I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.
I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o￡ colors — first in the ￡all trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch ( My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.）
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?
24．What does the underlined word “snowbird” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．A person spending winter in a warmer climate. B．A bird seen chiefly in winter.
C．A person permanently living in a foreign country.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, \a party? If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about \subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around.
If you're talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they'll seem to get bored and not say much or they'll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It’s just that they don't like small talk. Here's why.
Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don't need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they’ll mull over different thoughts.
Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, they’ll
be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.
The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening \to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.
28．How do introverts respond to a chat? A．They try to avoid it. B．They get excited about it. C．They give it their full attention. D．They focus on unimportant topics. 29．What do we know about small talk? A．It goes slowly.
B．It costs people a lot of time. C．It contributes to deeper topics. D．It makes no sense.
30．What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Give up. B．Think over. C．Write down.
D．Forget about.
31．How can we become a good talker in small conversations? A．Figure out the deep meaning of questions. B．Think twice before answering questions. C．Try to find shared topics. D．Be a quiet listener.
D
Britain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution, Bank of England’s chief economist warned.
Andy Haldane said the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things. The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy (会
高考模拟试卷
计) among those at risk.
A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain had been lost over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps though workplaces.
The majority of these are in jobs in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.
Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the fourth industrial revolution. The first was the shift from agricultural to urban societies, the second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.
Mr. Haldane said the hollowing-out (空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future so it is important to learn the lessons of history and ensure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.
“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, there was a hollowing-out of the jobs market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living,” Haldane added, “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”
“That hollowing-out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans.” Mr Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.
32．What is the dark side mentioned in the text? A．The hollowing-out has become a major social problem. B．Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy. C．Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.
D．The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.
33．Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution? A．The study about economy is at a low level. B．Economists work on a traditional professional job. C．There is no machine that can work as an economist.
D．Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.
34．What should be done to deal with the serious situation? A．To call for people to devote more to studying history.
B．To teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about. C．To warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.
D．To ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent computers and robots do. 35．What attitude did Haldane have towards the future employment? A．Positive. B．Aggressive. C．Critical. D．Worried.
