I’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs...”‎ Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party — you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.‎ ‎“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”‎ Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway — much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money out of it?‎ ‎“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”‎ And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?‎ ‎“Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people.”‎ ‎2. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Dinner parties. B. Fresh ingredients.‎ C. Supper clubs. D. Invitations to dinner.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。之前在饭店吃过很多令人失望并且昂贵的饭菜的Cassie在朋友的建议下开了一家超级俱乐部，这里晩上招待客人，白天又可以重新变成自己的家，自己能给客人提供便宜可口的饭菜，Cassie感到很满足。 ‎ ‎7. C【黑龙江省双鸭山市第一中学2019届高三上学期第一次月考】‎ No messy coins—and more importantly—no embarrassment. This is how young Chinese “go Dutch” these days—scan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click.‎ It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat. “It has made going Dutch less embarrassing and so much more fun,” said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. “Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so.” Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.‎ Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. It's being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear “losing face,” it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.‎ Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibaba’s Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function.‎ The smart phone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine, enjoys a manicure (美甲) once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. “It's just really convenient,” she said. “I wouldn’t have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps.” Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. “You can make do without a wallet but can't live without your smart phone when you go out these days,” Zhao said.‎ ‎8. What does the underlined phrases “go Dutch” in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A. pay a visit to Dutch. B. become a person like the Dutch.‎ C. share expenses equally. D. visit a website called Dutch.‎ ‎8. B【山西大学附属中学2019届高三9月模块诊断】‎ A 60-year-old homeless woman named Smokie has sleeping outside in dirt a few doors down from a man named Elvis Summers.‎ Most mornings, she stops by Elvis’s Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclable materials for her. Through these conversations they struck up a friendship.‎ One morning, Elvis saw a news article about a man in Oakland who has been making tiny houses out of deserted materials. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the wood and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign, “Home Sweet Home.”‎ ‎“I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,”Elvis told Good News Network. The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they support it—as long aswe move it to a different spot every 72 hours. ”‎ He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials， including two locks on the front door and strong wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500.‎ ‎“I've met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis said in an email. “Since I built Smokie's, I've had several people asking me to make them a tiny home and it's turned into much more than just the one house 1 wanted to build.”‎ Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM clothes，he has decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more shelters. He plans to get lighter and cheaper materials—without sacrificing the strength of the house—for the next round. Rick Sassen, a branch manager, kindly donated the roof shingles and cedar supporting Smokie's house, final items Elvis couldn’t afford on his own. Saseen has promised to work out a deal on future building materials for the same cause.‎ ‎4. What is the meaning of the underlined words “struck up” in paragraph 2?‎ A. Kept on. B. Established.‎ C. Gave out D. Accomplished.‎ ‎9. D【河南省中原名校2019届高三第一次质量考评】‎ Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.‎ A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.‎ ‎13. The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by_______.‎ A. killed B. bought C. trained D. raised ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。美洲有最早的家犬。‎ ‎10. D【2019届四川省华蓥市第一中学高三入学调研】‎ Driverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.‎ Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67, percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.‎ If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.‎ Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020.According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.‎ ‎“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for Cultural Innovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “autonomous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. high-tech B. advanced C. self-directed D. useful
