Five ways to make a great first impression(印象)！Researchers have discovered that, in general, it only takes seven seconds for a person to start making judgments about you when they first meet you. That's why you should follow these useful tips on how to create a good first impression.1.________Before meeting someone, start thinking about the purpose of the meeting. Are you trying to impress them? For example, if you want to make new friends at a social event, you will want to appear friendly. And if you decide to run for class president at your school, you will need to appear confident（自信）.2.________Smiling is the most important thing you can do when meeting someone new. It shows that you're friendly and makes people around you feel more comfortable. To have a winning smile, make sure your teeth are clean by brushing them every day.3.________Before you begin speaking, you will be judged on your body language. Therefore, it's important to show trust in yourself by standing up tall and putting your shoulders back. Besides, if you uncross your arms, you will appear relaxed and friendly.4.________How you smell can influence people's first impression of you. If you have a bad body smell, it will put people off. In short, aim to smell clean and avoid putting on a lot of scented products.5.________What you wear matters. While you should look clean and tidy, it's also important to dress properly, whether you're going to a birthday party or a sporting event. You should think aboutwhat your clothes say about you.【答案】1.F 2. D 3.E 4. A 5. B2020-2021学年浙江省杭州市西湖区十三中九年级上学期12月月考英语试卷第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)下面文章有五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题。

Some say the custom started even before the Romans lived in that country 2000 years ago.Most say cheese rolling has been going on for at least a couple of centuries as a celebration of the beginning of summer.Each year, thousands of spectators come to Cooper's Hill to watch people chase a three kilogram round of Double Gloucester Cheese down the hillside. There are separate races for men and women, and uphill races for boys and girls too. The winners get to keep the rounds of cheese they have tried so hard to catch. However, no one ever catches the cheese because it runs fast down the slope at nearly 110 kilometers per hour！It is funny to imagine people chasing a little wheel of cheese as it rolls down a hill, but maybe it is not so funny to see it because Cooper's Hill is very Steep（陡峭的）.Every year, several of the cheese chasers tumble down the hill. Often, people have their bones broken, but this has not stopped the event from taking place.Would you chase cheese down a hill?19.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？A. The place where the event is heldB. The time when the event is held.C. The history the event already has.D. The reason why the event is held.20.What does the word "spectators" mean in Paragraph 3？A. People who report the event.B. People who work for the event.C. People who take part in the event.D. People who are watching the event.21.Cheese rolling players are grouped according to ______.A. Sex and Height.B. Age and WeightC. Sex and age.D. Height and Weight22.What does the writer think of the cheese rolling event？A. It's funny.B. It's tiring.C. It's dangerous.D. It's crowded.Key：ADCCCEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.23. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dull24. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round25.Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth.B. Geese.C. Meese.D. Tooth.26.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy.B. Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.Key：AABCDYoung people are perhaps better- known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that. These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people.Nineteen -year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year. "I have to save for all my college money because my parents can't offer me enough. So, I have to depend on my own savings, "She said. But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Ms Scott began using Smartypig, a web-based banking service. She said, "When I do that, I stop the drive to just spend the money.Michael Ferrari developed Smartypig with a friend in 2007. Smartypig is really all about helping people save for very specific financial goals. So that could be a wedding, a vacation an I-phone. Mr. Ferrari says Smartypig opened after he started a college savings account for his new baby. He says that experience helped him realize the power of saving for a specific goal. Helping other savers pay attention to their goals is the idea behind his online company Michael Ferrari said, "For example, I'm saving up for a vacation. I want to save 5,000 dollars. I want to meet this goal in three years. Smartypig will in fact help you know how much money you need to save every month. You don't have to move from your present bank. We'll actually go in and get those money on the day you refer to every month and we'll put them into your Smartypig account, where they ll actually increase interest, as well.Twenty-two-year-old Khang Nguyen is studying engineering in college. He likes being able to share his saving goals with his online community. He said, "I think it's actually a good thing that they are able to see it. Like, a group of my friends after they found out, you know, about what I do, they always come ask me for financial advice.”A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking websites like Smartypig. They like their operation and services and like to share their personal information online.27. According to the text, users of Smartypig_______.A.have to go to the bank to enjoy their serviceB. can share financial experiences with othersC. must set up their own websites for the serviceD have no information to watch over their money28. Why did Alix Scott depend on her own savings?A. She refused her parents' helpB. Her parents didn't know SmartypigC. Her parents didn't give her money.D. Her parents were very poor29. Who will like Smartypig most according to the text?A. The rich adults B The businessmanC. Michael Ferraris new baby. D The poor young men30. What is the passage mainly about?A. Michael Ferraris experience B Smartypig and the banksC. Introduction of Smartypig D Ways to save moneyKey：BDDC第二节（共5小题, 毎小题2分, 满分10分）下面文章中有5处需要添加首句, 请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的首句。

The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green,orange,yellow and white.The scientist told us that colous also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?
