高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can't count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It's just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.

1.The example of the writer's sister serves as__________.

A．an argument       B．an introduction     C．a support          D．a conclusion

2.The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It's just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________.

A．it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later

B．it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses.

C．it shows respect for the writer's suggestion

D．it indicates the time when they can have lunch together

3.The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.

A．appropriate        B．influential         C．practical          D．evident

4.What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?

A．To suggest how time flies.

B．To persuade busy people to relax.

C．To advise people to keep their promise.

D．To convince readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.

While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.

THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.

COVERING LETTERS---Maybe you’ ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.

THE WARDROBE(衣橱)---Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview.

NETWORKING---Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.

APPLICATION---A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.

THE FOLLOW—UP---It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.

INTERVIEWS----If you’ ve  got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS---Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.

It is implied in the text that__________.

A．people often pay no attention to writing their resume

B．the interview is the most difficult step for interviewees

C．a career coach often offers free mock interviews to interviewees

D．your social network may help you a lot in your job hunt

If you thought the toilet paper shortage was bad, just wait. Meat may be next in America.

1., John H. Tyson, chairman of the board of Tyson Foods, warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing the company to shut all the stores across the country.

“This means one thing,” he wrote. “2. As pork, beef, and chicken plants are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain.”

The ripple effect will make its way to consumers, Tyson noted, as “There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed.”

The Tyson plant in Waterloo, Iowa, was one that closed, having been linked to 182 cases of the coronavirus, which is nearly half the entire county's total. In addition to that facility, pork processing plants for Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and JBS in Worthington, Minnesota, also closed indefinitely earlier this April.3.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported record-high red meat, beef, and pork production in March. However, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, representatives of more than 250,000 industry workers, slaughter(屠宰) capacity is trending down 25% for pork and 10% for beef as 13 plants have closed. 4.

In a report, Julie Niederhoff, an associate professor of supply chain management at Syracuse University, was optimistic. “We’re not going to run out of food. 5.”

Also, Niederhoff claimed that the state of the food chain remains enough, despite shortage of a particular brand or type of food.

A.Demand from consumers is rising as many are sheltering at home.

B.The food supply chain is fragile.

C.The government will take some measures.

D.Because some of its 100,000 workers have fallen ill.

E.The COVID-19 pandemic is very serious.

F.These three plants make up about 15% of pork production in the U.S..

G.We’re going to run out of maybe your one particular favorite food.

What To Do When You Break Your Smartphone?

As you pick the smartphone you just dropped from the pavement, your mind races. You can't afford a new one. How will you check your Wechat (微信)messages? Here are some of the things you can try if you break your phone.

1.

Smartphones are held together with screws(螺丝) and pins, which means in many cases, if you're handy enough, you can easily fix them. 2.

One site in particular, ifixit.com, offers guides for replacing and fixing nearly every part of a wide variety of smartphones, ranging from the very first iPhone all the way to the iPhone 7Plus.

Bring it to a repair shop

Smartphone repair shops are all over the place these days. 3.Depending on the damage to your phone, the price for repairs can range anywhere from﹩29 to more than﹩250.

Try selling your damaged phone

So your phone is damaged, and you don't want to spend the money to get it fixed. Why not try selling it? 4..Gazelle, for example, will pay you﹩40 for a 16GB iPhone 5s with a broken display, while Glyde will pay you﹩142 for an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen.

Buy a refurbished(翻新的) phone

So you've sold your broken smartphone and now you've got some extra spending cash, but it's still nowhere near enough to cover the full cost of a new smartphone, which can run more than $600. 5..

Well, if preowned(二手的)phones don't bother you, you can buy a refurbished handset from any number of carriers or stores at a modest discount.

A.What can you do?

B.Get insurance next time.

C.Try repairing it yourself.

D.So why not see if one of these stores can fix your busted(损坏的) handset?

E.In fact，there are entire websites designed to help you repair your own phone.

F.How much you get for your damaged phone depends on the model and what kind of issues it has.

G.And if they don't want your phone and you want to make sure that it's at least recycled，they'll do that too.
