It is our duty to learn English in the new situation of the reform and opening(改革开放) to the outside world. How can we master the English language? I’d like to give you some good advice.First, get interested in it. I enjoy listening to foreign friends talking when I was a child. At the same time I watched the English programme Follow Me on TV. From then on, I kept on learning English. The more I learned, the more progress I made.Second, practice makes perfect. Many people study English very hard, but they are very shy to speak it in public, for they are afraid of making mistakes. Remember you have to make a mistake before you can correct it. A native English speaker makes mistakes sometimes, too. So don’t be afraid of making mistakes. You should practise listening and speaking as much as possible, which is the most important aspect in English study.Third, the beginners should be encouraged to pay attention to idioms. The English language has many idioms. For example, you should say “ He is as strong as a cow.”36. The writer wants to tell us ____________.A. the importance of learning EnglishB. the new situation of the reform and opening to the outside worldC. some good ideas on how to master EnglishD. the wide use of the English language37.

One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants sit down with peer mediators(同龄调解者). Peer mediators are students with special training in this kind of problems.Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way.

Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talkdifficult.6.Try to find a result that makes both people happy.Peer mediators never decide the result or the winner.

2020-2021学年重庆市万州中学高三英语月考试卷及答案
2020-2021学年重庆市万州中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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AMy mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D. To praise the friendship between Martha and his mother.BMany teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.4. What is the text mainly about?A. What causes teens’ nervousness.B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.C. What a view of life means to people.D. How to treat social media appropriately.5. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Wonderful.B. Encouraging.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.6. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A. To draw teachers’ attention.B. To show teachers’ mental problems.C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.D. To show adults have more problems than teens.7. What should parents do to help their children out?A. Try to meet their expectations.B. Help them with their homework.C. Give them more free time to play sports.D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.CMichele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla，a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.''My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a ''suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative, While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解),is a major concern for environmentalists.Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.8. What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?A. To sell more coffee and books.B. To attract more customers.C. To collect money for a new project.D. To inspire reading and recycling.9. How did Gentile come up with the idea?A. Working with a school to recycle cans.B. Seeing school kids don't like reading.C. Donating books for a local school.D. Buying a “suspended” book for a child.10. Who pay for the books of the project?A. The local government.B. Gentile himself.C. Some publishers.D. His customers.11. Whichof the following is the best title for the text?A. An Italian's Reading InitiativeB. Recycling Can Get Kids Free BooksC. Michele's Way of Doing BusinessD. A New Way to Deal with Plastic WasteDIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.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。

Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.（1）Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?A.The countryside is much poorer than the city.B.Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.C.People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.D.People in the countryside have nothing to eat.（2）Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?A.Because they will find good jobs.B.Because they can make more money there.C.Because they are tired of living in the city.D.Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.（3）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows ________.A.they miss their friends in the countrysideB.they are happy to move back to the cityC.they still want to move to the countrysideD.they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city（4）The best title of this passage may be "________".A.A happy life!B.Living in the city!C.Moving out or moving back?D.Living in the countryside!3.There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean（地中海）has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts（度假胜地）and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.（1）Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ________.A.they wish to escape from the cold and darknessB.they want to see some famous historic sitesC.they would like to take pictures in front of famous placesD.they are interested in different cultural and social customs（2）According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A.Rainy weather.B.Crowded buses.C.Polluted water.D.Traffic jams.（3）The underlined part in paragraph 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" suggests ________.A.all the 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB.every person living in Spain has to take care of a touristC.there are a large number of tourists visiting SpainD.every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.People travel for different reasons.B.Travelling causes a lot of problems.C.Europeans are fond of travelling.D.Northern Europeans travel for "sun".4.If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs（00后）. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They thinkof you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies（自拍）to become successfulin real life—or "IRL", as you would say?Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt（宠坏的）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents" who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic（热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8（great）and LOL（laugh out loud）.（1）What's the best title of the passage?A.The future generationB.The young generationC.The generation gapD.The face-down generation（2）What does "helicopter parents" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Parents who prefer to live like teenagersB.Parents who often fly everywhere for their businessC.Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their childrenD.Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extra-curricular activities（3）Today's teenagers are thought of as the face-down generation because ________.A.They use their phones a lotB.They are busy textingC.They deal with school and family with their phonesD.They become successful with their phones（4）What does the writer think about the face-down generation?A.They are annoyed.B.They are positive.C.They are spoilt.D.They are powerful.二、七选五阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was the rolling countryside north of where I live, near the little town of Manson.The geography here is dry but lower, wider, and full of rolling hills. The area miles into the distance towards the East. It seems like a very rural, mainly uninhabited（杳无人烟的）area, but actually, as you explore, you quickly realize that there are houses even in the most remote looking areas, little pockets of human life here and there.I think that people who live in these areas are either retired, working remotely from home, or really need the peace and energy that the quiet countryside can give.over the car. Of all things it was a peacock （孔雀）What on earth was it doing in this remote area？It seemed really out of place. It flew from one side of the road to the hill on the other, joining eight others that were already there, enjoying the sun. Their colors were brilliant. And yes, they seemed more comfortable in that area than in palace gardens. They are, after all, very much like pheasants （野鸡）just much more beautiful. Someone nearby must have attended them. I could only see one female；of course she wasn't as beautiful to look at as the males .Her feather was much more like the grass and rocks of her surroundings.These little day trips always seem to bring surprises, even in remote areas. There is always something that will prove to be unexpected.4、How was the area that the author explored?A. It was a rural but busy area.B. It was an area without human life existing.C. It was dry but lower, wider, and full of visitors.D. It was an area of hills near the little town of Manson.5、What does "a flash of color" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. A peacock.B. The sunlight.C. The car.D. A pheasant.6、How many peacocks did the author see?A.One.B. Eight.C.Nine.D. Eleven.7、What can we learn about the peacocks?A. They must be raised by human.B. They suited more to palace gardens.C. They showed great interest in the car.D. Female peacocks are more beautiful than male ones.Change happens to any language. New vocabulary is often required for the latest inventions or ideas. But a language can also change for reasons that are not clear.Language changes whenever speakers communicate with each other. People from different places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small community, people speak differently depending on their age, origin, and social and educational background. When we communicate with these different speakers, in different situations, we hear new words and expressions, and can make them a part of our own speech. Even if your family has lived in the same area for generations, you can probably see a number of differences between the language you use and the way your grandparents speak.During the 18th century, Jonathan Swift, the Irish writer, and many other people felt the English language was in serious fall and that a national organization — like those in France and Italy — should be created to save the language. Swift once wrote that we should find a way to conclude any change of our language.More experts believe that change in language is unavoidable(不可避免). Change is a way of keeping a language alive and useful, and gives speakers different ways of saying things with extremely small differences of meaning and ways of expressing completely new ideas.In 1747, Samuel Johnson wrote about his desire to write a dictionary that would fix the pronunciation of English and keep it pure. But when he completed the dictionary ten years later, he admitted in his introduction that fixing a language was impossible. Like it or not, language is always changing and English will go on doing so in many creative and —to some people — annoying ways.8、What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Some people learn to speak better than others.B. The youth learn much about language from their grandparents.C. Language changes little if people stay in the same place.D. Language change is greatly influenced by people.9、What is Jonathan Swift’s attitude to language change?A. unsupportiveB. indifferentC. favorable.D. unavoidable.10、Why did Samuel Johnson decide to write a dictionary?A. To create some new English words.B. To keep English from changing.C. To include some words from daily life.D. To record the changes in English.11、What would be the best title for the text?A. Does language change influence society?B. Written English needs standards.C. Why does language change?D. How to protect the language.For those who get angry when they miss out on lunch, it may be the perfect excuse: a lack of food makes bearable people “angry”.In one of the first studies to explore how hunger affects emotions (情绪)as people go about their daily lives, psychologists found that the more hungry people felt, the more angry they became, which is called hangry .The study came about after Prof. Viren Swami, a social psychologist at Anglia Ruskin University, was told, on more than one occasion, that he was hangry and should do something about it. The challenge left him wondering if being hangry was a real phenomenon (现象).Working with researchers in Austria and Malaysia, Swami recruited (招募) 64 adults aged 18 to 60 to record their emotions and feelings of hunger five times a day for three weeks. While the relationship between hunger and emotions has been studied in labs, the volunteers monitored their feelings as they went about their daily routines. Swami found being hangry is a real thing.The study does not give any solutions, but Swami believes that being able to recognize the emotion can itself be of help, formally, we might be aware of what we are feeling but not understand the cause of it. But it doesn't matter at all. The study actually opens a door to further understand that.” he said.Regardless of the mechanism, Swami believes the study raises a serious point: children who go hungry to school are less likely to learn effectively, and more likely to have behavioral problems, so ensuring pupils are properly fed must be a priority. “It’s really important to be able to identify emotions like being hangry so we can reduce the negative effects,” he said.12、What caused Prof. Viren Swami to do the study?A. His competition with his colleagues.B. His academic and research pursuits.C. The biggest challenge in psychology.D. The fact that he might suffer from hangry.13、What can we know about the study?A. Its importance is beyond doubt.B. It put forward some practical solutions.C. Its participants included children and adults.D. It explained why people could control their emotions.14、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We’d better encourage children to stay positive.B. It*s important to help children get rid of negative emotions.C. Children going hungry to school are more likely to perform worse.D. Educators should pay more attention to children’s learning methods.15、Where can you read the text probably?A. In a diary.B. In a biology bookC. In a novel.D. In a science magazine.二、七选五16、Keep a DiaryIn this IT age, diaries still have a huge following. Here you can be completely honest, and protect your privacy.

2020-2021学年重庆市万州第二中学高三英语月考试题及答案
2020-2021学年重庆市万州第二中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AMy Biggest ChallengeAs a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’dalways fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless.1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______.A. disappointment in the coming adventure.B. expectation of writing about his experience.C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered.D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity.2. What did the author realise during his climb training?A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing.B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak.C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected.D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain?A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again.B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it.C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it.D.He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.BIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facialexpressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them."

NatureCIn Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.8. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _________.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers9. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. They don’t want to lose their retirement benefits.B. They are not adaptable people.C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. They get used to the teamwork.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twiceB. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workersC. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexibleD. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system11. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.DThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has anupside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.12. Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.B. People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.13. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Advantage.B. Reason.C. Character.D. Challenge.14. What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Uncaring.15. The passage can probably be found in ______.A. A primary school textbookB. A tourist guideC. A sports magazineD. A scientific report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。

teachers said that older teenagers were especially likely to miss out,because the time spent on physical education for14-16-year-olds had fallen in the past five years.Teachers said that increased pressure to produce exam results was leading to children being pulled out of PE lessons.One in three said exam pressures were behind the decline,and they said subjects such as English and Maths had been given more time at the cost of PE.Almost all of the teachers from the487schools said PE should be more valued for its advantages to young people.Mental health experts also warned that cutting down on exercise could increase children's mental health problems.Cal Strode,spokesman for the Mental Health Foundation,said cutting PE time would be"short-sighted and dangerous".He said,"It is worrying to hear that PE is being cut at a time when students are facing problems with stress and anxiety in increasing numbers.There's a close relationship between mental and physical health."Tom Madders,director of campaigns at charity Young Minds,said,"Schools'cutting down on physical education because of exam pressures is worrying.Schools that value health also do better in study,so it makes sense to keep good health,rather than putting children under more pressure."Rising exam stress has been raised as a problem by experts who warn that children are under greater pressure because of a competitive jobs market.Ali Oliver,an expert,said,"The PE is good for physical and mental health.So cutting down physical education time is depriving young people of these advantages at a time when they need them most."24.What do we know about the text?A.Schools that value health do worse in study.B.Children in the UK have serious mental problems.C.Many teachers don't realize the importance of PED.Good physical health is good for mental health.25._______said that Cutting PE time would be"short-sighted and dangerous".A.The teachers in the UK.B.Cal StrodeC.Tom MaddersD.Ali Oliver26.According to the text,the exam pressure is from______.A.parents'expectationsB.poor mental healthC.future workD.schools'requirements27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The importance of physical educationB.Teachers'support of getting more PE timeC.The serious problems of education in the UKD.Schools'cutting down PE time for exam pressureCMost heroes are not super.They don’t appear in comic books,on television,or in movies.They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place.Bike Batman is one of them.Bike Batman is a30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle,Washington.He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago,he was looking for a bike for his wife.He found one on Craigslist,a website where people list things they want to sell.As he often does,he also looked at Bike Index,a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken.The bike,which he was considering buying,clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.Then he called the person who claimed(声称)to be the bike’s owner and arranged(安排)to meet him—supposedly to complete the sale.When the two men met,Bike Batman told the thief,“You’ve got two options.You can wait until a police officer gets here,or you can just get out of here.”You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success,Bike Batman developed safer steps.When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist,he compares the bikes with those reported on Bike Index.Once he has made sure about it with the owner,he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can take part in the action.In more than half of the22cases in which he has got back and returned bikes,the thieves have been arrested(逮捕).His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called“Robin Hood”.Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor,“Batman”seemed moresuitable for him.The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him,but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.28.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?A.To explain what is a superhero.B.To encourage citizens to catch bike thieves.C.To introduce a hero in Seattle.D.To show how badly the police perform their duties.29.What can we infer from paragraph2?A.Bike Batman doesn’t like online shopping.B.The thief refused to return the bike.C.The police failed to catch the thief.D.Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident.30.What will Bike Batman do first when he discovers a questionable bike?A.To contact the owner of the stolen bike.B.To surf the Internet for more information of the bike.C.To call the police department immediately.D.To arrange to meet the thief at once.31.What kind of person do the underlined words“Robin Hood”in the last paragraph refer to?A.A superhero who always punishes criminals.B.A clever person who is good at buying and selling bikes.C.A heroic person who likes robbing the rich to help the poor.D.Someone who hates the rich and is friendly to the poor.DIf you grew up watching the kid’s television channel Nickelodeon,you will probably understand that there is nothing greater than enjoying its special bright green slime(水晶泥).The week of May11, astronauts(宇航员)aboard the International Space Station(ISS)joined the slime.Nickelodeon sent two kilos of its green slime into space in the summer of2019.The Slime in Space project’s idea was to create an educational trip for teachers to use in class.The green slime was also used to guide astronauts through a series of experiments that were designed to learn more about how slime acts in microgravity.Researchers from Portland State University(PSU)were excited to design the experiments for the project.Mark Weislogel and his partner designed eight shows for NASA astronauts and European Space Agency astronaut aboard to perform.If you’re wondering what we could hope to learn from sending slime into space,the answer lies in its very name.Slime is slimy.This is because it is a liquid that is thicker than liquids like water.This makes slime act in unexpected ways in the microgravity of the ISS.Improving our understanding ofhow thicker liquids act in space may help us improve the design of systems that something were designed with Earth’s gravity in mind.“Interestingly,we consider liquid on Earth as that takes the shape of its container,”Koch tells CNN.“Water just turns into a ball in microgravity,so we’ve had to have a new understanding of different kinds of matter in space.This experiment shows how microgravity can help us understand things on Earth,especially the things we take for granted.”32.In paragraph one,Nickelodeon is mentioned.A.to introduce the topicB.to attract the kidsC.to make advertisementsD.to share a TV show33.Why are the experiments with slime designed in space?A.Because they get students interested in space.B.Because they help us understand how slime acts in microgravity.C.Because slime is popular with kids in the TV show.D.Because slime takes the shape of its container.34.What is Koch’s attitude towards the experiment with slime?A.Confused.B.Worried.C.Positive.D.Uninterested.35.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Microgravity makes a difference to matters.B.Astronauts join the slime in space for science.C.Kids join the slime so as to become astronauts.D.Experiments are designed with slimy slime.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两处为多余选项。
