阅读单选We see robots in our everyday life. They play us music, help us do housework and stay with us when we are alone. Now they can help us even more. Singapore is trying a new way to get people stay away from each other. People in Singapore now see a yellow and black robot "dog" called Spot in the parks. Boston Dynamics, a US company, designed the robot. It has a camera to scan(扫描)the environment, so it knows how many people are in the park. The dog goes around the park and plays a pre-recorded message, telling visitors to stay away from each other. There are many videos about Spot online. It can climb up stairs, dance to music, go through difficult areas and even open doors. The robot dog now works in only some of the parks in Singapore, but this is about to change. "It works very well. We are now thinking about putting a robot dog in every park in Singapore, " one of the officials(官员)says. Thanks to technology, we are now seeing more robots doing different jobs. They make our life much easier.(1)The passage mainly talks about ________.A.what the robot dog looks likeB.people's everyday lifeC.robot dogs in Singapore parksD.the future life in Singapore(2)The officials plan to put robot dogs in ________.A.some houses B.all houses C.some parks D.all parks(3)The robot dog Spot helps people ________.A.stay away from each otherB.climb up stairs of a buildingC.live an easier and better lifeD.go through difficult areasThere was a man named Zhou Chu who lived during the Western Jin Dynasty(265-316). He was very strong—stronger than any other man in the village. People were scared of him because he often bullied(欺负)villagers. At that time, a man-eating tiger and a deepwater monster(怪物) lived nearby. They often caused trouble for the village. People called them, along with Zhou, the "three evils"(三害). One day, some villagers asked Zhou to help them kill the tiger and the monster. After three days of fighting, Zhou finally killed them and came back. But the villagers thought he was dead. They celebrated his death. After seeing this, Zhou realized how much he was hated and decided to make a change. He visited a famous scholar(学者)named Lu Yim. Lu told him, If one realized what is good in the morning, he can change his behavior in the evening. Just do what you think is right." From then on, Zhou became a good person and stopped bullying others. Later he became a great soldier(战士)and died protecting his country. Zhou Chu is a great example of the Chinese saying: "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold." We all make mistakes. But it's never too late to correct them. On the other hand, we should also be more tolerant(宽容的)of those who sometimes make mistakes. Maybe they've made mistakes in the past, but they can do great things as long as they return to the right road.(1)According to the passage, who were the three evils?A.The man-eating tiger, the deepwater monster and Zhou Chu.B.The villagers, the man-eating tiger and the deepwater monster.C.The man-eating tiger, the deepwater monster and the enemies.D.Some villagers, the famous scholar and the deepwater monster.(2)What's the right order of the story? ①Zhou decided to be a good person. ②Zhou killed the tiger and the monster. ③The villagers thought Zhou was dead and celebrated his death. ④Zhou Chu often bullied villagers. ⑤Zhou became a great soldier and died for his country.A.②③④①⑤ B.②③①④⑤ C.④②③①⑤ D.④③②①⑤(3)The Chinese of the underlined sentence "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold." is ________.A.一心不能二用 B.浪子回头金不换 C.一失足成千古恨 D.玉不琢,不成器(4)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Zhou Chu was the strongest person in his village.B.It's never too late for everyone to correct his mistakes.C.The villagers were afraid of Zhou Chu because of his looks.D.Zhou Chu learned a good lesson from the villagers and Lu Yun.“Da-da-da daaaaah! ” These four notes are strong and full of power(力量). Even if you don't know Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827), you have probably heard these notes before. This year is the 250th anniversary(周年)of Beethoven's birth. Born in Germany, he is one of the greatest musicians in history. The four opening notes above comes from his Symphony No.5(第五交响乐, also known as Fate(命运交响乐). Like this symphony, many of Beethoven’s works are rich in emotion(情感). They probably came from his hard life. He started to lose his hearing in his 20s. But he chose to face this pain and turn his feelings into music. In Symphony No.5, for example, you can hear anger and grief(悲痛)in the powerful notes. But as the music goes on, it sounds like a man who is moving from darkness into light. In the end, when the strings(弦乐)and drums play together, you know that the man has beaten fate. “I will seize(扼住)fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome(战胜)me,” Beethoven once wrote. This spirit of his music will never stop giving people strength. Ludwig van Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. About 20,000 people went to his funeral(葬礼)in Vienna, Austria in 1827. Schools were closed and military(军队)was there to keep order. In 1977 Beethoven's Symphony No.5 was sent into outer space by the US Voyagerprobe(“旅行者号”飞船).(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Symphony No 5 is strong and full of joy.B.eethoven was a famous British musician.C.Bad fate never made Beethoven give up music.D.Beethoven stopped his work because of illness.(2)What made Beethoven’s music rich in emotion?A.He had many fans and friends.B.He experienced a lot of pain.C.He had a great talent for music.D.He forgot everything except music.(3)Symphony No.5 shows that Beethoven ________.A.has finally overcome difficultiesB.enjoyed the darkness in his lifeC.wanted to bring his music to spaceD.decided to live a quite different life(4)What can we infer from this passage?A.Hard life and bad fate can help a musician create great music.B.We needn5t worry, instead we should take everything as it comes.C.Beethoven5s music can bring happiness to a person's hard life.D.Beethoven's music has the power to encourage people to beat fate.The Chinese high-speed rails may stand out(突出)because of its scale(规模). There are more than twice as many high-speed trains in China as the rest of the world. Cities like Beijing have several hundred high-speed trains stopping at the city every day, much more than any other big cities abroad. And every year when the Chinese Spring Festival comes, about 3 billion(十亿) trips take place within 2 weeks. It would be the same as every American taking 10 trips during Christmas, or every European taking 5 trips during Christmas. All the train tickets are gone within 10 seconds once they can be bought online. The high-speed trains are really great. Firstly, China 5s technology on building the railway is leading the rest of the world and there is no sign that any other country could go beyond China in near future. Secondly, China's trains are based on Japanese, German and French models. At last, the scale of Chinese high-speed train is unthinkable to other countries, which has high-speed train network(网络). I had my first chance to ride the high-speed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou. The train was amazing. It is clean and the seats are huge. You can't even feel how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be able to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h. I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high-speed trains are of great difference. I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited.(1)What's the main idea of this passage?A.Chinese high-speed trains are amazing.B.Different kinds of trains in the world.C.My first chance to ride the high-speed trains.D.How fast the Chinese high-speed trains are!(2)In Paragraph 1 the writer supported his opinion mainly by ________.A.telling a short story B.explaining die reasons paring some facts D.following a time order(3)What does the underlined word "they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.merican people. B.Train tickets. C.European people. D.Train trips.(4)What does the writer think about the Chinese high-speed train?A.He worries about it.B.It needs to be improved.C.An Amtrak train is better.D.He thinks highly of it.①Amy and Susan both live an average(平常的)life. They have an average house, an average job and an average family. There is really nothing special about their lives, but there is also nothing really negative(消极的)about their lives. ②However, when they are both happy, it always seems that Amy is happier than Susan. It looks like nothing can trouble Amy. She is the life of the party and always has a big smile on her face. ③ Susan can't stop thinking about this. How is Amy so happy when they both lead such similar lives? They go to the same stores, watch the same movies, even have similar schedules! How can Amy be so carefree when life is so stressful? ④Between one's daily life and personal dreams, there is no way one can be so happy and stress-free all the time. There are always a million things going on. ⑤But when Susan asks Amy about this, Amy says, " I just take life as it comes. It seems pretty easy then. " ⑥__▲ How is it that Amy's life seems so much better most of the time? ⑦The problem with Susan is that she spreads herself too thin. Not physically (身体上), but in her own head. While she tries to do everything at once and think about everything at once, Amy takes everything one step at a time. She is where she is, stays present in the moment and allows herself to focus on(关注)just one thing at a time. ⑧When you live each moment to its fullest, when you deal with where you are and are present in the now, most of your stress will go away.(1)What might be the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "carefree"?A.粗心的 B.关心的 C.无忧虑的 D.仔细的(2)Which of the following can be put in the ________▲ ?A.So Susan is always less happy than her friend Amy.B.So what is the difference between these two friends?C.So what is the result of these two friends' experience?D.Let me give you some examples about these two friends.(3)If we put the passage into 3 parts, which of the following is the best?A.①④⑤/⑥⑦⑧ B.①②/③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧ C.①②③/④⑤⑥/⑦⑧ D.①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦⑧(4)The best title of the passage could be ________.A.Take life one step at a timeB.How to stay healthy under stressC.What we can learn from friendsD.Let's become an average person

短文理解_客观题 (1D=1001513567) A new study from Oregon State University found that dogs tend to match their behavior with the children in their family. The findings are important because there is a growing body of evidence that dogs can help children in many ways. These include helping with social development, increasing physical activity, managing anxiety, or serving as a source of attachment in the face of changing family structures. Yet very little research has focused on how dogs perceive and socially engage with children. The great news is that this study suggests dogs are paying a lot of attention to the kids that they live with, said Monique Udell, the lead author of the study."One interesting thing we have observed is that dogs are matching children's behavior, but less frequently than what we have seen between dogs and adults."This suggests that while dogs may view children as social companions, there are also some differences that we need to understand better. While research has found dogs can have a lot of positive impacts on a child's life, there are also risks associated with a dog-child relationship. For example, other studies have found dogs are more likely to bite children versus adults.“We still have a lot to learn about the dog-child relationship", Udell said, but research does show that kids are very capable of training dogs. 7. What does the passage say about the findings of the study from Oregon State University? D) A) Original. B) Surprising.C) Positive. Important 8. What does a growing body of evidence show according to the passage? A) Dogs can help kids in many ways. B) Kids'attitude to dogs is influenced by adults. C) Kids and adults alike find in dogs a source of attachment.

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.

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.
