AI never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway , our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly,she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce m e. “Eudora is nine y ears old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding H ood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer — in character — “The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?A. Quiet.B. Strict.C. Humorous.D. Considerate.22. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph?A. Desire to read.B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.C. Interest in games.D. Fear of the library rules.23. Where is the text probably from?A. A guidebook.B. An autobiography.答案与解析21. B 推理判断题根据第一段中的If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back hometo change your clothes.可知Mrs. Calloway对衣着严格要求以及第三段中她对图书借阅严格规定可知，Mrs.Calloway是一位严格的图书管理员。

English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Yourteachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up.Whoever it was, somehow you have developed anunderstanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly globallanguage.There are now about 376 million people who speakEnglish as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages?I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever wanttheir garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

ABack in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children．In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art．After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss a coin．The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy．Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy．Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation（轰动）．By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works．When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant（胜利的）homecoming．Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream．“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn．Now you can go to Nurembergto look for your dream, and I will take care of you．”Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No．．．no．．．It is too late for me．Look．．．look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush．”To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward．He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it “The Praying Hands”．The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone!1. Why did the two brothers work out the agreement?A. They were so curious as to make a joke．B. Their family couldn’t afford the academy．C. One of the brothers was supposed to go into mines．D. They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers．2. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Albrecht Durer？A. He began to earn his living after graduation．B. He did perfectly wellat the academy．C. He wanted his brother to go to the academy．D. He created greatmasterpieces．3. What can we learn from the story?A. One can achieve success simply on his own．B. Any success requires the help of others．C. It’s other people who contribute to one’s success.D. Nobody could succeed without good guidance．参考答案----------- BAB**********************************************************结束In the early days of the United States，children were not required by law to attend school.School calendars depended on local needs.Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year—half in the summer，half in the winter.They worked on family farms during the other months.City schools were often open much longer，some for eleven months of the year.Parents were happy to have a place for their children to go while they worked.National leaders took a fresh look at schools after the Civil War in the 1860s.They saw a free public education as a way to help support a strong democracy(民主政治) and prepare workers for new industries.Immigration was increasing and so was the student population.More and more people saw the need for a system of required education.But they had different ideas for the calendar.Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break.The schools were often crowded.There was no modern air conditioning，and air pollution from factories was a problem.Hot days would make it difficult to learn.A long summer break would also give teachers time for other jobs to add to their low pay.Many rural educators，however，pushed for a longer school year.They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers at a time whenther e were few childlabor laws.They also thought it would lead to a better prepared workforce.So the traditional school calendar was a compromise，with roots that now go back about a century and a half.The average school year used to be 170 days.Times have not changed much.Today the common average is 180 days.But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed.This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.1．Why were city schools often open much longer than the schools in rural areas in the early days?A．Because children in rural areas were not required by law to attend school.B．Because children in city schools often had more subjects to study.C．Because parents in cities preferred their children to stay at schools while they worked.D．Because hot days would make it difficult to learn in rural schools.2．The underlined phrase “pushed for” in the seventh paragraph probably means .A．struggled for B．went againstC．agreed on D．called off3．From the last paragraph we can infer that .A．experts have reached an agreement on the traditional school calendar B．some rural schools have already kept students in class longerC．national leaders of the United States will change the traditional school calendarD．with the needs of the nation changing，the school year will get longer 4．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The system of required education was carried out after the 1860s.B．Short school year would give teachers time for other jobs to earn more money.C．Long school year would also protect children from industrial dangers at the time.D．Today the common average school year has changed much than before.1．As we got there，the family was in front of us，with one person in between.

2020年浙江省湖州、衢州、丽水三地市联考高考英语模拟试卷含答案
高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AA famous Anglican Church stands in a quiet corner of Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island．Built in 1865，it is the city's oldest church still in use．Countless couples have gathered here to marry．It's where morning tears are shared，friendships formed and comfort given during times of loss．As with many churches，its walls are graced with a collection of beautiful stained-glass windows．Known as the"John Allen window"，one window portrays the short life of a local man，John Allen，who died in 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey．John was the son of Sir James Allen，who as Minister of Defense，helped plan and administer New Zealand's World War I strategy，which saw 100，000 troops sent to fight．With the war over and his son dead，Sir James chose to install a window in the church，with which the Allen family had strong ties．Divided into two parts，one depicts （描绘）St．George，the patron saint （守护神）of soldiers，while the other has an angel of peace，along with the words at the bottom，"John Hugh All Gallipoli，6th June，1915"．Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom- reminders that John was a lover of birds．"There are many war memorials in the church，" says the church．"However the 'John Allen window' stands out；it touches people because of the beautiful design，the New Zealand birds and because John's story，of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war，reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War I．"1.What does the word"portrays"in paragraph 2 most probably mean？______A. Starts．B. Changes．C. Treasures．D. Represents．2.Sir James Allen built the"John Allen window"to ______ ．A. celebrate the end of World War IB. honor the troops in the Gallipoli campaignC. remember his son's sacrifice to the countryD. show the family's close ties with the church3.What might be the main theme of the pictures on the window？______A. Freedom and equality．B. Peace and war．C. Human and nature．D. Marriage and family．4.What might be the best title for the text ______ ．A. A Brave SoldierB. Window on a LifeC. Cruelty of the WarD. A Grand ChurchBWe spend a great amount of time listening to music．Most college students listen to music at least three or four times a week，and more than 50 percent of them go to at least one concert per year．According to new research，we may be born liking music，because human beings are born to find certain combinations of sounds attrative．For example，young chidren can recognizea familiar Song even when its key is changed．Similarly，they respond with more emotions to their mothers' singing than to their mothers' speech．Careful analysis of mothers'chid-dircted songs indicates that each mother's songs remain stable from one"performance"to the next，and this may encourage children's engagement with the songs．Research with adults suggests that music catches our attention by activating（激活）brain pathways that are most suited to processing music than to processing other kinds of sound．Specifically，music appreciation relies on the auditory cortex（听觉皮层）on the right side of the brain，which is specialized to process sound that characterizes music-in contrast to the left auditory cortex，which processes the stop-and-start bursts of sound that characterize speech．Although some Psychologists remain skeptical about whether music may have powerful effects on our thinking，a number of studies have shown that listening to music can increase people's spatial reasoning abilities Furthermore，It is clear that music can greatly influence our emotions．Personally significant music activates areas of the brain associated with pleasure and reward，the same areas that are activated by sex and good food．Researchers do not agree about how humans' abilties to process and enjoy music have come into being．Anyway，the next time you enjoy listening to a piece of music，remember that the most complex pieces of audio equipment are the ones between your headphones．5.Which of the following might belong to the"certain combinations of sounds"in paragraph2？______A. A song．B. A debateC. A quarrel．D. A dialogue．6.It can be learned from paragraph 4 that ______ ．A. no doubt music can increase people's thinking abilityB. music simply gives people positive emotionsC. only music can give people pure pleasure and rewardD. music has a great influence on human beings7.According to the passage，the most complex pieces of audio equipment lie ______ ．A. at a collegeB. in a concertC. in the brainD. in the headphoneCA great number of species make their home in the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean．Although the entire ocean makes up an ecosystem，many smaller habitats are found within，including an open-water habitat off the coast of the Northern Atlantic Ocean known as the Sargasso Sea．Sargassum is an alga（海藻）that floats in masses that can continue for miles ．The waters of the Gulf Stream push the water in a northward move into this area．This constant move and varying temperature support the accumulation of the brown-colored seaweed．The Sargasso Sea is so enormous that one method of information collection has not been enough for scientists to obtain an accurate picture of what takes place within this ecosystem．Researchers have needed to employ several methods of sampling．Methods such as dragging nets over the surface of the water and videotaping beneath areas of sargassum have served scientists well．Information collected has shown that the Gulf Stream pushes brown algae from open water into the Sargasso Sea area，creating a diverse floating habitat in an area that would otherwise not support that wildlife．In the most recent study of the sargassum community off the shores of North Carolina，eighty-one fish species were documented as using the area as a microhabitat．This is an increase from previous studies．The types of fish found here are both commercially andenvironmentally important．The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is working to regulate the harvesting of sargassum．The Council hopes to have the area classified as an Essential Fish Habitat．Which would afford it certain protections．Further research needs to be done before scientists understand how to best protect the Sargasso Sea as well as understand how it goes about supporting so many important types of wildlife．8.The author uses "enormous" in paragraph 2 to stress that ______ ．A. the Atlantic Ocean is really amazing in terms of its size and areaB. what the researchers do is highly respected by scientific communityC. the research work is complex because a large area must be coveredD. a large amount of money for the Sargasso Sea research is needed9.It can be inferred from the phrase"needed to be done"in paragraph 4 that the author thinks______ ．A. the Sargasso ecosystem is worth our attention and needs more studyB. the scientific community has ignored this complex

office？There are many ways to help you relax．(1) ．It takes a little effort to get there but the benefits are great for our stressed-out lives．I am talking about the activity of forest bathing．(2) ．It was introduced as a national health programme by the country's government．Stressed Japanese workers are today still relaxing and reconnecting with nature．The Forest Therapy Society has certified 62 forest therapy sites in the country and the forest bathing movement is also booming in other parts of the world．It says，"Just as bathing in a hot spring helps to soak your cares away，going for a walk in the woods is said to have a comforting effect．" Forest bathing is about taking time to wander through woodland with no fixed plan or route and just expose yourself to the forest atmosphere．(3) ．That's particularly good for people with mental health issues．A study conducted in 24 forests across Japan found that walking among trees lowered blood pressure，the pulse rate，thus improving our immune systems．(4) ．Another study carried out a few years ago by Stanford University in the US，found similar benefits．Brain scans showed reduced activity in an area of the brain linked to the risk of mental illness in participants who took a 90-minute walk among oaks，birds and squirrels．One of the researchers，Gregory Bratman，said，"There's an increasing body of evidence showing that natural areas benefit us at least emotionally with our mood and our physical development too．"The evidence seems clear that forest bathing is a shot in the arm for stressed-out workers．So now is the time to get out and lose yourself in the natural environment，(5) ．A．But the best way lies in the great outdoors．B．Connecting with nature has never been more urgent．C．Forest bathing is rising in popularity around the world．D．Having this exposure to nature seems to promote well-being．E．You could even hug a tree as it could be your new best friend!F．The Japanese concept of forest bathing dates back to the 1980s．G．It also found forest bathing can decrease stress．anxiety，and depression．11.

What do these terms mean and how can these terms help you choose a preschool?Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschool’sWhile educational philosophies are numerous and their “educational philosophy”.definitions are not set in stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of the most popular philosophies.The Montessori MethodFocuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another.The Reggio Emilia ApproachThis approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration.The Waldorf ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and analytical thought.The Bank Street ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world.The High/ Scope ApproachThis approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning.Children are taught to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success o f their plan and brainstormideas for the next day.Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference betweenother common early childhood terms will help you make informed decisions regarding your child’s education.1. If a pre-school stresses each child’s learning progress, it may employ ___________.A. The Reggio Emilia ApproachB. The Montessori MethodC. The Bank Street ApproachD. The Waldorf Approach2. According to the passage, which of the following is True ?A. The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves.B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same.C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools.D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.BDeep among the streams and kauri trees of rural south Auckland, New Zealand'snewest and most alternative school is in session. The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there，” saysJoey Moncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested indoing it, they do it.”Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years inmainstream schools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, whichhas a roll of eight, and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the globalproblems of the future — such as climate change — Moncarz imagined a totallydifferent kind of education, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering andsurvival. If the weather allows, pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors,exploring the New Zealand bush, learning to fish and hunt, trapping possums andlearning about the plants and animals of their home. The more traditional school skills,such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at their own pace, after theybegin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids，” says Moncarz.“Our parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education andthey started questioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed a ndunhappy? Having taught in a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed andunhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independentschool, and therefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum,although it is subject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired byA. S. Neill's Summerhill School in the UK, since launching in January Moncarz hasbeen fielding requests from around New Zealand and abroad to open chapters of BushSchool in places as far a field as China and Europe.Moncarz insists that the school isn't an “experiment” in education, and is basedon two million years of evidence of how parents have raised their kids, at one with，” nature. “We don't want to be one of a kind. We want to replace mainstream schools said Moncarz.3．What can the students do in Deep Green Bush School?A．Learn more practical living skills.B．Attend more diverse athletic contests.C．Study traditional courses more effectively.D．Join in environmental protection more actively.4．Why did Moncarz set up Deep Green Bush School?A．To help problem kids.B．To reduce parents' burden.C．To reform the traditional school system.D．To conduct an educational experiment.5．What does the underlined part “abide by” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Obey. B．Assess.C．Monitor. D．Replace.6．What is the education system of Deep Green Bush School like?A．Unpractical and rigid.B．Unsatisfactory but strict.C．Unremarkable but fruitful.D．Unconventional and popular.。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Contrary to popular belief，looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration，researchers claimed. While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces，body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.In a study，groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body，but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body，but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy，pleasure，victory，pain and defeat.Using photo－editing software，the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion，and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions，demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.Dr Aviezer，who led the study，said，“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense，the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear. The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations. For example，individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions，but if they are trained to process important body language，their performance may significantly improve.”【解题导语】最新的研究表明：通过观察别人的眼睛，人们并不能完全读懂他们的心情，但如果通过肢体语言，人体却能更好地了解。

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.4. What does the underlined word “sensation” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Event.B. Hit.C. Service.D. Addiction.5. What can we learn about Sophie according to paragraph 3?A. She got lots of friends due to squirrels.B. She used to be a popular girl in her childhood.C. She lived in the far countryside when young.D. She was more outgoing than before.6. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?A. By attracting them with food.B. By putting them in cages.C. By playing music to them.D. By dressing like squirrels.7. What do you think of Sophie?A. Tolerant and capable.B. Sociable and aggressive.C. Patient and caring.D. Indifferent and appreciative.CIt's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series."I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns and these people who study hes journeys."The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland."I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."8. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels?A. It forecasts environmental destruction.B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration.C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.9. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?A. Inspirational.B. One-sided.C. Authoritative.D. Casual.10. Why did McConaghy go travelling?A. To appreciate the landscape of Ireland.B. To follow the migration of the birds.C. To get away from her tiresome life.D. To find ideas for her new book.11. How might a character "of two places"feel?A. Content and carefree.B. More connected with nature.C. Lacking in a sense of belonging.D. Knowledgeable about the world.DYou run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enoughemployees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster thanyours.Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Queuing in a line.B. A shopping experience.C. A rush in the morning.D. Cutting in a line.13. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.C. The increasing items bought by customers.D. A worsening shopping system of the store.14. What is the solution given by mathematicians?A. Employing more workers for checking out.B. Limiting the number of queuing people.C. Making only one line available.D. Always standing in the same line.15. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?A. To pursue the maximum benefit.B. To leave success or failure to luck.C. To avoid the minimum loss.D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.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。

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate“Yes! ”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks.A woman from the church of our community stepped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter!Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others.

English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even theBBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you havedeveloped an understanding of what is rapidlybecoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people whospeak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am alwayssurprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wo nderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。
越来越多的人会讲英语是好事吗?战乱会因此而减少吗? 将来人们会只讲一种语言, 吃同样的食物, 听同样的音乐吗? 作者借用一位爱尔兰听众的邮件说:英语好比玫瑰花, 它很漂亮, 但是我们不能因为它漂亮就把花园全种上玫瑰花, 也不能把其他花草都拔掉。

(原创)People around the world are rememberingNelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president.He died Thursday at the age of 95.South African President Jacob Zuma said, “Thenation has lost its greatest son, and our people havelost a father. ”Mandela had been in poor health for several years.He was repeatedly treated in hospital, most recently for a lung infection. He became infected with tuberculosis(肺结核)many years ago while in prison.Nelson Mandela was the main leader in efforts to end white minority rule in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for his part in fighting apartheid(种族隔离)—the nation’s policy of discrimination(歧视)against blacks.Many world leaders, past and present, are remembering Nelson Mandela.Frederick W. de Klerk was South Africa’s last apartheid leader. He freed Mandela from prison in 1990. Later, the two men won the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. de Klerk said people will remember Mandela for the importance he placed on reconciliation(和解)—being able to reach a settlement between conflicting sides. He said their relationship was, in his words, “often stormy”, but he said they were“always able to come together at critical(关键的)moments. ”In the United States, President Barack Obama called Mandela an influential, brave and profoundly good human being. Mr. Obama said Mandela will be remembered for leaving a free South Africa at peace. “I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. My very first political action—the first thing I ever did that involved an issue, or a policy, or politics—was a protest against apartheid. I would study his words and his writings. ”In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron called Mandela a true global hero. In his words, a great light has gone out in the world.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了南非前总统曼德拉的去世及世界各国主要领导人对曼德拉的缅怀。
