Meal kit delivery servicesMeal kit delivery services are one of the most underestimated innovations of the 21st century. How they work is simple. At the beginning you choose how many people need to eat in your household. Then, what your dietary requirements are, and any other preferences. Finally, you get to choose which meal kits will be delivered to your door.No matter your diet, you can have an appropriate meal kit delivered. For example,check out these low carb meal delivery options. The kit comes completewith all the ingredients you need, already prepared.All you have to do is to follow the simple recipe to put them together and pop your meal in the oven.With meal kit delivery, you don't have to worry about cooking or spending money on takeout. Your trips to the grocery store will become easier and you'll waste less money and food.TaskrabbitOne of the most frustrating aspects of having a place you call your own is that you have to take care of the maintenance(维修)。

You can hire someone to take care of your leaky tap rather than spending your own time and energy doing it. You're giving someone work while enjoying your time off. PostmatesFinally, one of the most convenient and useful services is, of course, Postmates. With Postmates, you can get just about anything delivered or deliver something yourself. You can get someone to do your groceries for you - simply make a list of what you need and choose whether the shopper should call you if something is out or if they can decide on replacements themselves.You can also use it for takeout, to send or receive documents, and any other delivery needs you have.We live in an age of convenience, and we should take advantage of it.

Our teacher had us practicing holiday songs for the upcoming winter show, andwith holiday seasonal passion we sang. When we came to one of the Hanukkah (a Jewish festival)songs.a few classmates and I got up and started dancing. We flew around the classroom laughing,our movements becoming irregular as the song progressed. Then one boy stood up and said something along the lines of,"Stop! You're making fun of Jewish people!"Our student-teacher stopped the song. the boy looked at us angrily as the student-teacher began to lecture,us on our behavior. How we were being disrespectful to the boy's culture-how the dancing was wrong. I was surprised at the outburst and. as a Jewish person myself,did not understand why the boy was offended, or why I was in trouble. I was embarrassed and made to feel disrespected my own culture.At the beginning of middle school, with the Hanukkah song incident still fresh in my mind, I began to interact more with my Jewish heritage(血统)。

2020-2021学年江苏如东高级中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ANo one knows when the first printing press was invented or who invented it. but the oldest known printed text originated in China during the first millennium (千年) AD.The Diamond Sutra (《金刚经》), a Buddhist book from Dunhuang, China during the Tang Dynasty, is said to be the oldest known printed book.The Diamond Sutrawas created with a method known as block printing (雕版印刷), which used boards of hand-carved wood blocks in reverse.It was said that the moveable type was developed by Bi Sheng. He was fromYingshan,Hubei,China, living from 970 to 1051 AD. His method replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual Chinese characters that could be reused. The first moveable Chinese Characters were carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that were then arranged onto an iron frame that was pressed against an iron plate.The earliest mention of Bi Sheng’s printing press is in the bookDream Pool Essays, written in 1086 by Shen Kuo, who noted that his nephews came into possession of Bi Sheng’s typefaces (字体) after his death. Shen Kuo explained that Bi Sheng did not use wood because the texture is inconsistent (不一致的) and absorbs wetness too easily.By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, which ruled from 1127 to 1279 AD, books had become popular in society and helped create a scholarly class of citizens who had the capabilities to become civil servants. Large printed book collections also became a status symbol for the wealthy class.1. When was Bi Sheng’s printing press first introduced in history?A. After Bi Sheng died and his nephews owned his typefaces.B. When books became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.C. After the block printing was replaced by the moveable type printing.D. WhenThe Diamond Sutrawas printed into a book.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. Shen Kuo made great contributions to printing.B. The moveable type printing was invented earlier than block printing.C. Printed books were hard to get in the Song Dynasty.D. By the Southern Song Dynasty, books had helped people get to higher social positions.3. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show that Buddhism was popular in the Tang Dynasty.B. To introduce the early history of printing.C. To memorize Bi Sheng, developing the moveable type printing.D. To indicate the advantages of moveable type printing.BHumans have found an easy way to tell if others are lying. Recent research shows that the best way so far is being clever at how you ask questions and listen to the answers.Much of this research is based on the idea that telling a lie is simply harder mental work than telling the truth. Making up a story takes more effort than simply recording something that happened. And like a writer, a liar has to keep all the unreal details in his memory and sound believable when he explains them.One method that seems to work is asking them to tell their story in reverse order. This is harder when the story isn't true and makes it easier for you to tell they are lying. An even more basic way that helps is to just ask more questions, especially unexpected ones. Truth-tellers can easily find more to say, but it's a challenge for a liar to come up with something that's not in his prepared story.Researchers suggest that you shouldn't lay all your cards on the table at the start, but only gradually present what proof you have. The liars' stories may not agree with that proof, making it clear that they're lying.So it looks like there are ways to increase the chances of catching a liar; we've just been basing our methods on the wrong stories. Low-tech ways of causing people to make mistakes in conversation seem to work better than any science about eye movement or machines used to recognize a liar. To find a liar, watch less and listen more.4. Why does the author mention the writer?A. To show it's hard to make up lies.B. To show it's hard to recognise a liar.C. To show writers know liars best.D. To show writers are very clever.5. What do we know about liars?A. They often have much to say.B. They often ask many questions.C. They usually prepare a made-up story.D. They usually feel good about themselves.6. What advice is given to help people catch liars?A. Asking them to set their stories down.B. Presenting your proof one by one.C. Telling different stories to them.D. Letting them ask questions.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Why People LieB. How to Stop People LyingC. Low-tech Ways to Find a LiarD. LiarsAre Smarter than ThoughtC“Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water, the French writer Antoine de Rivarol wrote. This love letter to the cleansing beauty of a good cry is a comforting thought at atime when the continuing stress of the COVID-19 has added heaviness to each of our lives.Scientifically, de Rivarol's poetic image doesn't, if you'll forgive the words used in the poem, hold water. There's limited research on crying, partly because of the difficulty of copying the behavior of real crying in a lab. But even within the previous studies, there's little evidence to suggest that crying provides a physiological cleansing of poisons in people's body.Psychologists believe the relief of a good cry connects with a different emotional process. “It seems that crying occurs just after the peak of the emotional experience, and crying is associated with this return to homeostasis: the process of maintaining a stable psychological state,” said Lauren Bylsma. He also said holding back tears can have negative physical consequences, including headaches and muscle tension. Such restriction can also limit our experiences of joy, gratitude and other positive emotions if we avoid acknowledging our feelings.For me crying has been easier said than done during the COVID-19. Psychologists say it's normal to feel stopped up by the stresses of the past year. We should find opportunities to release and process our emotions.Watching a tear-jerking movie, having an emotional conversation with a close friend, and writing in a journal are healthy ways toelicita cry. Physical activity like light-footed walking or even dancing can also signal our bodies to release some emotional tightness. We can then open up to the flow of feelings that leave us feeling lighter and refreshed—like a clear sky after a soaking rain.8. What is the weakness of the studies ever clone on crying?A. They were clone in a laboratory setting.B. They cared little about different forms of crying.C. They were always concentrated on people's daily life.D. They showed little about the positive physical effect of crying.9. What is the function of crying according to Lauren Bylsma?A. Curing people of their diseases.B. Keeping emotionally balanced.C. Producing negative mental results.D. Expanding people's experience of joy.10. What does the underlined word “elicit” in the last paragraph mean?A. Produce.B. Postpone.C. Control.D. Repeat.11. What are people advised to do according to the text?A. Learn to hold back their tears wisely.B. Share their emotion with their colleagues.C. Have a good cry when necessary.D. Try to avoid admitting our feelings.DWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.12. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.13. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.14. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in Classrooms第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that the coronavirus can be spread, making a potentially life-saving invention.He first hit on the excellent idea two years ago as a means of reducing the spread of the cold and flu. After both of Max's parents were infected with COVID-19 four months ago, however, he put in all his effort to develop a working prototype(模型).Worn on both wrists, the intelligent device is expected to retail for E89. It uses position-sending technology algorithms (算法)to tell between predicted face touching and other hand motions Then the device alerts users to hand gestures that are dangerously near the face."We came up with the concept a few years ago when my family was repeatedly catching cold and flu viruses from traveling in and out of London and could see how easy it was to pick up germs-especially from using public transport," said Max. "It was only when the World Health Organization (WHO) began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes, noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the transmission of the coronavirus."Max, who is from Bristol, launched E660,000 crowdfunding(众筹) campaign on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality. " The main task of this project is not to make money, but to get it onto the wrists of those it can help keep safe. Any profits made from early sales via the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service (NHS) staff and nursing homes.”4. Why did Max develop the V ybPro?A. To prevent the spread of the cold and flu.B. To protect people against coronavirus.C. To test position-sending technology.D. To monitor people's health.5. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The background of inventing the VybPro.B. The working principle of the VybPro.C. The cost of making the VybPro.D. The role of the WHO.6. What made Max start the crowdfunding campaign?A. Raising money for nursing homes.B. Providing free devices for NHS.C. Helping to advance his project.D. Making a better type of VybPro.7. What can we learn from Max's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Technology changes our livesC. Ups and downs make one strong.D. Little people can make a big difference.CWhen people think of cliques(小集体), they often assume that they are made up of the popular kids at school. But cliques exist on every level of the social ladder. To outsiders, the group looks like a cross-section of friends that enjoy time together. But there are some bad signs of cliques. For instance, cliques discourage outside friendships, enjoy one person being the decision- maker and cause peer pressure. They also consist of unhealthy friendships and pose some serious dangers to teens.When kids are in a clique, they usually do not socialize outside of their group. They do everything together. From eating lunch together to attending social events, these kids are inseparable(形影不离的). And rarely will they invite someone new to spend time with them. To some people, the group appears like a close-knit group of friends. They have similar interests and enjoy spending time together. The problems arise when others are not welcome to join or hang out with the group. What's more, in cliques it is often frowned upon for a member of the group to have friends in other groups. The expectation is that to belong to the group, friendships are exclusive(独有的)to the group. If someone in the group does stray from the group, they are quickly excluded.This excessive togetherness is bad for teens because they are not meeting new people or expanding their sphere of friendships. Remember, the healthiest kids have friends in different social circles with a variety of different interests. It is almost unheard-of for a clique to exist without some type of peer pressure From pressures to exclude others and dress a certain way, to pressures to date only certain people, teens in cliques are pressured to be and act a certain way in order to belong. Even more extreme pressures like keeping a certain weight are prevalent in cliques.There is power in numbers, and when teens belong to cliques they fee empowered to do things they would not otherwise do. As a result, they are more likely to engage in rumors(谣言)as well as name-calling. They are also more likely to make fun of other people and bully(欺负) those who do not fit with the ideals of their group Cliques can also lead to cyberbullying. Teens in the group assume they have friends at their back and will engage in cyberbullying others more freely.8. What is the main feature of a clique according to Paragraph 2?A. It reflects the same social class.B. It is very attractive to outsiders.C. It includes different age groups.D. It doesn't welcome new members.9. What does the underlined word prevalent"in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dangerous.B. Widespread.C. Strange.D. Acceptable.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Many schools are controlled by cliques.B. Cliques can benefit teens in certain ways.C. Teens in cliques are likely to behave badly.D. Teens can deal with peer pressure properly.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. brief introduction to cliquesB. Bonds of friendship in cliquesC. The reasons why cliques formD. The dangers of cliques to teensDIn the past 70 years, physical activity in America has transformed from necessity of daily life into an often-expensive leisure activity. As a concept ,fitness was a response to the flourishing(繁荣的),sidewalk-free postwar American suburbs and what the fitness pioneer Bonnie Prudden named “the tyranny(专横) of the wheel”: Americans went from strollers to school buses to cars, stripping out much of the on-foot transportation that had long characterized life in cities or on farms. "In the 1950s and 1960s, the body became a problem, and exercise developed because people realized that we were all going to die of heart attacks," said Shelly McKenzie, the author of Getting Physical: The Rise of Fitness Culture in America.With new middle-class needs came new marketing. Jack Lalanne's instructional exercise TV show introduced much of the country to the active pursuit(追求) of physical fitness in 1951, paving the way for workout tapes from fitness stars such as Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. In the 1970s, exercise began to leave the home, both through the popularization of jogging and weightlifting and in more organized ways, such as Jazzercise classes. The American fitness market has been developing well ever since, absorbing things such as yoga and ballet and creating whole new workouts, such as step aerobics(阶梯有氧).Gyms, too, have flourished. There's now a gym for almost everyone with 10 bucks a month to spare, from the inexpensive Planet Fitness, which offers its members low-pressure environment and a monthly free-pizza night, to Equinox, the ultra-expensive chain that offers high-end skin-care products in its locker rooms.No matter how they package it, these businesses aren't just selling physical activity. "Exercise, and especially public exercise, came to mean mental emotional, and even spiritual health and goodness," Marc Stern, historian at Bentley University, wrote in 2008. In return for the effort, gym-goers attain the type of body that proves their good qualities to all who see them.In some ways, though, the desire to return to the gym is as much about the presence of others as it is about a focus on the self. "A lot of people who are missing the gym are not just missing exercise, but they're missing having another institution in their social life,"Petrzela, the New School professor, who is working on a book about fitness's place in American culture, said. There's a certain pleasure in being a regular somewhere, no matter where it is. Some people have regained some social interactions as certain types of local businesses have reopened.I, for one, can't quite account for the level of excitement I felt when I first saw Beatrice, my favorite waiter at my favorite place, when the restaurant finally reopened. For some people, their Beatrice is at the gym. "A lot of us really come to enjoy particular instructor,McKenzie noted.The minute the gym closes, you don't see that person who may have been tremendously influential in your life.”Even if those instructors have been teaching online classes to bridge the gap, the connection just isn't the same.12. What may "the tyranny of the wheel" refer to?A. Many traffic accidents happened every day.B. Americans were unwilling to travel on foot.C. Cars were people's only means of transport.D. Americans regarded cars as a status symbol.13. How did Americans pursue physical fitness in the 1970s?A. By turning to fitness stars for help.B. By doing outdoor physical activities.C. By watching instructional TV shows.D. By joining part-time training courses.14. What do gym-goers mainly want to do in gyms?A. To handle serious health problems.B. To present a positive public image.C. To reduce their pressure in daily life.D. To show off their high social position.15. Why do some people desire to return to the gym?A. To take charge of local businessesB. To receive professional instructionC. To keep social contact with people.D. To take deep pleasure in exercising.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful andmysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.4. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands?A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.5. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.A. her own way to find herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her growing desire to know the world around herD. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules6. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world7. What could be the best title for the passage?A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManCIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football,basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.8. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.9. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B. They will become more gifted and talented .C. They may expand their knowledge in drama.D. They may better know their own interests.10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. The Benefits of V.P.I.S. ActivitiesB. School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C. Colleges Need Creative StudentsD. Activities Make You Creative11. Where is the passage probably from?A. A scientific magazine.B. A college application guideline.C. A club introduction.D. The website of V.P.I.S.DSpain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-endmarket, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55he said.Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.12. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.13. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.D. They will spend the money in different cities.14. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.D. More shopping sites are constructed.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.B. To show Spain's desire to attract Chinese tourists.C. To describe the features of Chinese tourists.D. To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIf you're too busy to buy the latest issues of your favorite magazines,never fear-help is at hand.With digital subscriptions available from My Favourite Magazines,you can get every issue straight to your tablet or cellphone.Below are some fantastic monthly magazines you can enjoy today.How It Works is a magazine with exciting facts about our world.Each issue is packed with interesting facts and stories on everything from science,technology and transport,to the environment and history.With easy-to-follow diagrams,fun trivia(花絮)and all the vital answers to questions you didn't even realize you had,it cures boredom and feeds curious minds.$2.5 per issue(standard price:$3.5).Have you found yourself staring up at the stars in awe?All about Space discovers the mysteries of our Solar System and beyond.From the amazing technology and spacecraft that enables humans to venture(冒险) into orbit,to the complexities of space science,the All about Space team has you covered.$2.6 per issue(standard price:$3.7).History of War takes you through the stories,strategies,heroes and machines of armed conflict through the ages.Each issue covers some of the most astonishing and inspiring stories from battlefields across the centuries,including powerful interviews with soldiers and expert analyses from leading historians.$2.7 per issue(standard price:$3.8).From the plots of ancient Rome,to the scandals(丑闻)of the Tudor Court and heroic tales from World War II-All about History takes you on a journey across the centuries,and leaves in all the drama and entertainment our attractive past has to offer.Each issue is full of valuable pictures and interesting stories written by historians.$2.8 per issue(standard price:$4).21.How much can it save you to subscribe the first magazine for a year?A.2.5 dollars.B.3.5 dollars.C.6 dollars.D.12 dollars.22.Which of the following can satisfy astronomy lovers?A.How It Works.B.All about Space.C.History of War:D.All about History.23.What is special about All about History?A.It interviews soldiers from World War II.B.It is the cheapest of the four magazines.C.It tells many historical stories over the centuries.D.It solves the questions you're puzzled at.BMany of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers,whether on our daily commute(上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe.But most of them remain just that-strangers.However,new evidence has shown that plucking up(鼓起)the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health.Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioral(行为的)scientists.They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers,or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections.They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation"we consistently underestimate(低估)how much a new person likes us." It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn't want to talk with us.Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that"every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat."From this and other research,the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our well-being.It's true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.However,if you're an introvert(性格内向者),the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious.But the American research found"both extroverts(性格外向者)and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner."So maybe,if you're a loner,it's time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.24.What does the underlined word"solitude"in paragraph 2 mean?A.Being calm.B.Being pleasant.C.Being alone.D.Being healthy.25.Why might we not want to speak to a stranger?A.Because we don't trust a new person.B.Because we can't find a common topic.C.Because we like distant social connections.D.Because we feel the stranger may dislike us.26.What could help start a new friendship?A.Making a small talk.B.Sitting next to a stranger.C.Sharing personal details.D.Behaving in polite manner.27.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.How to be an extrovert.B.Talking to strangers.C.How to speak to strangers.D.Making new friends.C"I have cancer."Mom said and held me in a tight hug.I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry butfailed.For all of my twenty-four years,my mom had been supportive.Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me.Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.Mom didn't stay down for long.After the shock of breast-cancer,she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors.She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物)with longnames as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school."The not-knowing is the worst."she said.The operation was successful.The chemo(化疗)was the harder part.I went with Mom to every chemotreatment.She rarely complained,though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one.She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills,even though she never wore nail polish."Cancer can take my hair,my nails,my health,my very life.But it can't take my smile."Mom said.Mom learned to share her fears with me,and it formed an even deeper bond between us.Yet I am certain there were fears she didn't share because she was still protecting me-worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours,she would just joke about the cancer.Mom always said,"When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it,you take away some of its power."Mom was one of the lucky ones.She did beat her cancer,though not without scars.From her,I've learned I may not get to choose what I face,but I do get to choose how I face it.28.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.There were other ways to treat cancer.B.Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.C.Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.D.I should be the one being there for Mom.29.Which of the following words can best describe Mom?A.Humorous and generous.B.Considerate and ambitious.C.Optimistic and determined.D.Caring and knowledgeable.30.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A.The fear Mom shared with me.B.The ways Mom faced fear.C.The jokes Mom told me.D.The bond Mom and I formed.31.What lesson did the author learn from Mom?A.Luck counts in beating diseases.plaint does no good to one's health.C.Positive attitudes get one through hardships.D.Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.DThough leaders from the International Olympic Committee(IOC)have announced a first-of-its-kind postponement of the Tokyo Summer Olympics because of the corona virus epidemic,people all over the world are still concerned about its preparations.Officials from the Tokyo Olympic Committee say they are sparing no effort and announce the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 is going green.The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be"sustainable”-to avoid using too many natural resources,so that the games are easy on the environment.As part of this goal,the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of"precious metals",like gold and silver.But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge.That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny.It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just l kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017,the organizers placed collection boxes around the country,and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices.Soon people began to respond to the initiative(倡导),turning in smart phones,digitalcameras,handheld games,and laptops.At first,collection went slowly,but soon more and more areas began to take part.By the end,1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces.After eing taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted(熔炼)to get all the gold,silver,and bronze elements.This is a tricky job, which callsfor careful attention and good skill.It's also dangerous,because some of the metals and other thingsaren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March,2019,the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold,4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze.And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.32.What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?A.They are hugely valuable.B.They are of high quality.C.They are made from e-waste.D.They are designed uniquely.33.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.The difficulty of making the medals.B.The initiative to recycle used smart phones.C.The classification of the collected devices.D.The process of collecting old electronics.34.The underlined word"tricky"in Paragraph 5 means"A.creativeB.demandingC.well-paidD.time-consuming35.What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A.To advocate sustainable use of resources.B.To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.C.To introduce a new technique to make medals.D.To show the gravity of environmental damage.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,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
