On a drive to my appointment on Halloween, I thought about how life should be going. I was 30, a mother of three daughters — twin five-year-olds and a one-year-old. I should be playing in the park with them or visiting the library. But once again, I needed this appointment. It had been a year since I’d been diagnosed with cancer. My surgery was over, so it’s just a routine blood test. As always, there was a fear that the cancer had returned. But today, it was more than that. I felt alone, tired, and sad. My family and friends were busy with their lives, and I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness. I just wanted to see the positive things in life and be truly grateful — without reservations. When we finally arrived, we sat in a crowded waiting room. It was pretty uneventful (平淡的) until my youngest daughter, dressed up like an angel, walked up to a complete stranger and said, “Tweet.” This was what she said, “Trick or Treat,” coached previously by her twin sisters. The old woman , who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver, knew exactly what my daughter meant. She ordered her helper to take her over to the vending machine. She put in enough money to give each of my girls a treat. This caring act started a run on the vending machine. Soon, everyone had a candy bar or bag of chips ready for impromptu trick or treat, which was beyond their expectation. Everyone was smiling and laughing, and my daughters were extremely happy with their good fortune. Here were these people, facing who-knows-what health difficulties, and they only thought of giving three little girls some Halloween fun. It was a lesson for me about how good, kind and generous people are. The gratitude I felt was overwhelming (压倒性的),and the thankfulness didn't fade away. 【1】Where might the story take place according to the text? A.In the library. B.In the park. C.In a hospital. D.At a store. 【2】How did the author feel about that day’s appointment on her way to her destination? A.She felt excited. B.She was optimistic. C.She feared the worst. D.She had mixed feelings. 【3】What does the underlined word “impromptu” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Unprepared. B.Initial. C.Eventful. D.Splendid. 【4】What might be the best title for the text? A.An Exciting Appointment B.A Special Trick or Treat C.A Routine Blood Test D.One Special Friend |

People who are good at growing plants know that it's possible to plant what seems to be a lifeless stick and produce a tree or other kinds of plants. The stick is really what is called a hardwood cutting. From these cuttings, trees, vines(藤蔓) except pine trees can grow. They are called hardwood because the pieces are woody rather than leafy. Gardeners can expect close to 100 percent success with plants such as grape, gooseberry, privet, spiraea and honeysuckle. However, this method does not work with apple, maple or oak trees, for example. Because they lack leaves, hardwood cuttings are less perishable(易腐烂的) than softwood cuttings. If you want to develop a green thumb-or get really good at growing plants-start your effort with hardwood cuttings of willow. Willow trees often spread from branches that take root on top of the ground through the winter. Most other plants demand a little more attention. Autumn is a good time to start hardwood cuttings. First, choose some shoots(新枝) that grew during the most recent growing season-the youngest shoots. Cut the shoots to a length of about 15 centimeters. Make sure you remember which end was up - the end that is farther from the root. Experts do this by cutting the bottoms off directly and the tops at an angle so they avoid mistakes during planting. Then, place the bottom of each cutting into some well-drained(排水良好的) soil. If you have to plant in the spring, the cuttings need to be kept cool and wet through the winter. The traditional method is to place the cuttings together and bury them upside down in the soil. This lets the bottoms of the cuttings be first to feel the warming effects of spring sun on the ground. Put the cuttings in a closed plastic bag, put a wet paper towel around the bag, and then put the whole thing in another plastic bag. 【1】What can we learn about woody plants according to the text? A.Gardeners can get 100% success with them. B.The cuttings from them dry out before roots form. C.All won’t grow from hardwood cuttings. D.They’re far less reliable than leafy plants. 【2】Which of the following fits the method of hardwood cuttings properly? A.Apple trees. B.Oak trees. C.Pine trees. D.Willow trees. 【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A.How to make cuttings. B.When to make cuttings. C.Where to put cuttings. D.What to mind at choosing. 【4】What does the author stress about cuttings in the last paragraph? A.The choice. B.The storage. C.The temperature. D.The seasons. |

With the summer heat becoming increasingly unbearable over the years due to climate change, the cooling load in the summertime has also been on the rise. Insulation (隔热)is currently the main solution for blocking heat from entering a building, but by applying an additional material that can delay heat penetration(渗透),it can prevent the indoor temperature from rising and in turn lower the cooling load of the building. A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside. The team directed by Dr. Sarng Woo Karng from KIST revealed that they have successfully done it through building walls by applying a phase change material (PCM). One of the most common types is paraffin oil, which is used to make candles. A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transitions into liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without causing any leakage (渗漏)，it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside. The problem, however, is that the PCM turns into liquid starting from the outermost layer, and the parts that are hot move upward, while the parts that are still relatively cool move downward. Thus, while the upper part may have completely melted, the lower part will have not, and as a result, heat will penetrate into the building through the area where the PCM is in liquid phase. In the end, the PCM becomes ineffective in controlling the indoor temperature and is rendered useless. Dr. Karng's team addressed the non-uniform phase change with bubble injections. By injecting bubbles into the bottom part of the PCM enabled uniform circulation (流动)of the PCM in liquid phase. Dr. Karng said, “We expect that the insulating wall using the PCM bubble generator used in this study will contribute to reducing the amount of energy used to heat or cool a building. Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration, in combination with the building insulating material, and it can also be used as the outer walls of zero-energy buildings. 【1】What kind of function do PC Ms serve according to the text? A.Lowering heat penetration. B.Making the walls stronger. C.Being used to make candles. D.Perfecting the building walls. 【2】Why is a case used when the PCM is in liquid phase? A.To test its effect. B.To avoid the risks. C.To block the heat. D.To stay in shape. 【3】What is the problem when PCMs turn into liquid phase from the solid one? A.They'll cause heat leakage. B.They'll lower heat penetration. C.They don't melt evenly. D.They're hard to operate. 【4】What can we infer about insulation techniques using PCMs? A.They are imperfect. B.They are ineffective. C.They are low-cost. D.They are environmentally-friendly. |

Delivering presentations is an everyday art form that anyone can master. To capture your audience's attention, present your information with ease and confidence. Act as if you are in a conversation with your audience, and they will pay attention to you. 【1】 Give it the "bar" test. The "bar" test ensures that your idea is clear and your storytelling is effective. Before you write your presentation, make notes sketching out your message. Think of it as a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Then ask a colleague or friend who knows nothing about your project to listen to your summary. 【2】 Prepare for nerves. It's important to rehearse in front of people because it will make you less nervous when the time comes. If you tend to get nervous when you give presentations, you can go further during your rehearsals in order to reduce your nerves. 【3】 For instance, if your fear is "I'll forget what I'm saying"，you can prepare a plan like, "If I forget what I'm saying, I'll pause, scan my notes, and find the next important point I need to make." 【4】 Smile, raise your eyebrows, and otherwise tell your story through feelings as well as facts. Show your audience your own passion for the topic. Say everything as if you find it interesting and expect them to be interested by it as well. Your enthusiasm will be infectious. Find ways to make your presentation interactive. 【5】 Ask someone to tell a joke to get you warmed up, or quiz audience members about their experience with something related to your topic. If it's a large group, ask questions that each audience member can answer with a show of hands. A.Show your emotion. B.Mind your body language. C.It's good to think about what you'll do in each situation. D.If they can summarize your message accurately, that's a good sign. E.To get this level of fluency, you'd better practice, practice and practice. F.If you are working with a small crowd, you can talk directly to members of the audience. G.It may help to start your presentation with a question or a dilemma so they feel involved from the start. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 At Lowe's, the home improvement chain, a "LoweBot” in some stores can answer simple questions, such as where 【1】 (find) items, and can assist with inventory(库存)monitoring. These robots free up workers from routine tasks, thus 【2】(give) humans more time for customer interaction-but that's only the beginning. The real benefit of retail robots is the opportunity to capture the exact data about the products on the 【3】(shelf) and customer buying patterns, which can increase efficiency and accuracy in inventory management. The key is using retail robots as data - collectors within 【4】Internet-of-Things (loT) , which is best thought of 【5】 a complex network of connected devices, objects, and sensors gathering data that 【6】(analyze) in the cloud or with edge computing. With robots in stores, retailers already have the beginnings of a whole IoT 【7】(solve). As the robots move around the stores, they take photos of every shelf and aisle (过道)，which are then digitized and converted into metrics and insights about out - of - stock merchandise and pricing. Such detailed data is 【8】(incredible) valuable in retail,【9】 understanding and anticipating consumer demand is necessary. For example, Stitch Fix, which provides just - for - you clothing choices to shoppers at home, regards 【10】 (it) as its business model, from product recommendation to inventory management and fashion design. |
