广东省揭阳市2018-2019学年高二下学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    My doorbell rings at 11 am. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand  (be) a paper bag. She is the little boy's grandmother, and her daughter, Nicole, bought  house next door last October. Nicole has  (obvious) told her mother that I am having a heart operation shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided  (supply) me with meals.

    I know what is inside the paper bag——a bottle of hot soup and a  (contain) with a meal of rice, vegetables and meat. It's become a daily occurrence.

    Communication  us is somewhat difficult because she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an Ipad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen,  showed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know  the food was all right for me.

So here we are, two grandmothers, neither of  (we) able to speak the other's language but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps  (ring) and there is the familiar brown paper bag, handed smilingly to me.

举一反三
根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。

    Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That's because they follow what is called the "996" work schedule (时间表) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

    The "996" work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called "996.ICU". According to the website, working a "996" schedule {#blank#}2{#/blank#} enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, "I know I am not the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996' for nine months and I haven't received any overtime pay. It's unfair though quite common." Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, "I can't sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}."

    However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge treasure" for young workers to work "996". "If you don't put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don't work ‘996' when you're young, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will you?" he said.

    Many have questioned Ma's words. In a passage in People's Daily, one writer said "Working ‘996' is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively."

    A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to use a compulsory (强制的) "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more than forty-four hours a week.
