12、rney across the Atlantic was her third attempt. The first time she failed because of illness, and during her second attempt, in 1998, she nearly died. She had rowed nearly 5,000 kilometers when her boat was hit by Hurricane Danielle. McClure was suddenly in the middle of 80 kph wind, and surrounded
13、by waves that were 20 meters high. Her little boat turned over five times. McClure was sure that she was going to die - she took the video recorder that she had brought with her and recorded a farewell message to her family and friends. The hurricane continued into night, and The American Pearl turn
14、ed over five more times. McClure was determined not to send a signal asking to be rescued - she didnt want other people to risk their lives, too. But after the eleventh turning over of her boat, she finally sent it and a large ship came and found her. However, they couldnt get her boat out of the ro

Together, were working to get out a simple, powerful message: poverty is sexist.Women and girls are more likely to be in poverty, less likely to get an education and more likely to suffer bad health. And when t
20、hey are born into poverty, it is much more difficult for them to lift themselves and their families out of it.Why? One reason is that breaking out of poverty takes time - and that is a resource women around the world are short on. On average, women spend about twice as much time as men in doing the
21、unpaid work that makes life possible for everyone, like cooking, washing, cleaning, shopping and caring. In developing countries, the gap is even much bigger. As a result, women have no time to finish their education, learn new skills, open a business, develop personal relationships or even go to th

52、the Spring Festival parties are quite different from before. People are not together in the same home but in cyberspace. It is another symptom of the so called smartphone reliance syndrome. For many people, they use the smartphone in office, at home, even on the road; they play with it while eating,
53、 drinking, even while bathing. But really it is not the fault of our smartphones, which were created to help us communicate with one even thousands of kilometers away and bring more convenience to our lives.Ironically, we feel more distanced from each other in the real world. The reason is that we h

We have adapted to the technology.However, one group risks being left behind by this trend. The elderly
55、do not accept new technologies as fast as the younger and they can not enjoy the convenience of new technologies either. They even dont access the Internet much.

56、but only 4 percent were above the age of 60. The elderly face the loneliness of being “left behind” by their children working in cities far away. Spring Festival is almost the only chance for them to talk with the younger, yet smartphones rob them of this opportunity.The only way the younger and eld
57、er generations can meaningfully interact is that the former put down their smartphones during this holiday and talk with the elderly face to face. And it will also do us a favor. Actually, we wont be the digital pioneers in 30 years. It is our children that will create and apply the latest technolog
58、ies, and we, slow to accept new things, will be left to our own devices. If we hope our children will talk with us 30 years later, we need to set a good example for them now._花外高中部20202021学年第二学期高二英语学科第一次质量检测卷第一部分： 听力（1-20每题1.5分，满分30分）1-5 CACCB 6-10 AAABC 11-15 AAACC 16-20 ACABC二、阅读 CDB BCA DACB CFBD
