The traditional classroom still is a popular vehicle for helping higher learning. Growing inattention is the ability to access institutions of higher education by other41 .Distance learning can be defined in several ways. It can be classes taken42the Internet, Web TV, cable TV , correspondence course, audio conferencing, CD-ROM, videotape or any other mechanism that allows a student to learn without traveling to a traditional classroom. The increaseof these types of programs allows many people who might not43be able to participate to obtain college degrees. People in rural areas, people who are home-bound, or people whose schedules just don ’allowt them the freedom to attend scheduled classes can all44these programs.Just to make it clear, there are not-you-diploma“get-if-you-send-us- $29.95 ” 45. In this feature we are addressing only those programs that are approved and provide the opportunities for people to obtain college and46degrees in a non-traditional manner. People are, however, required to work for their degrees. There are books, lessons, assignments, papers to write, homework, and exams. There is interaction with teachers on a regular basis, and there is usually interaction with other students on a project or work group basis.Corporate America has found that distance learning is a more efficient and cost effective wayto47training to employees. According to the United States Distance Learning Association,“Faced with retraining 50 million American workers, Corporate America is using distance learning, both internally and externally, for all 48 of training. Many 49 corporations save millions of dollars each year using distance learning to train employees more effectively and moreefficiently than with conventional methods.”III.

Reading Comprehension (1’* 22 = 22’)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choosethe one that first best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wearing shabby clothes and stretching out a dirty hand towards people, this is the traditional image of beggars. But nowadays that image has changed in many ways. Beggars can even look exactly like a white-collar worker.With the development of the Internet, beggars also benefit from new technology. Without standing on the street all day long, they can just sit at home and click the keyboard -- "beggar websites" make the begging business much easier.Just by googling the words beggar and website, dozens of such Chinese forums are found. "Please donate 1 yuan; it will help me be rich!"-- that's a common slogan from many of these begging websites.The layout of these sites is quite similar. There are some funny or tragic pictures across the top of the screen, then a request for donations is classified into three levels. 1 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan. Just by clicking on these buttons, one can make a kindly donation. People can pay through an online paying system or send money to a bankcard number.These websites also provide lists of those who have donated, but almost all of them have mostly donated 1 yuan per person, and online stores or other small websites can have a place on the site for a small advertisement after the donation.Actually, such begging websites are not original in China. Online begging first appeared inthe United States. Some individuals opened such websites to relieve their economic embarrassment.In 2002, a woman in New York owed about $20,000 to the bank, so she set up a begging website and, what a surprise, she received over $13,000 from netizens which solved herproblems more or less.In some "professional" begging websites in the United States, the website organizer can even receive many thousands of dollars. However, the income from most of the web sites found in China seems not so good.65.The passage is mainly about __.A.the difference between traditional and modern beggarsB.the begging websiteC.considerable donations onlineD.how to make money online66.What can we conclude from the passage?A.We can make a good living by begging online.B.Western begging websites always make more money than those in China.C.Begging websites can advertise for donators.D.Online begging came into being in China first.67.By what means can people donate money to the online websites?A.People can pay in cash.B.People can pay through online paying systems.C.People can pay by check.D.All the above means.68.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Some begging websites use the donations to help poor people.B.Some begging websites solve their financial problems by receiving donations.C.The improvement of the Internet technology helps beggars make money more easily.D.We can find Chinese begging websites by googling some key words.(B)CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are dividedin groups in the following table. Those about passengers ’things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Consumer service refers to service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets.

Now Copenhagen, the country ’s capital, has become the center of the world political map, with 190 world leaders attending the climate talks there, not to mention thousands of reporters.Just how much do you know about the Scandinavian country?Denmark is famous for its design culture. At the heart of“Danish Design”is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, and that is to do all things with artlessness（朴素） .Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and equality. From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality.“Remove material where it’s not needed. Keep things simple and functional and execute（制作）them carefully, ”explained Hans J. Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame:“The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair. ”“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, packing a punch（使劲出击）way above their country ’s size and population in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,”writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian.The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there. Some even claim thatthe Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world.Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany ’s biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don ’thave to make a great living to survive. ”74. Why has Copenhagen been the focus of attention of all countries again?75. What characteristics （特点）do Danish products have?76.Which sentence in the article is the closest in meaning to the following one?The simple style of Danish design has had an effect on Danish life.77.Why does Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American, choose to live in Denmark rather than the US?(D)Is It Real Property?In real life, if someone steals your cell phone or another belonging, you can report it to the police. but what if your virtual property –such as weapons in a cyber game or QQ show –are stolen? Who should bear the responsibility?Several netizens went to the Tencent company on November 30, accusing it of failing to protect their accounts. They had had their QQ Show avatars clothes and other items stolen. One person lost 1,800 virtual items, worth 60,000 yuan, reported Southern Metropolis Daily. ButTencent said netizens needed to turn to their local cyber police department for help.However, Guo Qing, lawyer of Beijing ’s Yingke Law Firm, said: “If the companies involved can’tprove they ’ve done enough to protect the virtual property, they should bear responsibility. ”In recent years, there has been much talk about virtual property.Players get virtual property from Web games. By engaging in various activities, they get in-game items and virtual money, which be bought and sold within the game.Today, virtual property is a billion dollar world industry. Web games like Secondlife, Entropia and World of Warcraft have their own currencies, which can be bought with hard cash. And players can make money by trading in virtual houses or setting up clothing stores.But today the protection of virtual property still remains a new concept in China, with the law having little to say about the problem. Local police often think virtual property has no real value.But it does have value, some experts say, because players spend time, energy, money, labor and intelligence getting in-game goods. For this reason, they argue that Copyright Law should protect virtual property.Other Chinese experts say Internet thieves should be punished according to the Criminal Law. Wang Xiaoquan, a young netizens in Shenyang, was sentenced to three years in prison by the local court for theft of 100,000 yuan worth of virtual property in May.The protection of virtual property in law has become a trend.In Taiwan, virtual property is regarded as“movable property”in crimes of fraud and theft, and considered as part of one’s private property. Stealing other people’s virtual property is considered a crime and carries a sentence of up to three years in prison.78. When you lose your virtual property, you should.A.accuse the Tencent companyB.report it to the policeC.turn to a lawyer for legal adviceD.write complaint letters to the newspaper79.Why does the protection of virtual property still remain a new concept in China?A.Because the Copyright Law doesn ’tprotect virtual property.B.Because people often think virtual property has no real value.C.Because it has a lot to do with the Criminal Law.D.Because virtual property has become a trend.80.What does the underlined word “currencies”in the 6th paragraph mean?A. propertyB. charactersC. lawsD. money81.What can we conclude from the passage?A.The protection of virtual property is still a controversial issue.B.People can buy any virtual property with hard cash.C.Taiwan is the first to pass a law to punish the virtual thieves.D.Wang Xiaoquan was sentenced to three years in prison for theft of 100,000 yuan.第Ⅱ卷V.

Originality and simplicity were highly valued.Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important.these traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple

designs were made for families without servants.This was a trait of the new middle class.The kitchen went form being a hidden room to a prominent one.Another development was the breakfast nook.This

prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief.But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours.So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts–from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros—to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant(for)even the most after-hours of night owls.1.Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four.“It’s normal to have one or two awakenings,but more than that leaves us feeling groggy in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,”[explains Shelby Harris,director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.]2.The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good.Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep!Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time.Instead,be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of shuteye,so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3.Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on-checking e-mail,scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first.“Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done,but it also leaves you with a burst ofaccomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,”says Jason Selk,co-author of Organize Tomorrow Today.4.Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely to need a break anyway,and save the morning for the important stuff.Specialized Termlife organizational pro(n)生活管理达人someone who is an

us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.B.To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C.To help us to get the most out of our mornings.D.To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.68.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B.To be an early bird,better forget about the snooze button.C.Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.D.It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.69.Where can we find the passage?A.Health SectionB.Travel BrochureC.Life and StudyD.Scientific Journal(C)In some countries where racial prejudice is acute,violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned.There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force;there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men,get up and calmly argue in favor of violence---as if it were a legitimate solution,like any other.What is really frightening,what really fills you with despair,is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻),we have made no actual progress at all.We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint,but our instinct remain basically unchanged.The whole of the recorded history of the human race,that tedious documentation of violence,has taught us absolutely nothing.We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute.The sheer horror,the bloodshed(流血),the suffering mean nothing.No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing.They are despised mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行).If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos,at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all,we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.Our strength is sapped by having to mop to the mess that violence leaves in its wake.In a well-directed effort,it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme.The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us.Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible,providing we work within the framework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races,we must appreciate each other’s problems.And to do this,we must learn about them:it is a simple exercise in communication,in exchange information.“Talk,talk,talk”the advocates of violence say,“all you ever do is talk,and we are none the wiser.”It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge.After listening to a lengthy argument,the judge complained that after all this talk,he was none the wiser.“Possibly,my lord,”the barrister replied,“none the wiser,but surely far better informed.”Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom:the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.70.What is the best title for this passage?A.Advocating Violence.B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race PrejudiceC.Violence as a Legitimate SolutionD.Violence:The Instinet of Human Race71.Recorded history has taught us_______.A.violence never solves anythingB.nothingC.the bloodshed means nothingD.everything72.It can be inferred that truly reasonable men________.A.can’t get a hearingB.are looked down uponC.are persecutedD.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement73.“He was none the wiser”means_______.A.He was not at all wise in listeningB.He was not at all wiser than nothing beforeC.He gains nothing after listeningD.He makes no sense of the argument74.According to the author,the best way to solve race prejudice is______.A.low enforcementB.knowledgeC.nonviolenceD.mopping up the violent

上海市上海交通大学附属中学高中英语阅读理解经典试题(含答案)百度文库
一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.（1）According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?A. Grey-colored dustbins.B. Red-colored dustbins.C. Green-colored dustbins.D. Blue-colored dustbins.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbageB. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than ShanghaiC. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizensD. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing（3）What is the best title for the text?A.How to Sort Garbage in ChinaB.The Current Regulation in BeijingC.Garbage Collection in BeijingD.Waste Recycling Project Counts（4）The passage can be sorted as ________.A.a book reviewB.a travel brochureC.an environment reportD.a geography essay【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。

President Donald Trump's first state dinner excluded Democratic members of Congress and the media, which was criticized by many as a(n) _________ from tradition.A. departureB. benefitC. escapeD. lessonSection BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of __37__ land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to __38__ the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with __39__ which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been __40__. What next?The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become __41__. Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems __42__.From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must __43__ ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that __44__ his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to __45__ places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and __46__ shores.(B)NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, __47__ increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the __48__ of Martian resources, including oxygen.Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds （门槛）, each with __49__ challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.Earth Reliant explorations is __50__ on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed fo r human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of ti me, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.Next, we move into the Proving Ground, __51__ a series of missions near the moon called "cislunar space" to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) __52__ stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.Also in the 2020s, we'll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our __53__ for Mars.Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge __54__ on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the __55__ "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.There are challenges to __56__ Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

According to the International Ecotourism Society, ecotourism can be defined as responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and __57__ the well-being of local people. That is to say, most ecotourism experiences are __58__ at helping people to foster an appreciation of the environment, the conservation of wildlife, plants and resources, and respect and understanding of native __59__.Ecotourism is socially important because it provides a way for people to travel responsibly, and to learn about and respect the environment of these natural places. Ideally, ecotourism professionals organize and __60__ an experience that demonstrates local environmental sustainability and cultural sensitivity for travelers.At the university level, ecotourism programs are usually found in environmental science and recreation management departments. Students learn basic knowledge about different __61__ of tourism (such as accommodation, transportation, business, organization, and hospitality) as well as conservational issues (such as __62__ protection for wildlife and rational __63__ of resources). And in more advanced programs, students will focus on nature-based education, such as and ecological issues. __64__, it is also helpful, and sometimes __65__, to be fluent in a foreign language, or students will not be able to hold a global insight. After graduation, it is also __66__ for students to receive further career training programs, such as Group Dynamics for Ecotourism, Green Event Planning, Natural Resource Assessment and Planning, Intercultural Communications, Wilderness & Remote First Aid, etc, in order to become better adaptable to the updating job requirement.As the threat to our planet __67__ in many communities, their inhabitants are becoming more interested in the natural world around them and in ways to conserve the environment. Ecotourism is growing at three times the __68__ of the tourism sector itself, and demanding more knowledgeable workers __69__ to sustainability.Jobs in ecotourism can be highly risky and adventurous, but also limited by season. Green travel employes generally work for private companies, government and pubic institutions, andnonprofits.

A. while B. because C. even if D. ifSection BDirections: Read the following three passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years go. Now, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs and chat forums offer rival approaches to communication - but none can replace the role of a great speech.The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, payingtribute, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past year, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time.Persuasion is used in dealing with or reconciling different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches confront the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle.A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in meaningful and interesting way. When the H1N1 pandemic （流行病）was announced, the idea of "swine flu" scared many people. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible precautions.Sad events are never easy to deal with, but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music.It's not only in world forums where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives.If you're taking part in a debate you need to persuade the listeners of the soundness of your argument. In sports, athletes know the importance of a pep talk（鼓舞士气的讲话）before a match to inspire teammates. You yourself may be asked to do a presentation at college or work to inform the others about an area of vital importance.On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. Even Barack Obama works hard to perfect every speech. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules, you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past.72. The author thinks the spoken word is still irreplaceable because _______.A. it has always been used to inspire or persuade people.B. it has a big role to play in the entertainment business.C. it plays important roles in human communication.D. it is of great use in everyday-life context.73. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the role of public speaking?A. Speeches at world forums can lead to effective solutions to world problems.B. Speeches from medical authorities can calm people down in times of pandemics.C. The morale of soldiers before a battle can be boosted by senior officers' speeches.D. Speeches paying tribute to the dead can comfort the mourners.74. According to the passage, which of the following best explains the author's view on "great speaking ability"?A. It comes from observing rules.B. It can be perfected with easy effort.C. It can be acquired from birth.D. It comes fr om learning and practice.75. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Public speaking in international forums.B. The many uses of public speaking.C. Public speaking in daily life context.D. The rules of public speaking.(B)0545 0630 0632 0635 06450615 0700 0702 0705 07150645 0730 0732 0735 0745then at the same minutes past each hour until76.

But she had insisted that I come see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I'd gone to o far to turn back. Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway."I'll stay for lunch, but I'm heading back down as soon as the fog lifts," I announced when I arrived."But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car" Carolyn said. "Could we at least do that?""How far is it?" I asked."About three minutes," she said. "I'll drive - I'm used to it."After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. "I thought you said three minutes."She grinned. "This is detour（绕道）."Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.Then we turned a corner and stopped - and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across folds and valleys, were rivers of daffodils in radiant bloom. A profusion（大量）of color - from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most v ivid salmon - blazed like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center there was a waterfall of purple flowers. Here and there were coral - colored tulips. Western bluebirds frolicked（嬉戏）over the heads of the daffodils, their tawny breasts and sapphire wings like a flutter of jewels.A riot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking."The first answer was: "One Woman - Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could scarcely speak. "She changed the world," I finally said, "one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."The wonder of it would not let me go. "Imagine," I said, "if I'd had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?"Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said."Better yet, start today."80. The passage is mainly about _________.A. a successful gardenerB. an inspiring gardening lessonC. a worthwhile travelling experienceD. an unexpected countryside landscape81. The author gasped in amazement because _________.A. the road twisted and turned along the mountainB.the fog crowning the mountain lifted eventuallyC. the owner of the field came to answer her questionsD. the vast stretch of daffodil field took her breath away82. What can be inferred from the story?A. The beautiful daffodil field was all along the road.B. The author and her daughter planned the journey well.C. The owner of the field spent a lot of time working in the field.D. The author planned to work in the daffodil field the next day.83. What lessons did the author learn from this trip?A. East or west, home is best.B. It is never too old to learn .C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Rome is not built in a day.(D)Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists（考古学家）says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their"deep and widespread concern" about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance."Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice," they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have be en granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologists at Sheffield University, said: "Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out his problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer."The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.84. According to the passage , scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _________.A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchC. it was introduced by the government without their knowledgeD. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains85. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at HappisburghC. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.86. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remainsB. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857C. The law on human re mains hasn't changed in recent decades.D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law87. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.II 卷Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

(8) _________ (put) up a tent in oven gloves isn't easy."Her advice to any aspiring adventurers would be to "not worry about (9) _________ comments other people might make.

But there is one game at which expert human players continue to dominate machines: Go(围棋).But researchers at Google DeepMind announced today that they^ve created a sophisticated artificial intelligenee program that has beaten a Go champion for the first time inhistory.To understand what the DeepMind researchers did to create such an impressive program you first have to appreciate why Go is such a difficult game for computers. First, Go has a ridiculous number of possible moves and outcomes一according to the researchers, there are more possible positions in Go than the number of atoms in the universe.The reason why computer had a hard time with Go, explains Jonathan Schaeffer, a computer scientist, is that Go players need a large pool of knowledge—past experiences with the game一to draw from. "In chess a computer can follow preprogrammed rules, but it is not workable for Go, because the game is largely about patterns rather than a set of logical rules that can be written down.The DccpMind team's system addresses both the massive search and lack of knowledge problems. In a newly-published study, they describe combining a search technique and deep learning to overcome these obstacles.To solve the knowledge problem, the researchers used "deep neural networks^一two 13-layer-deep networks that consist of millions of connections and trained them with two methods: For one network, they showed the computer more than 3() million moves from games played by human experts to help the system learn how the best players win; and for both, the researchers had the computer play thousands of games with itself to discover new strategies and learn the game on its own. These two training strategies allowed the computer to recognize patterns in the game and identify what moves gave it the best chance of winning・For the search problem, the researchers exploited the Monte Carlo Tree Search Technique, which allows the system to use statistics to determine the best move, rather than play out every possible outcome. The search technique used by the DeepMind team is not new. What makes DeepMind's AlphaGo so advanced is the way they put together all the tools, along with the high performance of the deep neural networks・“The main novelty is in how they^ve combined these different ingredients together—they^e innovated in doing that/9 says Yoshua, a computer scientist.Now AlphaGo has an immediate problem: how to beat the worlds best Go player, Lee Sedol. This March the two will play each other in Seoul, South Korea・ And although AlphaGo played well against Fan Hui, Schaeffer still predict Sedol will win the match・"But I think the pro will be shocked at how strong the program isj he says・ For now, at least some people are still placing their bets on humans.93.What did AlphaGo achieve for the first time in history according to the passage?A.A ridiculous quantity of results based on how it moves in one game・B.Winning almost all the games against other artificial intelligence program.C- Being the first Google product in Go game.D. Beating a human champion Go expert.94.The researchers made the AlphaGo so impressive a program by _______ •ing Monte Carlo Tree Search, though it5s not a brand new approach to solving the issue.B.implementing a complicated deep-learning system for computer to identify the best move・C- figuring out how to help computer play out all moves and recognize the best possible outcome. D. delicately combining a search method that is not innovative and deep neural networks.95.Why did computer programmers find it extremely hard to design a program for computers to play Go like humans?。

The story ___56___ concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his idealistic ___57___ for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby explores ___58___ of decadence（堕落）, idealism, resistance to change, social disturbance, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as an alarming tale regarding the American Dream.Fitzgerald, ___59___ by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and carefully ___60___." Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book was too vague and ___61___ the author to revise over the next winter. Fitzgerald was uncertain about the book's title, at various times wishing to re-title the novel Trimalchio in West Egg.First published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received ___62___ reviews and sold poorly; in its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel ___63___ a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film ___64___ in the following decades.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases markedA, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.”But __66__ some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of __73__ feedback that improve an individual's emotional state. __74__ one classical theory of emotion. our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to __75__.Although sadness also happens before tears. evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of Wurzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to __76__ a pen either with their teeth --- thereby creating an artificial smile --- or with their lips, which would produce a __77__ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles __78__ more exuberantly to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, __79__ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. __80__, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.66.

A. disappointed B. natural C. joyful D. funny78. A. adapted B. catered C. turned D. reacted79. A. suggesting B. requiring C. mentioning D. supposing80. A. Eventually B. Consequently C. Similarly D. ConverselySection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes ve ry little to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a r obot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on humanbehavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of tab oo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send o ut beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.D)They are ill-bred.88. How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.90. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.上海交通大学附属中学2019届高一分班考（英语）（答案）II．Grammar and Vocabulary1—10 BDCBA BBCAD11—20 CBAAB BDACC21—30 BADDA CBBCD31—40 AAACB ABCBC41—50 DABBC CDCDC51—55 BDABCII. 56—65ABC BD D AD BC C E A AB BIII 66--80CDBAB ADABC DADACIV. 每题两分81—85 CABDB86—90 CDCBA。

This time Shenzhou XIII shortened the orbiting time to about 9 hours, going around the Earth five times. Behind the shorter return time is the improved efficiency of the command center, which during that time has to consider all the factors involved, and make plans for the whole process.The search and rescue team on Earth also performed its remarkable abilities. According to reports, the Dongfeng Landing Site has a search area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which includes desert, salt flats, as well as wetlands, making it challenging to locate where it has landed. ____24____ At 9:57 am, the reentry module(返回舱) touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site.To build a space station and enable astronauts to live in it for quite some time is a key step in China’s manned space missions. 2022 is a key year for China’s space station.

But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____26____Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____27____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so does the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____28____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. ____29____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____30____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface. In addition, the snow that comes from a cannon is icier than natural snow. It melts more slowly, and provides a harder surface for athletes looking for speed. The first Olympics using entirely artificial snow will probably not be the last.A．But they weren’t the last.B．It is made from waterdrops.C．That’s when artificial snow comes in.D．What is artificial snow, and how is it made?E．Temperature also plays a significant role in snowmaking.F．Artificial snow can be applied into a wide range of fields.G．Artificial snow is well worth using in the Winter Olympics.The aftermath (后果) of an earthquake can be horrible, but it is important that you are attentive and focused after an earthquake happens.

If you feel really sad about this, the following steps can help you improve the situation.____41____Since we’re all unique, nobody relates to any two people in exactly the same way. Som etimes a parent might appear to favor you in some situations and favor a sibling in others. No parent can be perfect, but they should do their best to be fair. It’s normal for parents to treat each child little differently, because each kid might benefit from a slightly different approach.Try telling your parents how you feel.Your goal is to communicate your feelings directly without being rude.____42____For example, saying “I feel ignored ”is better than saying “you’re ignoring me.” You can also say,“I feel left out lately. Sometimes I feel like you're so busy taking care of the baby that you don’t have enough time for me.”Ask for what you'd like to happen.____43____This lets them know how they can try to fix the problem. Present an idea that could hel p. You can say,“Could you please try to show up to more of my games so that I'll feel so happy knowing you’re there to cheer me on.”Step away if things get heated.Maybe you or your parents will get angry. It’s hard to have a useful conversation if one or both people are too angry to think straight. If you see this happening, take a break. Do some deep breathing and step away.____44____Remember that your parents have to make the decision to change.Sometimes talking about your feelings is enough for them to change theirbehavior.____45____This typically isn’t your fault (错误). The way they react to an honest conversation says how good they are at parenting, not how good you are at being their child. You can’t change other people. You can only control your o wn behavior.A．Other times it isn't.B．Use “I” language instead of “you” language.C．Keep in mind that every relationship is different.D．Remember that you can always try again another day.E．Understand the situation by talking with your siblings．F．Tell your parents what would help you feel closer to them.G．You may feel better if you have another conversation immediately.Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world.

Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___47___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___48___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also meansthat there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___49___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. ___50___ A．Different culture makes different music.B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.

The discovery could enable crops to be bred which are more adaptive to changes in climate conditions, such as water scarcity, and help ensure food security in the future.These findings, published in the journal Science, describe a new mechanism discovered by cooperating teams at the universities of Nottingham and Durham.Roots are critical for plants to acquire water and nutrients from the soil. Water is essential for plant growth, yet changing climatic conditions makes acquiring water from soil even more challenging. Plants are able to adapt to different soil moisture（湿润） conditions by altering their root architecture, but up until now, it was not understood how this is done.The researchers discovered that plant roots lacking a branching master gene were no longer able to branch out. They found that when roots are exposed to moisture, the certain gene remains active and promotes root branching, but when exposed to air, the gene is inactivated,blocking root branching.Professor Sadanandom explained： ''Plants are relatively immobile and therefore their growth is very much dependent on their environment. Our research has identified the particular protein which can inactivate root branching, therefore limiting plant growth and development." "This is hugely exciting as it opens up the possibility for us to help develop plants that could continue to branch roots even in challenging conditions such as water scarcity."Professor Bennett concluded："Water is critical for plant growth, development and their survival. By studying how plant roots change their branching in response to water availability, we have uncovered a novel mechanism. This represents a major step forward and opens theway for breeders to develop new crops better adapted to climate change and helping deliver global food security."It is absolutely imperative to ensure food security worldwide. Crop production must doubleby 2050 to keep pace with global population growth.

But there are still numerous cities and regions that aren't even mentioned on typical European "to--do" lists. The following destinations offer a perfect reason to step slightly off the beaten track.Innsbruck, AustriaBuried at the foot of the towering Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck offers guests a chance to appreciate a blend of old and new. The old town dates back over 800 years, and provides a glimpse at Medieval life in the region, while the modern Home of the Giant, a massive center of arts, entertainment and shopping, is the largest of its kind in the world. Within the center is the stunning Swarovskio Crystal Cloud. During winter months, tourists can participate in various alpine activities. Skiing, snowboarding and many other sports are offered on the nearby slopes；during summer, the area provides a perfect site for rock climbing and hiking. Nature lovers can visit the Alpine Zoo, while history lovers can get lost in the many museums and galleries the town has to offer.Tallinn, EstoniaLocated in Estonia and rarely featured as a must-see destination, Tallinn, nonetheless, offers a fascinating chance to relive history in one of Europe's lesser-visited nations. A vibrant city that frequently hosts festivals of various genres, Tallinn is home to the expansive Kumu Art Museum, which has got both classic and contemporary pieces, and the Open Air Museum, a recreated historic village complete with staff in ancient costumes. To add a brilliant final touch to the Estonian experience, visitors should listen for the haunting sounds of the organ from one of the many churches around the city.Cinque Terre, ItalyA UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997， the villages of Cinque Terre have a range of activities for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can opt to dive or snorkel（潜水） in the marine park, and anyone chasing nature can watch the birdlife in the Riomaggiore's Torre Guardiola. Manarola is famous for producing Sciacchetra wine, and another village, Vernazza, is known for its cobbled（铺有鹅卵石的） street and various laneways. Vernazza is also home to the Gothic-Ligurian church, which was built in 1318．Zadar, CroatiaFull of creative architecture and full of history, the city of Zadar in Croatia continues to fascinate visitors year after year. The famous Wide Street, which is even older than the city itself is a reminder of the Roman influence on the area. The Museum of Ancient Glass has a vast collection of Roman glassware from the commanding 19th-century Cosmacendi Palace.（1）What's the purpose of the passage？___A． To explain why the four places are "off the beaten track"．B． To compare the four places with Europe's major tourist destinations.C． To require the four places to be added on typical European ''to-do'' lists.D． To illustrate the unique attractions worth seeing in the four places.（2）Which of the following is NOT right based on the passage？___A． Innsbruck is a charming city, drawing natural explorers, art lovers and shopaholics.B． In the Open Air Museum, visitors may experience history with the staff dressed in clothes of ancient times.C． Cinque Terre provides an access to exciting outdoor activities and relaxing cultural tour.

On the contrary, it helps farmers and improves forest soils. This is the unorthodox（非正统的） view of a German soil scientist who has shown that burnt clearings in the Amazon, dating back more than 1，000 years, helped create patches of rich, fertile soil that farmers still benefit from today.Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because they lack minerals and because the heat and heavy rainfall destroy most organic matter in the soils within four years of it reaching the forest floor. It means topsoil contains few of the ingredients needed for long-term successful farming. But Bruno Glaser, a soil scientist of the University of Bayreuth, has studied unexpectedpatches of fertile soils in the central Amazon. These soils contain lots of organic matter.Glaser has shown that most of this fertile organic matter comes from "black carbon"， the organic particles from camp fires and charred（烧焦的） wood left over from thousands of years of slash-and-burn farming. "The soils, known as Terra Preta, contained up to 70 times more black carbon than the surrounding soil," says Glaser.Unburnt vegetation rots quickly but black carbon persists in the soil for many centuries. Radiocarbon dating shows that the charred wood in Terra Preta soils is typically more than 1，000 years old."Slash-and-burn farming can be good for soils provided it doesn't completely burn all the vegetation, and leaves behind charred wood," says Glaser. ''It can be better than manure（粪肥）． Burning the forest just once can leave behind enough black carbon to keep the soil fertile for thousands of years. And rainforests easily regrow after small-scale clearing. Contrary to the conventional view that human activities damage the environment," Glaser says："Black carbon combined with human waste is responsible for the richness of Terra Preta soils."Terra Preta soils turn up in large patches all over the Amazon, where they are highly prized by farmers. All the patches fall within 500 square kilometers in the central Amazon. Glaser says the widespread presence of pottery confirms the soil's human origins. The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for "virgin" forest.During the past decade, researchers have discovered hundreds of large earth works deep in the jungle. They are up to 20 meters high and cover up to a square kilometer. Glaser claims that these earth works, built between AD 400 and 1400， were at the heart of urban civilizations. Now it seems the richness of the Terra Preta soils may explain how such civilizations managed to feed themselves.（1）According to the passage, it is generally believed that___ ．A． slash-and-burn farming betters the forest soilsB． slash-and-burn farming reduces the black carbon in the soilsC． slash-and-burn framing does harm to the forest soilsD． slash-and-burn farming damages the minerals in the soils（2）Why are most rainforest soils thin and poor？___A． The topsoil contains a relatively small number of the ingredients.B． Most organic matter is missing because of the heat and heavy rain.C． A majority part of soils are likely to be washed away by heavy rain.D． Black carbon and human waste negatively impact the soil to a great extent.（3）Glaser claims that rainforests will recover___ ．A． when the vegetation is burnt completelyB． if there is no slash-and-burn farmingC． at a slow rate after small-scale burningD． readily after small-scale burning（4）Which of the following statement is probably true according to the passage？___A． Amazon rainforest soils used to be the richest in the world.B． Human activities will do great damage to rainforests.C． There once existed an urban civilization in the Amazon rainforests.D． Farming is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforests.35.（填空）Certainly, US monetary policy___ （intend） to address both financial and economic issues in the US．36.（填空）My sister said she heard Jerry___ （sing） a song of Jay Chou at the singing competition and won the first prize.37.（填空）While gingko trees can live for a long time, they are not even near___ （be） the oldest trees.38.（填空）These are the doctors___ （send） to the war-torn area for the relief effort next week.39.（填空）The department manager was unemployed after___ （accuse） of taking the company belongings for himself.40.（填空）Angkor Wat the pride of Cambodia, is believed___ （discover） again in 1858．41.（填空）___ （find） some leisure time to take a boat trip, and you will be attracted by the beautiful scenery along the Li River.42.（填空）In 2015， an unknown Chinese scientist at Sun Yat-Sen University was the first one___ （edit） the DNA of human embryos（胚胎）， which caused a great controversy.43.（填空）The path___ （蜿蜒曲折） through the mountains.44.（填空）___ （说到恶性循环） that the country has fallen into, we must take measures to stop it.45.（填空）When she was preparing for the presentation, she___ （她收集了一些关于这座体育场的信息）．46.（填空）___ （创造力是因人而异的）， so we shouldn't ask every member of the team to come up with brilliant new ideas.47.（填空）For its protection,___ （admit 每天只有一百名游客允许进入） the old house.48.（填空）Those officials believe that___ （accessible 有些决策不应该让公众知晓）．49.（填空）The children___ （leave 把他们的衣服挂在门边） and ran to play football on the playground.50.（填空）After enjoying the main course, they___ （round 用节日的特色菜来结束这顿晚餐）．51.（填空）政府要求博物馆的装修在年底前完成．（demand）___52.（填空）关于如何画好一幅山水画，她终于想到了一个不错的点子．（take shape）___53.（填空）从远处看，这栋雄伟的建筑物像一座有着悠久历史的宫殿一般．（see）___54.（填空）这件文物代表着西藏文明，这就是它出现在这本旅游手册上的原因．（reason）___。

It changedthe style of building in the United States.The craftsman style originally began in Europe. The British Arts and Crafts style arose in the 1860s.The unique designs of this movement tried to offer dignity to the common person. Handmade items werepreferred because they were thought better than items that were mass-produced. But this British style wasstill Victorian. It still only served the wealthiest clients.In 1897 a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to America. They planned ashow of craft objects, which turned out to be a huge success. Here they realized the potential andestablished the Society of Arts and Crafts on June 28, 1897. Its slogan was"to develop and encouragehigher standards in the handicrafts”.The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending. It emphasized handmade work. Originalityand simplicity were highly valued. Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important. These traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally. They were also very elegant.The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian opulence. The increase of mass-produced housing items wasrejected. The American Craftsman used clean lines. It also relied on sturdy structure. Natural materialswere always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home. New designs were made forfamilies without servants. This was a trait of the new middle class. The kitchen went from being a hiddenroom to a prominent one. Another development was the breakfast nook. This new area provided thefamily with a place to gather at any time of day.Also, inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs. The AmericanCraftsman style led to the Art Deco movement of the 1930s.84. According to the passage, the American Craftsman style is a type of _________A. Shaker and Mission design.B. house made for families with servants.C. design which was popular from 1900 to the 1930s.D.breakfast nook.85.

It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.89.Where can we find the passage?A. Health SectionB. Travel BrochureC. Life and StudyD. Scientific Journal【答案】CBC（C）In some countries where racial prejudice is acute.violence has so come to be taken tor granted as means of solving differences that it is not even questioned.There are countries where the white manimposes his rule by brute force;there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to citiesand by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respects appear to bereasonable men,get up and calmly argue in favor of violence---as if it were a legitimate solution, likeany other.What is really frightening,what really fills you with despair,is the realization that when itcomes to the crunch(关键时刻),we have made no actual progress at all.We may wear collars and tiesinstead of war-paint,but our instinct remain basically unchanged.The whole of the recorded history ofthe human race,that tedious documentation of violence,has taught us absolutely nothing. We have stillnot learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute.The sheer horror,thebloodshed(流血),the suffering mean nothing.No solution ever comes to light the morning after whenwe dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get ahearing.They are despised,mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate suchapparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行).If half the energy that goes into violent actswere put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improvingliving standards and providing education and employment for all,we would have gone a long way toarriving at a solution.Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in itswake.In a well-directed effort,it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stablesocial programme.The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparentin the world around us.Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within theframework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races,we mustappreciate each other's problems.And to do this,we must learn about them:it is a simple exercise incommunication,in exchangeinformation."Talk,talk,talk”the advocates of violence say, "all you everdo is talk,and we are none the wiser.”It's rather like th e story of the famous barrister who painstakinglyexplained his case to the judge.After listening to a lengthy argument,the judge complained that after allthis talk,he was none the wiser."Possibly,my lord,"the barrister replied,"none the wiser, but surely far better informed.”Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom:the knowledge that violencecreates the evils it pretends to solve.90.What is the best title for this passage?A.Advocating Violence.B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race PrejudiceC.Violence as a Legitimate SolutionD.Violence:The Instinct of Human Race91.Recorded history has taught usA.violence never solves anythingB.nothingC.the bloodshed means nothingD.everything92.It can be inferred that truly reasonable men.A.can't get a hearingB.are looked down uponC.are persecutedD.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement93.“He was none the wiser"meansA.He was not at all wise in listeningB.He was not at all wiser than nothing beforeC.He gains nothing after listeningD.He makes no sense of the argument94.According to the author,the best way to solve race prejudice isw enforcementB.knowledgeC.nonviolenceD.mopping up the violent mess答案：BBACAI.

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.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But __66__ some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of __73__ feedback that improve an individual's emotional state. __74__ one classical theory of emotion. our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to __75__.Although sadness also happens before tears. evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of Wurzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to __76__ a pen either with their teeth --- thereby creating an artificial smile --- or with their lips, which would produce a __77__ expression.

ConverselySection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82.

The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very little to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a wayto set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86.
