阅读理解Waste. It's something we're often told not to do.At home, parents tell us not to waste food. In the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On a sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy. People who don't want to hear our ideas, tell us not to "waste our breath". Whether it's food, time, energy or breath—waste is a loss of something valuable. Waste happens because we use too much of a material or because we don't use it well.We often use "waste" in agreement. If we're unhappy with someone, we can say: "Don't waste my time." If we're really angry with someone, we can say, "You are a waste of space." And if you're not happy with the result of something you've done, you can say, "Well, that was a complete waste of time." If someone is very sick or is losing a lot of weight, we can say he is "wasting away". And if someone has too much time and cannot control his words and actions, we can say he is "wasted".We also find it in some useful expressions. "Haste makes waste." means if you do something in a hurry, you may make mistakes. And it takes more time and efforts to fix mistakes.(1)When we use something too much or don't use it well, it means we ________ it.A.cost B.afford C.disappoint D.waste(2)What can you say when you're really angry with somebody?A.Don't waste our time.B.You are a waste of space.C.That was a complete waste of time.D.You are wasting away.(3)What will happen if we do something in a hurry according to the last paragraph?A.We may waste space.B.We may waste money.C.We may make mistakes.D.We may fix our mistakes.It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I'd just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early flight. My sons and I then went for breakfast. After eating we'd like to return home.The restaurant was on a hill. At the foot of the hill was a stop sign, so we had to wait behind a long line of traffic while the cars at the foot turned onto the main road one by one. As I looked down, I saw an elderly man standing by the sign. His clothes were old and he held a sign with the words. "Need Help Please!" written on it. My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation. As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for the money. Just then l saw a young lady walk up to him along the side of the road. She was carrying a bag full of food from the restaurant. I watched as the old man thanked her and smiled.Suddenly there was a loud noise from the car behind me. It made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had caught my attention and my heart so much. By the time I reached the sign, both the man and the lady had gone. Yet, as I drove home, the sun seemed to shine even brighter.A choice is such a powerful thing. It can touch a heart and change one's life. Each day we are given a thousand choices. May you make all of yours for kindness. May you make your whole life a choice for love and joy.(1)How did the writer go to the restaurant?A.By plane. B.On foot. C.By car. D.By bus.(2)Who helped the elderly man at last?A.The writer.

In general, "free time" is a luxury; it's "free" time because it's time spent not working, studying, or running. To be honest, the beauty of free time is that you don't have to do anything; you can be free to choose what you want to do. When I have free time, I love to go for a run, draw and watch some of my favorite TV plays.I've just had a whole month of free time at home with my parents. I finished working as a teacher at the end of April, and I was just about to start a new job in a publishing company. However, this month was not all that I thought it would be. Before I came home. I had plans to get healthier, do more about art, read more and so on. And guess what...NONE of it happened. I was lazy, I watched TV all day and I ate too much chocolate.I've discovered that when you have too much free time, it just turns into "time", and trying to pass that time becomes boring. It becomes much more difficult to make yourself do interesting things. It's a strange thing, but I think it's the same for most people. When you only have a little lit of free time, it becomes more valuable, and you can use it well. But when you have too much free time, you simply waste it.(1)When the writer has free time, he likes to ________.A.go shopping and runB. play basketball and drawC.sing, dance and watch TVD.run, draw and watch TV plays(2)What does the underlined word "luxury" mean?A.Free thing. B.Cheap thing. C.heap thing. D.Useful thing.(3)Where was the writer going to work after working as a teacher?A.In a shop. B.In a company. C.In a factory. D.Just at home.(4)When is the free time valuable?A.When you have a little free time.B.When you have much free time.C.When you have a long vacation.D. When you have many plans.(5)What is the best title for the passage?A.Free time make me happyB.I love to have free timeC.Too much free time is boringD.Have plans for your free time阅读短文,并按照要求完成下面的小题。Feeling Sad? Hug a Tree!To stay safe during COVID-19, we've had to give up many things we enjoy, including physical touch with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs.A survey shows that humans need physical touch to stay healthy. Without it, many of us become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close: A tree!Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy(疗法)for years. The Japanese Shinrin-Yoku is an example. It means forest bath in Japanese. But no soap or water is needed for it. All that is spending time in nature: listening to its sound, breathing in its smell, connecting to its life force.Recently, Israel has been improving tree hugging on social media. The manager of a park said, "In this unpleasant special period, we advise people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love." Inside the park. some visitors followed the advice and hugged trees. One of them said. "The most basic human need is connection(联系), touching and hugging. We aren't hugging many people these days. Hugging a tree is a quite nice thing to do."Iceland's Forest Service started a similar activity in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. The officers also cleared ways in the forests so that visitors could socially distance while they searched for that special tree. "There are plenty of trees," said a worker, "no need for everyone to hug the same tree."(1)题完成句子;(2)、(3)题简略回答问题;(4)题找出并写下第四段的主题句;(5)题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 (1)To keep healthy, people have to give up ________ touch like handshakes, kisses and hugs during COVID-19.

1 MOOC, an open online course, aims at providing interactive discussion and open access via the web. In additionto traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants.2 MOOCs first made waves in the fall of 2011, when Professor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University opened his graduate-level artificial intelligence course up to any student anywhere, and 160,000 students in more than 190 countries signed up. This new kind of online classes is shaking up the higher education world in many ways. Since the courses can be taken by hundreds of thousands of students at the same time, the number of universities might decrease greatly. Professor Thrun has even imagined a future in which there will only need to be 10 universities in the world. Perhaps the most impressive thing about MOOCs, many of which are being taught by professors at prestigious (声誉高的) universities, is that they're free. This is certainly good news for cash-strapped students.3 There is a lot of excitement and fear about MOOCs. While some say free online courses are a great way to increase the enrollment of minority students, others have said they will leave many students behind. Some critics have said that MOOCs encourage an unrealistic one-size-fits-all model of higher education and that there is no replacement for true dialogues between professors and their students. After all, a brain is not a computer. We are not blank hard drives waiting to be filled with data. People learn from people they love and remember the things that arouse emotion. Some critics worry that online students will miss out on the social aspects of college.(1)What can we learn about MOOCs? ( )A. It is cheap for students to take the courses.B. Most courses are about artificial intelligence.C. They have decreased the number of universities.D. Many courses are offered by professors from famous universities.(2)What does the underlined word "cash-strapped" in paragraph 2 mean? ( )A. Fond of money.B. Short of money.C. Careful with money.D. Be out of money.(3)What is the disadvantage of MOOCs? ( )A. They offer limited courses.B. They don't provide traditional course materials.C. They rely heavily on professors from good universities.D. They lack social interaction among students and professors.(4)What is the purpose of the text? ( )A. To give an introduction of MOOCs.B. To put an advertisement for MOOCs.C. To describe the influence of artificial intelligence.D. To express a critical attitude towards artificial intelligence.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for
The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
