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 others 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 couldnt 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，“Im it! Youd 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 didnt 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.4When the adults were chatting, the kids would _.Aplay video games Bsit in the front yardClearn to cook dinner Dplay traditional games5The author was able to catch Susan because _.Athe others ran too fast Bthe author was good at runningCSusan gave her a chance DSusan wanted to chase others6What can be inferred from the passage?AThe author is grateful for what Susan did to her.BThe author cant meet Susan any more.CThe author urges others to love their family.DThe author believes the world will become a big family.7What could be the best title of the passage?AA memory of my childhood BSharing of goodness unites usCKindness brightens our life DA good deed is invaluableC2020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 daysa total of 32 hours. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.“Thats 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, theres a management problem.”The companys summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr.Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter weekto recover from work, enjoy time with family and pursue(追求) outside interestswould 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.8What do we know about Basecamps fourday work week?AIt lasts nearly half a year.BThe work pressure is too high.CThere are some management problems.DEmployees work more than 8 hours a day.9What does Mr.Fried intend to say in Paragraph 2?AGiven plenty of time, people can do more.BTo get work done well needs plenty of time.CPeople can do a job very well in a short work week.DA long work week is appropriate for reduced workload.10What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us?AGetting much more rest. BImproving work quality.CRefusing a fiveday work week. DAvoiding working too intensely.11What can be the best title for this passage?AMore Work, More Profits BLess Work, Less BenefitsCShorter Week, Better Reward DLonger Hours, Higher IntensityD2020济南高三模拟 We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hoursabout 10 hours and 39 minutes a dayat 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 its true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, theres 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 theres 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 isnt harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when were 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, isnt 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.12What do we know about blue light?AIt is a kind of nuclear radiation. BIt has the shortest wavelength. CIt may come from electronic devices. DIt consumes a great deal of energy.13What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?AEvidence of their benefits to eyes.BBelief in blue lights harmful effect.CWidespread use of smart devices.DScientific understanding of blue light.14What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?ABlue light exposure is hardly avoidable.BEye problems are not easy to deal with.CBlue light may connect with tired eyes.DRubbing eyes makes people strained.15According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be _.Atiring Bharmful Cuseless Dbeneficial第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Public Speaking2020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_AIt needs to be used clearly.BThese speeches mark special occasions.CThe important thing to watch about is not to put in too much information.DThe key of perfecting anything is through practice, including public speaking.EThey can also end it with a special message and encourage the audience to ask questions. FKnowing how public speaking is done is a key part in understanding the importance of it. GThus, the speaker needs to know how to deliver their speech to fulfill the audiences expectation.第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Everybody seemed to pay more attention to my little sister Lisa.
