AThere are one billion homeless people living in our world toda y. The Homeless World Cup exists to end this, so we all have a home, a basic human need.The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international football t ournament(联赛), uniting teams of people who are homeless to take a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country and change their lives forever. It has inspiredand supported over 50 grass roots (基层的) football projects around the world working with homeless people throughout the year.The first tournament took place in Graz 2003 uniting 17 national teams. At the 5th Homeless World Cup in Copenhagen in 2 004, 48 nations, 500 players were united for a once in a lifeti me opportunity to represent their country. 25,000 players wer e involved in pre-tournament training and trials around the world.The Homeless World Cup is full of players with courage, spirit and determination. Research shows that 73% of players cha nge their lives for the better after the international tournament by coming off drugs and alcohol, moving into jobs, education, homes, training, reuniting with families and even going on to b ecome players and coaches for professional or semi-professional football teams. David Duke (Scotland) played in 2004, came off alcohol, passed his coaching qualifications (资格). He became assistant coach for Scotland 2005, coach in 2 006 and now owns his own home. The best goal scorer in 200 4 Yevgen Adamenko (Ukraine) went on to play in a profession al club in Ukraine.The Homeless World Cup supporters include Nike, UN, Manc hester United, Real Madrid and international footballers Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand.21．The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to _________ _.A. find a home for homeless peopleB. collect money for homeless peopleC. help the homeless kick bad habitsD. help the homeless start a new life22．Which of the following statements is true about the Cope nhagen Homeless World Cup?A.

To inspire people to support the Homeless World Cup. 24．The underlined words “coming off” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.A. giving upB. falling inC. cutting offD. looking downBI was a dance teacher when I first began working with people who have disabilities. I had thirty students. These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps togeth er. We laughed together and we shared a love of music and f ellowship.I had one pupil, Dan, who didn’t appear to get much out of the class. I never had eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building , he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class. They said that my class was the high point of their son’s week. Wer e they just being polite?A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than us ual pulling into the school parking lot. Ahead of me by one ro w of cars, and over to one side, was my student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building. He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anti cipation of（期待着）his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class, it surely me ant a lot to him. Dan did indeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it.Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remi nd them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pac e as those who are in the middle of the activity. When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too! Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to re ach your students. Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what your job involves.25．The writer found her working with disabilities _______. A. boring B. confusingC. satisfyingD. challenging26．The writer has learned from Dan that ______.A. a teacher is sure to reach his studentsB. kids with disabilities need more loveC. students learn in different waysD. a students make achievements out of a class27．What can we learn from the passage?A. The writer was doubtful when hearing what Dan’s parents s aid.B. Dan didn’t get much out of the dancing class.C. Dan received more attention in the writer’s class.D. The writer was impatient with Dan at first.28．What may be the best title for the passage?A. A student with disabilityB. Learning with DanC. Enjoying a lesson with childrenD. Sharing love with studentsCIf you want to express something so unbelievable that it must have been a special effect, you have a new word to add to yo ur vocabulary.It’s“Duang”, an onomatopoetic (拟声词) word which doesn’t relate to any particular Chinese chara cter and refers to a special effect.A video parody (恶搞) adapted from a shampoo commercial featuring Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan spread quickly online, leading Internet us ers to invent the new word.The video begins with Chan flashing his black, smooth hair, w hich would have been perfect except that it was not his real h air.Next, a self-satisfied Chan admits, to the repetitive, rhythmical sounds of “Duang”,“I refused to approve of this product when they first c ame to me because of my thin hair, but the director insisted, s aying special effects could be used to make my hair look healt hy on the screen. Now you see, it’s all special effects. It’s not real.”The original advertisement became the target of punishment by the go vernment for over-spreading the effects of the shampoo after it was broadcast in 2004.“Duang” has now become one of the hottest topics on Sina W eibo, a Twitter-like Chinese social network site among those crazy ones imita ting Jackie Chan’s speech in different situations.The actor’s Weibo account was flooded with comments contai ning the word in this sweeping online trend.The video came at a time when the famous movie star has be en under public attention after trying to save the ill image of hi s son, Jaycee Chan, who was released from prison this week. Data from Baidu, the major Chinese search engine, also prov ed the phrase’s popularity as it has been searched more than 586,000 times within two days.The word of geili’s sudden rise in 2010 caught the attention of international media when it made up for the word’s official tra nslation－geilivable－to describe something cool or awesome.It’s not the first time that online word has become a regular vo cabulary in China.29．From the passage we know that the word “Duang” was o riginally made .A. by some crazy Internet usersB. to refer to a kind of productC. by Hong Kong actor Jackie ChanD. to express some special meaning30．From the passage we know that the new word “geili” is .A. only popular in ChinaB. a cool and awesome wordC. used by ordinary peopleD. also widely used abroad31．What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To tell us online words have enriched Chinese vocabulary.B. To teach all the Internet users how to invent new words.C. To explain how Jackie Chan invented the popular word.D. To urge people to fight against the false advertisements.DDennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explai n why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicin g 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, and traditional Eastern medicine, in location s including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excellent 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 r eport on adult gap years published this year by a market rese arch company also described the potential American market f or gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out o f a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” sai d Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His ti me studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went int o health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medici ne at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those e xperiences 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 a nd Human Capital Management at New York University, certa inly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and comp anies. For employees, investing in themselvesand improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshe d and have given more thought to their career. For companies , offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.32．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 research33．The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ______.A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy 34．What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “gap year”?A. Positive.B. DoubtfulC. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.35．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.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 ,was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early nextmorning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s co ughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 ---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments.

Which of the following may require an extra payment?A. Cooked dinner.B. Mealtime dessert.C. Packed lunch.D. Special diet.BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads hav e. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost torepair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.41. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.42. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.43. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_______.A. His son had the ability to fix it.B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help.44. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _______.A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude45. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”46. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.DFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard asbefore, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51. ` People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems第II卷第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more.After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced rea ding and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a poi nt in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 56.

上海市11校2016届高三12月联考英语试卷(附答案)

2015-2016学年度第一学期十一校联考（附答案）II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A(16分)(A)Strange things happen when you travel …The Johnson family expected to see some whales when they rented a boat to sail around the Australian coast. But they didn’t ex pect a 30-foot humpback whale to leap out of the ocean onto their boat. Amazingly, no one was seriously hurt, not even (25) whale.If you think that’s unbelievable, how about the story of Roger Lausier? Aged four, he had wandered away from his mother on Salem beach, Massachusetts and (26) (save) from drowning by a woman called Alice Blaise. After nine years, Roger was on the same beach when he saw a man fall overboard. Roger saved his life. The man turned out to be Alice Blaise’s husband.Some of the most unbelievable travel stories, it seems, are about a pet. Charlie, a cat who decided to take a nap inside the engine of his neighbour’s car and was found after (27)(drive) 160 miles away. Luckily for him, he was completely unhurt.What about the things people lose and find when they are travelling? Rings top the list. In Hawaii, Ken Da Vico, who is a professional diver, claims (28) (find) about fifteen wedding rings a year in the sea. He returns many of them to their owners. (29) a fish eats the ring, there is still hope. There are many reports (30) rings are found years later inside the stomachs of sharks, and other kinds of fish.(B)The World’s Best RestaurantOne day, my colleague and I went to visit a factory in Marinjab. As we drove back along the long road, (31) of us were hungry and tired. Our only hope was of finding a small roadside café to have some weak tea and a little sugar.Just then we came to a village made of small huts with flat roofs. Outside one of the many huts (32) (be) a sign, “ghahvehkhaneh” (café) so we went in. It was cool inside, and the owner came in from the back and greeted us. “Good afternoon,” he said, (33)perfect English. “My name is Hosseini. We do not usually get any f oreigners here. It will be a pleasure and an honour to prepare a meal for you.”A pale-faced lady appeared with a tablecloth, and some knives and forks, shortly followed by Mr Hosseini himself, (34) (carry) a couple of bowls of soup. (35) (make) with spinach and yoghurt, it was the most delicious soup I have ever eaten. Soon, the next courses arrived. We ate in silence, and finished with Turkish coffee. We asked Mr Hosseini how much it (36) (cost), and I can tell you it was astonishingly cheap.I told a lot of friends about the meal I had, but no one believed me. “How (37)you get such a meal in such a remote place?” an English engineer friend asked me.A few months (38) (late), I returned on exactly the same route with this engineer friend. We reached the village but there was no sign of the café. It seemed (39) the building had never existed. We drove away disappointed. Naturally, my companion laughed at me. “You have a wonderful imagination,” he said. I don’t have an y explanation. I only know that I definitely had a meal in this village, in a café (40) , ever since, I have called “the world’s best restaurant”.Reality TV began in the early 1980s, when a Japanese television company made a programme, Endurance. Starting with thousands of contestants in the first show, the programme presenters made them do really difficult and 41 things in every episode(集). The presenters made fun of the contestants, too. Viewing 42 in Japan were enormous.In another reality TV programme, Survivor, sixteen people are taken to a(n) 43 island and made to stay there for more than a month. They have to find their own food or go hungry. The producers let the contestants take one luxury item each. Every three days, one contestant must leave the island and the last person wins £1 million.It’s not just adults who take part in these shows. A television 44 in Britain in 2003, That’ll teach ‘em, took 30 teenagers and put them in a(n) 45 King’s school, where they lived for o ne month and received 1950s-style tuition. The pupils were made to wear thick 1950s school uniforms (including a school hat) during the hot summer and they had to do a long run every day. “They made us have cold showers and we had to have our hands 46 every day to see if they were clean,” says one pupil. “We couldn’t take anything from our modern lives into the school.” Although there was no prize money in this programme, the teenagers learned a lot from the experience.In 2004, there was a programme in Britain where contestants were not 47 to sleep for seven days to try to win £97,000 prize money. The winner was 19-year-old Clare Southern. However, this programme had many 48 from viewers.But where will it stop? Programmes like this are 49 all over the world. But there are people who think that these programmes 50 both the contestants and the viewers, and feel that contestants are often made to do dangerous things to make good television.III. Reading Comprehension Section A(15分)Think of three historical figures. What do you know about them? Where did you get your information from? The chances are that you either read it somewhere or someone who read it somewhere told you about it. Did you ever 51 who wrote down these facts? How can you be sure that they are 52 ? The thing is, many historical “facts” are not like what you know about them.Let’s think about the 53 of America. What’s the first name that comes to mind? More than likely it’s Christopher Columbus. But is it the case? He had 54 to reach Asia and that’s where he thought he was when he came to America. But there were many people there before him. The first ones were 55 the Native Americans, thousands of years before 1492. Even the Vikings had made a number of expeditions, with Leif Eriksson landing there in around 1000 A.D. Perhaps Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer, was the discoverer of America. 56 , unlike Columbus before him, he was the first fifteen-century explorer to realize where he w as, or rather, where he definitely wasn’t. So, maybe the word “re-discover” is more 57 when it comes to Columbus, if history is to give him any credit at all.Everyone believes such historical “facts” because, like you, they got them from what they th ought was a 58 source. But how can such things be written down in the first place? One of the reasons must be that history is seldom “cut and dried”. The events are often complicated and 59 . Another reason is that such “facts” always 60 a grain of truth. Columbus was not the first person to travel to America,but he was the first fifteen-century explorer to go there. His “re-discovery” was, from a historical point of view, extremely 61 for Europe since his voyages opened up large-scale commerce between Europe and America.History has 62 been written by the winners. If the conquered peoples had written the history of the discovery of the New World, it would most probably have been very different, but not necessarily objective: the point of view of the conquered can be just as 63 as the point of view of the conqueror. But that is not the 64 story. The writing of history depends not only on the “side” the writer is on, but also on the culture and attitudes of the era it is written in.History is always 65 . So, remember: when you read history, take it with a pinch of salt.51. A. go over B. make up C. see to D. think about52. A. complete B. funny C. strange D. true53. A. conquer B. development C. discovery D. foundation54. A. gone on B. set out C. turned out D. taken on55. A. certainly B. historically C. necessarily D. unbelievably56. A. In addition B. After all C. To sum up D. For example57. A. accurate B. common C. harmonious D. familiar58. A. political B. secret C. reliable D. thorough59. A. messy B. clear C. proper D. evil60. A. exhibit B. overlook C. abandon D. contain61. A. pointless B. significant C. troublesome D. purposeful62. A. traditionally B. exceptionally C. marvelously D. unconsciously63. A. impersonal B. changeable C. prejudiced D. thoughtful64. A. real B. whole C. famous D. false65. A. inevitable B. important C. unexpected D. subjectiveSection B (24分)(A)Home to 8.2 million people, 36 percent of whom were born outside the United States, New York, known as the Big Apple, is the biggest city in America. Nearly twenty times bigger than the capital, Washington DC, you might expect New York to be tw enty times more dangerous. Actually, it’s safer. Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities. It’s also healthier than it used to be. For example, the smoking rate has gone down from 21.5 percent a few years ago, to 16.9 percent today.New Yorkers should be delighted, shouldn’t they? In fact, many feel that New York is losing its identity. It used to be the city that never sleeps. These days it’s the city that never smokes, drinks or does anything naughty (at least, not in public). The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.If you decided to have a picnic in Central Park, you’d need to be careful—if you decided to feed the birds with your sandwich, you could be arrested. It’s banned. I n many countries a mobile phone going off in the cinema is annoying. In New York it’s illegal. So is putting your bag on an empty seat in the subway. If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette, that would be OK, wouldn’t it? Er … no. You can’t smoke in public in New York City. In fact, you can’t smoke outdoors on the street or in parks either. The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine, Graydon Carter, says, “Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work, but not an empty ashtray.” He should know. The police came to his office andtook away his ashtray.But not all of New York’s inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry, seventy-two, said, “The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws, America would be a better place to live.”The new laws have helped turn the city into one of the healthiest—and most pleasant places to live in America—very different from its old image of a dirty and dangerous city. Its pavements are almost litter-free, its bars cle an and its streets among America’s safest. Not putting your bag on subway seats might be a small price to pay.66. The author writes Paragraph 1 in order to tell the reader that New York is _____.A. bigger than Washington D.C.B. the city with most immigrantsC. safer and healthierD. the most populated city in the U.S.67. Which of the following is forbidden by law in New York?A. Eating sandwich in the Central Park.B. Putting a bag on an empty subway seat.C. Turning on the sound of the mobile phone.D. Smoking at home.68. What does Graydon Carter imply?A. Some of New York’s new laws are not reasonable.B. A gun is much easier to get than an ashtray.C. The police had no right to take away his ashtray.D. There should be a law to keep guns away from people.69. What is the author’s attitude towards New York’s new laws?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Uninterested70. All of the following are very likely to be invited to the debate advertised above EXCEPT _____.A. doctorsB. biologistsC. engineersD. accountants71. What is the topic of the debate?A. The reason why reading our genes won’t be as expensive as it is now.B. The changes that personlised healthcare may bring about.C. How health apps will become in the future.D. How society responds to technology development.72. Which of the following statements is true according the advertisement?A. Reading people’s genes will soon be as easy as taking a beach holida y.B. Handheld electronics play a very important part in the development of medicine.C. It’s not certain whether this new era of healthcare will do us good or not.D. Scientists and health services are well prepared for the changes that may happen.(C)In 1851, Auguste Comte, the French philosopher and father of sociology, coined the new word altruism as part of a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles.He defined it as “intentional action for the welfare of othe rs that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or a loss to the actor”. At that time, studies of animal behavior and phrenology (颅相学) led him to locate egotistical (自我本位的) instincts at the back of the brain, altruistic ones at the front.Today, we have a far more sophisticated knowledge of the neurological (神经学的) and biochemical factors that underpin kind behavior. And this science forms the bases of two books aimed at general readers—but also at those who, despite the research, still doubt the existence of altruism.However, the books may end up providing more information for the naysayers. Take The Altruistic Brain by neuroscientist Donald Pfaff. On solid scientific ground, he builds a five-step theory of how altruism occurs, which depends on an idea that is unconvincing and may achieve the opposite result. Pfaff argues that to act altruistically you should first visualize the receiver of your good will, then mentally transform their image into your own, “from angle to angle and curve to curve”. Does it really work?At the core of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson’s Does Altruism Exist?is another contentious (有争议的) idea: altruism has evolved as the result of group selection. But Wilson argues his corner masterfully, providing a clever reply to the belief that natural selection occurs only at the level of the selfish gene: “Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups,” he says.In other words, we cooperate when doing so gives our team the advantage. That doesn’t sound very selfless either.Wilson acknowledges this, but argues that thoughts and feelings are less important than actions.A ccording to evolutionary theory, pure altruists do exist, but it doesn’t matter why people choose to help others—their reasons may be difficult even for themselves to understand. What matters is that humans can coordinate their activities in just the right way to achieve common goals. Other animals do this too, but we are masters. “Teamwork is the signature adaptation of our species,” he says.Pfaff goes further, insisting that our brain biology “urges us to be kind”. He believes this knowledge alone will inspire individuals to be more altruistic. His desire to create a better world is admirable and some of his ideas are interesting, but Wilson’s analysis is clearer.While it is in our nature to be altruistic, Wilson says, we also have a healthy regard for self-interest and a resistance to being pushed around. Which one comes to the fore depends on the environment in which we find ourselves. Ethics, he says, cannot be taught at individual level, but are “a property of the whole system”.73. Which of the fol lowing can be considered an altruistic behaviour according to Comte’s definition?A. A person offers to donate his liver to another who needs one.B. A clerk returns the umbrella to his colleague which he has kept for a long time .C. A student volunteers to work in the orphanage to collect data for his research.D. A police officer spots a car parking in the no-parking area, finding a child in the trunk.74. The word “naysayers” (in paragraph 4) most probably means _____.A. people who take a positive attitudeB. people who doubts somethingC. people who have no say in an areaD. people who are experts in an area75. What does Donald Pfaff think people should do in order to altruistically?A. Draw a picture of the person they are going to help.B. Transform the receiver into a kind person.C.

Being kind is not something people are born with.B. People in groups are less likely to be selfish.C. People may well act selflessly because of where they are.D. Most people know clearly why they are ready to help others.77. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Figuring out what makes us behave selflessly is a tricky business.B. Unlike Donald Pfaff’s book, David Sloan’s book aims at professional readers.C. Comte’s definition of altruism proves to be impractical in mo dern times.D. Both Donald Pfaff and David Sloan lay emphasis on team work.Section D (8分)Ellie is a psychologist, and a good one at that. Smile in a certain way, and she knows precisely what your smile means. She listens to what you say, processes every word, works out the meaning of your pitch, your tone, your posture, everything. She is at the top of her game but, according to a new study, her greatest advantage is that she is not human.When faced with tough or potentially embarrassing questions, people often do not tell doctors what they need to hear. Yet the researchers behind Ellie, led by Jonathan Gratch at the Institute for CreativeTechnologies, in Los Angeles, suspected from their years of monitoring human interactions with computers that people might be more willing to talk if presented with an avatar, that is, a virtual figure. To test this idea, they put 239 people in front of Ellie to have a chat with her about their lives. Half were told (truthfully) they would be interacting with an artificially intelligent virtual human (AIVH); the others were told (falsely) that Ellie was a bit like a puppet, and was having her strings pulled remotely by a person.Designed to search for psychological problems, Ellie worked with each participant in the study in the same manner. She started every interview with ice-breaking questions, such as, “Where are you from?” She followed these with more clinical ones, like, “How easy is it for you to get a good night’s sleep?” She finished with questions intended to lighten the participant’s mood, for instance, “What are you most proud of?”Dr Gratch and his colleagues report that, though every participant interacted with the same avatar, their experiences differed markedly based on what they believed they were dealing with. Those who thought Ellie was under the control of a human operator reported greater fear of disclosing personal information, and said they managed more carefully what they expressed during the session, than did those who believed they were simply interacting with a computer.This quality of encouraging openness and honesty, Dr Gratch believes, will be of particular value in assessing the psychological problems of soldiers—a view shared by America’s Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is helping to pay for the project.Soldiers value being tough, and many avoid seeing psychologists at all costs. That means conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which military men and women particularly suffer, often get dangerous before they are caught. Ellie could change things for the better by secretly informing soldiers with PTSD that she feels they could be a risk to themselves and others, and advising them about how to seek treatment.(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to the passage, Ellie is actually a(n)avatar / virtual figure / virtual psychologist / virtual human.79. The experiment with 239 people proves that people are more open and honest with an AIVH.80. During the chat, soon after some ice-breaking questions, Ellie asked interviewees other questions in order to find out what was wrong with them.81. Why is Dr. Gratch’s research valuable for soldiers in particular?Soldiers avoid seeing psychologists.第Ⅱ卷I.

AThe teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey. During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre — not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas— and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities — and it did — but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.21. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She developed her taste for music.C. She discovered her talent for dancing.D. She introduced her to adult plays.22. What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. A book of great fun.B. A writer of high fame.C. A serious masterpiece.D. A heartbreaking play.23. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to________.A. develop her abilities to writeB. give her a chance to collect materialC. involve her in teenage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writing jobs24. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who________.A. trained pupils to be hard-working and well-disciplinedB. gave pupils confidence in making use of their potentialC. gave importance to what was practical or possible for pupilsD. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learningBThey like using the Internet．They have lots of pocket money to spend．And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy — games, CDs and clothing — are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a service that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate (刺激)online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK．Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school —88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of thosewith Internet access has bought something online — mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed (隐藏的) 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.25. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Sellers.B. Buyers.C. Teenagers.D. Parents.26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access．B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.27. A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ________.A. a new machineB. special coins and notesC. prepaid cardsD. pay-as-you-go mobile phones28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. New credit cards for parents.D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.C“Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low-carbon economy. In terms of energy saving and green economy, China doesn't lag behind developed nations,” said Zhou Changyi, director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.“While we can lea rn many aspects from developed nations, they also should learn something from us, such as water conservation,” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair.He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to fight climate change. The United Kingdom, for example, is concerned about transport, buildings and newenergy in reducing carbon emissions. For China, the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life-cycle assessment, or LCA, which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing(制造业) stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker, head of ABB’s process automation division for North Asia and China, said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life-cycle instead of on its initial investment.Richard Hausmann, North East Asia CEO of Siemens, said, “The color of future industrialization is green.”The Germany company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros ( US 8. 8 billion) for intelligent power networks, Smart Grid, over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology, advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy, reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.29. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “lag behind” in Paragraph 1?A. act better thanB. perform worse thanC. run faster thanD. keep quieter than30. What do we know about LCA from the text?A. LCA is used to study the impact on a product.B. LCA is one of the exhibitions at this year’s fair.C. LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.D. LCA advises industrial customers to focus on the beginning investment.31. ________ about Smart Grid isn’t mentioned in the text.A. Small in sizeB. Low-costC. Energy-savingD. Security32. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Intelligent Power NetworksB. Low-carbon Economy —a Shared GoalC. Two Biggest Markets for Smart GridD. Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn from Each OtherD33. This passage is most probably ________.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD. a part of a recommendation letter from a university34. According to th e “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be________.A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker35. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ________.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeonD. specializes in psychology第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

课时作业11Festivals around the world Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·福建省武平一中测试)Christmas is perhaps the most important holiday in American culture. On Christmas Eve, children sit out with parents in the living room hanging stockings, setting up a Christmas tree, eating candy canes, and setting up milk and cookies for Santa Claus. Perhaps the most beloved figure in American history, Santa Claus has become an important icon for Christmas.I remember believing in Santa when I was a very young girl. However, as I grew older, I lear ned many facts that “proved” his existence as false. Always inquisitive by nature and very keen on the scientific method of experimentation, I was determined to use tests and observations to determine whether Santa Claus was real.The first year of tests happened when I was 5. I decided that if I stayed up all night on Christmas Eve, I could see if Santa really did come down the chimney. However, that was a futile attempt, I fell asleep that year. The next year, I was able to test if location was an issue with Santa's deliveries. That year, my family spent Christmas with the family of one of my mother's friends. At the time, I decided that if Santa was all-knowing he would know I wasn't home. Sure enough, there was a pretty pink package waiting for me the next morning. At age 7, I came up with my ultimate test to see if Santa was real. That year, I didn't send out my Christmas letter to Santa. On Christmas Eve, my mother dragged me to our local Wal-Mart and led me around the toy section. I refused to say a word, but did let my eye linger on a ballet set. I figured that “Santa” wouldn't know whatto get me because he shouldn't be able to read my mind. However, mother would know everything that caught my eye in the store. If I got the ballet set the next morning, I would have my evidence. Christmas morning, there was the ballet set, sitting under the tree. As I didn't use it much, mother ended up returning it a few days later. She claimed Santa was generous enough to leave a receipt. That was the end to my mission to discover the existence of Santa.Now, I can look back on all of these with fond nostalgia(怀旧). The magic and mystery of it all made Christmas a fun time. Santa was a big part of my childhood.1．Children do all the things on Christmas Eve except ________ .A．set up a Christmas treeB．hang stockings and eat candy canesC．prepare milk and cookies for Santa ClausD．wait for Santa Claus with their parents2．The underlined word “futile” means ________.A．unreal B．unusualC．unsuccessful D．unreasonable3．How did the writer prove the existence of Santa Claus as false?A．He stayed up all night on Christmas Eve and saw Santa come down the chimney.B．He found that Santa was all-knowing and could make the deliveries accurate.C．He didn't send out his Christmas letter but still got his Christmas present.D．He used the receipt left by Santa to return his present.4．The writer wants to tell us that ________.A．He proved the existence of Santa Claus as falseB．Christmas and Santa is a part of his life as well as his childC．Christmas plays an important role in American cultureD．Santa Claus is the most popular figure in American history答案与解析本文讲述了作者对他童年的怀念，因为他的童年一大部分是圣诞老人陪伴度过的。

Motorheads have greater ability than office workers．CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."46. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.47. Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as ______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men48. Vaillant's team obtained their findings by ______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. evaluating the men's mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men's problem solving ability49. What does the underlined word "sharp" probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to react.B. Having a thin edge.C. Clear and definite.D. Sudden and rapid.50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one's success.DFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has．There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding．We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start-up fatigue（疲惫） and performance fatigue．In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult．And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel．Such start-up fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones．The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first．Years ago，I was asked to write 102essays on the great ideas of some famousauthors．Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical（按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea．And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing．Experience proved that the rule works．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle．Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right．Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again．In such a situation，I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over．When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica （《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles．Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked．My fatigue became almost unbearable．One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved．I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me．Relived，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep．An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind．In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step．Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue．Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing．Human beings，I believe must try to succeed．Success，then，means never feeling tired．51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ______ ．A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue？ ______A. Writing essays in strict order．B. Building up physical strength．C. Leaving out the toughest ideas．D. Dealing with the hardest task first．53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue？ ______A. Before starting a difficult task．B. When all the solutions fail．C. If the job is rather boring．D. After finding a way out．54. According to the author，the unconscious mind may help us ______ ．A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage？ ______A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue：A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue：An Early Sign of Health Problems．56. I'm a 34-year-old man，married，lived in a nice house，and have a successful career as an educational consultant．But my life was not always so great．I had a learning disability from an early age．I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help．Still，I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools．My life improved remarkably when I discovered art．The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words．I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay（黏土）．Here I learned my first important lesson：disabled as I was in language．I could still be smart and well express myself with clay．And my confidence came along．I got my next lesson from rock climbing．It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start．I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing；it was practice．So I did it more．After about five years of climbing，I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall．I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time，you will get better at it．Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write．Every day I practiced reading and writing，which I used to avoid as much as possible．After two hard years，I was literate．Having gone through the long process with art，rock climbing，and reading and writing，now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown，hard，but interesting．56．What made the author's school days difficult？（No more than 5 words） ______ 57．Why did art give the author confidence？（No more than 10 words） ______ 58．What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing？（No more than 15 words）______59．What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4？（No more than 5 words）______60．How does the author's story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life？Put it in your own words．（No more than 20 words） ______．57. 假设你是晨光中学的学生会主席李津．一批来自英国的高中生与你校学生开展了为期两周的交流活动．现在，他们即将回国，你将在欢送会上致辞．请根据以下提示写一篇发言稿．（1）回顾双方的交流活动（如学习、生活、体育、文艺等方面）；（2）谈谈收获或感情；（3）表达祝愿语期望．注意：（1）词数不少于100；（2）可适当加入细节，是内容充实、行文连贯；（3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．Dear friends，How time flies!Thank you．答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】句意：——这是一次非常棒的旅行，那么你更喜欢哪个城市，巴黎还是罗马？——很难说，它们都既有好的也有不好的一面。
