Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of __37__ land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to __38__ the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with __39__ which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been __40__. What next?The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become __41__. Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems __42__.From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must __43__ ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that __44__ his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to __45__ places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and __46__ shores.(B)NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, __47__ increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the __48__ of Martian resources, including oxygen.Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds （门槛）, each with __49__ challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.Earth Reliant explorations is __50__ on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed fo r human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of ti me, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.Next, we move into the Proving Ground, __51__ a series of missions near the moon called "cislunar space" to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) __52__ stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.Also in the 2020s, we'll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our __53__ for Mars.Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge __54__ on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the __55__ "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.There are challenges to __56__ Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Green Collar SectionWhat is ecotourism? According to the International Ecotourism Society, ecotourism can be defined as responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and __57__ the well-being of local people. That is to say, most ecotourism experiences are __58__ at helping people to foster an appreciation of the environment, the conservation of wildlife, plants and resources, and respect and understanding of native __59__.Ecotourism is socially important because it provides a way for people to travel responsibly, and to learn about and respect the environment of these natural places. Ideally, ecotourism professionals organize and __60__ an experience that demonstrates local environmental sustainability and cultural sensitivity for travelers.At the university level, ecotourism programs are usually found in environmental science and recreation management departments. Students learn basic knowledge about different __61__ of tourism (such as accommodation, transportation, business, organization, and hospitality) as well as conservational issues (such as __62__ protection for wildlife and rational __63__ of resources). And in more advanced programs, students will focus on nature-based education, such as and ecological issues. __64__, it is also helpful, and sometimes __65__, to be fluent in a foreign language, or students will not be able to hold a global insight. After graduation, it is also __66__ for students to receive further career training programs, such as Group Dynamics for Ecotourism, Green Event Planning, Natural Resource Assessment and Planning, Intercultural Communications, Wilderness & Remote First Aid, etc, in order to become better adaptable to the updating job requirement.As the threat to our planet __67__ in many communities, their inhabitants are becoming more interested in the natural world around them and in ways to conserve the environment. Ecotourism is growing at three times the __68__ of the tourism sector itself, and demanding more knowledgeable workers __69__ to sustainability.Jobs in ecotourism can be highly risky and adventurous, but also limited by season. Green travel employes generally work for private companies, government and pubic institutions, andnonprofits. Salaries in ecotourism __70__ from field to field, but it helps to have a degree and some experience. Group leaders and travel guides are responsible for guiding tours through the ecosystems of various destinations __71__ pointing out the benefits of green travel and a green lifestyle. Leaders and guides come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many will have experience in the tourism industry, while some will be scientists looking for positions in education.57.

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

But she had insisted that I come see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I'd gone to o far to turn back. Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway."I'll stay for lunch, but I'm heading back down as soon as the fog lifts," I announced when I arrived."But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car" Carolyn said. "Could we at least do that?""How far is it?" I asked."About three minutes," she said. "I'll drive - I'm used to it."After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. "I thought you said three minutes."She grinned. "This is detour（绕道）."Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.Then we turned a corner and stopped - and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across folds and valleys, were rivers of daffodils in radiant bloom. A profusion（大量）of color - from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most v ivid salmon - blazed like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center there was a waterfall of purple flowers. Here and there were coral - colored tulips. Western bluebirds frolicked（嬉戏）over the heads of the daffodils, their tawny breasts and sapphire wings like a flutter of jewels.A riot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking."The first answer was: "One Woman - Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could scarcely speak. "She changed the world," I finally said, "one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."The wonder of it would not let me go. "Imagine," I said, "if I'd had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?"Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said."Better yet, start today."80. The passage is mainly about _________.A. a successful gardenerB. an inspiring gardening lessonC. a worthwhile travelling experienceD. an unexpected countryside landscape81. The author gasped in amazement because _________.A. the road twisted and turned along the mountainB.the fog crowning the mountain lifted eventuallyC. the owner of the field came to answer her questionsD. the vast stretch of daffodil field took her breath away82. What can be inferred from the story?A. The beautiful daffodil field was all along the road.B. The author and her daughter planned the journey well.C. The owner of the field spent a lot of time working in the field.D. The author planned to work in the daffodil field the next day.83. What lessons did the author learn from this trip?A. East or west, home is best.B. It is never too old to learn .C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Rome is not built in a day.(D)Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists（考古学家）says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their"deep and widespread concern" about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance."Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice," they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have be en granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologists at Sheffield University, said: "Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out his problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer."The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.84. According to the passage , scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _________.A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchC. it was introduced by the government without their knowledgeD. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains85. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at HappisburghC. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.86. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remainsB. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857C. The law on human re mains hasn't changed in recent decades.D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law87. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.II 卷Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Living a Life Full of Wild AdventuresHelen Skelton was brought up on a remote farm, and her family wasn't full of "runners and rock climbers". However, she has since travelled the world on (1) _________ series of record breaking adventures.

She believes adventure is a leveller - an activity (4) _________ men and women are equal. Adventures (5) _________ also be educational. Skelton says when you're at the mercy of the elements you have to adapt and be flexible, which is a great lesson for life.Of all the places she (6) _________ (be) to, Skelton says the South Pole was particularly hard. "It's like living in a freezer. It's the windiest, driest, coldest place on Earth." Skelton explains, "You can't even put up your tent, which is your only shelter, (7) _________ putting on huge gloves, otherwise you'll get a frostbite. (8) _________ (put) up a tent in oven gloves isn't easy."Her advice to any aspiring adventurers would be to "not worry about (9) _________ comments other people might make. When I said I'm going to kayak the Amazon, people told me that's madness. And, if I had listened to them, I never would have done (10) _________ of it. So just try."(B)Monocle reaches Sconser, on Scotland's remote northern Isle of Skye, late on a dreary Thursday afternoon. A van decorated with the image of a scallop（扇贝）(11) _________ (park) outside a white-washed house on a slope overlooking Loch Sligachan - it's a sign that we've reached the right place.David made the permanent move to Skye in (12) _________ early twenties and soon hit upon the idea of farming scallops.

"We had to prove our intervention was going to benefit the natural habitat of the bay, and (14) _________ we were going to be caretakers of the ecosystem," says David. The area remains open (15) _________ anybody for passage and fishing, but his prized scallops must not be disturbed.The next morning we head to the shore to meet David's son Ben, who is busy unloading bags of fresh shells - 350 at Ben's best guess. He's just helped his father to unzip his heavy wetsuit. Ben's first shop is Portree (the island's biggest town) and a restaurant called Dulse & Brose. "Everything。

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

Previous studies have shown that the rocks were (36) down between 2.15 and 1.95 billion years ago.Experts gave the fossils a cautious (37) .It is reasonable that they are eukaryotes, says Malgorzata Moczydtowska-Vidal at Uppsala University in Sweden. “I could go for them being eukaryotic,” says Anette Hogstrom at the ArcticUniversity of Norway.However, the (38) is solely based on the shapes of the fossils, says Yuangao Qu at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sanya.“If more geochemical data could be obtained, it would be more (39) ."If confirmed to be eukaryotes, the fossils are arguably the oldest known. Previously the oldest (40) eukaryotes were around 1.5 billion years old.Some researchers have claimed to have found (41) older eukaryotes: one 2017 study reported fungi, which are eukaryotes, in rocks 2.4 billion years old. However, these older microfossils are rare and poorly (42) , and it isn't clear that they are really eukaryotes, says Hogstrom.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Raise a Resilient KidLife is unpredictable but resilience gives us the ability to thrive in both good times and difficult ones. It means being able to carry on when faced with emotional or physical challenges and (44) to changing circumstances. (45) , resili ence is not a trait you’re born either with or without. It is a skill set you can help your kids learn so they can use it for the rest of their lives.1.Embrace second, third, and last placeNo one is the best at everything or needs to be. "When you learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, that’s a major step to thriving in the world," says Kenneth R. Ginsburg, M.D., the codirector of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the (46) of books including Building Resilience in Children and Teens. The best way to help kids with that lesson: “Let them explore and even (47) sometimes,”says Katherine Rosenblum, Ph.D., a clinical and developmental psychologist at the University of Michigan. The key is to (48) the effort it takes along the way so they’ll see the inherent value of hard work (49) the prize at the end. “It’s not about celebrating successes or academic achievements—we’re talking about celebrating the (50) we want our kids to have and the way we want them to behave,” Dr. Ginsburg says. Praise your child for trying out for the school play before you know the results; show support for baseball practice, not just games. 2.Let kids process (51) feelingsIt’s hard to see your child upset when he or she makes a mistake at a recital or a sports game or has a conflict with a peer. (52) , experiencing and working through tough emotions helps kids develop the ability to tolerate them down the road. Your support is essential. Let kids feel sad, angry, and disappointed sometimes, says Dayana Jimenez, Psy. D., a New York City-based clinical psychologist who (53) in working with children. If they start learning to manage those feelings in little bouts along the way, they’ll be better equipped to (54) the stress of bigger disappointments later.3.Encourage kids to help othersIn the (55) times, resilience might require reaching out to another person and asking for a helping hand. Developing social skills early is (56) _ to being able to ask for the help we will all need at some point. Dr. Ginsburg says. By (57) and helping others, kids learn how good it feels to be on the giving end; then, when they’re in a position to be on the receiving end, they won’t feel (58) to ask.44.

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)Thousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a new large•scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's data collection efforts. “This is a market failure,” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have u ncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1,000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for children's apps. The researchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data security measures laid out by COPPA.Some of the apps in question included Disney's “Where's My Water？”, Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPA compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law,” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws,” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are taking the researcher's report very seriously and looking into their findings”, critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data tracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was able to generate revenues off of children's apps,” said Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing_its_nose_at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”59.Which one of the following statements is wrong according to the second paragraph?A.The potential violations came in the same form.B.The quantity of the potential violations of COPPA was very large.C.Many children’s apps use tracking software to collect private i nformation.D.Some children’s apps fail to use standard data security measures laid out by COPPA.60.How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?A.Disney claimed to strictly obey privacy laws.B.Gameloft questioned the validity of the study.C.Duolingo planned to adopt strict data collection policies.D.Google admitted to the charge and promised to do more.61.What does the underlined phrase “thumbing its nose at” probably mean?A.observing.B. disrespecting.C. prohibiting.D. introducing.62.The purpose of the passage is to ．A.charge app companies with the violation of COPPArm readers of different ways to violate child privacy lawsC.illustrate the growing criticism of app's data collection functionD.highlight the urgency of strengthening enforcement of COPPA(B)When Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his only dream was that he could play outside.Brody was born premature at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he can't spend any time outside and he'll get burn blisters (水疱) on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of things he can't do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody can't eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I can't even count the number of surgeries he's had since he was born,” Brody's mother said. “He's spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brody's request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manage r of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brody's home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make thetent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go in to water because of his backpack. So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids’ pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like he's out at the beach.Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when Brody says ‘Can I go out and play?’, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time "outside” in the tent.It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could.63.What can we learn about Brody?A.He can't communicate with others.B. He can't stand on his feet.C. He can't be given surgeries any more.D. He can't be exposed to sunlight.64.Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream wasA.inspiring and heart-warmingB. simple but incredibleC. challenging but worthwhileD. difficult and unachievable65.Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?A.To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.B.To prove that the design company was responsible.C.To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.D.To emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest.66.What does the story mainly tell us?A.One good turn deserves another.B. Tough life experience may result in success.C.A helping hand makes a difference.D. All things are difficult before they are easy.(C)The year 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines which offer immunity(免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an internationaleffort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.67.What do we know about the influenza in 1918?A.It swept across the whole Europe.B. It killed the largest number of people.C. No one survived the first few days.D. It struck only young and healthy people.68.Why is influenza difficult to protect against?A.It spreads too rapidly.B. It is quite easy to catch.C. It’s hard to judge the form of virus.D. No vaccine is available.69.What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N1 in 2009?A.The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.B. It was the most serious in recent years.C. It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.D. New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.70.What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?A.The development is quite costly.B. It can protect against all forms of flu.C. It will be used all over the world.D. It will soon come into use in 2019.(D)Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate."The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades."This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success, " said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops. "71.What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A.The contributors to children's early attention.B.The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.C.The predictors of children's academic success.D.The determinants of children's development of social skills.72.What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A.Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B.Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.C.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D.There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.73.What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A.They care less about grades.B. They are teachers' favorites.C. They are easy to get on with.D. They do better academically.74.What can we conclude from the Duke study?A.Children's success is related to their learning environment.B.School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C.Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D.An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.第II 卷(60’)Section A (20’)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

But the martial art is becoming popular among younger adults too. “We call our students seniors in training, (2) the more you do it, the more it will prepare you as you age" says David Goldberg, leader of the Tri-State Branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society.

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

Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The American Craftsman style is a type of design. It was popular from 1900 to the 1930s. It changedthe style of building in the United States.The craftsman style originally began in Europe. The British Arts and Crafts style arose in the 1860s.The unique designs of this movement tried to offer dignity to the common person. Handmade items werepreferred because they were thought better than items that were mass-produced. But this British style wasstill Victorian. It still only served the wealthiest clients.In 1897 a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to America. They planned ashow of craft objects, which turned out to be a huge success. Here they realized the potential andestablished the Society of Arts and Crafts on June 28, 1897. Its slogan was"to develop and encouragehigher standards in the handicrafts”.The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending. It emphasized handmade work. Originalityand simplicity were highly valued. Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important. These traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally. They were also very elegant.The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian opulence. The increase of mass-produced housing items wasrejected. The American Craftsman used clean lines. It also relied on sturdy structure. Natural materialswere always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home. New designs were made forfamilies without servants. This was a trait of the new middle class. The kitchen went from being a hiddenroom to a prominent one. Another development was the breakfast nook. This new area provided thefamily with a place to gather at any time of day.Also, inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs. The AmericanCraftsman style led to the Art Deco movement of the 1930s.84. According to the passage, the American Craftsman style is a type of _________A. Shaker and Mission design.B. house made for families with servants.C. design which was popular from 1900 to the 1930s.D.breakfast nook.85. According to Para. 6, all the following are true about the American Craftsman style EXCEPT __________A. The breakfast nook provided the family with a place to gather.B. The kitchen became a more prominent room.C. This style did not make any changes to the middle-class American home.D. Houses were designed for a new middle class with no servants.86.

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

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health/, But 66 some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter docs _67_ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption.

ConverselySection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are lour choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious （勤勤恳恳的）way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P. for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able io sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a belter job. a raise, praise-many people are still unable—or unwilling—to "play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative （工计的）behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at I lofstra University. 4*But politics derives from the word ’polite'. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.^ In fhet, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many eases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well."The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perlorm well on a consistent basis,”' says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “B ut if two or three candidates are up ibr a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote ihc person he or she likes best. Ifs simple human nature."Yet, psychologists say. many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery （奉承）.fearful that, if they speak up fbr themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss fbr favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need fbr some self-promotion.81.. “Office politics” （Line 2, Para. 4） is used in the passage to refer to.A）t he code of behavior ibr company staffB）the political views and beliefs of office workersC）the interpersonal relationships within a companyD）the various qualities required for a succcssfiil career82.To get promoted, one must not only be competent but .A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83.Why are many people unwilling to “play the game', (Line 4, Para. 5)?A)They believe that doing so is impractical.B)They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C)They arc not good at manipulating colleagues.D)They think the eftbrt will get them nowhere.84.The author considers office politics to be.A)unwelcome at the workplaceB)bad for interpersonal relationshipsC)indispensable to the development of company cultureD)an important factor for personal advancement85.It is the author's view that.A)speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB)self-promotion docs not necessarily mean flatteryC)hard work contributes very little to one's promotionD)many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery(B)As Artificial Intclligencc(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there arc growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it's necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot docs chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to pul the pci cat in the oven to make dinner tor the hungry children. "You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values/' said Russell.Some robots arc already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there arc cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They arc dangerous only if programmers arc careless.The biggest concem with robots going against human values is that human beings foil to so sufficient testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo (禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, wc go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what wc believe in morak and how to create a set of ethical Riles. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86.What docs the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)lt can be avoided if human values arc translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87.What would wc think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author4?A)They are aggressive.B)Thcy arc outgoing.C)Thcy arc ignorant.D)They are ill-bred.88.How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89.What will a well-programmed robot do when Hieing an unusual situation?A)kcep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufiicient testing before taking action.90.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Dctcnninc what is moral and ethical.B)Dcsign some large-scale experiments.C)Set Riles for man-inachine interaction.D)Dcvelop a more sophisticated program.【参考答案】01-10 BDCBA BBCAD11-20CBAAB BBACC21-30BADDACBCCD31-40ABACB ABCBC41-50DABBC CCCDC：51-55 BDABC56-65 KJ Dill CEAFB66-80 A DBDB ADABABADAB 81-90 ACDCB CDCBA。

Here are some of the museum’s most moving moments.The Olympic ParkThe journey through the Olympic Museum begins in the Olympic Park, an 8,000-square-meter outdoor area in front of the museum overlooking Lake Geneva and theAlps. The park contains artwork and sculptures that show respect to the world of sport.The first Olympic SymbolThe “Olympic Rings” flag was designed by Coubertin in 1913. The rings represent the five continents that participate in the Olympics: Africa, Asia,America,AustraliaandEurope. The six color1 s include at least one color1 that is represented on the flag of every country.The StadiumsThe stadiums that host the Olympic Games are as much of a celebration of design as the games are a celebration of sportsmanship. Guests can explore plans and models of Olympic stadiums’ past and present, including one of the games’ most attractive stadiums, the Bird’s Nest from Beijing 2008 Olympics.The Olympic MedalsHave you ever wondered what an Olympic medal looks like? The Olympic Museum has a room that houses every bronze, silver, and gold medal from every Olympic Games dating back to the first modern Olympics of 1896.

What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?A. It helps people do some gardening .B. It waters the plants through dancingC. It helps indoor plants get proper sunlightD. It carries the potted plant with its hands5. What does the author try to show through Paragraph 3?A. The way plants spend their whole livesB. The common way people deal with plantsC. The difference between plants and humansD. The cause of making the indoor plants’ helper.6. What does Sun Tianqi try do using this technology?A. To develop gardening skills.B. To draw people’s attention plantsC. make plants experience moveD. study the living conditions of plants7. What can be the best title for the text?A. A New Market for robotsB. An Indoor Plants’ HelperC. An Important Development in GardeningD The Tendency of Gardening in the FutureCI got my first bike when I was nine years old. Jimmy, the bike, was my first love. I rode it everywhere. The suburb, the back lanes, the fields and forests, the river paths and swampland were far more exciting than any adventure novel or television series.There’s nothing quite like the relationship between a child and his bicycle and the endless happiness two wheels and a pair of strong legs offer. No video or computer game can replace the liberation of being alone on a bicycle.As parents, to deny children the simple pleasure of riding a bike is a failure of our responsibilities to raise independent and stable young citizens. We should offer our children a healthy alternative to hours in front of an addictive screen. Studies have shown that cycling promotes not only muscle growth but brain growth. Guess which country has children with the best mental health outcomes and is regularly the top of listings of the happiest young people. No surprise it’s theNetherlands, the unquestioned leader among industrial countries in encouraging bicycle use.Our dependence on cars has degraded the public transport system, polluted our sky, led to the untimely death of thousands every year, and denied children safe access to their suburbs. A recent study found that 69% of children were accompanied to school. The same study found that a similar number of parents drove to work.In some regions ofJapan, when children start their first year of school, parents are expected to walk with them for the first few weeks, introducing them to residents and shopkeepers along the chosen route, letting thecommunity take care of these children. However, driving children to school isproscribed. Children can choose to ride a bike or walk to school after they are familiar with the community, and it’s the community’s role to keep them safe.Therefore, I strongly advise the government to provide better infrastructure (基础设施). Build separated cycle lanes, decrease speed limits, and design street scapes that favour people over cars. The results will be less pollution, quieter suburbs, a healthier population and, best of all, happy and independent children.8. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He was addicted to computer games.B. He liked taking adventurous trips in nature.C. He had great fun exploring the outside by cycling.D.He got his first birthday present at the age of nine.9. Why does the author mention theNetherlandsin Paragraph 3?A. To introduce his good way of raising independent children.B. To illustrate the great influence riding has on mental health.C. To stress the importance of being physically and mentally healthy.D. To explain cycling does best in city development in theNetherlands.10. What does the underlined word “proscribed” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Recommended.B. Protected.C. Delayed.D. Forbidden.11. How does the author mainly support his idea?A. By analyzing causes.B. By listing examples.C.By giving definitions.D. By analyzing scientific data.DAsk a classroom of children to draw a scientist, and you’ll see plenty of color1 ed lab coats and glasses. The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s.“That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.12. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?A. A man with long curly hair.B. A woman with lab glasses.C. A woman in a formal lab suit.D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.13. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?A. The improvement of women^ social status.B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.C. More female scientists appear in the media.D. The increasing number of female scientists.14. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Belief.B. Idea.C. Habit.D. Growth.15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC. some children are born with certain stereotypesD. most children tend to prefer female scientists第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年上海交通大学附属中学高三英语下学期期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________，"A. on one's ownB. at no timeC. at the same timeD. by accident2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .A. saving timeB. a shortened attention spanC. lower grades at schoolD. depression and anxiety3. Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A. Media multitasking is becoming more popularB. Multitasking shrinks the brainC. Multitasking may shorten attention spanD. People are worried about their memories.BGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.4. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?A. Losing their living areas.B. Too many natural enemies.C. The extreme climate changes.D. Being hunted in great numbers.5. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Rather difficult.B. Against the law.C. Totally normal.D. Conditionally allowable.6. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?A. They have a much larger population already.B.

Now, researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer, charcoal (碳) and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. “Maybe within a few generations”, study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that oncepopulated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find — their neighbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their s “from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported. The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality (兽性) or sub-humanity”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress, according to the study.8. What does the study mainly focus on?A. The social behavior of Neanderthals.B. The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals.C. The climate change in southeasternFrance.D. The influence of global warming on ancient animals.9. What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeasternFrance120,000 to 130,000 years ago?A. It was no warmer than it is today.B. It was first warm while later cold and dry.C. Its change was mild and went through quite a long process.D. Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism.10. Which of the following might the study authors agree with?A. Neanderthals’ cannibalism showed their bestiality.B. Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive.C. Neanderthals’ cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes.D. Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history.11. Where can you most possibly find this passage?A. In a science journal.B. In a travel brochure.C. In a history book.D. In a geography book.DBrian Hamilton's life changed in a prison when he went there with his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do ministry work. During the visit,Hamiltonstarted talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,”Hamiltonrecalls. “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation madeHamiltonconsider how to help those who came out from prison. Finally in 2008, 16years after that initial conversation,Hamiltoncreated Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses.At the time,Hamiltonwas building his own company, a software technology company for the banking industry. As his company grew, so didHamilton’s time devoted to giving lessons to prisoners. He averaged three to four courses a month at prisons throughoutNorth Carolina.Eventually,Hamiltondecided to shift his focus to his true passion. In May 2019, he sold his company and focused on helping those who were imprisoned. His online courses will be set next year. “By March 1, 2022, anyone will be able to access the courses, either to become a certificated instructor or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,”Hamiltonexplained. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the course to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.The free course is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they return to civilian life and provides loans o small businesses. “Starting up a business isn't for everyone, but if we make opportunities available, and let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”Hamiltonsaid.12. Why did Brian Hamilton went to a prison?A. He accompanied his friend.B. He took lessons in the prison.C. He wanted to get a job in the prison.D. He had a friend who was in prison.13. What can be inferred about Inmates to Entrepreneurs?A. It often assists military members.B It provides loans to small businesses.C. Its course has been largely broadened.D. It is an organization intended for business men.14. According to the author, which of the following best describesHamilton?A. He is a man who always changes his mind.B. He has a sense of social responsibility.C. He is good at running a big company.D. He makes money by giving lessons.15. What is the main idea of the text?A.

Handmade items were preferred because they were thought better than items that weremass-produced.But this British style was still Victorian.It still only served the wealthiest clients.In1897a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to American.They planned a show of craft objects,which turned out to be a huge success.Here they realized the potential and established the Society of Arts and Crafts on June28,1897.Its slogan was“to develop and encourage higher standards in the handicrafts.”The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending.It emphasized handmade work. Originality and simplicity were highly valued.Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important.these traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally.They were also very elegant.The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian Opulence.The increase of mass-produced housing items was rejected.The American Craftsman used clean lines.It also relied on sturdystructure.Natural materials were always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home.New designs were made for families without servants.This was a trait of the new middle class.The kitchen went form being a hidden room to a prominent one.Another development was the breakfast nook.This new area provided the family with a place to gather at any time of day.Also,inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs.The American Craftsman style led to the Art Deco Movement of the1930s.64.According to the passage,the American Craftsman style is a type of________.A.Shaker and Mission designB.house made for families with servantsC.design which was popular from1900to the1930sD.breakfast nook65.According to Para.6,all the following are true about the American Craftsman style EXCEPT ________.A.The breakfast nook provided the family with a place to gather.B.The kitchen became a more prominent room.C.This style did not make any changes to the middle-class American home.D.Houses were designed for a new middle class with no servants.66.The word opulence in the passage is closest in meaning to________.A.richnessB.greedC.uglinessD.distaste(B)Are You a Morning Person?Mornings are not for everyone.Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief.But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours.So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts–from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros—to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant(for)even the most after-hours of night owls.1.Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four.“It’s normal to have one or two awakenings,but more than that leaves us feeling groggy in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,”[explains Shelby Harris,director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.]2.The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good.Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep!Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time.Instead,be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of shuteye,so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3.Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on-checking e-mail,scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first.“Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done,but it also leaves you with a burst ofaccomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,”says Jason Selk,co-author of Organize Tomorrow Today.4.Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely to need a break anyway,and save the morning for the important stuff.Specialized Termlife organizational pro(n)生活管理达人someone who is an expert at helping others bring balance and order into their livesVocabulary Focustap(v)[tæp]to get or make use of somethinggroggy(adj)[‘gragi]weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly,usually because of tiredness or illnessshuteye(n)[‘ʃʌtai]sleepplow through(something)(phr v)to finish reading,eating or dealing with something with difficulty67.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.B.To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C.To help us to get the most out of our mornings.D.To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.68.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B.To be an early bird,better forget about the snooze button.C.Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.D.It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.69.Where can we find the passage?A.Health SectionB.Travel BrochureC.Life and StudyD.Scientific Journal(C)In some countries where racial prejudice is acute,violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned.There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force;there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men,get up and calmly argue in favor of violence---as if it were a legitimate solution,like any other.What is really frightening,what really fills you with despair,is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻),we have made no actual progress at all.We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint,but our instinct remain basically unchanged.The whole of the recorded history of the human race,that tedious documentation of violence,has taught us absolutely nothing.We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute.The sheer horror,the bloodshed(流血),the suffering mean nothing.No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing.They are despised mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行).If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos,at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all,we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.Our strength is sapped by having to mop to the mess that violence leaves in its wake.In a well-directed effort,it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme.The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us.Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible,providing we work within the framework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races,we must appreciate each other’s problems.And to do this,we must learn about them:it is a simple exercise in communication,in exchange information.“Talk,talk,talk”the advocates of violence say,“all you ever do is talk,and we are none the wiser.”It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge.After listening to a lengthy argument,the judge complained that after all this talk,he was none the wiser.“Possibly,my lord,”the barrister replied,“none the wiser,but surely far better informed.”Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom:the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.70.What is the best title for this passage?A.Advocating Violence.B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race PrejudiceC.Violence as a Legitimate SolutionD.Violence:The Instinet of Human Race71.Recorded history has taught us_______.A.violence never solves anythingB.nothingC.the bloodshed means nothingD.everything72.It can be inferred that truly reasonable men________.A.can’t get a hearingB.are looked down uponC.are persecutedD.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement73.“He was none the wiser”means_______.A.He was not at all wise in listeningB.He was not at all wiser than nothing beforeC.He gains nothing after listeningD.He makes no sense of the argument74.According to the author,the best way to solve race prejudice is______.A.low enforcementB.knowledgeC.nonviolenceD.mopping up the violent
