浙江省衢州市2018年中考英语试卷

阅读下面短文,从每所给的A、B、C、D四个项中选出最佳选项。

    Most people use their mouths to talk, but do you know some people use their hands to speak? Some people who cannot bear use their hands to communicate messages to others. This is called sign language. These people make shapes with their fingers, movements with their hands, as well as different faces in order to talk to other people.

    One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers. For example, if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger, that is the shape for the letter "f" in American sign language. Each letter has a hand shape. This way people can spell words using their hands. For example, if you want to spell "fun", you need to make three shapes. First you make the shape for the letter "f", then the shape for the letter "u", and then the shape for the letter "n".

    ___________. If you move your hand from your nose to your chin(下巴), you can say“mother” in American sign language. Of course, you have to use the correct hand shape, too. That shape is like holding your hand open with all five fingers showing. If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin, you can say "father", Again, you have to use the same hand shape that you used for "mother".

    Finally, people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language. For example, if you want to ask a question, you need to make your eyebrows (眉毛) go up. You also need to move your head forward a little.

    If you want to say "I do not know", you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down.

When something is troubling us, it's natural to try and make it go away. We might head to the doctor or make a trip to the local drug store for medicine. Unluckily these methods can be expensive and it takes time.

But have no fear, because you might be able to come up with useful home remedies (治疗方法)with nothing more than a few simple ingredients from your house.

At one time or another, it seems everyone comes down with the flu. Along with taking it easy and getting plenty of rest, you can tur to chicken soup to make you feel better. Mothers from around the world have been making it for thousands of years for sick relatives. The hot soup warms you up and its pleasant smell helps to clear up your nose. It's often prepared with onions, carrots ... which all provide vitamins.

Nothing drives people mad quite like getting the hiccups (打嗝). In some cases, nothing seems to drive them away. Next time you've got a bad case of the hiccups, try this sweet solution. Take a full teaspoon with sugar and swallow it down. The sugar is thought to get your throat muscle (肌肉) to relax. Just don't overdo it, or you might have to take a trip to the dentist.

Headaches are another trouble. If you get one, try putting a pencil in between your teeth. A major cause of headaches is stress, and when we're worried, we often tighten our jaws (咬紧牙关), which pulls a muscle that connects to our head, and this action causes the pain, By placing a pencil in our mouths, we are giving our minds a signal to relax our jaws. This can reduce (减轻) the headaches almost immediately, But just remember not to bite(咬) it hard.

Last year, 61 companies in the UK took part in the world's largest test of a four-day work week. The results were so positive that 92% of the companies were planning to keep the new schedule. worried that they would get less work for their money, or that it could cause other problems. But the results of last year's experiment suggested the move might be good for both businesses and workers.

Last June, 61 UK companies agreed to try giving their workers a four-day work week. In return, they asked their workers to try to do as much in four days as they usually did in five days.

Many different kinds of businesses took part, including online stores, computer technology companies, advertising companies, and even a fish restaurant. Some companies were small, while others had around 1,000 workers

The companies found different ways of giving workers one more day off. Most companies simply gave workers Fridays off., Others chose Mondays, or had different workers take different days off. The experiment ran for six months, and turned out to be good for most businesses.

The number of days when workers were out sick dropped by 65%. On average,57% fewer people quit their jobs during the four-day work week trial. What's more, the companies made more money--about 1.4% on average.

How did workers do more in less time? Some companies cut meetings, or made sure they were shorter.0thers used technology to help workers get more work done quickly. Some companies created a "focus tie" so workers could work on just one thing without being disturbed.

In general, workers said the four-day work week made them feel less tired. About 71% said they felt less "burnt out‘' with their new work hours, and 39% said they felt less stressed. Most of the workers were more satisfied with the time they spent working.

Maybe we three were the most unlucky graduates in our school history. I' ll never forget the day when we had our graduation ceremony(毕业典礼). 

I was known for being careless. I often fell down for no reason. Since I fell off the stage(舞台), my family bet that I would fall down again during my graduation ceremony. The day came so quickly. This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling. But I knocked over the whole backdrop(背景板) which was used to take pictures for graduates. I felt so embarrassed the whole morning. 

My friend Julia was even more embarrassed. When she together with all the graduates was sitting quietly in the hall at eight in the morning, she didn't expect her father to come to attend her ceremony because he was really busy then. The hall was very quiet and you could even hear a pin(针) drop on the ground. When all of a sudden, out of the silence, she heard"Hey, Julia!". Everyone in the hall looked behind and found Julia's father, with a camera in his hand, smiling at her!

Tiffany was the most beautiful girl of us three. She loved all kinds of dresses. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully and wanted to have some beautiful photos. Unluckily, it was one of the windiest days of our life. The wind blew her beautiful dress up in front of the whole graduate class! She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. 

Lucky? Unlucky? So lucky! All of these became the unforgettable part of our life!
