21、Summer Rain

The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.

As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather.

On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. I’d drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.

As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful — and considerably cooler — weather tomorrow.

【1】When the author was a child, he ______.

A. preferred cooler weather

B. hated rainy days

C. liked staying indoors

D. dreamed on summer days

【2】We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

A. was often left alone at home

B. preferred reading to playing outside

C. had no brothers or sisters

D. could enjoy the brilliant sun in winter

【3】As an adult, the author views summer rain differently because ______.

A. he knows it won’t last long

B. his summer holiday is very short

C. he can better deal with his holiday

D. rain makes the weather cooler

22、The future of work

If you can get it, Robots may well take your job — eventually Pioneers are not always welcome. In 1589 William Lee made his way to the English queen, hoping to be granted a patent for his invention, a knitting (编织) machine. Queen Elizabeth I turned him down: “Consider what the invention could do to my poor people,” she commanded. “It would surely bring to them ruin by taking away their employment.”

The fears of Queen have echoed down the centuries. In the 21st century the concerns have switched to robots and artificial intelligence (AD); 30% of American workers believe their jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and computers in their lifetime.

Daniel Susskind has written about this issue before in “The Future of the Professions”, co-authored with his father, Richard. That book focused on the threat by machine-learning to doctors, lawyers and the like.

In the past the relationship between machine and human labour has been driven by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the complementing (补足) effect, which allowed employees to do their work more productively. The author worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will rule. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities, he says. A few highly paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will either struggle to find work or fall into the “precariat”, stuck in jobs that are not just poorly paid but unstable and stressful.

Perhaps. It is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects. Books like his are a useful summary of the current debate on an important subject. But they are not crystal balls.

【1】William Lee’s request was turned down for fear that_________.

A.British people couldn’t afford the knitting machine

B.British workers were at the risk of losing their jobs

C.the knitting machine might be ruined by violent workers

D.William Lee would make a huge profit from the patent

【2】The fears of Queen in Paragraph 2 refer to the fear that____________.

A.fears can be echoed down for centuries

B.workers are too stressful with the help of machines

C.machines and automation threaten people’s employment

D.doctors, lawyers and the like are likely to be replaced

【3】Daniel Susskind worries that___________.

A.most jobs will be at risk because of substituting effect

B.employees will work less productively because of complementing effect

C.30% of American workers will do jobs related to AI

D.large numbers of jobs will be lost because of complementing effect

【4】The writer’s attitude to AI advances is .

A.indifferent B.positive

C.negative D.uncertain

23、   It should be one of the main goals in today's society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it's actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.

Now Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging. One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai's team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just popped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them online, he said.

With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (实施).

Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time, but it's not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.

It's now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.

【1】What can we infer about recycling from Para. 1?

A．The author thinks highly of recycling.

B．The US did a great job in recycling in 2013.

C．Recycling has failed to solve the plastic problem.

D．Recycling helps a lot in reducing plastic consumption.

【2】Why did the man go to Rimping Supermarket?

A．To purchase some items.

B．To look for new ideas there.

C．To take photos of their shelves.

D．To sign a contract with a lawyer.

【3】Which might be one of the influential factors in encouraging leaf packaging?

A．The Internet.

B．The companies’ interest.

C．The contract.

D．The plastic-free shelves.

【4】According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．people tend to prefer farm produce wrapped in plastic

B．promoting leaf packaging requires people’s joint effort

C．China used to export part of its waste to other Countries

D．it's easy for supermarkets to change the way of packaging

24、For most people, one of the hardest things to deal with is when someone they love is in emotional pain and they simply don’t know how to help. Actually, it can be a challenge to figure out what to say to your loved ones as they struggle with an emotional blow. But don’t worry too much. 【1】 You can try the following tips.

Focus on the person’s feelings. Don’t mention the time that you went through a similar experience and pulled through it. It won’t help most people. Instead, let them know that you are sad that they are sad. 【2】 Even if your friend just lost their grandma and you lost your grandma several years ago, everything can be different.

【3】 Make a compassionate(有同情心的) statement and then just sit quietly. Let your loved one talk if they want to. Or you can just give them a hug and let them relax, knowing you are there for them. Instead of offering statements that you think are comforting, stay silent and let them start a conversation if they want one.

Don’t add your opinion. Part of learning how to comfort someone is not to give advice. Even if you think you have the perfect solution to the problem, don’t offer it. Every single person is different. Your loved one has different weaknesses and strengths than you or another friend that has gone through the same thing. 【4】

Provide practical help. If you are concerned about how to comfort someone, you can just find some daily stuff to help your loved one. 【5】 Don’t be afraid to consistently offer the same type of help, such as bringing dinner the same night of every week.

A．Don’t focus on you.

B．Just listen and don’t talk.

C．Remember that no two experiences are the same.

D．They want to talk about what’s happening in the present.

E．Therefore, don’t offer advice unless your loved one asks.

F．This is a great way to show your friend that they can count on you.

G．Simply listening and focusing on your loved one can make a big difference.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。

If you ask me whether you should say yes to walk your neighbor’s dog, my answer would be a definite “Yes”, as long you do one thing I didn’t do when I helped out with my neighbor’s dog. Here’s what I meant. You don’t need to ask your neighbor lots of questions about that particular dog, but just be patient to ask one very important question. Here is why.

Mrs. Gonzales and her adorable dog Rascal, live at the end of my street. My friend Ollie and I have played with Rascal since he was a puppy, so when Mrs. Gonzales asked if we’d like to take him to the park once in a while, we can’t wait to says, “When can we start?” “How about this Saturday at 3: 00?”she suggested.

When Saturday rolled around, Ollie and I were there to pick up Rascal at 3: 00 on time. “Rascal will be so happy to play in the park with you!” Mrs. Gonzales said. “If I’m still out grocery shopping when you return, just let yourselves in with this spare key. I’ll be home a little while later.”

“Also, why do you think I named him Rascal? If there’s trouble, such as puddles, this guy is guaranteed to find it. And also the commands that you should ” When we realized that Mrs. Gonzales had lots of “alsos”, we interrupted her and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Not long after we arrived at the park, Rascal found a giant puddle and jumped into it and rolled around until every square inch of his furry body was dripping with mud. “Ugh! silly puppy, you’re the muddiest dog in the universes!” I said. Ollie said we should take  him back home so he can get washed up.

But when we got to Mrs. Gonzales’s house, she didn’t answer the doorbell. “ She must still be out grocery shopping,” I said. “How about we use the garden tube to clean him? ” Ollie suggested. “ Good idea!” I said, putting Mrs. Gonzales’s key into the lock. “I’ll go inside and get a towel to dry him off.”

Paragraph 1:

But the second I opened the door, Rascal raced inside the house.

Mrs. Gonzales came in with her groceries.
