Jeremy Locke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonald's home. Whenever he drove past the woman's home, he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on by another group of repairmen—but as the weeks wore on, the roof continued to worsen without any signs of repair. “ I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community, I’d be more than happy to,” Locke told CBC. When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free, however, she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity. That being said, she had already applied for a government grant （补助金） to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved. Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval. As the stubborn （固执的） Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help. He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle （抽奖活动）that his business was holding for a free roof. After the grandmother — of — four accepted one of the raffle tickets, Locke told her that she was the winner—because she was the only one who had entered the raffle. Thanks to his sweet little plan, Locke and his crew are starting work on the roof this week, which is expected to cost his company about $9, 000. MacDonald, meanwhile, told CBC that she doesn't know how to express her gratitude to Locke, saying that he is her “guardian angel”. "There's nobody out there like him," she added. 【1】What did Locke desire to do for MacDonald? A.Repair her roof. B.Find a repairman. C.Run a charity. D.Raise money. 【2】Why did MacDonald refuse Locke's offer initially? A.She didn't trust him. B.She had won a raffle. C.She didn't like free help. D.She had got an official grant. 【3】How did Locke finally make MacDonald change her mind? A.He persuaded her to give up her application. B.He invited her to enter his business. C.He gave her about $9, 000. D.He told her a white lie. 【4】Which of the following words best describe Locke? A.Stubborn and tricky. B.Wealthy and innocent. C.Determined and warm-hearted. D.Different and ambitious. |

I don’t remember the exact date I met Marty for the first time. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, I found my thoughts on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was receiving money from customers. He was an old man in his sixties. I thought, well, it probably took him a little longer to get the jobs done. For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and talk with them briefly. I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking. Usually, after a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly. This old cashier seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling. Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. When customers handed money to him, he pushed the appropriate keys, the cash drawer popped open, and he counted out their change. Then magic happened. He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. Now it was my turn. I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore. It read, “Marty.” Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand. His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake… 【1】While the author stood in the checkout line, she felt ______. A. impatient B. enthusiastic C. comfortable D. embarrassed 【2】In the opinion of the author, people tended to ______. A. talk about unimportant topics B. face communication problems C. remain calm while having a talk D. develop a mindless conversation 【3】The author thought Marty special because ______ . A. he expressed his sincerity while giving back the change B. he spent as much time as possible serving customers C. he was patient with all the questions from customers D. he showed particular interest in customers’ personal life 【4】What can we infer from the passage? A. Marty was a talkative man. B. Marty cared a lot about what he did. C. The author failed to get along well with others. D. The author was dissatisfied with such a waste of time. |

The coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒流行病)is a terrible crisis, of course. But it also presents an opportunity to change the way that research is conducted and shared. The way that researchers respond to COVED-19 right now can serve as a blueprint for that future. Scientists publishing data, ideas and information relating to the coronavirus pandemic on ResearchGate, a professional network that advocates open research, push against the old patterns of scientific culture. Researchers are far more likely to post early — stage research on the websites than we've traditionally seen in other industries. We're seeing people publish shorter, briefer content, and more figures. It's really exciting to see researchers upload more and more preprints(预印本).The urgency of this crisis encourages the global community of researchers to share more freely and work across industries, even as borders remain closed. The way that research is confirmed and shared hasn't changed much over the past decades, or perhaps the last century. We still rely on mysterious systems of peer review(同行评审)and the in- person conference is still a main means of knowledge exchange. The COVED-19 crisis is challenging both: one reason is that it is too slow (it can take six to nine months for a scientist's primary results to be peer-reviewed and appear in a journal), and the other, it is no longer safe. We need to try new ways to do things, in real time, and the ideas that work in this time of crisis will serve us well in the future. At ResearchgGate, we constantly work to improve scientific productivity to enable much-needed breakthroughs. This crisis encourages us to do our best to support researchers in becoming more efficient and more open. We need to connect with all the actors in science to further this change: funders, publishers, institutions and even nations need to come together and reimagine what science could be and how it could drive the development of better societies. The future of science is surely international, interdisciplinary (跨学科的)and open. Through the COVID-19. efforts from some organizations stand out as leading the way, in bringing national donors, charities and companies together to solve problems. There are also many examples of interdisciplinary and international cooperation that give us hope for advancing a new culture of science. ResearchGate's own COVLD-19 community page is designed to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation during the coronavirus pandemic. The tools that we develop through the COVID-19 crisis must equip us to work together across borders to face future crises. Our collective (共同的)actions in the face of climate change, for instance, have been inadequate so far. Let's use this crisis to learn how to make science better, and let's continue these efforts beyond the crisis, together. This moment is an opportunity to pave new paths that we'll follow tomorrow. 【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Scientists often publish unfinished reports B.Scientists have worked across borders during the crisis. C.Scientists share their research results more freely now D.Current research cannot meet the needs of dealing with the crisis 【2】What does the author think of the peer review system? A.It can consume a large amount of time B.It is a rare way of knowledge exchange C.It will play an important role in the future D.It is helpful in protecting significant research results 【3】What do the researchers expect of the future of science? A.Scientists will make great progress in medicine. B.Scientific reports will be produced more quickly C.It will value interdisciplinary and international cooperation D.Large institutions will lead the way in scientific breakthrough 【4】What may be the best title for the text? A.How does science affect our life? B.How is COVID-19 changing science C.The role of science in conquering the COVID-19 crisis D.The tools that we develop through the COVID-19 crisis |

The Truth about the Joneses You know the Joneses. Or maybe for you it's the Smiths, or the Millers. 【1】 They have nicer cars, fancier clothes and even cuter dogs. But the Joneses may not be who you think they are. 【2】 Or they may just work really hard to build wealth. We'll say that again: The Joneses are either drowning in payments or deserving of their wealth. So be happy for them or feel sorry for them. But don't try to keep up with them! 【3】 And you've had enough of all the bad feelings of your own life. You're ready to be happy where you are and to work for what you want. You're ready for contentment. Contentment is a choice. It's having an attitude of joy when everyone else is attempting to buy happiness. So who cares if Mrs. Jones drives a luxury SUV with heated seats and keyless entry? Good for her. Your 10-year-old car gets you everywhere her sweet ride gets her. 【4】 It is something that's not visible to the Joneses of the world. They can't see the steady chunks of money you put in your emergency fund. Or the $15, 000 of debt you paid off. Or the retirement(退休)contributions you're about to increase. But you know the significance of your actions. 【5】 You know your energy is better used for your own savings goals. A.That only leads to dissatisfaction. B.You may just want another reliable car. C.They may be up to their eyeballs in debt. D.At this point, you may still feel worried about looking good. E.They're the people who have everything bigger and better than you do. F.You've wasted enough energy keeping up with people you don't really care. G.Right now you're doing whatever it takes to build a solid foundation for your family. |

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。 "Got your cell phone? Glasses? Wallet? ID?" I asked. "Yes," my husband Avraham smiled. "Can we go now? You've got to meet with your interviewer before I go to see my patient at one o'clock." "Right. Got your medical bag?" "Yes," Even years after moving from North America, we still loved the half-hour drive to Jerusalem(耶路撒冷).The blue sky above the mountains, the trees, and the journey up to the Holy City always filled us with gratitude for living in Israel. As we sped along, we came to our favorite part of the journey, where a wonderful view of Jerusalem suddenly appeared above the roadway. We had a good time and arrived at my meeting with time to spare. After my interview, I met Avraham at our favorite cafe. Avraham ordered his daily iced coffee and a bag of fresh bread. Glancing at the clock, I suggested we go to see his patient. Avraham had to visit an elderly woman in Jerusalem because her daughter had called the day before to arrange the appointment. As there were very few foot specialists in Israel, Avraham would travel all over the country to see patients requiring specialized foot care. He searched his pockets for a note on which he had written the address. But the note was nowhere to be found. "I don't believe it！ I must have left the address at home." "Do you remember any part of the address?" I asked. "I remember that there was a number 17 in it, because it was part of my birth date." "Do you know the street name?" "No. Just that it's in this neighborhood." I had heard the family name mentioned the day before and remembered it sounded like a European name. "Let's try looking at buildings and see if the mailboxes can give us some help," I offered. 注意: 1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: We scanned the listings for the number 17 and two more nearby buildings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: We quickly went upstairs and knocked on a door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
