Dannis was waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first noticed the young woman withshiny black hair pulled tightly into a knot. She wore black boots of soft leather. Dannis struggled to sec her face, she was ahead of him in line, but it was not until she bought her ticket and turned to walk away that he realized her beauty, which was fair-skinned and big-eyed. She seemed aware that he was staring at her and lowered her gaze abruptly.His flight was leaving in an hour. To kill time, Dannis stepped into an airport bar and ordered aScotch. While sipping it, he watched the flow of travelers through the terminal （航站楼）until he caught sight of the black-haaired girl in the leather coat again, deep in conversation with a blonde girl （⾦发⼥孩）."Invite her for a drink?" Dannis hesitated. In another instant ,the two women separated, neither of whose directions was toward him.When next he saw her, Dannis was buying a magazine and became aware someone waspushing him. At first, he was startled （受惊吓的）that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he saw who it was, he smiled.“Busy place," Dannis said. She looked up at him and blushed. Wordlessly, she moved away and joined the crowds in the terminal. Dannis was at the counter with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet,the pocket was empty. Where could I have left it? His mind was racing, the credit cards, the cash, the identification card..? His stomach stirred with something very like fear. "The girl who was so near to me!" he said to himself. All at once he understood she had picked his pocket. What shall he do? First, find a policeman, tell him what has happened. He would probably never see his walletagain. Dannis gritted his teeth.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977 scientists studied works of art made at various times in history. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. But what do Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein have in common? They were all left-handed along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world's population may be left-handed.Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, andsleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations(职业), including professional baseball players, architects, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others have not been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9. 5-percent chance of having a left-handed child, while two left-handed parents have a 26-percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed.Whatever the reasons behind it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people are left-handed, only six percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now selling products for left-handed people, such as left-handed can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera.第二节概要写作(满分25分)While most of the world’s population is right-handed, a minority are left-handed. (要点1 ) Many researchers claim left handedness has something to do with physical and mental features and professions, but these assumptions lack solid evidence. (要点2) Thus, some think left-handedness is genetic while others attribute it to mild brain injury during birth. （要点3) Anyway, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot with the whole society accepting lefties more than before.(要点4) 68词2.浙江省台州市2020届高三11月选考科目教学质量评估第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Steve被当地一所孔子学院录取，即将入学，不知道如何作学业方面的准备。

2020.2.5英语培优试题I. Reading comprehension.ACARMEL V ALLEY – You don’t necessarily have to be older to be a Good Samaritan. Take Carmel Valley resident, Daniella Marie Benitez, 14, who is not your average teen. Daniella is helping Tijuana families have roofs over their heads – one family at a time.It began in 2017 while she was volunteering for Build A Miracle and building a home for a family in need in Tijuana, Mexico. Daniella found it so fulfilling that she took the lead in building another home with the support of her family and friends.To date, she has raised $32,000 for her cause and recently headed to Tijuana to begin building her team’s second home.“It has been an unbelievable experience,” Daniella, a freshman at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, said. She learned about Build A Miracle through her previous school, Notre Dame Academy. It is a nonprofit organization that takes a family in need from a shack (棚屋) to a new home with electricity, bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom. It has built more than 350 homes since 1999.During this most recent trip to Tijuana, Daniella and her team poured the foundation (基金) for the second new home. Additionally, she used her other volunteering position as a member of KIDBOX’s Kids board of directors to help distribute $10,000 worth of brand new KIDBOX clothing to her BAM community’s kids.Between BAM and KIDBOX, the busy teen said she would continue to volunteer both locally and in Mexico to “stay humble.” She isn’t about to stop helping others; in fact, it’s something she treasures. “I’ve been working with BAM for about a year and a half. I got involved at the end of seventh grade when my previous school sponsored the building of a school sponsored home; my mom forced my family and me to go down to TJ to actually help build the house,” she said. “Meeting the family and seeing their delight and relief when they walked into their new home was priceless and is what inspired me to keep doing this.”21. What made Daniella stand out among teens?A. Her constant efforts to help those less fortunate.B. The building of a school sponsored home.C. Her attempt to raise a fund for her cause.D. The organizing of Build A Miracle.22. How did Daniella make connections between BAM and KIDBOX?A. She encouraged KIDBOX to collect money for BAM.B. She promoted a donation to BAM from KIDBOX.C. She held leading positions in both organizations.D. She built a platform for them to communicate.23. What chiefly inspired Daniella to keep helping others?A. The support from her parents.B. Carmel Valley’s traditional values.C. Tijuana families’ happy reactions.D. The influence from her previous school.BWhen you don’t have a car and need to get around, are you more likely to call for an Uber or Lyft, or a cab? Last Friday, Lyft – the ridesharing company, went public as its stocks (股票) started trading on the market. Lyft has become the first big initial public offering of the “gig economy” age. While the company is not making profits yet, it is changing the meaning of work. What is gig economy and what makes it so appealing?Gig works are independent contracts (合同) or part-time jobs such as Uber. In the gig economy, companies hire independent contractors instead of full-time employees. This is different from traditional companies where full-time workers hold a lifetime career. In the past, only small companies hired contractors, while today, employers like Amazon and Google rely on temporary workforce. These companies save costs as they are not legally required to provide healthcare benefits, retirement savings or paid time off to gig workers.Gig work appeals to different people for different reasons. For some, it affords flexible timings and for others who are looking for full-time jobs, it provides a source of income to support themselves. Some people work a full-time job and supplement (补充) their salary with gig jobs such as driving for Uber or Lyft.Joining the gig economy may be simple, but maintaining a steady career is easier said than done. Gig work comes with unsteady pay and workloads. You’re your own boss. It sounds fun, but when you have no self-control and an unsteady job, you might splurge all your money the first week and live on bread pieces for the rest of the month! Besides a strong sense of responsibility, gig workers have to stay up to date to get companies to hire them.Despite the challenges gig workers face, nearly 60 million Americans are part of this workforce. As this number grows, we have to see how society and companies adapt to this new world of work!24. What can be learnt about Lyft from the passage?A. It has built up a large fortune.B. It makes the arrival of gig economy age.C. It employs a fixed number of full-time workers.D. It appeals to people as a means of public transport.25. Who are most likely to become gig workers?A. People seeking for a steady income.B. Those desperate to get paid vacations.C. People in need of flexible working hours.D. Those concerned about retirement accounts.26. What does the underlined word “splurge” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Spend money freely.B. Deposit money automatically.C. Earn money quickly.D. Allocate money randomly.27. What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage?A. Gig workers have to face some potential challenges.B. Gig workers have to possess some much-needed qualities.C. The appearance of gig companies will solve the job problems.D. People should adjust to new work trends with the rise of gig companies.CStone tools and pieces of animal bone from about 16,600 years ago are the earliest evidence yet of human beings in the New World, scientists say.The objects were found in the western United States. They were recovered from an archaeological site called Cooper’s Ferry on the Salmon River near the town of Cottonwood, Idaho. Scientists used radiocarbon dating methods to find out how old these artificial are.The scientists say people lived in or passed through the area when ice covered large parts of North America. That period of time is known as Earth’s Ice Age. During the period, big mammals like camels lived in North America. Loren Davis is an anthropology (人类学) professor at Oregon State University. He led the team of scientists working at Cooper’s Ferry.“The Cooper’s Ferry site is the earliest radiocarbon-dated archaeological evidence in the Americas,” Davis said. The researchers said the artifacts suggest that people first lived in the area between 16,600 and 15,300 years ago and returned to live there many times after that.Scientist say humans first appeared in Africa about 300,000 years ago and later spread throughout the world. There has been much scientific debate about when humans first entered the Americas. They are believed to have crossed into North America at a time when Siberia and Alaska were connected by land.The new findings support the assumption that the first human migration into the Americas traveled down the Pacific coast instead of an inland path. Davis said, “The Columbia River would provide the first Americans their first route to interior lands south of the continental ice sheets.”The researchers noted details of some of the sharp objects that would have been used for hunting. These artifacts appear similar to those found in northern Japan from a somewhat earlier date. Davis said, “We assume that this may signal a cultural connection between early peoples who lived around the northern Pacific Rim.” “Traditional technological ideas spread from northeastern Asia into North America at the end of the last glacial period,” he added.28. What do the “artifacts” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The migrants travelling into the North America.B. The objects found in Cooper’s Ferry on the Salmon River.C. Stone tools and animal bones from about 300,000 years ago.D. The camels living in North America during the Earth’s Ice Age.29. It can be inferred from paragraphs 5-7 that _______.A. migrants possibly traveled deep into North America through the ColumbiaB. North America has long been considered the source of human civilizationC. there existed no cultural links between early peoples around the worldD. experts have agreed on when humans first entered the Americas30. What is the best title for the text?A. The Artifacts Recovered from an Archaeological Site in AfricaB. The Spreading of Ancient Technology between Early SettlersC. The Benefits of Radiocarbon Dating MethodsD. The First Human Migration into the AmericasII. Gap fillings.Studies show that people who are happy – truly happy – have deep connections with those around them. __31__ They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others.Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop, create experiences in our lives. Some experiences will be poor, but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences – experiences that allow us to just be. Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences, we allow ourselves time to relax, to build connections, and to become our best selves. __32__If we want to create meaningful experiences, we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives. Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others, we should experience beSHOPs, which means we learn by being, by observing, and by becoming.__33__ It helps define us and motivates us to do good, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to be better. A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include:●Compassion (同情): Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response. __34__When you are compassionate, you don’t have to think twice about helping others.●Gratitude: Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude, and build strongconnections. You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are.●Willingness to learn: __35__ Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a stepoutside of their comfort zones. When we have that desire to learn, to explore, and our curiosity is continually peaked, then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences.Remember, true happiness, and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures. It is about being.A. There is so much in the world around us.B. “To be” requires key values that shape us.C. It means service, kindness, and love for others.D. Within the communities, you can work on developing these values.E. Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life.F. Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness.G. They value their relationships with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers.III.

He’s a damn good frog.” Being young, I didn’t think of the meaning __46__ what she was saying.But a few years later, I understand the __47__ of my mom’s words. You can’t expect everything to be __48__. Let’s be completely honest; if you __49__ your whole life for your prince with flowing hair, attractive __50__, and a white horse, you’re going to be lonely. I think that the __51__ of finding a good frog is that you __52__ something that’s great, imperfect and all. In life, we can’t afford to wait years for perfection __53__. So I think that the best frog you can find is what we’re really looking for in this world. Don’t laze through life waiting to live __54__ ever after, because I don’t think you’ll be very happy with the __55__.This I believe.36. A. debates B. conversations C. memories D. comments37.

Every year, students across the U.K.engage in the annual ritual (仪式) of telling college and university admissions officers why they deserve a seat at the school of their choice.However, this task is filled with anxiety and fear.___11___ This, of course, leads many to ask the question: How should I write an essay about myself for college? Here are tips to keep in mind.___12___ For example, if all your friends are writing application essays about covid-19, that may be a good reason why you should avoid it.Unless, of course, you’ve had a vivid, life-changing experience that you are burning to share.Admissions counselors say that the best essays help them learn something about the candidate that they would never know from reading the rest of the application.Keep your individuality in the spotlight.___13___ What sets you apart from others?

AWhen I reached inside the floorboard, my hand touched what felt like a book. I pulled it out. It was an old and small book: Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations. I wondered whom the quotations (引语) were supposed to be familiar to. What I did know, thanks to Ms. Rattray, my seventh-grade teacher, was the correct way to use quotation marks. I decided to see what was inside this little book.On the top corners of each page was a word or phrase, I opened it to “comfort and despair” and then “doubt” and “light”. I’d never thought about “l ight” any other way except as a lamp or daylight. It turned out that Mr Bartlett didn’t feel all these emotions himself. He had gathered up quotations from thousands of other people.I was relieved to discover that those people were not afraid to express what they thought, including the fears and that they had so many thoughts about things that troubled me. Before this, I was lonely and I didn’t know whom talk to about the world and my role in it.In ninth grade, I worked as an assistant at our local library. I often hid in the comer, where no one would see me, and I would read. It was at this library that I realized how some of those emotions I’d felt while reading Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations came to life in the characters I had started discovering in novels.I have bought a few of the newer editions, but the original one is the one that helped me explore my inner self and see more than young mind and heart were able to understand.21.How might the author feel when he found the book by chance?A. Curious.B. Familiar.C. Thankful.D. Puzzled22. What does Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations mainly include?A. Bartlett’s real personal feelings.B. Thoughts of thousands of people.C. Emotional stories of other people.D. A representative word collection.23. What do we know about the author in ninth grade?A. He found time to read Bartlett’s books again.B. He volunteered to work as a school librarian.C. He vividly understood the characters’ feelings.D. He learned to analyze Bartlet t’s life in depth.BWhen you look in the mirror, you see yourself. That puts you in the company of animals like dolphins, elephants and chimpanzees. The mirror test is often used as a way of measuring whether animals have self-awareness. And an animal that is aware of itself has a high level of intelligence. Now, a species of fish — the cleaner wrasse — has also spotted its reflection.Alex Jordan, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, is one of the researchers of the study on cleaner wrasse consciousness. He and his team conducted many tests that show the fish does seem to recognize its reflection — when the researchers added a colored mark to its body, the fish would even try to remove the mark upon catching sight of it in the mirror. It seems to indicate the clever fish species has some sense of self or individuality.But Jordan said, “I’m the last to say that the cleaner wrasse is as smart as chimpanzees.” Instead, he believes that the measure scientists have used for nearly 50 years is imperfect.One problem with the test, for example, is that it uses vision to measure self-awareness. Yet not all animals rely on sight to recognize themselves. It may well be that a bat, for example, which depends on sonar (声波定位) to get around, is self-conscious. Elephants, while able to pass the mirror test, rely more heavily on smell than on sight.Consciousness in humans or animals is not easy to measure or understand. Philosophers and scientists have long wrestled with the questions of how a sense of self is assessed, and how it relates to physical processes. Jordan believes the cleaner wrasse is self-cognizant (自我知晓的), but not the same extent (程度) as a human. This means scientists need to reconsider whether some concepts centered on humans can be used in understanding animals.24.The study on the cleaner wrasse made Alex Jordan .A. doubt whether the mirror test is reliableB. discover the secret about the fish’s sightC. develop a better method to replace the mirror testD. believe the cleaner wrasse is as smart as chimpanzees25. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “wrestled with” ?A. Presented with.B. Ended with.C. Agreed with.D. Struggled with.26. What can we learn from the text?A. It is relatively easy to test animals, consciousness.B. Some concepts for humans can’t be applied to animals.C. Animals rely on at least two senses to get to know themselves.D. More mirror tests are needed to prove the cleaner wrasse is self-aware.CImagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes’ walk. The problem is that there’s a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend’s home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves.Instead, you have a video conversation with your friend, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You’ve lost out on exercise and time outside, interacting with your neighborhood and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today — but it doesn’t have to be this way.Tim Gill, the author of Urban Children: Growing Up in a Risky Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows “everyday freedom”, so children can spread their wings as they grow. “It’s not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places they have to be taken to by adults,”says Gill.“Society’s mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy —rather than the environment, health and quality of life,” argues Gill, “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It’s because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.”Tim Gill lists five challenges for urban children in his book: traffic and pollution, high-rise living, crime and social fears, inadequate and unequal access to the city.Designing cities with young people in mind — particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction — stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050, around 70 percent of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.27. Why does the author make an assumption in the first paragraph?A. To show his doubts.B. To give an example.C. To present the issue.D. To express his opinion.28. What problem does the author want to raise about urban children?A. They have few friends.B. They spend much time on videos.C. They are unhealthy for lack of exercise.D. They lose “freedom” because of the risky society.29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Low quality of life.B. Lack of public spaces.C. Improper city planning.D. Criticism on city planners.30. What would be the best title for the text?A. Paying attention to young childrenB. The call for a child-friendly cityC. Challenges for urban childrenD. Problems in modern cities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人空白处的最佳选项。

Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977 scientists studied works of art made at various times in history. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. But what do Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein have in common? They were all left-handed along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world's population may be left-handed.Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations(职业), including professional baseball players, architects, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others have not been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9. 5-percent chance of having a left-handed child, while two left-handed parents have a 26-percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed.Whatever the reasons b ehind it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people are left-handed, only six percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they beganusing their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now selling products for left-handed people, such as left-handed can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera.第二节概要写作(满分25分)While most of the world’s population is right-handed, a minority are left-handed. (要点1 ) Many researchers claim left handedness has something to do with physical and mentalfeatures and professions, but these assumptions lack solid evidence. (要点2) Thus, some think left-handedness is genetic while others attribute it to mild brain injury during birth. （要点3) Anyway, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot with the whole society accepting lefties more than before.(要点4) 68词2.浙江省台州市2020届高三11月选考科目教学质量评估第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Steve被当地一所孔子学院录取，即将入学，不知道如何作学业方面的准备。

delighted to introduce two of the most symbolic colors in China.Without doubt,the first one is red,a symbol of joy and celebration.Therefore,it is traditional for Chinese brides to wear a red wedding dress.In addition,white is conventionally associated with sadness,usually seen at the funerals.However,as time changes,white can also signify purity.That's why many brides wear white in their wedding ceremonies,as is often the case in your country.Hopefully my introduction to colors in China is of great value for your essay.Wish you all the best.Yours,Li Hua 第二节(满分25分)My face pressed against the window and I found it hard to breathe.The car pulled in front of the house,and out of it emerged my precious daughter,making her way up the steps.Tears stinging(使刺痛）my eyes,I threw open the door,pulled her inside and hugged her tightly.The dream was just too real and I could hardly believe I was now having my daughter in my hug.I wondered if it was because my pray was answered.Then through my blurred vision(模糊的视野）I saw a lady stepping out of the car.“Mom,she gave me a ride home."Becki said.“My car broke down on the highway and without her help,I would never have made it home in my high heels."she continued, exposing her blistered(起泡的）ankles.My heart shuddered(一想起就怕/担心/难受）at the thought of how painfully Becki staggered(踉跄）along the dark highway.She must be an angel for Becki!I approached the lady and invited her inside.Now,I was definitely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.听力原文Text1M:I’m going swimming in the lake on Sunday.Do you want to come?W:Isn’t it going to be cloudy?M:That doesn’t matter because it will be25degrees.W:OK.I went swimming last Saturday when it was raining.It was funnier than swimming on a sunny day!Text2M:Emma!What are you doing outside?Aren’t you enjoying the party?W:Parties aren’t really my thing.I’ll head home soon.M:I will go back too.I’ve got a meeting tomorrow morning.Text3M:Hello,Maria.W:Hi,Mike.Are you having your breakfast?M:No.I’m helping my dad move the furniture in my bedroom.Then we’re going to paint the walls.W:OK.I’ll send you a text later.Have fun painting.Text4M:Do you want to go to the concert this evening?W:Yeah.We could go and eat something first.M:All right.Why don’t I wait for you outside the bookstore at about six?W:OK.I’ll meet you there when I finish work.Then we can look for a cafébefore the concert.Text5W:That’s the first film I’ve seen with an interval.It was hard to work out what was happening and the break even made me forget the actors’names.M:Indeed.They kept playing the same song,but it added to the atmosphere.Text6W:How did your appointment go?M:Yeah,fine.They didn’t need to do anything.W:Great!So your eyes are all OK then?M:The sight test is next week,actually,Mum.I was having my teeth checked today.W:Oh,yes.Your dad made the appointments this time,so I couldn’t remember who you wereseeing first.He should be back from the doctor’s any minute.M:So are you making the

boring.In fact,I’m not really interested in sports programs.W:But you love sports.You play football and tennis and basketball and…M:Yes,I enjoy playing sports,but I hate watching them on TV.W:Oh,so what kind of TV programs do you like?M:To be honest,I don’t watch much TV.I prefer watching movies on my notebook computer.Text8W:What do you think of the airport?M:Well,it’s far from downtown and when the traffic is bad,it can take an hour and a half to get there.The city really needs to build a new airport that is closer to the city.W:Do you usually drive to the airport?M:No.I usually take the airport bus.It’s clean and comfortable,and it’s a lot cheaper than driving because you don’t have to pay for parking.But my wife prefers taking the subway.W:Is there much to do there while you wait for your flight?M:Sure.There are a couple of stores that sell souvenirs and magazines.There are also a couple of fast-food places and the service there is nice.W:How long does it take to check in?M:It doesn’t take long.They’re pretty efficient.Text9W:Hey Jack,can I ask you something?M:Sure,what’s up?W:Is something wrong with the system?I’ve been trying to get in for the past10minutes but it’s been kicking me out.M:It’s all fine for me.What do you mean,“kicking you out”?W:I’m putting in my password and it tells me the system’s offline.I’ve tried every single combination I can think of but nothing works.M:That’s strange.My computer’s been fine.Have you tried calling IT?W:I did,but no one picked up the phone.M:Oh,right,they’ve got a meeting right now—but you can interrupt them if it’s an emergency. W:I know.I just didn’t want to disturb others if it’s something simple.Besides,I’ve got a couple of phone calls to make today so I can make them now while I wait.M:They’d better be long phone calls,then.From what Tom told me,their meeting’s going to last three hours.W:Three hours!What sort of meeting is this?M:It’s that planning meeting about the factory they mentioned,isn’t it?Yeah,you’d better go and interrupt them.They’re going to be in there all day.Text10M:Selling your things online helps you get rid of those you don’t need,and it can also be a greatsource of income.One thing you need to consider carefully is the platform on which you are going to advertise. Most big platforms in the field are so popular with sellers,not just because they can give you access to a bigger pool of potential customers,but also because they offer insurance,both to the seller and the buyer.The disadvantage,however,is that you will need to pay some money for using the platform. You can use some platforms that either charge a smaller fee for advertising or even no fee at all—but,in that case,what you will need to keep in mind is your safety,especially if the value of the product you’re selling is high.It’s always best to meet the buyer during the day at a public place such as a coffee shop,a library,or a supermarket parking lot—anywhere monitored by security cameras is good.A few more things to keep in mind:always be accurate with your descriptions of the things you are selling.The last thing you want is to be accused of cheating and banned from the website. Moreover,be careful with your personal information:do not give out your full name and don’t give out your home address or cell phone number unless you have to,and have a separate e-mail address for selling online.Remember that a smart,prepared seller is a happy seller.。

2020年浙江省高考英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）(2021·广东省东莞市·单元测试)AI am an active playgoer and play-reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this book isa hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others．To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play．Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright（剧作家）hopes to get across through dialogue and action．A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme．It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection，for that would，indeed，ruin the pleasure of reading，discussing，and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright．However，a variety of types is represented here．These include comedy，satire，poignant drama，historical and regional drama．To show the versatility（多面性）of the short play，I have included a guidance play，a radio play and a television play．Among the writers of the plays in this collection，Paul Green，Susan Glaspell，Maxwell Anderson，Thornton Wilder，William Saroyan，and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater．More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book．To get the most out of reading these plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，the reader，in the audience．The houselights dim（变暗）．The curtains are about to open，and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story．1.What do we know about the author from the first paragraphA. He has written dozens of plays．B. He has a deep love for the theater．C. He is a professional stage actor．D. He likes reading short plays to others．2.What does the author avoid doing in his work？A. Stating the playsˈ central ideas．B. Selecting works by famous playwrights．C. Including various types of plays．D. Offering information on the playwrights．3.What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays？A. Control their feelings．B. Apply their acting skills．C. Use their imagination．D. Keep their audience in mind．4.What is this textA. A short story．B. An introduction to a book．C. A play review．D. An advertisement for a theater．(2021·广东省东莞市·单元测试)BThe traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue，Washington，generally donˈt flash the same length of green twice in a row，especially at rush hour．At 9：30am，the fullred/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds．By 9：33am，a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds．Less traffic at 9：37am could push it down to 135．Just like the traffic itself，the timing of the signals changes．That is by design．Bellevue，a fast-growing city just east of Seattle，uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US：intersection（十字路口）signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions．These lights，known as adaptive signals，have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home．"Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed，" says Alex Stevanovic，a researcher at Florida Atlantic University．For all of Bellevueˈs success，adaptive signals are not a cure﹣all for jammed roadways．Kevin Balke，a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute，says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities，others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningfuldifference．"Itˈs not going to fix everything，but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities，" he says．In Bellevue，the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches．In the past，there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic：just widen the roads，says Mark Poch，the Bellevue Transportation Departmentˈs traffic engineering manager．Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger．5.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to？A. Increased length of green lights．B. Shortened traffic signal cycle．C. Flexible timing of traffic signals．D. Smooth traffic flow on the road．6.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signalsA. They work better on broad roads．B. They should be used in other cities．C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road．D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed．7.What can we learn from Bellevueˈs success？A. It is rewarding to try new things．B. The old methods still work today．C. It pays to put theory into practice．D. The simplest way is the best way．(2020·北京市·单元测试)CChallenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking，planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age，a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests．Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1，000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteersˈ memory and thinking skillsthrough a battery of tests．Then，for eight years，the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests．Those who had held mentally stimulating（刺激），demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests．And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs．The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participantsˈ overall health status．"This works just like physical exercise，" says Francisca Then，who led the study．"After a long run，you may feel like youˈre in pain，you may feel tired．But it makes you fit．After a long day at work—sure，you will feel tired，but it can help your brain stay healthy．"Itˈs not just corporate jobs，or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit．Then points out．A waiterˈs job，for example，that requires multitasking，teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work．And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调），" she says．"You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries．"Of course，our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons—including other environmental influences or genetic factors．Still，continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help．8.Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests？A. To assess their health status．B. To evaluate their work habits．C. To analyze their personality．D. To measure their mental ability．9.How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4A.
