free to use.B.It looks like a wonderful cafe.C.Foreign papers are free to read.D.It is the biggest library in the world.Today we want things better,faster and sometimes cheaper as well.Customer satisfaction isnot enough to drive growth alone and isnt the toughest marketing challenge.Companies needchange their old slogan（口 号），aim for excellence and deliver more,a lot more!But the means ofdoing that is a hard nut.The other day,the hotel where I had stayed asked me to rate their performance.I completedtheir 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 apologyemail a day or so after submitting my review:“Thank you for taking the time to complete our online survey regarding your recent stay atour hotel.I would like to apologize for failing to surprise or impress you.Your satisfaction isimportant to us and we will be using the feedback（反馈）you provided to make improvements toensure we offer an outstanding experience in the future.I hope you will consider staying with usagain 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 themcustomer satisfaction is not enough.They have to make guests super satisfied so that a return visitis 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 Igive is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a superior experience and mayserve as a lesson.24.Which should todays

experience.B.To recommend a hotel.C.To provide his suggestion.D.To analyze marketing challenges.cAs the founder of the nonprofit Khan Academy,which provides free online exercises,videosand software to over 100 million users in 46 languages,Tm something of a poster child for onlinelearning.Despite all this,ril be the first to say that for most students,distance learning cant replace agreat in-person experience.Remember that school is where most of us developed our deepestfriendships,were inspired or motivated by amazing teachers and learned to cooperate with others.So,no,virtual school will never be a perfect replacement for in-person school,but we can doa lot better.To ensure that kids keep progressing on both the academic and social-emotional fronts,itscritical that educators provide live teacher-led video conference sessions.These sessions need todrive conversations between students and teachers and among the students themselves.Teachersshould do cold calling to ensure students are on Iheir toes and to pull them out of their screens.Teachers need to constantly ask students to work on questions together and share their thinking.I have also seen teachers use high-quality asynchronous（不同时的）online tools to ensurestudents get sufficient practice and content coverage that cant all happen over Zoom sessions.With these online resources,students receive practice at their own time and pace.The teacher getsreal-time reports on who is engaged and progressing and who needs help.Through personalizedpractice,each student can work on the skills that are most appropriate for them with a focus on thegaps that they may need to fill.Finally,distance learning has made it much more difficult to ensure that students are doingtheir own work.To avoid a situation where students either get credit for knowledge they donthave or the other way around,educators need simple ways to examine student work.For example,teachers could ask students to submit recordings of themselves thinking out loud while taking anexam.28.Compared with in-person school,what does virtual school lack?A.Amazing teachers.B.Rich learning resources.C.Inspiration from friends.D.Social-emotional experience.29.What does the underlined phrase“on their toes“in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Attending class on schedule.B.Sitting in front of computer screens.C.Keeping active and involved in class.D.Understanding the teaching materials.30.What does Khan advise teachers to do according to Paragraph 5?A.Learn to use online tools of high quality.B.Guarantee content coverage sufficient.C.Provide students with personalized practice.D.Monitor students9 learning situation online.31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Online tools used to turn in homework.B.Ways to make sure students do their work.C.Difficulty in examining students work.D.Inconvenience caused by distance learning.DNow,an increasing number of cities are suspending（暂停）recycling services,partly outof fear that workers might contact the coronavirus from one another while sorting throughused 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 throughrecycled material,and weed out trash.Some facilities that were looking at getting one or tworobots are now saying,“We need quite a bit more.The Colorado companys chief executive,Matanya Horowitz said,Its all moving quite fast.95Before the pandemic（疫情），automation had been gradually replacing human work in arange of jobs,from call centers to warehouses and grocery stores,as companies looked to cutlabor costs and improve profit.But labor and robotics experts say social-distancing directives,which are likely tocontinue in some form after the crisis become less strong,could cause more industries toaccelerate their use of automation.And long-lasting worries about job losses or a broad uneaseabout having machines control vital aspects of daily life could disappear as society sees thebenefits of restructuring workplaces in ways that minimize close human contact.Recycling is one industry that may be altered permanently by the pandemic.Someworkers,who earn as little as$10 an hour,have been concerned about coming to work duringthe crisis and some cities have been competing to find enough protective gear（防护装备）forall of their employees.Federal health officials have assured them that the risks of transmissionfrom household refuse is low.But workers in recycling facilities often work side by sidesorting material,making social distancing difficult.At AMP Robotics,executives like Mr.Horowitz say their robots will enable recyclingfacilities to space out their employees,who stand at conveyor belts weeding through the usedplastic and paper.32.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.33.How do people feel about automation after the pandemic?A.Panicked.B.Doubtful.C.Appreciative.D.Unconcerned.34.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.35.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.第 二 节（共 5 小题；每小题2 分，满 分 10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。September 23 marks the start of a new season.36 In Great Britain,the third season ofthe year usually has only one name:autumn.But if you travel across the Atlantic,youll find thatpeople use both fall and autumn interchangeably when referring to this time of year,making it theonly season in the English language with two widely accepted names.37According to D,fall isnt a modem name that followed the more traditionalautumn.The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years,with the term fallbeing used even a bit earlier.38 The word is of Germanic origin and meant“picking or coHecting”,a nod to theact of gathering and preserving crops in the field before winter.In the 1500s,English speakersbegan referring to the season separating the hot and cold months as either the fall of the leaf or thespring of the leaf,or fall and spring for short.39 By the end of the 1600s,autumn,from theFrench word“automne and the Latin“autumnus,had overtaken fall as the standard British termfor the third season.Around the same time England adopted autumn,the first-ever British American colonists（殖民者）were voyaging to North America.40 While the former fell out of fashion overseas,itestablished itself in the local vocabulary by the time America won its independence.Today,usingboth words to describe the season before winter is still a unique American behavior.A.The Americans prefer using fall to using autumn.B.With them they brought the words fall and autumn.C.So what is it about the season that makes it so special?D.But fbr some reason,only spring had staying power in Britain.E.It is time to gather apples,rice and other things for the farmers.F.However,what exactly you should call that season depends on where you are.G.Before either word appeared,the season between summer and winter was known as harvest.第 三 部 分 语 言 知 识 运 用（共两节，满

knowledge,they are seen as playing an important role in the 62(develop)of society.In the US,teachersare supposedly just as respected.However,I believe salaries for most teachers are far too low.In the US,most teachers can expect 63(earn)less than$40,000 a year when they enterthe field,according to Business Insider.This might sound all right 64 in some parts ofthe US,ifs not enough to get by.In addition,teachers spend 65 average of$500out-of-pocket on classroom supplies every semester.Some teachers even have to take 66 asecond job at night.Teaching is a hard job.Its about much more than simply passing on knowledge.Teachershave to be caregivers,therapists（治疗师），nurses.In fact,nearly any problem that
