My father and I disagreed about my curfew(晚间在家的时间).He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays,and 11:00 on weekends,and there was no exception.One day,I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew.I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid.He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction,it was really about people looking out for one another.The very next Friday after that exchange,my dad and I had tickets to see our own town’s professional football game.On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.To make sure we could move off the moment he came back,I got everything prepared.When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home,I understood that he was a little late.But then,nearly a whole hour passed.I was getting upset.We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously stepped the floor,another half hour passed.That was when I got really angry.How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However,when another half an hour passed,my anger turned to fear.What if something terrible had happened to my dad,like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident,or something else? I began to get really worried,feeling like sitting on pins and needles.I had already called his cell phone about ten times,but there was no answer.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
2022届高三第二次学业质量联合检测英语第一部分阅读(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四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AThings to Do with Kids in San FranciscoExploratoriumThe Exploratorium is a 21st-century learning lab. It takes the best part of a hands-on children's museum and mixes it with real science, exploration, and adventure. It is a fun and interesting place or children and adults alike. I would not recommend the Exploratorium for children under age 5.Palace of Fine ArtsThe Palace of Fine Arts is a great place to visit when the weather is nice. The gardens are beautiful and it's fun to walk around and explore. A lot of special events seem to be held here including weddings. The kids really enjoy walking around and taking pictures.San Francisco Cable CarsNo trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a cable car. The best line to pick up is the Hyde line because it is the longest. The best time to go is first thing in the morning because the lines can be long, Another tip is to pick it up mid-line. Or ride another two lines where they won't be as crowded.Boudin Museum Bakery TourThe Boudin Museum Bakery Tour cannot be missed. You may be blown away by the enthusiasm and knowledge of your tour guide, the quality of the museum, hands-on and photography friendly exhibits, and the rich San Francisco history that is a part of Boudin Bakery. Don't miss taking the test to find out what kind of bread you are. It sounds silly but trust me, you'll want to take the quick quiz.1.Which of the following can give kids hands-on science experience?A. Palace of Fine Arts.B. Exploratorium.C. Boudin Museum Bakery Tour.D. San Francisco Cable Cars.2. What do we know about San Francisco Cable Cars?A. Few people like to ride them.B. Their round trips take a short time.C. They are running on three lines.D. They often break down on the way.3. What can visitors do on their Boudin Museum Bakery Tour?A. Learn to be a guide.B. Hold special events.C. Walk around a garden.D. Take an interesting test.BAnimal rescuer and cinematographer Douglas Thorn’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. "I started rescuing orphaned baby animals, "Thorn says. "And I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer.When Thron grew up, he did just that, working for shows like Discovery Channels Shark Week, filming the great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. But Thron says it was the Paradise Fire in California in 2018 that "pushed" him to do animal rescue activism work, putting his aerial cinematography skills to good use.At the time, Thron was filming a man who was rescuing cats after the fire using an infrared(红外线) hand-held camera. The camera uses heat to detect the animals at night Thron and the man talked about how incredible it would be to put one on a drone(无人机) to detect animals more easily. "The animal's body temperature will glow on the screen and you can pick them out among the bricks and stones, "explains Thron.The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog in the Bahamas after a category-5 hurricane hit, which wiped out hundreds of houses. Thron tested out putting an infrared scope on a drone and found the dog."The drone really shaves off critical time so that the really badly hurt animals are able to be rescued, "Thron says. Once the scope picks up the "heat signature of an animal", Thron turns a spotlight on the animal and zooms in on it, so he and the rescue crews can go and save the animal.Thron has basically been "going non-stop since then". His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heart-warming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana in 2020 and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia in 2020.4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Researching rare animals B Rescuing homeless animals.C. Becoming a disaster rescuerD. Working as a cinematographer.5. What's Thron's purpose for attaching the infrared camera to the drone?A. To locate an animal quicklyB. To shoot more inviting photos.C. To take animals' body temperature.D. To give warnings of dangers timely.6. What's the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The difficulties Thron has to overcome.B. The skills Thron will need to operate the drone.C. The way Thron uses the drone to rescue animals.D. The reason why Thron chooses his present job.7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Thron?A. Modest.B. Creative.C. Generous.D. Outgoing.CLike many parents working from home while their kids are learning remotely, we've been looking for creative ways to connect with our children—and nowhere has this been truer than in the kitchen.Kitchen science, as Liz Heinecke, author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids calls it doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients (配料)—and, best of all in the era of remote education, we can combine science lessons with everyday meal preparations. By helping with cooking, kids can engage in lively, project-based lessons. Actually, even the easiest recipes include both simple and complex scientific concepts.Kitchen science isn't just about what we' re cooking: it's also about understanding why It's worth taking the time to figure out how ingredients and temperature interact and why substances behave the way they do. Everyone involved will learn something.For example, we all know oil and water don't mix easily, but we can change this by adding mustard(芥末) to the oil and water to make a salad dressing. This is an opportunity to teach kids about the science of emulsions (乳化).Adding lemon juice to a vegetable stops that vegetable from turning brown: cabbage changes color when you add vinegar to it. Both of those phenomena are the result of chemical reactions. In the classroom, it can be hard to see how scientific concepts will apply outside the lab. But when kids see these concepts play out in the real world, that sparks curiosity and learning."Every time you step into your kitchen to cook, you put science to work. In fact, physics and chemistry come into play whenever you steam, bake, freeze or boil. Thus, every time you step into the kitchen, it's an opportunity for everyone to learn more about science, "Liz Heinecke said.8. What are parents expected to do in the kitchen?A. Ask kids to cook a meal on their ownB. Do science experiments in the kitchen.C. Pay attention to cooking ingredients.D. Combine scientific concepts with recipes.9. What does the fourth paragraph indicate?A. Raw materials are important in the kitchen.B. Procedures to cook dinner must be followed.C. Cooking can inspire kids' interest in studying science.D. Family education is more important than school education.10. What can we learn from Liz Heinecke's words?A. Cooking can benefit both kids and parents.B. Parents need to master different cooking skills.C. Lab experiments can be repeated at home.D. Schools should offer cooking courses.11. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A. To practice healthy eating habits.B. To learn food science out of the labC. To turn meal preparations into family learning.D. To teach kids some recipes for cooking in the kitchen.DWe've all been there, trying our best to do our bit to help save the planet, when a really essential item that you had to order online arrives in such an unbelievable amount of packaging that it makes you feel like it's an unprepared game of passing the parcel.It's made even worse by the fact that some of the packaging can't be recycled. In fact, 10 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced in the UK every year. A lot of this ends up in landfill, two-thirds of which could have instead been recovered.The good news, however, is that how packaging waste is managed is in for a BIG shake-up in line with the "polluter pays principle". By placing the main point of duty to pay on brand owners, they will be encouraged to choose more sustainable packaging options which are recyclable and reusable as much as possible. Otherwise, they will have to pay higher fees.This is a system known as Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR)—meaning that those who have control over packaging design decisions will be encouraged to do the right thing for the planet at the beginning and consider whathappens at the end of the packaging’s life from the start.What this means is that instead of local authorities picking up the bill for household waste management, companies will have instead to pay for managing your household packaging waste as well as the form businesses, and they will be met with the associated little costs too.And, as an added bonus, the new EPR laws on packaging will also mean that producers are required to put clar mandatory (强制性的) labelling on packaging, for example, this could be “RECYCLE” or “DO NOT RECYCLE”. Of course, we hope that the “DO NOT RECYCLE” category labelling is the minority. It is aimed that by 2030, 78% of packaging will be recycled in the UK.12. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Two-thirds of packaging waste is recycled.B. Over-packaging is often the case in life.C. The quality of goods cannot be guaranteed.D. Online shopping is getting less popular.13. Who will be responsible for paying packaging waste costs according to the law?A. Designers.B. Producers.C. Customers.D. Local authorities.14. What can the EPR laws lead the brand owners to do?A. Pay higher taxes and recycle the packaging waste.B. Put clear labelling on packaging and promote sales.C. Cut packaging waste and improve packaging recycling.D. Follow the packaging design trend and to right things.15. What can be learned about the items ordered online in the future?A. Their labelling on packaging will be simple and generous.B. The majority of their packaging needn’t be recycl ed.C. They will be of high quality and inexpensive.D. They’ll arrive in the right amount of recyclable packaging.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But that should not drive one away from the path that they arc on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of tan William.Popularly known as the “Social Golfer", Ian William is an accountant, lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of playing golf at childhood. He would often observe players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial limitations. Then he began practicing in various golf matches. Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional. He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coining year.However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤)in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He underwent two surgeries in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Ian caught meningitis (脑股炎)while recovering from it. Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation, Just as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Ian's body was affected by a major stroke (中风), This stroke numbed the left side of his body. His life-long dream of participating in a golf tournament could not be fulfilled anymore.Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger. He wanted to inspire millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book. Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years in 2020.4.

William showed talent in golf as a child.B. The lack of money prevented him practicing golf at an early age.C. William's road to becoming a professional golfer was smooth.D. Talent and ambition made William learn quickly.6. Which of the following hclps William facc the ilnesss according to the passage?A. Doctors' comfort.B. Family's support.C. Advicc from the books.D Hope and optimism.7. What can we Icam from William's story?A. Move forward whatever happens.B. Larc wins over ilness.C. Seizc every opportunity to It at1.D. Luck favors rcady minds.CFor many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge (粥) or steamed buns (慢头).Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calori es that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene arc jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.8. What can we leant about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph!?A. People prefer porridge and steamed buns.B. Cold sandwiches arc a popular choice.C. People avoid western food for breakfast.D. Coffee is a must for many people.9. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?A. Because it's newly launched.B. Because it contains more vegetables.C. Because it's traditional.D. Because it's tasty and healthy.10. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?A. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.B. Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.C. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.D. Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.11. What docs the author intend to tell us?A. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.B. Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.C. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.D. Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.DIn 2019, more than 1.4 million young people around the globe took part in the School Strikes for Climate Action protests that were largely advocated by 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The inspirational young Swede, while a media favourite, is far from the first or last young person to fight for a better environmental future.With the rise of social media in recent years, websites such as YouTube provide accessible coverage on ecological matters that quickly gather millions of views, and links to new scientific information arc easily shared between peers. But, it's not just online research that exposes the truth, and it's not a distant threat either. Climate change is happening around us as we speak; an increase of droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be made.A study on participants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incentives (刺激)to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the fixture might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.12. Why is Greta Thunberg mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To show that the young activists are playing a part.B. To give an introduction to Greta Thunberg.C. To illustrate the seriousness of climate change.D. To arouse readers' interest in environmental protection.13. What does the underlined phrase "write off" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Consider unimportant.B. Take seriously.C. Give up.D. Write down.14. what does paragraph 4 focus on?A. The way young activists work.B. The advantages young activists have.C. The contributions young activists make.D. The views young activists hold.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Greta Thunberg: an outstanding activist.B. Climate change: a matter needing everyone's attention.C. The rise of social media makes ecological matters accessible.D. The young arc making a difference to the environmental future.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled (大雪橇)can go faster than 80 miles an hour. 16 The answer is a combination of athletics and science.At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints (冲刺跑).It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. 17 The design of the sled's runners (滑板} reduces their friction with the ice. 18 They may not melt enough ice fora fast ride. Runners that arc too rounded may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down.19 The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials check the temperature of the runners. Runners may not be more than a few degrees warmer than the ice. 20But remember the sled must not be too fast ---- the crew still needs to be able to reach the bottom safely.A. Why do people go for the sport?B. Crews polish their runners for a fast ride.C. The riders sit inside a hard shell, called cowling (整流罩).D. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway?E. A hot runner will melt more ice and may possibly go faster.F. Runners that arc too flat would spread the friction over a wide area.G. All other work goes into keeping other forces from slowing the bobsled down.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.Devin Hinkston, 30, was driving through the town when he spotted a boy playing basketball in his driveway.

Family.BWhen the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to proteet the neighbors. They shuttheir doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages - complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils - to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."4. How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?A. Quiet.B. Delighted.C. Comfortable.D. Lonely.5. What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?A. To raise more money for nursing homes.B. To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.C. To teach seniors to communicate effectively.D. To promote the development of the nursing industry.6. What can we learm about the Brighten A Day project?A. It offers its volunteers the special packages.B. It encourages seniors to use fewer smart devices.C. It is supported by volunteers across the country.D. It was started during the disease first hitting this area.7. Which of the following words can best describe Hita Gupta?A. Caring.B. Curious.C. Faithful.D. Professional.CWhat makes you happy? You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism(利他行为).Helping others may actually increase your happiness.According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first."The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy- an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first," researchers wrote in the study.But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.8. What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?A. Driving a new sports car.B. Travelling during a vacation.C. Offering generosity to others.D. Spending time with their family.9. How did the researchers prove their findings?A. By using examples.B. By making experiments.C. By clarifying a concept.D. By demonstrating facts.10. What does the underlined word "elicit" mean in paragraph 5?A. Produce.B. Improve.C. Display.D. Discover.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Pursuing Happiness for Others CountsB. Sharing Your Values Will Make SenseC. Improving Happiness Benefits You MuchD. Helping Others Can Improve HappinessDA. green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.7hißwater was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the airf emiperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said. "But it was worth it to watch those sea turtles go down the slides back where they belong."12. Why did the green sea turtles struggle to move in the water?A. They were about to sleep in winter.B. The water around was usually warm.C. They became trapped by fishing nets.D. A freezing cold front suddenly occurred.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. What kind of care the sea turtles received.B. Why the volunteers went to the dark center.C. How the volunteers looked after the turtles.D. Whether it was necessary to keep turtles clean.14. What may be the direct result of the act of releasing?A. More sea turtles will be born in this area.B. Many sea turtles had died before releasing.C. The volunteers had a sense of achievement.D. A lot of green sea turtles were finally rescued.15. What does this text want to convey?A. We should live in harmony with nature.B. Great things may be done by mass efforts.C. Nature is a mirror reflecting human activities.D. It is crucial to improve the habitat of sea turtles.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。

She suddenly realized something. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal, but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth. Then, she put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Jenny sighed. Mustering up her courage, she approached the table where the twins and their parents were finishing their meal.She placed the cookies down, and bravely looked the girls in the eyes. “Thank you for coming to our restaurant!” Jenny said with a smile. “Oh, fortune cookies, I love these!”Cried one of the girls, reaching for the tray. The other sister looked at Jennie carefully and her eyes lit up with recognition. Then they introduced themselves to each other. Everyone was very happy and they talked a lot about their school and classmates. Later they made an appointment to hang out together. Jenny tried to downplay the swell of happiness she felt, but she wasn’t succeeding.附:听力原文Text 1W: How was your appointment, dear?M: Well, unfortunately, the doctor thinks I need to start wearing glasses.W: That’s no surprise. You hold the newspaper right up to your face when you read it. I’ve been saying that you need glasses for years!Text 2W: What kind of basketball is that?M: It’s a Wilson X Connected Basketball. It can track the shots I make. It lasts up to 100,000 shots, and it has training games to help me improve my skills.

You need to keep him on a chain. He’s very mean. W: My dog weighs only two pounds. He couldn’t attack you even if he wanted to.Text 6W: So, get this.

Even though the food is bad, we’re here now, so we might as well enjoy ourselves. My drink is pretty good. I think I’ll order another one.W: We can always just leave our food and grab a piece of pizza on the way home.M: That’s a good idea. Let’s finish our drinks first.W: Okay.

and Politics,encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast,it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible.After all,just a few short years ago,he was living on the streets,couch-surfing at friends'houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet.Now,one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University,over4,000miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him,so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life.Whatfollowed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years,he moved from house to house,living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that,despite his rocky start in life,Emanuel involved himself in school-doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费)money in his spare time.But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately,the government backed him,having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education.He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a1st Class Honours degree and went on to do his Masters.Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different."I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly,not thinking he would reply,and to my surprise,he did.I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's.When I was told I was successful,my whole world changed."24.What does the underlined word"pinch-me"in Paragraph1probably mean?A.Expected.B.Unbelievable.C.Awkward.D.Anxious.25.What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?A.His father was mentally ill.B.He was abandoned by his mother.C.He was once adopted by his relatives.D.He lived with his friends now and then.26.How did Emanuel afford his university education?A.By receiving a regular student loan.B.By earning the tuition all by himself.C.By borrowing the money from friends.D.By getting support from the government.27.What can we learn from Emanuel's story?A.Well begun is half done.B.It's never too old to learn.C.You are the master of your life.D.Lost time is never found again.CParents around the world often urge children over and over-wash your hands!It can be difficult,however,to get children to remember to wash.But what if washing hands was connected to a fun,creative activity?What if instead of simply reaching for the soap,a machine could drop it right into your hands?Well,such a machine was recently built by a boy and his sister in the U.S.state of Maryland as part of a creative competition.The not-for-profit Rube Goldberg Organization is holding the competition.Every year,the Rube Goldberg competition assigns a specific task,considering inventions that use complex systems to carry out a simple everyday task.At first,the task for2020was supposed to be"turn on a light."But when the COVID-19happened,the task was changed to"drop a bar of soap into someone's hand."Those taking part in the competition are schoolchildren.But with schools closed to slow the spread of the virus,organizers changed the rules.This year,the team can include any family members and people were asked to send in recordings of the machines to compete.One thing has not changed:The machine must complete the task in less than10steps.In Maryland,the Kiel family wanted to enter.So,Caitlin and her brother Ben designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machine.Next,they had to demonstrate that it could complete the task-throwing the soap just right to be caught in someone's hand.After106failed attempts,they finally had success.With their video demonstration,they can now enter the competition.Dr.Anne Glowinski teaches child psychiatry(精神病学)at Washington University School of Medicine in St.Louis.She said that"creativity and play"connects with children.It is better than the

ticking.So why can't you seem to get rid of that?Though the psychological causes are still debated,there's a human tendency to over or underestimate the value of a reward based on its temporal proximity(时间接近).This is often referred to as temporal discounting.For example,if I offered you$100today or110in a month,most would take the hundred and run.But what if instead I offered you100dollars in a year or110in a year and one month,you might say to yourself if I can wait a year I can wait the extra month.But the time and value difference are the exact same in each example.It turns out that human motivation is highly influenced by how near the reward is,meaning the further away the reward is,the more you discount its value.So being online is more appealing than preparing for your test.The problem is surfing the Internet provides many small quick and continuous rewards unlike your test scores which are a future one.So how do you overcome the urge to put off so many tasks?Unfortunately there is no definite answer,but try rewarding yourself with a timely snack or other enjoyable activities.The Pomodoro Technique makes use of a timer to work for25minutes straight and when you've done this,give yourself the reward with a5-minute break.Then start the working clock again. Gradually increasing the amount of work time you put in will improve your time management skills.It's been shown that creating a costly deadline is also an effective way to manage your working habits. And try to enjoy the process of achieving something instead of thinking only our minutes of suffering.32.What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph1refer to?A.This article.B.Procrastination.C.An effort.D.The clock.33.An example is given in Paragraph2to make the theoryA.interestingB.accurateC.understandableD.influential34.Why is surfing online more attractive to students than studying?A.It helps them kill time faster.B.It offers them more information.C.It supplies instant rewards to them.D.It strengthens the bond between friends.35.What's a suggested solution to procrastination?A.Rewarding yourself with a future gift.B.Increasing the amount of work time.C.Ignoring the process of doing the task.D.Paying dearly for your procrastination.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。
