【题目】How to Avoid the Worst Cold-Weather Packing Mistakes

Yes, you can definitely blame winter clothes for your overstuffed(塞得过满的)suitcase. After all, warm clothing takes up a lot more room than summer T-shirts and shorts. To make matters worse, you’ve got to pack for overheated restaurants and freezing outdoor conditions. 1 . Here are some winter-packing mistakes we learned the hard way, and tips you need.

2

Your shoes face a big challenge in the winter. They need to be: insulated, waterproof, and warm; provide great traction in case of ice; be able to withstand salt; and be comfortable to walk in. So, your sneakers aren't going to cut it. Just remember to wear your heavier snow boots on the plane; otherwise, they'll take up half your suitcase space.

Packing the wrong materials

3, It absorbs moisture and sweat, which will make you cold and keep you freezing. You can replace cotton with wool, as wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable.

Leaving behind sunglasses

Since you're not headed to the beach, you might forget to pack your sunglasses. The sun can shine brightly on freezing days too tough, so be able to pack yours. 4.

Not bringing medicine

Cold and flu cases rise during the winter, and while you definitely don't plan on getting sick while traveling, you should be prepared in case it does happen. Make sure you've packed medication for upset stomach, fever relief, body aches, and congestion, 5. Just get travel-sized versions of you go-to drugs.

A. But we're here to help

B. Choosing the right shoes

C. Wearing the wrong shoes

D. Cotton is a terrible choice for the winter

E. Better be a pair which is easy to pack and hard to break

F. You don't have to travel with the whole medicine chest though

G. Also throw some sunscreen in there as you can get sunburned in winter

【答案】

1A

2C

3D

4E

5F

【解析】

本文是说明文。介绍了在冬季外出时,行李打包过程中的一些错误做法和建议。

1上句提到冬季外出衣服打包遭遇的问题,下文提到在冬季打包过程中总结出的一些错误做法和建议。A. But we're here to help(但我们可以帮助你)承上启下,故选A

2本段主要介绍鞋打包的错误做法和建议,根据Just remember to wear your heavier snow boots on the plane; otherwise, they'll take up half your suitcase space.可知要把厚重的鞋穿上而不是打包,所以C. Wearing the wrong shoes(穿错鞋)与本段内容相符,是鞋打包的错误做法。故选C

3本段介绍的是材料打包错误,根据It absorbs moisture and sweat, which will make you cold and keep you freezing. You can replace cotton with wool,可知棉花材料的缺点吸水份吸汗,不保暖。建议我们用羊毛代替棉制品。D. Cotton is a terrible choice for the winter(棉花是冬天糟糕的选择)符合本段内容,与下句衔接,故选D

4本段提到的错误做法是把太阳镜留在家里,根据The sun can shine brightly on freezing days too tough, so be able to pack yours.可知建议带上太阳镜,E. Better be a pair which is easy to pack and hard to break(最好是打包一副容易打包且不易碎的眼镜)是对打包的太阳镜的具体建议,故选E

5本段提到的错误做法是不带药,下文是需要带药的原因和具体做法。根据空后Just get travel-sized versions of you go-to drugs.可知去药店买一个旅行便携装就行,F. (你不必带着整个药箱旅行)与下句衔接,故选F

【题目】 Almost everyone has heard the expression “the calm before the storm”. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.

British sailors created the phrase in the late 1600s. They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static and the winds would drop. But why is it often so calm before a storm?

Science has given us the answer. According to US website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms, such as hurricanes and tornadoes (龙卷风), draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”.

Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes “the eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong winds moving in a circle.

The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First, count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Roughly 3 seconds equal 1 kilometer. So, for example, if you count 9 seconds, the storm is about 3 kilometers away. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.

However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms break after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and cold winds.

So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature’s temper.

1The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

A.violent

B.warm

C.still

D.changeable

2What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To find out how a storm comes into being.

B.To explain why a peaceful period occurs before a storm.

C.To prove whether the research on storm clouds is correct.

D.To show how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.

3If there’re 15 seconds between a flash of lightning and a thunder clap, how far is the storm away?

A.About 3 kilometers.

B.About 5 kilometers.

C.About 9 kilometers.

D.About 15 kilometers.

4What can be learned from the passage?

A.Storms don’t always blow up after calm.

B.Storms have a bad influence on our life.

C.Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.

D.Heavy storms don’t usually last a long time.

【题目】As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.

Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”

The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”

1The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.

A.show the relationship between parents and children

B.teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table

C.report on the findings of a study

D.give information about family problems

2Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _________.

A.they are busy serving food to their children

B.they are busy keeping order at the dinner table

C.they have to pay more attention to younger children

D.they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family

3By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.

A.have to help their parents to serve dinner

B.get the least attention from the family

C.are often kept away from the dinner table

D.find it hard to keep up with other children

4Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?

A.It is important to have the right food for children.

B.It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.

C.Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.

D.Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.

【题目】 With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.

Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customers to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all timesif someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.

However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.

1Which of the following descriptions about Scout is right?

A.They can be powered themselves.B.They are strong enough to carry big things.

C.They can run with their six wheels.D.They can avoid obstacles ahead.

2What about Scout is still confusing to common people?

A.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.B.Whether it can climb stairs or open gates.

C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things.D.How long it will take to get it fully charged.

3What does the underlined phrase “prior to” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.due toB.afterC.in front ofD.before

4What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?

A.They are not easily available.B.They have some limitations.

C.They will replace humans soon.D.They won’t be well accepted.

【题目】 Sometimes it can be difficult to relate to the generations that have come before us. 1

But older people have plenty of wisdom and knowledge to share with younger generations, and treating them with respect should be second nature for all of us.

Call people sir or ma’am. Even if you have grown up in a more casual environment where you usually call your friends’ parents by their first names, you shouldn’t assume that all older people are comfortable with that kind of informal life. 2 They prefer you call them Mr/Mrs. That’s why it’s always best to ask what name they prefer and use sir or ma’am when you don’t feel comfortable asking.

3 While it’s true that many elderly people have health problems that may require special assistance, aging doesn’t affect all people in the same way. Assuming that an older person has poor eyesight or hearing can be extremely embarrassing and make him or her feel self-conscious. That’s especially true if you make a big deal out of it, such as raising your voice every time you speak to him or her. If you’re unsure whether an older person has such problems, just ask. 4.

Show interest in their lives. It’s easy to think that older people don’t have much going on because they don’t do many of the things that they used to when they are younger.5 When you visit or call your elderly loved ones, make sure to ask about their favorite activities. If they have a hobby that they particularly enjoy, you might even offer to do it with them. That’s a great way to show them just how interested you are in what’s important to them.

A.Do offer them necessary help.

B.Don’t assume they have disabilities.

C.However, many elderly people are still active.

D.Some elderly people may be more traditional.

E.We ourselves will be old some day in the future.

F.It’s better to be straightforward than to risk annoying someone.

G.Growing up differently makes us feel we have nothing in common with them.
