【语篇解读】本文介绍了加利福尼亚的南瓜节。
11．B 细节理解题。根据第二段部分可知，组织者提供了30,000美元的奖金作为一个新纪录的南瓜进入半月湾。但是要想获得“新纪录奖”，种植者要带来在2017年种植的超过2,624磅重的南瓜。如果比赛中最重的南瓜不能超过这个纪录，它的主人只能得每磅6美元的钱。而如果一个人带来重2,600磅重的南瓜，没有超过2,624磅。故选B项。
12．D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的 “Special Prizes: $500 for the most beautiful pumpkin, judged by the audience (color, shape and size)．”可知，由观众来判断。故选D项。

B
Nov.21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created by the United Nations just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy (理念) behind it is saying “Hello and stop war.”
It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” won't bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying hello to someone can make a lot of difference.
This might not be obvious. After all, it's such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor (走廊), say “Hello”， then it's over.
Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because they're shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.
On this basis, maybe it's a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.
Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite. Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.
No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert, “Politeness is the flower of humanity.” A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.
( )14.What is World Hello Day intended for?
A．Philosophy. B．Peace.
C．Politeness. D．War.
( )15.Which of the following has an effect on people?
A．Raising heads to others. B．Doing something casually.
C．Meeting in the school corridor. D．The simple act of saying hello.
( )16.Why does someone feel lonely?
A．They are unwilling to communicate with others.
B．They are too shy to communicate with others.
C．They are very fond of living alone.
D．They don't like doing things as others do.
( )17.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We should neglect a small thing. B．Saying hello to others is powerful.
C．The flowers make the world better. D．No one is better than Joseph Joubert.
【语篇解读】这篇短文主要通过世界问候日这一主题，说明了对别人说“你好”看似是一件小事，但是这一句小小的问候可能会让世界变得更美好。
14．B 细节理解题。由第一段中的 “Nov.21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful.”可知，世界问候日的目的在于和平。故选B项。
15．D 推理判断题。由第五段中的 “On this basis, maybe it's a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say ‘Hello' to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.”可推知，一个简单的说“你好”的行为，对人们有影响。故选D项。
16．B 细节理解题。由第四段中的 “Many people are lonely because they're shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to.”可知，有些人感到孤独是因为他们太胆怯了，以至于不能和别人交流。故选B项。
17．B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的 “A ‘Hello' to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.”可知，虽然对别人说“你好”看似是一件小事，但是这一句小小的问候可能会让世界变得更美好。故选B项。
C
In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn't responding to workers' demands; he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making.It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.
Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up even more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK think tank, New Economics Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected(互相联系的) problems: “overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life”．
Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet don't make sense. It's time for a change in our economic thinking.
( )18.Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek?
A．To cut workers' pay. B．To make more profits.
C．To respond to workers' demands. D．To meet labor unions' requirements.
( )19.What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ？
A．More women worked full-time.
B．The number of laborers decreased.
C．Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.
D．It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work.
( )20.What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．Longer working time means better consumption ability.
B．The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.
C．The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed.
D．Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。它讨论了随着经济和社会各个方面的发展，每周工作时长的规定也有必要调整。
18. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded(这是鼓励消费主义和提高生产力以增加利润的一种方式，而且成功了)．”可知，福特公司的举措的目的是鼓励消费和提高工作效率，进而提高效益。故选B项。
19．A 细节理解题。根据第二段“Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce(在第二次世界大战之前，一个家庭中有一个人(通常是最年长的男性)全职工作是很常见的。如今，女性占全球全职劳动力的42%)．”可知，二战之前每个家庭中一般是最年长的男性工作，而在那之后至今，越来越多的女性成为主要劳动力。故选A项。
20．C 细节理解题。根据第三段“a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption(在一个看似永无止境的艰苦工作和消费循环中)．”和“It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected(是时候停下来考虑更好的生活方式了，比如从化石燃料驱动的生活方式转变为以消费者为基础的工作周)．”可知，努力工作和消费的循环应该改变。故选C项。

Nov.21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created by the United Nations just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy (理念) behind it is saying “Hello and stop war.”
It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” won't bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying hello to someone can make a lot of difference.
This might not be obvious. After all, it's such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor (走廊), say “Hello”， then it's over.
Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because they're shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.
On this basis, maybe it's a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.
Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite. Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.
No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert, “Politeness is the flower of humanity.” A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.
( )14.What is World Hello Day intended for?
A．Philosophy. B．Peace.
C．Politeness. D．War.
( )15.Which of the following has an effect on people?
A．Raising heads to others. B．Doing something casually.
C．Meeting in the school corridor. D．The simple act of saying hello.
( )16.Why does someone feel lonely?
A．They are unwilling to communicate with others.
B．They are too shy to communicate with others.
C．They are very fond of living alone.
D．They don't like doing things as others do.
( )17.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We should neglect a small thing. B．Saying hello to others is powerful.
C．The flowers make the world better. D．No one is better than Joseph Joubert.

In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn't responding to workers' demands; he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making.It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.
Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up even more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK think tank, New Economics Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected(互相联系的) problems: “overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life”．
Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet don't make sense. It's time for a change in our economic thinking.
( )18.Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek?
A．To cut workers' pay. B．To make more profits.
C．To respond to workers' demands. D．To meet labor unions' requirements.
( )19.What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ？
A．More women worked full-time.
B．The number of laborers decreased.
C．Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.
D．It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work.
( )20.What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．Longer working time means better consumption ability.
B．The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.
C．The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed.
D．Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。它讨论了随着经济和社会各个方面的发展，每周工作时长的规定也有必要调整。
18. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded(这是鼓励消费主义和提高生产力以增加利润的一种方式，而且成功了)．”可知，福特公司的举措的目的是鼓励消费和提高工作效率，进而提高效益。故选B项。
19．A 细节理解题。根据第二段“Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce(在第二次世界大战之前，一个家庭中有一个人(通常是最年长的男性)全职工作是很常见的。如今，女性占全球全职劳动力的42%)．”可知，二战之前每个家庭中一般是最年长的男性工作，而在那之后至今，越来越多的女性成为主要劳动力。故选A项。
20．C 细节理解题。根据第三段“a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption(在一个看似永无止境的艰苦工作和消费循环中)．”和“It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected(是时候停下来考虑更好的生活方式了，比如从化石燃料驱动的生活方式转变为以消费者为基础的工作周)．”可知，努力工作和消费的循环应该改变。故选C项。
