One day I was driven by a rain﹣storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road﹣side，which was used by a shoe﹣maker as his workshop to fix shoes．The man and his son were busy with their work；and after saying，"Good day，" we began to talk together．Before I had been with them long， the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair． His son was only one kilometre away，but it was too long for the h （1）________ shoe﹣maker to be free． He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it， saying， "You know， sir， it will never do to waste time．"As soon as the rain was over， I went on my way home，thinking over what I had heard，"It will never do to waste time．" Some people are always lazy，others are lazy only now and then．I was one of the second ones． I couldn't f （2）________ my attention all the time．So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w（3）________it was to waste so much of my life in laziness．I had often heard and read that laziness was great h（4）________； but now I begin to seethat it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of． They don't know thewasted time never goes back．When a man is busy， he is said to be "occupied．" What does that mean？ It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it．When our minds are full of our work，there is no s（5）________ for anything else． Laziness， on the other hand， is emptiness；and when the mind is empty， then the doors are thrown open， and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart． When it once gets hold of a man， the habit of laziness isn't e （6）________ got rid of．I have made up my mind to follow the shoe﹣maker's rule for the rest of my life． Although it was very hard at first， I stick to it because I learn to r（7）________ myself not to waste time． Above all， I decide that my mind should never be empty．D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）41. Many young people love western festivals not because of their cultural meaning， but because of life fun．They don't think it important to know the cultural meaning about western festivals．Actually，we don't just need to remember their names， but we should have an understanding of their culture and history．Western festivals are popular in China because of the differences between western festivals and Chinese ones．Chinese festivals and western festivals were born for different reasons． Chinese festivals mainly came from celebrations， worship and other activities． However， most western festivals are linked with religions（宗教）． Also the ways that western people and Chinese people celebrate festivals aren't similar． Let's take Christmas and the Spring Festival as an example． At Christmas， people prepare Christmas cards， Christmas trees and hold Christmas evenings． Traditionally， Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival based on blood relationship in the forms of watching television and paying New Year's visits． In addition，western festivals deliver quite different values from Chinese ones．For example，the Valentine's Day，which falls on February14th，adds fresh mind to Chinese．The festival spreads seeds in﹣every corner of China and encourages people to look for true love which belongs to themselves． Ancient Chinese people don't dare to think of that．Whether you like western festivals or not，you can't ignore the effect western festivals they have brought to us．We are paying more attention to thanks﹣giving and emotions instead of food and money．They have made great contributions to enrich our culture．（1）Many young people love western festivals because of life fun， don't they？________ （2）Why are western festivals popular in China？________（3）How do western people usually celebrate Christmas according to the article？________ （4）What don't ancient Chinese people dare to think of？________（5）How many differences between western festivals and Chinese festivals are mentioned in the article？________（6）Which western festival did you celebrate？What advantages can you gain after understanding western festivals？ List two points．________VII.

Many young people love western festivals not because of their cultural meaning， but because of life fun．They don't think it important to know the cultural meaning about western festivals．Actually，we don't just need to remember their names， but we should have an understanding of their culture and history．Western festivals are popular in China because of the differences between western festivals and Chinese ones．Chinese festivals and western festivals were born for different reasons． Chinese festivals mainly came from celebrations，worship and other activities． However， most western festivals are linked with religions（宗教）． Also the ways that western people and Chinese people celebrate festivals aren't similar． Let's take Christmas and the Spring Festival as an example． At Christmas， people prepare Christmas cards， Christmas trees and hold Christmas evenings． Traditionally， Chinese peoplecelebrate the Spring Festival based on blood relationship in the forms of watching television and paying New Year's visits． In addition，western festivals deliver quite different values from Chinese ones．For example，the Valentine's Day，which falls on February14th，adds fresh mind to Chinese．The festival spreads seeds in﹣every corner of China and encourages people to look for true love which belongs to themselves． Ancient Chinese people don't dare to think of that．Whether you like western festivals or not，you can't ignore the effect western festivals they have brought to us．We are paying more attention to thanks﹣giving and emotions instead of food and money．They have made great contributions to enrich our culture．（1）Many young people love western festivals because of life fun， don't they？________ （2）Why are western festivals popular in China？________（3）How do western people usually celebrate Christmas according to the article？________ （4）What don't ancient Chinese people dare to think of？________（5）How many differences between western festivals and Chinese festivals are mentioned in the article？________（6）Which western festival did you celebrate？What advantages can you gain after understanding western festivals？ List two points．________VII.

She is a digital assistant that is part of the voice activated Echo Dot smart speaker produced by Amazon. This year Saint Louis University in Missouri has placed one of the speakers in every dorm room (21)its campus. Students can ask the virtual assistant anything from When are the football teams playing? to What's the square root of 1440?SLU student Brendan McGuire said: Instead of searching on the Internet while I (22)(tap) away at my computer, I can just ask Alexa: Hey Alexa, ask SLU whats the molecular (4 FMJ) weight of water?. And. L can have the answer without (23)(interrupt) my process."

All of the clothes are so _ 31 , he says, that they could be worn today. WhileZara of Spain and H&M of Sweden follow fashion trends without having any original thought, UNIQLO of Japan 32— to timeless basics.Mr. Yanai has a/an_ 33__ base at home from which to develop into his Western competitors Aain markets of Europe and America. But instead his _34__ remains Asia. Asia is the engine of growth today." he says, pointing to the millions of consumers across the_ 35—who are reaching the middle class. UNIQLO will open its first shop in India this year and is considering. —36— into Vietnam and other countries (it has already opened networks of shops in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand).The success or not of UNIPLO's overseas operations _37 greatly to investors at home. Fast Retailing's shares --- Mr. Yanai owns just over 20% of the firm -- have been rising since 2015, analysts estimate, largely owing to its international expansion and improved logistics 9ikiY .At home the firm is closing stores because the population is 38 . Last year UNIQLO's international profits overtook its _39_ sales for the first time and its foreign operation profits almost equaled its Japanese equivalent.Though they are very different markets, Europe and America offer a cautionary tale. UNIQLO in America struggled outside the big cities of the east and west coasts. Growth in America remains 40 for UNIQLO both there and in Europe. However, Mr. Yanai, an enthusiastic fan of globalization, is confident that he can guide UNIQLO through the changes needed.m. 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.If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize (苦苦思索)over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High _41— are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another.And as some researchers have discovered, —42 perfection can have serious consequences to mental and physical well-being.Since perfectionism is 43 with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes _44__ to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesn't mean being unsuccessful. 45 mistakes are an important part of learning and growing.46 , imperfection can actually help us in the long run.One possible _47— to perfectionism involves developing what psychologists call a growth mindset （思维方式）.Researchers at Stanford University have found that cultivating a growth mindset is a key way to help us learn from our failures. Unlike those with________________________________ 48 mindsets -- who see their skill levels as in born and unchangeable, those with growth mindsets believe they can improve their abilities by learning from their mistakes. Psychologists point out that parents canplay a _ 49_ role in helping their children develop healthier attitudes towards failure: they can praise their children for making an effort even if their results are imperfect and help children learn to _ 50 when they make mistakes.Another 5l option for perfectionism is to cultivate self-compassion （自我同情）.To understand self-compassion, thank about how you would 52 a close friend if they madea mistake.Chances are that you d probably make responses with kindness and understanding, knowing that your friend meant well. The idea behind self-compassion is that we should treat ourselves 53 when we make mistakes, remind ourselves that mistakes are part of beinghuman, and avoid being 54 by negative emotions. Self-compassion can be beneficial formental healt h, but perfectionists tend not to treat themselves in compassionate ways. If you,re interested in trying to foster more self-compassion the researcher who developed the concept of self-compassion has a short exercise you can try.Psychologists have also suggested that cognitive （认知的）behavioral therapy can be a way to help people change their beliefs about perfectionism. Although perfectionism is linked to lower mental health,the good news is that perfectionism is something you can change. By working to see mistakes as learning 55, and replacing self-criticism with self-compassion, it's possible toovercome perfectionism and develop a healthier way of setting goals for yourself.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 just read.(A)I had a teacher who used to wake up in class by shouting: The early bird gets the worm!" I say let him have the worm". I hate f ood that doesn,t stay stil l, and avoid 'Japanese restaurants for that very reason.Anyway, I stopped eating worms at the age of three, switching to regular breakfasts of cereal (谷物)，to which I would add extra sugar.Recently I was thinking about early birds and the competitive spirit after receiving a letter from a reader in Malaysia: "My son deliberately throws away marks because he doesn't like to be top of the class.What shall I do?" Give him a round of applause for being smart! Actually many children in Asia tend to be the focus by performing betterPlaced into a very competitive class when I was 11, I quickly learned the ideal position was second to last. The top three performers' and the very last person are highlighted; the second-to-last contestant is INVISIBLE. And it's an easy position to get- -just deliberately underperform at every test. I could do that.I once came second to last in eight straight sports day races. No one suspected anything. I was so invisible that I could have robbed a bank in my street and no one would have noticed.At the London Olympics a few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds. It was funny to watch, but they were all thrown out for poor sportsmanship. What they really needed were acting lessons, their moves were so unconvincing.Oops, I hit the ball in entirely the wrong direction.The other day, I took the children out and they raced for the car. I,m first." said on e. The second said: First is worst, second is best. Together they sang at the last one: And third's the one with a hairy chest.It struck me that the organizers of sports matches could use this song when people deliberately lost matches. I lost, the delighted loser will say. The judges could still declare them winners, pointing to anew, optional regulation: First is worst, second is best, third's the one with a hairy chest.56.Why did the author dislike Japanese restaurant?A.Its food was served raw.B.Its food contained worms.C.He was tempted by cereal.D.He was affected by the saying.57.How did the author manage to be invisible in a competitive class?A.He highlighted the top three students.B.He came to second in sports races.C.He hid himself in a bank skillD.He intentionally underperformed.58.What can be learned from the passage?A The judge is encouraged to eliminate the dishonest players.B.Players disqualified from Olympic doubles for using drugs.C.Children"s song praises the dramatic acting skills of athletes.D.Players purposefully failed for easier lots in the following rounds.59.Which saying might the author possibly support?A Great minds think alike.B.God favors those who are prepared.C.Honesty is the best policy.D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush(B)Shot in more than 40 locations in L.A., the musical La La Land is "a love letter to the city". To coincide with UK release, we asked a local writer to pick some of the film's amazing settings. JudgeHarry Pregerson InterchangeLa La Land's opening scene is a six- minute dance that plays out in L.A.'s bad traffic. It is also where the films leading roles, struggling actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian, first encounter each other -in a road anger incident. The scene is said to have been filmed over two hot days in south L.A. Smokehouse Restaurant, BurbankThis is the setting for the scene in which Mia discovers Sebastian"s talent for the piano. The fic tional Lipton,s r estaurant--where jazz purist Sebastian was reluctant to play Christmas music--is in reality a place long frequented by actors, producers and other show business types. It has been on this spot,across the street from the Warner Bros studio, since 1949. In the film, the outer wall of Lipton's is the You are the Star mural () , which features Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and others, which is on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Wicox Avenue in Hollywood in reality.Warner Bros Studios, BurbankMia works at the studio's coffee shop, where Sebastian comes to meet her. As they wander the studio's lot, Mia points out " the window that Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman looked out in Casablanca. It's one of the film's numerous nods to movie history. Warner Brons is still a working studio,with 35 sound stages, 14 exterior sets and visitor tours.Cathy's Corner, Mount Hollywood DriveThis section of the road that winds through Grifth Park is the setting. of their dance play. It overlooks the San Fernando Valley and features on the film poster. Cathy's Corner is near famed Mulholland Drive, but prepare for disappointment if you re expecting a park bench and street lamps, which only exist in the movie.60.In order to encounter some film stars, you may go toA.Judge Harry Pregerson InterchangeB.Smokehouse RestaurantC.Warner Bros StudioD.Cath's Corner61.Mia mentioned the underlined sentence so as toA.stress Warner Bros is still in functionB.show respect for movies of previous generationsC.illtrate La La Land was filmed at Hollywood Center Studios_pare Mia and Sebastian's love story with Humphrey and Ingrid62.In which section of a website can you most probably find this passage? A. Nature and Environment.B.City and Transport.C.Travel and Recreation.D.Food and Health.(C)Few facts about modern life seem more undeniable than how busy everyone seems to be. Across the industrialized world, large numbers of survey respondents tell researchers they' re overburdened with work,at the expense of time with family and friends.But the total time people are working , whether paid or otherwise, has not increased in Europe or North America in recent decades. What' s more, the date also show that the people who say they' re thebusiest generally aren't.Part of the answer is simple economics. As economies grow, and the incomes of the better-off have risen over time, time has literally become more valuable: Any given hour is worth more, so we experience more pressure to squeeze in more work.But it's also a result of the kind of work in which many of us are engaged. In the past, farming work was subject to weather limits, white at present people live in an unlimited world, and there are always more incoming emails, more meetings, more things to read, and digital mobile technology means you have a few more to-do list items.With time pressure weighing us down, it's hardly surprising that we live with one eye on the clock. But psychological research demonstrates that this time -awareness actually leads to worse performance. So the ironic consequence of the busy feeling is that we could handle to-do list less well than if we weren't so rushed.Arguable worst of all. the feeling. of rush spreads to affect our leisure time, so that even when life finally does permit an hour or two for recovery, we end up feeling that leisure time should be spent productively. too.If there's a solution to the busyness epidemic ( 流行病)，other than the universal 2l-hour workweek, it may lie in clearly realizing just how reasonable our attitudes have become. Historically, the ultimate symbol of wealth, achievement and social superiority was the freedom not to work. Now, it's busyness that has become the indicator of high status. The best-off in our society are often very busy, and have to be, says Gershunny. You ask me, am I busy, and I tell you: Yes, of course I'm busy because I'm an important person!Too often, we measure our worth not by the results we achieve, but by how much of our time we spend. We live crazy lives, at least in part, because it makes us feel good about ourselves.63.According to the author, people's feeling about busyness results from_A.the increase in time valueB.the sacrifice of family timeC.the longer working timeD.the change of working partners64.The underlined phrase weighing us down" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to A. making usoverburdenedB.having a positive effect on usC.measuring us in all aspectsD.giving us time for reflection65.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The solution to busyness is applying a 21-hour workweekB.If people had leisure time, they would relax themselves.C.The feeling of being burdened spells low productivity.D.Freedom is overrepresented in the current society.66.What does the passage mainly concerned with?A.The measurement of wealth in the current society.B.The evolution of people's attitude towards busyness.C.The hidden reasons and effects of people's busyness.D.The solution to prioritizing the crucial tasks in busyness.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Meal kits （餐具）cut food waste but packaging is a problemHome delivery meal kits can （大幅削减）food waste by more than two-thirds , but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.67. That means leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste, buying the same ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if you have meals that are tailored for consumption, people won't over-buy and you have less food waste. You fine-tune the portions to what people will actually eat!Beyond the cost of the waste itself, thrown-away food generates methane （甲烷）that contributes to climate change. 68. A 2018 report from the Boston Consulting Group found that the waste was set to soar by a third by 2030 when global food waste was estimated to reach 2.1 bn tonnes.Meal kits can reduce transport emissions if they mean people take fewer trips to the supermarket. If people only went to buy goods that are unlikely to decay such as soap and toilet paper,they might only have to visit the supermarket once every couple of months. That delivery truck can carry meals for you and dozens of neighbors.69.The study found that even if delivered meal kits reduced food waste to zero, they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth.70. All the environmental benefits are lost. But if the packaging can be reused, you can get some benefits.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 fa as possible.Loneliness PeaksFor years America has been talking about obesity, but a new study points to a more serious health issue: isolation and loneliness.Being connected to others socially is widely considered a fundamental human need -crucial to both well-being and survival. Extreme examples show infants who lack human contact in care fail to grow and often die. Indeed, social isolation has been used as a form of punishment. According to Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the lead author of the study, an increasing portion of the U.S. population now population now experiences isolation regularly. Over 42 million adults above age 45 in the U.S. are estimated to be sufferingfrom chronic 长期的)loneliness.The study of 340 adults between the ages of 27 and 101 living in San Diego identified three key age ranges when people felt the loneliest. Participants who had the highest levels of loneliness were in their late-20s, mid-50s and late-80s. While it may come as a surprise that people in theirlate-20s suffered from loneliness, a larger survey shows they actually may suffer the hardest.With an increasing number of people working from home, watching television, getting into an addiction to electronic devices, it has become too easy to be alone, even if that's not a person's intention. Modern day conveniences like having anything we want delivered make it possible to never need to leave the house. So, not surprisingly, those with frequent social contact usually feel less lonely than those with few social ties.Mounting evidence suggests social isolation and loneliness significantly impact our health, and even shorten our lives, just like obesity. This study isn't the first time loneliness has been flagged as an emerging health issue.

2019上海市浦东新区高中英语二模(含答案)浦东新区2019学年度第二学期期终教学质量监控测试高三英语试卷第 I 卷 (共100分)I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and vocabularySection APumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into the London Zoo that a wild puma (21)_______ (spot) forty miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts decided to investigate.The hunt (22)_______ the puma began in a small village where a woman (23)_______ (pick) blackberries saw “a large cat” only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being (24)________ it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at (25)_______ place twenty miles away in the evening. (26)_______ it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Sev eral people complained of “cat-like noises” at night and a businessman on a (27)_______ (fish) trip saw the puma up a tree.The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, (28)_______ where had it come from?As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one (29)_______ have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing (30)_______(think) a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.A multicultural person is someone who is deeply convinced that all cultures are equally good, enjoys learning the rich variety of cultures in the world, and most likely has been exposed to more than one culture in his or her lifetime.You cannot motivate anyone, especially someone of another culture, until that person has accepted you. A multilingual salesperson can explain the advantages of a product in other languages, but a multicultural salesperson can motivate foreigners to buy it. That’s a(an) (31)________ difference.No one likes foreigners who are arrogant(自大的) about their own culture. The trouble is, most people are arrogantly monocultural without being aware of it and even those who are can’t hide it. Foreigners sense monocultural arrogance at once and set up their own cultural barriers, which may effectively (32)_______ any attempt by the monocultural person to motivate them.Multiculturalism is a(an) (33)_______ that has been neglected too often in hiring managers for international positions. Even if your company is not a multinational one, chances are you’re in touch with foreign customers or manufacturers. Do you have the right employee to build up the (34)_______?For 20-odd years, I’ve run an executive-search firm from Brussels. When clients ask us to find the right person for a new pan-European sales or management position, I start by asking themto (35)_______ the qualifications their ideal candidate would have. Most often they list the same qualities they would want for a domestic position, but with the (36)_______ requirement that the new manager be fluent enough in English, German and French to cope with faxes and email. It sometimes takes me hours to persuade clients that the linguistic(语言的) abilities they see as crucial are not enough.Of course, it’s far more difficult to (37)_______ candidates’ multiculturalism than it is to check their language skills --- but it’s also a far more important (38)_______ to success. I remember a company that asked me to out a salesman they were planning to send to Mexic o. He’d studied Spanish, and had grown up in New York City --- the most (39)_______ diverse place in America. But when I interviewed him, he turned out to have no concept of the great pride Mexicans took in their culture, and moreover he was (40)_______ about Mexican restaurants and markets being dirty and unsafe. I rejected him --- just as Mexican buyers would have if he’d been selected for the job.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AHailing from Sweden, “plogging” is a fitness craze that sees particip ants pick up plastic litter while jogging - adding a virtuous, environmentally driven element to the sport.Plogging appears to have started around 2016, but is now going global, due to increasing awareness and (41)_______ over plastic levels in the ocean.The appeal of plogging is its (42)_______-- all you need is running gear and a bin bag, and the feeling of getting fit while supporting a good cause. By adding regular squats(蹲) to pick up junk and carrying (43)_______ to jogging, we can assume the health benefits are increased.Running and good causes have always gone (44)_______ - just think of all the fundraising marathon runners do. But there couldn’t be a more on-trend way of keeping fit than plogging.Anything that’s getting people out in nature and c onnecting (45)_______ with their environment is a good thing, says Lizzie Carr, an environmentalist who helped set up Plastic Patrol, a nationwide campaign to (46)_______ our inland waterways of plastic pollution. “There’s been a real (47)_______ in the public mindset around plastics, helped by things like Blue Planet highlighting how disastrous the crisis is,” she says.We need to keep momentum high and the pressure up, and empower people through (48)_______ like plogging and Plastic Patrol.The Plastic Patrol app allows users to (49)_______ plastic anywhere in the world by collecting discarded items, photographing them and (50)_______ to the app, giving us a better knowledge of what sorts of plastic and which brands are being thrown out. “I’d urge all plog gers to get involved,” adds Carr.Plogging isn’t the first fitness trend to combine running with a good cause. Here are some of our favourites:Good GymIts idea is simple: go for a run, visit an elderly person, have a chat and some tea, and run back.(51)_______ among the elderly is a growing problem in the UK. With over 10,000 runs so far,(52)_______, Good Gym is finding a solution.Guide RunningGuide runners volunteer their time to helping blind people get (53)_______. By linkingthemselves together, the (54)_______ - impaired individual can feel safe while both work up a sweat.(55) _______ for the HomelessStart-up Stuart Delivery and the Church Housing Trust collaborated last year in bringing clothing and healthy food to the homeless.

CyclingSection B(A)In 1982, I had responsibility for Stephen Ha wking’s third academic book for the Press, Superspace and Supergravity. This was a messy collection of papers from a technical workshop on how to devise a new theory of gravity. While that book was in production, I suggested he try something easier: a popular book about the nature of the Universe, suitable for the general market.Stephen hesitated over my suggestion. He already had an international reputation as a brilliant theoretical physicist working on rotating black holes and theories of gravity. And he had concerns about financial matters: importantly, it was impossible for him to obtain any form of life insurance to protect his family in the event of his death or becoming totally dependent on nursing care. So, he took precious time out from his research to prepare the rough draft of a book.At the time, several bestselling physics authors had already published non-technical books on the early Universe and black holes. Stephen decided to write a more personal approach, by explaining his own research in cosmology and quantum theory.One afternoon, in the 1980s, he invited me to take a look at the first draft, but first he wanted to discuss cash. He told me he had spent considerable time away from his research, and that he expected advances and royalties(定金和版税) to be large. When I pressed him on the market that he foresaw, he insisted that it be on sale, up front, at all airport bookshops in the UK and the US. I told that was a tough call for a university press. Then I thumbed the typescript. To my dismay, the text was far too technical for a general reader.A few weeks later he showed me a revision, much improved. Eventually, he decided to place it with a mass market publisher rather than a university press. Bantam published A Brief History ofTime in March 1988. Sales took off like a rocket, and it ranked as a bestseller for at least five years. The book’s impact on the popularization of science has been incalculable.56. What suggestion did the writer give to Stephen Hawking?A. Simplifying Superspace and Supergravity.B. Formulating a new theory of gravity.C. Writing a popular book on the nature of the universe.D. Revising a book based on a new theory.57. Which of the following was Stephen Hawking most concernedabout?A. Financial returns.B. Othercompetitors.C. Publishing houses.D. His family’slife insurance.58. The underlined word “thumbed” is closest in meaning to _______.A. praisedB. typedC. confirmedD. browsed59. The greatest contribution of the book A Brief History of Time lies in_______.A. bringing him overnight fame in the scientific worldB. keeping up the living standard of his familyC. making popular science available to the general publicD. creating the rocketing sales of a technical book(B)Conventional wisdom may tell you that a master’s degree fromHarvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job, whilethe same degree from the Wharton School of the University ofPennsylvania, US, means a possible career on Wall Street.It seems that the graduate school you go to somewhat decides future. And a recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA（Master of Business Administration）graduates at certain US schools and career prospects.To work at AmazonRoss School of Business（University of Michigan）Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms. And a large chunk of American’s employees are from Ross. Graduate Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, s ays the reason behind this is that Ross’s curriculum-related offerings, a problem-solving course for instance, are particularly well suited to Amazon.To work at McKinsey&CompanyKellogg School of Management（Northwestern）For an MBA, landing a job at Mckinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school over again. However, Kellogg graduates perform well in the fierce competition. The school’s MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms, which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year, a higher percentage than at Harvard（23 percent）and Stanford（16 percent）.To work at AppleFuqua School of Business（Duke）Silicon Valley hasn’t always welcomed MBAs. However, two of Apple’s top 10 executives come from Fuqua. Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the pass five years, and provided 42 internships for Duke students.To start your own companyHarvard Business SchoolThe extensive resources Harvard has devoted to its entrepreneurial offerings in recent years are starting to show real results. By many accounts, it has surpassed Stanford as the top entrepreneurial hot-bed in the US.60. Which university offers students a course on various approaches to difficulties at work?A. Kellogg School of Management.B. Ross School of Business.C. Harvard Business School.D. Fuqua School of Business.61. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Consulting companies favor MBA students from Kellogg.B. Stanford produces the greatest number of business leaders.C. To work at Apple, MBA graduates have an advantage.D. Wall Street employs more MBAs from top 10 than Amazon.62. If you want to work in the area of hi-tech electronic products, you may choose to study in _____.A. Wharton SchoolB. Kellogg School of ManagementC. Ross School of BusinessD. Fuqua School of Business(C)“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase,”George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars. “They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.”Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology.Present system for getting from Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs --- or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck （敬畏的）staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush’s proposal, which calls for“reprogramming”some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science --- the one aspect of space exploration that’s working really well.Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion（推进力）? If new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.63. What do Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?A. Instant value.B. Human inhabitance.C. Venture cost.D. Exploring spirit.64. Bush’s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except that ______.A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.B. American people’s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implementedC. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in AmericaD. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment65. Which cannot be concluded from the passage?A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.B. A Mars mission in turn promote the development of unmanned program.C. Bush’s proposal is based on three recent great achievements of space exploration.D. The achievements in place exploration show how well unmanned science has developed.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain America’s position as a technological leader.B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.C. Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won’t make great discoveries.Section CDirections：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Retro GamingThere’s no doubt that in today’s digital world, computer games are extremely sophisticated andcapable of creating virtual reality experiences that were unimaginable only a few years ago. So I am interested to see that the simplistic games that I grew up with, are making a revival. But Why?In the 1970s, the original place to play a computer game was at an arcade. Here, you and your mates could try out the new big names in games such as Space Invaders and Pacman. ___67___ And because of the technology involved, the gaming machines were too big to fit into your house.But in the 1980s and 90s, gaming arrived in our homes and people like me were addicted. The sound of beeping became a familiar sound emanating from bedrooms across the land! Names such as Tetris, Sonic and Street Fighter became popular language in the playground – and now they are being talked about – and played – again. One of the reasons is the low cost. The BBC spoke to gamer, Gemma Wood, who says that: ___68___ I understand that a lot of hard work has gone into the design etc., but how can anyone justify £50 to £60 for a game that you might not even enjoy?___69___ The graphics on old games may not compare with the detail and definition of modern games but they are fun and easy to use by children and adults alike. And of course, nostalgia plays its part. Some people want to relive their childhood while for others, it is a chance to show their children the computer games they grew up with.Technology journalist, KG Orphanides, says "it's important to recognize how well-designed many of those classic games are... the developers had so little space to work with – your average Sega Mega Drive or SNES cartridge had a maximum capacity of just 4mb–and limited graphics and sound capabilities. This compares to an average capacity of 40G in today's games. ___70___ This craze for using retro hardware and grabbing an old joystick is certainly catching on. And to persuade those of us who are not sure about downgrading the gaming experience, manufacturers such as Nintendo, are bringing back some of their older consoles in new style casing.Ⅳ. 71. 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.Every time there is a mass shooting, the debate surrounding guns tends to flare up in America. The abuse of guns has been a serious problem in the US all along, but why doesn’t the US government just dismiss owning guns privately?The right to own a gun and defend oneself is central to American society. As early as the 1600s, when the first Europeans set foot on the continent of North America, they had to face a lot of dangers. They could only rely on themselves. Therefore, guns played a significant role in self-defense. Guns were also important in America’s Independent War and the Civil War.Secondly, the American founding fathers believed that gun ownership was necessary for a truly free country. If the government distrusts the people and disarms them, then that government no longer represents the people. The Second Amendment to the US Constitution specifies that the American people cannot be deprived of the“right to keep and bear arms.”So the sale and purchase of firearms are legal in the United States according to law.The importance of guns is also derived from the role of hunting in American culture. In the nation’s early years, hunting was essential for food and shelter. Today, guns are a vital part of hunting, which remains very popular as both a sport and a way of life in many parts of the country. People spend time with friends, sharing the pleasure that the sport brings.For those reasons, when critics say guns mean violence, they miss a large part of the picture, and they misrepresent the complex nature of America’s diverse gun culture. Most people who own guns privately, are actually part of the gun culture. They have rational and thoughtful reasons toown and use guns.Ⅴ.

I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now! I’m in a hurry!”A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young lady driving a taxi!The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home. The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I started a conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”“Yes,madam, no problem.”“I guess you are well-educated.”“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”I could see her face in the rear view mirror (后视镜). She smiled and expressed her opinion. I was really amazed.Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic (感兴趣的) about driving since I was a child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction.

Here are the stories of a few of them.Michael Jordan (born 1963) is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, he himself admits thatit hasn’t been easy. In a famous ad vertisement for Nike, hesays, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I havelost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted（委托） to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I havefailed over and over and over again in my life. And that is whyI succeed.Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, and he was expelled （开除）from school. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress” Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) wa s one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War （美国南北战争）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous business that failed, he went bankrupt （破产）twiceand was defeated in 26 campaigns （竞选）for public office. Helater sai d, “My great concern is not whether you have failed,but whether you are content with your failure.”J.K. Rowling (born 1965) is the author of the hugelysuccessful Harry Potter books, and one of the richest womenin the world. But before publishing the books, she waspenniless, depressed and trying to raise a child on her own. Ina speech at Harvard in 2008, she said, “I had failed so greatly.After a short-lived marriage, I was jobless, a lone parent, andas poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without beinghomeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that Ihad had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usualstandard, I was the biggest failure I knew.”So you see, just keep going!88. How many times has Michael Jordan missed the game winning shot?.89. What happened to Albert Einstein in 1921?.90. Which did Abraham Lincoln care more about, whether he failed or how he faced with hisfailure?.91. J.K Rowling is one of the richest women in Britain, isn’t she?.92. What was J.K. Rowling’s life like before Harry Potter Books were published?.93. What do you think of failure? How do you overcome failure in your life? (Please give an example to explain).key：88.On 26 occasions89. He won the Noble Prize in physics.90. He cared about how he faced with his failure/how to face with his failure.91. Yes, she is.92.

Does this sound too good to be true? This offer from Gates is a hoax(骗局）. In fact,anyone with common knowledge in computers could tellwhether it is true. But that hasn’t stopped the hoax from spreading ac ross the internet like wildfire. Millions of internet users have sent this untrue message.The internet is full of hoaxes, lies and wrong information. They are passed through emails, discussion groups and official-looking websites. Although most of them have been made known to public what they are,it’s still hard to kill a “good hoax”. Most internet hoaxes are similar. They often meet the needs of basic human feelings, like fear, greed or pity for others. Most importantly, they often sound as if they could be possible.If you’ve ever been fooled by a hoax, you are certainly not alone. Several famous newspapers have reported information they got online, only to later learn it was only a hoax. Even public official can sometimes be fooled. The city officials in California learned from a website that Styrofoam(塑料泡沫）cups are made with a dangerous chemical, so they ordered that the cups should not be produced. They felt foolish, however, when they learned that chemical’s common name--water. Another hoax caused fear in Hong Kong. A website with the name of a famous newspaper reported that the government planned to order local people to stay in their homes for the reason of an unknown disease.As a result, worried people crowd the supermarket to buy daily product. Financial markets began to fall,too.It’s sometimes hard to know what’s real and what’s not.

My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part ye t, my dear?”I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes wel l up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder (肩膀).”I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry.

It was clear that he was a stray (流浪的) cat because he looked thin . Students would play with him after class and feed him all kinds of food. The school didn’t say anything about the cat for a long time.But one day, we were told that one of our fellow students had an infectious (传染性的) disease and that the cat was possibly the source（来源）. After that, we were not allowed to touch any stray animals on campus. The school started to make efforts to keep animals off campus as well.Since we were not allowed to feed the white cat, it was hard for him to find food on the street. He became all skin and bones. Though the rest of us couldn’t take care of the cat, a security guard at our school decided to take on the responsibility of caring for him. He took the cat to a vet for a health check. He also ________ and ________, as well as a small bed for him to sleep in. He made sure the cat was healthy and comfortable.It might seem like a small effort to some people.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Teenagers need to feel they belong. They will feel upset when they have to eat alone in the cafeteria. They are afraid of being a “loner” (独来独往的人).But actually, being a loner has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people. It doesn’t always mean being strange or disliked.In South Korea, there are more and more people who describe themselves as “honjok”. The word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok” (tribe). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being alone.In Japan, people have developed a strong loner culture for a couple of years. There are solo (单人的) karaoke bars and solo cafes. Ramen restaurants for solo diners are especially popular.Knowing that you are not alone in being alone may make you feel better. But more importantly, you can try to find advantages in being alone. First, it gives you time to look inside yourself. Second, it can make you focus on something else. “It’s h ard to feel lonely when you’re trying to practi s e a hobby.” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. What’s more, you may have fewer but stronger friendships – which have been linked to greater happiness.So instead of rushing to find someone to talk to or hang out with, you may want to have fun on your own.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for abicycle didn’t seem that strong, so we bought the most popular present for little girls, BabySitter’s Club dolls and a doll house.Then, out of our expectation, on December 23, Almie said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”. It was just too late. With all the details of preparing Christmas di nner and buying last minute gifts, how could we have time to select the “right bike” for our little girl?So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, ready for sleep in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.“If I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and write a note that she could trade (用…抵换) the clay model in for a real bike, what do you think?” her dad asked.“Well, for now, I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’, so I think she will like it.”So Almie’s dad spent the next four hours working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and thenote. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Smiling, I said, “Yes.”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could ne ver trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.

When clients ask us to find the right person for a new pan-European sales or management position, I start by asking themto (35)_______ the qualifications their ideal candidate would have. Most often they list the same qualities they would want for a domestic position, but with the (36)_______ requirement that the new manager be fluent enough in English, German and French to cope with faxes and email. It sometimes takes me hours to persuade clients that the linguistic(语⾔的) abilities they see as crucial are not enough.Of course, it’s far more difficult to (37)_______ candidates’ multiculturalism than it is to check their language skills --- but it’s also a far more important (38)_______ to success.

But when I interviewed him, he turned out to have no concept of the great pride Mexicans took in their culture, and moreover he was (40)_______ about Mexican restaurants and markets being dirty and unsafe.

CyclingSection B(A)In 1982, I had responsibility for Stephen Ha wking’s third academic book for the Press, Superspace and Supergravity. This was a messy collection of papers from a technical workshop on how to devise a new theory of gravity. While that book was in production, I suggested he try something easier: a popular book about the nature of the Universe, suitable for the general market.Stephen hesitated over my suggestion. He already had an international reputation as a brilliant theoretical physicist working on rotating black holes and theories of gravity. And he had concerns about financial matters: importantly, it was impossible for him to obtain any form of life insurance to protect his family in the event of his death or becoming totally dependent on nursing care. So, he took precious time out from his research to prepare the rough draft of a book.At the time, several bestselling physics authors had already published non-technical books on the early Universe and black holes. Stephen decided to write a more personal approach, by explaining his own research in cosmology and quantum theory.One afternoon, in the 1980s, he invited me to take a look at the first draft, but first he wanted to discuss cash. He told me he had spent considerable time away from his research, and that he expected advances and royalties(定⾦和版税) to be large. When I pressed him on the market that he foresaw, he insisted that it be on sale, up front, at all airport bookshops in the UK and the US. I told that was a tough call for a university press. Then I thumbed the typescript. To my dismay, the text was far too technical for a general reader.A few weeks later he showed me a revision, much improved. Eventually, he decided to place it with a mass market publisher rather than a university press. Bantam published A Brief History ofTime in March 1988. Sales took off like a rocket, and it ranked as a bestseller for at least five years. The book’s impact on the popularization of science has been incalculable.56.

The greatest contribution of the book A Brief History of Time lies in_______.A. bringing him overnight fame in the scientific worldB. keeping up the living standard of his familyC. making popular science available to the general publicD. creating the rocketing sales of a technical book(B)Conventional wisdom may tell you that a master’s degree fromHarvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job, whilethe same degree from the Wharton School of the University ofPennsylvania, US, means a possible career on Wall Street.It seems that the graduate school you go to somewhat decides future. And a recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA（Master of Business Administration）graduates at certain US schools and career prospects.To work at AmazonRoss School of Business（University of Michigan）Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms. And a large chunk of American’s employees are from Ross. Graduate Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, s ays the reason behind this is that Ross’s curriculum-related offerings, a problem-solving course for instance, are particularly well suited to Amazon.To work at McKinsey&CompanyKellogg School of Management（Northwestern）For an MBA, landing a job at Mckinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school over again. However, Kellogg graduates perform well in the fierce competition. The school’s MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms, which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year, a higher percentage than at Harvard（23 percent）and Stanford（16 percent）.To work at AppleFuqua School of Business（Duke）Silicon Valley hasn’t always welcomed MBAs. However, two of Apple’s top 10 executives come from Fuqua. Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the pass five years, and provided 42 internships for Duke students.To start your own companyHarvard Business SchoolThe extensive resources Harvard has devoted to its entrepreneurial offerings in recent years are starting to show real results. By many accounts, it has surpassed Stanford as the top entrepreneurial hot-bed in the US.60. Which university offers students a course on various approaches to difficulties at work?A. Kellogg School of Management.B. Ross School of Business.C. Harvard Business School.D. Fuqua School of Business.61. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Consulting companies favor MBA students from Kellogg.B. Stanford produces the greatest number of business leaders.C. To work at Apple, MBA graduates have an advantage.D. Wall Street employs more MBAs from top 10 than Amazon.62. If you want to work in the area of hi-tech electronic products, you may choose to study in _____.A. Wharton SchoolB. Kellogg School of ManagementC. Ross School of BusinessD. Fuqua School of Business(C)“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase,”George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars. “They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.”Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology.Present system for getting from Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs --- or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck （敬畏的）staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush’s proposal, which calls for“reprogramming”some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science --- the one aspect of space exploration that’s working really well.Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion（推进⼒）? If new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.63. What do Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?A. Instant value.B. Human inhabitance.C. Venture cost.D. Exploring spirit.64. Bush’s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except that ______.A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.B. American people’s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implementedC. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in AmericaD. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment65. Which cannot be concluded from the passage?A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.B. A Mars mission in turn promote the development of unmanned program.C. Bush’s proposal is based on three recent great achievements of space exploration.D. The achievements in place exploration show how well unmanned science has developed.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain America’s position as a technological leader.B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.C. Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won’t make great discoveries.Section CDirections：Read the passage carefully.

So I am interested to see that the simplistic games that I grew up with, are making a revival. But Why?In the 1970s, the original place to play a computer game was at an arcade. Here, you and your mates could try out the new big names in games such as Space Invaders and Pacman. ___67___ And because of the technology involved, the gaming machines were too big to fit into your house.But in the 1980s and 90s, gaming arrived in our homes and people like me were addicted. The sound of beeping became a familiar sound emanating from bedrooms across the land! Names such as Tetris, Sonic and Street Fighter became popular language in the playground – and now they are being talked about – and played – again. One of the reasons is the low cost. The BBC spoke to gamer, Gemma Wood, who says that: ___68___ I understand that a lot of hard work has gone into the design etc., but how can anyone justify ￡50 to ￡60 for a game that you might not even enjoy?___69___ The graphics on old games may not compare with the detail and definition of modern games but they are fun and easy to use by children and adults alike. And of course, nostalgia plays its part. Some people want to relive their childhood while for others, it is a chance to show their children the computer games they grew up with.Technology journalist, KG Orphanides, says "it's important to recognize how well-designed many of those classic games are... the developers had so little space to work with – your average Sega Mega Drive or SNES cartridge had a maximum capacity of just 4mb–and limited graphics and sound capabilities. This compares to an average capacity of 40G in today's games. ___70___ This craze for using retro hardware and grabbing an old joystick is certainly catching on. And to persuade those of us who are not sure about downgrading the gaming experience, manufacturers such as Nintendo, are bringing back some of their older consoles in new style casing.Ⅳ. 71. 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.Every time there is a mass shooting, the debate surrounding guns tends to flare up in America. The abuse of guns has been aserious problem in the US all along, but why doesn’t the US government just dismiss owning guns privately?The right to own a gun and defend oneself is central to American society. As early as the 1600s, when the first Europeans set foot on the continent of North America, they had to face a lot of dangers. They could only rely on themselves. Therefore, guns played a significant role in self-defense. Guns were also important in America’s Independent War and the Civil War. Secondly, the American founding fathers believed that gun ownership was necessary for a truly free country. If the government distrusts the people and disarms them, then that government no longer represents the people. The Second Amendment to the US Constitution specifies that the American people cannot be deprived of the“right to keep and bear arms.”So the sale and purchase of firearms are legal in the United States according to law.The importance of guns is also derived from the role of hunting in American culture. In the nation’s early years, hunting was essential for food and shelter. Today, guns are a vital part of hunting, which remains very popular as both a sport and a way of life in many parts of the country. People spend time with friends, sharing the pleasure that the sport brings.For those reasons, when critics say guns mean violence, they miss a large part of the picture, and they misrepresent the complex nature of America’s diverse gun culture. Most people who own guns privately, are actually part of the gun culture. They have rational and thoughtful reasons toown and use guns.Ⅴ.
