After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting theiranimals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of areliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.Farming was a revolutionary discovery. Itnot only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it alsomade available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more peoplecould be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food, a community could support a variety ofworkers who were not farmers.Farming in the world over has always reliedupon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant riversand streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up alongrivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainyseasons.All of theancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of afew differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods becamepossible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood, brick, and stonecould be put up.The scienceof mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons. In sodoing they created the first calendars(日历). With acalendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing season. Measurementof land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurementsof amounts, for e_ample, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming andhousekeeping. Later came measures of value as money e_change became common.All of themajor ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and Chinaappeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. In this area peoplesettled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind offarming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.26. The final result of the development of agriculture wasthat_________ .A. the populationincreased slowlyB. a constant supply offood was certainC. a new social formationcame into beingD. a variety of jobs wereopen to people27. Which of the following is true according to the writer?A. Mathematics helpedcreate the agricultural society.B. Societies in the pastin different parts of the world grew in similar ways.C. Modern cities developedout of originally wealthier villages.D. Cloth-making marked animportant period in agricultural development.28. The development of mathematics ________ .A. enabled people toarrange their agricultural activities betterB. got the society out ofthe agricultural ageC. helped create earlyagricultural civilization around the worldD. made possible thee_change of agricultural goods29. It can be safely concluded that _______ .A. the development of mathematics played adecisive role in the birth of modern citiesB. the earliestcivilization first came into being in the Middle EastC. all ancientcivilizations around the world developed in e_actly the same wayD. the development ofagriculture played a very important role in human history30. The te_t is mainly about _________ .A. the importance ofagricultureB. the relationshipbetween agriculture and mankindC. the origin ofagricultureD. the ancient civilizationBRescuers have found the bodies of over 130people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during astorm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．The two ferries sank in different riversnear the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．The government has since banned allferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries,MV Mitali,was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into aspace made for just 300,police said．The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．〝The number of deaths is certain to rise．〞said an official in charge of therescue work．〝No onereally knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived.〞 Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passengerlists,making it difficult to determinethe e_act number of people on board． Besides the ferry accidents,at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes．falling houses and trees and thesinking of small boats． Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh,as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people． Officials blame these riveraccidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats andnotenough checks on weather conditions． Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about230 rivers．Some 20,000ferries use the nation’s Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．Since 1977, more than 3,000 peoplehave died in some 260 boating accidents．31．________ people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters.A.Over 130B.At least 40C.About 400D.

They sank somewhere near Dhaka．CThe two things – snow and mountains – whichare needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large massof snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain—often called ;White Death.;It was the threat of the avalanche and itsrecord as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937 –38 atAlta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest.This mountain valley was becoming wellknown to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers. Ittakes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in e_cellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber Heshould have at least a high school education, and the more college courses ingeology, physics, and related fields he has, the better.He studies snow, terrain, wind, andweather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides toreduce their killing strength. . The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.The snow ranger, dressed in a green parkawhich has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep inpowder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area’s operator as he goesabout his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steepmountain slopes.36. The snow rangers are employees of_______A. the Forest Service.B. the Resource Bureau.C. the Tourist Board.D. the Sports Bureau.37.A snow ranger himself must be ______A. a college graduate.B. a physicist.C. a geologist.D. a mountaineer.38. A snow ranger uses very powerful gunsA. to warn skiers of an approachingavalanche. B. to signalfor help in an emergency.C. to create an avalanche.D.to communicate with the ski area’ operator.39. The primary duty of the snow ranger is_______A. To make sure ski area operators arefollowing safety rules.B. To predict and control avalanches inmountainous areas.C. To check skis and repair them.D.To forecast the weather.40.The passage implies that a snow rangerA. knows how to use a pistol.B.must write lengthy reports on his work.C. may travel many miles when he is onduty.

I’m sure you will 30 . After all, someday we will be 31 ourselves and will want our own children to protect them. So I have a plan for32 the painting in the old temple, which is a fine cultural relic33 in our hometown. It should be protected because it was painted by a 34__ artist of the early Qing Dynasty.

McKay was included in a list of university alumni （校友） who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives （档案馆） in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal FlyingCorps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron （中队） as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the m ost famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.Mc Kay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in Nov ember 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ （阵亡）next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”51. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.C. A book on McKay.D. A picture of McKay.52. What did the students find out about McKay?A. He trained pilots for some time.B. He lived longer than other pilots.C. He died in the Second World War.D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.53. McKay’s flying document s were destroyed in .A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England54. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .A. preferred fight to his studyB. went to war before graduationC. left a picture for Corey EverrettD. set an example for his fellow students55. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.BEvery object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glanc e it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.56. Which of the following is right?A. it was found on a famous trailB. it was an important clue to life in the pastC. it at one time belonged to a VIPD. it was a fashionable shoe at that time57. According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska _______.A. eventually became millionairesB. were not properly equippedC. were very poorD. brought with them many shoes58. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ___.A. they would not die of hunger and coldB. the army would have enough food for fighting a warC. they would change these goods with the EskimosD. the supplies would make Alaska rich59. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______.A. she must have been a brave woman.B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purposeC. her adventurous spirit is definitely admiredD. her other shoes were equally fashionable60. what’s the best title of the passage?A. special shoe whose ower is a woman.B. the sad story about the shoe.C. the old shoe that has a special. story.D. gold seekersCJune 26, 2000 —the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policymakers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases . Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.61. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A. Because the human genome can help us live longer.B. Because they wanted to be better known than others.C. Because the human genome can provide a lot of moneyD. Because the human genome's completion can help them get ridof many diseases.62. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with a poisonedpellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Markov’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been able to spread.The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped to catch their attackers. 66.Which of the statement is right about the underlined word?A．stranger B．well-known C．friendly D. unknown67．Which of the following was not mentioned in the passage?A．George Markov was working for the BBCB．George Markov wrote many plays at that timeC．kostov was “shot” with a poisoned pelletD．Both kostov and George Markov died at last 68．According to the passage, Markov’s suspicions turned out to beA．wrong B．rightC．reasonable D．unreasonable 69．Who killed Markov?A．Bulgarian B．notknown C． French D．British70.

2022-2023学年上海市实验学校高三下学期3月周练英语试题

II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A Chinese civilian unmanned airship un-intendedly entered US airspace last week due to force majeure and was shot down by the US military on Saturday. For days, US politicians and media have hyped up this incident, claiming it was a spy in the sky. Is this a part of China's surveillance program or an accidental incident overplayed by US politicians and media to smear China?Last Friday, China confirmed that the airship was from China, noting that it was an unitended entry caused by force majeure. According to a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, the balloon was a civilian airship used mainly for meteorological research that went off __21__ planned course due to winds and had limited self-steering capability. __22__ the US spotted the airship, the Chinese side informed the US side of the civilian nature of the airship and conveyed that its entry into the US was unexpected. China has actively communicated with the US and worked with the US to properly handle this unexpected situation in a calm, professional, and __23__ (restrain) manner.It is not the first time in the world that balloons for scientific research __24__ (go) out of control. In 1998, a Canadian weather balloon - __25__ (conduct) scientific research for the Canadian Space Agency, Environment Canada, and the University of Denver in the US - went rogue due to a technical malfunction. The balloon failed to come down as planned and drifted across Canada toward the Atlantic Ocean. The balloons drifted in the sky for nine days, __26__ (enter) many countries' airspace, and finally landed on Finland's Mariehamn Island. The current Chinese balloon is a similar style to the Canadian balloon.According to __27__ US official, the balloon's payload - the part under the balloon - is the size of two or three school buses. If the balloon is __28__ the US claimed as "part of an espionage program," it didn't make sense for China to choose such a giant balloon visible to civilians with the naked eye __29__ the US side would easily detect. Also, the US senior defense official acknowledged that the balloon "never posed a military or physical threat to the American people."It is not the first time the US side has made groundless accusations __30__ China of spying. However, the US never provided any substantial evidence to prove their suspicion. As a responsible country, China strictly adheres to international law and respects other countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need."Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity," wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a garment's journey.That model is almost __31__ in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month, often at pocket-money prices; though the low cost is a godsend for the hard-up, many purchases are discarded after a few outings, or never worn at all. Clothes Aid reports that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothing goes to landfill in the UK each year.Yet a gradual revival of the secondhand trade has gathered pace in the last years. At fashion website Asos, vintage sales have risen by 92%. It was once worn out of __32__; then it became the quirky choice of Jarvis Cocker-style misfits and the label of "vintage" gave it cachet. Now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell cast-off items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and fashionistas offer designer labels on V estiaire Collective. __33__, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers want a slice of the action. Cos, owned by H&M, has launched a resale service on its website. Selfridges already has a vintage channel. Asda announced last week that it would sell secondhand clothing in 50 supermarkets, following a successful __34__ project.For some buyers and sellers, the __35__ to secondhand is born of pandemic-induced financial need. Others have become queasy at working conditions in factories, or the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. One concern is that mainstream brands may "__36__" - using relatively small volumes of secondhand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability. Another worry is that good causes are losing out as people trade rather than __37__ unwanted clothes. The biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the buzz of the next purchase but with a(n) __38__ conscience and healthier bank balance.A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional resonance that clothes can have, each item "a memoir in miniature", writes Emily Spivack, whose book gave rise to the show. A handbag from a grandmother; a scarf passed on by a father, garment that made people feel confident in their first job - almost everyone has at least one item they cherish. Perhaps we could cultivate such __39__. A love of style is not a bad or trivial thing. But a(n) __40__ relationship is better than a quick fling. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as other people's? 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.Sounds of Mars wind captured by Nasa's InSight landerThe sound of the wind on Mars has been captured for the first time by Nasa's InSight lander, which was __41__ to Mars and touched down on the red planet 10 days ago.The agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) __42__ a piece of processed audio of the alien wind on Friday evening. InSight collected the low-frequency rumblings during its first week of operations.The wind is __43__ to be blowing at between 10 and 15 mph. These are the first sounds from Mars that are __44__ by human ears, according to the researchers."Capturing this audio was an unplanned __45__," said Bruce Banerdt, the InSight principal investigator at Nasa's lab in California. "But one of the things our mission is __46__ to is measuring motion on Mars and naturally that includes motion caused by sound waves."Nasa presented the sounds at a news conference on Friday. Cornell University's Don Banfield told reporters they __47__ him of "sitting outside on a windy summer afternoon ... in some sense, this is what it would sound as if you were sitting on the InSight lander on Mars."Scientists involved in the project said the sound has a thought-provoking, quality. Thomas Pike of Imperial College London said the rumbling was "rather different to anything that we've experienced on Earth, and I think it just gives us another way of __48__ how far away we are getting these signals."The noise is of the wind blowing against InSight's solar panels and the resulting vibration of the entire spacecraft. The sounds were __49__ by an air pressure sensor inside the lander that is part of a weather station, as well as the seismometer（地震仪）on the deck of the spacecraft.The low frequencies are a result of Mars' very thin air __50__, which is almost entirely made up of carbon dioxide, and, even more so, the seismometer itself, which is meant to detect underground seismic waves that are well below the threshold of human hearing. The seismometer will be moved to the Martian surface in the coming weeks. Until then, the team plans to record more wind noise.The 1976 Viking landers on Mars __51__ spacecraft shaking caused by wind, but it would be a(n) __52__ to consider it sound, said Banerdt.InSight landed on Mars on 26 November. "We're all still on a high from the landing last week ... and here we are less than two weeks after landing, and we've already got some amazing new science," said Nasa's Lori Glaze, the acting director of __53__ science. "It's cool. It's fun."On the surface of Mars, InSight will draw on a suite of instruments to study the planet's internal structure. A seismometer deployed by a robot arm will act as a(n) __54__ to the ground and listen for tremors produced when subterranean rock faces slip past one another along geological fault-lines（断层线）. Scientists expect InSight to record anything from a dozen to 100 Marsquakes of magnitude 3.5 or greater over the lander's two-year mission. The seismometer is so __55__ that it can detect vibrations smaller than the width of an atom.41. A. transferred B. launched C. delivered D. orbited42.

A. delicate B. sensible C. accurate D. sensitiveSection 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.(C)Alan Jamieson remembers seeing it for the first time: a small, black fiber floating in liquid. It resembled a hair, but when Jamieson examined it under a microscope, he realized that the fiber was clearly synthetic -- a piece of plastic. And worryingly, his student Lauren Brooks had pulled it from the gut of a small amphipod living in one of the deepest parts of the ocean.For the past decade, Jamieson, a marine biologist at Newcastle University, has been sending vehicles to the bottom of marine trenches（海沟）, which can be as deep as the Himalayas are tall. These landers have collected amphipods -- scavenger relatives of crabs and shrimp that thrive in the abyss. Jamieson originally wanted to know how these animals differ from one distant trench to another. But a few years ago, he decided to analyze their body for toxic, human-made pollutants, which have been banned for decades but which persist in nature for much longer.The team found much PCBs（多氯联苯）. Some amphipods were carrying levels 50 times higher than those seen in crabs from one of China's most polluted rivers. When the news broke, Jamieson received calls from journalists and concerned citizens. And in every discussion, one question kept coming up: What about plastics?The world produces an estimated 10 tons of plastic a second, and between 5 million and 14 million tons sweep into the oceans every year. Some of them washes up on beaches. About 5 trillion pieces currently float in surface waters, mostly in the form of tiny, easy-to-swallow fragments that ends up in the gut of albatrosses, sea turtles, plankton, fish, and whales. But those pieces also sink, snowing into the deep sea and upon the amphipods that live there."It's not a good result," Jamieson said. "I don't like doing this type of work." When he submitted his findings to a scientific journal, the researchers who reviewed the paper reasonably asked how he could tell that the fibers were actually plastic. "Our response was, 'Some of it'spurple!'" Jamieson says."There's bits of pink in there. This doesn't come from animals." To satisfy the critics, his team chemically analyzed a subset of the fibers and found that all of it was synthetic.Other scientists have also found plastic litter in the deep: just last year, one team documented a plastic bag at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Until now, no one had shown that abyssal animals were actually eating those fragments, but it seems obvious that amphipods would. When a morsel（食物碎屑）hits the ocean floor, amphipods turn up in droves.Food is scarce in the deep, so amphipods eat pretty much anything, which makes them particularly vulnerable to plastics. And since they sit at the bottom of the ocean food webs, t heir appetite can upset entire ecosystems. "They're like bags of peanuts," Jamieson says, "Everything else eats amphipods -- shrimp, fish -- and they'll end up consuming plastics, too. And when the fish die, they get consumed by amphipods, and it goes round and round in circles.""I imagine pollution in the Mariana Trench is an abstract concept for most people, but for those of us living in the Mariana Islands this has consequences for what ends up on our dinner plates," says Angelo Villagomez, from the Mariana Islands who works for the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project. "So what can we do? The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recommends we protect 30 percent of every marine habitat to address human impacts, but that will only help if we're also sustainably managing the remaining 70 percent, reducing carbon emissions, and limiting the pollution being dumped in the ocean in the first place."63. The underlined word "abyss" in the passage is closest in meaning to _________?A. bottomless holeB. high peakC. distant areaD. endless pain64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Amphipods begin to produce fibers due to marine pollution.B. Jamieson ended up knowing the difference between animals in different trenches.C. Jamieson has proved the fibers they found were generated by humans.D. Amphipods consume almost everything in oceans and often attack other creatures.65. By saying "their appetite can upset entire ecosystems", the author means _________?A. Amphipods consuming too much marine resources affect the balance of nature.B. Amphipods can produce chain effects since they are food resources of others.C. Amphipods have occupied a lot of ocean space because of their appetite.D. Amphipods' habitat should be protected so as to address human impacts.66. Which of the following can be the best title of passage?A. Amphipods threatened by plastic litterB. Marine pollution - a big problemC. The disturbed ecosystem in the seaD. Most troubling discovery in the deepest ocean.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."The greatest scientists are artists as well," said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. (67) _________ As he told one friend, "When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I find that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge. All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.But how did art differ from science for Einstein? Surprisingly, it wasn't the content of an of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea impressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. (68) _________ That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics conference in Kyoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his problems and found words, logical symbols or mathematical equations later.(69) _________ "If I were not a physicist," he once said, "I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music. Whenever I feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work, I would bury myself in music, and that would usually solve all my difficulties."Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial and structural aspects. "The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition. My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. (70) _________" said Einstein.第II卷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. Why Do Chinese Parents Prefer Legos to Barbies?Budding engineers cluster around a table-sized model of the China Art Museum, a landmark of Shanghai, adding helipads, carrot patches and other improvements with colorful bricks. Prising a child from Lego's vast shop near People's Square can be like un-sticking two stubborn bits of Lego. Li Yang, visiting for a few days from Shenzhen, has been waiting for her daughter for twohours. Zhu Yunfei, watching his son, marvels at the variety: "Coming here to play with him is making up for my childhood," he says. They drop by every week.Lego's rise in China has been rapid and dramatic. In 2017 it overtook Alpha Group, a local giant, to become the country's leading toy company (not including video games). In the past two years it has opened 89 stores. It wants 50 more by December, which will bring it to 30 cities. Its first Chinese factory started molding bricks in 2016. The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm's Chinese arm notches up "very strong double digits," says Paul Huang, its boss.It has done so even as the brick maker's global business has looked shakier. In 2017 Lego cut 1,400 jobs and recorded its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each. Lego has thus retained its status as the world's biggest toy-maker, taken from Mattel in 2014 -- even as its American rival last year earned its highest revenues in five years from its Barbie dolls.Newly affluent parents in China have helped Lego recover. "We have not maxed out there, by far," says Niels Christiansen, whom Lego brought in as chief executive two years ago. As in the West, the educational merits of bricks appeal to Chinese parents. Last year 98% of those surveyed Lego said that play was essential for their child's well-being, even more than Americans and Danes.V.

On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From TV newsC. From a newspaper.D. From a stranger.57.Which of the following is TRUE?A. The author used to get to work by bike.B. The author’s husband often parked the bike beside the back door.C. Several strangers offered bikes to them, but they only accepted oneof them.D. Somebody had stolen their bike before, but soon returned it to the author.58.What do we learn from the couple’s experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.59. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. They used it for work and daily life.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. The man’s job was bike racing.60. We can conclude that _______A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family.CThe literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D. ) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychologyTwo broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management andleadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict61. What’s the meaning of philosophy according to the passage？A. social sciencesB. both social and natural sciencesC. natural sciencesD. the subject matter of politics62. What does “discipline” mean in the first paragraph?A. literatureB. scienceC. subjectD. occupation63. With the study of philosophy, you can .A. make progress in your career developmentB. succeed in everythingC. find a good job soon after graduationD. become a great leader64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.B. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.C. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.65. From the passage, we can conclude .A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophyB. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsC. a person will get a Ph.D. if he/she studies philosophyD. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the worldDWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using , which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost t hem a penny.Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,”says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support throug h their clicks. then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.66. What does “wugging”show According to the passage?A. a websiteB. a school organizationC. a student movementD.a charity-related action67. In the case of charity, ______.A. receives much money from studentsB. offers valuable information to studentsC. frees students of the financial worriesD. praises students for their money-raising 68. What does we think of the “wugging” movement?A. It makes popular in the UK.B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it.C. It results in students’ more social awareness.D. It helps students to save money.69. From the passage, we can inferred that ______.A. “wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charitiesB. most full time students do charity on the Internet every dayC. helps students pay for the college educationD. is the most successful search engine in the UK70. What’s the general idea of this passage?A. “Wugging”, a new popular term on the Internet.B. More Britain charities benefit from the Internet.C. Students raise money for charity by “wugging”.D. British people show strong interest in charity.星期一（U1-M2）第一节单项填空1—5 DBBBA 6-10 DDCDC 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 ACDCC 21-25 CABAA第二节完形填空26-30 DBCAA 31-35 ACADB 36-40 BACDB第三节语法填空41. to 42. amazing 43. which 44. because 45. it 46. was selected47. like 48. room 49. decorated 50. to make第四节阅读理解51-55 DBBCB 56-60 CBDAD 61-65 BCACB 66-70 DCBAC。

K.consequentialAbraham Lincoln did not free the enslaved.The enslaved freed themselves.For decades, historians have argued for the agency of Black Americans in__31__their own libertaion during the Civil War.But Lincoln's entire presidential legacy is often summarized in an easy one-liner: "Lincoln freed the slaves."Lincoln is perhaps one of the few presidents who require constant revisiting.This Juneteenth, I'm honored to revisit Lincoln's personal and political legacy,particularly focusing on how he faced the deadliest and most__32__war in U.S.history.Equally important,it emphasizes the role of Black leaders,abolitionists（废奴主义者）,and political activists who convinced Lincoln to transform the nation.In America,slavery died a(n)__33__death on the ground.During the Civil War,enslaved people did not wait for White liberators.They saw many of their slaveholders leave to fight,and so they left for freedom.Enslaved people by the hundreds of thousands ran away to Union lines and Northern cities to escape their__34__.Their massive migration forced the nation to place the end of slavery on the national political__35__.We have looked for abolition in all the wrong places.Freedom did not come from the White House or Congress.Black people were not given freedom;they forced freedom to become a national mandate（授权）.The Emancipation Proclamation freed the enslaved in__36__states,but we should remember that Louisiana,Maryland,Missouri,Tennessee,and West Virginia also officially ordered abolition on their own.Because the enslaved were escaping,the nation had no choice.While we can__37__Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation formally,it was abolitionist and national leader Frederick Douglass who convinced Lincoln to use freedom as a weapon.Douglass pushed Lincoln to make abolition the heart and cause of the war.He persuaded Lincoln to allow Black men to fight and__38__in the military,and to compensate them equally.Unknown to many, Douglass is the real hero behind much of Lincoln's success.In the end,Lincoln's real issue was not reuniting the Confederacy（南部邦联）with America, nor was it even freeing enslaved people.It was getting White Americans,himself included,to give up their obsession with White supremacy.This question remains for every president elected to__39__:What to do with White people?Lincoln is flawed,but he was also willing to reflect and listen.I appreciate Lincoln the most for his willingness to understand and eventually act upon the encouragement of Black leaders and their White allies to__40__freedom,citizenship,and voting rights to African Americans.(B)A.reportedlyB.abandonedC.interveneD.prioritizedE.typicallyF.accountableG.unavoidableH.plungedI.honorJ.stemsK.liquidSilicon Valley Bank collapsed Friday morning after a stunning48hours in which a bank run and a capital crisis led to the second-largest failure of a financial institution in Us history.A bank run happens when too many account holders withdraw their money at the same time and the bank cannot__41__their requests.California regulators closed down the tech lender and put it under the control of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.The FDIC is acting as a receiver（官方接管人）,which __42__means it will liquidate the bank's assets（资产）to pay back its customers,including depositors and creditors.The wheels started to come off on Wednesday,when SVB announced it had sold a bunch of securities at a loss and that it would sell$2.25billion in new shares to support its balance sheet（资产负债表）.That triggered a panic among key venture capital firms,who__43__advised companies to withdraw their money from the bank.The company's stock price__44__on Thursday,dragging other banks down with it.By Friday morning,SVB's shares were halted and it had__45__efforts to quickly raise captial or find a buyer.Several other bank stocks were temporarily halted Friday,including First Republic, PacWest Bancorp,and Signature Bank.The mid-morning timing of the FDIC's takeover was noteworthy,as the agency typically waits until the market has closed to__46__."SVB's condition deteriorated so quickly that it couldn't last just five more hours,"wrote Better Markets CEO Dennis M.Kelleher."That's because its depositors were withdrawing their money so fast that the bank was insolvent（破产的）,and an intraday closure was__47__due to a classic bank run."Silicon Valley Bank's decline__48__partly from the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes over the past year.Despite initial panic on Wall Street over the run on SVB,which caused its shares to crater, analysts said the bank's collapse is unlikely to set off the kind of domino effect that gripped the banking industry during the financial crisis."The system is as well-0capitalized and__49__as it has even been,"Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi said."The banks that are now in trouble are much too small to be a meaningful threat to the broader system."President Joe Biden told Americans that he would seek to hold those responsible__50__.He also called for better oversight and regulation of large banks.He promised no losses would he paid for by taxpayers.III.Reading ComprehensionsSection AJudicial（司法的）processes involve slow,deliberative thinking.Artificial intelligence(AI) involves mind-blowing computational speed.On March2nd,in a hearing at the Supreme Court in London,these two__51__came together to raise big questions for intellectual property in the age of machines.In2019Britain's Intellectual Property Office denied Stephen Thaler,an American computer scientist,patents for two inventions--a beverage container and a search-and-rescue device.The applications were not denied because the inventions lacked__52__,but because the named inventor was not a human being.AI is often used as a tool to help researchers find new inventions.Applicants normally put the name of the person(or person)who worked most closely with the__53__as the inventor.Until now this has not been a problem because AI has always required human__54__.But Dr Thaler asserts that his"creativity machine",DABUS(short for"Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience"),had come up with the two inventions without any intervention and that it would be__55__to claim that he was the inventor.He is making the same argument in other jurisdictions（司法审判）.But this is the first time it has reached a country's highest court.The immediate stakes may not seem that high.The British government conducted aconsultation in2021on patents and AI;__56__Dr Thaler's claims,most respondents said AI is not sufficiently advanced to invent without human involvement.And a ruling in his favor in Britain alone would have limited commercial consequences."There is very little point in only the UK__57__AI inventions,"says Matt Hervey of Gowling WLG,a law firm."If a company has a feasible choice to keep its__58__a secret and exploit it,it won't disclose the secret in a patent application to get a monopoly in only one country."__59__,the technology is moving fast and the questions raised by the case are profound. There is ambiguity（模棱两可）in British law over who,or what,can claim__60__for an invention.The Patents Act of1977was written long before its drafters could imagine robots creating anything and refers to the inventor as the"deviser".If the Supreme Court does interpret the law to include machines,that could weaken the social__61__on which patents are based. Inventors are encouraged to innovate on the understanding that if they disclose their inventions in a patent,they will be granted monopoly（垄断）rights to__62__their investment.An AI is different:robots do not require any incentive（激励）to innovate.If the court decides that only a human inventor can hold a patent,its view on how rights can be legitimately transferred from an AI to humans(particularly if it is not clear how the AI works) will be closely watched.__63__a machine has not yet created a medical product on its own,Avi Goldfarb,an economist researching AI and health care at the University of Toronto,worries that if such inventions are not__64__there will be little incentive for firms to create machines that do drug research.The court is expected to deliver its ruling in a few months.It will not be__65__.51.A.worlds B.cultures C.industries D.departments52.A.capital mitment C.novelty D.initiative53.A.machine B.innovation anization D.scheme54.A.subscription B.variation C.recognition D.assistance55.A.contradictory B.dishonest C.reassuring D.justifiable56.A.on account of B.in line with C.in spite of D.by virtue of57.A.denying B.protecting C.pursuing D.suspending58.A.revenue B.strategy C.perception D.invention59.A.Therefore B.However C.Additionally D.Actually60.A.credit B.charge C.monopoly pensation61.A.phenomenon B.routine C.bargain D.conventions62.A.recover B.stimulate C.withdraw D.transfer63.A.As B.Unless C.Once D.Although64.A.applicable B.original C.substantial D.patentable65.A.the last word B.a flash in the pan C.once in a blue moon D.the silver liningSection BAI confess I hesitated when the editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine told me in late2014that I would be editing a new front-of-book column called Letter of Recommendation, about stuff people really like.The column was the brainchild of our staff writer,Sam Anderson,he explained.Sam figured that there was no shortage of places to find out what writers hate but few spaces for writers to talk about what they love.We would push against this trend,900words a week,40-seomthing times per year.The reason for my hesitation was a simple,unfortunate fact about writing.Writing about thing you hate is easy:not just fun,but generative.The criticism tends to entertain,even if you disagree,but the ode doesn't.The writerly tone is well-suited to our age,but it's hard not to see it as a collective defense mechanism--as if revealing your true feelings exposes your unmentionable secrets to the public.Obsessions,meanwhile,are inseparable from our peculiarities as people--we come to love things for often weird reasons.When the column really works,it's as revealing about the author as it is its subject.One writer,a man in his late30s,for example, recommended Pedialyte,which he drinks to balance the effects of both drinking and exercise,and to cheat his way back to youth.I probably see somewhere between three and five Letter of Recommendation pitches a day. It's a great spot for trying out new writers in the magazine,so I try my best to keep up with all the email,but I often fail.(I feel genuinely terrible about this every day of my life.)Determining which to assign involves seeing how it meets the various criteria we've settled on over the years. We don't like the column to be timely--everything else in the world is timely.But on the other hand,we need to put a headline on the thing that people might reasonably recognize,stop and read about.There should be a personal angle to the recommendation,but also some universallyrecommendable aspect.But then again,it shouldn't be too recommendable:this isn't a column for life-hacks（生活小技巧）.The recommendation itself should be attractively unexpected--"sideways,"as editors are perhaps too fond of saying--but really,it's just excuse to cut brilliant writers loose to amuse or inspire us.66.Sam Anderson proposed a column called Letter of Recommendation because he found_________.A.the fashion trend was not easy to push againstB.there was a shortage of good quality columnsC.writers could hardly find a place to share their likesD.his brainchild could sometimes increase readership67.The word"ode"(in paragraph2)is closest in meaning to_________.A.praiseB.blameC.hesitationD.determination68.Why is the writer in his late30s mentioned in paragraph2?A.To give an example of the writerly tone.B.To highlight the way that the column selects writers.C.To show how a collective defense mechanism works.D.To illustrate how writers reveal themselves in the column.69.The writer hopes that in the column,_________.A.the recommended items are quite familiar to readersB.the recommended items should follow the latest trendC.readers can learn about life skills from the recommendationsD.readers will find the recommendations beyond their expectation(B)Decoding Our Comedy Shows:What's the Difference?What's the difference between our shows?It's a question we hear a lot from our audiences.

Replant the Amazon?Cycle to work?None of the above.The answer is:make air-conditioners radically better.On one calculation,replacing refrigerants（制冷剂）that damage the atomosphere would reduce total greenhouse gases by the equivalent of90bn tonnes of CO2by2050.Making the units more energy-efficient could double that.Air-conditioning is one of the world's great overlooked industries.Automobiles andair-conditioners were invented at roughly the same time,and both have had a huge impact on where people live and work.Unlike cars,though,air-conditioners have drawn little criticism for their social impact,emissions or energy efficiency.Most hot countries do not have rules to govern their energy use.Yet air-conditioning has done quite a lot of things to benefit humankind.It has transformed productivity in the tropics and helped turn southern China into the workshop of the world.In Europe,its spread has pushed down heat-related deaths ten times less than what it was in2003, when70,000people,most of them elderly,died in a heatwave.For children,air-conditioned classrooms and dormitories are associated with better grades at school.Environmentalists who call air-conditioning"a luxury we cannot afford"have half a point, however.In the next ten years,as many air-conditioners will be installed around the world as were put in between1902(when air-conditioning was invented)and2005.Until energy can be produced without carbon emissions,these extra machines will warm the world.At the moment, therefore,air-conditioners create a vicious cycle.The more the Earth warms,the more people need them.But the more there are,the warmer the world will be.Cutting the impact of cooling requires three things(beyond turning up the thermostat（温度调节器）to make rooms less Artic).First,air-conditioners must become much more efficient.The most energy-efficient models on the market today consume only about one-third as much electricity as average ones.Minimum energy-performance standards need to be raised,or introduced in countries that lack them altogether,to push the average unit's performance closer to the standard of the best.Next,manufacturers should stop using damaging refrigerants.One category of these, hydrofluorocarbons,is over1,000times worse than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.An international deal to phase out these pollutants,called the Kigali amendment,will come into force in2019.Foot-draggers should approve and implement it; America is one country that has not done so.Last,more could be done to design offices,malls and even cities so they do not need as many air-conditioners in the first place.More buildings should be built with overhanging roofs or balconies for shade,or with natural air-circulation.Simply painting roofs white can help keep temperatures down.Better machines are necessary.But cooling as an overall system needs to be improved ifair-conditioning is to fulfill its promise to make people healthier,wealthier and wiser,without too high an environmental cost.Providing indoor sanctuaries of air-conditioned comfort need not come at the expense of an overheating world.73.Why does the author think air-conditioning is an overlooked industry?A.Because many hot countries haven't put the energy-controlling rules into force.B.Because it has caused the same impact on people's life and work as automobiles have.C.Because it has brought great economic,physical,and educational benefits to humans.D.Because it doesn't get the due criticism for its environmental impact as automobiles do.74.What can we learn from Paragraph4?A.The price of air-conditioning will go u due to the large demand for it.B.A high environmental cost will come along with the air-conditional service.C.Environmentalists are expecting extra machines which can warm the world.ernments partially agree that air-conditioning is a luxury we cannot afford.75.With regard to the measures to cut the impact of cooling,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Manufacturers should only stop using hydrofluorocarbons.B.People should avoid turning up the air-conditioners to have cool rooms on hot days.C.People should adopt more environmentally-friendly materials when designing buildings.ernments should give a green light to the agreement on eliminating the pollutants.76.The author writes this passage to_________.A.arouse peoples'attention to the global warming.B.appeal for the global joint efforts to combat global warming.C.give credit to air-conditioning for its great contributions to humansD.offer a new perspective on how to reduce greenhouse gasses emissionsSection CA.Despite the inclusion of comedians,this film is a super suspense（悬疑）drama inspired by historical events,mixing various elements from different genres.B.The movie,by one of China's most famous directors,Zhang Yimou,has aroused a strong response from the public.C.Qin underestimates the power of the people,and the will and courage of Yue's followers,whose bigger plan is for Qin to say the last words Yue wrote in prison before he died--that is,the poem"Full River Red".D.He leads the Han soldiers in a recitation of Yue's poem and expression of their fervent desire to recover lost land.E.It is also the title of China's top-selling film over the recent Lunar New Year holiday.F.There are twists and turns as characters reveal their hidden loyalties,whether to foreigners or to the Song dynasty.Seeing red on the silver screen"My hair bristles with anger,"young men cry as they leave their red-cushioned cinema seats. "We will feast on the barbarians'flesh...we will drink their blood."They are reciting lines from "Full River Red",a poem,believed to be written by Yue Fei,a12th-century general of the Song dynasty._________77_________The movie has grossed more than4bn yuan($590m)since,its release on January22nd.The film is set your years after the death of Yue,who famously led the Song kingdom's battles against invading Jurchens,whose descendants became known as Manchus.Legend says he was killed in1142by Qiu Hui,a corrupt Song chancellor who pushed the emperor to negotiate and stop fighting the Jurchens.In Chinese culture Qin is recalled as a hanjian,or traitor to one's Han ethnicity,and Yue as the opposite._________78_________Not only have cinema-goers delivered spontaneous recitations of the chilling poem at film screenings,the movie has also prompted an increase in attacks on statues of Qin at tourist sites--a practice that has a long tradition.The film is about the mysterious murder of Jurchen envoy（使节）in Qin's court._________79_________Qin and his lackeys（听差）are portrayed as officials who lie,cheat,and kill for power--and betray the ethnic-Han people.The film's heroes are undercover grassroots patriots who resent(or feel angry about)Qin's behaviour and infiltrate（渗透）his court to avenge Yue.They try to recruit a young commander in Qin's army,Sun Jun,who is torn between obedience to his traitorous superiors and loyalty to his people.In one scene,Sun cuts a tattoo that says"Serve the nation with utmost loyalty"off his uncle's back as his uncle shouts that Sun is a "running dog"of foreigners(an off-used insult among Chinese nationalists today).By the end, Sun turns against Qin._________80_________That scene made some viewers cry,according toreviews on Douban,a film website."Full River Red"draws on ancient history,but its modern meaning is clear.The poem is a lament that national shame has not been avenged:it talks of retaking lost"mountains and rivers".II.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.82.在这部影片中，最能打动观众的不是某一特定的角色或场景，而是一个文明面对灾难时的选择。

He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair. The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods.In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山)and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot.Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4. 5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings.Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remain s one of the planet’s undiscovered secrets. There is a little evidence(证据)to support the believers’ theory: traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings. Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot.But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick. The footprints are easy to make and they say: all you need to do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps. As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes. For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.5．So far what we can be sure about is that_______.A. there exist savages(野人)in several places in the worldB. there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”C. bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecusD. all the big foot discovered have the same look6．It was in______ that man first found the ape-like creature.A. 1999B. the 1960’sC. the 1950’sD. the 1940’s7．We can infer from the article that some people _______bigfoot’s existence.A. may fool the world into believingB. have definite evidences to proveC. refuse to believeD. will soon offer proofs of8．If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be________.A. apesB. bearsC. gigantopithecusD. people dressed in animal skinsNew Way to Experience DentistryHave you ever had your hand held during a dental procedure you feel uneasy about? What about a dental office that mimics（模仿） the spirit of Disneyland? If you're looking for a dental office that provides the best care and the best environment, you're looking for Dr．Licking's office in Sunnyvale.Officer manager Judy, who has worked with Dr．Licking for 38 years, speaks highly of his kindness．She believes that the office is “the Disneyland of dentistry”．Everyone from children to their grandparents loves the environment and care they receive from this welcoming office. Dr．Licking is known as the best dental care provider for anyone who fears facing appointments with the dental office．The staff goes out of their way to make patients feel comfortable and at ease．Dr．Licking and Judy set the standard with their saying, “when someone comes to your home, you stand up and welcome them, like an old family friend.”Dr．Licking's office has all．They recently relocated to put the new equipment into their practice．The office is equipped with an intra-oral video camera, and as a patient you can get pictures of your teeth as you're walking out the door.Setting himself apart from other dentists, Dr．Licking continues his education beyond what is required．For this reason, he is one of few dentists in the country who offers ozone treatment．Ozone can naturally stop decay (蛀蚀) in its tracks．For more information on this new technology, visit their website at . Dr．Licking's office is Diamond Certified, an honor given only to companies with the higher quality after extensive and continual research．Dr．Licking's office extends an invitation to you to meet their gentle staff and offers you a free office visit, including x-rays and an exam.The office holds extended hours ranging from 7 a．m．to 8 p, m., Monday through Thursday．Don't worry if you have an emergency．Dr．Licking’s office responds to all emergencies and urgent calls.JOHN LICKING, D.D.S.Cosmetic & Family Dentistry since 1970408—736—6235877 W.Fremont Ave．Suite C3, Sunnyvale9．What is special about the dental office?A．It has a caring environment.B．It is decorated like Disneyland.C．It uses the most advanced equipment.D．It provides service for both kids and old people.10．What do we know about Dr．Licking?A．He has developed ozone treatment.B．He is the best dentist all over the country.C．He has been studying dentistry continuously.D．He has worked as a dentist for nearly 38 years.11．The passage is written to ______.A．introduce a famous dentistB．show a new treatment for tooth decayC．advise people to have their teeth examed D．invite people to visit Dr．Licking's officeIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique (独特的) isthat we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give thefastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore,Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple. 12．Professor Cyrus Shahabi is often late for work because of ________.A. his living far awayB. his car’s navigation systemC. bad traffic conditionsD. too many cars in his university13．What is unique about ClearPath?A. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.B. It can make sure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It can use a lot of information and data all over the world. 14．The underlined word “ hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.A. has accidentB. gets toC. turns left or rightD. collects traffic data15．What’s Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Proud.B. Worried.C. Disappointed.D. Optimistic.完形填空My heart beat with that feeling, like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys．As the piece neared the end, I up to take my final bow．For a second, the room was ．Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to whether I had done perfectly．Then, , the applause (掌声) came.“Thank you… so much,” I said, to the person standing on my other side．Olga, my piano teacher for six years, smiled back at me．“You’ve been an . student all these years,” she said, “I hope that whatever you do, you never stop .”I leaned forward, I would keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.As it , the promises weren’t as meaningful as I’d hoped． Right after the , I kept up my strict practicing schedule every day． , it began slipping away from me．The reason I had stopped taking was because of my busy schedule with homework．Not long after, I stopped practicing altogether．It was not to have to stress about piano anymore．But something was inside of me．I was empty inside.One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga.“Are you taking lessons from Olga?” she asked.“Actually I just quit a while ago,” I replied.“That’s a ,” she responded, “I remember your performance a year ago; it was .”Two days after talking to Michelle, I was at a what to do．I moved slowly into the living room unconsciously, but in fact I knew what I was doing.As the music , a familiar feeling rose inside me.16．A． showed B． sat C． stood D． looked 17．A． light B． quiet C． colorful D． nervous 18．A． expect B． remind C． know D． doubt 19．A． immediately B． successfully C． hopefully D． suddenly 20．A． turning B． waving C． running D． pointing 21．A． easy-going B． imaginative C． amazing D． honest 22．A． practising B． learning C． competing D． gaining 23．A． telling B． promising C． admitting D． speaking 24．A． carried on B． brought up C． turned out D． taken in25．A． performance B． final C． presentation D． play 26．A． Soon B． Besides C． Thus D． Instead 27．A． lectures B． parts C． lessons D． pieces 28．A． disappointing B． pleasing C． inspiring D． puzzling 29．A． beating B． rising C． changing D． shining 30．A． still B． even C． much D． yet 31．A． shame B． relief C． pleasure D． deal 32．A． challenging B． breathtaking C． demandingD． embarrassing33．A． time B． heart C． dream D． loss 34．A． normally B． exactly C． unclearly D． badly 35．A． ended B． hit C． covered D． spread 36．短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）假英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校州第二学期高四英语周练试题（2）一、阅读理解Stockholm’s street magazine sellers no longer only take cash --- they now take cards too.“More and more sellers were telling us that people wanted our magazine but weren’t carrying cash,”says Pia Stolt, the magazine’s publisher. “So with the help of a local computer company, we came up with a way to accept payment electronically.“We didn’t know how it would turn out, or whether people would be unwilling to give the credit card information to a stranger on the street,” says Stolt, “but the results have been great---sales are up 59%.”“Swedes are pretty trusting and we’re used to taking up new technology so this was the perfect solution,” adds Stolt. “The cashless society campaign we’re seeing in Sweden is definitely a good move as far as we are concerned---it’s unstoppable.”Banks and stores invested heavily in card payment systems in the 1990s and now local consumers are using them in huge numbers. Today, four out of five purchases are made electronically in Sweden and going totally cash-free is the next step.Sweden’s public transport system has already been cashless for several years, after local public transport workers complained that handling cash had become dangerous. “Bus drivers were getting attacked for their money so Sweden banned cash on public transport,” says Arn Arvidsson, the president of Cashless, an organization supporting the move to a cash-free society. “There were also a number of bank robberies, so four years ago, the banks began to move away from cash. Now, all of Sweden’s big banks operate cash free wherever possible, and the number of bank robberies is at a 30-year low.”There is, however, concern about how well Sweden’s 1.8 million pensioners---out of a total population of 10 million---will adapt. “A lot of elderly people feel excluded,” says Johanna Hallen of the Swedish National Pensioners’ Organization. “Only 50% of older people use cash cards regularly and 7% never use cash cards. So we want the government to take things slowly.”The digital payment revolution is also a challenge for tourists, who need pre-paid tickets or a Swedish mobile to catch a bus in the capital. “There’s a worry about crime and theft as well,” says Arvidsson. “Figures show that computer-related credit card crime has almost doubled in the last decade.”1．The demand for a cashless public transport system first came from _______.A. transport companies to reduce their costsB. banks so they could increase their profitsC. transport workers to protect their safetyD. the government to improve transport times2．Which of the following about Sweden is true according to the passage?A.

She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both get tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “ take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates fo r the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together; giving in, cleaning up and holding on.5．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A. By listing facts.B. By doing comparisonC.

Sympathetic8．What might be the best title for the story?A. How to be organizedB. My Friend KateC. Learning to Be RoommatesD. Hard Work Pays Off.When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend. But it wasn’t a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep. Reading and responding (反) to text messages while asleep – called “sleep texting”– is an unusual sleep behavior, similar to sleepwalking. It’s also a growing concern among doctors: young people can’t live without their cell phones.One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed. Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.“That phone is in bed with them or sometimes on top of their chest when they’re sleeping or even in their hand. So the response is kind of automatic (自动的),” she said.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It’s possible for th e part of the brain that controls motor (运动神经) skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment may remain asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements – such as walking, talking, texting or even driving – whil e they’re sleeping.Some of Dowdell’s students have admitted that they’re disturbed by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious (无意识的), it’s a difficult habit to break.Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices outside the bedroom at certain times.Shay Radhakrishnan, 16, admits that she sleeps with her phone. But nowthe practice is giving her some pause (停顿).“A lot of people leave their phones on their side tables, but for some reason I leave mine on my bed,” she said. “It is probably dangerous because it will probably wake me up a lot more – and probably cause me to start sleep texting.”9．What happened to Olivia Priedeman?A. She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.B. She phoned one of her friends during the night.C. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep.10．How does sleep texting happen?A. Some parts of the body are out of control during sleep.B. The brain part controlling motor skills wakes up during sleep.C. The brain part controlling judgment stays awake during sleep.D. The brain part controlling memory becomes unconscious during sleep. 11．What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do?A. Stop texting during the daytime.B. Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep.C. Take some medicine to control the behavior.D. Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting. 12．Which of the following statements about sleep texting is TRUE? A. Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.B. It’s easy to break away from a sleep texting habi t.C. Sleep texting does more harm to one’s health than sleepwalking.D. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.阅读理解。

Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. 11 .________There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 12 .________Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 13 .________"Academics are important. But if you don't have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won't be as successful in work or in your love life," she says. What's the best way to up your EQ (情商)？ For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. 14 .________To really develop empathy, you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, havea "sharing circle" with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. "One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking," Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of " emotional intelligence" that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.Since I became a full-time freelancer (自由作家) , I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn’t been a lot of motivation (动机) to get out of bed.I’ve quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet：waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing that keeps us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you’ll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly. Don’t read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you’re already halfway on your journey toward becoming an early riser.15．What do we know about the author？A.He has a full-time job outside.B.He likes lying in bed all day.C.He was once fired by a company.D.He has difficulty getting up early.16．The author gives us some tips to help us _____ .A.find the key to successB.become an early riserC.fall asleep within 10 minutesD.relax after a day’s hard work17．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga？A.It is a good way to reduce stress.B.It can help you sleep.C.It can make you worried.D.It will help you wake up earlier.18．What is the motivation of getting up early？A.Motivation.B.Experience.C.Success.D.Ability. 第II卷（非选择题）19． 1.——我可以用你的电脑吗？——不,绝对不行。

The Fair Trade League was 16 in Britain in 1881 to restrict 17 from foreign countries. In the United States, businesses and labor unions 18 “fair trade” laws to construct what economist Jose ph Stiglitz calls “barriers to imports.”These so called “anti-dumping(反倾销)”laws allow a pany that 19 a foreign one of selling a product below cost to request that the government charge special taxes to protect it from “unfair”20 .Such dark protectionist thoughts are far from the 21 of the organizers of the United Kingdom’s annual “Fair trad e Fortnight”.

Fair-trade products 25 cocoa, coffee, tea, and bananas do not pete with domestic European production, and 26 do not have a protectionist motive(动机).This is how it works: In 27 for being paid a guaranteed price and meeting “agreed labor and environmental standards”(minimum wages, no farm chemicals), poor-country farming cooperatives(合作社)receive a FAIRTRADE mark for their products, given 28 by the FAIRTRADE Labeling Organization. This mark 29 supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than 30 price . Third-world farmers get their ine increased, 31 first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.The fair-trade movement, 32 in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly.

By the end of xx, more than 600 producers’ organizations, 34 1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products.

British director Steve McQueen’s brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newer Lupita Nyong’o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,” said M cQueen in his acceptance speech.“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director. The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity”, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.”In one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards.Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof’s unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.Australia’s Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husband’s financial crimes in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.” “As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.36. How many Oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.37. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. “12 Years a Slave” won two Oscar awards altogether.B. The director of “Gravity” is from Latin America.C. The character Rayon is played by Jared Leto.D. The woman film star Cate Blanchett es from Oceania.The Archive of Lost DreamsThe Visual: It describes an underwater archive of messages in bottles.

The coral in the pots is also expected to grow.The Location: The Gardener of Hope was placed 4 meters deep at Punta Nizuc near the coast of Cancun.Behind the Scenes: The pots here are filled with live coral cuttings that were saved from areas of the local reef system.Man on FireThe Visual: Man on Fire describes a lone male figure covered in live fire coral to resemble fire.The Meaning:The sculpture symbolizes the unawareness of the “fire” our generation has started with the over use of limited natural resources. The Hope: Man on Fire has 75 holes planted with small live cuttings of fire coral which are expected to grow like fire.The Location: Man on Fire was installed 8 meters deep at the Manchones Reef nearby to Isla Mujeres.Behind the Scenes: The sculpture was cast from a local Mexican fisherman and it weighs over 1 ton.The Silent EvolutionThe Visual: Here more than 400 sculptures depict the timeline of human nature.The Meaning: It is a documentation of how society and people have changed over time.

The writer introduces the sculptures to _______.A. defend Mexican Tourism IndustryB. call on us to go on a tour to AquaworldC. appeal to readers to protect Marine LifeD. attract tourists to the Underwater MuseumCDNA left at a crime scene could be used in the future to build up a picture of an offender’s face, it was revealed tonight.A first step towards genetic mugshots has been taken by researchers in the US who link specific DNA markers with face shape. To identify the genes, they focused on known mutations(突变) that cause changes of the face and head. Normal versions of these genes were found to influence individual features. For instance, one gene affected the lips, another the shape and configuration of bones around the eyes, and a third the appearance of the mid-face and skull. In total, 20 genes had “significant effects” on facial appear ance.Lead scientist Professor Mark Shriver, from Pennsylvania State University, said: “We use DNA to match to an individual or identify an individual, but you can get so much more from DNA. Currently we can’t go from DNA to a face, or from a face to DNA, but it should be possible.” The implications are far reaching, raising the possibility of creating a data bank of facial types based on genetic markers. DNA from a crime scene could then be used to produce a rough image of the face of an offender or victim. Such genetic mugshots may be more reliable than puter-generated “e-fits” based on witnesses’ recollections. Other uses of the technique might include proving the identity of fathers in paternity cases, or visualising our remote ancestors from fossil DNA.The scientists wrote in the online journal Public Library of Science Genetics: “Such predictive modelling could be forensically useful; for example, DNA left at crime scenes could be tested and faces predicted in order to help to narrow the pool of potential suspects. Further, our methods could be used to predict the facial features of descendants, deceased ancestors, and even extinct human species. In addition, these methods could prove to be useful diagnostic tools.” The team developed a model which firs t established a range of physical face shapes from people of mixed West African and European ancestry from the US, Brazil and Cape Verde. Measurements were taken of thousands of point co-ordinates on grids placed over 3D images of the faces.Statistical methods were then used to determine the relationship between facial differences and the effects of gender, ethnic ancestry and individual gene variants.41. The underlined word “mugshots” in the second paragraph most probably means _________.A. different facesB. characteristicsC. pictures of facesD. genders42. What can be inferred from the passage?A. DNA has been used to build up a picture of an offender’s face.B. It may be much easier to catch criminals with the help of DNA.C. In all, 20 genes had “significant effects” on facial appearance.D. One gene can affect more than one part of your face.43. According to Professor Mark Shriver, we know_________.A. they can merely match to an individual or identify an individualB. there is a possibility of going from DNA to a faceC. DNA could be used to produce a rough image of an offender’s faceD. this technology is more reliable than puter-generated “e-fits”44. What is the most possible title of the passage?A. Creating a data bank of DNAB. Recognizing the DNA of criminalsC. Predicting the location of offence using DNAD. Building image of offender’s face from DNADAt Denver there was an crowd of passengers into the coaches（车厢）on the eastbound B. & M. express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious forts of an experienced traveler. Among the newers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank face expression and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed（拷上手铐）together.As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only available seat offered was a reversed one facing the attractive young woman. Here the linked couple seated themselves. The young woman's glance fell upon them with a distant, swift disinterest; then with a lovely smile brightening her face and a tender pink tingeing（稍加染色，影响）her rounded cheeks, she held out a little gray-gloved hand. When she spoke her voice, full, sweet, and deliberate, proclaimed that its owner was accustomed to speak and be heard."Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I suppose I must. Don't you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the West?"The younger man aroused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand."It's Miss Fairchild," he said, with a smile. "I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; "it's otherwise engaged just at present."He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining "bracelet" to the left one of his panion. The glad look in the girl's eyes slowly changed to a bewildered horror. The glow faded from her cheeks. Her lips parted in a vague（含糊，犹豫）, relaxing distress. Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled him. The glum-faced man had been watching the girl's face expression with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes."You'll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you're acquainted with（认识，熟悉）the officer here. If you'll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen（围栏，监狱）he'll do it, and it'll make things easier for me there. He's taking me to Leavenworth prison. It's seven years for cheating.""Oh!" said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. "So that is what you are doing out here? An officer!""My dear Miss Fairchild," said Easton, calmly, "I had to do something. Money has a way of taking wings with itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington. I saw this opening（通道）in the West, and--well, an officer isn't quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but--""The ambassador," said the girl, warmly, "doesn't call any more. I needn't ever have done so. You ought to know that. And so now you are one of these brave Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers. That's different from the Washington life. You have been missed from the old crowd."The girl's eyes, fascinated, went back, widening a little, to rest upon the glittering handcuffs."Don't you worry about them, miss," said the other man. "All officers handcuff themselves to their prisoners to keep them from getting away. Mr. Easton knows his business.""Will we see you again soon in Washington?" asked the girl."Not soon, I think," said Easton. "My butterfly days are over, I fear.""I love the West," said the girl irrelevantly. Her eyes were shining softly. She looked away out the car window. She began to speak truly and simply without the gloss of style and manner: "Mamma and I spent the summer in Denver. She went home a week ago because father was slightly ill. I could live and be happy in the West. I think the air here agrees with me. Money isn't everything. But people always misunderstand things and remain stupid--""Say, officer," shouted the glum-faced man. "This isn't quite fair. I'm needing a drink, and haven't had a smoke all day. Haven't you talked long enough? Take me in the smoker now, won't you?

Teen depression isn’t just bad moods and occasional sadness—it’s a serious problem that affects every asp ect of a teenager’s normal life. The negative effects can lead to problems, such as smoking, violence and even suicide. But depression can be treated. So if your teen’s unhappiness lasts for more than two weeks and he or she displays other symptoms of depression, it may be time to seek help from a health doctor.There are multiple reasons why a teenager might bee unhappy. For example, teens can develop feelings of worthlessness over their school performance. And unsatisfied family life can have a major effect on how a teen feels. Sometimes, teen depression may result from environmental stress. But whatever the cause, when friends or family—or things that the teen usually enjoy—don’t help to improve his or her sadness or sense of isolation, there’s a good chance that he or she has teen depression.There are certain signs when teenagers are suffering from teen depression. Often, kids with teen depression will have a noticeable change in their thinking and behavior. Kids with teen depression may have a change in eating habits. Teenagers are likely to eat too much or not to eat enough for long periods of time, which should not be mistaken for an eating disorder. Parents should distinguish this change from eating disorders.Changing in sleeping habits is another indication of adolescent depression. All teenagers love to sleep. However, a sudden change in sleep behavior for no good reason is what parents should be paying attention to. A reduction of favorite activities, such as sports or chatting with friends, is another sign that cannot be neglected. If a teenager loves a sport and during the middle of the season suddenly decides to stop, there is a reason to be concerned about this change.When teenagers suffer from depression, they easily get annoyed or react badly to negative things. They may bee defiant as there is potential depression. The depressed teenagers may get into rude or offensive remarks as well as fighting.Making statements of despair is another sign. They have no hope for their studies, their life and their future. This is very serious since it is estimated that every year approximately 10 teenagers from every 100,000 mit suicide.How is it treated? Here are methods, including medications and psychotherapy. Family therapy may be helpful if family conflict is contributing to the depression. The depressed teens will also need support from teachers. Occasionally, hospitalization may be required for答题纸班级__________ 姓名____________ 学号___________ 得分_________四、任务型阅读1____________ 2______________ 3______________ 4_______________ 5_______________6____________ 7______________ 8______________ 9______________ 10 _______________五、完成句子(每题2.5分，共25分)1.

He would pull right up in front, and it seemed likeeverybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”He paused and then went on, “I remember the day.

I‟m too old for any kind of kiss.‟ My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield (挡风玻璃). …You‟re right,‟ he said. …You are a big boy… a man.
