1 高中英语寒假作业高三年级（全国版）Week Four 本系列寒假作业共由 4 个模块组成，分为【基础夯实】、【阅读训练】、【写作实战】、【外刊精读】。Day One【基础夯实】一、语法填空（一）Comparing with other people is necessary as well as 1._(benefit)to us.Firstly,our society needs competition,and only through comparison can we find the distance between us,2._ surely encourages us 3._(make)more efforts to catch up with others.Secondly,4._ is known to all,everyone has his own weaknesses and 5._(strong).If we are blind 6._ it,we are like a snail crawling slowly alone without knowing what 7._(happen)around us.Thus,we are more likely to be left behind and 8._(rule)out of the fierce competition.Finally,it is a world of 9._(diverse),which guarantees us a colorful life.It is a blessing to expose 10._ to such a world so that we can enjoy our life as well as our work.（二）China used to be called the“Kingdom of Bicycles”in the 1980s and the 1990s,but since then,cars 1._(take)over the country.Because of traffic jams,2._ can be difficult to travel across major Chinese cities.Even 3._(go)a few kilometers can take up to an hour.Now,new apps that help people use bikes are being used more and more across cities.Cheng Li started using bike share services about six 4._(month)ago.He said now he was using a car less and the metro(地铁)5._.“After I get off the metro,I usually have to walk another kilometer or two,so Ill grab a bike share and go.It is convenient.”For many,the best part about cycling is how easy it is to do.6._,many of its bike share stations were not placed in convenient places.Now,it is easy to find a bike,and to register with 7._ smart phone.Meanwhile,there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their 2 popularity.Some providers are trying to flood the streets 8._ bikes to be more visible.Sometimes there are so many bikes 9._ they completely block the sidewalks.This has become a problem for city governments.It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk.This blocks cars and people in already 10._(crowd)cities.A woman interviewed by the media said,“Bike sharing is really convenient,but we need to take care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.”（三）The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys growing 1._(popular)in the international world of high fashion.The name“cheongsam”2._(mean)simply“long

the teachers and students were attended the show,which proved lively and fantastic.The hall was beautiful decorated.There were twenty shows at all,including singing,dancing and role play.The shows were such wonderful that we all enjoyed it very much.All the performer were trying their best to show their talents to the audiences.As far as I am concerned,the variety show is meaningful activity as it can help us to relax ourselves from our busy study and enriched our school life at the same time.（二）There is a tradition in my family.On New Years Eve,all my relative will come to our house for the feast.As matter of fact,it isnt the food that bring us together but the sense of belonging does.Making dumplings was always of great fun.We put a coin into one of the dumplings.Everybody expects to eat the one with the coin inside,because it is said whomever gets the coin will have good fortune in the followed year.When my mom serves the dumplings,they help ourselves immediately,hoping to get the good luck of our entirely year.The coin never comes to me,and I am pretty sure of that the luck is always there.Day Two【阅读训练】一、阅读基础 A A few extraordinary female singer-songwriters from the 1970s helped form music as we know it today,and continue to inspire so many with their soulful melodies（旋律）.Joni Mitchell 4 Joni Mitchells influence goes beyond her own generation.Her earnest songwriting continues to be a source of inspiration for many,who acknowledge her position as a pioneer of female expression in music.The 1971 album Blue showed Jonis truthful self,telling the stories of her experiences in life and in love.Blue was later chosen by the New York Times as one of the 25 albums that represented“turning points and the highest points in 20th-century popular music”.Carole King Carole King wrote or co-wrote over 118 hits between 1955 and 1999,making her the most successful female songwriter in the second half of the 20th century.However,King initially found herself less recognized than her husband and writing partner at the time,Gerry Goffin.As the 1970s arrived,so did Carole King in full bloom.Now pursuing a solo career,1971 saw the release（发行）of her album Tapestry.The album was highly significant,not only commercially but symbolically.Joan Armatrading Still in the 1970s but putting in the work on this side of the pond,Joan Armatrading became the first black British female artist to achieve international praise.Joans place as a female pioneer in music continued as she became the first UK female artist to be nominated（提名）for a Grammy in the blues category,going on to receive two further nominations.An artist who is confident with who she is and what she wants to create,Armatrading famously keeps her private life to herself and lets her music do the talking.1.What is the album Blue about?A.Female wisdom.B.Female creativity.C.Jonis musical dream.D.Jonis life experiences.2.When was Kings album Tapestry available to the public?A.In 1955.B.In 1999.C.In 1970.D.In 1971.3.Which of the following best describes Joan Armatrading?A.Brave.B.Self-confident.C.Odd.D.Unsociable.B Today we want things better,faster and sometimes cheaper as well.Customer satisfaction is not enough to drive growth alone and isnt the toughest marketing challenge.Companies need 5 change their old slogan(口号),aim for excellence and deliver more,a lot more!But the means of doing that is a hard nut.The other day,the hotel where I had stayed asked me to rate their performance.I completed their form,giving four-star and five-star ratings,as I had been very satisfied with the hotel rooms,the staff and their services.Imagine my shock therefore when I received the following apology email a day or so after submitting my review:“Thank you for taking the time to complete our online survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel.I would like to apologize for failing to surprise or impress you.Your satisfaction is important to us and we will be using the feedback(反馈)you provided to make improvements to ensure we offer an outstanding experience in the future.I hope you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with an excellent experience.”Shocking mail,isnt it?I believe that is exactly why they get a 4.5+star rating.For them customer satisfaction is not enough.They have to make guests super satisfied so that a return visit is a“no brainer”;no other hotel choice would make sense!How do you treat your own customers and consumers?Do you do just enough to satisfy them,or do you consistently look to exceeding(超出)their expectations?The above personal example I give is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a“superior experience”and may serve as a lesson.4.Which should todays companies seek according to the text?A.Low price.B.Superior service.C.High quality.D.Customer satisfaction.5.Why was the writer shocked at the apology email?A.The way to apologize was unique.B.The purpose of the email was hidden.C.The requirement of the hotel was strict.D.The reason for the apology was unusual.6.What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 convey?A.The hotel is the best hotel choice.6 B.The hotel will be remembered easily.C.Only brainless guests will come back.D.Guests will revisit the hotel without thinking.7.What is the writers purpose of writing the text?A.To share his experience.B.To recommend a hotel.C.To provide his suggestion.D.To analyze marketing challenges.二、七选五 Its normal to get nervous about an important event or life change,and there are steps you can take when anxiety starts to take hold.Try these expert-backed suggestions to help you regain control of your thoughts.1 Anxiety is a future-focused state of mind.So instead of worrying about whats going to happen,move yourself back to the present;that is,focus on whats happening right now.Besides,ask yourself:Is there something I need to do right now?Must I solve this problem now?2 In this way,those distant possibilities dont throw you off track.People with anxiety often pay attention to the worst things that could happen.To get rid of these worries,think about how realistic they are.3 Rather than think,“Im going to bomb,”say,“Im nervous,but Im prepared for this task.Some things will go well.”As you know,it may be appealing to reach for sweet things when youre stressed.4 .The reason is that research shows eating too much sugar can worsen anxious feelings.Instead of reaching into the candy bowl,drink a glass of water or eat protein,which will provide a slow energy your body can use to recover.Following the 3-3-3 rule may fight anxiety.Whenever you feel your brain going 100 miles per hour and out of control,look around you and name three things you see.Then,name three sounds you hear.Finally,move three parts of your body your ankle,fingers,or arm.5 A.But that could do more harm than good.B.Then map out your future in a realistic way.C.Its suggested that you stay in your time zone.D.You may regard them as a method of relieving anxiety.E.Lets say youre nervous about a big presentation at work.F.This trick can help center your mind on the present moment.7 G.If not,make an“appointment”to check in with yourself later.Day Three【阅读训练】一、阅读提升 C Now,an increasing number of cities are suspending(暂停)recycling services,partly out of fear that workers might contact the coronavirus from one another while sorting through used water bottles,food containers and boxes.One solution:Let robots do the job.Since the coronavirus took hold in the United States last month,AMP Robotics has seen a“significant”increase in orders for its robots that use artificial intelligence to sort through recycled material,and weed out trash.Some facilities that were looking at getting one or two robots are now saying,“We need quite a bit more.”The Colorado companys chief executive,Matanya Horowitz said,“Its all moving quite fast.”Before the pandemic(疫情),automation had been gradually replacing human work in a range of jobs,from call centers to warehouses and grocery stores,as companies looked to cut labor costs and improve profit.But labor and robotics experts say social-distancing directives,which are likely to continue in some form after the crisis become less strong,could cause more industries to accelerate their use of automation.And long-lasting worries about job losses or a broad unease about having machines control vital aspects of daily life could disappear as society sees the benefits of restructuring workplaces in ways that minimize close human contact.Recycling is one industry that may be altered permanently by the pandemic.Some workers,who earn as little as$10 an hour,have been concerned about coming to work during the crisis and some cities have been competing to find enough protective gear(防护装备)for all of their employees.Federal health officials have assured them that the risks of transmission from household refuse is low.But workers in recycling facilities often work side by side sorting material,making social distancing difficult.At AMP Robotics,executives like Mr.Horowitz say their robots will enable recycling facilities to space out their employees,who stand at conveyor belts weeding through the used plastic and paper.8 1.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.The pandemic becomes less strong.B.Robots are in greater demand now.C.Recycling services arent satisfying.D.Unemployment is sharply on the rise.2.How do people feel about automation after the pandemic?A.Panicked.B.Doubtful.C.Appreciative.D.Unconcerned.3.In which aspect will robots help most in recycling industry?A.Sorting out recycled material.B.Minimizing close human contact.C.Replacing the jobs of cheap labor.D.Producing enough protective gear.4.What is the text mainly about?A.Pandemic accelerates automation.B.Robots cause severe unemployment.C.Recycling industry is changing.D.Social distancing is still important.D I recently heard a wonderful new parenting phrase that I suspect is going to become a regular addition to my vocabulary.The phrase is“benign neglect”,and it refers to leaving ones children free to make their own decisions,control their own time,and generally act like adults.Jeni Marinucci,who first introduced me to this phrase,described how she treats her children almost as if they were hearty houseplants:“They should be watered abundantly and you should ensure they get plenty of sunshine.But otherwise,just let them be.”From a young age,her children have been making their own ha
