We all wish for the arrival of Sunday. 1...

    We all wish for the arrival of Sunday. 1. The hard work of a busy week is soothed (抚慰) by a good sleep that lasts, in most cases, till the Sunday afternoon. But after that, too much sleep can make the rest of the day generally end in lazing around the sofa, without doing anything.

Therefore, to really relax on a Sunday, the answer doesn’t lie in sleep, but in doing things that provides a soothing touch. Most often we get so lost in work that when Sunday comes, we really don’t know what to do with the free twenty-four hours we’ve got. 2. Luckily, there are many things you can do to enjoy your Sunday.

3. An early morning jog would restore your tiredness caused by the daily schedule. After the morning walk, you’ll have more energy to face the day head on.

You must have bought a lot of books on your last visit to the bookstore, but lack of time must have prevented you from reading. Spend the Sunday afternoon reading any book that Interests you. 4.

With life being filled with too much work, finding free time during the working days is surely a struggle. 5. In such a case, Sunday is the best day to pull up your sleeves, and get to work on the house. Clean the house, wash the clothes or mend anything that is broken. In short, making the house clean and tidy is a good idea of spending Sundays.

A. All the hope of joys and enjoyment rests on Sunday.

B. By the time we decide to do anything, the day gets over.

C. Consider using this day to take care of your plants and flowers.

D. On the other hand, it’s natural that your house gets dusty and messy.

E. It is on this day that everyone can safely hope to relax and simply do as they please.

F. In this way, you’ll not only have spent a constructive time, but also exercise your brain.

G. If you want to enjoy Sunday, then you d better wake up early and go for a walk or a jog.

 

1.E 2.B 3.G 4.F 5.D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。人们都盼望着周末的到来,但是又不知道如何过得充实。文章叙述的是如何过好周末。 1.下文The hard work of a busy week is soothed (抚慰) by a good sleep that lasts, in most cases, till the Sunday afternoon. 说明一周的辛苦工作后,一个好的睡眠可以让你得到舒缓,在大多数情况下,这种舒缓可以持续到周日下午。因此推断在这一天,每个人都可以放心地放松,做自己喜欢做的事情,故选E项。 2.根据前面的句子Most often we get so lost in work that when Sunday comes, we really don't know what to do with the free twenty-four hours we've got.(大多数时候,我们迷失在工作之中,以至于当星期天到来的时候,我们真的不知道如何利用我们所拥有的)因此推断当我们决定做任何事情的时候,一天就结束了。由此逻辑可判断选B项。 3.根据后面的句子​An early morning jog would restore your tiredness caused by the daily schedule.(一个早起的慢跑将修复你一周的疲倦)因此可推断,如果你想享受星期天,那么你最好早起去散步或慢跑。清晨慢跑可以恢复你因每日计划而产生的疲劳。早晨散步之后,你会有更多的精力去面对新的一天。由此逻辑可判断选G项。 4.根据前面一个句子, Spend the Sunday afternoon reading any book that interests you.(周日的下午最好用来读你喜欢的书)因此可知书是可以益智的,你上次去书店时一定买了很多书,但时间不够,一定妨碍了你读书。星期天下午读任何你感兴趣的书。这样,你不仅花了有建设性的时间,而且锻炼了你的大脑。由此逻辑可判断选F项。 5.根据后面的句子get to work on the house. Clean the house, wash the clothes or mend anything that is broken.得知平时工作很忙,等到周末时可以在家里搞卫生,洗衣等,那就是说平时家里是较乱的,因此推断生活充满了太多的工作,在工作日很难找到空闲时间。另一方面,你的房子变得又脏又乱是很自然的。在这种情况下,星期天是挽起袖子开始干家务的最好日子。由此逻辑可判断选D项。

    About four million people worldwide took to the streets on Friday, September 20, 2019, for the Global Climate Strike. The young protestors (抗议者), and their adult supporters, marched along city streets outside government buildings to urge leaders to take action against climate change.

The back-to- back protests are timed to coincide (……一致) with the United Nations Climate Change Summit in New York City on Monday, September 23, 2019. The meeting is designed to challenge world leaders from 69 countries to discuss steps to handle climate change. The UN hopes their actions will help reduce global carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and, if all goes well, eliminate them altogether by 2050.

While the strikes are in long-standing anger about the changing environment, the worldwide call for action is closely linked to teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. The 16-year-old got well-known a year ago after she began spending Fridays outside the Swedish Parliament (国会) building in Stockholm to convince officials to take action against climate change. Her protests have inspired young people worldwide to take action in their cities.

Thunberg, who came from Sweden to New York City in an emissions- free sailboat, was one of the key speakers at the UN Climate Change Summit. On Monday, September 23, the teenager told lawmakers, “You all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You’ve stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet, I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are falling down. So you have to listen to scientists and take immediate measures to help stop climate change.”

While Thunberg and other young climate activists are calling the recent global Climate Strike a victory in terms of its size and reach, they realize it’ ll take time to convince lawmakers to create real change. However, the teenager is hopeful they’ll begin to pay attention as more people of all ages join in the call-to-action.

    With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the last mile of the delivery process, from the store to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to stay away from pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, like garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

Though Amazon hasn’t revealed how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them before the delivery, to unlock the cargo bay. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs recharging Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human in tow, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location however, will be tracked at all times—if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly alerted.

While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ bug-eyed robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in test-mode, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge.

Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles, motor bikes, and large delivery trucks that typically ferry packages, they can t climb stairs or open gates, which means they can only reach consumers living the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers aren’t home. whether these issues get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to satisfy the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.

1.What is the right feature of the Scout robots?

A.They can be powered themselves. B.They know to avoid obstacles ahead.

C.They can run thanks to their six wheels. D.They’re big enough to carry heavy things.

2.What about Scout is still confusing to common people?

A.How long it will take to get it fully charged.

B.Why its cargo bay can open at the right time.

C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things.

D.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.

3.What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?

A.They are not easily available. B.They’ll replace humans soon.

C.They have some limitations. D.They won’t be well accepted.

4.What should be the best title for the text?

A.Improvements Are Being Made To Delivery robot Technology.

B.Amazon has Planned To Put A Creative Delivery Robot Into Use.

C.Eco-friendly delivery Robots Are Springing Up Around America.

D.Amazon’s delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking At Your Door.

    A Utah man who has been in a wheelchair for more than three decades has created a pheasant hunt for people like him who need help getting into the outdoors.

Clint Robinson broke his neck after being thrown off a horse at a rodeo (竞技) 32 years ago. He’s done his best to keep getting into the outdoors to hunt and fish, the Daily Herald in Provo reports.

The event he calls “Wheelchairs in the Wild” pairs people that have physical disabilities with hunters who help them with whatever they need. Many go in off-road vehicles.

“What we’re trying to do is get new injured people back out into the field trying to get them back out, enjoying the outdoors and wildlife that’s out there and show them that there’s other things that they can do besides sitting in the house doing nothing,” Robinson said.

The youngest hunter at last year’s event was 13-year-old Missy Cowley who has spina bifida (脊柱裂). Her father loves to hunt but didn’t know how to accommodate (安排) her wheelchair. Her mother, Cindy Cowley, said it was amazing to find a program that allowed her daughter to go hunting.

“We always told her when she was little, you can do everything you want to do…but we just got to figure out a way,” Cindy Cowley said. “But we really didn’t know how we were going to get her up there to hunt.”

Missy Cowley said it was a great experience that also allowed her to meet other people who use wheelchairs. “This is wonderful. I can actually do it,” Missy said. “It was really fun. And I love being outdoors.”

Jerry Schlappi, officer from Division of Wildlife resources, who helped with the event, said Robinson is a perfect role model showing other wheelchair users with disabilities that they don’t have to give up what they love.
