上海市杨浦区2022学年高三上学期期中英语试题一、用单词的适当形式完成短文1. Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Foreign Accent Syndrome(综合症)31-year-old Emily’s life changed greatly in January, when a mysterious condition left her unable to speak for two months. She 【小题1】 (complain) about headaches for two weeks before one day her colleagues then noticed that her speech had become slow and unclear, both indicators of a stroke.【小题2】 she was rushed to the hospital, Emily had lost her ability to speak completely. After running some tests, doctors ruled out the stroke, instead 【小题3】 (blame) her voice loss on some sort of brain injury.After spending three weeks in the hospital, Emily was still unable to speak and relied solely on basic sign language she had picked up at work and a text-to-speech app on her phone 【小题4】(communicate). Encouraged by her doctor, Emily went on a vacation in Thailand. A few days into the vacation, she started to speak again.How 【小题5】 (shock) it was when Emily originally noticed her Eastern European accents, but even more so when she noticed that sometimes her accent would change out of the blue, to Polish, Italian and even French. Although she doesn’t know the reason 【小题6】 may help explain her condition, she has noticed that it has something to do with how tired she is.In March of 2020, she was officially diagnosed with 【小题7】 was commonly called Foreign Accent Syndrome.“I was so excited when my voice started coming back but now I don’t even recognize the voice that comes out of my mouth, it doesn’t sound 【小题8】me,” Emily told t he reporters. Now her voice is back, but unfortunately she has to deal with discrimination(歧视) from people who think she is an immigrant, and has taken time off work because stress 【小题9】only make her condition worse.Emily’s case sounds shockingly similar to 【小题10】 of Michelle Myers, an Arizona woman who never traveled outside of the United States, but woke up to speaking in multiple accents-British, Irish and Australian- after experiencing severe headaches. She too was diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Can Food Replace Medicine?If Food is indeed medicine, then it’s time to treat it that way. In his upcoming book, Eat to Beat Diseases, Dr William Li, a heart expert, pulls together years of stored data and processes specific doses (剂量) of food that can treat diseases 【小题1】from a mild cold to cancer. Not all doctors agree that the science supports 【小题2】food like drugs, but he is hoping the idea will motivate more researchers to study food in ways as 【小题3】strict as possibleand generate stronger data in coming years. “We are far away from prescribing (开处方) diets to fight diseases,” he says. “And we may never get there. But we are looking to fill in the【小题4】that have long existed in this field with real science. This is the beginning of a better tomorrow.”And talking about food in terms of doses might push more doctors to focus on patients' grocery lists instead. So far, several hundred people who rely on the Fresh Food Program have had their risk of serious diabetes (糖尿病) complications 【小题5】by 40% and hospitalizations cut by 70% compared with other diabetic people in the area who lack 【小题6】to the program. This year, on the basis of its success so far, the Fresh Food Program is doubling the number of patients it 【小题7】.Shicowich knows firsthand how important that will be for people like him. When he was first 【小题8】, he lost weight and controlled his blood sugar, but he found those changes hard to maintain and soon saw his weight 【小题9】and his blood-sugar levels skyrocket. He has become one of the program’s better-known success stories, and now works part time in the produce section of a supermarket and cooks nearly all his meals. He’s 【小题10】his cooking skills to include fish, which he had never tried preparing before. “I know what healthy food looks like, and I know what to do with it now,” he says. “Without this program and without the support system, I will probably still be sitting on a couch with a box of biscuits.”三、完形填空Trackers on IceJust because a scientist puts a GPS tracking collar on a wild polar bear does not mean the animal will willingly keep it on. _______, these huge collars are purposefully loose so that if one becomes annoying, a bear can _______it. But scientists have now found a way to use signals from the discarded(丢弃的)devices.“These dropped collars_______would have been considered garbage data,” says Natasha Klappstein, a polar bear researcher at the University of Alberta. She and her colleagues instead used_______from such collars, left on sea ice in Canada's Hudson Bay, to track the ice itself. For their study, published in June in The Cryosphere, the researchers_______twenty collars that sent movement data consistent(与······一致的)with ice drift rather than polar bear _______between 2005 and 2015. The resulting records of how melting ice typically drifts in Hudson Bay are unique; there are no easily _______on-the-ground sensors, and satellite observations often cannot _______capture the motion of small ice sheets. The team compared the discarded collars' movements with widely used ice-drift modeling data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Collar data indicated that the NSIDC model underestimates the speed at which ice moves around in Hudson Bay--as well as the overall _______of drift. Over the course of several months the model could drift away from an ice sheet's location by a few hundred kilometers, the researchers say.This means the bears may be working harder, when moving against the direction of the ice, than scientists had ________ .“Since we're underestimating the speed of drift, we're likely underestimating the energetic effort of polar bears," says Natasha Klappstein. The research reveals________insight (洞悉) into how highly mobile ice moves. As melting increases in coming years, such ice will likely become more ________farther north, in the central Arctic. Scientists had known NSIDC data could underestimate drift speeds, but “any time we can find a data ________,it is a good thing.”Plus,such data could improve predictions about how oil spills or other pollutants mayspread in seas ________ with drifting ice, says Walt Meier, a senior NSIDC research scientist,who was not involved in the study. The findings may even ________future NSIDC models. “It's a really nice data set,” Meier says."And certainly one we’ll take consideration. （1）A.In factB.In a wayC.In additionD.In the end（2）A.destroyB.removeC.resistD.reject（3）A.particularlyB.relevantlyC.intentionallyD.potentially（4）A.estimatesB.subjectsC.measurementsD.patents（5）A.displayedB.identifiedC.justifiedD.preserved（6）A.behaviorB.habitatC.mannerD.motion（7）A.flexibleB.favorableC.accessibleD.changeable（8）A.internallyB.accuratelyC.securelyD.independently（9）A.extentB.damageC.trendD.limit（10）A.agreedB.promisedC.provedD.assumed（11）A.immediateB.superiorC.entireD.timely（12）A.evidentB.uniquemonD.realistic（13）A.gapB.scanC.boomD.fit（14）A.replacedB.litteredC.packedD.matched（15）A.reverseB.resembleC.influenceD.motivate四、阅读选择The term "bird brain" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and using tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now, Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game against twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.An analysis of the results showed that Griffin outperformed the 6 to 8-year-old across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the "bird brain" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movements, that the parrot fell behind the adults. However, Griffin's performance was never below that of the children.Griffin was the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. "The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brainpower in exchange for a few cashews（腰果）did not hurt either", said Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard lecturer, who has trained Griffin and several other African Grey parrots, has been studying the species for over four decades and is considered a pioneer in the study of bird intelligence.（1）What were the participants required to do in the study?A.Identify different kinds of objects.B.Tell where the hidden object lies.C.Track other participants' performance.D.Move around upside-down cups.（2）What did the results of the study indicate?A.6 to 8-year-old did better than Griffin.B.Parrots have a better memory than other birds.C.Harvard students have a better visual memory.D.Griffin outsmarted Harvard students in some trials.（3）Why was Griffin chosen for the experiment?A.It was good at making decisions.B.It was specially trained for experiments.C.It had similar brain functions to human beings.D.It loved to show off his language power for some treats.（4）What is the best title for the text?A."Bird brain" becomes a term for a stupid personB.Harvard lecturer pioneers in bird intelligence studyC.Parrot outsmarted Harvard students in visual memory testD.Researchers made new discoveries about human intelligence（1）Which of the following statements is TURE about 11-DAY Tour of UZBEKISTAN?A.It doesn’t cover all accommodation.B.It features small-group tour.C.Flights are booked through Wild Frontiers.D.It provides homestay with the locals.（2）All the information about the two tours is included in the advertisement EXCEPT ________.A.departure dateB.main attractionsC.priceD.flight information（3）The purpose of the advertisement is to ________.pare two options of the Silk Road adventure.B.highlight the cultural aspect of the advertised toursC.provide detailed information about the advertised toursD.promote an eco-friendly way of touring the Silk RoadIn 2013 Mr. Baugher planted 7,000 Fuji apple trees in the orchard (果园).Three years later,just when the trees should have been bearing fruit, he noticed that a few of them had yellow leaves. Within weeks they were dead. The next year, the problem spread to more than a few trees. By last year,2,000 of Mr Baugher’s 7,000 new trees were dead.Mr. Baugher has the worst case of"rapid apple decline" (RAD)in the county, but he is not alone. The mysterious disease has been troubling growers across America's northeast for at least six years. Kari Peter, a fruit-tree specialist first observed massive die-offs in her research orchard in 2013. She came up with the term"RAD". But her attempts to explain it have not produced much fruit. The usual reasons for the death of tree-mould infestation, a known virus, disease, an early frost-didn't fit symptoms. Her investigation only ruled things out.The dead trees tend to be younger: two to eight-years-old. They are nearing he prime of production. Dwarf trees, which are commonly used by commercial growers, seem to be the most subject. Historically, orchards held 600-700 apple trees an acre, but most are now high producing dwarf trees, which are more compact. Growers plant 1, 200-1, 500 trees per acre. Working with the Department of Agriculture Kan found a new hidden apple virus in the infected trees. But they cannot be sure if this new virus has any connection with the decline. Researchers at Cormell University found that severe cold followed by drought (旱灾)could have weakened the trees leaving them subject to viruses.Other scientists think that herbicides may be to blame. Dan Donahue, a fruit-tree specialist says it could be any or all of those theories. In a recent sampling, he found that 64% of young trees had hidden viruses. These do not show symptoms, but they could affect vitality. Older, larger apple trees were better at shrugging off the viruses.RAD is a big worry for the apple growers. Customer taste is changing. Traditional varieties like Red Delicious are no longer a customer favourite, so growers are having to invest in new varieties. Few of the orchard growers are able to absorb the economic losses.Mr. Baugher found some relief in the Tree Assistance Programme, through which the federal government provides financial assistance to orchard-owners whose trees are damaged by natural disasters. The sudden death of apple trees may not seem as dramatic as a hurricane, but it is perhaps even more dangerous. Americans have given considerably more before in the defense of apple pie.（1）The underlined word"compact"is closest in meaning to ________ .plexB.denseC.remoteD.regular（2）What can be learned about Kari Peter?A.It took her six years to come up with the term RAD.B.Her research led to a breakthrough in apple cultivation.C.She failed to find out the definite cause of RAD.D．She was the first scientist to research apple trees.（3）Based on the various researches, RAD may be caused by the following EXCEPT .A.extreme weatherB.a new virusC.way of tree cultivationD.location of the orchard（4）What can be inferred from the passage?A.RAD adds to the pressure on the already struggling apple growers.B.RAD doesn't qualify orchard growers for financial assistance.C.The government needs to fund more research into RAD.D．Apple growers should have stuck to traditional varieties.五、六选四Chapter 12“Let's go all", shouted the doctor standing between his two companions Joe and Kennedy. The air was pure, the wind moderate, and the balloon climbed almost upright to a height of fifteen hundred feet, as indicated by a depression of two inches in the barometric(气压的)column.（1）What a magnificent spectacle was then outspread the beneath the gate of the travelers! The island of Zanzibar could be seen in its entire extent, marked out by the deeper color upon a vast plain. The fields had the appearance of patterns of different colors, and thick champs of green indicated the short trees and grass.The inhabitants of the island looked no larger than insects. The laughing and shouting were little by little lost in the distance, and only the discharge of the ship’s guns could be heard beneath the balloon, as the latter sped on its fight.＂How fine that is! "said Joe, breaking silence for the first time.He got no reply. The doctor was busy observing the variations of the barometer and noting down the details of his ascent (上升).（2）The rays of the sun coming to the aid of the heating cylinder (气缸), the tension of the gas increased, and the balloon Victoria rose to the height of twenty-five hundred feet. The ship Resolute looked like a mere seashell, and the African coast could be distinctly seen in the west marked out by a margin of foam.（3）Dense borders of mango-trees protected its margin, and the ebb-tide (退潮)disclosed to view their thick roots, rubbed and bitten by the teeth of the Indian Ocean. The sands which, at an earlier period, formed the coast-line, rounded away along the distant horizon, and Mount Nguru reared aloft its sharp summit in the northwest.The Victoria passed near to a village which the doctor found marked upon his chart as Kaole. （4）At the same time, they were vainly directing their arrows against this monster of the air that swept along so majestically away above all their powerless anger.A.Its entire population had assembled in crowds, and were yelling with anger and fear.B.At this height a more decided current carried the balloon toward the southwest.C.The country over which we are passing will become more fertile, richer and fuller of vitality than the rest.D.It was then found to be passing just over the Mrima country, the name of this part of the eastern coast of Africa.E.Kennedy looked on, and had not eyes enough to take in all that he saw.F.Why is it that such uncivilized countries get all these fine things?六、概要写作Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Virtual FitnessExercise plays a very important role in a healthy lifestyle. But you may not have time ormoney to go to a gym on a regular basis. The good news is that today's technology lets you access fitness classes from the comfort of your home. A quick Internet search will turn up thousands of online fitness classes. You can watch videos on your phone, computer or tablet and do the exercises right where you are. All you need is an Internet connection and a space large enough to move around in.Online fitness classes take a wide variety of forms. Some focus on stretches and slow movements. Other classes involve fast aerobic activity, while others build muscle strength. Some require equipment such as weights, but others use only your body. This means that you can choose a class that does what you like. And you can try a different one whenever you like. Anyone can post a fitness video on the Internet. Not everyone knows what they are doing. So it is important to think about who is teaching the class. Try to find teachers who are certified by an organization with a good reputation. I tried some virtual fitness classes several years ago.The reason was simple: convenience. I could do a fitness class at any time of day. I didn't need to travel to a gym and back, which saved me a lot of time. But being able to work out any time meant I kept putting it off. I'd do everything else first and then the day would be over. I’d never actually get around to exercising.Having to exercise at a definite time means I have to put it on my schedule. So for me, scheduled classes such as those at a gym are helpful.Anyhow,if the gym isn't for you, you may want to give an online fitness class a try.七、汉译英他决定采用一种新的语言教学方法．（approach）________全套中国首部传统民间艺术丛书预计2022年面世。

My Hobby and Dream JobCWhen you visit a European family in winter, you’d better not take off your coat as soon as you enter the house. Because that means you will stay for a long time, which will make the host feel nervous. So you should wait until the host asks, “May I take your coat?’’If you are lucky enough to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, you should mind your manners. Even your “finest manners〞 may not be correct by French custom.For example, it is not polite to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand, because the hostess will deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that.Though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle of wine to a dinner party. Why? It’s as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand, and that’s an insult (侮辱). You may, however, offered a box of chocolate which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.Another thing you should remember: it is not polite to use the bathroom in a private house. Once heated at the table, guests must never get up and leave the table ——not to go to the bathroom, not to help the hostess in the kitchen, and not to serve or clear.( ) 41 You should n’t take off your coat on arriving at a French house, because ___________.A. the coat will make the house dirtyB. you will catch a coldC. it will make the host nervousD. it will bring bad luck to the host( ) 42.

But a new study suggests they used a little rock ‘n’ roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would havedragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated（给...上润滑油） the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea.Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’ ” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realize d. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it .He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.4．It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A．sliding them on smooth paths B．pushing them over the sandC．dragging them on some poles D．rolling them on roads5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A．Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.B．Rolling the blocks with poles attached.C．Rolling poles to move the blocks.D．Rolling the blocks with fat.6．Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A．Because more force is needed for sliding.B．Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C．Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.D．Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.7．What is the text mainly about?A．An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B．An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C．An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D．An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.CA Teenage InventorThe world could be one step closer to quick and inexpensive Ebola detection thanks to a teenager from Connecticut.Olivia Hallisey, a junior at Greenwich High School, was awarded $50,000 in the Google Science Fair for her new method that detects Ebola, a virus that causes bleeding from different partsof the body and usually causes death. Olivia’s method is to ask patients to put their saliva (唾液) onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is catching Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Oli via’s method, however, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Besides, the sample (样本) doesn’t have to be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia uses to produce the testing cards.Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa. She was particularly worried about the fact that, while the acts of involvement can improve survival rates, present detection methods are costly, time-consuming and require complex tools. Olivia got help from her science research teacher. She drew out directions from past research, and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases, including Lyme disease and yellow fever.“What affects one country affects everyone,” Olivia told CNBC．“We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.” The Connecticut’s teen, who hopes to become a doctor one day, was named the Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe. The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers. “I would just encourage girls to t ry it in the beginning, and remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC, “but just really look at something they are interested in and then think how to improve somet hing or make it more enjoyable or relate it to their interests.”8．According to the passage, present Ebola detection methods ______.A．require samples to be kept in refrigeratorsB．may detect other deadly viruses as wellC．have proven to be ineffective in practiceD．must use a large amount of samples9．What can we learn about Olivia’s method?A．Time-consuming. B．Out-of-date. C．Complex. D．Cheap.10．What does the underlined word “drawn” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？A．Attracted. B．Controlled. C．Admitted. D．Exposed.11．The Google Science Fair is intended for ______.A．inventors B．Doctors C．students D．scientistsDHow do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器)。

Which of the following bookings may receive the most benefits?A. B.C. D.23. This passage is probably taken from a(an)_____________A. textbookB. instructionC. posterD. reportBIn the 1980s, I took a part-time weekend job as a hospice(收容所) nurse, visiting fatally sick patients in their homes. My first visit was to a young man dying of AIDS. His chart showed he had been a patient for only a short time and was near death. As I drove to his house I wondered what I could do for him. Had he gone to college? What kind of work had he done? Had he been successful? Did his family disown him when he was diagnosed with this dread disease? AIDS in the1980s. So many fears. So much still to learn.As I got closer to his house, my anxiety kicked in. What would I be facing? Would he welcome me or be cross? I wondered about the wisdom of taking this hospice job. I knocked and walked inside. Slowly I climbed the stairs，wishing for more stairs. I heard a woman whisper, “She’s here.〞The bedroom door was partly open. I was shocked to see a skeleton of a man.Walking into the room, I felt like a robot. When I introduced myself, he gave a moan, neveropening his eyes. I drew up the pain medication, praying that there would be enough flesh to give the injection. He moaned again as I gently turned him on his side. "So sorry,"I said, as he frowned with pain. This man, not yet thirty-five years old，was actively dying.I asked him if I could ease him into the chair and straighten the sheets on his bed. He didn't speak but nodded his head and opened his eyes. Could he see the compassion in my eyes above the mask? When I asked if he wanted a sip of water, he nodded. I was grateful I could provide some comfort to him.Preparing to leave, I went to my patient to say goodbye. He murmured something, and I bent down closer to hear him. His words surprised me. Where did he get the strength to utter them? He whispered, “There must be a special place in heaven for people like you. 〞24. It is implied in the first paragraph that in the 1980s_______.A. people learned too much about AIDS.B. people had prejudice against AIDS patients.C. people had AIDS patients treated at homeD. people were not afraid of dying of AIDS25. Why did the writer wish for more stairs?A. She was tired of caring for an AIDS patient.B. She was worried about being affected with AIDS.C. She didn't know the reactions of the manD. She was afraid of making the man feel ashamed26. In the last paragraph, why did the man say that?A. Because he was grateful for the writer's service.B Because he expected the writer to be an angel.C Because he promised a place in heaven for the writer.D Because he thought heaven to be a special place.27. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Service of a Hospice Nurse.B. The Words from an AIDS PatientC. The Pain of a Man with AIDSD. The Skill of Caring for a PatientCThere is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only unkind terms like nerd and geek for the intellectually curious and academically serious. We all know what a nerd is: someone who wear thick glasses and ugly clothes: someone who knows all the answers to the chemistry or math homework but can never get a date on a Saturday night. And a geek，according to Webster's New World Dictionary，is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens. It is an obvious fact about our language and our culture that someone devoted to the pursuit of knowledge is compared to such a strange person.Even at a famous educational institution like Harvard, anti-intellectualism(反智主义) is widespread: Many students are ashamed to admit how much they study. The same thing happens in US primary and high schools.Enough is enough. The anti-intellectual values that have spread throughout American society must be fought. There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the US. In most industrialized nations, especially in East Asia, a kid who studies hard is praised. But in America, average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than professors of the best universities How can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their children studying mathematics instead of going dancing be expected to compete in the technology race with Japan? How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly put social skills and physical strength over academic achievement and intellectual ability?Do we really expect to stay afloat largely by bringing in our scientists and intellectuals from abroad，as we have done for a major portion of this century without making an effort to also cultivate(培养)a pro- intellectual (有利于知识分子的)culture at home.Not until the words “nerd〞 and “geek〞become words of praise rather than insults do we have a promising future.28. The main purpose of this article is to _________.A. argue against higher salaries for athletesB. offer solutions to current economic problemsC. complain about the lack of respect for intellectualsD. describe changes in the American society29. What is the meaning of the words “nerd〞 and “geek〞 in this passage?A. They are insulting terms which are applied to smart students.B. They are used in the U.S. to describe students from other countries.C. A nerd is a good student and a geek is a poor student.D. Nerds and geeks are accurate descriptions of strange students.30. The sentence “Enough is enough.〞 means “___________〞.A. it is now time to reverse the trend and to start respecting intellectualsB. hardworking students have been separated from others for long enoughC. nerds and geeks have been playing for too long a timeD. there have been enough teasing of those idle students31. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the present society’s anti-intellectual values?A. NeutralB. SupportiveC. Concerned D Objective.DGoogle’s new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip(夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own!What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.On board the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms ( 计算程序 ) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,〞 said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like〞. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced,〞 Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’r e likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It enables easy Internet accessB. It is equipped with tough glass.C. It can be worn on your clothing.D. It allows of hands-free photography.33. What does the underlined word “candid〞 in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Awkward.B. Brief.C. Touching.D. embarrassing..34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The advance in technology.B. The popularity of the Internet.C. The screen for viewing and editing.D. The rise of the smartphone industry.35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. New gadgets in the age of apps.B. Artificial intelligence in daily Life.C. A new digital camera from Google.D. An alternative way to photograph.第二节〔一共5 小题;每一小题2 分，满分是10 分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空处的最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In so doing， Member States acknowledged that the Earth and its ecosystems are our common home， and expressed their （1）_______ that it is necessary to promoteHarmony with Nature in order to achieve a just balance among the economic， social and environmental needs of present and future generations. The same year， the General Assembly adopted its first （2）_______on Harmony with Nature.The General Assembly has widely acknowledged that the world's depletion of natural resources and rapid environmental degradation are the result of unsustainable consumption and production patterns which have led to adverse consequences for both the Earth and the health and overall well﹣being of humanity. The scientific community has well （3）_______ evidence that our present way of life， in particular our consumption and production patterns， has （4）_______ affected the Earth's carrying capacity.Loss of biodiversity， desertification， climate change and the disruption of a number of natural （5）_______are among the costs of our disregard for Nature and the integrity of its ecosystems and life﹣supporting processes. As recent scientific work suggests， a number of planetary boundaries are being transgressed and others are at risk being so in a business﹣as ﹣usual world. Since the industrial （6）_______， Nature has been treated as a commodity that exists largely for the benefit of people， and environmental problems have been considered as solvable through the use of technology. In order to meet the basic needs of a growing population within the limits of the Earth's finite resources， there is a need to devise a more （7）_______model for production，consumption and the economy as a whole. Devising a new world will require a new relationship with the Barth and with humankind's own existence. Since 2009， the aim of the General Assembly， in adopting its nine resolutions on Harmony with Nature， has been to define this newly found relationship based on a non﹣anthropocentric relationship with Nature. The resolutions contain different （8）_______regarding the construction of a new， non﹣ anthropocentric paradigm in which the （9）_______ basis for right and wrong action concerning the environment is grounded not solely in human concerns. A step in this direction was further reaffirmed in the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development （2012），entitled "The future we want"："We recognize that planet Earth and its ecosystems are our home and that "Mother Earth" is a common expression in a number of countries and regions， and we note that some countries recognize the rights of nature in the context of the （10）_______ of sustainable development."Ⅲ.

When no one is in, deliverymen unlock the door and slip packages inside. Four months on, Mr. Romanov has （1）_______ his spending online and says he cannot imagine life without in﹣home deliveries.These are sweet words for delivery firms and online retailers, Amazon included, that are setting up（2）_______ with lock manufacturers to overcome a big hurdle for e﹣commerce.Traditional deliveries fail so（3）_______ that a parcel is driven to a home an average of 1.5 times in the Nordic region, says Kenneth Verlage, head of business development at PostNord, a logistics（物流） giant operating in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.It was the most outstanding new building constructed in Paris for two generations. It looked like an explosion of brightly coloured service pipes in the calm of the city centre. However, when in 1977 the architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano stood among a large crowd of 5, 000 at the opening of the Centre Culturel d'Art Georges Pompidou （known asthe Pompidou）, no one was really aware of the signifcance of this unusual building.Rogers was only 38 when he and Piano won the competition to design a new cultural centre for Paris in the old market site. Young, unknown architects, they had been chosen from a field of nearly 700 to design one of the most famous buildings of its day. After six difficult years, with 25, 000 drawings, seven lawsuits, battles over budgets, and a desperate last﹣minute effort to finish the building, it had finally been done.Yet the opening was a downbeat moment. The Pompidou Centre had been rubbished by the critics while it was being built, there was no more work in prospect for the architects, and their partnership had effectively broken down. But this was just a passing crisis. The Centre, which combined the national museum of modern art, exhibition space, a public library and a centre for modern music, proved an enormous success. It attracted six million visitors in its first year, and with its success, the critics swiftly changed their tune.The architects had been driven by the desire for ultimate flexibility, for a building that would not limit the movement of its users. All the different parts were approached through the same enormous entrance hall and served by the same escalator, which was free to anyone to ride, whether they wanted to visit an exhibition or just admire the view. With all the services at one end of the building, escalators and lifts at the other, and the floors hung on giant steel beams providing uninterrupted space the size of two football fields, their dream had become a reality.（1）What does the writer say about the opening of the Pompidou Centre？________A. The elderly didn't like it.B. The atmosphere was very noisy.C. The architects were not present at the site.D. The people didn't realize its importance.．（2）What can be learned from the passage about the construction of the Pompidou？________A. There was a hurry to complete it.B. Other experts helped draw the plans.C. The market location was criticized.D. It cost less than expected.．（3）The third paragraph is intended to________.A. praise the architects for their design ideasB. explain the multi﹣functional role of the centreC. say why some people's opinions quickly alteredD. show how the media benefited from its success．（4）What was the architects "dream" referred to in the fourth paragraph？________A. To become famous.B. To provide entertainment.C. To allow visitors to use it freely.D. To build the biggest museum in the world.．Climate change disproportionately affects the world's most vulnerable people, particularly poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livelihoods and coastal populations throughout the tropics. We have already seen a chain of tough suffering that results from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, and more.For remedies, advocates and politicians have tended to look toward cuts in fossil﹣fuel use or technologies to capture carbon before it enters the atmosphere﹣both of which are crucial. But this focus has overshadowed the most powerful and cost﹣efficient carbon capture technology in the world. Recent research confirms that forests are absolutely essential in reducing climate change, thanks to their ability to absorb and isolate carbon. In fact, natural climate solutions such as conservation and restoration of forests, along with improvements in land management, can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target of limiting warming to a maximum of two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.Forests' power to store carbon dioxide is staggering: one tree can store an average of about 48 pounds in one year. Intact（完整的）forests could take in the CO2 emissions of some entire countries.For this reason, policymakers and business leaders must create and enforce policies to prevent deforestation, foster reforestation of degraded land, and promote the sustainable management of standing forests in the fight against climate change. Protecting the world's forests ensures they can keep performing essential functions such as producingoxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity. Not only does the world's entire population depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water, oxygen and medicines, but 1.6 billion people also rely on them directly for their livelihoods.Unfortunately, a huge amount of forest continues to be converted into agricultural land to produce a handful of resource﹣intensive commodities ﹣ despite zero﹣deforestation commitments from companies and governments. So now is the time to increase forest protection and restoration. This action will also address a number of other pressing global issues. For example, in less developed, rural areas ﹣ especially in the tropics ﹣ community ﹣based forest﹣management programs can forge pathways out of poverty. In the Peten region of Guatemala, for instance, community﹣managed forests boasted a near﹣zero deforestation rate from 2000 through 2013, as compared with 12 percent in nearby protected areas and buffer（缓冲）zones. These communities have built low﹣impact, sustainable forest﹣based businesses that have stimulated the economy of the region enough to fund the creation of local schools and health services. Their success is especially noticeable in a location where, outside these community﹣managed zones, deforestation rates have increased 20﹣fold.（1）Which of the following statements about natural climate solutions is true according to the passage？________A. They are the only effective strategies available to address the climate change.B. They pale in comparison with the reduction in fossil﹣fuel use or technologies.C. They can and should play a more important role in cutting carbon emissions.D. They manage to limit warming to two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.．（2）The word "staggering"（Paragraph 3）is closest in meaning to "________ ."A. documentedB. incredibleC. unsteadyD. negligible．（3）Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with？________A. The policies to prevent deforestation have borne fruitB. Developed counties are hit the hardest by climate change.C. Economic growth contributes a lot to reducing deforestation.D. Some governments fail to keep their promises to preserve forests.．He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post﹣war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the boring recording of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire﹣born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called The Hawkt in the Rain when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric（浮夸）, it had visionary enthusiasm. Its most eye﹣catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also, armorial devices ﹣﹣﹣﹣symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal flavor.It was not only England that thought so, either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbrnith Prize, a major literary award. But then in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was ________ for long after that especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self﹣imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose﹣weave poems called Birthday Letters. In this new and exciting collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his "big and unmanageable event". He felt his talent wrapped by the continuing eavesdropping（偷听） upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten.The analysis is raw, pained and crucially self aware. For all the moral criticisms, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry. Some books of letters serve as a personalised historical chronicle（编年史）. Poets' letters are seldom like that, and Hughes's are no exception. His are about a life of literary engagement: almost all of them include some musing on the state or the nature of writing, both Hughes's own or other people's. The path of Hughes's literary career had him moving from obscurity to fame, and then, in the eyes of many, to life﹣long notoriety（声名狼藉）. These letters are filled with his wresting with the consequences of being the part﹣private, part public creature that he became, desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy.Hughes is an appealing and complicated commentator upon his own poetry, even when he is standing back from it and good﹣humouredly criticizing himself for its fantasticalia, its pretticisms and its infinite verballifications. He also believed, from first to last, that poetry had a special place in the education of children. "What kids need", he wrote in a 1988 letter to the Secretary of State for Education in the Conservative Government, "is a headful of songs that are not songs but blocks of refined and achieved and exemplary language." When that happens, children have "the guardian angel installed behind the tongue". ________, bigor small.（1）The poetry of Hughes's predecessors is characteristic of________ .A. its natural， raw flavorB. its boring description of people's daily lifeC. its unique sightD. its fantastic enthusiasm．（2）The word "vilified" in the second paragraph most probably means________ .A. torturedB. comfortedC. scoldedD. guarded．（3）According to the third paragraph， the cause of Hugbes's internal struggle is________ .A. his eager and unsatisfied passion for literatureB. that be is a part﹣private， part﹣public creatureC. that he is afraid of his privacy being exposed to the criticism of the publicD. the moral sufferings imposed by himself．（4）"Lucky readers" in the last paragraph refer to________.A. children who are taught with the beauty and wisdom of poetryB. children who have a headful of fantastic and verbally perfect songsC. children who own blocks of refined and exemplary languageD. children who are believed to have the guardian angel installed behind the tongue．Section CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentencecan be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Many of us have already lost the "race against the machines" ﹣ we just don't know it yet. That is the conclusion of new research by the Organization for Economic Co﹣operation and Development.Unlike most studies into the impact of automation， this one does not rely on informed guesswork about what machines will be able to do in 20 years' time.（1）________. They are literacy，numeracy and problem﹣solving with computers. The results are alarming，but rather than a reason to despair.In the survey a group of computer scientists was given the same test and asked whichquestions computers could answer， using technology that exists but has not necessarily been rolled out yet in the workplace. The conclusion？ Almost a third of workers use these cognitive skills daily in their jobs and yet their competency levels have already been matched by computers. About 44 per cent are still better than the machines. The remaining 25 per cent have jobs that do not use these skills every day.There are two caveats（提醒）. First， the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do.（2）________ . Second， just that technology exists does not mean it will be applied quickly in the workplace. It depends on how easily it can be made operational， how much it costs relative to the value it creates， and whether companieshave the appetite to invest.（3）________. Stuart Eliot the author， concludes that in 10 to 20 years， only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute， only about one in 10 working﹣age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.The risks to workers from ever smarter computers are clear，but the opportunities will lie in maximizing the value of their human skills. （4）________ .Others might need to exploit their human talents with the help of computers.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What I Think of Boxing as a SportBoxing is a popular sport. Newspapers， magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of money， and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.It seems to me that some people，especially men，find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match，they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time，but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.However，there is a negative side to boxing. Although boxers wear gloves during the fights，and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets， a kind of strong hard hat， there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing， sometimes with dramatic consequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries， and， occasionally，fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Furthermore，studies have shown that there are often long﹣term effects of boxing， in the form of serious brain damage， even if a boxer has never been knocked out.To conclude， I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better if less tine was given to aggressive sports on TV， and we can celebratemore men and women from non﹣aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course， people like competitive sports， and so do I， but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that shouldbe regarded as a sport.Ⅴ.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the otherblanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The Antonine Plague (瘟疫)The year was 166 C.E., and the Roman Empire was in its prime. The triumphant Roman troops, under the command of Emperor Lucius Verrus, returned to Rome victorious after (21) (defeat) their Parthian enemies. As they marched west toward Rome, they carried with them more than the spoils of plundered Parthian temples; they also carried an epidemic that (22) (ruin) the Roman Empire over the course of the next two decades.The Antonine Plague, (23) was known later, would reach every corner of the empire and is (24)most likely claimed the life of Lucius Verrus himself in 169 – and possibly that of his co-emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180.The effect of the epidemic on Rome’s armies was apparently devastating. Closeness to sick fellow soldiers and less-than-optimal living conditions made it possible for the outbreak to spread rapidly throughout the troops, such as those (25) (base) along the northern frontier at Aquileia. Troops elsewhere in the empire were similarly stricken. (26) (reverse) their shrinking soldiers, they sent the sons of soldiers to troops. Army discharge certificates from the Balkan region suggest that there was a significant decrease in the number of soldiers who were allowed to retire from military service during the period of the plague.The effect on the civilian population was evidently by no means (27) (severe). In his letter to Athens in 174, Marcus Aurelius loosened the requirements for membership to the ruling council of Athens, (28) there were now too few surviving upper-class Athenians who met the requirements he had introduced prior to the outbreak.It has been estimated that the death rate over the 23-year period of the Antonine Plague was 7—10 percent of the population. (29) the practical consequences of the outbreak, such as the destabilization of the Roman military and economy, the psychological impact on the populations could by no means be ignored. It is easy to imagine the sense of fear and helplessness ancient Romans (30) have felt in the face of such a ruthless, painful, disfiguring and frequently fatal disease.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. clarifyB. consistentC. converselyD. criteriaE. misinterpretedF. perceivedG. qualify H. reflection I. significance J. simultaneously K. valuableIn recent years we’ve all become more health conscious. However, in doing so we seem to have 31 health. Health is no longer something everyone is born with. Health is a commodity. It is something you can have more of. And to 32 for this extra health you have to buy a tracksuit, eat vitamin pills, have a therapist and learn to do one-handed press-ups.This all sounds quite harmless—until you realise it implies that people who are not perfectly formed, who are not young, sporty and sun-tanned, are less 33 people. We all want to be healthy but we should perhaps come down off the exercise bike and 34 what the word health actually means.For a start, health is not beauty and fitness. You can have wonderful hair and huge muscles, while your internal organs are in a terrible state. The outer person is not a direct 35 of the inner person. Second, health is not a purely physical state. It’s mental as well. There are lots of fit people who are not psychologically sound and,36 , a lot of quite seriously disabled people who are bright, happy and perfectly in tune with themselves. Besides, the 37 for physical and mental health are a matter of opinion, containing a strong social element. There’s a tribe in the Amazon rainforest which regards you as unwell if you don’t have marks of fungal(真菌) infection on your skin.Taking all this into account, health is a terribly difficult word to define. It is nevertheless of grave 38 to do so, because unless we know what health is we don’t know what to aim for. My own favourite definition of health is‘psychological health is the ability to love and to work’. It’s an easy thing to aim for and at the same time very difficult to arrive at. There are, however, occasional moments in everyone’s life when you experience, 39 , a great love for those around you and also a great sense of personal fulfilment. These brief moments are very hard to achieve, but they are 40 as a more worthwhile aim in life than trying to look like a supermodel.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.At the Noori Convenience Store LaShanda Calloway, a 27-year-old man, was lying unconscious on the floor, badly wounded and in desperate need of help, and yet the five people present in the store walked past her and carried on with their shopping. The truth of the matter was that this type of occurrence wasn’t 41 , and the shoppers’ motivations weren’t that difficult to understand.We all like to think that we can 42 when the situation requires it, our moral codes prompting us to react in a proper and acceptable way. However, what really happens when we’re 43 is something quite different. The vast majority of people do nothing: something is holding them back. The LaShanda Calloway case is a classic example of this: it’s what social psychologists call ‘the bystander effect’.Studies have shown that the bystander effect is caused by several different 44 made by people at the scene of an emergency or other distressing event. Firstly, having other people around is one of the main causes of 45 . The reason for this is people tend to assume that someone else is either already helping or 46 to offer aid.We also 47 situations through ‘social proof’ or the information we gather from others. If other people are not ___48___, perhaps there is no emergency or wrongdoing. We don’t want to make an embarrassing mistake, so we 49 and do nothing. This results in ‘pluralistic ignorance’(人众无知) where everyone assumes that others have more knowledge, and people yield to what they perceive as the majority opinion.50 of personal risk also plays a part. If someone is attacked or in deep trouble and you intervene, there is a risk of you becoming a new target for the aggressor or 51 the friction.So how do people manage to reverse the trend and intervene? What stimulates them into action? And what causes other people to bury their heads in the sand?Studies have shown that active bystanders have generally had a more tolerant and empathetic upbringing, which stimulates greater 52 for the welfare of others. For these people, turning a blind eye isn’t an option; they feel compelled to step in and get involved.That said, the bystander effect tends to 53 every aspect of our lives, from everyday scenarios like seeing bullying to our attitude to bigger challenges such as global warming. Perhaps the first step is 54 that we are all bystanders. Being aware of the causes could help us overcome them. Ultimately, it’s in our power to make adifference, from changing people’s attitudes to saving someone’s dignity- or maybe, as in the case of LaShanda Calloway, even saving someone’s 55 .41.

A. trouble B. face C. life D. moneySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)At 14, Fraser Doherty was busy making jam after his grandparents taught him a family recipe. He started selling jars of his jam door to door near his parents’ home in Edinburgh. As interest grew, his hobby stated to turn into a business. He now makes 40,000 jars of jam a month and is well on his way to making his first million.Doherty, who has been chosen to represent Britain in the Global Students Entrepreneurs Awards in Chicago next month, said there are several advantages to having started young: “As a young person you have a different view of the world. You have a naivety and an optimism and are willing to give things a shot. The downside for me isn’t particularly scary. I don’t have a mortgage or kids to worry about so I didn’t have a huge amount to lose if my idea had not worked.”Duncan Cheatle, founder of The Supper Club, a forum for established entrepreneurs in London, agreed that becoming an entrepreneur at a young age has a lot to recommend it.“For young people there is no concept of thinking outside the box because there isn’t a box. There is capacity in young people to see things in a different way that older people lose. And often not being an expert in something can be helpful because if you don’t understand why something works in a certain way you will decide to do it differently.”Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, the home business website, said that young people were much more confident about using technology as a base for their business than the older generation. “Whole sectors that didn’t exist ten years ago are coming up now because young entrepreneurs are challenging all previous rules and saying technology means that we can do things like this. They have an open capacity to think of new ideas and as a result they are starting very interesting businesses.”56. According to Doherty, is the competitive edge of young people starting business compared with the older generation?A. ignorance of the realityB. naïve pursuit of a hobbyC. readiness to try things outD. parents shouldering the financial burden57. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means young people .A. are reluctant to obey the existing rulesB. are not bound by established ways of doing thingsC. have superior ideas to those of the older generationD. will not fall into traps that old people set up for them58. Which of the following statements will Emma Jones most likely agree with?A. Abandoning all previous rules is a must to establish new sectors.B. As people grow older, they are less able to take a fresh approach.C. Those lacking confidence are less able to start creative businesses.D. The use of technology contributes to the creation of new businesses.59. The purpose of this passage is to .A. inform readers of success stories of young entrepreneursB. introduce opinions on the advantages of being young entrepreneursC. convince young people to follow the trend and start their own businessesD. provide specific guidance on how to become successful young entrepreneurs(B)Know how much to tipNew rules of gratuitiesThe pandemic has been particularly hard on people who work for tips. Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all, while others don’t interact with customers the same way. In either case, tips dried up, causing a lot of people to suffer. Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.Just as many services have changed, so should tipping. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.Some new rules of tipping that are likely here to stay:Give more if you can.It’s common for tips to be divided between all the workers at a store or Think outside the (cash) box.You can also “tip” with a thank-younote or a homemade gift when aTreat business owners differently.A practice of the past, tipping theboss separately is no longerrestaurant, not just those who interact directly with customers. So giving generously ensures a fairer tip for all.business (or your budget) doesn’tpermit gratuities. Consider writing areview online, making sure to namenames.necessary. But if she serves you, tipher as you would any of herworkers.As for specific situations, here’s what the experts recommend:FOOD AND DRINKSRestaurant workersOld rule: Leave a tip only when you dine in.New rule: Always tip, even for takeout.Tip: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders.Personal shoppersOld rule: N/A (Not applicable). Many of these services, such as grocery pickup, are newer.New rule: Tip, and do it in the app, since you are unlikely to interact directly with your shopper.Tip: 10 to 15 percent. If a tip is already included, add a few dollars extra.HOME DELIVERIESPackage delivery driversOld rule: Don’t tip.New rule: Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week.Tip: Drinks, snacks, or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large. Postal workers cannot accept cash or gifts worth more than $50 per year. UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists. And FedEx prohibits employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).Flower delivery driversOld rule: The person who places the order tips those who deliver flowers (and other specialty items).New rule: You can’t assume the gift giver already tipped, so if you’re lucky enough to get such a delivery, pass the goodwill along in the form of a tip.Tip: $5 to $10.PERSONAL SERVICESRide-share driversOld rule: Tip in cash.New rule: Ask your driver. The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities, but some drivers prefer cash.Tip: 15 to 20 percent.60. New rules of tipping are recommended because .A. the pandemic has driven many businesses to financial ruinB. some people have to work from home without interactionC. customers dismiss the old standards as unfair to themselvesD. some old tipping standards can’t help some service workers out now61. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Tip every worker fairly in case some may keep the money to himself.B. The more you tip, the better service you will receive.C. Writing a review online is highly recommended to express gratitude.D. There is no need to tip the boss because he doesn’t provide any service.62. did best in tipping according to the recommended rules.Name Situation TipGinna order a roast goose ($50) at Kam’s Roasts for takeout$0 for the waiter$10 for the FedEx delivery man Joan take a delivery of a package from FedEx (bottled water, 500ml,24-pack)Susan receive a bunch of flowers delivered by a Flower Plus driver$5 (cash) for the gardener$3 (cash) for the driverLinn take a Uber ($15) from St Vincent’s Hospital to the CentralLibraryA.

A system under development in the project there senses when bikes are approaching a crossing and changes the lights sooner than it otherwise would, thus giving cyclists priority over motorists. Smart traffic lights can also have environmental benefits, for example, by giving lorries a clear run through urban areas and reducing the frequency with which they have to stop and start, they reduce emissions, noise pollution and damage to road surfaces. All of this seems a far cry from the majority of urban centres.The application of the technology is virtually limitless and could form a major weapon in the battle to recapture city streets worldwide from motor vehicles and reduce pollution. To put this into context, in Barcelona, which is anything but large relative to many modern urban expansions, air pollution is estimated to cause around 3,500 premature deaths per year out of a population of 1.6 million. Additionally, it is responsible for severe effects on ecosystems and agriculture. Traffic, which is the major contributor to this problem, also causes noise pollution beyond levels considered healthy. Scaling this distressing picture up for larger metropolitan areas could be bad for your health!The World Health Organisation recommends that every city should have a minimum of 9 ㎡of green space per resident. While some places come out well relative to this figure (London scores an impressive 27, and Amsterdam an incredible 87.5), many do not. Tokyo currently has around 3 ㎡per person, and is far from alone in providing insufficient ‘lungs’ for its population. Picture the effect on these figures of banning traffic from the majority of a city’s streets and allowing these roads to be converted into community areas, such as parks and pedestrian zones. Such a system, known as ‘superblocks’, is rapidly gaining support in many of the world’s urban centres.The idea has at its heart the notion that streets belong to people and not cars. Roads are repurposed within an area known as a superblock, leaving only the streets around the area accessible to vehicles. Taking up less space than a neighbourhood, but larger than the blocks in many cities, their design ensures that no one would ever be more than300 m from a road. This may mean sacrificing the parking spaces assigned to properties within them, but that’s a small price to pay. By increasing the frequency of bus stops on the surrounding streets and applying smart traffic management technology as used in Tilburg, it would be possible to make public transport more effective despite having significantly fewer vehicle-accessible roads. This could be paired with a new system of cycling lanes in the areas off-limits to traffic.Given that the majority of the world’s population now lives in an urban environment, imagine the number of people who would benefit from this idea.63. What is the writer emphasising in the sentence ‘All of this seems a far cry from the majority of urban centres’ in paragraph one?A. the contrast between aims and the current reality.B. how upsetting living in some cities can be.C. how advanced technology is in certain regions.D. the technological changes happening worldwide.64. What point does the writer make in the second paragraph?A. Smaller cities have relatively high levels of pollution.B. Having farms near cities decreases harmful pollution.C. Problems caused by pollution multiply with city size.D. Embracing technology eases harmful pollution levels.65.What does the writer suggest about green spaces in the third paragraph?A. Most cities exceed international green space guidelines.B. Modern cities have fewer green spaces than old ones.C. Much urban green space worldwide has disappeared.D. Many city authorities should change their green space policy.66. According to the writer, all of the following people would benefit from the introduction of superblocksexcept .A. bus usersB. residentsC. cyclistsD. pedestriansSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Loneliness is a big factor, especially among housewives.B. A slower rate of growth invariably produces discontent.C. Another gave climate conditions and homesickness as the main reasons for leaving.D. One drawback with immigrants to Australia is that integration tends to be more difficult.E. Above all, perhaps, skilled immigrants often finds a considerable reluctance to accept their qualifications.F. As a matter of fact, we are so busy boasting about ourselves that we have no time to be warm-hearted and considerate.A big cause of concerns for Australian government is the increasing number of migrants who return to their countries of origin. Several surveys have been conducted recently into the reasons why people go home. One notedthat “flies, dirt, and outside lavatories” were on the list of complaints from British immigrants, and added that many people also complained about “the crudity, bad manners, and unfriendliness of the Australians”. 67 Most British migrants miss council housing the National Health scheme, and their relatives and former neighbor.68 The men soon make new friends at work, but wives tend to find it much harder to get used to a different way of life. Many are housebound because of inadequate public transport in most outlying suburbs, and regular correspondence with their old friends at home only serves to increase their discontent. One housewife was quoted recently as saying: “I even find I miss the people I used to hate at home.”Rent are high, and there are long waiting lists for Housing Commission homes. Sickness can be an expensive business and the climate can be unexpectedly rough. The gap between Australian and British wage packets is no longer big, and people are generally expected to work harder here than they do at home. Professional men over forty often have difficulty in finding a decent job. 69According to the journal Australian Manufacturer, the attitude of many employers and fellow workers is anything but friendly. “We Australians,” it stated in a recent issue, “are just too fond of painting the rosy picture of the big, warm-hearted Aussie. 70 Go down “heart-break alley” among some of the migrants and find out just how expansive the Aussie is to his immigrants.”Ⅲ. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Global CooperationIn the 21st century, we’ve seen a new trend that is pushing the boundaries of invention and innovation—global cooperation. Scientific and technical research and development is now so complicated that no one scientist can know it all. So, increasingly, innovation is coming from the combining of cutting-edge expertise (专业知识) from different scientific fields.There are now over 8,000 scientific journals worldwide and it is impossible to be an expert in all areas. Therefore, in this highly specialized world, scientists, medics and engineers have to cooperate in order to innovate. Professor Bob Langer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has made significant breakthroughs in the field of biomedical engineering. But he hasn’t done it on his own. He has invited experts from around the world in different fields to form a global team to design new substances which can go inside the body, deliver medicines and then dissolve.Also at MIT, when Cesar Harada heard about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, he quit his dream job there and tried to develop a more efficient way to remove the oil. But rather than focusing on profit, he decided to‘open-source’ the design. He shared his own ideas on the web for free and then got experts from all around the world to contribute ideas and even donations. Thanks to this free, not-for-profit way of sharing ideas and intellectual property on the internet, a boat capable of cleaning oil quickly came into being. Obviously, international cooperation based on sharing information freely has produced innovative approaches to solving problems.It appears that the days of brilliant individuals working in their garages on their own are over. Global teams with a united purpose building on everyone’s expertise can collectively do far more than one brilliant individual. Today’s world calls for global cooperators, sharers, and not protectors of ideas.。

These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. T he lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basicmath. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer.

An advertisementBIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits andvegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：While the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses s eek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout th e day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.25. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B.

To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.CHow to avoid common life mistakes?1. Don’t do things you don’t likeWhenever you do things you don’t like, you will start to hate yourself a bit m ore. You will hate yourself for not being consistent. For doing things you know that you don’t want to do, another stress is right there.2. Do lessThis is one of the hardest things, especially for me. I’m doing too many things at the same time. In itself, doing many different things to figure out what works and what doesn’t isn’t that had. It’s actually quite good. But at some point you need to let go of the things that don’t work and focus on the things that work. And that’s the hardest part, at least for me. I always try to make everything work. And if you always try to make everything work, you’ll usually end up with nothing working at all.3. Get rid of complicated thingsThere are many complicated things in plicated relationships, complicated jobs, complicated whatever. What all of these things do is that they steal our focus.They add an addit ional stress layer to our lives and take over some of our brain’s bandwidth（带宽；频宽）. We desperately need to navigate（驾驶）bandwidth in this crazy and complex world.4. Read books, not blogsBlogs consist of too much information for our brains to process. Blogs usually leave out the story our brains need. Our brains need a story to remember things.Don’t believe me? Try it. What parts of this blog post do you remember? Probably none.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone el se in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I m ight not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day----with an “A” on it. At the bo ttom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”32. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because__________.A. He was new to the classB.
