Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name. As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office. “Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes. “Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?” “Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!” Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller. Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!” 【1】What was Albert in the oil company at the beginning? A. A customer. B. A worker. C. A manager. D. An assistant. 【2】Why wasn’t Albert angry at his nickname? A. He could become famous. B. He liked to have a nickname. C. It could make his workmates happy. D. It could advertise for his company for free. 【3】What is the main idea of this passage? A. It’s very important to do small things well. B. Rockefeller asked young people to work harder. C. You can’t get angry when someone calls your nickname. D. You should make more advertisements for your company. 【4】What would be the best title for this passage? A.

There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Did you know that unintentional injury(意外伤害) is the leading cause of death in children under 14 years old with a third of them happening in the home? One of the top reasons a child under the age of three will visit an emergency room is because of household injuries and sadly, 70% of children who die from unintentional injuries are under the age of four. Every room in the home will have its own set of child safety problems. Two of the main danger zones are the kitchen and the bathroom. Before I became a young mother, I crawled (爬)around the house on my hands and knees to see things from a child’s perspective(视角). You would be amazed at what you can discover by doing something so simple. We didn’t have toilet covers. A child is top heavy because their heads are bigger than their bodies and can easily fall into the toilet. You might be surprised with the number of children falling out of windows every year, especially during the summer months. Something as simple as a child leaning against a window screen can result in a serious injury. The best way to prevent this type of injury is by setting up a child safety window guard. As parents, we do the best we can by providing as much protection as possible to make sure of the safety of children. And as there are so many products out there to help us do this, there is nothing like good old-fashioned supervision(监护). So, use common sense and products that help to keep your child safe, and you will have provided a safe environment for your children. 【1】What’s the main reason for death in children under 14 according to paragraph one? A.Age problems. B.No sense of safety. C.Danger areas. D.Unexpected injuries. 【2】Why did the writer crawl around the house on the hands and knees? A.To cover the toilet. B.To protect her child. C.To look for something. D.To discover dangers from a child’s point. 【3】What should we do to protect children from falling out of windows? A.Keep away from a window. B.Place a safety window guard. C.Move away the window screen. D.Lean against the window firmly. 【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A.Tips on keeping children safe. B.Products for children. C.Growth speed of children. D.Ways to look after children. |

Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated home assistant powered by artificial intelligence(AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon Echo device. And it made Brooke's wishes come true. After being reported on' TV, Alexa devices in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses! Alexa isn't the only Al willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don't often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom in voice shopping in the near future. Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you're cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without assistance. But voice shopping has its downsides. Unwanted things aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for "Alexa" or "OK Google" or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? What if someone hacks the device? What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time? 【1】What is Alexa? A.A TV reporter. B.A friend of Brooke. C.A voice-activated device. D.A cookie maker. 【2】What can you learn from paragraph 2? A.Alexa is the best Al device B.People buy various things through voice shopping. C.People use Bixby mainly for listening to music. D.Voice shopping may have a bright future. 【3】What attitude does the author have towards Alexa devices? A.Optimistic B.Doubtful C.Objective. D.Negative. 【4】What does the underlined word "hacks" in the last paragraph mean? A.Repairs. B.Attacks C.Hides. D.Sells. |

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。 As old-fashioned as it may seem, there's something so magical and special about getting a personalized letter or package in the mail. This is especially true when you're not even expecting anything! In Los Angeles. UPS （United Parcel Service） driver Hectolar Vesco noticed that while he did his normal route there was one kid, Langston Walbuck, who looked sad because he never got a delivery. Going above and beyond his job duties, Hector decided to put together a package and deliver it to Langston himself. A father of two himself, he knew that he would have to check in with Langston's parents before proceeding. Using a blank UPS slip, Hector wrote out a note reading, "Hi, this is Hector, your UPS driver. I've seen your son plenty of times on the balcony and he seems very sad that he doesn't get any packages. When he asked me if I had any package for him, I told him, "Don't worry. Maybe next time. So, anyway, I've bought something and put it in a box. Just wanted to know his name." Hector also shared his number so that the parents could contact him directly. After getting all the information he needed from Langston's mom, Brooke, Hector showed up the next day and surprised a very excited Langston with the delivery. Brooke even managed to capture the moment on video! Hand-delivered by Hector, the package was addressed to Langston and he kindly wrote, "Have a nice day!" on the outside of the package, along with a smiley face. In the video Brooke posted, you can hear Langston's cry of excitement and Hector laughing happily in reply. Of course, the gesture of delivering the parcel was nice enough as it is, but it turns out what was inside made it even better! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Langston opened up the box, what he found made him extremely surprised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the delivery was made, Langston's mother, Brooke, wanted to do something for, this stranger's kindness. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
