11．I work as the reception manager at my hotel.
A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a guest would be travelling with her deaf father.This note helped us in preparing for their arrival.As they would be here for a number of days，his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.
Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in，I decided to learn some very basic sign language.I greeted the guest in my usual fashion，asking for the surname on the booking.Once I heard the name，I immediately realized who was standing in front of me.
I had been learning for two weeks how to say： "Welcome to Ireland.My sign language is terrible，but please，if you need anything during your stay，just let me know and we will help you."
I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me.Turning to the father，I greeted him in ASL （American Sign Language） and began the bit I had learned for him.His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet.But the father just smiled and was so happy.Honestly，seeing his reaction was enough for me.It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL.
Sadly，I wasn't working the day they checked out，but they left a gift for me，a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL.Inside was a note saying： "Thank you very much for what you did.My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left.You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me，and we can't thank you enough.You've made his trip very special with one simple gesture."
I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day and found this gift in my locker.
（1）The daughter left a note when booking the hotel in order to.
A．ask for special service for herself
B．give some useful advice to the hotel
C．express gratitude to the hotel manager
D．make her father's trip more comfortable
（2）Seeing the father's reaction during check-in，the author probably felt.

A．the author made the daughter's check-out smooth
B．the author was deeply moved by an unexpected gift

D．the daughter asked the author to learn sign language组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5 -
12．In 1992，Teen Talk Barbie was released with the controversial voice fragment， "Math class is hard." While the toy's release met with strong public reaction，this underlying assumption persists，spreading the myth that women do not thrive in science，technology，engineering and mathematic （STEM） fields due to biological inadequacies in math aptitude.However，in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at Carnegie Mellon University led a research team that comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender difference in brain function or math ability.
Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate biological gender differences in math aptitude of young children.Her team used functional MRI（核磁共振）to measure the brain activity in 104 young children （3-to-10-year-old；55 girls） while watching an educational video covering early math topics，like counting and addition.The researchers compared scans from the boys and girls to evaluate brain similarity.In addition，the team examined brain maturity by comparing the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults （63 adults；25 women） who watched the same math videos.
After numerous statistical comparisons，Cantlon and her team found no difference in the brain development of girls and boys.In addition，the researchers found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged while watching the educational videos.Finally，boys' and girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to either men or women in the adult group.
Cantlon said she thinks society and culture are likely steering girls and young women away from math and STEM fields，as previous studies show that families spend more time with young boys in play that involves spatial cognition（空间认知）. "Typical socialization can make worse small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math，" Cantlon said. "We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren't the ones causing the gender inequities."
However，this project is focused on early childhood development using a limited set of math tasks.Cantlon wants to continue this work using a broader scope of math skills，such as spatial processing and memory，and follow the children over many years.
（1）What can we infer about the toy's release？
A．It has raised a storm of applause.
B．Girls perform no worse than boys in math.
C．Math is a subject difficult to every one of us.
D．Women are born with insufficient math abilities.
（2）What will Cantlon most likely agree with？
A．Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.
B．Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilities.
C．Culture plays a leading role in children's brain development.
D．We should cultivate boys' and girls' math abilities equally.
（3）How will Cantlon further her research？
A．By using a wider range of math skills.
B．By involving a broader scope of subjects.
C．By increasing the complexity of math tasks.
D．By following the children until their adulthood.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5 -
13．Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders.For example，Google（Sergey Brin and Larry Page），Apple（Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs），and Microsoft（Bill Gates and Paul Allen）and so on.Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business.No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support.They may have extra skills，and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems.And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsung's Galaxy Note 7.When the phone was launched in 2016，customers praised it for its storage，design and usability，and it may well have been a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded.It was soon banned immediately from flights，and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model.The shortcoming reportedly cost the company ﹩1 billion，and a further ﹩17 billion in lost sales.But remember，based on the lesson，the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world!Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times-and luckily，they bounced back.Take Sarah Blakely，founder of shape wear brand Spanx for example.She credits her business success specifically to her failures. "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long，" she remembered. "People would tear up my business card in my face.But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created.I learned that 'no' doesn't always mean 'no'，and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes.People told me no with Spanx for two years. "Spanx is worth just over ﹩1 billion-it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just ﹩5 000!
（1）What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1？
A．Two heads are better than one.
B．Constant dropping wears the stone.
C．God helps those who help themselves.
D．All things are difficult before they are easy.
（2）Why does the author mention Samsung's Galaxy Note 7，8 and 9？
A．To suggest customers should follow the new trends.
B．To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.
C．To show Samsung paid for its product failure.
D．To explain that failures don't spell the end.
（3）What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success？
A．Her friends' help.
B．Her will power.
C．Her good luck.
D．Her education background.
（4）How does the author develop the passage？
A．By making contrast.

C．By giving examples.
D．By giving numbers.组卷：3引用：2难度：0.3
