Rhino．B. Leopard．C. Lion．D. Buffalo．BWhile staring out of the window during a flight，not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones．Over the years，aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology，meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster．The planes have also changed shape to increase safety-including the windows．As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century，airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density（密度）is lower up there，creating less drag（阻力）for airplanes．However，higher altitudes came with problems，like the fact human beings can't really survive at 30，000 feet．To make that possible，the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圆柱体）shape to support the pressure inside．But at first，plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster．The deHavillandComet came into fashion in the 1950s．With a closed cabin，it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft．However，where there's a corner，there's a weak spot．Windows，having four corners，have four potential weak spots，making them likely to crash under stress-such as air pressure．By curving the window，the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced．Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation（变形），and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft．Fortunately，designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick．Now we have nice，rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude．It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook，doesn't it？4.Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes？______A. To increase safety of the plane．B. To help the plane to take off．C. To save money for less drag．D. To carry more passengers and go faster．5.What does the underlined words "de Havilland Comet" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A planet．B. A band．C. An aircraft．D. A design．6.Which is the advantage of the rounded window？______A. It reduces the possibility of breaking up．B. It weakens the strength of air pressure．C. It increases the air pressure．D. It helps to survive the extreme weather．7.Where does this text come from？______A. A newspaper on safe driving．B. A magazine on fashion design．C. A website on survival skills．D. A science book on flying．CThe hemlock（铁杉）trees along the Wappinger Creek，New York，look healthy．However，scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect．It's hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree．However，trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests．When there are that many，it ends up killing the tree．The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive（入侵的）pests that have slipped into the United States．They can hurt other living things in their new home．Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers．They support and separate goods，and keep them from sliding around．Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets．How can we stop pests from riding on pallets？Lovett says new rules are needed．The companies that make pallets don't want more rules．Congress has added an amendment（修正案）in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem．However，Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference．Pallets are checked by inspectors．Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide．"I believe in the system，" said Brent McClendon，president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association．He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully．Still，each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U．S．Each is full of wooden pallets．Lovett says："Inspectors can't possibly check everything．All it takes are a few bad pallets；we should get rid of wooden pallets．" He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood．Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic．Insects cannot hide intoit．One problem is that these choices cost more．They may be worth the extra money，though．Invasive pests cost the U．S．﹩5 billion a year．Trees don't just die in forests．They also die in cities and our yards．Then，they need to be replaced．That costs money，too．8.All the statements are TRUE except that ______ ．A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killingB. the companies making pallets don't want more rulesC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek9.What can we infer from the passage？______A. Bugs won't bother the tree if just in few numbers．B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly．C. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes．D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection．10.Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets？______A. Because insects mostly die in them．B. Because they are the major pest carriers．C. Because they are not worth extra money．D. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly．11.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests．B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion．C. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods．DHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game，when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet？There is an old phrase "calm before the storm"，often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement．According to our own experience，we know there is actually calm before the storm．But what causes this calm？And is it always calm before the storm？Let's hear what scientists have to say．A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm，the simplest kind of storm-a single-cell thunderstorm．In this type of thunderstorm，there is usually only one main updraft，which is warm，damp air and drawn from places near the ground．Storms need warm and damp air as fuel，so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment．Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions-even from the direction in which the storm is traveling．As the warm，damp air is pulled into a storm system，it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真空）coming after．The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds，thus the temperature of the warm，damp air drops，and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain．These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust，until they grow large enough to form raindrops．This warm，damp air keeps moving upwards，but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud．When it reaches the top of the cloud，the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top．This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds．From there，the air goes down．Warm and dry air is relatively stable，and once it covers a region，that air，in turn，causes the calm before a storm．Most thunderstorms，though，don't start with calm．That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns．There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens．Instead，before the storm，it might be really windy!12.Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm？______A. A storm with air drawn from every direction．B. A thunderstorm without strong winds．C. A thunderstorm with a single shape．D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground．13.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. Cold and dry air．B. Warm and damp air．C. Cold and damp air．D. Warm and dry air．14.Which does the writer most likely agree to？______A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air．B. Storm happens without air moving up and down．C. The drier the air is，the bigger the storm will be．D. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm．15.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm．B. An explanation of the calm before a storm．C. A personal experience of a heavy storm．D. A brief description of a peaceful storm．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention．Advertisers，politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them．(1) ．Propaganda is not always a bad thing，but it often hides the truth about a topic．It's very similar to advertising，whose goal is to get people to buy something，while propaganda is to change what people believe．Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda，a common technique is name-calling．A politician might call someone a traitor or liar，which makes the other person look bad．Another is the trend technique．People want to be on the side in the favor．(2) ．Some propaganda is based on fear．It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action，which might not be bad．Anti-smoking campaigns are one example．They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke，they will get cancer．(3) Propaganda is used by many groups，such as businesses，politicians and the government．It is spread through posters，television and radio．The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world．Types of PropagandaPolitical propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians．(4) ．People have used it for many years．War propaganda began during World War I，more than 100 years ago．To see if propaganda is saying the truth，people need to do extra work．For example，ads might always sound like they're true．But before you believe them，try to think about who created and paid for them．Find out why they did it．(5) ．A．Propaganda TargetsB．Propaganda MediumsC．Another word for this is propagandaD．So most people will agree with those politiciansE．Then，you can decide if they're being honest or notF．However，religious propaganda was actually the first official oneG．People might join someone who claims to be popular or winning16.

for，故选A．20．D．考查动词及语境理解．句意：对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情．trains训练；matters重要；influences影响；works工作．作者的实习经历教导了作者：医护人员对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情，即matter表示"要紧、重要"，故选D．本文属于叙事说理文，讲述作者当护士的时候，遇见一个叫John即将死亡的人，护士精心照顾他，使他能够走的安详平静，这也让作者领悟了：对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情．近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，综合难度不断提高．做完型填空首先要通读全文，了解大意．一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容．千万不要看一句，做一句．其次要逐句分析，前后一致．选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等．答案全填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅了，用词得当，意思正确．41.【答案】【小题1】to 【小题2】its 【小题3】shows 【小题4】are 【小题5】where【小题6】creativity 【小题7】being read【小题8】published【小题9】naturally【小题10】has beencommitted【解析】（ 1）to．介词考查．《见字如面》这档电视节目正将这一保持联系的老方式带回到现代人的视野．bring…to…固定搭配．所以填to．（2）its．代词考查．《见字如面》其想法源于一档类似的英国节目Letters Live，该节目于2013年首播．故填its．（3）shows．考查上下文语篇理解，此处缺名词，feature为谓语动词，且有both修饰则应该填复数形式．所以填shows．（4）are．主谓一致就近原则考查．两档节目均无惊人的视觉效果或是常规的娱乐活动．所以填are．（5）where．连词考查．先行词在定语从句中充当状语．所以填where．（6）creativity．考查词性转换．例如，节目里有一封30年前著名画家黄永玉写给剧作家曹禺的充满激情的信件，批评他缺乏创造力．所以填creativity．（7）being read．非谓语动词考查．听信时，我们仿佛回到过去，身临其境．现在分词作hear的宾语补充说明，与下文中as if we are being sent back呼应表示正在被听．所以填being read．（8）published．非谓语动词考查．过去分词作定语修饰texts．表示与其他出版文字相比，信件中自然地流露出个人感触．所以填published．（9）naturally．副词考查．此处用副词修饰动词，naturally是副词"自然地"，所以填naturally．（10）has been committed．动词时态考查．《见字如面》从开播至今还致力于推广中国文学．由since可知此处应用现在完成时．所以填has been committed．本文为说明性记叙文，介绍电视节目《见字如面》．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析．要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目．42.【答案】Last year，Zhang Pingyu paid∧ visit to London．Worried about the time available，Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the site she wanted to see．It was the Tower which she visited first．Fancy! This solid stone，square tower hadbeen remained standing for one thousand years．Many new buildings had expanded around it．Therefore，it was still part of a royal palace and prison combined．There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666．It looked splendidly when first built．Westminster Abbey，too，was very interesting．Then just as he came out of the abbey，Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock Big Ben，ring out the hour．The next day Pingyu was leaving London to Windsor Castle．"Perhaps I will see the Queen？" she wondered as she fall asleep．1．paid∧a．考查冠词．pay a visit to…固定词组，参观…故在paid后加a．2．site→sites．考查名词．site，可数名词，景点．她参观了好几个景点，所以用复数．故把site改为sites．3．which→that．考查固定句型．根据分析，词句是强调句，构成是"It is/was +被强调部分+that+其它"．故把which改为that．4．去掉been．考查动词．remian，保持，仍然是，系动词，无被动，故把been去掉．5．Therefore→However．考查副词．根据句意，虽然周围很多扩建的建筑，但是它仍然是皇宫和监狱的一部分，两句是转折关系．故把Therefore改为However．6．splendidly→splendid．考查形容词．look为系动词，后面加形容词做表语．故把splendidly改为splendid．7．he→she．考查代词．根据上文可知张平玉是女孩，故把he改为she．8．ring→ringing．考查动词．根据分析，前半句为主句，包含谓语动词heard，所以ring应该用非谓语动词形式．ring的逻辑主语为the clock Big Ben，主动关系，故把ring改为ringing．9．to→for．考查介词．leave…for…固定词组，离开…去…，故把to改为for．10．fall→fell．考查动词．文章在描述过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时，故把fall改为fell．【解析】本文介绍了张平玉去年去伦敦参观的情况，首先是伦敦塔，其次是圣保罗大教堂，然后是威斯敏斯特教堂和大本钟．最后介绍她下一站目的地是温莎城堡．短文改错，需要通读文章了解文章大意，然后根据语境和每句话的语法仔细推敲，改正错误．43.【答案】Dear Peter，Having known that you are interested in our school art festival， I am writing to offer you some detailed information．【高分句型一】（引出话题）This art festival falls in every May at our campus， aimed to enrich our school life and arouse our awareness of carrying forwa rd the precious traditional culture．【高分句型二】（举办艺术节的目的）；Sponsored by our Students' Union， the festival covers a wide variety of activities， among which I pay special attention to th e Chinese poetry competition， since I hold the belief that one filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance． Poem lover s read， recite seas of poems that they love and exchange their perspectives on poetry．（介绍你最喜欢的一个艺术节活动）Why not come and enjoy the strong atmosphere of our festival at the very beginning of May？ Your involvement will be warm ly welcomed．（邀请Peter参加并告之艺术节活动的时间）Yours，。
2019-2020学年娄底一中高三英语二模试题及答案解析
2019-2020学年娄底一中高三英语二模试题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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BMark Twain,the famous American writer,was once traveling in France.He went by trainto Dijon.He was very tired and wanted to sleep.He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when the train came to Dijon.But first he explained he was a very heavy sleeper,“I may possibly protest(抗议)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor.“But don’t take any notice of what I say.Just put me off the train anyway.”Then Mark Twain went to ter,when he woke up it was night time and the train had reached Paris already.He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon.He was so angry that he ran to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in my life,” Mark Twain said.The conductor looked at him calmly(平静地).“You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train atDijon,” he said.4. Mark Twain knew that he was a heavy sleeper,so ________.A. he protested loudly to the conductorB. he did not sleep before he arrived inDijonC. he told the conductor to wake him up no matter how loudly he might protestD. he slept lightly that time5. The conductor didn’t wake up Mark Twain atDijonbecause ________.A. he didn’t take Mark Twain’s words seriouslyB. he forgot Mark Twain’s words when the train came toDijonC. he did not want to bear his protestD. he mistook another American traveler for Mark Twain6. The American whom the conductor put off the train ________.A. did not want to get off atDijonB. wanted to get off atParisC. wanted to get off atDijonD. did not want to get off atParis7. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The conductor didn’t take Mark Twain’s words seriously.B. The conductor did take Mark Twain’s words seriously.C. The conductor was a heavy sleeper.D. Mark Twain must get off atParis.CAlthough computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.8. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A. To record their brainwavesB. To inform them of their tasksC. To allow them to focus on writingD. To protect their heads like hair nets9. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A. Why handwriting is more complex than typingB. Why the brain works when it comes to learningC. Why handwriting helps remember informationD. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking10. What is the study's authors' view on typing?A. It relieves people's handsB. It remains vital and helpfulC. It is not worth recommendingD. It is more challenging than writing11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Can You Remember New Information?B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRunC. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than TypingDAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to theIsraeli farming village where he grew up.12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.14. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel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。

AY ou can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing.

To arouse readers’interest in reading books.BI was in the Sants Cruz Mountains not long ago, speaking and singing at awomen’s conference. We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（会议）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏缩不前）---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.27. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented28. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。

Scituate，Massachusetts．But the house is not what brings them there．What they want to see is the old stone well beside it﹣and the iron﹣bound water bucket that's put on its edge．Two hundred years ago，this farmhouse was the home of Samuel Woodworth．During the long summers of his childhood，young Samuel would often pause at the well．It was a welcome break，especially on a hot afternoon．On such a day he would eagerly draw a bucketful of cold water and satisfy his thirst with a refreshing drink．When he was fourteen，Woodworth left Scituate for New York City，where he started his own newspaper．Later he worked as an editor at other newspapers and magazines while writing novels，plays，and poetry in his spare time．His life was busy，and he rarely had time to visit the family farm．But Woodworth never stopped thinking of his Scituate home．After work one evening，Woodworth poured himself a glass of city water．After that，he remarked to his wife，Lydia，how wonderful it would be to have a long，cool drink from the oaken bucket at his father's well．Lydia had a suggestion：Why not put it to poetry？It was a suggestion Woodworth could not resist．That night he wrote The Bucket．In it he captured the world of his childhood on a hot summer day and the simple joy of stopping fora drink at his father's well．His poem was an instant success．It seemed to touch everyone who had ever been homesick．At the height of its popularity，The Old Oaken Bucket （as it came to be called）was translated into four languages，and the words were set to a popular tune of the time．Over the years，countless people have read or sung Woodworth's ode to his boyhood．Today it is the official song of Scituate，Massachusetts．（1）Why does the author use flashback （倒叙）in Paragraph 2？A．To help readers appreciate the well water．B．To help readers enjoy city life．C．To help readers understand how hard Woodworth was．D．To help readers learn about Woodworth's childhood life．（2）What was Woodworth's purpose for writing the poem？A．To share his opinion．B．To introduce his hometown．C．To express his emotion．D．To make some complaints．（3）What can we infer from the text？A．The water in the well tasted better than that in the city．B．The well and the water had a deep impression on Samuel's mind．C．Woodworth's wife reminded him of the well and suggested putting it to poetry．D．Not many people paid much attention to the poem at first．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A．The Old Oaken BucketB．Living in New YorkC．Growing up on the FarmD．Good Suggestions from Wife12．（6分）SUPPORT WORKERDo you have the

rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked．Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings．What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival．Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．Nearly every successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for．Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge，we can lessen its effects．Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later．Resources may be more than physical possessions．Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration．The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives．We have already benefited from other spin﹣offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems．Even non﹣stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by﹣products of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows creative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve tosave us．While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers．The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive．Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist．While Earth is the only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets．It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．（1）Why does the author mention the questions？A．To express his doubts．B．To compare different ideas．C．To introduce points for discussion．D．To describe the conditions on Earth．（2）What is the reason for exploring space based on？A．Humans are nature born to do so．B．Humans have the tendency to fight．C．Humans may find new sources of food．D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place．（3）The underlined word "spin﹣offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to．A．survival chancesB．unexpected benefitsC．potential resourcesD．physical possessions（4）Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？A．Space exploration has created many wonders．B．Space exploration provides the best value for money．C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology．D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth．14．（8分）A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to "read" human personalities．The eyes，they say，are the windows to the soul．And if that is true，computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms（算法）may soon have the ability to peer into your soul．That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality，conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience．"Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，" wrote the researchers，led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher，whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determines their personality traits（特点）with "well﹣established questionnaires" for determining personality type，according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily．The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits，such as "neuroticism，extraversion（外向），agreeableness，conscientiousness，as well as perceptual curiosity"，the scientists wrote．"The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high﹣tech devices，even robots，allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，" Loetscher said．"People are always looking for improved，personalized services．Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non﹣verbal information，" Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express．This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural，and better at interpreting human social signals．"The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies，according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper．（1）What do the underlined words "peer into" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．understandB．stare atC．search forD．concern about（2）How did the researchers conduct the research？A．It was carried out in a lab．B．42 subjects' eye movements were recorded．C．The students' daily movements were tracked．D．Its subjects' personalities were determined by computer．（3）According to Tobias Loetscher，what can we know？A．Robots and computers are socially conscious．B．People care less about improved，personalized services．C．Today's robots and computers can accustom to non﹣verbal information．D．The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A．Human Personality TraitsB．What Human Eye Movements AreC．Tell Personalities by Eye Movements．D．How Humans and Machines Interact第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）If you're going abroad for college，you might be thinking about how to get yourselfa safe and cozy home for the years ahead．Of course，dormitories are always a good place tostart．but some large state colleges require juniors to live off campus due to the limited number of dorm rooms．（1）．How to find a house（2）．If you are just a freshman or don't know many people，don't hesitate to approach some upperclassmen in your classes or clubs．More often than not，upperclassmen have more experience with renting and are more familiar with the area your school is in．Another good idea is to talk to seniors who are currently living off﹣campus．These seniors' landlords will most likely be looking for new tenants （房客）after graduation．Also，registered realtors（房地产经纪人）might be able to find you a place for a fee．Inaddition，Facebook groups can also provide some useful information．（3）．RoommatesHaving roommates can not only save us some money，but also give us valuable com﹣panionship．However，remember that finding the right roommates for you is the most important thing，other than safety concerns．（4），definitely do not lie about your preferences，schedule，or habits，even if talking about them could make you uncomfortable．On the other side，also remember to ask your potential roommates to tell you about themselves in detail．（5），please do everybody a favor by being upfront about it．Constantly running intoconflicts with your quiet roommate is definitely the last thing you want．A．If you are a party animalB．While looking for roommatesC．Get along well with your roommatesD．When having a chat with your roommateE．First，you can ask your friends who are already living off campusF．However，be really careful if you get

As for the most representative symbol, I strongly support Confucius. As a philosopher, Confucius has been influencing Chinese people since ancient times. Nowadays we can find lots of Confucius institutes around the world, which provide platforms for the foreigners to learn about Chinese culture. To preserve Chinese traditional culture, the government should strengthen regulation to protect it, and it is our responsibility to be a good steward. What’s more, providing various cultural exchange activities will have a far-reaching impact.Feel free to ask me if you have any other questions.Yours,Li Hua录音稿(Text 1)M: Now with Wi-Fi I can play games and watch movies any time.W: I don’t think that’s what the school had in mind. It’s supposed to be for studying.(Text 2)M: Honey, did you happen to see my wallet on your way out of the house? I think I left it next to my notebook. W: Sorry, dear. I was in a hurry this morning and barely remembered my keys!(Text 3)M: What happened in here?W: The phone rang while I was washing plates. I didn’t turn off the water. So you see.M:Don’t worry. I’ll help you clean up the kitchen floor.(Text 4)W: Excuse me, could you help me find The Old Man and the Sea, the novel by Ernest Hemingway? M: Why don’t you search easier than looking at the shelves?W: Thank you. It’s much easier than looking at the tiles on the shelves.(Text 5)W: I should start a new diet.M: You can try out the one that I do.W: Tell me about it. I need to do something right away. You know, my sister’s getting married. I can’t even fit in the dress for the wedding.(Text 6)M: Hello.W: Good morning. I’m phoning about your flat for rent. Could you tell me more about it?M: Certainly. It’s a two-bedroom flat on the ground floor. It’s very close to stores and restaurants. The movie theater and the park are further away, but the flat is within walking distance of public transportation.W: Hmm, very good. Is the flat furnished or unfurnished?M: Fully furnished.W: Great. I’d like to come and see it. When would it be convenient?M: Well, let me have a check.(Text 7)M: So tell me, Amy, is Harry ready for his trip?W: Yeah, he has finished packing this evening.M: Where is he now?W: Out with some friends.M: Well, we have to go to the airport at six tomorrow morning,so. Hey, what’s the matter?W: Jack, I’m a little nervous about Harry’s to Japan… I mean Japan is so far away.M: Come on, Honey, he’s 22 years old. He’s got a great job, and he speaks a little Japanese. I’m sure he’s going to have a great time.W: But we won’t see him for one year!M: Don’t worry. The time will probably pass very quickly.(Text 8)W: When my brother came back from the army, he was a changed man.M: He doesn’t seem any different to me.W: He’s changed a lot. Believe me.M: Can you give me some examples?W: Yeah. Just the other day he beat his dog for not listening to him.M: Did it bite him?W: No. It is a cute dog and never makes his room dirty.M: That doesn’t sound like your brother at all.W: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. He seems like a strange person to me.M: Have you thought about talking to him?W: I’ve tried. But he only shouted at me. I was hoping you could say something to him.M: Me?W: You’re his closest friend. I think he’d listen to you if you talked to him. Would you please give it a try?M: All right. I’ll speak to him when he gets home from work.(Text 9)W: So how are things going?M: Well, I was feeling great on Monday, but I started to feel sick on Tuesday afternoon. And I’m supposed to give a speech at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.W: Well, what seems to be the problem?M: I thought I had the flu, or a fever, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some medicine to take three times a day after eating. But it doesn’t seem to help. He also told me to have a rest for a day or so, but I’m so busy these days.W: Listen, I have the thing to help your cold. You see, my mom is really into vegetable medicine.M: Oh, no, thanks.W: Ah, come on! Give it a try. Just take some of my mom’s vegetable tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me, you’ll be up and dancing around in no time.M: Dancing around in no time? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.W: Great. I’ll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.(Text 10)M: Good morning. This is Bob, your entertainment officer for the day. I’d like to tell you what’s on today’s program. First off, for those of you who are feeling energetic, the keep-fit class meets in the Ship’s Gym in 20 minutes at 9:00 am. If you missed yesterday’s competition in the swimming pool, then come along this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. for more fun and games. You don’t need to be able to swim and it’s one way of keeping cool as it looks to be a really clear cloudless day, unlike yesterday, when you probably needed an extra sweater! Now, on to this evening and there’s a change to the advertised film programs. Starting in the Ship’s Cinema at 8:00 p.m.—not 9:00 p.m. as advertised—is the classic movie The Singing Moon. There are no tickets for this event, but as seats are rather limited, you’re advised to come along early.。

Each passage is followed byseveral questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the informationgiven in the passage.AWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is itthe look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the truevalue? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hardperson to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, alone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created mygift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder ofa dream. As I watched both passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as heunwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.56. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming57. The author’s inspiration for the gift came from _______.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas58. The underlined word “it ”in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _______.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe59. The author made the gift by _______.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures60. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has received.BStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Center could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn fromthe master’or get more creative with paint —free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass thetime pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me , then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf —over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.61. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _______.A. attending the master s’ classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition62. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _______.A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts63. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _______.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180564. In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake _______.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord ByronC. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some places for weekend break.B. A way to become creative in art.C. The colourful life in the countryside.D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.CHarvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’hard outer shells. The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp(虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk.” It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and ’60s. Decades later, however, plastic’s very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but is basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料), and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot ofmaterial.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.66. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s _______.A. remarkable designB. interesting nameC. major featuresD. basic elements67. What has become a concern about plastic？A. Using it properly.B. Producing it cheaply.C. Developing its properties quicklyD. Evaluating its contributions fairly.68. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because _______.A. it can help plastic degradeB. it can be found in living thingsC. its mass production has been realizedD. its raw materials are abundant in nature69. What are the inventors doing in the lab?A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.B. Testing shrilk’s use in wet conditions.C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.D. Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes.70. Which of the following can be best title for the passage?A. Recent Progress in Environmental ProtectionB. Benefits of Insects in Scientific ResearchC. The Harm of One-time ProductsD. A Possible Alternative to PlasticPart ⅣWriting (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Since the earliest civilizations, people have controlled rivers to meet society’s demands. Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation(航行), and to prevent flooding.River control is achieved by channelization, a term thatcovers a range of river engineering works, including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of dams.An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the 19th century, when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened. One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary. The controlling of the Tisa, designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100 meanders (河曲), shortening the river’s length by nearly 400 kilometers.One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them. The past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were about 800,000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height.Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful. Some particularly deep reservoirs(水库) can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water. Downstream of a reservoir, theriver is certainly influenced in many ways: water volume,speed and quality are all affected, leading to changes in thelandscape and among plants and animals.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer thequestions according to the information given in the passage.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs toexperience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocerystore to the fast food industry.Title:71 72Ways To 73 adequate water for:·daily life, 74 and industry·power generation·navigation to stop rivers from 75channelization: ·engineering works: ·widening, 76 and straighteningrivers· 77 river banks·an example: the 78 of the Tisza bynearly 400 km79 :·achievements: 800,000 dams built·problems: causing harmful changes to 80Now I still remember my first day at fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: “Mike, there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one.” I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast eservice with a friendly smile.Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee dose.From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamworkand devotion. I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.81.
