and Ten Waitresses﹣﹣﹣Aged under 22﹣﹣﹣At least high school graduate﹣﹣﹣Good looking；men at least 1.72meters tall and women 1.65﹣﹣﹣Those knowing foreign languages preferred﹣﹣﹣Paid 1600﹣2200dollars per

computer，you can just apply for the position as．A．a secretaryB．a waiter or a waitressC．an accountantD．a salesclerk22．If you want to get the position of accountant in Wilson Bookstore，you have to satisfy the following conditions EXCEPT．A．being a womanB．knowing well how to use a computerC．having been an accountantD．having an accountant certificate23．If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel，you．A．have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB．should be a university graduateC．have to be taller than 1.72metersD．should be younger than 30years old．24．（8分）Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water．You can solve the problem by activating the saliva（唾液）in you mouth．First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth．Or，press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow．Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice．Before you begin your talk，be kind to your voice．Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat．Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or water﹣down fruit juice．If you sense that you are losing your voice，stop talking completely．Save your voice for your speech．You may feel foolish using paper to write notes，but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice．If you feel the need to see a doctor，perhaps getting some advice from a professional singer can be a better choice．In the meantime，do not even talk in a low voice．What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat？I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking．The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence．The second drink gives you even more confidence．Finally you will feel all﹣powerful and you will feel you can do everything，but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly．Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking．Perhaps you want to accept the advice，but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime．Of course you can．Goethe，who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools，said，"We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter．"Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits．If you are wiling to change，you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they've become a part of your body．24．Which of the following things does the writer suggest that you should do before you began your talk？A．Drink water﹣down fruit juice．B．Have some drink with cream．C．Have some cool milk．D．Have high tea．25．What does the writer suggest when you feel you are losing your voice？A．Going to see a doctor．B．Asking a professional singer for help．C．Whispering the things that you want to say．D．Keeping on talking rather than use a paper to write notes．26．According to the text，what will happen to your speech when you drink alcohol？A．Your face will be redder and more shining．B．Your mouth and thought will not be in line．C．You will be so confident as to carry out your speech perfectly well．D．You will get excited enough to attract people's attention in the speech．27．What is the purpose of the writer to use Goethe's words？A．To encourage one to go in for sports．B．To tell that Goethe had a strong willpower．C．To prove one can change his habits．D．To remind people of the techniques to develop a lifelong habits．28．（8分）For centuries，mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure．We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply，but we've always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers．There is exciting news now﹣a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend．Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned some kind of miracle dog translator body harness（束腰带）．What's special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the dog's vocalizations to interpret what Fido is banging on about．Oh no﹣this miracle harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs'body language as well，giving us a full two﹣way dog communication experience．Researcher David Roberts says："Dogs communicate primarily through body language，and one of our challenges was to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely．"Sensors on the harness monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary，letting the human know what the dog is feeling．What would dogs say if they could talk to us？The human can even communicate back through the harness thanks to vibration motors，supposedly by tapping into the dog's senses so that it can understand what you're trying to say to it．The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front﹣line work，but it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future，one where humans and dogs can co﹣exist as equals，with the dog able to fully express itself at all times．28．Why can't people communicate with dogs？A．They have difficulty understanding dogs'barks and whimpers．B．They have no idea about dogs'behavior in relation to their posture．C．They don't know how to tell dogs what they want them to do．D．They don't have a machine to translate the dogs'language．29．What does the underlined word most probably mean in paragraph two？A．Pursue fashion．B．Research．C．Influence．D．Make．30．For what purpose is the dog harness designed？A．It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them．B．It is designed for a full two﹣way dog communication experience．C．It is designed to monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature．D．It is designed for dogs doing seach and rescue and other front﹣line work．31．What is the author's attitude towards the possible human﹣dog communication？A．Shocked．B．Excited．C．Embarrassed．D．Annoyed．32．（8分）The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness．As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places，some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings．Of the 2，500National Health Service hospitals inBritain，almost 100now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors，waiting areas and treatment rooms．These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist，Peter Senior，who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s．He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society，and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience．A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500visitors each week．What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art？Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out﹣patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975．Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist，Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates．The effect is striking．Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors，playful images and restful courtyards．The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness．A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at．32．According to the passage，"to soften the hard edges of modern buildings"means．A．to pull down hospital buildingsB．to decorate hospitals with art collectionsC．to improve the quality of treatment in hospitalsD．to make the corners of hospital buildings round33．According to Peter Senior，．A．art is not as important in people's daily life as in hospitalB．art galleries should be changed into hospitalsC．patients should be encouraged to learn paintingD．art should be encouraged in British hospitals34．After the improvement of the hospital environment，．A．patients no longer need expensive drugs in their recoveryB．patients are less dependent on expensive drugs in their recoveryC．patients need good﹣quality drugs in their recoveryD．patients use fewer pain killers in their recovery than before35．The fact that Senior is in great demand shows that．A．Peter's enterprise is developing greatlyB．Peter Senior enjoys great popularityC．he is a talented hospital artistD．the role of hospital environment is being recognized．二、（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容；从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Practical ways to get motivatedBe mindful of your"why"．If I need to clean the floor，but I really don't like cleaning，then I won't feel very motivated to do it．However，if I have a big enough reason to do it﹣because I'm having some guests to come over，or I love the feeling of having a clean floor，then that"bigger purpose"can be strong enoughto get me to act，even though I don't enjoy cleaning．If I stay mindful of why I'm doing it，I can get motivated to do it．（36）Celebrate your successes．It's easy to get down on yourself because you haven't reached your goal yet．You may overlook all of the hard work and small goals that you've accomplished．Remember to reward yourself and to celebrate your successes．（37）In the same way，how can you motivate yourself if you're not going to reward yourself and celebrate your successes？（38）Imagine how good you'll feel when you've reached your goal．Take a moment and think about how you'll feel and what you'll think after you've achieved it．What does it feel like？（39）Focus on that feeling，and use it to drive you right now to move towards your goal．Just think of how good it will be．Get inspired．Read stories，watch movies，listen to other people who have achieved what you want to achieve．Imagine what they had to go through to get to where they are．Imagine how big the heart is of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what they achieved．（40）A．Imagine having already achieved it．B．Get help and support when you're not feeling motivated．C．So remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing．D．What kind of self﹣talk would you use to motivate yourself？E．Let them inspire you to access your own great desire within．F．You might feel proud，happy，satisfied，or any other emotion．G．Would you be able to properly train a dog without rewarding

2019届广东揭阳一中、潮州金山中学高三下学期第一次联考英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed thathe was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, helooked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee fromthe wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and leftwithout paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is thatwhen we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate thatspecific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording andthe needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffeeand left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall thatreflects the generosity and care of people in this town.1.What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiter’s making normal gestures.B. Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.2.The author thought the man in need was ______.A. obviously poorB. not properly dressedC. not right to leave without payingD. strange to order coffee from the wall3. In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.A. necessary in our lifeB. a blessi ng some can’t affordC. respect shown for the needyD. a blessing everyone should have4.The passage is mainly concerned about ______.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shop2. Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain andfound that 77% get pocket money. Different families give different amounts of pocket money. The average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about￡6 a week. Children in Scotland receive slightly more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some fifteen-to-nineteen-year-olds receive more than ￡100 a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money. Lots of young people have to do housework to get their pocket money. They help at home with jobs like cleaning and cooking.A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t havepocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15%of teenagers have a job. Popular part-time jobs forteenagers include delivering newspapers, shop work, and working in a restaurant or café. There are strict government laws about working hours. Only children over 13 can work (there are some exceptions, for example, for actors.) On a school day they can work a maximum of 2 hours a day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays they can work longer hours. The national minimum wage for people aged 16-17 is ￡3.57 per hour. 18-year-olds must earn a minimum of ￡4.83. There isn’t a national minimum waged for people under 16.In Britain some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal age limit at which you can open a bank account but a bank manager can decide whether toallow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bankaccount and then children can use it to pay for things without carrying money.Saving or spending pocket money, working part-time and dealing with banks are all parts of the process of becoming a financially independent adult andhaving to earn and look after your own money.1.The pocket money for a child in Scotland per week may be _____.A. ￡4B. ￡6C. ￡8D. ￡102.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. More girls than boys save pocket money.B. Children under 13 are not allowed to work.C. Most British teenagers have a part-time job.D. A 16-year-old can work 6 hours on Saturdays.3.The best title of the passage is _____.A. Finance and IndependenceB. Eyes on Your Pocket MoneyC. The Importance of Part-time Jobs.D. British Teenagers and Their Pocket Money3. In reflecting on the events of my life that have impacted me, I returned to the night of August 1, 2006. I found myself in a hall in New York City sitting by my mother, not at all tired, although we had flown the day before, anddriven five hours to the city for “An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp,”a charity event with readings by three authors. The excitement rushing through me kept me awake and thinking; I was standing and applauding a woman as she prepared to read.The Harry Potter series was my gateway to my academic adolescence. I was so fascinated by the magic world thatmy mother began taking me to academic conferences focused on the books. Since 2005, I have attended presentations aboutthe Latin origin of terms and spells, the ancient tales,and the idea of magic. These books opened my eyes to the whole world, and to knowledge itself. They kept my brain working over the summers. More importantly, they helped me adopt the ideas useful in school and beyond, that there is always another way to do something, or to understand an issue. With uncertainty and doubt come creative ideas andnew ways to look at problems that may result in new, different, faster and easier solutions. And all this camefrom a little “magic” from a book that many people see as a series for children.I also attended lectures about Ms. Rowling’s ability to beautifully writethe story, with every small detail connected to something else, for example, details in books by Jonathan Swift to Chaucer to Dickens and Austin. I learned that like all great books, Rowling’s stories encouraged a connection across mind, body, and soul. Although the series has been criticized by those who believe it encourages bad behavior in children, I was able to hear discussions by those who claimed that these books teach wonderful messages if one gets its deeper meaning. It is my generation’s shared text; all college freshmen are familiar with the stories, and that gives us a set of common beliefs and ideas that help us start to learn new things.1.What did the author do on the night of August 1, 2006?A. He flew for a charity event.B. He drove tiredly back home.C. He listened to readings by some authors.D. He enjoyed the excitement of driving.2.The Harry Potter books led the author to ____.A. getting jobs in summersB. studying harder in schoolC. writing books for childrenD. viewing things in new ways3. From the lectures, the author knew more about ____.A. story writing skillsB. Rowling’s life storiesC. criticism against booksD. great authors in history4. What can we know about the author?A. She decides to write similar stories.B. She intends to go to major in writing.C. She doesn’t have her family’s support.D. She may continue to read magic stories.4. During these past few days I have been reflecting a lot on everything that happened this past year and thinking of what I can do differently so that the coming year will be much better! Here I want to share some tips so you canalso do your resolution and you can achieve them all!·Be realistic: You should always try to reach for theskies with yo ur goals, but things like “I want to winthe lottery（彩票）” or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldn’t have on your list because they will only become frustrations.·Be detailed: It’s a lot easier to accomplish morespecific plans than general ones. Instead of writing “Iwant to lose weight,” put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.·Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gymas one of your annual plans. During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that youcouldn’t because you came home so tired from work. Ifthis is one of your plans for this year, you shouldwrite down h ow you’re going to achieve it. For example,“I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.·Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is veryimportant that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish,and it is important that you write them down that way.If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed. For example, “I will call my s ister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middleof the year.”Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me allof this love and support during the next. Happy new year!1. Why isn’t “I want to win the lottery” recommended as a New Year plan?A. Because it is very likely to fail.B. Because it is too easy to realize.C. Because it is not big enough as a goal.D. Because it is not easier than losing weight.2. The underlined word commit in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by theword_______.A. devoteB. determineC. adjustD. force3.When you failed to accomplish your plan last year, you’re advised to______.A. take action instead of writing it downB. give up the same plan this yearC. put down the way to realize itD. stop making any plans4.According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?A. I will become a millionaire in one month.B. I want to be the champion of the marathon.C. I will change all of my bad habits in one week.D. I will go for a walk after supper in working days.二、七选五5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWant to find a job? Now read the following advertisements.FAIRMONT HOTELFive waiters and Ten Waitresses---Aged under 22---At least high school graduate---Good looking; men at least 1.72 meters tall and women 1.65---Those knowing foreign languages preferred---Paid 1600-2200 dollars per monthOne Secretary---Aged under 30---Female preferred---Good at writing and skilled at computerIf interested, call 465-4768 or write to: Mr. Jack Hundris Room 0825, Fairmont Hotel567 Wood Street, San Markers, 78003Fax: 6954828WILSON BOOKSTOREAccountants(会计)---Aged between 25 and 40---With an experience of at least two years---With a degree and an accountant certificate---Paid 3000-4000 dollars monthly---With a knowledge of computerSalesclerks---Basic education of 12 years or more---Good at computer---Paid 1800-2200 dollars monthlyTel: 447-4398 Fax: 348526921. If you don’t know how to use a computer, you can just apply for the position as _____ .A. a secretaryB. a waiter or a waitressC. an accountantD. a salesclerk22. If you want to get the position of accountant in Wilson Bookstore, you have to satisfy thefollowing conditions EXCEPT ____ .A.being a womanB. knowing well how to use a computerC. having been an accountantD. having an accountant certificate23. If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel, you _________ .A. have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB. should be a university graduateC. have to be taller than 1.72 metersOften speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva（唾液）in you mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or, press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow. Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.Before you begin your talk, be kind to your voice. Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat. Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or water-down fruit juice.If you sense that you are losing your voice, stop talking completely. Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If you feel the need to see a doctor, perhaps getting some advice from a professional singer can be a better choice. In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools, said, ―We learn to skate in the summer a nd swim in the winter.‖ Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are wiling to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they’ve become a part of your body.24. Which of the following things does the writer suggest that you should do before you began your talk?A. Drink water-down fruit juice.B. Have some drink with cream.C. Have some cool milk.D. Have high tea.25. What does the writer suggest when you feel you are losing your voice?A. Going to see a doctor.B. Asking a professional singer for help.C. Whispering the things that you want to say.D. Keeping on talking rather than use a paper to write notes.26. According to the text, what will happen to your speech when you drink alcohol?A. Your face will be redder and more shining.B. Your mouth and thought will not be in line.C. You will be so confident as to carry out your speech perfectly well.D. You will get excited enough to attract people’s attention i n the speech.27. What is the purpose of the writer to use Goethe’s words?A. To encourage one to go in for sports.B. To tell that Goethe had a strong willpower.C. To prove one can change his habits.D. To remind people of the techniques to develop a lifelong habits.For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now – a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned some kind of miracle dog translator body harness(束腰带). What’s special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the dog’s vocalizations to interpret what Fido is banging on about.Oh no –this miracle harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs’ body language as well, giving us a full two-way dog communication experience.Researcher David Roberts says: "Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges was to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely."Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and b ody temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling.What would dogs say if they could talk to us? The human can even communicate back through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog’s senses so that it can understand what you’re trying to say to it.The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work, but it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can co-exist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times.28. Why can’t people communicate with dogs?A. They have difficulty understanding dogs’ barks and whimpers.B. They have no idea about dogs’ behavior in relation to their posture.C. They don’t know how to tell dogs what they want them to do.D. They don’t have a machine to translate the dogs’ language.29. What does the underlined word most probably mean in paragraph two?A. Pursue fashion.B. Research.C. Influence.D. Make.30. For what purpose is the dog harness designed?A . It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them.B. It is designed for a full two-way dog communication experience.C. It is designed to monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature.D. It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front-line work.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the possible human-dog communication?A. Shocked.B. Excited.C. Embarrassed.D. Annoyed.The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.32. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means______.A. to pull down hospital buildingsB. to decorate hospitals with art collectionsC. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitalsD. to make the corners of hospital buildings round33. According to Peter Senior, _______.A. art is not as important in people’s daily life as in hospitalB. art galleries should be changed into hospitalsC. patients should be encouraged to learn paintingD. art should be encouraged in British hospitals34. After the improvement of the hospital environment, _______.A. patients no longer need expensive drugs in their recoveryB. patients are less dependent on expensive drugs in their recoveryC. patients need good-quality drugs in their recoveryD. patients use fewer pain killers in their recovery than before35. The fact that Senior is in great demand shows that_______.A. Peter's enterprise is developing greatlyB. Peter Senior enjoys great popularityC. he is a talented hospital artistD. the role of hospital environment is being recognized第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容；从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

揭阳市第一中学、潮州市金山中学2016年联考高考英语模拟试卷(5月份) 含解析

2016年广东省揭阳市第一中学、潮州市金山中学联考高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）一、阅读理解(共两节,满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分,满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．21．EDGEWOOD﹣Every morning at Dixie Heights High school，customers pour into a special experiment：the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs．Well before classes start，students and teachers order Lattes，Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates．Then,during the first period,teachers call in orders on their room phones,and students make deliveries．By closing time at 9:20a．m．,the shop usually sells 90drinks．”Whoever made the chi tea，Ms．Schatzman says it was good，”Christy McKinley，a second year student，announced recently，after hanging up with the teacher．The shop is called the Dixie PIT，which stands for Power in Transition．Although some of the students are not disabled，many are,and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school．They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs．They keep a timecard and receive paychecks，which they keep in check registers．Special﹣education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia．Not that it was easy．Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product﹣related．Should schools be selling coffee？What about sugar content？Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped．She made sure all the drinks，which use non﹣fat milk,fell within nutrition guidelines．21．The coffee shop is mostly run by．A．all the studentsB．all the teachersC．students with special learning needsD．some special﹣education teachers22．When does the coffee shop close?A．In the early morning．B．At 9：20a．m．C．At 9a．m．D．In the afternoon．23．The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to．A．raise money for school affairsB．do some research on nutritionC．supply teachers with drinksD．develop students’practical skills．24．Have you ever wondered where the chocolate in your favorite candy bar comesfrom?Chocolate comes from the cacao tree，which grows in warm，tropical areas of West Africa,Indonesia，Malaysia，Mexico，and South America．And who eats the delicious chocolate made from the cacao grown in these places？The majority of chocolate is consumed in Europe and North America．This probably sounds like a familiar story﹣developing countries produce inexpensive raw materials that are manufactured and sold as finished goods in developedcountries，and generally,that is what happens with chocolate．Large chocolate companies buy cacao beans at a low price and produce cocoa and chocolate products to sell at a relatively high price．But the familiar story has a new chapter．Beginning in the 1980s，some consumers learned that cacao farmers were living difficult and uncertain lives．The farmers received money for their crops based on world markets，and the market price for cacao was sometimes so low that farmers received less for their crops than the crops had cost to produce．In response，groups of consumers in Europe and the United States developed”fair trade"organizations to guarantee that farmers of cacao，as well as coffee and tea，would receive fair and consistent prices for their crops．Fair trade organizations benefit farmers by buying cacao beans or other products from them directly at higher﹣than﹣market prices and eliminating （除去）”middle men”such as exporters．Fair trade organizations also encourage farming techniques that are not harmful to the environment or to farm workers，for example，growing cacao without chemical pesticides or fertilizers in the shade of rain forest trees．One organization，Equal Exchange，helps farmers set up farming cooperatives in which they can share resources and work on projects such as community schools．Another，Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO），guarantees that products bearing its label meet standards that improve the lives of growers and producers．The results of fair trade are a better standard of living for some farmers and nicer chocolate bars made with organically produced cocoa that consumers don’t feel guilty about buying．And although fair trade chocolate is somewhat more expensive than other chocolate and now makes up only 1% of chocolate sold，the fair trade idea is spreading quickly．You may soon see fair trade chocolate right next to the more famous bars in your favorite store．24．The underlined word”that”in Para.1refers to．A．the unfair trade between countriesB．the high price of chocolate productsC．the traditional production of raw materialsD．the major consumption of the finished food25．The organization Equal Exchange aims to．A．promote chocolate salesB．offer support to the farmersC．reduce the cost of growing cropsD．increase the production of chocolate26．What does the author imply in the last paragraph？A．There will be more fair trade chocolate in the future．B．Fair trade chocolate is not as tasty as other chocolate．C．Consumers feel guilty about buying fair trade chocolate．D．There is probably no reason to worry about cacao farmers．27．The passage is written to．A．give tips on how to undertake fair chocolate tradeB．advise people to join in Fair trade organizationsC．encourage farmers to adopt organic farmingD．inform people of fair trade chocolate．28．Does happiness have a scent？When someone is happy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling﹣though it’s unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents﹣particularly their facial expressions﹣indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．”Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，”said study co﹣author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent,but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear,seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell,but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate （分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes,for instance,could be invented．Scent therapies （香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．28．What is the main finding of the new research？A．Men produce more sweats．B．Negative emotions have a smell．C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D．Women have a better sense of smell．29．The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably means．A．avoid B．practice C．continue D．try30What is the application value of the new research？A．Perfumes could help people understand each other．B．Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C．Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．31We can learn from the last paragraph that．A．happiness comes from a scent of sweatB．positive energy can deepen understandingC．people need more emotional communicationD．social surroundings can influence our emotions．32．Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today’s rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right,and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co﹣founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation （DEC）,stated”There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．People seem to forget that since innovation is a change,there can be no innovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders,followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate,but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little，if anything，about the news business,but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour,as was common before CNN．Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24hours a day．The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day．However，it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work．Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．Due to conventional thinking,the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted．They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future．Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk﹣taking,so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it．To survive，thrive （茁壮成长）and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change．32．DEC has disappeared probably because．A．the consumers didn’t like its productsB．the leaders lacked the sense of securityC．the CEO stuck to the conventional ideasD．the employees took many risks with changes33．The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove．A．missing opportunities could lead to failureB．changing could contribute to business successC．watching news at the dinner hour is convenientD．conventional wisdom influences business success34．What does the underlined part probably mean?A．Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．B．Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．C．It's necessary to understand when people watch the news．D．It’s easy to know people needn’t watch the news all the time．35．The passage is mainly written to tell us that．A．old methods are changing with timeB．opportunities lead to business successC．conventional wisdom limits innovationD．successful companies need wise leaders．二、（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．Attraction of the MinionsWhen it comes to film，people usually favor good over evil，focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters．（36）Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me (卑鄙的我）,these yellow pill﹣shaped nuts，have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure．This summer the characters debuted (首演）in their own self﹣titled movie in theaters abroad,having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today．Recently,McDonald's has been including Minion toys with kids'meals in some areas，causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all．(37)The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers．”We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular．It just became a force of nature，"the film's co﹣writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times．（38）For many，the appeal is obviously their cuteness．Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups．Even children can draw them．Thousands of examples of fan﹣made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms．But there’s more to the phenomenon than just cuteness．US entertainment website Hit Fix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well．（39）But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸张的）movements and expressions．More importantly，their childlike mannerisms is a brand of humor that wins hearts．"Clumsy,foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate B personalities，"wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety．They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master．（40）"Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves，”Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote，"or an evil version of ourselves．”A．So what makes the banana﹣loving Minions a big hit？B．Besides，their childlike manner entertains fans more．C．And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans．D．Related video games，toys and other goods are sweeping the world．E．Minions is a 2015American 3D computer﹣animated family comedy film．F．But when it comes to the Minions,these conventions （惯例）go right out the window．G．The largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like"potato"．三、完形填空(共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．41．”Paul must have

morning at Dixie Heights High school，customers pour into a special experiment：the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs．Well before classes start，students and teachers order Lattes，Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates．Then，during the first period，teachers call in orders on their room phones,and students make deliveries．By closing time at 9:20a．m．，the shop usually sells 90drinks．"Whoever made the chi tea,Ms．Schatzman says it was good，”Christy McKinley，a second year student，announced recently，after hanging up with the teacher．The shop is called the Dixie PIT，which stands for Power in Transition．Although some of the students are not disabled,many are，and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school．They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs．They keep a timecard and receive paychecks,which they keep in check registers．Special﹣education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia．Not that it was easy．Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product﹣related．Should schools be selling coffee？What about sugar content?Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped．She made sure all the drinks，which use non﹣fat milk，fell within nutrition guidelines．21．The coffee shop is mostly run by C．A．all the studentsB．all the teachersC．students with special learning needsD．some special﹣education teachers22．When does the coffee shop close？BA．In the early morning．B．At 9：20a．m．C．At 9a．m．D．In the

learning needs．可知这家咖啡店是为了有特殊学习需要的学生而经营的,故选C．22．B 细节理解题，根据第二段By closing time at 9:20a．m．，the shop usually sells90drinks．"Whoever made the chi tea，Ms．Schatzman says it was good，"Christy McKinley，a second year student，announced recently，after hanging up with the teacher．可知这家咖啡店在上午九点二十关门,故选B．23．D 推理判断题，根据第三段The shop is called the Dixie PIT,which stands for Power in Transition．Although some of the students are not disabled,many are，and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school．They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs．They keep a timecard and receive paychecks，which they keep in check registers．可知经营Dixie PIT咖啡店这个项目可以培养学生的实践能力，故选D．24．Have you ever wondered where the chocolate in your favorite candy bar comes from？Chocolate comes from the cacao tree，which grows in warm，tropical areas of WestAfrica,Indonesia，Malaysia，Mexico,and South America．And who eats the delicious chocolate made from the cacao grown in these places?The majority of chocolate is consumed in Europe and North America．This probably sounds like a familiar story﹣developing countries produce inexpensive raw materials that are manufactured and sold as finished goods in developed countries，and generally,that is what happens with chocolate．Large chocolate companies buy cacao beans at a low price and produce cocoa and chocolate products to sell at a relatively high price．But the familiar story has a new chapter．Beginning in the 1980s，some consumers learned that cacao farmers were living difficult and uncertain lives．The farmers received money for their crops based on world markets，and the market price for cacao was sometimes so low that farmers received less for their crops than the crops had cost to produce．In response，groups of consumers in Europe and the United States developed"fair trade"organizations to guarantee that farmers of cacao，as well as coffee and tea，would receive fair and consistent prices for their crops．Fair trade organizations benefit farmers by buying cacao beans or other products from them directly at higher﹣than﹣market prices and eliminating （除去）"middle men"such as exporters．Fair trade organizations also encourage farming techniques that are not harmful to the environment or to farm workers，for example,growing cacao without chemical pesticides or fertilizers in the shade of rain forest trees．One organization，Equal Exchange，helps farmers set up farming cooperatives in which they can share resources and work on projects such as community schools．Another，Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO），guarantees that products bearing its label meet standards that improve the lives of growers and producers．The results of fair trade are a better standard of living for some farmers and nicer chocolate bars made with organically produced cocoa that consumers don't feel guilty about buying．And although fair trade chocolate is somewhat more expensive than other chocolate and now makes up only 1％of chocolate sold，the fair trade idea is spreading quickly．You may soon see fair trade chocolate right next to the more famous bars in your favorite store．24．The underlined word"that"in Para.1refers to A．A．the unfair trade between countriesB．the high price of chocolate productsC．the traditional production of raw materialsD．the major consumption of the finished food25．The organization Equal Exchange aims to B．A．promote chocolate salesB．offer support to the farmersC．reduce the cost of growing cropsD．increase the production of chocolate26．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?AA．There will be more fair trade chocolate in the future．B．Fair trade chocolate is not as tasty as other chocolate．C．Consumers feel guilty about buying fair trade chocolate．D．There is probably no reason to worry about cacao farmers．27．The passage is written to D．A．give tips on how to undertake fair chocolate tradeB．advise people to join in Fair trade organizationsC．encourage farmers to adopt organic farmingD．inform people of fair trade chocolate．【考点】政治经济类阅读．【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者通过本篇文章主要向我们描述了由于不公平的巧克力交易而诞生的维护农民权益的平等交易组织，尽管这样的巧克力价格比较高，但是它维护了农民的利益,有强大的发展前景．【解答】24．A．词义猜测题．根据文章第一段的”This probably sounds like a familiarstory﹣developing countries produce inexpensive raw materials that aremanufactured and sold as finished goods in developed countries"可知，这可能听起来像一个很熟悉的故事,发展中国家生产廉价的原材料,在发达国家加工成成品进行销售;可知单词that指的是这种不公平的国家之间的贸易,故选A．25．B．细节理解题．根据文章第二段的"In response，groups of consumers in Europe and the United Statesdeveloped"fair trade”organizations to guarantee that farmers of cacao，as wellas coffee and tea，would receive fair and consistent prices for their crops"可知，对此，欧洲消费者团体和美国建立的"公平贸易"组织，保证种植可可、咖啡和茶的农民的庄稼将获得公平和一致的价格，所以平等交易这个组织的目的是给农民提供帮助，故选B．26．A．推理判断题，根据文章最后一段的”You may soon see fair trade chocolate rightnext to the more famous bars in your favorite store”可知，你可能很快在您最喜爱的商店里看到公平贸易的巧克力仅次于有名的巧克力；所以作者的意思是将来会有更多的公平贸易巧克力,故选A．27．D．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章主要讲了由于不公平的巧克力交易而诞生的维护农民权益的平等交易组织，尽管这样的巧克力价格比较高，但是它维护了农民的利益,有强大的发展前景；可知文章主要是要告诉读者公平的巧克力贸易，故选D．28．Does happiness have a scent？When someone is happy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness？Surprising newresearch suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent,and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell,reports Phys．org．For the study，12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling﹣though it’s unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents﹣particularly their facial expressions﹣indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co﹣author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate （分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented．Scent therapies （香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．28．What is the main finding of the new research？CA．Men produce more sweats．B．Negative emotions have a smell．C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D．Women have a better sense of smell．29．The underlined part"abstain from”in Paragraph 3probably means A．A．avoid B．practice C．continue D．try30What is the application value of the new research？BA．Perfumes could help people understand each other．B．Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C．Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．31We can learn from the last paragraph that D．A．happiness comes from a scent of sweatB．positive energy can deepen understanding。

Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 1 things are handwritten. All too often，people buy a pen based only on 2 , and wonder why they are not satisfied once they begin to use it. However，buying a pen that you'll enjoy is not 3 if you keep the following in mind.First of all, a pen should fit 4 in your hand and be easy to use. The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic 5 comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a 6 hand and thicker fingers, you may 7 a fatter pen. The length of a pen can also influence comfort. A pen that is too 8 can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.Then, the writing point of the pen should 9 the ink to flow evenly(均匀地) while the pen remains in touch with the paper. This will make it possible for you to create a 10 line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to 11 ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the 12 may leave drops of ink，as you pick the pen up and put it down again.13 , the pen should make a thick，dark line. Fine-line pens may make up for 14 handwriting, but fine(very thin or narrow), delicate lines do not attract 15 next to printed text, as, for example, a signature on a printed letter.

AI sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of V enice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.”We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.1. What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiter’s making normal gestures.B. Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.2. The author thought the man in need was ______.A. obviously poorB. not properly dressedC. not right to leave without payingD. strange to order coffee from the wall3. In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.A. necessary in our lifeB. a blessing some can’t affordC. respect shown for the needyD. a blessing everyone should have4. The passage is mainly concerned about ______.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shopBMost teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain and found that 77% get pocket money. Different families give different amounts of pocket money. The average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about￡6 a week. Children in Scotland receive slightly more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some fifteen-to-nineteen-year-olds receive more than ￡100 a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money. Lots of young people have to do housework to get their pocket money. They help at home with jobs like cleaning and cooking.A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15% of teenagers have a job. Popular part-time jobs for teenagers include delivering newspapers, shop work, and working in a restaurant or café. There are strict government laws about working hours. Only children over 13 can work (there are some exceptions, for example, for actors.) On a school day they can work a maximum of 2 hours a day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays they can work longer hours. The national minimum wage for people aged 16-17 is￡3.57 per hour. 18-year-olds must earn a minimum of ￡4.83. There isn’t a national minimum waged for people under 16.In Britain some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal age limit at which you can open a bank account but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account and then children can use it to pay for things without carrying money.Saving or spending pocket money, working part-time and dealing with banks are all parts of the process of becoming a financially independent adult and having to earn and look after your own money.5. The pocket money for a child in Scotland per week may be _____.A. ￡4B. ￡6C. ￡8D. ￡106. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. More girls than boys save pocket money.B. Children under 13 are not allowed to work.C. Most British teenagers have a part-time job.D. A 16-year-old can work 6 hours on Saturdays.7. The best title of the passage is _____.A. Finance and IndependenceB. Eyes on Your Pocket MoneyC. The Importance of Part-time Jobs.D. British Teenagers and Their Pocket MoneyCIn reflecting on the events of my life that have impacted me, I returned to the night of August 1, 2006. I found myself in a hall in New York City sitting by my mother, not at all tired, although we had flown the day before, and driven five hours to the city for “An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp,” a charity event with readings by three authors. The excitement rushing through me kept me awake and thinking; I was standing and applauding a woman as she prepared to read.The Harry Potter series was my gateway to my academic adolescence. I was so fascinated by the magic world that my mother began taking me to academic conferences focused on the books. Since 2005, Ihave attended presentations about the Latin origin of terms and spells, the ancient tales, and the idea of magic. These books opened my eyes to the whole world, and to knowledge itself. They kept my brain working over the summers. More importantly, they helped me adopt the ideas useful in school and beyond, that there is always another way to do something, or to understand an issue. With uncertainty and doubt come creative ideas and new ways to look at problems that may result in new, different, faster and easier solutions. And all this came from a little “magic” from a book that many people see as a series for children.I also attended lectures about Ms. Rowling’s ability to beautifully write the story, with every small detail connected to something else, for example, details in books by Jonathan Swift to Chaucer to Dickens and Austin. I learned that like all great books, Rowling’s stories encouraged a connection across mind, body, and soul. Although the series has been criticized by those who believe it encourages bad behavior in children, I was able to hear discussions by those who claimed that these books teach wonderful messages if one gets its deeper meaning. It is my generation’s shared text; all college freshmen are familiar with the stories, and that gives us a set of common beliefs and ideas that help us start to learn new things.8.

Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!·Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like “I want to win the lottery（彩票）” or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldn’t have on your list because they will only become frustrations.·Be detailed: It’s a lot easier to accomplish more specific plans than general ones. Instead of writing “I want to lose weight,” put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.·Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans. During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldn’t because you came home so tired from work. If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how you’re going to achieve it. For example, “I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.·Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish, and it is important that you write them down that way. If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed. For example, “I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.”Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next. Happy new year!12. Why isn’t “I want to win the lottery” recommended as a New Year plan?A. Because it is very likely to fail.B. Because it is too easy to realize.C. Because it is not big enough as a goal.D.

AI sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.”Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.1. What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiter’s making normal gestures.B. Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.2. The author thought the man in need was ______.A. obviously poorB. not properly dressedC. not right to leave without payingD. strange to order coffee from the wall3. In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.A. necessary in our lifeB. a blessing some can’t affordC. respect shown for the needyD. a blessing everyone should have4. The passage is mainly concerned about ______.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shopBMost teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain and found that 77% get pocket money. Different families give different amounts of pocket money. The average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about￡6 a week. Children in Scotland receive slightly more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some fifteen-to-nineteen-year-olds receive more than ￡100 a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money. Lots of young people have to do housework to get their pocket money. They help at home with jobs like cleaning and cooking.A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15% of teenagers have a job. Popular part-time jobs for teenagers include delivering newspapers, shop work, and working in a restaurant or café. There are strict government laws about working hours. Only children over 13 can work (there are some exceptions, for example, for actors.) On a school day they can work a maximum of 2 hours a day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays they can work longer hours. The national minimum wage for people aged 16-17 is￡3.57 per hour. 18-year-olds must earn a minimum of ￡4.83. There isn’t a national minimum waged for people under 16.In Britain some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal age limit at which you can open a bank account but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account and then children can use it to pay for things without carrying money.Saving or spending pocket money, working part-time and dealing with banks are all parts of the process of becoming a financially independent adult and having to earn and look after your own money.5. The pocket money for a child in Scotland per week may be _____.A. ￡4B. ￡6C. ￡8D. ￡106. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. More girls than boys save pocket money.B. Children under 13 are not allowed to work.C. Most British teenagers have a part-time job.D. A 16-year-old can work 6 hours on Saturdays.7. The best title of the passage is _____.A. Finance and IndependenceB. Eyes on Your Pocket MoneyC. The Importance of Part-time Jobs.D. British Teenagers and Their Pocket MoneyCIn reflecting on the events of my life that have impacted me, I returned to the night of August 1, 2006. I found myself in a hall in New York City sitting by my mother, not at all tired, although we had flown the day before, and driven five hours to the city for “An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp,”a charity event with readings by three authors. The excitement rushing through me kept me awake and thinking; I was standing and applauding a woman as she prepared to read.The Harry Potter series was my gateway to my academic adolescence. I was so fascinated bythe magic world that my mother began taking me to academic conferences focused on the books. Since 2005, I have attended presentations about the Latin origin of terms and spells, the ancient tales, and the idea of magic. These books opened my eyes to the whole world, and to knowledge itself. They kept my brain working over the summers. More importantly, they helped me adopt the ideas useful in school and beyond, that there is always another way to do something, or to understand an issue. With uncertainty and doubt come creative ideas and new ways to look at problems that may result in new, different, faster and easier solutions. And all this came from a little “magic” from a book that many people see as a series for children.I also attended lectures about Ms. Rowling’s ability to beautifully write the story, with every small detail connected to something else, for example, details in books by Jonathan Swift to Chaucer to Dickens and Austin.
