以我们现在正在对面部识别技术进行科技限制。

但在这一个过程中我们忽略了对大规模监控的适当监管。

所以划线词的意思是“对大规模监控的适当监管”。

故选C项。

15．推理判断题。

根据文章第一段Communities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned, but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modem surveillance 可知，禁止面部识别技术愿望是很好的,但禁止面部识别是错误的方式来对抗现代监控。

另外通过第5和第6段中的“Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process”和“Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined with other data”可知，我们需要规则来规范。

通过倒数第2段“Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate”可知，我们需要更好的规则来指导。

故作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导迫切需要修改相关法律。

故选B项。

16．F17．G18．B19．C20．E
【分析】
本文是一篇应用文，介绍了对于刚开始跑步的人，要避免哪些事项来提高成功的机会。

16．根据上文Given that it's so easy to take up the sport, a lot of beginners jump right into running without actually knowing what it takes to establish a healthy routine.可知鉴于这项运动非常容易，许多初学者在没有真正知道如何建立健康的日常生活的情况下直接跑步。

承接上文，F项（许多人会犯很多常见的错误，这些错误会干扰训练或导致伤害）切题，故选F项。

17．根据上文Runners need to ease into the sport before increasing the distance.可知跑步者需要在增加跑步距离之前进行放松运动。

承接下文，G项（它有助于降低受伤风险，因此你可以继续新的跑步日常）切题。

G项it指的是前面整个句子，对前面的句子做出了进一步的解释。

故选G项。

18．根据本段Beginners might think they need to run nearly every day to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn't be further from the truth 。

和Follow a training plan that includes rest days.可知初学者可能会认为他们几乎每天都要跑步以达到他们的健身或减肥目标，但这不可能是事实。

要在训练计划中安排休息。

所以这段要讲的误区就是坚持跑步而不休息，B项（没有休息日）符合，故选B项。

19．根据后文especially for beginners whose muscles and bones haven't yet been conditioned for such intense exercise.可知特别是对那些肌肉和骨骼不适合如此剧烈的运动的初跑者，此处是想表达跑步是一项有难度的运动，连接下文，C项（跑步是一项要求很高的运动，对你的身体来说可以真的很难）切题，故选C项。
