上海市静安区2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语模拟试题II. GrammarDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)You know what they say, marriage is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are gonna get. My wife and I had a "ferocious" argument the other night (21) _________ we were watching one episode of the latest season of a reality show called. See You Again. Basically, the show was about three couples [22] _________ (embark) on an 18-day vacation to try to work out their marital issues in the hope of saving their marriages. For them, it was really a make-it-or-break-it vacation.[23] _________ we both agreed on most men's incompetence in expressing their true feelings in any intimate relationship, my still beloved wife and I failed miserably to see eye to eye on reasons for that. She blamed it on men's upbringing while I thought it had more to do with the influence of outdated social norms and stereotypes on men.Our society [24] _________ (discourage) emotional expression in men for ages, telling them they can't shed a tear or show any vulnerability. These outdated ideas about what it means to be a man have messed them up big time. To me, it is no wonder that in the marriage market, the most common type available [25] _________ women is the silent but dominant type of men with the whole breadwinner and homemaker roles still [26] _________ (stick) in their heads. So when things don't go that way, of course, they will feel lost."Intimidated" by my rigorous logic, my wife purposefully shifted the focus of her argument to [27] _________ we two should raise our son and what I could have done better if I had taken her advice seriously.However, things started to get much [28] _________ (personal) when both of us seemed to run out of witty arguments. Realizing this disagreement would lead us nowhere, I wasted no time apologizing to her for my ill-considered words with dignity and offered to clean the plates piling up in the sink ([29] _________ _________ I cooked dinner that night!) Faced with an offer she couldn't refuse, my wife kindly reminded me [30] _________ (not forget) to dry the towel when I was done. Apology accepted, hence case closed.At the end of the day, I exhibited my vulnerability as requested and she showed her mercy as expected. We just agreed to disagree and lived happily ever after.(B)Back then, I was a very nervous new father. I didn't know [31] _________ _________ to feed my son, how hard to pat his back to burp him, or whether it was okay to let him sleep as long as be wants. I bought myself lots of books about parenting, only [32] _________ (find) that there were so many new things to learn that I inevitably begun to feel overwhelmed.My friend May, a soon-to-be mother herself, [33] _________ (sense) my anxiety and, to calm me down, texted me one night saying, "No book can be a substitute for your own sensitive contemplation and careful observation. Books can be [34] _________ small additional value, but no more. Just listen to your son and he'll teach you how to be a father."That struck me a lot because I grew up in a time when most of the parents, including my own, believed that children [35] _________ be seen and not heard. Naturally, I thought he was nothing and only grownups were worth something. The idea [36] _________ children do not know anything but will do so, and are not capable of doing anything but will learn, made me live in a permanent state of expectation. For the sake of tomorrow, I failed to respect [37] _________ might amuse, sadden, amaze, anger, and interest him today. For the sake of tomorrow, I stole years of his life.Things changed for me when I got down on my knees, waiting for my son to open up. Once I came down to his level, I found I didn't even [38] _________ _________ ask questions. I just listened. He granted me permission to gaze into his pockets to see all his cherished collections: bird's feathers, colored stones and oddly-shaped leaves. He also discussed with me about his grand plan to travel to the South Pole with the girl in his class [39] _________ happened to want to marry him. We both knew our relationship was built on mutual respect and trust.Now, seven years later after my son's birth, I still marvel at May's simple wisdom. Being there listening to my son has not only rescued [40] _________ from "those best parenting books one cannot afford to miss" but also from over-evaluating and over-obsessing about him. Simply put, my son has taught me to be a father. I have affection for what he is today and respect for what he can become in the future. All I need to do is to listen.III. VocabularyDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need in each passage.(A)A. advantageousB. programmingC. fashionD. fueled AB. advancedAC. sacrifice AD. capped BC. habitually BD. appetite CD. likelihoodABC. unnecessarilyEating a calorie-rich diet brought us humans a great advantage: time. We spent less of the day obtaining food. We saved countless hours of needless chewing. Instead, we invested time in doing the things that make us human: we started to [41] _________ tools, erect structures, share stories, create myths and play games.Calories made humanity possible. Calories are what [42] _________ our big brains. Our calorie-rich diet didn't reinforce the compulsion to eat, it released us from a food-gripped existence. Just because we require calories does not mean our basic [43] _________ compels us to over-consume them, for the same reason that requiring oxygen does not compel us to perpetually hyperventilate. Yes, it may be [44] _________ to carry extra calories in time of famine, but this assumes an overly simplistic view of our evolutionary past.Out there in nature, carrying extra body weight brings serious, even deadly, disadvantages. To the evolving primate, greater body mess means slower acceleration and a(n) [45] _________ in the ability to change speed and direction quickly. Back when we were prey - when our ancestors were [46] _________ eaten by big cats, pythons and even eagles - our ability to nimbly start, stop and turn was crucial for survival. To a predator, a fat human was not only easier to spot and easier to catch, it made for a bigger, better meal. To the prey we hunted, a fat human was easier to evade and outrun. Carrying too much fat also increases the [47] _________ of injury and death due to the forces and loads involved in maintaining a larger body. To put it in the simple arithmetic of evolutionary fitness, being [48] _________ fat didn't increases an individual's chances of passing on their genes. It actually reduced them.As we became more [49] _________ there were even more reasons to refrain from overindulgence. Food had to be shared with other members of the tribe, then the village, then the town, especially with children, whose dependence on adults for resources lasts an eternity compared with other species.Otherwise, the human species would have died off long ago, if we really were slaves to a never-ceasing [50] _________ for calories.All of these have left us with the following paradox: Why were humans generally able to resist vastly over-consuming calories up until about fifty years ago?Quoted from Mark Schatzker's The End of Craving(B)A. nestingB. signalsC. accessibleD. overnight AB. decisively AC. illiteratesAD. literally BC. unaware BD. motivated CD. accused ABC. terrifying The good news is that today's teenagers are greedy readers and productive writers. The bad news is that what they are reading and writing are text messages.It's an unmissable trend. Even if you don't have teenage kids, you'll still see other people's offspring wandering around, their eyes averted, tapping away, totally [51] _________ of their surroundings. Take a group of teenagers to see the eight wonders of the world. Chances are that they'll [52] _________ be texting all the way, even if it means missing all those awe-inspiring moments. Show a teenager Jan Vermeer's The Girl with a Pearl Earring. You might get a quick glance before a buzz [53] _________ the arrival of the latest SMS.Now before I am [54] _________ of throwing stones in a glass house, let me confess. I probably send about 50 texts a day, and I receive what seem like 200. But there is difference, I also read books. It's a quaint old habit I picked up as a kid, in the days before cellphones began [55] _________ in the palms of the young.According to a survey carried about in 2019, half of today's teenagers don't read books except when they're made to. What is more [56] _________ to me as a high school teacher is the fact that almost two-thirds of high school freshmen read for pleasure for less than an hour per week. Nearly half of seniors don't read for pleasure at all.Why does this matter? Because, to some extent, this texting craze can and will produce a large number of cultural [57] _________ who are cut off from the civilization of their ancestors if we don't take some necessary measures.So how can we encourage our teenagers to read books? Whether in the classroom or at home, one of the best ways to promote reading is by reading together. Another way to encourage reading is to helpteenagers set a goal to read a certain number of books or read books from a certain genre. This will help them stay focused and [58] _________ to read. For instance, if your child loves playing football, read the storybook related to football. Or if your child loves going on walks, take along some picture books to read along the way. By making reading more [59] _________ and fun, we can foster a love of reading in them.But don't expect children to fall in love with reading [60] _________. When it comes to reading, trust the process.IV. ClozeDirections: 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.(A)Facing AI extinctionIn a recent White House press conference, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn't suppress her laughter at the question: Is it "crazy" to worry that "literally everyone on Earth will die" due to artificial intelligence? [61] _________, the answer is no.While AI pioneer such as Alan Turing cautioned that we should expect "machines to take control", many contemporary researchers [62] _________ this concern. In an area of unprecedented growth in AI abilities, why aren't more expects weighing in?Before the deep-learning revolution in 2012, I didn't think human-level AI would emerge in my lifetime. I was familiar with arguments that AI systems would insatiably seek power and resist shutdown -- and obvious [63] _________ to humanity if it were to occur. But I also figured researchers must have good reasons not to be worried about human [64] _________ risk (x-risk) from AI.Yet after 10 years in the field, I believe the main reasons are actually cultural and historical. By 2012, after several hype cycles that didn't pan out, most AI researchers had stopped asking 'what if we succeed at replicating human intelligence", [65] _________ their ambitions to specific tasks like autonomous driving.When concerns resurfaced outside their community, researchers were to quick to dismiss outsiders as [66] _________ and their worries as science fiction. But in my experience, AI researchers are themselves often ignorant of arguments for AI x-risk.One basic argument is by analogy: humans' [67] _________ abilities allowed us to out-compete other species for resources, leading to many extinctions. AI systems could likewise deprive us of the resources we need for our survival. Less [68] _________, AI could displace humans economically and, through its powers of manipulation, politically.But wouldn't it be humans wielding AIs as tools who end up in control? Not necessarily. Many people might choose to deploy a system with a 99 per cent chance of making them phenomenally rich and powerful, even if it had a 1 per cent chance of [69] _________ their control and killing everyone.Because no safe experiment can definitively tell us whether an AI system will actually kill everyone, such concerns are often dismissed as unscientific. But this isn't an excuse for ignoring the risk. It just means society needs to reason about it in the same way as other complex social issues. Researchers also emphasize the difficulty of predicting when AI might [70] _________ human intelligence, but this is an argument for caution, not complacency.Attitudes are changing, but not quickly enough. AI x-risk is admittedly more [71] _________ than important social issues with present-day AI, like bias and misinformation, but the basic solution is the same: regulation. A robust public discussion is long overdue. By refusing to engage, some AI researchers are neglecting [72] _________ responsibilities and betraying public trust.Big tech sponsors AI ethics research when it doesn't hurt the bottom line. But it is also lobbying to exclude general-purpose AI from E. U. regulation. Concerned researchers recently called for a(n) [73]_________ in developing bigger AI models to allow society to catch up. Critics say this isn't politically realistic, but problems like AI x-risk won't [74] _________ just because they are politically inconvenient.This brings us to the ugliest reason researchers may dismiss AI x-risk: funding. Essentially every researcher (myself included) has received funding from big tech. At some point, society may stop believing reassurances from people with such strong conflicts of [75] _________ and conclude, as I have, that their dismissal betrays wishful thinking rather than good counterarguments.61.

If you're anything like me, these probes into your [76] _________ beliefs will leave you a mumbling mess. I have read enough books and academic essays on feminism to [77] _________ a fairly substantial library, and yet as soon as I'm asked to sum it up I started sweating and string together a few [78] _________ sentences before loudly shouting 'because Beyonce' and running to get another drink.To save you from this [79] _________ fate I have put together a collection of the feminist comebacks I wish I'd thought of in the moment. Rip out this page, keep it in your pocket and whip it out next time you're stuck with a drunk man at a party. Because it will come into [80] _________.WHAT EVEN IS 'FEMINISM?'Great question! It's actually something I'm really passionate about. Feminism is a centuries-old social movement fighting for the [81] _________ of the sexes. Inter-sectional feminists believe that all people are [82] _________ to the same rights, and they fight to end all discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, ethnicity, religion or lifestyle.THIS FEMINISM IS POLITICAL [83] _________ GOND MAD! CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE?...at question! Thanks for checking! You're mistaken. I love jokes. I've got one for you ...Knock, knock!Who's there?Annie.Annie who?Annie thing you can do I can do for 18.4% less pay!Ha, ha, ha. But, jokes aside, political correctness gets a bad rap（恶评）, but all it really [84]_________ is minority groups asking that they not feel marginalized and hurt by everyday conversation or the media. I love comedy - in fact it is one of my favourite things. But I'm afraid that jokes that offend women, people of colour, disabled people, trans people or others in the LGBTQ community just aren't [85] _________ to me at all. Let's chat when you come up with some better material, preferably something that doesn't offend my friends!I'M A MAN AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE ALL THIS FEMINISM IS MAN-HATING. CAN MEN BE FEMINISTS?Great questions! I'm sorry that a(n) [86] _________ of the feminist movement in the mainstream media has led you to feel this way. Of course men can be feminists.The sad fact is that we've all been socialized from birth to accept sexism as a part of life and, as a result, women can actually be just as [87] _________ as men. Institutionalized sexism hurts men as well as women. It tells men that they aren't allowed to show [88] _________, that they have to be successful and powerful in order to succeed, and that they aren't allowed to like the colour pink!Feminism is the fight to [89] _________ all these things and also to ensure that women are given fundamental human rights like education and reproductive freedom. Feminists truly believe that if we lived in a world without gender-based oppression, we'd all be so much happier. So even if you're only joining for purely [90] _________ reasons, we'd love to have you as a part of the gang!Quoted from Scarlett Curtis' Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies76.

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)Harry woke at five o'clock the next morning and was too excited and nervous to go back to sleep. He got up and pulled on his jeans because he didn't want to walk into the station in his wizard's robes - he'd change on the train. He checked his Hogwarts list again to make sure he had everything he needed, saw that Hedwig was safely shut in her cage and paced the room, waiting for the Dursleys to get up. Two hours later, Harry's huge, heavy truck had been loaded into the Dursley's car, Aunt Petunia had talked Dudley into sitting next to Harry and they had set off.They reached Kind's Cross at half past ten. Uncle Vernon dumped Harry's trunk on to a trolley and wheeling it into the station for him. Harry thought this was strangely kind until Uncle Vernon stopped dead, facing the platforms with a nasty grin on his face.'Well, there you are, boy. Platform nine -- platform ten. Your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they don't seem to have built it yet, do they?'He was quite right, of course. There was a big plastic number nine over one platform and a big plastic number ten over the one next to it, and in the middle, nothing at all.'Have a good term,' said Uncle Vernon with an even nastier smile. He left without another word. Harry turned and saw the Dursleys drive away. All three of them were laughing. Harry's mouth wentrather dry. What on earth was he going to do? He was starting to attract a lot of funny looks, because of Hedwig. He'd have to ask someone.He stopped a passing guard, but didn't dare mention platform nine and three-quarters. The guard had never heard of Hogwarts and when Harry couldn't even tell him what part of the country it was in, he started to get annoyed, as though Harry was being stupid on purpose. Getting desperate, Harry asked for the train that left at eleven o'clock, but the guard said there wasn't one. In the end the guard strode away, muttering about time-wasters. Harry was now trying hard not to panic. According to the large clock over the arrival boards, he had ten minutes left to get on the train to Hogwarts and he had no idea how to do it; he was stranded in the middle of a station with a trunk he could hardly lift, a pocket full of wizard money and a large owl.Hagrid must have forgotten to tell him something you had to do, liking tapping the third brick on the left to get into Diagon Alley. He wondered if he should get out his wand and start tapping the ticket box between platforms nine and ten.Quoted from JK. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone91. Harry woke up so early in the morning probably because he _________.A. wanted to try on his new jeansB. needed to put Hedwig back in her cageC. was asked to get prepared beforehandD. looked forward to his new life of Hogwarts92. The word "panic" in the last but one paragraph might mean "_________".A. rageB. fearC. regretD. complain93. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Uncle Vernon had always treated Harry kindly and cared very much for him.B. Harry arrived at the train station an hour before the scheduled departure time.C. The Dursleys were happy to get rid of Harry and see him stuck in embarrassment.D. Harry completely forgot how to find the way to Platform nine and three-quarters.(B)Have you ever heard someone describe themselves an an INTJ or an ESTP and wondered what those cryptic-sounding letters could mean? What these people are referring to is their personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-report inventory designed to identify aperson's personality type, strengths, and preferences. The questionnaire was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs based on their work with Carl Jung's theory of personality types. Today, the MBTI inventory is one of the most widely used psychological instruments in the world.Based on the answers to the questions, people are identified as having one of 16 personality types. No one personality type is "best" or "better" than another. It isn't a tool designed to look for dysfunction or abnormality. Instead, its goal is to allow people to further explore and understand their own personalities including their strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences, and compatibility with other people. The questionnaire itself is made up of four different scales.1. Are you outwardly or inwardly focused? Extraversion / IntroversionExtroverts are energized by people, enjoy a variety of masks, a quick pace, and good at multitasking while introverts often like working alone or in small groups, prefer a more deliberate pace, and like to focus on one task at a time.2. How do you prefer to take in information? Sensing / IntuitionSensors are realistic people who like to focus on the facts and details, and apply common sense and past experience to figure out practical solutions to problems while intuitives prefer to focus on possibilities and the big picture, easily see patterns and dseek creative solutions to problem.3. How do you prefer to make decision? Thinking / FeelingThinkers tend to make decisions using logical analysis, objectively weigh pros and cons, and value honesty, consistency, and fairness while feelers tend to be sensitive and cooperative, and decide based on their own personal values and how others will be affected by their actions.4. How do you prefer to live your outer life? Judging / PerceivingJudgers tend to be organized prepared, like to make and stick to plans, and are comfortable following most rules while perceivers prefer to keep their options open, like to be able to act spontaneously, and like to be flexible with making plans.94. The purpose of MBTI is to help people _________ .A. better understand their unique featuresB. find a topic to socialize with othersC. easily put themselves in a fixed categoryD. self-diagnose mental health issues95. According to the passage, we can infer that _________.A. Carl Jung is the co-founder of MBTI testB. MBTI can be used in career planningC. Some personality types are better than othersD. introverts may feel boosted at a party96. Suppose Eric is an ISFP, his ideal occupation might be a(n) _________.A. entrepreneurB. accountantC. programmerD. writer97. This passage might be taken from a _________.A. psychology textbookB. popular magazineC. news releaseD. business report(C)We all know the importance of education. Everyone aspires to have a good one, but its quality and availability is not the same for all. This situation changes as social, economic and political conditions change and technological development provides new benefits and threats.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.One threat is the widening wealth gap, with more intense pockets of extreme privilege and deprivation. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools aimed to offer everyone equal access to education.Another trend is the rising affluence in Asia. It's suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in China and India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question "What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools?"Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop a good life for themselves. But that can be a challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: "How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world? Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values?"Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who's going to pay for it all? The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be replicated by machines? And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet?These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest children who don't even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.。

However, there are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they oftendress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people‟s low opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed. A cyclist must drive as if everybody around him wanted to kill him. He must pay careful attention to his driving. From that point of view, a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car.11.What should motorcyclists be protected from when they are on the road?(D)12.Why are motorcyclists looks less respectable than those who ride in cars?(B)13.What are the things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes?(A) Question 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because of old age. Last week, he was walking near his home when a thunder-storm approached. He took shelter under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed. A short time later, he awoke; his legs couldn‟t move and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lighting, but they are unable to explain the reason. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of a hard blow in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another blow.14.How long was Robert blind?(B)15.What was the matter with Robert after he was struck by lightning?(A)16.What might be the possible explanation to Robert‟s incident?(C)Section CDirections: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations.

All objects in this room—if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”Then she turned to Tom, kissed him, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, Tom noticed that something in his mood had changed. He realized he had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later when Peterson called again, he was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.Questions:11.Why did Tom shout at the telephone?12.What did Tom‟s wife do after she heard his shouting?13.What made Tom realize his own problem?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.A: One thing that I never really got used to when I was travelling in Asia was the way people make noise when they drink soup. I think it is because they want to show they are reallyenjoying the food. So they make a lot of noise. It always bothered me. I guess it is because my parents spent years when I was a kid telling me not to make noise while I was eating.B: When I stayed in Spain, I was surprised how late people eat in the evening. When you are invited to dinner, you are asked to come around 9 p.m. And usually, you don't start dinner until 10.And people stay terribly late, sometimes until 2 in the morning, or even later. I found it quite difficult. How does one get up and go to work or school the next day after eating and drinking until 3 in the morning?C: I toured in the Middle East for a while, and when I went out, I had to obey the local custom of wearing something over my head, and wearing a dress that covers my whole body. At first, I found it somewhat annoying, but after a while, I got used to it and even started to like it. You feel really secure and also you don't have to worry about what to wear all the time.Questions:14.What are these three speakers talking about in common?15.Where was the man when he found people have supper too late?16.How did the woman feel about ways of wearing in the Middle East?Section CDirections: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you hear. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hi, can I help you?M: Yes, I'd like a room for the night, please. The sign outside says you have vacancies.W: Yes, but only a couple. I guess nobody wants to drive in such stormy weather. M: I surely don't. How much are the rooms?W: They are $50 a night. M: That's fine.W: I can give you Room 14. It is right beside the coffee shop. I just need you to sign the register.M: There you go. I am awfully hungry. Is the coffee shop still open?W: Yes, it is open until nine o'clock. If you want anything after that, there are a couple of selling machines for soft drinks, chocolate bars — things like that.M: Thank you. By the way, is there a television in the room?W: Yes, we've got cable TV.M: Oh, that's great.W: Well, here is your key. If you need anything else, more towels or anything, the office is open until midnight.M: OK. Thanks again.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.M: This is a great apartment.W: I think so. Excuse me, do I know you?M: No, I am Adam. I came with Carl. I don't really know anyone here. Carl's told me about most of his friends, but I can't match the names with the faces.W: Well, let's see. OK, do you see that woman in the pink shirt?M: Yeah.W: That's Diane. She is the one who is moving to England next week. The party is for her.M: OK. And who is that guy?W: Which one?M: The one in the green chair?W: That's Cliff. He works in a bank.M: Oh! Is he the man who owns the racehorses?。

It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing(缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designstoo. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her pany grow. She won the second prize in the end.

SPEAR & JACKSON TROWEL73. The underlined word workhorse is closest in meaning with ______.A. makerB. laborerC. speakerD. digger(C)American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more ofthe Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex,” said Prof McCarthy."Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals."74. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative75. The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. paid attention toB. related toC. put pressure onD. counted on76. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansB. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are differentC. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male ratsD. discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal munication77. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Tests on humans and ratsB. Why women are the talkative sexC. Sex differences in Foxp2 proteinD. Foxp2 protein determines oral abilitySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they' 11 change America. Rightly so. But selfishly. I' m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world' s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we' re all hot-tempered single mothers who can' t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can' t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic （酗酒的）mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It won't be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they' d like to see Michelle bring to the White House——mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone——an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise（沉着）. Confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that' s been around for fartoo long. (No more than 10 words)78. Why dose Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author？79. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author？80. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady？81. What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do？第II卷 (共45分)I.

Through photosynthesis(光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh onygon. They 31 (believe) to remove toxin((毒素) from the air we breathe--but is this true?One famous NASA experiment 32 (publish) in 1989 has found indoor plants can clean the air by removing pollutants 33 cause cancer. Later research has found soil micro-organisms in the potted plant also 34 (play) a part in cleaning indoor air.Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. 35 , however, say the evidence that plants can effectively accomplish this feat(功绩) is far from conclusive."There are no definitive studies to show that 36 (have) indoor plants can significantly increase the air quality in your home," According to Luz Claudio, a professor of environmental medicine and public health. "There's no question that plants are capable of removing volatile(易挥发的) chemical toxins from the air under laboratory conditions," says Claudio. But in your home or office ce, the idea that putting a few plants together 37 purify your air doesn't have much hard science to support it.Most research efforts so far, including the NASA study, placed indoor plants in small, sealedenvironments to assess how much air-purifying power they have. "But those studies aren't really applicable to what happens in house, 38 in many cases ,the air in your home completely turms over -- that is, exchanges places with outdoor air - once every hour. In most instances, air exchange with the outside has a 39 (great) effect on indoor air quality than plants." says Stanley Kays, a professor of horticulture(园艺学).Disappointed as many people may be by what Kays said, the professor also believes 40 house plants are beneficial. Studies have shown plants can knock out stress and make people feel happier. More research shows spending time around nature has a positive effect on a person's mood and energy levels.Section C(10分)Directions: After reading the passage below, fil in each blank with a proper word given in the box Each word can be used only ance.Note that there is one more word than you need.A.ratherB. commentsC. disant D fiction E. blank F. sufferedG. stared H. absolutely I. reflect J. comfort K. publishedWhen Michael was young, he was sensitive and shy. It was a huge task for him to talk to a stranger or go downstairs to the shops. But the boy who lived in a 41 village 30 kilometers away from the city center found great pleasure in writing. He often drank a cup of coffee on a Saturday afternoon, starting with a 42 sheet of paper. "I'm interested in many kinds of writing," he said, "from detective story to science 43 from love story to youth novel. It's really a pleasure to use what you write 44 than what you say to express yourself."Michael found his talent for writing when he was 15. At that time, he was disliked by teachers for his bad academic performance and 45 from peer pressure. He liked to express himself in his diary. "No one was willing to talk to me then," he recalled. "Sometimes they just 46 at if I had done something wrong. Actually I was at a What to do."Then he quitted school and started writing. The young teenager wrote 10 pieces of writing in one year, most of which were 47 on the Intemet.Soon his works were recognized by a lot of Intemet critics and received many positive 48from the netizens. Two years later, he was awarded the most popular webwriter by Sina Some readers say Michael's novels 49 his outstanding ability to explore the emotions of contemporary people, and his novels are a great 50 to people who are struggling in the society.III. Reading ComprehensionSecton A(15分)Directions: 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.Should you listen to music when you work? Do you like to listen to music when you work? Ask this question at a party, and you'll probably get _51__ responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting and cannot work 52 with music playing in the background.Interestingly enough our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just 53 on what sort of work you're doing. In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) 54 task--searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter "a" and a more difficult task-memorizing word pairs and 55 word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, 56 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings 57 from our study.We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to 58 music performed best on the easy task. On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.How should we 59 these findings? We suggest that people haye limited mental resources from which both 60 and tasks can draw.We can become 61 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and 62 when these resources are used up.Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easytasks, where demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less 63 during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra 64 we need to overcome the monotony(单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much. So best 65 should appear when we strike "sweet spot", which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.51.A.fixed B.similar C.various D.positive52. A.effectively B. immediately C.exactly D.happily53. A.depends B. focuses C.carries D.takes54.A. umpleasant B.familiar C.impossible D.easy55. A.matching B.realizing C.suggesting D.creating56.A.until B.while C.since D.when57.A.faded B.appeared C.survived D.responded58.A. dull B. reliable C.necessary plex59.A.make up for B.make out C.make use of D.make up60.A.music B.work C.study D.culture61.A.surprised B.bored C.afraid D.proud62.A.interested B. distracted C.attracted D worried63.A.disgusted B. embarrassed C.frightened D. engaged64.A. obstacle B.push C.opportunity D.rule65.A. action B.program C.performance D.problemSection B(22)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Every day when Glen Oliver orders his moming coffee at the drive--through window of a local cafe, he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they're not already having one.Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was publisbed by a news website in November.

The writer said that while he was at the drive--through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day."I wondered why someone would buy breakfast for a stranger for no reason," said the writer."Why me?Why today? If I were a religious man, I would take this as a sign.This random act of kindness was directed at me on this day for a purpose."When the writer arrived home, he couldn't hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. "I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house."The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for others every day. "To the nice man in the SUV, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please know your kind gesture has truly saved a life, he said."On Fuly 18,2017, I had the greatest day."66.

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory edacation, especially globalisation and better communications, in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, nish and Chinese are taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction,with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanecois Mexico (150) .Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.73.What can we infer about langunge in hunter-gatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected74.Which of the following best explains"dominant"underlined in paragraph 2?A complex B.advanced. C. powerful. D. modern.75,How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 6,800B. About 3,400C. About 2,400D. About 1,20076. What is the main idea of the text?A. New langusges will be created.B.People’s lifestyles are reflected in languagesC. Human development results in fewer languagesD. Geography determines language evolution.Section C(8分)Directlons: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given inthe bar.Boch oan be wsed onby Nore that there are hwo more than you need.A.Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instend.D. Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.Tips for Cooking on a Tight SeheduleFrom my experience,there are three main reasons why poople don't cook more often: ability, money and time. 77 Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials ready? 78Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 79 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.80 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes(食谱) that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.TV.TranstationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets81.结果，吉姆的作文因为其创造力与想象力得到了表扬。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Learning in ChinaWe can always hear voices comparing the educational systems in China and the US. It’s true that there exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse (25) ______ having a passive attitude toward studying in China.When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard, and that we didn’t do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. I was not patient enough and I couldn’t help but (26)______(cry) to my mom. In short, I (27) ______ not face the changes and the pressure.After a long talk with my mother, I realized that though high school life in China is (28) ______ (hard), it can give us more. The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition before we step into society, which gives us a (29) ______ (determine) heart and teaches us to step forward (30) ______ ______ ______ the reality is. It’s like climbing a mountain, which might make you dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there waiting for you as long as you are strong enough (31) ______ (take) one more step.Meanwhile, an easy life is not always good for us. Even some of my American friends call (32)______ “lazy Americans”, because the school in the US is not always easy. When they go to college, they also need to work very hard. We complain mainly because we can’t see the whole picture.Sometimes we just simply listen to others’ words without thinking about (33) ______they’re true. We can’t always complain. Instead, we all need to und erstand that success takes efforts and tears.(B)Science – A way of ThinkingMany scientists, from their earlier work, have enough knowledge to make good guess as to the solution to a problem which (34) ______(work) on. In making new discoveries, they may use the trial-and-error method, they may draw on past experiences, or they may try to find out (35) ______others have discovered. They may design new investigations and new ways of testing their results. Scientists have to train themselves to use their brains efficiently.For example, when Thomas A. Edison was trying to make an electric lamp, he needed the only substance inside the bulb (36) ______would glow brightly without burning up quickly. He tried more than one thousand times (37) ______he found the exact substance he could use. After he had experimented for a long time, someone asked Mr. Edison whether he was discouraged at the waste of time. He replied, “I have not been wasting time. I (38)______ (find) one thousand materials that won’t work. Now I can look for others.” Edison’s statement is very important. Above all, scientists demand to know when and where they are wrong. A good question to ask in science is not “Am I right?” but “Am I wrong?”.Scientists spend many years of study (39) ______ (train) themselves to use their brains and the tools of investigation. They also use each other’s work. Isaac Newton, (40) who is ______ unique British scientist, said he saw further than others because he stood on the shoulders of giants.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each wordGrammar is universal and plays a vital part in every language. So the question which has puzzled many linguists is: who created grammar?In order to answer the question of how complex languages are ＿41＿ formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. To find out how grammar is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language’s creation, documenting its ＿42＿. At first, it seems that this question is impossible to answer. Amazingly, this is possible.Some of the most recent languages ＿43＿ due to the Atlantic slave trade, when slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under the colonizer’s ＿44＿. Since they had no opportunity t o learn each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin (混杂语). Pidgins are strings of words ＿45＿ from the language of the landowner. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not ＿46＿ copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they ＿47＿ their words to create a new language.Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a government introduced schools for the deaf. Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, which was basically a pidgin. Each child used the signs differently, and there was no ＿48＿ grammar. However, when this inventive sign system was already around, a quite different sign language was developed.Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate (天生的) grammatical machinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make ＿49＿ of the world around them. Their minds can serve to create ＿50＿, complex structures, even when there is no existing grammar for them to copy.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed lau ghter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But ＿51＿ some claims to the contrary, laughing quietly probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does ＿52＿ short-term changes in the activity of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to ＿53＿, a good laugh is unlikely to have ＿54＿ benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does.＿55＿, instead of stretching muscles tightly to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the ＿56＿. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter57＿ muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the noisy laugh dies down.Such bodily reaction might imaginably help moderate the effects of psychological stress. After all, the act of laughing probably does give rise to other types of ＿58＿feedback that improve an individual’s emotional state. ＿59＿ 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 flow.Although sadness also comes before tears, evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular ＿60＿. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of würzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to ＿61＿ a pen either with their teeth –thereby creating an artificial smile – or with their lips, which would cause a(n) ＿62＿ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles ＿63＿ more cheerfully to funny cartoons than didthose whose mouths were contracted in a frown, ＿64＿ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. ＿65＿, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.51.

CoincidentallySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A).Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The findings may impact how we understandthe formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.67. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.68. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.69. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groups(B).CityCabA Member of COMFORT DELGROComfortable airport & city transfers:MaxiCab (seats 6 passengers)Booking Hotline: +65 6542 8297… or book at the Airport Shuttle counter at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2MaxiCab Service RatesTransfer to Airport/other destination $35Hourly Service (per hour – minimum 2hours)$35Applicable additional charges:-- Between midnight to 6 am, an additional $12 per transfer or per hour-- For en-route stop to final destination, an additional $5 per stopapply otherwise $20-- Administrative charges of 10% of total fare for all Credit Card payments Personalized tours: Cabby tour highlightsSingapore Tour 1: Singapore Lifestyle ExperienceCabby Tour Tour 2: City & Cultural Experience✓Conducted by licensed taxi tourist guides approved by the Singapore Tourism Board Tour 3: Eastern Heartland Experience Tour 4: Western Heartland Experience✓Exclusive private tours in 6-seater MaxiCabs, 4-seater Mercedes LimoCabs and normal cabs Tour 5: Singapore Round Island Tour Tour 6: Farm Visits✓Flexible pick-up times and locations Tour 7: Singapore by Night Tour✓Extension of additional attractions and restaurants upon request Tour 8: Local Favorite Food & Attractions.sg70.

But here’s the problem: I’m cheap, and the iPad’s not. If I’m going to fork over at least $499 for a new device, I want to try it out and make sure it’s not just a larger, sh inier version of my iPhone.But if I went to my local Apple Store, I’d get to spend only a few minutes testing out the machine. I wanted more time than that, so I rented one for $15 a day from a guy on SnapGoods.The Internet start-up in Brooklyn runs on simple reasoning: there are people who want to borrow stuff – camping equipment, food processors, robot vacuums, etc. –and there are people who have stuff they want to lend. SnapGoods helps these two groups connect over the Web. SnapGoods is one of many sites that have sprung up to facilitate offline sharing. Some sites have a narrow, obvious focus (like ) while others are more obscure (Neighborhood Fruit helps people share what’s growing in their yards or find fruit trees on public land). But regardless of whether the sharing is free or involves a fee, these transactions often come with a stick-it-to-the-man attitude. “Borrow these things from your neighbors,” reads one earnest request on , “The owner-ship has SAILED!”All of these sites are encouraging something academics call collaborative consumption – in other words, peer-to-peer sharing or renting. Renting something you don’t need to use very often makes a lot more sense than buying it and letting it collect dust in you r garage. There’s a green aspect as well, since sharing helps cut down on overall use of resources. But one of collaborative consumption’s most surprising benefits turns out to be social. In an era when families are scattered around the country and we may not know the people down the street from us, sharing things –even with strangers we’ve just met online – allows us to make meaningful connections.“This isn’t just about saving the environment or saving a dollar,” says SnapGoods CEO Ron Williams, who cam e up with the idea after renting a stranger’s motorcycle via Craigslist. “This is about saving yourself by making informed consumer decisions.”I’m not sure if I got a thrill when I borrowed Goodwin’s iPad, but it did feel good to make a connection. In the end, though, I decided not to purchase an iPad. Sorry, Steve Jobs. I’m just not that into owning things anymore.74. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the author’s renting an iPad instead of buying one?A. The iPad is expensive and the author wants to make sure an iPad is worthy.B. He has already got an iPhone and expects to test the better quality of iPad.C. The local Apple Store only offters limited time to test out the machine.D. The iPad is so expensive that he cannot afford it.75. SnapGoods is a website which________.A. facilitates online sharingB. helps people borrow things from their neighborsC. connects borrowers and lenders for stuff sharingD. sells iPad online76. What is Ron Williams’ attitude towards collaborati ve consumption?A. FavorableB. CriticalC. IndifferentD. Not known77. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. SnapGoods: a Good Place For ShoppingB. Borrow, Don’t Buy: Websites That Let Strangers Sh areC. Why Do I RentD. Tips For Selling Things On the InternetSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Ambitious “go getters” (people energetic and eager to succeed) earn more money throughout their lives –but the “price” is that they have poorer health and die younger. They are also not much happier than less ambitious people.A new study tracked 717 high achievers who attended universities such as Oxford, Harvard and Yale, as well as high ability individuals who didn’t attend universities. The researchers assume that highly ambitious people may devote so much time to their jobs that they neglect areas of life proven to help people live long, happy life.The study focused on people born in the first half of the 20th century, and tracked them to the end of their lives. “Ambitious kids had higher educational attainment, attended highly esteemed universities, worked in more prestigious (有声望的) occupations, and earned more,” says Timothy Judge, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.“So, it would seem that they are prepared to ‘have it all.’ However, we determined that ambition has a much weaker effect on life satisfaction and actually a slightly negative impact on longevity (how long people lived).“So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn’t seem to translate into leading happier or healthier lives.” Judge u sed a complex formula to judge ambition at every stage of life – and to divide high-ability individuals into “ambitious” and “less ambitious” groups. “If ambition has its positive effects, and in terms of career success it certainly seems that it does, our study also suggests that it carries with it some cost,” Prof Judge says.“Despite their many accomplishments, ambitious people are only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and they actually live somewhat shorter lives.”“Perhaps the i nvestments they make in their careers come at the expense of the things we know affect longevity: healthy behaviors, stable relationships and deep social networks.”“If your biggest wish for your children is that they lead happy and healthy lives, you might not want to overemphasize professional success. There are limits to what our ambitions bring us – or our children.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS) 78. According to the passage, ambitious people have greater earning power in theirlife, but at the cost of their ___________.79.
