The other children laughed at her for the way she spoke, and she struggled to feel like she fit in.Sofia was fitted a bulb (咽球) that fit inside her mouth to help her form accurate sounds. While Sofia began to make great progress in speaking clearly, she still felt embarrassed around her classmates.During school lunches, she didn’t want any of them to see her remove her bulb in order that she could eat. She would slip into the bathroom before the meal to remove it, and then remain silent throughout lunch while her classmates chatted and laughed all around her. The process made her feel lonely even when she was surrounded by others.When she was 15, Sofia learned that Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, would sponsor local professionals at nearby Notti Hospital to perform the operation she had waited so long for. She was overjoyed at the prospect of removing her bulb for good and living a confident life.Now, Sofia no longer requires a bulb! The operation and ensuing treatments Smile Train sponsored also resulted in permanent speech improvements that made an immediate positive impact on the teenager’s daily life.After Sofia shared a few verses of her favorite song in a Smile Train video, something truly remarkable happened. Sebastian Yatra, the Colombian singer and songwriter who wrote the hit, saw the video and recorded a special message just for her! Sofia was so excited by Sebastian’s message and by the incredible effect her own voice made!Smile Train has helped more than 1.5 million children like Sofia, and it continues to let smiles heal families all over the world.4．What does the underlined part “expressing herself vocally” mean in paragraph 2?A．Screaming hard.B．Speaking weakly.C．Talking actively.D．Pronouncingproperly.5．Which one was a challenge for Sofia with a bulb?A．Chatting freely.B．Looking natural.C．Eating things.D．Opening her mouth. 6．What was the outcome of Sofia sharing her singing in a Smile Train video?A．She became a professional singer.B．She gained widespread recognition on social media.C．She was offered a scholarship to a music academy.D．She received a special message from a famous singer.7．What can be inferred about the impact of Smile Train’s assistance on children like Sofia?A．It has a lasting and huge effect on their lives.B．It offers a one-time solution to their physical challenges.C．It provides a momentary improvement for their confidence.D．It is limited and does not address their emotional needs.According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), six red wolf pups (幼崽) were found in North Carolina’s Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge last week. That’s great news for endangered red wolves, and marks the first time these pups have been born in the wild since 2020.Long ago, red wolves lived all through the US Southeast. But as the wolves were hunted, and as more and more land was taken over for cities, roads and farms, the wolves began to die out.In 1973, a new law called the Endangered Species Act was passed, which was designed to protect animals that were in danger of dying out, like red wolves. At the time, there were only about 17 red wolves remaining in the wild.14 of those wolves were caught and fed by researchers to protect them. Then, the FWS conducted a program called the Red Wolf Recovery Program. But by 1980, red wolves were believed to have been extinct in the wild.Luckily, the wolves did well under people’s care, and their numbers continued to grow. Soon the FWS began releasing red wolves back into the wild. Those wolves with tracking collarsspread out, paired up, and began to have pups. By 2012, red wolf numbers had hit a new high point of about 120 wolves in the wild. The program’s success led to many other programs aimed at bringing animals back from the edge of extinction.Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again. Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars. As the number of adults fell. the number of pups being born also began to drop. In 2020, a total of four pups were born in the wild. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, no wild pups were born at all.So the news that six pups hatched in the wild this year is a huge boost. But the good news isn’t an accident.8．How did the FWS protect red wolves?A．It made a new law to protect them.B．It kept them in the wild.C．It moved them into a new habitat.D．It carried out a recovery program.9．What is partly responsible for the reduced number of red wolves in recent years? ?A．The lack of food B．The worsened weather.C．The illegal hunting.D．The loss of forests.10．What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A．The accidents that happened this year.B．The effort the FWS has made.C．The wishes from the researchers.D．The health condition of the pups. 11．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Endangered Species Act Taking Effect B．Red Wolf Pups Decreasing in the USC．Endangered Red Wolf Pups Born in the Wild D．Future Faced by Endangered RedWolvesPoppins is a new Netflix-like streaming service designed to support children with autism (自闭症). Autism influences the development of the brain and leads to various challenges in social communication, as well as people’s behavior and interests. “Many autistic children are visual (视觉的) learners, meaning they get information better through visual information. Therefore, we’ve made special TV shows and videos,” said Gilad Piker, the founder of Poppins. With the use of visual technology, Poppins mixes special programs with special users’ experiences.“It all started with my nephew when he was 15,” explained Gilad Piker. “He began to sufferfrom autism at the age of 5.” Piker noticed the boy watched cartoons and simple kids’ movies for hours, but what excited him even more were the opening logos and rolling credits (滚动字幕) at the end of a show. “When he saw them, he would stand in front of the screen. Maybe he thought it was the most exciting film he’d ever seen!” Piker added.Poppins’ specially designed TV shows and videos can offer chances for autistic children to learn social skills, such as turn-taking, sharing, and proper behavior in various situations. Autistic children are likely to find comfort and relaxation during the watching experience. Some programs also enable them to learn new words, sentences, and storytelling skills, supporting their language development and communication abilities.Proper selection and parental guidance are important when parents add TV shows and videos to an autistic child’s daily schedule. Each child is unique and interest is the best teacher, so parents should think wisely and choose suitable programs when determining the benefits of screen time.“Through Poppins, autistic children can now watch educational and entertainment programs that can meet their special needs and interests,” Piker said. “Seeing those children enjoy watching the programs provided by Poppins is an amazing experience. It reminds me of the power of technology to change lives.”12．Why are Poppins’ special programs carried out?A．To meet the learning needs of autistic children.B．To help autistic children learn new technologies.C．To recommend interesting TV programs to the public.D．To teach children how to make friends.13．What did Gilad Piker realize from his nephew’s experience?A．Autistic children’s ability to stay focused.B．Autistic children’s interest in special visual information.C．The common behavior problem of autistic children.D．The importance of spending quality time with autistic children.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The ideas for the design of Poppins.B．How Poppins’ programs benefit autistic children’s growth.C．How educators can help improve children’s social skills.D．The ways to encourage autistic children to use Poppins.15．What are parents advised to do when choosing visual materials for children?A．Consider children’s preferences and interests.B．Seek guidance from experts andteachers.C．Be familiar with children’s daily schedule.D．Think about the time spent on screen.In a picture book, pictures, rather than words, tell the story. It’s true that a wordless picture book lacks words for the story. But it follows all the basic requirements of a book. 16 In addition, it possesses a unique identity that is driven by an artist’s vision, which opens up windows to boundless imagination.17 The unique reality is experienced when readers interact with the pictures. The process of reading picture books is a curious interaction between the author and the readers. The readers bring their own imagination and experiences to interpret a space suggested by the author.By opening the pages of such a book, children fall into a story that requires them to provide context and clues from pictures to move the story forward. 18 So, for children who enjoy art, wordless picture books offer them the opportunity to exercise their imagination.The format also allows children to expand their critical thinking skills and creativity. Since every wordless picture book has a structure and a plot, children have to use skills such as prediction and drawing conclusions based on experiences to make sense of the story. Since there are no words, children can feel free to make up the story as they like. 19This is the essence of wordless picture books-they can become anything you want. They give a child the confidence to feel that if you can imagine it, it can exist. 20A．They can even change the ending, if they wish.B．They are attracted to the design and the colors.C．It, in turn, excites and builds up their imagination.D．For example, it has a plot, character development and so on.E．A wordless picture book takes readers into a new level of reality.F．This confidence brings out human creation, from artworks to scientific discoveries. G．Parents and their children can share their feelings by reading these books together.二、完形填空Sometimes, good news appears in small amounts in life. By holding onto a positive secret, even 21 . you can heighten its inspiring power for all parties involved.Last year, a famous shoe company launched a new pair of sneakers (运动鞋). My daughter, a sneaker-head, was 22 to acquire a pair on the release day. However, it’s widely known that these highly sought-after items would 23 rapidly. So, without disclosing my 24 ,I downloaded the company’s app and entered the draw (抽奖). While my daughter’s attempt failed,25 favored me and I won a pair in her size.Wrapping up this hard-to-get present filled me with 26 for the “big reveal (揭露)” on my daughter’s birthday. Also, 27 this secret over the course of several weeks continually brought me joy. Finally, judging from my daughter’s 28 shouts when she tore oft the wrapping paper, I could 29 that she was extremely amazed by the unexpected gift. Meanwhile, her 30 made me glad that my decision had been the right one.People occasionally go to great lengths to 31 a positive surprise in secret. This kind of surprise can be greatly enjoyable, 32 surprise is often a brief emotion. However, what truly matters is that you are given the chance to 33 the joyful surprise on another person’s face. It enables you to 34 this moment, even if only in your own minds. In a world full of uncertainty. promoting positive emotions through keeping a delightful secret can truly 35 your day.21．A．uniquely B．possibly C．unwillingly D．briefly 22．A．proud B．satisfied C．determined D．surprised 23．A．sell out B．break down C．pass down D．turn up 24．A．awareness B．intention C．request D．inspiration 25．A．fortune B．recognition C．aid D．courage 26．A．pity B．eagerness C．thankfulness D．respect 27．A．discussing B．seeking C．maintaining D．unfolding 28．A．ashamed B．uncontrollable C．patient D．embarrassing 29．A．remind B．ignore C．tell D．illustrate30．A．reaction B．instruction C．approach D．contribution 31．A．promise B．replace C．remember D．arrange 32．A．so B．or C．because D．yet 33．A．admire B．introduce C．accept D．forget 34．A．prevent B．lengthen C．judge D．choose 35．A．challenge B．prove C．check D．make三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2022届东北三省三校（哈尔滨师范大学附属中学东北师大附中辽宁省实验中学）高三第一次联合模拟考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?Where to stayThe Khao San Road was a famous traveler spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where Bangkok people eat, work and live every day. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.How to get aroundBangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi—if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams—but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.What to doAfter you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!1．What is special about Phra Kanong?A．Its convenience for tourists.B．Its real Thai lifestyle.C．Its live snake show.D．Its appearance in a famous movie. 2．Which may be the best transport to explore the modern area of Bangkok?A．An express boat.B．A longtail boat.C．A normal taxi.D．The Skytrain.3．Where can the text be found?A．In a travel brochure.B．In a business newspaper.C．In a geography textbook.D．In a family magazine.While watching videos on Douyin one day, I discovered a very unique profile: an88-year-old farmer livestreaming (网络直播) trendy products in a rural setting. I clicked his page and saw that he was livestreaming because he needed to pay for his wife's medical expenses. Curious, I decided to contact him and learn more about his story.Now a retired farmer, Wu relies on government allowance. One rainy day, he returned to his shabby one-floor cottage in the suburb of Henan Province and found his wife lying on the ground in great pain. She had broken her leg and lost the ability to walk.A great burden befell this already disadvantaged family. The medical expenses for Wu's wife are about 800 yuan per month. Her daughter, a mother of three and a housewife, has no means of supporting Wu financially. As a heavy user on Douyin, Wu's daughter thought that perhaps they too could try livestreaming as a way to help their family. With a 9. 9 yuan phone holder, they began livestreaming on Douyin, and Wu became one of the oldest livestreamers on the platform.Every day, Wu livestreams for a total of six hours, separated into morning and afternoon sessions. With a broad smile and comforting voice, he explains the products on his table, which range from water bottles, makeup removers and vegetables to traditional Chinese clothing that Wu wears himself in front of the camera. Thousands of viewers are drawn in by his moving story and kindly personality. They refer to him affectionately as “my uncle Wu” or “Laoxiang”.During my interview with him, Wu would laugh warmly. His strong Henan dialect was sometimes hard to understand, but his tone was full of comfort and optimism.He also does not avoid showing affection for his wife, “I will buy her good food when I have the money.” I am moved by his ability to see the optimistic side of life despite being influenced by hardships and his persistence sailing through the low tides of life.4．Wu's videos are intended to _________.A．show love to his pitiful wifeB．advertise the beautiful countrysideC．make money by promoting various productsD．help the poor by drawing public attention5．What can we know about Wu's family?A．His daughter manages to offer financial assistance.B．They have got out of poverty by livestreaming.C．His daughter is a professional Douyin livestreamer.D．They have difficulty in covering the medical expenses.6．What attracts viewers to Wu's livestream?A．His rich experience on the platform.B．His amusing Henan accent.C．His good nature and touching story.D．His successful marketing techniques. 7．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．An elderly farmer livestreamer B．A kindly and helpful husbandC．A popular application D．A way to cope with povertyAndroid phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, Google announced.Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warming telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake's magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.Users won't need to download California's MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California's 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.“This announcement means that California's world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone—giving millions precious seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. IPhone users won't receive the alerts through Apple's operating system, but theycan download the MyShake app.Also, Google announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system. Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, Google said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.8．If an earthquake hits the US, who won't receive the earthquake warning?A．Android users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.B．IPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.C．IPhone users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.D．Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.9．What can we learn from the text?A．Millions of people have downloaded the MyShake app.B．The earthquake early warning system will be of great help.C．Google has already sent out earthquake alerts since last year.D．Over 2 billion devices run the Apple operating system.10．What will globalize Google's earthquake detection network?A．New technology developed by Google.B．The large number of Android phone users.C．Motion-sensing accelerometers.D．The newly developed MyShake app.11．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To share a new MyShake app.B．To promote Android phones.C．To make Google known to the world.D．To introduce a new function of Android phones.While the increase in the number of unemployed Americans has been a focus ofeconomists throughout the pandemic, another problem has been mostly overlooked: The people that do have jobs are calling out sick in record numbers.Unlike the jobless rate, which has declined noticeably, the rate of absenteeism (旷工) has remained stubbornly high. More than 1.9 million people missed work in December, according to Labor Department data. Michael Gapen, chief US economist, says although vaccinations could start driving down absenteeism, the missed work is causing supply chain problems. “Absenteeism could lead to shortages; it could lead to higher prices and more limited output,” he says.The problem is so acute that companies are lobbying local authorities to get their workers near the front of the line for vaccinations. “There are instances of having to shut down lines at various points in time in order to manage the absenteeism,” says Geoff Freeman, a chief executive officer.According to the Institute for Supply Management, factory activities increased in December, with the employment returning to a level that indicates growth. However, one complaint is that suppliers are still struggling with their own employee shortages, which is causing supply problems. “The quantity of infections and the quantity of people who are sick or having to self-quarantine (自我隔离) are just so overwhelming that everybody has to be affected by it,” Timothy Fiore, said on a Jan. 5 call with reporters.For office workers, 90% of professionals said before the pandemic they'd sometimes go to work sick. COVID-19, however, contributes to the fact that more employees are staying home to protect themselves and others.“We know when the absenteeism will end, and that's when we get the vaccine in people's arms,” says a manager. But a lack of federal leadership means “this is the Wild West right now, and we see the results of that.”12．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about absenteeism?A．Its root causes.B．Its major consequences.C．Its future development.D．Its economic values.13．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “lobbying” in paragraph 3?A．Persuading.B．Cheating.C．Informing.D．Predicting.14．What can we say about America’s absent workers?A．They complain about their working conditions.B．They call out sick because of their mental pressure.C．They struggle with the supply shortages.D．They are largely impacted by the pandemic.15．What can be inferred from the text?A．There are more jobless workers than the absent ones.B．Supply chain problems are causing absenteeism.C．All people aren’t satisfied with the federal government.D．Workers won’t return to work even if they are vaccinated.二、七选五Easy ways to improve your work productivity___16___.Take breaks outsideGetting outside to stretch your legs can boost your mood and help you to disconnect from your work for a bit. ___17___. So taking a walk when you take your break will mean that you return to your desk feeling more positive and focused, ready to tackle whatever task is next.Set a good morning routineA good morning routine can make a world of difference to your day.

She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience recently,” Sun said.In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.By 2050, half of the world’s population（nearly 5 billion）will be nearsighted, according to a study in the journal Ophthalmology. The main reason for this is that people’s lifestyles have changed. They spend less time outdoors and more time looking at screens.To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school supplies and equipment that will take effect on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no small than nine-point. Teachers should also avoid using projectors or other multimedia equipment that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported.There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible because blue light is bad for our eyes. Many of the electronic devices we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China.

Life in the summertime is often full of pests. Like most Long Island homeowners, I want to ensure my suburban life with pest-free living. So it was with wide-eyed wonder that I greeted the smiling exterminator who rang my bell.“We'll be serving your neighbors, Mike and Sarah (I'm not familiar with either one by name).” he waved in the other direction. “Since we'll have a team here tomorrow, we're offering a discount.” He came out with numbers beginning from $299 then in seconds to $89.“You've probably been seeing the ant hills around.” he moved toward my front walkway and lawn. “And have you seen the bees that dig nests in the ground?” he continued with his head shaking up and down pushing me to do the same.“What we do is spray three feet out from your foundation and three feet up.” As he was talking and without breaking eye contact, he opened his iPad cover and began operating at the screen to show me frightening images. “It also kills other pests, like spiders. It is the best pesticide,” he said, pausing for effect.He then went into soft talk to close the deal, correctly foreseeing that I would be concerned about safety and the environmental impact on my vegetable garden, plants and our little patch of planet here on Long Island. “The products are environmentally responsible, safe with children and pets,” he said.I'm unkind when it comes to unwanted visitors entering on my out-of-doors moments. Any insect found in my house or on my deck is bound to be poisoned or pancaked.Unfortunately for the exterminator, just as I was considering making an appointment. Billy, my fearless husband, pulled into our driveway, which made me ask for a business card out of politeness instead.1. How did the author feel at the sight of the exterminator?A．Frightened. B．Disappointed. C．Surprised. D．Puzzled.2. What did the exterminator offer the author if she accepted his service?A．A free pesticide. B．A discount. C．An iPad for free. D．A group rate. 3. Why was the author worried about the pesticide?A．It might cause frightening images. B．It might be too expensive for her to afford.C．It might harm her family and surroundings. D．It might have no effect on unwanted visitors.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The author is sure to phone the salesman later.B．Billy made up his mind to purchase the pesticide.C．Billy drove home to prevent the author from being cheated by the exterminator.D．The author had planned to buy the pesticide before Billy appeared.3. Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufinan, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain itShowering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring 'Aha! moment to us.”Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson. author of Your Creative Brain. “A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation period’ for your ideas.”Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it's a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.1. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?A．Increasing the level of dopamine. B．Bringing the terrible moment to us.C．Leading to boredom or tiredness. D．Setting the creative part of the brain free.2. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help________.A．draw one's attention to the outside world B．turn one's attention inwardsC．experience something new D．many chemical changes take place3. It can be inferred from the article that ___________.A．changes in the frequency of an action can create a new viewB．it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspirationC．our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new thingsD．it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task4. The example of Gertnude Stein in the last paragraph is used to________.A．show that creativity often comes from strange placesB．point out to readers that it's hard to find inspirationC．explain how to link inspiration with readers' daily livesD．encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration4. Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five - day week.Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their live s ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees.He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay.Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well - paid days of work a week.Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives need ro understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks.People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.1. According to paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire ?A．Because they have longer life to live in their future.B．Because they have children and old parents to supportC．Because they have much interest in their present work.D．Because they have more experience than young workers.2. What can we infer from the passage ?A．The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past.B．Old people continuing working can reduce young people’s pressure to support their oldparentsC．Some companies don’t want their old workers to go on working because they can savemoney.D．Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don’t agree to reduce oldemployees’working time.3. What does the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph ?A．Different from. B．Superior to.C．Far from. D．Consistent with.4. What is the best title for this passage ?A．Retire Or Not, This Is A Question!B．Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By AllC．Working Three Days A Week: A Great IdeaD．Carlos Slim - Crazy For More Resting Time5. There are over 7,000 languages in the world, each of which has its own features and advantages. Any individual language is perfectly capable of enabling communication. 1 .Show Formality With A PronounTher e are plenty of ways to show respect in English, but what English is missing is the formal “you”. But English has a single, widely accepted second-person pronoun. This is also why English doesn’t have a standard form for addressing more than one person.2 . Back in the days of Old English, the word “thou” was the singular you and “ye” was the plural you. By the 13th century, these two had shifted, so “thou” was the informal you and “ye” was the formal one. But over the past several centuries, the pronouns shifted again: “ye” became “you” and replaced both of them.3How many vowels (元音) does English have? Well, if you look at the alphabet, it has only five: A, E, I, O and U. Six if you throw in Y. But if you actually listen to English, there are a lot more. English tries its best to reflect this in its writing system, but the fact of the matter is that people learning English through reading are going to struggle to figure out what vowels sound like. When you throw in different dialects and clusters (群组) l ike “trough, though, tough”, you can see how tricky a language this really is. 4 .You could say, then, that there’s nothing on this list English “can’t” do. We probably won’t wake up tomorrow and suddenly have a completely different word order, but the Englishes spoken 10, 50 and 100 years from now will all differ from the ones we speak today. 5 .6.
