2020-2021学年上海市黄浦学校高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2020-2021学年上海市黄浦学校高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BA satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that coulddrag three or four out of orbit at once.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.5. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C. Because they can earn large profits from it.D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.6. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.CAn unmanned Chinese spacecraft left the earth on a trip to the planet Mars on Thursday. The launch（发射）marks the start of one of China's most important space explorations. China's national space agency launched the spacecraft called Tianwen-1 fromthe Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on Hainan Island.The name Tianwen means “Questions to Heaven” in Chinese. The spacecraft took off on China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March 5, and about 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter（轨道飞行器）and a rover（漫游车），was sent into the Earth-Mars orbit. It is expected to reach the orbit of the red planet next February. Tianwen-1 will finish three scientific goals—orbiting the red planet, landing on the Mars and sending a rover to the landing site.Tianwen-1 carries several scientific instruments to observe the planet's atmosphere and surface. It will do aseries of scientific researches on the planet's soil, geological structure, environment, atmosphere and water. Besides its daily work of exploring the surface of Mars for 90 days, it will also report back to the earth about its experiences on the red planet, which is millions of miles away. According to experts, discovering signs of life will be its first and most important scientific goal.Tianwen-1's successful landing will make China the second nation to place a spacecraft on Mars. The United States has landed eight vehicles on Mars since 1976. China will be the first to successfully orbit, land and place a vehicle in the same mission. This is China's first independent mission to Mars. The task in 2011 failed when a Russian rocket carrying a Chinese orbiter had problems after launch, and was unable to escape the Earth orbit. Last year, China's Chang e-4 spacecraft became the first to make a landing on the far side of the moon.8. When will Tianwen-1 enter the orbit of Mars?A. 36 minutes later.B. Next Thursday.C. In 90 days.D. Next February.9. What is the main task of Tianwen-1 according to experts?A. Orbiting the Mars.B. Landing on the Mars.C. Discovering signs of life.D. Sending a rover to the landing site.10. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the text?A. Tianwen-1 is the second vehicle landed on the Mars.B. The United States is the first to land vehicles on the Mars.C. Russia helped China place Tianwen-1 on the Mars.D. Chang，e-4 was the first to make a landing on the moon.11. Where can you find this article?A. In a newspaper.B. In a diary.C. In a sci-fi novel.D. In a guide book.DThereare two days that set you on your path in life: the day you’re born, and the day you realize why you were born.Growing up south of Chicago in Harvey, Illinois, most people just had their heads down trying to make it from point A to point B. I was the same way, just going with the flow. I played basketball in high school because I was good at it and because other people thought I should until I discovered my talent.I give up basketball and started doing speeches. It wasn’t a popular decision but my grandfather told me todo what made me happy. I fell in love with comedy and performing. And when I discovered the passion, I realized why I was born.I knew I had something to offer —I knew that not only am I powerful, but I can make a difference.I realized a long time ago that my dream is not to be famous or rich. My talent is to entertain. But it’s more than that. I have the chance to reach people, to brighten days, to bring laughter and positive energy into lives and inspire. And I am grateful forit.Acting putting myself out there and having doors closed on me time and time again has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned to trust what I have to offer the world over momentary doubt. I’ve learned to put my faith over my feelings. And I've grown a tough skin. More importantly, I have learned there is a long way towards our goals and that when we put our talents and passion to work, we determine our value.Like a lot of places across the country, there’s poverty, crime, violence and unemployment in Harvey. And growing up there, a lot of people have tragically low expectations for life. But I know that with the right opportunity and with help along the way, everyone can find their passion and go after it. My life is proof.12. What was the author born to do according to the text?A. Be a basketball player.B. Act and perform.C. Make speeches.D. Teach people.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Chance.B. Energy.C. Days.D. Laughter.14. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?A. To help others find their talents.B. To prove his decision was right.C. To inspire people to follow their dreams.D. To encourage people to set a goal.15. What can be the best tile for the text?A. Success Lies in Hard Work.B. How to Achieve the Dream Is Important.C. The Two Important Days in Life.D. The Day I Realized What I Was Born to Do.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。

began documenting them in the 1930s．The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China，and by far the best known．Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development．Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment．The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old，located in distant parts of the country．In many cases，they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them．Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy，poorly maintained roads by mule（骡子）or on foot．Inns were often dirty，food could be polluted，and there was always risk of violence from rebels，soldiers and robbers．Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light，in Wutai County，Shanxi Province．Thebreathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A．D．，making it the oldest building known in China at the time．Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding，forgotten areas to determine its age，including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs，covered in dust and littered with dead bats．"In complete darkness and among the awful smell，hardly breathing，with thick masks covering our noses and mouths，we measured，drew，and photographed with flashlights for several hours．When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air，we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag．We ourselves had been badly bitten．Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture．" Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in "Liang and Lin：Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past．"（1）On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s，Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT．A．accommodationsB．personal securityC．road conditionsD．vehicles（2）Liang and Lin raised public awareness of．A．documenting smashed historical buildingsB．rebuilding historically valuable buildingsC．saving the oldest temples in ChinaD．protecting historical buildings（3）While exploring the Temple of Buddha's Light，．A．Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smellB．Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe insideC．Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped forD．Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs' hideaway（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A．Creativeness results in discoveryB．Difficulty produces achievementC．Efforts contribute to happinessD．Responsibilities make development18．（6分）Get true﹣to﹣life photos and increased adaptability．Produce true colors，and set up，connect，and print right from your mobile device．Go from memory card to photo printout with ease．HP

physical reason that explains why some people arerisk﹣takers．Dopamine is a neurotransmitter，a chemical that spreads signals between nerve cells．It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good，and scientists believe it to be linked to risk﹣taking．Our nerve cells have dopamine receptors（接收器）which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives．But not all receptors may be active．When a person has few active receptors to control the amount of dopamine that is received，a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of happiness．③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 menand women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new opportunities or are cautious in life．The results of the research were consistent with similar studies carried out with rats，and had the same outcome．It concluded that people who are risk﹣takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not．This suggests that the rush of pleasure a risk taker receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become addictive for some people．They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to repeat this feeling，and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced．④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk﹣taking，but scientists believe there may be psychological reasons too．Sensation﹣seeking is a personality characteristic that describes the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure．In 1964，psychologist Marvin Zuckerman created the sensation﹣seeking scale．His 40﹣item questionnaire，still used today，was given to people who were active in seeking new activities，and to people who were more satisfied with a quiet life．While risk﹣taking is not a characteristic in itself，it is very much associated with sensation﹣seeking，as a high sensation﹣seeker does not evaluate risk in the same way that a low sensation﹣seeker does．A desire to achieve pleasure means that there isa greater willingness to take more risks．⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may choose to takemore risks than others．However，none of these explanations are definitive．（1）If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors，．A．he is less likely to feel happyB．he is more willing to take risksC．he will eventually become dopamine﹣addictiveD．he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine（2）The underlined phrase "consistent with" is closest to "" in meaning．A．contrary toB．in agreement withC．at the cost ofD．persistent in（3）What can be concluded from paragraph 4？A．The longing for pleasure may lead to risk taking．B．A willingness to take more risks can be cultivated．C．The sensation﹣seeking scale can help to evaluate risk．D．High sensation﹣seekers are more common than low ones．（4）This passage mainly talks about．A．when we learn to take risksB．how risk﹣taking benefits usC．what makes risk﹣takersD．why we should take risksSection CDirections：Read the following passage.

Summary Writing21．（15分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．Online "friends" ﹣a threat to developmentThe impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much﹣debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks．Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before．It is therefore not surprising that so many psychologists，sociologists，and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society．There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying．We find ourselves in a hyper﹣connected world where people access social media day and night，excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives．Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character．Professor Larry D．Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become ineffective，aggressive，and display anti﹣social behavior in their offline lives．But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing ﹣empathy．This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends' points of view．Without it，we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships．Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone．This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours．Many admitted an addiction to their online social network；most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends．And yet being alone is a time when we self﹣reflect and get in touch with who we really are．It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others．These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming，so it is clear that we can't neglect thosenegative impacts of social networks．V.

Furthermore,they are environmentally friendly,since you don’t have to buy(25)______wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯).You can simply refill your mechanical pencil!There is only one slight negative I must remark on,(26) ______is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils“lead pencil”in casual conversation,the term“lead pencil”is confusing.Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead.It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay,which(27)______not give you lead poisoning.This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom:“John,stop that!You’re going to get lead poisoning!”I think all the third-graders(and teachers)in the world would feel much(28)______(safe)if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one,but(29)____________the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter,I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more.Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger;perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full,hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me(30)______(use)tomorrow.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.threatenedB.designedC.preferencesD.typicallyE.experimentalF.theoreticalG.abandoned H.instruments I.constantly J.extensive K.persuasiveScience Isn’t Always Perfect—But We Should Still Trust ItFrom environment pollution to climate change,we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims.Are genetically modified crops safe to eat?Is climate change an emergency?In recent years,many of these issues have become politically polarized,with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political31.When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist,was asked by one member why we should trust the science,she replied,“because it’s science!”For several decades,there has been a(n)32and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are33by the findings of modern science.In response,scientists have tended to stress the success of science.After all,scientists have been right about most things,from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong,but for many people it’s not34.After all,just because scientists more than400years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science?—is that scientists use“the scientific method.”If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around the house,you’ll probably find that answer in it.But this answer is wrong. But what is35declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设),then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do.Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods,and these methods have changed with time.Science36changes:new methods get invented,old ones get37,and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things.And that’s a good thing,because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work.False theories can produce true results,so even if an experiment works,it doesn’t prove that the theory it was38to test is true.There also might be many different theories that could produce that same39 result.On the contrary,if the experiment fails,it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong;it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the40.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.Travelling,at least travelling any considerable distance,means dealing with airports.I’ve seen my share of airports. They come in several41.The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main wa i t i n g ar e a wa s sm a l l e r th a n ma n y sc h o o l cl a s s r o o m s,se c u r i t y an d ti c k e t ch e c k i n g we r e b o t h 42by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in.It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two43on our flight.At the other extreme are the44,modern airports in the world’s major X,in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you.Some,such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport,SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco,like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai,have45terminals connected by different buses or underground trains.Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals,which can be a little46.Heathrow airport in London,England,47that bigger is not always better.Heathrow consists of terminals used by various48and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants.At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the49that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time.Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just30minutes to find and50your gate,some of which are a25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no51for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flightsare arriving and departing and where they plan to put them.If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another,what I want is a quiet place,not an area52bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel,for me,is interesting but when I have to fly,getting there is53not half the fun.Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n)54part of the process.Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be55,not really enjoyed.41.

A.simplified B.endured C.declared D.paralleledSection 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 read.(A)Sometimes when she felt bored,she would pick up one of the numerous biographies(传记)about herself and begin to note on it.“I never did that”or“simply not true”she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages.Since journalists,biographers and more recently even“bloggers”had been writing about her since the day she was born,there was plenty of material to edit.Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the tely,however,she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness.Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset,should they ever catch her out.After all she was the decisive one,always on top of her game.A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table.A full day of openings and presentations,of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood,she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea.The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read,she simply went to visit Mr.Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream,served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache.So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls.Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother,who was a stickler for good manners.It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days,what with all the concern about childhood fatness,but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey.As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her,she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short,predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B.The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C.The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D.Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57.Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A.She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.B.She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C.She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.D.Today’s children aren’t allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58.A“Spartan menu”(paragraph4)would most likely___________________.A.have mainly low fat,healthy foodsB.be suitable for a romantic dinnerC.include a range of sweets,but no jellyD.include foods which are easy to transport59.What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A.The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B.The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C.Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D.The main character will update her blog on the internet.(B)Canals have to be built on a level,otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless.This was the great problem facing the early canal builders,and they overcame it in different ways.The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level even though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers,such as Thomas Telford,developed a new technique known as‘cut and fill’in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying.This allowed them to fill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took from the higher ground.By this method,very direct routes could be taken,which cut down the time of a journey very considerably.A good example of this type of canal is Telford’s Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal,which he began in1826to provide a direct route from the Midlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal,of course,whichever method was used,and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered to new levels.If you look at the diagram on the right,you can see a barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin,or pound,from the upper level of the canal.When a barge had to be lowered,water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level of the canal.60.Brindley’s canals were less efficient,most likely because_______________.A.he was not a good canal engineerB.the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC.his canals were built to keep the water drains outD.they had too many roundabout routes61.According to this passage,why was the‘cut and fill’technique designed?A.The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B.It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C.New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D.The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62.Locks are needed in canals to_______________.A.help boats to travel in both directionsB.keep water levels changing all the timeC.allow large ships to travel in canalsD.transfer boats across differing water levels(C)In the ancient world,the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic.That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine,Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today—that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary.He travelled across Greece teaching medicine,encouraging the view that disease had physical,not supernatural,explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath,a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life,swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm.One of Hippocrates’theories was of the‘four humours’,a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body—blood,phlegm,and black and yellow bile(a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only150years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body’s internal balance.But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile,they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using careful observation and logical thought.Aristotle,political theorist,philosopher and teacher,also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view.He was the first to classify organisms,and although his method may seem simple now,he divided them into two basic categories,as either plant or animal—he was the first to do so.Aristotle valued experimentation and discovered that evaporation,the process of becoming a vapour,turned salt water into fresh water.He was also a believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements—fire,earth,water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours,related to the four liquids in the body,were each in line with an organ,a season and with different moods.The four were based on the Greeks’idea of four base elements(air,water,fire,earth).Although discredited now,the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the18th century.They were: -Blood from the liver:associated with Spring;with courage and hope-Phlegm from brain and lungs:Winter;calm and unemotional-Yellow bile from gall bladder(胆囊):Summer;anger and bad temper-Black bile from spleen(脾脏):Autumn;with blue and dark mood63.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B.The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C.Hippocrates thought disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D.Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64.The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that____________.A.the blood was polluted by virusesB.the human body was not evenly balancedC.the patient was in a bad humourD.too much blood was bad for people65.How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A.He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B.He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C.He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D.He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66.Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A.He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B.He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C.He insisted that almost all diseases had supernatural explanations.D.He recognized the importance of the observation and noting of symptoms.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.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.Singapore’s Information Technology StrategySingapore’s information technology strategy rests on two major legs.The first leg is world-class basic facilities.Being a city-state,it is relatively easy to connect every home,office and hotel room.Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere,either wired or wireless.We will make it a readily available utility like water,electricity,gas and telephone.We are well on our way there.We now require,by regulation,every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT(information technology).Like reading,writing and arithmetic,computers are best learnt when we are young.Today’s children can click the mouse faster than we can blink.In many countries,children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology.But,without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT.Like the piano and violin,one can still learn the computer as an adult.But rarely does one acquire the same facility.The strategy in

I__23__(understand)staycation in a wrong way.Evidently,my tendency__24__(take)a break without a plan is unlikely to produce a restorative effect.Instead,one should make good preparations for that period of time.Jaime Kurtz,a psychology professor at James Madison University and the author of"The Happy Traveler:Unpacking the Secrets of Better Vacations,”advises__25_(ask)oneself,“If I were moving away soon,what would I most want to do,and who would I most want to spend time with?"I like this saying"Live every day as if it were your last."Any reminder that time is flying is a good one___26___it gets you to live better.This weekend,you could,for instance,seek out some vegan ice cream___27__doesn't taste terrible.You could try running in a pool,which is easier on the joints but as effective as running on land.You could go for a walk or a drive while listening to "Slow Radio,"a very comforting BBC podcast__28__(feature)sounds of the natural world.Whether or not you have a proper

typicalfeature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China.Skywellswere designed to reduce temperature in buildings well beforeair-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,itcan enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor airis often cooler than indoor air,the incoming wind travels down thewalls to the lower stories and creates__31__by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improveventilation(通风)and harvest rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell issmall but tall,and the rooms around it__32_out sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.Meanwhile,hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell.Architects

facilitating natural lighting,ventilation and rain collection are well known,but applying these methods needs to be__38_.Because traditional skywells had different shapes,sizes and features,which

universal solution.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase

pure joy in early November.I'm pretty sure I've had them at every Thanksgiving since I was a kid,and bites often transport me back to different years and different dining rooms.How and why is it that certain foods give us so much__42___?And what can be said about the kinds of foods we consider most comforting?Science tells us that taste and nutritional content affect how foods make us feel,but certain foods are especially___43___satisfying for reasons that have little to do with their taste or nutritional content.Much of the happiness we get from our favorite foods comes from the memories they stimulate for us and the people we're with while we__44___them.Past and present__45__shape the foods we find comfortingOften,we love food because we have___46___memories associated with it.My mom's mashed potatoes(土豆泥)remind me of holiday joy and past reunions with extended family.We are also drawn to foods we were given early in life by people who cared for us,which can help explain our__47___love for chicken noodle soup,which many parents feed their sick children to make them feel better.The smell of food can__48_powerful memories,too.The part of the brain responsible for processing smell directly connects to the amygdala,a brain region that processes emotions,and the hippocampus,which handles memory.And our memory for smells is__49_and precise, especially when it comes to smell we were first exposed to in childhood.That's why you might catch the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven and be transported back to the first time you baked it with your grandmother.These___50___can go the other way,too.Sometimes you might feel___51___when you eat foods that remind you of loved ones you miss.We may also___52___foods that we associate with bad

orunfinished 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 read.(A)Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman,who together identified a slight chemical change to messenger RNA,were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year.Dr.Karikó,the13l woman to win the prize,had come to the United States from Hungary two decades earlier when her research program there ran out of money.She was preoccupied by mRNA,which provides instructions to cells to make proteins.Defying the decades-old belief that mRNA was clinically unusable,she hold the view that it would stimulate medical innovations.She and Dr.Weissman had their first chance mecting over a copy machine at the University of Pennsylvania in1998.At the time,Dr.Weissman was desperate for new approaches to a vaccine(疫苗)against H.IV.,which had long proved impossible to defend against.A physician who had tried and failed for years to develop a treatment for AIDS,he wondered if he and Dr. Kariko could team up to make an H.I.V.vaccine.For years,they were at a loss.Mice vaccinated with mRNA became inactive.Countless experiments failed.They wandered down one dead end after another.But eventually,the scientists discovered that cells protect their own mRNA with a specific chemical modification(修饰).So they tried making the same change to mRNA manufactured in the lab before vaccinating it into cells.It worked.At first,other scientists were largely uninterested in taking up that new approach to vaccination.But two biotech companies soon took notice:Moderna,in the United States,and BioNTech,in Germany.Then the coronavirus emerged.Almost instantly,Drs.Kariko and Weissman's work came together with several factors of different research to put vaccine makers ahead of the game in developing shot.Brian Ferguson,an immunologist at the University of Cambridge,said.“The work of Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman in the years prior to2020prevented tens of millions of deaths and helped the world recover from the worst pandemic in a century.They richly deserve this recognition."56.The underlined word"defying”(paragraph2)is closest in meaning to"_________.A.challengingB.confirmingC.re-emphasizingD.stating57.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dr.Kariko and Dr.Weissman's research?A.They teamed up for the treatment for AIDS in Hungary.B.They protected their mRNA with a chemical modification.C.They persevered until they made a change to lab-made mRNA,D,They manufactured mRNA in mice despite their countless failures.58.According to Brian Ferguson,Dr.Kariko and Dr.Weissman deserve the recognition becauseA.they took no notice of others'ignoranceB.they caught attention of two biotech companiesC.their work helped avoid the loss of countless livesD.their work prevented the outbreak of the pandemic59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Chemical Changes Identified in the PandemicB.Approaches Adopted to Defend Against H.I.VC.Nobel Prize Awarded to Covid Vaccine PioneersD.mRNA Manufactured in a University

a legal case against Meta,the parent company of Facebook,Instagram,WhatsApp and Messenger,insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them.The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior:Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the internet?Here's what the research has found.②David Greenfield,a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford,Conn.,said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is“intermittent reinforcement,"which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time.But when the reward comes is unpredictable.Adults are easily influenced,he noted,but young pcople are particularly at risk,because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover,the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections,and“social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.”③For many years,the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs,and not behaviors,such as gambling or internet use.That has gradually changed.In 2013,the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,the official reference for mental health conditions,introduced the idea of internet gaming addiction.④A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to"internet addiction."The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language,for instance,noting that terms like“problematic use”and even the word"internet"were open to broad interpretation,given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.⑤Dr.Michael Rich,the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital,said he discouraged the use of the word"addiction"because the internet,if used effectively and with limits,was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.⑥Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary.But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school,sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life.Too many young consumers"can't put it down,"he said."The internet,including social media like Meta,are the drugs affecting the mind.”63.What was Meta accused of?A.It added problematic features to its platform.B.It started a discussion to mislead young people.C.It tempted children to use social media too much.D.It conducted illegal research on its parent company.64.According to David Greenfield,users tend to be addicted to social media and the internet due to_______.A.their under-developed brainB.the random pattern of rewardsC.their desire to be socially connectedD.the possibility of escaping from reality65.What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph4?A.Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.B.The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.C.Current diagnostic criteria of"internet addiction”isn't satisfactory.D.There should be an agreement on the definition of the word"internet".66.Dr.Michael Rich and David Grecnfield both agree thatA.proper use of the internet does good to childrenB.the internet is to blame for disturbing healthy lifeC.there are cases against immoderate use of the internetD.the word"addiction"is improperly used on the internetSection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Do I even want them?On whose clock?B.Why should you challenge that secret timeline of milestones in your head?C.This time,quitting her job led to her first album,television appearances and sold-out shows.D.Instead of feeling pressure to hit life events on someone else's timeline,maybe it's fine to make our own.E.People are feeling like they're falling behind,when in fact they're probably doing exactly what they should.F.She spent years feeling like an outsider and failure as she watched her peers rise in school and work figuring she'd never catch up.Defining Success on Your Own Terms“You go to college right out of high school.That's the rule,right?”says Nikki Ivey,a sales trainer and consultant outside Jacksonville,Fla.However,it's not the case for her.Actually,she got her undergraduate degree at28.________67________One by one,she missed the milestones she'd envisioned in some imaginary dream life: earning six figures by30,buying a house by35.Then she hit one—attaining a high-level executive position in a company.She didn't love the job.She did love sitting around the dinner table laughing with her kids."________68________"she asked herself.She ended up leaving the job,and started to wonder about all those milestones.Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester,N.Y.,Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, "Did anyone make it after the age of35?”At one point,she quit her day job,only to return a year and a half later,due to the pandemic and disappointing bookings.On the last day of2021,five days before her40birthday,she tried again._________69________“I don't know if I could survive this happening to me at19,"she says.She thinks her insecure teen self wouldn'thave handled the stress of the public eye well.It can be hard to make a transition later in life._______70_______IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Why companies are hiring'prompt engineers?With the new generative AI tools,like ChatGPT,anyone can put in a prompt—type in a fewwords and get a result.But that doesn't mean that the results will be relevant or accurate.The key is putting in the right prompt.That's why some businesses are now hiring prompt engineers-people with the skills,background and practice to talk to so-called large-language Al systems effectively-and why many people expect prompt engineering to be a desirable skill for many kinds of workers to add to their resumés.In general,the more detailed the request,the closer the response will come to what the user is looking for.But the most effective prompt engineering goes beyond adding detail.For one thing,adding the right detail to get the best response is crucial.Also,there are many ways to guide how an AI system presents the information it finds,depending on the goal—telling it to write in a certain style or for a certain audience,for instance.Each tool also has particular capabilities and limitations that users can learn to tackle.And the best results often come from an extended conversation with the Al,reacting to what it produces and asking for refinements.Even for people applying to jobs that don't clearly mention prompt engineering,having this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles.Art directors could use generative AI to outline ideas,and marketers could use it to develop new slogans.Software engineers could use it to find problems with their wyers could use it to research a piece of law.This is going to be a foundational skill that all of us need to know.The through line is when you learn a new skill,you can take it in any direction you like.第Ⅱ卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.参观这家博物馆能带你回到20世纪30年代。

After scoring up positive feedback, the review website 31 the pub over fine dining establishments from New York to Paris in its 32 Travelers' Choice awards.So what’s it got going for itFirstly, this isn’t some backwater pub enjoying in insignificance. Tommy Banks, a(n) 33 young cook, is already a TV regular in the UK and has had a Michelin star to his name since becoming the youngest receiver ever in 2013 at the age of 24. Secondly, it's not really a pub anymore. Like many rural UK pubs, the Black Swan had been in 34 for many years before 2006, when Banks' family took over. After their attempts to run it as a pub struggled, they decided to make it a dining 35 .It now operates as both restaurant and fashionable 36 , offering food-and-stay packages that help draw customers to its truly 37 location. It's usually booked up well in advance with 38 coming from near and far. During CNN's visit, neighboring tables included a couple on an overnight break from their kids. Another 39 two of the Banks brothers' old school teachers, on a trip up from York— 40 the kind of crowd that have helped lift the Black Swan to TripAdvisor glory.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages 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.Could Buying Paintings Make You RichIs investing in paintings a good way to get rich fast And how should you invest in art “With extreme 41 ” is the advice of Patrick Connolly, a financial adviser. “Wed o n’t42 our customers to invest in art because the downsides are greater than the upsides. It doesn't produce income or earnings. What you 43 is exclusively based on supply and demand, and there are big movements upwards or downwards if there are changes in the economic environment,” he said.To invest in art as a true investment, you need a starting fund of at least $5,000. But it’s not just about having enough 44 to buy the painting in the first place. Expensive works of art are often stored in protective boxes complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels, and to protect them from sun damage or other 45 such as a spilled cup of coffee. And if you do put it on your wall, then your insurance costs are likely to be high. If word gets out that you have expensive art hanging on your wall, then you're likelyto be a 46 for thieves.Art is also not a regulated investment so when things go wrong –for example, an artwork turns out to be a fraud（赝品）–then investors cannot fall back on 47 for any repayment.Of course given the current environment of low interest rates, that's still a(n) 48 return than many savings accounts will give you. As art has no association to the stock market, it means paintings can 49 in value even when the market crashes, making it a good option for investment 50 .It is reported that after a decrease in the global art market throughout 2016, auction （拍卖） sales 51 in the first six months of 2017. Yet you don't necessarily have to be super-wealthy to invest in art. There are a growing number of art fairs and online marketplaces aimed at buyers with a more 52 budget. Most art industry experts suggest that you buya piece of art because you like it, not because you want to get rich. The most 53 approachis probably to buy something you like and can 54 and, be prepared to keep it just for your own pleasure. If it goes up in value that should be just a(n) 55 benefit.41.

A. added B. maximum C. obvious D. socialSection 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 read.( A )Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of millennials’experiences on their path toward adolescence – their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into thefamily, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all r eal.“Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script（剧本）and there’s no turning back – this is real life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr – played by US actor Ellar Coltrane – from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius... He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary – the power of life itself.56. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experience EXCEPT __________.A. how they deal with their studiesB. how they help look after brothers or sistersC. how they get along with people of their ageD. how much they long to be independent of their parents57. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in commonA. They’re intended to win an award for best director.B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.C. They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth.D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.58. Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” stories because __________.A. they can see the truth of lifeB. they know the characters wellC. they are much fond of gossipD. they appreciate stories of daily life59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passageA. Post-00s are different geniusesB. Actors are ordinary charactersC. Documentary is real lifeD.

It usually disappears in a magic way together with the tin.B. It follows a secret procedure perfected by Joseph Walker.C. It is wrapped in a tin with both Angel and Santa on it.D. It is traditionally family-baked in Scotland.( C )①Australians have long been known for having a relaxed and casual attitude to life.According to Dr Tanya King, senior lecturer from Victoria’s Deakin University, “It’s Australians’ egalitarianism, sense of humor and informal language that are most commonly mentioned as examples of this attitude”.②Egalitarianism roots in the way that the nation was built. In Australia’s founding era in the late 1700s, criminal settlers were often cruelly treated and robbed of their basic human rights by governors. The criminal class, who were mostly working-class Brits and Irish, was unable to seek civic positions that were reserved for immigrants who were not the criminal, with the latter arguing that if criminals gained equal rights it would be ‘rewarding criminality’. Because of this, an egalitarian spirit was worn as a symbol of honor by many criminal settlers. They may not have had power, education or wealth, but they had a shared belief in equality.③The informal way Australians use language is also believed to root in criminal times. Philologist Sidney Baker once wrote that ‘no other class would have a better talent for creating new terms to fit in with their new conditions in life’. Cockney rhyming slang brought over by the British working class was abbreviated even further –so ‘have a Captains Cook’ (have a look), became ‘ava captains’. This same p ractice was used to economize ordinary clauses. Words like ‘good day’ became ‘g’day’, and barbecue was ‘barbie’.④The tough conditions of settler times also played a part in Australians’ dry, self-criticizing and sarcastic（讽刺的） sense of humor. While in ma ny countries it’s considered poor taste to find humor in difficult circumstances, Australians tend to look at the lighter side. On one road trip, as I hit the state line and entered Victoria, I drove past some blackened trees, the leftovers of a recent bushfire. A road sign warning drivers about wildlife was half-melted and bent, but the shape of a hopping kangaroo was still distinct. Behind the figure, someone had drawn flames making it look as though the animal’s tail was on fire. I couldn’t help but laug h –it was a brilliant reminder of the country’s ‘nothing upsets us’ and anti-authoritarian attitude.⑤And one thing you can’t help but notice when driving around Australia is the country’s plentiful amounts of space. This, along with considerable leisure time plus favorable climate, all contribute to Australians’ relaxed attitude.63. The underlined word “egalitarianism” is closest to __________ in meaning.A. criminalityB. crueltyC. equalityD. governmentalism64. Which of the following is a feature of the way Australians use languageA. They use more slangs than other people.B. They give new meanings to existent words.C. They favour shortened forms of expressions.D. They coin terms in memory of criminal times.65. What can be inferred from paragraph 4A. Kangaroos’ living condition s are getting tougher.B. Forest fires threaten Australian s’ life to a great extent.C. Potential danger is here and there on the roads in Victoria.D. Australians’ jokes may not be as careless as they seem on the surface.66. The passage mainly talks about __________.A. how the late 1700s impacted AustraliaB. why Australians enjoy casual life so muchC. what contributes to Australians’ relaxed lifestyleD. how Australians present their attitude towards lifeSection 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.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.Are Open Offices Good for UsFour years ago, Chris Nagele did what many other technology executives have done before –moved his team into an open concept office. His staff had been entirely working from home, but he wanted everyone to be together, to connect and cooperate more easily. It quickly became clear, though, that Nagele had made a huge mistake. Everyone was distracted and productivity suffered and nine employees were unhappy, not to mention Nagele himself. About three years after moving into the open office, Nagele moved the company into a 10,000-square foot office where everyone now has their own space — complete with closing doors.Numerous companies have held the open office —about 70% of US offices are open concept —and very few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research that we’re 15% less productive, we have huge trouble concentrating in open working spaces, has contributed to a growing criticism against open offices.Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increasesteamwork. However, it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when we’re just shooting the breeze in a crowd. Instead, as many of us know, we’re more likely to hear about the Christmas gift a colleague is buying for a family member, or problems with your deskmate’s spouse.For jobs that require focus,like writing, advertising, financial planning and computer programming, some companies that aren’t ready to abandon open plans are experimenting with quiet and closed spaces. The trouble with that, is some of us don’t fe el comfortable leaving the team to go off on our own—it can feel as if we’re not pulling our weight if we’re not present. That’s particularly true in high-pressure environments. Some of us even feel that escaping to a quiet room is a sign of weakness.第II卷（共40分）V.

The article said that flaxseed oil was being investigated as analternative fuel. So one afternoon I decided to find out what would happen if I used it to burn a candle.After collecting the necessary materials, I began my experiment. I filled a test tube with flaxseed oil, put asmall piece of cotton in it, and put the candle in a bowlthat I filled with the oil. Then I lit the candle and waited.To my surprise, the candle actually burned. The flame was small, but it kept burning steadily for quite a long time. I was really amazed.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Here are four simple, healthy and, dare we say, fun ways to help you slim down and stay healthy.Have your cake …for breakfastAside from being depressing, the way to __41__ weight loss isn’t by feeling deprived.Scientists say that people who started off the day with a __42__ felt fuller and more satisfied, and that led to their sticking with the program as the day went on. Being hungry is no way to start your day, so __43__ up with protein and a mouthful of something sweet. And most of all, enjoy! Sleep your way to weight lossDr. Andrew Calvin, one expert of Mayo Clinic study, is quoted as saying, “If individuals are seeking to maintain a healthy weight or to lose weight, they should seek to get enough sleep on a __44__ basis.”If you find it tricky to wind down at night, turn off the __45__ and engage in relaxing activities, like taking a bath or listening to __46__ music.Journal to drop poundsThe best __47__ for a dieter? Pen and paper! Women who wrote down everything they ate lost more weight than t hose who didn’t track their food intake. Journaling makes you accountable and more aware of what you’re eating, so it makes sense that it’ll keep you from __48__ chewing if you aren’t actually hungry.Even a tiny bit of exercise helps your healthEven 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the weeks (broken up into smaller chunks is fine) reduces your risk for all sorts of physical ills.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and comprehend __51__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __52__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never __53__ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself –words. Taken individually, words have little__54__ until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, __55__, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously read one word at a time, often regressing to __56__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common __57__ habit in reading. Another bad habit which __58__ the speed of reading is vocalization – sounding each word either __59__ or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly __60__ rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to “__61__” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically __62__. At first comprehension is __63__ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill __64__ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) __65__ period of time.51. A. quickly B. silently C. thoroughly D. vaguely52.

A. indefinite B. lengthy C. limited D. setSection 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)Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago. She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Jane’s naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Anne’s family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still the re. You can visit Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died.66. What is the theme of Persuasion?A. Never regret what you’ve chosen.B. True love lasts forever.C. Be matched for marriage.D. Love waits for no man.67. Which of the following CANNOT describe Jane’s writing style?A. Her application of symbolism.B. Her delicate observations.C. Her focus on manners and morals.D. Her use of irony.68. Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.69. The article mainly talks about _______.A. Jane Austen’s unique writing styleB. the original residence of Jane AustenC. Jane Austen’s last novel: PersuasionD. the popularity of Jane Austen’s novels( B)70. The phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _____.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid71. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.A.be unable to get money from any LEAB.get money if taking a first degree courseC.get money from LEA when finishing his courseD.have to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A.None.B. £155.C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customer(C)Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. Anewspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor (谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _____.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death o r damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions,slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can’t be excused?Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts suggest drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most roads accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years because of __________.第II卷I.

Who is the online course intended for?A. Trainers．B. Interviewers．C. Job seekers．D. College students．3. Which ofthe following best describes the online course?A Cheap． B. Practical． C. Long-standing． D. World-class．BThe grocerystore might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.4. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.B. Making friends with local people.C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.D. Knowing local people and the country.5. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?A. People's special lifestyles.B. People's shopping habits.C. People's environmental awareness.D. People's packaging methods.6. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.B. Grocery stores are good social places.C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.7. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)A. B.C. D.CEven plant can run a fever，especially when they're under attack by insects or disease．But unlike human，plants can have their temperature taken from 3，000 feet away straight up．A decade ago，adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites，physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress．The goal was to let farmers precisely（精确的）target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field，which always includes plants that don't have pest problems．Evenbetter，Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye．Fixed on a plane flown at 3，000 feet at night，an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops．The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers"．Farmers could then spot﹣spray，using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would．The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984，after only three years．Farmers resisted thenewtechnology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find．But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements（改进）in infrared scanning，Paley hopes to get back into operation．Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works．"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，" says George Oerther of Texas A& M，who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture，thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade．But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago．8. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are ．A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. exposed to extreme sun raysD. inpoor physical condition9. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely，we can use infrared scanning to ．A draw a color1﹣coded mapB evaluate the damage to the cropsC. locate the problem areaD. measure the size of the affected area10. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production11. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．A. full support from agricultural expertsB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceD. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on cropsDPlanned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in thetiming of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at theUniversityofReading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions , which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.12. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A. It has lasted just 150 years.B. It doesn't refer to space weather data.C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.13. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A. To research solar cycles.B. To avoid effects of space weather.C. To meet the needs of the astronauts.D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.14. What does the underlined word “random“ in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Irregular.B. Easy.C. Limited.D. Changeless.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The study is useful for future space missions.B. The planned space missions should be put off.C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.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。

2019-2020学年上海市黄浦学校高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAmid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.3. What may shorten the "sell - by” date of canned foods ?A. Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BAs summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill (灌输) a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe(敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.4. We can learn from the first paragraph about the author?A. He is an adventurous person by natureB. He likes challenging himself by travellingC. He enjoys travelling with other adventurersD He needs others’ help when going on an adventure5. Which of the following can make people’s adventure more enjoyable according to the author？A. Going to different countries.B. Going to unfamiliar places.C. Travelling withtheir family or friends.D. Travelling to distant places by themselves.6. What will the author do this summer？A. Explore Niagara Falls.B. Hike in the Grand Canyons.C. Camp out in upstate New York.D. Hike and camp out in Maine.7. Who is probably the author?A. A high school student.B. A college student.C. A friendly guide.D. A warm-hearted teacher.CA city inSouth Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about30 kmnorthwest of the capital,Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.8. What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Drivers driving after drunk.B. Pedestrians buried in their phones.C. Passengers crazy about phones.D. Policemen in charge of traffic.9. What do we know about the warning system?A. It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.B. It has been spread nationwide.C. It gives a warning to the smartphones.D. It is being tried out in many places.10. What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?A. Negative.B. Unconcerned.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.11. What is the best title for the text?A.South KoreaWarns Smartphone Zombies of TrafficB. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent AccidentsC. Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic AccidentsD.South KoreaUses a New Traffic SystemDDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!12. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.13. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.14. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.15. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.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。

Many thought he was a new dawn for the team. He was building hisfame for his fast pace, with former manager Pep declaring that “you would need agun to stop him.”FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi once alsodescribed Walcott as “one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.”In addition to his speed, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement andtechnique.③It was symbolic that Walcott's goals came from the right-wing.

But what would happen if you ate lots of junk food,every day? Would it seriously damage your health? These were the questions whichled Morgan Spurlock, an independent film-maker, to do an experiment, which hemade into a documentary film entitled Super9 / 12The main basis of his experiment was that Spurlock promised to eat threeMcDonald's meals a day, every day, for a month. He could only eat food fromMcDonald's and every time an employee asked if he would like to “super size”themeal, he had to agree. “Super sizing”refers to the fact that with this type of meal youget a considerable larger portion of everything.Spurlock knew that by eating three McDonald's meals a day, he would consumea lot of fat and a great deal of salt and sugar in each meal—much more than heneeded. Although Spurlock knew he would put on a bit of weight, and that this dietwas unhealthy, he wasn't quite prepared for just how unhealthy it turned out to be.The changes in his body were horrifying in the first week, he put on 4.5 kilos and bythe end of the thirty days he had gained nearly 14 kilos, bringing his total weight to amassive .Spurlock says “I'd love people to walk out of the movie and say, 'Next time I'mnot going to “super size”. Maybe I'm not going have any junk food at all. I'm going tosit down and eat dinner with my kids, with the TV off, so that we can eat healthy food,talk about what we're eating and have a relationship with each other.'”Food forthought indeed.第II卷（共40分）V.

I'm sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) ________ (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) ________ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I've long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ________ (hide) in an empty moon-cake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ________ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don't have to buy (25) ________ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead（铅芯）. You can simply refill your mechanical pencil. There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) ________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) ________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John, stop that! You're going to get lead poisoning!" I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) ________ (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29) ________ ________ the moon-cake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the moon-cake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that three would always be a new pencil for me (30) ________ (use) tomorrow.4Section 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.Science Isn't Always Perfect -- But We Should Still Trust It From environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims. Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political __31__. When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, "because it's science!"For several decades, there has been a(n) __32__ and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are __33__ by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn't wrong, but for many people it's not __34__. After all, just because scientists more than 400 years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn't prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question -- Why trust science? -- is that scientists use "the scientific method." If you've got a high school science textbook lying around the house, you'll probably find that answer in it. But this answer is wrong. But what is __35__ declared to be the scientific method -- develop a hypothesis（假设）, then design an experiment to test it -- isn't what scientists actually do. Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science __36__ changes: new methods get invented, old ones get __37__, and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things. And that's a good thing, because the so-called scientific method doesn't work. False theories can produce true5results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn't prove the theory that was __38__ to test it is true. There also might be many different theories that could produce that same __39__ result. On the contrary, if the experiment fails, it doesn't prove the theory is wrong: it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the __40__.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection 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.Travelling, at least travelling any considerable distance, means dealing with airports. I've seen my share of airports. They come in several __41__. The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both __42__ by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada's Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two __43__ on our flight.At the other extreme are the __44__, modern airports in the world's major cities. LAX, in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you. Some, such as Beijing's Capital International Airport, SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco, like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, have __45__ terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals, which can be a little __46__.Heathrow airport in London, England, __47__ that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various __48__ and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the __49__ that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won't announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and __50__ your gate, some of which are a 15-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no __51__ for this because the airport6authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I'm waiting for another, what I want is a quiet place, not an area __52__ bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel, for me, is interesting but when I have to fly, getting there is __53__ not half the fun. Airplanes are very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n) __54__ part of the process. Most airport do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be __55__, not really enjoyed.41. A. types B. cities C. areas D. sizes42. A. identified B. handled C. promoted D. processed43. A. guards B. astronauts C. pilots D. passengers44. A. tremendous B. crowded C. international D. fashionable45. A. flexible B. multiple C. available D. irregular46. A. exciting B. astonishing C. confusing D. encouraging47. A. regulates B. emphasizes C. encounters D. demonstrates48. A. functions B. departments C. airlines D. authorities49. A. recreation B. presentation C. announcement D. impression50. A. look for B. get to C. meet at D. check out51.

A. effective B. optional C. necessary D. suitable55. A. simplified B. endured C. declared D. paralleledSection BDirections: Read the following two passage. 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)7Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（传记）about herself and begin to note in. "I never did that" or "simply not true" she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even "bloggers" had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit. Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors. Lately, however, she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness. Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset, should they ever catch her out. After all she was the decisive one, always on top of her game. A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table. A full day of openings and presentations, of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood, she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph considered she needed to read, she simply went to visit Mr. Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream, served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache. So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls. Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watched eye of her grandmother, who was a stickler for good manners. It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days, what with all the concern about childhood fatness, but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey. As the timetable for Line-burst line flashed in front of her, she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short, predictable speech at the opening of the now bridge.56. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B. The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C. The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D. Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57. Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A. She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.8B. She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C. She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter wasD. Today's children aren't allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58. A "Sparten menu" (paragraph 4) would most likely ________________________.a. have mainly low fat, healthy foods B. be suitable for a romantic dinnerC. include a range of sweets, but no jellyD. include foods which are easy to transport59. What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A. The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B. The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C. Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D. The main character will update her blog on the internet.(B)Canals have to be built on a level, otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless. This was the great problem facing the early canal builders, and they overcame it in different ways. The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers, such as Thomas Telford, developed a new technique known as 'cut and fill' in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying. This allowed them to fill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took from the higher ground. By this method, very direct routes could be taken, which cut down the time of a journey very considerably. A good example of this type of canal is Telford's Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal, which he began in 1826 to provide a direct route from the Midlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal, of course, whichever method was used, and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered to new levels. If you look at the diagram on the right, you can see a barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin, or pound, from the upper level of the canal. When a barge had to be lowered, water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level of the canal.960. Brindley's canals were less efficient, most likely because ________.A. he was not a good canal engineerB. the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC. his canals were built to keep the water drains outD. they had too many roundabout routes61. According to this passage, why was the 'cut and fill' technique designed?A. The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B. It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C. New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D. The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62. Locks are needed in canals to ________________.A. help boats to travel in both directionsB. keep water levels changing all the timeC. allow large ships to travel in canalsD. transfer boats across differing water levels(C)In the ancient world, the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic. That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today -- that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary. He travelled across Greece teaching medicine, encouraging the view that disease had physical, not super-natural, explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath, a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life, swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm. One of Hippocrates' theories was of the 'four humours', a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body -- blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile (a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to10digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only 150 years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body's internal balance. But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile, they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using carefully observation and logical thought.Aristotle, political theorist, philosopher and teacher, also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view. He was the first to classify organisms, and although his method may seem simple now, he divided them into two basic categories, as either plant or animal -- he was the first to do so. Aristotle valued experimentation are discovered that evaporation, the process of becoming a vapour, turned salt water into fresh water. He was also believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements -- fire, earth, water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours, related to the four liquids in the body, were each in line with organ, a season and with different moods. The four were based on the Greeks' idea of four base elements ( water, fire, earth). Although discredited now, the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the century. They were:- Blood from the liver; associated with Spring; with courage and hope- Phlegm from brain and lungs; Winter; calm and unemotional- Yellow bile from gall bladder（胆囊）: Summer; anger and bad temper- Black bile from spleen（脾脏）: Autumn; with blue and dark mood63. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B. The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C. Hippocrates thought disease was caused by imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D. Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64. The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that ________A. the blood was polluted by virusesB. the human body was not evenly balanced11C. the patient was in a bad humourD. too much blood was bad for people65. How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A. He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B. He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C. He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D. He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66. Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A. He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B. He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C. He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D. He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. 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.Adolescents Worldwide Not Sufficiently Physically Active New WHO-led study says majority of adolescents worldwide are not sufficiently physically12active, putting their current and future health at risk. ________67________ "Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to promote and keep up girls' participation in physical activity," says study author Dr Regina Gut-hold, WHO.The health benefits of a physically active lifestyle during adolescence include improved heart and lungs fitness, bone health and positive effects on weight. There is also growing evidence that physical activity has a positive impact on cognitive development and socializing.________68________.To achieve these benefits, the WHO recommends for adolescents to do moderate or vigorous physical activity for an hour or more each day. The authors estimated 80 percent of teems do not meet this recommendation by analysing data collected through school-based surveys on physical activity levels.________69________ Urgent scaling up is needed of known effective policies and programmes to increase physical activity in adolescents. Multisectoral action is needed to offer opportunities for young people to be active, involving education, urban planning, road safety and others. The highest levels of society, including national, city and local leaders, should promote the importance of physical activity for the health and well-being of all people, including adolescents.________70________ Strong political will and action can address the fact that four in every five adolescents do not experience the enjoyment and social, physical, and mental health benefits of regular physical activity. Policy makers and stakeholders should be encouraged to act now for the health of this and future young generations.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Singapore's Information Technology StrategySingapore's information technology strategy rests on two major legs. The first leg is world-class basic facilities. Being a city-state, it is relatively easy to connect every home, office and hotel room. Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere, either wired or wireless. We will make it a readily available utility like water, electricity, gas and telephone. We are well on our way there.13We now require, by regulation, every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT (information technology). Like reading, writing and arithmetic, computers are best learnt when we are young. Today's children can click the mouse faster than we can blink. In many countries, children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology. But, without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT. Like the piano and violin, one can still learn the computer as an adult. But rarely does one acquire the same facility. The strategy in Singapore is therefore to teach information technology to every child regardless of his family background. The Education Ministry now has a multi-billion dollar programme to provide one computer for every 2 schoolchildren in Singapore from first grade onwards. Every teacher will have a notebook.Most Singaporeans now understand the importance of IT, if not for themselves, at least for their children and grandchildren. Over 40% of households in Singapore now own PCs. Over one-third of households in Singapore already enjoy access to Internet. What we want is for every Singaporean to be computer literate so that he can function effectively in any bank, factory or restaurant, just as one would expect an employee to be able to read, write and count. An employer in Singapore in the future should not have to worry that his employee does not now how to use a computer or the Internet.第II卷V.

We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called“One on One”helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Green will act as mentor to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy t his community service and you are sure to gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your résumé, too —showing that you ’ ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’ d like to sign up, or if you have an y questions, stop by professor Green’s office this week.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What is the main purpose of this talk?12.What is the function of the program mentioned in the passage?13.What does professor Green do according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Increasingly, over the past ten years, people — especially young people — have becomeaware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matters. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been enriched by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount —but not the quality —of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of animals like chickens: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Why have people become more interested in natural foods?15.Which of the following statements is TRUE of natural foods?16.What can be inferred about chickens on battery farms according to the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartmen ts, which one do you like best?W: I don’t know, Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.W: The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You should always put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by visitors.W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors! But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place w as the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner? M: No. Was there one?W: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.W: Yes. I think that apartment is best for your needs. There’ s good parking, and there’s a semi-private area for your desk. That takes care of the daily activities.M: OK. Let’s take that one.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.Why did Brad and Shirley give up the apartment on the 68th Street?18.According to the man, what is wrong with the west window of the 72nd Street apartment?19.Which considerations are crucial in Brad and Shirley’s choice of an apartment?20.Which apartment do the speakers decide to rent?百度盘获取听力音频。

After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change __ 22 __ her eyes move under her closed lids. Fluffy has entered the REM (Rapid Eye Movement), or dreaming, stage of sleep. Although she moves and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs ___ 23 __ (block), so she can't run about.Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, French scientist who was studying steep in cats _____ 24 ___ (interrupt) theirSleep paralysis, the state of being unable to act or function properly. ________ 25 _________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn't see and bent their backs at invisible enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams!What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed _____ 26 __ (practise) important cat skills: stalking, pouncing, and fighting.In ___ 27 _ study, Mat Wilson, a neuroscientist, recorded rats' brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫).One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills __ 28 __ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish ____ 29 __ not. (They're not sure about birds.)How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2hours.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Why Doubt Is Essential To ScienceThe confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them repliedthat it is a(n) ___ 31 __ way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties. Forexample, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their _________ 32 __ b eliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?" 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say "it depends” .But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, science, when properly _____ 33 __ , questions accepted facts and leads to both new knowledge and new questions——not certainty. Doubt does not __ 34 __ trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?As a historian of science, I would argue that it's the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often ______ 35 __ as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge a possible explanation. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new ____ 36 ___ emerges from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are hypotheses that contain the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it stimulates us towards a better understanding, certainties, as ______ 37 ___ as they may seem, in fact block the scientific process.Scientists understand this, but in the ____ 38 __ force between the public and science, there are two significant traps. One is a form of blind ___ 39 __ that is, a belief in the capacity of science to solve all problems. And the otheris a form of relativism borne out of a lack of ____ 40 __ in the very existence of truth.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages 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.This era of u Industry 4.0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can __ 41 __ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) ___ 42 __ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. _____ 43 ___ robots focused on single, fixed, high-speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4.0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently, which ______ 44 __ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.For large-scale manufacturers, Industry 4.0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and ______ 45 __ remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be ___ 46 __ studied using wh at is known as “ big data " analysis. This will help____ 47 ___ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plant, for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically _____ 48 __ it.For __ 49 ___ m anufacturing business, Industry 4.0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform ____ 50 __ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for ____ 51 __ .While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today9s industrial artificial intelligence operates at a ___ 52 __ level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.What's coming next is known as “deep learning v. Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to ____ 53 __ what is the best action to take.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub, it is not really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to socialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of British society. After all, the word 'pub' is actually short for 'public house'.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of Nottingham called 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem J, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which King Richard the First came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thafs how it used to be, but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financial measure, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the members of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as ' binge drinking',and it causes long-term health problems for individuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UKgovernment is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the world.B.British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of life.C.Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bans.D.Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban.57.Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm?A.To stimulate customers to spend more on drinks.B.To help British pubs survive economic downturns.C.To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubs.D.To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain.58.The term “binge drinking,,in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describe ________ .A.drinking too much and too quicklyB. social problems related to British pubsC. a new long term drinking approachD. problems caused by drinking too much59.What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A.Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.B.Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinking.C.The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubs.D.Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones.The Coming SeriesExpress Yourself!-The Art of CartooningTime: Thursday, January 6,18:30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Books and filmsC. Entertainment and interactionD. Heroes and achievements(C)Ellen Weiss can hardly see. David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's crudest blows? Not really. Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26. They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. " Residents are usually young and healthy, ”says Dr. Stephen Brunton. "They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through.v Role-playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent walking. Then the erasatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore, undressing for X rays, filling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.At long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay. The staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them. Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking/' But by the end of a few hours, most says, ‘I'm exhausted,J "observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was doing up my collar.v And, to his surprise, "I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would costand how hard it was to go and pick it up." Weiss also learnt： "I realized how little I talk to patients. I might askthem about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed, eat OK, take your medicine?' ” Jeffrey Ortiz thought he wasin for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from “chest pains.” Instead he spent a sleepless night: u People were coming in to to labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor was bleeping, which was noisy and scary. ”Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy. Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. " By concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients9well-being,” observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63.According to the passage, the role-playing programme is designed _____ .A.as an innovative part in the local communityB.as part of the play the residents have to watchC.to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD.to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64.What does the phrase “the ersatz invalids" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Local patients who usually start out activated and joking.B.Students who make up their faces to look aged.C.Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.D.Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65.The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they _____ .A.fill in a Medicare tableB.are using the washroom on their ownC.are issued bedpans and told to try themD.meet with someone they know well66.What can be concluded according to the passage?A.Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.B.Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.C.Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients, health only by focusing on symptoms.D.Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgement.Section CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentencecan be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Social Integration一Welcoming the NewcomersSocial integration is the process through which minority groups interact, come together or are incoiporated within a community. Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society, and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community. How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic, social, political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society. ______ 67 __ This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races, and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social, cultural, economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighbourhoods, work places, schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. ____ 68 ___ E specially among the younger children, being in the same classas their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports, community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance. From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in school, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause. Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration. In fact, sport can strengthen social networks and promote non- violence and respect. In these ways, meaningful relationships among those of different ages, racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.__ 69 __ Still, countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped.

Use your own words as far as possible.Seniority in Promotion Is Not Wise Business PracticeIt's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past, promotingan employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees9 past performance and seniority. In some case, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amountof time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out. However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are more likely to Generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sough by many companiesin order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs, companies have more to gain by selecting outside employeessince they are more willing to try new techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need towait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put, no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder. As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in theentire industry. As a result, they will begin to show more effort to bring the level of their work up to what they imagine is a much higher standard.第II卷V .

More companies prefer to select outside employees in promotion instead of considering employees' past performance and seniority mainly for two reasons/advantages.

But there are also argume nts (23) such a stro ng con clusi on.Firstly, experts point out that the isolated love affair betwee n childre n andpare nts (24) ________ (find) in moder n societies does not usually exist intraditional societies.

But tests(26) _______ have bee n used to measure this developme nt are not widely en oughaccepted to settle the issue.But Bowlby's an alysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more men tal ill ness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics.

Even though the company's available are dinners frozen meatless andpies, “ beef ” strips, “ chicken ”nationwide, Beyond Meat is hardly a household name.④ That may be what makes the news of Tyson's investment all the more noteworthy.While the two companies declined to give details about the deal, it's doubtful thatdentcoffers ( 金凹陷 ) in the meat gTyson's 5 percent stake made much of iant's( company posted $ billion in sales last year; prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat hadreportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding Tyson earns before lunch on anygiven day.⑤ Tyson is doing pretty great.

Would You B Say you're driving down atwo-way street and there's a truck unloading a delivery in the opposite lane. The oncoming traffic needs to pull out into your lane to overtake.What do you do?___67___ Eventually one of us feels charitable and slows down to allow the oncoming car to overtake and give permission with a quick flash of headlights or a wave of the hand.But what if the car waiting patiently behind the parked truck is a driverlessor autonomous vehicle (AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean when you flash your lights or wave your hands?Its sensors could decide that it's only safe to overtake when there's no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school home time, this may be never, leading to increasingly angry drivers queuing behind.___68___ This is one of the conclusions to be drawn from research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioural science department at the London School of Economics.His Europe-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines won't have enough common sense to interact with human drivers, and more than two-fifths think a robot car would remain stuck behind our assumed parked truck fora long time.Driving isn't just about technology and engineering, it's about human interactions and psychology. The road is a social space. ___69___ “ If you view the road as a social space, you will consciously negotiate your journey with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortable engaging with AVs than with human drivers, ” says Mr Tennant in his report.trotted out ( 动不动就搬出___70___ A statistic often ) is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of accidents, with our tendency to road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration.IV.
