manager at my hotel.A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a guest would be travelling with her deaf father.This note helped us in preparing for their arrival.As they would be here for a number of days,his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in,I decided to learn some very basic sign language.I greeted the guest in my usual fashion,asking for the surname on the booking.Once I heard the name,I immediately realized who was standing in front of me.I had been learning for two weeks how to say:“Welcome to Ireland.My sign language is terrible,but please,if you need anything during your stay,just let me know and we will help you.”I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me.Turning to the father,I greeted him in ASL(American Sign Language)and began the bit I had learned for him.His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet.And the father just smiled and was so happy.Honestly,seeing his reaction was enough for me.It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL.Sadly,I wasnt working the day they checked out,but they left a gift for me,a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL.Inside was a note saying:“Thank you very much for what you did.My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left.You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me,and we cant thank you enough.Youve made his trip very special with one simple gesture.”I cried for a solid

Womens Volleyball World Cup trophy（奖杯）with perfect 11 straight wins after easing past Argentina 3-0 here on Sunday.With their eleventh win at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Womens World Cup,China won the FIVB Womens Volleyball World Cup.This year,the World Cup has been played across different cities,and Team China had training sessions even on traveling days when some participating teams chose to rest up after a tiring flight.“Coach Lang focuses on details of the technique in the training sessions,and I feel our team has become more balanced.”Captain Zhu Ting said.This firm approach explains how China managed to turn the table against the United States at the World Cup.Never quit,especially in adversity.Thats what the spirit of Chinese womens volleyball means.When the team struggled,Zhu was always there,doing whatever was needed to carry the team forward.Thats why she has become a national volleyball icon,just like“Iron Hammer”Lang.As for Lang,she took over the flag from her former coach Yuan Weimin,who was behind Chinas rise in the beginning.From coach Yuan to coach Lang,and spiker（主攻手）Lang to spiker Zhu,the flag bearers may have changed over time,but the craving for championships and the steely desire and determination remain the same.Volleyball is a team sport and behind the on-court team,there is always a supportive coaching team and staff.Lai was one of the members,shouldering responsibilities as both vice director of Chinas Volleyball Management Center and as assistant coach.Apart from coordinating between coaches and players,Chinese coaches and foreign coaches and sometimes within Chinese coaches,she also has to do chores.During Rio 2016,assistant coach Yuan Lingxi headed for the arena（竞技场）at 6am every day to film the matches and would return to the

unfortunately,it can be just the opposite.Because of that,Feb.15th starts the busy season for divorce lawyers,as people who were unhappy with their marriages heading into the day often decide that they no longer want to be with the one they used to love.A study of divorce filings(档案)in New York,Illinois and California by AttorneyF,a legal referral(推荐)site,found that February is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings,up about 18%from the average month.And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site increase 38%following the holiday,with the biggest rise on the day after Valentines.Another legal site,A,reports a 40%increase in those seeking information and advice about divorce in the period right after Valentines Day.“Theres a very large number of people who are considering the divorce all the time,deciding whether or not to file,said Richard Komaiko,a co-founder of AttorneyFee.“On Valentines Day,this thing is carefully considered.”Komaiko said February has factors other than the holiday that could lead to an increase in divorces.January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy(破产)filings,highlighting the financial problems that often divide couples.In addition,the cold weather of February can keep couples that are having trouble indoors and closer to each other,adding to problems.But Alton Abramowitz,president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers,believes the holiday itself often worsen the relationship for couples who are having trouble.Theres always the clients who come in a day or two after saying I cant believe it.I made this beautiful dinner for my husband for Valentines Day,but he called to say he was stuck in the office and then didnt come home at all.Abramowitz said,“the day can create problems that lead to them finally getting caught.28.What makes Valentines Day convey the meaning opposite to love and romance?A.Valentines Day wont bring people love and romance B.Many divorce filings change the nature of

problems and cold weather may bring more problems.B.Because the long winter holiday makes couples hard to get through.C.Because the husband is too busy with work to spend the day with his

us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的)species on this planet.Instead,we are diurnal creatures,with eyes adapted to living in the suns light.This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night:Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms to which many forms of life,including ourselves,have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world,some aspect or life is affected.In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars,leaving behind a vacant haze(霾)that mirrors our fear of the dark.Weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earthis wholly beyond our experience,beyond memory almost.Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country,when nothing could be further form the truth.Among mammals alone,the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force,and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁).The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night,birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal,throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,including most other creatures,we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare,to our internal clockwork,as light itself.Living in a glare of our own making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritagethe light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense,light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe,to forget the scale of our being,which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Waythe edge of our galaxyarching overhead.32.What does“it”(Paragraph 1)most probably refer to?A.The night.B.The moon C.The sky D.The planet 33.The writer mentions birds and frogs to .A.provide examples of animal protection B.show how light pollution affects animals C.compare the living habits of both species D.explain why the number of certain species has declined 34.It is implied in the last paragraph that .A.light pollution dose harm to the eyesight of animals B.light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C.human beings cannot go to the outer space D.human beings should reflect on their position in the universe 35.What might be the best title for the passage?A.The Magic light.B.The Orange Haze.C.The Disappearing Night.D.The Rhythms of Nature.第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有两个选项为多余选项)。Todays students are surrounded by information.The ability to figure out exactly why authors writeand
