Second, I was a part-time reporter in junior middle school, which developed my communication and interpersonal skills. In addition, my father is a professional editor, by whom I have been deeply influenced and from whom I have learned a lot.I really hope I will be one of you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours,Li Hua 听力原文(Text 1)W: I really think if I can get my foot in the door at this company it will do wonders for my career. Do you think you can polish my interview materials?M: Sure.W: You know, I’ve researched the company and I think I’m perfect for the job but I’m just not sure how to get it.M: Well, the most important thing is that you have to have confidence in the interview.Bosses look for people who are interested, enthusiastic and sure of themselves.W: I know I have what it takes, but I’m worried that my work experience won’t be enough.Do you think I should lie about my experience?M: No, you should always be honest about your weaknesses. However, by focusing on your strong points and keeping a positive attitude about your abilities, you can take the attention off your lack of experience.Questions:1. What does the woman want the man to do?2. What does the man think is the most important in an interview?(Text 2)November 11 i s now the world’s largest online shopping day. On November 11, 2014, the country’s biggest online shopping company, Alibaba, had more than 35 million yuan in sales—a worldwide record for a single day.Alibaba, which owns Taobao and Tmall, first set up the unofficial holiday five years ago. The company realized single people might find comfort and happiness in buying electronic equipment and other products online. Soon, just about everyone else did, too. Now November 11 has become the most important day in a year for shoppers, whether they are single or married.At the same time, Chinese are also doing an increasing amount of shopping on their mobile phones, which is not surprising considering the increasing sales of smart phones. In the first hour of sales, from midnight to 1 am, Alibaba said 24 percent of the orders came from smart phones.Chinese customers are expected to spend 290 million dollars in online shopping. Bain, a global consulting company, expects online shopping in China to grow at a rate of 32 percent from 2014 to 2014. “Chinese customers are bargain hunters, and that is what is driving the success of November 11,” said Serge Hoffmann, a partner at Bain in Hong Kong. Questions:3. How many orders came from smart phones in the first hour of sales that day?4. What is Bain?(Text 3)W: HI, Bob, is everything okay?M: More or less. There is just one thing bothering me, though.W: Oh? What’s that?M: Well, I have some students studying for their master’s degree. One of them tried to give me a gift, which made me uneasy.W: What gift?M: It’s an Egyptian carpet. The student came to my home a week ago, yeah, last Saturday, and brought the carpet to show his thanks. Seeing what kind of gift it was, I was really uncomfortable. I mean it’s too expensive a gift for a student to give a professor, so I refused it.W: You refused the gift? That’s terrible.M: I know, but I really can’t accept such an expensive gift. I explained to him why, but he seemed really upset about it. I think he might have taken it the wrong way.W: Perhaps. He probably thinks you considered the gift a bridge for a higher grade.M: That’s what I am worried about. I do understand the respect attached with the gift and I am honored. But I think we need to have a talk to make sure we are on the same page. Questions:5. What made the man uneasy?6. How did the student feel after the man explained to him?(Text 4)My mother told me I had been weak in hearing at the age of 5. Putting on hearing aids in the morning was just as normal as brushing my teeth. However, I never believed that it should limit my success in any way.I have been looked down upon because of my hearing disability. My head teacher told my parents I belonged in a school for the deaf. My classmates told me something was wrong with my brain. People speak louder than usual when they see my hearing aids in my ears. However, my hearing disability has made me a stronger person. I have had to workharder and achieve better grades in school than other students in order to earn the respect of my teachers. In sports, I have had to run faster, hit harder, catch better and score more points to prove I’m not physically limited. I consider myself no different from anyone else. Through struggle I want to prove I am better than the average teenagers.I truly believe I would not be the strong person I am today if I did not have my physical limitation and courage.7. When did the speaker’s hearing disability happen?8. Why has the speaker long been looked down?9. What does the speaker want to prove?10. What makes the speaker a strong person?。

Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction?A．Tour A B．Tour BC．Tour C D．Tour DA．Windsor Castle & Hampton Court B．Oxford & StratfordC．Bath & Stonehenge D．CambridgeA．It used to be the home of royal families B．It used to be a well-known mazeC．It is the oldest palace in Britain D．It is a world-famous castleArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trashcan(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith andtrust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.14 . What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney? 15 . The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_________. 16 . What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragrap h mean?17 . Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Go shopping B．Find a houseC．Join his family D．Take a vacationA．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in SydneyA．Showed B．Sent outC．Delivered D．Gave backA．From India to Australia.B．Living in a New CountryC．Turning Trash to Treasure.D．In Search of New Friends.Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as even when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.18 . What is the main idea of paragraph 1? 19 . The author explains the law of overlearningby_________. 20 . According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______. 21 . What is the author's opinion on cramming?A．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C．People remember well what they learned in childhood.D．Stories for children are easy to remember.A．presenting research findings B．setting down general rules C．making a comparison D．using examplesA．a result of overlearning B．a special case of crammingC．a skill to deal with math problems D．a basic step towards advanced studies A．It leads to failure in college exams.B．It's helpful only in a limited way.C．It's possible to result in poor memory.D．It increases students' learning interest. Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where th ey have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.22 . In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola? 23 . This text is mainly the relationship between _________. 24 . The text is mainly developed __________. 25 . Where does this text probably come from?A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.A．Americans and the French B．life style and obesityC．children and adults D．fast food and overweightA．by contrast B．by spaceC．by process D．by classificationA．A TV interview B．A food advertisementC．A health report D．A book review五、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。

2023-2024学年广东省佛山市顺德区第一中学高二上学期期中考试英语试题Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers. The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. That’s right - during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. “Running at an amazing pace,” Cassidy told Runner’s World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, “Help! He took my phone and laptop!”At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot (赃物) in a backyard.No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they’d seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site - and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush and right into the arms of campus police, who’d joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. “Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,” Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.”1. Why do the group members gather together?A．To do some stretching. B．To have a regular run.C．To deliver a lecture. D．To cover some topics.2. We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to ______.A．the assistance of the runners B．the owner of the row houseC．the campus police on patrol D．the joint efforts of the people3. Which of the following best describes Cassidy?A．Athletic and generous. B．Courageous and ambitious.C．Helpful and humorous. D．Thoughtful and demanding.In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas weproduce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let's say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.4. What is the text mainly about?A．What appliances to buy to save energy.B．What a carbon footprint means in our life.C．How to identify different carbon footprints.D．How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.5. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?A．It is related to our consumption of fuels.B．It is made when we are buying the products.C．It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.D．It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.6. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?A．Using second-hand textbooks. B．Using old and expensive cars.C．Buying new but cheap clothes. D．Buying new wooden furniture.7. "The footprint" underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _________.A．using the product B．recycling the productC．making the product D．transporting the productResearchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another witha“vocabulary”of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they intentionally sent a message to another group member.“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the onl y thing that looks like human language in that respect.”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices deliberately to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signal ling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother’s back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species out there that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.“The unclearness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,”shesaid.“Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”8. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?A．Memorizing specific words. B．Understanding complex information.C．Using voices to communicate. D．Communicating messages on purpose. 9. What did Dr Shultz think of the study?A．It was well designed but poorly conducted.B．It was a good try but the findings were limited.C．It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D．It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.10. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB．Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC．Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD．Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

Second, in terms of the tipping system, it’s better for them to leave 10% of the bill for the waiter or waitress while we don’t have to do so. What’s more, in order to encourage more people to use the same car together, the government sets up Carpool Lane for cars with two or more passengers, which helps them avoid traffic jams. However, in Foshan we are lucky to have the Green Lane, specially (designed) for bicycles.I have to stop here. Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua 附：听力文本第一节听力理解Text 1W: Hello.

Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go to work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied, but his excuse was not very believable. Another time he gave up a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to clean his car. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Bill offered the poorest excuse yet.He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture from my parents’house to my new apartment. He was supposed to br ing his truck over about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. I waited and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tir es put on his truck. I guess he’d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need some new friends because I’m tired of Bill.7.Question 1When did Bill call and lie to his boss?8.Question 2What did Bill tell his girl friend he had to do when he didn’t want to meet her?9.Question 3What did Bill promise to help the speaker to do?10.Question 4Why does the speaker think he needs some new friends?第三节听取信息Last Friday, the Senior 3 students in No. 2 Middle School had a discussion about whether they should have classes on weekends.25%of them think they should have classes on weekends because the college entrance examinations this year will be held in June, and students should make full use of their free time to review what they have learnt.Another 35% are against the idea of having classes on weekends. They believe students should take time to relax on weekends so that they can study more effectively during the week.The rest of the students don’t agree with either of the ideas above. In their opinion, study and rest are both important for students. They suggest that one day of the weekend should be used to study and the other day they should rest.。

2019-2020学年佛山市第一中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AThe Fall 2020 Cookbooks Worth Your Time (and Money)Be My GuestFrom Priya Basil, this book is a self-reflection on how food and the act of serving it are used to express love and support. Basil reflects on some of her earliest memories of food and how it affected her upbringing and relationship with her parents. Now a parent herself, she centers food in her book's exploration of that change of identity.EastFrom Guardian columnist Meera Sodha comes a cookbook centered on vegetables. The book features recipes that cover a variety of Asian cuisines. Sodha showcases the diversity of vegetarian cooking with dishes like eggplant larb mushroom bao, Singapore noodles and so much more.I Cook in ColorA follow-up from her first cookbook My Two Souths, Asha Gomez focuses on the rainbow of vegetables to create desserts and cross-cultural dishes that associate cooking traditions of her mother's Keralite kitchen and Gomez's travel experiences.Time to EatIf you're a fan of The Great British Baking Show and Nadiya Hussain's Netflix series, you'll be just as excited for the American release of this book of time-saving tips for home cooks on a budget. It's a book to go to for inspiration that doesn't involve countless hours of sweating over a hot stove.1.What can we learn about the author ofBe My Guest?A.She had a bad relationship with her parents.B.She began to cook food in her early childhood.C.She considers food a means of expressing affection.D.She explores in the book how to be a grandparent.2.What do theEastandI Cook in Colorhave in common?A.They offer recipes about Asian cuisines.B.They center on cooking vegetables.C.They are the author's first cookbooks.D.They are based on the author's travel experiences.3.Which book can you refer toif you just have limited time for cooking?A.Be My Guest.B.East.C.I Cook in Color.D.Time to Eat.BHave you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to5℃on these hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, look a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile dial can absorb body heat and re-emit its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as theirs,” old Yaoguang said.So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be corning to an end!4. What is the purpose of the new invention?A. To warm up people's body.B. To cool people off in hot weather.C. To detect the wearers' temperature.D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.5. How does the special product work?A. By turning sunlight into energy.B. By sending out absorbed heat.C. By keeping heat out completely.D. By using light color1 s to reflect sunlight.6. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A. The invention needs further testing.B. The previous studies lack evidence.C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.D. The new fabric applies to various situations.7. The invention of the T-shirt may hean example of ________.A. barking up the wrong treeB. robbing Peter to pay PaulC. killing two birds with one stoneD. pulling the cart before the horseCBritish sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work — The Underwater Museum of Cannes.―The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.‖The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.―The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense ofcare and protection,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.8. Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?A. To popularize the features of the locals.B. To remind people to protect themselves.C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.9. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the project was started.B. How the sea grass was restored.C. What recovery effort the project made.D. Why the surroundings were improved.10. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.11. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.B. The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.C. The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.D. The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.DIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”12.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.14.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?A. Safety.B. Consequence.C. Wisdom.D. Health.15.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.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。

When will the first bus leave?A. 11:30 amB. 12:30 pmC. 13:20 pmD. 14:40 pmBGerman carmaker Audi equipped some of its 2017 models in the United States with a new technology. The technology is known as V-to-I. Drivers will see a countdown on the car’s instrument panel (仪表板) to show when the traffic signal will turn green or red. The equipment was included on Audi’s Q7, A4 and A4 “Allroad” models built after June 1, 2016.The service began in 2016 in at least five “smart”American cities. The information comes from government agencies that collect data to predict traffic flow. A private company partners with government officials to send the data to cars.The countdown message goes away a few seconds before the light changes for safety. Pom Malhotra is the general manager of Audi’s connected cars division. He said the system was designed to provide drivers with a sense of ease and convenience. “A better informed driver means a less stressed driver,” an announcer said in an Audi video explaining the technology.The company said the idea was to let drivers know exactly the time left before a signal changes. It suggested they use the time to make sure other passengers are fine or monitor car operations.The technology raises the possibility that some drivers may use the vehicle’s countdown to talk on the telephone or send text messages. But Audi said it would never tell drivers to text while driving -- an activity that is illegal in almost all 50 states.The goal was to integrate traffic infrastructure (基础设施) with cars on many city roads. This would let traffic signals use the vehicle data to regulate traffic, suggest better driving paths, or suggest speeds needed to hit all green lights.4.What function does the new technology add to the car?A.Reminding drivers to monitor car operations.B.Preventing drivers phoning when driving.C.Providing information on traffic signals.D.Reporting traffic flow to government officials.5.Why does the countdown message disappear before the light changes?A.To avoid misleading drivers.B. To help drivers hit green lights.C. To provide the newest information.D. To make sure drivers focus on driving.6. How does the new system benefit drivers?A. Making driving safe.B. Making driving fun.C. Making drivers relaxed when driving.D. Making drivers have more spare time.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “integrate” in the last paragraph?A. Combine.B. Compare.C. Equip.D. Replace.C“Shake a leg” and “show a leg” are usually discussed together, but it isn’t at all clear how they are connected. Both phrases have more than one meaning.“Shake a leg”means “hurry up”according to the definition in the New York Magazine in 1904. Before that, “shake a leg” had another meaning, which was “to dance”. There are several quotations fromall kinds of American and British sources from the mid-19th century that are related to dancing. For example, the Dubuque Democratic Herald, October 1863, in an advertisement for a local ball: “Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.”“Show a leg” means either “make an appearance”, or it means “hurry up”. The second meaning isn’t commonly used, nor is it old. Whatever the source, it isn’t the original meaning of “show a leg”. Most commentators report that the phrase derives from the Royal Navy and that this was the order given to sailors to put a foot from their hammocks (吊床) and get up.The use of “show a leg” as a wake-up call is well documented. John Masefield (Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967) was a trainee mariner on HMS Conway until 1891. He reported the full version of the morning call as: “Heave out, heave out, heave out, heave out! Away! Come all you sleepers, Hey! Show a leg.” That’s the earliest quotation of the naval call I can find, although it may have been used well before 1891.An alternative version comes from the fact that women were allowed on board Royal Navy ships in the 19th century and that they were allowed to stay asleep after the sailors had been woken. In the morning the bosun’s mates (水手长助手) had to check whoever was still asleep and did so by requiring them to show a leg over the side of the hammock. If a leg was hairy, it was probably male and its owner was ordered to get up and begin work. Believe that if you will; personally, I don’t.All in all, although both of the two English slangs are sometimes used to mean “hurry up”, they are two independent phrases that were coined with different meanings.8.

She made it clear that this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,”she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to mostworkers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.12.Why did Lori make the call?A.She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B.She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C.She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D.She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.13.What impressed “me” most?A.Lori was good at running recruiting.B.Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C.Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D.Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.14.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B.None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C.Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D.A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.15.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to get promoted at work.B.

The technology is nown as V-to-I. Drivers will see a countdown on the car’s instrument panel (仪表板) to show when the traffic signal will turn green or red. The equipment was included on Audi’s Q7, A4 and A4 “Allroad” models built after June 1, 2016.The service began in 2016 in at least five “smart”American cities. The information comes from government agencies that collect data to predict traffic flow. A private company partners with government officials to send the data to cars.The countdown message goes away a few seconds before the light changes for safety. Pom Malhotra is the general manager of Audi’s connected cars division. He said the system was designed to provide drivers with a sense of ease and convenience. “A better informed driver means a less stressed driver,” an announcer said in an Audi video eplaining the technology.The company said the idea was to let drivers now eactly the time left before a signal changes. It suggested they use the time to mae sure other passengers are fine or monitor car operations.The technology raises the possibility that some drivers may use the vehicle’s countdown to tal on the telephone or send tet messages. But Audi said it would never tell drivers to tet while driving -- an activity that is illegal in almost all 50 states.The goal was to integrate traffic infrastructure (基础设施) with cars on many city roads. This would let traffic signals use the vehicle data to regulate traffic, suggest better driving paths, or suggest speeds needed to hit all green lights.4.What function does the new technology add to the car?A.Reminding drivers to monitor car operations.B.Preventing drivers phoning when driving.C.Providing information on traffic signals.D.Reporting traffic flow to government officials.5.Why does the countdown message disappear before the light changes?A.To avoid misleading drivers.B. To help drivers hit green lights.C. To provide the newest information.D. To mae sure drivers focus on driving.6. How does the new system benefit drivers?A. Maing driving safe.B. Maing driving fun.C. Maing drivers relaed when driving.D. Maing drivers have more spare time.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “integrate” in the last paragraph?A. Combine.B. Compare.C. Equip.D. Replace.C“Shae a leg”and “show a leg”are usually discussed together, but it isn’t at all clear how they are connected. Both phrases have more than one meaning.“Shae a leg” means “hurry up” according to the definition in the New Yor Magaine in 1904. Before that, “shae a leg” had another meaning, which was “to dance”. There are several quotations from all inds of American and British sources from the mid-19th century that are related to dancing. For eample, the Dubuque Democratic Herald, October 1863, in an advertisement for a local ball “Nearly every man in town able to shae a leg has purchased a ticet.”“Show a leg” means either “mae an appearance”, or it means “hurry up”. The second meaning isn’t commonly used, nor is it old. Whatever the source, it isn’t the original meaning of “show a leg”. Most commentators report that the phrase derives from the Royal Navy and that this was the order given to sailors to put a foot from their hammocs (吊床) and get up.The use of “show a leg”as a wae-up call is well documented. John Masefield (Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967) was a trainee mariner on HMS Conway until 1891. He reported the full version of the morning call as “Heave out, heave out, heave out, heave out! Away! Come all you sleepers, Hey! Show a leg.” That’s the earliest quotation of the naval call I can find, although it may have been used well before 1891.An alternative version comes from the fact that women were allowed on board Royal Navy ships in the 19th century and that they were allowed to stay asleep after the sailors had been woen. In the morning the bosun’s mates (水手长助手) had to chec whoever was still asleep and did so by requiring them to show a leg over the side of the hammoc. If a leg was hairy, it was probably male and its owner was ordered to get up and begin wor. Believe that if you will; personally, I don’t.All in all, although both of the two English slangs are sometimes used to mean “hurry up”, they are two independent phrases that were coined with different meanings.8. How many ways does the slang “show a leg” come from?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.9. In which sentence does “shae a leg” have a different meaning?A. I will shae a leg with him at the net ball with great pleasure.B. Nearly every man in town able to shae a leg has purchased a ticet.C. They wanted to shae a leg on a TV show.D. You must shae a leg to catch the last bus.10. What is the author’s attitude to the version mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the tet?A. To persuade readers to learn slangs seriously.B. To describe “shae a leg” and “show a leg”.C. To distinguish “shae a leg” and “show a leg”.D. To remar on “shae a leg” and “show a leg”.DAbout a month after I joined Faceboo, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of mareting at eBay.
