2019届山东省滕州市高补学校一轮复习英语过关自测题(一)一、完形填空13-year-old Madison was studying at home when her mother burst in. She said a boy had fallen into a septic tank (化粪池) and made an urgent ____ for Madison’s help.They ran to a neighbor yard, where the ____ adults surrounded the septic tank opening ____wider than a basketball. The boy, aged only 2, had slipped in and was ____.Madison quickly ____ the situation. She was the only one who could ____ through the small opening. Without ____, she got close to the opening and said, “____ me in.”Some people held her waist and ____. She wiggled (扭动) arms and shoulders until she ____ the opening. Inside, the tank was dark and the air smelly. When she stuck her arms into the dirty water, she jammed her left wrist against a hidden stick, ____ it severely.____ tend to her injury, Madison scanned the surface of the dirty water, hoping to ____ the underwater boy. Suddenly she saw his little toes stick out. When spotting the vague ____ of his foot again, Madison shot out her ____ hand, grasped the foot tightly and shouted, “Pull me up!”As they nearly reached the surface, the boy’s other foot got stuck. She wiggled his foot until it was ____. Eventually they were lifted out.____, the kid wasn’t out of trouble. Having suffered from lack of ____ that long, he wasn’t breathing. He was then given hard hits on the back until he coughed up water. At the sight of this, Madison sighed with ____.Madison received months of treatment for her wrist, which made her ____ actions more impressive. 1.A.appointment B.attempt C.choice D.request 2.A.anxious B.curious C.annoyed D.merciful 3.A.partly B.previously C.slightly D.dramatically 4.A.floating B.weeping C.trembling D.drowning 5.A.controlled B.examined C.took part in D.gave up6.A.look B.jump C.fill D.fit7.A.time B.permission C.hesitation D.judgment 8.A.Throw B.Lower C.Force D.Push9.A.legs B.arms C.head D.hands 10.A.adjusted to B.got through C.tore down D.held on to 11.A.touching B.trapping C.injuring D.striking12.A.In an effort to B.Rather than C.Likely to D.Ready to 13.A.feel B.smell C.follow D.attract14.A.skin B.gesture C.picture D.outline15.A.left B.single C.good D.clumsy16.A.frozen B.free C.flexible D.bare 17.A.However B.Instead C.Therefore D.Personally 18.A.protection B.oxygen C.gravity D.energy19.A.fright B.cold C.relief D.respect 20.A.unselfish B.thoughtless C.unconscious D.random二、阅读理解Dogs and humans have been living side-by-side for about 15,000 years, but there are tons of facts about dogs that perhaps we have never heard of.Night visionDogs have good night vision. Their large pupils let more light in and the rods (视杆细胞) work better in poor light. But the biggest factor is the tapetum (反光组织), which reflect light at the back of the eye. Besides, dogs’ whiskers (胡须) also help them “see” in the dark because they pick up on very small changes in air, providing dogs with information about the size, shape, and speed of things nearby.Secret tail codeDogs can use their tails to communicate. They wag their tails to the right when they are relaxed or happy, and to the left when nervous or threatened. When they’ re aggressive, the tails will stick straight-up in the air. A broad wag is friendly while a slow wag is neutral, neither excited nor anxious.DreamsWe often see a dog’s body making sudden movements in its sleep. Dogs have the same brain wave patterns as humans’ while they are asleep, so they dream just like we do.Super noseDogs can find their way home despite long distances. Their noses are a vital part of their incredible sense of direction. The part of a dog’s brain that controls smell is 40 times larger than humans’. They’re able to follow smells for miles. Furthermore, dogs have an amazi ng ability to recognize the smells given off by the abnormal cells in human bodies, including cancer. This is something scientists are eager to explore further. And interesting, a dog’s “fingerprint” is on its nose. The patterns on dogs’ noses are so disti nct that they can actually be used to identify the animals.A sixth senseDogs act strangely before something bad, like a storm or earthquake, happens, for they aresensitive to low frequencies that humans can’t sense. So don’t let their strange behavior g o unnoticed next time. It could save your life.21.Which of the following indirectly helps dogs see well in the dark?A.Their rods. B.Their tapetum.C.Their whiskers. D.Their pupils.22.If a dog holds up the tail, it indicates ________.A.happiness B.attackC.friendliness D.relaxation23.What hasn’t been discovered about a dog?A.Why it can sense natural disasters. B.Why it has an acute sense of smell.C.What emotions it shows with its tail. D.How it can smell humans’ illnesses.24.In what way are dogs like humans?A.They dream when they sleep. B.They have good night vision.C.They have distinct nose patterns. D.They can react to low frequencies.For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?”I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually;I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made.I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only throughthe act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing— both of the house and heart.25.What made the author feel bitter?A.She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.B.Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.C.Her mom was always left alone at home.D.Her mom wasted money on useless things,26.The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to ________.A.getting rid of the stuff. B.buying the stuffC.opening the stuff D.moving the stuff27.We can infer from the passage that ________.A.the author never bought her mom anythingB.the author’s mom has no money to purchase nowC.the author s mom regrets buying so many thingsD.the author knows her mom’s suffering only this wee k28.What’s the best title of the passage?A.How to do shopping wisely B.The importance of self-forgiveness. C.Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D.Clearance helps remove sufferingWe all think plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify. ’’The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行动物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm-blooded animals aren’t immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, comparedwith historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.29.What does the text mainly talk about_______A.Why some species become smaller.B.How climate changes in Earth’s history?C.Climate change has many negative effects.D.Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.30.The underlined word “trumped” m the first paragraph probably mean_________. A.strengthened B.gainedC.beaten D.equaled31.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that________A.they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller.B.all the animals on the earth have become smaller.C.climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.D.increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller.32.What does the author feel about the climate change?A.Disappointed B.OptimisticC.Worried D.Shameful三、七选五Culture shock is the emotional and mental reaction to being in a completely new cultural environment. 33.it generally consists of several stages of feelings.The “honeymoon stage” is usually, the first stage that people go through when surrounded by different cultural values and lifestyles. During this stage, people have positive images of their new cultural surroundings. They tend to view these in an idealistic way and ignore problems. 34.This stage is usually quite short and quickly replaced by the second stage called “the frustration stage”.During the “frustration stage”, newcomers begin to act negatively.35.Visitors tend to exaggerate (夸大) problems in the new culture. They may feel isolated (孤立) during this stage. Depending on one’s situation, this stage can last days, months, or even years.With the frustration stage ending, the adjustment stage begins. This marks the time when newcomerstry their best to accept the differences of the new culture and the challenges of everyday life.36.Some newcomers enter the “mastery stage” and are completely accustomed to the values and beliefs of the new culture. They are able to handle the new culture like a native while keeping some of their own original cultural values. Some choose the “rejection stage” and decide against fitting in with the new culture. 37._ Other newcomers completely adopt the identity ofthe new culture and give up the values and beliefs of their home culture.A.Meeting new people is seen as fascinating.B.The new cultural surroundings are no longer novel.C.They regain their sense of balance and become confident.D.This process opens the door to three possible outcomes.E. For many people this is often a very difficult experience.F. A person experiencing culture shock may display many symptoms.G. They usually permanently withdraw from the culture through isolation or returning home.四、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Sometimes the best life lessons are found deep in the roots of where we came from. My father passed away years ago, but I always remember the lessons he taught me. Three of them particularly shape my perspective day after day.The first one is that little things make big things happen. To the best of my memory, when I was young, we needed to build a new shed. Those were the days when stores like Home Depot and Lowes didn’t exist.Brand-new timber (木料) was expensive, so folks often reused the materials that others in the commun ity didn’t need. That summ er, Dad and I used the boards from an old abandoned barn. We pulled them down one by one, drew the nails out and took off the tin and straightened it in order to reuse it. We got our supplies back to our yard and got to work. I don’t know how muc h of a help I really was, but I chose to stay beside Dad the entire period, working along with him.The sun was hot that day, and sweat formed and ran down our faces. I stood there and handed him the nails one by one, which were hammered into that shed. Dad made me feel proud of my work. Even though I just handed him the nails, he repeatedly emphasized how we built the new shed “together”. He taught me that when you’re wil ling to do hard work, even in little things, big things come together.The second one is that we should honor our promises. As a young man, my father always carried a pocket-sized Bible in his chest pocket. Shortly before the invasion of Normandy in 1944, he prayed for God’s protection and promised God that if he made it home, he would make sure his family attended church every Sunday. Well, he made it home and he kept that promise. I cannot remember a Sunday when Dad did not take my mother, my siblings and me to church — even when we were away on vacation. I now have my Dad’s pocket Bible. It i s one of my most treasured possessions, and it serves as a constant reminder of my dad’sservice to his country. However, it also serves as a visual representation of my dad’s firm determina tion to keep his promises.Today, I place great value on my family and my faith, undoubtedlyThe third one is that listening is a way to acquire wisdom. My dad and I kept ourselves busy doing a lot of things together. During the nights of late summer, after dinner, the whole family would gather on our small porch to talk as the sun went down. Sometimes an aunt or uncle would drop by, and at other times my grandparents would be there. They would talk about the neighborhood news, the goings-on in modern Western society and politics — mostly ordinary things, but it was good to sit there listening and to be together. Moreover, sitting there on the porch as dusk faded into night, I learned the value of listening and observing. Sometimes taking a moment to pause gives us the best perspective and sometimes we find the best answers simply by listening.Life in America becomes more complex. However, I like to think back to the simple lessons I learned from my father. They were the building blocks of my character and the values that still guide me today. Perhaps someone who has influence on your life taught you life lessons that helped form your cha racter. I’m convinced that our nation could gain a lot by applying these lessons today. If we did, I think we would bereminded that the reason why our nation has become great is not merely that we have had wise leaders or well-spoken elected officials. Our nation has become great because of those ordinary Americans like my father, who have pride in their work, place great value on honesty, character and commitments, and pass those lessons on to their children and grandchildren. And that is the reason why we are still great today.A.tried his best to help his fatherB.realized how hard his father workedC.managed to get in touch with some folksD.was curious about everything22.Why does the author keep his father’s pocket Bible?A.He has great faith in religion.B.It reminds him to keep his promises.C.He takes it to church every Sunday.D.It reminds him of his fathe r’s survival in the matc h.23.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A.The importance of keeping family values.B.Three lessons he learned from his father.C.The happy time he spent with his father.D.The factors making a country rich and strong.A.wise leaders determine a co untry’s statusB.the author dislikes the well-spoken officialsC.ordinary people have an eff ect on a country’s fu tureD.the author’s father was greater than anyone else in his heartBasketball Statistician Help WantedThe Athletic Department is looking for students to help assist staff during the Fall 2019, Winter 2019 – 2019 and Spring 2019 semesters(学期).

There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s begi nning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook and serve foods on a mass scale. And the indu stry isn’t stopping th ere.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy.A restaurant in Spain us es a Foodini to “recreate forms and pieces” of food tha t are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.Sustainability (可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae (藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients (烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions.Grocery stores of t he future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a pie ce of yesterday’s bread fro m the supermarket, you’d eat som ething baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste (糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurant than homes and high-end restaurants.28.What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A.It improves the cooking conditions.B.It contributes to restaurant decorations.C.It helps cooks to create new dishes.D.It saves time and effort in cooking.29.According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A.can keep all the nutrition in raw materialsB.is more tasty than food in supermarketsC.can meet individual nutritional needsD.is more available to consumers30.What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreadin g widely?A.Some experts doubt 3D food printing.B.Food materials have to be dry.C.3D food printers are too expensive.D.The printing process is complicated.31.What could be the best title of the passage?A.The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionB.3D Food Printing: From Farm to TableC.A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingD.3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology, 三、七选五Rules on how to be a fit kidBeing fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physicalhere are three rules to live by.1.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The life of Gwendolyn Brooks., B.The poems of Gwendolyn BrooksC.The understanding about black culture., D.The struggles of black women.25.What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks from the second paragraph?A.She mainly wrote about the struggles of black women.B.She was good at using the language of poetryC.Her writing skills were a little worse than her ability.D.Her poems were mainly about the African experience26.The author develops the passage mainly by___________.A.providing examples, B.using statisticsC.comparing opinions, D.describing her experiences27.In the next part, the author would most probably talk about______.A.the difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks would meetB.the poems related to political issuesC.the awards Gwendolyn Brooks gainedD.the racial inequality the black had to faceHoliday Inns and McDonald’s. both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s. Their growth opened another direct business operation—franchising.These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. The parent company’s method s and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisee’s purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and the company’s reputation spreads, the values of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, bring into play the economies of scale. Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one, Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, though, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independent’s freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factory’s costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid for th e goodwill, the franchisee won’t thoughtlessly destroyit.28.Franchising refers to a business operation in which a successful parent company .A.sells name-brand goods to a private investorB.rents proven ideas and techniques for investmentC.sells the right, the guidance to a business under its nameD.takes no advertising responsibility for individual investorsA.an immediate investment returnB.the profit from the sale of suppliesC.the ownership of additional retail storesD.the possibility of profitable advertisingA.the advantages and disadvantages of franchisingB.the benefits of franchising to the franchisorC.the unmatched economic growth in the 1960’sD.some regional and national business operation31.. What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A.More advantages of franchising.B.Negative aspects related to franchising.C.The standard of consumer acceptance.D.Risks of investment besides franchising, 三、七选五Most of us don't like to think too much about rubbish.32.. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet's waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the'3 Rs'-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle."The order is important.33.," says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. "Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse."But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The life of Gwendolyn Brooks., B.The poems of Gwendolyn BrooksC.The understanding about black culture., D.The struggles of black women.25.What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks from the second paragraph?A.She mainly wrote about the struggles of black women.B.She was good at using the language of poetryC.Her writing skills were a little worse than her ability.D.Her poems were mainly about the African experience26.The author develops the passage mainly by___________.A.providing examples, B.using statisticsC.comparing opinions, D.describing her experiences27.In the next part, the author would most probably talk about______.A.the difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks would meetB.the poems related to political issuesC.the awards Gwendolyn Brooks gainedD.the racial inequality the black had to faceHoliday Inns and McDonald’s. both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s. Their growth opened another direct business operation—franchising.These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. The parent company’s method s and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisee’s purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and the company’s reputation spreads, the values of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, bring into play the economies of scale. Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one, Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, though, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independent’s freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factory’s costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid for th e goodwill, the franchisee won’t thoughtlessly destroyit.28.Franchising refers to a business operation in which a successful parent company .A.sells name-brand goods to a private investorB.rents proven ideas and techniques for investmentC.sells the right, the guidance to a business under its nameD.takes no advertising responsibility for individual investorsA.an immediate investment returnB.the profit from the sale of suppliesC.the ownership of additional retail storesD.the possibility of profitable advertisingA.the advantages and disadvantages of franchisingB.the benefits of franchising to the franchisorC.the unmatched economic growth in the 1960’sD.some regional and national business operation31.. What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A.More advantages of franchising.B.Negative aspects related to franchising.C.The standard of consumer acceptance.D.Risks of investment besides franchising, 三、七选五Most of us don't like to think too much about rubbish.32.. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet's waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the'3 Rs'-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle."The order is important.33.," says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. "Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse."But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. "34.," says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. "The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. "In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill(垃圾掩埋场)for up to 700 years-and that's before it even starts to rot. 35..Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference."36.," says Ho.

But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of comp anies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2019 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there wo uld still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.24.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The result of job reduction.B.The fast development of AI.C.The future life of elderly people.D.The influence of technology on jobs.25.What will people most probably do in the future?A.Take the place of AI.B.Work in a traditional way.C.Take up jobs requiring creativity.D.Enjoy life without working anymore.26.What can be known from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph?A.Job unemployment will stay high.B.More jobs tend to appear in the future.C.Job competition is likely to grow fiercer.D.Technology will have less control over jobs.27.What is the best title for the text?A.Are People Losing Their Jobs?B.The Requirements for Future JobsC.The Challenging Life in the FutureD.Does Technology Simplify Everything?Holiday Inns and McDonald’s. both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s.

Claustrophobia can be deep fear or even panic as a result of being in a small space.Claustrophobia can develop after a troubling childhood experience, or from another unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces.32.This response then becomes programmed in the brain, making an association between being in a tight space and feeling anxious or out-of-control. As a result, the person often develops claustrophobia.33.Claustrophobia symptoms can include: sweating, accelerated heartbeat, upset stomach, shaking, breathing problem, etc. The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room, avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car, or stand near a door when at a party.34.Claustrophobia can have harmful social and psychological effects, since the patient will often avoid situations in which she thinks she will have an anxiety attack, leading to hiding and sadness.35.Exposure treatment, a form of mind-behavioral treatment, usually results in a total reduction in anxietysymptoms if conducted properly. Flooding is a type of exposure treatment in which the person is exposed to a situation until the anxiety attack passes.36.Medications to help treat claustrophobia include things which help toease the heart beating to fast often associated with anxiety attacks.A.According to some doctors, claustrophobia is worse than the fear of heightsB.The past experience can trace back to the moment of birthC.The good news is that claustrophobia is very treatableD.When a person with claustrophobia finds herself in a restricted space, her body responds in certain waysE.
