上海市2013届高三一模考试英语汇编解答题Word版无答案
2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——简答（长宁）“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.”Although this might be excellent advice in matters concerning family and friends, borrowing and lending are frequently the foundation of a booming economy.A loan is a sum of money borrowed for a limited period. A loan may be obtained from an individual or from an institution such as a bank and is generally granted at a specific rate of interest. Interest is the fee that the borrower pays to use the money. An extremely high rate of interest --- and certainly any amount more than law permits --- is called usury. Lending money can be a risky business, for there is always the possibility that the borrower may not be able to pay the loan. For this reason, a lender generally requires the borrower to register something valuable of his or hers, known as collateral (抵押), as a part of the loan agreement. A house or an automobile, investments in the stock market, even the value of a business, are all examples of collateral that a lender may be willing to accept in the event that the borrower fails to pay the loan.There are two major sorts of loans: consumer loans and commercial loans. A consumer loan is one that is made to an individual, and it may be to buy a house or an automobile or to finance an education. A commercial loan may be used to start a new business, pay for new equipment and staff, or expand an office or factory. The business of making loans also contributes to a healthy economy by enhancing the employment market. Loans allow consumers to buy and improve homes, creating jobs for carpenters, architects and etc. Loans enable businesses to expand, and when these businesses open a branch office or a new store, they also increase their consumption of office supplies, furnishings, and computers.In a booming economy, money circulates quickly, and each deal represents earnings for someone. It may be reasonable to say that a certain level of debt is normal, even necessary, to a healthy economy as long as the individual borrower or business is careful and try not to take on more than a manageable amount of debt.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” is excellent advice for keeping good family and friendswhile it is __________.82.What is the purpose of collateral in a loan agreement?83.Different from commercial loans, consumer loans may be used to __________.84.How can the individual borrower or business profit from a booming economy?81. not for building / developing a booming / fast-growing economy82. To prevent the borrower from not paying the loan. / …83. fulfill / achieve the purpose of personal development / …84. By being careful and avoiding being in too much debt / …（闸北）A son in many developing countries means insurance, who will inherit his father's property and help support the family. However, to parents, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy. Her future is, to some extent, shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater, which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.Deep discrimination (歧视)against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential. It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm. These “servants of the household" come to accept that li fe will never be any different. What's most harmful, it results not only in millions of individual tragedies, but also in the lost potential for the entire country. Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress. The status of women is central to the health of a society. If one part suffers, so does the whole.To deal with the situation, many women turn to education. Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination, starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women. Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia, for instance, are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later, survive childbirth, have fewer and healthier children, and make sure their own children complete school. Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生）and nutrition, they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.Nevertheless, the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education. As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs, they gain status in their communities, which translates into the power to influence their families and societies. Such power may, together with other forces of outside interference, make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries?82. The most severe result of discrimination against women is ________________________.83. Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy?84. High social position at home helps women to have the ability to ________________________.81. Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater.82. the lost potential for the entire country83. Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition.84. influence their families and societies（杨浦）Pizza Hut lovers, you can now smell just like your favorite food. Pizza Hut launches its own perfume that smells like a fresh pizza pie. This is not a joke — although it started as one! While it might seem like an unusual venture for the brand famous for pizza, the company’s perfume is already available as a limited edition product. fuck myselfAccording to the Globe and Mail, the project started out as a joke by Grip Limited, an advertising firm that works with Pizza Hut in Canada, who asked the chai n’s Facebook fans to imagine the pleasant smell of a fresh-delivered pie as a perfume — and to name it. Fans responded to the idea so enthusiastically that Grip Limited decided to take the joke a step further and make the perfume a reality.A month and a half later, to celebrate that Pizza Hut Canada had gotten 100,000 fans, the chain’s community managers announced that the first 100 people to message them would actually get a bottle of Pizza Hut perfume. And sure enough, the bottles were shipped to those 100 lucky fans before Christmas.Grip Limited isn’t the only company to attract attention with odd aromas (芳香). Four years ago, Burger King offered a $4 meat-scented body spray for men. Before that in 2006, Stilton created a perfume meant to mimic (模拟) the scent of blue cheese.Pizza Hut Canada has not announced any plans to make more of the perfume in the future. But the chain also said in the release that it’s possible the perfume could appear in stores in the future. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

Now a new study conducted by researchers at HofstraUniversity — the results of which are set to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies — finds similar benefits of gratitude for adolescents as well.Dr. Jeffrey J. Froh, assistant professor of psychology and lead researcher of the new study, surveyed 1,035 students aged from 14 to 19 and found that grateful students reported higher grades, more life satisfaction, better social integration and less envy and depression than their peers who were less thankful and more materialistic. Additionally, feelings of gratitude had a more powerful impact on the students’ lives overall than materialism.What the majority of the research suggests is that gratitude should be chronic（长期的）in order to make a lasting difference in well-being. Dr. Robert Emmons, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a pioneer in gratitude research, told the WSJ that in orderto reap（收获）all of its benefits, feeling gratitude must be rooted into your personality, and you must frequently acknowledge and be thankful for the role other people play in your happiness: “The key is not to leave it on the Thanksgiving table,” he said.For older children and adults, one simple way to cultivate gratitude is to literally count your blessings. Keep a journal and regularly record whatever you are grateful for that day. Be specific. Listing “my friends, my school, my dog” day after day means that “gratitude tiredness” has set in, Dr. Froh says. Writing “my dog licked my face when I was sad” keeps it fresher. The real benefit comes in changin g how you experience the world. Look for things to be grateful for, and you’ll start seeing them.Studies show that using negative, insulting words — even as you talk to yourself — can darken your mood, as well. Fill your head with positive thoughts, express thanks and encouragement aloud and look for something to be grateful for, not criticize, in those around you, especially loved ones.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. According to the article in t he Wall Street Journal, people who don’t maintain an “attitude of gratitude” tend to be ______________.82. What are the major findings of the new study at Hofstra University about?83. According to the passage, how can people probably avoid “gratitude tiredness”?84. In order not to darken our moods, we’d better stop ________________.81. less happy and healthy82. Benefits of gratitude for adolescents. / Adolescents benefit from feeling gratitude.83.

It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, weselected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the itinerary, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport / train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding THE transportation despite obvious communication issues since we did not speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, as we visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What made the couple choose China Highlights during their visit to China?82. The overseas visitors were satisfied with China Highlights services except ___________________.83. During their visit, not only the sights but also ________________ made a great impression on them.84. How did China Highlights improve its quality of service after the visitors finished their journey?25.That China Highlights was very helpful and supportive.25.changing final journey during the visit.25.the knowledgeable and helpful guides and the driver25.It followed up to get any feedback / It addressed some minor issues that visitors cited（青浦）Oscar-winning director Ang Lee’s new epic “Life of Pi” reve als the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators（食肉动物） are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people’s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline to 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near the Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.“The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,” grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. “The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don’t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to.”India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. “The tiger’s rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go all out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict,” says a wildlife conservationist.Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. “Tigers never kill for s port nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. ”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words)81. PETA hopes “Life of Pi” can __________________________________.82. Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?83. As a result of the loss of habitat, __________________________________ are more likely to bethe big cat’s victims.84. When will tigers attack and kill people according to the article?81. focus people’s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.82. Because it was suspected to have attacked a local fisherman83. livestock and human beings84. When (they are) hungry or attacked.（普陀）A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from clonedcattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risks.But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of（谨慎的）food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based assessment.”It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?81. FDA concluded foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are safe .82. the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk.83. human health, moral, religious and ethical84. They will be allowed to be labeled as not from clones.（浦东）We delight in the stories passed down to us by older generations.Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ true personalities that wedidn’t know before and can unite family members. But they are stilljust small pieces from a lifetime of experience, leaving a wealth ofpersonal memories and stories that can go untold.A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail in elegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.’Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happy because I have given my father this huge gift. It has made him happier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s go t more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.’‘Also it’s something he can hand down to future generations.We’re all thrilled with the book, delighted —and I’m sure he’llwant to do volume two very soon.’(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOMORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. Tales from the past generations can not only ___________________.82. What does the company, LifeBook, do in those special books?83. Linden’s father started to look forward to the meetings with the interviewer because_________.84. Besides a project to focus on, what else can creating a LifeBook bring its author?81. reveal our loved ones’ true personalities but also unite family members82. It helps capture the rich, personal histories of our loved ones.83. someone was showing interest in him outside the family84. The benefits of face-to-face companionship.（闵行）At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly (不守规矩的) students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, excellent candidates for the teaching profession declined.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What are many teachers in the public schools of America complaining about?82. What is the consequence of the public school teachers’ leaving the profession?83. The changing status of women in the United States is one of the causes for women to________________________.84. According to the last paragraph, the status of the teachers in the United Sateswill _____________________ within years.81. low pay / being under-paid / not being well-paid82. causing some best students not to choose teaching profession / some best students don’tchoose teaching profession83. choose careers other than teaching / choose other careers instead of teaching84. not be changed / remain unchanged（静安）All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian (昼夜节奏的) rhythm, helps control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep.Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it's time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body's clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud (提不起精神的状态) when they don't get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes.Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body's clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it's day or night.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because ________________________________________.82. Children before puberty tend to __________________________________than adolescents.83. The author wants to tell the reader that _____________________________________.84. What did the previous researchers think about the human eye's light-sensing system?81. it has a cycle of 24 hours82. fall asleep earlier at night83. staying up late affects teenagers' ability to think and learn.84. The human eye had one light-sensing system.（金山）Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank which was helped to build by a UK organization because of the lack of clean drinking water. The tank has made a big difference; it gives water to over 800 People. But lately, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have come down from the hill areas, and there will not be enough clean water to go round.There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400 km railway link, and about 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to grow. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are Available to those with satellite dishes.The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN's least-developed category by 2020.(Note: Answer the ques TlO ns or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?82. ____________________________ is the most serious limitation on Laos' economic growth.83. Laos relies on ____________________________ to achieve the future development.84. What kind of country is Laos according to the United Nations category?81. Fast growing population in the area.82.

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.The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products. When we designed America’s first so-called “green” office building in New Y ork two decades ago, we felt very alone.

Our planet has shrun k. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.72. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ________.A. have to get familiar with modern technologyB. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationsC. are attaching more importance to their overseas businessD. are eager to work overseas73. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means ________.A. being unable to think properly for lack of insightB. being totally out of touch with business at homeC. missing opportunities for promotion when abroadD. leaving all care and worry behind74. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations inemploying people today?A. Connections with businesses overseas.B. Ability to speak the client’s language.C. Technical know-how.D. Business experience.75. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can ________.A. better control the whole negotiation processB. easily find new approaches to meet market needsC. fast-forward their proposals to headquartersD. easily make friends with businesspeople abroadSection CDirections: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of76.__________Here is what global warming could do in a few years: in Dallas, a doubled level of carbon dioxide would increase the number of days a year with temperatures above 100 degrees from nineteen to seven-eight. On sixty-eight days, as opposed to the current four, the temperature wouldn’t fall below 80 degrees at night. One hundred and sixty-two days a year, the temperature would top 90 degrees.77. __________Although most scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will inevitably lead to global warming, no one is certain how fast and how much temperatures will rise and what the effects will be in any geographical areas. This gives policymakers an excuse for delaying action. Some experts predict that within two centuries glaciers(冰川) in the North and South Poles will melt, ocean levels will rise, and much of what is now the coast of the United States will be under water. They also predict great droughts and hurricanes, as a result of climate changes.78. __________Other scientists think the changes will be much more gradual, even beneficial. After all, Canada would not complain if the productive corn-growing lands were shifted north. While many nations could end up with milder climates, the change-perhaps 100 times faster than at any time in human history—could be so drastic(猛烈的) that many of the benefits would be lost. There could be crowds of environmental refugees, as well, making the tragedy of the Dust Bowl era seem mild in comparison.79. __________What can we do? Humanity’s contribution to the greenhouse eff ect comes from so many basic activities that we can’t hope to eliminate it completely. Some steps have already been taken. Since the 1970’s, the use of CFCs as aerosol-can propellants(喷雾器) has seen banned in the United States.80. __________Another strategy is to burn as much as methane(甲烷) as possible. This aids CO2 to the air, but since methane traps twenty times as much heat as CO2, the net result is worth-while. The gas in many garbage landfills is already being used in a number of places around the United States. It is being used to heat thousands of homes.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 words.From bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face the bleak prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian firms try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will stem unemployment and may help keep Asian economies afloat at a time of slowing exports.The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for firms to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, leaving some experts predicting a Western shift to Eastern flexibility."In the Confucian mindset, the right thing to do is to share the burden. There's that sense of collective responsibility whereas in the West, it's more about individual survival," said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).Steven Pang, Asia regional director for Aquent, a headhunting firm, said in many East Asian companies there was an obligation "to take care of members of the family and go through the pain together" even if that meant incurring losses.In contrast, Western counterparts often felt compelled to make dramatic statements to show investors they were serious about cost-cutting, Pang said.US firms from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals, job cuts will probably be less severe.Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.81. What caused the different practices of Asian and Western firms facing the global recession?82. Why is it easier for the East Asian firms to recover quickly from the economic downturn?83. Firms in the west would lay off workers when facing a bleak prospect because of_________.84. _______will make the differences in East and West less noticeable.第II卷（共45分）I.

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)FROM THE CHINESE PRESS (Grandpa's not-so-happy tale) An old villager traveled all the way from Hubei province to Nanjing Jiangsu province to see his grandchild. But his son, instead of letting him spend time with his grandchild, put him up in hotel. The old man felt humiliated because he thought his son had treated him indifferently because he was poor. The son should definitely be criticized for his action, but at the same time it is important to analyze the incident rationally, says an article in Qilu Evening News. Excerpts: The case of the old man from Hubei is another tragic Chinese family drama. Chinese tradition does not allow a son to shut out his father from his family. But criticizing the son’s action without knowing the details may not be a good idea.It indeed was inappropriate for the son not to take his father to his house. But it is equally inappropriate to accuse him of being heartless for picking up his father at the railway station and putting him up in a hotel. It is possible that the son had private reasons for not taking his father home. Perha ps he didn’t want to burden his father with additional worries that he could have felt had he gone to his house.We should not jump to conclusions without knowing why the son didn’t take the old man to his house. It is notrational to say that the son is ashamed of his father because he is a poor rural resident. When facts are not clear, making efforts to find them is more important than leveling accusations against a person.65. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word ―rational‖ in paragraph 3 ____________.A. sensibleB. unreasonableC. reachableD. sensitive66. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?A. The old villager traveled all the way to borrow money from his son.B. The son should be accused of being heartless whatever the reason is.C. It is not proper for the son not to take his father to his house even if there is some reason.D. The son is ashamed of his father just because he is a poor rural resident.67. Accord ing to the writer’s analysis, we should ____________.A. help the son to explain the reason to the public.B. find out the reason why the son treated his father like thatC. criticize the son for his actionD. draw the conclusion that the son’s behavior is against Chinese tradition68. The writer’s attitude toward the son’s way of treating his father is ____________.A. criticalB. favorableC. objectiveD. negative(B)Events CalendarTUESDAYLandscape PestsLearn to identify, control and prevent seasonal landscape-disease and landscape-pest problems at the workshop, 3:30 pm. – 5 pm.

Competition is so tough that job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices for clothes. Whatever they are wearing，their family and friends may accept them, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do ―cover‖ themselvesin order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.72. The author’s attitude t owards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ____________.A. enthusiasticB. indifferentC. negativeD. sympathetic73. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Para graph 2?A. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.B. Candidates are supposed to wear whatever they would love to.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. People’s carrying tattoos, nose rings are rega rded as guilty.74. What can be inferred from the text?A. Hiring managers try to make the best impression of themselves on their candidates.B. What to wear is a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Reap What You Sow.B. Think Before You Leap.C. Repair The House Before It Rains.D. Give The Monkey What He Wants.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Did you have a business supporter?B. What about future plans?C. How do you balance the business and study?D. Was your age a problem when you first started?E. How do you manage your time?F. How is your product different from other manufacturers'?Interview with Teen Millionaire Entrepreneur(企业家)—Fraser Dohert76. ________________I developed a set of recipes where the jams are made entirely from fruits and fruit juice. They’re all natural,which is the typical feature of our product. After a year of development, I managed to convince an ad agency to work with me on labels and a factory to work with me to produce the jam. Some of the big supermarkets in the country decided to take it on and I now supply about 500 shops across the U.K., including Tesco, which is one of the biggest retailers in the world.77. ________________Definitely, trying to convince one of the biggest jam manufacturers in the country to work with me to produce the jam was certainly very difficult. At first I was just going along with the set recipes. I had very little experience, no capital and just sort of an ambition to change the world of jam. I was rejected several times, but eventually I managed to convince one factory to work with me. They could see I am very enthusiastic and I’m putting everything I’ve got into trying to make this work.78. _________________When it first started out I didn’t, but as it grew，a couple of local entrepreneurs read about what I was doing and they thought that I reminded them of themselves when they were my age. They got in touch and we went out for coffee every month and I told them what I was trying to do. They explained things to me and told me stories of when they were first setting up. That was fantastic.79. _________________It’s certainly a challenge. I try to do things quickly and cut out things that aren’t necessary to do. I’m not very sure what the correct answer is and I’m probably not the most organized person in the world. I think entrepreneurs are often chaotic (混乱的) in the way they do things. I find myself working long hours.80. __________________There’s certainly a huge amount that I want to do just within jam. The potential for international expansion is huge. The U.S. market is very appealing, so I’m starting to talk with some of the retailers over there. Eventually I’d like to develop jam for other food products. The next step is marmalade and peanut butter and growing that way over the next few years.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.My wife and I recently completed a trip to China with China Highlights. It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, we selected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the journey, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues. Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport/train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding the transportation despite obviou s communication issues since we can’t speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, aswe visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, The Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)81. What made the couple choose China Highlights during their visit to China?82. The overseas visitors were satisfied with China Highlights services except ________________.83. During their visit, not only the sights but also ___________ made a great impression on them.84. How did China Highlights improve its quality of service after the visitors finished their journey?第II卷（45分）I.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. inappropriateB. questionC. inexperiencedD. changesE. trendsF. job-relatedG. assessH. dissatisfactionI. professionJ. occursNursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician’s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.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.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs — has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find __64__ — even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51. A. excellence B. harmony C. negotiation D. response52. A. education B. practice C. fortune D. character53. A. satisfied B. concerned C. decorated D. gifted54. A. preciously B. practically C. previously D. primarily55. A. break B. association C. partnership D. relief56. A. doubted B. concluded C. mentioned D. applauded57.

For example D. In addition64. A. misleading B. puzzling C. comforting D. amusingSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artist’s colorful works.The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the ‘Venice of the north’. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals offer a different way to explore the city.But to truly experience Amsterdam, you can’t miss the city’s historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Frank’s house. Anne Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her family’s experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Best of all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.65. Which of the following is TRUE of the canals in Amsterdam?A. They had to be rebuilt after years of use.B. They protected the city in ancient times.C. They were built to provide transport for the city.D. They are the main theme of Van Gogh’s paintings.66. In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a city _____.A. that can be explored by footB. that is completely built on waterC. that has two historic museums in allD. that is famous for its modernization67. What can we infer from the passage?A. People get lost easily in Amsterdam.B. Van Gogh spent his life time in Amsterdam.C. Many Jews in Amsterdam were caught by Nazis.D. Taking a ferry ride is the most popular activity in Amsterdam.68. Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a museum leaflet.B. In a history textbook.C. In an academic magazine.D. In a travel brochure.(B)Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone ？Best for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, £68Aimed at children betweenthreeandnine(thougha nine-year-old might find it a littlesimple), it comes in pink or blueand with five built-in educationgames (you can buy more).Besides, the LeapPad does notallow access to the internet — so it is impossiblefor your child to stumble across anythinginappropriate.Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun wayto play at being a film director.Cons: Some of the games are shockinglyexpensive. And the power adaptor is notincluded.Best for teenagers iPad 4th generation, £399-£659 The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose. Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad. Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors. Best for working parentsMicrosoft Surface, £399-£559Tablets are brilliantfor leisure — but what ifyou want to do a bit ofwork? No tablet can yetcompete with a full-sizelaptop computer, but this is the only tablet thatallows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel andPowerpoint (they are all pre-installed andincluded in the price) and you can buy a prettylovely mini- keyboard for typing letters andemails, which also doubles up as the cover.Pros: The Surface is good for watchingmovies — a bonus when stuck in the airport ona business trip — and surfing the internet.Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on— costing up to £109. It might be cheaper tobuy a laptop (though a tablet is much smallerand lighter).Best for bookworms Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, £109Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase. But most tablets have a shiny screen — which can be very distracting when you're trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark. Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy. Cons: No TV, films, games, internet orcamera.69. The underlined phrase ‘stumble across ’ most probably means ‘___________’.A. meet withB. quarrel withC. compare withD. compete with70.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.(C)Seligman is leading the research on what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis（精神病）, and neurosis（精神衰弱）. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‘positive psychology’ he found only 800 out of 70,000. ‘Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,’ said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‘My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.’In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. ‘While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,’ Seligman said. ‘Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.’ Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology’s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people’s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery（抽奖）, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‘Positive Psychology,’ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person — though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods — even simple ones like ice cream, and massages — are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system.72.The distinctive feature of Seligman’s work lies in ______.A. evaluating the psychological state of peopleB. making a study of people who suffer from mental illnessC. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful peopleD. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‘positive psychology’73.What does Seligman mean by saying ‘take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6’?A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.C. It’s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6.D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.74.According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?A. Promotion leads to true happiness.B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness.C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.75.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. strengths and happinessB. ways to cultivate happinessC. development of psychologyD. effect of positive psychologySection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. What is Interpol?B. What was your role?C. How did you become involved in Interpol?D. How was the Interpol office run on a local level?E. How is it different from other police organizations?F. What did you find most interesting about your work?A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang, who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO). 76.Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn’t. Its agents arrest people, but they don’t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let’s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems.77.Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in 1982, I passed the detective’s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the Interpol Division. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad.78.I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest.79.When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities.They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanish or French.80.It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.We delight in the stories passed down to us by oldergenerations. Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ truepersonalities that we didn’t know before and can unite familymembers. But they are still just small pieces from a lifetime ofexperience, leaving a wealth of personal memories and stories that can go untold.A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail in elegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.’Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happy because I have given my father this huge gift. It has made him happier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s got more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.’‘Also it’s something he can hand down to future generations.We’re all thrilled with the book, delighted — and I’m sure he’ll wantto do volume two very soon.’(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOMORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. Tales from the past generations can not only ___________________.82. What does the company, LifeBook, do in those special books?83. Linden’s father started to look forward to the meetings with the interviewer because_________.84. Besides a project to focus on, what else can creating a LifeBook bring its author?第II卷（45分）I.

By the time we are adults， we have the ability to distinguish around 100 ， 000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood，but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain andprocesses44for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA) ， which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars， is from46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been47thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile ， research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process ， but 48 involves three steps. The first step appearsto be an analysis of the physical features of a person ’s face， which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step ， the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally ， the brain furnishes the information we havecollected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex49is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.(324 words)III.

The question is： Is economic globalization50for all?According to the World Bank ， one of its chief supporters， economic globalization has helped reduce51in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth52to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration ( 交融 ) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people ， these twenty-four countries have seen incomes53at an average rate of five percent — compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who54globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.55， small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in56open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view， believing that economic globalization is actually57the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission onthe Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually58from integration into the world economy and that the poor， the uneducated， unskilled workers， and native peoples have been left behind.59， they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example ， Indian craftsmen who currently seemto benefit from globalization because they are able to60their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of61. When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods， or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in ， these small businesses will not be able to62and will be crowded out.One thing is certain about globalization — there is no63 .

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.AFor some people， music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调 ). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result ， songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact ， most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However ， this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties，”says Margaret， a seventy-year-old woman who onlyrecently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret ， scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex ， and it doesn’tinvolve defective hearing . Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’tsee certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊疗). For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert， I just say ，‘No thanks ， I’m amusic ，’”says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”(335 words)65.Which of the following is true of amusics?A.Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B.They love places where they are likely to hear music.C.They can easily tell two different songs apart.D.Their situation is well understood by musicians.66. According to paragraph 3， a person with“defective hearing ” is probably one who __________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system67.In the last paragraph， Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A.her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB.she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC.her problem could be easily explainedD.she were able to meet other amusics68.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A.

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——完形填空（长宁）All over the world, people admire the beauty and grace of butterflies. Butterflies come in every color imaginable, and their 50 display an incredible variety of patterns. The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea. The smallest, the Western Pygmy Blue in the southern U.S., has a wingspan of only 12 millimeters. Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 .Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit. This exhibit 56 the important role that butterflies play in our environment.In recent years, environmental groups have made significant progress in 57 endangered butterfly populations. Governments throughout Asia have passed laws to help protect endangered wildlife, including butterflies. An area called Butterfly Valley in Assam, India, has become the focus of conscious 58 to protect the butterflies’habitat (栖息地). Other projects in Serbia, Japan, and Canada are also hoping to 59 . Some of these efforts are already starting to work. The population of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly in California, for instance, has increased by 8 percent since 2010.Finding a cure for the butterfly crisis is, 60 , not just for environmental groups. 61 citizens can plant butterfly gardens to support and enjoy these gentle creatures. A group of female prisoners in Belfair, Washington, are helping to rescue an endangered species called Taylor’s Checkerspot. They recognize how 62 seemingly insignificant creatures can be.

Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time __53__ from work may bring negative influence to the employee's performance. Sometimes, an applicant's residential history is also an issue. Jobs With state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, reducing the chances for them to have contact with __54__ people. Besides living near the work place is always welcome as it saves time and fares on __55__ . Another item which can't be neglected is the applicant's criminal history as in whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although __56__ like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely __57__ and, in most cases, is sure to result in the ending of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant's social history is __58__ needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self __59__ . A small mistake in these posts may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to __60__ hiring someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who __61__ social history may interview neighbors and professional references __62__ by the applicant.Finally in the field Of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or University diplomas to show the applicant's __63__ performances. In many instances, an education background check is so __64__ about details that investigators even confirm the date on which the employee earned his degree to determine if it agrees With the information the employee provided On his application.50.

If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill __50__ into an animal’s brain by its genetic heritage (基因遗传). Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is __51__. Cuing, in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all __52__ measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla (大猩猩) could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates (木板箱) on the lawn near the tree. She __53__ the crates into a pyramid, then climbed on them to reach her __54__. The gorilla’s insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows (乌鸦) use sticks to pry (撬开) peanuts out of cracks. The crow __55__ intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do. __56__ , otter (水獭) use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 __57__ symbols on a keyboard. These symbols __58__ human words. An amazing parrot can __59__ five objects of two different types. He can understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to __60__ is a basic thinking skill. In addition, he seems to use language to express his needs and __61__. When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. I’m sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than __62__ thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or __63__ experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult __64__ even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50. A. developed B. admitted C. programmed D. injected51.

This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to informtheir 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satis faction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.50.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,”they said.This theory —a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs —has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts.

In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said.58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60 amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.I am Lynn. My previous job was as principal of a language school, where I received awards for training teachers to teach more effectively. A year ago, I started an international company. I spent months conducting programs in the US and Russia. During this time, some Russian immigrants came to stay at my house. Fortunately, these visitors helped a lot at home and made life easier. At the same time, I wrote several books to be published by my company and coedited a book for a major publisher.I am grateful I have a photographic memory, so I can remember everything I see. Otherwise, I might not be that productive. In addition to my work, I have a family at home. Some of my children have had serious health problems from birth, but I try to handle those problems well and efficiently. With tremendous help from my parents, the kids are fed, and clothed, and educated.I am busy from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. My time has to be carefully planned. I do not like to be interrupted because I want to accomplish my goals.Questions:11. What was the speaker’s previous job?12. What helps to make the speaker productive according to the passage?13. What does the passage mainly tell us?11. A. A book publisher. B. A company manager.C. A magazine editor.D. A school principal.12. A. Some training experience. B. A happy family.C. Russian assistants' help.D. A good memory.13. A. Lynn’s devotion to the family.B. Lynn’s busy and successful life.C. Lynn’s great performance at work.D. Lynn’s efficiency in conducting programs.Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Job interviews can generally be divided into three types.The first is what I would call the traditional interview. This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations. So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job. This is still the model for a lot of interviews today. In my view it’s not the best to select staff.Then there is the case interview. Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem. It might go something like this, ‘A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget. What would you advise them to do?’This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it.The third type is known as the behavioral interview. The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past. A typical question might be ‘Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn’t agree with?’ This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate.Questions:14. What kind of questions are usually asked in the traditional interview?15. What does the case interview focus on about the candidate?16. What does the speaker mainly talk about?14. A. Economic questions. B. Routine questions.C. Academic questions.D. Challenging questions.15. A. Work experience. B. Educational qualifications.C. Problem-solving abilities.D. lnfomation-gathering abilities.16. A. Features of different types of interview.B. Skills in asking interview questions.C. Changes in three interview models.D. Suggestions for different job interviews.Section CDirections: In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice.

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——选标题（长宁）76. __________________Try to identify any situations that have contributed to your depression. When you know what has got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend, for talking is a way to release the feelings and to receive some understanding. If there’s no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well. Once you air out these thoughts and feelings, turn your attention to something positive. Feeling connected to friends and family can help relieve depression and it may also help them feel there’s something they can do instead of just watching you hurt.77. __________________Depression affects a person’s thoughts, making everything seem miserable, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life, say considering your strengths, gifts, or blessings may help.78. __________________With depression, a person’s creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked. Exercise your imagination by painting, sewing, writing, dancing or composing music, and then you not only get those creative juices flowing, you also loosen up some positive emotions. Take time to play with a friend or a pet, or do something fun for yourself, or find something to laugh about —a funny movie, perhaps, because laughter helps lighten your mood.79. __________________Taking a 15-to 30-minute brisk walk every day --- or dancing, jogging, or biking if you prefer makes you feel less depressed. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood. In addition to getting aerobic exercise, some yoga poses can help relieve feelings of depression. Two aspects of yoga --- breathing exercises and meditation --- can help people with depression feel better.80. __________________In depression, some people may not feel like eating at all, while others might overeat. If depression has affected your appetite, you’ll need to be extra mindful of getting the right nourishment, for proper nutr ition can influence a person’s mood and energy. So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals even if you don’t feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going.76~80 DBFAC（闸北）25.The definite danger New York is faced with.25.Study results of the climate threats on New York.25.The high cost of disaster-prevention plans.25.Measures already taken to protect New York from flooding.25.Choice of the areas to be saved from future disasters.25.Prevention projects needed to fight rising sea.76. __________On Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that the response to Hurricane (飓风） Sandy will cost $42 billion. On the same day, a group of climate researchers released research findings that sea levels appear to be on track to rise by several feet over the next century, with every inch putting more New Yorkers at risk. Sea-level researchers estimate that a five-foot rise would produce Sandy-like floods in New York every 15 years, on average.77. __________Protecting New York city from the advancing ocean is likely to be one of this century's great infrastructure (公共设施）investments. some work, such as constructing sea walls and rebuilding subway entrances, is already happening. Money has been spent to prepare for the next storm. Waterproofing electrical facilities and flood-proofing subway tunnels are under construction. The latter is especially important; damage to the subway system was the biggest-ticket item the Hurricane Sandy had caused.78. __________Ever-higher seas, though, still require more ambitious planning. The necessary item will be raising building entrances or building up the land. Massive sea gates could block storm surges (大浪）from entering upper New York harbor. Other choices for protecting the city include building barrier islands and extending the shore where feasible, which will make a huge figure on our budget.79. __________But in some ways New York’s challenge is relatively simple. Unlike many other areas of the country that will have to adapt to the varied and unpredictable effects of climate change, the city can have confidence that it faces a well-defined danger 一 rising seas — with effects that are possible to tell. It's obvious that spending billions to protect this population center is a worthwhile investment. And, unlikeother places, local officials have already started thinking seriously about engineering their way out of danger.80. __________In the coming decades, areas up and down the Atlantic coast will have to argue about which coastal areas are worth protecting —by raising land, lengthening beaches, heightening homes or building sea walls to keep the water out ——and which aren't. Sea walls won't make sense everywhere; they are expensive. Now, the first thing federal and local officials can do is to plan ahead to decide which lands will inevitably be given up to the ocean and which will be guarded with every effort within our ability. 76〜80 BDFAE（杨浦）76.Britain may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much higher, with 13 percent of Scots, 10 percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair, according to the BBC.77.Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer: the dull weather in Britain. The human body needs vitamin D from sunshine, but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. In fact, Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe. In Sweden, for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4. In Scotland it is only 3.1 hours.78.To deal with this, the DNA of people living in these areas has changed slightly; scientists call this a mutation. Originally, the coloring on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin — black melanin and red/yellow melanin, but with certain parts of DNA changed, the production of black melanin is suppressed while only red/yellow melanin is made. The result is red hair, light skin color, freckles anda greater sensitivity to sunlight.79.However, what’s more interesting is that redhead DNA mutation is recessive, whichmeans it is hidden and can often skip generations without showing. At least 1.6 millionScots carry a red-head gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do. This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA.80.The research on red hair, like many areas of science, is contradictory. In 2002 researchers showed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more anaesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair. However, in 2005 scientists found that a MCR1R mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain. Research into these aspects of red hair genetics continues. Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer. If you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to cover yourself with a higher factor sunscreen. 76~80 DAFCB（徐汇）Starting Your Own BusinessStart with an idea. This doesn't have to be a brand new invention or new product. In fact, many successful small businesses have found a way to deliver an existing service more efficiently or economically or have customized an existing product or service. Evaluate your competitors - how many competitors, how strong are they, where are they, how will you compete. State what is required to enter this market, barriers to entry such as high fixed costs (factories, restaurants) and government regulations that must be met.This doesn't mean build a big factory or a fancy office. It simply means keep accurate customer records, a clean set of updated books and a technology foundation, if necessary. One of the downfalls of many small businesses is that they don't know if they're making or losing money (i.e. the need for a clean set of books). Another downfall is when small business owners try to sell their company years later but lack accurate customer history and customer information.Once you know you can be profitable take the leap and get started. Besides getting business supplies or advertising, plan ahead by establishing some new business clients ahead of time. If your business is unlike a restaurant, that physically needs to wait for customers to walk into its doors, establish accounts ahead of time. In this way, you will have pre-planned future receivables to look forward to. 79.Use every technology available that will give your business a competitive advantage. The inter net is a customers’ research tool. Help futurecustomers learn more about you and the details about what yousell and why your products or services are different and betterfor them than other competitors.80.Carrying cash can be risky. Therefore, most people choose tocarry Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. Allthese credit cards are part of our everyday life when it comesto making purchases. Debit cards are especially popular. So,along with having a sales counter cash register, get set up to accept credit cards for your business. To do this, also purchase a new credit machine.76. E 77. B 78. D 79. A 80. C（松江）I NTERVIEW WITH T EEN M ILLIONAIRE E NTREPRENEUR (企业家) —F RASER D OHERTY76. ____________________I developed a set of recipes where the jams are made entirely from fruits and fruit juice. They're all natural, which is the typical feature of our product. After a year of development, I managed to convince an ad agency to work with me on labels and a factory to work with me to produce the jam. Some of the big supermarkets in the country decided to take it on and I now supply about 500 shops across the U.K., A. Did you have a business supporter?B. What about future plans?C. How do you balance the Business and study?D. Was your age a problem when you first started?E. How do you manage your time?F. How is your product different from othermanufacturers'?including Tesco, which is one of the biggest retailers in the world.77. ____________________Definitely, trying to convince one of the biggest jam manufacturers in the country to work with me to produce the jam was certainly very difficult. At first I was just going along with the set recipes. I had very little experience, no capital and just sort of an ambition to change the world of jam. I was rejected several times, but eventually I managed to convince one factory to work with me. They could see I am very enthusiastic and I'm putting everything I've got into trying to make this work.78. ____________________When it first started out I didn't, but as it grew, a couple of local entrepreneurs read about what I was doing and they thought that I reminded them of themselves when they were my age. They got in touch and we went out for coffee every month and I told them what I was trying to do. They explained things to me and told me stories of when they were first setting up. That was fantastic.79. ____________________It's certainly a challenge. I try to do things quickly and cut out things that aren't necessary to do. I'm not very sure what the correct answer is and I'm probably not the most organized person in the world. I think entrepreneurs are often chaotic (混乱的）in the way they do things. I find myself working long hours.80. ____________________There's certainly a huge amount that I want to do just within jam. The potential for international expansion is huge. The U.S. market is very appealing, so I'm starting to talk with some of the retailers over there. Eventually I'd like to develop jam for other food products. The next stop is marmalade and peanut butter and growing that way over the next few years.76〜80 FDAEB（青浦）76. ________All California students must pass the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive their high school diploma. The test is first taken in the 10th grade, but retakes are allowed. The CAHSEE consists of two parts: English language arts and mathematics. The contents of the exam are based on the California state curriculum in those subjects. A scale score of 350 in each part is required to pass.77. ________To pass the CAHSEE, concentrate on studying the types of questions asked on the exam, and don’t worry about information that will not be asked. The mathematics section includes statistics, data analysis, probability, number sense, mathematical reasoning, measurement, geometry and grades 6 and 7 algebra. You will also need to know how to work with fractions, decimals and percentages. The English language arts sections covers vocabulary, decoding, comprehension and your ability to read and analyze short passages of text. You will also need to know basic spelling, grammar and punctuation and be able to write a short essay.78. ________You can find CAHSEE practice tests and study guides on the California Department of Education website. To pass the CAHSEE, read these study guides ——they contain information about the contents of the exam. Also take several practice tests. The first time, concentrate only on answering the questions and checking your answers. After this, time yourself so you get practice in completing all the questions in good time. Look up the answers on the answer sheets given with the practice tests and make sure you understand any of the answers you got wrong.79. ________One of the best ways to practice for the CAHSEE is to pay attention in the classroom. Your teachers will teach all of the material you need to know to pass the test. If you listen in class, do your homework and ask your teacher for extra help with anything you are having difficulty in understanding, you will have done most of the work you need to pass the CAHSEE. Another everyday way to study is to read for fun. The more you read, the more comfortable you will be with the English language arts skills you need to demonstrate.80. ________When taking the CAHSEE, remain calm and organized. In the English language section, read the questions and passages carefully and make sure you understand what the question is asking before you try to answer. For the essay, take a few minutes to outline your essay before you start writing. Review your work and correct grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. In the mathematics section, work through the questions on scrap paper rather than trying to do them in your head. The test has no trick questions. If a question seems confusing, read it again and think about how it applies to the subjects you have studied.76～80 B E F A D（普陀）76. ______________________Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向） to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. ______________________The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes（中风）. But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find cures to many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.78. ______________________Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research.. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. ______________________Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not "play God" He asks, "Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?" He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.80. ______________________One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients' permission. Most people would agree that one's health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious.76-80 DFCEB（浦东）A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang, who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO).76.Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn’t. Its agents arrest people, but they don’t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let’s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems.77.Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in1982, I passed the detective’s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the Interpol Division. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad.78.I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest.79.When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities. They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanish or French.80.It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!76~80. ECBDF（闵行）Interview with Fashion Designer Adolfo Sanchez76. _______________This season I wanted to create a dark collection which was wearable for women from east to west. Initially it began with the idea of lace (花边) and then after bringing the concept of a Victorian Goth collection together the lace was only used as a decoration. I always love combining soft and hard details together for examplewe had dresses with a leather bustier(紧身衣) inspired from chiffon (雪纺绸) skirts. Wool and fur were some of the other textiles that played a big role in this collection. Overall, the collection looks soft and feminine (娇柔的) .77. _______________The idea of seeing your vision come to life when you see the complete line, as well as being able to experience the process of growth as an unknown designer to being recognized for your work and aesthetic(美学观念). It’s a very rewarding feeling professionally and personally to see the transformation (转变) occur.78. _______________More creativity. I feel like the main focus is on wearability (耐穿性), which I understand is definitely extremely important (it’s the beneficial part of the industry). However, the art aspect should not be lost in the process. At the end of the day we are not only fulfilling a utilitarian (功利的) function, we should make full use of the unique artist’s imagination that marks the current movements and influences of our culture. We are creating something that should arouse people’s curiosity.79. _______________Patience, technique, passion, perseverance, and creativity with an understanding of wear ability. I also think that in order to be a designer you should have the knowledge of how to construct a dress from scratch (草稿). You should know the process that begins with the idea in your mind to the finished product that is ready for a client to wear.80._______________I’m happy to say that I will be showing and having a runway presentation in N.Y. this upcoming September; details should be announced soon. The trailer to my first film that I styled and custom created for will be out this summer. For the time being this is all I can really say as the rest is still in the development phase (阶段) but believe me when I tell you that there is so much more to come.76~80 DAFCE（静安）76. _________________________On Father's Day 2009, which falls on Sunday, June 21, millions of dads across the US will open boxes, peel back tissue paper, and break into a smile as they admire their new necktie 一 still among the most popular Father's Day gifts.77. _________________________That smile is almost certainly genuine, according to psychology lecturer Nicole Gilbert Cote at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Her research shows that even though dads get less attention on father's day than moms do on Mother's Day, dads are more likely to be satisfied on their special date. Part of the reason seems to be that moms expect to be relieved of stereotypical chores such as cooking and cleaning up on Mother's Day, but that doesn't always happen. Dads didn't have that role in the family. “The bar is low, and d ad is OK with that,” Gilbert Cote said, adding that the way families —even those that espouse egalitarian ideal —celebrate the two holidays reinforces such stereotypes.78. ________________________Fathers' low expectation means that shoppers spend less money on them than they do on moms, according to the National Retail Federation, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group. The stumbling global economy, however, does mean shoppers are cutting back. In 2008, Father's Day cost individual consumers $94.54, and Mother's Day cost $138.36. But this year, the retail group experts gift givers to spend an average of US$90, on Father's Day. For moms, shoppers shelled out “dad an average of US$123.89. “Dad is a little more laid-back and easier to shop for,” said federation spokesperson Kathy Grannis. “His gifts usually range from a simple tie for work to a new spatula for the grill, all of which can make dad very happy.” Mother's Day gifts tend to be more luxurious — jewels, flowers, a trip to the spa, and dinner at a restaurant, for example.79. ________________________The most popular gift for Dads —and often the only one he'll got —is a greeting card. All told, an estimated 110 million cards are sent on Father's Day, according to the greeting card company Hallmark. This makes Father's Day the fourth largest card ——sending holiday in the US, behind Mother's Day (162 million), Valentine'sDay (192 million), and Christmas (2.1 billion). Fifty percent of Father's Day cards are purchased for dads and another 20 percent for husbands. The remaining 30 percent fall into a broad “other” category, according to Deidre Mize, a Hallmark spokesperson. “It might be someone who served as a father role. Or it could be a stepdad,” she said. The Fat her's Day card business, according to the retail federation, will ring up about $780 million this year.80. _________________________Despite all the cards given on father's day, hallmark didn't invent the holiday, Mize said. Rather, father's day traced its origins to Spokane, Washington, where Sonora Smart-Dodd was one of six children being raised by a single dad. Inspired by a mother's day sermon she heard at church, she wanted to honor her father. So, she encouraged local churches to institute the first father's day observance in 1909. The idea caught on, and hallmark started printing father's day cards in 1920s, Mize said. In 1972, us President Richard Nixon formally declared father's day as the third Sunday in June.76〜80 EAFBCSpeaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusin g. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:76. _______________When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.77. _______________Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.78. _______________Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.79. _______________Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.80. _______________Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”76 – 80 ECAFD（嘉定）A.Suggestions for happinessB.The correlation of love with happinessC.The role of education and income in one’s happinessD.The study of happinessE.The chief factors of happiness。

Research suggests there is not enough evidence to link the substance to cancer.A(n) 53 petrochemical factory in Zhenhai, which was built in 1975, processes 21 million tons of crude oil each year.

But his son, instead of letting him spend time with his grandchild, put him up in hotel. The old man felt humiliated because he thought his son had treated him indifferently because he was poor. The son should definitely be criticized for his action, but at the same time it is important to analyze the incident rationally, says an article in Qilu Evening News. Excerpts: The case of the old man from Hubei is another tragic Chinese family drama. Chinese tradition does not allow a son to shut out his father from His family. But condemning the son's action without knowing the details may not be a good idea. It indeed was inappropriate for the son not to take his father to his house. But it is equally inappropriate to accuse him of being heartless for picking up his father at the railway station and putting him up in a hotel. It is possible that the son had private reasons for not taking his father home. Perhaps he didn't want to burden his father with additional worries that he could have felt had he gone to his house.50. A. protect B. persevere C. predict D. prevent 51. A. enjoyment B. anger C. passion D. laziness 52. A. definitely B. specially C. probably D. potentially 53. A. past B. deserted C. existing D. closed 54. A. concern B. excitement C. dissatisfaction D. delight 55. A. make out B. make for C. make up for D. make of 56. A. Therefore B. However C. BrieflyD. Moreover 57. A. impatiently B. effectively C. negatively D. vividly 58. A. relocation B. health C. pollution D. production 59. A. manufacturers B. authorities C. plants D. the public 60. A. in the dark B. at the bottom C. around the corner D. beyond description61. A. channels B. canals C. tunnels D. events 62. A. convey B. present C. access D. eliminate 63. A. owned B. doubted C. owed D. required 64. A. removedB. enhancedC.existedD. provedWe should not jump to conclusions without knowing why the son didn't take the old man to his house. It is not rational to say that the son is ashamed of his father because he is a poor rural resident. When facts are not clear, making efforts to find them is more important than leveling accusations against a person.65. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word ―rational‖ in Paragraph 3?A. Sensible.B. Unreasonable.C. Reachable.D. Sensitive.66. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?A. The old villager traveled all the way to borrow money from his son.B. The son should be accused of being heartless whatever the reason is.C. It is not proper for the son not to take his father to his house even if there is some reason.D. The son is ashamed of his father just because he is a poor rural resident.67. According to the writer's analysis, we should ________.A. help the son to explain the reason to the publicB. find out the reason why the son treated his father like thatC. criticize the son for his actionD. draw the conclusion that the son's behavior is against Chinese tradition68. The writer's attitude toward the son's way of treating his father is ________.A. criticalB. favorableC. objectiveD. negative(B)_______________________________ Events Calendar _________________________________ TUESDAYLandscape Pests（虫子）Learn to identify, control and prevent seasonal landscape-disease and landscape-pest problems at the workshop, 3:30 pm-5 pm.

Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do ―cover‖ themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances» so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.70.

Candidates are supposed to wear whatever they would love to.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. People's carrying tattoos, nose rings are regarded as guilty.72. What can be inferred from the text?A. Hiring managers try to make the best impression of themselves on their candidates.B. What to wear is a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. 73. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Reap What You Sow B. Think Before You Leap C. Repair The House Before It RainsD. Give The Monkey What He WantsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A -F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Interview with Teen Millionaire Entrepreneur (企业家) —Fraser Doherty76. ____________________I developed a set of recipes where the jams are made entirely from fruits and fruit juice. They're all natural, which is the typical feature of our product. After a year of development, I managed to convince an ad agency to work with me on labels and a factory to work with me to produce the jam. Some of the big supermarkets in the country decided to take it on and I now supply about 500 shops across the U.K., including Tesco, which is one of the biggest retailers in the world. 77. ____________________Definitely, trying to convince one of the biggest jam manufacturers in the country to work with me to produce the jam was certainly very difficult. At first I was just going along with the set recipes. I had very little experience, no capital and just sort of an ambition to change the world of jam. I was rejected several times, but eventually I managed to convince one factory to work with me. They could see I am very enthusiastic and I'm putting everything I've got into trying to make this work.78. ____________________When it first started out I didn't, but as it grew, a couple of local entrepreneurs read about what I was doing and they thought that I reminded them of themselves when they were my age. They got intouch and we went out for coffee every month and I told them what I was trying to do. They explained things to me and told me stories of when they were first setting up. That was fantastic.79. ____________________It's certainly a challenge. I try to do things quickly and cut out things that aren't necessary to do. I'm not very sure what the correct answer is and I'm probably not the most organized person in the world. I think entrepreneurs are often chaotic (混乱的）in the way they do things. I find myself working long hours.80. ____________________There's certainly a huge amount that I want to do just within jam. The potential for international expansion is huge. The U.S. market is very appealing, so I'm starting to talk with some of the retailers over there. Eventually I'd like to develop jam for other food products. The next stop is marmalade and peanut butter and growing that way over the next few years.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.My wife and I recently completed a trip to China with China Highlights. It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, we selected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the itinerary, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport / train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding THE transportation despite obvious communication issues since we did not speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, as we visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.
