宜昌市葛洲坝中学2018-2019学年第二学期高一年级五月阶段性检测英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。
ALast summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bermese Alps.On arriving at Erlenbach where my host family live, I knew I couldn’t have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldn’t have asked for a better host family, either. They made me feel like part of their family, rather than a tourist, which was the most wonderful part of my stay there. I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities, whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends’ houses. I wasn't only travelling around Europe seeing the major sights, but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's, there are lots of differences, too. For example, most Swiss leave their windows open—without screens—all the time. At first I thought all the bugs (虫子) were going to get in and eat me alive, and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. But then I realised there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language. I expected the Swiss to speak German, but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German, which has hardly anything in common with German. At times I was very frustrated (受挫的) because my three years of German did not help, but my bad mood did not last. Anyhow, many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took, but it was also the most rewarding. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach. There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.21. What did the writer like best about his stay in Switzerland?A. Playing a part in the host family's housework.B. Making lots of friends in the village.C. Feeling a great sense of belonging there.D. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Alps.22. How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept thewindows open?A. Relaxed.B. Worried.C. Disappointed.D. Excited.23. Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit?A. Because he found his German not good enough for communication.B. Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.C. Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.D. Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.BBritish Women Writers in Different Periods of Time The English RenaissanceThe English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a number of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery. A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behn's works also include the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.The Neoclassical periodAmong the well-known women in British literature during the neoclassical period,from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Two other women are recognised for their contributions to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.The Romantic periodJane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period ( 1798- 1832 ). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another famous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Shelley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of Six Weeks Tour and The Last Man.The Victorian periodThe Victorian period, between the 1830s and1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlotte's novels include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mary Anne Evans used the male pen name George Eliot as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine works of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.24. According to the passage, what are Aphra Behn's plays mainly about?A. Cooking and gardening.B. Racism and slavery.C. Economic security.D. Education of women.25.Which period does Jane Austen belong to?A. The Victorian period.B. The English Renaissance.C. The Neoclassical period.D. The Romantic period.26. Why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories underthe name of George Eliot?A. Women were forbidden to write novels then.B. Her works would be different.C. It helped promote her works.D. It sounded more popular.27. If a reader is interested in women's education,whose works can be the best choice?A. Anne Finch's.B.Mary Astell's.C. Mary Wortley Montagu's.D. Mary Shelley's.CWith the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in Our lives. Have you ever run into careless cellphone users on the street? Maybe they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of humans has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers ( 低头族).Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his cellphone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending of the film seems unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bringis real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks af ter long term stretching. Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellplones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight. Consequently, we should know some approaches to getting rid of these damages.28. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2 ?A. To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.B. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.C. To call for people to go walking without phones.D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this.29. According to the passage，what risks may a phubber have?①Destroying the world.②Affecting his social skills.③Damaging his neck and eyesight.④Getting separated from his friends and family.A. ②③④B. ①②④C. ①②③④D. ①③④30. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing?A. Confident.B. Supportive.C. Optimistic.D. Disapproving.31. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. Bad effects of phubbing.B Ways to avoid the risks of phubbingC. Methods of phubbing.D. Daily life of phubbers.DFrom the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we are all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes of the climate in the areas that produce cacao—the plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon become extinct.Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn’t lie in increasing heat, but in lower humidity(湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it is unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分)loss,”wrote Michon Scott, the essay’s author.To help fight with this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world’s biggest companies of chocolate products, announced thatit would spend 1 billion dollars to help reduce the effects of climate change.“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will becomea thing of the past.32. What will make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future?A. The decrease of rainfall.B. The increasing heat.C. The higher humidity.D. The moisture loss in the soil.33. What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Bring up.B. Make up.C. Use up.D. Dry up.34. What will Mars do to help cacao survive?A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.B. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.C. It will use the gene editing technology to plant cacao.D. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.35. What is this article mainly about?A. The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.B. Problems cacao plants could face and the possible solutions.C. The significance of working together to fight climate change.D. Some new research and findings about growing cacao.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。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of my favorite hobbies is exchanging old-fashioned, paper-with-a-stamp-on-it postcards with random strangers around the world.The Postcrossing Project was created by Paulo Magalhaes in 2005. He liked getting mails—especially postcards. He thought others did, too—but how could he connect with them? That's when he came up with the idea of an online platform (): There, postcard lovers like me can sign up to send a postcard to someone who has registered online, and receive a postcard in return.Along with a randomly selected address, participants get a unique code to put on the postcard. When the postcard arrives, the recipient registers that code with the site, which then causes the sender's address to be given to another postcrosser in turn. In practice, this means that for nearly every postcard I send (a few get lost in the mail) I get one back. And since I never know who will send me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a wonderful surprise.Privacy-conscious Americans might worry about sharing their address with strangers overseas. But postcrossers are friendly, polite, respectful folks—in more than 450 cards exchanged, I've yet to have a bad experience.On days when the international news is depressing, postcrossing is my comfort. There's nothing like getting a card from a child in China just learning to write in English, or a grandmother in Belarus describing her most recent gardening success to remind me that we truly are members of one global family, far more similar than we are different.It seems like such a small thing to send out a postcard. But as travel and communication technology continue to shrink the world, it's important to remember that it isn't just for diplomats and politicians to represent our country anymore. All of us have the power—and perhaps the responsibility—to be ambassadors, to show the best of your country to the world.And it's good to know that what you need to accomplish this is not necessarily complicated or expensive. It can be as simple as a postcard.（1）Why did Paulo set up ?A. To discuss personal hobbies with strangers.B. To exchange postcards with others in the worldC. To collect different postcards from other countries.D. To provide a platform for communication online.（2）According to the passage, postcrossers __________.A. don't know who will send them postcardsB. are sure to get a postcard back immediatelyC. often choose a receiver's address carefullyD. register every postcard they receive online （3）What did the writer learn from postcrossing?A. The international news is usually depressing.B. Americans are more conscious about privacy.C. Postcrossers sometimes describe their bad experience.D. The whole world is actually a big family.（4）What does the underlined word "this" refer to?A. Choosing a diplomat to represent a country.B. Having the responsibility to be an ambassador.C. Showing the best of your country.D. Shrinking the world with communication technology.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了网站，一个可以让世界各地的陌生人交换老式的、带有邮票的明信片的网站，由Paulo Magalhaes 在2005年创立。

People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.24.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was often misunderstood.B. She was unable to speak good English.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.25. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. unwilling to phone for her motherD. ready to help her mother26. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New York immediatelyC. they failed to get the checkD. they spoke to their boss at once27. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her tolerate rude people.D. It helps her understand the world.CMany Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most widely used location services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off LocationHistory.Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is c alled “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account.28. Why does the author mention Weather apps?A. To show many apps can track a user’s location.B. To stress Google services are widely used.C. To prove Google collects users’ data illegally.D. To advise people to stop using them.29. What is the voice from the privacy activists?A. Users should use the Internet less.B. Google should stop tracking users.C. Google should turn off location services.D. Google should respect users’ privacy.30. What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?A. The Location History setting is difficult to find.B. What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.C. Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.D. The AP asks Google to remove Location History.31. Which can best summarize the passage?A. Google still tracks you with Location History off.B. Google services urgently need to get improved.C. Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.D. Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.DWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.Why would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling: “I don’t care who started it —both of you, go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows parents, seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children who were troubling each other just now suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents. In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases, the mediator had a “nice” approach — calm and polite. In others, he was hostile —aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.32. What can we learn about parents’ settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?A. It’s calming and wise.B. It harms family relationship.C. It’s commonly adopted.D. It’s unfriendly but effective.33. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By presenting facts.B. By making comparison.C. By giving examples and experimenting.D. By analyzing causes and effects.34. Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?A. ConcernedB. DoubtfulC. PositiveD. Objective35. What could be the title of the text?A. The Surprising Power of HostilityB. The Costs of Negative BehaviorC. The Benefits of Positive BehaviorD. The Importance of Effective Mediation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。

The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.4. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.5. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.6. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.7. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.CJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have thedisease.8. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.10. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.11. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.DWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to thenew couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.12. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.13. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.14. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift Giving第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rathe r concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I d on’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.24.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was often misunderstood.B.

When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permissionto use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Locatio n History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account.28. Why does the author mention Weather apps?A.

What is the voice from the privacy activists?A. Users should use the Internet less.B. Google should stop tracking users.C. Google should turn off location services.D. Google should respect users’ privacy.30. What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?A. The Location History setting is difficult to find.B. What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.C. Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.D. The AP asks Google to remove Location History.31. Which can best summarize the passage?A. Google still tracks you with Location History off.B. Google services urgently need to get improved.C. Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.D. Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.DWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.Why would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling: “I don’t care who started it —both of you, go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows parents, seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children who were troubling each other just now suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents. In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases, the mediator had a “nice” approach —calm and polite. In others, he was hostile —aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.32. What can we learn about parents’ settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?A. It’s calming and wise.B. It harms family relationship.C. It’s commonly adopted.D. It’s unfriendly but effective.33. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By presenting facts.B. By making comparison.C. By giving examples and experimenting.D. By analyzing causes and effects.34. Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?A. ConcernedB. DoubtfulC. PositiveD. Objective35. What could be the title of the text?A. The Surprising Power of HostilityB.
