read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher,the students,,and the material being studied.The classroom context, generally speaking,includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning.These factors operate on different levels.The physical context,for example,influences what happens in the classroom.Space may restrict participation,depending on how a teacher interprets the situation.Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning.Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied;a display area presents students’written work for others to read.Of course,some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together.A room,after all,is just a英语2017春第7页(共16页)room.Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur.Straight rows of tables,for example,are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one,recite answers to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning.Interactive learning invites thinking,reading,writing,speaking,listening, and sharing.Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the“class”as a

Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes. 70There manga sales are still booming,reaching as high as$7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness,you are not alone,for shyness is a universal phenomenon.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends.Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say,“One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents,teachers,coaches,and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from40percent to50percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming more isolated as a result of technology.Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks,gas station attendants,and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking,fill their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore, if you are shy,you have lots of company.第II卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.你不必在乎他人对你的评论。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher,the students,and the material being studied.The classroom context,generally speaking,includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning.These factors operate on different levels.The physical context,for example,influences what happens in the classroom.Space may restrict participation,depending on how a teacher interprets the situation.Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning.Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studies;a display area presents students’ written work for others to read.Of course,some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together.A room,after all,is just a room.Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur.Straight rows of tables,for example,are favorable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one,recite answers to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning.Interactive learning invites thinking,reading,writing,speaking,listening,and sharing.Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as a whole;they welcome students as active participants.Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning,but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual,group,or whole-class activities.Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables.However,when the students work individually or in groups,they are free to abandon the assigned seating.The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56.According to the passage,the physical context (paragraph 2) may include __________.A.teachers’ rolesB.themes being studiedC.a display areaD.student’s participation57.Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?(此处应有图片)58.From the last paragraph,we can learn that __________.A.classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB.the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC.seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD.interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables59.What is the passage mainly about?A.The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B.The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C.Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.D.Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.Domestic orders placed by December 20 will arrive for Christmas.Overseas orders placed by December 9 will arrive for Christmas.Overnight orders placed by December 22 will arrive for Christmas for an addition fee.Framed orders(domestic or overseas) require additional time for delivery.About Our PaperWe use high-quality,acid-free papers or heavy weight Exhibition Gallery Canvas.Paper SizesPaper sizes are in inches.If an image’s dimensions(尺寸) don’t exactly match the paper’s dimensions there will be a wider margin on the narrowest side.The long edge on prints 34×47 and larger will vary depending on the dimensions of the photo and may be longer than the size listed.Custom(定制的)FramesWe’ve partnered with Simply Framed to offer high-quality custom frames made in the USA.Please allow an additional 3 weeks for delivery.Frames come in black or brown wooden finish and include protective paperback finish,wall bumpers,hanging hardware+nails,hanging and care instructions.Frames arrive gift-wrapped in brown paper.Framed sales are final.60.If you want to order a 17×22 print on canvas with a black frame,how much are you expected to pay?A.$45.00USD.B.$70.00USD.C.$215.00USD.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.(67)__________ Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.(68)__________ American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines,dialogue,and color are added.Also,creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams,who keep the superhero “alive”.This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画) creators,who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines,dialogue,and artwork.When a manga creator decides to stop,so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes.(69)__________ Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context.However,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.(70)__________ There manga sales are still booming,reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.I V. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness,you are not alone,for shyness is a universal phenomenon.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends.Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents,teachers,coaches,and others,while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks i public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming more isolated as a result of technology.Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks,gas station attendants,and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banning,fill their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore,if you are shy,you have lots of company.第II卷(共40分)V.

Animals have the unique ability to be more social.For example,visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions.Not only do people seem26__________(anxious)when animals are nearby, but they may also live longer.Studies show that a year27__________heart surgery,survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets intheir homes than those without pets.Elderly people with pets make fewertrips to doctors than those without animal companions,possibly because animals relieve loneliness.Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind,28__________(result)in a favourable environment for everyone.Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children.They are more easy-going when there are animals around,with29__________company they tend to calm down more easily.They involve30__________in playing with animals and the presence of animals conforms them greatly.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be use only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.

Officials at the New York Police Department,for example,have35______at least five misidentifications by their facial recognition system.If the iPhone’s new system is similarly36______,no one will consider it to be acceptable security for our personal information.37______it probably won’t be.But formany of the systems elsewhere,mistakes and38______of privacy might be unavoidable.As the smartphone of choice for many users,the iPhone’s39______of facial recognition may encourage consumers to accept the technology elsewhere.However,even as we choose to explore the convenience facial recognition might offer,we should also be suspicious of the many ways it can be used.Facial recognition may well be40______.Its risks need not be!III.Reading Comprehension(45%)Section 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.Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to“do what you love.”But mastering a skill,even one that you deeply love,41___a huge amount of dull work.Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice,42___feedback,modification,and increasing improvement again,again and again.Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement.Yet others find this kind of focused,time-intensive work to be43___or boring.Why?The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of“flow,”the felling of being completely44___in what you are doing.Whether you call itbeing“in the zone,”or something else,a flow state is a special experience.Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the45___of flow in the1970’s,ithas been a mainstay of positive-psychology research.Flow states can happenin the course of any activity,and they are most common when a task haswell-defined goals and is at a(n)46___skill level,and where the individual isable to47___their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most48___entered into flowstates had an“autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”dis—po a sition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow.While those without such apersonality see difficulties,autotelic individuals see opportunities to buildskills.Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges.Theyare also49___and have low levels of self-centeredness.Such people,withtheir capacity for“disinterested interest”havae great advantage over othersin developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who aren’t51___blessed with an autotelic personality,there is evidence that flow states can be52___by environmentalfactors.53___,the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schoolsseems to encourage flow states.While there isn’t(yet)a pill that can turn mundane practice into athrilling activity for anyone,it is heartening that we seem,at least to some54___,to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states.By giving ourselves unstructured,open-ended time,minimal55___,and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty,we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.A.inquiresB.requiresC.acquiresD.gains42.A.preventableB.maintainableC.sustainableD.critical43.A.frustratingB.encouragingC.concerningD.instructing44.A.improvedB.indicatedC.involvedD.inspired45.A.conceptB.receiptC.receptionD.condition46.A.alternativeB.appropriateC.approximateD.sufficient47.A.makeB.adoptC.adaptD.adjust48.A.fullyB.reallyC.readilyD.accidentally49.A.generousB.persistentC.courageousD.resistant50.A.addictB.advanceC.advantageD.admire51.A.necessarilyB.obviouslyC.graduallyD.occasionally52.A.forbiddenB.functionedC.fastenedD.facilitated53.A.In particularB.For exampleC.In conclusionD.In comparison54.A.intentionB.extentC.purposeD.intent55.A.temptationB.charmingC.attractionsD.distractionsSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However,films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers.The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress.Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willingto sit through a five-hour film.Thus,every scene must have a purpose.This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story.With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques,it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity,the goal at the end of each chapter,page,or sentence is simple:keep the story moving.Films not only help writers develop a plot,but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories.Although writing a means of expression,not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions.Films allow writers to study thebodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.Lastly,sometimes it takes a film to bring about a story idea in the first place.Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt.A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers,whether fiction or independent,our works often arise from the things we see around us or the thins we wish we could see.Nonetheless,our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us.As literature continues to enter the film industry,perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.56.reminded by films,a writer can move the plot forward by.A.keeping in mind that every word should mean something.B.providing a description of as many details as possible.C.paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity.D.choosing the perfect word to go with his/her thought.57.according to the passage,films help writers develop in many aspects except.A.getting an improved expressivenessB.focusing on keeping the story moving.plicating their thinking and life.D.bringing in inspiration for new works.58.the word“prompt”(paragraph3)probably means.A.a reason to write.B.a topic to start from.C.an excuse to put off working.D.an element to attract relationship.59.which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughtsin this passage?A.book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry.B.directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers.C.writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things.D.filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves.(B)American AirlinesDate of Issue:233JAN10Ping Luo:Thank you for choosing American Airlines/American Eagle,a member of the one worldTM Alliance.Below is your journey plan for the ticket(s)

helping with your mum and dad growing old.Old people’s wards are hell for old people.Geriatric wards are bedlam and bonkers.A toothless woman screaming when left alone,a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling.A woman effing and blinding----the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change.A womanwho lives the same moment in repeat,dressed up for going home in a bright red,over the dressing grown,asking for the key to her house,saying over and over:“Am I going home today?”And though my mum,by the time she was released,knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees.It seems to me asif the plight of old people,while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror.Just as we live in a society that hasn’t caught up with technology,the kind of moral choices it gives people,we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population.We have the advancesin medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer,but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population.Society is lagging behind the old,failing and falling.There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees.The old are often displaced from their homes,moved out against their will;decisions are often made for them thatthey have no say over.Often,they are treated as fools or halfwits,crowded together in one place,given clothes that don’t belong to them,treated as a fallen tribe,incapable of any individuality.Nobody imagined my mother wasa secretary of the Scottish peace movement,a primary teacher,a lifelong socialist,a witty woman.Out of hospital,my85-year-old mum said:”going into hospital at my age puts years on you.God save from old people’s

You never think of yourself as old.You look across the ward and think,am I like that?”63.the treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to.A.prove they have a lot in common.B.show the terrible status of the old.C.display their similarities and differences.D.indicate that old people have to leave their home.64.we can be inferred from the passage?A.refugees lead a better life than old male patients.B.old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality.C.the author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist in the meanwhile.D.the treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances.65.the author’s mom felt that life in the hospital.A.made her much older.B.created her a mature woman.C.enable her to look back at life.D.let her full of gratitude to children.66.the passage mainly discussed.A.the life of refugees and old people.B.social responsibility to old women.C.improper treatment of old people.D.preparing for ageing parents.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a propersentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note thatthere are two more sentences than you need.A.Clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.B.Despite this,how our dietary choices affect climate change is often underestimated.C.Food,especially livestock,also takes up a lot of roomD.In developed countries,vegetarianism would bring all sorts of environmental andhealth benefits.E.No matter how much their carnivorous friends might deny it,vegetarians have a p oint:cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits.F.Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land,this would more than makeup for the loss of meat.What would happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian? People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons.Some do itto relieve animal suffering,others are because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle.Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.67And the more who make the switch,the more those perks would manifest on a global scale.Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight.First,they examined climate change.Food production accounts forone-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide,and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry.68In the US,for example,an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars–but it is cars,not steaks,that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.69Of the world’s approximately12billion acres of agricultural land,68% is used for livestock.Should we all go vegetarian,ideally we would give atleast80%of that pastureland(牧场)to the restoration of grasslands and forests,which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change.The remaining10to20%of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply.70That’s because one-thirdof the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock–not for humans.Summary Writing:Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own wordsas far as possible.Learning by Rote in the Digital Age Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching.The dictionary defines learning‘by rote’as:‘from memory,without thought of the meaning;in a mechanical way’.The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology.No one needs to memorize friends’phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically.And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about6seconds?But now there are voices for a need to returnto rote learning.In fact,memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill.Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and lawyering requires knowledge of casesand laws.Of course,being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things,but without memorizing these foundation elements,you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject.While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things,it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this styleof learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun.Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work,which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilledinto them by teachers or parents.Rote learning without a willing third partycan be a battle of discipline and motivation.But mobile learning can makethose flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study;our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated,whether through game-like structures or recording our progress.Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning,you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the wordsgiven in the brackets.1.李雷宁愿受罚也不愿说谎。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherentand 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.“Zootopia” Broke Disney RecordsLast weekend, the latest Disney movie, “Zootopia,” broke records. The movie had the largest opening weekend for a Disney animation(动画片). People across the United States bought more than $75 million worth of tickets.“Zootopia” is a city of animals. The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal (21) team up to find a missing otter(水獭). He is among several animalsthat have suddenly disappeared from the city.“Zootopia” (22) (praise) for its sharp humor and strong message since its release.The film explores racism and other issues in its description of relations (23) two kindsof animals in the city.Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia.” They told reporters that it started out asa spy movie (24) (set) in several different contexts. But they changed the story (25) they found the animal world especially interesting. They said to (26) something like this. “What’s this world like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, Bush said, they went tothe experts. Not only (27) the writers speak with people who study couture and groupbehavior, but also they talked with animal experts like zookeepers.The creators have noted that the variety of animals was not easy (28) (produce) in drawings. In the movie, 64 species live in multiple neighborhoods (29) (represent) different animals’ living environments. Disney says “Zootopia” is its (30) (complex) animation yet. The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.Section BDirections:After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given inWhy your Password May Not Be As Safe As It SeemsDoes “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 31 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet, they appeared to 32 that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.While many of the password s were still single words, such as “password”, there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to 33 . The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.“Users are becoming slightly more 34 of what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”But 35 no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this---and in 20 per cent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account, had have a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to 36 on.Although the services is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!, said that it was“the first step to 37 passwords”. He said it was a(n) 38 that it was increasingly hard for peop le to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improv ing upon “password” by using “wasspord” or, tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 13tt3r5.“We are, for the most part, predictably 39 when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups,” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 40 , and so do password crackers.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ever been just about to call someone when the phone rings and the person in question is on the other end? Or have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger even though you’re in a(n) 41 situation? If you don’t believe in it, you’ll put it down to 42 and on overactive imagination. But some people believe it is 43 that there is a sixth sense beyond smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight. Now, scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists, but also to find out how you can 44 it to your advantage.Dean Radin, a researcher in California, has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit(招募)4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are any 45 instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict outcomes. The results so far are 46 . In a card test, where you have to 47 which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture, the top scorers hit the right card 48% of the time—the 48 of this happening are 2,669 to 1.49 , Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that are designed to stimulate a specific responses. In the experiment, participants sit alone in a room in front of a computer, with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin resistance and blood flow, which are measures of emotional arousal. Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining 50 before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists, the question is, does it actually 51 ? Radin says it does. “the future of our civilisation depends on 52 that are being made now, whether it’s about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products. We don’t h ave answers to these important questions, yet what we decide on will 53 our lives for decades or longer. Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the 54 ,” he says. “If it turns out that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time, as I believe the data shows, then 55 this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.41. A. unfamiliar B. tough C. harmless D. ridiculous42. A. coincidence B. resistance C. innovation D. distraction43. A. mystery B. evidence C. falsehood D. innocence44. A. alter B. define C. find D. use45. A. historical B. strange C. mistaken D. true46. A. extraordinary B. inevitable C. alarming D. disappointing47. A. ask B. guess C. recall D. learn48.

A. expense B. risk C. effort D. wait55. A. proving B. challenging C. limiting D. understanding Section BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and d. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher, the students, and the material being studied. The classroom context,generally speaking, includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning. These factors operate on different levels.The physical context, for example, influences what happens in the classroom. Space may restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation. Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning. Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied; a display area presents students’ written work for others to read. Of course, some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together. A room, after all, is just a room. Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur. Straight rows of tables, for example, are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one, recite answe rs to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning. Interactive learning invites thinking, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and sharing. Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as a whole; they welcome students as active participants. Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning, but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual, group, or whole-class activities. Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables. However, when the students work individually or in groups, they are free to abandon the assigned seating. The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56. According to the passage, “the physical context ” (paragraph 2) may include .A. teachers’ rolesB. themes being studiedC. a display areaD. students’ part icipation57. Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture? A.B .C .D.58. From the last paragraph, we can learn that .A. classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB. the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC. seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD. interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B. The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C. Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.D. Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.(B)•$15.00USD -8.5x11 Paper •$24.00USD -11x17 Paper •$30.00USD -13x19 Paper •$45.00USD -17x22 Paper •$95.00USD -24x30 Paper •$185.00USD -34x47 Paper •$70.00USD -17x22 Exhibition Canvas (帆布) •$140.00USD -24x30 Exhibition Canvas •$275.00USD -36x50 Exhibition Canvas • $350.00USD -44x61 Exhibition Canvas• $80.00USD -8.5x11 Framed (Black)• $85.00USD -8.5x11 Framed (Brown)• $140.00USD -11x17 Framed (Black)• $150.00USD -11x17 Framed (Brown)• $215.00USD -17x22 Framed (Black)•$225.00USD -17x22 Framed (Brown) A German travel poster showing the ImperialAdd to CartThis product ships for free (both in U.S.A. and overseas)Made in U.S.A. / Satisfaction Guaranteed Castle in Nuremberg.Illustrated by Jupp Wiertz, c.1930s.Christmas Shipping Deadlines•Domestic orders placed by December 20 will arrive for Christmas.•Overseas orders placed by December 9 will arrive for Christmas.•Overnight orders placed by December 22 will arrive for Christmas for an additional fee.

Remaining too involved in a kid’s life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.This wisdom seems sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance. The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims’ bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid “the overparenting trap” —is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.“Yes, parents can be intruders,” says Marjorie Savage, a researcher in the University of Minnesota. “At the same time, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family.” At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as if bringing up those topics were forbidden, says Branka Kristie, who heads the family-outreach programs. And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved, now have a different problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints, report problem and generally stay in touch.Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1 times per week, according to research from Barbara Hofer, a psychology professor at Middlebury College. Th at’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago, before almost every student had a smartphone.With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place, some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often through email and other social media. Hofstra’s Kristic advises parents to “be a guide, while granting that the student owns the journey.” That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues persist, or if a student isin serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for alittle while.63. In paragraph 3, parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to .A. show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparentingB. provide educators with a new understanding of overparentingC. give a further example of supportive overparentingD. place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting64. The phrase “hopping in the chopper” in the la st paragraph refers to .A. having trust in kidsB. stepping in to solve kids’ problemsC .joining a family-outreach program D. turning to social media for help65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parents.B. How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education.C. Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’ self-reliance.D. There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Why Colleges Need Helicopter ParentsB. How to Improve Parent-school RelationsC. Why Overparenting Is in QuestionD. How to Communicate More as ParentsSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences thanJapanese and American Comic Book HeroesTo some people, the idea of reading comic books seems childish. 67 Comics arepublished globally, but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.68 American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines, dialogue, and color are added. Also, creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams, who keep the superhero “alive.” This is in sharp co ntrast to manga (日本漫画)creators, who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines, dialogue, and artwork. When a manga creator decides to stop, so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes. 69 Also, manga heroes rarely look Japanese, and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context. However, American comic heroes, despite their masks, are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership. Up until the 1950s, American comic books were read by both children and adults, with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month. The arrival of TV, however, led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes. 70 There manga sales are still booming, reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women. Manga for men and boys, like the American comics, tend to be action-oriented, while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends. Because of their lack ofsocial skills, they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In alarge study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan, anindividual’s performance success is credited externally t o parents, grandparents, teachers,coaches, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore, Japanese learnnot to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people whoreport being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years. Due to our hugeadvances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web havereplaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults,too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bankclerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people canuse machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they becomeshy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V.

"For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right? "But5no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this—and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number "1" at the end.Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords.

The classroom context, generally speaking, includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning. These factors operate on different levels.The physical context, for example, influences what happens in the classroom. Space may restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation. Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning. Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied; a display area presents students' written work for others to read. Of course, some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together. A room, after all, is just a room. Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur. Straight rows of tables, for example, are favorable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one, recite answers to a teacher's questions.A room isn't just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning. Interactive learning invites thinking, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and sharing. Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the "class" as a whole; they welcome studentsas active participants. Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning, but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual, group, or whole-class activities. Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables. However, when the students work individually or in groups, they are free to abandon the assigned seating. The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.(1) According to the passage, the physical context(paragraph 2)mayinclude.A. teachers' rolesB. themes being studiedC. a display areaD. students' participation(2) Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?A.B.C.D.(3) From the last paragraph, we can learn that.A. classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB. the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC. seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD. interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables(4) What is the passage mainly about?A. The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B. The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C. Interactive learning depends on individuals' active involvement.D. Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.5、【来源】 2017年1月高考真题上海卷(B篇)第60~62题6分Christmas Shipping Deadlines• Domestic orders placed by December 20 will arrive for Christmas.• Overseas orders placed by December 9 will arrive for Christmas.• Overnight orders placed by December 22 will arrive for Christmas for an additional fee.Framed orders(domestic or overseas)require additional time for delivery.About Our PaperWe use high-quality, acid-free papers or heavy weight Exhibition Gallery Canvas.

Remaining too involved in a kid's life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.This wisdom seems sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance. The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims' bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid "the overparenting trap" —is discouraging parents from getting involved at all."Yes, parents can be intruders, " says Marjorie Savage, a researcher in the University of Minnesota. "At the same time, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family." At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as if bringing up those topics were forbidden, says Branka Kristie, who leads the family-outreach programs. And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son's signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to "helicopter in".That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved, now have a different problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints, report problem and generally stay in touch.Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1 times per week, according to research from Barbara Hofer, a psychology professor at Middlebury College. That's more than twice the rate of a decade ago, before almost every student had a smartphone.With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place, some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often through e-mail and other social media. Hofstra's Kristic advises parents to "be a guide, while granting that the student owns the journey." That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues persist, or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while.(1) In Paragraph 3, parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to.A. show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparentingB. provide educators with a new understanding of overparentingC. give a further example of supportive overparentingD. place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting(2) The phrase "hopping in the chopper" in the last paragraph refers to.A. having trust in kidsB. stepping in to solve kids' problemsC. joining a family-outreach programD. turning to social media for help(3) What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mental-health and campus-safety resources are sensitive topics among parents.B. How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education.C. Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students' self-reliance.D. There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.(4) Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Why Colleges Need Helicopter ParentsB. How to Improve Parent-school RelationsC. Why Overparenting Is in QuestionD. How to Communicate More as Parents7、【来源】 2017年1月高考真题上海卷(D篇)第67~70题8分Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes To some people, the idea of reading comic books seemschildish.1Comics are published globally, but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.2American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines, dialogue, and color are added. Also, creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams, who keep the superhero "alive". This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画) creators, who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines, dialogue, and artwork. When a manga creator decides to stop, so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes.3Also, manga heroes rarely look Japanese, and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context. However, American comic heroes, despite their masks, are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. Cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership. Up until the 1950s, American comic books were read by both children and adults, with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month. The arrival of TV, however, led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest insuperheroes.4There manga sales are still booming, reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women. Manga for men and boys, like the American comics, tend to be action-oriented, while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.A. The two types of comics are created in very different ways.B. But for people who love comic books, they can be a fantastic escape from the tough realities of modern life.C. They find it hard to understand why comic books appeal so many people.D. Comics have lost its charm in America.E. In Japan, the contrast couldn't be greater.F. Manga heroes look smaller, younger than all-conquering American heroes who have large muscles and lots of themed clothes.五、摘要写作(本大题共1小题,共10分)8、【来源】 2017年1月高考真题上海卷第71题10分Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child's home and family life. Today's children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one's culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, "One explanation is that in Japan, an individual's performance success is credited externally to parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person." Therefore, Japanese learn not to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years. Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.六、翻译(本大题共4小题,共15分)9、【来源】 2017年1月高考真题上海卷第72题3分翻译你不必在乎他人对你的评论。

Before realizing what happened, she was presented a bunch of flowers by two pupils and led to the playground. Then the loving words “Thank you. Wish you health and peace!” from the broadcast wafted (飘荡) over the playground. As she stood in the middle of the playground, teachers switched on an iPod and around 350 schoolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a specially designed formation. The teacher was moved to tears when pupils broke into a flash mob dance to mark her final day after 25 years.In fact, taking her health into account, the leadership of the school has advised Mrs. Gabica to retire from school many times, but she refused firmly. Despite having diabetes in 2011, suffering from pain after being hit by a car in 2014 and even having a sick son to care for many years, Mrs. Gabica persevered in teaching and staying with her pupils. If she did not come to the age for retirement, she would be bound to stay with her pupils because she has a deep love for her career. Her pupils spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King’s He Lives in You, which was one of the mus ic lover’s favorites, being careful not to let their secret out of the bag. Obviously, Mrs. Gabica wasn’t prepared for such a memorable send-off.The headteacher Luke Mansfield said,“It was a wonderful way to celebrate all that Mrs. Gabica has done for the school. Since posting it we have had so many messages from former pupils who remember their happy times in her class. It’s atestament to the hard work and I think she deserves everything that she receives.”25. Which words can best describe the scene of the send-off?A. Surprising and inspiring.B. Touching and surprisingC. Sorrowful and unforgettable.D. Educational and memorable.26. Mrs. Gabica had to end her career because of ________.A. a car accidentB. a serious diseaseC. her retirement ageD. the need of her family27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mrs. Gabica is an experienced music teacher.B. Mrs. Gabica directed the flash mob dance secretly.C. Mrs. Gabica’s family may need help after her retirement.D. Mrs. Gabica is thought highly of by her leadership.28. The passage mainly tells us Mrs. Gabica _________.A. received many gifts on Teachers’ DayB. has achieved many honors in her careerC. was given quite a surprise on her final teaching dayD. was extremely welcomed by teachers and pupilsCUniversity can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunningthem at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to shareeverything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove relia ble statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.[:]29. The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.A. are important for him and others like CatyB. have the power to make students learn moreC. are frequently used by many university studentsD. should be used by all of the students in universities30. The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”A. avoidingB. choosingC. usingD. adding31. Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?A. She hates to share everything with others.B. She hopes her personal information is safe.C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.32. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?A. She is completely against them.B. She herself refuses to use them.C. She is completely for them.D. She is objective.DMany runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listeningto music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music fo r the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.33. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.34. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives thanreserved people.D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhausting exercise.35. The passage is mainly written ______.A. to recommend different types of music for different peopleB. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levelsC. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on peopleD. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to musicZxxkCom第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherentand 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.“Zootopia” Broke Disney RecordsLast weekend, the latest Disney movie, “Zootopia,” broke records. The movie had the largest opening weekend for a Disney animation(动画片). People across the United States bought more than $75 million worth of tickets.“Zootopia” is a city of animals. The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal (21) team up to find a missing otter(水獭). He is among several animalsthat have suddenly disappeared from the city.“Zootopia” (22) (praise) for its sharp humor and strong message since its release.The film explores racism and other issues in its description of relations (23) two kindsof animals in the city.Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia.” They told reporters that it started out a sa spy movie (24) (set) in several different contexts. But they changed the story (25) they found the animal world especially interesting. They said to (26) something like this. “What’s this world like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, Bush said, they went tothe experts. Not only (27) the writers speak with people who study couture and groupbehavior, but also they talked with animal experts like zookeepers.The creators have noted that the variety of animals was not easy (28) (produce) in drawings. In the movie, 64 species live in multiple neighborhoods (29) (represent) different animals’ living environments. Disney says “Zootopia” is its (30) (complex) animation yet. The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.Section BDirections:After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given inWhy your Password May Not Be As Safe As It SeemsDoes “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 31 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet, they appeared to 32 that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.While many of the password s were still single words, such as “password”, there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to 33 . The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.“Users are becoming slightly more 34 of what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”But 35 no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this---and in 20 per cent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account, had have a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to 36 on.Although the services is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!, said that it was“the first step to 37 passwords”. He said it was a(n) 38 that it was increasingly hard for peop le to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improv ing upon “password” by using “wasspord” or, tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 13tt3r5.“We are, for the most part, predictably 39 when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups,” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 40 , and so do password crackers.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ever been just about to call someone when the phone rings and the person in question is on the other end? Or have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger even though you’re in a(n) 41 situation? If you don’t believe in it, you’ll put it down to 42 and on overactive imagination. But some people believe it is 43 that there is a sixth sense beyond smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight. Now, scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists, but also to find out how you can 44 it to your advantage.Dean Radin, a researcher in California, has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit(招募)4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are any 45 instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict outcomes. The results so far are 46 . In a card test, where you have to 47 which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture, the top scorers hit the right card 48% of the time—the 48 of this happening are 2,669 to 1.49 , Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that are designed to stimulate a specific responses. In the experiment, participants sit alone in a room in front of a computer, with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin resistance and blood flow, which are measures of emotional arousal. Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining 50 before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists, the question is, does it actually 51 ? Radin says it does. “the future of our civilisation depends on 52 that are being made now, whether it’s about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products. We don’t have answers to these important questions, yet what we decide on will 53 our lives for decades or longer. Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the 54 ,” he says. “If it turns out that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time, as I believe the data shows, then 55 this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and d. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher, the students, and the material being studied. The classroom context,generally speaking, includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning. These factors operate on different levels.The physical context, for example, influences what happens in the classroom. Space may restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation. Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning. Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied; a display area presents students’ written work for others to read. Of course, some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together. A room, after all, is just a room. Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur. Straight rows of tables, for example, are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one, recite answers to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning. Interactive learning invites thinking, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and sharing. Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as a whole; they welcome students as active participants. Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning, but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual, group, or whole-class activities. Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables. However, when the students work individually or in groups, they are free to abandon the assigned seating. The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56. According to the passage, “the physical context ” (paragraph 2) may include .A. teachers’ rolesB. themes being studiedC. a display areaD. students’ participation57. Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture? A.B .C .D.58. From the last paragraph, we can learn that .A. classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB. the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC. seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD. interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B. The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C. Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.D. Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.(B)•$15.00USD -8.5x11 Paper •$24.00USD -11x17 Paper •$30.00USD -13x19 Paper •$45.00USD -17x22 Paper •$95.00USD -24x30 Paper •$185.00USD -34x47 Paper •$70.00USD -17x22 Exhibition Canvas (帆布) •$140.00USD -24x30 Exhibition Canvas •$275.00USD -36x50 Exhibition Canvas • $350.00USD -44x61 Exhibition Canvas• $80.00USD -8.5x11 Framed (Black)• $85.00USD -8.5x11 Framed (Brown)• $140.00USD -11x17 Framed (Black)• $150.00USD -11x17 Framed (Brown)• $215.00USD -17x22 Framed (Black)•$225.00USD -17x22 Framed (Brown) A German travel poster showing the Imperial Add to CartThis product ships for free (both in U.S.A. and overseas)Made in U.S.A. / Satisfaction Guaranteed Castle in Nuremberg.Illustrated by Jupp Wiertz, c.1930s.Christmas Shipping Deadlines•Domestic orders placed by December 20 will arrive for Christmas.•Overseas orders placed by December 9 will arrive for Christmas.•Overnight orders placed by December 22 will arrive for Christmas for an additional fee.

Remaining too involved in a kid’s life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.This wisdom seems sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance. The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims’ bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid “the overparenting trap” —is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.“Yes, parents can be intruders,” says Marj orie Savage, a researcher in the University of Minnesota. “At the same time, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family.” At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as if bringing up those topics were forbidden, says Branka Kristie, who heads the family-outreach programs. And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before h e failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved, now have a different problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints, report problem and generally stay in touch.Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1 times per week, according to research from Barbara Hofer, a psychology professor at Middlebury College. That’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago, before almost every student had a smartphone.With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place, some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often through email and other social media. Hofstra’s Kristic advises parents to “be a guide, while granting that the student owns the journey.” That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues persist, or if a student isin serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for alittle while.63. In paragraph 3, parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to .A. show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparentingB. provide educators with a new understanding of overparentingC. give a further example of supportive overparentingD. place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting64. The phrase “hopping in the chopper” in the last paragraph refers to .A. having trust in kidsB. stepping i n to solve kids’ problemsC .joining a family-outreach program D. turning to social media for help65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parents.B. How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education.C. Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’ self-reliance.D. There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Why Colleges Need Helicopter ParentsB. How to Improve Parent-school RelationsC. Why Overparenting Is in QuestionD. How to Communicate More as ParentsSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences thanJapanese and American Comic Book HeroesTo some people, the idea of reading comic books seems childish. 67 Comics arepublished globally, but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.68 American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines, dialogue, and color are added. Also, creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams, who keep the superhero “alive.” This is in sharp co ntrast to manga (日本漫画)creators, who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines, dialogue, and artwork. When a manga creator decides to stop, so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes. 69 Also, manga heroes rarely look Japanese, and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context. However, American comic heroes, despite their masks, are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership. Up until the 1950s, American comic books were read by both children and adults, with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month. The arrival of TV, however, led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes. 70 There manga sales are still booming, reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women. Manga for men and boys, like the American comics, tend to be action-oriented, while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends. Because of their lack ofsocial skills, they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In alarge study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan, anindividual’s performance success is credited externally t o parents, grandparents, teachers,coaches, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore, Japanese learnnot to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people whoreport being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years. Due to our hugeadvances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web havereplaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults,too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bankclerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people canuse machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they becomeshy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V.
