The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that about 4.3 billion years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study guessed that about 3 billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, an assistant professor at The Penn State University, was a co- writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic ( 动态的) . The sea level rose significantly, ” he said. “Rocks were being deposited (沉积) along its basins at a fast rate.There was a lot of change happening here. ”Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time, ” he said.4．How does the author develop paragraph 2?A．By drawing comparisons. B．By giving examples.C．By listing figures. D．By asking questions.5．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers?A．How they found the evidence. B．Where they created maps.C．Why they studied satellites. D．When they landed on Mars.6．What did the new study find about Mars?A．It must have been always warm.B．It might have had an active ocean.C．The climate and sea level were unchangeable.D．The atmosphere was too thin to support water.7．Which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from?A．Science. B．Photography. C．Literature. D．Farming.CAs a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: t he woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune(自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints an d brain fog butI pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bed habits.And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count ofmy energy and ability before jumping in.8．Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?A．To please her boss. B．To prove her profession.C．To push herself to the limit. D．To earn herself a good reputation.9．How did the author deal with the changes in her body?A．She got rid of bad habits. B．She thought little of them.C．She slowed down her life pace. D．She paid more attention to her health.10．Which word can best describe the author?A．Purposeful. B．Stubborn. C．Reflective. D．Encouraging.11．What will the author do before saying yes?A．Find a cheerleader. B．Evaluate her situation.C．Breathe in some fresh air. D．Seek help from her friends.DLynda Doughty, a marine biologist, developed a passion for marine wildlife during her childhood. Growing up along the coast of Maine, she witnessed the impact of human activity on marine mammals and she made it her life’s work to protect them. “I feel this intense responsibility to help these animals,” Lynda said. “And, really, this is what I was put on this Earth to do.”Harbor seals are among the most common mammals found along the East Coast, and they face various threats to their well-being, including fishing net s and illegal feeding, chemical pollutants, as well as boat and propeller (螺旋桨) injuries.Earlier in her career, she worked for a marine mammal emergency response organization that eventually closed due to lack of funding. To fill the gap left by the group, Lynda started her ownnon-profit organization — Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011. It has since provided response and medical care for more than 3,000 marine mammals.Lynda’s team operates a 24-hour hotline that responds to calls regarding marine mammals in danger. Their permit allows them to respond to mammals stranded (搁浅) within 2,500 miles of the coastline, and her team only offers help if the mammal is in critical condition. Critically ill mammals are transported to Lynda’s center and nur sed back to health. Seals typically require three or more months of professional care treatment before they are released back into the ocean.In addition to mammal rescues, Marine Mammals of Maine conducts important research to learn about marine mammal habitats and human impacts. Marine mammals can give us clues about the ocean’s health, which ultimately affects human well-being as well. The organization also helpspromote marine conservation among youth and the local community. In addition, they instruct the public on what to do, and what not to do, when encountering wild species like harbor seals. 12．What do Lynda’s words mean?A．She was born along the coast of Maine.B．She ignored the impact of human activity.C．She did her work with a sense of mission.D．She protected marine wildlife at a young age.13．Why did Lynda set up Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011?A．To earn more money.B．To replace the group.C．To make the group a non-profit organization.D．To restart marine mammal emergency response.14．What can we learn about Lynda’s team from paragraph 4?A．It only treats critically ill seals.B．It rescues marine mammals in danger.C．It protects all endangered marine mammals.D．It stops people from fishing marine mammals.15．What’s the purpose of paragraph 5?A．To state younger generations need to be instructed.B．To stress the severe situations that marine life faces.C．To mention other social contributions of Lynda’s team.D．To show humans have a great impact on marine mammals.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，有两项为多余选项How to Survive a Lightning Strike?According to the National Weather Service, almost two-thirds of lightning accidents occur as people enjoy leisure activities outdoors. _16 _.

2020-2021学年上海华二(紫竹)高三英语下学期3月考试卷及答案
2021华二（紫竹）高三英语下学期3月考试卷II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage 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.Tweenbots are human-dependent cardboard robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination (21) (display) on a flag and rely on passer-by they come across to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.I walked out to Washington Square Park on a sunny summer day, (22) (place) my first Tweenbot on the sidewalk, and walked away. From a distance, I observed as the Tweenbot––a smiling 10-inch tall cardboard missionary––bumped along towards his inevitable fate.It was incredible.(23) _______ a Tweenbot got caught under a park bench, ground repeatedly against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passer-by would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once (24) a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the "right" direction, if that direction meant (25) (send) the robot into a dangerous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction (26) _______ it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road."The Tweenbot’s unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that speaks to the power of a simple technological object (27) (create) a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous(非同时发生的) interactions. The journey (28) take becomes a story of people's willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of being easily harmed, of being lost, and of having intention (29) the means of achieving its goal alone.(30) each encounter with an empathetic(有同感的) pedestrian takes a Tweenbot one step closer to reaching its destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions builds up into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Narrowing the Gap between College Degrees and Practical Skills Getting a university degree has never seemed more important: college graduates earn more money, live longer, and are happier. But college degrees are expensive (especially in the US), 31 focused(especially in the UK), and often fail to build the skills employers want (true in most countries).A new university in the UK wants to change that.The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), which will 32 . in 2021 with a target of 100 students, will scrap traditional academic subjects and offer a three-year bachelor of arts and sciences degree designed to 33 real-world issues. The 34 is built around interdisciplinary problems-knife crime, childhood obesity, palm oil in supply chains, plastic pollution----as well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police, Innocent, and Virgin will provide project ideas and offer five-week work experience for students.The idea is similar to a US liberal arts degree (a rarity in the UK) but also more explicitly focused on "interdisciplinarity, "or drawing on 35 subjects-economics, psychology, sociology, statistics-to solve 36 problems like childhood obesity. In other words, the problem, not the subject, sits at the center of the curriculum. The skills students develop, the founders hope, will more closely agree with what an Al-infused, automated world demands: 37 between people and machines, critical thinking, speaking and writing skills, and data management, to name just a few things.Students will tackle problems through various disciplines: knife crime, for example, by understanding cultural and socioeconomic factors in different neighborhoods, data science, statistics, publicly 38 data, an economics or psychology lens.In the UK, students apply through a central clearinghouse, and exam results are of primary importance. At LIS, students will instead apply 39 and all will be invited to a"selection day" which will include a face-to-face interview so that LIS can understand a students' background，motivations, and passions. Interviews will be conducted by a panel to minimize bias. Conditional offers will be 40 based on personal background, circumstances and, also, grades.III. Reading Comprehension (45 分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word of phrase that best fits the context.Reading award-winning literature may boost your ability to read other people, a new study suggests. Researchers at the New School for Social Research found that when they had volunteers read works of acclaimed(受到称赞的) “literary fiction”, it seemed to temporarily improve their ability to (41)________ other people's emotions. The same was not (42)________ of nonfiction or “popular" fiction, the mystery, romance and science fiction books that often dominate bestseller lists.Researchers (43)________ a series of five experiments which participants read either literary fiction, popular fiction, nonfiction or nothing at all before taking some standard tests. One of the tests is known as "Reading the Mind in the Eyes”. People have to look at photos of actors’ eyes, and then guess what emotion is being expressed in each. The test is considered a(n) (44)________ of empathy. Overall, study participants scored better after reading literary fiction, versus the other three (45)________.It was a(n) (46)________ improvement, according to the principal researcher David Comer Kidd, "It's not like taking people from a ‘C' to an ‘A' ," he said. But, Kidd added, the effect was seen after only about 10 minutes’ reading, and it was a statistically strong finding, mean ing it's unlikely to have been due to (47)________.What's so (48)________ about literary fiction? It's usually more focused on character than on plot. There is usually no single "dominant narrator" who takes readers through the story. It (49)________ that the readers should think about the characters and fill in the gaps. The author doesn't tell you what to think. Readers have to make (50)________ about characters. And that's often what people are doing in the real-life conversations."This is great study!" said Raymond Mar, an associate professor of psychology at York University, who was not involved in the new study. (51)________, he added that the overall research in this area is "still in its infancy" and one key question is whether literary fiction really (52)________ other types of fiction. So, it's too early to tell people to (53)________ their romance novel for Nobel literature, at least if the goal is boosting empathy.But it is (54)________ that the findings suggest literature is important beyond entertainment or improving vocabulary. “There’s a common belief that reading literature is frivolous(可笑的), or not practical,” Mar said. “But there's a growing body of evidence that it's important in (55)________ that we need in our lives.”41.

A. conversations B. moods C. skills D. innovationsSection 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)There are few situations more unpleasant than a television presenter trying to hang on to a job. When one of the presenters of the BBC program Crimewatch resigned recently, rather than suffer the inevitable indignity of being unfinished and replaced by a younger version, he made the usual hurt noises about his masters’ overemphasis on youth. People in the media listened sympathetically before he slid from view to join the ranks of television’s has-beens.The presenter’s argument, that the viewers don’t care how old you are so long as you can “do the job,” unfortunately is not backed up by the evidence. When you're on TV, viewers are always thinking about whether you're losing your hair or your figure and, lately, whether you've had cosmetic work done. This is what they’re actually doing when you think they’re listening to the wise things you say. Viewers actually don't understand much of what the job involves, they just see you sitting there looking the part. Like the ability to pat one’s head while rubbing one's stomach, TV presenting is just one of those skills. Some of those who possess this skill can hit the big name. inevitablyas they become more attached to the lifestyle this brings, however, the more likely they are to overstate the skill.In reality，if somebody is paying you a lot of money to do a job，it's often on the tacit(心照不宣的)understanding that you may be fired suddenly---it's part of the deal. Unlike football managers, TV presenters pretend not to understand this. If they’ve had many years being paid silly sums to read a script from an autocue(自动题词机)，it's difficult for them to accept that they³ve been the beneficiary of good fortune rather than anything else; even harder to face the fact that an editor could all too easily send them to the shopping channels.Something similar eventually awaits all the people who are currently making fortunes that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations of presenters. One day we'll decide that their face no longer fits and they³ll be dragged away complaining about the same ageist policy from which they no doubt previously profited. Show business is a brutal(残忍的)business. The one thing it reliably punishes is age, particularly among women. That's why, at the age of fifty, female TV presenters become female radio presenters and why girl bands planning to re-form need to get it done before they're forty, after which it will get too hard for everyone to suspend their collective disbelief.56. What does the writer imply about the Crimewatch presenter he mentions in the first paragraph?A. He was unwise to resign when he did.B. He will soon be forgotten by the viewers.C. He may well have had a valid point to make.D. He was treated insensitively by his employers.57. The underlined pronoun “this" in paragraph 2 refers to .A. a public imageB. a level of successC. an overstatementD. a common misunderstanding58. Why does the writer mention football managers in paragraph 3?A. To support his view that presenters are overpaid.B. To stress how important luck is in certain occupations.C. To show how relatively secure TV presenters are in their jobs.D. To illustrate a general rule that applies to certain types of job.59. According to the writer, TV personalities who may worry about ageism .A. should look for work in other forms of broadcastingB. may have benefited from it themselves at some pointC. are less well respected than presenters of the pastD. are being unfair to up-and-coming younger colleagues(B)60.In Fabric &Styles, which item leaves you with the latest personal choice?A.FabricB. Fly StyleC. Pocket StyleD. Thread Color61.According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in your order.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed, nothing can be done tofix the situation.C.Before payment. you'd better check your order in detail and can still make modifications ifnecessary.D. You will have to wash your jeans upon receipt, because they don't fit perfectly until theyshrink a little after washing.62. If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October 12, you will receiveyour jeans no later than______.A. Oct. 21B. Oct. 26C. Nov.16D.Nov.20（C）Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist(女权主义者) movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social conditions that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United States have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement utopian socialism--which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated(到达顶峰) in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls. New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simoniamism has, however, been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed itsadherents’ energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism. European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism, European historians’ appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.Saint-Simon's followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female, to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their Utopia.Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believed that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they owed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life.63. It can be inferred that the author considers those historians who describe early feminists in the United States as“solitary” to be______________.A. insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century American feminist thoughtB. overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848C. not focused narrowly enough in their geo-graphical scopeD. insufficiently aware of the ideological consequence of the Seneca Falls conference64. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women’s rights?A. It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.B. It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroadC. It was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.D. It was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism65.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that study of Saint-Simonianism is necessary for.historians of American feminism because such study______________.A. would clarify the ideological origins of those feminist ideas that influenced American feminismB. would increase understanding of a movement that deeply influenced the Utopian socialism of early American.feministsC. would focus attention on the most important aspect of Saint-Simonian thought before 1832D. promises to offer insight into a movement that was a direct outgrowth of the Seneca Falls conference of 184866. According to the passage, which of the following would be the most accurate description of the society.envisioned by most Saint-Simonians?A. A society in which women were highly regarded for their extensive educationB. A society in which the two genders played complementary roles and had equal statusC. A society in which women did not enter public lifeD. A social order in which body of men and women would rule together on the basis of their spiritual power Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.How to improve efficiency when working at home?Distinguish between work and home modeOne of the biggest merits about working from home - slowly moving from bed to the sofa five minutes before you start - can also be your biggest challenge, says Eyre-White.Don’t forget that you are there to work ——(67)______________ “Switch from home to work mode,” she says, by having something you physically do to “flip the switch”.“Maybe it’s walking round the block, making a special kind of tea, or lighting a candle at your desk. It doesn’t matter what it is but do it without fail to create a strong association in your mind,” she says.Be realistic about what you can achieve“A wide, open day working from home can feel full of possibilities. 145 things on the to do list? No problem! Don't fall into the trap of being over-ambitious," says Eyre-White. Instead, she recommends being realistic and then possibly achieving more than you set out to; and feeling satisfied, rather than feeling disappointed you didn't do everything.She suggests choosing three to five things to do and aim to get the majority done before lunch.“(68)______________” she recommends.Work in short burstsIn the office your day is broken up by everything from meetings to water-cooler chats, lunch breaks and even toilet breaks, but when you are sat at home on your own with no face-to-face interaction planned it can be easy to just work for long, unbroken periods.“(69)_____________ Although this can be frustrating, they divide the day up and create natural chunks of time,” explains Eyre-White. “In contrast, a day at home can be very unstructured.”In order to be productive, she recommends imposing stricture on yourself. For example, working in 45-60 minute chunks of focused work followed by a short break.” This can be an effective way to break the day up and maintain your concentration levels,” she says.Manage distractionsBeing in an office gives us a limited number of ways to get distracted but when you start working in a new environment (especially a very familiar one) it can be easy to let yourself get distracted.“(70)_________________” says Byre-White. “So proactively manage things which might interrupt your focus.” She explains: “Keep them limited to short breaks in between chunks of focused work. A change of scene is all we need to give our brain a break, and it’s the perfect time to put a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher.”V.

There are now well over 1,000 colleges and universities that don’t require SAT or ACT scores in deciding whom to admit, a number that is growing every year. 61 new study finds that scores on these tests are of little value in predicting students’ performance in college, and 62 (raise) the question: Should those tests be required at all?When a college considers test-optional admissions policies, the first 63 (react) people feel is that the college will admit less 64 (qualify) students. Actually, more students from diverse backgrounds 65 (admit) to colleges abolishing test scores and students graduate at a higher rate. 66 , some researchers question the impact the policies have had 67 schools. They argue that 68 the study is showing can’t prove test scores can be an obstacle for students. But two years’ worth of data clearly indicate that students who go into university with high test scores perform no better than 69 (they) fellow students. So the70 (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool. 第二节(共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)61.

Burying loved ones with basic necessities like ceramic pots and clothing, to ensure their (31) _______ in the afterlife, was a fairly common tradition in ancient cultures.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Sigmund Freud famously maintained that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or (42) _______ random neuron（神经元）activity, or prepare responses to threatening situations. Others argue that dreams have no evolutionary function, but simply (43) ________ personal concerns.Despite being largely unsupported by (44) _______, Freud’s view maintains a strong following around the world.

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)Jonas was careful about language. Not like his friend, Asher, who talked too fast, mixing up words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny.Jonas smiled, remembering the morning that Asher had dashed into the classroom, late as usual, arriving breathlessly in the middle of the chanting of the morning anthem （国歌）. When the class took their seats at the conclusion of the patriotic song, Asher remained standing to make his public apology as was required.“I apologize for inconveniencing my learning community.” Asher ran through the standard apology phrase rapidly, still catching his breath. The Instructor and class waited patiently for his explanation.“I left home at the correct time but when I was riding along near the pool, the crew was separating some salmon. I guess I just got distraught, watching them.”“I apologize to my classmates,” Asher concluded. He smoothed his messy collar and sat down.“We accept your apology, Asher.” The class recited the standard response in unison. Many of the students were biting their lips to keep from laughing.“I accept your apology, Asher,” the Instructor said. He was smiling. “And I thank you, because once again you have provided an opportunity for a lesson in language. ‘Distraught’ is too strong an adjective to describe salmon viewing.” He turned and wrote “distraught” on the instructional board. Beside it he wrote “distracted.”Jonas, nearing his home now, smiled at the recollection.Thinking, still, as he wheeled his bike into its narrow port beside the door, he realized that frightened was the wrong word to describe his feelings, now that December was almost here. It was too strong an adjective.He had waited a long time for this special December, when the Ceremony of the Twelve will be held and the future assignment will be announced by the Elders in the committee.Now that it was almost upon him, he wasn’t frightened, but he was... eager, he decided. He was eager for it to come. And he was excited, certainly. All of the Elevens were excited about the event that would be coming so soon. But there was a little tremble of nervousness when he thought about it, about what might happen.Anxious, Jonas decided. That’s what I am.56. Asher arrived at the school _________.A. as soon as the students concluded the national anthemB. after all the other students had taken their seatsC. when the Instructor had begun the language lessonD. when students had started singing the patriotic song57. Why did the Instructor write the word “distraught” on the board?A. To show he accepted the apology.B. To explain the confusing words.C. To warn students against using it.D. To shame Asher for using the wrong word.58. Jonas recalled what happened to Asher because ________.A. he found himself struggling to describe his feelings preciselyB. he was certain that he would make the same mistake as Asher didC. he was reminded to use the appropriate language for the ceremonyD. he finally understood how Asher was feeling that morning59. The text is probably extracted from ________.A. a science fiction novelB. a journal of applied linguisticsC. a documentary about campus lifeD. a manual for using language correctly（B）Three years of drought in Zimbabwe have left fields too dry to grow crops.

The purpose of the leaflet is to ________.A. encourage public donations to charityB. introduce the various charity work doneC. outline procedures of donating to charityD. raise awareness of ending world hunger(C)Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment（色素）used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts（手稿）in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen（亚麻）.” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will notbe our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”63. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. determine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color folium belongs to64. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means ________.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully65. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.66. The article is mainly about _________.A. how the mystery of a thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was madeSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. In theory, the longer break will allow your brain to relax, reset, and get ready forthe next round of Pomodoros.B. Without a good system in place, it is easy to lose focus, waste time, and lose trackof our most important tasks.C. While you are working, block out all unnecessary distractions.D. It uses a timer to break down your work into 25-minute blocks separated by shortbreaks.E. If you’re managing a team, have everyone start the Pomodoro at the same time,and do breaks at the same time.F. It can be something big, something small, or something that you’ve been puttingoff for months.Managing Time with the Pomodoro Technique In work, as well as in life, doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals can be difficult. (67) ____________________ Luckily, one of the most efficient and most popular time management techniques is also one of the world’s simplest — the Pomodoro Technique.The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.(68) ____________________ Each block is known as a pomodoro, the Italian word for“tomato.” Cirillo named the system after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that he used to track his work time when he was studying as a university student. He developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time instead of struggling against it.In 2006, Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free of charge. The Pomodoro technique can be applied in almost all parts of our life. It was built around a handful of important steps. First, choose a task that you’d like to get done. (69) ____________________What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.Next, set a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete attention on the task. Then, when the timer goes off, take a five-minute break. Sit back, have a drink, go for a short walk, or do something else that is not work-related. Once you have completed four of these 30-minute cycles, treat yourself to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30 minutes. (70) ____________________After trying the Pomodoro Technique, you may want to experiment a little. Some people have found that 90-minute blocks work best, while others might perform better with more flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember, like many things in life, simpler is often better!IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What Is Zero Waste?T he goal of the “zero waste” movement is to get rid of all waste from products. “Zero waste” means using every part of a product. Today, the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular way to use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds（咖啡渣）to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it’s challenging, zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry, zero waste isn’t a new idea. But in today’s world of fast fashion, zero waste is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion, there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils（器皿）. Bakey’s is a company that is developing edible（可食用的）utensils. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat, they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is experimentingwith edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee, you eat the cup, just like a cookie!Whether products are made to be edible or reusable, hopefully the movement will help reduce waste all over the world.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 生活技能课程从教学生如何换灯泡开始。
