And both are so dissimilar! What are the 31 between friendship and love? Is ideal friendship 32 between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.What is friendship? 33 do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we 34 for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we 35 most of our thoughts with a person, he or she is our good friend. We can always 36 our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will 37 why we acted ina certain way. We need not 38 anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so 39 , that most of the things are understood by our friends.What about 40 ? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love 41 all this. During love, we are 42 to a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many 43 . A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets 44 if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a 45 element. Friendship does not have that. This is a(n) 46 difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not giveus friendship.Your heart beats will never 47 in anticipation of (期待) meeting your friend. You will not lie 48 at night thinking about your friend.

According to Alex Honnold, who is known internationally for free soloing (徒手独爬), it’s no big deal! But many climbers disagree. In fact, free soloing is so dangerous that less than 1% of climbers ever attempt it.Honnold grew up in California around a climbing culture and started climbing at 10. He would go to a climbing gym six days a week for three hours a day. Hannold was a straight-A student in school. But climbing was his main interest, and free soloing quickly became his favorite style.Since those early days, the 27-year-old has made over a thousand climbs. He is considered by many to be the best climber in the world. Experienced climber John Long says over half of the well-known free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Honnold’s greatest achievement is that he’s still alive!Hannold climbs by fitting his fingers into cracks of the rock face. With most of his weight supported by his fingers alone, he pulls himself up. However, his ability to stay concentrated is as important as his strength. Other climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a rope is a huge challenge to face. Everyone knows that a single mistake would probably cause death.One of Honnold’s greatest achievements occurred in California’s Yosemite National Park. He became the first free solo climber to climb up the 2,000-foot northwest face of Half Dome.Along with praise comes a lot of criticism. Many believe he is taking too many risks. Honnold replies, “I don’t think I’ll do this forever. But I don’t think I will stop because of the risk. I’ll stop because I lose the love for it.”51. According to the text, Alex Honnold ______________.A. was a good student in schoolB. thinks free soloing isn’t dangerous at allC. spent 20 hours a week in a climbing gymD. is the youngest free solo climber in the world52. According to John Long, Alex Honnold ____________.A. is encouraging the development of free soloingB. doesn’t need any safety equipmentC. is the best climber in the worldD. has good luck in free soloing53. From Alex Honnold’s words at the end of the text, we can infer that he ___________.A. can’t take criticismB. will stop doing free soloingC. knows there’s danger in free soloingD. give other climbers a lot of praise(B)Girls and boys usually attend classes together in American public schools. But there are some single-sex programs, like a girls public school in Dallas, Texas. It opened in 2020. The students have done well enough that the school system is now opening a school for boys.The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy is part of the Dallas Independent School District. The school year begins Monday. Academy Principal Nakia Douglas has been giving tours to incoming students and their parents. He says, “This wing here will be our electives —specifically all of our foreign languages: Latin, Mandarin, Spanish. Our debate will be housed here.”Mr. Douglas says he was the kind of student that the school is seeking. He says, “I was born and raised in south Dallas by a single parent. I was a neighborhood child. I was that child that –I would work if I knew the teacher believed in me. But, at the same time, I had a hunger and desire for more. A lot of our young men have that hunger, desire and ability now.”Educational researchers say boys learn in different ways and mature more slowly than girls, and are more likely to leave school. Being in class with the opposite sex can also take attention away from learning.Kendal Keeter thinks the boys school will be good for his son the way the girls school was for his daughter. He says, “Our thought was to also give our son an opportunity that would best prepare him for college in the samemanner she was prepared, and I can’t imagine any other option that would have prepared her better.”Another parent, Madeline Hayes, also likes the idea of a publicly funded school for boys. He says, “This is something, as cheesy (俗气的) as it sounds, that I’ve always dreamed about, that there will be a boys school that doesn’t charge 25,000 dollars a year, but would give the same academics, the same level of interaction and leadership.”The school is for grades six through nine. It will offer college preparatory classes and leadership courses even on weekends.Principal Douglas says the boys will be urged to support one another. He says, “Our young men grow together. But all of our young men we call ‘brother’. So it may be Brother Marlyk Davis or Brother Samuel Keeper. The young men understand they are their brother’s keeper. And so the young men are really learning to be responsible not only for themselves, but also for their brothers here at the campus.”Madeline Hayes’ son Kelvin is twelve. He will be entering the seventh grade. The boy says, “I’ve always wanted a higher academic purpose, always want somebody to challenge me when I make my mistakes. I can learn from them. And then they have classes like science, computer and robotics, and I enjoy especially robotics and building new technology, because when I grow up I want to be an engineer.”Fourteen-year-old Malyk Davis will study cooking, or “culinary art”at the Obama Academy in Dallas. He has already learned from a professional chef. However, he was not so sure he wanted to attend a school only for boys, and he heard bad things about the area. He says, “But once I began to look into more about the options that they were having, I think I’m really going to enjoy this. It’s going to be a long and tough road, but as long as I’mgraduating in 2020, that’s all that matters to me.”Most students who want to be accepted into the Obama Academy will need to have good grades and pass a number of tests. But ten to fifteen percent will not have to meet all of the entrance requirements. Principal Nakia Douglas says they will have to show they have a strong character and a desire to learn.54.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Dallas Creates a Public School for BoysB.The Advantages of a Boys SchoolC.The Advantages of a Girls SchoolD.The Entrance Requirements of a Boys School55. We can conclude from Paragraph 6 that ________.A.Madeline Hayes is against the idea of opening a boys schoolB. a boys school opens fewer courses than other schoolsC.the public boys school won’t charge as much as Madeline Hayes expectsD. a private school charges less than a public boys school56.Which kind of students would be fit for the boys public school?A. Boys with special talents.B. Boys without parents.C. Boys believing in teachers.D. Boys eagerly desiringknowledge.57. Which of the following statements agrees with the passage?A. All the boys won’t have to pass any test to go to the boys school.B. All the boys will have to pass many tests to attend the boys school.C. The boys school will accept the students without a strong learning desire.D. Malyk Davis is determined to attend the public school for boys in Dallas.(C)Contrary to many people’s brief, highly intelligent children are notnecessarily certain to achieve academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely brightly young people.One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can encourage a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. If the academic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students may not get the encouragement they need, further depressing their desire to learn. They may fail far behind in their schoolwork and even develop behavior problems.IQ is just one element among many in the recipe for success—Children develop well or struggle in school for a host of reasons apart from IQ. These include motivation (积极性) and persistence, social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends.Because highly gifted children solve the most varied thought problems faster and more thoroughly than those with average talents do, they need additional intellectual stimulation while they wait for the rest of the kids to learn the basics. Two central approaches are used to satisfy the educational needs of such children: acceleration and enrichment. Acceleration means studying material that is part of the standard subjects for older students. Enrichment involves learning information that fallsoutside the usual subjects.A child might skip one or more grades as a way of accelerating in school. But being with older children for the entire school day—and perhaps for grade-based extracurricular activities such as sports—can make a child feel inferior in every realm outside of academics. One very bright fourth-grader who had skipped two grades remained far ahead of his classmates intellectually, but as his classmates reached puberty (青春期), his social and other shortcomings became painfully apparent. While acceleration is not an option, or not a good one, enrichment can be. After all, school is not a race but an adventure in learning. As such, the goal is not finishing first but absorbing as much knowledge as possible in the time assigned. Thus, providing opportunities for a child to study topics outside the regular subjects can be at least as valuable as pushing him or her through the required material faster.58. What is the basic reason for the low academic achievement of highly intelligent children?A. Teacher s’ failure to recognize their potential.B. Too much emphasis on being intelligent.C. Studying topics outside the regular subjects.D. Lack of encouragement from subjects.59. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to enrichmentactivities for talented children?A. Skipping one of more grades and studying together with older children.B. Learning the same material in the standard subjects for older students.C. Learning information that is not included in the regular subjects.D. Learning how to read with fluency even in their per-school days.60. Which of the following statements do you think is true according to thepassage?A. The writer is in favor of enrichment rather than acceleration.B. The writer is in favor of acceleration rather than enrichment.C. The writer speaks highly of both enrichment and acceleration.D. The writer thinks neither enrichment nor acceleration is a good choice.61. In this passage, the writer intends to _____________.A. point out the weakness of acceleration for gifted children.B. compare acceleration with enrichment for gifted childrenC. stress the importance of enrichment for gifted childrenD. discuss how to bring out gifted children’s potential(D)I cheated in a unit test in math class this morning during second period with Mr. Burke. Afterward, I was too sick to eat lunch just thinking about it.I came straight home from school, went to my room, and lay on the floor trying to decide whether it would be better to run away from my home now or after supper. Mostly I wished I was dead. It wasn’t even an accident that I cheated.Yesterday Mr. Burke announced there’d be a unit test and anyone who didn’t pass would have to come to school on Saturday, most particularly me, since I didn’t pass the last unit test. So I did plan to get well prepared just to prove to him that I’m plenty smart—which I am mostly—except in math.Anyway, I got my desk ready to study on. Just when I was ready to work, Nicho came into my room with our new rabbit and it jumped on my desk. I yelled for my mother to come and help me pick it up, but Carlotta was crying as usual and Mother said I was old enough to help myself. So Nicho and I took the rabbitoutside but then Philip came to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was dinner.It was already nine o’clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr. Burke’s math class.So, you see, the cheating was planned after all.The next day, I went into class as usual, acting like things were going just great. I sat down next to Stanley Plummer—he is so smart in math—and from time to time, I glanced over at his paper to copy the answers. Everything was okay except that my stomach was upside down and I wanted to die.Having handed in my test paper, I couldn’t believe what I’d done in cold blood. I began to wonder about myself. I’ve never been a wonderful kid that everybody in the world loves. I have a bad temper and I like to have my own way and I argue a lot. Sometimes I can be mean. But most of the time I’ve thought of myself as a pretty decent(正派的) kid. Mostly I work hard, I care for little kids, and I tell the truth. Now all of a sudden I’ve turned into a criminal. It’s hard to believe I’m just a boy. And all because of one stupid math test.Lying on the floor of my room, I began to think that probably I’ve been bad all along. It just took this math test to fix it. I’ll probably never tell the truth again.I tell my mother I’m sick when she calls me to come down for dinner. She doesn’t believe me, but puts me to bed anyhow. I lie there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I’ll be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed.“What’s the matter?” he asks. “I’ve got a stomachache,” I say. Luckily, it’s too dark to see his face. “Mommy says you’ve been in yourroom since school. She thinks something happened today and you’re upset,”That’s the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother. She knows things sitting inside my head same as if I was turned inside out.“Well,”my father says. I can tell he doesn’t believe me. “My stomach is feeling sort of upset.” I say. “Okay,” he says and he pats my leg and gets up.Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don’t even recognize as my own. “How come?” he calls back not surprised or anything. So I tell him I cheated in this math test. To tell the truth, I’m pretty much surprised at myself. I didn’t plan to tell him anything.He doesn’t say anything at first and that just about kills me. I’d be fine if he’d scold me or do something. And then he says I’ll have to call Mr. Burke. It’s not what I had in mind. “Now?” I ask. “Now,” he says. He turns on the light and pulls off my covers. “I’m not going to,”I say.But I do it. I call Mr. Burke and I tell him exactly what happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says I’ll come on Saturday to take another test, which is okay with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all.“Today I thought I was turning into a criminal,”I tell my father when he turns off my light.Sometimes my father kisses me good night and sometimes he doesn’t. I never know why. But tonight he does.62.Why did the author say “It wasn’t even an accident that I cheated”?A.He decided to cheat as soon as he knew that there was going to be atest.B.He had planned not to study before the test.C.He had planned it with his deskmate before the test.D.He decided to cheat after he had wasted the whole evening.63.Before the cheating, the author thought that ____________.A. he was a boy that everyone lovedB. he was a bad boy only inmathC. he was a decent child though not perfectD. he always did whathe was told64. The author thought his mother often drove him crazy because ___________.A. she always knew what he was thinkingB. she was much too strict with himC. she always told him to look after himselfD. she didn’t care for him actually65. The father kissed the author good night that very night because ______________.A. the boy had done something against his willB. the boy promised to study math harder in futureC. the boy was willing to take a make-up math testD. the boy realized his mistake and had the courage to admit it第二卷（共三个部分。

2020年浙江省杭州市联考高二(下)期中英语试卷
期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）AIt was a mid-winter's day．My Mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done．My brothers were seven and five years older than me and much bigger as well．Still，it was I who decided to start the snowball fight．I hit one of them when they weren't looking and soon we were all making and throwing snowballs as fast as we could．Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs that came my way until the one that caught me in the back of the head and sent me sliding into the two foot deep snowdrift．I felt two hands grasp my shoulders as my oldest brother lifted me out safely．I laughed as I dusted the snow off．Later Mom called us back inside for a lunch of hot，chicken soup．I drank it slowly and then sat near the old，wood stove in our living room and let the warmth quickly dry my damp socks and jeans．It felt so nice．I couldn't describe the feeling back then but I know now that it was pure happiness．In those innocent days of childhood there was no regret for the past or worry for the future．Each moment could be enjoyed just the way God intended．Each day could be filled with fun，laughter，and love．I think that we all need to re-experience that feeling in our lives．We need to live with childlike joy while keeping our adult wisdom．We need to throw a few snowballs and drink a few bowls of soup afterwards．We need to trust in our Heavenly Father's love for us and share our love with others as well．Life here is too brief not to enjoy all of its precious moments．1.Why did the writer's mother order them outside？______A. To let them do more outdoor exercises．B. For the convenience of doing housework．C. To let them help her do housework outside．D. To give them a surprise when they returned．2.Why could the writer avoid so many snowballs？______A. Because his figure was small．B. Because he was the youngest．C. Because he had quick reaction．D. Because he was good at avoiding．3.What is the writer's purpose in writing the text？______A. To introduce a good outdoor exercise．B. To recall an experience in his childhood．C. To show life should be enjoyed to the fullest．D. To sing high praises of his mother's greatness．BHave you ever made your life look a little more charming than it actually is by posting truths on social media? If so, you may be damaging your mental health.The posts we make on social media platforms allow us to look back and see what we did on a given day.But what happens when, in an effort to impress our online friends, photos and videos we post become beautified versions of the things we did?A young girl named Sophia went out to a romantic anniversary dinner with her boyfriend, had a near relationship-ending fight during dessert, then came home and posted, "Had the best time out with the love of my life!"—even with a photo of the meal. No surprise, but according to a new study, Sophia was by no means unique. Two-thirds of users admit lying about their lives on social media with 20 percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 stating that they edit their own stories by frequently lying about relationships and promotions.By beautifying our online stories, we are harming our memories. We start believing the stories we tell rather than remembering what really happened. Soon, the real experience is lost and all that remains is the beautified version of history.Scientists fear that these edited stories will end up changing our memories. It's well confirmed through research that our own memories are often unreliable and can be easily controlled. Writing down one's life in the form of a journal, or even on social media can help us keep our memories undamaged, but only if we tell the truth. So recording our experiences through whatever medium, to later recall lessons we learned, is not only acceptable but desirable. In fact, looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.4.Why did Sophia post her story with a photo of the meal？A. To make her post attractive.B. To show his photography skill.C. To convince others of her story.D. To show how enjoyable the meal was.5.In what kind of tone did the writer write the text?A. Encouraging.B. Critical.C. Humorous.D. Enthusiastic.6.The last paragraph implies that many people don't realize ________.A. recalling the unpleasant past can also be enjoyableB. writing down our life on social media does no good to usC. recording experiences through media is unacceptableD. recording our experiences through media is beneficial7.What a lesson can be drawn from the text?A. Leaving others a good impression is desirable.B. Editting our online stories weakens our memory.C. Posting our experiences on social media is risky．D. Beautifying our history ends up hurting ourselves.CResearchers are often interested in how culture changes over time．All cultures go through periods of change and some cultures change faster than others．For example，in the past 10 years，Chinese culture has changed rapidly as western products have become popular．Other countries，such as France，have created rules to prevent their culture from changing too quickly．Even though cultures change at different paces，the causes of cultural change are quite similar around the world．One of these is technology and medicine．In the United States the invention and development of birth control pills and other measures helped parents to limit the size of their families．As a result，families grew smaller and parents could give more attention to fewer children．On the other hand，new technology has also created emotional distance among families．Cultures also change when they come into contact with other cultures．Immigration，for example，often results in cultural change for both immigrants and the host culture．Immigrants often bring with them different ideas，food，music，language，and manners when they move to a new culture．In Canada，for example，the government has a policy of multiculturalism where immigrants are encouraged to share their background cultures with Canadians while adopting and accepting Canadian culture．Cultural change can occur due to larger events．For example，economic depression，war，and disaster can endanger societies，which must adapt to these challenges and events．Because of these changes in society，ideas and ways of life also affect the entire culture．For example，during World War II，many American men were sent far off to fight．Consequently，women were suddenly needed to work in the factories．As a result of this change，it is no longer culturally acceptable to believe that they should not have the right to work．8.In the first paragraph which country has experienced rapid cultural change in the lastdecade？______A. Canada．B. China．C. France．D. America．9.What will probably be talked about following the last paragraph？______A. Another reason for cultural change．B. A discussion of immigration policy in France．C. Another cultural change caused by World War II．D. Some examples of highly successful working women．10.What would be a good title for this passage？______A. Immigration Policy and CultureB. Immigration and CultureC. New Technology and Family CultureD. Theories of Cultural Change二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）It is sometimes possible to fix a water damaged cell phone．(1) ．The longer you wait，the more likely the phone is unrepairable．As soon as you notice your phone has dropped into water，you should take a cloth to wipe it off．Additionally，you should take out the SIM card and battery．(2) ．If you put your water damaged cell phone back together and it won't turn on，it is likely that some water has gotten down inside the phone．(3) ．You can remove the battery and SIM card from the phone once again and place all three components into a bowl filled with rice．This may work because rice is very absorbent．(4) ．If the rice method either did not work，you can take the phone apart and lay all its pieces outside in direct sunlight for several hours．The heat from the sun may completely dry out the inside and outside of the phone and its parts．If it is raining or the sun is not out，you can use a blow dryer on low heat to get the same results．If all of your attempts at repairing your phone are unsuccessful，you will likely have no choice but to take it to your cell provider or to a place that repairs cell phones to get it fixed．Unless your phone is very valuable，the cost of repairing the phone might be higher than what you paid for it．(5) ．It may be beneficial to meanwhile purchase insurance from your cell phone provider．A．If so，you have to throw itB．You could also use heat to fix itC．Fixing it doesn't always end up with successD．Repairing it as soon as possible may be greaterE．Then you might be better off buying a new oneF．When this happens，you can still repair it using rice，though．G．Place them onto a paper towel so the water can completely drain11.

A class pet can be an invaluable experience for elementary school children． The pet can teach responsibility， build a connection to the classroom， serve as a motivator， and be something for the children to love． If the teacher is willing to take on the added responsibility of caring for an animal in addition to all of the children in the classroom， a class pet can be a wonderful addition to a class．Many factors need to be taken into consideration when choosing a class pet． It cann ot be too big， as classrooms generally have limited space． Cost should also be consid ered since the teacher will likely have to pay for the pet， its food and its habitat． It m ust also be somewhat hardy （耐寒的）． Each particular type of animal has its advantages and disadvantages， and a teac her must weigh these and make a decision about which one is right for his or her class．Birds are physically more delicate （娇养） than many other animals． They will not survive in drafts （气流） and need a somewhat regulated temperature in their environment． Many birds are quite social and do best with other birds or when being handled routinely by people who can be appropriate with them． Young children are not likely to have the skill to handle a bird without harming it， making it a poor choice for a class pet．Some reptilesare beautiful to look at but are delicate， afraid of cold， light sensitivity or poisonous a nd shouldn't be handled by children． Others are more hardy but require expensive habit ats． Most snakes eat rats and mice，which may be a frightening thing for small children to witness．A hardy fish， such as a betta， is a good low-cost option for a class pet． They are obviously not huggable or able to be caught by children． Besides， they are inexpensi ve， have relatively long life spans， and can be kept in a simple fish bowl．答案和解析1.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】C【解析】BAC1．B．细节理解题．根据第一段 My Mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done．可知，母亲把孩子赶出去是为了方便干家务活．故选B．2．A．细节理解题．根据第二段 Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs 可知，作者是身体较小，因此不容易被雪球砸中．故选A．3．C．主旨大意题．根据文章内容可知，作者是建议读者应该尽情地享受生活．故选C．本文作者通过讲述了童年的经历，表达了应该尽情地享受生活的建议．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．4.【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

AOn Nov 2,Williams-Cole, a senior interdisciplinary（跨学科的）major, sworn in （宣誓就职）as the mayor of Camp Hill, Alabama, US, making him the youngest person in history to hold the office, according to WVTM 13, an NBC affiliate分支机构）.Williams-Cole was prompted（促使）to run for mayor because he wanted to bring changes to his hometown, a town of less than 1000 people. The citizens of Camp Hill have seen a sad decline of their town with many empty storefronts, trees growing inside what used to be businesses and weeds sprouting（发芽）from sidewalks, according to WSFA 12 News, Alabama,s source.“My main things is to create a foundation and clear up any d ebts we have to get our town financially stable.” Williams-Cole told Auburn University. “ While doing that, I want to carry out things that will increase unity in the town, like doing quarterly town hall meetings that are more informal and that celebrate the community. We need to open up the floor for people to complain if they want, because they have the right to do that as taxpayers.”Williams-Cole has designed a detailed schedule so that he would have enough time for both his studies and his duties as a mayor. He hopes to use his education and his position as mayor to help other people, especially children. He said he would want to become an administrator at a boarding school, which gives children holistic（全面的）learning that is essential to contemporary society.“ Cole is different.” Mike Fellows, Lee County Circuit Court Judge, told Auburn University.” “ He,s obviously willing to do a lot of extra work to serve his community. He cares enough to do it, and I think that says a lot about him.” The young man is set to graduate in May 2021. He plans to attend either grad school or law school, news outlet CBS reported.1.Why did Williams-Cole run for mayor?A.He wants to get some work experienceB.The town,s environment is suffering badlyC.He wants to contribute to his hometownD.It,s a part of his graduation project.2.What does Williams-Cole plan to do after being elected?A.Create opportunities for people to be heard.B.Hire more teachers at boarding schools.C.Hold regular meetings with local business.D.Set up new companies to promote economic development.3.Which of the following words best describes Williams-Cole ?A.DemandingB.PatientC.ResponsibleD.HumorousBEveryone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic.“The reflex （习惯性动作）of answering—20th-century telephonic culture-is gone. ”The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automate （自动化的）messages from organizations verifying （核实）your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to YouMail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate（隔离） them.“The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smar t phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely,”Fernandez said.Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.1.What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?A. People,s preference for robocalls.B. People,s addiction to social mediaC. People,s growing need for privacyD. People,s wide range of communication choices2.What can we infer from Fernandez,s remark?A. Smart phones make families closer.B.Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.C.The value of home depends on how phones are used.D.The use of mobile phone has affected family bonds.3.What does the article mainly talk about?A.The past and future of telephoneB.The development of communication tools.C.The downfall of traditional telephone culture.D.The relation between phone use and family bonds.CBoycotting （抵制）has long been used as a political tool. In the late 18th century, it was used to discourage the use of products made by slave labor. Now it is being used to influence the largest social media platform in the world, FacebookThe Stop Hate for Profit campaign claims the platform doesn,t do enough to remove racist and hateful comments from its site. Already, this has resulted in a series of major companies, including Adidas and Starbucks, removing their advertising from the platform.Can that boycott hurt Facebook? The short answer is yes-the vast majority of Facebook's income comes from ads. David Cumming from Aviva Investors told the BBC that the loss of trust could “destroy the business.” On Friday, Facebook's share price dropped by 8 percent, making CEO Mark Zuckerberg, on paper, $6 billion poorer. But despite the huge share price reduction, some believe this boycott will only scratch the surface. Apart from companies only committing to the boycott for one month, the biggest factor is much of Facebook,s advertising income comes from thousands of small - to medium -sized businesses, many of which have not signed up for the boycott.According to CNN, the site's 100 highest-spending brands only account for 6 percent of advertising income. In contrast. smaller brands view social media ads as the only affordable vehicle for mass exposure.Though unable to force a change, Zuckerberg has shown sone signs of flexibility（灵活性）following an announcement that the site would begin to make hateful content. But this pales compared to measures form other sites.This year is going to be a rocky year for all social media companies. If the boycott goes on into the autumn and if more and more companies sigh up, this could be a defining year for the social network.1.Why has Facebook been boycotted?A.It has been used as a political tool.B.It has posted many inappropriate advertisements.C.It has launched the Stop Hate for Profit campaign.D.It has failed to manage discriminatory posts on its platform.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A.Facebook will take measures to stop the boycott.B.Facebook has confidence it will restore its users, trust.C.Facebook won,t be greatly influenced by the boycott.D.Facebook hasn,t been affected by many smaller businesses.3.What does the author think of the measures Zuckerberg has taken?A.They are not effective enough.B.They are not flexible enough.C.They are better than those taken by other sites.D.They will help Facebook survive the boycott.4.How does the author feel about the future of social networks?A. criticalB. OptimisticC. PessimisticD. Uncertain.第二节（共五小题；每小题2分，满分10分）What comes to mind when you think of the word “museum”? Do you picture paintings hangin g on a wall? Quiet halls filled full of relics from the past? Or do you think of airplanes suspended from the ceiling? Perhaps science experiments come to mind. 1There are many different types of museums around the world. Each one might display certain types of exhibits based on subject matter.2 One of the most famous is the Louvre in Paris, France. It,s the home of the Mona Lisa. Paintings are not the only forms of art that museums put on display. They usually contain all sorts of art, from sculptures to fabric art. Many cities now have children's museums. What do they display there? _______________________________3 __________ These give kids a chance to explore their imaginations by interacting with exhibits on a personal level. Science and space museums can take children on a trip all around and even beyond Earth. Do you wonder about the world around you or what's “out there”?4 And there are good old-fashioned history museums. It can be so great to see the original documents and artifacts that shaped history!5 Have you ever been to a zoo or botanical gardens? These are museums with living exhibits that are right out in the open instead of hanging on a wall or sitting behind glass.Do you think you might want to work in a museum someday? It can be fun to work around interesting items and show the public how important they are. There are many fun and fascinating careers related to museums.A.The designs of museums vary from place to place.B.Not all museums are buildings, either.C.They usually feature many hands-on activities.D.What makes museums so important to cultural development?E.Actually, all of these things and more are possible in museums.F.If so, you,ll want to find a science or space museum to tour.G.If you love art, there,s no shortage of art museums around the world.第一节：完形填空（共20个小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项My Ph.D. adviser called me into his office and started by saying, "Anurag, this conversation isn't going to be easy."
