Note Taking
Note taking as an accommodation is available only to students who have
documented disabilities and are registered with Queen's Student Accessibility
Services (QSAS)．Note taking is approved for students with disabilityrelated
functional limitations that make it difficult for them to access academic information
presented in class.
There is a wide range of reasons why students may require note taking as an
accommodation，including students with：
·hearing loss，who may have difficulty hearing the instructor while writing
notes at the same time
·vision loss，who may have difficulty seeing information presented on overhead
screens
·mental health conditions or attentionrelated disabilities，who may have
difficulty attending to orallypresented information while taking notes
·learning disabilities，who may have difficulty recording notes when information
is presented orally
·physical disabilities，who may have painrelated difficulties
Accessibility advisers consider a student's description of their need for note
taking along with information contained in their disability documentation and the
type of course in approving note taking as a formal accommodation.
Online Note Taking Portal
QSAS is in charge of the exchange of notes taken by student volunteer note
takers and students registered with QSAS via our secure online note taking portal.
The pages in this section provide information for students with disabilities，
volunteer note takers and instructors on requesting note taking，signing up to be
a volunteer note taker and assisting QSAS in recruiting volunteer note takers.

B
(2020·长沙市统一模拟)“Pay it forward” is a new saying which means
donating money or performing good deeds without hoping for recognition.As far
as the receiver of the money，gift，or good deed is concerned，he or she is told
only to do something good for someone else.
When Scott，a homeless man，spent his last $15，he wasn't looking at it as
an investment，but it's about to pay him huge profits.After he helped a woman
who ran out of gas，she returned the favor by raising a lot more on the Internet.
Emily McClure，26，was driving home when she ran out of gas halfway.“He
saw me pull over and knew something was wrong，” she wrote.“He told me to
get back in the car and lock the doors.A few minutes later，he came back with
a red gas can，using his last 15 dollars to make sure I could get home safely.”
She couldn't repay him at that time because she had no cash with her.“I
have been stopping by his spot for the past few weeks.I repaid him for the gas
and gave him some clothes.”
Emily decided to do more for him，so she started a crowdfunding(众筹)
campaign on GoFundMe，and it quickly gained far beyond its initial $10，000
goal.When it reached $100，000，the fundraising page was shut down for a time
at Scott's request.He didn't want people to think he was taking advantage of the
situation.Finally，Emily said that she restarted it because the public interest had
not decreased.She also added that Scott planned to donate the rest to a good cause.
According to The Washington Times，Scott wants to get a job at a warehouse
and a department manager from a company has already reached out to Scott.
【语篇解读】 无家可归的斯科特用自己最后的 15 美元帮助了在中途车没
油的艾米丽；为回报他，艾米丽在网络上发起众筹，然而斯科特却把筹集来的多
余的钱捐赠给了慈善机构，他以这种方式奉献社会，社会最终以一份不错的工作
回报了他。

A．People had no more interest in donation.
B．Emily was too busy to make efforts for it.
C．Scott was unwilling to be considered greedy.
D．The goal to raise $10，000 had been achieved.

被认为是贪婪的，故 C 项正确。]

买了一罐汽油以确保她能安全回家；他还计划把筹集来的多余的钱捐给一个做好
事的组织，由此可推知，他关心他人而且能够给予他人帮助，故 B 项正确。]

C．One man's meat is another man's poison.

C
(2020·河北省名校联考)In many walks of life and in many situations，
persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success.Researchers
have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting
results which are surely helpful to us.
One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on
a TV shopping channel via phone sales.Instead of being instructed “Operators are
waiting，please call now”，viewers were told “If operators are busy，please call
again”．The results were extraordinary.The ad suggested operators weren't sitting
around hoping people would call.Instead there were so many people wanting the
product that people might have to wait until they could get it.
What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something?
One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice.A particular supermarket
displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam.The large display attracted more
interest than the small one.But when the time came to purchase things，people
who saw the large display were one tenth as likely to buy.If they do buy，
they are less content with their selection，even though they have made a good
choice.A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to
unreasonably high expectations.
Another aspect of persuasion concerns getting someone to change their
minds.It's hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong，and as
people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds.People want
things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes，statements，values and actions
to follow a set pattern.The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledge
this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable
one.This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous
decision is wrong.As a result，they may be persuaded to break out of their established
pattern.
【语篇解读】 说服别人对取得成功至关重要，作者在文中介绍了在实际生
活中说服别人的不同方式，以展示应该如何做说服工作。
6/8
8．What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product?
A．It's in demand. B．It's rare.
C．It's for sale. D．It's precious.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段的“The ad suggested operators weren't sitting
around hoping people would call.Instead there were so many people wanting the
product that people might have to wait until they could get it.”可知，告知观
众“如果接线员正忙，请再呼叫”，而不是“接线员正在等待，请现在呼叫”是
一种说服策略。接线员正忙，说明订购的人多，暗示产品受到大家的认可，很抢
手，故选 A。in demand “需求大”。]
9．What does the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 show?
A．More selections bring more actions.
B．Increased choice decreases satisfaction.
C．More and more people don't want to choose.
D．Some choices are more attractive than others.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段的“If they do buy，they are less content with
their selection，even though they have made a good choice.A wider range of choices
require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations”可知，
选择的范围变大，会增加人们对自己的决定的不满，因为更多的选择需要投入更
多的时间和更大的努力，人们也会产生过高的期望，由此可知本题选 B。]
10．What does the underlined word“unwavering” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Reliable. B．Demanding.
C．Unique. D．Consistent.
D [词义猜测题。画线词前面谈到“随着年龄的增长，人们越来越不愿意
改变自己的想法”，该词后面谈到“人们希望自己的态度、言论、价值观和行动
都遵循既定的模式”。由此推知画线词所在句应表示人们希望事情(观点、决定
等)始终如一，故画线词与 consistent “一致的，始终如一的”意义相近。
reliable“可靠的”；demanding “要求高的”；unique“独特的”。]
11．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To compare different forms of persuasion.
B．To discuss various studies on persuasion.
7/8
C．To teach how to get better at persuasion.
D．To analyze how persuasion affects success.
C [写作目的题。根据第一段内容可知，说服影响着人们的成功，研究人
员研究了说服的不同方面，得出了一些有趣的结果，这些结果会对我们有帮助。
下文作者介绍了三个方面的说服案例和说服策略，其目的很明显：教人们如何更
好地说服别人做某事。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2020·合肥市调研性检测)An acquaintance has something in common with
you and merely enjoys your company for a short time.A fairweather friend
flatters(讨好) you when the sun is shining and the birds are singing. 1 They
would never do the following things.
Walk away when times get tough.True friendship is all about how a person
helps another person when they are down and can give very little in return.Thus，
take note of who remains in your life when times get tough.Seriously，when you
get into a difficult period in your life，look around you. 2
Hold hatred(憎恨) over your head.Some people will refuse to accept that you
are no longer who you used to be － that you made mistakes in the past，learned
from them，and moved beyond them. 3 Instead，they help you repair your
present and future.
Pretend like they have all the answers.You may think about the people who
have had the greatest positive effect on your life － the ones who truly made a
difference. 4 True friends are the ones who sit silently with you when you need
a moment to think.They'd always lend you a shoulder when you need to cry.
5 You deserve to be with friends who make you smile － friends who
don't take you for granted.When you notice that a friend is always taking advantage
of you instead of offering help when you need，you might need to distance yourself
from them for a while.A true friend should want to give，but they shouldn't be
forced to always give more than they get.
A．Let you down.
B．Take from you without giving back.
8/8
C．The people still standing beside you are your true friends.
D．True friends never hold the unchangeable past against you.
E．True friends love and appreciate each other just the way they are.
F．A true friend，on the other hand，has your very best interests at heart.
G．However，you'll soon realize that they aren't the ones that tried to solve
all your problems.
【语篇解读】 泛泛之交仅会陪伴你简短的时间，不能共患难的朋友仅在形
势好的时候讨好你，只有真正的朋友会与你同甘共苦。他们在你经历困难时总是
站在你身旁，绝不抓住你的过去不放，愿意为你付出。
1．F [根据上文可知，泛泛之交与你有共同点，仅会短时间陪伴你；同甘
不共苦的朋友会在情况良好时讨好你；根据空后一句可知，他们绝不会做如下的
事情(即下文中的不与你同患难等)。据此可推知，空处表述的内容与上文陈述的
泛泛之交和同甘不共苦的朋友的行为作对比，陈述真正的朋友的行为，故 F 项正
确。]
2．C [通读该段可知，真正的朋友不会在你困难时离开；由空前一句可知，
当你处于困难时期时，要看看周围的人；据此可推知，在困难时期仍然站在你身
边的人才是你真正的朋友。C 项与此处匹配。]
3．D [根据空后一句可知，相反，他们帮助你补救当前和未来；据此可知，
空处应是陈述真正的朋友的行为，即真正的朋友从来不会抓住你不可改变的过去
不放；故 D 项正确。]
4．G [根据该段前两句可知，真正的朋友绝不装作什么都知道；根据空后
一句可知，真正的朋友是当你需要片刻时间思考时默默地坐在你身边的人。据此
可推知，G 项“然而，你将很快意识到他们不是试图解决你所有问题的人”符合
语境，衔接上下文。]
5．B [根据文章结构和空处所在位置可知，空处为该段的主题句；根据上
文每段第一句可知，该处应为祈使句；根据该段尾句可知，真正的朋友会想去付
出。据此可知，该段主要陈述真正的朋友不是从你那里一味地索取，故 B 项正
确。]
