Jims wife, Shirley McGee, and some family friends offered but werent a match.In order to seek for help, Shirley and her husband wore T-shirts with a sentence “Im in need of a kidney transplant.” whenever they went out but still no luck. Jim lost heart.In early 2018, Jim didnt feel like attending a reunion of some classmates, saying there was no need to do this. However, Shirley said, “Come on. You really need to see your friends. Go, and enjoy yourself.” Then, Jim reunited with some old classmates, whom he hadnt seen for nearly 50 years, including Doug Coffman. Jim told them his problem.

Our family and friends may say it doesnt matter whatever we are wearing, but the workplace may not.Some companies forbid visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain odd dress styles. A high school newspaper editor says it is unfair to judge a person by his appearance. However, as for me, I think we have to admit what we wear does convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of our identity and our thoughts. So it makes sense that companies dress standards exist in the business world, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may argue what we dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for companies it is more about whether they can make money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees because those people represent the companies to their customers.I am paid to be a hiring manager and to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are so many qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.You should be responsible for yourself, if the company says your dress does not match the standards. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.5. Which of the following will the newspaper editor agree with according to Paragraph 2?A. The candidate should also be treated equally even if he wears tattoos or nose rings.B.

What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have the freedom to decide what to wear for an interview.B. Because customers choices matter most, what to wear is not a matter of personal choice.C. As a hiring manager, one should make the best impression on their candidates.D. Companies sometimes have to change their standards to meet their candidates need.7. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Your Appearances MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Employers MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter8. What was the authors attitude towards strange dress styles in companies?A. Disagreeable.B. Unconcerned.C. Favorable.D. Objective.CIn order to reduce noise pollution, more and more airports are promoting a “silent airport” idea, especially in Europe.Aiming to offer timely and helpful updates of information, international airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. Now, it is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.Finland has a tourism slogan(口号) which is “silence, please”. In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland adopted the silent airport idea, therefore, announcements for flights are made only in some certain boarding gate areas. Nobodys going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals(航站楼) will be made only in emergency circumstances. People begin to worry, what if they miss their boarding time?Actually, theres no need to worry about this. Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that the improved flight information display system, together with the advanced technology, is changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, Passengers can simply tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking time to their destinations.Of course, it is impossible that an airport will be as silent as a temple. There will continue to be an increasing need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls. But at silent airports, these announcements should be restricted to specific gates, not the whole airport, as has adopted in Helsinki.9. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?A. Finlands tourism slogan.B. The information about their boarding time.C. The “you are here” display.D. The location of certain boarding gate.10. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text?A. To show its popularity.B. To introduce the information display system.C. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.D. To prove Heikki Koskis words.11. What does the underlined word “restricted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Limited.B. Delivered.C. Made.D. Broadcast.浙江省湖州市2020-2021学年高一下学期期末调研测试英语试题第一节（共10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，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ALast summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. Im driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Stellers first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe Id go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I cant fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”1.

Her mothers love for her.B. Her interest in cosmetology.C. Her care for those in need.D. Her wish to fight severe diseases.3. What did Stellar expect from the project?A. To spread kindness.B. To solve social problems.C. To deal with relationships.D. To make people look smarter.BFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were echoed by scientists from Lancaster University, and the University of Gavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the studys authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesnt affect concentration.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.4. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by _.A. challengedB. acceptedC. doubtedD. heard5. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?A To play music.B. To combine given words.C. To create new words.D. To connect words with music.6. What can we infer from the study?A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.D. Music types matter in creative performance.7. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.CIn the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question is how patients will react to a robot entering the room. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital recently set out to answer that question.In a study, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.“Were working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care workforce. The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us. In a larger online survey carried out nationwide, we also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots perform small tasks such as taking a nose swab (拭子).” says Giovanni Traverso, an MIT assistant professor and the senior author of the study.After the COVID-19 pandemic began early last year, Traverso and his colleagues turned their attention toward new strategies to reduce interactions between potentially sick patients and health care workers. To that end, they created a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. The robots were equipped with sensors that allow them to measure vital signs, including skin temperature, breathing rate, and pulse(脉搏) rate. The robots also carried an iPad for remote video communication with a health care provider.The study suggests that it could be worthwhile to develop robots that can perform tasks that currently require a lot of human effort, such as turning a patient over in bed. These days, turning COVID-19 patients onto their stomachs requires several people. Doing Covid-19 tests is another task that takes a lot of time and effort from health care workers, who could be arranged for other tasks if robots could help.8. Why did the researchers from MIT and BWH carry out the studies?A. To shorten the social distance between doctors and patients.B. To figure out the response of patients to robotic doctors.C. To reduce the risk of being infected with coronavirus.D. To ensure the safety of patients during the pandemic.9. What could be learned from the study?A. Robots are not welcomed by patients.B. Robots will soon replace doctors.C. Robots may help to deal with Covid-19 patients.D. Robots can operate on different patients.10. Which of the following is the best ti
