AFAQs on preparing your ApplicationQ:Should I target my Application to a specific Job Opening(JO)?A:Yes.Naturally,a customized cover note will also help you focus on the key aspects of your Application that relate to the JO,but it is also in your interest to target the Application according to the responsibilities and competencies of the position.Q:What's the difference between duties and achievements?A:Duties describe the specific responsibilities of your job.They accurately reflect what you are doing or have done in each of your previous jobs.In other words,it is the "what you do" of your job.Achievements describe in specific terms "how well" you did in your job.Q:Many of my achievements are team﹣based,how do I draft them in my Application?A:You should include your team﹣based achievements in your Application.Indicate that you were part of a team,and describe your specific role in reaching the goal.FAQs on general Application guidelinesQ:Can I save my Application?A:Yes.You should save your Application when you make changes and/or update it.It is recommended that you save different versions of your Application in Word format and then edit the Application online according to the post for which you are applying.Q:Can I update my Application to apply for a new JO?A:Yes.Each time you apply for a new JO,we recommend that you review your Application and update it,if appropriate,or target it to better reflect your suitability for the new JO.Your updates will not affect the content of Applications previously submitted against other JOs.Q:Must I use up all the available characters in each section of my Application?A:No.In fact,doing so may result in an unnecessary lengthy Application.Unless you have an enormous range of experiences,there is no reason to use up all the space given.Applicants are encouraged to list their duties and achievements in a clear and brief manner.21.Which of the following descriptions best shows your achievements?A.I succeeded in directing a video presentation,assisting our group to win the first prize.B.I'm good at creating proposals for new product ideas aimed at a specific market.C.I'm in charge of the clearance,production and distribution of information material.D.I've developed various interests,ranging from oil painting to designing model.22.Unless you are eager to apply for erstwhile JO,you'd better .A.target your focus on your interest in the JOB.save your latest application in Word formatC.prepare one application with all your competenciesD.update your application to match new requirements23.Applicants are expected to in their applications.A.introduce what JOs they have previously applied toB.list the greatest achievements they have made in detailC.give key information about their experiences and achievementsD.provide the results of their tests,assessments and examinationsBNew York’s UndersideA dangerous jobSince I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 "sandhogs" —— the nickname for the workers who build New York's underground—— boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft du g through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That's enough water to fill more than2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly- -only four meters a day- -and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars."Why do this work?" I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian's father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. "It's the money," he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog's chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above- ground construction wo rker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you," one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.A river of sewageOn another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city's sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, "What happens if you fall in and you're not attached to a rope?" He said if you didn't pull yourself out, you'd drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it's still a terrifying thought.Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, "See any alligators?" Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn't believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.24.The writer of the passage is .A.considering getting a job as a tunnel workerB.taking tourists into New York City’s tunnelsC.interested in what lies beneath New York CityD.reporting on the benefits of working underground.25.What danger that underground workers face is NOT mentioned?A.slippingB.being cut by rockC.drowningD.elevators falling26.Sewer workers probably carry tanks of air because .A.the smell of the sewage is badB.the tunnel is filled with smokeC.they have to dive into the sewageD.they need to clean the air in the sewer27.What would be the best heading for the last paragraph?A.Recent Alligator SightingB.The 80-Year-Old AlligatorC.How to Survive SewageD.Just a Story?CHARDCORE TANO*C is an independent Japanese music label that is known for releasing music compilations and albums focused on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore,happy hardcore,and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by Yoshikazu Nagai(who at the time used the Akai Hito alias),originally under the name of Hardcore Tanoshii,but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album HARDCORE SYNDROME. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin(同人)music releases,and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years,including the annual TANO*C TOUR series of events and the S2TBTANO*C events done in collaboration with kors k’s S2TB Recording label.From 2011 to 2018,HARDCORE TANO*C were very closely linked with BEMANI,most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C’s members were frequent contributors to BEMANI,and KONAMI even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to various other music game titles.Many guest artists have appeared in HARDCORE TANO*C compilations, including Ryu☆,kors k,DJ Shimamura,m1dy,M-Project,JAKAZiD(as Joshka),Hommarju,Camellia,lapix,C-Show,Maozon,Nhato, Dustvoxx,and Akira Complex.By the end of 2017,HARDCORE TANO*C has started to produce major artist album releases,containing licensed works done for music games by the circle’s artists. From September 2018,a sub-label directed by DJ Myosuke named HARDCORE TANO*C HARD has been established, which focuses on harsher music. HARDCORE TANO*C is also heavily involved in the 2019 rhythm game WACCA,which is published by MARVELOUS!,with nearly its entire staff contributing to the game.A song composed by various members of HARDCORE TANO*C,BATTLE NO.1,was planned to be in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN for the The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship,under the artist name of TANO*C SOUND TEAM. KONAMI rejected the song(likely due to their poking fun(打趣)of the BEMANI Sound Team moniker, which was at its most extreme in the time of that event),and it later appeared instead in the HARDCORE TANO*C-produced game WACCA on August 1st,2019. It also appeared in lowiro’s Arcaea as part of the Arcaea× HARDCORE TANO*C Collaboration(联动)and SEGA’s maimai でらっくすSplash. It was added to Muse Dash on February 5,2021.28.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Some basic information about HARDCORE TANO*C.B.The founder and members of HARDCORE TANO*C.C.The relationship between Yoshikazu Nagai and HARDCORE TANO*C.D.The relationship between BEMANI and HARDCORE TANO*C.29.Among the following members, who has NOT shown up in this music label ‘s compilations?A.Camellia. B.Laur. C.Maozon. D.Akira Complex.30.What can we know about the rhythm game WACCA?A.It was produced by HARDCORE TANO*C last year.B.None of MARVELOUS!’s employees is working for it.C.The song BATTLE NO.1 was included in this game.D.It had a collaboration with Muse Dash in Feb.,2021.31.Arcaea has collaborated with both HARDCORE TANO*C and WACCA. As a player of Arcaea,what should you do?A.Try playing WACCA if possible.B.Spread bad comments about HARDCORE TANO*C.C.Only cheer for the game or the artist you like.D.Ask the official staff about the song selection petulantly.DMost managers can identify the major trends of the day. But in the course of conducting research in a number of industries and working directly with companies, we have discovered that managers often fail to recognize the less obvious but profound ways these trends are influencing consumers aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors. This is especially true of trends that managers view as peripheral to their core markets Experts from Harvard Business School give some advice to managersOne strategy, known as infuse and augment, is to design a product or service that keeps most of the attributes and functions of existing products in the category but adds others that address the needs and desires unleashed by a major trend. A case in point is the Poppy range of handbags, which the firm Coach created in response to the economic downturn of 2008. The Coach brand had been a symbol of wealth and luxury for nearly 70 years, and the most obvious reaction to the downturn would have been to lower prices, However that would have risked cheapening the brand's image.Instead, they initiated consumer-research project which revealed that customers were eager to lift themselves and the country out of tough times. Using these insights, Coach launched the lower-priced Poppy handbags, which were in bright colors.and looked more youthful and playful than conventional Coach products. Creating the sub-brand allowed Coach to avoid an across-the-board price cut. In contrast to the many companies that responded to the recession by cutting prices, Coach saw the new consumer mindset as an opportunity for innovation and renewal.A more radical strategy is 'combine and transcend'. This involves combining aspects of the product's existingvalue proposition with attributes addressing changes arising from a trend. To create a novel experience - one that may land the company in an entirely new market space. At first glance, spending resources to incorporate elements of a seemingly irrelevant trend into one's core offerings sounds like it's hardly worthwhile. But consider Nike's move to integrate the digital revolution into its reputation for high-performance athletic footwear. In 2006,they teamed up with technology company Apple to launch Nike+, a digital sports kit comprising a sensor that attaches to the running shoe and a wireless receiver that connects to the user's iPad.By combining Nike's original value proposition for amateur athletes with one for digital consumers, the Nike+ sports kit and web interface moved the company from a focus on athletic apparel to a new plane of engagement with its customer.Once you have gained perspective on how trend-related changes in consumer opinions and behaviors impact on your category, you can determine which of our innovation strategies to pursue. Trends -- technological, economic, environmental, social, or political -- that affect how people perceive the world around them and shape what they expect from products and services present firms with unique opportunities for growth.32.The underlined word “peripheral”in Para graph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.A.marginalB.importantC.subjectD.relevant33.According to the second paragraph, Coach was anxious to_____.A.follow what some of its competitors were doing.B.maintain its prices throughout its range.C. safeguard its reputation as a manufacturer of luxury goods.D modify the entire look of its brand to suit the economic climate.34.What does the writer suggest about Nike's strategy?A.It was an extremely risky strategy at the time.B, it was a strategy that only a major company could afford to follow.C. It was the type of strategy that would not have been possible in the past.D It was the kind of strategy that might appear to have few obvious benefits.35.The best title for the passage is probably_____.A.Knowing more about your customers.B.Making the most of trendsC.Eyes on strategiesD.Following the advice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。

The Taylor family lived in the small town of Karnack, Texas. Claudia's father, Thomas Jefferson Taylor, owned two stores as well as thousands of hectares(公顷)for cotton production. Her mother, Minnie Taylor, died when Claudia was only five years old. A woman who worked for the Taylor family gave Claudia her nickname. Alice Tittle said the small child was "as purty as a lady bird."As first lady, Missus Johnson became an energetic activist for educational and environmental issues. She helpedsupport Head Start, a public program aimed at giving educational and health services to young children from poor families.She started the Society for a More Beautiful National Capitol. Its aim was to improve the beauty of Washington by planting trees and flowers in public areas and parks. Missus Johnson understood that these improvements were also linked to important issues such as pollution, public transportation, mental health, and crime rates.Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson had a difficult four-year term. The president faced strong opposition about the United States involvement in the war in Vietnam. In nineteen sixty-eight, President Johnson surprised the nation by announcing that he would not seek reelection as president. The Johnsons left politics and returned home to Texas. Mister Johnson died of a heart attack in nineteen seventy-three.Lady Bird Johnson continued her tireless work to improve the country's naturalenvironment. She created the National Wildflower Research Center in nineteen eighty-two. The center helps to educate people about the environmental importance and value of native plants. Missus Johnson died in two thousand seven at the age of ninety-four. Her memory lives in the many fields of wildflowers that color the roads of America.56.What happened to Claudia in 1917?A.She was bornB.She got her nicknameC.She got marriedD.Her mother died57.From the passage,we know that The Beautifieation Act is a(n)____.A.activityB.ornanizationwD.center58.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?dy Bird Johnson had an unhappy childhooddy Bird Johnson was brough up by Alice TittleC.Mrs. Johnson was devoted to education and environmentD.Mrs. Johnson did not support her husband during hiw four-year term59.The passage inicates that Mrs. Johnson was the best know for ___A.the National Wildflower Research CenterB.her contribution to environmental improvementC.her concerns about the helth of poor young childrenD.her influence on other activistsBThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality and value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's most widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major religion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers(哲学家)have their own golden idea. The golden mean says moderation in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoughts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.(哲学思想)Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived in peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A golden age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scientific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirties and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This means silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothing than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this expression in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Christmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called "The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person does something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say something nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who seeks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested in that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties that are still well known and popular today. These are called golden oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American television comedy series told about four older women living in Miami, Florida. The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way.Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.60.According to the “golden ratio”,which of the following objects in the most pleasant to see?61.The article mainly tells us ___A.the value of goldB.the expressions with “gold”C.the history of gold industryD.the purity,beauty and power of gold62.Which of the foolwing scokcoces is made out of place?A.The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Confucisn philosophical thought,such as Golden Mean.B.At the beginning of the twenty first century,computer reached its Golden Age.C.She only dates guys with money.She’s a Gold Digger.D.My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages63.What we can infer from the passage is that ___A.all the expressions in the article are positive deacriptionB.the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek philowpher AristotleC.the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s or 60s which are not well-know todayD.in their golden yearw,older people can still work hard before ther retireCEarly childhood TeacherChildren’s Preschool is a non-profit,parcot cooperative child care center located in the East Rock neighborhood of new Haven.We are looking to hire an expericoced teacher fo 25-30 hours per week.As a teacher,you will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children by providing them with a safe and nurruting environment that encourages their social,comtional,physical,and intellectual development.Requirementa:64.Children in children’s Preschool are most popbably___A.under 3 years oldB.aged from 3 to 5B.above 5 years 0old D.under 5years old65.Allthe following qualifications are required by both ads EXCEPT____A.good teaching capacityB.a certain degreeB.good command in EnglishC.associated experiencd66.If you are interested in teaching preschool children,you may contact by___A.telephone or letterB.emailC.letter or emailD.telephone or email67.Who is the most lkely tobe hired by IECC?DStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect the other person enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or benefici al, it’s best to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fool’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.Hower,there will be times in your life where you will need the power of your voice,the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and apprecitsed.68.The passage mainly tells us about ___A.when to stay silentB.why to stay silentC.how to stay silentD.whether or not to stay silent69.What is the best to do during negotiation?A.Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB.Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC.Say what you chould and draw a conclusionD.Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs70.What does the undedined word “elevate” most probably mean?A.startB.concludeC.interruptD.cancel71.To follow this passage,the writer is likelhy to continue telling about___A.the power of your voiceB.the occasions when you should speak upC.the advantages of speaking upD.the dissdantages of staying silentEYou may think that light pollution isn’t something extraordinarily important. You may believe that every other type of pollution has a larger impact on the environment that light pollution does. But light pollution is serious.Light pollution, or “sky glow”, is the glow(亮光)you can see at night above cities and towns. Light pollution is a problem that has been accompanying man ever since he started his first fire some 15,000 years ago. Light pollution is the light(散射光)that comes from streetlights, buildings, parking lots and any other source of light that is reflected or directed into the atmosphere.Urban light pollution means that one-fifth of the world’s population can no longer see the Milky Way(银河) with the naked eye(肉眼). Many city kids, even if they did look through the orange smog above their heads, would probably see only a handful of stars. We have lost our view of the stars, and we have mucked up our night-time environment as well. Astronomers are calling for the dark places on Earth to be preserved as national parks.Lots of people find the ever-brightening night annoying, and animals that are programmed to prefer the dark may avoid a brightened habitat. Sea turtles can get lost searching for a beach to lay eggs, and their hatchlings(孵化的幼仔)may confuse over-lit beachfront resorts(度假胜地) for the ocean horizon, wasting precious energy neededto find the sea and escape predators(食肉动物). Because their necks aren’t yet long enough to see things far away, baby turtles rely on the mirror image of the moon to guide them to the sea, to begin their new life. A car may even hit a particular turtle, which was thinking the light from a nearby city was moonlight reflecting off the ocean waves. Birds that live in and around cities can die because of sky glow, too. The bright lights can blind them, leading to countless collisions with buildings and other tall structures.Reducing light pollution is nod difficult.Light pollution is the easiest type of pollution to end. people can help reduce much sky glow by using lighting only when necessary. The stars above us are priceless heritage— for not only for astronomers but for all humans. More of our children should be able to look up at night and see the Milk Wayis not just a candy bar.77. The underlined part “mucked up” probably means_________ .A. ruinedB.protectedC. affectedD. blamed73.All the following statements are false EXCEPT_________.A. Light pollution does not have as large an import on the earth as other types of pollution doB. Light pollution exists everywhere on the eafthC.People in some parts of the world cannot see the Milky Way with their naked eyes as a result of light pollutionD.Loght pollution came into existence with modem technology74.Beacuse of light pollution,the sea turtles hatchlings may___A.find the sea easilyB.cscape predatonC.be misled by bright lights from beachfront resortsD.find the way to the sea with the help of bright lights75. The author mentions the Milk Way in the last paragraph to show that_________.A. we should take action to reduce light pollutionB. light pollution isn’t something importantC. most kids are looking forward to seeing the Milk WayD. the Milk Way can’t be seen with naked eyeMany people use E-mail, blogs, text messages and social websites like Facebook to keep in touch with their friends. Now there is also Twitter(微博客). This online service lets people send short messages that are no more than 140 letters long.Here is how it works: Users can set up their own Twitter page by joining the free service on Twitter. com. They can search the website to find friends who are also using the service. By choosing to “follow” friends, users can see their new messages. Updates appear instantly in a list form as they are written. Twittering describes writing new updates on Twitter. A tweet is an individual Twitter update, or message.Unlike blogs, Twitter users do not have to log onto the website to post updates. They can send and receive messages through mobile phones as text messages or through E-mail. Other programs available for download make Twitter updates appear on your computer screen. People use social websites like Facebook to share information with a special group of friends. But most Twitter users make their messages public.Twitter says its service provides a way for people to stay connected to others, through messages describing what they are doing at that moment. But twitters also use the service to get quick answers to questions or to get breaking news.For example, when he was a presidential candidate, Barack Obama announced his choice for vice president on Twitter. Many other politicians in Washington use Twitter to share their daily activities with supporters. Some critics say Twitter is a waste of time that takes people’s attention away from their work. Yet a growing number of users around the world see it as the latest method for busy people to get and share information quickly.Topic ● A new online service --- Twitter.Theme ● Using the new service to 76__________ their friends.77_________ Twitterworks● Users can set up their own Twitter page by joining the free service on Twitter.com.● Users can find friends and use the service by 78__________ the websites.● Users can see friends’ new 79__________ by choosing to “follow” friends.80_________ of Twitter● There is no need for Twitter users to log onto the website.● Through mobile phones, Twitters’messages can be sent and received in the81________ of text messages or emails.● Unlike Facebook, Twitter users’ messages are 82__________.●Twitter users can also get quick answers to questions or get breaking83.__________.Viewpoints● Some believe Twitter makes its users not 84__________ on their work.● Others think Twitter is the latest method for busy people to 85_________ withothers.其次节书面表达(25分)假如你是李华,你的美国笔友Robert来信说他正在学习唐诗。

河南省洛阳市2021-2022学年高三年级第一次统一考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Are you looking forward to a vacation with your family in Caribbean islands? Actually, a family vacation in the Caribbean islands doesn’t come cheap but is affordable. These four wonderful kid-friendly hotels are ideal for you.Dreams Palm Beach HotelClose to Higuey, this hotel by the sea is just the place to enjoy the feel of Caribbean sand.

She didn’t move. She just sat with her head down staring at her hands.When I sat down beside her, she didn’t even notice me. I wondered if she was OK. So I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head, looked at me and said with a smile, “Yes, I’m fine .Thank you for asking me.” “I didn’t mean to disturb you, Grandma, but you were just sitting here staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK,” I explained to her.“Have you ever looked at your hands?” She asked.“I mean really looking at your hands.”I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. And then I turned them over. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I tried to figure out the point my grandma was making.Grandma smiled and told me the following story, “My hands put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots. They held my husband and wiped my tears when he went off to war. They were uneasy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated with my wedding band, they showed the world that I was married and loved someone special. They wrote my letters to him and shook when I buried my parents. They held my children and grandchildren and comforted my neighbors. They covered my face, combed my hair and washed the rest of my body. These hands are the mark of where I’ve been and the ruggedness of life.”I never look at my hands the same again. When my hands are hurt or when I touch the faces of my children and my husband, I think of my grandma. I know I can also create a bright future using my hands.4.The writer disturbed her grandma in order to know ________.A.what she was doing B.whether she understood the writerC.why she was staring at her hands D.if there was something wrong with her 5.What does the underlined word “ruggedness” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Pleasure.B.Richness.C.Roughness.D.Excitement. 6.What can we know about the writer’s grandma?A.She is fond of telling stories.B.She treats others in a caring and helpful way.C.She loves telling stories in an interesting way.D.She prefers to talk with others about her friends.7.The author mentioned her grandma’s story to show that her grandma ________. A.couldn’t do anything as a result of her weak handsB.lived a poor life without any help of technologyC.felt very tired when dealing with life with her weak handsD.managed to go through many difficulties with her weak handsAngela Pozzi didn’t like seeing plastic trash washing up on the shore near her home in Bandon, Oregon. She wanted to unite her community to clean it up, so she started an organization and called it Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea.V olunteers help clean up Oregon’s 300 miles of shoreline. Then, using only plastics from the beach cleanup, Ms Pozzi and her staff and many, many volunteers create sculptures of sea animals. Ms Pozzi says, “I want to create sculptures that, hopefully, will make people consider their plastic purchases and be aware of how so much plastic ends up in the oceans.”Since 2010, more than 10,000 volunteers have collected 21 tons of trash and helped create more than 70 works of art. Four traveling exhibits have displayed the sculptures in more than 18 places. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, hosted an exhibit through September 2018.People have used plastics to create life-saving medical devices, inexpensive containers and gadgets, and toys, of course. But unlike wood, cotton, and other natural materials, plastics don’t break down into anything useful to other living things. Instead, they stay for years in landfills, waterways, and the oceans. The materials are harmful to some sea animals, such as turtles, sea lions, and birds. Some of these creatures eat plastic objects that look like food. Others become entangled (被缠住) in plastic nets or packaging.Ms Pozzi gives credit to everyone who helps. “One person didn’t create these sculptures,”she says. “Some people have picked up the plastic; others have sorted the items by color. Still others have washed each piece of plastic trash. V olunteers have drilled holes or helped to make the small wire-stitched panels, while others welded (焊接) the giant frames. I do the heads and detail work, and my staff and I take all the pieces everyone contributes to finish the work.” Says Ms Pozzi, “Until we run out of plastic on the beach, the work will continue.”8.According to the passage, Washed Ashore ________.A.is an official organization B.collects plastics for moneyC.turns the waste into artworks D.aims to prevent the use of plastics 9.What do the numbers in Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.The long history of the organization.B.The accomplishments of the organization.C.The sculptures are popular in many places.D.Many people are in favour of the organization.10.Which can best describe plastics according to the passage?A.A double-edged sword.B.A threat to living things.C.More stable in landfills.D.Food for sea creatures.11.Why does Ms Pozzi introduce the specific process of creating the sculptures?A.To teach it to readers.B.To show its difficulty.C.Because she feels very proud.D.Because it is an art by teamwork.Do we still need cash? The days of holding notes in our hands may be numbered. The advancement of technology and the increase of new electronic and mobile device in today’s world is set to revolutionize how we make payments. With a swipe (刷) or a click of a mobile-phone app, our entire wealth is literally at our fingertips. As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments, some think that we should become fully cash-free. However, I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society.One of the main concerns of a cashless world is the risk of cheat and ridiculously, the inconvenience that follows. The instant content that accompanies cashless transactions (处理) could be compromised by online security issues. Technology experts argue that our current state of technology is unable to provide a secure cashless environment that could prevent people from accessing the system illegally and abusing the personal data. In addition, many online shopping sites lack strong systems that would protect their customers’ personalcredentials (可信). Occasionally, when an account is “locked” due to a suspected cheating activity, having cash in hand becomes critical. In a cashless society, a victim of cheating would find himself locked out of his account and unable to access his money until the case is solved. Going cash-free causes great inconvenience in this case.Another reason is that mankind might potentially become less thrift (节俭的). Paying in cash causes a psychological pain on consumers so that they are more cautious in their spending. As it is, cashless payments have already eased that pain somewhat. Thus, an even more careless digital payment could make us much less thrift.The idea of cashless society is a very real, or even an exciting one. However, to safeguard the interests of all users, it is better to soften our enthusiasm — perhaps to be a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one is a more working option.12.How can cashless payments benefit people according to the author?A.They can warn people of risks.B.They can remind people of mistakes.C.They can reduce psychological pain.D.They can make life convenient.13.What’s the second reason the author tells to support his idea?A.The risk of cheat.B.The inconvenience.C.The lack of safety.D.The desire to purchase.14.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Going Against the Cashless Wave B.Going Completely Cashless Is True C.Stopping Moving towards Cashless D.We Do Not Need Cash Any Longer 15.The passage is mainly developed by ________.A.giving examples B.analyzing causesC.making introductions D.examining differences二、七选五How to Be a Good Upstairs NeighborOne must remember to be polite when living in an apartment building. You may unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you think to be harmless. ____16____ Living upstairs, you must always be aware that everything you do may be heard by those wholive below. This doesn’t mean that you have to completely change your lifestyle, though.____17____ This will greatly reduce the sound of your footsteps, thus limiting the sound your downstairs neighbor will hear. You should always remember to change your shoes when entering your apartment to ensure that your downstairs neighbor doesn’t hear you walking around.Place carpets in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to decrease the sound of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your furniture on these carpets. ____18____Close your windows when you can. A floor is usually about three meters high, so it’s quite easy to hear your conversations. ____19____ Therefore, whenever you are watching TV or listening to a radio, try to keep your windows closed as much as possible.Do your cleaning on weekend afternoons. ____20____ Doing such housework at 3:00 pm on a Saturday is much better than doing so at 9:30 on a Tuesday night.A.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment.B.It becomes much easier when your windows are open.C.No matter what you do, consider your neighbor’s requirements.D.There’ll be a time when you will run a cleaner to clean your room.E.This is especially true for those people who live above an apartment.F.It will disturb your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning.G.This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor may hear.三、完形填空Last week I wrote about how giving to others can and does lift your life and brings more happiness, contentment, and even better health and a longer life. It must have ____21____ me to practice what I was preaching (宣扬) because later I ____22____ myself in my car driving to the high school that all my kids attended and going ____23____ to the office where I made a pretty sizable donation.As I walked out of the building, I felt so good and happy in the ____24____ of my heart and brain that I ____25____ another school. I made a couple more ____26____ that day and felt like I was on top of the ____27____. It’s very ____28____ that when I make donations,including all those $2 bills that I ____29____ give to kids, I always feel that I _____30_____ much more out of it than the recipient (接受者). What a great _____31_____ it gives me! As science has proved, there is a great _____32_____ between the brain and the _____33_____.

one of the changes is good for those of us who shop there.The grocery aisles(通道)have been rearranged with some going in one direction and others going in another.The aisles have been pushed closer together,makingit harder to get through them.It seems like all of these changes have been for the purpose of slowing the shoppers down so they will make more impulse(冲动)buys.As I walked through the store today,no one was smiling and everyone was unhappy about it.The change that bothered me the most,however,was in the check-out aisles.Only a few cashiers were left working with huge sections changed into self-scanning check-outs.It saddened me to see this.I knew that people were probably going to lose their jobs because of this change.I got in a cashier aisle and patiently waited while I saw some other people struggling to figure out how the self-scanning machines worked.I swore at that moment never to use one myself even if I had to wait longer every time I shopped there.When I finally arrived at the front of the aisle,I saw the cashier was someone I knew.I greeted her with a smile.She smiled back with warmth and kindness that touched my soul.We chatted happily while she scanned and bagged up my groceries.I felt a friendship and a connection with her that warmed my heart.I wished her well before I left.Machines can do a lot for us,but there are many things they can’t do.They can’t smile or love.Only we can do that.It is time that we should realize that profits aren’t more important than people and that machines aren’t more important than us.It is time that we should learn that loving each other and this world is what life is all about.24.What may account for the store’s changes?A.To make more profits.B.To satisfy the shoppersC.To offer more products.D.To make shopping easier.25.What’s the result of the use of self-scanning machines according to the author?A.It will attract more customers.B.It has reduced the cashiers’burden.C.It has brought shoppers more convenience.D.It will make many people unemployed.26.How did the author feel when he met the cashier?A.Calm.B.Glad.C.Angry.D.Surprised.27.What’s the best title for the text?A.Machines or Us?B.Why Use Machines?C.Are Changes Necessary?D.How Does the World Change?CThe Himalayas,which stretch some2,900kilometers between India,Pakistan,China,and Nepal,are the world’s tallest mountain range.In addition to Mount Everest,the world’s tallest mountain by peak elevation standing8,848meters tall,the range also features several other mountain peaks over8,000meters.It is the only mountain range to have mountains over8,000 meters—the runner-up is a mountain range in South America,whose tallest peak is just6,952 meters tall.Millions of years ago,these mountain peaks didn’t exist.The Asian continent was mostly complete,but India was an island floating off the coast of Australia.Around220million years ago,around the time when Pangea was breaking apart,India started to move northwards.It travelled some6,000kilometers before it finally hit Asia around40to50million years ago.Then, part of the Indian landmass(陆块)began to go beneath the Asian one,moving the Asian landmass up,which resulted in the rise of the Himalayas.It’s thought that India’s coastline was denser and more firmly attached to the seabed,which is why Asia’s softer soil was pushed up rather than the other way around.The mountain range grew very rapidly in comparison to most mountain ranges,and it’sactually still growing today.Mount Everest and its fellows actually grow by approximately a net of about a centimeter or so every year.The Appalachian Mountains in North America,which developed some300million years ago or more,is actually decreasing in peak elevations as it erodes(侵蚀).The continued growth in the Himalayas is likely due to the Indian tectonic(地壳构造上的)plate still moving slowly but surely northward.We know the plate is still moving in part because of the frequent earthquakes in the region.28.What do the underlined words“the runner-up”in paragraph1probably mean?A.The fastest.B.The lowest.C.The most popular.D.The second tallest.29.What led to the formation of the Himalayas?A.The long coastline of India.B.The fast movement of India.C.The firm attachment of Asia to the seabed.D.The meeting of India with the Asian continent.30.What can we learn from paragraph3?A.Most mountains in the world grow rapidly.B.The Appalachian Mountains have soft soils.C.Mount Everest will be about one meter taller in a century.D.The Appalachian Mountains was once taller than the Himalayas.31.What will happen to the Himalayas in the future?A.It will continue to grow.B.It will move southwards.C.It will attract more tourists.D.It will have fewer earthquakes.DA new study has found that getting adequate sleep is the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Grossman,who led the research,wasn’t trying to find the association between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the100students in his class.Instead,the professor hoped the popular wrist-worn device,which tracks a person’s activity24/7,would show a correlation(关联)between physical exercise and academic achievement.As part of the research,a quarter of the participants were enrolled in an intense fitness class specially created for the study.After the term ended,Grossman was surprised to find that there was no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not.However,the study provided a surprising insight.As the researchers were analyzing the large amount of data,they noticed an interesting trend coming from the participants’sleep patterns.There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his grades on exams.Even more interestingly,it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.Grossman says,“It turns out that a good night’s sleep doesn’t correlate at all with test performance.Instead,it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”The time when students went to bed each night was similarly important.Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly,even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.“When you go to bed matters,”Grossman says.“If you get seven hours of sleep,no matter when you get that sleep,as long as it’s before certain times,say you go to bed at10,or at12,or at1,your performance is the same.But if you go to bed after2,yourperformance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours.So,quantity isn’t everything.”32.Why did Grossman do the research?A.To call on students to have enough sleep.B.To find the connection between physical exercise and grades.C.To show lack of sleep increases a person’s risk of getting diseases.D.To prove enough sleep is important to students’academic performance.33.How did the researchers get the result of the experiment?A.By analyzing data.B.By researching online.C.By referring to students’reports.D.By asking students’parents.34.What is the most important for students to get good grades?A.Working out every day.B.Staying up late to study.C.Sleeping well during learning days.D.Getting enough sleep the night before a test.35.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.Going to bed early is important.B.The total time of sleeping matters most.C.The quality of sleeping determines everything.D.Students perform well by going to bed at1am.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
