ATRA VEL ADVISORYHere are a few things you should know before you take off on your next trip.Frontier Airlines Face Covering RequirementAs required by federal law, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Order and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Directive, all passengers and employees must wear a face covering over nose and mouth throughout the Frontier travel experience including at ticket counters, gate areas, baggage claim and onboard all flights.

With demand for bicycles rocketing, and nations preparing to spend billions of dollars to redesign their cities with a new focus on cycling and walking, it's worth remembering how the invention of the bicycle in the late 19th century transformed societies the world over. It was a hugely revolutionary technology, easily equal to the smartphone today. For a few heady years in the 1890s, the bicycle was the best must-have—swift, affordable, stylish transportation that could take you anywhere you cared to go, anytime you liked, for free.Almost anyone could learn to ride, and almost everyone did. The sultan of Zanzibar (a former Muslim country) took up cycling. So did the king of Russia. But it was the middle and working classes around the globe that truly made the bicycle their own. For the first time in history, the masses were mobile, able to come and go as they pleased. No more need for expensive horses and carriages.Society was transformed. Women were especially enthusiastic, abandoning their burdensome Victorian skirts, adopting reasonable clothes, and taking to the road in groups. “I think bicycling has done more to liberate women than anything else in the world,” Susan B. Anthony, the American champion of women’s suffrage said in an interview with The New York Sunday World in 1896. “I stand and feel thrilled every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of unrestricted womanhood.”By 1898 cycling had become such a popular activity in the United States that The New York Journal of Commerce claimed it was costing restaurants and theaters more than $ 100 million a year in lost business. Bicyclemanufacturing became one of America's biggest and most advanced industries. A third of all patent applications were bicycle-related—so many that the US patent office had to build a separate building to deal with them all.The arrival of the bicycle touched virtually every aspect of life—art, music, literature, fashion, and even the human gene pool. English songwriter Henry Dacre scored a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1892 with Daisy Bell and its famous refrain A Bicycle Built for Two.24.Why did the author consider the bicycle as a revolutionary technology?A.It cost its owner too much money.B. It harmed the cyclists' health at first.C. It had a huge influence on the society.D. It made people redesign their city buildings.25. What did Susan think of women cycling?A. It changed public morals.B. It offered women more freedom.C. It made women more united.D. It made Victorian skirts more popular.26. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Bicycle-related patent applications.B. Interviews with cyclists.C. Bicycle management charges.D. Broken restaurants and theaters.27. What section of a newspaper can the text be taken from?A. Business and economy.B. Environment and energy.C. Entertainment and sports.D. History and culture.CWhen memory began for me, my grandfather (“Gramp”) was past sixty. The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never reduced his humor or his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, Gramp made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said: “Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.” Then he drove away with his horses. The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.“How many potatoes did you pick up?” Gramp inquired. “I didn’t pick any.” “Not any! Why?” “You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You d idn’t say I had to.” In the next few minutes, I learned a lesson I will not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.My grandmother (“Gram”) worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years, Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way, she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful pattern on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds –– all that was beautiful around her –– pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, “See how beautiful this is!”In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, managed to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.28.Which of the following is TRUE about Gramp according to the passage?A. He wouldn’t listen to others.B. He was difficult to get along with.C. He gave his suggestions in the form of orders.D. He was eager to learn.29. According to the author, “softer qualities” DON’T include the ability ________.A. to earn a living.B. to find beauty in everyday life.C. to stay curious about new things.D. to stay positive in a world of daily struggle.30. In the days of the writer’s grandparents ________.A. “softer qualities” were thought necessary but often ignored.B. “harder qualities” were much harder to keep than “softer qualities”.C. average people found it a piece of cake to earn a living.D. not all people understood how to appreciate beauty in life.31. What’s the most suitable title for the passage?A. Life of My Grandparents.B. Harder Qualities VS Softer Qualities.C. Stay Soft in a Hard World.D. An Unforgettable Person.DThere is evidence that just counting money can produce valuable psychological benefits. According to a new study published in the journal Psychological Science, thumbing through your cash can reduce emotional and physical pain as well as increase feelings of internal strength, fearlessness and confidence.Focusing on the symbolic power of money, researchers started with a simple hypothesis: reminders of money can alter how people experience social interactions — especially social acceptance and rejection.To test the idea, the researchers took the following approach: 84 students at a Chinese university were divided into two groups. One group counted 80 large-denomination bills: the other group parceled out 80 pieces of plain paper. All participants then played an online video game in which, using game controls, they could throw a ball and play catch with other Internet players. But the game was rigged so that after 10 throws, half the students would no longer get the ball thrown to them, while the rest of the students continued to play catch. When the game ended, participants who had been excluded from the second round of catch rated their level of social distress and how strong they felt. Those who had counted money before being socially excluded reported lower levels of social distress than those who had counted only paper. Additionally, the participants who had counted money also reported greater feelings of inner strength and self-sufficiency.To see if counting money also reduces physical pain, the researchers repeated the earlier social-exclusion test, but this time they replaced the ball game with a pain-sensitivity task, in which half the participants were put in a moderate-pain condition (their hands were put in warm water), while the other half were subjected to a high-pain condition (hands were put in very hot water). Again, those who had counted money reported lower levels of pain.To complete their study, the researchers conducted additional experiments. They also found that reminder of having spent money aggravated feelings of social distress and that both social rejection and ideas of physical discomfort fueled participants’ desire for money as well as made them less generous.32. According to the text, which of the following behaviors can bring psychological benefits?A. Throwing coins.B. Making money.C. Counting money.D. Checking the bank account.33. Which participants reported lower levels of pain?A. Those who counted 80 large-denomination bills.B. Those who counted 80 pieces of plain paper..C. Those whose hands were put in warm water.D. Those whose hands were put in very hot water. 34. What action can cause psychological and physical distress? A. Playing ball games. B. Counting plain paper. C. Putting hands in water. D. Thinking of recent spending. 35. Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph? A. reduced B. irritated C. worsened D. annoyed 21-23 CDB 24-27 C B A D 28-31 D A D C 32-35 C A D C 江苏省泰州中学2020-2021学年高二英语下学期5月月考试题第一节（共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Brighton is one of the most original and creative cities in England, and, unsurprisingly, it is one of the most popular destinations for a weekend break. With its famous nightlife, wide range of restaurants and diverse shops in the lanes, Brighton has everything. Knowing where to go and what hotels are available can be vital to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one.Brighton Beach is perhaps what Brighton is most famous for and probably the first place to visit. Unsurprisingly, there are a wide range of hotels all along the seafront, but with their sea views and prime location, the prices there are higher. For slightly cheaper options you simply have to venture a little further along the seafront. There are a number of slightly smaller and cheaper hotels towards Kemptown.In Brighton you can’t miss visiting North Lane and South Lane, with many clothes shops in North Lane, and a number of jewelry shops in South Lane. Both have many places to sit down and have a drink. It is a unique shopping and dining experience.The city is small and the most attractions are within walking distance of one another, and for those that aren’t, there are a number of bus companies running reliable services in the city. Even the farthest hotelsaround Kemptown are within 25 minutes’ walk of the beach, so wherever you stay, you are going to be able to visit all of the attractions.答案详解阅读理解A21.
