[2024·遼寧沈陽(yáng)質(zhì)檢一]Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button.
The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.
Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity.
Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步機(jī)) and bicycle desks.
The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2024, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the users to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions， owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences and suggest the best seating position.
The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working days. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.
“Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market，” said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir Kinect.
站立式辦公桌對(duì)人們的健康有益，但是它的價(jià)格高昂。最近，宜家公司推出了一種價(jià)格相對(duì)便宜的可調(diào)節(jié)高度的站立式辦公桌。
1．What is the text mainly about?
A．Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.
B．Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.
C．Google formed its tech firms to design bicycle desks.
D．The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.
答案：A 考查主旨大意。本文主要講述的是，Ikea(宜家公司)最近推出了一種價(jià)格相對(duì)便宜而且可調(diào)節(jié)高度的站立式辦公桌，故A項(xiàng)正確。
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Before Bekant desk,
similar adjustable desks have been widely used.
B．The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.
C．Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.
D．The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and the Walt Disney Company.
答案：C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段可知，the Stir Kinect desk的價(jià)格是$3,890；根據(jù)第一段可知，the Bekant desk的價(jià)格是$500。由此可知，選C項(xiàng)。
3．The Stir Kinect desk ________.
A．can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once
B．can charge phones by using a device containing a power point
C．can tell you how many calories you need for a walk
D．can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time
答案：B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones”可知，the Stir Kinect desk上面有電源插座和USB端口，可以給手機(jī)充電，故B項(xiàng)正確。
4．What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP
Labrosse?
A．Ikea's adjustable desks will be popular with average people.
B．Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.
C．This height-adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.
D．It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.
答案：A 考查推理判斷。最后一段JP Labrosse所講的話的意思是：宜家公司所推出的可調(diào)節(jié)高度的辦公桌能很好地打開低端市場(chǎng)。由此可推斷，宜家公司的可調(diào)節(jié)高度的辦公桌將會(huì)受到普通人的歡迎，故A項(xiàng)正確。
1．benefit n．/vt. 好處；使受益 2.transform vt. 轉(zhuǎn)換
3．standard adj./n. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的；標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
4．position n. 位置；姿態(tài)；職位
5．preference n. 偏好；優(yōu)先權(quán)
1．due to 由于；因?yàn)?/p>
2.fail to do 未能；沒(méi)有做
3．take a breath 喘口氣；吸一口氣
原文：Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet.(分詞作狀語(yǔ))
譯文：站立式辦公桌已經(jīng)在硅谷非常普遍，為那些愿意站著工作的人們的健康帶來(lái)好處。
仿寫：Faced_with_this_problem,_we can find a proper time to have a talk with them, trying_to_get_rid_of_the_misunderstanding.
面對(duì)這樣的問(wèn)題，我們得找個(gè)合適的時(shí)間與他們談一談，盡力排除誤解。

[2024·河北唐山統(tǒng)考一]Some of the most painful moments I spend as a vet (獸醫(yī)) are those spent with my customers assisting my animal patients from this world to the next. Making this final decision is not easy, and I have often felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners.
That was before I met Shane.
I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had developed a serious health problem. The dog's owners—Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane—were hoping for a miracle (奇跡). But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia (安樂(lè)死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.
Shane seemed so calm, patting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
A few minutes later, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a little while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up: “I know why.”
Shocked, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next astonished me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, “Everybody can learn how to live a good life， like loving everybody and being nice, right？” The four-year-old continued, “Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay so long.”
作者對(duì)名叫Belker的狗進(jìn)行了安樂(lè)死。此時(shí)，作者和狗的主人都很悲痛。然而一個(gè)四歲的孩子對(duì)生命的獨(dú)特見(jiàn)解讓作者感到吃驚并深感安慰。
5．Shane's parents wanted Shane to witness the euthanasia mainly because ________.
A．they knew he hated to part with Belker
B．they hoped he could gain something from it
C．they wanted him to remember Belker forever
D．they intended him to learn to carry out euthanasia
答案：B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“As we made the arrangements, Ron...the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience”可知，Shane的父母讓他目睹對(duì)狗執(zhí)行安樂(lè)死的過(guò)程是因?yàn)樗麄冇X(jué)得Shane會(huì)從這次經(jīng)歷中有所收獲，故選B。
6．What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．Belker got sick mainly because of lack of care.
B．Shane didn't feel sad about Belker's death.
C．There was no hope for Belker to recover but to suffer.
D．Belker didn't want to live any longer because of the pain.
答案：C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia (安樂(lè)死) for the old dog in their home”可知，Belker已經(jīng)沒(méi)有康復(fù)的希望，只剩下痛苦，故選C。
7．We can infer from the underlined sentence that ________.
A．the vet would rather not perform the euthanasia
B．the vet was familiar with the feelings of Belker's owners
C．words failed the vet when he tried to comfort Belker's owners
D．the vet's throat was uncomfortable with Belker's owners around
答案：C 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Making this final decision...felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners”可推知，作者也常常覺(jué)得自己無(wú)力安慰悲傷的動(dòng)物的主人，即作者不知說(shuō)什么才能安慰Belker的主人。
