From the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2020, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81%, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy.But as any miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam, the more difficult it is to get value. Chinas coal prices have fallen nearly 10% in the last three months. A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical（周期性的）slowdown brought about by Chinas slowing construction and money tightening, is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices.In 2020, Chinas 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences from a section with 9,000-plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production. Since then, the big have gotten bigger and the small are disappearing. Michael Parker, coal mining analyst at Sanford Bernstein, estimates in 2020 the top 60 miners will account for 80% of output.The assumption has always been that its the very low-cost little mining operations that will go to the wall, pushing prices up. In fact, Mr. Parker argues that its small industrial operations working difficult seams, and with poor access to convey that will be the first to go. The exit of these high-cost means that spot prices will increasingly be set by bigger more efficient producers and that means pressure for prices to stay low.With structural forces against a return to rising coal prices, investors in Chinas black gold should dig a huge stone hit their foot into a hole.1.

Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if its given from the heart. When people are talking，theres no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us dont value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “Im so sorry” ，when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen，they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.1What does the author value most in the communication with each other?ADeep understanding.BSaying “Im sorry”CAttention from heart.DDoing nothing.2The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.Ashe didnt get enough respect from othersBshe was discouraged by being often interruptedCpeople often told her their own opinionsDpeople couldnt understand her sad situation3If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may_.Ahurt his feelingsBmake him embarrassedCencourage him to continue to cryDstop him from letting out his sorrow4It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，_.Alistening is a perfect way to respond to othersBpeople keep silent because they dont know the answerCkeeping silent means being too shy to speakDit is easy to form the habit of listening silently解题导语全身心地聆听别人倾诉是帮助别人排解忧伤的最好方式。1解析：选C。细节理解题。从第一段第三、四句可知答案为C。2解析：选B。细节理解题。从第二段前三句的内容可知这位女病人之所以不再向别人倾诉是因为她总是被打断，故选B项。3解析：选D。细节理解题。从第三段第二句中的until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness可知选D。4解析：选A。推理判断题。通读全文可推知A项正确。【2020年沈阳市高中三年级教学质量监测（一）】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。CIn 2020 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates,which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtlesand the worlds most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物)pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2020 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife;raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.Get involved and rememberWorld Wildlife Day(March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that nowis the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.1. How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.B. Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.C. The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.3. What can we know about the plan released by the US?A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B. Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C. The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.D. More and more people are advised to increase their needs of pangolins.4. What is the authors intention of writing the passage?A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.参考答案14、CDCB【2020年沈阳市高中三年级教学质量监测（一）】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。DWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I dont think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.Theres no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each others lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You dont get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldnt you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you arent showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid gro
