8.As we know,employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day.However,many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing(61)to accept  (accept) less pay in order to do so.Now employees have the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths of(62)their (they) normal pay.This would benefit both the individual companies and the employees(63)who/that decided to take the option.In this way,employees would feel more rested and watchful (留心的).As(64)aresult,they would make fewer costly errors in their work.Thus,the(65)shortened(short) workweek would increase company profit.Companies can hire more staff to ensure that the same amount of work would be done without more pay.For the country as a whole,one of the primary(66)benefits(benefit) is that it would reduce unemployment rates.If a lot of full-time employees started working fewer hours,some of their workload would have to(67)be given(give) to others.(68)Finally(final),the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees.As long as the employees could accept a lower salary,they could improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time(69)with their families,following private interests,or enjoying(70)various(vary)forms of relaxation.

分析 短文介绍了缩短工作时间不仅给员工而且给公司都带来了相应的好处.

解答 61.to accept 考查动词不定式.be willing to do 是固定短语,表示愿意做某事.
62.their 考查代词.句意为:很多员工选择工作4天,收入是他们正常的五分之四,故使用their 表示他们的.
63.who/that 考查连接词.此处是定语从句,缺少主语,先行词是 the employees,故使用who/that.
64.a 考查关词.as a result为固定短语,表示结果.
65.shortened 考查非谓语.shorten和workweek之间是被动关系,即被缩短的工作日.
66.benefits 考查名词.benefit是可数名词,利益好处,前面有one of修饰,故使用复数形式.
67.be given 考查被动 语态.句意为:他们工作的负担将不得不给其他人,workload和give之间是被动关系.
68.Finally 考查副词.此处finally为副词修饰整个句子.
69.with 考查介词.spend time with sb 与某人一起度过时间.
70.various 考查形容词.此处修饰forms of relaxation放松形式需用形容词,表示各种各样的休闲形式.

18.What can you imagine the life 100years from now?In fact,no one can know it from now,but scientists studying the evolution of the society,human life and the world in general make such kind of predictions based on scientific data.According to their publications in scientific journals,let's see how the world might look like in 100years from now.
Embedded computers
According to predictions by Ian Pearson and Patrick Tucker,by 2050the human body will be embedded2with computers,at least in a big part of the population,and by 2075most of the citizens of the developed world will have some kind of chips built in their brains to make them work faster and share thoughts in the form of computer data.
Superhuman geniuses
Developments in genetic engineering will create human geniuses who will live forever.Does it sound unbelievable?It is sure that there will be a way to influence the brain to increase the intelligence level and with the help of genetics it will be possible to maintain human body for many years.
Global currency
According to futurists,it is very likely that a global electronic currency will be created.They say that the local and national currencies will be few until mid-century and will gradually disappear,let alone metal currencies.
Three world languages
There will be only three world languages:English,Spanish and Chinese.Other languages will have no chance to survive through time.Futurists say that many minority languages are already extinct and the fact that all educated people in the world speak at least one of these languages will help in this way.
Oceans as a food source
It is one of the most"confident"future developments,according to scientists,because if the world population continues growing at the same rate,it will reach ten billion.So the food will not be enough.Thus the oceans will be used to raise fish and to provide populations with fresh water taken from the sea plants.
Journeys into space
Most futurists agree on this and believe that some kind of tourist attractions will be created in space,although they will be affordable only for wealthy people.
5.Why will there be only English,Spanish and Chinese according to the passage?C
A.Because other languages won't be important.
B.Because people who speak minority languages won't be willing to speak their native languages.
C.Because more and more educated people speak English,Spanish and Chinese,which will cause many minority languages extinct
D.Because in the whole world all the people must not speak other languages.

13.请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150 词左右的文章.
Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it's very necessary to give each other whatever help that might be required.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want-an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.

Friendship plays a very important role in our life.It's just like a cup of tea.When we're thirsty,it'll be our best choice.True friendship lasts forever even though sometimes it is troubled.(34 words)
As students,we can share more time with our friends.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends,especially when I have Jim as one of my best friends.We have shared happiness and sorrows with each other since we were classmates at primary school.And we help each other with our study.
What if our friendship is troubled?First,we should never let our pride get in our way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when we're wrong-even if we've been wronged.What's more,see things from our friends'point of view.Last but not least,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change.(123 words).
