Red Nose DayRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief. This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”. Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, inbanks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. This is like a television marathon (马拉松)that shows some of theevents of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day，you will know why you find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book aholiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By green" we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into atravel agency, pick up brochures (宣传册), read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to lookat holidays at any timeof the day. The travel agents,however, areusually very busy at times when peoplecan actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend.You could use the telephone, but you wouldn't be able tosee the pictures or the details of the holidays, So you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping forholiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lotsof different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, bookingonline is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days ofthe Internet, there is really no need for such a large amountof paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it willdo a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.

After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”‘s i t’ s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project.

It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11. The writer' s friend advised her not to .A. worrv about her son's weightB. take the risk of gaining weightC. change her own eating habitsD. talk to her son about his weight12. The study found that some kids had fewer eating problems because they ________.A. learned to eat healthilyB. took part in the studyC. focused on their weightD. believed the scientists13. When told about their fatness, some kids _____________.A. felt helplessB. became angryC. began to eat no foodD. refused to take any advice14. If a father focuses on his daughter' s interests, she will feel ____________.A. amusedB. encouragedC. surprisedD. challenged15. When taking to their kids about eating behaviors, parents should ______________.A. focus on being healthyB. use short and simple wordsC. respect their kids' viewsD. compare their kids with others第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16～25题，每题1分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请完成短文后的2项测试任务：(1)从第16—20题后所给的6个选项中为第①~⑤段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)从第21~ 25题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项，分别完成每个句子，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C、D、E或F）填在答题纸的相应位.Plagiarism（剽窃）①You just found some good .stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plag iarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’re need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:1 8. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221. You commit plagiarism when you ________22. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether_________23. Copying whole paragraphs can ____________.24. Once caught for plagiarism,_______________25.

In a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that people who spent money on experiences were happier than those who spent money on material possessions.According to the study, experiences give us more happiness because they provide us with long-lasting memories that we can look back on and cherish. On the other hand, materialpossessions tend to lose their value over time, leaving us with feelings of dissatisfaction and the desire to acquire more things.Another reason experiences bring more happiness than possessions is that they connect us with others. Whether you are traveling with friends, attending a concert with your partner, or dining out with family, experiences create lasting bonds that can strengthen relationships and increase overall well-being.So, the next time you have some extra cash to spend, consider investing in a new adventure rather than a new gadget. You'll find that the memories and connections you make will bring you more joy in the long run.1. What does the study in the passage suggest about spending money on experiences?2. Why do experiences bring more happiness than possessions, according to the passage?3. What can experiences help to strengthen, according to the passage?4. How can spending money on experiences benefit us in the long run?5. Why is it important to consider investing in experiences rather than possessions?Passage 2Questions 6-10Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. From virtual assistants that help us with everyday tasks to computer systems that can predict market trends, AI is revolutionizing the way we live and work.One of the main benefits of AI is its ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This allows businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time information, leading to increased efficiency and profitability.In the healthcare industry, AI is being used to help doctors diagnose patients, predict outbreaks of diseases, and personalize treatment plans. By analyzing patients' symptoms and medical histories, AI can provide recommendations that are tailored to individual needs, leading to better outcomes and lower costs.In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud, manage investments, and improve customer service. By analyzing transactions in real-time, AI can identify suspicious activities and potentially save businesses millions of dollars in losses.Overall, AI has the potential to transform industries in ways we never thought possible. As technology continues to advance, the opportunities for AI to improve our lives are endless.6. What is one of the main benefits of AI mentioned in the passage?7. How is AI being used in the healthcare industry?8. In what ways is AI being used in finance?9. What is one example of how AI can help businesses save money?10. What is the potential of AI in transforming industries, according to the passage?Passage 3Questions 11-15Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. From rising temperatures to extreme weather events, the effects of climate change are being felt around the world.One of the main causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. When these fuels areburned, they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.To combat climate change, it is essential that we move towards renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. By harnessing the power of these clean energy sources, we can reduce our carbon footprint and help mitigate the effects of climate change.Individuals can also play a role in fighting climate change by making small changes in their everyday lives. From reducing energy consumption to recycling and using public transportation, there are many actions we can take to reduce our impact on the environment.Governments and businesses must also take action to address climate change. By investing in renewable energy, implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable practices, we can work towards a more sustainable future for all.11.

However, it also has its drawbacks, such as limited social interaction and potential distractions. Despite these challenges, online learning is likely to continue to be a popular option in the future, given its numerous advantages and the ongoing advancements in technology.In regards to protecting the environment, implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability are crucial for addressing climate change and preserving our planet. Individuals and businesses can also play a significant role in contributing to environmental conservation efforts through adopting environmentally friendly practices and supporting green initiatives in their communities. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.Overall, both online learning and environmental conservation are important issues that require collective action and commitment from individuals, governments, and businesses. By recognizing the benefits and challenges of these topics and taking proactive steps to address them, we can work towards a brighter and more sustainable future for all.篇32020年10月英语自学考试真题Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list ofchoices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.Artificial Intelligence and the End of WorkArtificial intelligence (AI) might not bring about the end of the world, but there is no denying that AI will be the end of work as we know it. The time has come to find a compromise (妥协) between the traditional belief in hard work and productivity and the emerging realization that a society of abundance (丰盛) is around the corner.A recent McKinsey study looked at 46 countries and 800 job types, accounting for 51% of the world's labor and concluded that by 2030 up to 800 million people could be looking 1____ work. This 2___ to 30% of the global workforce. "Jobs will come and go, but what we need is a skill, universal and constant, that lasts a lifetime," says Michael Freedman, the author of a book about the future of the workplace and CEO of the nonprofit foundation Umalia.3___Universal basic income, where the government pays a regular stipend (津贴) to its 4_____ irrespective of their employment status, is a natural 5____ in this direction. The idea of universal income has been around for some time, but not 6____ the central stage in discussions as it is today. "We have to break the belief that work is the only way to achieve dignity and social esteem," says Freedman. "We have to recognize that work isn't what makes us human. Creativity, emotions… we can't be 7___ by machines in these things."But replacing work with robot-produced abundance implies profound changes to the ways societies are organized, economically, culturally, and spiritually. "Every industrial 8___ disrupts society's organization, and AI is a major disruption," says Freedman. "We will have to rethink education, social support, and pretty much every 9____ aspect of our lives." The question is not "Can we avoid AI?" Instead, Freedman thinks we should be asking questions like "What is society for," and "How does 10____ value?".Word Bank:A. alteredB. eliminatedC. facingD. regardlessE. territoryF. integrateG. prosperH. overwhelmedI. progressJ. compensated参考答案：1.

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Many people think that focusing on gratitude makes them vulnerable. If you are appreciative, then that means you are a pushover, easily satisfied with too little. In reality, findings suggest that focusing on things for which they are grateful helps them feel better about life and have a more positive outlook about the future.Part of gratitude's power is in its limitation. A study found that grateful people aren't looking at the world through 11____ colored glasses. Instead, they are attuned to the good things in life but also aware of the possible obstacles, challenges, and limitations ahead. Simply not ignoring difficulties, hoping that they will go away, but accepting them and 12_____ them as well. Grateful people believe that they also have the strength to overcome and surpass them.Another aspect of thankfulness is in psychology. As one positive emotion, the positive effect of gratitude can seem like a change in the brain. Brain 13____ associated with gratitude are activated through the expression of gratitude. Every time you say, "Thank you," heart health is greatly improved because gratitude14___ "unlock" and turn on the area of the brain that benefits resilience, regulation of emotions, mental health, and well-being.Another study showed a relationship between positive emotions and long 15___ health success. After observing people's expressions, researchers discovered that expressions of thankfulness and appreciation were one of the top predictors of health, happiness, and success in life.Answers:11.

It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11.

You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plag iarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’re need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:1 8. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221.

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday，it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is，but it is something that you should think about.By“green”we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday，you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions.The first is to go into a travel agency，pick up brochures（宣传册），read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone.The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies.The main one isconvenience.You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day.The travel agents，however，are usually very busy at times when people can actually go，i.e.lunch hours or at the weekend.You could use the telephone，but you wouldn't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays，so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.o There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites.They search through lots of different tour operators，and the results are displayed on one page，from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.

Bicycle CommutingI may not be а movie star, best-selling author,or millionaire when I grow up, but one thing I will be known for, at least locally, is commuting by bicycle.l's sad to see how few people do even though many could. Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases, but by driving cars, they're still contributing to the problem.You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者) , but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world recycle' '. Actually my interest in exercise, health and fitness led me to cycling.Cycling can help you lose weight, improve your health, and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.While being good for your body bicycle commuting is also а great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle, plant tee, and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车),but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle а few times а week.Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost.But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save а significant amount each year by not driving а car.You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting. Actually you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. lt helps you care for the environment, save money, and most importantly get fit.1.I will write а best-selling book on cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.Many local people commute by bicycle.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.I am devoted to environmental protection.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.I started cycling to improve my health.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.People are less likely to get injured while cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.People drive to work for convenience.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Bicycle commuting could be more effective in reducing greenhouse gases.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.People are in a good mood while cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.Gas prices keep going up.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.Bikes are inexpensive to most people.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given二、阅读选择（11--15，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题纸相应位置上将该项涂黑Spilt (打翻的) MilkI recently heard а story about а famous scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. He was asked why he was So much more creative than the average person.He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) and it fell, spilling (打翻)the milk all over the floor.When his mother came into the kitchen,instead of yelling at him, or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what а wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done.Would you like to play in the milk for а few minutes before we clean it up?"Indeed, he did. After а few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make а mess like this,eventually you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use а sponge (海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is а failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.
