阅读表达(2021·湖南卷·阅读简答)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to information given in the passage.A wise teacher once told me t hat every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift(轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: “Mike, there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one.” I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I alsolearned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaur ant with me as I go forward in my life.81. Why did the author apply everywhere that summer? (No more than 12 words) (2 marks)He wanted to save up money and buy his own car.82. What did the manager particularly expect the workers to do? (No more than 14 words) (3 marks)The manager particula rly expected them to offer fast service with a friendly smile.83. Why does the author still work at the restaurant during vacations? (No more than 13 words) (2 marks)He loves his co-workers and all the customers know who he is.84. What did the author learn from his first job?(No more than 11 words) (3 marks)He learned teamwork, devotion and staying positive in rough situations.81.【解析】由第二段中的第二句话I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, soI applied everywhere I could that summer.可知答案。

Go to M Street building in person.D. Book them in advance at ngtickets@ ngs. org.BThe summer before my 10th birthday my father moved our family of nine kids to a farm. We had always lived in a small city,in the house my dad had gotten from my grandparents» who had wanted fresh air, green food and lots of room for their children but failed. My father held the same will. He'd worked multiple jobs and saved for many years... and could finally afford a place in the countryside. Now a minor concern:the house had no running water or electricity. But there were 150 acres to run around in!That first year my dad put in electricity, because my mom simply announced, "I won't have oil lamps with children running around!" Indoor plumbing (管道系统)had to wait another year. Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if he'd take their large dogs who couldn't run free in the city. So we all now played with a big orange- brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we named Billy and Molly.Minimalism was our goal, and also our only choice. Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs. Bananas and oranges were rare "imported" fruit we'd seen at holidays. We felt we were younger than peers (同龄人)--- there was ONE birthday party a year! We'd take turns... once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!While money was so scarce, we had joy to hand all the time. My mother was always singing, yelling, or hugging. And she told us we owned plenty! To this day, each of us remembers those years as an abundance of things, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together! Every challenge was a game to defeat, and any failure was a chance to learn there.4. Why did the author's father move their family to a farm?A. To carry out the wish of his parents.B. To start a brand new life in a luxury house.C. To improve the children's living environment.D. To get rid of the heavy workload in the city.5. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. There was no electricity in their rooms.B. Two dogs became part of the author's life.C. The author's mother had a sharp tongue.D. Their rural life became the envy of friends.6. What is the author's tone in paragraph 3?A. Hopeful.B. Upset.C. Amazed.D. Amusing.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “scarce" in the last paragraph?A, Practical. B. Accurate. C. Tight. D. Essential.CThink of the many different ways you enjoy fish or other seafood :steaming fish ball soup» grilled salmon, boiled shrimp and more. Now think about not having this delicious food because of no more fish and seafood. You would likely miss them a lot, and not just you. Nearly half of the world's population relies on seafood as a major source of protein.Harvesting fish and other sea life isn't bad for the ocean, but harvesting it faster than it can recover is. This is called overfishing, and the number of overfished wild stocks has tripled in the past 50 years. Overfishing affects not only a food source but many economies. Many businesses and jobs depend on fishing for their livelihoods. When fish stocks shrink, people lose their means of supporting themselves and their families. Worldwide, fishing is a US $ 362 billion business. Over 4 million fishing boats sail the waters of the world. Many boats are becoming increasingly efficient, which increases overfishing.According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN,one third of the world's fisheries are being pushed beyond their natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (误捕的鱼).This means unwanted sea life is captured along with the desired catch and is thrown away. Thus, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost.The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood producers for over 20 years. They have developed standards promoting sustainable fishing. When fisheries meet MSC's standards, the oceans and those who make a living from them are protected. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working to increase that percentage.What can you do? Look for MSC's blue fish label, which appears on over 30, 000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you're supporting a fishery that is contributing to healthier oceans.8. Which of the following opinions will the author favor?A. We need to develop more fish recipes.B. Many people consider seafood as nutritious.C. You can never eat fish and other seafood too much.D. It's great to treat your friends to tasty seafood.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Many people live by fishing.B. Overfishing isn't always bad for the ocean.C. Fishing economies are picking up soon.D. Many boats have no fish to catch.10. What measure has been taken concerning overfishing?A. Bycatch is thrown back.B. More investment is put in fisheries.C. All the countries are called on to conserve the ocean.D. Some requirements for green fishing are made.11. What's the author's suggestion for readers?A. Buying the seafood with MSC's certification.B. Looking for MSC's blue fish label worldwide.C. Making contributions to fishing in eco-friendly environment.D. Predicting about the oceans and the fish for years to come.DOne of my favorite studies asked one group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students wa s asked to write about their "everyday self” and a third group of students was asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning in life.The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays, their assumption being that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地)connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday self or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of purpose in life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay, the more the person experienced meaning in life.To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wisecracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in one's life comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who is connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are can you start to authentically connect with others.So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that true self more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The process of a study.B. The meaning in life.C. Three groups of students.D. Writing tasks to evaluate life.13. What's the finding of the researchers?A. Everyday self has connection with the campus bookstore.B. More various essays interpret life meaning better.C. The participants with detailed essays live meaningfully.D. More true self description makes one experience life meaning better.14, What can make you genuinely connect with others?A. Following values and dreams set by others.B. Communicating with your true self.C. Changing "everyday self" into "true self".D. Being able to contribute to society.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Connect with Life - Dream Is ValuedB. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?C. Be Yourself —Everyone Else Is TakenD. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?1-5 DCACB 6-10 DCBAD 11-15 AADBC第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
