The The The telescope telescope telescope is is is called called called WISE WISE WISE and and and is is is about about about as as as wide wide wide around around around as as as a a trashcan. Don't let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects in the known universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born. "I'm very excited because we're going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven't seen before," said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project. Since Since arriving arriving arriving in in in space, space, space, the the the WISE WISE WISE telescope telescope telescope has has has been been been circling circling circling the the the Earth, Earth, Earth, held held held by by gravity in a polar orbit(this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap (一圈).Its camera is pointed outward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky. The The pictures pictures pictures taken taken taken by by by WISE WISE WISE won't won't won't be be be like like like everyday everyday everyday digital digital digital photographs, photographs, photographs, however. however. WISE stands for "Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer." As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation (红外线辐射). Radiation Radiation is is is energy energy energy that that that travels travels travels as as as a a a wave. wave. wave.

When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree, for example, it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, they're processed by the camera, which then puts the image together. Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras don't see them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin. 10 That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space —but they absorb most of the light that reaches them.

This anxiety can 41 itself in physical symptoms like nausea or sweaty palms, or in emotional symptoms like panic and irritability. Often, individuals will become nervous long before the exam date because they feel 42 by the amount of material they must master. The firststep in 43 this anxiety is realizing that test anxiety is a natural reaction, and that it can be 44 . In order to regain control over anxiety, one should break the exam 45 into smaller sections. It will seem much easier to master a series of small subjects than to handle a huge subject all at once.Test-takers should make a study schedule weeks or months ahead of the exam, and give themselves a small amount to learn each period. When the exam day 46 arrives, anxiety will be reduced by the feeling of preparedness. Apart from that, anxiety can be lessened in a few easy ways. First, avoid having any excessively stimulating foods, such as those 47 caffeine or sugar, on the day of the exam. Getting a good night's sleep and a little bit of exercise will 48 one's brain and allow for easy 49 of the learned material. During the exam, breathe deeply and sit in a comfortable position. On exams where this is possible, many people find comfort in going through and answering all of the easy questions before 50 the more difficult ones.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.Leadership is a word getting a lot of attention these days. It appears in the title of new advice, how-to, and business books with amazing 51 . Definitions vary, but most of the ones I’ve seen don’t help much. It’s a totally 52 subject You think A is a great leader; I like B’s 53 better. That is, you may not be able to 54 it, but you know it when you see it.So this is my take on the elusive (难以捉摸的) conceptYears ago, leadership had 55 to do with a specific ability. “Leader” was the56 given to the emperor of the organization. The person was the commander, the 57 with complete control. But 58 there is another way to establish yourself as a leader.Here is my definition Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want, need, or expect them to do, and feel good about doing it. It is the 59 part (feeling good about doing it) that is so elusive.If I am in charge, I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done. I can give orders. 60 , I am the boss, and everyone knows what that means. It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the 61 .Today, I believe that approach is on the way 62 , although it will always be with us. When people hate the boss, sure, the boss is called “leader”—but not a good one, because the followers are an unhappy bunch. If they had another, 63 job to go to, they would be gone in a minute.Here is a list of the qualities I believe it 64 to be a good leader 1. Likable; 2. Trustworthy; 3. Competent and experienced;4.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Being a normal, healthy nineteen-year-old, Rhona was in the habit of falling asleep the moment her head touched her pillow and not wakening up again until her mother called her at seven-thirty.When she awoke that morning in the grey light of early dawn, she had no idea what had disturbed her. Then she imagined, orthought she imagined, a faint smell of smoke around her nostrils (鼻孔). What was strange, though, was the very fact that she was wide awake and, according to her bedside clock, it was only a quarter to four.She sat up, listening, alert. There was definitely a smell of burning. Rising quickly, she crossed to the window and opened it quietly, thinking it would be the remains of some garden bonfire. But it wasn’t. She saw smoke and flam es billowing out of a downstairs window next door.Barefoot and in pyjamas, she ran first to her parents’ room, opening their door to call, “Mum! Dad! There’s a fire next door!”Downstairs in a flash, she hurriedly dialed 999 and gave her name and address in clear, brief tones. By the time she had finished, Graeme, her elder brother, was coming running downstairs.“You go to their front door—I’ll go to the back,” she said to him.As she banged on their neighbors’ back door, she could hear a child crying in fear. Without stopping to think, Rhona lifted the large doorstop and smashed it through a glass panel, put her hand in and turned the key which opened the door.Through the smoke she saw a drying screen hung with white washing and she grabbed at as many of the damp clothes as she could on her way past towards the stairs. Halfway up she met Mr Parker carrying the baby and she hurriedly gave him some wet towels before doing the same for Mrs Parker who was behind him leading two-year-old Clare by the hand.“Crouch down as low as you can,” Rhona directed them as she took the child’s other hand. Within a matter of seconds the family was safely outside.66. Rhona woke up early in the morning because_________.A. her mother called her for an emergencyB. she heard a baby crying in fear downstairsC. she smelt something burning in the airD. the alarm clock rang as she set it67.

Rhona broke into the house by back door after smashing the glass panel.D. Rhona covered her mouth with the damp clothes before entering the Parkers’.68.

It is mostly the courts that they experienced any great difficulty –Hong Kong’s law and court proceedings are in English – because, apparently, not sufficient attention is given to translating laws and procedures into Chinese.One other difficulty lies in the field of official communication –from Government offices. It seems no more than reasonable that such communications addressed to Chinese people should be in both Chinese and English.The Chinese Language Committee has, in its four reports to Government, proposed that the Chinese language should have equal status with the English language in meetings of the Legislative Council, the Urban Council and Government Boards and Committees; in oral and written communications between Government and the public; in court-proceedings and the language of the law; and in the Hong Kong School Certificate of Education Examinations – all that by 1974 or 1975.The key-word in the recommendation is status, as Judge T.L. Yang, Chairman of the Legal Sub-committee of the government-appointed Chinese Language Committee, pointed out. He is not happy with the term Fat Ting U Men which the Committee adopted to indicate the official status of the Chinese language. His Honor preferred Kun Fong U Men, meaning a language used by the government.In other words, such official language, whether Chinese or English, need not necessarily be used in every instance. Consequently, situations may occur in which only Chinese is used by the government and, again, othercommunication situations in which only English is used. As one Chinese newspaper editorial pointed out, equal status does not necessarily mean equal use – whether in law or any other official communication.The result of the Chinese Language Committee’s four Reports seems to be that Chinese and English are now used in the Urban Council and the Legislative Council meetings and are likely to be used shortly in other circumstances prospected by that Committee. Let it be noted, however, that in Hong Kong, as everywhere else, new ideas take hold very slowly –unless pressure is exerted from some quarter or another.For instance, after the demonstrations by post-secondary students in favor of Chinese as an official language, Government communicated with the public in both Chinese and English. However, when such communication appeared in writing, the Chinese translation was often so inadequate that the receivers, if they were able, read the English to understand the meaning of the Chinese.74. According to the writer, Chinese should be made an official language because ________.A. most Hong Kong citizens have an adequate command of ChineseB. some Hong Kong citizens find considerable difficulty in legal languageC. the population of Hong Kong is predominantly ChineseD. the national pride of the Hong Kong Chinese urges them to demand it.75. The main idea of the sixth paragraph is that ________.A. equal status of English and Chinese means equal useB. only Chinese should be used in official communicationC. both English and Chinese should be employed in all official communicationD. both English and Chinese or either language should be used as the situation demands76. The phrase or word nearest in meaning to take hold in the seventh paragraph is ________.A. fasten upon the mindB. graspC. are rejectedD. are accepted77. The writer, in his conclusion, implies that ________.A. the government will be forced to accept Chinese as an official languageB. good translators are definitely inadequate in Hong KongC. many difficulties will arise from translating English into ChineseD. a person has to be bilingual (双语的) before he understands translations in Chinese(D)Sunshine might be healthier than most people think, outweighing the risk of skin cancer. British doctors suggested last week and ran straight into a storm. The four researchers at Bristol University in western England were accused of weakening years of campaigning to warn people of the dangers of too much sun. Exper ts agree exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays (紫外线) increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the signs of aging. But in the British Medical Journal, the Bristol team led by Andrew Ness wrote, “There is evidence that the potential benefits of exposure to sunlight may outweigh the widely publicized negative effects on the incidence of skin cancer.”Vitamin D, made in the body in reaction to sunlight, prevented rickets (软骨病) in children and was associated with aprotective effect against heart disease.Sunshine was also useful for treating certain skin conditions and there was evidence that it reduced the incidence of multiple sclerosis (硬化症). There was also the “feel good effect of lying or sitting in the sun.” The researchers said it was too earl y to advise people to spend more time in the sun, but suggested the basis of the current advice to cover up should be reviewed.“Perhaps, while we await the conclusions of such formal analyses, those of us who enjoy spending time in the sun can rest assured that the chance that we will be one of the people dying from the sun is small.” they added.Their article was strongly criticized by health campaigners who claimed it was unbalanced and not backed by scientific evidence. Britain’s Health Education Auth ority said skin cancer was the most common form of cancer in the country, with more than 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year and more than 2,000 people dying from the disease. It said treatment almost always required surgery and almost 50 per cent of cases were fatal. The authority’s skin cancer campaign manager Christopher New said, “We are very disappointed with this controversial article. It doesn’t have enough supporting evidence and runs the risk of undoing many years of good health education.”(Note Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.

上海市各区2015届高三英语一模试卷分类汇编：回答问题专题One【虹口区】Section CDirections: Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, "I know I was there; I saw it happen" and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?Take competitive sports for example. Most fans at sports events are always controlled by emotion, which leads to the fact that they will not agree with each other and even disagree with the referee although they watch the same game. "He was out of bounds when he caught the pass," says one fan. Another says, "You're crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind." The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced—because they were there!It's the same story in the courtroom. Trial (审判) procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony （证词）. But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses overestimated the man's height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair colour in 83 percent of the cases. These witnesses didn't play tricks on them!What can we do to keep error to minimum? Above all, don't let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don't see something because you want to see it. Another solution to the problem would, of course, be to note down what you see. Don't rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other aid, which will help a lot to reduce distortion. One more solution is also needed: The error is not likely to be minimized until the people involved stay relaxed. If you are tense, you are very likely to see red when the colour is blue.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. The reason why fans disagree with each other at sports events is that few of them_____.79. The word "them" in Para.3 refers to________.80. What are the other two solutions to keeping visual error to minimum besides not letting your emotions interfere with your vision?81. It can be inferred from the passage that the author takes sports events and courtroom as examples in order to illustrate ______.78. are not controlled by emotion79. the man's height, age and hair colour80.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.On October 29, 1929, the United States stock market crashed. In the days that followed, banks and businesses closed, the number of the unemployed workers rose to 15million, and many people lost their savings. As the economic crisis wore on, it became known as the Great Depression. It left many people feeling anxious and uncertain about the future.Within days of his inauguration(就职典礼) in 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR) began taking steps to stabilize the banking system, support the economy, and provide jobs for unemployed workers. To keep the American public informed about the changes that were underway, he gave a series of radio addresses called fireside chats. FDR used these broadcasts to speak about a number of issues. The first of Roosevelt’s fireside chats was delivered on Sund ay, March 12,1933. His goal in this message was to explain the bank crisis in the United States.He explained to American why banks had run out of money. Roosevelt assured people that their money was safe and that they could get their money when they really needed it. He said that most of the banks would be open the next day and that others would be open again very soon. His message’s purpose was to restore American’s confidence in their banking system.Roosevelt’s chats to America were popular with the peo ple. Many looked forward to hearing what FDR had to say. The White House did not always tell the public whether a particular radio address was to be regarded as a fireside chat. As a result, there is some question about the exact number of these speeches. Twenty-eight such addresses were definitely identified, and two other radio addresses could have also been chats.Roosevelt delivered his final fireside chat on June 12,1944. The focus was opening a fifth war-loan drive. He complimented the American people for supporting the war effort with the purchase of more than $32 billion of war bonds. He encouraged them to buy more as the war effort continued to cost money every day, money that he confidently predicted would lead to final victory.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is .Though much theory has accumulated ,little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions, reason, and intuitions(直觉). But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L.Lowes, in his justly famous” The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question. Imaginative creation. He concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixing images ,but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form , and with the vision, the controlling will ,which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas , feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision, an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows , silently seeking pattern and form. Finally, the conscious mind again, through will , captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos.Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似)，to some extent ,Lowes’s theory of well , vision , form and will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.In a sense, the period of preparation is all of the writer’s life. It is the deep well. It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms. It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though not enough, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the vision, according to Lowes, that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words)78.John L. Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question of ______________________.79._________________________are the four elements of John L. Lowes’ theory.80.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, and the foreigner who learns a new language--all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have , their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face theunknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more changes and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face or overcome these internal fears and doubt, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．Based on the two basic ways to view growth mentioned in the passage, “Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.” can be regarded as______________________________.The process of growth refers to ___________________________________,when people come across new experiences and obstacles.If someone is keen on learning anything new, he is likely to____________________________.________________________________________or too much self-protection may prevent us growing.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)Six【闵行区】Seven【奉贤区】Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In th is experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable." Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)The self- help industry is based on _________________________________________.The finding of the Canadian researchers is that______________________________.From the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic, we knowthat__________________.From the last paragraph, we know that ___________________ may prove to be agood form of psychotherapy.Keys:78.the idea that you should turn negative thoughts into positive ones.79.Thinking more positively have a opposite effect.80.overly positive thinking doesn’t make people feel better.81.Meditation techniquesEight【静安区】Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

However, in a new release called The Woman in Black, the successful child actor finally escapes J.K. Rowling’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept 20, 2012, tells the tale of a widowed(丧妻的)lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe)who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’saffairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decided to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty, followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路)going: demonic(恶魔的)dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked(穿黑披风的)woman herself. However, it has become one of that year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there.British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.“The Woman in Black works because of Radcliffe, not in spite of him,”he said. “Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forev er.”There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambledon Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and lettingthe camera drift closer and closer into his eyes, ”h e told British magazine Total Film.For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.“It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stret ching(倾注全力)yourself and learning. ”Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.And he understands fame is fleeting. “The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by [US writer] William Goldman.

More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has become the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the community of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day. Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a 2012 global ranking published by education company Education First - even though the use ofEnglish has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-2012 survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79.

While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.“Two heads are better than one.”That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate(拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.Study groups work best when they are small , but not too small -four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lec ture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says “I read somewhere that...”, the source-seekers should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)Many universities encourage students to take advantage of _________for better grades rather than learning alone.Peers are not only the best academic resources but also motivate each other to __________when learning in groups.According to paragraph 3, besides the small size, what are the other two factors that could help a study group work best?All the members in the study group will be assigned different roles because people believe that it will result in________.Keys:study groupswork harderThe same goal and specializing in the groupmaximizing the efficiencyEleven【闸北区】Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

He proposes that the caves were preserved for their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises.Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.Beside animal sounds, many ancient cultures attributed thunder in the sky to ‘thunder gods,’ so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls.The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows statistically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment.As for the presence of the famous Stonehenge(巨石阵) in Britain, Mr. Walker also suggests it may have been the sound of the prehistoric monument, rather than the sight, that inspired its creation.He claims that its architects may have been trying to recreate a sound-effect similar to the ritual sound made during religious dancing.People taking part in a religious dance around a pair of pipes would have heard the music grow quieter as they moved past certain pipes due to a natural phenomenon known as an ‘interference pattern.’ If they were blindfold, it would have created the illusion that th e sound was intermittently being reduced by invisible gods as they danced. According to Dr. Walker, the effects became so impressive that ancient people attempted to capture it in store. Therefore the Stonehenge。

请写一篇文章阐明你的观点。

你的文章必须包括：●简要介绍两种购物方式的不同之处●你喜欢那种购物方式？为什么？参考：Shopping online vs. shopping in physical storesAs scientific technologies developed faster and faster, our common lives have changed more and more, one of which is our shopping way.We have been shopping in physical stores, where a salesman may introduce many products to you and give you some advice about which one is the best choice, and you can try those clothes or shoes in person, even change another one if you find it not suitable to yourself.However, a new shopping method sprang up --- shopping online. There appear quantities of various stores on the Internet. You just need to click your mouse, and then you can see different kinds of commodities in them, with colorful pictures and detailed descriptions. If you are not clear about something, you can ask the customer service staff for help, who usually very kind and glad to answer your any question. Moreover, you can compare the same kind of products in different stores at the same time, which is able to save your time and avoid embarrassment.But every coin has two sides. Shopping online is not exceptional, so there are some disadvantages. First, you can never be sure whether the product is exactly what you see in the picture or read in the descriptions. What you receive may be much different from what is in your mind, for instance, strange color, wrong size or bad quality. Secondly, the products may be lost in the express delivery.From my perspective, I prefer shopping online, because I am too busy to have time go shopping in physical stores and goods online are usually cheaper. But I always choose the shops which have good reputation.【答案解析】文中包含题干的两个问题即可。

It’s a real illness with real causes. Depression can be triggered by stressful life events, like divorce or a death in the family. Or it can appear suddenly, for no apparent reason.Some people think you can just will yourself out of a depressio n. That’s not true. Many doctors believe that onething that may cause depression is an imbalance of serotonin -- a chemical in your body. If this happens, you may have trouble sleeping. Feel unusually sad or irritable easily. Find it hardto concentrate. Lose your appetite. Lack energy. Or have trouble feeling pleasure. These are some of the symptoms that can point to depression -- especially if they last for more than a couple of weeks and if normal, everyday life feels like to much to handle.To help fight depression, the medicine doctors now prescribe （开处方）most often is Prozac. Prozac isn’t a “happy pill”. It’s not a tranquilizer（镇静剂）. It won’t turn you into a different person.Some people do e某perience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headaches, difficulty sleeping, sleepiness, an某iety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren’t serious enough to make most people stop taking it. However, if you are concerned about a side effect, or if you develop a rash（皮疹）, tell your doctor right away. And don’t forget to tell your doctor any other medicines you are taking.Some people should not take Prozac, especially people an MAO inhibitors（单胺抑制剂）.As you start feeling better, your doctor can suggest therapy or other means to help you work through your depression. Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly 10 years. But remember, Prozac is a prescription medicine, and it isn’t right for everyone. Only your doctor can decide if Prozac is right for you -- or for someone you love. Prozac has been prescribed for more than 17 million Americans. Chances are someone you know is feeling sunny again because of it.1.All the following are true EXCEPT ____.A.It is easy to get rid of depression through tremendous determination.B.Sleep disorder is characteristic of depression symptoms.D.Depression is a psychological state taking the form of low mood.2.What can we learn about Prozac from this piece of information?A.Prozac is a newly developed drug to treat depression.B.patients who take Prozac can e某perience severe side a effects.C.A medical prescription is necessary for Prozac.D.Over 17 million Americans have been cured by Prozac.3.This piece of information is most probably ____.A.an introduction to a scientific projectB.a part of prescription drug instructionsC.a part of a research report in a medical journalD.an advertisement of a medicine for depressionLearning a second language is tricky at any age (and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open that dusty French book).

Childre n’s brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they’re better able to adapt and respond to new information. “All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and children’s brains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.”1.The wor d “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaningto “____”.A.plungeB.riseC.endD.vary2.What can be inferred from Joshua Hartshorne’s words?B.Children are too young to grasp a second language.D.Adults go beyond the critical period for learning a second language.3.What might be the reason why adults can’t reach native - level fluency in a second language?A.Adults are less influenced by their mother tonguesB.Adults are only too willing to e某perience something awkward in the process.D.Adults prefer an immersive environment to a classroom in learning a second language.4.The passage is mainly about____.A.the approaches to learning a second languageB.the best age to learn a second language.C.why kids learn a second language more easily than adultsD.whether adults can learn a second language like their younger selves四、六选四Directions: Read the following passage.

We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent.If it’s not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our lives?It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For e某ample, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.Art also gives us insight into the world. History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can’t tell us howthe population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worded, because their art has given us much a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it.So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of is the art you see in galleries. Art is actually much more accessible and it truly needed in everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in thefuture an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form ofself-e某pression.六、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.学而不思犹如食而不化。

that表示"结果"，引导结果状语从句．35．why．本题考查的是上下文的逻辑关系．上文讲的是"成年人觉得这些游戏根本不令人兴奋"；所以下文讲的是成年人困惑（puzzle）"为什么（why）"孩子们一遍又一遍地玩这种游戏．所以本题用why引导的宾语从句作介词at的宾语．36．However．本题考查的是上下文的逻辑关系．上文讲的是"困惑"，下文讲的是"发现"，所以存在逻辑上的转折关系．however表示转折"然而"，往往有逗号与句子的其它部分分开，所以答案用However，but没有逗号与句子的其它部分分开，所以这里不用but．37．his．本题考查人称代词的选用．该题题干中turn是名词"顺序"，本题中表示"某人的次序"所以在名词turn前加形容词性物主代词，与句子主语he保持一致，所以用his．38．has caught．本题考查动词时态；因为文章讲的是一般情况，所以用于现在相关的时态；句中表示的是"已经捉住"，所以用现在完成时，所以答案是has caught．39．under．本题考查介词搭配．题干中运用了短语"under one's control"表示"在某人的控制下"，所以答案是under．40．more importantly．本题考查副词的比较级．题干中隐含了"everyone plays according to the rules"与"Everyone knows the rules"的比较，表示"遵守规则比知道规则更重要"；所以答案是more importantly．本文分析了孩子们的游戏特征．孩子们的游戏有它们的规则，但不需要裁判，也不需要记分．他们的游戏不在于比较能力，全凭运气．并且他们喜欢一个阶段一个阶段的游戏，子们却乐此不疲．据发现，孩子们玩游戏有一些重要的原因，他们可以成为好的游戏者，不需要考虑自己是否受欢迎；他们会发现自己对他人有用；当孩子们玩游戏时，他们想象一个受自己控制的情景．每个人都知道游戏规则，更重要的是，每个人都遵守游戏规则．那些游戏规则看起来也许孩子气，但是确保了每个孩子都有赢的机会．整体理解文章，关注上下文的逻辑关系和词语搭配．A century ago，American political leaders judged public opinions by people's applause and the size of crowds at meeting．This direct exposure to the people's views did not（41） ______ produce accurate knowledge of public opinions．It did，however，give political （42） ______ leaders in their public support．Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas（43） ______ each other seven times in the summer and autumn of

C．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为动词，且为动词过去式的形式，只有C和I，根据句意，林肯和道格拉斯在竞选中辩论了7次．所以选C．44 E．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为名词，根据句意，"在观众面前辩论"，所以选E．45I．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题比较容易出错，考生会误认为firsthand是形容词，然后找个副词来修饰．其实不然，在这里，firsthand是副词，前面be动词后要加动词的过去分词构成被动，根据句意，由于不直接面对观众，所以"民众的反映不可能被直接地感受到"所以选I．其实此题下一段有提示，47题空格后面"in their ability to experience public opinions"，这里出现了"体验民众的观点．46 H．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为形容词，根据句意"新闻媒体在给政界领导人提供民众的反馈信息方面却不是很高效"，所以选H．47K．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为名词，根据句意"为了弥补他们获得民众反馈的这种能力的下降，他们开始求助于民意调查"，所以选K．注意decline 在这里做名词用．48 A．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为形容词，根据句意"政界要员广泛使用民意调查来帮助他们决定…"make extensive use of"充分利用，广泛使用"．所以选A．49 B．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题有一定难度，判断词性为名词的复数形式，只有B为名词的复数形式．types of appeals to make，"所做出的各种的呼吁"make an appeal"呼吁、上诉"50 J．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为动词原形，根据句意"他开始从政界退出，因为民意调查报道他的公众支持减少"，所以选J．本文属于政治类短文阅读．主要描述了在政治领域，民众的掌声和人数并不一定能真正地反映出公众的观点．林肯和道格拉斯在竞选中辩论了多次，并通过调查民意的方式来了解民众的心声．本文属于11选10阅读题型．该题型选词填空的选项词义互不关联，词性也不同，而且还有干扰项，一定要先了解文章大意，带着文章脉络去找选项．务必先沉着地把文章读一遍，尤其注意横线前后的位置，为寻找正确选项打下铺垫．通读时要根据首段原则以及首末句原则，迅速抓出文章的主题．判定文章主题对于篇章的整体把握具有很大的积极意义．II、完形填空(本大题共15小题，共3.0分)Directions：For

D．unbelievable"令人难以置信的"．其他选项的含义分别是A．essential"必要的"；B．inconvenient"不方便的"；C．difficult"困难的"．64．【参考答案】C．考查动词的搭配．根据句意"他说我们竟然允许这么大的可能性让那时候正在规范无线电．所以答案是A．regulating"规范"．其他选项的含义分别是B．producing"生产"；C．providing"提供"；D．developing"发展"．本文讲述了在广播发展的初期，收音机不是作为一种服务而是一种设备，电台是由那些做无线电的人赞助的，甚至有杂志出钱奖励一篇回答了关于谁来支付广播的文章，不知道广播的出路在哪里．广告很晚进入收音机，而现在被广告所淹没．考查人文类阅读．在做完型填空是．要通览全文，把握大意通览全文目的是抓住文章的大意，了解全文的结构和基本内容，为下一步正确选择答案奠定基础．有人认为，看一篇满是空白的短文得不到什么信息，倒不如看一句填一空，这样节约时间一些．其实不然．考生只有在通览全文之后，才会成竹在胸，能够更快更准确地找出答案来．抓住第一句，预测下一句．III、阅读理解(本大题共16小题，共12.0分)AThe day began early．An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before．They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only，and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs．It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short，though crowded，period of noise．The morning came．Even before the morning，at half-past three o'clock，a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family．The number of the horns was most remarkable!It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns!"How many little boys are there？How many have we？"exclaimed Mr．Peterkin，going over their names one by one mechanically thingking he would do it，as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence，to put himself to sleep．The counting could not put him to sleep now，in such a loud noise．And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed!Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes，and the ceasing of the horns．Why did not the signal come？Why didi not Elizabeth Eliza stop them？And certainly it was long before sunrise；there was no dawn to be seen!"We'll not try this plan again，"said Mrs．Peterkin．"If we live to another Fourth，"added Mr．Peterkin，hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs．Alas!Amanda，by mistake，had waked up the little boys an hour too early．And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them．Mrs．Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day，and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before．This accounted for the number of horns．It would have been impossible to hear any explanation；but the five minutes were over，and the horns had ceased，and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet，explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight，that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drawning of the glorious day，the sunrise，or"the rising of the sons，"as Mr．Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities．42.According to the passage，which event happened first ______ ？A.Mr．Peterkin noted how many boys there were．B.The Peterkins were awakened by the boys．C.Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns．D.Mr．Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had．43.What did the7th paragraph talk about ______ ？A.The palce where the boys blew their horns．B.The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them．C.The way how the boys blew their horns．D.The reason why more horns were over there．44.The probable main idea of this passage is that ______ ．A.the little boys didn't carry out the agreement thoroughlyB.the little boys didn't see the signal to stop blowing their horns．C.the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July4th so early．D.the Peterkins enjoyed children's blowing of the horns on July4th．45.Which question is not answered in the story ______ ？A.When did the horn blowing begin？B.How long ago did the custom start？C.Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning？D.How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing？【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】66．B．细节理解题．根据第三段"Even before the morning，at half-past three o'clock，a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family．"可知，凌晨3点半，全家就被可怕的号角声惊醒．故选B．67．D．段落大意题．根据第七段最后一句的主题句"This accounted for the number of horns．"可知，this为代词，指代上文的内容，句意为"这就解释了这么多号角声的原因"．故选D．68．C．主旨大意题．根据第二段第二句"They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．"可知，前天晚上就说好，第二天日出时分，孩子们可以用吹号角的方式庆祝国庆节．故选C．69．B．细节理解题．根据第七段第一句"Alas!Amanda，by mistake，had waked up the little boys an hour too early．"可知，吹号角的时间被提前了一小时，回答了A选项when．根据第二段第二句"They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．"可知，孩子们吹号角庆祝国庆节，回答了C 选项why．根据最后一段…"the rising of the sons，"as Mr．Peterkin jokingly called it…可知，Peterkin先生开玩笑地说，回答了D选项how．只有B选项文中没有提到，故选B．全文大意前天晚上就和小男孩们说好，第二天日出时分，他们可以吹号角五分钟来庆祝国庆节．但是第二天凌晨3点半时，家人就被可怕的号角声惊醒．这号角声惊天动地，就如同每一头牛都起来了，在用它们头上的角吹奏着．Peterkin先生数着羊也无法让自己入睡，起来看看究竟是怎么回事．原来是Amanda提前了一小时把小男孩们叫了起来．另外小男孩们又邀请了三四个朋友在此过夜．全家人一直醒着直到外面的铃声和礼炮声宣告着荣耀之日清晨的来临，太阳的升起．Peterkin先生开玩笑地说："儿子们升起了"．解主旨大意题时可抓住文章的主题句，通常主题句都在文章的开端．BSettling in to life at OxfordWhen you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike（most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students．Another good thing to experience early on is college dining．Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor．In this way，you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls．Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website，and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100Faces．46.Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do ______ ？A.to find a best place to socializeB.to set up a bank accountC.to go to the Sheldonian TheatreD.to get mobile phone working47.When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University ______ ？A.They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus．B.They received the offer from the admission office．C.They met the staff and took some required courses．D.They experienced the matriculation in the university．48.Which is an orientation important for international students ______ ？A.It is a good chance to ask the staff for help．B.It offers practical information about living and studying．C.It helps get students'computers hooked to the Internet．D.It can help deal with the problem of culture differences．49."return the favor"in the passage probably means ______ ．A.inviting you for dinnerB.visiting your historic college in returnC.sharing favorite videosD.providing you with some good advice．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】A【解析】70．答案C 推理判断题．第一段的最后一句话Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike（most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．可以看出，只有C选项是没有包括在内的．所以C选项符合题干要求．故选C项．71．答案D 细节理解题．根据文章第二段最后一句话Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted tothe university可知，只有当学生经历了录取入学的开学典礼之后，才能够正式被录取．因此，D选项符合要求．72．答案B 细节理解题由第三段Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are…，可知，对于国际学生，可以提供住宿和学习信息．因此，B选项符合题干要求．73．答案A 推理判断题根据最后一段提到Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner可知很多大学有自己的学生邀请其他大学学生到自己学校吃饭的传统，所以是要回请，故选A项．本文讲述的是如何在牛津求学及求学的注意事项．社会文化类是英语阅读中常见的题材，掌握该类的英语阅读理解技巧十分重要．主旨大意题在历史文化类文章中是常考的题型．解答这类试题的英语阅读理解技巧：1．读首句抓大意．文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁，而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心，即主题句在文章开头．因此，要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句．2．读尾句抓大意．有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾，作为对全篇的总结．3．读首段抓大意．有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句．这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法．这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同，而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复．4．从段落中抓大意．有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中，这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题，在主题句出现后，再举例子陈述细节或继续论证．5．归纳要点抓大意．有些文章或段落无明显的主题句，只是暗示性地体现主题．这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意．CWhen

The problem is that“Googles”are very47in absolute terms.As a result,expectations become too optimistic, and future performance48.A model of stock prices in which investor beliefs follow this logic can account both qualitatively and quantitatively for the beliefs of analysts and the dynamics(动态变化)of stock returns.In related work,the authors also show that the same model can49booms and busts in the volume of credit and interest rate spreads.These works are part of a research project aimed at taking insights from cognitive sciences and at50them into economic models.Kahneman and Tversky's concept of“representativeness”lies at the heart of this effort.“In a classical example,we51to think of Irishmen as redheads because red hair is much more frequent among Irishmen than among the rest of the world,”Prof.Gennaioli says.“However,only10percent of Irishmen are redheads.In our work,we develop models of belief formation that show this logic and study the52of this important psychological force in different fields.”Representativeness helps describe53and behavior in different fields,not only in financial markets.One such field is the formation of stereotypes about social groups.In a recent experimental paper,Gennaioli and colleagues show that representativeness can explain self-confidence,and in particular the54of women to compete in traditionally male subjects,such as mathematics.A slight prevalence of55male math ability in the data is enough to make math ability un-representative for women,driving their under confidence in this particular subject.41.A.Consequently B.Furthermore

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 accordingto the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Montessori was born in Italy in1870with progressive parents,who frequently communicated with the country's leading thinkers and scholars.This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time.Her mother's support was vital for some important decisions,such as her enrolment in a technical school after her elementary education.Her parents'support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine,a field that was dominated by men.Soon after graduating,in1896,Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome,where she cared for children with learning difficulties.The rooms were bare,with just a few pieces of furniture.One day,she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs(面包屑)that had dropped on the floor.It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty.With the right learning materials,these and other young minds could be nurtured,Montessori concluded.The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing optimal stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.At its centre was the principle that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses.In addition,each child should also be allowed to move and act freely,and use their creativity and problem-solving skills.Teachers took the role of guides,supporting the children without press or control.Montessori opened her first Children's House in1907.When the Fascists(法西斯主义者)first came into power in Italy in1922,they initially embraced her movement.But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children's freedom of expression.Montessori's values had always been about human respect,and the rights of children and women,but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame.Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools'educational content,and in 1934Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy.She didn't return to her homeland until1947,and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in1952,at the age of81.56.The primary reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method was.A.her family's supportive influence on her educationB.her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinicC.her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happilyD.her decision to study medicine,a field dominated by men57.What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method as described in the passage?A.Providing standardized,one-size-fits-all learning materials.B.Encouraging strict discipline and control over children's actions.C.Focusing on rote memorization and competition.D.Creating a free and children-centered learning environment.58.Montessori decided to leave Italy in1934because.A.she wanted to explore other countries and culturesB.she wanted to avoid the Fascist's influence on her workC.she was offered a better job in a different countryD.she wanted to retire and enjoy a peaceful life in another country59.Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage?A.Observant and innovative.B.Traditional and emotional.C.Progressive and dependent.D.Open-minded and indifferent.(B)Reducing the workweek to four days could have a climate benefit.In addition to improving the well-being of workers,cutting working hours may reduce carbon emissions.But those benefits would depend on a number of factors,experts emphasize,including how people choose to spend nonworking time.Commuting and travelTransportation is the biggest contributor to greenhouse emissions.A November2021survey of2,000employees and500business leaders in the United Kingdom found that if all organizations introduced a four-day week,the reduced trips to work would decrease travel overall by more than691million miles a week.But the climate benefits of less commuting could be eliminated,experts said,if people choose to spend their extra time off traveling,particularly if they do so by car or plane.Energy usageShorter working hours could lead to reductions in energy usage,experts said.According to a2006paper,if the United States adopted European work standards,the country would consume about20percent less energy.Energy could also be conserved if fewer resources are needed to heat and cool large office buildings, reducing demands on electricity.For example,if an entire workplace shuts down on the fifth day,that would help lower consumption—less so if the office stays open to accommodate employees taking different days off.Lifestyle changesIt's possible that fewer working hours may lead some people to have a larger carbon footprint,but experts say research suggests that most people are likely to shift toward more sustainable lifestyles.One theory is that people who work more and have less free time tend to do things in more carbon-intensive ways,such as choosing faster modes of transportation or buying prepared foods.Convenience is often carbon-intensive and people tend to choose convenience when they're time-stressed.Meanwhile,some research suggests that those who work less are more likely to engage in traditionally low-carbon activities,such as spending time with family or sleeping.“When we talk about the four-day workweek and the environment,we focus on the tangible,but actually,ina way,the biggest potential benefit here is in the intangible,”experts said.60.What is identified as the leading cause of greenhouse emissions according to the passage?A.The well-being of employees.B.The conservation of energy.muting and travel.D.The European work standard.61.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence“the biggest potential benefit here is in the intangible”in the lastparagraph?A.People will have big potential in achieving intangible benefits while working.B.People are more likely to engage in carbon-intensive activities due to time constraints.C.People may shift toward more sustainable lifestyles and lower carbon footprints.D.People may travel more frequently by car or plane during their extra time off.62.The passage is mainly written to.A.highlight the importance of shortening working time in the context of well-beingB.provide an overview of transportation emissions worldwideC.analyze the impact of reduced working hours on mode of businessD.illustrate factors affecting the climate benefits of a shorter workweek(C)The cultivation of plants by ants is more widespread than previously realized,and has evolved on at least15 separate occasions.There are more than200species of an t in the Americas that farm fungi(真菌)for food,but this trait evolved just once sometime between45million and65million years ago.Biologists regard the cultivation of fungi by ants as true agriculture appearing earlier than human agriculture because it meets four criteria:the ants plant the fungus, care for it,harvest it and depend on it for food.By contrast,while thousands of ant species are known to have a wide variety of interdependent relationships with plants,none were regarded as true agriculture.But in2016,Guillaume Chomicki and Susanne Renner at the University of Munich,Germany,discovered that an ant in Fungi cultivates several plants in a way that meets the four criteria for true agriculture.The ants collect the seeds of the plants and place them in cracks in the bar k of trees.As the plants grow, they form hollow structures called domain that the ants nest in.The ants defecate(排便)at designated absorptive places in these domain,providing nutrients for the plant.In return,as well as shelter,the plant provides food in the form of fruit juice.This discovery prompted Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships to see if there are other examples of plant cultivation that have been overlooked.“They have never really been looked at in the framework of agriculture,”says Chomicki,who is now at the University of Sheffield in the UK.“It's definitely widespread.”The team identified37examples of tree-living ants that cultivate plants that grow on trees,known as epiphytes(附生植物).By looking at the family trees of the ant species,the team was able to determine on how many occasions plant cultivation evolved and roughly when.Fifteen is a conservative estimate,says Campbell.All the systems evolved relatively recently,around1million to3million years ago,she says.Whether the37examples of plant cultivation identified by the team count as true agriculture depends on the definitions used.Not all of the species get food from the plants,but they do rely on them for shelter,which is crucial for ants living in trees,says Campbell.So the team thinks the definition of true agriculture should include shelter as well as food.63.According to biologists,why is ant-fungus cultivation considered as a form of true agriculture?A.Because it occurred earlier than human agriculture.B.Because it fulfills the standards typical of agricultural practices.C.Because it redefines the four criteria for true human agriculture.D.Because it is less common than previously thought.64.What motivated Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships?A.They determined on new family trees of the ant species.B.They overlooked some tree-living ants that provided nutrients for the plants.C.They never studied the ant-plant relationships within the context of agriculture.D.They never identified any an t species that engaged in cultivation of fungi.65.Which of the following statements is supported by the team's findings according to the passage?A.Ants’cultivation of plants is limited to a few specific species.B.The cultivation of fungi by ants is considered the earliest form of agriculture.C.True agriculture in ants involves only food-related interactions with plants.D.Ants have independently cultivated plants on at least15distinct occasions.66.What is the passage mainly about?A.The evolution of ants in the plant kingdom.B.The widespread occurrence of ant-plant cultivation.C.The discovery of a new ant species engaging in agriculture.D.The contrast between ant agriculture and human agriculture.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.In the end,it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.B.Doppelgängers will also have some of the same DNA as you.C.To enter your workplace,you likely need to be recognizable.D.Why are people interested in finding their possible doppelgangers?E.Eventually,discovering a person's doppelgänger might widen trust boundaries.F.A doppelgänger was said to be a spirit-double that copied every human and beast on earth.What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you?Would it be a good thing?And if you did have one,would you want to meet them?Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you.Your passport,ID card and driving license all feature your face.67You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly even need it to exclude you from being present at a crime scene.The word‘doppelgänger’refers to a person who looks the same as you,essentially sharing your features; those that you thought were unique to you and your identity.Not identical twins,as a doppelgänger has no relation to you.The idea originated in German folklore.68So,let's get real.What are the chances of you having one in the first place?There's said to be a one in135 chance of an exact match for you existing anywhere in the world,so the chances are pretty low,despite folk wisdom promising you otherwise.And the chances of meeting?The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is supposedly less than one in a trillion.That said,these statistics may be a good thing.Historically,having a double wasn't always a positive.Back in1999,an innocent American man,indistinguishable from the real criminal,was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for19years.69.In a different case,a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelgänger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity!70The fascination with doppelgängers may be rooted in historical beliefs that facial resemblance meantthey were from the same family or had a common ancestor.It leads to the hope that one day you will meet your lookalike,creating the thrill of a potentially strange meeting.However,as these encounters can be both interesting and disturbing,we understand that after such an experience,you might not want to meet your doppelgänger again.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Competitive CheerleadingOver the years,cheerleading has taken two primary forms:game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading.Game-time cheerleaders'main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers,which should not be considered a sport.However,competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment.It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity.The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling(翻腾运动)ability.It's a very common thing for gymnasts,so it's easy for them to go into competitive ually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling,and overall energy.They also perform lifts and throws.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared.It is awarded points for technique,creativity and ually the more difficult the action is,the better the score is.That's why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides,there is also a strict rule of time.The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds,during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries.According to some research,competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women.Generally,these injuries affect all areas of the body,including wrists,shoulders,ankles,head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills.It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down.So without working together to achieve the goal,first place is out of reach.第Ⅱ卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following

But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather, powerful winds, and __45__ ocean currents in the city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.San Francisco __46__ first on Lonely Planet’s list of the best cities to visit in 2013.

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)On October 24,1929 —―Black Thursday‖—a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised ―a New Deal for the American people‖.Within the ―Hundred Days‖, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production, thus raising crop prices. The TennesseeValley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity, control floods and manufacture fertilizer. The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.The Social Security Act of 1935 established contributory old age and survivors’ pensions, as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures. Financed by taxes collected by the federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and other public buildings. It kept workers in the job, thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.The New Deal programs did not end the Depression. But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.66. According to the passage, ―Black Thursday‖ is the day ________.A. of selling stocksB. of reducing industrial productionC. the Great Depression beganD. the New Deal was implemented67. The New Deal is a number of laws ________.A. to make young people plant trees and build damsB. to aid state and local relief fundsC. to deal with workersD. to deal with economic problems68.

Roosevelt made his New Deal programs effective through ________.A. his presidential powerB. government taxationC. congress reputationD. government intervention(B)70. If a student wants to know what the homework assignments are, __________.A. Prof. Klammer announces them in classB. the student reads the list on the next pageC. Prof. Klammer gives a list every weekD. the student goes to the professor’s office71. A student who would like to attend the course by Prof. Klammer has to stay in 363 Marshall Hall______.A. from 11:15 to 12:30 on Monday, Wednesday and FridayB. from 10:10 to 11:00 on Tuesday and ThursdayC. from 3:35 to 5:00 on Monday, Wednesday and FridayD. from 3:35 to 5:00 on Tuesday and Thursday72.

The students can buy ―Introduction to American History‖ at the College Bookstore.D. Prof. Klammer advises her students to take notes in her class.73. If a freshman thinks that he might major in history, what is the maximum length of his paper can be?A. Fifteen pages.B. Twenty-five pages.C. Ten pages.D. No maximum.(C)On December 14, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space) blasted a small but mighty telescope into space. The telescope is called WISE and is about as wide around as a trashcan. Don't let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects in the known universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born."I'm very excited because we're going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven't seen before," said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project.Since arriving in space, the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth, held by gravity in a polarorbit(this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap (一圈).Its camera is pointedoutward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.The pictures taken by WISE won't be like everyday digital photographs, however. WISE stands for "Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer." As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of featuresthat give off infrared radiation (红外线辐射).Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spectrum of Light(光谱) that becomes visible in a rainbow, is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree, for example, it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, they're processed by the camera, which then puts the image together.Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras don't see them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space—but they absorb most of the light that reaches them. They don't reflect light, so they are difficult to see. But they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.Brown dwarfs(褐矮星)are another kind of deep-space object that will show up in WISE's pictures.These objects are "failed" stars—which means they are not massive enough to jump start the same kind of reactions that power stars such as the sun. Instead, brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down. They're so dim that they're almost impossible to see with visible light, but in the infrared spectrum they glow.74. What is so special about WISE?A. Its digital camera can help astronomers to see the unknown space.B. It is as small as a trashcan.C. It is small in size but carries a large camera.D. Never before has a telescope carried a digital camera in space.75. The camera on WISE ________.A. is not different from an ordinary cameraB. does not see infrared radiation while the ordinary camera doesC. reflects light that human eyes can seeD. catches the infrared radiation while the ordinary camera does not76. Which of the following is NOT correct about "asteroids" according to paragraph 7?A. Asteroids do not reflect light that reaches them.B. Asteroids float through space giving off visible light.C. It is difficult to take asteroids' pictures by ordinary cameras.D. The WISE telescope can take pictures of asteroids.77. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Brown dwarfs give off visible light.B. Brown dwarfs are power stars like the sun.C. Brown dwarfs give off infrared radiation.D. Brown dwarfs are impossible to see with the WISE telescope.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.From boy to manGrowing up on-screen for a decade as Harry Potter, 22-year-old Daniel Radellif has had to deal withtypecasting(角色定位)his whole career. However, in a new release called The woman in Black, thesuccessful child actor finally escapes J.K.Rowling’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the tale of a widowed lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decides to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty, followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路) going: demonic(恶魔的) dolls, rocking chairs,and the ghostly black-cloaked woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.“The woman in Black works because of Radcliffe,not in spite of him,‖he said. ―Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever.‖There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. ―It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift closer and closer into his eyes.‖ He told British magazine Total Film.For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.―It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching (倾注全力) yourself and learning.‖ Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.And he understands fame is fleeting. ―The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by[US writer] William Goldman. He said something like, ’Stars come and go, only actors last’.‖ he told the news website.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The movie The woman in Black is about ___________________________.79. Why does Kipps have to find a way to break the cycle of horror?80. How The woman in Black is successful is that it has been ___________________________.81. What does The woman in Blackmean mean for Radclliffe, the former Harry Potter star?第II卷（共47分）I.

However, in a new release called The woman in Black’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the taleof a widowed lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decides to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty,followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路) going: demonic(恶魔的) dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.“The woman in Black works because of Radcliffe,not in spite of him,” he said. “Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever.”There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift closer and closer into his eyes.” He told British magazine Total Film.For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.“It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching (倾注全力) yourself and learning.”Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.And he understands fame is fleeting. “The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by[US writer] William Goldman. He said something like, ’Stars come and go, only actors last’.” hetold the news website.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.

上海市各区2015届高三英语一模试卷分类汇编：回答问题专题Section CDirections: Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, "I know I was there; I saw it happen" and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?Take competitive sports for example. Most fans at sports events are always controlled by emotion, which leads to the fact that they will not agree with each other and even disagree with the referee although they watch the same game. "He was out of bounds when he caught the pass," says one fan. Another says, "You're crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind." The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced—because they were there!It's the same story in the courtroom. Trial (审判) procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony （证词）. But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses overestimated the man's height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair colour in 83 percent of the cases. These witnesses didn't play tricks on them!What can we do to keep error to minimum? Above all, don't let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don't see something because you want to see it. Another solution to the problem would, of course, be to note down what you see. Don't rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other aid, which will help a lot to reduce distortion. One more solution is also needed: The error is not likely to be minimized until the people involved stay relaxed. If you are tense, you are very likely to see red when the colour is blue.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. The reason why fans disagree with each other at sports events is that few of them_____.79. The word "them" in Para.3 refers to________.80. What are the other two solutions to keeping visual error to minimum besides not letting your emotions interfere with your vision?81. It can be inferred from the passage that the author takes sports events and courtroom as examples in order to illustrate ______.78. are not controlled by emotion79. the man's height, age and hair colour80. Nothing down what you see and staying relaxed.81. We can't completely trust the evidence of eyesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.On October 29, 1929, the United States stock market crashed. In the days that followed, banks and businesses closed, the number of the unemployed workers rose to 15million, and many people lost their savings. As the economic crisis wore on, it became known as the Great Depression. It left many people feeling anxious and uncertain about the future.Within days of his inauguration(就职典礼) in 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR) began taking steps to stabilize the banking system, support the economy, and provide jobs for unemployed workers. To keep the American public informed about the changes that were underway, he gave a series of radio addresses called fireside chats. FDR used these broadcasts to speak about a number of issues. Thefirst of Roosevelt’s fireside chats was delivered on Sunday, March 12,1933. His goal in this message was to explain the bank crisis in the United States.He explained to American why banks had run out of money. Roosevelt assured people that their money was safe and that they could get their money when they really needed it. He said that most of the banks would be open the next day and that others would be open again very soon. His message’s purpose was to restore American’s confidence in their banking system.Roosevelt’s chats to America were popular with the people. Many looked forward to hearing what FDR had to say. The White House did not always tell the public whether a particular radio address was to be regarded as a fireside chat. As a result, there is some question about the exact number of these speeches. Twenty-eight such addresses were definitely identified, and two other radio addresses could have also been chats.Roosevelt delivered his final fireside chat on June 12,1944. The focus was opening a fifth war-loan drive. He complimented the American people for supporting the war effort with the purchase of more than $32 billion of war bonds. He encouraged them to buy more as the war effort continued to cost money every day, money that he confidently predicted would lead to final victory.(Notes:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.______________ led to the Great Depression according to the passage.79. What’s the purpose of Roosevelt’s fireside chats?80. Roosevelt delivered his first fireside chat to assure people of _____________________.81.

Because they supported the war effort by buying war bondsSunshine might be healthier than most people think, outweighing the risk of skin cancer. British doctors suggested last week and ran straight into a storm. The four researchers at Bristol University in western England were accused of weakening years of campaigning to warn people of the dangers of too much sun. Experts agree exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays (紫外线) increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the signs of aging. But in the British Medical Journal, the Bristol team led by Andr ew Ness wrote, “There is evidence that the potential benefits of exposure to sunlight may outweigh the widely publicized negative effects on the incidence of skin cancer.”Vitamin D, made in the body in reaction to sunlight, prevented rickets (软骨病) in children and was associated with a protective effect against heart disease.Sunshine was also useful for treating certain skin conditions and there was evidence that it reduced the incidence of multiple sclerosis (硬化症). There was also the “feel good effect o f lying or sitting in the sun.” The researchers said it was too early to advise people to spend more time in the sun, but suggested the basis of the current advice to cover up should be reviewed.“Perhaps, while we await the conclusions of such formal ana lyses, those of us who enjoy spending time in the sun can rest assured that the chance that we will be one of the people dying from the sun is small.” they added.Their article was strongly criticized by health campaigners who claimed it was unbalanced an d not backed by scientific evidence. Britain’s Health Education Authority said skin cancer was the most common form of cancer in the country, with more than 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year and more than 2,000 people dying from the disease. It said treatment almost always required surgery and almost 50 per cent of cases were fatal. The authority’s skin cancer campaign manager Christopher New said, “We are very disappointed with this controversial article. It doesn’t have enough supporting evidence and runs the risk of undoing many years of good health education.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. According to the four researchers at Bristol University,______________________________ does more good than harm.79.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is .Though much theory has accumulated ,little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions, reason, and intuitions(直觉). But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L.Lowes, in his justly famous” The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question. Imaginative creation. He concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixingimages ,but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form , and with the vision, the controlling will ,which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas , feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision, an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows , silently seeking pattern and form. Finally, the conscious mind again, through will , captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos.Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似)，to someextent ,Lowes’s theory of well , vision , form and will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.In a sen se, the period of preparation is all of the writer’s life. It is the deep well. It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reaches thec onscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms. It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though not enough, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the vision, according to Lowes, that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words)78.John L. Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question of______________________.79._________________________are the four elements of John L. Lowes’ theory.80.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, and the foreigner who learns a new language--all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have , their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more changes and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground issafe. Do we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face or overcome these internal fears and doubt, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．78.Based on the two basic ways to view growth mentioned in the passage, “Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.”can be regarded as______________________________.79.The process of growth refers to ___________________________________,when people come across new experiences and obstacles.80.If someone is keen on learning anything new, he is likely to____________________________.81.________________________________________or too much self-protection may prevent us growing.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faul ts. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive t houghts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)78.T he self- help industry is based on _________________________________________.79.The finding of the Canadian researchers is that______________________________.80.From the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic, we knowthat__________________.81.From the last paragraph, we know that ___________________ may prove to be agood form of psychotherapy.Keys:78.the idea that you should turn negative thoughts into positive ones.79.Thinking more positively have a opposite effect.80.overly positive thinking doesn’t make people feel better.81.Meditation techniquesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

However, in a new release called The Woman in Black, the successful child actor finally escapes J.K. Rowling’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept 20, 2012, tells the tale of a widowed(丧妻的)lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe)who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’saffairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black.

More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has become the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the community of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a 2012 global ranking published by education company Education First - even though the use of English has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-2012survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79.

While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.“Two heads are better than one.”That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academicresources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to st udy. For example, some students tend to procrastinate(拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.Study groups work best when they are small , but not too small -four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture no tes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says “I read somewhere that...”, the source-seekers should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78.Many universities encourage students to take advantage of _________for better grades rather than learning alone.79.Peers are not only the best academic resources but also motivate each other to __________when learning in groups.80.According to paragraph 3, besides the small size, what are the other two factors that could help a study group work best?81.All the members in the study group will be assigned different roles because people believe that it will result in________.Keys:78.study groups79.work harder80.The same goal and specializing in the group81.maximizing the efficiencySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

He proposes that the caves were preserved for their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises.Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.Beside animal sounds, many anci ent cultures attributed thunder in the sky to ‘thunder gods,’ so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls.The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows statistically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment.。

She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours' gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.You risked your life to save the children.I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.How did you persuade parents to give up their children?I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get past the guards.What was the most frightening moment?When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.Did you tell your own two children what you did?I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.66. We can learn from the passage that Irena Sendler________.A. will go to Washington to accept the award with her daughterB. was caught a few times while she was rescuing the Jewish childrenC. told those parents that their children's lives would be guaranteedD. saved thousands of Jewish children at the risk of her own life67. The expression "everyone was drowning" can best be replaced by "________".A. everyone was involved in the warB. all the people were drownedC. all the people were facing danger and deathD. Jewish children were being killed68. Which one could NOT be expected when Sendler was smuggling the Jewish children?A. The children pretended to be brothers and sisters from one big family.B. Some children pretended to be returning home after visiting servants in the ghetto.C. The children were asked to remember and use new names instead of real ones.D. Some children were told to pretend to be sick in front of the guards.69.Which of the following is best for the blank in the title?A. DISASTER SURVIVORB. NOBLE SMUGGLERC. AWARD RECEIVERD. SECRET DEFENDERKeys: 66-69 DCABSection 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)In 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object in the sky. He thought it was an undiscovered comet. After further observation, he realized that it behaved more like a small planet than a comet. Piazzi named it Ceres after the Sicillian goddess of grain. Ceres remains the largest known asteroids（小行星）in the sky. It means almost 600 miles（1,000 km) in diameter. By the end of the nineteenth century, severalhundred other asteroids had been identified.Tens of thousands of asteroids have since been discovered, with thousands more found each year. Asteroids are masses of rock and metal that orbit（绕轨道而行）the sun between Mars and Jupiter. They did not form into planets because the perturbations of Jupiter kept them moving too fast to join together. The total mass of all of the asteroids is less than the size of Earth’s moon.Some of the asteroids move in orbits outside the zone between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids that come relatively close to Earth are known as near-Earth asteroids(NEAs). Scientists estimate that about 1,000 of these asteroids are 0.6 miles(1km) in diameter. An asteroid of this colliding（碰撞）with Earth would be disastrous.Scientists have found two sites where giant asteroids struck Earth millions of years ago. One asteroid hit Antarctica about 250 million years ago. Another asteroid struck Mexico’s Yucantan Peninsula around 65 million years ago, leaving a hole 112 miles(180km) wide and 1,000 yards (915m) deep. One theory blames the extinction of the dinosaurs on this asteroids’s collision with Earth and the climate change that resulted from its impact.Occasionally, small asteroids strike Earth. These cause little damage. Major collision, such as the one that may have killed the dinosaurs, occur rarely--perhaps only once every 100 million years.Although the chance of an asteroid striking the planet anytime soon is small, scientists continue to study the orbits of asteroids in the sky. They pay particularly close attention to the asteroids whose paths are close to Earth, and have even landed a spacecraft on an NEA named Eros. Their work helps them learn about the formation of the solar system. It may even help them discover ways to avoid an asteroid disaster in the future.66. Which of the following statement is NOT true about asteroids?A. Asteroids are composed of rock and metal.B. Asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter.C. Large near-Earth asteroids are sure to strike Earth.D. A large asteroid colliding with Earth would cause a disaster.67. The word “perturbations”(paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. Formation of rocksB. Disturbance of motionC. Estimation of scientistsD. Influences of size68. What scientists have found implies thatA. two sites of Earth hit giant asteroids millions of years agoB. Antarctica was once struck by an asteroid millions of years agoC. one asteroid left a huge hole in Mexico 250 million years agoD. the extinction of dinosaurs resulted in asteroid’s collision with Earth69. Which of the following events happened third according to the passage?A. Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object and name it Ceres.B. Scientists had a spacecraft land on Eros to learn more about the solar system.C. Asteroids orbiting the sun failed to form into planets.D. Several hundred asteroids had been identified by the end of the nineteenth century.Keys: 66-69 CBBDSection 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)Being a normal, healthy nineteen-year-old, Rhona was in the habit of falling asleep the moment her head touched her pillow and not wakening up again until her mother called her at seven-thirty.When she awoke that morning in the grey light of early dawn, she had no idea what had disturbed her. Then she imagined, or thought she imagined, a faint smell of smoke around her nostrils (鼻孔). What was strange, though, was the very fact that she was wide awake and, according to her bedside clock, it was only a quarter to four.She sat up, listening, alert. There was definitely a smell of burning. Rising quickly, she crossed to the window and opened it quietly, thinking it would be the remains of some garden bonfire. But it wasn’t. She saw smoke and flames billowing out of a downstairs window next door.Barefoot and in pyjamas, she ran first to her parents’ room, opening their door to call, “Mum! Dad! There’s a fire next door!”Downstairs in a flash, she hurriedly dialed 999 and gave her name and address in clear, brief tones. By the time she had finished, Graeme, her elder brother, was coming running downstairs.“You go to their front door—I’ll go to the back,” she said to him.As she banged on their neighbors’ back door, she could hear a child crying in fear. Without stopping to think, Rhona lifted the large doorstop and smashed it through a glass panel, put her hand in and turned the key which opened the door.Through the smoke she saw a drying screen hung with white washing and she grabbed at as many of the damp clothes as she could on her way past towards the stairs. Halfway up she met Mr Parker carrying the baby and she hurriedly gave him some wet towels before doing the same for Mrs Parker who was behind him leading two-year-old Clare by the hand.“Crouch down as low as you can,” Rhona directed them as she took the child’s other hand. Within a matter of seconds the family was safely outside.66. Rhona woke up early in the morning because_________.A. her mother called her for an emergencyB. she heard a baby crying in fear downstairsC. she smelt something burning in the airD. the alarm clock rang as she set it67. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Rhona, together with her brother, Graeme, went to the Parkers’ rescue.B. The Parkers escaped from the burning house together.C. Rhona broke into the house by back door after smashing the glass panel.D. Rhona covered her mouth with the damp clothes before entering the Parkers’.68. According to the article, Rhona can be best described as _________.A. alert and timidB. courageous and stressedC. panic and sympatheticD. decisive and responsive69. It can be inferred that when the fire broke out, _________.A. The Parkers were at a loss what to doB. Rhona had a good knowledge of survival skillsC. Rhona showed the Parkers a safe fire escapeD. Rhona’s parents helped to save the scared childrenKeys: 66-69 CDDBSection 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)The day began early.An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o’clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! “How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thinking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why did not Elizabeth Eliza stop them?And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! “ We’ll not try this plan again,” said Mrs. Peterkin. “If we live to another Fourth,” added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.It would have been impossible to hear any explanation; but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drowning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or “the rising of the sons,” as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.66. According to the passage, which event happened first?A. Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were.B. The Peterkins were awakened by the boys.C. Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns.D. Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had.67. What did the 7th paragraph talk about?A. The place where the boys blew their horns.B. The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them.C. The way how the boys blew their horns.D. The reason why more horns were over there.68. The probable main idea of this passage is that _______________.A. the little boys didn’t carry out the agreement thoroughlyB. the little boys didn’t see the signal to stop blowing their horns.C. the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July 4th so early.D. the Peterkins enjoyed children’s blowing of the horns on July 4th.69. Which question is not answered in the story?A. When did the horn blowing begin?B. How long ago did the custom start?C. Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning?D. How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing?Keys: 66-69 BDCBSection 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)Culturally speaking, America might be called a European colony. No other country whose origins lie in Europe has had so sharp an awareness of its distinction and superiority to the parent cultures. Running through American history, and therefore through American literature, is a double consciousness of Old World modes and New World possibilities. As American, the writer has distributed Europe; as writer, he has envied the riches available to his European Counterpart.In the nineteenth century some immigrants came in order to avoid military service in their homeland. But even so, the snowballing process had for most Americans a deep, almost legendary significance.In the legends, Europe was associated with the Past, with British red-coats at Concord, absentee landlords(不在的地主)，dynastic pride, hunger, poverty, oppression. America, by contrast, was the future: plenty, prosperity, freedom. For much of its history America has been a busy, restless land, more interested in innovation than in conservation(保守). Its people have been highly optimistic, setting great store by the ability of the individual to overcome obstacles. The individual has had a right to expect success. Optimism and pessimism mix unusually in American writing; Mark Twain is an obvious example. Or, the individual tends to set himself up in a dramatic relationship to society.Yet although American literature has revealed certain fairly permanent trends, it has not been a still affair. Its tone has changed from decade to decade.66. What does the underlined p hrase “the parent cultures” refer to?A. Culture of parentsB. Culture of EuropeC. Culture of BritainD. Culture of America67. What is the American writer’s attitude towards Europe?A. He hates Europe for its conversation, poverty and permission.B. He has no trust in Europe and is also jealous of its riches.C. He envies that all the Europeans are much richer.D. He believes that America is looked down upon.68. What is the main characteristic of the American writing?A. The description of a dramatic relation between the individual and society.B. The optimistic description of the Americans overcoming obstacles.C. The strange combination of optimism and pessimism.D. The ever changing of its characteristic from decade to decade.69. The main idea of this passage is about _____.A. a double consciousness in American literature.B. the European culture’s contribution to America literature.C. optimism and pessimism in America writingD. Americans can always overcome obstacles.Keys: 66-69 BBCASection 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)Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a“gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, antique restoration, archaeology and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excelle nt way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market res earch company also described the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily b log about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.66. Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ________.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research67. The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ________.A. it’s too early for people to accept the conception of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it’s difficult to fores ee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy68. What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “gap year”?A. Positive.B. DoubtfulC. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.69. What’s the passage mainly about?A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.Keys: 66-69 BDABSection BDirections: Read the following four 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)It’s a typically Snoopy card: cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now. Though I’ve received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one I’ve saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me.I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teen age daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbecues. Those had always been my husband’s jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldn’t get the lawnmower started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills.On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something.(I prayed it wasn’t another repair job.)The “something “turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlem ent must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughter’s bright faces.“Go ahead! Open them! “They urged. As I unwrapped the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it."But why?" I asked."Happy Father's Day!" they shouted together."Moms don't get presents on Father's Day". I protested."You forgot to open the card". Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Father's Day. "Because", the girls said, "you've been a father and mother to us. Why shouldn't you be remembered on Father's Day?"As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a "professional" dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love.The girls are grown now, and they still send me Father's Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didn't require any special tools at all—just a willing worker.66. By "it spoke volumes to me", (Para. 1) the mother in the story means the card______. A．conveyed significant meanings to her B．aroused great sorrow in herC．brought her pleasant feelings D．made her feel important67. After her husband’s death, the mother found it was the hardest to______.A. handle the emotional shockB. face the terrible lonelinessC. Keep harmony of the familyD. Fulfill a male role in the house68. The girls gave their mother a barbecue set probably because ______.A. It was what their mother wantedB.it was a pro per Father’s Day giftC. barbecue was their favorite foodD. they wanted their mother to barbecue69. Which of the following statements is true about the first Father’s Day card?A. It made the mother eager to get the latest toolsB. It praised the mother as a professional dadC. Its fancy design impressed the mother mostD. It showed the girl’s appreciation for their mother’s loveKeys：66-69 A D D DSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On October 24, 1929—”Black Thursday”—a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange. The Great Depression began. By 1932, thousands of banks and businesses had failed. Industrial production was cut in half, farm income had fallen by more than half, wages had decreased 60 percent, new investment was down 90 percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.The Republican president, Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse. So in the 1932 election, he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised “a New Deal for the American people”.Within the “Hundred Days”, Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy. The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production, thus raising crop prices. The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity, control floods and manufacture fertilizer. The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.The Social Security Act of 1935 established contributory old age and survivors’ pensions, as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures. Financed by taxes collected by the federal government, the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads, bridges, airports and other public buildings. It kept workers in the job, thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.The New Deal programs did not end the Depression. But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.66. According to the passage, “Black Thursday” is the day ________ .A. of selling stocksB. of reducing industrial productionC. the Great Depression beganD. the New Deal was implemented67. The New Deal is a number of laws ________ .A.to make young people plant trees and build damsB.to aid state and local relief fundsC.to deal with workersD.to deal with economic problems68.

However guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies。
