第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(听力部分不计入总分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AA trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level,the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Your Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pic k a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us,after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower,you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine inthe Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great,but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.21. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A. Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible.B. Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.C. Because you can have a special sight of the city of Pairs.D. Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.22. What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Control.B. Avoid.C. Stand.D. Remember.23. Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?A. Because they had a quarrel with the officer.B. Because they lost valuable objects.C. Because they set off the metal detector.D. Because they didn’t seize the ch ance.24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author recommends tourists have snacks at the Eiffel Tower.B. You spend more if you have snacks at the Tower.C. The author prefers to eat across the Seine.D. The Eiffel Tower provides expensive foods and drinks.BLike Indiana Jones (a fictional character),who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time,my father is a businessman by day and a thrill-seeker by night.His enthusiasm rubbed off on me,and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures.We started out by riding America's fastest,most twisted roller coasters.After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon(峡谷)on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe.Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world.Skydiving was especiallythrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps.We have bungee jumped from the world's highest platform, Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa.Most recently,in Interlaken,Switzerland,we attempted canyoning(溪降运动).Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning.Our adventure began with a 90-foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice-cold river.Then we crossed the bone-chilling water toward the mouth of the river,our final destination,where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin.We slid over slippery rocks at one moment,jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next.Back and forth we alternated,climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water.Certainly,clanger was waiting for us in each of these activities,but that very danger provided the rush.Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another,from beginning to end.While canyoning is possible only in certain places,thrills and adventure can be found anywhere.Our beginnings in the U.S. showed us just that.We continue to seek the big thrills,but in doing so,we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well.After all,we can't go canyoning every day,and small thrills are better than none for us thrill-seekers.25. What do we know about the author's father?A. He is a very successful bushinessman.B.He is doing a part-time job.C.He enjoys experiencing adventures.D. He likes Indiana Jones very much.26. What does the underlined phrase "rubbed off on" mean in paragraph 2?A. relate toB.affectC. keep offD.confuse27. What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning?A. Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water.B. Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.C.Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels.D.Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river.28. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well.B.We had better go abroad to experience canyoning.C. Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.D.America is the most proper place to experience adventures.CDo you have a business brain? Are you always looking for the next big idea? Maybe, like me, you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you’re older, when you have more experience. But that’s not always the case.While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world, sleeping late and partying hard, others are already on a path to great business success. Take the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US. There are many other examples of young entrepreneurs (企业家) who have become hugely successful, proving that there’s no minimum age to becoming top dog.But to be the next business executive requires effort. You need to acquire a keen mind and good business intelligence and above all, you need enthusiasm. Starting a new business comes with an element of risk but if you are able to spot the next big idea, it’s probably worth giving it a try. Jessica Rose owns a jewelry making business and admits that “when I first started I had no business training but when I wok e up one day, I thought I’d really love to be a jewelry designer.” She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.Being young and in business does have its drawbacks; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who work for you tend to be older and wiser. That’s what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found. He started his third business while studying chemistry at university. He says “now I’ve got two additional directors who have grey hair” but when they first sta rted he says he could tell they were thinking in the back of their heads, “I’ve got a kid sitting in front of me.”You may think setting up a new start-up is easier said than done. As well as ideas, you need financial backing and expert guidance. But if yo u’re studying hard at university and don’t have the desire to go into business and make your fortune, keep on studying – an education is priceless!29. At the very beginning, what’s the author’s attitude to the necessity of being agedand experienced in setting up a new company?A. Supportive.B. Impersonal.C. Negative.D. Critical.30. The author takes Jessica Rose for example in order to show that __________.A. it is easy to set up a new businessB. enthusiasm is more important than a keen mindC. business training is not necessaryD. doing business needs great effort31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Older directors shouldn’t be employed if you are young.B. Age plays an important role in setting up new business.C. If you don’t intend to set up business, just focus on your study.D. Education is more valuable than setting up a business.DAre you the type of person who has to plan everything? Doyou like to the surprised? Or are you the type who opens your birthday presents when you find them hidden in the closet?How do people determine the sex. why do people want to know. and what impact does it have on their pregnancy?While the potential risks of ultrasound(超声波)are thought to he lowest. it is not recommended simply to find out the sex of your baby. There is also the question of accuracy. Ultrasound is less accurate than genetic testing. Ultrasound is available to the majority of pregnant women. despite the warning against the routine use of ultrasound.Genetic testing is 99. 1 % accurate in determining the sex of your baby. However, genetic testing carries the risk of losing the pregnancy or harming the pregnancy. Amniocentesis(羊膜穿刺术)is usually said to have a 1%~2% loss rate and anadditional 1%~2% infection or problem rate. There have also been reports of disorder. Recent studies suggest that this problem is reduced if done after 10 weeks.Knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be for common reasons. such as decorating a baby room. or it can he for medical reasons, such as a sex-linked gene disorder.The impact of knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be anywhere front tiny things. such as decorating a nursery to high impact such as deciding to stop a pregnancy because of a sex-linked disorder. There is also the question of accuracy and bringing your new baby boy home to his pink room and closet full of dresses.There are ways of predicting the sex of your baby that are not as accurate, and should not be used for diagnostic(诊断的)purposes but are fun. Either way you go. whether or not you choose to know. the surprise will eventually be revealed at that magic moment when you hear."It's a…”32. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The condition of an unborn baby.B. The habit of planning everything.C. The labor to find hidden presents.D. The act of knowing the sex of an unborn baby.33. Compared with genetic testing. determining the sex of an unborn baby byultrasound is considered______A. less commonB. less accurateC. more riskyD. more useful34. What can we know about ultrasound from the text?A. It is the most dangerous for routine use.B. It shouldn't be used on pregnant women too often.C. It shouldn't be available to pregnant women at all.D. It shouldn't be used to determine the sex of an unborn baby.35. What,the text mainly about?A. Impacts on babies after testing them.B.

2018年上海宝山区高考英语一模试卷和参考答案及听力原文

2018年上海宝山区高考英语一模试卷和参考答案及听力原文

2018 年上海宝山区高考英语一模试卷II.Grammar and VocabularyWhy My Best Friend Is a BookWriting about beliefs is hard. It makes you reach deep into your soul and truly look at what is there. It requires time and effort, and then hits you in the face and someone in the bac kground says ―Oh, why didn’t you think of that before?‖ Beliefs change, they mature and grow just (21)a child. The best beliefs are the ones that (22) ( cherish) throughout a lifetime. One belief I cherish above all others is the power and enjoyment of reading.Reading can be for fun and that learning is (23) (easy) when you’re having fun. Being able to relate to the characters, imagine the conflicts in your head,and feel the characters’ sadness, as well as their joy, is the most amazing thing about reading. A chance to live another life for a short time, to be another person, Reading lends the soul and mind a place (24) (escape). I would much rather pick up a good luck than watch a television show.Reading can teach us. Wh ether it’s a fantasy novel or a historical account, you learn when you read. It provides grammar and (25) (write) language skills. Reading teaches us about emotion. Reading gives you new words and expands your vocabulary by forcing you to challenge yourself. In its own way it makes us feel the emotions of the characters. (26)you read, I believe you will learn, mind and soul.Reading can bring people together. I cannot count the number of new friends and people that have entered my life because of books. My stepmother, grandmother, and I all rad the same books.(27) is better than being able to share the tense moments, near misses, and happy endings while (28) (drink) a steaming cup of coffee together with someone. Reading allows you to lower your walls and let people in to form genuine chains. Plus people (29)read impressive books are usually pretty cool themselves!Over the years reading has been my companion. Always with a book in my purse, I have never faced the world without a best friend by my side. Books (30) (help) me through difficult periods and applauded me in times of celebration. Books always make me smile. That’s the biggest reason I believe in reading, because it will make you happy.Section BDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.A.extentB.substanceC.normalD. potentialE.refreshingF.instructionsG. function H.caused I.physical J.restore K. mentallyThe discovery builds on earlier findings showed that a class of genes called splicing (胶接) factors is progressively switched off as we age. The research team found that splicing factors canbe switched back on with chemicals, making aging cells not only look 31 younger, but start to divide like young cells.The researchers applied compounds chemicals based on a 32 naturally found in red wine, dark chocolate, red grapes and blueberries, to cells in culture. The chemicals 33 splicing factors, which are progressively switched off as we age to be switched back on. Within hours, the cells looked younger and started to rejuvenate,behaving like young cells.The discovery has the 34 to lead to therapies that could help people age better, without experiencing some of the degenerative effects of getting old. Most people by the age of 85 have experienced some kind of chronic illness, and as people get older they are more prone to stroke, heart disease and cancer.Professor Harries as saying, ―This is a first step in trying to make people live35 lifetime, but with health for their entire life. Our data suggests that using chemicals to switch back on the major class of genes that are switched off as we age might provide a means to 36 to old cells.‖Dr Eva Latorre, Research Associate at the University of Exeter, who carried out the experiments, was surprised by the 37 and rapidity of the changes in the cells.―When I saw some of the cells in the culture dish 38 I couldn’t believe it. These old cells were looking like young cells. It was like magic,‖ she said. ―I repeated the experiments several times and in each case the cells rej uvenated. I am very excited by the implications and potential for this research.‖As we age, our tissues accumulate senescent cells which are alive but do not grow or39 as they should. These old cells lose the ability to correctly regulate the output of their genes. This is one reason why tissues and organs become susceptible to disease as we age. When activated, genes make a message that gives the 40for the cell to behave in a certain way. Most genes can make more than one message, which determines how the cell acts.Splicing factors are crucial in ensuring that genes can perform their full range of functions.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.Cameron Buckner, assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Houston, argues in an article published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research that a wide range of animal species exhibit so-called ― executive control‖ when it comes to making decisions,41 considering their goals and ways to satisfy those goals before acting.He acknowledges that language is 42 for some experienced forms of higher-order thinking, or thinking about thinking. But supported by a review of previously published research, Buckner 43 that a wide variety of animals -- -elephants, chimpanzees( 黑猩猩), ravens( 大乌鸦) and lions, among others ---44 reasonable decision-making.― These data suggest that not only do some animals have a subjective take on the suitability of the 45 they are evaluating for their goal, they possess a subjective, internal signal regarding their confidence in this take can be used to select among different options,‖ he wrote.The question has been 46 since the days of the ancient philosophers, as people considered what means to be human is. One way to address that, Buckner said, is to 47 exactly what sets humans apart from other animals. Language remains a key difference between animals and humans, and Buckner notes that serious 48 in the 1970s and 80s to teach animal’s human language—teaching chimpanzees to use sign language, 49 ----found that although they were able to express simple ideas, they did not engage in 50 thought and language structures. Ancient philosophers relied upon unreliable 51 to study the issue, but today’s researcher conduct complicated controlled experiments. Buckner, working with Thomas Bugnyar and Stephan A. Reber, mental biologist at the University of Vienna, last year 52 the results of a result that determined ravens share at least some of the human ability to think abstractly about other minds, 53 their behavior by attaching their own observations to others. In his latest paper, Buckner offers several examples to support his 54 . His goal, Buckner said, was to organize experimental research, ―to see that we’re gathered enough evide nce to say that animals really are 55 in a unique way.‖t45. A. option B. scheme C. regulation D. random46. A. dismissed B. ignored C. debated D. answered47. A. evaluate B. determine C. overlook D. initiate48. A. results B. successes C. achievements D. attempts49. A. for example B. this is to say C. on the contrary D. as a result50. A. obvious B. feasible C. private D. complex51. A. mystery B. tradition C. evidence D. fiction52. A. substituted B. published C. reflected D. maintained53. A. adapting B. symbolizing C. investigating D. revenging54. A. agreement B. implement C. requirement D. argument55. A. passionate B. reasonable C. confused D. ridiculousSection A(A)We see them everywhere. ―There are some things that money can’t buy… for everything else, there’s MasterCard.‖ We hear them everywhere. ―Make life rewarding… American Express.‖ Whether watching television, driving down the highw ay, or even appearing on our Facebook page, the appeal of money is inescapable.Growing up, my parents always emphasized the importance of family and faith over material possessions. Yet, money and all the new, interesting things it could buy did not escape me. As I entered my freshman year, my debit card and I engaged in quite the dates. Between game-day dresses, steak dinners and wonderful downtown Athens, I quickly drained 17 years worth of savings.41. A. secretly B. unintentionally C. scarcely D. consciously 42. A. required B. qualified C. acquired D. prepared 43. A. concerns B. complains C. conclude D. convinces44. A. turn down B. engage in C. refer to D. argue abouBy the time summer rolled around, I didn’t consider how much cash I had spent, or how much stuff I had acquired… I was focused on how much more money I would need for next fall. When I wasn’t working, I was checking my bank account, try to figure out if m y next paycheck would cover those pillows that would look so cute in my new apartment. My bank account balance was becoming a major source of stress in my life, creating tension with my financially smart parents and causing me constant concern. Finally, after a very heated argument with my Dad, I accepted the truth: I simply could not afford money anymore.I realized that I was much happier (and I sensed my blood pressure was much lower) when money was just something in the bank. While the clothes are pretty and those pillows are comfy, they lost their appeal right around the second a new item caught my eye. Towards the end of the summer, I let go of my financial issues –a fter all, I can’t buy more time with my friends and family before going back to Athens.I still check my bank account. I still go shopping occasionally. But now, those aren’t priorities. My money sufferings taught me that I shouldn’t seek out wealth as a m eans of satisfaction and happiness. Instead, my happiness should come from the moments and people that cannot be bought, exchanged, or returned. I now re-word those credit card slogans to reflect the value I place on finding wealth in the love shared betwe en my family and friends: ―There are some things that money can’t buy… Seek them.‖ Unlike cash, this form of wealth grows the more I give.56.A ccording to the passage, the author feels happy now mainly because .A.the appeal of money is inescapableB.he values the love between his family and friendsC.his wealth grows by working hard every dayD.he has paid off his debt in cash57.T he author mentions the heated argument with Dad in paragraph 3 in order to .A.show how to settle problems with othersB.prove how selfish his Dad isC.explain material possessions get him into troubleD.display generation gap between Dad and Son58.T he word ―comfy‖ (paragraph 4) probably means .A.realisticB.individualC.graciousfortable59.W hich of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Seeking a different kind of wealthB.Letting go of different sufferingsC.Wealth as a means of satisfactionD.Happiness grows out of hardships(B)Americans are more stressed than ever, according to an American Psychological Association survey, and nearly one-third say stress impacts their physical or mental health. If you have any of these symptoms, your stress might be making you sick. Here’s how t o battle against them.If you’ve never suffered from headaches bu t suddenly your head is constantly striking, you might be too stressed. Stress releases chemicals that can cause changes to nerves and blood vessels(血管) in the brain, which brings on a headache. Stress can cause them or make them worse. It’s also common fo r your muscles to tense up when you’re stressed, which can also cause a headache.WHAT TO DO:If you don’t want to take medicine, try spreading lavender (薰衣草)oil on your temples(太阳穴)when a headache starts. Or try one of thesehome remedies for headaches.Stress can make you mentally sick, too. Too much of the stress hormonecortisol (皮质醇)can make it harder to concentrate, causingmemory problems as well as anxiety or depression, says Dr. Levine.WHAT TO DO:Relax until you regain your concentration. Practice closing your eyes and breathing in and out slowly, concentrating only on your breath.Losing a few strands of hair is normal (old hair follicles (囊)arereplaced by new ones over time), but stress can disturb that cycle.Significant stress p ushes a large number of hair follicles into what’scalled a resting stage and then a few months later those hairs fall out,according to . Stress can als o cause the body’s resistantsystem to attack your hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.WHAT TO DO:Be patient. Once your stress level returns to normal, your hair should start growing back.60.If you’re stressed, you might have one of the following sympto ms EXCEPT that .A.you keep getting headachesB.you always have a coldC.your hair is falling outD.your brain feels confused61.W hich of the following is suggested if your brain goes out of focus?A.Breathing slowly with your eyes closed.B.Waiting until your brain returns to normal.C.Spreading lavender oil on your temples.D.Relaxing and attacking your brain softly.62.W hat will happen once we get over our stress according to the passage?A.Our hair starts falling out and then grows back.B.Ou r body’s resistant system attacks your hair folliclesC.Our hair starts growing again.D.A serious headache starts.(C)For many in the general public and the engineering community alike, the potential implications of additive manufacturing (AM) have excited the imagination. Popularly known as 3-D printing, the emerging class of technologies has been regarded as both a revolution in production and an opportunity for dramatic environmental advance.Yet while the technological capabilities of additive manufacturing processes are studied extensively, a deep understanding of their environmental implications is still lacking.A new special issue of Yale’s Journal of Industrial Ecology presents the cutting-edge research on this emerging field, providing important insights into its environmental, energy, and health impacts.Though sometimes described in the public field as similar to an inkjet printer for making objects, additive manufacturing is primarily used as a production process in industry and contains a diverse set of technologies. What they share is the ability to produce products and parts based on digital information by adding layers of materials one after the other rather than, as in traditional manufacturing, removing materials –thus the label ―additive.‖―The research in this issue shows that it is too early to label 3-D printing as the path to sustainable manufacturing,‖ said Reid Lifset, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Industrial Ecology and co-author of the lead editorial. ―We need to know much more about the material footprints, energy consumption in production, process emissions, a nd especially the linking devices and adjustments between the various stages in the production process.‖Additive manufacturing is sometimes seen as inherently environmentally preferable to traditional manufacturing because of its potential for local production – by consumers, merchants and hobbyists – and because it is thought to allow zero-waste manufacturing. Research in this issue, however, indicates that the environmental performance is very sensitive to the pattern of usage and composition of the machinery and the materials used.―This special issue demonstrates the capability of industrial ecology to reveal important and often overlooked aspects of new technologies,‖ said Indy Burke, Dean of the Yale School of Forestry & Enviro nmental Studies. ―If we are to realize the environmental potential of 3-D printing, we need to know where the challenges and the advantages lie.‖The special issue contains:life cycle assessments (LCA) of AM processes and productsinvestigations of the process energy consumption of AM technologiesstudies of operator exposure to printer emissions and dangerous materialsexamination of the sustainability benefits derived from the complex figure of parts enabled by the technologyanalysis of supply-chain issues arising from the use of the technology63.The word ―additive‖ in the passage refers to .A.the substance added in small amounts for a special purposeB.the additional technological capabilities of manufacturing processesC.the digital way to produce products by adding serial layers of materialsD.t he traditional way to produce products by removing materials64.The contents listed in the special issue mentioned at the end of this passage focus on.A.the studies of additive manufacturing and sustainabilityB.a diverse set of technologies of additive manufacturingC.the comparison between additive and traditional manufacturingD.the experiments conducted by Journal of Industrial Ecology65.Which of the follo wing can be inferred about the researchers’ viewpoint from the p assage?A.3-D printing is viewed as a revolution in production.B.3-D printing is regarded as a kind of sustainable manufacturing.C.AM makes a harmful impact on environment, energy, and health.D.The challenges and advantages of AM need further studies.66.The passage mainly discusses .A.investigations of the 3-D printing processB.the environmental implications of 3-D printingC. studies of 3-D printing emissions and materialsD.assessments of additive manufacturing processesSection CA.The findings show that they also apply criticism to nontraditional women’s husbands.B.He is also regarded as having less power in the relationship.C.These include having a higher status, yielding more power, being more self-focused, ambitious and self-confident.D.The married surname tradition is more than just a tradition.E.Up to now, researchers have not yet examined how a woman’s married surname cho ice influences howothers look at her husband.F.W omen’s rightist scholars understand why the surname tradition remains widely supported.What does it mean for the husband when his wife keeps her own surname?The tradition of women adopting their husbands’ s urname after marriage is arguably one of the most widespread gender-role standards in Western cultures despite marked changes in the role that women play in society and in the labor force.According to previous studies, women who violate the married surname tradition are viewed differently from others. They are described in terms of instrumental characteristics that in a gendered society are typically assigned to men. 67 These characteristics contrast with the expressive characteristics that are typically assigned to women, such as being more caring, kind and having less influence and power.68 For this purpose, Robnett and her colleagues carried out three studies in the US and UK. The first two studies showed that husbands whose wives keep their own surnames are often described through terms that are opposed to the gender-typical personality characteristics and power framework used for men. They are described in more expressive than instrumental terms, and are seen to hold less power in a marriage. Their findings indicate that people conclude from married surname choices to make more general in ferences about a couple’s g ender-typed personality characteristics.Results from the third study conducted by Robnett’s team suggest that people hold different opinions in how they think about such cases. People who firmly hold on to traditional gender roles react particularly strongly to a man whose wife keeps her surname because they see him as an incapable person. ―We know from previous research that people high in unfriendly sexism(蔑视女性)respond negatively to women who violate traditional g ender roles,‖ says Robnett. ― 69 ‖―This study joins several others in implying a link between traditions in men and women’s romantic relationships and power structures favoring men,‖ says Robnett. ― 70 It reflects slight gender-role standards and ideas that often remain unquestioned despit e privileging men.‖Secure payment without leaving a traceComputer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the ―Signaling Code and Security‖ working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties.The expert has now presented the basics of an ―electronic purse‖ that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The ―black-box addition plus‖ (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account.―Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers dur ing offline operation as well,‖ Andy Rupp says. ―This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.‖ Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second.V.Translation72.他仍难以用英语表达自己的想法。

For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1) “Britain’s best export,” I was told by the Department of Immigration in Canberra, “is people.”Close on 100,000 people have applied for assisted passages in the first five months of the year, and half of these are eventually expected to migrate to Australia.(2) The Australian are delighted. They are keenly aware that without a strong flow of immigrants into the workforce the development of the Australian economy is unlikely to proceed at the ambitious pace currently envisaged. The new mineral discoveries promise a splendid future, and the injection of huge amounts of American and British capital should help to ensure that they are properly exploited, but with unemployment in Australia down to less than 1.3 per cent, the government is understandably anxious to attract more skilled labor.(3) Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, but has only twelve million inhabitants. Migration has accounted for half the population increase in the last four years, and has contributed greatly to the country’s impressive economic development. Britain has always been the principal source—ninety percent of Australians are of British descent, and Britain has provided one million migrants since the Second World War.(4) Australia has also given great attention to recruiting people elsewhere. Australians decided they had an excellent potential source of applicants among the so-called “guest workers” who have crossed their own frontiers to work in other parts of Europe. There were estimated to be more than four million of them, and a large number were offered subsidized passages and guaranteed jobs in Australia. Italy has for some years been the second biggest source of migrants, and the Australians have also managed to attract a large number of Greeks and Germans.(5) One drawback with them, so far as the Australians are concerned, is that integration tends to be more difficult. Unlike the British, continental migrants have to struggle with an unfamiliar language and new customs. Many naturally gravitate towards the Italian or Greek communities which have grown up in cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. These colonies have their own newspapers, their own shops, and their own clubs. Their inhabitants are not Australians, but Europeans.(6) The government’s avowed aim, however, is to maintain “a substantially homogeneous society into which newcomers, from whatever sources, will merge themselves”. By and large, therefore, Australia still prefers British migrants, and tends to be rather less selective in their case than it is with others.(7) A far bigger cause of concerns than the growth of national groups, however, is the increasing number of migrants who return to their countries of origin. One reason is that people nowadays tend to be more mobile, and that it is easier than in the past to save the return fare, but economic conditions also have something to do with it. A slower rate of growth invariably produces discontent—and if this coincides with greater prosperity in Europe, a lot of people tend to feel that perhaps they were wrong to come here after all.(8) Several surveys have been conducted recently into the reasons why people go home. One noted that “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”. Another survey gave climate conditions, homesickness, and “the stark appearance of the Australian countryside” as the main reasons for leaving.(9) Most British migrants miss council housing the National Health scheme, and their relatives and former neighbor. Loneliness is a big factor, especially among housewives. 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.”(10) Rents 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. Above all, perhaps, skilled immigrants often find a considerable reluctance to accept their qualifications.(11) According 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. As a matter of fact, we are so busy blowing our own trumpets that we have not got time to be warm-hearted and considerate. Go down ‘heart-break alley’among some of the migrants and find out just how expansive the Aussie is to his immigrants.”11. The Australians want a strong flow of immigrants because ____________.A. Immigrants speed up economic expansionB. unemployment is down to a low figureC. immigrants attract foreign capitalD. Australia is as large as the United States12. A ustralia prefers immigrants from Britain because ____________.A. they are selected carefully before entryB. they are likely to form national groupsC. they easily merge into local communitiesD. they are fond of living in small towns13. I n explaining why some migrants return to Europe the author ____________.A. stresses their economic motivesB. emphasizes the variety of their motivesC. stresses loneliness and homesicknessD. emphasizes the difficulties of men over forty14. W hich of the following words is used literally, not metaphorically?A. “flow” (Para.2).B. “injection? (Para. 2).C. “gravitate” (Para. 5).D. “selective” (Para. 6).15. P ara. 11 pictures the Australians as ____________.A. unsympatheticB. ungenerousC. undemonstrativeD. unreliable PASSAGE TWO(1) Some of the advantages of bilingualism include better performance at tasks involving “executive function” (which involves the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize), better defense against dementia in old age and—the obvious—the ability to speak a second language. One purported advantage was not mentioned, though. Many multilinguals report different personalities, or even different worldviews, when they speak their different languages.(2) It’s an exciting notion, the idea that one’s very self could be broadened by the mastery of two or more languages. In obvious ways (exposure to new friends, literature and so forth) the self really isbroadened. Y et it is different to claim—as many people do—to have a different personality when using a different language. A former Economist colleague, for example, reported being ruder in Hebrew than in English. So what is going on here?(3) Benjamin Lee Whorf, an American linguist who died in 1941, held that each language encodes a worldview that significantly influences its speakers. Often called “Whorfianism”, this idea has its sceptics, but there are still good reasons to believe language shapes thought.(4) This influence is not necessarily linked to the vocabulary or grammar of a second language. Significantly, most people are not symmetrically bilingual. Many have learned one language at home from parents, and another later in life, usually at school. So bilinguals usually have different strengths and weaknesses in their different languages—and they are not always best in their first language. For example, when tested in a foreign language, people are less likely to fall into a cognitive trap (answering a test question with an obvious-seeming but wrong answer) than when tested in their native language. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking them. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter, in the language they were reared in from childhood.(5) What of “crib”bilinguals, raised in two languages? Even they do not usually have perfectly symmetrical competence in their two languages. But even for a speaker whose two languages are very nearly the same in ability, there is another big reason that person will feel different in the two languages. This is because there is an important distinction between bilingualism and biculturalism.(6) Many bilinguals are not bicultural. But some are. And of those bicultural bilinguals, we should be little surprised that they feel different in their two languages. Experiments in psychology have shown the power of “priming”—small unnoticed factors that can affect behavior in big ways. Asking people to tell a happy story, for example, will put them in a better mood. The choice between two languages is a huge prime. Speaking Spanish rather than English, for a bilingual and bicultural Puerto Rican in New Y ork, might conjure feelings of family and home. Switching to English might prime the same person to think of school and work.(7) So there are two very good reasons (asymmetrical ability, and priming) that make people feel different speaking their different languages. We are still left with a third kind of argument, though. An economist recently interviewed here at Prospero, Athanasia Chalari, said for example that: Greeks are very loud and they interrupt each other very often. The reason for that is the Greek grammar and syntax. When Greeks talk, they begin their sentences with verbs and the form of the verb includes a lot of information so you already know what they are talking about after the first word and can interrupt more easily.(8) Is there something intrinsic to the Greek language that encourages Greeks to interrupt? People seem to enjoy telling tales about their languages’inherent properties, and how they influence their speakers. A group of French intellectual worthies once proposed, rather self-flatteringly, that French be the sole legal language of the EU, because of its supposedly unmatchable rigor and precision. Some Germans believe that frequently putting the verb at the end of a sentence makes the language especially logical. But language myths are not always self-flattering: many speakers think their languages are unusually illogical or difficult—witness the plethora of books along the lines of “Only in English do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway; English must be the craziest language in the world!” We also see some unsurprising overlap with national stereotypes and self-stereotypes: French, rigorous; German, logical; English, playful. Of course.(9) In this case, Ms. Chalari, a scholar, at least proposed a specific and plausible line of causationfrom grammar to personality: in Greek, the verb comes first, and it carries a lot of information, hence easy interrupting. The problem is that many unrelated languages all around the world put the verb at the beginning of sentences. Many languages all around the world are heavily inflected, encoding lots of information in verbs. It would be a striking finding if all of these unrelated languages had speakers more prone to interrupting each other. Welsh, for example, is also both verb-first and about as heavily inflected as Greek, but the Welsh are not known as pushy conversationalists.16. A ccording to the author, which of the following advantages of bilingualism is commonly accepted?A. Personality improvement.B. Better task performance.C. Change of worldviews.D. Avoidance of old-age disease.17. A ccording to the passage, that language influences thought may be related to ____________.A. the vocabulary of a second languageB. the grammar of a second languageC. the improved test performance in a second languageD. the slowdown of thinking in a second language18. W hat is the author’s response to the question at the beginning of Para. 8?A. It’s just one of the popular tales of national stereotypes.B. Some properties inherent can make a language logical.C. German and French are good examples of Whorfianism.D. There is adequate evidence to support a positive answer.19. W hich of the following statements concerning Para. 9 is correct?A. Ms. Chalari’s theory about the Greek language is well grounded.B. Speakers of many other languages are also prone to interrupting.C. Grammar is unnecessarily a condition for change in personality.D. Many unrelated languages don’t have the same features as Greek.20. I n discussing the issue, the author’s attitude is ____________.A. satiricalB. objectiveC. criticalD. ambivalent PASSAGE THREE(1) Once across the river and into the wholesale district, she glanced about her for some likely door at which to apply. As she contemplated the wide windows and imposing signs, she became conscious of being gazed upon and understood for what she was—a wage-seeker. She had never done this thing before and lacked courage. To avoid conspicuity and a certain indefinable shame she felt at being caught spying about for some place where she might apply for a position, she quickened her steps and assumed an air of indifference supposedly common to one upon an errand. In this way she passed many manufacturing and wholesale houses without once glancing in. At last, after several blocks of walking, she felt that this would not do, and began to look about again, though without relaxing her pace. A little way on she saw a great door which, for some reason attracted her attention. It was ornamented by a small brass sign, and seemed to be the entrance to a vast hive of six or seven floors. “Perhaps,” she thought, “they may want someone,” and crossed over to enter, screwing up her courage as she went. When she came within a score of feet of the desired goal, she observed a young gentleman in a grey clerk suit, fumbling his watch-chain and looking out. That he had anything to do with the concern she could not tell, but because he happened to be looking in her direction, her weakening heart misgave her and she hurried by, too overcome with shame to enter in. After several blocks of walking, in which the uproar of the streets and the novelty ofthe situation had time to wear away the effect of her first defeat, she again looked about. Over the way stood a great six-story structure labeled “Storm and King,” which she viewed with rising hope. It was a wholesale dry goods concern and employed women. She could see them moving about now and then upon the upper floors. This place she decided to enter, no matter what. She crossed over and walked directly toward the entrance. As she did so two men came out and paused in the door. A telegraph messenger in blue dashed past her and up the few steps which graced the entrance and disappeared. Several pedestrians out of the hurrying throng which filled the sidewalks passed about her as she paused, hesitating. She looked helplessly around and then, seeing herself observed, retreated. It was too difficult a task. She could not go past them.(2) So severe a defeat told sadly upon her nerves. She could scarcely understand her weakness and yet she could not think of gazing inquiringly about upon the surrounding scene. Her feet carried her mechanically forward, every foot of her progress being a satisfactory portion of a flight which she gladly made. Block after block passed by. Upon streetlamps at the various corners she read names such as Madison, Monroe, La Salle, Clark, Dearborn; and still she went, her feet beginning to tire upon the broad stone flagging. She was pleased in part that the streets were bright and clean. The morning sun shining down with steadily increasing warmth made the shady side of the streets pleasantly cool. She looked at the blue sky overhead with more realization of its charm than had ever come to her before.(3) Her cowardice began to trouble her in a way. She turned back along the street she had come, resolving to hunt up Storm and King and enter. On the way she encountered a great wholesale shoe company, through the broad plate windows of which she saw an enclosed executive department, hidden by frosted glass. Without this enclosure, but just within the street entrance, sat a grey-haired gentleman at a small table, with a large open ledger of some kind before him. She walked by this institution several times hesitating, but finding herself unobserved she eventually gathered sufficient courage to falter past the screen door and stood humble waiting.(4) “Well, young lady,” observed the old gentleman, looking at her somewhat kindly—“what is it you wish?”(5) “I am, that is, do you—I mean, do you need any help?” she stammered.(6) “Not just at present,” he answered smiling. “Not just at present. Come in some time next week. Occasionally we need someone.”(7) She received the answer in silence and backed awkwardly out. The pleasant nature of her reception rather astonished her. She had expected that it would be more difficult, that something cold and harsh would be said—she knew not what. That she had not been put to shame and made to feel her unfortunate position seemed remarkable. She did not realize that it was just this which made her experience easy, but the result was the same. She felt greatly relieved.(8) Somewhat encouraged, she ventured into another large structure. It was a clothing company, and more people were in evidence.(9) An office boy approached her.(10) “Who is it you wish to see?” he asked.(11) “I want to see the manager,” she returned.(12) He ran away and spoke to one of a group of three men who were conferring together. One broke off an came towards her.(13) “Well?” he said, coldly. The greeting drove all courage from her at once.(14) “Do you need any help?” she stammered.(15) “No,” he replied abruptly and turned upon his heel.(16) She went foolishly out, the office boy deferentially swinging the door for her, and gladly sank into the obscuring crowd. It was a severe set-back to her recently pleased mental state.21. S he quickened her steps because she ____________.A. was afraid of being seen as a strangerB. was in a hurry to leave the districtC. wanted to look like someone working thereD. wanted to apply at more factories that day22.

Have you ever noticed tiny raised areas on the branches of a tree? These may have been insects. These small insects feed on tree sap (汁液). Insects on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees. As a result, urban trees suffer from heavy infestations (害虫横行), and are often unhealthy or die. To protect and restore urban trees' health, we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.Living organisms interact closely with their environment. The warmer, more drought﹣stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler, less drought﹣stressed trees. As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier, damaging insects will become more abundant on urban trees.Trees within urban forests are valuable economically and for the environmental sustainability (可持续性) of the region. More than half of the world's population lives in cities. Across the globe, people are moving into cities at a faster rate than ever.Rapid growth may turn cities into places with harder conditions. Although cities are primarily made of buildings, roads, parking lots, and vehicles, there are still plants in them. The trees within a city are referred to as the urban forest. Urban forests offer very big benefits to human and environmental health. They improve air and waterquality, provide habitat for wildlife. cool down temperatures air and waterquality, provide habitat for wildlife, cool down temperatures and beautify our environment. They make cities livable.However, being a city tree is not easy. Heat released by human activities is trapped in cities. As a result, temperatures in urban areas are often warmer than their surrounding rural areas. We call this urban warming or the urban heat island effect. Urban habitats are mostly made of surfaces of asphalt (沥青) and concrete. These surfaces reduce the amount of rainwater that reaches tree roots. As a result, urban forests may suffer, which can negatively affect people and the environment.What can we do to restore urban forests? Regular ________ when possible may help keep pest populations under control. Planting tree species that are suitable to handle heat and drought stress would also reduce the occurrence of insect pest outbreaks.(1)Why do urban trees suffer from heavier infestations?________A Because urban insects are more abundant.B Because more people have come to cities.C Because more tree sap can be fed on.D Because cities become hotter and drier.(2)What causes the urban heat island effect according to the text?________A The use of asphalt and concrete.B The lack of unban forests.C The heat that is trapped in urban areas.D The lower temperatures in rural areas.(3)Which of the following word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5?________ A Inspection. B Watering. C Pest killing. D Tree planting.(4)What would be the author's purpose of writing the text?________A Call for people to protect urban trees.B Display the importance of urbantrees. C Tell us methods to protect urban trees. D Show how to solve the urban warming.3. One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going onthe Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn't it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned (皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercisingthe brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: "I find it very relaxing. It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate."Another development that has favored "grey gamers" is a change in the type of video games available on the market. There's a greater variety of games to choosefrom, including more intellectual and complex strategy(策略)and simulation(模拟)games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real﹣world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict﹣timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that "grey gamers" simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn't be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the "grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, "grey gamers" have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.(1)What is the common attitude like towards the old in using modern technology?________A Objective.B Prejudiced.C Supportive.D Doubtful.(2)What does the "grey gamers" refer to in the text?________A The old who don't like computer games.B The teenagers skilled in computer games.C The aged computer game players.D The young computer game lovers.(3)What is "the truth" in the last paragraph?________A Computer games are not suitable for the elder.B The teenagers are surely better ingames skills. C The old are much less skilled in games. D The old are better in some games skills.(4)Which of the following can be the best title of the text?________A Who are Better Gamers, the Old or the Young?.B What "Grey Gamers" Like and Dislike.C Computer Games Unfit for the Old?.D How Computer Games Develop.4. Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. "It'sthe ocean that makes Rockaway so special, " she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attackedthe East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie' s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so damaged thatshe had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high﹣rise buildings."My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me, " Natalie says. "But I can always choose how I deal with it."Natalie' s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick' s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots ofkids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a newkeyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much﹣need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to theWhite House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. "I can' t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway, " Natalie declares. "My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before."(1)What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 and 2?________A Hurricane Sandy widely swept throughout the US.B There is a bridge linking Rockaway and Brooklyn.C Rockaway is located in the West Coast.D Natalie shows deep affection to Brooklyn.(2)What does Paragraph 4 mainly show?________A People acted to rebuild Rockaway.B Natalie helped Rockawayrebuild.

Journey to Mecca: In the Footsteps of Ibn BattutaIbn Battuta is considered one of the world's greatest travellers. During the 14th century, he travelled about 75, 000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love oftravel. To share the learning and research so highly valued by Islamic (伊斯兰教的)culture, the ruler of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta's worldwide travels recorded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Moroccan Court Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta's experiences. His travel journal, The Rihla, documents this extraordinary achievement. It gives us a first﹣hand account of life in the 14th﹣century Muslim world. The original book, handwritten in Arabic, can be viewed today at the National Library in Paris.The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim traveller. It was nearing the end of the Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history. Caravansand sea lanes created transportation and communication networks that spread across continents, including Europe, Africa and Asia. Towns and cities were regularly visited bymerchants, traders, doctors, artists, craftsmen, scholars and pilgrims (朝圣者) carrying goods and ideas. All of these promoted the exchange of goods and ideas on a scale not seen previously in world history. As an educated man with professional legal skills, Ibn Battuta enjoyed kindness, companionship and offers of employment throughout the Islamic world. Journey to Mecca describes the 5, 000﹣mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hometown Tangier, Morocco, to reach Mecca, in what is now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to make the pilgrimage. During this dangerous and awesome 18﹣month pilgrimage, he met many ________ as he was attacked by robbers, troubled by thirst, and forced to go back to his route due to war along the Red Sea. Joining the legendary Damascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims leaving for Mecca, he completed the final section of what would be his first of six journeys to Mecca.The goal of the film, Journey to Mecca, was to tell the remarkable story of Ibn Battuta andto promote a better understanding of Islam in the West, said the producers.(1). We can conclude that Abu Inan Faris probably thought Ibn Battuta's travel experiences________.A precious B. C mysterious D.(2). What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the text?________A He wrote the travel journal, The Rihla, by himself.B He travelled all the way with the legendary Damascus Caravan during his first journey.C He was a very successful businessman.D He had to overcome varieties of difficulties while traveling.(3). The underlined word "hindrances" in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by "________".A tricks B. C barriers D.(4). In which section of a newspaper can we possibly find this passage?________A History B. C Economy D.3. How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school. Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13, 800 children who wereborn at full﹣term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six."Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly﹣born baby suggests more rapid brain growth, " says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, "Overall, newly﹣born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children."Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly﹣born babies. "We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies' life, " Dr. Smithers said."The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding."(1). The study mainly shows that________.A head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B babies' heads grow quickly during the first month.C full﹣term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies.D the more weight newly﹣born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.(2). How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?________A By asking questions.B By making comparison.C By having a discussion.D By referring to documents.(3). According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that________.A a kid's verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.B this study helps parents find feeding problems.C quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbalIQ. D this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.(4). The study differs from previous ones that________.A it associates early postnatal diet with IQ.B it pays attention to the IQ of newly﹣born babies.C it emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.D it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.4. That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the 4Tirst﹣nighf, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first﹣night effect probably has something to do with how humansevolved.The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35healthy people as they slept inthe unfamiliar environment of the university's Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants' brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re﹣ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(1). What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?________A She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.D She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns.(2). What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?________A She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a newenvironment. B She recruited (招募) 35participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C She studied the differences between the two sides of participants' brains. D She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.(3). What did Dr. Sasaki do when re﹣running her experiment?________A She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B She recorded participants' adaptation to changed environment.C She exposed her participants totwo different stimuli (刺激物). D She compared the responses of different participants.(4). What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?________A They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C They felt sleepy when exposed to regularbeeps. D They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.5.

Russia 2018: World Cup Travel Guide
The draw(抽签) has been ended and England is still having a chance. Here’s how to follow the team:
◆When is it?
June 14 to July 15, 2018. England’s group matches are on June 18, 24 and 28.
◆How do you get tickets?
There are no travel packages including tickets, so you’ll have to get them yourself. Apply at /tickets;you’ll need your passport number. Prices range from £78 for the cheap seats at the group stages to £815 for the best seats at the final.
◆How do you get there?
British Airways flies directly to Moscow and St Petersburg, but return fares are already about £750. Aeroflot looks cheaper( about £300)—for now. But the best deals will be on indirect flights, through a country that hasn’t been selected for the World Cup: try Finnair via Helsinki, Air Baltic via Riga or Austrian via Vienna.
◆What about a visa(签证)?
Good news: if you’ve got a match ticket, you don’t need to brave the complicated Russian visa system. Instead , use your ticket number to get a Fan ID , a card that acts as your visa. Pair it with a passport and a match ticket , and you can enter the country from June 4 and stay until July 25. Apply at fan-id. ru.
◆Where do you stay?
There are plenty of rooms available in England’s group-stage venues: at the time of going to press, Booking. com had match day rooms near the centre of Nizhny Novgorod for £124 a night , while Airbnb had a one-bedroom apartment near the city’s Kremlin for £105.
◆What else should you know?
Currency Exchange money in Russia. You’ll get good rates in the big cities, and even at the airport.
21. How can you spend the least on your airline ticket?
A. By flying directly from Britain.
B. By taking the Russian airline of Aeroflot.
C. By flying via a country that hasn’t qualified.
D. By choosing the cheapest tickets in other countries.
22. Which of the following has become more convenient for the trip than before?
