题目内容

【题目】 It was Halloween（万圣节）, which is a big deal when you’re seven. I was sitting in my Sleeping Beauty costume, eagerly waiting for my dad to come home so he could take me to go trick or treating. My father had been away on a business trip. He was supposed to return earlier that day, but it was midnight…Finally I nodded off.

The next morning I guessed that my mom had already known something I didn’t find out for another couple of days. It was my dad who had a new identity（身份）: plane crash survivor. He told us about it later. It had been raining as he got on the plane for home. The plane was cleared for taking off on one runway but turned too far and ended up taking off on another runway, which was closed. Because of the rain, the pilot couldn’t see the heavy construction equipment（施工设施）blocking the runway, and the plane crashed right into it. The left wing was torn off, the fuselage（机身）split in two, and fire shot through the plane. Nearly half of the passengers died, but amazingly, my dad was unhurt. He couldn’t breathe because of the smoke, so he ran toward the exit and walked out.

My father told me when the plane crashed, he first thought of us. As sad as he felt at the thought of never seeing us again, he also felt a sense of relief（解脱）that all his business and financial（财务的）worries would be over. When he survived, he saw it as a second chance. He valued his second life, so he sold his business and started a new one. Now he is a successful businessman. I’m so proud of my dad for this.

【1】The author was waiting for her father to return home so she could ________.

A.share his business trip story.B.buy a Sleeping Beauty costume with him.

A.He thought everyone would die.

B.He thought he wouldn’t be troubled by his business problems.

The good news, however, is that new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that many professionals can increase their happiness by using their incomes to buy back some of that lost time through the use of time-saving services such as housecleaners or online personal assistants.

Study authors Ashley Whillans and Elizabeth Dunn found that when people spend money on such services, happiness improves. Their findings suggest that “using money to buy time may provide benefits by serving as a buffer（缓冲器）against the harmful effects of time pressure on overall life satisfaction”.

Spending money on a big purchase, such as an expensive car, can feel good and serve as a reward for having worked so hard. Research has consistently shown, however, that the gains from such material purchases are short lived. Instead, buying back time and then using it to go after meaningful activities is more likely to result in long-term gains in well-being.

There are the obvious tasks that have been outsourced（外包）for decades，such as house cleaning or meal preparation. In my own physician coaching practice, it amazes me how many of my physician clients do not take full advantage of these classic opportunities to save time, particularly meal services. When your time is worth well over $100 to 200 an hour, how could you NOT pay another person far less than that to do the job better than you would do it yourself?

Regaining a couple of hours on your only day off can change your well-being. How different would you feel if you had a few more hours to spend quality time with other people, improve your health, or try a new hobby?

【1】Which of the following is true according to this passage?

A.Physicians often do boring tasks for their family.

B.Time pressure often has effects on life satisfaction.

C.Physician clients never use time-saving services.

D.People all should regain time to change their well-being.

【2】What will lead to long-term gains in well-being?

A.Meal preparation.B.Earning high incomes.

C.Buying expensive materials.D.Spending quality time with family.

【3】What is the author?

A.A physician coach.B.A salesman.

C.A researcher.D.A reporter.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A.To persuade people to spend money wisely.

B.To introduce some ways to gain happiness.

C.To advise physicians to buy time for happiness.

D.To state physicians’ terrible working environment.

【题目】 If humans ever settle on Mars, they will need water. There is just one problem---there seems to be only huge sheets of ice. Luckily, we know how to drill(钻孔） ice for water. Such methods are already used in Antarctica, and researchers now think they could get them to work on the Red Planet, too. The atmosphere of Mars is too dry to make extracting water vapour from it possible. So ice seems the best bet. But the obvious ice sheets are in the unlivable polar ice caps and would be difficult to reach for drilling.

However, in 2018, at the edge of the cliffs, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted relatively accessible water ice that is probably at least 130metres thick and covered in just a few metres of rock and dust. These may be the best place to get the water needed for future exploration of the planet.

The drilling techniques needed have already been developed for cold areas on Earth where we need to melt buried ice for water. In the early 1960s the US Army used a type of subsurface reservoir(水库)called Rod Well, in army camps in Greenland. The method works by drilling through the ground into the ice, melting the ice to create a pool, and then pumping water up. By supplying heat continuously, they create a reservoir and a steady water supply. It has been used in remote areas such as the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station Stephen Hoffman at the Aerospace Corporation in Texas and his colleagues simulated(模拟)how a Rod Well would do on Mars. They found that with the power of 9 kilowatts (千瓦)to melt ice, it could in theory produce about 380 litres of water each day and maintain a reservoir of constant size at the bottom of a borehole(钻孔). That is close to the average daily water use each person in the US, but about 10 times what each astronaut on the International Space Station uses daily.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "extracting" in the first paragraph ?

A.obtainingB.protecting

C.PreventingD.choosing

【2】Why does the author mention the Rod Well in Paragraph 3?

A.To explain how water ice is drilled on Mars.

B.To tell about the history of water ice drilling techniques.

C.To prove the importance of water ice drilling techniques

D.To show techniques for drilling water wells in Martian ice exist.

【3】On average, how much water does an astronaut on the International Space Station use daily?

A.10 litresB.38 litres

C.160 litresD.380 litres

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Preparing to settle on the Red Planet one day.

B.Finding water on the Red Planet for survival.

C.Using some ways to create a livable environment on Mars.

D.Drilling water wells in Martian ice to survive on Mars.

【题目】 Elephant, horse and cow wastes could be endless sources for a key element needed to make paper. It is good news for some nations where trees are scarce while animal wastes come in especially handy.

The idea for the unusual use of elephant and cow wastes first came to mind when researcher Dr Alexander Bismarck noticed something strange about goat wastes while vacationing in Greece. He observed some goats eating summer-dry grass and came to an interesting conclusion about what they digest.

Dr Bismarck said： “I realized what comes out in the end is partially digested plant matter so there must be cellulose （纤维素）there". Animals eat dry grass containing cellulose, chew it and digest it in their stomach and then produce wastes. Up to 40 percent of those wastes are cellulose, which is easily accessible. Therefore, making paper from the partially digested material would take much less energy than using raw wood. Additionally, it would require fewer chemical treatments.

This supply of raw material is plenty： parks in Africa that are home to hundreds of elephants produce tons of wastes every day, and enormous cattle farms in the US and Europe produce mountains of wastes.

In order to make paper, the material must be processed with a special method. But it requires little because there is no need to break it down into small parts for use in paper, in contrast to conventional methods which need a lot of energy to break down wood.

Using wastes, we can reduce the number of steps needed in papermaking, simply because the animal already chewed the plant and attacked it with acid in their stomachs. You inexpensively produce a paper staff that has the same or even better properties than that from wood, with lower energy and chemical consumption.

【1】What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?

A.The observation of goat wastes.B.The usage of animal wastes.

C.The origin of the unusual idea.D.The vacation spent in Greece.

【2】Animal wastes can be used to make paper mainly because ________.

A.they will never run outB.they are easy to access

C.they are partly digestedD.they contain much cellulose

【3】What is the advantage of making paper from animal wastes?

A.It is more profitable.B.It is energy-saving.

C.It needs less material.D.It fits all parts of the world.

【4】What is the probable explanation of the underlined word “attack"?

A.Treat.B.Mix.

C.Clean.D.Protect.

Two weeks ago, I helped my dear Joan, one of my close friends 【1】 just graduated, move out of her apartment. We decided 【2】 (have)a nice dinner before she moved back to her hometown 400 miles away, but being the caring person she is, she had offered her time to help her friends move during dinner, even though she 【3】 (her)needed to pack and donate things.
