高二英语周测试卷（一） 一、阅读理解（本大题共7小题，共14.0分）AYour 2019 Reading List, Provided by Bill Gates Do you want to be a billionnaire？ Most of us can't live like billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, but we can read like him. Gates recommended four books in 2019-though some were published earlier.
Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson （2018）
The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vinci's contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output. "Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time. That's mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natural science and the human experience," said Gates.
The Best We Could Do： An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bui （2018）
Gates calls this graphic novel "really impressive". Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon, and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents' miserable history. "I was struck by how the experiences Bui describes manage to be both universal and specific to their circumstances," said Gates.
Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders （2018）
Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt （萦绕） the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's son,who died at 11 in real life. "Willie's death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief he's creating in other families by sending their sons off to die in battle," said Gates.
Origin Story： A Big History of Everything, by David Christian （2018）
This new book is by the creator of Big History, a free, online social studies course. It traces history in wide, sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe. "David gets a little stuck on the current economic and political problems in the West, and I wish he talked more about the role technology will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change," said Gates.Which books refer to the field of science？ ______ A. Leonardo da Vinci and The Best We Could Do
B. Lincoln in the Bardo and Origin Story
C. Origin Story and Leonardo da Vinci
D. The Best We Could Do and Lincoln in the BardoIf you are interested in thrillers, whose book will you most probably choose？ ______ A. Walter Isaacson B. Thi Bui
C. David Christian D. George SaundersWhat conclusion can be drawn from the passage？ ______ A. The Best We Could Do left Gates unfavourable impressions.
B. Leonardo da Vinci only made contributions to art.
C. David Christian talks much about technology.
D. Lincoln in the Bardo has been warmly received.BBelieve it or not,a foodie friend of mine asked me whether I'd seen the TV series Chef's Table. Of course,I hadn't because I'm not that into food. But I do get hungry for adventure sometimes, so I decided to watch the show.
This is when I was introduced to the chef Francis Mallmann. He makes choices； he doesn't plan. When he was young, he looked for instructors and experiences, not books or paths. He honored his roots but ejoyed the world and sought things and places he didn't know. He doesn't cling to one lifestyle and he doesn't bend to expectations.
This made me wonder： Aren't we supposed to assess risks, have a plan and then make our move？ I grew up thinking I had to have a plan and have long-term stability in front of me. When I saw Mallmann doing what makes him happy, everything changed.
I thought to myself, "That's how we're supposed to live." Being true to myself. I have already reconciled（和解）with the shame of being inspired by a TV show. Mallmann is inspired by nature, food and language. Me？ My life-changing moment came from watching Netflix with my dollar store reading glasses on. No wonder I felt slightly unfulfilled.
After watching Mallmann, I felt as if I'd stood up from a cozy fireplace and the blanket of my life just fell to the ground.
I submitted my leave of absence application to my employer less than a month later. I'm now full of excitement. I'm leaving my job and a good salary, and I'm going to do things that feed my soul.
Michael Kernis and Brian Goldman, psychologists at Clayton State University in Georgia, studied the benefits of authenticity （真实性） and being true to yourself. Some of the benefits of following your inner voice include enjoying a strong sense of purpose in life, greater confidence, healthier relationships and strong skills to deal with change or difficulty.
So, if you're out there living an interesting life and you meet Mallmann, throw one of his burnt potatoes at him for me. And then tell him I say thank you. I might soon be hungrier and poorer than I was before, but at least I'll be staying true to who I am. I have Mallmann to thank for that.What can we know about Francis Mallmann？ ______ A. He chooses to do things he is sure of.
B. He never changes his lifestyle.
C. He suggests people stick to recipes.
D. He often tries new things.After watching the TV series, the author ______ .A. stood up from a cozy fireplace
B. became interested in cooking
C. reflected on her own lifestyle
D. began to make a plan for the futureWhy does the author mention Michael Kernis and Brian Goldman？ ______ A. To prove that confidence affects one's lifestyle.
B. To analyze how a challenging life benefits people.
C. To stress the advantages of following one's heart.
D. To give tips on how to deal with change or difficulty.What is the main purpose of this article？ ______ A. To tell readers how to find purpose in life.
B. To introduce Mallmann and his lifestyle.
C. To encourage readers to stay true to themselves.
D. To teach readers to react to changes positively.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Few things are more difficult than delivering bad news. （1） ______ Or announce to team members that,because of slow sales, your company won't be able to pay bonuses this year. Or tell people that, because business is so good, they'll all have to work on an upcoming holiday weekend.
Because you're a caring person, you'd like to make the bad news easier to take. So you sidle into the subject, talking about other topics first. You choose indirect language. （2） ______
That's why you may be surprised to learn that the worst way to deliver bad news is to sugarcoat it. According to new research, people on the receiving end of bad news would much rather you rip off the bandage than beat around the bush.

In nearly every case, what participants wanted most was frankness,preferring that the bearer of bad news give it to them straight.

• Before you begin,craft your key message-the 15 to 20 words that sum up what you need to say. （4） ______
• Avoid jargon（行话）. This is not the time to disguise the facts in a thicket of 50 words. Use simple, straightforward language.
• Think through what questions employees will probably ask-and make sure you've figured out the answers.
•（ 5） ______ Of course you're stressed about the fact that you have to share bad news, but you can still express sympathy.
