B British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some
17、companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness. Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like
18、 this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as muchand there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the schemes success, ” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are. ”The average British worker takes only a 34-
19、minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours. British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nations health and happiness. More than half
20、a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common. Britain is the only EU member that allows workers
21、 to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. OGrady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “Its time to share
22、the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves. ” she says. 24. What can we learn from the passage?A.

23、employees happiness. D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries. 25. Which is the proper description of British working practices?A.

24、s gained from new technology are on the decrease. D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market. 26. Which can be inferred from OGrady s words in the last paragraph?A. Its time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation. B. Workers should benefit from autom
25、ation in the form of less working hours. C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers. D. Businesses cant make more profits without new technology. 27. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce some British firms switch to a four-day working week. B. To exp
26、lain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety. C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions. D. To present the current productivity problem in Britain. CMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a
27、 large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡)from digging, and we all got insect bites, too. I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and infor
28、med them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them. The teacher explained that, after g
29、oing on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in t
30、he past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students. As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school, He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, t
31、hey interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project. That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that w
32、hen we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too. 28. What seemed to be the TV directors initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited. B. They were surprised. C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested. 29. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds wer
33、e allowed to spread naturally. B. The grass grew faster than common grass. C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie. D. Underground water was used for the plants. 30. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands. B. Our hard work was worth
34、while. C. The garden would be famous. D. The project would be finished. 31. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Regretful. DFor those who think that wealth can come without love, you should reconsider your position. To get wealth, if you believe what you se
35、e in movies, seems to mean that you have to give up love because: how can people get wealth if they are afraid to roll over others who stand in their way?I would disagree with this view because Ive seen a bad example. Several years ago, I knew a man who lost not only his wealth but also his respect,
36、 and at last was put into prison for deceiving (欺骗) his customers to make money. He was a man who pretended to care for the well-being of his customers who gave him their trust. He had been a man with good fame for many years, often admired and talked about as a true model of a caring business perso
37、n. However, all he saw was the opportunity to deceive and make money. But I have also seen the opposite. Some people have got great wealth too, because they first feel love towards others and start businesses that help meet other peoples growth needs. For example, people like Dale Carnegie, Anthony
38、Robbins and other famous people who devoted their talents and lives to helping other people move forward. And there is also another kind of wealth. Some people love others and their point of view is to help others. These people will get wealth that is not measured in dollars and cents. Instead, it i
39、s measured in caring, kindness, and the appreciation and admiration of others who they meet and deal with in their everyday life. They are quiet millionaires of life; millionaires with wealth that is not affected by the ups and downs of the stock market or the cost of daily necessities. 32. The man
40、mentioned in Para. 3 failed in the end because _. A. he was deceived by others B. he wasnt good at deceivingC. he didnt want to help others D. he made money in a wrong way33. The underlined part “the opposite” in Para. 4 refers to those who _. A. get wealth by helping others B. succeed by deceiving
41、othersC. help others but ask for nothing D. make efforts to meet other peoples needs34. According to the author, if you love and help others, _. A. you will lose a lot of money B. you wont care about moneyC. you will get another kind of wealth D. you will make good money more easily35. What can be u
42、sed as the best title of the passage?A. Three ways to become wealthyB. What do wealthy people have in common?C. What kind of wealth would you rather get?D. Loving and helping others brings you wealth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。Ernest Hemingways first book of
43、 stories is called “In Our Time”. It includes a story called “Big Two-Hearted River”, about the effect of war on a young man. It tells about the young man taking a long fishing trip in Michigan. The story is about two kinds of rivers. 36It is where the young man fishes. The other is dark. It is a sw
44、amp, a dangerous place. 37He is also trying to forget the war. Yet he never really speaks about it. The reader learns about the young man, not because Hemingway tells what the young man thinks, but because he shows the young man learning about himself. “Big Two-Hearted River” is considered one of th
