AFor the business traveler whos all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble.When youre pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can annoy you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. Marriott Detroit AirportAnother option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Ive tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk(自助终端) check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line. Radisson LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. Its super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.21. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A. Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.B. Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York.C. Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.22. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?A. Yotel New York.B. Marriott Detroit Airport.C. Radisson LaCrosse.D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.23. What is the best title for the passage?A. Fast Ways To Check Out B. Three Hotels With Easy CheckoutC. Comfortable Hotels At Your ServiceD. Hotels For The TravelersBWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? Therere diseases like AIDS and cancer. Theres climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the worlds growing population? Whos going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But whos going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change? Its going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems. If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesnt mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrows scientists. Dont think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order to improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.24. Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to_.A. suggest they are impossible to be solvedB. introduce the causes of these problemsC. show the writers worry about the future worldD. show scientists play an important part in solving them25. What is needed to solve these problems?_.A. Advanced weaponsB. Enough energyC. New technologiesD. A growing population26.

Owing to military technologies, there has been no warsB. For those interested in cooking, food technologies may be a choiceC. Forensic scientists play an important part in dealing with crimesD. Most top athletes can achieve greater achievement with the help of sports scientistsCMark was a great kid from a tough neighborhood. Crime, drugs, fighting and poverty: You name the problem and his neighborhood had it. A scholarship fund provided his tuition to Catholic High, where he was a great baseball player.Mark struggled in the classroom, though. He was bright, just behind, due to a more than difficult home environment. But there were problems finding the time for all he needed to do. After-school tutoring seemed impossible because of baseball practice. Some suggested Mark abandon sports and concentrate on “schooling”. But, in reality, if he was going to attend college, he would need his sports; so to miss practice and then perform any less than at his best on the field was not wise.A fellow teacher, Mrs. Jones, offered to tutor Mark in math at her home. I asked Mark to come to my house for other areas of work. No one paid us. Mrs. Jones summed it up this way: “Pay day doesnt always come on Mondays”.When we were not working with Mark to improve his skills for the ACT, the coach and Marks dad took him to various colleges to talk with both baseball and football program coaches. He settled on the college that offered him scholarships to play both sports. But he needed a good ACT score.It takes months to receive the results of college entrance exams. One afternoon after school, while I was grading papers in my room, there was a noise outside the door.Mark came in, lifted me out of the seat behind my desk, spun me around in the air, and yelled over and over: “Im going to college! Im going to college!”“I guess you got your scores!” I asked.“Well, yeah!” he laughed. “And guess what? I got one point more than I need to be admitted. One point extra. Thank you! Now, wheres Mrs. Jones? Ive got to tell her too!”Until that moment, I had never quite understood what the expression “Pay day doesnt always come on Mondays” meant. But it was clear to me the instant Mark ran into the room to announce his news. No amount of money could ever replace my spin in the air at the hands of a boy who finally had a chance at a better life.28. Mark had difficulty in learning mainly because _.A. he spent most of his spare time practicing baseball.B. his family couldnt afford any tutoring for him.C. his parent didnt care about his study.D. he was constantly involved in the crimes in his neighborhood.29. According to the article, which of the following is false?A. The teachers offered to tutor Mark free of charge.B. Theft was a problem in Marks neighborhood.C. Mark owed his success in passing ACT to his teachers.D. Mark went to college mainly due to his good ACT score.30. The underlined word “settled on” in the fourth paragraph probably means _.A. was accepted byB. reached a final decision aboutC. paid a visit toD. became familiar with31. What is the best title for this passage?A. Practice Makes a Better Life.B. Pay Day Will Come Some Day.C. Relationships between Teachers and Students.D. Never Give up on Yourself.DYou probably know the famous inventors Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells, but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who invented what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. ”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”Lee is currently trying to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped inside a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she wondered why there couldnt be a built-in tool for cleaning the window. When she returned home, Anderson started the experiment and finally made the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions; Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?32.By mentioning “traffic light “and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are_. A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous 33. Professor Joan McLeans course aims to_. A. add color and variety to students campus life B. inform students of the windshield wipers invention C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University D. prepare students to try their own invention 34. Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _. A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm D. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures 35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers? B. How to Design a Built-in Tool for Cleaning the Window? C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities? 第二节 七选五部分（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Get a Healthy HomeMost of us have spent more time at home in 2020 than we ever imagined possible.36 These tips can help make your home better for your body and mind.Take off your shoes at your door.
