Dublin Castle It’s hard to say no to a good castle. And you have one right in the heart of Dublin. And like all good castles, it has a storied history — from its start in the 1200s. A fire in 1684 damaged a good bit of the castle. Later, it was rebuilt, and then parts of it took on the look of a Georgian palace, making for an interesting mix of styles today. It’s open nearly every day except Thursdays. Dame St,+353 1 645 8813 National Gallery of Ireland In the gallery, the collection’s 15,000 Irish and European works date from the 13th to mid-20th centuries and include paintings, prints and national portraits. It’s open nearly every day except Monday. Call and book the ticket in advance. Merrion Square West,+353 1 661 5133 St. Stephen’s Green This park is in the center of Dublin. It has important sculptures of major figures. Sycamores (梧桐) and other trees line the perimeter (周边) to help prevent city noise, and it’s a shelter for birds as well as people. It’s open all year and it’s a very easy walk from the National Gallery. At the top of Grafton Street,+353 1 662 4936 Ha’ penny Bridge This cast-iron bridge over the River Liffey has become the symbol of Dublin, with its wonderful design and lampposts. The Ha’ penny Bridge is so named for the one halfpenny that was originally required to be paid to cross it. When it was built in 1816, the Ha’ penny Bridge was the first iron bridge across the Liffey. Bachelors Walk Wellington Quay, Ireland,+353 1 661 7296 1. What do Dublin Castle and St. Stephen’s Green have in common? A. Lying in the center of Dublin. B. Being open on any day. C. Being famous for its paintings. D. Having sculptures of figures. 2. Which number should you call if you are interested in paintings? A. +353 1 645 8813. B. +353 1 661 5133. C. +353 1 662 4936. D. +353 1 661 7296. 3. Why is the cast-iron bridge called the Ha’ penny Bridge? A. It has become the symbol of Dublin. B. It is the first iron bridge across the Liffey. C. It’s famous for its designs and lampposts. D. It originally cost one halfpenny to cross. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了都柏林的四大景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dublin Castle部分“It’s hard to say no to a good castle. And you have one right in the heart of Dublin.(面对一座优秀城堡，你很难说不。而在都柏林市中心，你就有这样一座城堡)”和St. Stephen’s Green部分“This park is in the center of Dublin.(这座公园位于都柏林市中心)”可知，这两个地方的共同之处是它们都坐落于都柏林的中心。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Gallery of Ireland部分“In the gallery, the collection’s 15,000 Irish and European works date from the 13th to mid-20th centuries and include paintings, prints and national portraits.(美术馆收藏的15,000件爱尔兰和欧洲艺术品可追溯至13世纪至20世纪中叶，包括油画、版画和国家肖像画)”及“Merrion Square West,+35316615133(地址：Merrion Square West，电话：+353 1 661 5133)”可知，如果对绘画感兴趣，应该拨打电话+353 1 661 5133。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ha’ penny Bridge部分“The Ha’ penny Bridge is so named for the one halfpenny that was originally required to be paid to cross it.(The Ha’ penny Bridge之所以得名，是因为最初过桥需要支付半便士的费用)”可知，The Ha’ penny Bridge因其最初的通行费为半便士而得名。故选D。 B When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal(航站楼). I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!” I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found three strangers willing to rent a car with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence. The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA). I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays(托盘). As are the days when there were three dinner choices on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac(机场停机坪)in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to enjoy. The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future. 4. What happened when the author stepped out of the plane? A. Passengers had to wait until the next day. B. The flights to the Northeast were cancelled. C. The gathering crowd shouted at a gate agent. D. There was an accidental attack in the terminal. 5. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. The writer used to be a flight attendant. B. They spent a night driving to Providence. C. Three strangers offered to lend the writer a car. D The writer managed to leave Charlotte by air. 6. Why did the author mention the past days in the third paragraph? A. To ask for more napkins with the TWA logo. B. To show that she has rich travelling experience. C. To compare the service in the past with the one now. D. To share she prefers more dinner choices on flights. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the service in the future? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者从事航空行业的亲身经历及对航空服务变化的感悟和期待。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm.”(我很快得知，飞往东北部的航班因风暴而被取消。)可知，飞往东北部的航班被取消了。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA).”(这真的让我感到不安，因为我曾在另一边为环球航空公司（TWA）担任了八年的空乘人员。)可知，作者曾是一名空乘人员。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays(托盘).(我知道，如果我们不在头等舱餐盘的右下角放上印有环球航空公司标志的餐巾纸，服务员就会被惩罚的日子已经一去不复返了。)”可知，作者提及过往的日子是为了将曾经优质的航空服务和如今服务水平下降作比较，来表达内心的遗憾。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to enjoy. The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.”(但我相信一切都会逐渐改变，因为我记得当飞行是一种享受的日子。航空公司及其员工为他们乘客受到的待遇感到自豪。我认为这些日子肯定会在不久的将来回归。)可知，作者对未来的服务持乐观态度。故选A。 C If your next meeting can’t be an email, maybe it can just be 15 minutes. The 15-minute meeting is the fastest-growing period of time that workers and bosses are planning, according to an analysis of Microsoft Teams data, which also shows people are booking fewer hour-long meetings. Fifteen-minute meetings now make up 60 percent of gatherings, proving that employers and employees alike have grown stricter about their time. Thirty minutes tends to be the common time for many meetings. Jayne Sandman, who runs a Washington, D. C., branding-and-marketing company, generally gives people a tight 15. “The death of your day is too many ‘half-hours’,” she says. Sandman starts calls with something warm and exciting, such as “I can’t wait to hear about your weekend later!” Then she quickly turns to business, noting there are only 15 minutes on the docket (议程). Over three-fourths of employees say shorter meetings are more efficient, according to a new survey of more than 2,000 U. S. workers conducted in September by market-research company Civicscience. One-third of respondents said they stop paying attention after 15 minutes anyway. For an employee who makes $100 an hour, cutting down 4 of their meetings by 15 minutes is a $100 savings. Shorter meetings can also help employees work less hours. Companies that have gone to a four-day workweek say slashing meetings that deal with unimportant things is the first step to increase efficient hours out of the day. Rahim Charania, managing partner of a real-estate investment company, says the 15-minute unit is the standard time, and few meetings last longer than that. “It forces everyone to do the majority of their thinking before the meeting.” 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Arguments over meeting time. B. Means of attending meetings. C. People’s attitudes towards time. D. People’s preference for shorter meetings. 9. How does the author show the efficiency of 15-minute meetings? A. By listing figures. B. By making a comparison. C. By telling a story. D. By giving definitions. 10. What does the underlined word “slashing” in the third paragraph mean? A. Adding. B. Cutting. C. Organizing. D. Attending. 11. What is the benefit of shorter meetings according to Rahim Charania? A. Workers can earn more money. B. Workers can stay more focused. C. Workers will prepare for meetings well. D. Workers can have more time themselves. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了15分钟的会议越来越受欢迎，因为它更高效并帮助员工减少工作时间。目前有60%的会议安排为15分钟，这表明人们对时间管理变得更加严格。短会议能够提高参与者的专注度和准备工作，从而提高会议效率。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The 15-minute meeting is the fastest-growing period of time that workers and bosses are planning, according to an analysis of Microsoft Teams data, which also shows people are booking fewer hour-long meetings. Fifteen-minute meetings now make up 60 percent of gatherings, proving that employers and employees alike have grown stricter about their time.(根据对微软团队数据的分析，15分钟的会议是员工和老板计划的时间增长最快的一段时间，该分析还显示，人们预订的一小时会议越来越少。15分钟的会议现在占到聚会的 60%，这证明雇主和雇员对时间的要求都越来越严格)”可知，第一段主要讲了人们预定一小时的会议的情况越来越少，越来越多的人更喜欢较短时间的会议。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Over three-fourths of employees say shorter meetings are more efficient, according to a new survey of more than 2,000 U. S. workers conducted in September by market-research company Civicscience. One-third of respondents said they stop paying attention after 15 minutes anyway. For an employee who makes $100 an hour, cutting down 4 of their meetings by 15 minutes is a $100 savings.(市场研究公司Civicscience今年9月对2000多名美国员工进行的一项新调查显示，超过四分之三的员工认为会议时间越短效率越高。三分之一的受访者表示，他们在15分钟后就不再集中注意力了。对于一个每小时赚100美元的员工来说，减少15分钟的4次会议就节省了100美元)”可知，作者通过列出数字来展示15分钟会议的效率。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Shorter meetings can also help employees work less hours.(缩短会议时间也可以帮助员工减少工作时间) ”以及划线词后“that deal with unimportant things is the first step to increase efficient hours out of the day.(不重要事情的会议是提高一天效率的第一步)”可知，减少处理不重要事情的会议是提高一天工作效率的第一步，推测划线词 slashing意为“减少；削减”，和Cutting意思相近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rahim Charania, managing partner of a real-estate investment company, says the 15-minute unit is the standard time, and few meetings last longer than that. “It forces everyone to do the majority of their thinking before the meeting.”(一家房地产投资公司的管理合伙人Rahim Charania表示，15分钟的时间是标准时间，很少有会议能超过这个时间。“这迫使每个人在会议前做大部分的思考。”)”可知，根据Rahim Charania所说，缩短会议的好处是它迫使每个人在开会前做大部分的思考，也就是为会议做好准备。故选C项。 D On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading. This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parents’ being a part of it is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.” Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check their understanding. In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: in just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child. Backpacks full of school supplies and tablets are offered as encouragement for completing the whole program. Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years. Currently it’s running tests in different cities to see which parts of the program are necessary and important and which could be cut if a particular school lacks money for them. For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children. 12. What’s the purpose of Springboard Collaborative? A. To teach parents learning skills. B. To help teachers do a home visit. C. To improve students’ reading ability. D. To strengthen the parent-kid relationship. 13. What weighs most in Springboard Collaborative program? A. Teachers’ home visits. B. Parents’ participation. C. Children’s new reading habits. D. Encouragement from the program. 14. What can be inferred about the program from the last two paragraphs? A. It intends to build a new model and spread it. B Students will be given backpacks once they join in it. C. Its effectiveness is proved by a large amount of data. D. The free tablets make the most difference in its success. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. No Pains, No Gains B. Reading Makes One’s Life Better C. How to Change Children’s Future D. One Hour a Week, a Step Up 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个让家庭成员参与并帮助有阅读困难的孩子练习阅读的项目—— Springboard Collaborative。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(Springboard为阅读困难的人开设课外和暑期课程。每周一次，一位家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个年长的兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学生学习和实践在课堂上学习的方法)”可知，Springboard Collaborative 项目的意图是帮助阅读困难的学生学习和实践在课堂上学习的方法从而提升学生的阅读能力。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Parents’ being a part of it is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”(“家长参与其中是我们项目的核心，”创始人亚历杭德罗·吉布斯·德加克说。“这是鸡尾酒里的烈酒。”)”可知，在 Springboard Collaborative 项目中家长的参与最重要。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: in just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further.(在过去的七年里，Springboard收集了大量的数据来证明它的有效性。例如：平均在短短五周内，四分之三的学生达到了下一个阅读水平，甚至更高)”和最后一段中“Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years.(Springboard 计划通过推广其模式来扩大规模，目标是在未来4年内惠及10万名儿童)”可推知，从最后两段我们知道大量数据证明了该方法的有效性，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一个让家庭成员参与并帮助有阅读困难的孩子练习阅读的项目。结合第二段中“Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(每周一次, 家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个老兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学习和实践学生在课堂上学习的方法)”和倒数第二段“In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: in just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further.(在过去的七年里，Springboard收集了大量的数据来证明它的有效性。例如：平均在短短五周内，四分之三的学生达到了下一个阅读水平，甚至更高)”可知，该项目让家庭成员每周花一个小时，参与孩子阅读练习，并取得了不错的效果。因此“每周一小时，步步提升”是最佳标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How to start cycling Cycling is a fun, simple, and low-impact sport, which is why many people choose to start biking in the first place.

By the way, never wear headphones or earbuds (耳塞) while riding outdoors. ●Make it a habit. Your first few rides might be tough — your body is adapting to the stress of a totally new activity. But like all things in life, real progress is made when you stick with it for the long run. The first step you need to take is to set some realistic goals. _____19_____. Besides, to overcome laziness, do a little pre-ride preparation will prevent excuses from getting in the way.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何开始骑行运动提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据下文给出的怎样开始骑行的建议可知，空格处的句子应该是一个引领句，引出下文的建议，所以，F项“Here’s how to start cycling today and keep at it in the future.(以下是如何从今天开始骑自行车，并在未来坚持下去的方法。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据空格前的主题句“Pick the right bike.(选择正确的自行车。)”和空格后的句子“Just like picking the perfect pair of running shoes, you first need to size your bike. We highly recommend visiting your local bike shop, as you can try different styles and sizes.(就像挑选一双完美的跑鞋一样，你首先需要确定自行车的尺寸。我们强烈建议你去当地的自行车店，因为你可以尝试不同的款式和尺寸。)”可知，空格处的句子应该提到选择正确的自行车的重要性，所以，E项“You can’t get started without a great set of wheels.(没有一辆很棒的车子，你是无法开始的。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“Wearing a helmet when you ride is important, but there’s more to staying safe on your bike than just protecting your head. Follow local traffic laws, which includes coming to a complete stop at red lights and stop signs. When riding alone, always carry a basic tool, and your phone in case of an emergency. By the way, never wear headphones or earbuds (耳塞) while riding outdoors.(骑车时戴头盔很重要，但要想在自行车上保持安全，不仅仅是保护头部。遵守当地的交通法规，其中包括在红灯和停止标志前完全停车。独自骑行时，一定要随身携带基本工具和手机，以备不时之需。顺便说一下，在户外骑车时不要戴耳机或耳塞。)”可知，该部分主要说的是骑车时要注意的安全事项。所以，B项“Take safety measures.(采取安全措施。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据空格前的句子“The first step you need to take is to set some realistic goals.(你需要采取的第一步是设定一些现实的目标。)”可知，空格处的句子应该接着说怎样设定现实的目标，所以，C项“Start small and grow from there.(从小处开始，然后循序渐进。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选C项。 【20题详解】 空格前的句子“Not all of these tips will apply to everyone, so try out the ones that suit you.(并不是所有的建议都适用于每个人，所以试试适合你的。)”提到你要选择适合自己的建议，空格处的句子应该解释为什么这样做，所以，D项“Those things that are fit for you are the best.(适合你的东西才是最好的。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Unemployment continued, and I was long out of work.

Dublin Castle It’s hard to say no to a good castle. And you have one right in the heart of Dublin. And like all good castles, it has a storied history — from its start in the 1200s. A fire in 1684 damaged a good bit of the castle. Later, it was rebuilt, and then parts of it took on the look of a Georgian palace, making for an interesting mix of styles today. It’s open nearly every day except Thursdays. Dame St,+353 1 645 8813 National Gallery of Ireland In the gallery, the collection’s 15,000 Irish and European works date from the 13th to mid-20th centuries and include paintings, prints and national portraits. It’s open nearly every day except Monday. Call and book the ticket in advance. Merrion Square West,+353 1 661 5133 St. Stephen’s Green This park is in the center of Dublin. It has important sculptures of major figures. Sycamores (梧桐) and other trees line the perimeter (周边) to help prevent city noise, and it’s a shelter for birds as well as people. It’s open all year and it’s a very easy walk from the National Gallery. At the top of Grafton Street,+353 1 662 4936 Ha’ penny Bridge This cast-iron bridge over the River Liffey has become the symbol of Dublin, with its wonderful design and lampposts. The Ha’ penny Bridge is so named for the one halfpenny that was originally required to be paid to cross it. When it was built in 1816, the Ha’ penny Bridge was the first iron bridge across the Liffey. Bachelors Walk Wellington Quay, Ireland,+353 1 661 7296 1. What do Dublin Castle and St. Stephen’s Green have in common? A. Lying in the center of Dublin. B. Being open on any day. C. Being famous for its paintings. D. Having sculptures of figures. 2. Which number should you call if you are interested in paintings? A. +353 1 645 8813. B. +353 1 661 5133. C. +353 1 662 4936. D. +353 1 661 7296. 3. Why is the cast-iron bridge called the Ha’ penny Bridge? A. It has become the symbol of Dublin. B. It is the first iron bridge across the Liffey. C. It’s famous for its designs and lampposts. D. It originally cost one halfpenny to cross. B When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal(航站楼). I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!” I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found three strangers willing to rent a car with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence. The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA). I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays(托盘). As are the days when there were three dinner choices on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac(机场停机坪)in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to enjoy. The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future. 4. What happened when the author stepped out of the plane? A. Passengers had to wait until the next day. B. The flights to the Northeast were cancelled. C. The gathering crowd shouted at a gate agent. D. There was an accidental attack in the terminal. 5. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A The writer used to be a flight attendant. B. They spent a night driving to Providence. C. Three strangers offered to lend the writer a car. D. The writer managed to leave Charlotte by air. 6. Why did the author mention the past days in the third paragraph? A. To ask for more napkins with the TWA logo. B. To show that she has rich travelling experience. C. To compare the service in the past with the one now. D. To share she prefers more dinner choices on flights. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the service in the future? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. C If your next meeting can’t be an email, maybe it can just be 15 minutes. The 15-minute meeting is the fastest-growing period of time that workers and bosses are planning, according to an analysis of Microsoft Teams data, which also shows people are booking fewer hour-long meetings. Fifteen-minute meetings now make up 60 percent of gatherings, proving that employers and employees alike have grown stricter about their time. Thirty minutes tends to be the common time for many meetings. Jayne Sandman, who runs a Washington, D. C., branding-and-marketing company, generally gives people a tight 15. “The death of your day is too many ‘half-hours’,” she says. Sandman starts calls with something warm and exciting, such as “I can’t wait to hear about your weekend later!” Then she quickly turns to business, noting there are only 15 minutes on the docket (议程). Over three-fourths of employees say shorter meetings are more efficient, according to a new survey of more than 2,000 U. S. workers conducted in September by market-research company Civicscience. One-third of respondents said they stop paying attention after 15 minutes anyway. For an employee who makes $100 an hour, cutting down 4 of their meetings by 15 minutes is a $100 savings. Shorter meetings can also help employees work less hours. Companies that have gone to a four-day workweek say slashing meetings that deal with unimportant things is the first step to increase efficient hours out of the day. Rahim Charania, managing partner of a real-estate investment company, says the 15-minute unit is the standard time, and few meetings last longer than that. “It forces everyone to do the majority of their thinking before the meeting.” 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Arguments over meeting time. B. Means of attending meetings. C. People’s attitudes towards time. D. People’s preference for shorter meetings. 9. How does the author show the efficiency of 15-minute meetings? A. By listing figures. B. By making a comparison. C. By telling a story. D. By giving definitions. 10. What does the underlined word “slashing” in the third paragraph mean? A. Adding. B. Cutting. C. Organizing. D. Attending. 11. What is the benefit of shorter meetings according to Rahim Charania? A. Workers can earn more money. B. Workers can stay more focused. C. Workers will prepare for meetings well. D. Workers can have more time themselves. D On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading. This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parents’ being a part of it is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.” Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check their understanding. In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: in just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child. Backpacks full of school supplies and tablets are offered as encouragement for completing the whole program. Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years. Currently it’s running tests in different cities to see which parts of the program are necessary and important and which could be cut if a particular school lacks money for them. For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children. 12. What’s the purpose of Springboard Collaborative? A. To teach parents learning skills. B. To help teachers do a home visit. C. To improve students’ reading ability. D. To strengthen the parent-kid relationship. 13. What weighs most in Springboard Collaborative program? A. Teachers’ home visits. B. Parents’ participation. C. Children’s new reading habits. D. Encouragement from the program. 14. What can be inferred about the program from the last two paragraphs? A. It intends to build a new model and spread it. B. Students will be given backpacks once they join in it. C. Its effectiveness is proved by a large amount of data. D. The free tablets make the most difference in its success. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. No Pains, No Gains B. Reading Makes One’s Life Better C. How to Change Children’s Future D.
