Imaginate FestivalC. The RoyalEdinburghMilitary TattooD.EdinburghInternational Film FestivalBI’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.4. What is the author’s belief?A. People should live alone.B. People can’t always be happy.C. People can’t always achieve their goals.D. People should pursue true achievements.5. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?A. Their strongly believed values.B. Their different needs.C. Permanent happiness.D. The pursuit of hedonism.6. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?A. By being honest to others.B. By changing true nature.C. By keeping realstically optimistic.D. By pursuing pleasure constantly.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia?B. What should we do to keep positive?C. How can we keep happy forever?D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?CThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these tryingtimes, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.DWhen you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as CuiShi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science Magazine.Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.12. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.B. They are stubborn and not so capable.C. They were necessary in ancient sports.D. They were a sign of high social status.13. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.14. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.C. Lvju was popular among common people.D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.15. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.A. she intended to use them for transport after deathB. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after deathC. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after deathD. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignity第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021-2022学年上海市静安区高三（上）期末英语试卷（一模）1.（填空题，10分）Rereading is a guilty pleasure for many readers.How can a keen reader abandon his to-be-read list and waste time with a book he already knows？At the same time,according to many experts,the act of rereading（1）___ （regard），without doubt,as the only way to truly understand a text.Academics most often discuss the benefit of rereading as a way to gain deep understandings of complex texts and of the self.Teachers of early reading-age children agree that rereading improves understanding beyond basic words.For adults,rereading is necessary to understanding a text well so that good critical arguments（2）___ be made.Rereading helps to build a better understanding of a book.（3）___ rereading,many readers find it impossible to appreciate a writer's subtle talents or to comprehend a text's inner ideas and themes.Rereading is also an act of self-reflection.The practice of purposeful rereading in（4）___ creates a kind of self-consciousness.Since the book never changes,it functions as a constant（恒量）（5）___ can be used to measure the reader's growth.It is a way to re-examine the reader himself and the changes he（6）___ （undergo） since the initial reading.Of course,there are possible drawbacks to rereading as well.Rereading takes time,（7）___ （draw）the readers away from their to-be-read list.And it's hard to imagine（8）___ frustrating it can be if a beloved book falls short of your rosy memories in rereading.According to David Galef,emotions like pleasure,excitement,and curiosity cause the reader to rush through a story and pass over the inner complexity（9）___ （appreciate）in re-readings,and yet they are also important elements that may be dulled by those repeated readings.Furthermore,（10）___ your rereading is focused and intentional about gaining new thoughts,it may not result in improved understanding.2.（问答题，10分）always assumed that there would be few（1）___ of life farther away from open water and sunlight.However,the discovery of filter-feeding（滤食的）organisms--160 miles away from the open ocean,with temperatures of -2.2℃ and under complete darkness--suggests that life in the world's harshest environment may be more（2）___ than previously thought.In 2017，BAS geologist James Smith and his colleagues conducted a three-month expedition to the middle of Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf,to collect（3）___ of the seafloordeposits.The team drilled through the half-mile of ice by pumping almost 20，000 liters of hot water through a pipe.After about 20 hours of painstaking work,they were finally able to reachthe seabed underneath.However,when the scientists lowered the instrument,along with a camera,to collect the soil,it came up empty.After multiple failed（4）___ - each round trip taking about an hour- the researchers took a closer look at the footage and noticed a massive stone sitting amid the（5）___ flat seabed.Even more surprisingly,the rock was covered with stationary animals,like sponges（海绵）and potentially unknown species.The finding has（6）___ many scientists given that certain organisms,such as sponges and coral polyps（珊瑚虫），which live their entire lives（7）___ to rocks,or other hard surfaces,need food supplies.In the open water,the "marine snow," as the food is called,comes from（8）___ organic matter,which drifts down from the upper waters to the deepocean.However,the species in such depth are too far from the open sea to receive（9）___ supplies of nutrients.To make matters worse,due to the area's strong ocean currents,the food has to travel anywhere from 370 to 930 miles to get to them."This is by far the furthest under an ice shelf that we've seen any of these filter-feeding animals," said Smith."These things are stuck on a rock and only get fed if something comes（10）___ along."3.（填空题，15分）Most of us have no difficulty recognizing luck when it's on apparent display,as when someone wins the lottery.But（1）___ often plays out in delicate ways and it's easy to construct narratives that portray success as out of everything but luck.These misleading stories have surprising implications for human mindset,downplaying the power of chances.Consider the history of the Mona Lisa.After having stayed in the（2）___ for most of its early existence,the painting was pushed into the spotlight in 1911 when it was stolen fromLouvre.The famous theft remained（3）___ for two years until a maintenance worker was arrested after trying to sell the painting.His arrest caused a second wave of（4）___ with the painting on everyone's lips.As in the art world,it is so too in the world of work.Almost every career path consists of a sequence of steps,each of which depends on formerones.Inevitably,some of those（5）___ steps can be influenced by chance factors,which,as a result,are sure to affect the following process.So it is reasonable to conclude that（6）___ all successful careers involve at least a certain degree of luck.One's date of birth（7）___ ，for example.According to a study,most children born in the summer tend to be among the youngest members of their class,which explains why they are less likely to hold（8）___ positions during high school and thus.less likely to land good jobs later in life.To acknowledge the power of chance events is not to suggest that success is independent of （9）___ .Charlie Munger has said,"The safest way to get what you want is to（10）___ what you want."Of course,luck counts too.Being born in a good education system is a kind of luck we can control- that is,at least we can decide how lucky our children will be.But in America,we've been doing a bad job as the budget for education has（11）___ .The human tendency to（12）___ luck's role has caused this troubling state by unwillingness to invest in education.the strong system of which can produce（13）___ for the next generation.Luckily,there is a solution.Guiding people to（14）___ their good fortune tends to make them more willing to contribute to the（15）___ ，according to a study.So try to engage your successful friends in reviews about their experiences with luck.In the process,the next generation's odds of success may well increase and meanwhile,all the social members are more likely to enjoy the improved public service.（1）A.randomness B.potential C.masterpiece D.success （2）A.emergency B.maintenance C.review D.shade（3）A.accidental B.unsolved C.official D.objective （4）A.protest B.suspicion C.publicity D.investigation （5）A.previous B.negative C.realistic D.entire（6）A.virtually B.sustainably C.adequately D.negatively （7）A.occurs B.contracts C.matters D.approaches （8）A.accessible B.original C.superior D.secure（9）A.effort B.logic C.relationship D.investment （10）A.deserve B.evaluate C.modify D.exploit （11）A.shone B.shrunk C.ballooned D.flown （12）A.preserve B.popularize C.underestimate D.revolutionize （13）A.challenge B.luck C.motivation D.experience （14）A.reflect on B.save on C.adjust to D.live on （15）A.mutual understanding B.mental fitness C.family value mongood4.（填空题，6分）A line of men tugged on ropes and dropped from the ship into the sea,with a group of Saibs prepared to pull them later from the sea bottom.Nasser,one of thedrivers,climbed over the railing of the ship and his Saib emptied his basket full of shells onto the deck."Get me something to fill my stomach with,boy." I knew he was teasing as he is my father's good friend."But I'm no longer an errand boy.I'm a diver,like my father was.""Your father was bald and deaf,like the rest of us," Nasser laughed.The salty Arabian Gulf produced the finest pearls in the world while the salty water also made divers lose their hair.Let alone the high pressure which cost them their hearing.I had shaved my head,in which way I felt more like a real diver.Of course,there's no need for me to worry about the hair problem."I′ve dived the shallow seas before,and I can hold my brea th for a whole minute.""Just pull your rope before you feel breathless." He then disappeared into the water again.I tied a heavy stone to my foot with a rope.Taking one more deep breath,I plugged my nose and jumped.With the stone finally hitting the seabed with a thump,I freed my foot from the rope.I scratched at the rocky ridge（脊），when three oysters dropped into my hands.I even didn't have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the job was before I felt breathless.Out of horror,I dragged the rope.Knowing that,far above,the Saib's strong arms strained to pull me toward the surface,I reminded myself to endure for a little more time.Just when I thought my lungs would burst,my ears popped and there was light.Nasser burst through the water.He removed his nose plug and grinned at me looking at the three pitiful shells on the deck. "Not bad for an errand boy." Seeing me upset with my head down,he patted me "It's your first for such a depth.You did better than all of us." Cheering up,I wrapped the empty basket around my neck and raised my chin,"I'm a pearl diver."（1）According to Nasser,what did an errand boy usually do？ ___A.Pull divers from the sea.B.Empty baskets for divers.C.Serve snacks for divers.D.Dive for shells.（2）Why did the author have his hair cut？ ___A.Because he tried to avoid losing hair.B.Because all divers had shaved hair.C.Because high pressure made him bald.D.Because he wanted to look professional.（3）Why did the author get little harvest？ ___A.Because there were not many pearls in the area.B.Because he still lacked experience in the job.C.Because the Saib pulled him up too early without permission.D.Because the rocky ridge was too rough.5.（填空题，8分）These summer festivals in New Orleans are few of the hottest happenings the City has to offer for holiday seekers.Oyster FestivalThere's an old saying that it's only safe to eat oysters in months ending in 'R' ，which was good advice in the age before refrigeration became a fashion.And that's exactly why originally the New Orleans Oyster Festival was held in June,to break up the myth as locals never bothered to preserve the creatures with their habit of directly eating the seafood,fresh from thesea.Today,featuring oysters harvested from the Gulf of Mexico,Oyster Fest is a celebration of the world's favorite food.If you've ever wanted to enjoy the legendary oysters at Drago's where the recipe originated or take a bite out of an oyster the size of a hamburger,Oyster Fest is for you.When to Go：June 3-4Essence FestivalNew Orleans holds a special place in African-American life and history,so it should be no surprise the city hosts a festival celebrating African-American music and culture in the United States.With free admission,Essence Festival,organized by the African-American women's magazine of the same name,is a combination of four days of dynamic speeches and a showcase of African-American artists.When to Go：June 29-July 2Cajun-Zydeco FestivalSouthern Louisiana is home to a variety of rich,unique cultures,and on a weekend in June in New Orleans,one of them- Cajun- is on full display.The heart of Cajun country is in south-central Louisiana,a strong showcase of Cajun culture,for which the Cajun-Zydeco Festival emerged.On the particular weekend,you get ready to chew down on traditional food like Cajun gumbo at eateries,buy Cajun crafts,and purchase a Cajun T-shirt.When to Go：June 24-25Running of the BullsDue to its history,the Spanish influence still shows itself in New Orleans.The architectural style of the French Quarter is actually from Spain,and New Orleans's annual Running of the Bulls is,in part,a nod to the city's Spanish heritage.Unlike the Spanish festival in Pamplona,the "bulls" in the Fest are not actual bulls but the women of the Big Roller derby team.However they do chase down white- and red-clothed festival-goers,if infuriated.Therefore behave yourself or be prepared to run for life.When to Go：July7-9（1）Why was New Orleans Oyster Festival held in June in the first place？ ___A.Because refrigerator could be used to store oysters.B.Because it was not easy for oysters to go bad in summer.C.Because oysters could be cooked in various ways to extend storage period.D.Because New Orleans oysters were usually served raw.（2）The underlined word "infuriated" is closest in meaning to ___ .A.exhibitedB.color-blindedC.angeredD.cheated（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？ ___A.Oyster Festival nowadays is designed for people seeking the history of oyster harvest.B.Essence Festival celebrates the freedom of African-American women.C.Cajun-Zydeco Festival is mainly celebrated through dining and shopping.D.New Orleans has been stripped of Spanish influence.（4）In which magazine does the passage most probably appear？ ___A.Vacation Guide.B.Genuine Recipe.C.Architecture Vision.D.Music Billboard.6.（填空题，8分）You may be familiar with the statistic that 90% of the world's data were created in the last few years.The biggest setback with such a rate of information increase is that the present moment will always emerge far larger than the past.Short-sightedness is built into the structure,in the form of an overwhelming tendency to over-estimate near-term messages at the expense of history.To understand why this matters,consider the findings from social science about 'recency bias （倾向）'，which describes the tendency to assume that future events will closely resemble recent experience.People tend to base thinking disproportionately on whatever comes most easily to mind.It's also worth remembering that novelty tends to be a dominant consideration when deciding what data to keep or delete.Out with the old and in with the new.That's the digital trend in a world where search algorithms（算法）are systematically biased towards freshness.They are designed in line with human preference.Such a bias towards the present is structurally rooted in the human weakness that we keep deserting things we once cherished simply because we growtired of them.What's really needed is something thought of as "intelligent forgetting"：learning to let go of the immediate past in order to keep its larger continuities in view.It's an act similar to organising a photograph album- although with more maths.When are two million photographs less valuable than two thousand？Many data sets are irreducible and most precious when complete：gene sequences；demographic（人口的）data；the raw,hard knowledge of geography and physics.The softer the science,however,the more that scale is likely to be reversely connected with quality.In these cases,time itself is rather important as a touch stone to judge the value of data.Either we choose carefully what endures,matters and meaningfully captures our past- or its foot print is silently replaced by the present's growing noise.Mere gathering is no cure-all answer.In an era of bigger and bigger data,the leading warning for those who have to make decisions is that what you choose not to know matters just as much as what you do.（1）What is the major problem with the explosion of recent information？ ___A Trends are too quickly produced.B.People have poor eyesight after viewing too much information.C.Present information is given too much emphasis.D.Prediction for future development largely depends on the past information.（2）What causes widespread preference for newness？ ___A.That algorithms requires the latest to make accurate prediction.B.That humans are accustomed to losing interest in old things.C.That short renewed period is the feature of modern data.D.That search algorithms keep uncovering the value of the newness.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？ ___A.Recent past experience is rarely used to provide reference for future events.B.The quality of geographic knowledge depends on photo sorting rather than full data.C.Intelligent forgetting refers to replacing the immediate past with far-back data.D.Time helps us to evaluate data when the quality isn't in line with quality.（4）What is the passage mainly about？ ___A.The side effect of digital innovation.B.The values of complete data in softer subjects.C.The data discrimination caused by algorithms.D.The faulty preference for fresh data and ways out.7.（填空题，8分）to be enjoyed--in a jacket and tie,of course.（1）___ Boiling water to make tea,forinstance,makes it less likely to give you a stomach bug.But what are the secrets or even cruel realities behind the taste of this beloved beverage？Anthropologist Kate Fox writes in her book Watching the English that there are several clear messages sent whenever a Britmakes a cup.She observes that the strongest brews of black tea- with the largest doses of flavour factors -are typically drunk by the working class.The flavor gets progressively weaker as one goes up the social ladder.Milk and sweetener have their own codes.According to her,taking sugar in your tea in Britain is regularly by many as a definite lower-class indicator.（2）___ Other implications involve when and how milk is added,if any.Making a point of drinking smoky Lapsang Souchong （正山小种红茶）with no sugar of milk can be a sign of class anxiety in the middle class,Fox suggests.It's as far as possible as one can get from sweet,strong,milky cups of no-nonsense'builder's tea'.A food scientist pointed out something that seems to apply here."（3）___ "You like what you like not necessarily because of the taste of it,thought obviously one can develop a taste for almost anything.A food or drink's real importance in your life may be because of everything that surrounds it- the culture of it.Fox also observes that,alongside its chemical properties,tea is a social space-filler.Many meaningless moments can be occupied by tea and its related events.（4）___ Whenever the English feel awkward or uncomfortable in a social situation,they cook tea.8.（问答题，10分）Directions：Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 e your own words as far as possible.You still need a better reason to plant a tree？Police aren't cheap and neither are lawyers,judges,and all the other layers that make up the justice system.But trees and some grass,in comparison,are a real bargain,and they prove to be effective in fighting crimes.Many cities used to launch programs to plant vegetation along roadways to help absorbrainwater.After tracking 14 types of crime in nearby areas,Michelle Kondo,a social scientist found that a variety of crimes including property crimes such as theft and burglary,and violent crimes such as armed fights and mayhem in those areas decreased to 27 percent,a stunning 18 percent fall.Kondo believed the appearance of city trucks and vans in the landscaped areas-for planting and maintenance-was enough to scare away potential criminals.Kondo's study also worked on the link between grassland care and decrease of the crime in downtown areas.It's tempting to use income as the connection.After all,if you have the crime and money to water your lawn,you probably live in a neighborhood that sees less crime.But actually,people are less likely to hang in those areas where the streets are maintained or cleaned. "You will see less kids hanging on the corners," Kondo said.He argued that caution of the local people implied by the organized greenery helped to frighten away ill-intentioned guys,by announcing to would-be criminals that there are "eyes on the street" that care for their neighborhood and would be more likely to report a crime.We already know greenery is beautiful to look at and can help improve mood and health while reducing pollution.Now we can add crime-fighting to the list of vegetation's manybenefits.Therefore,are you ready to plant a tree？9.（问答题，3分）为防止病人走错，墙上贴上了箭头。

Nolonger are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet - food shelves arefull of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number ofinternet services offer food, tailored to the pet’s individual tastes.In the business this is called “pet humanisation” -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Re某 and Spot to -- in America -- Bella, Lucy and Ma 某. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.1.Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.People’s needs for animal services are decreasing.B.Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.C.Pets are increasingly making their owners less an某ious.D.Pet foods are more various and customized than before.2.Which of th e following is referred to as evidence of “pet humanization?”A.The names given to pets in American families nowadays.B.Pet’s inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners.C.Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping.3.Which of the following statements is the author mostlikely to agree with?A.Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters.B.Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets.C.Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world.D.Some pet owners spend too much money on their pets.4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The Changing Roles of AnimalsB.The Urge for Pet-keepingC.Who Owns WhomD.Love Me, Love My DogDepression hurts, Prozac can helpDepression isn’t just feeling down. It’s a real illness with real causes. Depression can be triggered by stressful life events, like divorce or a death in the family. Or it can appear suddenly, for no apparent reason.Some people think you can just will yourself out of a depressio n. That’s not true. Many doctors believe that onething that may cause depression is an imbalance of serotonin -- a chemical in your body. If this happens, you may have trouble sleeping. Feel unusually sad or irritable easily. Find it hardto concentrate. Lose your appetite. Lack energy. Or have trouble feeling pleasure. These are some of the symptoms that can point to depression -- especially if they last for more than a couple of weeks and if normal, everyday life feels like to much to handle.To help fight depression, the medicine doctors now prescribe （开处方）most often is Prozac. Prozac isn’t a “happy pill”. It’s not a tranquilizer（镇静剂）. It won’t turn you into a different person.Some people do e某perience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headaches, difficulty sleeping, sleepiness, an某iety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren’t serious enough to make most people stop taking it. However, if you are concerned about a side effect, or if you develop a rash（皮疹）, tell your doctor right away. And don’t forget to tell your doctor any other medicines you are taking.Some people should not take Prozac, especially people an MAO inhibitors（单胺抑制剂）.As you start feeling better, your doctor can suggest therapy or other means to help you work through your depression. Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly 10 years. But remember, Prozac is a prescription medicine, and it isn’t right for everyone. Only your doctor can decide if Prozac is right for you -- or for someone you love. Prozac has been prescribed for more than 17 million Americans. Chances are someone you know is feeling sunny again because of it.1.All the following are true EXCEPT ____.A.It is easy to get rid of depression through tremendous determination.B.Sleep disorder is characteristic of depression symptoms.D.Depression is a psychological state taking the form of low mood.2.What can we learn about Prozac from this piece of information?A.Prozac is a newly developed drug to treat depression.B.patients who take Prozac can e某perience severe side a effects.C.A medical prescription is necessary for Prozac.D.Over 17 million Americans have been cured by Prozac.3.This piece of information is most probably ____.A.an introduction to a scientific projectB.a part of prescription drug instructionsC.a part of a research report in a medical journalD.an advertisement of a medicine for depressionLearning a second language is tricky at any age (and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open that dusty French book). Now, in a new study, scientists have pinpointed the e某act ageat which your chances of reading fluency in a second language seems to plummet: 10.Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Childre n’s brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they’re better able to adapt and respond to new information. “All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and children’s brains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.”1.The wor d “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaningto “____”.A.plungeB.riseC.endD.vary2.What can be inferred from Joshua Hartshorne’s words?B.Children are too young to grasp a second language.D.Adults go beyond the critical period for learning a second language.3.What might be the reason why adults can’t reach native - level fluency in a second language?A.Adults are less influenced by their mother tonguesB.Adults are only too willing to e某perience something awkward in the process.D.Adults prefer an immersive environment to a classroom in learning a second language.4.The passage is mainly about____.A.the approaches to learning a second languageB.the best age to learn a second language.C.why kids learn a second language more easily than adultsD.whether adults can learn a second language like their younger selves四、六选四Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the bo某. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Search for a Human Face for RobotsLooking for a $130,000 payday? Geomiq, a British engineering and manufacturing firm is searching for a “kind and friendly”face to be the face of a robot once it goes into production. “This will entail（需要）the selected person’s face being reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide,” Geomiq says in a blog post about the project.The blog past doesn’t share age or gender parameters（参数）. 4. Candidates who make it to the ne某t phase will getfull details on the project. “The secrecy,” Geomiq says, “is due to non-disclosure agreement it’s signed with the robot’s designer and investors.”B. It just asks people who want to license their face to submit a photo via email for？ the chance at $130,000.C. It is a once - in - a - while opportunity for the right person.D.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do We Need Art in Our LivesNo one will be surprised to hear that the arts are underfire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent.If it’s not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our lives?It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For e某ample, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.Art also gives us insight into the world. History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can’t tell us howthe population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worded, because their art has given us much a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it.So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of is the art you see in galleries. Art is actually much more accessible and it truly needed in everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in thefuture an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form ofself-e某pression.六、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.学而不思犹如食而不化。

In 2011, of the 16 cyclist deaths in London, nine involved lorries, of which seven were construction vehicles.If elements of the London Cycling Campaign’s design lookfamiliar that is __61__ they are already in use — many __62__ rubbish lorries already feature low-silled glass doors, allowing the driversto look out for both staff __63__ bins and other pedestrians.

The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised “a New Deal for the American people”.Within the “Hundred Days”, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmersto reduce production, thus raising crop prices. The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity, control floods and manufacture fertilizer. The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.The Social Security Act of 1935 established contributory old age and survivors’ pensions, as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures. Financed by taxes collected by the federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and other public buildings.It kept workers in the job, thus preserving their skills and theirself-respect.The New Deal programs did not end the Depression. But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.66.

No maximum.(C)On December 14, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space) blasted a small but mighty telescope into space. The telescope is called WISEand is about as wide around as a trashcan. Don't let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects in the known universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born."I'm very excited because we're going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven't seen before," said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project.Since arriving in space, the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth, held by gravity in a polar orbit(this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap (一圈).Its camera is pointed outward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.The pictures taken by WISE won't be like everyday digital photographs, however. WISE stands for "Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer." As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation (红外线辐射).Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spectrum of Light(光谱) that becomes visible in a rainbow, is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital cameratakes a picture of a tree, for example, it receives the waves ofvisible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, they're processed by the camera, which then puts the image together.Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras don't see them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space—but they absorb most of the light that reaches them. They don't reflect light, so they are difficult to see. But they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.Brown dwarfs(褐矮星)are another kind of deep-space object thatwill show up in WISE's pictures. These objects are "failed" stars—which means they are not massive enough to jump start the same kind of reactions that power stars such as the sun. Instead, brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down. They're so dim that they're almostimpossible to see with visible light, but in the infrared spectrum they glow.74. What is so special about WISE?A.

Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.From boy to manGrowing up on-screen for a decade as Harry Potter, 22-year-old Daniel Radellif has had to deal with typecasting(角色定位) his whole career. However, in a new release called The woman in Black’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the taleof a widowed lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decides to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty,followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路) going: demonic(恶魔的) dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.“The woman in Black works because of Radcliffe,not in spite of him,” he said. “Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever.”There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift closer and closer into his eyes.” He told British magazine Total Film.For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.“It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching (倾注全力) yourself and learning.”Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.And he understands fame is fleeting. “The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by[US writer] William Goldman. He said something like, ’Stars come and go, only actors last’.” hetold the news website.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

As of now, the South Korean government has three methods (21)______ place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through a RFI card. When users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid(盖子) will open, allowing them to dump their waste. The waste (22)______(weigh) automatically and a bill is recorded in the user's account which the user needs to settle on a monthly basis. Each RFI bin costs $1,500 and (23)______ serve 60 households.The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. There's also an electronic management system, (24)______ residents put food waste directly into the bin and pay for it by purchasing a special tag (25)______(attach) to the bin.Every household in South Korea is subject to one of these payment systems. (26)______ the new payment method affects you depends totally on how much food you throw away. Whateversystem you use, you are sure to feel the pain of food waste. The more food you throw out, the more you end up (27)______(pay).And it's working. Residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan have found it necessary to adopt innovative methods to avoid food waste. She picks (28)______ wet out of leftover food before throwing it away. She also separates fresh produce and other food items into (29)______(small) portions so that only the required amount is used up per meal. “(30)______ ______ ______ the fees can be reduced, I'm willing to adopt any innovative method to avoid food waste,” she said.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The party may actually be the last stronghold of the dress code, a tradition that is increasingly falling out of ___31___ everywhere, from the workplace to the school. As the power of choice ___32___ away from the institution and toward the individual, the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress, when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity, seems increasingly ___33___.So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?On the one hand, it does help reduce guests’ confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event. And it can help give a party a festive ___34___. There’s something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme. Also, if there are photos involved, a certain ___35___ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.On the other hand, if the dress code is too unspecific, it only adds to the general what-to-wear confusion, with “dress to impress” being a case in point. Sometimes it involves dresses that seem ___36___ to an individual’s sense of style. Either way, you will feel ___37___ between pleasing your host and pleasing yourself.When I asked the designer Ulla Johnson about the issue, she admitted that she demanded a dress code at her wedding: everyone in white. But she also said she wasn’t ___38___ at all when some guests asked to be an exception to the rule.“At this point, I would say dress codes can be ___39___ interpreted,” she said. “Putting on something you don’t love because it obeys a code should be off the table.”In other words, a party dress code is not the same as a school uniform. It can be ___40___ to fit each individual. Honey Dijon, the D.J. and musician, likewise believes that open interpretationsof dress codes are generally expected, though she has her own solution to the dress code issue.“Choose something that is related to the theme, such as a shoe or a bag,” she said. “That way, the host is satisfied and you still feel confident.”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.According to a Gallup World Poll, 1.1 billion people want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable jobs. An additional 630 million people would like to move abroad permanently.The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity, but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible. People who hold fast to this universal ___41___ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be ___42___ to any particular place. This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n) ___43___ economy.It leads to opportunity and profits, but it also has high ___44___ costs. According to a long research into the emotions and experiences of immigrants(移民) and migrants, many people who leave home in search of better prospects can’t avoid feeling ___45___ although few speak openly of the substantial pain of leaving home.Such tolerance of emotional suffering became common among mobile Americans in the 20th century, and represented a(n) ___46___ from the past. In the 19th century, Americans of all groups, pioneers, soldiers and the millions of immigrants who streamed into the nation, loudly complained that moving was emotionally ___47___.Medical journals explored the condition, often referring to it by its clinical name: nostalgia(思乡).Today, discussions of nostalgia are rare, for the emotion is typically regarded by individuals as an embarrassing block to progress and prosperity. The ___48___ makes mobility appear misleadingly easy.Technology also tricks us into thinking that mobility is ___49___. The comforting vision of ___50___ offered by technology makes moving seem less consequential, since “one is always just a mouse click or a phone call away”.But such a claim was ___51___ optimistic, for homesickness continued to hurt many who migrated. The ___52___ that phone calls and the Internet provide means that those away from home can know exactly what they are missing the exact moment and how it is happening. It gives the impression that one can be in two places at once but it also highlights the ___53___ of thatassumption.The persistence of homesickness points to the limitations of the universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society. The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the independent, mobile individual and takes it for granted that men and women are easily separated from family, from home and from the past. But this view isn’t ___54___ our emotions, for our attachment to home, although often ___55___, is strong and enduring.41. A. subject B. wealth C. vision D. exchange42. A. transferred B. tied C. reduced D. bridged43. A. globalized B. intense C. exporting D. degrading44. A. transporting B. domestic C. psychological D. administrative45.

A. in line with B. in addition to C. in honor of D. in need of55. A. distributed B. underestimated C. illustrated D. identifiedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I still had a few minutes, so l swung into the cafeteria to grab a coffee. That's when I spotted him: a threatening-looking punk rocker with biker leathers and black leather boots.Honestly, his look scared me, so l quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter.It was 1988, and I was a “mature" journalism student, heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance. Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter. He usually brought in guest speakers who represented “deviance”. Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer, a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict. And when I was curious that day to see who this session’s speaker was, “Mr. punk rocker” walked in.He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student, who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect. Therefore, he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping, cleaning and laundry. He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day. He described it as a “win-win” for both of them, but l suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.And then he said: “l just figure it’s normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way l look. But isn’t that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?”Wow. Just wow.“It's hair and clothing," he said. “I don’t plan to look this way forever, but for now l like it, and do you think it makes me deviant?”Every so often, I think about that young man. He'd be about fifty now and couldn’t realize how he influenced me. Because of his visit that day, my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive. They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers. And I am also happy that I do my selective of Sociology-Study of Deviance well.56. The underlined word deviance in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A. dressing.B. styleC. abnormalityD. maturity57. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the guest speaker is TRUE?A. He was dressed in a frightening way on purpose in order to surprise the students.B. He recognized the author and tried to tutor her during the session.C. He wasn’t aware that many people misjudged him.D. His behaviors didn’t match the appearance he presented.58. Why does the author think she does the course well?A. Because she has learned to enjoy varied fashion styles.B. Because she didn’t miss any of the course sessions.C. Because she knows appearance doesn’t equal one’s quality.D. Because she understands how to educate her kids.(B)The world hosts thousands of exceptional chocolatiers, some of which our magazine is to present to you. And remember that besides ordinary facts like expiration (过期) date or manufacture place, labels bear essential information. If sugar is listed as the main ingredient(原料) on the label, quickly put it down and find a bar in which cocoa shines.Paul Young, London, EnglandAward-winning master chocolatier Paul Young deserves the credits he receives for hiscreativity and mastery with chocolates. Walk into his shop and experience the scent of fresh chocolates. Young is one of the figures who launched the chocolate reform in London, casting aside the sweet British chocolate of the old for the innovative dark chocolate offerings. Try his dark chocolate bars to become a firm chocolate lover.Three locations in London.Que Bo!, Mexico City, MexicoTraditional Mexican flavors come alive in Que Bo! Que Bo! uses only organic ingredients sourced from local producers. Colored truffles(松露) match their star ingredients, such as orange, mango or salt. A major attraction is its open air courtyard shops.Five locations in Mexico City.SOMA Chocolate maker, CanadaThese Toronto chocolate experts present pure chocolate bars made with beans from around the world. The fir truffles, symbolic of the Canadian pines, combine fruity cocoa and natural oils from the fir trees to give the experience of eating chocolate in a pine forest. SOMA also highlights their expertise(专长) in goods like whiskey and ice cream, which serves as its major selling point providing customers with other choices besides chocolates.Two stores and a lab in downtown Toronto.Sprüngli, Zurich, SwitzerlandWith colorful displays of chocolate truffles and sweets, Sprüngli offers the traditional high-end Swiss chocolate experience. This luxury chocolate shop first opened its doors in 1836, the first in Europe according to some. Today, Sprüngli is acclaimed for the chance it offers customers to enjoy coffee and cake in its second-floor café, making the shop a complex of flavor treat.Numerous locations in Zurich.SpagNVola, United StatesSpagNVola husband-and-wife owners oversee entire chocolate process from farm to store, making the shop stand out. First they grow cacao at their farm. The cacao is handpicked, roasted and refined in their Maryland factory before the final products are shown on its shop shelves.

Because ingredient list should be checked to guarantee the quality of the chocolate.C. Because the price will be listed on the label.D. Because the expiration date is sometimes missing.(C)As Christmas approached, the price of turkey went wild. It didn’t rocket, as some might suggest. Nor did it crash. It just started waving. We live in the age of the variable prices. In the eyes of sellers, the right price—the one that will draw the most profit from consumers’ wallets—has become the focus of huge experiments. These sorts of price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.It may come as a surprise that, in buying a pie, you might be participating in a carefully designed social-science experiment. But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put, the convenience to know the price of anything, anytime, anywhere, has given us, the consumers, so much power that sellers—in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand, or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen. They are trying to “comparison shopping” us.They have enough means to do so: the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies, and what one tech economist calls “the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history of economics.”In result, not coincidentally, normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,” two for the price of one, or simply “everyday low prices” are giving way to far more crazystrategies.“In the internet era, I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,” says Robert Dolan, a professor at Harvard. The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside. The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be. The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search. For shoppers, that means price—not the one offered to you right now, but the one offered to you 20 minutes from now, or the one offered to me, or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing. “There used to be one price for something,” Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. When holidays come, prices are usually increased.B. The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.C. The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.D. To buy a pie, customers have to become an expert in economy.64. Sellers stare back through the screen in order to ______.A. reflect on the effect of the internetB. analyze customers’ online buying history for price strategyC. double check the existence of the purchaseD. find out online where the lowest prices are65. In internet age, what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?A. The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.B. The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.C. The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.D. The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.B. Measures sellers take to maximize profits.C. The analysis of pricing mechanism.D. The battle between buyers and sellers in internet age.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Recently, there’s been a lot of talk in U.S. about the “data problem.” It ought to give the “data-driven” school reformers pause to reconsider. Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.___67___ Margo, a famous commenter, states that at least tests are more “reliable” than professional judgment. How can she tell? We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the “truth” can only be captured in one of four answers—a,b,c, or d. ___68___ But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker? Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments, which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a, b, c and d. The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams. No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.All “reliability” tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place. But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street’s numbers, we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise, validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments. How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well, but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence, test score, and not the direct evidence, listening to their children read. Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on “real evidence”. My own 8-year-old son also used to “fail” a 3rd grade reading test even though I “knew” he could read fluently. ___69___We need schools that “train” our judgment, which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon. ___70___ It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty. Only in this way, can we, tosome extent, rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The music in youAny party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it. Yet when asked on site, she might reply: “Music? I don’t know anything about that.”Maybe you’ve heard a variation on this theme: “I don’t have a musical bone in my body.” Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year, when it’s someone’s birthday and the cake comes out. Privately, it’s a different story. We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel. But when we think about musical expertise, we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance, people we’d pay to hear. As for the rest of us, our bumbling private efforts, rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music, seem only to demonstrate that we don’t enjoy essential musical capacity.But the more psychologists investigate musicality, the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts, in quite a surprising sense. A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share. We aren’t talking about instinctive, inborn universals here. Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience; maybe not years spent over an instrument, but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.In fact, for all its remarkable power, music is in good company. Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule. We don’t know how we come to like certain food more than others. We don’t know why we fall in love. Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes. The fact that we respond to music so naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.第II卷（共40分）V.
