Social distancing places no such location constraints; rather, it is a behavioral practice to lower the risk in most circumstances.24%Work from homeA number of companies asked their employees to work from home, with some of them having carried out remote work policies.

Volunteers could go to the post office, examine piles of letters that children had sent to Santa Claus and pick one or more that tugged at their heartstrings. Gifts were then acquired, wrapped and shipped to families whose space beneath the tree might otherwise be empty.With the covid-19 still raging, however, the US Postal Service announced that it was taking its annual “Operation Santa ‘’campaign nationwide, and that letters to Santa could be read online by people across the country.Some things aren’t changing: much as it had over the past 108 years, the Postal Service said that it was inviting American children to write letters and to mail them to the North Pole, using a special address and ZIP code.This year, however, the letters will be uploaded to the Operation Santa website, so long as they are clear to be read and make specific requests for items like toys, clothes or games. Postal customers can then read them and choose to send gifts with their responses, with a signature saying it’s from Santa.“Covid -19 has caused hardships, both financially and emotionally, to so many Americans this year,” a spokeswoman for the Postal Service said in an email. “The program provides kids and families with an opportunity to receive gifts during the holidays from anonymous, generous postal customers.’’What does the underlined word “raging ”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?Spreading quickly B. Reducing brieflyC. Performing well D. Existing narrowinglyWhich is true according to the USA Postal Service?The “Operation Santa” campaign is online held every year.All Americans can read the letters to Santa Claus.It is a tradition for American kids to be invited to write letters to Santa Claus.Only famous postal customers send gifts to American kids and families.What will finally happen to the letters by American children?They can only be read online.They will be signed by Santa Claus.They will reach Santa Claus in the North Pole.They will be delivered with a unique address and ZIP code.Where can the passage come from?A medical magazine B . A news sectionC. A science book D. A health guideCBreakdancing is close to becoming an Olympic sport after the organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics announced that they will propose four additional sports, including newcomer breakdancing and the other three sports — surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing — to the Games in 2024.“Breakdancing is a fantastic opportunity to be really in line with the story that Paris 2024 wants to tell. We want those Games in connection with creativity, connected with the youth, more urban, more out of the stadiums. We look forward to working with breakdancing to propose a new experience.” Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet told the media.Breakdancing is a sport played anytime and anywhere in urban and other environments. It has no previous appearance at the Summer Olympic Games, but was included at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018.“Right from the beginning, our aim was to offer Games that would have an effect and the element of surprise. This is why we have chosen to present the IOC (International Olympic Committee) with four sports that are as creative, attracting the youth and completely in line with our vision(愿景，展望). We are sure that breakdancing, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing will contribute to strengthening our project,” Estanguet added.The organizers try to follow three key rules in hosting the Games: sustainable and socially- responsible Games in accordance with the IOC’s New Norm; Games in keeping with the times and inspiring new audiences and attracting young people; Games reflecting the identity(特征) of Paris 2024, which is brilliant, culturally relevant, engaging, accessible and inclusive.Under the new IOC rules, Olympic host cities can select sports and propose them for inclusion in those Games if they are popular in that country and add to the Games’ appeal. The inclusion still needs to be rubber-stamped by the IOC which is expected to make the final decision after the Tokyo Olympics.What can be inferred about breakdancing according to the passage?It is very popular in France.It first appeared at the 2018 Olympics.It is attractive to most of the Olympic host cities.It has been decided to be included in 2024 Paris Olympics.What advantage does breakdancing have?It is easy to learn.It costs nothing to prepare.The audience do not need to pay to watch.The players do not need professional equipment.What does the last but one paragraph mainly talk about?Reasons for proposing new gamesRules of holding the gamesWays of improving the gamesCharacteristics of new gamesWhy do the organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics propose four additional sports?To attract more tourists to ParisTo further spread the Olympic spiritsTo show the uniqueness of the 2024 OlympicsTo show the great power of the countryDObesity should be defined by a person's health - not just their weight, says a new Canadian clinical guideline. It also advises doctors to go beyond simply recommending diet and exercise. Instead, they should focus on the root causes of weight gain and take a holistic（整体的）approach to health. Ximena Ramos-Salas, the director of research and policy at Obesity Canada and one of the guideline's authors, said research shows many doctors discriminate(歧视) against obese patients, and that can lead to worse health outcomes regardless of their weight."Weight bias(偏见)is not just about believing the wrong thing about obesity," she told the BBC. "Weight bias actually hasan effect on the behaviour of healthcare doctors."Although the latest advice still recommends using diagnostic（诊断的）criteria like the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, it admits their clinical limitations and says doctors should focus more on how weight affects a person's health. Small reductions in weight, of about 3-5%, can lead to health improvements and an obese person's "best weight" might not be their "ideal weight" according to BMI, the guideline says.It emphasizes that obesity is a complex, chronic condition that needs lifelong management."For a long time we've associated obesity as a lifestyle behaviour. It's been a lot of shame and blame before," Ms Ramos-Salas says."People living with obesity need support like people living with any other chronic diseases."But instead of simply advising patients to "eat less, move more", the guideline encourages doctors to provide supports along the lines of psychological therapy（治疗）, medication and bariatric surgery like gastric-bypass surgery(胃分流手术).The guideline doesn't completely give up standard weight-loss advice. "All individuals,regardless of body size or composition, would benefit from adopting a healthy, well-balanced eating pattern and engaging in regular physical activity," it says.Which is true according to the passage?Obesity is completely caused by a wrong lifestyle.Obesity patients can be improved by reducing their weight.All doctors should concentrate more on the patients’ weight.Diets don’t work for obesity patients at all in a short time. 33.What does Ximena Ramos-Salas support according to Paragraph 2?A.Discrimination against obese patients badly exist among doctors. B.Many doctors don’t like patients whatever illnesses they suffer.C.Obese patients are often misunderstood by healthcare doctors .D.More and more patients become fat because of discrimination from doctors.How can people keep healthy according to the guideline?By eating only vegetables and no meatBy working out as much as they canBy going on a diet as often as possibleBy developing a balanced eating habit and exercising regularly 35.What can be the best title of this passage ?The Secret to Reduce WeightDiscrimination against Obese PatientsA New Angle of Viewpoint on ObesityThe Root Causes of Weight Gain第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。5 Birthday Traditions from Around the WorldThe Western idea of celebrating a birthday with cake and candles has certainly caught on in other parts of the world, but many cultures have long-standing traditional ways to celebrate that don’t involve a sugar rush.36. Many of them are more traditional and unbelievable than a reality, but if you happen to be in Germany and see a group of men with a broom on the steps of city hall, you’ll at least know what they’re doing.Canada: Nose GreaseOn the Atlantic side of Canada, birthday boys and girls are sometimes “attacked” and their noses are greased(涂抹), usually with butter, to ward off bad luck. 37 . It was good luck as much as torture（折磨） as I remember it.” We would imagine so!China: Long Noodles for LongevityChinese birthday tradition maintains that one should symbolize their longevity by eating a plate of long noodles often mixed with fried eggs. 38. Germany: 39. When single men in Germany turn 30, an old tradition is for them to sweep the steps of their local city hall as their friends toss rubble onto them. The ordeal, meant to embarrass, is supposed to carry on until the birthday boy is able to plant one on a passing woman. Also, as this author personally found out recently, you buy the drinks for your friends on your birthday, unlike in the States where it is the other way around.Ireland: Hit the DeckThink the Irish had a few when coming up with this one? Tradition mainta ins that a child is held upside down and is “bumped”(举放) on the floor, once for every year of their age plus one for good luck. 40. Jamaica: Modern Day AntiquingJust like that one friend you had in college, Jamaicans think pouring flour onto their friends is fun. Regardless of age, tradition calls for the birthday boy or girl to be “antiqued,” or covered with flour, by friends and family, either at an organized party or as part of a surprise.Giving the City Hall a thorough cleaningSweeping the Streets of the City HallIt is believed that in Pictou “the butter got worse as you got older.Everyone present hopes to become lucky by sharing the noodles.It is really dangerous for a child to be lifted in such a way.We’re guessing lawyers would have something to say about this in the United States!Obviously, the practices found in the list below are not entirely representative of the preferences of every household or individual.第三部分语言运用（共两节, 满分 30 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Once there was a scientist.

The next morning, he discovered that the car’s window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future:His backpack and computer were gone.“Everything important to me was on that computer,” said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic(护理人员). “My classwork, every paper I’d written, and all the programs I needed for my paramedic tests. Every letter I was working on for job applications. I felt sick.”Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei, 29, is an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only $200. Almazrouei, who had been in the United States for only a year, admits now that he was naive(天真). But he needed a computer, so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.“I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,” he said. “I realized it could be stolen.” Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner’s cellphone number and called it.“This guy with a thick accent told me he had my computer,” Fortune said. “He told me the story and said it was his fault. I thought it was a scam(骗局). I told him if he really had the computer, he should take it to the police.”Soon after, a police officer called Fortune to say that a man had dropped the computer off and had said he was sorry. He passed along the man’s number.注意:所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;请按格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200, the money he was out.A story about the two young men’s encounter(邂逅) made it to the local papers. 2020下期末考试高一英语参考答案听力：CBCAC BACAC BAABC BBACA阅读 ACB ACDB ADBC BADC 七选五 GCDBF 完形 BCABD CBACD CAABD 语法填空 56. was posted 57.encouraging 58. easily 59. an 60. which 61.to be 62.himself 63. playing 64. improvement 65. Or书面表达一（略）书面表达二参考答案 Paragraph 1 Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200, the money he was out. Almazrouei refused. He said it was his mistake to buy the computer from someone he didn’t know and he was the one to shoulder the responsibility. More importantly, he said, it was his honor to return the property to the rightful owner. “I saw a photo of this man in his paramedic uniform,” Almazrouei said. “They help people. He is a good man. I don’t want my money back.”Paragraph 2  A story about the two young men’s encounter made it to the local papers.Overnight, Almazrouei became a household name and received numerous compliments for his honesty and kindness. One day he got a call from the president of Portland State University, where Almazrouei is studying economics. Impressed with his student’s integrity, the president gave Almazrouei a new MacBook Pro. “We thought since you gave back the laptop, we should give you a laptop so that you’ll have one,” He told Almazrouei. “We’re very proud of you. It was a great story, and you did the right thing.”
