类型3| 科普知识(2016·浙江10月卷·C)Digital technologyemail and smart phones especiallyhave vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so，most whitecollar work still happens in an office.One reason is that，according to findings of a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix，most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it and only 35 percent say it's tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey，which shows that 43 percent of workers say they've watched TV or a movie while“working”remotely，while 35 percent have done housework，and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true，however，that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的)，because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.It's much faster，for example，to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the afterwork rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a lowcost way to give workers something of value.Sixtyfour percent of those surveyparticipants who haven't worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home.Under such circumstances，smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.28．Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A．They fear losing control of their workers.B．They want to stick to their routine practice.C．They have little trust in modern technology.D．They are used to facetoface communication.29．What seems to be most workers' attitude toward remote working?A．Doubtful.B．Favorable.C．Reserved. D．Disapproving.30．What does the author suggest smart firms do?A．Shorten their office hours.B．Give employees a pay raise.C．Adopt flexible work patterns.D．Reduce their staff's workload.语篇解读：数字技术，特别是电子邮件和智能手机，使得人们可以在家远程办公。

A(2019·杭州诊断)In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class —we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”．It was like small town America didn’t exist.And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？” And this man was speechless.I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement.I want to reverse that movement.Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth athome?A．Secure. B．Fragile.C．Promising. D．Bright.2．How would the author feel about the professor’s reaction?A．It’s emotional. B．It’s natural.C．It’s positive. D．It’s disappointing.3．What is the author doing now?A．Teaching in a college.B．Fighting for the movement.C．Working with the professor.D．Devoting himself to his hometown.BCocaCola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tonsof plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to “helpfix the world’s plastic waste problem one community(社区) at atime”．The soda giant is doing so by providing $5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of CocaCola employees，” Carlos Pagoaga, CocaCola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions，” he added. “We hope the learning from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the CocaCola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U．S. today are lack of access and the pollution in recycling，”Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 thatthe citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”Last year, CocaCola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. It also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.4．What does CocaCola company intend to do in the program?A．Produce less packaging.B．Help deal with plastic waste.C．Pick up waste in communities.D．Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.5．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How CocaCola conducts its program.B．What organizations participate in the program.C．How CocaCola chooses cities for the program.D．What the local people do in CocaCola’s program.6．What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?A．Promising. B．Difficult.C．Pioneering. D．Costly.C“While extroverts(性格外向者) often make great firstimpressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities ininterviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减) overtime，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they’re part of a team，” Bendersky say s. “On a team you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.“So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player，” Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.7．What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?A．They are good listeners.B．They are good at cooperating.C．They often make great contributions.D．They tend to perform well in interviews.8．Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in paragraph 3?A．Trusting others.B．Making good choices.C．Doing their full share of work.D．Trying to share their thoughts.9．What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?A．Critical. B．Tolerant.C．Doubtful. D．Approving.10．What does Wilkins advise managers to do?A．Promote more introverts.B．Learn to work more efficiently.C．Encourage introverts to speak up.D．Avoid conflict among employees.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

社会生活类(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ·C) (2013·大纲版全国卷·C)Given that many people’s moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory,Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF’s produce is“green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper,red bean(豆),cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.【文章大意】本文介绍了新加坡的Chocolate Research Facility,它拥有100多种巧克力,并且着重介绍了几种很有风味的巧克力。

A(2019·浙江金丽衢十二校高三联考)Kevin, diagnosed with dyslexia(诵读困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”，“No”， or “Maybe”in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a lowincome area in Sydney’s western suburbs —and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story(创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an alltime high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.1．What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A．To improve their test scores.B．To create a hot dog business.C．To teach in lowincome areas.D．To be beneficial to the local area.2．What does the underlined word“ki ndle”in the last parag raph probably mean?A．Inspire. B．Share.C．Continue. D．Express.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．On the Road to RecoveryB．Turning Failure into SuccessC．Growing Wealthy Through Hard WorkD．From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderBFor six hundred years, the Tower of London’s most exotic(异国风情的) prisoners were animals.The Royal Menagerie(动物园) began as a result of kingsexchanging rare and strange animals as gifts.In 1235, Henry Ⅲ was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor FrederickⅡ.These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower.Henry’s“wildcats”， although described as leopards, were probably lions.These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today.In 1251 the lions were joined by a“white bear”probably a polar bear—given by the King of Norway.In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant never seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel sight. Sadly, the elephant died in 1258.Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long.But the Royal Menagerie continued to grow.Edward Ⅰ created a permanent new home for the Royal Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower，which became known as the Lion Tower.The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.However, the end of the Royal Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen.The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’s Park, today’s London Zoo.Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on，several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced KingWilliam Ⅳ to shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835.The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later demolished.4．What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255?A．It caused big trouble.B．It received much attention.C．It lived painfully in the Lion Tower.D．It died before the polar bear came in.5．How many types of animals at the Royal Menagerie are mentioned in the text?A．Eight. B．Nine.C．Ten. D．Eleven.6．Which is the best title for the text?A．The Royal MenagerieB．Gifts Presented to the KingC．Tourist Attractions in LondonD．Miserable Life in the Lion TowerCWe humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones,tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It mightbe, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stareat our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.7．What do we know about blue light?A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B．It has the shortest wavelength.C．It may come from electronic devices.D．It consumes a great deal of energy.8．What causes the p opularity of bluelightblocking glasses?A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B．Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.C．Widespread use of smart devices.D．Scientific understanding of blue light.9．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.10．According to the text, w earing bluelightblocking glasses may be ________．A．tiring B．harmfulC．useless D．beneficial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能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But Su Hanting, a 16yearold boy, spent last year's Spring Festival Eve at a desk, translating a classic work of English literature.Su started translating The Story of King Arthur and HisKnights(1903), a 120, 000word by an American author, Howard Pyle,during his winter vacation. He didn't take a break during thebiggest festival of the year. “Every second counts，”Su said.Like many teenagers of his age, Su enjoys reading both Chinese and English classics. But the idea of translating only occurred to him by chance — he was just helping his classmates to figure out some of the medieval (中世纪的) place names in this book. But once he started, he couldn't stop. For the ancient place names and the titles of the Knights, he searched online, looked for maps in the library and read historical documents related to King Arthur. Meanwhile, he also read the original novel over and over again to make sure of the thoughts and emotions as well as possible.His preparation paid_off. It only took him three months, mostly during his winter vacation, to translate the book. And that includes the time he lost after finishing 80,000 words that were gone because of a computer bug. The translated version came out on November 15th and has won high praise from experts.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了十六岁的男孩苏汉廷在帮同学查找《亚瑟王和他的骑士们》中的地名时偶然萌生了翻译这部作品的想法。

It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅)—the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand. Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks. Billy—the baby blue penguin.” Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff. Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.

B You can’t see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slowwave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch(抽动) and she flicks(轻拂) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis(麻痹)”． Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched their backs at unseen enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing, and fighting. In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats’ brain waves while they learned mazes. One day, her left the brainwaverecording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about! Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn. Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how - 3 -
often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down. 4．What does Michel Jouvet find in his study? A．The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis. B．The dreaming cats often practise their important skills. C．The eyes of dreaming cats move while bodies are still. D．The legs of the dreaming cats can’t move. 5．What can you know about dreaming from the passage? A．Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more. B．Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn. C．Rats often dream to work out their recent learning. D．Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors. 6．How does the author develop his passage? A．By making comparisons. B．By using figures. C．By telling stories. D．By showing facts. C Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs. By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the Earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet. Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances. Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural
