Below we made a list of five things you should remember at hotel checkout.Don’t be late to checkHotels may add an extremely high price for being just a half hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate away a potential charge.Don’t forget to double check the room and safeMake sure you don’t leave things behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too annoying. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.Don’t forget to tip the housekeepersIt’s always polite to leave some money for the people keeping your room clean.Don’t ignore the detailed billYou may be in a rush, but give the detailed bill a careful look to see if the hotel charge is different from the rate you initially booked.Don’t get angryShouting at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Think about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers. Keep calm and things may be solved better and sooner.21.The hotel will charge you more money if you_________________? .A．check before cutoff timeB．are late in checking outC．do not call the hotel aheadD．negotiate with the clerks22. Which of the following does the author suggest doing?A．Leaving something behind.B．Being sure to keep the room clean.C．Doing the pack-up as early as possible.D．Tipping the housekeepers to show respect.23. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the passage?A．To provide more information about the hotel.B．To show the uneasiness of assistant managers.C．To suggest a way to solve problems properly.D．To protect customers from unnecessary dangers.BHave you ever heard of the "996" working schedule?It is quite easy to guess what it is. According to that schedule, one has to work from 9 am to 9 pm every day, six days a week, something that’s rather inhuman even thinking about it.Yet that has been a common practice among Chinese internet companies. Recently, a programmer shared a project "996.ICU" on , a well-known code-sharing website, as a protest of the 996 working schedule that impairs the employees’ health.The project had a rather simple slogan:Follow the 996 schedule, and you will end up in ICU.On the website, programmers working for more than 40 well-known domestic internet companies shared evidence showing their companies asked them to work the long hours, among which are big ones such as e-commerce giants and Alibaba, as well as electrical appliance giant Suning.But that’s not a surprise because the internet companies’ extra hours have never been a secret. On the contrary, several bosses of internet companies used to praise it as a kind of culture.But according to Cui Zhendong, a lawyer from Yiqian Law Firm, it is illegal if a company introduces a compulsory 996 working schedule for employees, because the Labor Law clearly states that one should work eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week. Yet it would be hard to stop that illegal practice. In order to stop it, employees must collect evidence, hire a lawyer, and go through very long procedures to take their employersto court.Worse, the over 40 companies are the biggest covering the entire internet industry. So that even if an employee wants to change the job, it is highly likely that his new employer will also demand he or she work a 996 schedule.24. What do you know about the “996” working schedule ?A. It’s a schedule that fits most workers well.B. It’s inhuman for bosses of internet companies.C. It means working longer hours than the Labor Law states.D. It means employees has more time to relax.25. What’s the purpose of the project “996.ICU” ?A. To promote the “996” working schedule.B. To praise the common practice of Chinese internet companies.C. To arouse the awareness of those working for long hours.D. To oppose the 996 working schedule.26. Why is it difficult to stop the illegal practice of 996 working schedule ?A. Because it will take employees effort and time to do so.B. Because employees can’t change their jobs.C. Because the Labor Law states one must work so long.D. Because employees are reluctant to change the present situation.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A beneficial 996 schedule for employees.B. Several ways to stop 996 schedule.C. You may end up in ICU with 996 schedule.D. You may end up in prison with 996 schedule.CI have three kids and a great husband and I’m enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun. To the outside world，this feels like “success.”But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am. Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be．So I booked a trip to find out. I travelled，for the first time，without my husband or kids．I went to Iceland with a friend，who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence. For six days, we were immersed(沉浸)in wild，raw scenery and real weather—all kinds of weather. Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need. And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes．I found silence in Iceland，and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers．When I stopped talking and just listened, I became more considerate. Ilearned that choosing to be considerate can create more space, more food and more warmth.But I didn’t really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job. I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy, and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.I came home to noise, rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be. I know the answer isn’t waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland. The answer is in front of me with every step on my own l ife’s path, and in every choice I make.28. Why did the author take a trip to Iceland?A. To better understand herself．B. To gain a new experience．C. To enjoy family happiness．D. To appreciate natural beauty．29. What do we l earn about the author’s trip?A. Exciting．B. Enjoyable．C. Relaxing．D. Difficult．30. What change happened to the author?A. She felt lonelier．B. She became more caring．C. She felt more anxious．D. She became more confident．31. What will the author do in the future?A. Go back to nature．B. Travel to Iceland more often．C. Face reality bravely．D. Pay less attention to her feelings．DWhile staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safety—including the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost—the air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings can’t really survive at 30,000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meantdisaster. The de-Havilland -Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.However, where there’s a corner, there’s a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stress—such as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35,000 feet a whole new outlook, doesn’t it?32. Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?A. To help the plane to take off.B. To save money for less drag.C. To increase safety of the plane.D. To carry more passengers and go faster.33. What does the underlined words “de-Havilland-Comet” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A spacecraft.B. A band.C. A planet.D. An aircraft.34. Which is the advantage of the rounded window?A. It increases the air pressure.B. It weakens the strength of air pressure.C. It reduces the possibility of breaking up.D. It helps to survive the extreme weather.35. Where does this text come from?A. A science book on flying.B. A newspaper on safe driving.C. A website on survival skills.D. A magazine on fashion design.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
