[2020·惠州市高三第一次调研] When I was a boy, our extended, immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt's tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other's lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.
Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. Finally my face fell first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said，“I'm it! You'd better run！” I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.
Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and made my joy return. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.
In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.
4．When the adults were chatting, the kids would ________.
A．play video games B．sit in the front yard
C．learn to cook dinner D．play traditional games
5．The author was able to catch Susan because ________.
A．the others ran too fast B．the author was good at running
C．Susan gave her a chance D．Susan wanted to chase others
6．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.
B．The author can't meet Susan any more.
C．The author urges others to love their family.
D．The author believes the world will become a big family.
7．What could be the best title of the passage?
A．A memory of my childhood B．Sharing of goodness unites us
C．Kindness brightens our life D．A good deed is invaluable

[2020·河南省高考适应性测试] Every year between May and September, all 54 employees of Basecamp, a Chicagobased web application company, have a short work week：just four days－a total of 32 hours. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.
“That's plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people，” says Jason Fried，a cofounder. “Working 50，60， or 70plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 50， 60， or 70plus hours a week, there's a management problem.”
The company's summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr.Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week－to recover from work, enjoy time with family and pursue(追求) outside interests－would be undone.
His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees' physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度) of work. Moreover, it suggests that intense work harms career prospects. That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.
The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”．
The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.
8．What do we know about Basecamp's fourday work week?
A．It lasts nearly half a year.
B．The work pressure is too high.
C．There are some management problems.
D．Employees work more than 8 hours a day.
9．What does Mr.Fried intend to say in Paragraph 2?
A．Given plenty of time, people can do more.
B．To get work done well needs plenty of time.
C．People can do a job very well in a short work week.
D．A long work week is appropriate for reduced workload.
10．What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us?
A．Getting much more rest. B．Improving work quality.
C．Refusing a fiveday work week. D．Avoiding working too intensely.
11．What can be the best title for this passage?
A．More Work, More Profits B．Less Work, Less Benefits
C．Shorter Week, Better Reward D．Longer Hours, Higher Intensity

[2020·济南高三模拟] We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours－about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr.Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn't harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳)：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn't the cause. Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.
12．What do we know about blue light?
A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B．It has the shortest wavelength.
C．It may come from electronic devices.
D．It consumes a great deal of energy.
13．What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?
A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B．Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C．Widespread use of smart devices.
D．Scientific understanding of blue light.
14．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
15．According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be ____.
A．tiring B．harmful C．useless D．beneficial

Public Speaking
[2020·南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题] Public speaking can be defined as the act of making a speech in front of a group of listeners.
The types of public speaking are deliberately structured with three general purposes：to inform, to persuade and to entertain the audience. An informative speech has a purpose to inform, or give knowledge to its audience. __16__ For persuasive speech, the speaker would try to change the mindset, perception, or behavior of the audience for their own good. Thus, the speaker needs to look for common ground with the audience and try to relate to what they might agree on. The last type is a ceremonial speech. It tends to be less formal and more personal than the other types of speeches. No matter how well you know the person you are giving speech to, try not to say bad things about them, even if it is meant to be a joke.
__17__ Sparing some time to practice will help build confidence and help determine how long the presentation will last. Aside from it, knowing who the audience will be is quite necessary. Try to get as much information as possible regarding this particular area related to the audience. Knowing the “battlefield” in advance will give the speakers a huge advantage.
Language is the main aspect a speaker needs to pay attention to while giving a speech. __18__ A speaker needs to choose their words carefully and make it clear to the audience what they mean. Often, when given a speech, the audience look to the speaker to give them something new and useful. __19__ Language and delivery(演讲方式) alone will not be sufficient if the speaker does not have the body language. The movement and gesture of a speaker also affect the audience. While closing the speech or presentation, speakers can restate their main points, just to remind the audience of the important things that have been said. __20__
A．It needs to be used clearly.
B．These speeches mark special occasions.
C．The important thing to watch about is not to put in too much information.
D．The key of perfecting anything is through practice, including public speaking.
E．They can also end it with a special message and encourage the audience to ask questions.
F．Knowing how public speaking is done is a key part in understanding the importance of it.
G．Thus, the speaker needs to know how to deliver their speech to fulfill the audience's expectation.
