After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit herexcept for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. Thehiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job butthat, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture.

She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，”she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，”she says.

According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”She added, “Importantly, the caféisn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Caféonly represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p．m.to 3 p．m.until Friday.【解题导语】该文主要介绍了欧洲一家健身服务提供商发起的一项活动.5．Where does the uniqueness of the activity lie?A．In its excellence of service.B．In its widespread advertising.C．In its special way of payment.D．In its abundance of food choices.C解析：推理判断题.根据第二段的整体内容可知，顾客只要锻炼6分钟就可以得到免费的午餐，由此可推断，这种活动的独特之处在于午餐独特的付费形式，即以锻炼来付费，故选C.6．Why did the Run for Your Bun Caféhold the activity?A．To introduce healthy eating habits to office workers.B．To prove the benefits of being physically active.C．To help improve office workers’productivity.D．To encourage office workers’activity level.D解析：推理判断题.根据第三段的“The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday.”和“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”可知，这一活动的目的在于鼓励上班族多活动，不要久坐，故选D.7．What does the author think of the activity?A．It may have far－reaching influence.B．It should have attracted more people.C．It shouldn’t have been a temporary one.D．It could have been made more convenient.A解析：推理判断题.根据最后一段第一句可推知，作者认为活动虽然时间短，但具有开创性，可能在全球产生深远影响，故选A.Ⅱ七选五(2018·石家庄高中毕业班模拟)Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down.1.________ You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.·Read if you feel bored.Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you don’t like books.

Find out what’s on the other side of that lake.”可知，该空应该讲的是在本地走一走；D项的意思是“在你自己所在的城市进行一些探索”，符合文意，所以选D项.5．A解析：空处是该段的主题句，根据本段内容可知，作者建议去海滩、水上公园，因此本段讲的是怎么避暑，A项“Beat the heat.”的意思就是“避暑”，所以选A项.Ⅲ语法填空(2018·甘肃重点中学协作体高三第一次联考)China to Promote Traditional Opera in SchoolsChina’s central government has pledged(正式承诺) to promote traditional opera in schools.Primary schools, secondary schools, colleges 1.____________ universities will give students the opportunity 2.____________(watch) traditional opera free of charge in 2017, according to a guideline jointly 3.____________(issue) by the publicity department of the Communist Party of China and the ministries of culture, education and finance.

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·合肥调研性检测)The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

B(2018·浙江宁波模拟)With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program!The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language”. The first meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life or intelligence”. And it still has that meaning in some expressions.However, today, the word “ghost”usually means the soul of a dead person. This meaning is based on the idea that a person’s spirit and body are separate. The spirit can continue existing long after the body has died.During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very simple：just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance.
