What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower(人力资源)fo
27、r your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college
28、degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a masters degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers e
29、arn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get.

31、al science or languages orworst of allin philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month.
32、They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn m
33、uch of a profit on you.50. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nations demand as a source of manpower51.

37、rtunity that everyone should have【答案】50. D 51. B 52. C 53. C 54. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教育是提供工作安全和财政安全的手段,是满足国家对技术工人需求的手段,有时也会存在学历和收入不成正比的情况。【50题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower(人力资源)for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassm
38、ent to your society. ”(他们真正的意思是获得足够的教育来为你的社会提供人力,但并不是让你的社会感到尴尬。)可知,社会对教育的期望是培养出那些可以满足国家需求的人力资源,故D 正确。【51题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段 “If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages orworst of allin philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our natio
39、nal demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.”(如果你成为一名英语、历史、人类学、政治科学、语言或最糟糕的哲学博士,你就有可能因为我们国家的需求而接受过多的教育。请注意,不是为了我们的需要,而是为了我们的要求。)可知,许多医生失业是因为对社会不能带来商业利益,故B正确。【52题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can
40、turn much of a profit on you.”(也就是说,足够让你对国民生产总值有所贡献,但又不能让任何人从你身上获得太多利润。)可知,社会只对能给其带来经济利益的人感兴趣,故C正确。【53题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors manag
41、ed to earn just $23030.”(例如,你知道长途卡车司机的年薪比正式教授高吗?是的,这些卡车司机的平均工资是24000美元,而正教授的平均工资只有23030美元。)可知,学历越高不一定挣钱就越多,C不正确。故选C。【54题详解】 推断判断题。根据第二段“Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead ”(至少要拿到高中文凭。否则,你就死定了)及第五段“A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except f
42、or a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, ”(博士学位是你能获得的最高学位。除了一些专业领域,如物理或化学,这些专业的学位可以很快转为工业或商业用途,)可知,作者只是把教育当作一种提供工作安全和财政安全的手段,是满足国家对技术工人需求的手段。故A 正确。DSeveral weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped thro
43、ugh our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasnt sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was app
44、arently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you cant simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting t
45、o this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordi
46、nary rudeness but carefully executed spite(怨恨): I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to. This was the first time hed used the card tactic(策略). So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year
47、 of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组织).Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey
48、 hadnt enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. “I know you dont care how merry my Christmas is, and thats fine,” the gesture said. “I want $30, or Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.” I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to th
49、e bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadnt yet been picked up: “Someone stole Mickeys tip!” Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The le
50、tter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. “Are you Mickey?” The man looked at him with scorn(轻蔑). “Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling.” Not only had Ed insulted
51、(侮辱) this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else
52、?”Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under “trash/recycling collectors” in the institutes Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: “$10 to $30 each.” You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman a

The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because_.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaperB. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tipD. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person56. From the pa
54、ssage, we learn that the author_.A. didnt like Raouls way of delivering the paperB. didnt realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way beforeC. didnt know that Raoul delivered the paper for themD. didnt feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came57.

Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driverD. Ed no longer wanted to give them money60. From the passage we can infer th
57、at _.A. their garbage bin might not be emptied one day if the writer didnt give tipsB. the writer could have avoided giving tips if they had consulted the website of the Emily Post InstituteC. the writers husband didnt know Raoul at allD. the writers family was too poor to give the tips【答案】55.

58、 B 57. D 58. B 59. A 60. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了我收到了一张空白的圣诞卡片,里面需要放入小费,然后把这张卡片放回邮箱。最开始我没有给与小费,便遭到了报复,于是我很不情愿地放了小费。几天后,清洁工Mickey也来索要圣诞节小费。最后在咨询网站后,我才意识到大家都希望收到假日小费。【55题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished a
59、t 4 a.m., you cant simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip.(我们应该在卡片里放一张支票,然后把信封寄出去。当你的服务在凌晨4点结束的时候,你不能像酒店的侍者一样,只是待在那里等着要小费)”可知,这张空白卡片的目的是为了索取圣诞节小费。故选C。【56题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but car
60、efully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to.(一开始,我意识到凌晨4点被吵醒的声音可能不是普通的粗鲁,而是小心翼翼地表现出来的怨恨:在过去的圣诞节里,我没有给Raoul小费。)”可知,我以前从来没有给过Raoul小费,也不知道他为什么要发出如此粗鲁的声音。由此推知,作者以前并不知道Raoul为什么要送这张空白明信片。故选B。【57题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I honestly hadnt realized I w
61、as supposed to. (老实说,我没有意识到我应该)”可知,作者并不觉得自己应该给钱。即作者觉得自己是被迫进行表示的。故选D。【58题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. (这封信告诉米奇,他想兑现的支票已经被取消了)”可知,Mickey并没有从银行取到钱。故选B。【59题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Not only had Ed insulted(侮辱) this man by suggestin
62、g that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else?”(ED不仅侮辱这个人说他是个垃圾工,而且显然忘了
63、给他小费。Ed跑回屋里要更多的钱。然后他注意到卡车司机一直在观察整个事件。他又拿了20块,向四周看了看,手里挥舞着钞票。“还有其他人需要吗?”)”可知,Ed在侮辱了这个人之后,还忘记给了小费,于是跑回家里拿了很多钱来补给小费,并且询问周围是否还有人要小费。由此可知,Ed非常迫切的想纠正自己的错误。故选A。【60题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I want $30, or Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.(我要30美元,否则我会在某个炎热的夏天忘记给你倒垃圾桶)”可知,如果没有得到30美金,那么垃圾桶会被“忘记
64、”。由此推知,如果作者不给小费,他们的垃圾桶可能有一天不会被清空。故选A。浙江省温州新力量联盟2020-2021学年高二下学期期中联考英语试题第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分 35 分)第一节(共 10 个小题,每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳项,并在答题卡将该项涂黑。AIn 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T-ball game.

68、 into the air so he could fly a circle around the house.One evening, my uncle came, and my dad wanted to show him Peepers circle. He threw him up in the air, but this time, Peeper just flew off.

73、 GooseBA strong coffee after a poor nights sleep is the kick-start many people need in the morning but new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control - a risk factor for diabetes (
74、糖尿病)and heart disease.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee - subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,“ said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.For their study, researchers at the University
75、 of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.In one, the participants had a normal nights sleep, roughly from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced

Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a fountain of youth. The idea is that if you find a magical fo
105、untain, and drink from its waters, you will not age. Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus
106、 is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. Researchers at New Yorks Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body. What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can devel
107、op into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs. Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature,
108、Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging, Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laborator
109、y mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. T
110、he researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer. But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer,doe that mean pe

116、ate(分支机构).Williams-Cole was prompted(促使) to run for mayor because he wanted to bring changes to his hometown, a town of less than 1000 people. The citizens of Camp Hill have seen a sad decline of their town with many empty storefronts, trees growing inside what used to be businesses and weeds sprout
117、ing(发芽) from sidewalks, according to WSFA 12 News, Alabamas source.“My main things is to create a foundation and clear up any debts we have to get our town financially stable.” Williams-Cole told Auburn University. “ While doing that, I want to carry out things that will increase unity in the town,
118、like doing quarterly town hall meetings that are more informal and that celebrate the community. We need to open up the floor for people to complain if they want, because they have the right to do that as taxpayers.”Williams-Cole has designed a detailed schedule so that he would have enough time for
119、 both his studies and his duties as a mayor. He hopes to use his education and his position as mayor to help other people, especially children. He said he would want to become an administrator at a boarding school, which gives children holistic(全面的) learning that is essential to contemporary society
120、.“ Cole is different.” Mike Fellows, Lee County Circuit Court Judge, told Auburn University.” “ Hes obviously willing to do a lot of extra work to serve his community.

What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on Th
124、e Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering20th-century telephonic cultureis gone.”The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.Texting is light and fun, not
125、nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocal
126、ls are automate (自动化的) messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to YouMail, a robocall protec

Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate(隔离) them.“The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Web
128、er State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smart phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its ability to guide and monitor fami
129、ly behavior and perhaps connect families more closely,”Fernandez said.Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite. 1. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal

The development of communication tools.C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.D. The relation be
132、tween phone use and family bonds.C Boycotting (抵制) has long been used as a political tool. In the late 18th century, it was used to discourage the use of products made by slave labor. Now it is being used to influence the largest social media platform in the world, Facebook The Stop Hate for Profit
133、campaign claims the platform doesnt do enough to remove racist and hateful comments from its site. Already, this has resulted in a series of major companies, including Adidas and Starbucks, removing their advertising from the platform.Can that boycott hurt Facebook? The short answer is yes-the vast
134、majority of Facebooks income comes from ads. David Cumming from Aviva Investors told the BBC that the loss of trust could “destroy the business.” On Friday, Facebooks share price dropped by 8 percent, making CEO Mark Zuckerberg, on paper, $6 billion poorer. But despite the huge share price reduction
135、, some believe this boycott will only scratch the surface. Apart from companies only committing to the boycott for one month, the biggest factor is much of Facebooks advertising income comes from thousands of small- to medium-sized businesses, many of which have not signed up for the boycott. Accord
136、ing to CNN, the sites 100 highest-spending brands only account for 6 percent of advertising income. In contrast. smaller brands view social media ads as the only affordable vehicle for mass exposure. Though unable to force a change, Zuckerberg has shown sone signs of flexibility(灵活性 ) following an a
137、nnouncement that the site would begin to make hateful content. But this pales compared to measures form other sites. This year is going to be a rocky year for all social media companies.

Obviously, the fact that I handle our finances gives me some sort of strange po
146、wer that makes my husband feel he has to hide money from me.As a matter of fact, I can very clearly remember how the financial form in our relationship started. We were standing in the hall of our bank shortly after we got married, discussing what we would do with our accounts. Because I had a check
147、ing account and a savings account with more money in them, we decided to simply add my husbands to mine and close out his accountsand the same went for our credit cards.Im the only one who ever goes to the bank and therefore, Im the one who brings home cash, which I then split with my husband. I nev
148、er intend this arrangement to make my husband feel like he has any kind of “allowance”, nor do I ever, ever tell him what he can and cannot buy. I encourage him to view all of our accounts regularly, and provide him with access to all of our passwords, but when it comes right down to it, money is my
149、 game, not his.But the question is, is it a bad thing? Thinking about it a little more, I realized that in a small way, Im actually glad that if money automatically creates a power imbalanceIm glad Im the one in control. Maybe it wouldnt be an issue, but I can see how it would be too easy for a moth
150、er who stays at home with her kids, or maybe doesnt make money as much as her husband, to feel like she is not an equal partner.Call me crazy, but I think its kind of nice to be the woman with the financial powerI feel like I will use my power only for good and not evil.21.According to the author, h

153、ore the truth can get its boots on. This quote is attributed to Mark Twain. In todays Internet world of fake news“, lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.To make matters worse, most young people get news from special media sites where facts are mixed with rumors,
154、half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to distinguish fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that stude
155、nts at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice. They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is impo
156、rtant, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be skeptical of online information.Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professionally trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of
157、making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be credible? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next,
158、 look for other sources from mainstream media to confirm the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you wont be fooled into chasing lies.24.What will always happen to young people with news around?A. They prefer a real news story.B. They are easily taken in by fake news.C. They
159、can tell fact from opinion.D. They get worried about their education.25.What is the authors suggestion from the text?A. Fight against prejudices.B. Avoid traditional media.C. Be an editor of your own.D. Believe in trained reporters.26.What is the text mainly about?A. The truth about fake news.B. The
160、 influence of fake news.C. Problems with online information.D.

When fully completed, the system will offer its users services including high-precision positioning and short message communication, which will bring new highlights to global navigation satellite systems.Weighing over 10,000 pounds, the final BDS satellite is th
163、e largest of its kind in the family, and is filled with propellants(推进剂) for the movement in orbit, said deputy chief designer Liu Tianxiong. “The reason why we launched this one in the final stage is to round out the navigation network,” Liu added. Featuring radio-navigation, radio-determination an
164、d enhanced timing synchronization(同步) functions, the last satellite, after joining BDS-3 family, will allow the constellation to provide more cost-effective navigation services, which rapidly wins the global market.Based on the DFH-3B satellite platform, one of the largest platforms in service in Ch

181、D。BAmericans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the
182、first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (平民的) clothes. People have become used to expecting superb quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes.
183、 Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on bills for washin
184、g. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and stay in good condition for a longer time than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there
185、are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they often think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often
186、their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.24. How does the writer begin the passage?A. By making a comparison.B. By
187、 describing a scene.C. By raising a question.D. By presenting a reason.25. People probably believe that a man in uniform _.A. suggests quality workB. shows his social positionC. appears to be more practicalD. looks fresher and more attractive26.
