17、ind work again in a short time I was always confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door.The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathans team still trailing.

19、r hanging all over him.

Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw wi
20、th such skill, as if he had done it a thousand times.As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance (毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson.

24、se.C. A Lesson in Life and Basketball.D. A Moment of Self-doubt.CWhats the point in dining out when we can have whatever meal we want delivered to our homes as we watch movies on our giant flat-screen TV? According to statistics from Technomic, 86% of consumers are using off-premise (非经营现场的) channel
25、s at least once a month, and a third of consumers are using it more than they did a year ago. Most restaurants companies are chasing these trends simply to keep up with quickly changing consumer demands. Fazolis has spent the past two years investing in its drive-through, carry-out, catering and del
26、ivery businesses, and has launched a new loyalty app aimed at making carry-out orders easier. These efforts have paid off so far off-premise sales are up 18.5% over last year for the company, said Jennifer Crawford, director of off-premise sales at Fazolis. But, she noted that sales arent the only b
27、enefit to giving priority to these channels. “The off-premise channel is a great opportunity to communicate and connect with a new consumer group,” Crawford said. “Many of our off-premise guests have not dined in a Fazolis or experienced our menu. With options like third-party delivery and online or
28、dering, we have the capability to tap into potential new guests.”Sales lifts and new customer potential are great rewards, to be sure. But that doesnt mean carrying out off-premise channels comes without challenges. Crawford said a big one is the lack of control and maintaining the guest relationshi
29、p. “When a guest dines in, we can provide a level of service that improves the consumer dining experience,” she said. The lack of control extends into the digital experience, as third-party apps can also be an issue. “Orders are not often processed properly due to the drop-down (下拉式) menus and defau
30、lt (默认) orders in third-party software,” Crawford said. She added that staffing issues can also arise when heavy delivery periods overlap restaurant busy hours and maintaining food quality and integrity (完好) during delivery time is tricky for certain dishes. Nevertheless, Crawford believed the juice
31、 is very much worth the squeeze. “Across the industry, dine-in traffic continues to decline or remain flat. If brands are not driving sales through catering, carry-out and delivery, they are missing out on income,” she said. 18. Why does Fazolis invest in off-premise channels?A. Because it wants to
32、lead the latest changes.B. Because it wants to see the potential of its consumers. C. Because it wants to survive in the changing consumer trend. D. Because it wants to communicate and connect with its new consumers. 19. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. It is challenging to maintain quality and
33、 integrity of dishes during delivery.B. Third-party apps cannot offer as good an experience of ordering as restaurants.C. Third-party apps may get out of control when consumers experience online ordering.D. During heavy delivery periods, more staff is always needed to deal with busy dine-in traffic.
34、20. What is Crawford s attitude towards off-premise channels?A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious. 21. What is the text mainly about?A. What challenges off-premise channels create.B. Why restaurants are prioritizing off-premise channels.C. How important off-premise channels are for r
35、estaurant. D. How restaurants are adapting to the rise of delivery business.DThe worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seei
36、ng in East Africa today is unlike anything weve seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and its taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are alre
37、ady vulnerable (脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides (杀虫剂). FAOs “Locust Watch” service explains that “although g
38、iant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not useful for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels in large areas.”The UNs Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
39、has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to support a huge scale-up in aerial operations (空中作业) to manage the outbreak.But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. Before the beginning of March we must bring this infestation (虫害) under control as that is when the rai
40、n and planting season begins. If left unchecked (未受制止的) and with expected additional rains the number of locusts in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, we need to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not
41、 the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.22. What is implied in paragraph
42、 2?A. People in East Africa are suffering droughts.B. People in East Africa are going through floods.C. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D. The locust outbreak is worsening locals life.23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B. It is
43、 the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.24. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyze and compare. B. To inform and call for action.C. To argue and discuss. D. To introduce and
44、assess.25. Where does the text probably come from?A. A guidebook. B. A health magazine.C. A news report. D. A chemistry paper.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 If youve found yourself thinking of a new job or new career, dont be upset. 26 Job opportunities in healt

67、面表达2（满分20分）阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams and the great speed of modern life, but behavior on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to hav
68、e one in the drivers seat is another matter. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to hit back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the
69、possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem a
70、ble to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to c
71、ross the road wherever and whenever they want to. An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages (堵塞) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn
72、to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time we took this message to heart.2020-2021学年第一学期第二阶段考试高二英语答案一、 单项选择15 BCDBA 610 CCABD 二、阅读理解第一节11-13 ABC14-17

Civilized driving is not only about polite behavior but re
78、quires sensible judgment to identify/recognize it, which is ignored by many drivers. Besides, inappropriate politeness can sometimes put road users in danger. Therefore, with the increased car ownership, modern drivers who lack the driving skills and proper roadmanship should bear give-and-take in mind. (57)
