【题目】 In Britain, business leaders are becoming increasingly concerned that growing numbers of new employees are unable to divide a real pie into eight equal slices.

There are so many examples of the shortage of basic literacy and numeration (读写和计算) skills among many school and university leavers.

A report from the Confederation of British Industry says the problem is so bad that one in three employers has to send staff for training to learn the English and maths they did not learn at school.

“Employers’ views on numeration and literacy are clear — people must read and write fluently and must be able to carry out basic mental arithmetic (算术).” Richard Lambert, director general of the CBI, said.

The CBI report, Working on the Three R’s, which was sponsored by the Department for Education, found that poor literacy was a problem in all fields, while poor numeration was of particular concern in the manufacturing and construction field.

One company manager complained of a “total lack of knowledge of timetables” among staff, which meant many were unable to carry out simple calculations.

A personnel manager for a construction firm said that many applicants were unable to construct a sentence and that grammar, and their handwriting and spelling were often “awful”. He also mentioned the case of an employee who became very expert at hiding his lack of literacy by getting his wife to write his reports for him. The problems are not limited to school leavers, but extend to higher levels of the education system, the CBI said.

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

A.How to Divide a Pie into Eight Parts

B.How to Grasp Basic Literacy and Numeration Skills

C.British School Leavers Lack Basic Literacy and Numeration Skills

D.Train School Leavers to Learn English and Maths

【2】According to the last paragraph, we can know that ________.

A.literacy problems go beyond the education system.

B.an employee asked his mother to write reports for him

C.the schools were to blame for the lack of literacy skills

D.the applicants were poor students in school

【3】The purpose of writing this passage is to _________.

A.offer ways to improve the school leavers’ basic skill

B.criticize the existing education system

C.present some information about school leavers

D.make comments on employment

【答案】

【题目】 For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work and he began picking up the trash. That is how plogging was born!

Plogging, by that term，may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington，D. C. He would often pick up trash while running outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without stopping.

Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun. When Dana Allen goes plogging around D. C., she invites her friends, and they make a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging，she doesn’t do it all the time. When she is training for a serious marathon race，the trash has to wait.

Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app，Lifesum，records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.

Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep knee bends as well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves. There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone. to pick up an empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.

【1】What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?

A.He was the first person to plog.B.He has been actually plogging.

C.He is in support of eco-travelling.D.He is an expert in picking up trash.

【2】What is so special about Dana Allen’s plogging?

A.She doesn’t always do it with her friends.

B.She always finds it interesting to do it.

C.She nearly does it in a park every day.

D.She doesn’t insist doing it every day.

【3】What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.Picking up trash is important.B.Plogging events are of little use.

C.Plogging is a better workout.D.The idea of plogging is strange.

【4】Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?

A.To avoid a crash.B.To save energy.

C.To pick up more trash.D.To make it unknown.

【题目】 In 2005, Winston Duncan was traveling with his mother in Southern Africa when he saw an old lady and young boy walking down a road together. He thought of his own grandmother and wondered how he could help the old lady and others in Africa who have to walk a long way.

Duncan, who lived in Washington State was 10 at the time, and his solution was to give them bikes. With his mom, he started Wheels to Africa, an organization that for the past 14 years has taken bicycles donated from residents of the. Washington area and shipped them across the world to people in need.

Most of the 8000 bikes they have collected have gone to countries in Africa, helping cut down hours of walking for students and other postmen. But last week, Duncan, travelled with a handful of volunteers and 400 bikes to a destination much closer to his home yet still in need: Puerto Rico. More than a year after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, the island suffers from transportation problems.

"It was a little chaotic (混乱的) — as soon as they got their bikes, they were just having fun riding around the parking lot," said Austin Higgins, a New Jersey resident who recently joined Wheels to Africa as its photographer and videographer. "Some people who received bicycles were almost speechless, and some of them cried, because it was something they had requested for Christmas from Santa Claus," he said.

The donated bikes included some high-end racing models, which went to teenagers interested in pursuing serious cycling.

Duncan recently graduated from Bard College and is in Arlington working at a political consulting firm. He now encourages kids in the Washington area to get involved with the organization, and some have joined him on trips to Africa and on this trip to Puerto Rico.

"I wanted to try to get people to think about giving back,” he said.

A.He hoped to make his grandmother feel happy.

B.He was fond of collecting different types of bikes.

C.He wanted to help the poor people to live better.

D.He was greatly supported by his mother to do so.

【2】What can we learn about Wheels to Africa?

A.It has been managed for fourteen years.

B.It has delivered about 400 bikes to Africa.

C.It has many young kids as its members now.

D.It collects bicycles from all the areas in the U. S.

【3】What can we infer from Austin Higgin's words in Paragraph Four?

A.The delivery usually meets with some trouble.

B.The people who got bikes were excited and grateful.

C.It was very difficult for Duncan to collect enough bikes.

D.People in Africa required him to dress up as Santa Claus.

【4】What is probably the best title of the text?

Life is full of variously experiences, some of them are unforgettable. I still remember the hiking experiences with my classmates for 16 kilometers a year later. That summer day, we set off early in the morning, think it would be a great fun to walk for so long a distance. However, with the weather getting hotter and hotter, I found their legs heavier and heavier. Worse still, my feet began bleeding because being pressed against the shoes a long time. At one point, I even wanted to give up. But I manage to drag the rest of the way to the destination. Though not pleasant, this journey was impressive or rewarding. I have learned that life is a long journey like this. No matter what happens, we should never give up.
