[2020·长沙四校高考模拟卷(一)]Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a lowincome family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies.“I instantly

felt the urge to help out with that,” he said. Josh set a fundraising (筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn't shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.
Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.
“I didn't care how long it took me,” Josh said. “I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh's house, offering to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124,000 before his deadline. “The_momentum_just_kept_going,_and we decided to do more,” he said. “Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.
Next year, the 17yearold will head to college in British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. As an 11yearold kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.

[2020·河南省高考适应性测试]Every year between May and September, all 54 employees of Basecamp, a Chicagobased web application company, have a short work week: just four days - a total of 32 hours. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.
“That's plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a cofounder. “Working 50, 60, or 70plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 50, 60, or 70plus hours a week, there's a management problem.”
The company's summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr. Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week — to recover from work, enjoy time with family and pursue (追求) outside interests — would be undone.
His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees' physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度) of work. Moreover, it suggests that intense work harms career prospects. That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.
The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally“a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”.
The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.
8.What do we know about Basecamp's fourday work week?
A.It lasts nearly half a year.
B.The work pressure is too high.
C.There are some management problems.
D.Employees work more than 8 hours a day.
9.What does Mr. Fried intend to say in Paragraph 2?
A.Given plenty of time, people can do more.
B.To get work done well needs plenty of time.
- 18 -
C.People can do a job very well in a short work week.
D.A long work week is appropriate for reduced workload.
10.What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us?
A.Getting much more rest.
B.Improving work quality.
C.Refusing a fiveday work week.
D.Avoiding working too intensely.
11.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.More Work, More Profits
B.Less Work, Less Benefits
C.Shorter Week, Better Reward
D.Longer Hours, Higher Intensity

[2020·山西省阶段检测]Visitors to Henn na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: Their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The name of the “bead chef” is Andrew. Using his two long arms, he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill (烤架). In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.
CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicted that 70% of the jobs at Japan's hotels would be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don't need vacation, eventually it's more costeffective to use the robot.”
This_is_seemingly_worrying. In fact, in America, one of the few bright spots in recent years has been employment in restaurants and hotels. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks (亭子), an app that allows customers to place orders online, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumers' demand. Customers who use Starbucks' app return more frequently than those who don't. Starbucks employed 8 percent more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.
Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brownbagging it or looking for the Airbnb to book unique homes.
- 18 -
12.Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?
A.To promote robots.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To voice his opinion.
D.To show the background.
13.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.
B.Automation may increase business costs.
C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.
D.Many companies may fail to survive.
14.What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?
A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.
B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.
C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.
D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.
15.What is the author's attitude toward the future of automation?
A.Objective. B.Positive.
C.Cautious. D.Doubtful.

课时作业4
课时练(一)
阅读理解
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了乘坐大巴游悉尼的旅游项目,包括旅游的景点、旅游班次、时间安排、票价以及购票方式等。
1.B 考查推理判断。根据第一段“Hop an opentop doubledecker bus to experience the celebrated scenery, landmarks and attractions of Sydney and Bondi Beach. It's the perfect way to see and explore the ‘Harbor City’”可知,登上一辆敞篷双层巴士,体验悉尼和邦迪海滩的著名风景、地标和景点。这是游览和探索这个“海港城市”的完美方式。据此可推知,悉尼著名的景点吸引游客乘坐大巴游览,故B项正确。
2.B 考查细节理解。根据题干关键词“2 adults with 1 child”和“premium ticket online in advance”定位到文章中的价格信息表和信息表下方的“Save 10% when you prebook online”,两个大人和一个小孩的价格为$70×2+$46=$186,优惠10%,即$186×(1-10%)=$167.40,故B项正确。
3.C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了乘坐大巴游悉尼的旅游项目,包括旅游的景点、旅游班次、时间安排、票价以及购票方式等。据此可推知,本文最可能选自报纸的旅游栏目,故C项正确。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个11岁的少年因一次偶然的经历,决定为低收入家庭募捐建房,经过数年的不懈努力,实现了这一梦想。
4.C 考查推理判断。结合文中对Josh Morrison筹款过程的描述以及第二段中的“Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn't shake his faith”可知,尽管很多人怀疑他是不是能在四年中完成这件事,但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”,故选C项。
5.B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“his goal of $100,000”和第三段中的“Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair... $19,000”可知,在截止日期前的四个月,离他的筹款目标还差30 000美元,于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标,故选B项。
- 18 -
6.B 考查推理判断。根据下文中的“we decided to do more”以及“‘Josh's Penny House’ is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction”可知,捐款势头一直保持下去,他收到了比最初目标多的钱,于是打算做更多的事情,帮助建造Josh's Penny House以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人,所以画线处应意为“他继续收到捐款”,故选B项。
7.D 考查主旨大意。文章主要讲述了一个11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力,实现为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的“Josh's Penny House”是解题的暗示。钱是Josh一分分筹来的,因此本文最佳标题是D项。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天,共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康,并以一项研究来证明。
8.A 考查细节理解。根据第一段可知,一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工在每年5月到9月期间每周的工作时间都很短:只有四天,共32小时,持续5个月,大概半年时间,故选A项。
9.C 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Working 50, 60, or 70plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 50, 60, or 70 plus hours a week, there's a management problem.”可知,弗里德先生认为一周工作五、六十个小时,甚至七十几个小时是没有必要的。如果真这么做了,反而会出现管理上的问题,由此推知,弗里德先生认为人们可以在短时间内把工作做好,故选C项。
10.D 考查推理判断。根据第四至六段,尤其是第四段可知,这个新研究发现长时间工作不只对员工的身心健康有害,工作的强度也会影响员工的职业前景。这是因为难以忍受的工作时长和工作强度会降低工作质量,第五、六两段进一步说明了长时间高强度工作的坏处。由此可以推知,该研究是建议人们要避免高强度工作,故选D项。
11.C 考查主旨大意。文章第一、二段以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp为例,说明了较短的工作周的好处。第三段介绍了较短的工作周的好处。第四至六段介绍了一项有关工作时长和工作强度对人的影响的研究,更进一步印证了较短工作周对人身心方面的益处。由此可知C项最能概括全文内容。
【语篇解读】 文章通过描述机器人在餐厅和旅馆进行工作的场景以及应用软件的使用,引发了自动化对餐饮业和旅店业就业市场的讨论。
12.B 考查推理判断。文章第一段描述日本一家餐馆以机器人为大厨、一家旅馆由机器人为客人提供服务,用这两个例子来吸引读者的注意,并引入自动化的主题。故选B项。
13.A 考查推理判断。“This is seemingly worrying.”是一个承上启下的句子,This指的是第二段中的“Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and... to use the
- 18 -
robot.”,表示我们可以让机器人每天工作24小时,而且机器人不需要假期,使用机器人更加划算。但下一句又说近年来餐厅和旅馆的就业形势很好,所以画线部分应是表达“这似乎是对人类工作的一个挑战”,故选A项。
14.B 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“which means it needs more total workers to meet consumers' demand”可知,自动化的发展意味着需要更多的工人以满足消费者的需求,即自动化将会为人类提供更多的就业机会。故选B项。
15.A 考查推理判断。综观全文,尤其是由文章最后一段“Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers... to book unique homes.”可知,作者既不随意肯定自动化的结果,也不支持人为抵制自动化,属于客观的描述,故选A项。positive意为“肯定的”;cautious意为“谨慎的”;doubtful意为“怀疑的”。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。随着计算机科学的发展,电脑越来越多地被应用到课堂教学中。电脑虽然擅长重复工作,但是没有创造能力。老师的地位仍然和从前一样,是课堂教学的组织者和指导者。
1.E 根据空前一句可知,尽管老师几乎没有变化,但是电脑的运行速度和容量每四年就达双倍;根据后一句可知,至少“我”认为老师的作用仍然很重要。据此可推知,空处表示人们会对教师是否如先前一样重要产生怀疑,故E项符合语境。
2.G 根据空后可知,尽管电脑可能很先进,但是它们只是人们的发明,用来完成一些特定的任务。据此可知,空处应是介绍电脑的特点,即电脑擅长处理重复性的工作,但是没有创造性思维,故G项正确。
3.D 根据空后可知,一位优秀的老师应当能组织和鼓励学生。据此可推知,空处应是介绍对优秀老师的标准的论述,即好老师不仅仅是百科全书,故D项正确。
4.B 根据空前可知,老师应当观察学生态度的改变,当他们表现出没有耐心或沮丧的迹象时应当及时回应并鼓励他们,即该处陈述的是师生之间的互动。据此可知,空处应当陈述这种师生互动的重要性,故B项正确。
5.F 根据空前可知,尽管电脑在课堂上被推广使用,但是老师的地位仍然和以前一样重要。据此可知,空处与此对应,总结全文,说明电脑的局限性使得电脑不可能在课堂上取代老师,故F项正确。
课时练(二)
语言知识运用
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,通过作者的钱包失而复得的故事告诉我们:只要人人都能够善良对待他人,我们的世界将会变成更加美好的人间。

2.D 根据上文中的“I __1__ it was something to do with an accident I had recently”可推知,作者渴望(eagerly)去接这个电话,故选D项。
3.B 根据上文可知,作者认为那通电话和自己的一起事故有关,但是接通电话后才知道并非如此。此处前后表示转折,故Instead“相反”符合语境,故选B项。
4.C 根据第二段和第三段的描述可推知,Darren捡到了作者的钱包,因此他打电话问作者是否丢了什么东西,故选C项。

13.D 根据语境及该句中的But可推知,Darren除了从作者的钱包里拿出几英镑和作者联系,其余的东西都没动,故选D项。

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了智能宾馆的相关内容。
1.longer 考查固定搭配。句意:在中国,宾馆住客再也不用担心排队登记入住了。no longer是固定搭配,意为“不再”,故填longer。
2.themselves 考查代词。此处表示完成他们自己的登记入住。故应用they的反身代词themselves,作check的宾语。
3.is checked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处表示在信息被核实之后。此处为一般性描述,应用一般现在时,又根据语境并分析句子结构可知,主语the information与check之间为被动关系,且主语为第三人称单数,故填is checked。
4.gradually 考查词形转换。此处应用副词修饰其后的expanded。
5.how 考查宾语从句。此处表示在中国人们的生活正在变得多么便利。分析句子结构可知,此处引导宾语从句,又根据语境可知,此处表示程度,故用连接副词how“多么”。
6.that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词the only company,在从句中作主语,又根据先行词前面有the only修饰,故用that引导该定语从句。
7.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示专注于研发AI技术和智能宾馆。focus on/upon是固定搭配,意为“集中”,故填on/upon。
8.Travel(l)ers 考查名词。此处表示通过Smart LYZ的微信网页,旅客们就能预订房间。根据语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
9.given 考查形容词。根据空前的a和空后的名词passcode可知,此处应用形容词given“特定的”。
10.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语The AI Smart Room与create为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用create的现在分词形式creating。

第一节 短文改错
I used to be a person who hate exercising. But after I started playing baseball, I attracted by the sport. Therefore, I cut down on most of my spare time, like shopping. Though it wasn't th hard process for me, I needed to make more of an effort than others. I enjoy the feeling of wor with my teammates as well as the time we spend together. There is a proverb that goes, “The process is 或

beautiful than the outcome.”
I am a beginner in this sport. Sometimes people will look down on me, it doesn't matter. It will only make me keep trying. Only practising over and over again do I believe I can catch up with other fantastic one day. The challenge encourages to go on.
①hates改为hated 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的used to可知,该处陈述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,故将hates改为hated。
②attracted前加was 考查动词的时态和语态。根据该句中的by the sport和句意可知,主语I和动词attract之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;又根据该句中的started可知,此处描述的是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故在attracted前加was。
③the改为a 考查冠词。句意:虽然这对“我”来说不是一个艰难的过程,但“我”需要比别人付出更多的努力。根据句意可知,该处泛指“一个艰难的过程”,且hard的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
④work改为working 考查动名词。介词后可接动名词、名词或代词,故此处介词of后用动名词working。
⑤删除spend后的it 考查代词。分析该句结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词为the time,关系代词在从句中作spend的宾语被省略,故it多余,应删除。
⑥much改为more或much后加more 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的than可知,该处表示比较的含义,应用形容词的比较级,故可将much改more;此处也可理解为much作副词,修饰形容词的比较级,此时应在much后加more。
⑦and改为but 考查连词。该句意为:有时候人们会看不起“我”,但没关系。根据句意可知,此处表转折,故用连词but。
⑧with改为by 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“通过反复练习”。表示使用某种方式或方法,应用by“通过,使用”,故将with改为by。
⑨player改为players 考查名词的单复数。player为可数名词,根据该句中的other和句意可知,此处表示“其他出色的运动员”,故用player的复数形式。
⑩myself改为me 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,该处作及物动词encourage的宾语,表示“鼓励我继续下去”,故用宾格代词me。
