Traditional Marriage Ceremonies
Belgium
The groom comes to the bride's house and gives her flowers. They go to the church and the man is
inside when the bride's father brings her to her future husband. When they come out, the family throws rice
on them.
Germany
Some days before the wedding, friends and relatives bring old porcelain (瓷器) and kitchenware to
throw on the ground in front of the bride and groom. This is supposed to grant them a happy, lucky life; that's
why this evening event is called Polterabend — the evening with lots of broken porcelain. The Polterabend
often develops into an informal and casual party.
El Salvador
When a wedding is celebrated, the wedding ceremony service starts without the bride. The groom and
all the people who have been invited to the ceremony are waiting for her during the service. A group of seven
men goes to the bride's home. The bride and her family are waiting for seven white cars which accompany
the bride's car until they arrive at the church.
Japan
The couple drinks Japanese rice wine in front of a priest (牧师). First, the bride drinks the wine from a
small cup. Next, the bride passes the cup to the groom and he also drinks the wine from the cup. They drink
three times. This means that they make a commitment to love each other forever.
Turkey
When a girl gets married, all her female friends write their names inside her bridal shoes. After the
wedding ceremony, if someone’s name has been rubbed off and can’t be read anymore, it means this person
is going to get married next.
21. Why do people throw porcelain before the wedding ceremony in Germany?
A. To enjoy a casual party. B. To respect the guests present.

B(供题人:吴书颖 审题人:邹舒 尚彦飞)
Americans Paul Lacy and his wife, Dorothy, who are from Maine, are in their seventies and have run an
embroidery（刺绣）workshop for 15 years in Fenghuang County, central China's Hunan Province, which has
become a hit on the Internet.
The first time Dorothy set foot in Fenghuang was on a tour in 1999, and she immediately fell in love
with the breathtaking view of the ancient town and its Miao ethnic customs and culture. With the help of a
Chinese friend, the Lacys finally opened their embroidery workshop in Fenghuang in 2004. Thanks to the
generous assistance of their local friends, the couple gradually settled down, fitted in with the local ethnic
community, and got their project on its feet.
The Lacys have lived in Fenghuang for more than 13 years since Paul sold his property in the United
States in 2006 and purchased a house on the bank of the Tuojiang River. They said they liked Fenghuang
best for its idyllic（田园的）setting and the rich customs of the Miao people. In addition, Dorothy found the
Xiangxi Miao ethnic clothing uniquely appealing, as she used to study art and design. “But above all, it was
the kindness and friendliness of the locals here that attracted us the most," Paul said.
However, due to language barriers and misunderstandings from the locals, the Lacys had a hard time at
first. They could barely communicate with the locals because they spoke neither English nor Mandarin, but a
difficult dialect. Therefore, when shopping, they had to show shop owners pictures of what they wanted, use
body language, or let an interpreter talk to the shop owner over the phone. Gradually, their life in Fenghuang
got easier thanks to friends' help and the coverage of their stories by the local media. In 2015, they were
recognized by the local government as one of the top 10 beautiful families in Fenghuang.
Now the Lacys’ company has 30 employees. Most of the Miao women who embroider for the company
have children, and they can travel to the company once a week to take embroidery materials back home so
that they can work while taking care of their families.
24.What do we know about the Lacys from the passage?
A.They met in Fenghuang for the first time.
B.They have opened a company in the United States.
C.They settled down in Fenghuang as many local friends came to their aid.
D.They are skilled at embroidering because they love it.
25.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.The unpleasant experience they had in Fenghuang.
B.The kindness and friendliness of the locals that attracted the couple.
C.The dilemma they experienced in Fenghuang and their solution.
D.The reasons why the couple have lived in Fenghuang.
26.What can the Lacys do through the workshop?
A.Help improve the local people's embroidery skills.
B.Provide the local women with employment opportunities.
C.Spread Chinese culture among western people.
D.Cultivate the relationship between China and America.
27.What does the underlined word "coverage" in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A.Composition. B.Criticism. C.Range. D.Report.
C (供题人:吴书颖 审题人:邹舒尚彦飞)
Could the device, smartphone or PC, which you’re using affect the moral decisions you make when
using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants
were assigned a device at random.
One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley problem”: A runaway trolley is高三英语 - 3 - / 7
headed towards five people tied up on a set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five
people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to
save five lives, which 33.5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.
“What we found in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems,
they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly
emotional dilemma,” Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London.
“This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased
psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”
As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social
lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we
typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this
could have on the hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily.” It’s clear that we need more
research on how our devices affect our moral decision making because we’re using screens at an
ever-increasing rate.
28. Why did the author mention the trolley problem?
A. To introduce a difficult problem to readers.
B. To introduce the aim of carrying out the study.
C. To show an example of the questions in the study.
D. To show the difficulty in dealing with dilemmas.
29. How do the smartphone users of the study behave in dealing with emotional dilemmas?
A. Calmly. B. Cruelly. C. Hesitantly. D. Enthusiastically.
30. According to Dr Albert, what do we know about smartphones compared with PCs?
A.They help people bear more pressure.
B.They help people make decisions quicker.
C.They make people feel more mentally distant.
D.They make people stay happier to solve problems.
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Shopping online has a great effect on making moral decisions.
B. The people using smartphones are more than those using PCs.
C. People who often use smartphones or PCs always meet with dilemmas.
D. It is common for people to be involved in making moral decisions in daily life.

Apple has filed a patent for ''a wearable electronic ring'' that could let you control your other devices
without touching them. The file includes drawings of the potential design and lists intended functions like a
rechargeable power source. The ring is designed to be worn on one finger and doesn't appear to be a
stand-alone product. Instead, it aims to improve the user experience of bigger devices like iPhone and iPad.
Apple also throws attention onto the potential safety functions of the ring by stating that the light given off
by some touch-screen devices could be ''inappropriate in certain social environments or even dangerous if it
gives away the position of a user who is in danger''.
The tech giant explains in the patent that touch-screen devices we are using now can be seen as
''burdensome, inconvenient, or useless for certain tasks and applications''. It suggests that holding an iPhone
or iPad for too long could tire some users and obviously, Apple can’t ignore such situations! It says the Apple
Ring could be a more effective way to control those devices from a distance.
Apple isn't alone with this ''smart ring'' idea. Amazon recently put the Echo Loop on the market, a smart
ring that uses Alexa. The device is similar to the smart speaker but is worn on your finger instead. It’s
currently only available in the US and has an introductory price of $129. 99 ( ￡ 100). Google recently高三英语 - 4 - / 7
presented its Pixel 4 smart phone and one of the top new functions is called Project Soli, which provides a ''
Motion Sense'' effect. It lets you control the Pixel 4 without actually touching it. You can wave your hands in
the air to pause or skip songs, alarms and phone calls, and more.
As with all patents, we can’t know for sure if Apple is going to bring out a smart ring device until
official word is given.
32. What can Apple's smart ring do potentially?
A. Work as a mobile phone. B. Charge itself automatically.
C. Promote users’ own security. D. Stop viruses attacking phones.
33. What made apple develop the wearable product?
A. The drawbacks of its touch-screen devices.
B. The huge marketing potential of touch-screens.
C. The fierce competitions from across the country.
D. The introduction of other companies’ technology.
34. What do we know about the Echo Loop?
A. It's popular with users. B. It's under development.
C. It's not sold internationally. D. It's not accepted by Apple.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Tech Firms' Smart Rings B. Apple's New Device Patent
C. The Future of Touch-screen Devices D. New Technologies, New Products

Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. 36 If you’re a female
employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for
pulling it off successfully.
Do your research.
37 So if you’re making a case for a pay increase, you’ll need to gather some data on what
others in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like Salary. com. 38
Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you
deserve to be paid similarly.
Don’t get emotional.
Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, it’s that so-called sensitive nature that
causes some people to claim they’re uncomfortable working with and promoting female employees. That’s
why it’s extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard
evidence of your value to the company. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative
feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while it’s going
down. 39
40
Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data
as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have
definitive proof that your male colleagues — with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities —
are making more money than you, you’re better off avoiding that angle.
A. Don’t accuse your employer of underpaying women.
B. Staying calm will only help your case.
C. Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn.
D. It’s never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly.
E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions.高三英语 - 5 - / 7
F. But women face unique challenges when it comes to requesting more money.
G. They allow you to search for compensation information based on industry and geographic region.

New genetic analysis has revealed that many Amazon tree species are likely to survive human－made
climate warming in the coming century, contrary to previous findings that temperature increases would cause
them to die out. A study, 41 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 42 age of
some Amazonian tree species—more than 8 million years—and 43 shows that they have survived
previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 44 for the year 2100.
The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will 45 survive future
warming, provided there are no other major environmental 46 . While extreme droughts and forest fires
will impact Amazonia as temperatures 47 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures.
The authors 48 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and
fire, conservation policy should remain 49 on preventing deforestation (采伐森林) for agriculture and
mining.
The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species' extinctions 50
relatively small increases in global average air temperatures.
Study co-author Dr. Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 51 were good news for Amazon tree
species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 52 to the
Amazon's future.
Dr Lewis said, “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. While tree species seem likely to
53 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 54 ,
and what remains is being degraded (使恶化) by logging (伐木) and increasingly split up by fields and
roads.”
“Species will not move as freely in today's Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there
was no human 55 . Similarly, today's climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower
changes in the past 56 .”
“With a clearer 57 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 58 that direct human
impacts—such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining—should remain a key point of conservation
policy. We also need more aggressive 59 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make the risk
of drought and fire impacts minimum and 60 the future of most Amazon tree species.”
