Working from a shady balcony overlooking a vast sea, with five-star restaurants and golf courses within easy

reach: what better place could there be to while away the pandemic (疫情) than Barbados?

Like most of its Caribbean neighbours, Barbados has been good at keeping COVID-19 out. Normally tourism

brings in more than half of its foreign earnings. Now, many tourists are banned and the economy is declining. The

tourism minister, Kerrie Symmonds, puts unemployment at close to 40%.

The prime minister, Mia Mottley intends to introduce a “Welcome Stamp” for visitors to “work remotely in

paradise” for up to a year. The idea is that if holidays are not possible, then maybe the island can attract wealthy

office workers who no longer have to go to the office. Other Caribbean islands are considering competing plans;

Bermuda has announced one.

It did not take a pandemic for some digital workers to consider moving to a beach. But before now, it was

legally difficult. Getting a work permit or immigrant status meant weeks or months of form-filling. Workers had to

pay Barbadian income taxes. The new procedure looks quick and easy by comparison. For a fee of $2,000 for one

person, or $3,000 for a family, you can take your Zoom calls from a real white sandy beach, instead of merely

selecting it as a virtual background. You continue paying tax according to the rules of whichever country you came

from.

There will be some checks on new arrivals. We do not want “the scum of the earth, but honest and respectable

types”, says Mr Symmonds. Applicants must have health insurance, and the main breadwinner must earn at least

$50,000. But otherwise the gates are open. “All must breathe, in this world and in this country.” says Ms. Mottley.

4. The project “Welcome Stamp” is intended to ________.

A. help the economy recover B. create jobs for visitors

C. keep COVID-19 out D. compete against other islands

5. What is needed to apply for Welcome Stamp?

A. Spending weeks to get work permit or immigrant status.

B. Paying a certain amount of Barbadian income taxes.

C. Paying $2,000 per person, or $3,000 per family.

D. Earning at least $50,000 per family member

6. What can we learn from the text?

A. Barbados is the first to put forward the plan.

B. All healthy and wealthy people are welcome.

C. Increasing unemployment leads to an economic decline.

D. It used to be difficult for digital workers to move to Barbados.

7. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Barbados provides a paradise to work remotely.

B. The Caribbean islands are fighting against the pandemic.

C. Office workers choose to work from the beach.

D. Working abroad becomes easier than before.

【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在疫情导致经济下滑的情况下，为了实现经济复苏，巴巴多斯实施了

“欢迎邮票”项目。并介绍了这个项目的内容和申请条件。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Now, many tourists are banned and the economy is declining.”可知，由于

疫情影响，许多游客被禁止到来，导致经济下滑。再根据第三段关键句“ The prime minister, Mia Mottley

intends to introduce a “Welcome Stamp” for visitors to “work remotely in paradise” for up to a year.”可知“欢迎

邮票”是提供游客在“天堂远程工作”长达一年的时间。由此可推断出“欢迎邮票”项目的主要目的是为

了吸引游客到这里，游客的到来会促进经济的发展，也就是说，“欢迎邮票”项目旨在帮助经济复苏。故

选A项。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“The new procedure looks quick and easy by comparison. For a fee of $2,000

for one person, or $3,000 for a family, you can take your Zoom calls from a real white sandy beach, instead of

merely selecting it as a virtual background.”可知，一个人付 2000 美元，一家人付 3000 美元，你就可以在一

个真正的白色的沙滩上打电话。由此可推断出，申请“欢迎邮票”需要的是一个人付 2000 美元的费用，一

家人付 3000 美元的费用。故选 C项。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“It did not take a pandemic for some digital workers to consider moving to a

beach. But before now, it was legally difficult.”可知，对于一些数码工作者来说，考虑搬到巴巴多斯的海滩

去并没有引起大流行。但在此之前，这在法律上很困难。由此可推断出，过去数码工作者很难搬到巴巴多

斯。故选 D项。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了巴巴多斯的“欢迎邮票”项目。根据第三段关键句“ The prime minister, Mia

Mottley intends to introduce a “Welcome Stamp” for visitors to “work remotely in paradise” for up to a year. ”可

知“欢迎邮票”是提供游客在“天堂远程工作”长达一年的时间。由此可推断出，文章主要讲述的是巴巴

多斯提供了远程工作的天堂，这里的天堂指的是巴巴多斯像天堂一样美的海滩和风景。故选 A项。

（2）2021 届广东省六校第一次联考之 A篇

The Best and Worst Things to Buy in March

Frozen food

Grocery store ads aren't the only places to find deals on freezer-section treats. To take advantage of the deepest

discounts, combine coupons (优惠券) from sponsoring brands, such as Dole, Green Giant and Tyson Foods, with

grocery store sales. Plus, look for printable savings on Coupons. com and EasyHoreMeals.com. Brands

participating in National Frozen Food Month will offer more than 180, 000 coupons that make frozen food among

the best things to buy in March.

Boxed chocolates

If you desire to give a gift to a friend in March, consider chocolate. Two minor holidays in March provide the

perfect excuse: National Chocolate Caramel Day on March 19 and National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day on

March 24. You can discover chocolate deals online as well as in stores. Head to sites like RetailMeNot.com to find

discount coupons for boxed chocolate savings of 10 percent or more.

New cars

With the latest car models filling dealers' lots, you'll have a hard time finding discounted models from the year

before. Car dealerships are less motivated to offer steep discounts from March through May. Instead, plan to buy

your car during the fall or winter. You should also research the auto you want at TrueCar before heading for the

dealership. The site offers information on how much the previous buyers paid for the vehicles you want.

Spring clothing

When warm weather makes you want to head outdoors, resist the urge to do so wearing the latest fashions.

You won't find March deals on swimsuits, Easter dresses or other spring items. To find discounts on clothes of this

spring, hold off until Memorial Day weekend. You can also look for online and in-store savings at Amazon, Macy's,

Saks Fifth Avenue and other retailers.

1. Which things offer discounts in March?

A. Frozen food and new cars.

B. Boxed chocolates and new cars.

C. Frozen food and boxed chocolates.

D. Boxed chocolates and spring clothing.
